Australia's PM issues an unequivocal apology to Kylie Minogue
Anthony Albanese has said sorry to Kylie Minogue following his recent comments.
Kylie Minogue has received an apology from Australia's prime minister over comments he recently made on a podcast.
Anthony Albanese has apologised "unequivocally" to the chart-topping pop star, after he named Kylie in a game of "s***, marry and avoid" on a comedy podcast.
Asked in a "rapid fire" question round to place Kylie Minogue, Nicole Kidman and Rhonda Burchmore in order, Albanese said on the Bush Deep podcast: "I just got married ... I’m only six months in."
Nikki Osborne, the show's host, then said: "But if it goes t*** up, let’s just pretend..."
Albanese replied: "Kylie, clearly."
The host then sought a bit more clarity from the prime minister. She said: "You’d marry Kylie, and s*** her, and date her?"
Albanese responded by saying, "all of the above". He added: "She’s terrific."
However, the comments sparked a mini controversy, and Albanese has now issued an apology to the award-winning pop star.
Albanese - who has served as the 31st prime minister of Australia since 2022 - said in a statement: "I apologise unequivocally for the comments."
