CANBERRA

IT’S CALLED INTER-GENERATIONAL equity and it’s all the rage among the Labor Government’s elites in Canberra.

Having failed to convince people that depriving people of their hard-earned money to give it out to everyone else, the Albanese Government has decided to disguise it as a sort of premature inheritance, a social transfer from parentsand grandparents, to children and grandchildren, because that sounds better.

“Apparently because young people cannot buy a four-bed home with a swimming pool when they’re twenty two, this means that their parents and grandparents have taken all the nation’s wealth for themselves and they need to give it back,” explained money guru Max ToodeHylt. “The fact that the older generations worked their fucking butts off to get where they are, gave up vacations and discretionary spending, saved and saved and invested, that appears to count for nothing. The old envy at the bottom of much of what passes for socialism has kicked in. Basically, it’s you have it, we want it, give it to us. And there might be votes in it among the disgruntled younger cohort, who are so used to gratifying themselves in the present that they truly believe older groups in society, who have been here decades longer, and worked for what they have, have stolen their rightful inheritance. I think it’s called entitlement. And now it’s public policy.”
