The honeymoon may be over for the Greens and the Australian Labor Party after Prime Minister Anthony Albanese launched a stinging attack on the left-wing party during question time in parliament on Thursday.

The prime minister and the Greens are currently at loggerheads over the federal government’s $10 billion (US$6.7 billion) affordable Housing Australia Future Fund (HAFF), which is a key election promise for the federal government.
