I graduated uni and got into a Graduate Project Officer role, being paid within the earnings band you just mentioned. I paid for my first house when I was 23. First home buyers are actually largely exempt from paying stamp duty. In addition, there is a grant (in WA, anyways) of up to $2,000 for FHB, additional to the regular FHB grant, that goes towards the cost of purchasing the house - settlement agent fees, etc. When it was all said and done, it cost me $300 to purchase that property - not exactly an amount that takes five years to save up.
Your anecdotal sob story doesn't add up.
Poor people are poor because they're bad with money. Not because the world is stacked against them
