totally not intentional to make them look like average australian blokes yous should vote for

Cameras were rolling ahead of the event during which time Mr Albanese and Mr Bowen were privately chatting to each other.

Mr Albanese put his phone in his jacket pocket and — as he did so — told Mr Bowen he had heard it was better to store the device away from the heart because “it can interfere with your rhythm”.

Mr Bowen responded in a joking tone if it was because the phone was “a little bit radioactive”.

The prime minister laughed, saying the idea “makes absolute sense”.

Mr Bowen then responded he was more conscious about putting his phone in his pants pocket.

Mr Albanese asked, “Because of your dick?”

The pair laughed and Mr Bowen agreed, adding it was “arguably more important than the heart”.

oh all right this is misogynistic faux passing and they should be keelhauled for it
