Description: 'The Politician' cartoon strip. The Politician tell his aide that he is attending an overseas meeting 'because it's important for our trade, not because it's being held in the Caribbean'. Yet when questioned, he has 'no idea' of what the meeting is about. Refers to the visits in May 2013 of the Foreign Affairs Minister, Murray McCully, to the United States and the Caribbean, as well as to the trips overseas by the Minister of Trade, Tim Groser. The reasons for the meetings, while centred around trade and overseas relationships, seemed nebulous, and the locations for the meetings were not unpleasant. Are they 'junkets'?
