Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has upped the ante on housing spending, proposing a new $2 billion fund as the Greens block one of his party's key election promises.
The Prime Minister has announced more funding for social housing at the Victorian Labor conference on Saturday.
Australians on social housing wait lists are being promised a $2 billion new fund to help boost the number of homes in an announcement from the Albanese government. "The Greens imagine that their stubborn, inflexible refusal to compromise or negotiate serves their political interest.""The Greens have blocked more houses than they've ever built," Mr Albanese added.
"For them, every day is the end of days. These are the people who said energy bill relief for families and businesses was 'Venezuelan communism'."But state leaders have ruled out taking any action, arguing it would reduce the flow of supply and investment.
