‘Things could not be looking worse’ for Anthony Albanese ahead of the election

Sky News host Sharri Markson says things “couldn’t be looking worse” for Prime Minister Anthony Albanese just months out from the federal election. Ms Markson said Opposition leader Peter Dutton is accusing Mr Albanese of breaching the ministerial code of conduct in what has now become a “major political scandal”. “Accusations that Anthony Albanese has misled voters about why his son had chairman’s lounge access,” she said. Mr Albanese has faced a barrage of criticism regarding allegations he solicited tens of thousands of dollars of business and first-class upgrades from former Qantas chief executive Alan Joyce. The Prime Minister admitted he discussed flights with the former Qantas CEO but declined to answer specific questions about whether he had solicited upgrades.
