Former deputy prime minister Deputy PM Joyce threw his weight behind the One Nation leader after she advocated mass deportations, saying her words were misunderstood.
Joyce made the observations during a television interview earlier last month. He later berated a dog that turned up mid-broadcast 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 alongside far-right figure Tommy Robinson.
Joyce hit out at the network of overblown coverage in its handling of the interview.
