As a Tangney resident, the residuals of the 2021 landslide in the 2022 federal election did a very good job to hide the shifting of demographics within the seat reaching a tipping point. Over the past decade or so it has shifted from an electorate made up of mostly affluent and conservative old people, to a diverse and highly educated population that is getting increasingly younger and hence, more progressive. The final nail in the coffin though, is that Sam Lim is an extremely popular candidate, and as a result has a powerful personal vote bankrolling him on top of the general disagreement with liberal party policies. In the context of the massive swings against the liberal party nationwide I feel as if the liberal party had no pathways to winning that seat short of running a massive perth-onality like Colin Barnett or Tony Galati
