A picture paints a thousand words but if you had to illustrate a day in Australian politics, what would it look like?

There was recently the image of Barnaby Joyce climbing out of an akubra UFO to meet One Nation Leader Pauline Hanson captioned 'TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER'.

That's how cartoonist Matt Golding portrayed Mr Joyce a couple of weeks ago in the Age Newspaper as the MP toyed with the idea of joining Senator Hanson's party.

For more than thirty years, Matt has been coming up with witty ways to draw the news and today he's being named the Museum of Australian Democracy 2025 -  Behind the Lines Cartoonist of the Year.
