Toxic Burke



Categories : Australia, Humour, Politics |

If you’re not from Australia (especially Western Australia), you probably won’t get this cartoon from today’s Weekend Australian newspaper, but I thought it was one of the most incisive I’ve seen in a while, considering how toxic former WA premier Brian Burke is at the moment. The biggest question about this scandal is whether it will ultimately force a state election, but the sad thing about that is that even if an election were held, the Labor government would very possibly still win, considering how inept our state Liberal opposition are. Anyway, it makes for interesting news, if nothing else.

(I don’t think it comes through clearly on the image, but the prisoner in orange is David Hicks…)

    Hi Paul,

    Just spent some time scrolling through your blog and enjoying it – thanks.
    I really like this cartoon – WA politics really is in a bad way right now.

    We’ve added you to our blog roll.

    Cheers
