Australians born after 1996 are the most progressive since the second world war, with the Coalition on track to tank in future elections if it can’t appeal to younger voters, a new report claims.
Titled “Generation Left: young voters deserting the right”, and released on Thursday by the Centre for Independent Studies thinktank, the report argues that generation Z adults – those born between 1996 and 2009 – are shaping up to be far less likely than any previous generation to become conservative as they age.
