Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has lambasted the Australian Greens for taking a hardline stance on the Housing Affordability Future Fund (HAFF), which could result in a potential double dissolution showdown.

“For the Greens political party, this isn’t about the Australian people. This is about them. They want the issue, not the outcome. They deal in protests; we focus on progress,” the prime minister told Parliament on June 21.
