"It's high time we abandoned all this muckraking and got down to the basic issues - " [Bob Hawke] [picture] /

Title devised by cataloguer.; Published in the Canberra Times on 25 February 1983.; Part of the Pryor collection of cartoons and drawings. The election campaign is entering its final phase, and an increasingly desperate Malcolm Fraser turns to scare tactics, accusing Labor of having designs on the savings of Australian citizens, an accusation hotly denied by the banking industry. The tactic backfires, but it does raise the perennial question 'where is the money coming from?' to fund election promises.--Information provided by Geoff Pryor
