Shoebridge Criticizes Labor's Housing Policy in First Interview as Greens Leader
Published
New Australian Greens leader David Shoebridge criticized Labor's housing policy in his first televised interview after taking over the party leadership on Wednesday. He said the policy had failed to improve the housing situation after three years, while acknowledging that it ultimately passed with Greens support. Questioned about cooperation with Labor, Shoebridge cited negotiations on privacy and data protections in digital-ID legislation. He also said putting the CFMEU into administration was probably appropriate, but criticized the legislative precedent and argued that an agreed administration would have been preferable.
