Mike Baird Takes Dude Behind Brussels Tweet Disaster On Paid Israel Trip

Wildly popular and well-loved premier Mike Baird has taken his social media manager with him on a trip to Israel to “develop partnerships on medical cannabis research, tech start-ups and tools to better fight cybercrime”, as part of a small staff that includes his wife (probably not staff), Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione, Chief Scientist Mary O’Kane and medical cannabis advocate Lucy Haslam.


I guess it makes sense that the engaging, thoughtful and above all hilarious gems we all know and love from Mike Baird’s various social media platforms aren’t from Ol’ “Lockout” Mike himself, but in fact the product of a highly paid and highly skilled expert.

The social media manager, the unconvincingly named Tony Story, is the same guy behind Mike Baird’s twitter snafu during the Brussels attacks where a draft message of sympathy and support was tweeted with “Tweet/FB option” still at the start, somewhat robbing it of sincerity.

The opposition are furious at what they see as a huge waste of taxpayer money but if you can’t bring someone with you to help you make dank memes while you’re investigating weed in Israel, what can you do?
