Joyless.
My @smh @theage cartoon.

Single frame. Doorstop. Reporter to Sussan Ley: “Ms Ley, you claim that you yourself were once a punk.” Sussan Ley, wearing a t-shirt with”NO JOY, JUST DIVISION”, says, “Yes, but I didn’t inhale.”

Back on the Spooky Season path…

#qldpol Townsville, don't forget to vote in the mayoral by-election. Polling day is Saturday, 15 November 2025.

Info at the Electoral Commission Queensland website:
www.ecq.qld.gov.au/elections/el...

A copy of the Townsville Bulletin headlined "'Absolutely Mislead Voters'

Former Townsville mayor Troy Thompson's explosive debate admission that he "absolutely" misled voters has sparked chaos after he later claimed he misspoke".

Contortions.
My @smh cartoon.

Three frames. Intro: “Humans are a funny lot. They make up rules, establish principles, then contort themselves to get around them.
Frame 1: Fellow holding IPCC report. “Science says we must act NOW to save the planet!” Below, same fellow lying down legs crossed, writing asterisk on paper from off stage. “But business and politics mean we just put an asterisk in the legislation.” Frame 2: Same fellow, holding page with FOI, NACC ets, says, “A healthy democracy requires transparency and accountability….” Below, bent over backwards, “still, it might destabilise the nation if they knew what govt got up to.” Frame 3: fellow holding bible, “God says every life is sacred and we must not kill…” Below he strikes an awkward pose, “But God wants us to BOMB the CRAP out of those barbarians.”

Environmental protection?
My @smh @theage cartoon.

Three frames. 1. Larissa Waters behind box marked ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION & BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION ACT, saying, “I don’t like it because it doesn’t prioritise the environment.” 2. Sussan Ley behind same box saying, “I don’t like it because it doesn’t prioritise business.” 3. Murray Watt, holding box turned on its side to show its empty, looking through it, saying, “Looks good to me.”

Brilliant to receive a standing ovation for my Keynote address this morning at the Rural Medicine Australia conference in
Perth this morning on “Why close the gap is fundamentally flawed: why we are failing our most vulnerable”
It was a big room & the ovation went on a while #humbled

I call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage.
This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country.

We're told the online age verification codes will prevent young people from seeing sexual or violent content but it's simply not true. Those searching in a logged out state can still search for this content.

Companies are going to be age checking all of us for nothing!
