Warren's World: The real Aussie superheroes

What do you think of when you hear the word superhero? A guy or girl in a cape and tights flying over the city rescuing people in distress?

In reality, the REAL superheroes are the people who make our lives easier: the people who fix our cars, make sure our lights are working, guarantee that we have food to eat, ensure that our precious water is running and clean, produce clothes to keep us warm and dry and build the houses that we go home to at night.

Things we in modern life take for granted, without thinking about the people involved in getting us these basic services.

Here, editorial cartoonist with Sydney's Daily Telegraph newspaper Warren Brown discusses trade heroes and the largely invisible impact they have on our lives.
