Maybe something about a squeaky tank, and being treated very badly. @albomp.bsky.social
TFW you file your cartoon on Trump meeting Albanese then minutes later the meeting is cancelled so your cartoon's redundant and you have to think up a new one ASAP

Trump is sending ICE to blue cities to enact the "largest mass deportation program in history" and Chicago is at the top of the list.
I'm calling for every Democratic leader and candidate to stand against ICE, to call for its abolition, and to materially support immigrants.
Inaction is complicity.

We’re in a cost-of-living crisis, yet Australians lose $31.5B a year to gambling.
The Murphy Inquiry was clear: ban gambling ads. Nearly two years on—still no action.
It’s time to put communities before gambling profits.

The best education systems in the world are 100% public. When every kid goes to public school all parents, including the rich ones, want the public schools to be good. Oh, and its great for social cohesion.
But in Australia, we talk about being evidence based but ignore the evidence all the time

Australia needs nurses, pharmacists, teachers…, but fewer students are starting degrees. HECS debts are too high. Sensible education reform will price degrees on future earning capacity, and support students while they gain the skills our country needs.

Australia's roads are filling up with bigger and bigger cars, fuelled by tax incentives for big utes regardless of what the ute gets used for.
Expanding roads and car parks to accommodate these behemoths would come at a huge cost.
