I haven't created the lazy generation. Our sons work 12 hour days. One of them has been running a company employing 50 people for years and he is only 31 now. I suspect he pays more tax than you earn. As for fruit picking you admit it is a hard, lowly paid job which you are too smart to do but you expect other Australians to jump at the chance. Just a hypocrite plain and simple. No one can be a fruit picker and qualify to borrow money for a car let alone a house. It is itinerant work which backpackers do for a short period before they go back to their careers. Have some common sense.
