#AnthonyAlbanese has said he should not have appeared on a podcast where he engaged in a joke about the #Japanese prime minister’s gift to him of #melons.
During an appearance on the comedy podcast #BushDeep last month, the prime minister explained that Japan’s leader, #SanaeTakaichi, offered him royal Japanese melons and appeared to make hand gestures in front of his chest, saying “she brought two, as you do”. Host #NikkiOsborne joked: “She came in looking like #PamelaAnderson.”
The appearance sparked a furore in sections of the media over the apparent #sexualinnuendo. He later apologised for “elements of the podcast”.
In an interview with ABC’s 7.30 last night, Albanese was asked what he learned from the experience. He said:
“I learned that I need to do better every day, and of course, if I had my time again, which you don’t, then I wouldn’t have done that podcast. You know, we have a view which is [we’re] trying to talk to as many people as possible, but clearly that was an error.”
