In Western Australia's Secret Harbour by-election, Liberal candidate Basil Zempilas faces scrutiny over his potential alignment with the One Nation party. During a parliamentary session, Deputy Premier Rita Saffioti accused Zempilas of seeking a win for One Nation, a claim he denies. The Liberal Party appears to be cautiously engaging with One Nation, including allowing their candidate, Luke Herdegen, to participate in early voting events without criticism.

The by-election marks the first major test of One Nation's expanding appeal beyond eastern Australia.
