Day 29 🗳️

“It’s the election billed as the battle between #Boomers and #Zoomers. By most estimates, it’s the first time #GenZ s and #Millennials outnumber their parents and grandparents as a voting bloc.

The parties have attempted to tailor their #SocialMedia pitches accordingly on issues that disproportionately affect #YoungPeople: the cost of living, HECS debts and housing. A tide of social media #memes, AI ads and several diss tracks have been met with varying levels of enthusiasm from their target audience.”

“For at least 20 years, #YoungPeople have been moving away from formal #politics – such as #joining a political #party or a #volunteering organisation – and towards “#IssueBased” politics, says Prof #PhilippaCollin from #WesternSydneyUniversity. Collin researches the role of the #internet in the #PoliticalLives of young people.

“It’s pretty common that it has been interpreted as young people not being interested or involved in #CivicEngagement or political #participation,” she says.”

“I want to help #YoungPeople and #FirstHomeBuyers achieve the dream of #HomeOwnership,” — #AnthonyAlbanese said.

#PeterDutton (#LNP / #Liberal) has announced a $10bn tax cut measure, which would give #Australians who earn up to $144,000 relief of up to $1,200 in the upcoming financial year.”

What a load of horse💩. Where is the strategy to industrialise the housing Industry to drive down costs and increase quality? <youtube.com/watchv=36I6jCrWTvQ>

Does #Labor want people to #buy or #rent? Where is this discussion? If not where is the plan to rollback (middle class #welfare) house investment & #NegativeGearing? Where is the talk of #EducationalDebt? Free TAFE for Tradies won’t solve these problems.

Dream on Labor.
Libs, $1200 dollars 😆🤭🤣🤣

#Schumer doesn't care about #YoungPeople or #OldPeople or any part of #America

Schumer cares only about the geriatric white men of the #DemocraticNationalCommittee and his world-class #HealthCare and his lifetime #Pension and his personal #NetWorth

Schumer is gliding down, hanging from his #GoldenParachute, descending into the #GoldenYears of his retirement

That's all that matters now

Temple University: Micro-influencers have a major influence on Generation Z. “Recently published in the Journal of Brand Strategy, ‘Tapping generation Z micro-influencers for marketing and branding’ outlines that the key to reaching Gen Zers may lie in the utilization of non-celebrity influencers, better known as micro-influencers.”
