Mike Baird is doing a fine job of embarrassing himself and doesn’t need any help from his own staff, thank you very much.
That’s the message NSW‘s Premier made clear in a leaked memo issued to ministers’ office employees after a series of bungles involving social media – including, but not limited to, a policy adviser to Treasurer Gladys Berejiklian being snapped at a Keep Sydney Open Rally.
#AWKIES.
With the subject line ‘Social Media Guidelines’, it stated:
“Don’t embarrass yourself. Don’t embarrass the premier. This includes comments on the federal government policy at any level.”
In other words, no more of this noobness:
The latest Morgan poll shows Magic-less Mike’s popularity rating has fallen by 7.5% (although he still trumps Labor leader Luke Foley by 64.6% to 35.4%), so who knows what impact another string of online bungles might have on the polls.
GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER, NSW PREMIER’S OFFICE. Or, you know, don’t.
