Summary
After Albanese tried to dodge the question, saying he was only six months into his marriage, Osborne asked what he would do if the marriage went “tits up”. “Oh, Kylie, clearly,” Albanese said. “You’d marry Kylie, and shag her, and date her?” Osborne said. “All of the above,” Albanese said. Albanese granted “Bushie”, aka comedian Nikki Osborne, exclusive access to his home for an episode of the Bush Deep podcast, in which he participated in a game of “shag, marry, date” featuring famous Australian women. “Shag, marry, date: Kylie Minogue, Nicole Kidman, or Rhonda Burchmore?” Osborne asked. But Steggall said that didn’t cut it. “That doesn’t excuse disrespect, and actually respect is shown by conduct and actions, not by head counts.” Coalition frontbencher Sarah Henderson told The Australian the comments were “disrespectful to women, embarrassing to Australians, and demean the office of prime minister”.
Furthermore, Australia is famed for its informal culture, and politicians in the country are frequently quizzed during interviews on issues including pop culture and sport. A spokesperson for Minogue did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
