Anthony Albanese was asked about the incident in a radio interview with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
He said, "I stepped back one step. I didn’t fall off the stage ... just one leg went down, but I was sweet."
The Australian PM is engaged in campaigning for the May 3 Federal Elections in Australia. On March 28, Albanese officially called this year's election, kicking off a five-week race to the polls. The official election campaign will see Albanese and leader of the Liberal Party Peter Dutton crisscross the country to persuade voters that they are the right person to lead the country. His Labor party is facing tough competition in opinion polls from Peter Dutton.
