Any reason the greens do so well in Albury, especially compared to the rest of the seat.
@ North East Younger Demographic due to University in Albury
@North East – this was stated on the Farrer 2022 thread, but in short, a lot of regional cities like Albury have undergone their own gentrification and densification in recent years. There’s a lot of young, progressive voters in the CBDs of some regional cities like Toowoomba, Wagga Wagga, Armidale and Albury have decent Green votes in the inner-city booths there. Furthermore, there is a Charles Sturt University campus in Albury, which would likely have a lot of students staying in inner Albury as presumably house and apartment prices would be cheaper. I suggest the Farrer 2022 thread would be a lot more detailed though.
Another example (which I’ve mentioned) is Armidale, where some of the polling-day booths vote Labor on the 2PP and some of them actually voted Yes in the Voice referendum (Armidale, Armidale South, Madgwick). That’s thanks to the UNE campus located near the inner city which has likely brought younger and more progressive voters into the inner city.
There was also a bit of a novelty factor to the Greens candidate in 2022. He was a local 18 year old Albury High School student.
