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."
Tend to agree.
Among friends, my age and older, the majority are LNP voters.
Funny thing is that many have changed from being ALP voters in their younger years.
