Scale.
My @smh @theage cartoon.

Single frame. Scale. On one side of scale, weighing heavily, a small gold weight marked “OCT 7 2023”. On the other side, much lighter, a huge bag (of sand?) marked “EVERY DAY SINCE.”

Canaries.
My @smh cartoon.

Two scenes. 1: advisor to Albo at his desk: “Sir, I must inform you that our canaries-in-the-coal-mines of climate change, transparency, accountability and social equity are all looking sickly…” PM: “Hmm…”
Scene 2: Albo at a lectern with press around: “…and that’s why my government is proud to announce the development of a new SUPER BREED of canaries…”
