Then this dude's gotta be one a your lot surely? - 'N he seems ta be noisy enuff:
Hmmmm ... maybe, but the timeline doesn't really match up

A former Commonwealth Treasury official, he has reported economics for the ABC and then for Fairfax Media since 1985
So even if he started work as a graduate in 85, subtract a 3 year degree makes 82, then subtract another 18 years makes 64. So, possibly GenX, or another cusper.
But here, isn't this ironic, a Baby Boomer pulling random unsubstantiated shit out of their arse and a GenXer doing the actual research to verify or refute. Sounds like my entire working life.

As in providin' one ain't a Gen X Melbournian or Sydneyite wot f***ed up 'n didn't buy a home sometime in their late twenties ta early thirties, then life's probably gotta be just about as peaches 'n cream for 'em as for any other generation I know of in tha history of this country?
Yes, graduating into the "recession we had to have" really gave us a leg up. What was the unemployment rate when you were in your 20s? Was it 11%?

Yeah, well, I employ capable, competent and productive people, so that pretty much eliminates boomers and Ys, unless they were born and educated overseas to roughly year 9.
Anyway, only 24hrs of unabashed trolling before NY resolution kicks in, so lets hope you are around tommorrow.

The town I was living in, unemployment actually hit hardest in 88, three years before Sydney and Melbourne were "in recession". Got my first job and it taught me that if you can create something that allows businesses to produce more with less employees (being the highest cost to Australian businesses), you will always be employed, even in the deepest recession. That and that recessions are good business for pubs.

Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.
