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…”

Watched the Surviving Malka Leifer story on Stan. Absolutely heart-rending, what those sisters went through. And just for a change (not), an insular community that closes ranks to protect the perpetrator not the victim. 🙄

Crash and blame.
My @smh @theage cartoon.

Single frame. Blue ute crashed into tree roadside, smoke rising from crumpled car bonnet.. Policeman with notebook attending. Driver Peter Dutton in red cap points to Andrew Hastié behind him in back seat saying “He was passenging recklessly.”

Well yes, and the NACC put a lid on there ever being consequences.

Would you join the flotilla? It looks terrifying... however... www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The Gaza flotilla gives us hope because we can see SOMEONE is doing SOMETHING! | First Dog on the Moon

It reminds us of what people can do even though we have not (yet) stopped the genocide

www.gocomics.com/mikeluckovic... An appropriate cartoon for the day CD

Shows an empty Statue of Liberty plinth and a voice from a boat says “before she was deported, she was a valued member of the community for 139 years).

Ooh #FourCorners what a crooked bunch of bloodsuckers who have our govt by the cojones, those folks in the NRL, the gaming industry and even the body supposedly tasked with encouraging “responsible gambling”.
Time for one of those #royalcommissions to uncover the corruption all the way to the top.

Military Industrial Complex. Read/listen to Antony Lowenstein’s The Palestine Laboratory. Also a documentary called the Occupation of the American Mind. Money is a huge part of it and this will explain.
