Cartoons of 2003

It was a hot summer, but isn’t it always?

Then we had HOON drivers.

And the introduction of the 50KM per hour speed limit in suburban streets.

The mayoral contest in 2003 was an interesting one. Basically, three candidates put their names forward: Mayor John Smith, Dr. Crowe, who wasn’t even living in Whyalla, and Jim Pollock.
Before the election Jim Pollock pulled out, although his name would still appear on the ballot papers. Despite this, Jim Pollock won the election.

The same could be said of every Federal election. It’s always the fault of the outgoing government.

The housing boom really got into its stride in 2003.

Sydney investors were literally buying up whole streets in Whyalla.

We were still looking for something BIG to attract the tourists.

Senseless vandalism.

There were complaints about young people ‘hanging around’ the Westland Shopping Centre.

Storm water was being ‘harvested’ so the Whyalla Golf Club could begin to green its fairways.

Does Santa really need public liability insurance?

Dust from the Onesteel pellet plant continued to be a worry.
