The Care Factor
Fiona Katauskas
The 49th Labor Party National Conference was held in Brisbane in mid-August 2023. In Fiona Katauskas’s cartoon, the sessions planned by the ‘empathy coach’ relate to systemic and cost-of-living challenges faced by Australians, with the implication that well-paid politicians may be out of touch with these realities. The Labor government has faced criticism for not doing enough to tackle climate change, inequality and housing shortages.
