Photo & Cartoon Gallery

Welcome to the House News Photo & Cartoon Gallery. Each week we will update the Gallery with photos from around the House. All photos appear courtesy Auspic. We will also feature a series of cartoons by Canberra illustrator Pat Campbell. The cartoons provide a quirky look at features of parliamentary life and practice. They also appear in About the House magazine and the CD-ROM A House for the Nation.
