Description: In the top frame Minister of Foreign Affairs Murray McCully floats luxuriously in the 'Embassy Pool'. In the lower frame a shark representing Murray McCully swims in a very small 'Job Pool'. Context: An eight-year upgrade at the embassy in Tokyo has seen $903,304 set aside for the project with more than half a million being spent this financial year. Mr McCully says the figure was a quote from an independent contractor and there are no plans to actually spend the money. Last week, the Ministry announced that embassies would be closing, 305 jobs would be cut and an outsourced consular hotline for distressed New Zealanders overseas as part of a proposed radical overhaul.
