The candidates are Katherine Deves, Arnon Wither, Manti Steele, and Daniel Hill. The party's NSW leader, Mike Newman, announced the contenders as \"people from the real world\" and not \"career politicians.\" Deves, a failed federal Liberal candidate who advocated for excluding transgender women from women's sports, will run in the NSW Legislative Council. She joined One Nation to contribute to the \"rescue, recovery, and restoration of our nation,\" citing the increasing cost of living and the government's commitment to destructive ideologies like DEI and net zero. If elected, Deves aims to address discrimination, hate speech, and birth certificates, ensuring women and girls have safe spaces in areas such as sports. One Nation has required candidates to sign non-disclosure agreements, preventing them from discussing their candidacy with the media. The party has only announced one lower house candidate, Newman, in the Cessnock electorate, but they plan to run candidates in all 93 lower house seats.",
