Anthony Albanese has been slammed after he was photographed enjoying a glass of beer during his trip to Vietnam.
The Prime Minister was drinking a local brew while on official Government business in Vietnam, and had a banh mi sandwich with it.
'Australia and Vietnam are on a roll.
(Australian-trained chef) Sam Tran took me to a local spot in Hanoi today to try a couple of Vietnamese classics,' Mr Albanese wrote on Twitter on Saturday.
But hundreds of posters under his tweets failed to see the funny side and questioned how serious he is about tackling problems at home.
It marks his latest publicity stunt that has drawn backlash after Mr Albanese was blasted for enjoying a beer at the Australian Open in January and a game of tennis in March.

'Gee what a shock.
Albo out drinking always with a beer in hand instead of being here sorting out problems,' one social media user wrote on the weekend.
'Remember when he complained about scomo missing in action. At least scomo wasn't prioritising booze over work.'
Mr Albanese had ripped into Mr Morrison in December 2021 - vowing he would not disappear from the country during its most pressing times if he was Prime Minister.
Mr Morrison famously sparked backlash after taking a trip to Hawaii in 2019 during the devastating bushfires.
Social media users were quick to slam Mr Albanese for deciding to take a trip to Vietnam while Aussies wrestled with cost-of-living pressures at home.
'No masks, no leadership, all photoshoots.
You're just pathetic,' one wrote.
'Your HECS index (rise) just ruined so many lives. You are not being a good man right now.'
A second called Mr Albanese a 'little selfie taking fanboy on the beers. Zero concern about cost of living, or today news actually doing his job.
'A complete embarrassment to the position. If you have any type of questions relating to where and news how you can make use of news, you can call us at our own web page. '
'This is beyond a joke,' a commenter wrote.
'Why are Australians tolerating this? It's all partying and selfies. Vacuous at best, embarrassing.'
Beyond the beer and banh mi, there was a serious purpose to Mr Albanese's visit.
'Ninety nine percent of Vietnamese beer is made using Australian barley, and a lot of the banh mi baguettes are made with Australian wheat,' he tweeted.
