People are all saying the same thing about Anthony Albanese following Australian Prime Minister’s bizarre call to Olympic Games heroes in Paris

Anthony Albanese has copped criticism from the public after sharing a video call he had with the Australian Olympic Games team.

Albanese posted the two-minute clip to his X account on Tuesday, in which he congratulated Kyle Chalmers, Shayna Jack and Caitlin Parker for their amazing performances in Paris.

‘Hey everyone! Greetings from Australia,’ he said. 

‘You have given so much pleasure and excitement and pride to the whole country so well done to all of you.’

He also shared that he has been waking up early with his pet dog Toto to watch all of the action in France.

But Aussies have been left unimpressed by the ‘publicity stunt’, describing the interaction as ‘cringeworthy’.

‘Not quite as cringeworthy as watching you dance at the Taylor swift concert but very close,’ one person said on X. 

‘Always makes it about himself,’ said a second X user.

A third person posted: ‘Proud of them but we don’t care about you, the country is falling. Concentrate on fixing it instead of all these publicity stunts.’

‘Worst Prime Minister ever,’ claimed a fourth person. ‘Stop embarrassing the nation.’ 

A fifth social media user said: ‘I just vomited in my mouth.’

Albanese’s message came after he raised Australia’s terrorism threat level from possible to probable due to an increased risk of politically motivated violence. 

While it has not been raised due to one specific incident, it’s understood there have been eight incidents in Australia investigated by security officials for alleged terrorism or possible terrorist links.

The conflict in the Middle East is also understood to have exacerbated concerns by security agencies about politically motivated violence in Australia, although it is not the direct cause of the threat level rising.

It’s the first time the threat level has been raised since 2014 during the height of threats from terrorist group Islamic State.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the national security committee met on Monday morning to discuss the change.

‘Probable does not mean inevitable and it does not mean there is intelligence about an imminent threat or danger,’ Mr Albanese told reporters in Canberra.

‘But the advice that we’ve received is that more Australians are embracing a more diverse range of extreme ideologies.’
