Election 2022 (Poll added)

Yes, the voting demographics dont change.

1.  Oldies tend to vote Labor.  Pension and health related generally.  Its why the pandemic response was lock it down hard and fast according to labor.  Protect your rusted on voters, and they will thank you for it.

I believe the opposite is true.  In general the elderly are conservative, rusted on Coalition supporters.  Think of the last election when Labor proposed stopping the franking credits refunds which affected about 3 per cent of the elderly .  Panic set in amongst pensioners not affected in any way but it ensured they turned against Labor.

I recall Gillard, when prime minister,  saying something along the lines " why do anything for them, they won't vote for us."
