Have your say on school students’ anti-Hanson protest

Results of the ‘melon-gate’ poll

‘Melon-gate’ has consumed politics this week, with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese denying his comments about a gift from Japan’s PM were offensive and refusing to apologise. Is he right?

  • Yes – the remarks were not disrespectful of women and have been misconstrued – 15%
  • No – the comments were crass and tasteless, and the government has mishandled this whole sorry saga – 23%
  • Neither – it’s all a massive distraction and we’d be better off moving on to real issues – 62%
