Considering the massive, once in a generation, second-term swing to the incumbent government I’d say we’ve seen a massive repudiation of those culture war talking points. Obviously that wasn’t the only causal factor in these results, but it’s worth noting Morrison tried some anti-trans stuff in 2022 as well and look where that got him. I think the Australian voting public is smarter than to fall for that sort of rhetoric. Mandatory voting also helps because the more disinterested voters still have to make a decision, and I think most people believe in a fair go.
