Australian PM Apologizes for Disrespectful Comments About Kylie Minogue

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese apologized on July 6 after crude remarks about singer Kylie Minogue on a podcast sparked backlash from politicians across the political spectrum. When asked to rate her during a game on the Bush Deep podcast, he initially resisted, then participated anyway. Lawmakers called the comments disrespectful to women and said they diminished the office of Prime Minister.
