Affordable housing will be one of the Greens top five priorities in the event of a hung parliament, with Adam Bandt sharpening the party’s policy focus ahead of polling day., Bandt said the environmental party – which has released a raft of policies over the last three years – would release a list of the five key policies it would pursue.
Bandt said that neither the Coalition nor Labor were talking about “the climate crisis, or the housing crisis”. “We will make the housing affordability crisis a priority in any balance of power discussions. As the most powerful third party in the next parliament, the Greens will be critical to getting things done, we will be needed for any legislation the Coalition opposes [if Labor wins power].
