Courier sacked over abusing parcel addressed to NSW premier
<p>A courier has been fired after filming himself destroying a package addressed to Gladys Berejiklian. </p>
<p>The delivery driver with Couriers Please was captured on video inside a sorting room, and quickly went viral on social media. </p>
<p>In the video, the man holds up a package that shows the NSW premier's name on the label. </p>
<p>He then talks to the camera and says "Ladies and gentlemen, f**king Gladys."</p>
<p>He turns to a co-worker and continues, <span>“I’ve got a shipment for Gladys. Look, look, look. You know what to do with this?” before throwing it across the room.</span></p>
<p><span>He looks back at the camera and looks pleased with his actions, before seemingly spitting into his mask. </span></p>
<p><span>The courier company in questions addressed the issue, saying it has been made aware of the unfortunate </span>incident. </p>
<p><span>“CouriersPlease has been alerted to a video circulating on the internet in relation to a parcel addressed to the NSW Premier’s office,” the company said in a statement.</span></p>
<p>“The content of the video in no way reflects the values or code of conduct at CouriersPlease."</p>
<p>“The freight handler in the video was dismissed immediately as part of our investigation, and we are also speaking with our franchisees and employees to ensure everyone adheres to our code of conduct.”</p>
<p>The video comes as NSW continues to boast record-breaking COVID-19 case numbers each day due to the deadly Delta variant. </p>
<p>Greater Sydney residents have entered their 10th week in lockdown, which has been extended until the end of September.</p>
