- Description
A man is in a serious state of decomposition, with mere rags of flesh hanging from his skeleton and cobwebs extending from his head. He holds a phone while a voice message says 'Please hold... Your call is important to us, and you are in a priority queue...' On the ground is a newspaper with a headline that reads 'One stop mega call centre mooted for all govt. depts'. Context - The new ServiceLink organisation is to be a mega call-centre which could ultimately employ several thousand staff.

The government expects to save a million a year from "efficiencies"
