Glimpsed while Winston exposed Aotearoa to international shame and condemnation, MFAT officials looking glum, with one sporting a Flying Nun sticker on their laptop.

A photo of seven New Zealand diplomats sitting in the hall of the UN General Assembly, sullenly listening to their Minister metaphorically soil the nation’s pants on the world stage. On the left is a silver laptop with a Flying Nun record label sticker on the back.
