Best Australian Political Cartoons 2006
Edited by Russ Radcliffe
'The perfect book for the politically aware … it's great to see cartoonists from papers around Australia pillory our political leaders … The collection is worth the price to relive the year of the Cronulla race riots, corporate greed, lying politcians, the AWB scandal, Iraq, workers losing their rights — you'll smile.'
(Sun Herald)'Long live free speech and free cartooning!'
Lucy Sussex (Sunday Age)'This collection of witty, occasionally hilarious. sometimes magnificently insightful cartoons sums up the year's events as seen by cartoonists from our major, and sometimes minor, newspapers.'
Janet Albrechtsen (The Australian)The fourth edition in this best-selling series finds Australia’s funniest and most subversive political cartoonists at their sharpest and wittiest. Not just a collection, more an alternative pictorial history — this is an indispensable portrait of the year gone and a tribute to the art, power, and wit of our finest cartoonists.
With cartoons by Dean Alston, Michael Atchison, Warren Brown, Matt Davidson, Andrew Dyson, Fiona Katauskas, Chris Kelly, Mark Knight, Jon Kudelka, Sean Leahy, Bill Leak, Alan Moir, Peter Nicholson, Vince O’ Farrell, Bruce Petty, David Pope, Geoff Pryor, David Rowe, John Spooner, Ron Tandberg, Andrew Weldon, Cathy Wilcox, and many more.
