NSW Ombudsman exhibition …

The Parliament House exhibition NSW Ombudsman – Fifty years pursuing fairness for NSW 1975–2025 will be accessible Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm for the month of July. Details about NSW Parliament and the exhibition: https://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/visit/events/Pages/Ombudsman50.aspx

In the 1980s one of my first regular cartooning assignments was illustrating a number of each year’s case studies in the South Australian Office of the Ombudsman annual reports. This led to also doing illustrations for the New South Wales Ombudsman – a number of which have been used in the exhibition and also in the History Report: https://www.ombo.nsw.gov.au/50-years-pursuing-fairness-for-nsw-1975-2025

These were early days and it was real work experience for me.
