‘Go home early’: NSW Premier on Nova

According to Nova's Fitzi and Wippa, we get to knock off early today.

In comments reminscent of Bob Hawke's post-America's Cup victory statement, NSW Premier Mike Baird yesterday told the Sydney breakfast team that if the Blues won State of Origin Game II, workers should get an early mark.

"I think that any boss that does not let anyone go home early to celebrate the Blues victory is a bum," he said.

Thankfully the NSW team came through for us.

Have a look at the Bob Hawkesque jacket the Nova boys sent to Baird who's pictured with Queensland Premier Campbell Newman.
