A League of One’s Own
From my digital sketchbook, with the Wheeler Centre’s podcast on women’s sport and the AFLW in my ear.

#FreeTurkeyMedia
In the lead up to World Press Freedom Day on May the 3rd, add your name to Amnesty’s call to release imprisoned media workers in Turkey: “One third of all imprisoned journalists in the world are being held in Turkish prisons”.

After five months in prison, Musa has finally been formally indicted. If found guilty, he faces a 29 year sentence.

Unfortunately, some of my Christian sisters and brothers in Wagga Wagga have denounced this cartoon as “blasphemy”.
Everyone at the weekly ‘prayers in the park’ meeting on Easter Monday was “shocked and horrified”.

World Bonobo Day
Something from my sketchbook for the inaugural World Bonobo Day on 14 February 2017.
Includes specimens from Homo Australpoliticus, which remain unknown to science.
