Junk for Code

political imagery

An iconic image?

I think it is.

The context is a lonely, sombre Labor Opposition leader seen walking towards his meeting with the ALP National Executive. Mark Latham is exposed, isolated and alone, as he heads to yet another debriefing on Labor's crushing loss.

Penny Bradfield, Mark Latham on his way to the national executive meeting in Canberra yesterday.

At the antional executive meeting Latham blamed Labor's fourth consecutive election defeat on state issues and in subsequent days they all jumped on him.

The image was picked up and reworked by Leunig.
