No shit, maybe you should help houses get built rather than work with the coalition then?

Labor’s Help to Buy shared equity scheme, and new tax measures to encourage more build-to-rent properties, are both stuck in the Senate, opposed by both the Greens and the Coalition.

Did you miss the news? The Greens have decided to allow those bills to pass.
But it’s Labor who should be blamed for the long delay. Their steadfast refusal to come to the negotiating table for months and insistence that it must be “their way or the highway” is very reminiscent of the Rudd years, when a Labor PM allowed his personal ego to get in the way of effective policy.

They can go fuck themselves to be honest, I cannot believe in a housing crisis the greens are the ones holding up housing of all people…

To turn into inner city NIMBY’s, I cannot believe it, seems neither can a few other people

I’m more interested in how they perform at the next election rather than labor or liberal, we know one of those two will get in (could be either way, inflation appears to be a standing government killer) but the greens is more interesting, will left wing progressives who love Gaza really have that big of an influence and gain them seats or will they finally become as relevant as one nation? I can’t wait to find out

Labor have dropped the ball on a few of their assumed voter bases, people concerned about Gaza/Lebanon/etc. is one and another sizable group will be unionists. The dodgy CFMEU administration has taken many Labor voters in my union by surprise, and in at least some of their rallies the speakers have called for voting for further-left parties, suggesting the Greens as an example.
Looking at NSW and Victoria council election results, I expect the Greens will gain votes and maybe even a seat or two, I doubt there will be drastic gains or losses.
