Minister for NDIS Bill Shorten says it was an "unholy alliance" between the Greens and Liberals, who he claims threw the opportunity of home ownership on the "bonfire of political expediency". He says the Greens are a "formidable and destructive part of Australian life", who he claims operate as an "outrage factory" and "create anxiety."
