Gladys Berejiklian and Arthur Moses: Theories emerge as to why they went public

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian and senior barrister Arthur Moses SC confirmed their relationship and now theories are circulating about what their celebrity couple name should be.

So, Premier Gladys Berejiklian and barrister Arthur Moses SC confirmed the rumours on Friday that had been circulating for months – they’re romancing.

So what do we call them now?

In the tradition of blended celebrity couple names – like “Brangelina” from the former union of Hollywood superstars Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie – modern convention dictates that Ms Berejiklian and Mr Moses must now have their names mashed to be known as a single entity.

Snitch is torn.

Should it be something short and snappy, like Jik-Mo? Or maybe something more traditional, like Glarthur.

The possibilities are almost endless. G-Mo, A-Glad, Mo-Bere, Merejiklian, Gloses, Mo-Jikkers.

IN FULL CONTROL

In this modern age of political PR management where nothing is left to chance, numerous theories are emerging as to why Ms Berejiklian and Mr Moses went public with their relationship.

The hot tip in political circles was that the media had been circling for months and it was better for the couple to control the narrative with the release of a staged photo via Ms Berejiklian’s sister Mary’s Instagram account.

The talk in legal circles has included speculation that it could have been to avoid any distracting PR for Mr Moses at a time when he is representing former soldier Ben Roberts-Smith in his defamation case against Nine.

That case has already been sidetracked after the judge hearing the case demanded answers in response to media reports that Mr Roberts-Smith may have been in “a personal relationship” with his other lawyer in the case, Monica Allen.

Mr Roberts-Smith has denied those claims.

It’s not a stretch to theorise that Mr Moses might be concerned that any reporting on his relationship could become a distraction when he is trying to concentrate on the case.

TATT’S ALL FOLKS

Tattoos are tricky things – once they are on, they don’t come off easily.

Which brings us to ex-Brothers for Life gang member Omar Ajaj who was pictured outside the home of slain gangster Bilal Hamze on Friday.

Ajaj hit the headlines some years ago because of the large tattoo on his neck that says “MEOC”.

It was a taunt at the police squad known as the Middle Eastern Organised Crime Squad. Ajaj’s tattoo was minus the “S”, suggesting that while the police were the Middle Eastern Organised Crime Squad, he was the Middle Eastern Organised Crime.

But MEOCS was disbanded in 2017, leaving us wondering if Ajaj’s tattoo has lost some of its meaning.

It’s like the Road Runner with no Wile E. Coyote.
