All the twists and turns of another turbulent year in Australian politics are showcased in this exhibition.
Drawing inspiration from the wonderful world of movie making, this year’s exhibition features 45 of Australia’s finest political cartoonists. Using humour, satire and pathos, they have turned in star performances to interpret this year’s drama and intrigue, here at home and overseas.
Behind the Lines this year celebrates its 30th year, making it one of the longest-running annual exhibitions in Australia.
