Gladys Berijiklian celebrates dad’s birthday with rare baby snap
The NSW Premier has shared a previously unseen snap of herself as a baby with her father in celebration of his 89th birthday.
Sharing the image of herself as a curly-haired toddler being held by her father on social media, Gladys Berijiklian captioned the post: “Happy 89th dad!”
The post has since been flooded with comments wishing the Premier’s dad a happy birthday, while other commenters noticed their similarities.
“A spitting image of her dad,” one wrote.
“Happy birthday to your dear dad. Your daughter is the best premier ever,” another person commented.
This comes after Ms Berejiklian made headlines for her social media activity ahead of the first State of Origin game on Wednesday.
The bizarre picture showed Ms Berejiklian in a NSW Blues scarf and beanie while holding a can of Coke No Sugar and watching a tiny television fixed on a distant wall.
