Shepparton just got a lot more politically spicy as Nationals MP Kim O’Keeffe steps down before the November election, leaving a key seat wide open — and sparking a fierce scramble. With three Nationals seats already up for grabs and One Nation eyeing vulnerable areas, the race is heating up. O’Keeffe’s personal exit to focus on family creates a vacuum, and the spotlight’s on Shepparton Mayor Shane Sali — a local favorite with Liberal ties but now courted by both the Nationals and One Nation. For One Nation, this could be their golden opportunity: an open seat where voters care more about results than party loyalty. The battle for Shepparton is on — and it’s shaping up to be one of the most consequential races in regional Australia.
