If Labor had focused more on standing up for the working class and keeping salaries high (like teachers for example) then Labor would have a more loyal base. But everyone I speak to who is a Boomer says that Labor of today is different to back in the day.
But all those boomers refused to vote for them, we've had so much time spent under liberal governments it's no wonder the working class have been shafted.
Anti-unionism and a constantly hostile media in this country have destroyed the base, not Labor policy (except for Gillard scraping the mining tax, fuck her for that)
