No contextual information has been found for this cartoon. Victorian Premier Henry Bolte and the other figures (Menzies, Calwell, U.S. President John F. Kennedy, Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev and British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan) are all shown with Fu Manchu moustaches, a stereotypical Chinese moustache usually denoting Chinese villains in popular films of the early 20th century.
