It is not without risk, Chris, absolutely.
But, you know, young voters sort of turfed the Liberal Party quite a while ago anyway.
People tend to become more conservative as they progress through life and they accrue assets and then they suddenly work out that everything they've got they've worked for and they don't want to sort of give it away to someone, you know.
And one of the huge problems with the housing crisis is that the asset class was dwindling.
So people weren't, you know, you're not buying a house or owning a house now until, you know, well into life.
So that sort of helped erode the Liberal Party's base because the asset, you know, the Liberal Party was built on the asset class.
Menzies made that whole thing about home ownership.
That's what sort of was the Liberal Party's bread and butter, people who'd worked hard and built a bit of wealth for themselves and their families.
And when that disappears, so too does the support.
And in turn, it's replaced by a resentment amongst those who can't get on the ladder like everyone else.
And that drives budgets like we saw last month.
A pleasure, Chris.
No worries.
