Mike grins and Bairds it in ad for Daily Tele
The appearance of a grinning Mike Baird in a TV ad for The Daily Telegraph has caused a degree of consternation as to the newspaper’s political leanings, Dr Mumbo has noted.
Most notably in Junkee which could hardly contain its indignation.
Whatever the rights and wrongs of the NSW Premier seemingly endorsing a specific media outlet such as News Corp, Baird is the not the first politician to unashamedly throw his political might behind a product…
Dr Mumbo recalls how South Australia Premier Jay Weatherill took a break from the mundanity of running the state to proudly proclaim August 30 as FruChocs National Appreciation Day. Yep, FruChocs National Appreciation Day.
In an emotional address, Weatherill said FruChocs is “top quality, tastes great and is a great way to get somebody to do something you want them to do in a difficult negotiation”.
Although for Dr Mumbo’s money nothing beat UK Labour leader Neil Kinnock starring in Tracey Ullman’s My Guy:

How can the premier call for social harmony on the one hand then appear in an ad for the Tele on the other? So wrong
