The concept of fairness and justice for all is a long held Australia value, the notion of equal opportunity for all is accepted as normal. The current generation of younger working people is expected to provide for those who now cannot work, and fully provide for themselves, those referred to as the older "retired" generation. By providing for others in this way, younger Australians have an expectation that through their hard work they too will not only accumulate assets such as a family home, free of debt like many of today's retired generation have done, some owning several properties as investments as well, they will also be supported by future generations when a time comes that they are unable to fully support themselves.

Unfortunately many young Australians believe they are unfairly carrying the burden for the older generation, and will never have the same opportunities, such as secure home ownership, in a comfortable retirement with very generous pensions and benefits that the older generation is now enjoying at their expense.

Can't blame them when the numbers show they are stuffed. Can't buy a home even on two wage packets and left paying for boomers third or tenth mortgage in some mouldy slum for 800 bucks a week. Just go towards the light the me generation. Your selfishness and lack of care have screwed the whole planet and it is your grandchildren and their grandchildren who will suffer. May they curse your names.

Please don't assume that older retired Australians are a total waste of space.
I am well in to my advanced years, but the last ten years, at least, have been hectic.
A frantic scramble to get things done.
I have spent them giving practical help to those neighbours who needed it.
Everything from mowing lawns to being transport for them.
And done this on a regular basis.
And even baby-sitting for an extended time.
Perhaps I have not contributed as much as a younger person might.
But I have certainly put in the effort.
I don't think I have been a waste of space.

The left constantly talks about unity and how important it is. It constantly tells us that diversity is our strength.

But its game plan is to divide the society into competing groups which it can then play off against each other for their, the left's, electoral advantage.

Right v left.
Rich v. poor
City v. bush
Business v. consumer
Jew v. Muhammadian
Aboriginal v. White
Immigrant v. Australian-born

and now... old v. young.

Championing this made-up claim of intergenerational inequity is just another way of saying to one group that you've been disadvantaged and we are your saviours so vote for us.

But they do nothing for these supposed disadvantaged. They claimed they'd build 1.2 million houses - not going to get within cooee of that. They gave money to first home buyers. All they did was increase the prices of houses to the benefit of those who already owned a home. They gave stamp duty relief...same result ie increases in home prices.

The things that would actually help those who allegedly suffer intergenerational inequity such as reducing immigration or reducing building regulations are not going to happen. So they throw sand in the eyes of the electorate to try to maintain support of the supposed disadvantaged. And it works

I have three kids in their 30s. All have their own home. All their friends have their own home. The claims about the young generation being unable to buy into the housing market are overblown and are aimed at the cohort who expect the government to provide everything for them.

Hi Trumpster,

"I (Trumpster) have three kids in their 30s. All have their own home. All their friends have their own home."

Realistically, being in a Super Max Prison cannot be considered as having your own home. Nor is it feasible to house all 27 million Australian in jails, then claim they all have a home! As the family Godfather you might think that way. How is Uncle Al doing in Alcatraz, that tax fraud charge was a bum rap, don't you agree?

Maybe Magoo can have a go at decolonisation like South Africa did? That's been working well.
