Gold Standard
Glen Le Lievre
7 October 2021
So it’s just ship, rats, rats jumping, rats have golden parachutes. And that’s it. You don’t need to cover it with symbology. You don’t need to put a caption on. You don’t need to work any blurbs.
- Glen Le Lievre, on his cartoon inspired by the resignations of both the Premier and Deputy Premier of New South Wales in October.
