Barnaby Joyce publicly supports Pauline Hanson’s proposal calling for mass deportations from Australia, according to multiple outlets. Joyce backs the position that people in the country illegally should be removed, and he links the issue to situations involving access to services. He suggests that authorities could target illegal entrants when they seek medical treatment.
Joyce also denies that One Nation is seeking a return to the “White Australia” policy. The denial is reported in conjunction with his endorsement of Hanson’s deportation stance, indicating the comments are part of a broader political dispute about the party’s intentions and historical associations.
The reports present Joyce’s remarks as aligning with Hanson’s call for deportations while attempting to distance himself and the party from allegations that their broader agenda includes restoring racially exclusionary immigration policy. The outlets converge on the central points: Joyce endorses a mass deportation approach and disputes claims about a revival of the White Australia policy, while his commentary includes an example involving medical treatment as a potential trigger for enforcement.
