A bitter dispute over housing policy has emerged between the Australian Labor government and the Greens, threatening to delay crucial legislation until the upcoming election. Both parties accuse each other of prioritizing political gain over the needs of Australians facing a severe housing crisis.
A bitter standoff over housing between the Labor government and the Greens threatens to drag on all the way to the election, with each party accusing the other of holding up progress and ignoring ordinary Australians living through a housing and rental crisis.
Labor countered that the Greens backed a shared equity scheme before the last election. “Why are they voting against their own policy?” Albanese asked on ABC radio on Wednesday.The government brought on a vote on its Help To Buy scheme in the Senate. The minor party has also withheld support on key legislation as it pushes the government for more progressive policies in recent negotiations on the Housing Australia Future Fund, and ongoing discussions about the environmental protection legislation and “nature positive” laws.The ongoing public arguments between the two parties could be viewed as Labor and the Greens seeking to win support from renters and first home buyers by criticising the policies of their opponent.
