Anthony Albanese is slammed as the PM reveals his top ten Australian songs of all time: 'What a disgrace!'
Anthony Albanese has shared his favourite Aussie songs to social media.
But it turns out the Prime Minister's constituents are less than enthused with his musical taste - nor his choice to make a fun Instagram post instead of discussing national and international policy.
Radio station Triple J is currently calling for votes for their Hottest 100 of Australian Songs and the PM decide to weigh in on Instagram.
At number one, Albanese listed The Angels track Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again and at number two, Cold Chisel's Flame Trees.
At number three was The Fauves with Dogs Are The Best People and at five, The Go-Betweens with Cattle and Cane.

The rest of the list included You Am I with Purple Sneakers, Hunters & Collectors with Throw Your Arms Around Me, The Triffids with their tune Wide Open Road and Spiderbait's Buy Me a Pony.
He also listed off Midnight Oil with Beds Are Burning and at number ten was Paul Kelly's song How To Make Gravy.
'Hard to narrow down to just 10' Albanese wrote in his caption alongside his list.
His followers were less than impressed, with many slating the politician for choosing to share a frivolous social media post instead of addressing larger issues like the war in Palestine.
'Your PR team going in overdrive to try and make you seem human / relatable… but there is NOTHING relatable to a PM who has absolutely lost touch with his humanity' wrote one person.
'This post is SO tone deaf it is shocking' wrote someone else while one more commented, 'NO ONE CARES what you picks are.'
Another said: 'Seriously??? This is what gets posted??? Far out. What a disgrace.
Not everyone was angered by the post, with one fan saying, 'This is the same guy who hosted Rage, he knows what he's doing'.
One more commented: 'Well done Albo. How about Treaty by Yothu Yindu? It's time!'
It comes after the Prime Minister cane under fire for pushing climate change policy while owning a 'climate criminal' dog by a top columnist.
A US study published in June found that not owning a pet was one of the best ways everyday people could keep their carbon emissions low.
Taking one fewer flight or eating lower-carbon meats were also effective behaviours identified in the PNAS Nexus report.
The finding was leapt on by The Daily Telegraph columnist Tim Blair who suggested Albanese should give up his beloved cavoodle Toto if he is calling for climate action.
'It's time for Albo to turn Toto over to the authorities, because it turns out that little cavoodle of his is an awful climate criminal,' Blair wrote.
'Cavoodle Toto may be way smaller than other "oodle" varieties, such as the Bernese Mountain doodle, the Irish wolfhoodle and the fearsome pit boodle, but she's got one hell of a carbon pawprint.
'That's because Toto occasionally rides on Prime Ministerial flights.
'She's probably racked up more air time than any dog since Snoopy took on the Red Baron.'
Blair quipped that 'it should be curtains for the PM's companion critter' in order to help nature balance itself.
Toto is regularly photographed with Albanese, including on election day, and has her own X account.
The Age even has an an article page dedicated to Australia's first dog.
