Albanese today announced plans to send a key bill back into the lower house, which could have major repercussions for Australians looking for a home. 9News
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has ruled out an early election in 2023 - but didn't rule out a double dissolution if the government's key housing bill stalls in the Senate for a second time.
One of the government's signature policies, the bill previously passed the House of Representatives but became bogged down in the Senate. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will bring his government's housing bill back to parliament next week.While the Coalition opposes it as wasteful, the Greens have also proved a roadblock, saying the bill doesn't offer enough.
And he put the onus for any double dissolution on the parties opposing the bill across the political spectrum - who he characterised as a "no-alition" of the Liberals, Nationals, Greens and One Nation. "This is a sensible reform that has the support of the housing industry, has the support of the building sector, has the support of community and social housing providers, has the support of and the welfare sector."
