Consequences. My cartoon in today's @theageaustralia.bsky.social and @sydmorningherald.bsky.social
A political cartoon by Megan Herbert showing two older conservative men having coffee in a busy cafe. One of them holds a newspaper open to an article titled "Win for activists: Coal mine must account for knock-on emissions." He says to the other man, "This ruling sets a terrible precedent for people who want to avoid the long-range consequences of their actions on a technicality."

Huge Congrats to David Shoebridge, he brings the fire, the fury, and accountability our parliament needs right now. I think things are about to get a little bit wild. Parliament won't know what hit it.💥🔥 #auspol

RIP to my home hive - last month they were doing OK, but this month they have suddenly declined and died. Almost certainly a sudden influx of Varroa mites from collapsing hives in the surrounding area, happening a lot lately 🙁

Having spent years as a financial counsellor working with people on low income in financial difficulty I agree wholeheartedly Greg. Poverty compounds health and other problems and makes it impossible to participate in life. The benefit rate reflects an appalling punishment mentality by governments.

No discussion of data centres should proceed without acknowledging what they do: that's OUR data- our identities, our records, our creative outputs. It's not some abstract 'data' plucked out of the ether; it's data ABOUT US.

Choices. My @smh cartoon.
Single frame. Paragraphs of text with small vignettes. First column: “HAPPY NEW YEAR” sign with balloons. “I sometimes think about a time when I was 16 at a New Year’s Eve party. 
Teens drank at parties then, and a log of pashing went on. It was all pretty tame.”(Image of awkward young couple pashing.)
“I liked boys a lot and at this party I got flirting with a guy…” (image of girl and guy facing each other at nigh under party lights.) “He told me he was 22, and I felt very grown up to have attracted his attention. He was surprised to discover my age.” Next column: (image of champagne bottle popping cork) “when midnight came, I hoped to have a New Year’s kiss with him. He gently declined, saying I was too young. I didn’t know what I didn’t know, and he knew better.” (Image of the same two people under fireworks, with man smiling holding hand up as “no”.)
“When I think about young men and schoolboys “getting themselves into situations”, I think about him. And all the choices we make.” (Image two guys laughing walking away from a girl crying, sitting on the ground.) (image of a speaker with “NUTBUSH CITY LIMITS” blaring.)

Don’t ask me. My @smh @theage cartoon.
Six frames. 1. Fellow with clipboard bails up woman passer-by, says, “Excuse me, I’m doing a short survey. Do you think Australia takes in too many immigrants?” 2. She says,”I don’t know. I mean, are we talking about the immigrants who look after my mother in the aged care home?” 3. She continues: “Or the ones who come here to pick fruit for low wages so we have affordable fresh produce?” 4. “Or the ones working in construction to build our housing and infrastructure?” 5. “Or those training to be the medical specialists were short of?” 6. “I really don’t know. Maybe you could ask the government. They should know.”
