Young people: you’ll pay the most tax, own the least, live in worst housing, get the worst super returns, etc. Yet the political discourse is all about cutting welfare "handouts". The biggest handouts have always gone to wealth, inheritance, capital gains, housing. #intergenerationalfairness #auspol
