Piers Morgan vs Anthony Albanese | The Full Interview

[@-Smokey-]

Piers is very good at setting up trick questions. Anthony held it together very well

[@ads214]

Man the first quarter is like: Piers: "You're a republican! How can you pledge allegiance to the King as an Australian PM?!?" Albo: "My own views aside, I represent the Australian people who are currently not a republic." Repeat.

[@StratOCE]

Piers was desperately trying to get a sound bite for his boss, it was so obvious. Was fun to watch Albo dance circles around him and refuse to give in. I'm sure uncle Rupert specifically instructed him to get that sound bite so Piers *had* to try that hard or risk losing his job.

[@worldwed]

Not a fan of really any politician, but as an Australian I think he handled these answers well. He is correct, his job is to represent us and our interests and giving personal opinions about other nations affairs is not. Whilst we all may partially want someone who agrees with our own personal views and espouses them, it doesnt do any good for international diplomacy.

[@LogicCaster]

Hes a puppet to communism

[@MsPuddleDuckie]

That's rubbish, you took his bait hook line and sinker ! He did slip up many times with intent, by not answering the question directly and deflecting the question to sporting organisations. He is a master deflector, he did not even define what "his adult female" was. His leftist mob believe you can be a "adult female'' by just putting a dress on and selecting the female gender in your head, even if you are a biological born male, with male reproductive organs, (aka born with a penis, testicals and male DNA at birth). Nowhere did he define his 'adult female' as being a biological born baby that possesses female reproductive organs at birth and has female DNA). The quick and easy way for him to have answered the question simply would have been a baby who possesses natural female DNA at birth and female reproductive organs. That's how stupid Albo is ....... or, is it how deceiving he is, like, most leftist politicians today are ? His word salad responses and deflections to questions alway require close, in depth dissections and, examinations to get to any truths.

[@wayneparry4284]

Well handled by the Australian prime minister. I think guests on Piers Morgan's show should be warned that they will be probed on questions related to Harry/Megan and transgender issues. It seems as if every interview Piers Morgan does these days is focused on only these two things. The leader of a country has more important responsibilities and shouldn't have to be lured into a click-bait trap for sensationalist media. On the question of Australia's head of state, this should be a no-brainer. Why is it so hard to fathom that a sovereign country wants to have its own head of state?

[@kida3168]

Well said, I agree entirely. I would also add that Piers missed an opportunity to engage with the PM on an issue of genuine historical significance to Australia - the Voice to Parliament referendum, which is happening later this year. This should be of significance to British people, given that it is an olive branch and a request coming from the Aboriginal people to be recognised in the constitution and represented in parliament, which is something that was historically denied to them by the english colonists. It represents a significant turning point in Australia's colonial history. Yet when Albanese mentioned it, Piers didn't have a word to say about it (despite it being a hot topic for conservatives here in Australia). Piers was too eager to get back to whinging about Harry And Megan. What a child.

It doesn't matter what your politics are. Albo, is a very rare politician of integrity.

Swallow the partisan politics, and let's reward the few honest people who get to a position of power. And for Albo, it was an unlikely rise, the corrupt power-hungry Labour Party of Australia fell on all of their swords and he was one of the only ones standing in the wake of a very incompetent Liberal government that all fell on their swords.

[@22ab8]

@Robert definition of witty wit•ty (ˈwɪt i) adj. -ti•er, -ti•est. 1. amusingly clever in perception and expression; possessing wit: a witty writer. 2. characterized by wit: a witty remark. Robert, I don't think the reference to the word 'sharp' is relevant in any way to being 'witty' Using the correct grammer in expressing ourselves is important, very important, as it gives the reader an insight into one's character. If you wish to stand out from the crowd, speaking and writing correctly and eloquently will do you no harm. Ignorance is born from laziness. We have a brain, if we don't use fully, it will die! Ciao.

Too bad that when China thought they could hurt our citizens with tariffs and bans on our commodities, it led to power shutdowns and production slowing till they allowed it to be traded again.

The world has many imbecile world leaders, but Albo is not one of them. I wish him every success.
