And that is possible because of the constituency they leaned into at that budget.
So the two-party preferred vote for Labor amongst Generation Z, that is Australians between 18 and 28, is just over 70%.
It's extraordinary at the levels.
The two-party preferred vote amongst Australians who speak a language other than English at home, 70%.
And amongst millennials, it's 56.
And so these constituencies are going to drive strong electoral results for Labor and lock in at least a minimum of 70-plus seats for them on a bad day.
I don't think so, because the word fair go...
Most people will tell us they think there isn't a fair go in the country right now.
Even before the budget, they think the system, the tax system, is designed to reward people with wealth and not those with incomes.
And that's the overwhelming position of everyone that is voting Labor, Green and One Nation and Independent.
everyone but the Liberal Party.
And the only electorates that the coalition's now left holding are electorates which are similar to till electorates, but these electorates that they've got, which is only just over a dozen, are basically electorates with high numbers of people with investments and assets.
So the coalition might be referring to their own base, but that's a shrinking base at that.

Pretty poor, you know, going to what we've just been talking about, and that is a growing number of Australians not feeling that they are being given the fair go.
And then the other one, which is, of course, his migration policy, which was, in my opinion, a policy designed to completely lock themselves out of big urban Australia.
So not only does it touch Australians who are permanent residents, what he fails to understand is many of these Australians who are permanent residents also have family who are citizens in their own household.
You might find a situation where the grandparents are permanent residents but the adult children are citizens.
