Australia’s One Nation party is sparking confusion with its foreign home ownership policy, aiming to prioritize Australians in housing but struggling to clarify who exactly it affects. Initial claims that all foreign owners must sell within two years led to chaos — including Barnaby Joyce re-recording his statement to clarify that permanent residents living in Australia aren’t targeted. Critics called it a “train wreck,” while Senator Sean Bell admitted the policy’s impact depends on visa type. The ATO confirms 40,000 foreign-owned homes exist, but current rules already restrict purchases by temporary residents and overseas buyers — except for new builds. Pauline Hanson stepped in to reinforce the message: permanent residents building lives in Australia are not being forced to sell, and the goal is to ensure Aussie priorities without displacing those already settled here.
