As the fanfare erupted around Prime Minister at the official Coalition Campaign Launch in Brisbane over the weekend, he tells The Advocate that he resisted the urge to scream “I am Superman” at the top of his lungs.

Because just moments before, Scott Morrison had called on the nation’s young people to use their superannuation savings to prop up an already hyper-inflated property market that was created by and large by Liberal Party tax policy.

“Ask not what your super can do for you,” declared Morrison.

“But what your super can do for the property market.”

Under the Liberal Party plan, young people locked out of the property market due to a myriad of financial and family factors will be able to raid their super for their house deposit. When they go on to eventually sell their first property, they will get that money jammed back into their super, less the compound interest designed to make superannuation the chief retirement instrument in this country.

Morrison continued with a call-to-arms.

“Australia is facing unprecedented challenges, even more unprecedented than the previously unprecedented unprecedented events. One of them is the ageing population. We need to make sure that the Baby Boomers and/or their long-suffering parents exit the property market with as much money as possible. Because if they run out of money, they either become their kid’s problem or worse, the government’s,” he said.

“Which is why I’m calling on the young people of Australia to make one last sacrifice upon the high altar of property. To give the bulk of their super to some tired old cunt that looks like the end of a salami stick in exchange for their mouldy blond brick fuckhole in some dreadful suburb next to an airport,”

“The nation is counting on you. Those brave young Australians born in the wrong postcode.”

More to come.
