It’s difficult to continue to support the Greens party when they’re obstructing the passing of good policies.
Labor’s proposals to assist people into home ownership would help 50,000 families own their own home. It may not be perfect but assisting 100,000 plus people into secure housing is very worthwhile. Instead of supporting the proposal the Greens are making outrageous demands like asking the government to force the Reserve Bank to change interest rates. That request is not only impossible but also goes directly against the principle of separating politics and finance.
This current debacle echoes the Green’s blocking of carbon tax in 2009 because they demanded a higher tax. Instead we got nothing and Australian companies continued to pollute without restriction or incentive to reduce.
A third party keeping the big two in check is a great idea IF that party can keep a firm grip on reality and promote good outcomes. That doesn’t appear to be the case with the Greens at present.
