Pesky conscience. My cartoon in today's @theageaustralia.bsky.social and @sydmorningherald.bsky.social
A political cartoon by Megan Herbert showing a rural Australian setting. To the left a flock of docile sheep exit a barn labelled "Labor Conference" and mill about respectfully. A small, energetic, and noisy dog, whose collar reads "Conscience", leaps up into the lower right of the frame saying/barking, "We need a gas tax!! AUKUS needs reviewing!! You're giving big tech a free pass!! And what about Gaza?!?!". In the centre, PM Albanese, in a moment reminiscent of Barnaby Joyce yelling at his dog as a way to avoid answering questions about his realigned values, whips around to the dog and barks back: "SIT DOWN!!"
