So.. (spoiler alert for everyone who is only up to the June 2023 episode of APH in the Vice article):

In September 2023 the $10B housing bill was passed by Labor and the Greens.
Bit of a shame Labor held back for so long on the Greens amendments, but Labor did show here they can work around the inevitable delays of robust parliamentary discourse by approving interim funding for housing in June to get things started while the details of long term funding were nutted out the crossbench.

So OP's claims that this vote by the Greens is "unforgivable" is basically propagandist bullshit, because the Greens passed a solution only months later...
