Former deputy prime minister Deputy PM Joyce supported Pauline Hanson after she demanded mass deportations, saying her words were misread by the public.
Joyce made the comments during a broadcast chat earlier last month. He later berated a dog that walked onto the set during the broadcast.
Hanson then clarified she would not back away from previous prior inflammatory words. This followed the rival network airing an interview between Hanson featuring far-right figure Tommy Robinson.
Joyce criticised the network of overblown coverage in its approach to the story.
