Patricia Karvelas forced to apologise after one-word blunder on her live radio show

ABC star Patricia Karvelas has been forced to apologise live on air after her guest used the word 'schizophrenic' to describe a policy.

Ms Karvelas made the apology on Wednesday morning, just hours after Anthony Albanese apologised for mocking Tourette syndrome during Question Time.

'My guest, a couple of guests ago ... used the word schizophrenic in describing policy,' she said.

'I can understand why people are offended by [it] and then I repeated it, and then I can only apologise for myself, of course, and I do apologise for that.'

Ms Karvelas hosts ABC radio national breakfast on weekday mornings.

The gaffe comes after the Prime Minister was called out for a comment he made during Question Time on Tuesday, while answering a question on whether Labor would tax owner-occupied family homes.

Facing interjections from shadow treasurer Angus Taylor who was repeatedly saying: 'Rule it out,' Mr Albanese directed his attention at the Hume MP.

'This nonsense that they carry on with ... have you got Tourette's or something?' said Mr Albanese, drawing laughter from some in the chamber.
