Max Chandler-Mather on why the Greens blocked the housing fund

The government’s housing policy could be dead in the water.

On Monday, the Greens chose to block the legislation – by deferring the vote on the bill until October.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says the delay is the same as rejecting it, and he’s seeking urgent legal advice about whether this could be a trigger for a double dissolution of parliament – which could bring on an early election.

Today, Greens spokesperson on housing and homelessness Max Chandler-Mather, reveals why the Greens blocked the bill, the conversations with Labor behind the scenes and what he thinks could have won his party’s support.
