Australian prime minister tumbles off stage during campaign event

Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese appeared to fall off a stage on April 3 during a campaign event for May’s national election, but quickly recovered and insisted he was “sweet” afterwards.

The leader of the centre-left Labor party, 62, was posing for photos following his speech at the Mining and Energy Union Conference held in New South Wales, when he stepped back and lost his footing, drawing gasps from the audience.

Albanese promptly got back on his feet and gestured to the crowd with two hands that he was fine.
