People want an alternative to Labor. The lazy strategy of vaguely catering to boomers is no longer working for the coalition - that base is simply dying out and they've never gotten around to appealing to anyone else.

Now their voters are splintering and ONP is picking up the nutters.

Interesting, there's a similar thing happening here in UK too with people turning away from 2 party labour and conservatives to:

  1. Plaid Cymru (Welsh independence party)
  2. SNP (Scottish National Party)
  3. Reform (England's nationalist party)
  4. Greens
  5. Lib Dems

A suspicious person might think it's an attempt to divide and conquer..

That’s pretty much it, yeah.

Can’t really expand on that either.

Labor’s had two terms now and while a lot of the stuff they’ve done is good, like wage rises and the work they’ve done in restoring healthcare access, people still aren’t feeling relief in terms of CoL.

This budget, while the jewel in the crown is long overdue, isn’t winning people over either. The NDIS changes are cruel and the developer giveaway is disgraceful.
