Devastated to hear of the passing of political cartoonist Jon Kudelka. As well as being one of Australia’s most insightful and sharp political observers, he was a brilliant artist.
Our deepest condolences to his family and all who knew and loved him.
May he join his whales in peaceful dreaming 💔

In 1977, Don Chipp had a vision to offer Australian voters the choice to support a party with a difference. Today is our birthday. We're still here, and we're still living the same values Don envisioned

The Liberals are fundamentally mismatched with modern Australia
The party is ignoring the realities, identities, and aspirations of the people who will determine its electoral future.

No matter who, it's important to keep them honest
The work is far from over if we keep Peter Dutton and the Coalition out, writes Angela Priestley.
The first step is preventing a Dutton Government. Next comes holding a second-term Albanese Government to acount and remaining vigilant.
