Vicious attacks on Cathy Wilcox for this perceptive cartoon,
including the standard accusations of "antisemitic" and "Jew-hater", only go to prove her point:
The Israel lobby in Australia is, indeed, a lobby for Israel.

It's so hard to find photos of Miss Brooklyn, the Frank Gehry my beloved borough almost got.
“When we were studying Brooklyn, we happened upon a wedding, a real Brooklyn wedding. And we decided that ‘Miss
Brooklyn’ was a bride," Gehry said.
