Really insightful responses as always - and of course it’s #NotAllBoomers #auspol

Can I just say - what happened to the boomers?

Some were around during & involved with the massive cultural change of the 60s - and now support Parties like LNP, One Nation etc - & politicians like Dutton.

What happened to them?? #auspol

One must take extreme care targeting any group whose members are there by accident, rather than opting into an ideology, lest one strays (or encourages others to stray) into bigotry.

Unrelated question-have we seen any Arts policy? This election has been very scant on policy details in general.

Great question! Not a word that I've seen.

The Greens have released a policy that’s really exciting! Trial for a living wage for artists, funds to support festivals and more. It’s super exciting I think. But to your point, it’s the only specific arts announcement I’ve seen. https://greens.org.au/news/media-release/greens-launch-plan-save-arts-amid-crisis-creatives-australia

They still read newspapers …. And we know where they come from!
I’m technically a Boomer, but vote on behalf of my grandchildren. Never LNP and not even Labor this time, too disappointed.

Great thread Denise, thanks for the prompt 😁
It clearly put a cracker up the boomers 😂

We are still here and still active. Just look at some recent Nanna protests and Extinction Rebellion actions.

Some graphs from the Australian Electoral Survey.
Interesting.

The first election I voted in was 1975. I was devastated. I’m a Whitlam Boomer. We’re different. We want everyone to experience Gough Whitlam’s Quality of Life Agenda.

Ditto for me.
