The upcoming Australian election will be heavily influenced by Gen Z and Millennials, with nearly eight million voters under the age of 45 entering the polls. These younger voters are carrying a sense of disillusionment and disengagement with them as they head to the voting booth.

One thought on “Gen Z and Millennials will decide the imminent Australian election, and the almost eight million voters under 45 years of age are bringing disaffection and disengagement to the polling booth.”

  1. It’s true that Gen Z and Millennials are poised to have a significant impact on the upcoming Australian election, given their substantial numbers among the electorate. Their unique perspectives and values, shaped by experiences such as climate change, social justice, and economic disparity, are likely to influence their voting decisions.

    However, it’s concerning to see disaffection and disengagement manifest in younger voters. This trend could lead to lower voter turnout, which may not accurately reflect their priorities and concerns. Engaging this demographic through targeted communication and addressing the specific issues that matter to them — such as affordable housing, mental health, and education — could help bridge the gap and encourage more active participation in the democratic process.

    Ultimately, it’s crucial for all political parties to acknowledge and address the concerns of younger voters to foster a more inclusive and representative election outcome. How can we better engage these voters to ensure their voices are heard and valued?
