Youth issues will be ‘overrepresented’ this election, with baby boomers outnumbered for first time

Dr Intifar Chowdhury, a lecturer in government at Flinders University, spoke with ABC TV earlier about the generational trends on display at this election.

She said millenials and gen Z would outnumber baby boomers for the first time, who are down to 33% of the voting cohort.

European here: is the labor party in charge not a good thing down under?

Liberal are right/far-right

Better but not good.
