Barry O'Farrell's Second Crossing

At the time of creating this cartoon in 2012, the construction of a second airport for Sydney had been a contentious issue for many years. The existing airport had been at capacity and beyond for a considerable period of time and an additional airport was desperately needed. Because of the potential loss of votes in an electorate where such a facility would be established, the then Premier of New South Wales, Barry O’Farrell, proposed that Sydney’s second airport be located in Canberra, the capital city of the Australian Capital Territory, to be linked to Sydney via a Very Fast Train (VFT) service. If approved, not only would the new airport not be in Sydney, it won’t even be in New South Wales. It would be hundreds of kilometers away, in Canberra! I couldn’t help but wonder, when Premier O’Farrell proposed a new harbour crossing for Sydney, if he is intending that it too be located in Canberra!

Villainous Peter Jensen

The Most Reverend Peter Jensen was the Anglican Archbishop of Sydney, Australia. His restrictive, ultra-conservative brand of evangelical Christianity was what drove him to make reference to himself as a villain and an idiot, in terms of popular culture. He opposed the ordination of female priests, the consecration of female bishops, stem cell research, and absolutely anything whatsoever to do with the equal rights of the law-abiding, tax-paying, gay and lesbian citizens of Australia.

Anglican Primate Peter Jensen

The then Anglican Primate of Sydney, Archbishop Peter Jensen, often voiced his opposition to the ordination of women priests and the consecration of women bishops. And what he had to say about gays and lesbians probably doesn't bear mentioning in a polite blog such as this. I wonder what Jesus would make of him?
