Housing and homelessness stakeholders are concerned that Labor and the Greens appear to be on a collision course that could see the $10bn housing Australia future fund voted down this week in the Senate.

Since Guardian Australia revealed on Friday that the Albanese government intends to put the bill to a vote, despite not having Greens’ support, Homelessness Australia has called for the bill to pass, while the Everybody’s Home campaign has urged Labor to come back to the bargaining table.
