Latest News About Barnaby Joyce backs Hanson on deportation call

Former deputy prime minister Deputy PM Joyce supported the One Nation leader after she advocated mass deportations, stating her remarks were misunderstood.

Joyce made the observations during a television interview earlier last month. He later shouted at a dog that appeared on set during the broadcast.

Hanson then stressed she would not withdraw previous contentious remarks. This followed Channel 7 airing an interview between Hanson together with far-right figure Tommy Robinson.

Joyce accused the network of treating the story like a circus in its coverage.
