The Albanese government’s housing agenda is ‘broad and ambitious’Treasurer Jim Chalmers says the Albanese government’s housing agenda is “broad and ambitious”. Mr Chalmers’ remarks come after Labor struck a deal with the Greens on the Housing Australia Future Fund to pass the bill through the Senate. The minor party has held out on providing their support to the government’s housing policy until their demands of stronger rental restrictions and an increase in annual housing spending were met, which led to a months-long stalemate within parliament. “So, the first part is to build more housing and get more supply so that we can address this longstanding challenge in our economy,” Mr Chalmers said during Question Time on Tuesday. “Our job, and we embrace this enthusiastically, is to work for Australia to continue to build new homes in our economy, in our communities, and we’ll keep doing that despite the negative and nasty and angry politics played by those opposite.”

Greens putting pressure and fighting back ‘against the Labor Party’Greens MP and Housing Spokesman Max Chandler-Mather says renters have “found their voice” because of Greens putting pressure and fighting back against the Labor Party. “There is $3 billion going out the door for public and community housing,” Mr Chandler-Mather said during a media conference on Monday. “Renters have found their voice as a result of Greens pressure and fighting back against the Labor Party and a government that wanted to ignore the one-third of this country who rents.” Mr Chandler-Mather said the government was 'refusing to spend a single extra dollar” on public and community housing. “Today, the Greens have secured an extra billion dollars for public and community housing in addition to the $2 billion we’ve secured by the social housing accelerator,” he said. “That means there will be thousands of people in this country, thousands of families, single mums, pensioners, people waiting decades for a public and community home, who will get to move into that home with a roof over their heads because the Greens stood up and fought. “That $3 billion would mean roofs over the heads for thousands of families waiting for a public or community home.”
