- Description
The cartoon shows Murray McCully, Minister of Foreign Affairs. He sits in a Japanese whaling research vessel holding a fishing rod with a floater labeled 'diplomacy'. A whale is being dragged into the ship below him. Diplomats in New Zealand and Tokyo have been meeting to discuss what to do with Peter Bethune, who jumped aboard the Shonan Maru 2 from a Jet Ski on Monday with the stated goal of making a citizen's arrest of the ship's captain, while handing over a $3 million bill for the destruction of his protest ship last month. New Zealand Foreign Minister Murray McCully said it seemed Bethune's intention was to be detained aboard the whaling ship, but the country nevertheless had an obligation to try to help him and was seeking cooperation from Japanese diplomats.
