Gelato Messina sledges Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk on social media

It’s in the business of making gelato. But now this company has entered the border wars with an offer to the Queensland Premier.

Australia’s most famous gelateria has joined the Queensland and NSW border war, sledging the Sunshine State Premier on social media.

Gelato Messina released a special new flavour on Tuesday afternoon.

The Berryjiklian is a mixed berry sorbet named in honour of NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian.

The witty staff at the company, which is headquartered in Sydney, shared it on social media with the caption: “Palaszczuk, if you want a flavour open the border to Sydney...cheers bruh”.

The Sunshine State reopened to NSW earlier this month but remains off-limits to those in Greater Sydney.

Gelato Messina, which is known for its out-there flavours and decadent mushroom cake, first opened in Surry Hills in Sydney’s inner city.
