For example, the Liberal Party is the party of home ownership...

More like the party for people who already own homes. All of their policies have been geared towards increasing the value of existing housing stock, transferring as much wealth to existing home owners as possible. Some examples of policies for existing home owners are capital gains tax discounts, first home buyer grants (lol, hand tax payer dollars straight to established owners) negative gearing and mass immigration.

Millennials watched this kick in to gear when Howard got in and it's just been a giant f you to us from the major parties our whole adult lives.
