The failure of #HAFF was predictable and predicted (by me anyway). A typical Grattan exercise in trying to deliver policy outcomes without actually spending any money out of the budget

I'm sorry Cathy but that statement is wrong. The #Greens worked with the #Labor govt to improve the #HAFF to include extra money for #SocialHousing. I can find the details if you are particularly interested. Also, what the #Greens have currently done is to delay a vote on the shared equity in housing bill to allow the #Labor govt more time to consider negotiating a better solution. As you can see below, #AdamBandt is happy with the community feedback so far.
"in fact, it’s exasperatingly familiar to anyone who followed the Housing Australia Future Fund (HAFF) standoff (sub out former housing minister Julie Collins for replacement Clare O’Neil, though it’s clear Albanese plays a driving role). After several excruciating months, Labor gave a few inches, insisting it had nothing to do with Greens demands, at which point the minor party agreed to pass the bill."

TIL that Albanese's Housing Australia Future Fund #HAFF has yet to build a single house or even (AFAICT) approve a project. If Labor had just spent $500m/year directly out of the budget, instead of this byzantine shuffle to keep the project off-budget, we could have had 000s of houses built by now

#Mandate theory explains why #Albo messed up the #Voice referendum. Albanese genuinely believes that having a majority in the House of Representatives implies that the majority of people have endorsed Labor's policies, and that they will therefore reject anyone who doesn't go along.
Hence, he assumed Dutton would have no choice but to support Voice. Similar story with Greens and #HAFF. Disastrous miscalculation in both cases #auspol

The #HAFF was Albanese #Labor's biggest single program, spending $500 million a year. The Greens extracted $3 billion more over (I think) 3 years, tripling the size of the program https://insidestory.org.au/two-cheers-for-the-haff/ #auspol

I reckon there's an opportunity to save the #HAFF here: dictate that the HAFF is the primary investor in this shared-capital scheme, buying houses with first home buyers.
This would mean HAFF can directly invest in housing (what the Greens want) and be speculative (what the ALP wants).

CW: #auspol #gloom
Hard to describe how depressed I am feeling about #auspol right now.
The #VoiceReferendum was always going to be a longshot because referendums usually fail. But #Albo's refusal to put forward a model, and the promotion of someone as abrasive as Noel Pearson as a leading advocate have ensured a defeat so bad that the fallback of option of a legislated Voice is unlikely.
In economic terms, Australians will be worse off by the next election than when Labor was elected - lower real wages, higher unemployment, higher interest rates, a more regressive tax system.
The fact things would have been even worse under the #LNP doesn't cheer me up
And just to make the picture complete, the #Greens are overplaying their hand on housing. Should let #HAFF through now, and pocket a win with the $2 billion.

CW: politics, auspol
VanBadham here openly lying, knowing the Greens set a date specifically in October after trying to bring Labor to the table again and again, including adjusting their demands from $5b down to $2.5b.
VanBadham erasing one of the few positives of the Labor Gillard era in tackling climate change with the support of the Greens.
VanBadham continuing supporting the party that opened offshore refugee concentration camps, also a Gillard era policy.
Fucking tired of these Labor hacks, and I'm hoping others see their lies for what they are. #auspol #HAFF
