  • The prime minister said he had already visited a synagogue and had six hours of meetings before he was photographed playing tennis on Saturday afternoon.

The article from The Sydney Morning Herald discusses Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's response to media scrutiny over photographs of him playing tennis. Albanese humorously remarked that he "did some exercise" when questioned about the photos, which were taken during a casual game with friends. The photos sparked a minor controversy as some critics suggested he should be focusing more on his duties. Albanese defended his right to personal time, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a work-life balance. He also highlighted his commitment to fitness, noting that regular exercise helps him manage the stress of his demanding role. The article also touches on the broader debate about the expectations placed on political leaders regarding their personal time versus public duties.
