South Australia has a new premier, and the Internet appears to have a new crush.Labor Party leader Peter Malinauskas, 41, took on the state’s top job last week, replacing Liberal leader Steven Marshall.
But while there are certainly those who are happy to see Malinauskas ascend based on his policies — in Parliament, for instance, he voted in favor of marriage and adoption equality for LGBTQ people — many have taken to social media to praise his other attractive qualities.In February, Malinauskas appeared for a photo op at the Adelaide Aquatic Center and decided to take a dip in the pool.
Seems like a pretty reasonable thing to do.The photos made headlines at the time after then-Premier Marshall criticized him for spending too much time working out, and vowed to cut carbs in response.Premier Steven Marshall has delivered a jab at opposition leader Peter Malinauskas after his opponent was snapped shirtless at a press conference over the weekend. #9News pic.twitter.com/cUiHY7t0bP— 9News Adelaide (@9NewsAdel) February 14, 2022Now they’re making the rounds again, like on this parody account of former New South Wales Premiere Gladys Berejiklian:I would do all manner of corrupt things to get with a man like Peter Malinauskas!
