Matt Golding of The Age won the 2018 Cartoon Quill for his piercing take on Australia's political leadership woes.

Judges' citation

Eight years of history in one topical cartoon! Matt Golding's brilliant cartoon about the dumping of Malcolm Turnbull as Prime Minister and the elevation of Scott Morrison captured a devastating pattern in Australian politics.
