Tom Elliott has hit hit out at Anthony Albanese, after the Australian Prime Minister was asked by British journalist Piers Morgan on whether he would move for an Australian republic.

The 3AW Drive host couldn’t understand the Prime Minister’s response.

“I cannot for the life of me understand why Albanese wants to repeat the mistake that Malcolm Turnbull made 24 years ago,” he said.
