A war by any other name. My cartoon in today's @theageaustralia.bsky.social

I'll just say this:

What Australia's current opposition leader Angus Taylor was posting in 2019. What if there hadn't been a concerted effort to kill off vehicle efficiency standards in the election that year? How much money would be saved by Australians today, if Taylor had decided *not* to be a total turnip?

This one’s for @jessicaperthwa.bsky.social, but the rest of #auspol should pay attention too! #renewables

Update on my play, Soapboxed, which debuted on the weekend as a rehearsed reading at the Flinders Fringe Festival. Not only did it sell out, but it was standing room only, and the audience reception blew us away. Can't wait to bring it to full production. 💃

Davið Oddsson, former Icelandic PM and head of the Icelandic Central Bank, considered widely to be responsible for the 2008-11 financial crisis, has died. I'd moved to Iceland the week before the crash and made this artwork in response. Perhaps my first example of compassionate cartooning

JP is so, so good.

When you put it like this, a $75 million bribe to Melania and gutting the Washington Post seems like a small price to pay.

can we put this bobbleheaded man child straight into the sea please

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

And MY dad. Migrated here just after WW2. He worked 18 hours a day, 7 days a week so us kids would have a better life than he had. A peaceful future. Education. He went to an early grave Yes. We’re migrants and PROUD of our heritage We LOVE Australia and would die in her defence

D'oh! My cartoon in today's @theageaustralia.bsky.social (with apologies to Matt Groening) And in case you'd like to know the episode this references, it's "Duffless", Ep 16, Season 4... google "Bart gets electrocuted by muffin" for a Youtube clip of the moment. You're welcome. 🤓)

Thinking of Jon Kudelka and those who are in Tasmania today (awful place, never go there) attending his farewell. So very sad that we will never see another new, brilliant toon from him. Love to his family and friends. 🤍

From the latest episode of Mad As Hell: ‘Angus Taylor’s Brain’ #libspill #auspol

One thing that astonishes me about the Herzog visit is that Israel has murdered more journalists than any other state in the 21st century, and he hasn’t faced a single question about this (to my knowledge) from the Australian media

actual footage 😂

Very pleased to see the brilliant @firstdogonthemoon.bsky.social highlighting this insane new tendency of our nation's media to say that the things we are seeing with our own eyes very clearly in verified videos only "appear" to be happening. It's not alleged or apparent. It's fact.

A fragile, organic thing. My cartoon in today's @theageaustralia.bsky.social

What a perfect tribute, Chris 💔

This is excellent and I look forward to hearing of its expansion Ireland’s basic income for the arts scheme becomes permanent.

Pretty excited to have this legend of Australian TV on board. There are still a handful of tickets left for this, the very first rehearsed reading of my new play. See you there! flindersfringe.com.au/events/soapb...

A new play! By me! About the state of the Arts and the state of artists as we navigate the current state of affairs. But I'm a cartoonist, so it's funny! And a soap writer, so it'll tug your heart strings! Premiere rehearsed reading at the Flinders Fringe: flindersfringe.com.au/events/soapb...

This is lovely theconversation.com/as-beautiful...

and yes, I drew a horse, but then I went back and added a dragon because why not

if *gestures to everything* is getting you down today take a moment to draw a horse and watch it run because in between all the horrors it sure gave me a moment of relief

One of my favourites from Jon Kudelka. The expressions, the JINGLE!, the insufficiency of the mop, the pot plant. Delights me every time

Vale Jon Kudelka - a brilliant artist who knew the power of comedy in holding truth to power, and effecting change.  His work showed a genuine and profound love for people and nature - often funny, often heartbreaking, but always incisive.  Australia has lost a great today.

Very sad to share the news of this legend of Australian political cartooning, and art. Dear Jon Kudelka has died, and we will be the poorer and more dull for his passing. Sending love and condolences to his family. What a legacy of scorching wit and joyful capturing of life he leaves.

Jon Kudelka, much-loved Australian political cartoonist, dies aged 53

This is devastating news. Jon was one of a kind. Blisteringly smart, so funny, his pen so light, his message so spot on. I feel privileged to have known him and to have enjoyed his work. Sending my sincere love to his family and all who knew and loved him. 💔
