One Nation MP David Farley says Aboriginal Australians are an "advancing culture" after his party leader said the race was "primitive".
Pauline Hanson offered a qualified apology yesterday for comments made on a conservative podcast last year which attracted condemnation.
The One Nation leader said she didn't mean to cause offense by the comments which she said in the context of discussing learning Indigenous history in classrooms.
Speaking to Afternoon Briefing, Farley says there is a more primitive race in South Africa.
