The electorate, including Dubbo, has also thrown its support behind Pauline Hanson’s One Nation, with the party securing close to ten per cent of Parkes’ first preference vote in the senate.

A total of 5033 Parkes voters had preferenced the party in Saturday’s poll as of Tuesday morning, with that number only set to grow as the counting continues this week.

The city’s north was the most supportive of One Nation, with 167 people (9.74 per cent) giving the party their first preference on the senate ballot paper.

Voters also threw their support behind One Nation in Dubbo South, (169 people, 8.75 per cent), Buninyong Public School (184 people, 7.92 per cent), Wesley House Community Centre (94 people, 7.59 per cent) and Dubbo West (118 people, 6.73 per cent), while results are yet to come in from the Dubbo Grove polling and pre-poll centres.

The rush of support is not confined to the Parkes electorate. One Nation’s Brian Burston is poised to claim a NSW senate seat, while party leader Pauline Hanson has been elected in Queensland with 9.16 per cent of the first preference vote.

Other minor parties also fared well in the Parkes electorate, with the Shooters, Fishers and Farmers party picking up 3097 votes (6.06 per cent) and the Greens securing 1556 (3.04 per cent).

“Large numbers of voters have turned away from the major parties indicating profound disenchantment with the way politics is conducted in Australia,” Charles Sturt University Constitutional law expert Dr Bede Harris said on Monday.

“It shows that voters are no longer swayed by the major parties' self-interested appeals to 'stability'.”
