The Greens have finally come around to backing Labor's housing bill after opposing it for so long which has put Australia a year behind according to Senator Jacqui Lambie.

Greens Housing Spokesperson Max Chandler-Mather told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, 'part of the reason it took so long was because last year we did pass Labor's Housing Australia Future Fund in exchange for securing $3 billion of investment in social housing.'

'That is the biggest direct investment in social housing in over a decade that the Greens secured, six times what Labor originally planned to spend and we thought let's try and do that again because the housing crisis is so bad.'
