Thanks for this. As for the Oz election piece, it actually reassures me. Labor now has a structural incentive to not go crazy-woke. I hope Albo notices.
Great piece about the election Helen. I think you're correct to see this election result mostly as a manifestation of demographic shift, combined with the politics of being pissed off. The only thing you didn't find room to mention was the write-off for the Tories in the West, largely attributable to the popularity of state Premier Mark McGowan, as shown in his Labor party landslide last year. The impact of a long lingering afterglow indeed.
