Leading the way

 

Our lasting memory of political leaders is influenced by how they are depicted in our newspapers. This collection of caricatures and cartoons looks at how some of our major political figures have been represented over the past year. John Howard's announcement that he would continue to serve as Prime Minister was the central issue for many cartoonists.
