Abbie Chatfield has made a bold prediction about Australia's political future as voters prepare to head to the polls for the federal election on Saturday.
The outspoken TV and radio host, who is voting for the Greens, says she expects mainstream Australia will shift further towards the left in the next 15 years as older Liberal voters die off.
Speaking on her Instagram Stories after interviewing Greens leader Adam Bandt for the Hit Network on Thursday, Abbie noted that younger Liberal voters are few and far between these days.

And the 26-year-old said the young people who do intend to vote for Scott Morrison must 'lack empathy' or education.
'I really am thinking, or hoping, that in the next 10 or 15 years, as people who vote for the Liberal Party literally die out, and also metaphorically die out in they way they're thinking, I really do think that eventually our two-party system will be the Greens [on] the left and then Labor will be more like how we see the Liberal now,' she theorised.
She added: 'I just feel like there are so few people are young and educated who are voting Liberal.
'If you're voting Liberal and you're my age, there's something genuinely wrong. Either you're uneducated or you have no empathy.
'And weirdly have empathy for billionaires and huge companies, rather than people and the planet.'

Abbie went on to say she predicts - or hopes - the Liberal Party will simply 'die out' as its supporters get older and die themselves.
'[Then] it will be about Labor and the Greens, and then eventually it will progress more and more and more [to the left].'
The coalition and the opposition are leaving nothing to chance on the final day of the federal election campaign, as a new poll shows Labor could win government.
