Hand holding mini comic in front of old parliament house in Canberra, Australia. The comic has lots of people in historic costume on the cover holding ballot slips behind a ballot box and says "From pub brawls to cardboard stalls: A short history of the Australian Ballot, a MoAD zine illustrated by Eleri Harris"
Canberra friends! If you are keen to lay your hands on a FREE gorgeous, hilarious, fun and extremely educational mini comic, go vote at Old Parliament House on May 3rd. It's about Australia’s greatest contribution to the world, the secret ballot. Way better than WiFi or combine harvester IMO
Sydney friends! I'm coming to visit you TOMORROW to do Read to Me for Climate Action Week 2025. Wed, 12 Mar, 7:30pm - 9:30pm at the Knox street bar in Chippendale. Tickets are free! events.humanitix.com/read-to-me-p...

King George Monument in Canberra, Australia, spray painted with the words “the colony is falling” as protesters pass by on January 26.
If you don’t show up, you are accepting injustice.
I was so disappointed by the absence of my generation at the January 26 protests today.
Where were you Canberra? Tell me you had something better to do than stand up for Indigenous Australians & protest this celebration. 2026 hope to see you there
ARGH SO CLOSE!! books are hard and long it turns out hey??
I’m still here for all your kooky content Meghan 💖💖💖
Canberra friends! I'm doing a live comics reading with Read To Me at Old Parliament House on Friday November 29 at 6pm with a bunch of cool cartoonists
