He helped me to coax and cajole the disparate threads running through my thesis into a genuinely interdisciplinary project. Associate Professor Helen Ennis, Associate Head of the ANU School of Art, has overseen my theoretical investigations from the outset. The calm and patient demeanour that she brought to her role as supervisor inspired me with confidence and motivation when these were in short supply. I am grateful for her boundless support and faith in my endeavour. My former supervisory chair, Dr Martyn Jolly, Head of Photography and Media Arts at the ANU School of Art, provided clarity in the shaping of my research topic, and guided me through the initial stages of the thesis. At various stages subsequent to my programme transfer from the School of Art to the Interdisciplinary and Cross- Cultural Research programme at the ANU Research School of Humanities and the Arts, he has continued to provide his invaluable insight and advice in informal discussions and conversations. Dr. Tim Brook’s monthly Research Conversations provided a casual context in which to discuss my ‘points of unclarity’ with academic peers. I thank Tim for his energy and enthusiasm in facilitating these most productive conversations. I would like to thank and acknowledge all those individuals at various conferences, symposia and colloquia who reminded me of the importance of this research and offered their thoughtful comments and encouragement. Additionally, I am grateful to the College of Arts and Social Sciences for providing the financial support that allowed me to participate in those events. Finally, I extend my gratitude to my family, friends and colleagues who have, in their own ways, given such generous support throughout this project’s duration. 4 DEDICATION This thesis is dedicated to my mother, who taught me the value of books and the power of words. And my eldest daughter Escha, who was born at the same time as this project. She taught me patience and perspective. And my youngest daughter Saachi. She taught me to delight in the small things. And the beautiful Marcia. Her faith in me gave me the focus, endurance and good humour to complete my project. 5 LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS 1 Petty, Human Contraptions: Government, 2002 80 2 Fazzari, Julia and Obama: True Love, 18 Nov 2011 81 3 Digital video by author, John Howard’s Ultimate Gift to Tony Abbott, February 2010 82 4 Julius, The Crown Prince of Death, c.1915 93 5 Kudelka, Expert Makeover, 14 Aug 2012 100 6 Fazzari, Julia Gillard and Tony Abbott’s Horror Run, 8 Jun 2012 102 7 Fazzari, Julia Gillard and Tony Abbott’s Horror Run, 8 Jun 2012 102 8 Petty, Untitled, 10 July 2010 104 9 Petty, Human Contraptions: Law, 2002 104 10 Petty, Australia at the Crossroads, 19 July 2007 106 11 Petty, Human Contraptions: Government, 2002 106 12 Thurber, Destinations, 13 May 1933 107 13 Nicholson, Rudd to Keep Baby Bonus 550, 15 March 2008 109 14 Nicholson, The Economy Flying High, 3 March 2008 109 15 Julius, Vote Labour, c.1929 (36.8 x 24) 111 16 Julius, The Hun’s Xmas Wail c. 1915 112 17 Leunig, Untitled, 17 May 2006 114 18 Atkin, Chinese Propaganda Video, 20 Oct 2007 120 19 Atkin, Chinese Propaganda Video, 20 Oct 2007 127 20 Kudelka, 5 June 2011 136 21 Kudelka, 6 September 2012 136 22 Fazzari, 8 September 2011 137 23 Fazzari, 26 February 2011 137 24 Petty, May 2012 Budget Money, 9 May 2012 139 25 Petty, 22 October 2012 139 26 Nicholson, Parliament Rescue, 28 June 2012 140 27 Petty, Untitled, 23 July 2006 140 28 Nicholson, Mining Goose Laid Golden Egg, 31 March 2012 141 29 Nicholson, ATSIC Purse Strings, 12 April 2003 142 30 Nicholson, Tony Abbott Hits Wall, 18 September 2012 143 31 Nicholson, What Downer Knew He Knew, 31 August 2006 143 6 32 Kudelka, Johnny’s House, 2002 149 33 Nicholson, Howard’s Climate Report, 3 Nov 2006 150 34 Nicholson, Ugly Johnny, 15 March 2007 151 35 Fazzari, The Polls: The Truth Revealed, 24 June 2011 152 36 Kudelka, Four UnAustralians, 13 June 2006.

The observation that the political cartoon has, throughout its history, adapted and evolved in response to various socio-political and technological changes invites the question of how the art form might continue to endure as a vehicle for subversive political comment in the digital media age.

    Poetry and Public Speech: Three Traces

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by The University of Sydney: Sydney eScholarship Journals online Poetry and Public Speech: Three Traces DAVID McCOOEY Deakin University Contemporary poetry is routinely seen as ‘marginal’ to public culture. As Simon Caterson wrote in the Sunday Age in 2005, ‘Poets have never been more numerous, and never less visible’ (31). The simultaneous ubiquity and marginality of poets is usually noted in terms of poetry having lost its status as a form of public speech. The American critic Dana Gioia, in his oft-cited essay ‘Can Poetry Matter?’ (1991), asserts that ‘Without a role in the broader culture…talented poets lack the confidence to create public speech’ (10). Such a condition is often noted in nostalgic terms, in which a golden era—bardic or journalistic—is evoked to illustrate contemporary poetry’s lack. In the bardic model, the poet gains status by speaking for the people in a form that is public but not official. Gioia evokes such a tradition himself when he describes poets as ‘Like priests in a town of agnostics’ who ‘still command a certain residual prestige’ (1). In the Australian context, Les Murray has most often been associated with such a bardic role (McDonald, 1976; Bourke, 1988). In the journalistic model, one evoked by Jamie Grant (2001), the poet is presented as a spokesperson, authoritatively commenting on public and topical events. This model is supported by Murray in his anthology The New Oxford Book of Australian Verse (1986). In the introduction to this work, the only historical observation Murray makes is that ‘most Australian poetry in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries first saw the light of day in newspapers’ (xxii), before poetry became marginalised in small literary magazines.

    Percy Leason (1889-1959)

    PERCY LEASON (1889-1959) Percy Alexander Leason was an Australian artist who was a major figure in the Australian tonalist movement. Percy was born on 23 February 1889 in rural Victoria, from a large family of famers, he was expected to carry on the family tradition of wheat farming or saddlery making, however, in his early adolescent years he demonstrated an interest in drawing. After attending art school at Nhill, Percy was apprenticed to Sands & McDougall in Melbourne as a lithographic artist in 1906. He soon transferred to the art department where he did illustrations for jam tin labels and department store advertisements. His first major illustration was a poster for Carlton Brewery in Melbourne of Sam Griffin, an itinerant miner, standing at a bar with a full pint, the caption of the poster “I allus has wan at Eleven”, became a famous trademark for Foster beer. During these years he studied at the National Gallery of Victoria Art School under the tutelage of Bernard Hall and Frederick McCubbin, upon completing his apprenticeship he began a somewhat bohemian lifestyle. Leason commenced his illustration career in 1914, later serving on the staff of the Sydney Bulletin as political cartoonist, at this time his career as a commercial painter was expanding as well, with artworks of Gallipoli and the Sturt expedition being bought by the War Memorial Museum in Canberra, and the National Library of Australia in Canberra respectively. He joined the Sydney Society of Artists and the Painters and Etchers Society, in 1918 his paintings and etchings were purchased by The Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney, and at that time he was the highest paid commercial artist in Australia.

    C A R T O O N S F O R A N D A B O U T E V E R Y W O M A N s Liza Donnelly makes clear in her introduction to this volume, cartoons are often designed to make us smile, but they don’t always make us laugh. The cartoons in this volume deal with Aserious subject matters: gender equality, human rights, the education of women and girls, and the role of women around the globe. WOMEN DELIVER Women may be key to cultural stability and economic prosperity, but cultural traditions sometimes lag behind this realization. The cartoons here, which make up the exhibition organized by Women Deliver for their May 2013 global conference in Kuala Lumpur, help us to see cultural taboos and injustices from artists who are living and experiencing these traditions.
