Anthony Albanese will use next week’s resumption of Parliament to give the government the option of an early, double dissolution election, using as the trigger the stymied legislation for his $10 billion affordable housing fund.

With the Greens and the Coalition teaming up in the Senate in June to refuse to pass the bill, the government needs the Greens and Coalition to repeat the refusal a second time, with a minium period of three months in between, to create the trigger for a double dissolution.
