Labor desperately needs Gen Z voters. Too bad Albanese just drove us further away

  • The PM will spend much of his time on the campaign trail arguing his government has served young Australians well - a statement that was largely true until last week.

The article from The Sydney Morning Herald discusses the growing disconnect between Generation Z and the Labor Party, particularly under Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's leadership. It highlights that Labor's recent policy decisions, such as the stage 3 tax cuts, have been perceived as favoring older, wealthier voters over younger generations struggling with housing affordability and economic pressures. The author, a young voter, expresses frustration over the lack of policies addressing key issues like climate change, housing, and education, which are critical for Gen Z. This has led to a sense of alienation among young voters, with many feeling that Labor has not only failed to engage with their concerns but has actively pushed them away. The piece suggests that unless Labor shifts its focus to genuinely address the needs of younger Australians, it risks losing their support in future elections.
