Leslie Nassar created Department of Australia (Hand-crafted, artisanal satire made from the finest Google image searches) in 2014. He was at times a games developer, a producer, a photographer, and a writer. In 2009, he was fired from Telstra for maintaining the Fake Stephen Conroy Twitter account. He occasionally appears on ABC TV’s Insiders with Mike Bowers and Talking pictures.rn rnIn addition to Department of Australia, Leslie is the co-founder of Wrangling Cats Pty Ltd, and created the software that manages the never-ending torrent of Tweets on ABC TV’s Q&A.

This is shit.
Copyright criminalisation is a bad thing, but over-dramatising it like this is just stupid.

I look forward to the day when Crikey’s new cartoonist puts in a fraction of the amount of effort First Dog on the Moon did.

Cartoonist? I don’t think so.
I look forward to the day when some of what this person/these persons produce is even comprehensible; amusement is so unlikely as to be in the unicorn realm. First Dog is almost impossible to replace, Crikey, but surely there must be something better than this obscure and unfunny stuff? If there isn’t, just give it up and leave the space blank. You’ll be saving yourself a lot of money.
