The day after

 

On the morning of 25 November 2007, Australia woke to a new federal government and a new Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd. The change in leadership introduced a range of new faces for cartoonists to tackle, but also left many pondering the fate of John Howard who met his political end by losing not only the election but also his seat in the electorate of Bennelong.

The sun came up after all ...

Jon Kudelka – The Australian, 15 February 2008

John Howard walks along a footpath, wearing his tracksuit. A fence borders the footpath; beyond it are the silhouettes of houses and other buildings. In the distance the morning sun is rising above the buildings. At the top of the image is written 'The morning after...'. John Howard is thinking 'What do you know? The sun came up after all...'.
