Speaking on Channel Seven's Sunrise, One Nation's Pauline Hanson called for the postal survey to be held at the next federal election.
After Hanson expressed her anger at the validity of the postal survey, the interview spiraled as she and co-guest Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young turned on each other.
"As I've said to you, I'm not happy with the plebiscite. There are votes being sold on eBay, there are votes being stolen out of letter boxes, it can be seen through the envelope whether they have voted yes or no... I think it is a waste of $122 million holding this plebiscite," Senator Hanson said.
'I think its farcical, it's a joke and it should have gone to the next election," she added.
"Let the people have their say, in the proper way, at the next election. Make sure it is a true vote. There should be no hatred in this."
Senator Hanson-Young jumped in and said it would be "crazy" to cancel the vote when Australians are after a result.
“You think we should scrap this [postal survey] for it and put it to another election. That seems crazy. Let’s just get this done,” she said.

Hanson said she was sure the Greens Senator would not stay quiet if the 'No' vote came out on top.
Senator Hanson-Young was quick to hit back before the interview turned sour.
“If the vote came out to 'No', you would accept it. You just won’t accept it because the majority of the Australians are saying 'Yes'. It will be a 'Yes' vote, we will say 'Yes' in the parliament and we will get it done,' Hanson-Young said.
After claiming there would be many broken hearts if the 'No' vote was the majority, Greens Senator Hanson-Young again turned her attention to the One Nation leader telling her to "get over it".

“You will run the fear campaign and say that people, kids can’t call their parents mum and dad. We all know that is crap. This is about couples who love each other wanting to get married.”
On the weekend, the campaign against gay marriage - supported by high-profile politicians - warned of future persecution at its national launch in Sydney.
The campaign against same-sex marriage is under attack because it's on the "right side of legal and moral history", conservative senator Cory Bernardi said.
