Alright folks, I’m yet again looking for jobs! I draw cartoons and illustrations, most often for brands looking to succinctly explain what they’re all about.

If that’s you, check out the portfolio below and maybe get in touch, or if it’s not you, consider boosting this post! Thank you all! 😘

The Queensland government has reshuffled its school curriculum board to introduce "a diverse skill set" — including a former Catholic Education director and a founding member of right-wing lobby group Advance Australia. #qldpol

The Advance Australia founder is among three new members appointed to replace unceremoniously dumped union leaders.

It’s not going to be enough to shrug as we reluctantly watch AI inveigle its way into every corner of our lives. It will require people and institutions to actively refuse it, while pointing out what of ourselves we trade away for its apparent convenience.
Love to see community action against this AI nonsense! neighborhoodview.org/2025/11/13/d...

Wow Sussan Ley has changed her tune, here she is 5yrs ago talking about Net Zero like it’s the best thing in the world
“As Environment Minister no one wants to get to Net Zero more quickly than I do”

“Opposition leader Brad Battin previously opposed VAD, but changed his mind to vote for the reforms after personal experiences with a friend.”

I’m a bit weary of Tories who can only empathise when the thing happens to them. It’s not how government, or humans, are supposed to work.

Another of Thatcher’s awful legacies. Our conservative governments followed her privatisation lead, then proceeded to say they were better economic managers because their budget bottom line looked better. All I saw was lost revenue and safeguards.
Keep the red & green tape I reckon. #Kennett #Howard

Prof Graeme Samuel went on to call out the Coalition who are now trying to block the new env laws even though they were the ones in govt who tasked him to review the laws, saying he’s “bewildered” that they are constantly changing their mind.

Australia needs to be less afraid of people seeking asylum, and more afraid of the foreigners wanting to dig up our resources for free.

Access to vaccines is not a privilege — it is a human right.

In @statnews.com today, Stefan Peterson and I write about using a human rights-based approach to deal with vaccine denialism and the return of measles, whooping cough and diphtheria

Kids have a right to vaccinations. Let's bring in the lawyers
Children suffering from diseases that should have been consigned to history is a moral failure. Access to vaccines is a human right.

Thelymitra crinita - Blue Lady orchid

I’ve posted this picture before, but I’m posting it again because I love the contrast between the orchid’s blue flowers and reddish orange of the Aussie bush it’s growing in 💙🧡

The Faragists, backed by Gina, are about to trigger a full blast Australian fear campaign on net zero target and “mass” migration. Resolve polling indicates electors remain undecided on these political pressure points.

like romeo, the liberal party has taken its own political life after believing a fatal lie — that net zero policies have driven up power prices.

This is happening on SUNDAY! Unfortunately, after all his hard work, Captain Quoll won't be walking (see update below) but his team will be. They're aiming to raise $35K & are just under $25K atm.

Let's give them a big push! Go you good Quolls! 🙌

Two things to bear in mind given the words you’ll hear over and over today in Australia: (a) the louder “the national interest” is invoked, the more likely it masks a narrow political interest, and (b) functionally, delay amounts to denial. #NetZero
