The Project’s Instagram page goes rogue following show’s axing: ‘Should have changed the password’

The Project may have been axed last Friday, but its social media page is still up and running – and whoever is behind it has gone rogue.

If you think the NSW Police Force’s social media pages wins the internet for witty, sarcastic and hilarious posts, feast your eyes on The Project’s Instagram account.

The program may have been axed by Network Ten last Friday, but its official Instagram is still up and running – and whoever the clever cookie is behind the page has gone rogue.

“The bosses really should have changed the password from Password1,” read a post shared on the account.

In the accompanying caption, the poster taunted: “Well, well, well, look who is in charge now … It’s me! The social media hero (that’s what I call myself). So, one question: what should I do with these accounts?”

The Project’s social media page is still alive and well despite the show’s axing last Friday.

As of Thursday, the “social media hero” has shared six entertaining posts that have left fans and even former Project personalities in fits of laughter.

“I am SO HERE FOR THIS!!” former co-host Lisa Wilkinson wrote in the comments section of one post.

The show’s panel consisting of (from left to right) Sam Taunton, Waleed Aly, Sarah Harris and Georgie Tunny was axed last month.

“I just assumed the news stopped when we did,” commented delighted former guest star Rove McManus, who co-owns the production company Roving Enterprises which produced The Project.

Meanwhile, former panellists Gorgi Coghlan and Georgia Love left popcorn and laughing emojis of some posts.

The social media page has gone rogue, sharing some hilarious posts.

The rogue employee is also keeping up with the times, sharing a video of a woman being knocked off her feet during the “bomb cyclone” that roared through the NSW coast this week.

“I have nobody to share the silly news I see from around the world with. Shall I just post the things that interest/make me laugh anyway?” read another post, before the anonymous poster shared a video of a woman being knocked off her feet by strong winds.

“We have been off air for less than a week, and a woman has been knocked over by a fridge box?” they wrote in the caption. “You just can’t make this stuff up.”

The Project said it’s final goodbye on Friday after 16 years on air. The show was replaced by 10 News+, which debuted on Monday this week but failed to impress viewers.

10 News+ had received an intense marketing blitz over the last few weeks as Network 10 made its bid to win over new viewers with their promise of putting “the truth first”.

Sadly for the network, that promise wasn’t enough to win views, with a mere 291,000 tuning in on Monday evening.

For perspective, 7News attracted 1.5 million viewers, with 9News close behind with 1.45 million.

Notably, the final episode of The Project scored almost 500,000 viewers on Friday evening.

“You replaced the project with a Temu ACA not seeing @theprojecttv is incredibly depressing. 10news+ sucks!” remarked one viewer.

But another viewer welcomed the change, writing: “Loving 10 news +, strong launch story … 10 news should be very proud.”
