The Australian dream rarely exists within young Australians now, most believe they will never have the means or financial security to own a home.
The cost of education is rising once more, reinforcing the age old notion that education is only for the wealthy. Those who manage to get an education then face a jobless future, with the ever growing retirement age ensuring that baby boomers remain (often unqualified) in quality jobs, leaving only the menial for the young, if they’re lucky. Women, making up half the population still do not have the same life chances as men. parliament has descended into nothing more than school yard bickering. Policy is written by accountants because money, not human capital - is the bottom line. Climate change, pollution, over population, peak oil, degradation of agricultural land and dwindling polluted water supplies continue to chip away at the quality of life for present and future generations.

I guess when an ignorant baby boomer calls my generation and those after mine “no hopers” they are getting one thing right, we have no hope.

Only the Liberals would think that this country with it’s triple-A credit rating, low unemployment, record low interest rates, low debt, and being the richest it’s ever been is an “emergency.” Boy are they going to “fix” all that.

I could say the same thing about the Labor party. They taxin’ errbody out there. hide yo wife. yo kids.

In the 101 top-grossing family films…from 1990 to 2004, of the over 4,000 characters in these films, 75% overall were male, 83% of characters in crowds were male, 83% of narrators were male, and 72% of speaking were male. When the American Psychological Association commented on this research, they said, ‘This gross under-representation of women or girls in films with family-friendly content reflects a missed opportunity to present a broad spectrum of girls and women in roles that are non-sexualised.’
