Two teens dressed up as two of the pandemic’s most recognisable faces for Halloween
Two Melbourne teens have stolen the show this Halloween with their couples’ costume: premiers Daniel Andrews and Gladys Berejiklian as we know them best, giving their daily COVID-19 press conferences.
The two VCE students shared a series of videos of them in costume as the former NSW premier and current Victorian premier ahead of Halloween this weekend, with one video of the pair shaking hands and then twerking racking up over one million views.
Two of the videos feature Andrews ‘punching’ at Berejiklian, most likely hinting at the interstate rivalries that have only become more stark during the pandemic. Berejiklian is currently facing an ICAC inquiry into her conduct as premier, particularly in relation to her clandestine relationship with former NSW Liberal MP Daryl Maguire.
A third video features the pair strutting and dancing to the post-lockdown anthem consisting of a remixed version of Andrews’ famous rallying cry of ‘get on the beers’.

@jupiterofpentaclezDAN PLEASE @daniel.andrews we love you
@jupiterofpentaclez@daniel.andrews notice us daddy Dan #melbourne #vce #year12
The costumes look relatively simple - business casual clothing, wigs, glasses, and masks, naturally - but the cardboard backgrounds featuring the NSW Health and Victorian State Government logos really seal the deal, and are an obvious highlight.
User jupiterofpentaclez, who posted the videos, commented ‘please get this on The Project’ underneath one of the videos, prompting people, including comedian Nazeem Hussain, who regularly appears on the program, to tag The Project in an effort to draw their attention.
Being VCE students, the pair would currently be in the middle of their examination period, so what better way to blow off steam than dress up as some of the country’s best known politicians and dance?
