Victorian security teams reportedly met this morning to discuss various scenarios, including crowd booing and the possibility of the PM getting a little too excited during Spinning Around.
Concerns follow Albanese’s infamous Deep Bush podcast appearance, where his comments about Kylie and Japanese Prime Ministerial melons left many wondering whether he should be kept several metres away from both pop stars and fruit bowls.
At this stage, Albanese may stay in New York and pursue a future UN position, or risk being booed while watching Fremantle take on Brisbane.
Kylie was reportedly also offered additional security for suspended Lion, Lachie Neale, but declined that offer.
Security officials are preparing for all scenarios except the obvious ones.
