Anyone surprised?
In the meantime, The Greens want to “drive a hard bargain with Labor before committing to pass the measures through parliament”… and say “the changes for property investment were little more than “tinkering around the edges” and as much as 95% of the benefits of the existing rules would remain”.
Though I understand the point you make, the Greens have been able to get better deals by pushing the govt. Sometimes they have not succeeded but often they have. I guess it’s about knowing how far and in what way to push.
