It’s painful to watch the Fake Left go in circles inside of its closed ideology trying to figure out why it lost the unlosable election. We’ve watched as various doyens of the left have proposed that it was climate change, Adani, bogans, housing or Bill. On Saturday the normally more incisive Mike Seccombe at the Saturday Paper blamed old farts:
In the end, the election was not a referendum on wages, as Bill Shorten predicted. Nor was it the climate change election, as progressives hoped and science demanded.
Instead, it became a generational contest between the aged and the rest, as predicted in these pages a year ago. And as so many times before, older voters delivered for the Coalition.
