'A wall of red, representing swings to Labor, in wealthy northern and eastern electorates — and a wall of blue representing swings to the Coalition (and minor parties who preferenced the Coalition) in the working-class heartlands of the west and southwest.

The conventional wisdom in the wash up of the election is that Labor lost the election because it waged "class warfare" against the well-off — with policies that removed tax concessions and loopholes for landlords, wealthy retirees and high-income earners cited as examples of the "class war".
Labor "overplayed its hand on the class warfare stuff", former prime minister John Howard opined on election night.'
