Muhtasari

  • Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is under fire for comments he made about two melons gifted to him by his Japanese counterpart Sanae Takaichi, after a former Japanese envoy called it an insult.
  • That episode, which aired in July, had already landed the PM in hot water because of “inappropriate” comments he made about popstar Kylie Minogue.
  • While discussing the melons Takaichi’s team had presented to Albanese during her visit to Australia in May, the host of Bush Deep, comedian Nikki Osborne, quipped: “She brought two… She just came in looking like Pamela.
  • The exchange, which drew relatively little interest when the episode aired, has resurfaced after Tokyo’s former ambassador to Canberra Shingo Yamagami labelled Albanese’s comments a “sexist joke” and said they “betrayed.
  • Several Labor ministers have jumped to Albanese’s defence, saying the former envoy and the media have misinterpreted his comments.
