While the older generation have enjoyed free university education & massive tax free capital gains, things like Super Gold card freebees & Superannuation, plus having stuffed the environment & climate, they've got huge student debt, locked out of the housing market, facing a climate crisis etc.

Hipkin's announcement today of ruling out any Capital Gains or Wealth tax, & National's raising the age of Superannuation & re-igniting the housing investor market & protecting landlords is only going to exacerbate this trend.
Young people voted for the Greens ‘in droves’ at the last election. The idealistic youth vote always swings Left.
