The art of political cartoonists has been a daily treat for readers of The Australian since its birth 60 years ago.<\/p>\n

So what better way to celebrate the founding of the national broadsheet than to sit back and enjoy the wit of The Australian<\/em>\u2019s cartoonist, Johannes Leak, with a glass of silky 2021 Barossa shiraz?<\/p>\n

The Australian Wine Club<\/a> has combined with Leak to release a special 60th anniversary red labelled with six unique illustrations reflecting prime ministerial styles, skirmishes and skulduggery dating back to 1964.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t think of a job that offers as much licence to have fun and, in a different way, observe the daily hurly-burly of politics and the national debate,\u2019\u2019 says Leak, pictured below, who took over the reins as The Australian<\/em>\u2019s cartoonist in 2019, following in the footsteps of his father, the late and great Bill Leak.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe best part, though, is receiving feedback from our readers; people from all walks of life who turn to the cartoon most days for a bit of entertainment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re in an age now where there seems to be more and more boundaries of what cartoonists can and can\u2019t say but it\u2019s really a privilege to continue this fine artistic Australian tradition of stirring things up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s Leak\u2019s take on his six political illustrations that are certain to become as cellar-worthy as the wine itself.<\/p>\n

Robert Menzies(1939 to 1941; 1949 to 1966)<\/h2>\n

\u201cMenzies was a man of tradition, from all accounts, so I\u2019ve tried to capture that. He\u2019s sitting back, taking his time, respectfully dipping his nose into his red as he swirls it around. I imagine he\u2019s in an establishment-type gentleman\u2019s club of the era; the world of politics is moving at a gentler pace.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gough Whitlam and Malcolm Fraser (1972 to 1983)<\/h2>\n

In most of these illustrations, it was hard to go past the antagonism between political rivals but in this one I flipped it around. Obviously Whitlam and Fraser were sworn enemies for much of their time in politics but in their later years it\u2019s said they came to enjoy each other\u2019s company. I find it quite incredible that they were able to put the bitterness behind them and find common ground.<\/p>\n

Bob Hawke and Paul Keating (1983 to 1996)<\/h2>\n\n

Here we have Labor\u2019s great political rivals right in the fray \u2013 hand-to-hand combat. Hawke\u2019s thrusting a broken wine bottle and Keating\u2019s parrying with a corkscrew. They achieved so much together but there was always that intense rivalry in the background. A cartoonist\u2019s dream.<\/p>\n

John Howard and Peter Costello (1996 to 2007)<\/h2>\n

I\u2019ve tried to sum up the longstanding relationship: Howard sitting on his throne, begrudgingly served by Costello. It\u2019s Howard the master and Costello the butler. Costello never graduated past being the waiter.<\/p>\n

Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard (2007 to 2013)<\/h2>\n

Maybe this was the most toxic relationship of all. I\u2019ve tried to draw Gillard, reclining after a long day of political hostility for a moment\u2019s reflection. She\u2019s unaware that Rudd is scheming in the shadows with a bottle of poison. You can only imagine what he\u2019s put in her glass of red.<\/p>\n

Tony Abbott, Malcolm Turnbull, Scott Morrison, Anthony Albanese (2013 to now)<\/h2>\n

The last decade turned into a revolving door. This is our last bunch of prime ministers: Tony Abbott is looking pretty unhappy at the state of affairs; Morrison and Albanese, grimacing and trying to look like things aren\u2019t as bad as they seem. Turnbull on the ground, the most sour grape of all; the prime minister that never misses a chance to slag off his former political colleagues.<\/p>\n
