One Nation MP Barnaby Joyce unleashes on dog during live TV interview | 9 News Australia

In one of the most bizarre TV moments of the year, One Nation MP Barnaby Joyce has yelled at his dog in the middle of an interview.

Live to Peter Feegan now on the Gold Coast.Peter, talk us through it.

Mike and Sylvia, very good morning to you.It's hard to argue, Sylvia, that it gets any more Aussie than this.Barnaby Joyce, the former Deputy Prime Minister of Australia, the One Nation MP, has always somewhat been a character, the true blue Aussie character.And I tell you what, it was on full display last night during an interview on the ABC with Sarah Ferguson.He was interrupted mid -question by a disobedient pooch.Here we go.

We've got it for you.

Are you really comfortable with where she is taking you?

Five feet.Sit down!Sorry, it's a dog.

Now, social media is divided over this one this morning, Sylvia, I can tell you.Some suggest that this was Barnaby Joyce trying to deflect the tough questions being asked of him by Sarah Ferguson.He was being asked to defend One Nation's direction, being asked to defend Pauline Hanson, while others suggest that it simply was just that, a disobedient dog.But I tell you what it has done this morning, guys.It's reignited debate over whether or not it's acceptable to bring a dog to work.Sylvia, I say yes it is.

All I say is show us the dog, Barnaby.You know what I mean?Thank you, Peter.See you soon.
