"I would have sex with her" - Australian Prime Minister apologizes after comments about the famous singer

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has apologized for comments he made about pop star Kylie Minogue in an interview last week.

The leader had appeared on the Bush Deep podcast with comedian Nikki Osborne, who asked him during a 20-minute interview whether he would "have sex, marry or date" Minogue, actress Nicole Kidman or entertainer Rhonda Burchmore.

After initially trying to avoid the question, Albanese said, "Oh, Kylie, of course."

He was quickly met with a wave of criticism, with one MP calling his comments “completely inappropriate”, and another adding that they were “indecent towards women… and demeaning to the Prime Minister’s office.”

Osborne, who is best known for posting raunchy comedic skits on YouTube, had launched her podcast series earlier this year.

Her podcast page describes her as an “extremely inappropriate journalist” who asks “questions no one else would dare.”

In a one-line statement released early Monday, the prime minister said: "I apologize unequivocally for the comments."

The remarks were made during an interview that took place at the prime minister's official residence in Canberra and which was published late last week.

After Osborne first popped the question, Albanese, who married his partner Jodie Haydon in November, initially replied: "I just got married, I've only been married for six months."

But after being pushed by Osborne, he added: "Oh, Kylie, definitely."

"Would you marry Kylie, have sex with her, and date her?" Osborne said.

“All of the above,” Albanese said. “She’s fantastic.”

Strong Community MP Zali Steggall said the comments were "completely inappropriate", adding that he "needs to learn to object, lead by example and call this out as sexist".

Shadow Communications Minister Sarah Henderson said in a post on X that the comments were "disrespectful to women, embarrassing to Australians and demeaning to the Prime Minister's office".

Richard Marles, who is acting prime minister while Albanese is on a visit to the Pacific, told the ABC news agency that the government was "fully committed" to the upliftment of women in society.

"From time to time, we obviously do different interviews than what we are doing now, but I think the other point to emphasize here is that the government led by the Prime Minister is the first in history to have equality in the number of men and women in the cabinet," Marles said on the broadcaster's National Radio program.
