A party systematically alienating everyone under 40, trapped between housing policies that create permanent renters and climate policies that deny reality.
The Moderate Trap
Sold home ownership while implementing negative gearing that makes it impossible. Young Australians now rent forever, with nothing to “conserve”. No assets = no reason to vote Liberal.
The Conservative Trap
Deny climate change while Australia burns. Promise to scrap $136.9B in renewable investments and keep coal alive. Anti-science and anti-economics in one package.

The Ultimate Irony
Both factions claim to be protecting Australia’s future. Moderates protect property values while destroying the possibility of property ownership. Conservatives protect traditional industries while ensuring Australia misses the greatest economic transition since the Industrial Revolution.
Together, they’ve created a political movement with nothing to offer anyone under forty – and no path to redemption that wouldn’t destroy the party itself. The doom loop spins on, each election bringing new evidence that the Liberal Party has become a retirement home for ideas that died decades ago, staffed by politicians who can’t understand why young Australians refuse to buy what they’re selling – mostly because they’ve made it impossible for them to buy anything at all.
