Johannes Leak is one of the cartoonists for The AUSTRALIAN newspaper. To receive his attention in whatever form is to reach the mountainearing heights of political commentary. Usman Khwaja is one of the rare sportsman to receive this áccolade’. Joining Australia’s Prime Minister [on Albanese] as a target is reach the cumulous clouds of public prominence.
For those unaware of the circumstances, note that Usman Khawaja, a devout Muslim, chose to inscribe pro-Palestinian messags on the underside of his boots because any such act in blatant display would have seem him evicted from the playing field. This compromise act was seconded by a black armband …. so his position received news reportage.
Leak’s cartoon was … and is … one of the peaks of news coverage. Usman Khawaja has now become a mountaineer.
