to the next election rather than bend to the demands for changes by the Greens, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has warned.
Mr Albanese indicated he was in no mood to haggle and would use any obstruction to campaign against the Greens all the way to the next election.“If people think that it’s a great idea to say that they support more investment in social housing, but not back a $10 billion fund that will build more social and affordable housing, then good luck having that argument,” he said.
