As the saying goes, a year is a long time in politics!

Behind the Lines 2012 looks back on the highs and lows of the political year through the eyes of Australia’s best cartoonists. Their observations of the personalities, parties and political power-plays are insightful, amusing and emotive.

Explore the political year that was: from asylum seekers to leadership battles, and the carbon tax to the economy. It was a year of controversy, crises and sometimes unintentional comedy.

Behind the Lines is open at the Museum of Australian Democracy until November 2013. A traveling version of the exhibition will also go to venues throughout Australia during 2013.
