In light of recent events, you may think that Bronwyn Bishop’s media advisors would have picked this one up.

But in an unfortunate social media blunder, visitors to the speaker’s official Facebook page are greeted with a wide, aerial shot of Sydney’s Northern beaches.

Ms Bishop has been slammed in the media lately after it was revealed that she spent over $5,000 of taxpayer’s money on a helicopter trip from Melbourne to Geelong for a Liberal Party fundraiser, while her two-week Europe trip in 2014 cost Australians $90,000.

The incident, dubbed “Chopper-gate”, has incited angry calls for the speaker to resign, including a Change.org petition that has gained over 60,000 signatures.

• Best Chopper-gate memes
• Shorten spent taxpayer money

The poorly-chosen image on the speaker’s Facebook looks as though it could have been taken from a helicopter.

The photo was originally uploaded in 2012, before the now infamous flight was taken, but this hasn’t stopped angry commenters from flocking criticise the faux pas. At the time of publishing, almost 1600 people had shared their opinion on the photograph.

“Wow this photo is in really bad taste. I thought this was a joke page for a second,” wrote one commenter.

“I’m a long time supporter of the Coalition. I feel so betrayed. The Coalition had their foot on Shorten’s and Labor’s throat and then this … good heavens when will you learn,” wrote another disillusioned Facebook user.

“Was this photo taken from one of your flights!!! Time to go Bishop as the rest of us tighten our belts!” wrote another.

“Bronnie, time has come to do the honorable thing, resign!”

The image has so far racked up over 1,500 comments, with many of the commenters simply wondering who on Bronwyn’s media team was responsible for the decision.

Ms Bishop, who has been put “on probation” by Tony Abbott over her helicopter ride, has admitted the flight was “an error of judgement”, while maintaining that her claim was made within the rules.

The matter has been referred to the Australian Federal Police, but meanwhile, the internet continues to have a great time lambasting the Speaker with “Choppergate” memes.
