New South Wales votes on Saturday 13 March 2027, and One Nation's going in with a leader. Pauline Hanson's named Mike Newman as state leader, and he's running in the Labor-held Hunter seat of Cessnock. Published polls have One Nation second. Leaked polling reported by News24 has it winning outright, though nobody's published or verified those numbers. Away from the campaign, there's the Commonwealth's shortlist for Sydney to Newcastle high-speed rail, the Quorn Park solar and battery hybrid near Parkes, and Hanson's factory visit in Wagga Wagga. It's all here.
