Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has copped backlash for attending radio shock jock Kyle Sandilands’ lavish Sydney wedding over the weekend.
Mr Albanese defended his decision to attend during two press conferences on Friday and Saturday, praising the broadcaster as a self-made “Australian success story” who lifted himself out of poverty.

"The test of that budget will be whether Anthony Albanese gives Australians a start date for the $275 reduction in power prices, a start date for the cheaper mortgages Labor promised and a start date for real wage rises - it's hard to see how the Prime Minister can justify being there tomorrow when there are still no answers on those promises.
