The fine this time needs to be a bit higher. I suggest the maximum
penalty of $10M be applied, with each failed call be treated as a
contravention:
$10M x 600 dropped calls = $6B fine.

I asked Chat GPT to draw a cartoon of the PM:
https://blog.highereducationwhisperer.com/2025/09/chat-gpt-produces-disrespectful-cartoon.html
Curiously, Chat GPT said "I?ll avoid anything offensive or
disrespectful", but got the location of Palestine wrong, giving the
cartoon more of a sting.
Here is the prompt: 'Draw a cartoon of the Australian prime minister as
a school child, pointing to palestine on a map of the world, with the
foreign minister, Penny Wong as the teacher, saying "Well done Albo!".
The caption should be "Australia Recognises Palestine".' Result:

So, not replacing court jester anytime soon: "Jester's privilege is the
ability and right of a jester to talk and mock freely without being
punished." from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jester.
Ofcourse, ChatGPT could do a Wikipedia entry - lastnight on Big Bang
theory Sitcom Sheldon mentioned his entry on wikipedia on Tesla or
Eddison or the light bulb kept getting changed.
In real-life a wikipedia "active" page is "Originating in either
Australia or New Zealand in the early 20th century, it was named after
the Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova.[1][2]^"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavlova (Google Search AI did not even try)
