[2016 LA Club] Week 14

[literally lauren]

Background: we're having a federal election in July! It was announced on Mother's Day, and the following cartoons (the first from the day the election was announced, and the second from a few weeks into the campaign) are both from the same cartoonist Mark Knight.

Some side-notes:
- VCAA would never give you two visuals from the same source, and it's rare that you'd need to compare visuals anyway, but this week, I figured the best way for you to test your abilities in discerning the contentions of images was to play 'spot the difference,' so to speak

- The general arguments behind both of these cartoons are very similar, but there are some nuances worth discussing, so see how you go.

- You can refer to 'Cartoon 1' or 'the first cartoon' / 'Cartoon 2' or 'the second cartoon' if you need to compare them.

- For the uninitiated, the two 'heads' in both images (i.e. the eggs in C1 and the guys in suits in C2) are Bill Shorten and Malcolm Turnbull - the leaders of the Labor Party and Liberal Party respectively.
