"Dinner time at the Lodge" [Paul Keating dressed as Louis XIV] [picture] /

Title devised by cataloguer.; Published in the Canberra Times on 26 March 1995.; Part of the Pryor collection of cartoons and drawings.; Also available in an electronic version via the Internet at: http://nla.gov.au/nla.pic-vn3510392. Voters send an ominous message to Prime Minister Paul Keating when the Liberals win the byelection for the traditionally safe labor seat of Canberra (left vacant by the resignation of Ros Kelly in the wake of the 'Whiteboard Affair') on the back of a 16% swing. Opposition leader John Howard likens it to the disastrous Bass byelection which heralded the defeat of the Whitlam government.--Information supplied by Geoff Pryor
