The Premier of Victoria Dan Andrews has asked his mid-northern counterparts to please put a fucking ring of steel around Sydney because it’s fucking everything up for the rest of the country.
“Can you please put a fucking fence around your stupid fucking city,” Andrews told media in Melbourne this afternoon.
“Please, for fuck’s sake. How fucking hard is it?”
Media commentators have suggested that Mr Andrews’ outburst was triggered by the Melbourne city-state staring down the barrel of yet another lockdown caused, in part, by the outbreak in Sydney’s vast western districts.
“I mean, what’s the point in even shutting the border if they still come over? I might as well do what that old Leunig cartoon suggests, take my fucking shoe off and talk to it. Put a phone inside it and pretend I’m talking to the NSW Government because I’d get the same fucking answers,” he said.
“Look, another lockdown won’t be popular with the red-faced, obese MCC Members from Kooyong but Christ on a green pushbike, I’m only trying to prevent people like them from dying,”
“But I’m not the problem. We’ve managed two Delta outbreaks but they’ve been caused by embers coming down from Sydney on the breeze,”
“It’s got me fucked.”
The Advocate reached out to the NSW Government again for comment but have yet to receive a response.
More to come.
