What interested me about that clip was the attitude of the reporter. He seemed to be determined to skewer Bandt with his detailed but ultimately inane question.
Of course, the “Google it” response is now not available to others, but it may discourage more gotcha questions.
Do you reckon Albanese would have got away with "Google it" on such a key figure as the unemployment rate...No way in the world. It would have been seen as not taking it seriously and being disrespectful...and as good as an acknowledgement he didn't know the answer.
There are different standards.
