The Project Instagram Account Active After Network 10 Axing

Following Channel Ten's decision to axe the long-running Australian news panel program The Project after 16 years, the show's Instagram account has taken an unexpected and humorous turn. An anonymous individual, referring to themselves as the "social media hero," has taken control of the account, posting cheeky messages that mock Network Ten's failure to change the password from the obvious "Password1" and sharing amusing content such as a video of a woman being knocked over by a box during a Sydney storm. This rogue activity has delighted fans and former hosts alike, including Lisa Wilkinson and Rove McManus, who engaged with the posts and expressed amusement. The Project aired its final episode on June 27 and was replaced by 10 News+, a program that has so far failed to win over viewers, drawing comparisons to other Australian current affairs shows. Fans and followers have encouraged the rogue manager to keep the social media accounts active, with some suggesting the creation of a podcast or online news source to continue The Project's blend of news, pop culture, and comedy. The final episode featured tributes to the show's unique style and impact, highlighting its unconventional approach to news programming.
