The Guardian reported that One Nation’s NSW leader Mike Newman unveiled four candidates for the Legislative Council on Sunday. Among them is Katherine Deves, a former federal Liberal candidate who lost her seat and previously campaigned to bar transgender women from women’s sport. Newman said the slate consists of “people from the real world” rather than “career politicians”. Deves is set to run for One Nation in next year’s New South Wales election. The announcement marks the party’s effort to field a fresh roster ahead of the state poll.
