michael leunig is without doubt my favourite cartoonist
his love of the hate of the right-wing of politics is legendary
pulls no punches when in the mode of simplifying and illustrating some point
as in this one published in the melbourne age on this day
i.e. shortly after the liberal party of australia was dumped from office
and the call went up again for the new federal government to make a symbolic apology
to the indigineous people of australia who had suffered at the hands of previous governments
even out of office the liberal party was still divided over the issue
but that may also be true of the new government - we shall see
for those like myself short of sight the embedded text in the cartoon reads
i will not say sorry to the aborigines never ever no no no
no way will i ever say sorry to aborigines
under no circumstances will i ever say sorry to the aborigines
never never never will i say sorry to the aborigines
i utterly refuse to say sorry to the aborigines
how was your day darling?
it was a day of successful goal achievement
and positive visionary enterprise
as usual thankyou dear
...how nice
mr leunig's typically incisive wit in fine form
...brilliant
