With the fallout from the Royal Commission into the Robodebt Scheme and normal parliamentary resignations, 2023 saw three politicians vacating their seat in federal parliament: former MPs Alan Tudge and Stuart Robert, and former senator Marise Payne. In this cartoon, Fiona Katauskas suggests that the families of these MPs might need a support group as they try to deal with a former politician wanting to spend more time with them.

A mother and son arrive at a door with sign 'support group', a group of people sit in a circle in the room and one says 'Yes, this is for the families of MPs who've left politics in order to spend more time with them'.
