Great, just in time to be reversed without having time to have any effect when the Liberals get in because the narrative that Labor hasn’t done anything on housing will be yelled and screeched about by the Murdoch propandists.
I get the Greens wanting more, but playing hardball in times like these when there is an obvious electorate sentiment has probably hurt both the Greens and Labor to the benefit of their political opponents.
They should’ve passed the legislation and pressed for more action immediately.
In another reality Adam Bandt could have been saying this, “We won’t stand in the way of Australians getting a better deal on their housing, but we will continue pushing for a better see deal for all Australians.”
Adam Bandts a good speaker anyway, like he needs my help on that! :p

The bill was only introduced in September, requires state/territory governments to pass their own legislation for it to operate in their jurisdiction, and has a roll-out of a maximum of 10,000 households per year.
If the concern is that it won’t have a significant impact before the next election, I don’t think we should lay all the blame on the Greens.
Personally, even if they had this scheme up and running already, I don’t think it’d make a measurable difference to the election. The Murdoch media will screech about whatever they want anyway, and people will vote largely based on their personal economic circumstances, which this bill could only have changed for 10,000 households or less, spread across the country.

Nah, certainly not. I think Albanese’s biggest failure, so far, was not having the next part of this parliaments story ready to go as soon as the referendum was over.
Within a few weeks of that he needed to define the next couple years on cost of living, in particular housing, and just lay into the opposition over these last two years for their decisions turning Australian housing into the safest and easiest investment available.
The way they’ve brushed off Keating’s opinions on AUKUS means they could have been doing the same for his part in deregulating the banks, which indirectly contributed to the issue with the Liberals suite of other policy decisions as well.
Albanese had the chance to be bold, but it seems history is going to view his first term as being bold on a referendum then losing his nerve to come back and try again.
Nah, certainly not. I think Albanese’s biggest failure, so far, was not having the next part of this parliaments story ready to go as soon as the referendum was over.
The fact that Labor hasn’t been constantly screeching about having to clean up 10 years of the LNPs mess is a good indication they have no idea how to run a campaign anyway.
