Description

Shows an office scene in which three ancient men can be seen through a glass partition cavorting happily at their work, each holding a cup of tea. In the front office sits an elderly woman with her cat on her knee and a cup of tea in her hand. In front of her is a typewriter on an old-style desk. She tells the puzzled-looking manwho stands beside her that employment relations are so good that half the time they cannot remember who is the boss and when they should have retired. Refers to the Eastern Europe trip which some regard as a 'junket' that four retiring MPs are being sent on. Labour's Marian Hobbs and National's Katherine Rich and Brian Connell, along with Speaker Margaret Wilson, will fly business class on a whistlestop tour of Italy, Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Germany. New Zealand First MP Peter Brown is also going on the trip which many are calling a junket.
