"You just asked me": Albo and Ally's tense exchange
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has snapped back at Ally Langdon during a tense moment while he was being interviewed on the Today show.
Mr Albanese appeared on the Channel 9 morning show to discuss several topics, one including the fallout from the recent revelations that former PM Scott Morrison had secretly appointed himself to five ministries.
Ally broached the topic by asking the Prime Minister Albanese whether he would call a Royal Commission into how all levels of government handled the recent Covid-19 pandemic. She then raised John Howard's comments from earlier in the week, which Mr Albanese quickly dismissed as being those of a “loyal Liberal” and said when asked about Mr Morrison he will give an answer.
Ally Langdon went on to question whether “the bloke you beat” should be the Prime Minister’s top priority, considering Australia's energy crisis and homelessness issues.
The PM immediately took the issue with Langdon's line of questioning, declaring that he was only talking about the controversy because Langdon had asked about it.
“You just asked me the question, Ally, about Scott Morrison and I gave you the answer. If you ask me a question about inflation or about the economy, I‘ll give you an answer about that as well.
“This isn’t an issue that I chose to raise.”
Ally quickly switched topics to something a little more light-hearted, discussing whether the NRL Grand Final would remain in NSW this year.
