Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has apologized for comments he made about pop star Kylie Minogue in a podcast interview last week.
Albanese appeared on the Bush Deep podcast with comedian Nikki Osborne, who asked him whether he would “fuck, marry or date” Minogue, actress Nicole Kidman or entertainer Rhonda Burchmore.
“Kylie, obviously,” the prime minister said.
One lawmaker said his comments were “completely inappropriate”, while another added: “It’s disrespectful to women and an insult to the office of Prime Minister.”
“I unequivocally apologize for the comments,” the prime minister said in a one-line statement Monday morning.
