A top lawmaker from Australia’s far-right One Nation party has grabbed headlines after exploding at a misbehaving dog as he was grilled on live TV.

Former deputy prime minister Barnaby Joyce was being interviewed on national broadcaster ABC on Monday night when he interrupted the one-on-one to shriek: “Sit down!”

It is not the first time the politician has fallen foul of man’s best friend – he once threatened to kill Johnny Depp’s dogs.

00:47Sarah, that's ridiculous.
