New Zealand really likes being characterised as the firm but fair "honest broker" in matters of world affairs.
It's the campaign theme of New Zealand's bid to win a seat on the Security Council.
It was the backbone of Prime Minister John Key's blunt speech to the United Nations 10 days ago.
Straight talking on behalf of small countries about how the Security Council had become hostage to the interests of the most powerful.
Rarely does New Zealand get a chance to play the honest broker so publicly as it will tomorrow.
