If your answer is “the Morrison mob got kicked out and the Albanese Government is in”, umm, yeah, we know… But the definitive study on what led to that result was released yesterday, underscoring what the remarkable poll delivered. The Australian Election Study, led by researchers from ANU, goes heaps deep into the minds of 2,508 voters from across the country, and it’s uncovered a major issue for the major parties – they can no longer rely on their traditional base for support. Almost one in 3 voters supported a minor party/independent candidate ahead of the Coalition and Labor – the highest since the 1930s. That’s unlikely to be an anomaly… The authors reckon many under-40yos won’t go back to the majors. The Liberals will fare worse than Labor, they believe, because voters’ attitudes are moving to the left while the Libs’ policies remain tethered to the centre-right. If a wander down last election’s memory lane is your thing, this is a great read.
