David<p>Adam Bandt transformed the Greens from party of the Senate to a party that could win lower house seats.

Via #ABC #AUSTRALIA, Mar 16, 2025

#Greens leader #AdamBandt has urged the government to walk away from the #AUKUS pact with the #UnitedStates, describing the imposition of #steel and #aluminium #tariffs as a "wake-up call" to rethink Australia's relationship with its key ally.

It comes as #Trade Minister #DonFarrell said the challenge going forward is figuring out what US President Donald #Trump wants and to "make an offer he can't refuse".

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."
