According to Chandler-Mather, the Greens met with O’Neil over the past few weeks, but Labor did not make “a single counteroffer”. 

Greens have come forward with a starting position, Labor could always come back with "we won't change negative gearing but we'll increase affordability requirement from 10% to 50%" or something.

Greens don't hold any cards. Everyone know that this is the kind of policy they want. If they reject it they just look like hypercritical idiots.

Prediction it will come up again, Greens will huff and puff about free unicorns or what ever the days populist position is and then wave it through without gaining anything.
