Malcolm and the trees.

I have always felt that Malcolm Turnbull sees the environment as the best path to the lodge. While current events provide some good press, I think, longer term, Malcolm's ambition won't be hampered too much by these events.

Has Howard ever gone full term?

It may be just my memory playing tricks, but I don't think Howard has gone full term before. He has always carefully selected the most opportune time to go, nothing new in that for any PM, however, this looks like a man putting off the inevitable, or praying for a miracle.

Kevin Rudd releases IR Policy

He was never going to please both sides, however, to upset both is not a bad effort. Actually, it's pretty weak, as everyone can see what he has tried to do.

Kevin Andrews and Trust

They don't get it. After the breach of trust that led us to the Iraq war they expect us to again trust them with compelling evidence provided by our intelligence services. I can't. I accept that Dr Haneef may in fact be someone we should be concerned about, but to date Kevin Andrews, or John Howard and the Federal Police, have said, or done, nothing that would justify giving them our trust.

Some commentators say that John Howard is the smartest politician of the current generation, I can't help feeling he has just come up against weak opposition.

However, if he has managed to get Kevin Rudd to admit poor judgement a sufficient number of times to create doubt in the electorate, then John Howard will have shown his genius. Will watch the polls with interest.

The site is still messy, sorry, I will fix it, eventually.

Not sure what to make of the Kevin Rudd affair. These things tend to come out when we, the voters, need to be distracted from other issues. There has been a lot of commentary about interest rates lately, is it possible this story will divert our attention? Let's see.

It's probably fair to say the cartoons to date haven't been too Laberal, I will try to balance this out. Depends on what interests me the most when I sit down to draw.

Another cartoon. If only Dr Haneef realised that this was all that was required.

I have to apologise for the layout of this blog, it does need a little work. Had a look at the instructions, made as much sense as the instructions that came with the flatpak bookcase that is currently stored in the shed.

Better get a man in. Who though, an electrician?

This may take a while. I'll work on a plan.

This is my first cartoon, based on events in Australian politics today.
