Morning everyone. Demographics is the slow-burning issue that underpins so many changes in the way we live and how the future is shaped. A perfect illustration comes this morning in a report predicting that the Coalition will find it harder and harder to win elections because young Australians are the most progressive generation for decades and far less likely to shift to the right as they age (like their parents and grandparents have traditionally done). Fascinating stuff, plus we’ve got a scoop on the government suspending a big PwC contract, we’re building up to today’s Icac report into Gladys Berejiklian, and full coverage of a good day in the men’s Ashes test at Lord’s.
