Car crash. My @smh @theage cartoon.
Single frame. Scene is outside the UN building entrance (on the right). A couple of flags in the foreground (France and Europe)) Trump getting blithely out of presidential car approaching entrance. Behind him, multiple car pile-up caused by his car with cars marked UN, CLIMATE, DEMOCRACY, GAZA.
Security guards at entrance, one says to other: “Maybe it’s time they take away his keys…”

Stop approving new fossil fuel projects. Get an EPA with teeth. Introduce a carbon price. Then we might start believing you when you talk of Australians climate credentials

NAIDOC 2025: A Voice To Parliament Finally Achieved
A 2 panel political cartoon titled “NAIDOC 2025: A Voice to Parliament Finally Achieved.”Top panel: An Aboriginal Elder with a YES23 badge addresses PM Anthony Albanese. She says:“Can we have a Voice to Parliament — to speak on genocide, systemic neglect, our right to self-determination, and to advocate for our communities with respect and honesty?”Albanese replies:“Uh… well… that would require a costly, divisive, uncertain referendum…”Bottom panel: Jillian Segal, wearing Israeli and South African flags as lapel pins, speaks forcefully to Albanese.She says:“We want to radically shape national policy and gain sweeping powers to censor speech — across education, media, the arts, and public life — to protect a foreign apartheid state currently committing genocide. Highlighting dead Palestinian children makes Zionists uncomfortable. We want that silenced.”Albanese, now smiling with blood on his hands, replies eagerly:“Say no more!!!”

We don't need a more competent, less embarrassing Zionist in this special envoy role. Because the role is to quash opposition to a genocide. Scrap the whole authoritarian project completely, and then, if you want, appoint First Nations elders as an all-forms anti-racism envoy

All eyes still on Gaza. We will not become desensitised.
A screenshot of a photo with red and black text in two lists one on either side of the page. The photo is of a decimated part of Gaza, rubble and destroyed buildings, in the centre is the outline of Gaza in red filled with white so that is stands out. 
Above text from left to right headline says:
All eyes on Gaza in red. 
On the left hand side top to bottom is text. It states:
‘No defence system 
No army
No sirens
No bomb shelters
No border crossings
No food aid
No medicine 
No fuel 
No banks.’ 

On the right hand side from top to bottom the text says:
‘No schools
No electricity 
No internet 
No transportation 
Poor phone signal 
No international coverage 
No airports 
No seaports 
No safe areas
No neighbours to help.’

If one is censured by a nation's Parliament for behaviour officially found to be "corrosive of trust in government", and is referred to an anti-corruption commission for misleading its Cabinet about the "crude and cruel" Robodebt scheme, how is one then eligible for said country's highest honour?

10 years after gas exports from Queensland began, all of the gas companies involved, bar one, have not paid a cent in company tax. This is despite them selling $125 billion worth of LNG out of Queensland, and reporting $330 billion in total Australian revenue. #auspol

ICYMI ABC, please explain. Facts matter. If you can’t get the facts straight please find someone who can. NWS gas is for export. It will definitely NOT help east coast consumers. Australia makes virtually NOTHING out of the deal. Pollution will cause more global heating, exacerbating climate 🔥🔥

Approving Woodside’s Burrup Hub means signing off on 6.1 billion tonnes of CO2 - that’s 13x Australia’s annual emissions. It would undo all our climate efforts and lock in fossil fuels until 2070. Labor, this isn’t leadership—it’s climate sabotage. #auspol #StopBurrupHub
