Prime Minister corrects Karl Stefanovic's misunderstanding of Australia's stance on Palestinian statehood and criticizes his comparison of Palestine and Hamas to a block of Cadbury's Top Deck chocolate.
An odd question from Karl Stefanovic has led the Prime Minister to jump in and tell the Today show host he’s got it all wrong.Anthony Albanese has hit back at Karl Stefanovic after he compared Palestine and Hamas to a block of Cadbury’s Top Deck chocolate.
“But separating Hamas and a Palestinian state is, like, kind of separating the milk and the dark chocolate and the Cadbury Top Deck. I mean, it’s just about impossible, isn’t it?” Stefanovic asked.Karl Stefanovic grilled Anthony Albanese while he did the morning media rounds to promote a new energy initiative.
“And what we need to do is to look beyond what happens post the current conflict … a two-state solution is something that does need to be advanced.” Mr Albanese dismissed it as just “more nasty negativity” from the Opposition Leader and said Senator Wong’s comments were about being a “serious player” and “about real solutions to the Middle East conflict”.
Executive Council of Australian Jewry chief Alex Ryvchin said the timing of Senator Wong’s comments were “problematic”.
