The Australian public has once again been reminded that Queenslanders have no business being near a Sherrin after opposition leader Peter Dutton accidentally knocked a camera in the head and left him bleeding while on the campaign trail.
The incident, which occurred during a seemingly harmless photo-op, left a cameraman with a bloodied face and the nation with a good reminder that Queenslanders and AFL are like oil and water.
“Yep, we completely forgot that nothing good comes out of handing an AFL ball to a Queenslander..” Explained one staffer on the Dutton team.
“We all failed today.”
The opposition leaders team has scrambled to find a silver lining out of the gaff.
“Although the camera man had to take a bashing, we must remember how many others have been spared by this reminder across the country” explained one strategist.
Dutton continues to refuse to issue an apology to the bloodied camera man.
“What did they expect I’m from Queensland”
“The spin on these slippery Sherrin balls is crazy.. he should have been a lot further away if he didn’t want this to happen” explained the Opposition leader.
In a bold move of damage control, the team is now reportedly considering rebranding the incident as a “teachable moment” in cross-cultural sporting awareness.
Meanwhile, AFL officials are apparently considering a nationwide ban on handing Sherrins to any politician from north of the border.
