NSW Premier
Gladys Berejiklian inadvertently spawned Australia’s hottest new meme when she posted a photo of her self watching a tiny TV ahead of Wednesday night’s State of Origin footy gave between NSW and Queensland.
Everything about the photo was supremely cursed. The tiny TV in the distance, the unopened Coke Zero in the Premier’s hand, her awkward posture, the fact she’s bloody standing up despite being in a lounge room and, of course, the fact she posted the photo claiming to be watching the game a full four hours before it was even scheduled to begin.

My favourite commentary on the excitement? The writer Ben Jenkins pointing out that the captain of the first ship to go through the unblocked canal had the opportunity to do âthe funniest thing in the world everâ, by also getting stuck.
