Albanese and Bowen hot mic moment
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen have been recorded in a mildly crude exchange, talking about where they keep their mobile phones in relation to their hearts and “dicks”.
Bowen commented that he is sometimes concerned about putting his phone in his pants pocket, to which Albanese responded: “because of your dick”.
The exchange happened while the pair waited for a roundtable on business investment to begin at the COP31 climate conference in Türkiye.
In response to the recording, a spokesperson for the prime minister said the pair “were having a joke between meetings”.
Major health and regulatory authorities including the World Health Organisation and the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA) say there is no scientific evidence that mobile phone use causes cancer or other adverse health effects.
