The Greens are reportedly offering a 'politically realistic and popular' housing deal to the Albanese government in an apparent ploy to address their flatlining support.
The Greens are reportedly willing to strike a compromise deal with the Albanese government over housing policy after polls showed support for the minor party was approaching freefall.The Greens are reportedly offering a"politically realistic and popular" housing deal to the Albanese government in an apparent ploy to address their flatlining support.
However, according to The Australian, that could be about to change, with the Greens now saying they are willing to"compromise" on their demands and potentially vote in favour of the legislation. "We are deeply concerned that your government would rather let your housing bills fail than work with the Greens to negotiate a housing plan that takes immediate action fit for the scale of the crisis," the letter reads.
Those changes include removing a provision in the Help to Buy bill that required participants pay back the government's share of their house if their income exceeds the $90,000 for singles and $120,000 for couples, with the minor party urging the government not to penalise first-home buyers who experienced changing circumstances.
"The changes we are proposing to the build-to-rent bill will ensure the plan can deliver a higher number of genuinely affordable rental homes to low- and middle-income families, instead of letting developers set so-called 'affordable' rents far out of their reach," Mr Chandler-Mather said.
