Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has been under attack since he took office from the Coalition and some sections of the media for the number of international trips he has taken. But how does he compare to other recent prime ministers?
International travel is literally a requirement for the job. This is a non-issue.
I would flip this back on the detractors: Which specific trip(s) do you believe the Prime Minister should not have taken? Let them go on the record saying “China was not worth a personal visit”, or “The Queen’s funeral was not worth a personal visit”.

Watch them back down, real fast.
