Pressure mounts on Walkleys to sever fossil fuel ties

September 1, 2023 11:08

The Walkley Foundation is feeling the heat from a reignited conversation about its commercial relationship with fuel company Ampol, with leading editorial cartoonists withdrawing or refusing to enter this year’s awards in protest.

The recent conversation was sparked by a blog post from the Walkley-winning cartoonist Jon Kudelka, whose works appeared in publications including The Australian and The Saturday Paper.
