Dramatic moment Anthony Albanese storms out of a press conference as Mark McGowan awkwardly watches on – after Labor leader refused to answer questions about the cost of his policies
Anthony Albanese has been chased out of a press conference by reporters after he refused to to answer questions about Labor’s policy costings.
Western Australia Premier Mark McGowan was left watching on awkwardly as the Labor leader suddenly stormed out of the room at the MetroNET manufacturing facility in Perth’s east on Tuesday.
Mr McGowan described the scene as ‘madness’ as several journalists chased Mr Albanese out the door, demanding he answer their questions.
A Sky News reporter was seen walking quickly behind the Opposition leader calling on him to unveil the costs before Mr Albanese left the room.

‘We are following you for answers Mr Albanese and you are now just not giving them,’ he said.
‘You have to answer eventually.’
The Coalition had released its full costings earlier in the day, with Mr Albanese hit with various questions about the cost of his own policies.
He had pledged to release the details after the Coalition’s campaign launch on Sunday and has since pointed to Thursday as the day where the costings will be revealed.
Mr Albanese left the room after just 13 minutes of questions – most on Labor’s deficits and the proposed World Health Organisation’s pandemic treaty.
