Great, just in time to be reversed without having time to have any effect when the Liberals get in
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.

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.
Eh, maybe they do, but the media wouldn’t broadcast it. Or start criticising Labor for not taking responsibility for leadership of the country themselves. Maybe a more media savvy person will know if theres a generally acknowledged time period, but the media only put up with new governments blaming the last for a short period. Maybe 1 year?
Labor knows this, and rather than have to explain how government and indeed institutional development works to each journalist, they let the ego’s of the journalists, and their ‘mystical’ knowledge of their readers/viewers interests dictate when that response has run its course.
