The Secret Harbour by-election in Western Australia, scheduled for next Saturday, will serve as a test for the political party One Nation.

By-elections are traditionally used to measure shifting voter sentiment between major electoral cycles. This specific contest provides the first clear empirical test of One Nation's current regional appeal outside of polling data in Western Australia.
