It was survival or be swallowed by the corruption. Robb knows the greenhouse mafia are about to run loose in the Coalition like a showdown at the Okay Coral. What do you do when you know your side will lose? An intrinsically depressing situation I would say, and a compelling reason to take leave.

And this is truly one of your all time greats. How DO we think about a politician who has batted for so long on the "Unmitigated Turds" team - but who's been padding up and taking the crease daily after dealing with the black dog ? Tough call. I've seen the black dog and it's no fucking laughing matter. Which is what makes this cartoon so excellently superb. It rises like a souffle. Careful, or the industry will give you some kind of award. Then it's all over, Red Rover. Death by irony. No, Doggy you have stratospheric standards !
