Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has apologized for comments he made about popstar Kylie Minogue during a podcast interview last week.
Albanese made an appearance on the Bush Deep podcast with comedian Nikki Osborne, who asked him if he would “fuck, marry or date” Minogue, actress Nicole Kidman or artist Rhonda Burchmore.
“Kylie, clearly,” the Prime Minister said.
He was quickly met with a wave of condemnation, with one MP calling his comments “totally inappropriate”, and another adding that they were “disrespectful to women… and demeaning the office of Prime Minister”.
In a one-line statement released Monday morning, the prime minister said: “I unequivocally apologize for these comments.”
