Stop blaming the baby boomers!

From Afternoons, 1:20 pm on 29 April 2019

Baby Boomers are described as those people born between 1946 and 1964. They're typically thought of as the wealthiest generation and, for that reason, have become somewhat of a punching bag for those in the generations that followed. 

That was particularly evident after it was announced the Capital Gains Tax wouldn't go ahead. Some who supported the tax blamed boomers for its demise. But is that fair? 

Journalist Branko Marcetic has written a piece on The Spinoff arguing we need to stop dividing ourselves among lines, even generational ones. He tells us why.
