Bill Leak - Not a Real Cartoonist

What is it with Bill Leak of the Australia Newspaper?

Every so called cartoon is not funny, sometimes unfathomable but almost always hypercritical. For a while there you could not see anything but attacks on the now former Prime Minister.

I get the impression of a bitter man, with no sense of humour, so far left of center that he is almost right, with no sense of fairness, balance or the ability to see anything but a world.

It is a sad statement on humanity and the world of newspapers that he has won has won eight Walkley Awards (for excellence in journalism) and nineteen Stanley Awards (the awards of the Australian Cartoonists’ Association), including eight Gold Stanleys for Artist of the Year.
