One Nation's housing policy has been the subject of much controversy, with the party's leader, Pauline Hanson, struggling to clarify the details. In a series of interviews, Hanson and her colleague, Barnaby Joyce, have given conflicting answers about the party's policy on foreign ownership of housing. The party's initial statement suggested that it would force permanent residents to sell their homes, but this was later denied by Joyce. The confusion has led to accusations that the party is "literally making up policy as it goes along."

A flesh-eating parasite outbreak has been detected in the US, with experts warning that the threat to humans is low but the impact on cattle ranchers could be significant. The parasite, known as the New World Screwworm, has been detected in the southern US border and has been linked to the deaths of several animals. The US government has outlined a plan to combat the outbreak, including deploying hundreds of millions of genetically-altered sterile flies and using sniffer dogs to detect the insects.
