We have a large wealthy electorate - and Labor
should invest more in it if it want to win.
People usually prefer candidates
who are familiar to them. Especially the young voters - who
tend to stay away from the much older male candidates that Labor
puts in. Matthew Guy looks good compared to them. Younger
candidates with more modern relevant outlooks would help.
I'm not sure who the Greens candidate is. I'll have to check
on that.

We have a large wealthy electorate
Foxy,
Wealthy in what way ? Definitely not in wisdom but yes, as in overpaid non-performers driving up rates & most costs for those who work for a living !

I've been asked about my electorate -
"wealthy in what way?"

I was referring to household incomes initially.
But of course, there's many other things that
make my electorate wealthy.

For example, the electorate is home to a thriving
and diverse local economy serviced by active
businesses and employing over 35,000 people. We have
a rich cultural diversity. We have a good age mix.
Over 60s - as well as our medium age being 43.
We have excellent schools, libraries, and healthcare
facilities in abundance as well as aged care.

We have a high household income with nearly 27% being
@2,500 per week. The electorate is hard working, successful,
highly educated with 42% of the population having a diploma
or higher (Greater Melbourne - 32.5%).

I wouldn't want to live any where else. Our parks are
magnificent.

indyvidual,

Usually most people do have to work hard for what they have.
Unless of course you are given a large inheritance.
Very few of us are given that. So I don't understand your
comments. They don't make sense.

They don't make sense.
Foxy,
Ok then, What kind of work brings in $2500/week ? Is it manufacturing or manipulating ?
In other words are these incomes economical to the employers ?
Just curious because when I discussed this with my Pilot mate he said he'd love to get that !

Indyvidual,

The electorate has a thriving and diverse local
economy serviced by registered 27,500 (ABS) local
businesses, including about 12,710 active businesses.
The businesses are varied.

Now back to the topic of the election.
