Brief Description
Original pen-and-ink (monochrome) cartoon, showing Australian Prime Minister Paul Keating giving a press conference from a podium. In the first panel, Keating says "We are getting closer and closer to Asia...". In the second panel, Keating has been knocked out by a flying cricket bat, with a audience member saying "Especially Sri Lanka". The drawing is signed and dated in the top-left, "Nicholson / 23/1/96". Beneath the drawing, not visible as covered by the mount, are notes probably by the artist, in blue biro, "-----sharp [?] Mark 30 / Tue/ 23/1/96". There is also a tiny drawing in black paint of what looks like a TV handheld camera.
