He didn't "brazenly" sexualise a lady.

Amid a lighthearted interview released late last week, in which topics included Albanese’s dog and gifts he’d received from world leaders, the host asked Albanese in a “rapid fire” question round to place Kylie Minogue, Nicole Kidman and Rhonda Burchmore in a “shag, marry, date” game.

Albanese was initially reluctant, responding: “I just got married, I’m only six months in.”

Osborne replied: “But if it goes tits up, let’s just pretend.”

Albanese then responded: “Kylie, clearly.”

Osborne persisted: “You’d marry Kylie, and shag her, and date her?”

Albanese replied “all of the above”, adding: “She’s terrific.”

He refused to answer initially and then reluctantly gave a pretty tame answer.
