Pauline Hanson has blasted fellow One Nation Senator Rod Culleton for breaking ranks and crossing the floor over backpacker taxes.

Culleton deepened the rift in the party when he sided with Labor over the backpacker tax percent.

"I was so annoyed that Rod Culleton actually crossed the floor and wouldn't come to the 13 percent" Hanson told Sky News.

"I tried to compromise and tried to get Derryn Hinch and Rod Culleton yesterday to agree to the 13 percent, they were not going to move on it.

“Rod said he's a farmer, no he is a farmer of a different sector he does not have backpackers.

"I was so angry that they would not agree to the government."

The backpacker tax passed in the Senate last night at 15 percent.

It is not the first time Culleton has clashed with the One Nation party leader.

Hanson, along with two of her colleagues, voted against the rogue Senator’s motion to see Attorney-General George Brandis return to the Senate.
