OPINION: Meanwhile, the genuine battlers in our community are drifting off to the Coalition via right-wing fringe parties.
And the narrowness of Labor’s win in both the federal and NSW elections can be put down to traditional Labor voters now crab-walking away from the party at the federal and state levels, via primary votes for right-wing fringe parties.
The ethnicity of electorates and voters moving left was overwhelmingly overseas-born, particularly if part of the more recent upsurge in migrants from Asian countries including China, Hong Kong, South Korea, Malaysia, Taiwan and Singapore.Religion played no statistically significant part in the outcome, despite leaders being practising Catholics. Similarly, there was no sign that electorates containing higher numbers of teachers, or nurses or public servants swung more heavily to Labor.
The homes swinging to Labor tended to contain a formally married mum and dad with a couple of kids, both attending private schools, which is becoming typical of middle-aged swinging voter and professional families.
