Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is facing fresh criticism over comments about Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s “melons”, with former ambassador to Japan Murray McLean reportedly accusing the Australian leader of casually mocking one of the country’s most important partners. “The Japanese Prime Minister brought a melon here,” Mr Albanese said. “She brought two,” Mr Albanese replied, before Osborne added, “She just came in looking like Pamela Anderson.” “She brought two,” Mr Albanese repeated. “No, no, I completely disagree with that interpretation of what the Prime Minister was saying,” she said.
