SYDNEY, July 07 (Reuters): Australian Prime Minister (PM) Anthony Albanese apologised on Monday after making a crude remark about singer Kylie Minogue in a comedy podcast interview, prompting outrage from women's rights groups and opposition lawmakers.
Albanese was asked by host Nikki Osborne which of three Australian female celebrities he would marry, date or "shag" - a vulgar term in Australia referring to sex.
Albanese initially declined to respond, saying he was recently married, but Osborne pressed, asking who he would choose if his marriage broke down, and Albanese replied.
