Note
This artwork was auctioned at a benefit in aid of the Queensland Free Speech Committee hosted by the Stables Theatre in Sydney on 2 June 1985. Chef des Generalstabes Joh-Bjelke-Petersen is shown wearing an amalgam of the classic stahlhelm and the ealier pickelhaube, with his Wehrmacht style collar nicely offset by cane toad epaulettes. The artist has incorporated a delightful ambiguity in the form of lightening strikes (electricity?) suggesting a rotor attached and turning from the helmet's pineapple spike - this nice touch lightens an otherwise gruesome image. - seller's catalogue.
