Ah, a fellow Aussie. I would contend that it's far more than just "baby boomers vote Liberal".
The core issue is that all of the mainstream media is corporate-aligned and constantly bashing Labor and unions, with only milk-toast "criticisms" of the Liberal Government to maintain "neutrality". There's also a massive amount of scare campaigns targeted at immigrants that "Labor will cancel your visas!" (which is what the Liberal government is doing right now and are just projecting).
It's a modern form of propaganda, and it's ludicrously effective. Combine that with an overwhelming amount of political apathy (ordinary people don't feel politicians represent them anymore) and the result is obvious.
Let's not forget that those same baby boomers voted in Whitlam, Hawke, and Keating.
