One Nation harbors confusion, sign of party ‘chaos’: Rishworth
Confusion and mixed messages from One Nation MPs on housing policies are a sign of the “chaos” brought by the party, according to the labor minister Amanda Rishworth.
During an embarrassing 24 hours for the right-wing populist party, MPs struggled to explain whether the party wanted to force permanent residents to sell their homes. Barnaby Joyce He initially suggested that it was.
Following radio interview described as a “train wreck” on 2GB, the One Nation senator said Sean Belleventually announced that permanent residents would not be affected.
Instead, One Nation wants to ban foreigners and temporary visa holders from buying properties and give existing owners two years to sell.
Speaking to Sky News on Sunday, Rishworth said:
Look, this really showed me the confusion that One Nation has and the potential chaos that One Nation would bring. I mean, we didn’t just have Barnaby Joyce, we had other members of One Nation who couldn’t answer the question, couldn’t tell us how much it was going to cost, gave excuses as to why it couldn’t be costed. So honestly, if One Nation wants to be taken seriously, I think they need to do the work, and unfortunately what we saw here was that One Nation could identify a problem, but it could be absolutely chaotic in terms of what that solution could look like.
Rishworth also took aim Pauline Hanson After falsely claiming that One Nation could not use the Parliamentary Budget Office (PBO) to pay for its policies ahead of the last election because it did not have enough members to be considered an official party.
If One Nation wants to be taken seriously, it must act like a serious party and not just make up evasions.
NSW government proposes extending Sydney Opera House outdoor opening hours
The New South Wales government said it would increase the maximum capacity of outdoor events from 5,000 to 6,000 people for low- and medium-sized events and from 6,000 to 7,000 people for large events as part of changes to the Sydney Opera House.
Late-night sound levels for major events will be increased to be consistent with the maximum levels allowed earlier in the day, and event hours will be increased on all days of the week.
The NSW government said this would increase community engagement and engagement by supporting major events, improving the audience experience and commercial viability of concerts.
The proposed changes will be on public display from today until July 7.
Minister of Arts and Night Economy, John Grahamin question:
Noise levels in the Sydney Opera House forecourt will no longer be determined by ‘Toaster’ residents’ bedtimes.
For decades, moving next door to a pub and then campaigning to close it has become a sport in Sydney. We are putting an end to this, and the same approach needs to apply to the world’s largest performance venue.
The Sydney Opera House is everyone’s home and these changes ensure the experience matches the epic setting.
