One Nation MP Barnaby Joyce was caught short on Sky News last night when Andrew Bolt pressed him for details of the party’s call to outlaw foreign ownership of housing in Australia.
Joyce went on the most sympathetic couch in the country and still couldn't tell Bolt how the foreign ownership ban would actually work. Foreigners already can't touch your existing terrace — the FIRB's run that fence for decades. The real bottleneck's the planning office, not Beijing, but you can't fit a planning office on a bumper sticker. Lang knew his numbers cold. This bloke went looking for his in the ad break.
