Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has scolded the Australian Greens, the federal government’s chosen partner in the senate, for failing to support the government’s $10 billion (US$6.7 billion) affordable housing bill.
The Housing Australia Future Fund was a key election promise by Labor and is billed as being able to finance the construction of 30,000 homes over five years for vulnerable Australians. Federal Housing Minister Julie Collins has previously warned many Australians are at risk of homelessness and needed the policy up and running sooner rather than later.
