FED:'Trainwreck': One Nation forced to clarify housing plan

Pauline Hanson has been forced to confirm how One Nation's housing policy would work after multiple party members misspoke or could not provide crucial details in separate interviews.

Under the party platform, foreign owners of homes in Australia would have two years to sell their property or have it repossessed by the government.

When asked if the measure also applied to permanent residents who were not citizens, One Nation MP Barnaby Joyce said they would also be forced to divest their properties.

"Become an Australian citizen and that's going to deal with the issue, right? Become an Australian citizen," he told Sky News on Thursday night.

Mr Joyce later conducted a second interview on Sky, in which he confirmed the party's policy did not extend to permanent residents, after making several phone calls to verify the platform.
