One Nation Victoria has announced it will contest the Nepean by election, putting forward local manufacturing business owner Darren Hercus as its candidate. Darren Hercus is a family man who understands the pressure Victorian households and small businesses are facing after years of rising taxes, soaring operating costs and economic decline. With thousands of businesses shutting their doors or moving interstate in recent years, many locals feel the major parties have failed to protect Victoria’s economic backbone. Pauline Hanson’s One Nation says the Nepean by election is an opportunity to give voters a genuine grassroots alternative.

One Nation Victoria believes too many career politicians have lost touch with everyday Australians. Darren Hercus brings real world experience to the table, having built and run a business while raising a family in the local community. From infrastructure concerns and hospital capacity to cost of living pressures and small business support, the message from Nepean is clear. People want practical leadership and common sense policies. The by election is a chance for voters to send a strong message that they expect better from their representatives in the Victorian Parliament.
