Crisafulli Says Any Boss Who Sacks Anyone For Not Turning Up Tomorrow Is A Bum

With the Brisbane Lions celebrating a back-to-back AFL Premiership, and the Brisbane Broncos now headed to an NRL grand final after ending the Penrith Panthers premiership streak just moments ago, it is basically expected that half of Queensland will not be turning up to work tomorrow.

And if they do, they will be exhausted from the exhilarating weekend of sport. Some may be hungover, and they will be talking about every but work.

And that is perfectly fine, according to the Queensland Premier Dave Crisafulli – who has explicitly stated that he doesn’t give a fuck if people pull a sickie tomorrow.

In a social media post live from Government House moments ago, the Premier said that unprecedented times like this call for unprecedented concessions and “that any boss who sacks anyone for not turning up tomorrow is a bum”

“I know Hawkey said it after the America’s Cup, but personally I didn’t think some property developer winning a boat race in America is really worthy of an unofficial public holiday”

“But for the Brisbane Lions to win back to back flags, and for the Broncos to put the Panthers to bed and send themselves to the Grand Final, well that in my opinion definitely warrants a day of bludging”

“In Queensland anyway. I’m a Cowboys fan, but I’m Lions all day. Plus every North Queenslanders can admit that Broncos match was electric this afternoon”

“Regardless of what happens next week, we get a holiday… But I reckon you can go ahead let the dogs out tonight as well. Because I bloody am”

“I guarantee they will not be allowed to sack you tomorrow. Thats coming from the Premier”
