Albanese caught joking about phone placement on hot mic at climate conference
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Energy Minister Chris Bowen were recorded making crude jokes about where they keep their phones.
At the COP31 climate conference in Türkiye on Friday, Albanese asked Bowen where he keeps his phone, warning him not to store it over his heart due to radiation concerns. Bowen replied he was more concerned about another part of his body.
Albanese then asked, laughing: 'Because of your d..k?' Bowen agreed with him, and the pair laughed, unaware their conversation had been picked up by 7NEWS cameras and microphones.
