Sky News host Chris Smith says Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese has “copped it” over a photograph of him and Labor MP Clare O’Neil.
The photograph depicted the pair in the rain, with Ms O’Neil holding an umbrella over Mr Albanese.
“He loses weight, get a new pair of specs, we saw that, well, fancy Akubra when he went into the Queensland rural areas, and now an umbrella holder to look rather important, statesmanlike,” Mr Smith said.
“Maybe next time Albo’s caught in the rain he might be a little more chivalrous and hold the umbrella himself, do you think?”
