Mick Molloy has turn out to be embroiled in one of many weirdest feuds of 2023 after a joke that landed flat in South Australia.
The well-liked footy humorous man on Thursday morning responded with one other jibe in the direction of the famously snoozy state after he was referred to as out by a South Australian MP.
The host of Channel 7’s Front Bar was on Wednesday bizarrely dragged right into a brouhaha by Upper House MP Frank Pangallo.

The SA-Best celebration member took exception to a latest joke Molloy made in regards to the state’s well-known contemporary produce border safety legal guidelines.
The 56-year-old quipped he was going to be smuggling fruit into the state forward of the present’s particular occasion broadcast from the City of Churches. The present will likely be screened from Adelaide Oval forward of the AFL’s inaugural Gather Round, starting April 13.
He instructed The Advertiser: “Keep it under your hat, there may be some outstanding warrants for my arrest over there.
“I love travelling to South Australia. I’ll be bringing fruit over in my boot anyway, so it’s a good excuse to watch some footy as well.”
Pangallo took exception to the enjoyable being poked on the state’s border safety coverage.
“It’ll be no laughing matter if there’s a fruit fly outbreak as a result of carelessness by interstate visitors,” he mentioned.
“Mick can be a funny bloke, but it appears that he has dropped the ball as to the consequences of his reckless joke.
Should others take him literally and bring fruit in their car boots and expose our state to yet another costly fruit fly outbreak, which endangers the fruit fly free status.”
Primary Industries Minister Clare Scriven has dominated out taking any motion and laughed off the light-hearted feedback, in response to The Advertiser.
Molloy on Thursday doubled down on his feedback when talking on Triple M’s Mick & MG within the Morning present — and mentioned he is not going to be making an apology
He mentioned the state needs payback for feedback he made through the saga that adopted NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet’s unimaginable assault on the state.
With South Australia lining up a transfer to take the standard New Year’s Test slot away from Sydney, Perrottet mentioned: “A five-day washed out Test in Sydney is much better than a five-day Test in Adelaide because at the end of it, you’ve spent five days in Adelaide”.
Now Molloy is fearful about returning to South Australia as a public enemy.
“I would like a pardon from the Premier,” Molloy mentioned with amusing.
“The Premier of South Australia, who we only have kind things to say about, except for the time they tried to steal the Test from Sydney.
“This state hates me. This is payback. This is payback for comments about trying to steal the Sydney Test. I’ve had no joy in this state. I was taken to the supreme court once. And by the way can I say I wasn’t very happy with the court room artist, I looked like Matt Preston.”
His remark referenced the Supreme Court’s 2012 ruling that Molloy had defamed Nicole Cornes through the use of a intercourse slur on Channel 10’s Before the Game soccer present. She was awarded $93,000 in damages.
As far as his most up-to-date heresy in the direction of the state goes, Molloy shrugged off the “dumb” argument.
“I think it was a quiet news day in Adelaide. That’s my official comment,” he mentioned on the breakfast radio present.
“Look, I haven’t been there in a while, in fact I haven’t been there since Crazy Horse closed down. If the weight of opinion in Adelaide is that they would not like to attend then the show won’t go.
“And also, I find it a really dumb and stupid argument. I don’t know if he is attention seeking or if he feels everyone out there is as silly as he obviously is, but I’m happy not to distract from what should be a great weekend, a celebration of football.
“I don’t feel like apologising. It’s because it’s a joke and I’m a comedian. Let’s let the public decide.”
