New Hate Speech Laws To Ban Younger Australians From Referring To Negative Gearing As ‘Boomer Socialism’

As Australia's post-war wealth hoarders grow increasingly nervous about potential changes to the John Howard gravy train, new laws have been implemented in Queensland to calm their anxieties.

This comes as Treasurer Jim Chalmers flags changes to the Capital Gains Tax, which will ultimately make it a lot harder for the one million Australian baby boomers who think they are geniuses because they utilised tax incentives to snap up housing supply with the money they didn't need to spend on getting an education because university was also free.

The Boomer Boogeyman is also considering changes to negative gearing in the May budget, as it becomes clear that the have-nots are starting to outweigh the haves, and the vast majority of Australians under 40 are enslaved to these same grey-haired landlords.

This kind of political reform has not been touched since Bill Shorten proposed negative gearing reform in the lead up to the 2019 election, and subsequently had the entire Australian media infrastructure and every single property and banking lobbyist working hand-in-hand to ensure he lost to the most incompetent Prime Minister that the nation has ever had.

However, with Boomers no longer the biggest generational voting block, Jim Chalmers appears to be quite intent on tackling the unprecedented generational wealth inequality that Gen-Z and Millennials have been asked to cop on the chin because avocado toast is the problem.

But that doesn't mean this highly emotional political debate should descend into hate speech, with Younger Australians being firmly warned by state governments that it is now a crime to describe negative gearing as 'boomer socialism'.

The sweeping new hate speech laws banning certain expressions in a way that makes a member of the public feel menaced, harassed or offended have already passed in Queensland Parliament.

The state government made a last-minute change to the legislation to specifically ban the phrases  "boomer socialism" in reference to wealth-hoarding boomers who have destroyed social cohesion with their greed, as well as "couch wealth" to protect the feelings of their useless adult kids who are set to inherit these property portfolios.

The Queensland Premier said he was moved to ban the terms after being made aware that the vast majority of boomer landlords were enraged that they are being associated with the term 'socialism' - which they don't think should apply to them because they 'knew how to save' $50,000 for a quarter acre inner-city block in 1989.
