Australia’s prime minister issues an apology after making a crude remark about Kylie Minogue. The comments come during a podcast appearance in which he is asked to take part in a “shag, marry or date” prompt involving Minogue, Nicole Kidman and Rhonda Burchmore. In response, he makes a comment about Minogue that is later described by multiple outlets as inappropriate and sexist, drawing criticism from MPs. In his apology, he says the remark was “entirely inappropriate” and acknowledges that it was disrespectful. The coverage emphasizes that the remarks were made as part of a segment that drew public backlash once excerpts circulated. While outlets differ slightly in wording—some call the comment “inappropriate,” others “sexist” or “disrespectful”—they consistently report that the prime minister apologises following criticism and that the controversy centers on the “shag, marry or date” question connected to Minogue.
