Leak should have stuck to portraiture and not being racist, instead of branching out into cartooning and being racist.

All I have been doing is post the tributes made to Leak in the political cartoon thread and it still feels disrespectful.

All I want is for Leak to rest in peace, why are his supporters bludgeoning people with his corpse. :smith:

No wait there is actually a specific thing to describe what Bill Leak did:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disinhibition

tl;dr, the brain damage removed his regard for social conventions and he let his inner shitter out without any of his prior restraint

He was always a lovely person but just hid it better beforehand. :eng101:

Perhaps the checkmate will be the release of a book of all the fluffy bunny cartoon drawings Leak did alongside the full-colour completed racist cartoons to "prove" he wasn't a racist and it was just out of context. No explanation of why editors chose the racist cartoons, etc. And then lefties will have to question themselves so muchly that they get bigly sorry and won't be mean to the nice old white guys.

I reckon Turnbull can get away with going to the funeral and praising him because it may piss off the left and appease Sky News and the Australian, but it goes over the heads of 95% of ordinary Australian swing voters who don't know who Leak is and don't care.

Demoralised WA Liberals face potential headache over Upper House president


A potential problem has arisen for the WA Liberals, already in disarray, with Labor considering offering a former Liberal minister the role of Upper House president.

It is understood the new Government is waiting to see whether Simon O'Brien secures a seat in the Legislative Council, before offering him the role.

If Mr O'Brien accepted, Labor and the Greens could end up with a working majority in the Upper House, based on the count so far.

The president does not get a deliberative vote in the house, only a deciding vote in the event of a tie.

Mr O'Brien, who was first elected to parliament in 1996, was a minister for transport and commerce during the Barnett government's first term.

He was dumped from the ministry in 2013 and was not afraid to criticise the Government from the backbench, particularly on the issue of council amalgamations.

There is deep concern among Liberal MPs that Mr O'Brien may be tempted to accept the position.

Mr O'Brien was contacted for comment.

On facebook I'm watching god botherer far right "Liberal" members struggling with not only that the small l types are in favour of marriage equality, but that they, the opponents, are actually in the shrinking minority. They won't accept the polls, but can't offer a reason why, not even a bad reason, they just refuse to accept that many people could support it.

I just wish someone had trolled his funeral with a speach about the man he really was.

"Many today have spoken eloquently and at length on how racist Bill was, but no one has yet mentioned his homophobia and misogyny. He was also a pig fucker."
