One Nation’s Member for Farrer, David Farley has clarified his actions in Parliament last week on two divisions regarding gambling reform and the extension of the fuel excise cut.

Mr Farley, in his second week in Parliament with no staff resources, said he made a mistake with the divisions and had sought advice from the Clerk of the House of Representatives about correcting the vote.

“Unfortunately, I was not able to change my votes after the fact,” he said.

“I regret that I made these mistakes.

“They were made due to my inexperience in Parliament.

“Recruiting experienced staff to support my work has been difficult, however I am rectifying the situation.

“I further note that all of One Nation’s advisers are significantly overworked due to the Albanese Labor government’s refusal to provide Australia’s most popular political party with adequate staffing levels enjoyed by parties more closely aligned with Labor’s agenda.

“I reiterate I completely support all of One Nation’s positions and policies.

“I would not be a member of the party otherwise.”

“There is no policy or position difference between me and One Nation leader Senator Pauline Hanson, who has my full support,” Mr Farley said.

“I am privileged to have her support as well.

“I support the extension of the fuel excise cut, and my vote reflects this.

“My mistake was voting to support an amendment to the legislation, which was defeated.

“I support this relief for the mining industry, for farmers, for motorists, for businesses and for regional communities.

“I do not support putting any more taxpayer money into renewables.
