Labor Party defector Tania Mihailuk will join One Nation in the upcoming state election, warning that her former party—which analysts believe stands a good chance of winning power—will send New South Wales “woke and broke.”

The MP has long warned the Labor Party of straying too far down the left side of politics—adopting policies like gender fluidity—and alienating its traditional voter base, including multicultural communities in the west of Sydney, like Mihailuk’s electorate of Bankstown.
