One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has been forced to clarify the party's housing policy after multiple MPs were unclear on elements.

Both Barnaby Joyce and senator Sean Bell had disastrous interviews when asked questions about foreign owners of homes in Australia.

Under One Nation's policy, foreign owners of homes in Australia would have two years to sell their property or have it repossessed by the government.

Pauline Hanson has been forced to "please explain" how One Nation's housing policy would work after multiple party members misspoke or could not provide crucial details in separate interviews.

Under the party platform, foreign owners of homes in Australia would have two years to sell their property or have it repossessed by the government.

Deputy Greens leader Mehreen Faruqi took One Nation leader Pauline Hanson to Federal Court claiming her tweet breached the Racial Discrimination Act.

When asked if the measure also applied to permanent residents who were not citizens, One Nation MP Barnaby Joyce said they would also be forced to divest their properties.

"Become an Australian citizen, and that's going to deal with the issue, right? Become an Australian citizen," he told Sky News on Thursday night.

"On further investigation and discussions with One Nation, no, we are not going to be kicking permanent residents out of their house," he said.

The interview prompted party leader Pauline Hanson to confirm the measures would not affect permanent residents.

"If you are a temporary visa holder or a foreign citizen residing overseas, One Nation will give you two years to sell your property to an Australian," she wrote on social media on Friday.

"One Nation would remove the ability for international students, non-permanent residents, and non-Australian citizens from buying future property within Australia."

Confusion over the policy continued when One Nation senator Sean Bell could not provide details on what would happen if homes were not sold within the two-year time frame and whether the government would still be able to repossess them.

"That is an excellent question, but what we're saying, and it is perfectly reasonable to expect that homes in Australia go to Australian citizens," he told Sydney radio station 2GB.
