  Most of the heat is coming from the right wing. Who want to abolish childcare, equal pay between genders, abortion rights and other women’s health services and call representation in media woke, etc. They are not champions for women, they just want ammo. It’s putrid.

    Oh yeah, I know most of the outrage over this is manufactured. It would be ironic the people most upset by it are those who hate women the most, if it wasn’t such a consistent pattern

  Yeah not a big deal to me. But he probably shouldnt have taken the influencers bait, and said he’s not going to pick, he admires the artists for their talents but that’s all.

    He initially tried to evade but she pressed - though yes, your response is a great one. I guess that’s what you get for having an influencer/comedian interview the Prime Minister, it was always going to be a little uncouth.

    I refuse to watch it because I don’t consume that kind of slop anyway, but did she give him 3 options? Usually when you do FMK you pick 3 people and have to choose a role for each. From the little I’ve read she just asked FMK of anyone with no qualifiers. That’s being a bad interviewer if you ask me

      I’d never heard of her before. Albo (or his media team) probably thought this would be an opportunity to make him more relatable to a certain demographic. No one’s forcing him to pick an answer, he probably was just thinking he should appear to have ‘fun’ to appeal to the demographic and it didn’t work out for him.

        The only think I know her from is Instagram reels about “what your drink order says about you” kind of crap, but dressed in a Bush Barbie kind of character.

      Kylie Minogue, Nicole Kidman, or Rhonda Burchmore were his options.

        What boring options. It’s essentially the same woman 3 times over. It’s meant to be a spectrum of people with a theme

  Yeah it’s a bit of a nothing burger. He was put on the spot and he answered. No big deal. BTW Kylie is closer to 60 than 50. (58).

    I remembered hearing stuff a while ago about her hitting 50. I knew it wasn’t recent but I hadn’t heard any updates since, and she still looks amazing now anyway

      You’re officially old Tommo when you can’t recall when but you know it wasn’t that long ago but it really was.

        I’m under 40 years old but maintain that 1980 was under 20 years ago.
