  • Desmond Robert "Bill" Leak (9 January 1956 – 10 March 2017) was an Australian editorial cartoonist, caricaturist and portraitist. Raised in Condobolin and Beacon Hill, Sydney, Leak attended Julian Ashton Art School during the 1970s. His cartoons were first published in 1983 in The Bulletin and after he drew for The Sydney Morning Herald until 1994, when he was recruited by News Limited to contribute to The Daily Telegraph-Mirror and later to The Australian. As an artist and illustrator, Leak was acclaimed by journalist Peter FitzSimons as "colossally talented, driven, and passionate for his craft". Leak entered paintings into the Archibald on several occasions, having won the People's Choice Award in 1994 for his portrait of Malcolm Turnbull and the Packing Room Prize twice, in 1997 and 2000 for his portraits of Tex Perkins and Sir Les Patterson respectively. Leak's novel Heart Cancer was published in 2005 and in 2008 ABC TV aired his six-part series Face Painting. Leak's editorial cartoons for The Australian were at the centre of several controversies. Works that received considerable media coverage include a 2006 cartoon drawn during the West Papuan refugee dispute, a series of cartoons in 2007 that featured Kevin Rudd as Tintin, a 2015 cartoon depicting starving Indian people attempting to eat solar panels and two cartoons in 2016, one an illustration of a neglectful Aboriginal father and another that depicted same-sex marriage campaigners wearing rainbow-coloured Nazi uniforms.

  • Bill Leak atau yang bernama lahir Desmond Robert Leak (9 Januari 1956 – 10 Maret 2017) adalah seorang editorial harian dari bagian kartun dari surat kabar "The Australian", yang juga menjadi pelukis. Dua penghargaan yang pernah diterimanya adalah "Walkley" yang diterimanya pada tahun 1997 dan 2002. Dia pernah masuk nominasi pada "Archibald Prize", sedikitnya sebanyak 13 kali, dan memenangkannya sebanyak 11 kali. Dan itu termasuk "portraits of Donald Bradman" pada tahun 1989, Malcolm Turnbull pada tahun 1994, Graham Richardson pada tahun 1995, Tex Perkins pada tahun 1997, Gough Whitlam pada tahun 1998, Sir Les Patterson di 2000 dan Robert Hughes di 2001. Dia juga pernah memenangkan penghargaan "Packing Room" dua kali (untuk kategori Tex Perkins dan Sir Les Patterson) dan juga memenangkan penghargaan atas pilihan pembaca untuk Malcolm Turnbull. Selain itu ada dua karikaturnya yang dibuat oleh orang lain juga memenangkan penghargaan sebagai pilihan pembaca: sebuah lukisan oleh pada tahun 1995, dan satu lagi oleh pada tahun 2000. Berita terakhirnya, dia mendapatkan masalah karena menampilkan pemimpin dari partai oposisi (yang sekarang sudah menjadi Perdana Mentri Australia) Kevin Rudd, sebagai Tintin (yang juga ditemani oleh Milo). Namun hal ini dapat diselesaikan dengan menjanjikan bahwa dia tidak akan mengambil untung sepeserpun dari hasil penjualan kartun serial ini. Pada 10 Maret 2017, mengumumkan bahwa Leak telah meninggal dunia di rumah sakit setelah mengalami serangan jantung. Dia wafat pada usia 61 tahun. (in)
