Left out the war on Baby Boomers that is part of this ad itself...... short-sighted and narrow minded in that regard... generally I like these ads, on the mark etc - but they missed there.

It's not Baby Boomers buying  their fifth investment property - it's business parasites.  Most Baby Boomers in retirement have the pension and little more.

Correct .... and even with my super I'll en up on the pension after I take out the currrent debt I still hold

because my children (young people) didn't do without anything ....

I too usually like these ads ... but blaming Boomers is bs.

Mothra also likes the comment that the indigenous youth suicide is blamed on inter-generational colonisation.

Never mind that youth suicide is rife across the whole national youth demographic.

 

Mortgage relief should be paid to everyone under a certain income.

Just extend the rent relief system to cover mortgage payments also. Simple.

that is a fact   we have shocking stats....and I am sorry! when especially govt depts single out Aboriginals  as if they are alone...

why cant we all be treated as AUSTRALIANS>. why aboriginals and the rest of us?...

it needs to stop somewhere....and it should be at the top.


I also notice we are separated when it comes to the no smoking ads put out..WHY?


dont we all die at the same rate from the same disease...???....

for crying outloud I think we do enough for this generation.....they make choices like we did.. and we did it without any help what so ever and whats more we never EXPECTED any help..

now all they have to do is CRY I cant AFFORD...

well bloody try going without like we had too.

My super will run out when I turn 78 if I keep up my current spending.

And I don't give a shite

I'll live comfortably spending as I will, from 62 through to 78 and not have a care in the world.

At 78 I will go over to the aged pension and suck the grubberment dry.

Screw am, I'm entitled, I worked, paid taxes and saved.

If things get tight, I'll simply take more out and get the grubberment pension earlier.

I own everything I have, including my home.
Have two new cars and don't owe a cent to anyone

I'll be happy to take the millennials taxes to live on, rejoicing in the knowledge that they won't ever, ever, ever get a pension, and I will.

Politics of division, cods - not sure if the unthinking is on the politics or the division... I seriously doubt government lackeys even know the difference...

No wonder Muslims, Aboriginals and women think they can demand and get their own set of laws etc.... government plays right into that kind of division and exclusion ....

They are a couple good lookin' gals.

I happen to be Gen-X, and I happen to agree that Baby Boomers have had it easy. Only the generation before the Boomers had it as tough as my group.

No it won't be hard, it will be soft-on material, 

50,000 Australians put their arses on the line in Vietnam. Over 500 died. Many injured. Where were you?

And I have had enough confrontational experience to qualify as having done my part for my country.

However, IF they own their own home and if they are on the Age Pension they get rebates on Rates, Electricity, Registration, cheap medications, Bulk Billing and a bunch of other stuff. They do not need to starve. 

On the other hand, IF they didn't go without when younger to buy a house and rented, they have nothing and the Age Pension will definitely NOT cover a decent living.

The moral of the story is:

Get a job
Save your money for a deposit on a house and go without all the "frills" and holidays to Bali
Buy what you can afford (i.e. a 1 bedroom apartment ... up grade later)
Pay off the Mortgage over 25 years
Keep working until retirement
Live Happily Ever After with the love of your life who you met when 20.

Baby Boomers: Good wages, plenty of jobs, cheap housing, safe societies. It is only migrants from non-white countries and aborigines of this Baby Boomer generation that had it more difficult than their contemporaries.

And I was not blaming other people.

UnSubRocky wrote on May 9^th, 2019 at 6:29pm:


You certainly were blaming other people ... a generation of people.

As for your below statement I'd say you actually wouldn't have a clue ... in fact it's bs.

What?! Not "all" of the generation?

are you trying to tell us you resent your demographic being represented by negative stereotypes?

So it's not the principle you object to, just who it gets to be applied to. Namely you and anyone like you ... and not Muslims, Aboriginal people, brown-skinned people, LGBTQ people, women, or any representative of any particular country, while we're at it.

Grap agrees. That makes two of you. Anyone else? Gordy? Setanta?

But i see my point sailed completely over your head.

Here's the point in discussion in full - hard to follow, is it?  Where is the mention of Muslims in isolation?

Nope, you're butthurt because your demographic was unfavourably represented.

Unbelievable coming form you, but there it is.

What's more, you do it all the time

You're beyond ridiculous.

How were you treated unequally by a gag that baby boomers are buying up all the real estate?

try raising a family with 17 percent interest rates and 12 percent unemployment. Then get back to us.

Australia has become so expensive that people can't afford children anymore.
Instead - couples just raise little white fluffy dogs and pet vehicles.

The Governments (both) love that women are out working and not staying home raising children - its good for 'their' Economic pockets.

Mainly drug dealer related. Knife to the throat. Getting shot at. Even getting shot. Police assuming that I am a potential serial killer during the time that Leonard Fraser was on the prowl. Treated with contempt by former high school teachers over relationship issues I had with them prior to graduation. Needing to fend for myself when they decide that the rumours about me need action to remedy the situation.

The things I have done for the country include routing the drug dealers in some areas. This lead to a downturn in crime for a while. But now other drug dealers have moved in to take their place. I have helped catch criminals who were hero-homicidalists, but unknown to the public until I figured them out. I have helped with psychological techniques to identify behaviours that have clued investigators into dealing with crimes that have stumped them. I saved the life of a soldier, back in the late 1990s, when schitt hit the fan around town. I prevented a few rapes of teenagers with diversionary tactics against the potential likely rapists. And I have been acknowledged by authorities that I have potentially saved the community $140 million dollars since 1995, in halting unnecessary expenditure with various ideas that have been implemented.

That is "confrontational experience" in both good and bad examples.

You have basically agreed with me. That was my argument. Indigenous Australians and non-white migrants born in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s and living in Australia have had it much harder growing up compared to their white Australian counterparts. Indigenous Australians born in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, have had it relatively easy compared to my generation.

Non-white migrants and non-white Australian born people have had some degree of discrimination. However the Generation X/Y and Millenials have it relatively equal with white Generation X/Y and Millenials.
