QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator HANSON (Queensland—Leader of One Nation) (14:54): Minister, your government is still allowing foreigners to purchase new homes, driving up demand and prices when Australians can't own one. In 2017, the ANZ bank estimated foreigners owned up to 400,000 existing Australian homes. One Nation says these existing homes should be owned by Australians, not foreigners.

When will you force these foreigners to sell their properties, a lot of which are unoccupied while Australians are sleeping in tents and cars?
