‘I’m human’: Anthony Albanese apologises for gaffe

Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese has apologised for not knowing the national unemployment rate or the official cash rate.

Mr Albanese was asked the question by a journalist at a press conference on Monday morning, but was unable to provide an answer.

He admitted it was a mistake in an interview on Sky News.

“Earlier today I made a mistake, I’m human,” Mr Albanese said.

“But when I make a mistake, I’ll fess up to it, and I’ll set about correcting that mistake.

“I won’t blame someone else, I accept responsibility, that’s what leaders do.”
