'Sit down!' Australian politician berates dog on live TV
Joyce interrupted a live ABC interview to shout at his off-camera dog, adding a viral on-air blooper to a tense exchange about Pauline Hanson and Tommy Robinson.
- On Monday, Australian Member of Parliament Barnaby Joyce interrupted his live ABC 7.30 interview to shout "sit down!" at his dog while Anchor Sarah Ferguson questioned him about his party's leadership.
- Ferguson asked Joyce if he was "comfortable" with One Nation leader Pauline Hanson meeting British activist Tommy Robinson, an association that has drawn criticism for Hanson's recent political stances.
- As the dog continued interrupting, Joyce apologized, saying, "I do apologise for this dog," but Ferguson pushed back: "Don't worry about the dog, just answer the question."
- Redirecting the interview, Joyce claimed "about 30%" of voters desire a change in direction, emphasizing his role in ensuring the public receives a choice regarding Australia's future.
- This incident recalls Joyce's 2015 controversy with actor Johnny Depp, when he threatened to euthanize Depp's dogs after imposing a 50-hour deadline to remove them from Australia.
