Politicians seem adept at getting themselves into unnecessarily controversial situations ... presumably because they either simply don't think about the consequences of their actions ... or, they simply don't understand the baggage of notoriety.
Last Thursday, there was a big 'nosh-up' in Melbourne to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the (ahem) right-leaning Institute of Public affairs. Lots of 'big wheels' were there including Gina Rinehart, Rupert Murdoch and political aspirant Tony Abbott. In today's Age newspaper (business section) there is a candid pic of 'Mr. Rabbit' kneeling alongside Roop's chair apparently carrying on a jolly conversation. Except, that the split second frozen by the camera shutter has Roop looking up at the ceiling in a vaguely bored fashion. Probably not true in fact, but there it is ... in the public domain for anyone to ponder their own interpretation of what was happening.
My own cartoonist brain immediately conjured an obedient lap-dog buttering up its master for a treat ... albeit crumbs from the banquet table, as it were(?)
