Class is inherently intergenerational, though not solely so (there are ‘nouveau riche’ as well). But a specific generation will never be conceived of as a ‘class’. So, I disagree with you here, because it is very much a class war between those in power and with wealth and those without either regardles of generational labels.

Norway has a $3.2 trillion sovereign wealth fund — more than $500k per citizen — built on a 78% petroleum tax and the simple principle that resources belong to the public. Australia had a mining boom too. We got a baby bonus, some tax cuts, and a prime minister knifed by a $22 million industry ad campaign. The PRRT now collects less revenue than the beer tax. Less. Than. Beer. Albanese has ruled out any gas export tax changes, of course. Because why would we want Norway's problem of being obscenely wealthy?
I'm gonna start with saying a vote for the ALP, LNP, or One Nation is a vote for poking yourself in the eye with a stick.
If you accept that, then let me say the Redbridge poll last Nov had:
1. Boomers were 87% voting for those parties
2. Gen-X were 79% voting for those parties
3. Gen-Z were 64% voting for those parties
Like, objectively, the Boomers are the worst here.
But also, the majority of Australian society is trash too.
