ABC  

A gun dealer and feral pig shooter from Mackay who secured One Nation's first, and likely only, seat in the state election will be a strong voice for regional Queensland, party leader Pauline Hanson has said. Key points: Stephen Andrew secures enough preferences to take seat of Mirani, ousting Labor MP Jim Pearce One Nation may win just one seat, ABC election analyst Antony Green predicts However, Pauline Hanson says One Nation will win about five more seats With 75 per cent of the vote counted, One Nation's candidate Stephen Andrew has secured enough preferences to take the northern seat of Mirani, ousting Labor MP Jim Pearce. Green has predicted One Nation and the Greens may win one seat each, Katter's Australia Party possibly three seats, and one independent. Mr Andrew would also become the Queensland leader of One Nation, by default, after the current leader Steve Dickson was turfed from his Sunshine Coast seat of Buderim.
