Barnaby out.
My @smh @theage cartoon.
Single frame. Barnaby exiting a room from which a leg kicks, a hand flipping the bird, another throwing a tomato, an akubra hat and a beetroot flying, and “BUGGER OFF!” and “GOOD RIDDANCE!” Barnaby in melodramatic pose looking back says “Don’t try to beg me - I’ve made up my mind.” In front of him, Pauline Hanson in burqa (dress, legs and high heels showing) arms outstretched, saying “COME TO MAMA!” - eclipsed by Gina Rinehart behind her, long white dress, same pose also saying “COME TO MAMA!”

Exactly the same playbook as with the Voice. “Confusing”…”divisive”. Those fossil fuel lobbyists are working hard.

Someone has asked for a couple of Dismissal anniversary tea towels. I’m about to make an order. Does anyone else want one (they may be around $50 each if a run of 10)?

The news has been coming so fast, I did another later which might not otherwise see the light.

Good for you.
My @smh @theage cartoon.
Two frames. 1. Old cigarette ad with image of doctor holding pack of Lucky Strike cigarettes. My title “They don’t make ads like this any more…”. Ad says: “20697 physicians say “LUCKIES are less irritating” “It’s toasted” ‘Your throat protection against irritation against cough’ 2. Same image except doctor is holding a lump of coal instead of cigarettes, with altered copy in the same style. My text at top “…but they might as well.” Ad says: ‘The Coalition says ‘FOSSIL FUEL is good for Australia” “Just burn it. It’s cheaper than saving the planet.”’

Foreground: Chris Minns on the left, Anthony Albanese on the right, of a large window through which we see a forest of trees, (wind whooshing through and leaves falling) marked left to right: VIC NATS, VIC LIBS (Brad Battin falling out), NSW NATS (Dugald Saunders climbing down) , NSW LIBS (Mark Speakman toppling), FED LIBS (Sussan Ley holding on tightly).

The cost.
My @smh @theage cartoon.
Single frame. Title: “It’s simple” Sussan Let at podium flanked by David Littleproud and Angus Taylor.
