Julia Louis-Dreyfus, star of US political comedy Veep, has been left "dumbstruck" after Australia's prime minister appeared to have taken inspiration from one of the show's slogans.
Writers for the award-winning show wanted to create a "meaningless" slogan but PM Malcolm Turnbull has been using the words "continuity" and "change" in a number of interviews.
The line is very close to the "Continuity with Change" slogan used by the fictional politician Selina Meyer in Veep.
"I am dumbstruck," Louis-Dreyfus tweeted in response.
Veep writer Simon Blackwell was more severe: "In S4 of Veep we came up with the most meaningless election slogan we could think of. Now adopted by Australian PM," he tweeted.
