Episode description

The Liberal Party is trying to resurrect its popularity after a devastating loss this year, under the leadership of Scott Morrison.

But can changing the personalities at the top of the party make a difference? Or is there something deeper behind the decline in its fortunes? 

A study published yesterday indicates that only one in four voters under the age of 40 voted for the Coalition – and that seems unlikely to change.

Today, national correspondent for The Saturday Paper Mike Seccombe, on how this generation of younger voters is changing the assumptions we’ve had about the electorate and why all the major parties need to adapt.
