i may be infringing some copyright law here
or worse still some new sedition law
but when i saw this one during the week i knew it had to be highlighted
michael leunig is a master cartoonist
and has a very decent sense of decency
better still he has no qualms at pointing his finger
at those that are responsible for injustices in our society
and therefore our current pm often incurs the wrath of leunig
no better example than the one above
where 2 grave injustices are very cleverly dealt with in 1 simple cartoon
i can't get the image to be any bigger in my blog posting
so if you are having trouble reading the words -
to the people of iraq
dear people
we have done a lot to bring civilisation to your culture
but our patience is wearing thin
we invaded your country
crippled your society
slaughtered your sons and daughters
traumatised your people
displaced them from their lands
and plundered their resources
but you refuse to co-operate
and get your act together
what's wrong with you people!
last warning -
get a life or go to hell
oh yes
could you do another copy of that
and address it -
to the aboriginal people of australia
brilliantly incisive and sadly accurate
