Anthony Albanese has apologised “unequivocally” for his comments while playing a “shag, marry, date” game on a comedy podcast when he nominated Kylie Minogue for all three categories. The prime…
Yes.
Well, the prime minister appeared on the Bush Deep podcast, which, uh, uh, came out last, or was released last, uh, Friday.
It was filmed at the lodge, and he was asked by the podcast host, Nicki Osborne, who he would, quote, "Shag, marry or date." It is a somewhat of a crude party game, and it was involving the Australian pop star, uh, Kylie Minogue.
Now, the prime minister initially, uh, didn't answer the question, but he was pushed by the host.
We're at rapid fire questions now.
Here we go.
Every guest gets asked these.
Shag, marry, date: Kylie Minogue, Nicole Kidman or Rhonda Burchmore? I've just got married.
I'm only six months in.
But if it goes tits up, let's just pretend.
Oh, Kylie, clearly.
You'd marry Kylie.
And shag her.
And date her? All of the above.
[laughs] All right, so triple.
She's terrific.
All right, that's fair.
Now today we have heard from the prime minister-
[laughs]
... releasing a statement.
In one sentence he says, "I apologize unequivocally for the comments."
What's been the reaction to these comments, Pablo?
Roundly criticized.
Uh, we have heard from the Shadow Communications Minister, Sarah Henderson, who has said that they are disrespectful to women, embarrassing to Australians and demean the office of the prime minister.
She also called it crude, uh, locker room talk.
Yes.
