This is Leunig's 2002 anti-war cartoon, which The Age editor Michael Gawenda refused to publish as it was deemed to be inappropriate.

Leunig

The ABC TV Media Watch program supported Leunig and placed his controversial cartoon on its website.

It is also the same cartoon that was submitted to Iran's newspaper, Hamshahri, as the first entry in a controversial contest for cartoons of the Holocaust launched in Iran today by someone pretending to be Leunig. Who would do that?

The neon-cons and Zionists detest Leunig and interpret the content of some of his work as expressing anti-Semitism.

Update:16 Feb.
Someone has owned up posing as cartoonist Michael Leunig and entering one of his unpublished drawings in an Iranian competition for cartoons of the Holocaust as a joke.

Michael Gawenda, who refused to publish the Leunig when he was editor of The Age, weighs into the debate. He says:
<

em>In his public comments, Leunig has said nothing at all about this competition, how vile it is, how racist, how it shocked him that anyone would ever think that he would have anything to do with such an outrageous campaign...not even a moment's reflection on the fact that the competition's organisers thought his cartoon - which is not a hoax - was a perfectly fine entry for this racist exercise.Instead, there is his victimhood, the fact that people have been nasty to him, that "pro-war lobbyists" have made his life miserable and he has had "a gutful of hostility and hate mail all because I have resisted the rise of fascism - the idea of war".
