His political satiric animation has also appeared on A Current Affair.

Between 2004 and 2005, he produced a series of animated shorts entitled Survive Alive for Foxtel's The Comedy Channel. In 2005, Andrew worked as political editorial cartoonist for The Sunday Telegraph and mX newspapers. He is also a regular on the public speaking circuit.
