Summary
Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese sparked a firestorm after a podcast game where he joked he’d “shag, marry, date” all three women — Kylie Minogue, Nicole Kidman, and Rhonda Burchmore — with a cheeky “all of the above” for Kylie, while also revealing he’d just gotten married. His office quickly issued an “unequivocal” apology, but backlash was swift: female MPs like Zali Steggall and Sarah Henderson called the remarks “entirely inappropriate” and sexist, urging him to reject the game. While some ministers defended him — Tanya Plibersek called him a fan, Richard Marles highlighted the government’s gender-balanced cabinet — the incident underscores how public figures are held to high standards, even in playful moments, and reignites debates about respectful language in politics.
