During a campaign event in Lovedale, New South Wales, Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese stumbled and fell off a stage whilst posing for photographs after a speech at the Mining and Energy Union conference.
After the tumble in the Hunter region, event staff assisted Albanese to stand, and he signalled to onlookers that he was unharmed. He was quickly on his feet as he smiled while looking at the crowd.
This occurred shortly after climate activists disrupted his visit to a nearby hospital. Two protesters from Rising Tide were removed from Maitland Hospital on Thursday after interrupting the Prime Minister's visit, as reported by Sky News.
Rising Tide claimed responsibility via social media, continuing their pattern of disrupting six recent political gatherings, affecting both major parties' leadership events.
Earlier this week, Albanese experienced a verbal slip when questioned about potential Greens cooperation. His response created confusion: "In spite of the 385 times that I have said... if you ask me 'Do you rule out governing in coalition with the Greens?', the answer to that is no."
Despite these setbacks, recent polling shows increased support for the Albanese government. Three significant polls - Newspoll, Resolve Political Monitor, and YouGov - indicate Labor's primary vote has risen, though neither major party secured an absolute majority.
Current figures show Albanese leading Peter Dutton as preferred prime minister , 49 to 38 per cent.
The federal election is scheduled for May 3.
