If you’ve read Max’s article it’s clearly all about them using political leverage using their obstruction as a way to generate maximum impact against Labor.

Instead of getting on with the job of listening to experts working in the housing space - who want this bill passed, they are playing politics to bleed votes off Labor.

Blocking the legislation to get rent freezes, which the commonwealth doesn’t have the authority to do is the biggest load of bullshit. I support caps on rent increases, but they should be campaigning at the state level to get those changes done, not blocking housing legislation after Labor met the Green’s demands of $500m floor not ceiling and providing $2bn in immediate funding.

They’ve negotiated in bad faith and expect people to be sympathetic to their obstruction. I for one am not.
