Australian Prime Minister Kylie’s comment why the controversy

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has apologized for comments he made about podcaster Kylie Minogue in a podcast interview last week.

Albanese has appeared on Bush’s Deep podcast with comedian Nicky Osborne, who “shag, marry or date” Minogue, actress Nicole Kidman or entertainer Rhonda Birchmore.

“Kili, obviously,” said the Prime Minister.

He was immediately met with a wave of condemnation, with one MP calling his remarks “totally inappropriate” and another saying they were “disrespectful to women…demeaning to the Prime Minister’s office”.

In a one-line statement on Monday morning, the Prime Minister said, “I apologize unequivocally for the comments made to me.”
