Unfortunately I dont get to read as much media reporting as I'd like to, and typically my intake is on-line rather than hard copy which means you dont see it all. I'd like to take in more TV and radio too, but regrettably can't fit that in much at the moment either.
What I will say though is that Labor has one thing going for it. Most of the Australian Education sector is left-minded, and especially universities. Their academics should be called indoctrinators by and large. Any dissenting view of the Left is rarely welcomed, any complementary view is often rewarded. I'd love to see a breakdown of the voting patterns of people say 18-25 and compare them with other age cohorts. I guess that can only be guesstimated through polling 500 people at a time though.....
Anyone who goes to University seems to grow up drinking Coopers at the Uni bars and listening to the left half of the country wax lyrical.
I'm still getting over my results from that automatic polling tendency thing we did pre-election, where I was almost equal across the line of the three major parties!
Then they graduate, get jobs as Lawyers,accountants, doctors, start wearing blue and brown and complaining about bloody radical uni students.
As someone who spent 8 years in two Australian Universities during the golden age of left wing radicalism in the 1970s the above is a good assessment by Sqauwk and the reason why I think Brendan Nelson as education minister abolished the compulsory student fee, this converted the universities from vibrant institutions to glorified high schools. Leaping is also right nothing like a little a little cash to convert a socialist to the "right way"
