Anthony Albanese failed to recall the details of a major policy at a press conference, on the same day Scott Morrison was again evasive on when he had last spoken to his Solomon Islands' counterpart, during a morning of tense interactions with the media.

Under a barrage of questions, the Labor leader was initially unable to name the six points of his party's plan to improve the national disability insurance scheme, and was later handed briefing notes by an advisor.
