 Pope:  Nationals leader David Littleproud and (also Nat) shadow infrastructure minister Bridget McKenzie. Labor is cutting "rorts and waste" by axing a bunch of Morrison's grants in which a large amount went to Nationals seats. Le Lievre:  Based on Tom Roberts' Shearing the Rams. Wilcox has a bunch of budget cartoons:    Wage growth won't rise to meet inflation until at least next year. Warren Brown:  Lethbridge:  Spooner:

Renting half a bed was very common for working class people in cities in the 1800s. Wages were terrible and rooms were expensive.

Rall: The Difference between Doing Nothing and Barely Anything Ted Rall posted:Like many of his initiatives, President Biden’s action on high gas prices is almost 100% symbolic. It will have no significant impact at the pump. You could argue that it’s better than doing nothing, but arithmetic says something else.

Trapezium Dave posted:Rall: The Difference between Doing Nothing and Barely Anything Hrm… So what action does Rall think that Biden should take that would be effective? Invade Saudi Arabia and seize the oil fields? Bold of Rall, nearly 20 years after the invasion of Iraq, to now advocate a “blood for oil” policy position.

I think the interpretation depends on whether the dad is a transman who is still okay with wearing feminine garb, or if he is a cis man who just likes to wear feminine clothes. If it's the former then it's a non-sequiter but if it's the latter then it's an anti-cd/drag cartoon. Maybe the cartoonist wanted to depict a transwoman, but then I think the child would refer to her as mom.

The parent is a transwoman*, and the implication is that being a transwoman is the same as doing blackface. The kicker of course if that the joke hinges on the cartoonist (or the reader) not understanding what the meaning of "caricature" is. *Called dad because

It reminds me of how Andrew Yang's boondoggle had a talking head giving an interview and talked about "working together to find solutions" and never gave an actual concrete answer to "what are you actual loving policies, what would you do if actually elected," even when given very specific topics about which to have policies.

Candidates needed to pass a high threshold of nominations from sitting Members of Parliament, and then it would have gone to a vote of the party members. The party members love Boris and he would likely have won that in a landslide against Sunak (at least partially because the membership are a bunch of racists), but it didn't go to them - not enough MPs wanted to deal with Boris as PM again to nominate him. Sunak's filled his cabinet with a bunch of far-right culture war assholes though so it's not like he's much better from a policy perspective

By popular demand posted:I can only imagine how deranged things have gotten at the conservative party that they allowed a minority to rise up. So the way I always try to explain it is this: British conservatives are very racist, and they are very sexist. But both of these are only sidelines to their actual primary prejudice: They are extremely classist. Rishi Sunak went to the right schools, he talks in the right way, and he has a lot of money. That makes him "one of us" for most conservatives in and around UK politics: Going to Winchester and studying PPE at Oxford mark you as one of the political class, and that is the only thing that matters. That's why no-one is talking about this like it's an Obama situation; his leadership isn't overturning prejudices, it's 100% in line with them. This doesn't mean they won't still be incredibly racist whenever they want to criticise him, or even just out of habit. Especially conservatives like Mac who support the party despite not being in that social class.

Nah, because in the mind of Lester and the rest of the TERFs, the transfolk don't actually "want" to be the gender they say they are. If it's a trans woman, then obviously it's just a pervert in drag who wants to watch your daughters change in the locker room. If it's a trans man, then it's a poor innocent tomboy who was coerced and bamboozled into transitioning. In either case, they don't truly identify with their professed gender identity, it's either a means to an end or a symptom of Woke Lib Cancel Culture The Swamp Groomers confusing them.

Don't forget "he's just a wimpy pathetic soyboy who can't make it in men's sports but wants to dominate women's sports." I only remembered that one because right wing media was talking about a high school volleyball match in North Carolina where a trans girl player spiked a ball into the face of a girl on the opposing team. So the usual "Biological men are too strong to compete in women's sports, what if it was YOUR daughter who was injured by a biological man!" took place. Though of course, I'm sure they think she's also a pervert as well, that's just not the angle they're using to attack her in this instance.

Most cartoons are budget based, so I'll run a few non-budget ones first: Downes:  Cruise ships return to Tasmania for the first time since COVID ban despite new cases on WA liner (ABC). Golding:  ABC's five-decade partnership with Doctor Who ends after BBC confirms Disney+ deal from 2023 (ABC). Now for the budget cartoons: Pope:  The general vibe of the budget objective. Wilcox:  One million homes to be built under agreement with states and investors (SMH). Le Lievre:  Rowe:  Jim Chalmers said he wants the budget to lead into a "national conversation" about how to fund services (leaving open potential tax reform). The lead focus in many papers - more obvious as the cartoons go News Corp below - is rising power prices. Also cartoonists love drawing dragons. Knight:  Lethbridge:  Warren Brown:  Leak, Son of Leak:
