Unlike many media organisations, Eureka Street doesn't use paywalls. We believe in making the work of our writers as free and accessible as possible.
But there are costs. In particular - and in contrast to many other online publications - we pay our contributors. After all, Eureka Street simply could not exist without the talents, expertise and sheer hard work of our writers and illustrators.
In lieu of paywalls, we rely almost entirely on donations from our readers and organisations that support our endeavours. If you found this article valuable, please consider making a donation. Every little bit helps us in our efforts to bring a distinctive, values-based take on the issues and events that matter in our world.
Hello, I just had to explain that I did this cartoon before the Medivac bill was passed and it wasn't certain that it had Labor support. Happily it turns out the depiction of Bill Shorten wasn't fair after all so the cartoon's a tad redundant. However my comment on the media viewing this as issue as political sport still stands (and sadly will probably be true again). Anyway, seeing as I"ve already done my cartoon, I'll say this in words: hooray for the Medivac Bill and all who helped it pass, and good on Speaker Tony Smith who proved himself a man of integrity in the HOR.
