Nick’s a good fit for job
NEW Hinchinbrook MP Nick Dametto is already flexing political muscle in the State’s Parliament.
And he’s got the gym selfies to prove it.
The new Katter’s Australian Party Member for Hinchinbrook posted an array of selfies on Instagram from Parliament House – including an # elevatorselfie and an earlier pic posing near weights in the parliamentary gym.
“Parliament House gym looks a lot like a my gym but empty,” he posted.
One commenter posted “# freethenipple”, another noted the weights in the gym were nearly new.
Mr Dametto has not been shy of showing off on his public Instagram account, with numerous shots showing him in various flexing poses.
In a later post Mr Dametto said he would continue to post the type of pictures he always had.
“I’ve decided to just post my usual day, some days you will get me at work, some days out on the water or socialising with friends and family, ya might even get a gym shot or 2 thrown in the mix. I’m not going to change or try and be what people think I should be, this is the guy that people voted for and I now understand I just got to be me,” he wrote.
State MP Jarrod Bleijie decided to take a leaf out of Mr Dametto’s book, posting his own # fitspo pic to social media yesterday.
The Opposition eduction spokesman’s comment about pollies in gyms being “the new thing” started a Twitter war with Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey, who fired back: “Mimicking the Katter Party huh? No wonder they hold more North Qld seats than the LNP.”
Not to be outdone, Mr Bleijie accused Mr Bailey of boycotting the gym.
“I guess the only work out u ( sic) get is your thumbs with all your twitter trolling.”
