Why The Indian Vote Matters
Immigration - This new generation of Indo-Pacific migrants tends to be aspirational and transactional and hence more right-wing in the choices they make concerning private education and private health insurance.

It's no wonder Australian politicians are starting to obsess about the Indian vote. The Indians are coming, alright. They're settling in Labor electorates. And the growth in their numbers is huge, by Australian historical standards.

Trends In Demographics And The Impact On Your School.
I did a little podcast recently with Brad Entwistle, founding partner of Imageseven, entitled 'How Demographics Will Shape Your School'.

The podcast outlines the current and future trends impacting enrolments, including slowing population growth, evolving migration patterns and family dynamics. I ran into Brad at the AHISA conference in Canberra earlier this year, and I was impressed with the potential of his company to take Education Geographics school platform and put in into practical effect for school leadership teams.

We’ve just finished some preliminary charts and an online map (see map link on the first page) on the 2025 results based on the early counts. We will update with the final primary and 2PP results in a week or so.

It was a really interesting result, in terms of the preference allocations to the two traditional major parties, following a collapse in the primary Coalition vote over the last week or so for Peter Dutton. In the final days, voters were just scrambling for anyone else to vote for really (apart from the Trumpet of Patriots) and their preferences invariably favoured Labor.
