Scott Morrison and his friends can do whatever they like. [View all]

"So it turns out Scott Morrison and his little friends can do whatever they like. What a shock.

"The law! It sounds like a good idea, but is it? Is it just being used to reinforce existing power structures rather than deliver justice? Yes it is.

"Of course things would be much worse without the law - or would they? If you want to find out what having no law is like, take a quick squiz at the federal government!

"How does lawlessness work these days? However it wants! Whether it's giving millions to mates' sporting clubs in exchange for votes , whether it's using forged documents to smear a political opponent or leaking super top secret information to further your hugely racist political agenda, everything is up for grabs without scrutiny or accountability."



You're not alone, friends in Trump's America. We have a system very like yours. So much so, it's quite scary. Take a look at the latest in the cartoon series from First Dog On The Moon, telling it like it is, in Australia, in America, and in the U.K. too. Which makes you wonder how much of this is brought to us courtesy of Rupert Murdoch and the power our politicians have given him?
