New research from the Australian Election Study this year revealed millennials are actually becoming less likely to vote conservative. “I think in the case of Australia there’s a number of factors, the first and most obvious one is just a total lack of good conservative leadership at a political level,” Ms Cousens told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. “The second thing … is that millennials are missing two of what I think are the key conditions that push people rightwards as they get older. “That is one, earning a house and two having a child.”
