Description: Around a table sit Minister for Energy and Economic Development Gerry Brownlee, Minister of Foreign Affairs Murray McCully, PM John Key and Finance Minister Bill English; Gerry Brownlee says that tourism now earns more than farming, Murray McCully argues that 'we are still dependent on wool' and John Key laughs and says that 'we can't pull tourism over peoples' eyes'. Context - Tourism outstrips farming as top export earner. Figures released by Statistics NZ show international tourists spent $9.5 billion while visiting New Zealand for the year ending March 2010. Tourism exports contribute more than $560 million more than dairy exports - worth $8.9 billion over the same period, down from $9.9 billion the previous year.

Description: A tiny Kiwi sits in the pocket of a slightly larger kangaroo and both sit in the pocket of a huge man representing the USA. The kiwi comments 'In defense matters it's vitally important that you can stand on someone's own two feet...' Refers to Australia being New Zealand's most important security partner and to the signing between PM John Key and US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on the occasion of her November visit to New Zealand of the 'Wellington Declaration' that 'formalises a new strategic partnership between the two countries, commits to regular meetings at foreign minister level, working together on trade and holding annual military talks'. Foreign Affairs Minister Murray McCully told Morning Report there have always been limitations on interactions because of New Zealand's nuclear free legislation. "It means that while Australia and the United States have an alliance, we don't have one, and we had to try and find a new, positive way of expressing a partnership that wasn't an alliance."

Description: Prime Minister John Key, facing in two directions at once, paddles along a shoreline wearing a gaudy summer shirt and shorts; looking in one direction he says 'Look, I'm relaxed about it..' and looking in the other he says 'There are two sides to this...' He holds a newspaper with a headline reading 'Cables expose Key over Dalai Lama contradictions'. Refers to news that the NZ Herald has revealed a leaked US Embassy cable that said Key had assured the Chinese premier he would not meet the Dalai Lama. But Key promised voters he would meet him. Foreign Minister Murray McCully insists there was no "official" instruction to senior politicians to avoid meeting the Dalai Lama. Key decided himself to dodge a meeting - and his Cabinet ministers made the same decision, all at the same time, all by themselves. Refers to the Dalai Lama's visit to New Zealand last December 2009.

(Radio New Zealand News - 5 November 2010) Refers also to the news that the Defence Force is to be overhauled in a radical plan that will see military bases consolidated and current spending trimmed by up to $400 million a year to help fund big ticket purchases. A government White Paper said today the outcome would be a "smaller, modernised and upgraded defence estate", in which private sector financing and expertise might be used for some functions.

Description: Minister for the Rugby World Cup, Murray McCully, has 'managed to secure the services of an acknowledged World Cup Event Manager' to help him decide on 'Party Central'. Before him is an octopus which has latched itself to a box labeled 'somewhere else' as opposed to another labelled 'Auckland'. Refers to the slow start and indecisiveness around the creating of the events centre 'Party Central' for the Rugby World Cup. The octopus is a two-year old "psychic" octopus, who achieved national celebrity status in Germany for having a 100 percent success rating in choosing match winners. English-born Paul the mollusk, who lives in The Sea Life Aquarium in Oberhausen, Germany, chose the winner for every match that Germany played in, having predicted that Germany would beat Australia, Ghana, England and Argentina but lose to Serbia. Paul makes his "predictions" when two plastic boxes are lowered into his tank, both containing a mussel and the German national flag in one box and the flag of the opposing team in the other.

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'.

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'?

Description: The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Murray McCully, represented as an alien, stands in front of a landed spacecraft sporting a banner reading 'Mission accomplished'. he announces that he has come from 'Planet Nato', and that 'the Allies are pulling out as Afghanistan is ready for peaceful transition! Mission accomplished!' There had been several purported UFO sightings and landings in New Zealand, as noted by the cartoonist. McCully at the time was attending a NATO meeting in Chicago, where the withdrawal from Afghanistan was announced. 'Mission Accomplished' refers to the banner displayed by the former President of the United States, George W Bush, when he prematurely declared the end of the war in Iraq. The view from 'Planet Nato' of Afghan politics suggests the same lack of realism. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
