Millennials are the first generation to get more left-wing as they age, according to new reports. 

A study by the Australian National University has found the age group's support  for Australia's right-wing coalition fell between 2016 and 2025 -  from 38 percent to 21 percent.

Study Author Sarah Cameron says education and gender are playing a role. 

"It used to be that women were slightly further right, and then were slightly further left. Over time, that gender gap - it's reversed."
