Barnaby Joyce's awkward housing policy backflip
Published 2 weeks, 5 days ago
Description
One Nation MP Barnaby Joyce backflipped on his party's housing policy during a live interview, initially stating permanent residents would be forced to sell their homes before retracting his comments after consulting with the party. The confusion arose over One Nation leader Pauline Hanson's policy targeting foreign property owners, amid new Senate estimates revealing 51,000 permanent residents have accessed the government's 5% deposit home purchase scheme. The opposition argues only Australian citizens should access the taxpayer-funded subsidy, while the government maintains permanent residents are taxpayers entitled to the benefit.
