That's no longer possible today in terms of like that affordability.
And I think that housing was more like
you know, like it says on the box, it's a house, it's a home to live in for previous generations.
But obviously the changes to kind of the tax structure meant that it became a vehicle to make a whole lot of cash.
And like you can't blame people for like jumping on that bandwagon and like playing the hand that they were dealt.
But the fallout that we're seeing from it now is that like massive disadvantage to younger generations.
And that I think it's absolutely time for reform and to try and
you know, like it's come late, but better late than never in terms of trying to correct that.
I mean look we're obsessed with housing in Australia in a way that's kind of crazy but it means I mean something that I look at in the film is that housing is like charts and percentages and all these things that we see on the news but the impact is so much kind of more multifaceted in terms of the way that
it's like a really emotionally loaded thing.
Like it's so pivotal to having a good life, to like have a safe place to live.
And so, yeah, the film is more about the impact that this kind of housing crisis is having on the psyche of a generation more than it kind of being the fiscal kind of result of where we are now.
So it's like...
these millennials that kind of feel like failures.
And there's a lot of shame attached to that of kind of getting to a certain stage in life and being like, I just haven't hit those milestones and feeling like they've let their parents down.
Yeah.
Essentially, what does it do to you kind of like on more of a psychological level?
Yeah, look, it was like seeing lots of friends in this exact situation where they're being forced to move back in with their parents.
And then like, knowing that it's not ideal for either generation, it's always intended as a short stay.
And then it kind of extends because like, you think the world's going to get a little bit better and it just doesn't.
