Election run-up: IT’S ALL THEIR FAULT
It’s a terrible time to be young. Graduates are joining the dole queue as soon as they leave university, while their parents retire on cosy nest eggs. First time buyers are struggling to pay off mortgages on shoe boxes as their folks buy second homes abroad. And it is going to get worse.
