Pauline Hanson defends One Nation housing policy after interview fallout

One Nation leader Pauline Hanson intervened to clarify her party's stance on foreign ownership of Australian residential property after a problematic interview by party member Barnaby Joyce. Hanson posted on Facebook that foreign owners – including temporary visa holders and overseas citizens – would be given two years to sell their Australian homes, while permanent residents would not be forced to sell.

The interview, described as a "train wreck" by opposition figures, saw Joyce initially suggest permanent residents might be barred from holding property, then re‑record his answer to state the opposite. Hanson’s clarification came as the party prepared for her first formal speech at the National Press Club, where she is expected to address broader policy positions and defend One Nation's growing influence in Australian politics.
