Bernard Salt AM is: an author, "demographer," and since 2002 a regular columnist with The Australian newspaper. Between 2011. And 2019 he was an adjunct professor at Curtin University Business School. And holds a Master of Arts from Monash University.
A column in the Weekend Australian in 2016 earned him international reputation for supposedly blaming discretionary spending on brunch food as a factor behind declining home ownership among millennials. The column created a furore on social media, "and sparked further debate on intergenerational housing affordability in Australia." The phrase "smashed avo" has since become a recurring meme in Australia, and has been repeated overseas.
Bernard Salt was awarded the Member of the Order of Australia (AM) in the 2017 Australia Day Honours. He was a partner of KPMG until his retirement in June 2017, and still acts as a special advisor——to the "firm."
