History edit
In 2017, NSW One Nation published its party constitution.[1]
In 2018, former Labor leader Mark Latham joined One Nation as the party's leader in New South Wales.[2]
At the 2019 state election, One Nation won two seats on the Legislative Council, which were won by Mark Latham and Rod Roberts.
For the 2023 state election, the party announced it would contest in more electorates.[3] Outgoing MP for Bankstown Tania Mihailuk joined One Nation and contested the Legislative Council.[4] Mark Latham also successfully contested the Legislative Council, having resigned from his seat creating a casual vacancy to run for another term.[5] The vacancy was filled by former Legislative Assembly member Tania Mihailuk.[6][7]
MLC Rod Roberts was elected as Deputy President of the Legislative Council during the 58th Parliament of New South Wales, he had previously served as Assistant President[8]
Latham was removed as leader by the national party executive on 14 August 2023.[9]
Roberts supported Latham against Hanson in the ensuing dispute, claiming that Hanson's decision to appoint perennial candidate Steve Mav as NSW party treasurer was misguided.[10]
On 22 August 2023, Mark Latham left the party to become an independent, he was joined by his colleague Rod Roberts.[11]
Mihailuk became state leader on December 10 2023.
