Now, Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce and Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull have released their own videos on the Big Game™. If you’re familiar with the sport, they’ll probably ruin the whole thing for you. But frankly, they both seem to explain a lot about both side – and about the pollies themselves.
Joyce’s vid lacks any semblance of PR sheen, but makes up for it with a personal connection to the game itself. Decked out head-to-toe in maroon gear, the Member for New England points out each and every single rugby team he ever played for.
Hell, we know the guy is mad about the sport, ’cause even his website lists “28 stitches across his face, fractured ribs and partially popped shoulder among his firm memories from his time on the paddock.”
The game is actually scheduled for 8pm. Despite everything this writer has learned from the above videos, you’ll probably be pleased to know PEDESTRIAN.TV‘s Sydney and Brisbane crew will be handling that one. With any luck, these clips haven’t melted their brains.
