The prime minister once professed “I like fighting Tories, it’s what I do” but, make no mistake, the Greens annoy him even more. He loathes them.
Wilson, who lost his hitherto safe Victorian seat of Goldstein to teal independent Zoe Daniel in 2022, warned two years earlier that the declining rate of home ownership posed an existential threat to the Liberal Party.Alex Ellinghausencited Australian Electoral Survey data which showed a strong correlation between property ownership and voting trends.
“There is no intergenerational justice in such preferential arrangements, and it means those seeking opportunity have to carry a higher share of the burden in direct tax today or future repayments on debt tomorrow.” “As the pencil in their hand hovers over a Coalition candidate, we want the sound of jingling house keys to resonate in their minds.”
This week, the passive-aggressive tensions that have been building for years between Labor and the Greens finally erupted over the Greens’ ongoing refusal to pass the $10 billion Housing Australia Future Fund, Even Chandler-Mather’s colleagues acknowledge that for the Greens, the HAFF is more about the fight than the outcome.While contending refusal to pass the HAFF Bill was “the only immediate leverage” the Greens had to force action on rents, Chandler-Mather said “just as important, this parliamentary conflict helps create space for a broader campaign in civil society”.
“It is easy being Green,” he said as he lambasted the party for its populist, simplistic policy demands it can make with no risk whatsoever of ever having to deliver them.There is a school of thought in Labor that the Greens overreached his week by demanding more, rather than claim the $2 billion injection as a win and passing the bill.
