God I hope Mad Albo goes ahead with this:
Anthony Albanese will use next week’s resumption of Parliament to give the government the option of an early, double dissolution election, using as the trigger the stymied legislation for his $10 billion affordable housing fund.
With the Greens and the Coalition teaming up in the Senate in June to refuse to pass the bill, the government needs the Greens and Coalition to repeat the refusal a second time, with a minium period of three months in between, to create the trigger for a double dissolution.
Albo’s $10 billion affordable housing fund is worse than a bad joke. It’s not even a fig leaf for his ribald destruction of youth and vulnerable people’s housing access via mass immigration.
To turn such a paltry policy into a trigger for an early election would be a priceless gift to those seeking to bring Albo down.
The housing and immigration cards would be thrown into the air amid deep resentment in the polity.
All kinds of outcomes would become possible.
