Deputy PM Anthony Albanese says he was only joking about Labor losing on ABC comedy show The Hamster Decides Anthony Albanese has rejected suggestions a Labor victory would be the greatest political comeback. LABOR can win the election, the Deputy Prime Minister said today in Adelaide as he scoffed at the suggestion he had conceded defeat on national television last night. Anthony Albanese put in an appearance on the ABC's comedy show The Hamster Decides and when asked whether Labor could win, he said "no." But this morning while announcing Labor would bring forward funding to upgrade South Road, he said the whole thing was a joke. "I'll give you a tip, I'll give you a scoop - The Hamster Wheel (the shows's former name) is satire, it's a joke," he said. It was a joke ... it wasn't Lateline and I make no apologies for keeping my sense of humour during an election campaign.

Deputy Prime Minister Anthony Albanese answers a question on his appearance on The Chaser's The Hamster Decides. Mr Albanese said the $896 million project would be shelved if the Coalition is elected. The Coalition has promised about $500m towards upgrading South Rd at Darlington .
