Cohesion.
My @smh cartoon.
Single frame. Chris Minns stands beside a massive tonne weight marked NSW POLICE being lowered by a crane. Visible sticking out from under the weight are hands, legs, a woman’s face, a keffiyeh and placards saying “NO TO GENOCIDE”, “FREE PALESTINE”, “HERZOG OUT”, “NO TO VIOLENCE” Minns says, “Thst should socially cohere them nicely.”

Here we are.
My @smh @theage cartoon.
Two frames. 1. Customs and Border Protection agent with suitcase open holding two pieces of paper, says to man opposite, “President Herzog, we note there’s a photo of you here signing a bomb meant for Gazans, as well as a UN accusation of incitement to genocide…” 2. Same scene but agent is handing closed suitcase to the man saying “Welcome to Australia and enjoy your stay.”

How is he this stupid?

Trump standing up in German-speaking Switzerland* telling the Swiss that if it wasn't for the Americans, they'd be "speaking German by now".

(*yes the Swiss speak Swiss-German, but standard German is their national language. In fact most Swiss speak at least 3 languages)

Media outrage has turned cautious diplomacy into a loyalty test. But Australia isn’t obliged to shout louder than its allies, writes Fred Zhang.

When foreign policy becomes domestic theatre
Australia’s response to Japan’s rhetoric has been framed as a test of loyalty, but the outrage is largely media-driven. Caution in foreign policy is not betrayal – it is a rational defence of national interest.
