No doubt, but I can’t see this happening with millennials. They are living with different issues compared to previous generations. Housing affordability and climate change for example. These issues aren’t going away, and they will not vote for political parties that ignore them. I read an article the other day that claimed 1 in 5 millennials identify as LGBTQ+. That’s a bloody big number. And they vote.

Well if there's 1 in 5 millennials that identify as LGBTQ (which l doub't) they won't be voting for Labor then ,doing more and more deals with china ,who have a terrible record towards homosexuals
Where the *smile* was that article? 1 in 5? And you believe that? Hilarious.
You must mean "with" not "as"
Americans Still Greatly Overestimate U.S. Gay Population
U.S. adults estimate that nearly one in four Americans (23.6%) are gay or lesbian. Gallup has previously found that Americans have greatly overestimated the U.S. gay population.

Yeah l guess we need another party that lacks common sense .
Or should should l say add it to the list .
? And ? Are you suggesting the article Ian read was American?Americans Still Greatly Overestimate U.S. Gay Population

Yeh, but Ian said he read an article claiminbg 1 in 5, not that he thinks it is 1 in 5 which is what the gallup poll is showing
I imagine the numbers of people who identify AS LGBTQ is increasing with each generation as acceptance grows. But i know from my high school aged kids that it is nowhere near 1 in 5. Not even 1 in 10.
Ian's been reading too many TBR posts

Another victory for the Banshees in Aston today.
Meanwhile Bengals still reckons Dan and Albo are "crashing". Any more crashing and the LNP will have no seats left at all, but hey, sucks to be a sad old boomer eh Benghazi...
The only downside is that Dutton is probably done... Mr Potato Head, we hardly knew you

Devastating for the Libs.
Surely the message from the Australian public is that they want them to move further to the right. Right?
Turned on sky news to hear what spin they could put on it. Evidently it was a dirty campaign run by Labor.
No mention that maybe the electorate is rejecting the Liberal Party.
They continue to be in denial

Abbott is stupid enough to think that he can become Prime Minister again.......actually he's probably a better chance than Dutton. I wonder whether he would give Dutton a Knighthood.
Bravo Dutton bravo.............your strategy is going gang busters, your outdated policies are appealing to less and less voters.
"Labor is likely to win seat of Aston as counting counting in the by-election.
It’s the first time in 100 years the sitting government has won a seat from the opposition during by-election."
Read that Aston has a higher proportion of families with children, and higher percentage of mortgages than surrounding seats.
Seems that the Libs attacks on Labor regarding cost of living and their constant “why do Australians always pay more under Labor” rhetoric is not cutting through.
*smile* off potato head

Unbelievable.
I thought Labor were no chance. At the Federal election Labor got a 7.6% swing to them at a time when the Libs leader was incredibly unpopular and the local member was a complete liability. The Libs seemed to nominate a decent enough candidate and it is a by-election.
The Libs are in deep sh!t.
If Labor can make headway in Queensland the Libs will be completely uncompetitive.
