Labor has resolved to stay out of the Farrer byelection in the hope its supporters will vote strategically to help stop One Nation winning the seat.

The decision not to contest was also based on the assumption Labor had no chance of winning the seat, which has been held by either the Nationals or the Liberals since its foundation in 1949.

Am I understanding this correctly? “We are not contesting this seat because it has always been filled with a right wing party and we’re hoping they don’t go extremist right wing”?

There is a quality independent candidate who those left of centre can vote for
