2nd prize is "ya don't get to go to USA!"


And this is one of Leak’s clever cartoons from a week ago. Aust has announced some crazy plan to send refugees to America via Nauru

There have been some very unkind but realistic jokes made at Australia’s expense over this plan of Howard’s; getting a ticket to the USA will only increase refugees to Aust!

(as Aust is always considered 2nd or 3rd option down for any refugees who do have any thoughts on where they’d like to end up, getting to the USA is not a disincentive) The sense that Aust really does present itself as a major player in world politics is embarrassing rather than funny but Leak’s cartoons can make me laugh
