They can go fuck themselves to be honest, I cannot believe in a housing crisis the greens are the ones holding up housing of all people...
I worry that a lot of people will feel the same.
Do you think if the greens just waved through the haff as-is, we would have gotten $2B extra for public housing? This funding only came after the Greens blocked the haff with extra funding a demand (though I know Labor take all the credit for it).
This is how independents and minor parties work, they can't pass their own bills so they have to negotiate by holding government bills up.
I already said Labor would like credit for the $2B.
So on one hand the Greens should get out of the way and pass Labor's policies on housing, but also they shouldn't pass this because it's not good enough. I recall the help to buy scheme at least was assessed by the Australia Institute to make literally no difference because of the scale.
Ok champ.
