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…”

Pop science.
My @smh @theage cartoon.

Single frame. Title: Pop science. Man and woman sitting outdoors at cafe. Man (looking at phone): “Apparently, Mozart’s mum took Panadol while pregnant with him…” Woman: “interesting. Ann’s I hear that a constant diet of hamburgers and sycophancy causes autocracy.”

Linda Reynolds may have won in court but her narcisstic and vindictive defamation case has done more to damage her reputation than anything Brittany Higgins or David Sharaz ever tweeted

When all is said and done, the very worst punishment ultimately rests on Linda Reynolds.

There is nothing more terrifying, no more painful punishment that I can think of, that is worse than this for Reynolds . . .

Linda Reynolds has to live the rest of her life being Linda Reynolds.

A bit perplexed at the headlines about today’s #marchforhumanity saying “perilous” and “police feared the worst”. Surely the story is that, in spite of police fears, the march was peaceful, demonstrators full of goodwill and happily cooperated with police instructions to manage the huge turnout.
