Kyle and Jackie O listener ‘steals’ money from PM Anthony Albanese live on air: ‘That sounds just like politics’

As a dedicated follower of politics with a rich background in observing the intricacies of power dynamics and human behavior, I must admit that the incident involving Prime Minister Anthony Albanese being the victim of a theft during a radio show was both entertaining and disheartening at the same time.


During an appearance on the Kyle and Jackie O Show, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was unfortunately a target of a daytime theft.

On Wednesday, without prior arrangement, Australia’s leading politician joined Jackie ‘O’ Henderson for a spontaneous discussion. During this conversation, Jackie inquired whether the Prime Minister would be interested in participating in a game of “Divide or Swipe.”

“Jackie started the game by asking, ‘Could anyone dare to swindle from our own Prime Minister?'”

As a seasoned lifestyle guide, I had the pleasure of walking Albo through the intricacies of this unique exercise. Here’s the gist: Picture us as two individuals, you and I, stepping into a metaphorical ‘cone of quietude’. Essentially, we’ll both take a moment to disconnect, listen within, and reflect. Let’s embark on this journey together!

As a seasoned leader with years of experience in politics, I have often found myself faced with difficult decisions that require a delicate balance between personal gain and public responsibility. In this particular scenario, the choice presented to me is one that requires careful consideration. The offer of $5000, which I can either split or take for myself, is an enticing proposition. However, as Prime Minister, my actions have far-reaching consequences.

Jackie went on to explain: “If one individual decides to take the money and the other leaves, the thief keeps $5,000 for themselves. However, if both try to steal, they end up with nothing.”

‘So it’s kind of a game of trust and honour and dignity.’

Not missing a beat, Albo shot back: ‘That sounds just like politics.’

In this scenario, the adversary of the Prime Minister is an individual named Richard, who is a dad of two from Casula, located in southwest Sydney. Initially, he expressed his intention to share the funds with the Prime Minister, as this would aid in covering the expenses for daycare for his two children.

Richard mentioned, “If we share this cost, $2,500 would cover about a month’s expense for childcare. Every bit helps in our current situation.”

Albo confirmed that he intended to contribute his share of the winnings to the Reverend Bill Cruise Foundation in Sydney, a charity that aids in addressing both the root causes and consequences of poverty.

After initially deciding to share the money, Albo found himself in a quiet zone, only for Richard to cleverly outsmart the Labor leader with a surprising move later on.

‘I will easily steal this money right now,’ Richard admitted. ‘I’m locking it in.’

When Jackie asked about the charity that was about to miss out on $2,500, Richard was unmoved.

‘Who cares? I voted Liberal anyway,’ he said.

Fill-in co-host Cooper Johns then warned Richard to be on his toes after the high profile theft.

‘Richard, use the money wisely because you’re probably about to be deported,’ he joked.

Jackie responded with: ‘It’s now unlikely anyone would believe you if you claimed you took money from the Prime Minister.’
