"Young people just don't care about politics."

Every election, that line gets wheeled out to explain why so many young people aren't enrolled to vote, or turned off by the whole process.

(One million people are not on the electoral rolls - you have until May 23. Get on it. PSA over and out.)

But guess what, you've told us you DO care.

Quite a lot, actually.

Recently we surveyed over ten thousand 18 - 29 year olds on all sorts of things - from job satisfaction to sexual health (*ahem* we know how many of you have had an STI), to living with your parents and how much money you've got in the bank.

So of course, with election season kicking off, we had to ask you about politics.

69 per cent (LOL) are swinging voters. That is, you're not diehard fans of one political party and can be swayed to change your vote.

Political strategists across the country salivate over how to convince 'swingers' to vote their way. So your voice is important! And there's evidence to suggest that young people had a significant influence on the 2001, 2004, 2007 and 2010 elections.

At the time of this survey, over half had not yet decided who to vote for.

So what do you care about this election? Apparently, terrorism ...not so much.

We've got plenty more data where that came from.

We'll be using the triple j survey to inform our political coverage so we're focusing on the issues that matter to you.
