Housing bill explained: What’s at the heart of the bitter standoff between Labor, Greens and Coalition?

Abstract

Anthony Albanese has not ruled out a double dissolution to get a key piece of legislation – Help to Buy – through the deadlocked Senate.

A bitter standoff over housing between the Labor government and the Greens threatens to drag on all the way to the election, with each party accusing the other of holding up progress and ignoring ordinary Australians living through a housing and rental crisis.

This explainer from The Guardian looks at the legislation and the stances of the different parties.
