Trouble with my Right Wing, by Mark Knight, is a cartoon in the style of ink caricature. It was published in the Herald Sun on the 12th of September 2025.
Against a distant background of green paddocks and a pale blue sky, a small silver plane flies towards us. Crammed into the front seat, in the centre of the image, are Leader of the Liberal Party Sussan Ley in a blue suit piloting the plane, and Deputy Leader Ted O’Brien, looking worried in a black suit.
One side of the plane dips down under the weight of Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price, sitting on the wing with her ankles crossed.
Brown smoke comes off the plane, and Sussan Ley says, 'I’m having a real problem with my right wing.' In the bottom right corner is the artist’s signature, 'Knight'.
Four months after the election, new leader Sussan Ley was still besieged by division within the Liberal Party ranks. In May Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price said that, should Angus Taylor become leader, she would contest the deputy party leadership. After Ley’s win, Ted O’Brien became deputy leader. Price stood down from the front bench in September after making comments that Labor was intentionally bringing in Indian migrants in an attempt to win votes.
