Surveillance
The REAL implications of the Snowden case! But, really, how many of us didn't know it was happening anyway? It's only in the plot of every second thriller to come out of Hollywood.. To paraphrase Kurt Cobain: "Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not listening in on you!"

Leadership Showdown
Surprised to find it's been THREE YEARS since my last blog entry! Guess there was nothing happening in the world to comment on.. or maybe I got lazy?
To be honest I think the leadership situation is a little more complex than what I've portrayed here, but to the casual observer, this might just look like EXACTLY what's happening!

Ute Gate!
So, the biggest crisis to hit the Rudd government so far is.... a ute that a dealer gave the PM for his election campaign. And Turnbull's riding this one all the way to the stables. It's Swan's scalp he is after, for allegedly misleading Parliament over the affair. If the Treasurer is forced to resign, needless to say, it would be a tough blow for the government, and Rudd's credibility.
My prediction? Nothing will come of this. Howard rode out several crises unscathed. But time will tell...

Chinalco
OK, so New Matilda did publish my last cartoon, only it's not eligible to win as I won the first heat. It could be seen at http://newmatilda.com/cartooncomp/heat-8/ but now the page no longer exists!
Somehow it didn't get published straight away, so it's a bit old-newsy.
This cartoon is all about China's state-owned (naturally) resource giant attempting to double its stake in Aussie company Rio Tinto to some 20%. I think Wayne Swan would have quietly given the deal the go-ahead if Mal Turnbull hadn't brayed so loudly against the notion. Nothing agaist the Chinese, but do we really want them owning a fifth of our largest mining company? It would be kind of funny if they used our natural resources to build military jets and aircraft carriers, seeing as our new defense white paper is warily predicting a possible military threat from China by 2030! (Shades of "Pig-Iron Bob"...)
