Objects and people: Piles of paper, recycling truck, two workers

Symbols: Piles of paper represent all the policies created to keep Australia British, the Recycling truck represents the new policies the reverse the actions of "White Australia", the two people represent the people putting these new policies in place and enacting them.

Action taking place: the people are are reacting to the large piles of paper

Words: WHITE AUSTRALIAN POLICY, "it'll take years to get rid of this" this helps show the reactions of the people to how much work they have to do.

Message: Due to the years and number of policies that were put in place the keep Australia white, it will take a very long time to retract those policies, create new ones, and then stop feeling the repercussions of these policies.  Because different people have different ways of thinking and opinions, there can be different ways of interpreting this cartoon. However, this was the most obvious way to interpret it.

    Very nicely set up. The information is well laid out and the addition of the political cartoon adds to the blog's purpose.
