Swinging at the piñata, spinning the bottle and bobbing for apples in a year of political party games.
We might be glad 2023 is in the rear-view mirror – but you do not want to miss Behind the Lines 2023: All Fun and Games!
Have a laugh or reflect on the year gone by in the latest retrospective of hot political issues of 2023, as seen through the eyes of Australia’s most insightful political cartoonists.
Whether you live in the city, regional or remote Australia, times were interesting last year – from soaring inflation and climate change to the Voice referendum and international conflicts.
Helping us navigate these complex issues and see beyond the political game-playing were Australia’s established and emerging political cartoonists.
Behind the Lines is a touring exhibition of 100 cartoons, developed by the Museum of Australian Democracy at Old Parliament House (MoAD) in Canberra, Australia’s national collecting institution dedicated to sharing the stories of Australia’s democracy.
A highlight of this year’s exhibition are works by Fiona Katauskas, a cartoonist for The Guardian, who was named 2023 Political Cartoonist of the Year. Judges acknowledged Katauskas’ work for its heart, humour, and diversity.
