The HAFF was passed unamended

Oh ok, so we're just making up lies now? Geez, I get that you're a Labor fanboy, but this is getting ridiculous. Sometimes, Labor just objectively did the wrong thing. And their slow reaction to the Greens' quite sensible improvements to the HAFF is one of those times.

You're technically correct. I assumed this one amendment was passed in February and was to correct a typo, but looking closer it was in September. Still, this amendment was to basically move forward a report on the outcomes. I wouldn't call that greatly improved, hell I'd say it makes it worse since it will turn the HAFF into a political football when the report shows barely any improvements due to the delays caused by the Greens (6 months + uncertainty) and the long-term nature of the HAFF.
