Have to hand it to "The Human Headline" and now Justice Party senator Derryn Hinch, for declaring that:
Good on you Derryn; recipient of a new liver due to your drunken excess and now tax payer funded for life.
A life as a highly paid media identity (lunching so often it destroyed your liver) hardly qualifies one to berate the young who merely aspire to that which their parents have.
I'm sick to death of the oldies (my peers mostly) who moan about 18% interest back in the bad old days! "Tell 'em they're dreaming!" I lived through that too and it was not hard at all.
I'm unfortunate enough to live in Sydney and as soon as my daughters finish school, I'm out of here.
To have a seventeen year old girl lament to me that she can never afford to live in the humble place she was born is appalling.
The social divide is only worsening, and quite frankly, nothing about capital city living is appealing (particularly Sydney).
Every new immigrant comes to live in a new or existing ghetto, and they all claim to be fully qualified tradesmen at the age of twenty.
Fortunately, I have been able to hold the wolves at bay from my mother's door, who regularly approach an eighty-five year old woman seeking first offer on her home once she departs this earth.
What has it come to? Property developers stealing our children's right to a home of their own.
Here endeth the rant (it has to be a Sydney thing).
Quote:"Earlier this week the Australian Bureau of Statistics revealed the typical Australian was a 38-year-old woman living with her husband and two children in a three-bedroom house with a mortgage.
But the typical politician, according to Buzzfeed, was a married 51-year-old father of two, who owned two homes and was called Andrew.
