Aug 11, 20263:21Now PlayingAustralian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese declined to apologise on Tuesday (Aug 11), despite pressure to do so, after a recording surfaced showing him making crude remarks about a gift he had received from his Japanese counterpart. The controversy follows an earlier incident in which Albanese apologised for comments made during a conversation with the Bush Deep podcast last month, in which he said he would "s**g" singer Kylie Minogue. Speaking with podcast host Nikki Osborne at his official residence, Albanese described receiving an unusual gift: a Japanese royal melon from Takaichi. Such melons are regarded as high-end luxury items in Japan, with Japan's former ambassador to Australia noting they can cost upwards of $190.
