  "summary": "One Nation has claimed victory in the Secret Harbour state byelection in Western Australia, with Luke Herdegen securing 57% of the vote after preferences. The result is expected to send shockwaves across the country, as One Nation's WA leader Rod Caddies stated that there are \"no safe Labor seats in this state or in this country anymore\". The election was triggered by senior minister Paul Papalia's mid-term retirement, and voters were concerned about issues such as cost-of-living pressures, housing, and perceived lack of community amenities.",
