    I would also shag Kylie Minogue. I’m allowed to say that though because 1. We will never meet and 2. She is not my constituent.

    It’s such a non-story though.

    Albanese initially declined to answer, noting he had recently married. But when Osborne pressed him on what he would say if his marriage were to end, he replied: “Oh, Kylie, clearly.”

    Further asked to confirm whether he meant he would marry, sleep with or date the singer, Albanese said: “All of the above. She’s terrific.”

    The conclusion here is that all politicians should go on podcasts, not avoid them. Better yet, have them each host an 8 hour just chatting live stream monthly. Nobody, and I mean nobody, can keep the mask on that long. Also, to preempt the lie that they’re too busy, they must provide justification for missing a stream.

    I’m only being slightly hyperbolic.
