Julie Bishop blocks her Twitter account and #blockedbybishop trends

WHILE you were sleeping, Australia’s Foreign Minister Julie Bishop most likely blocked you on Twitter. Has she gone rogue?

Australian Minister for Foreign Affairs Julie Bishop prepares to participate in a forum during the UN 20th session of the Conference of the Parties on Climate Change (COP20) and the 10th session of the Conference of the Parties serving as the Meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol (CMP10) on December 10, 2014 in Lima.

HAS the Deputy Leader of the Liberal Party of Australia Julie Bishop gone rogue?

Or maybe she’s taking her role as Australia’s Foreign Minister very seriously by going undercover?

Either way, you’ve probably been #blockedbybishop on Twitter.

And that hurts.

Where else will we be able to see Ms Bishop’s late night emoji blitzes? (NB: As we’re blocked, all the awesome emojis have disappeared)

However, here’s one we prepared earlier:

Mad Libs is back. Enjoy Ms Bishop’s emojipalooza.

I’m not sure what we’re all supposed to have done to deserve a blocking.

Could it be a new trend for the Australian Government to give people information on a need-to-know basis, as part of some inner circle?

PM: Haha, classic! Block Hockey. Bishop: *blocked* Picture: Gary Ramage

Bishop: Do you think he (Hockey) is upset?

PM: You’d better not block me and Trussy.

(Later that day) Bishop adds to her block list.

Whatever the reason, Twitter has understandably been both intrigued and put offside by Ms Bishop’s latest action.

Looks like I have been #BlockedByBishop. Similarly, I hope to play my part in blocking her from ever becoming PM.
