It's great to see that the Pianola is not dead, as appears in the
cartoon on page 23 of the Sydney Morning Herald dated 21 October 2019.

For those not in Australia, the "pianola" is the Australian Prime
Minister, the "pianist" is the Treasurer, and the charmer with the
whip is the Minister for Industrial Relations.
"The Best Form of Welfare is a Job" is the mantra of the current
Australian ultra-conservative government who believe that welfare
for the unemployed is a waste of money and encourages bludgers.
