Behind the Lines

Museum of Australian Democracy

Behind the Lines 2025: 'Are We Rolling?' celebrates the year's best political cartoons. Featuring established and emerging cartoonists from across Australia, this exhibition highlights the significant contribution they make to cultural and political debates through witty, insightful and often poignant satirical drawings. This year, the Behind the Lines theme is the cinema, acknowledging that, like some of your favourite movies, 2025 has been full of thrills and spills, romance and heartbreak, with plenty of unexpected plot twists. Australia's cartoonists and illustrators have tackled many of the issues that made news, including the federal election, the cost of living, energy policy, interest rates, housing security, the economy, climate change and stories from overseas. The exhibition is free.
