Here it is, via News.com.

Perhaps it makes an interesting comment on Howard's attempts to keep the beleagured Foreign Minister out of the Cole Inquiry's clutches, but the words in the speech bubble--"I want Papua!!

UPDATE:

The Australian's Bill Leak returns the favour, and offers his own thoughts on the perils of political cartooning.
