You're a Prime Minister, Harry!
David Pope
A day after winning the federal election, newly elected Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was on a plane to Japan for a meeting of the Quad Leaders security group, a diplomatic network embracing the United States, Australia, Japan and India. Meanwhile, cartoonists were finessing their Albanese caricatures. David Pope leans into a Harry Potter reference, with Peter Dutton as Voldemort stalking his every move.
