Scott Morrison calls out Anthony Albanese’s makeover

  • Prime Minister said he wore the same suits and the same glasses on Monday
  • Anthony Albanese has shed 18kg and embraced a new lifestyle in recent months
  • Morrison said ‘when you’re Prime Minister, you can’t pretend to be anyone else’

Scott Morrison has made a subtle dig at Anthony Albanese, saying unlike the Labor leader, he wasn’t ‘pretending to be anyone else’.

The Prime Minister suggested Mr Albanese’s 18kg weight loss and lifestyle transformation meant he didn’t know who he was, while speaking to Sky News‘ Paul Murray Live on Monday night about the upcoming election.

‘I’m not pretending to be anyone else. I’m still wearing the same sunglasses,’ he said as Murray burst out laughing.

‘Sadly, the same suits. I weigh about the same size and I don’t mind a bit of Italian cuisine … I’m not pretending to be anyone else.

‘And when you’re Prime Minister, you can’t pretend to be anyone else. You’ve got to know who you are, because if you don’t know who you are, then how are other people going to know?’
