Both state and federal election will be surprising I think. I know several Labor/Greens supporters who are gobsmacked by these lockdowns because they work in areas where they see the detrimental effects on society's most vulnerable. My psychology sister-in-law for example! She would never vote the Liberal (conservative) Party - for her the party "brand" is toxic. But she's absolutely set on not voting for anyone who supports lockdowns. I also know many "ordinary" folk (not college educated, blue-collar workers) who early on were very supportive of lockdowns and the state Government, but it has genuinely taken its toll on them and they are now sharing anti-lockdown posts on Facebook. I don't know how they will vote because they also hate the Liberal Party. On the other side of politics, I know many life-long Liberal Party voters who for the first time will be voting for someone else. They believe the party has abandoned its values. I don't trust any of the polls. On our last federal election, even the exit polls were predicting a Labor Party win! So they couldn't even predict how people would vote by asking them after they had voted!
