Gladys Berejiklian's 'R U OK Day' post sparks outrage during Sydney lockdown

Gladys Berejiklian has come under heavy fire after a social media post about mental health backfired, sparking outrage from residents struggling in lockdown. The NSW Premier took time on Thursday to pay tribute to R U OK Day, an annual national event dedicated to reminding people to regularly check in with family, friends, colleagues and neighbours. Gladys Berejiklian urged her state in lockdown to reach out to others on R U OK Day But the social media post was quickly met with backlash as frustrated Sydneysiders called her out over her handling of the state's devastating Covid outbreak. 'I want to know R U OK Ms Berejiklian, despite what people say about you, you're still a person worthy of feeling good,' one person wrote.
