Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says “there’s a risk” on a podcast, especially when they’re a comedian amid the ‘melon-gate’ saga.
“I do respect the Japanese Prime Minister, and certainly it’s not only what I said, it’s what Japan has said as well through their ambassador,” Mr Albanese told News24.
“One of the things … there’s been a lot of words written about this where people have pointed towards being inappropriate.
“You do a podcast with someone who’s a comedian, there’s a risk there, but I was asked about a gift, and I said it was a good gift, and it was.”
