‘Busted’ | Japan whacks Anthony Albanese over boob joke

Do you believe Anthony Albanese because he's being called out over a joke that he allegedly told about the leader of Japan, but he says we're all confused and he's done nothing wrong.Australia's former ambassador to Japan has slammed the comments.The PM made the joke on that podcast that he did with Nikki Osbourne, the comedian.That's the same podcast where he was talking about shagging Kylie Minogue.And Nicky asked him about the gifts he'd received from other world leaders.This was Albo.

So as the PM cracked the joke, he made suggestive hand gestures in front of his chest.He's yet to apologise for it and now Australia's former ambassador to Japan has called the joke insulting.Mr Yamagami says the recent joke delivered by Anthony Albanese is how he might be remembered by the Japanese.The last thing our Prime Minister expected was to be casually mocked by the trusted leader of Japan's strategic partner.The former ambassador writes in The Australian, Prime Minister, please think about Japan's sweet and juicy melons without thinking about a woman's anatomy.Instead, focus on what our two countries must do together.

But now the Prime Minister's office is saying, no, we're all confused.They say the comment, which has been widely interpreted as a reference to the Japanese leader's body, has been misunderstood.They say the assertion is wrong.Let's just have a listen to the end of that gag again.What do you reckon the PM was talking about?I don't know.

I'm expecting.

Got a couple of melons.

She brought two.

She brought two, as you do.Oh, come on, Albo.I mean, we've all told a boob joke.Mind you, I think the last time I did was probably in year seven or year eight.
