Albanese Says He’d ‘Shag, Marry and Date’ Kylie Minogue in 20-Minute Interview

Summary
Anthony Albanese drew headlines after telling comedian Nikki Osbourne he would "shag, marry and date" Kylie Minogue during a 20-minute interview at The Lodge in Canberra.
The exchange came in a "shag, marry or date" game after Osbourne pressed the prime minister to choose between Minogue, Nicole Kidman and Rhonda Burchmore; Albanese replied, "Kylie, clearly" and then "all of the above."
The sit-down began after Osbourne said she DM'd Albanese on Instagram to ask what being a world leader is like, and the interview ranged across social media, world leaders' group chats and his toughest career moments.
Independent MP Dai Le called the remarks "unbecoming of a gentleman," suggesting Albanese may have been trying to appeal to an audience less concerned by that language.
