Description: Cartoon shows a mock menu for the 'B Rough and Ready Restaurant', referencing a menu created by Brisbane restaurant owner Joe Richards, which featured an item called "Julia Gillard Kentucky Fried Quail." It is believed that the menu - described as including "small breasts, huge thighs and a big red box" - was intended for a Liberal National Party fundraising dinner to benefit candidate Mal Brough. Julia Gillard, Australia's first female Prime Minister, has faced rampant sexism throughout her term as Prime Minister, and stated that the menu showed a 'lack of respect for women.' (See The Guardian,12 June 2013). Commentary from the artist reads 'The sexually depraved menu linked to Australian Liberal Mal Brough's campaign in Queensland is the mark of someone (and maybe a party) that does not deserve to become the government on 14 September.'
