For those unfamiliar, the web plug-in’s function is all in the name: it replaces any image it can identify as Tony Abbott with one of a kitten.

Pandora, the web archive established and curated by the National Library of Australia, has preserved more than 39,000 websites since its creation in 1996.

Created to “document the cultural, social, political life and activities of the Australian community and intellectual and expressive activities of Australians”, it has previously archived federal election coverage, political party websites and Royal Commission hearings.

The developer must be proud that their creation is going in the annals of Australian history.

"You know kids, back in the early 21st century, Australians hated Tony Abbot so much, that they couldn't even look at his face."
"Wow, prof! How did they avoid looking at him?"
"They replaced him with kittens."
