Richard Ackland's take on The Wilcox Saga:
----------------------------------------------------
Cathy Wilcox's cartoon... has fallen foul of the poodles at the Australian Press Council, who found it "encodes the antisemitic tropes that Jewish people secretly control or manipulate global events. The council considers this imagery was likely to cause or contribute to substantial offence, distress and prejudice particularly to those who are Jewish".
Other people thought it was a cartoon satirising the shouty pile-on demanding a royal commission into the Bondi terror attack.
That pile-on was led by the Moloch tissues [Murdoch media] who campaigned along with elements of the Jewish lobby to have Wilcox put in the stocks for her "Jew-hating cartoon".
It wasn't so long ago that The Catholic Boys Daily was defending Bill Leak's cartoons - one of an Indigenous man who was too drunk to remember his son's name, and another depicting poor Indians eating solar panels sent as aid by the UN. No finding by the Press Council of substantial offence, distress or prejudice in either case.
Cathy Wilcox's punishment is to walk on eggshells.
