"my 24 year old son was one of them.

simply voted against the major parties and liked some of the 'public speak' from the greens."

That's the biggest problem with voting today IMO. They voted for "Greens" thinking they'd make a difference and didn't even understand that the preferences went to Labour.

I read one guy in the paper who said something like "I can't stand Labour's policies in relation to aboriginal rights(He was an aboriginal himself) and so instead I voted for the Greens!!!"

The voting system is whacked and young people don't understand it properly. IMO.
