“Get a good job that pays good money’ is the advice Joe Hockey has for young people who want to buy a house.
Everyone stop what they’re doing.
Joe Hockey has the answer to your financial woes, and it is actually quite simple.
The answer is…. *drumroll*….
“Get a good job that pays good money.”
Yep, that’s it.
Don’t worry about following your dreams, abiding by the law or working to your qualification (or lack of one) — just get a job already, you lazy sods.
Unsurprisingly, Mr Hockey is facing a bit of backlash from the youth of Australia.
Overnight, the hashtag #AdviceForJoe emerged on Twitter — with Australians hitting back at their out-of-touch representative.
More have taken offence at Hockey using tax-payer funds to rent his wife’s house.
But most people are just dumbfounded that he is so utterly clueless.
Proceed with caution, Joe, or this could be your fate…

The reality is that if more people got better jobs (and I'm not sure how everyone is supposed to do that at the same time), then more people would be competing for housing and prices would rise until they were out of reach of most people - especially while there are still substantial tax incentives for investment buyers.
Well, yeah... this from the man who held up Uber as an example of a successful business model.
