Some interesting analysis, imv, particularly when it comes to the rise of Gen Z and the diversity within that generation. For example,
Every year, the electorate that made the old duopoly possible shrinks, and the electorate in which the Greens poll in the 30s grows. Over time, this should aid the Greens in the seats where progressive Gen Z concentrates, which is to say the inner urban seats they already contest and a widening ring of middle suburban seats with heavy renter and student populations. The generational tide is the strongest structural argument that the Greens’ long plateau eventually breaks upwards.
But even here, a qualifier is required, and it is an important one.
Gen Z is not only the most left-leaning generation in Australian history. It is also the most diverse. A very large share of this cohort are the children of migrants, or migrants themselves, and through migration alone that share will keep growing. The overseas born and second-generation component of Gen Z behaves differently from its Anglo and established counterpart. It leans left, but it leans Labor.
How unbelievably echo chambered do you have to be to think bigger than medicare and the pension is a good number? Are you not aware of inflation? Are you not aware that most people think it’s a giant money hole filled with fraud?
Why do you keep pivoting to gas? Do you know anything about why gas has only a small tax as well or are you just going based on a popular greens narrative? Let me guess next comment from you: we need to tax the rich! that’ll pay for the NDIS!
I was addressing the gas tax with that, not the NDIS amendment.
And they’ve been fed shit. The frauds largely gone, and what we’ll get will be harder to pull off now with Shortens work.
The fraud’s around 3% of projected costs. Fuck you people have been sold a beauty.
The projected costs of the NDIS are projected. We pretty much know what we’ll collect on those exports.
Well I don’t, I mentioned other things as well. Tax cuts. AUKUS subs. The benefit of businesses within the industry the NDIS is creating.
Well that’s promising a good time because yes we need to raise tax rates on the wealthy. You can’t seriously be arguing that’s bad can you?
Since you’re going on about gas, it has a small tax because our politicians on both the major parties have spines of custard. The PRRT was industry designed. The Americans and the Japanese completely shafted us with that as well.
I think I might know a shitload more about all these things than you. If you’re going to condescend, have something. Make it better than projected data and please stay on topic.
Except for the ones that aren’t
Ok so you don’t know why there are limited taxes on it
They’re all projected. We cannot know this information, because we don’t truly know who will need the help.
So, it’s projected, and it’s based on past figures.
Besides which, again, these are our most disadvantaged.
Yeah, the major parties are spineless. They went for an industry based system because they’re lobbied and subsequently owned by the gas companies. Labor are in fact worse than the coalition here because they can’t respond, they have to consult caucus and their lobbyists first.
Similar to how Sarina Russo et al wrote Rishworth’s piss weak employment policy. Completely captured by the lobby Labor are.
But you go ahead and give us your explanation as to why we get shafted on it, instead of banging on with ‘you don’t know’. You’re losing with that.
Like Labor will lose Victoria and the rest of the country because they’ve sold it out.
