is that a show of ignorance, or a politician avoiding a potentially damaging sound bite?
I'm not familiar with Australian politics, but in the politics I am familiar with I would be more apt to accuse someone of deception than ignorance.
The politician in the video seems to be purposely ignorant in such a way that drives a stake between the folks watching, posing the question "Well, IS there a difference between addresses and web sites? Maybe the man knows something the reporter doesn't!".
Check out practically any Dick Cheney interview to see that tactic used ad nauseum.
