‘Don’t the Australians come first?’: Barnaby Joyce blasts PM’s immigration policies

Nationals MP Barnaby Joyce has questioned if Australians still come first under the Albanese government after immigration numbers have skyrocketed to record highs since their election.
“Where are the houses for these people, where are the schools, where are the new dams, where are the hospitals?” Mr Joyce asked Sky News Australia host Peta Credlin.
“People just think that people come in but you have actually got to provide not only the houses but the infrastructure to back it up.
“In the meantime, homelessness is making its way to Bundaberg and Tamworth - we are seeing people sleeping rough in areas we have never seen it before.
“People who literally are good people, decent people, got a job are living in their car.
“Don’t the Australians come first in all of this?”
