Abstract: 

On the morning of Sunday, 10 April 2022, viewers of ABC TV's weekly current affairs program Insiders received a very rude shock: the 'Talking Pictures' segment was dropped from its sacrosanct place in the last 10 minutes of the show. Mike Bowers' regular run-through of the week's cartoons and pictures was shunted in favour of footage of Scott Morrison in transit from Sydney to Yarralumla to ask Governor-General David Hurley to prorogue parliament and dissolve the House of Representatives and half the Senate. Thousands flocked to social media, where fans of all things cartoony could not only watch the unaired segment but also troll away to their hearts' content, questioning the national broadcaster's priorities.
