Gold Standard
Glen Le Lievre
So it’s just ship, rats, rats jumping, rats have golden parachutes. And that’s it. You don’t need to cover it with symbology. You don’t need to put a caption on. You don’t need to work any blurbs.
- Glen Le Lievre, on his cartoon inspired by the resignations of both the Premier and Deputy Premier of New South Wales in October.
