Fucking spot on and brilliantly written.

I'm one of the lucky millennials who could buy a home and start a family. Albeit in a rural area outside of a country town 3 hours from a capital city. There are major trade off's career, healthcare and services wise, but I am very fortunate.

And still the major parties offer us nothing.

I'd rather tafe be free, there not be a nuclear reactor built at lithgow, and get an urgent care clinic built at Bathurst of course. But once again both parties forget about the largest voting demographic and pander to boomers. And the greens these days (though they do get my vote) can't negotiate their way out of a wet paper bag and can't seem to get anything done other than oppose everything that's not 100% what they want.

I think gen y and z don't riot because we're exhausted. Burnt out. And don't think anyone would listen anyway.

Maybe it's about time we did. Not that we'll have time to when we're working second jobs with massive commutes.

Thank God for avocado toast.

Another incredible piece from our car poet. Car poet, carpet - see what I did there?
