For a while now the cartoons in the Australian were making sense. The main one mostly had some content of humor or it was clever. I looked at the one in today's edition (Sat) and it had no humor and it wasn't clever.
Instead it was a cynical, sarcastic personal attack on a non-Labor individual. It ignored any of the facts surrounding the issue and used a cartoon format as a thin veil to mask a direct ad-hominem attack.
Yes, Bill Leak is back and the true spirit of cartoons has once again been banished to the shadows.
