Anthony compared him to American singer Bruce Springsteen.

Albanese said – ‘The last time I saw Bruce Springsteen on this stage. Even then he did not get the respect that Prime Minister Modi has got today. Prime Minister Modi is the boss. He thanked his “dear friend” Modi for “bringing the spirit of the world’s largest democracy to Australia”. He said Prime Minister Modi helped make our democracy stronger and more inclusive.
