Ua faato'ese le palemia, Anthony Albanese, i tagata e maua i le gasegase Tourette Syndrome ona o sana lafoga faatalasua i le maota i le taimi o fesili (Question Time) ananafi.


Na faitioina e le peresitene o le Tourette Syndrome Association of Australia, Mandy Maysey, le lafoga a le palemia, ua faifai ma faatauemu ai i tagata o loo soifua i le atunuu ma lenei to'atuga.

Na saunoa Many Maysey:

"The more I hear it, the angrier I get, that he could be so insensitive. And whilst he has been forthcoming with kind of an apology, it did seem a little bit hollow. He doesn't refer to Tourette Syndrome by name, he refers to it as 'this disability' which is disappointing. He's happy to use the word Tourettes when he's throwing it as an insult, but he's not confident in using it in an apology."
