Depending on which way you look at it, Mikey Webb is either the luckiest – or unluckiest – interpreter in the country right now.
The popular Auslan expert found himself in the firing line in Brisbane this morxjmtzywning when a huge glob of bird poo hit him in the shoulder and face at a live Queensland government press conference.
Standing next to Deputy Premier Steven Miles, Mr Webb was in the middle of signing when he was stopped in his tracks by the unexpected aerial assault.
The assailant quickly left the scene, with authorities unable to follow on foot.
That said, it was going to take more than that to stop Mr Webb from doing his job.
Almost without missing a beat, he wiped away the mess and shunned his soiled jacket.
He then got on with the rest of the presser like the absolute legend he is.
Mr Webb – originally from Adelaide – has fronted hundreds of press conferences in Queensland over the past couple of years.
He grew up with deaf parents and relatives, meaning sign language has always been a big part of his life.
