I think he was interviewed in the same documentary about immigration as Pauline Hanson.
I could be wrong but I think that was as far as it went. I remember it making me pretty uncomfortable at the time but I don't think he actually supported her or One Nation.

In December 2016, he publicly announced that while he was not joining (or funding) her party, he supported many of her policies, and had accepted an (unpaid) role as one of her political advisers. See this TV interview with him at the time: https://www.news.com.au/finance/work/leaders/dick-smith-backs-pauline-hansons-plan-for-one-nation-state-election-blitz/news-story/3a6f5c4f24cb2d37e282e26b74a6f9c0 https://www.news.com.au/finance/work/leaders/dick-smith-back...

I’ll certainly support that,” Mr Smith told the Daily Telegraph. “I agree with her views on immigration numbers, that is about 70,000 a year, not 200,000. But I do not agree with her views on Muslim immigration.” I think this was a mistake on his part.
