However if I had been an investor, or had a couple of houses I just couldn't vote Labor. I can see why people stayed with the coalition. Shorten made it into a class debate and it seemed to backfire.

^^ I was at a election party last night. The ages ranged from mid-40s to late 70s. It was in Glebe, Sydney, a progressive / Green stronghold.
There were no tears last night when the ALP went down - just quiet looks of relief, much the look you exchange when a drunk and argumentative family member finally leaves your dinner party and goes home. It was an unusual situation for me - no-one wanted to argue about the result.
I think this speaks volumes
ps - Summer Hill Primary still has a lot of work to do on the sausages (non-partisan comment
)
