Politicians really should avoid going on podcasts.

While his opinion is perfectly valid, that's not the kind of thing you say in a podcast if you're a public personality

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.

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.

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."

More nonsense to keep the lemmings distracted....

I mean that's just regular banter.
