Sketches Of Walhalla October 2016

I made these sketches yesterday at the picturesque historical gold mining town of Walhalla in Gippsland Victoria. I also have a colour picture which I'll post later.

The ABC And The Culture Wars

For non-Australian readers ABC is government funded radio and television whose commentators tend to have a Left Wing bent. Q & A (Questions and Answers) is a forum, invariably loaded with Left Wing speakers and the occasional token Right Winger. The audiences also tend to be so loaded.

AliceCooper Goes To Hell

I found a very old drawing I did quite a few decades ago, cropped it and added some colouring. I think Alice Cooper's albums were the first I ever bought when I was a teenager in the 70s. I liked the theatrics. I couldn't get the whole picture in but here is a part of it.

2016 Australian Election

Bill Shorten, Australian Labor Party starts a  scare campaign that Malcom Turnbull will get ride of Medicare. In so doing he brings former Australian PM, Bob Hawke out of the woodwork to support this campaign. 'Hawky' brought in Medicare but at one stage, to make up funding shortfalls, did suggest a co-payment. meanwhile Bill Shorten is vulnerable to the boat people issue, Mal's scare issue. The Labor Left want to get rid of off shore processing of boat people and so start a new tidal wave of illegal immigrants and people smugglers, so going back to the bad old days of Gillard and Rudd.

Note Hawke's drip; he was a bit of a drinker in his day.
