Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese received a standing ovation after ‘skolling’ a beer during a Gang of Youth’s concert in Sydney, on Monday, August 22.

Video recorded by Rhanna Collins shows the 59-year-old Albanese giving a wave to the cheering crowd after finishing his beer.

Albanese was seated next to his partner Jodie Haydon and senior minister Tony Burke.

The concert was held in the Prime Minister’s electoral division of Grayndler.

Polling published the same day showed Albanese’s government lifted its primary vote to 42 per cent, from 33 per cent, since forming government in May. Credit: Rhanna Collins via Storyful
