Well, you asked.
I'm still at a loss to understand how a suggestion that you participate in the Australian political process implies that you want "to remove voting rights for anyone".

But I'm sure you will enlighten me...

Hello,

I am looking for an area/region/suburb with no Baby Boomers. I know this is a practical impossibility, but less is better than more, especially when it comes to local government representation.

So, if you are a Boomer, are there places in Australia that really don't appeal to you? Are there particular reasons why you don't like those places? I'm looking for criteria I can apply to a suburb or region that will tell me if there will be many or few Boomers in the area.

If you live in a suburb/region with very few Boomers, do you have any theories on what keeps them away?

Interested in any and all thoughts/replies.
Yes, try any of the outburb baby factory suburbs, would suit you down to the ground, old cnts dont like them much due to the noise from babies squeeling, V8 Utes doing burnouts and all the sort of stuff you would like but us BB'ers dont. We also dont like them on account of all the antisocial behaviour that will happen in around 14 years time when the 14 year olds have fk all to do. Oops!, on second thoughts, they wont like Mr Gen X turning up, after all it was you that got cheap house prices a decade ago, a long run of boom and now gen Y has to take it up the arse on account of Mr Gen X having his fill of home equity and well paid jobs.

As long as you are in a minority, you can not, and will not ever wield any political power.


Haha, tell that to Gillard. Think the greens and independents might be proving you wrong at this very moment.

Most old cnts bought their houses for about two dollars in decent locations back in the 70s. :re:

When the crash comes I think you'll find most suburbs have a lot more anti social behaviour.

Decent locations now, not so much back then.

I'll add that to my criteria.

As for jobs and home equity, you really have no idea what you are talking about:
- GenX is the first generation for 100 years whose gross median income has DECLINED in real terms.
- GenX now pays (through a consumption tax) a higher percentage of their income in taxes for the same part of the life-cycle than any generation for 100 years.
This is a rough approximation of spending patterns over lifecycle
ABS Lifecycle Spending Patterns
Notice that couples with dependent children spend the greatest amount on CONSUMABLES, which are taxed by a CONSUMPTION TAX (GST).
Also notice that the GST was introduced just as the BB generation were moving out of the dependent children life-cycle and into the higher INCOME life-cycle. Also note that the GST was accompanied by 3 INCOME tax cuts.

In case you don't quite understand the above, tax collection increased on CONSUMPTION and decreased on INCOME when GenX consumption was increasing , and BB income was increasing. And when income increases, the super guarantee also increases (which is taxed at 15% not the marginal rate).
What occurred was a massive transfer of wealth from GenX to BB via the tax system, by the government, DELIBERATELY.

As for home equity, you only realize your equity when you sell.

Possibly, but I doubt it. If legislation is blocked in the upper house, or cannot get passed in the lower house, the sitting govt can always call a double dissolution. If they did that now you would have a majority government of the coalition (Lib/Nat). Or not. Maybe there really has been a change in AU politics and we no longer have a two party system.

Where did you do that, in relation to my original suggestion..?

But to answer your question, Macquarie Island is by its nature the temporary home to an isolated circle of grad and post-grad students. There might be an occasional GenX or Boomer there "hunting rabbits", but it's still, ah, fertile ground for your purposes.
You are right, I asked stinkbug about Thursday Island. My mistake, I apologise.

I think my research on Macquarie Island indicated that it is a research station and it is not possible to actually locate there. Is that wrong?

Although it did lead me to consider another island, Tasmania, which might be a good candidate if Boomers don't like to retire in cold climates and will all be heading for retirement villages on the Gold Coast.

Any Tasmanians here?

All is forgiven. And thanks for an interesting discussion.

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.

Forum Rules: The main forum may be used to discuss property, politics, economics and finance, precious metals, crypto currency, debt management, generational divides, climate change, sustainability, alternative energy, environmental topics, human rights or social justice issues, and other topics on a case by case basis.
