- Description
The cartoon shows a man wearing a dunce's cap who says 'We make allowances'. Text above reads 'New Zealand Defence Force', the word UNlawful' appears in the centre with the 'UN' in bold. The Defence Force has been severely criticised by Auditor-General Lyn Provost for the way it handled a case of wrongly claimed allowances by officers seconded to the United Nations between 2001 and 2008. Lynn Provost said that 'The four seconded officers - all highly-regarded and senior people - were all willing to accept as plausible that NZDF headquarters was expecting or ordering them to complete a false declaration to manipulate financial entitlements'.
