Aren't all unions one though ie cmfeu? Excuse ignorance us right wingers aren't across all the factions

They're completely separate entities. They share the same goals, safe workplaces, workers rights etc, and often work together, but the ETU represents sparkies, the cfmeu is the largest union because they represent plasterers, chippies etc etc

So who do they tell you to vote for?

Whoever best represents their members interests at the time. No different to any other person voting for what suits them best.

Last election I'm pretty sure they didn't give us any voting advice other than informing us of Tony Abbott's intention to rape us

See joe hockey gettin hammered for saying you need a good paying job to get a house.. Lefties will jump on everything but what is actually wrong with that statement? I mean if your flipping burgers at McDonald's guess what toorak might be out of reach. Suck it up.

All these gen x / y are too busy lookin for a handout or a shortcut and got told they were so great for to long (even though they couldn't get a kick in a stampede) they can't hack the real world.

People never want to be told they can't do something / don't have the right to, even if they know deep down they will never be able to.

It could be the right to eat shit, if you take it away from the people they will be pissed.

It's also easier to tell people they are wrong than it is to prove them wrong.

Yeah I just can't believe the whinging I mean pull your finger out make something of your life while they sit there whinging literally hundreds of thousands of people around them are achieving what they proclaim to be impossible

I'd like to blame idealistic freshman uni students having an opinion on something that doesn't affect them yet

Well I had a bloody hard time securing a shoebox of a townhouse on a fifo-wage. Although I was looking for inner-city suburbs.

But i can't afford a house on my maccas wage... Me as a 23 year old. This is why it is up to the government to help us.

Also because i'm having a child i demand payments that help with daycare and living costs. It is my right as an Australian to have this paid for. It is also my partners right to not work (even when the kid is at school) so she can be home helping said child. The government should pay us money so we can live this lifestyle.

f**k all you baby boomers that think you are better than us, you are the reason housing isn't affordable. Everything was given to you!

Oh also i can't afford a house next to the city as a 23 year old. Therefore there is a housing affordability issue.

Yeh but you accepted the fact you'd only get so much for your budget rather than bemoan it doesn't have a pool and a 12 car garage

I blame arts students bunch of idealist wankers

I'm aiming for a pool and 12 car garage...but moving to the country to get that.

It's all impatience and wanting now rather than waiting.

Sure it's characteristic of the latest generation of 20 somethings, but they aren't all to blame. They developed that mindset from the environment they grew up in. They were raised by the generation who spoiled them and invented participation awards for fking up. The age of the internet also brought with it shorter waiting times and attention spans for everything - instant information, fast delivery of cheap goods with online shopping, cheaper goods and services, digital products that the generation before them didn't have access to and therefore couldn't blow their money on. Cost of living to average wage factor has also gone up over the years I believe.

It's worse than just wanting the best housing as fast as possible with little work input; it's part of a greater trend and you can't just blame the kids when their parents raised them with these bullshit ideals. Though I do really wanna hit some of these kids in the face.

But but I need some form of validation that the deal was indeed a good one & that it will forever be a bargain regardless of changing market & supply/demand. Haha
