Food for thought as to where my thought process came from:

Queensland is probably the last state to use as a snapshot of the rest of Australia.
The seniors vote in Queensland during the last state election was driven by two factors.
Firstly the handling of the pandemic.
Despite the rest of Australia seeing her as a heartless bitch, to older Queenslanders Annastacia was the one who kept us pretty safe.
While other parts suffered long lockdowns we went about life 'comparatively' much less affected.
Secondly, the alternative LNP was unable to present themselves as an opposition with any real advantages for older folks. They were pretty ineffective in championing the case for change.
I'm very much in the middle of the spectrum when it comes to voting.
As an older 'Queenslander' (not really I just live here ;D ) I had no hesitation in voting Labor in the State election.
Will I vote the same on Saturday?
Not sure, especially now I hear a Numbat might be running.
