THE leader of NSW has just revealed himself to be shameless internet troll with a hilarious sense of humour. And his target? The whole of Victoria.

In a sledge reigniting a feud between the two states that has simmered since before Australia federated in 1901, NSW Premier Mike Baird took a pot-shot that proved he was a leader with a sense of humour — and possibly a better state. And he just reminded the world why NSW sat above Victoria on the map.

See, down in Victoria, another state premier, Daniel Andrews, in a bid to make Victoria look a little more interesting, launched the state’s new branding logo today.

Yes, a logo.

Victoria: Best of everything except the sledging.

The groovy new logo cost Victoria a cool $220,000. And it’s catchphrase is “Best of Everything”.

Which, if you’re a New South Welshman might seem a little comical.

The new Brand Victoria campaign was launched to replace a “patchwork if confusing branding” about the state, and, you know, fix everything.

Upon seeing the campaign Mr Baird took to twitter to give his thoughts.

Mike Baird is hilarious. Picture: Bob Barker.

“Offer excludes harbour, infrastructure and sunshine,” he said.

Awwww, snap!

Not to be outdone, Mr Andrews hit back.

.@mikebairdMP You're just grumpy because you haven't had a decent coffee since you were last in Melbourne! But thanks for the free coverage.

“You’re just grumpy because you haven’t had a decent coffee since you were last in Melbourne! But thanks for the free coverage,” he replied.

Enter the mediator — ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr, who is indulging a fantasy that somehow Canberra is better than both Victoria and NSW.

Happy to settle this one @DanielAndrewsMP @mikebairdMP -both great cities but the best place to live is Canberra http://t.co/JqsBv1oj0F #CBR

“Happy to settle this one @DanielAndrewsMP @mikebairdMP — both great cities but the best place to live is Canberra,” he said.

Erm, OK ...

We hope these rivals can sit down for a cuppa to sort this one out. Perhaps they should meet on the state border to be safe.
