What justice? And for whom? www.thenewdaily.com.au/opinion/2026...

Politicians are outnumbered by lobbyists in Parliament House 15 to one; on sitting days hundreds of lobbyists roam the halls in Canberra, meeting with Ministers to influence government policies. My Clean Up Politics Act would shine a light on lobbyists’ activities.

Bendigo holding the line on invitation to total legend Grace Tame. Maybe doing zionist bidding is finally starting to be recognised as loss-causing reputation-shredding genocide-washing anti-democratic bullshit. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

I don’t know when Labor governments stop trying to please conservatives and learn that even by adopting their talking points and agreeing they’ll still get slammed - SO WHY NOT STAND FOR THE ACTUAL TRUTH AND WHAT’S RIGHT but it’s not today. This goes for appointments too

Make your bed. My @smh @theage cartoon.

Friday Flower. The rosy bluebush is found in southern Australia, often close to saline areas such as salt pans. #wildoz #nativeflora

Grace Tame, sold out. As in, the event she’s speaking at, is sold out. People want to hear her speak. Those who have sold out to lobbyists don’t get to interfere in this. The event is sold out because people want to hear Tame speak. #AusPol

Australians lose more to gambling per capita than any other country in the world, but our politicians continue to take favours from the industry. Enough is enough - this has to be the year when we get gambling influence out of politics, and gambling ads off our screens.

Next month we'll hit 1000 days since the Murphy Report into gambling harm was handed down. More than 3 in 4 Australians want stronger gambling advertising laws, but the Govt continues to stall. Politicians from both major parties continue to accept donations, gifts & perks from gambling companies.

Vale Jesse Jackson. My @smh @theage cartoon.

Bad immigrants. My @smh cartoon.

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. 🤍

Senior journalist Peter Lalor was among those attacked by police at the protest against Israel President Issac Herzog. “We were assaulted on the streets of our town by police itching for a fight". theklaxon.com.au/g2vd

This is brilliant news! Go @michellemilthorpe.bsky.social Would love to see you take this by-election in Farrer! #auspol

If the cap fits. My @smh @theage cartoon.

“Follow the money” is always the answer if you wonder why some people wield more influence than others.

The job. My @smh cartoon.

A red-tailed black-cockatoo in someone's backyard at Sunset Strip, New South Wales. You can tell that this one is a female by the spots on its face.

My local Independent member for Mackellar, NSW @sophiescamps.bsky.social Proud of her, thanks Sophie!

QUT will take over famous literary magazine Meanjin, after the journal was closed by Melbourne Uni Publishing last year. This is a win for all who campaigned to save the masthead, but hardly makes up for the damage done last year www.smh.com.au/culture/book...

Can never get used to seeing snipers on our public buildings live.thepoint.com.au/2026/02/the-... (Photo: @mikepbowers.bsky.social )

Absolutely love @amyremeikis.bsky.social noting each time "The Israeli president, Isaac Herzog, who has been credibly accused of inciting the commission of genocide" Facts live.thepoint.com.au

Wednesday's cartoon in The Mercury Newspaper: Jon Kudelka helped me get my first cartooning job at The Mercury. He also showed me how to be quick-witted and fearless. I was in a constant state of joke-envy over his cartoons. I'm gonna miss that feeling, but more than that, I'm gonna miss my friend.

Worth a mention that about one in five people in Port Augusta and Ceduna are Indigenous.

Grace Tame is catnip to the RW media... female, young, clever, pretty and mouthy... Louise Adler will have to vacate the front page of The Australian, Grace will be getting 5 or 6 outraged male columnists plus Janet Albrechtson writing about how terrible she is.

We'll say it again: "social cohesion", to those who chant it, means maintenance of the status quo which privileges them, and silencing of everyone else. In the mouth of a Labor MP, it is an expression of the deepest hypocrisy.

We knew from the moment we heard it that “social cohesion” would be one of those Orwellian terms which would be used to cover all manner of state sanctioned abuse and deprivation of civic freedoms. It fuels the very unrest it pretends to seek to quell.

Can you please let us know when NSW Police will be releasing footage from their body cams to back-up claims that the peaceful protestors to Herzog's visit to Australia were violent towards Police, @chrisminnsmp.bsky.social. Important the public sees evidence, I'm sure you would agree. #auspol

"This was planned. And Chris Minns owns it ... I was there". Andrew Brown with the extraordinary story of NSW Police brutality at the Herzog protest. While the premier - to great applause - said "Thank you friends" to the Israel Lobby. #auspol michaelwest.com.au/this-was-pla...

Devastated to hear of the passing of political cartoonist Jon Kudelka. As well as being one of Australia’s most insightful and sharp political observers, he was a brilliant artist. Our deepest condolences to his family and all who knew and loved him. May he join his whales in peaceful dreaming 💔

Brisbane rally against Herzog is massive. #HerzogNotWelcome

vale jon..

Lots of white, middle class boomers at the rally in Sydney- not the type who'd usually go to protests. A couple of women near me got someone to take a photo of them to send to their grandchildren "to make them proud"

Vale Jon Kudelka, one of the good ones. Environmentalist & decent human. #Tasmania #auspol #politas

Vale Jon Kudelka; not many better at summing up the issues of the day with great brevity and wit, but also with such vivid, arresting images. A true master of his art.

Vale to an amazing man and legendary, brilliant cartoonist. The cartooning community is in mourning today.

Vale Jon Kudelka 💜

Your government is grotesquely complicit, Australia. But you don't need to be. In times of atrocity, you have a moral obligation to dissent and resist. I learnt this through Holocaust education (somewhat ironic, nowadays). This is where protests start. Free Palestine, free us all

I know almost nothing, but am lucky enough to know people who do know things

Walk away from provocateurs Film them Stay clear of police and their horses

The new Adelaide Festival board is refusing to hand over the minutes of the meetings held as it imploded, despite FoI request. Claims it will take up to 3 months to provide docs –– which is after the SA election. Protects Premier Peter Malinauskas... theklaxon.com.au/nk82

2/ It's out of stock/can't order with many retailers. I bought mine through The Nile Melbourne based, Australian owned business who promote/support Aus. books, not a big chain. Really good communications on a small delay, which I didn't mind. www.thenile.com.au/books/randa-...

I’m very much looking forward to hosting this panel discussion about censorship, free speech and the rise of authoritarianism at the Newcastle Writers Festival on 28 March.
