I love how the fact that continuity pictures on old film productions were shot on Polaroid gives them the air of an afterparty that's got particularly out of hand

I'm saddened but unsurprised by Peter Dutton's budget reply.
We are a sophisticated, multicultural, modern Australia, something we ought to be proud of.
But Peter Dutton wants to take us back to a world of closed borders to cover up his government's nine years of inaction.

Make stuff up and chuck BS and hope some sticks, and try bashing migrants and unemployed people.
Just pathetic. They’ve learnt nothing from their wasted decade of failure. #auspol

In their electorates, Greens MPs are campaigning to stop new housing developments. In Canberra, they’re voting with Peter Dutton and Pauline Hanson to stop new housing funds.
If they really want more housing, they should work with Labor to pass legislation TODAY.

The Senate can deliver 30,000 social and affordable homes - including for women and children fleeing violence - in the first 5 years of the Housing Australia Future Fund.
We’ve addressed every crossbench concern, but some prefer the media spotlight over outcomes for Australians.

And now the Greens Party have just teamed up with the Libs, Nats & Hanson to delay urgent family law reform that would improve safety for women and children - on the heels of voting to delay our bill to boost funding for affordable housing.
Shameful.

Leaving the chamber after budget night after ensuring cost of living relief and strengthening Medicare is front and centre of our Budget.
This is when the real work begins to deliver for Aus families so we can have a stronger, more resilient economy in the future.

The greens are allergic to affordable housing. It’s how they police inclusion to the leafy little neighbourhoods they don’t want to share. We went through this in Victoria for years.
Affordable housing enables social and economic transformation. Blocking reveals much. #auspol

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The bill does not guarantee 30,000 houses will be built.
As per Clause 36 (p. 15), it would fund a maximum of $500m a year towards building grants - in 5 years, it will fund $2.5 billion in grants, or $83,333 per house if the goal of 30,000 houses are built.

A big win in the budget tonight!
$121 million to establish a National EPA.
LEAN campaigned for, and won a commitment to an EPA at the 2018 Labor National Conference. Now in government it is being delivered.

Labor’s commitment to building affordable housing is the single most powerful material opportunity young people and families have been offered in a generation.
No wonder absolutely *cuts sick* at the Green & Tories for their determination to block it. #auspol

The Albanese Government is investing $300 million to upgrade around 60,000 social housing properties. It’ll help create an energy system where no one is left behind, placing downward pressure on energy bills, and ensuring healthier homes for those who need it most.

No. It does not fix everything but it places the Labor government firmly into the corner of caring and trying to help. That’s all voters want. They don’t expect miracles but they do want and demand empathy.… Show more
