Behind the Lines is a Museum of Australia Democracy travelling exhibition
2013 will be remembered as a year of challenges for Australia’s political leaders, drama for their constituents, and endless inspiration for the nation’s cartoonists.
In Behind the Lines 2013 the highs and lows of a tumultuous year in politics are laid bare by the country’s most talented political cartoonists including David Rowe, Jon Kudelka, Mark Knight and David Pope.
As the drama of the political year unfolded Australia’s cartoonists observed, dissected and drew us into the moments of tragedy and comedy which marked 2013.
Behind the Lines tells the story of a year of political conflict and chaos, culminating in the federal election, the toppling of a government and a change of Labor party leadership. At the centre of this story sit three political leaders who, more than any other figures, put their stamp on 2013.
