Do we have any reliable demographic polling stats from the election yet? It would be an interesting to peruse.
I reckon quite a few younger people may have voted conservative, at least more than you would expect.
The perfect way to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Tiananmen Square Massacre.

Unless they were an Industry Fund, then they could keep them.
More than a year after she published the articles , after the elections and when the PM is out of the country. Any journo willing to ask the acting PM if he knew about it, or was it all down to Dutton?
The AFP raid on Annika Smethurst should really be huge, huge news. How this plays out in the Oz press in the next few days will be very revealing.
Dutton now saying that the raid was entirely a decision of the AFP. But, did the AFP consult with him beforehand?
So, with all the strictures on those in public office subject to the Official Secrets Act, the AFP could not establish her source and what secret documents may have been passed to her, without raiding her home?
Any communication that the government might be considering using the superior technological surveillance capacity of Defence Signals could not be construed as contravention of the Official Secrets Act, as compared to information which should be in the public domain.
And, if she was sitting on information that might be captured by the Official Secrets Act, surely she would have cleared all the footprints by now.
Potatohead was giving a different narrative before?
Anyway, weâve known about climate change for decades now, the ecosystems wonât collapse tomorrow.
Death by a thousand cuts, boiled frog etc. come on.

11% made their minds up on the day the voted. So depends which headline they read that morning or who was the nicest young man who directed them to the farking sausages.
No better illustration of this than Sydney. Swings to Labor in the eastern suburbs, inner west and the North shore whilst the western suburbs all voted against their own interests. Itâs hard to gauge but the Murdoch media spin was especially vociferous in Sydney. The Telegraph, especially, was brutal on Shorten and Labor.
The incredibly targeted facebook ads must have had a big effect on the swing voters too
Death tax
Donât go stealing my 4 wheel drive ute.
Iâm sad to say that this ridiculous statement by the Libs early on in the campaign actually worked.
To be fair, Shorten said the words Death Tax first.
Leapt straight into the pig â â â â â â strategy without help from anyone.
So the draconian measures against Witness K, Richard Boyle and now a seemingly baseless raid of an actual journalist, this country is heading inexorably toward authoritarianism.

Weâll be in gooseâŚsorry lock step with most of the world, donât worry.
âThe correlation in both cases was not as strong as for other factors, and both showed a tendency to swing towards Labor. That is, electorates with higher proportions of younger people were more likely to swing towards Labor, as were electorates with a higher proportion of people over 80.â

Now ABC offices in Sydney raided by AFP - this is a police state.
I do like the ABCâs immediate response to the raid. Top two articles on their news website:
-
âAFP raid ABC HQ over Afghan File storiesâ.
-
âHere are all the Afghan File stories we are being raided overâ.
