Where it stands
The political fallout from the far-right party One Nation's win in Western Australia's Secret Harbour byelection is already being felt. The victory has left the Labor Party reeling, with the Guardian noting that the party is struggling to address the anger of voters.

The Australian reports that the party's leader, Pauline Hanson, is now shifting her focus to Victoria, where she hopes to build on her momentum. The outcome of the byelection has left the Labor and Liberal parties looking for answers, according to ABC News. The Reuters and Bloomberg.com reports confirm the win, noting that the party's victory is a significant blow to the established parties.
