By Gerry Georgatos in The Stringer

Cartoonist Larry Pickering's Website Down, 15th January 2015

Larry Pickering's website has gone down. In the past when this has happened he has claimed it was hacked. He's been offered police protection. Some have described his cartoons as 'vulgar' and 'tasteless'. Julia Gillard was particulary incensed by some of them. Below is a small copy of the cartoon that has caused him to receive death threats. Should he have published it? Is it too provocative? Should we all display a Mohammed cartoon in our front window? They can't kill all of us, after all. Or, is it the time to be silent?
