Australian Prime Minister impersonates Donald Trump in leaked audio

[sarahb 17,188]

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull isn't known for being a comedian but he tried some daring Donald Trump material on a room full of journalists in Canberra last night.

He gave a tongue-in-cheek speech, which Nine's Political Editor Laurie Oakes has decided to reveal, at Parliament House's annual Mid Winter Ball.

Usually the prime minister's address is off the record, but Oakes - who did not attend the dinner and does not believe reporting should be banned at events hosted by journalists - is making it public.

In leaked audio, Mr Turnbull is heard making fun of his meeting with the president in New York last month.

"It was beautiful. It was the most beautiful putting-me-at-ease ever," he jokes. 

He even does a Donald Trump impersonation.

"The Donald and I, we are winning and winning in the polls. We are winning so much, we are winning, we are winning like we have never won before," he says. 

He also alludes to the probe into the Trump campaign's links with Russia, adding: "I have this Russian guy… Believe me, it's true, it is true."

Mr Turnbull told 3AW radio today his speech was a "good humoured roast".

"(It was) light-hearted, affectionately light-hearted," Mr Turnbull told host Tom Elliott.

"It's a breach of protocol, it's a breach of faith and all those things, but it's light-hearted, affectionate, good natured.

"The butt of my jokes was myself.

"It was fun, we've got to lighten up."

The US Embassy said it was not concerned by the prime minister's speech.

"We understand that last night's event is equivalent to our own White House Correspondents' Dinner," an embassy spokesperson said.

"We take this with the good humour that was intended."
