Anthony Albanese has found himself under pressure after comments made during a podcast interview prompted criticism from political figures across Australia, leading the Prime Minister to issue an apology.
The controversy began after Albanese took part in a light-hearted game while appearing on comedian Nikki Osborne's Bush Deep podcast. Asked to choose between marrying, dating or sleeping with three well-known Australian celebrities, the Prime Minister initially tried to avoid the question by pointing out that he had only recently married.
