Inheriting the Mecha-Department

Malcolm Turnbull, sporting a tin can top hat (a common David Pope embellishment that alludes to his social standing and his time as Communications Minister), re-appears in a cartoon which also harks back to Peter Dutton’s time as Home Affairs Minister. Dutton is pictured as a robot clutching current Immigration Minister Andrew Giles, whose resignation he’d recently called for. Not long after this cartoon was published, Turnbull called Dutton a ‘thug’ and accused him of ‘division and animosity, generally targeted at immigrants’.
