Australian PM visits Greek restaurant in Queensland during holiday with fiancée

·

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese took a five-day holiday that has been under heavy scrutiny by the hard-working public.

Albanese seemed visibly frustrated as a press conference in Cairns interrupted his holiday, stating “I’ve tried to have a couple of days off, and here I am at a press conference on Monday.”

The weekend before the conference on Saturday, July 20, Albanese was spotted at the El Greko Greek Taverna at Palm Cove in far north Queensland.

In photos posted on Instagram, the Australian Prime Minister appeared carefree with his fiancée Jodie Haydon as they posed with owners and staff of the Greek restaurant.

According to Daily Mail, El Greko Greek Taverna owner Lisa Grant said “[she] was very overwhelmed, let me tell you. We are a little Greek restaurant and to be chosen to have dinner with us was very special.”
