Greens putting pressure and fighting back ‘against the Labor Party’Greens MP and Housing Spokesman Max Chandler-Mather says renters have “found their voice” because of Greens putting pressure and fighting back against the Labor Party. “There is $3 billion going out the door for public and community housing,” Mr Chandler-Mather said during a media conference on Monday. “Renters have found their voice as a result of Greens pressure and fighting back against the Labor Party and a government that wanted to ignore the one-third of this country who rents.” Mr Chandler-Mather said the government was 'refusing to spend a single extra dollar” on public and community housing. “Today, the Greens have secured an extra billion dollars for public and community housing in addition to the $2 billion we’ve secured by the social housing accelerator,” he said. “That means there will be thousands of people in this country, thousands of families, single mums, pensioners, people waiting decades for a public and community home, who will get to move into that home with a roof over their heads because the Greens stood up and fought. “That $3 billion would mean roofs over the heads for thousands of families waiting for a public or community home.”
