I table an article by Max Chandler-Mather, published in the Jacobin magazine, in which he says:

Consequently, if the Greens were to wave through the HAFF bill, it would foreclose on the possibility of building the social and political pressure needed to force the government to take meaningful action.

and says further:

Allowing the HAFF to pass would demobilize the growing section of civil society that is justifiably angry about the degree of poverty and financial stress that exists in such a wealthy country.

and goes on to say:

While Parliament has debated the HAFF, the Greens have also launched a national door-knocking campaign targeted at Labor-held federal electorates.

This article exposes the political motive of the Greens political party and this member in opposing public housing. It makes it very clear. I'm very happy to table every word of it, and I'd encourage people in my electorate to read this because it's an example of why you should vote Labor and never vote Green.
