Wanna sell me your house for $60,000? that was the average housing price including inflation 1970 according to the treasury.

Sorry, I am not going below its value at $80,000. Cheesy

Yeah, me, alone, is going to stop billions of tonnes of CO2 pumped into the atmosphere

What about some of your whinger mates? Or don't you have any? You mean the 0.117%, the CO2 proportion, of GHG's. You are so funny.

Silly idea lowering the voting age to 16.

Why? The law says Raven can start f.ucking at 16.

If Raven is going to get f.ucked he might as well have a say at who's gonna f.uck him

Doesn't say Raven could f.uck the country as well.

You have never had mortgage rates over 18%.

What would you rather 18% interest rates from Jun 89 to March 90 & today's Australia, or an economy somewhere between Nth Korea & Somalia but 13.50 capped rates?

Wow when you see it's only a 4.5% difference it doesn't sound so bad, kind like 10.5 in May 96 & the 5% now.

Although as pointed out 1 medium wage could afford 18%, difficult yes but with sacrifice doable.

Imagine if rates went to 10.5 now.

were given free education and cheap housing and goods and then left the next generations a dying planet, the inability to own homes and the absolute flat out dominance of policy skewed to pandering to the older demographic.

What cheap housing? What dying planet? My son is a next generation and owns his own home, far more expensive than mine.

I never got free Uni

Neither did I. I was in the Army by the time Gough got in. It's his fault.

Kiron22 wrote on Nov 1^st, 2015 at 6:49pm:

we will be left with the effects of climate change

The climate has been changing since time immemorial. Anthropogenic CO2 is 0.117% of GHG's. Huge ain't it?

Kiron22 wrote on Nov 1^st, 2015 at 6:49pm:

chances are Gen Y/Post-Gen Y will likely never get access to their super, a lot can happen between now and 2050+

Yep, there could be another boom. Depressing, isn't it? You mean they are all going to die young, when Boomers, through study, have lifted life expectancies?

You won't clean up my mess. You are too busy crying into your cab-sav.

Housing was far cheaper in the past than it is now, cost of living has skyrocketed. Even if you yourself didn't get free education (but education until the 1990s basically cost pennies compared to now. Oh look climate change denial from the boomer that my generation will suffer for. No, there isn't a chance for another boom. Global profitability has been on a downward trend since post war era. Booms were largely based on resource sector which is already winding down, automation and AI will throw millions/billions out of work, Climate Change will essentially wipe out developing nations causing the biggest human migration in history (which is ALREADY HAPPENING, the Syrian Civil War started with an unusual after drought several poor crop seasons)

Wahhh "I worked since I was 15 how am I selfish" You and your generation are selfish because as a generation you have reaped the world for yourself then kicked everyone else down the stairs. You just need to look at the NBN to see how Boomers want to sabotage future generations because "Muh rates" fear mongering.

Again, you are leaving us with a dying planet. Thanks boomers, thanks for smacking up the entire planet then blocking any attempt to try mitigate it. We are so grateful.

Believe me when I say this from the whole of Gen Y, we will party when the last of your generation dies. I'm not saying this as just me, I've heard this sentiment echoed hundreds, thousands of times over the years.

And if there is any reason to give 16 year olds the vote, it still is, you Boomer f*cks outnumber us 3:1 in voting and actively screw us over every time.

Feeling is mutual. Your problem is not boomers, but YOU and your philosophy of failure and entitlement. Dump your failed communism and embrace hard work.
