What a night. 🙌
Yesterday we brought together a brilliant panel to dig into Generation Trapped — CIS research exploring what young Australians aged 18–34 really want out of life, and why so many feel like it's slipping out of reach.
The answer might surprise you: young Australians want exactly what their parents and grandparents wanted. A home. A family. A stable income. Work that means something. But fewer than 4 in 10 believe they can actually overcome the barriers standing between them and those goals.
Huge thanks to Parnell Palme McGuinness, Jacqui Munro, and Jack Tossol for a conversation that was honest, sharp, and genuinely important.
