- The dispute concerns Anthony Albanese’s hand gestures in front of his chest while describing two melons gifted to him by Japan’s Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi.
- A Japanese government note sent last month played down sensationalised reporting and said Japan would not formally raise the issue.
- James Paterson and the opposition foreign affairs spokesperson asked the AFP commissioner to investigate the apparent unlawful disclosure of confidential correspondence, while the AFP confirmed receiving the referral and gave no further details.
- Ministers Clare O’Neil and Tanya Plibersek dismissed the AFP request as a political stunt, while Albanese rejected demands for an apology and the allegation that he had made crude remarks about women.
This is a serious matter. It is important that our closest allies have confidence that when they share confidential correspondence with us that it will not find its way in the media.— Senator James Paterson said, regarding the AFP referral and the leak of confidential correspondence.
