  • Re Ep ‘Why did the Coalition perform so poorly among multicultural voters, …’

    The opening premise of this (ie its title) is arrogant, presumptuous & offensive! Fancy intimating that otherwise multicultural, religious Aussies, etc - would otherwise normally vote LNP / Conservative - indeed! The misguided premise itself better explains why LNP & Co lost - ie their sheer arrogance!
