Description: The Minister for Conservation, Dr Nick Smith, amid a sea of cut scraps of paper, holds one saying 'Yes Minister' while claiming 'I did not, at any stage, suggest DOC cut the draft submission to two paragraphs! That is plainly quite ridiculous! Who'd use two paragraphs when two words would do?!' The cut scraps of paper mention such words as 'Ruataniwha', 'nitrates', 'kill rivers' and 'dam', among others. Refers to the Department of Conservation's submission on the proposed Ruataniwha dam. In September 2013 the Department of Conservation prepared a draft 32-page submission on the proposed Ruataniwha Water Storage Scheme and Hawke's Bay Regional Council's Plan Change 6, raising serious concerns about the risk of water pollution. However, this draft was suppressed with the Department submitting only two paragraphs on the scheme which didn't mention the likely water pollution effects. An email circulated to senior staff says that the Minister, Nick Smith, wanted to see the submission before it was lodged. Claims were made that Smith had demanded that the submission be cut drastically. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: Shows two horsemen with their horses and a dog, one man standing and using a telescope. Both men are looking down from the raised foreground towards part of a horseshoe-shaped lake, and beyond, through a dip in small hills, to another lake in the distance. There is a range of higher hills at the left, stretching away into the far distance. There are sparse cabbage trees growing on the low-lying peninsula in the nearer lake. A view from the same spot as Barraud's engraving 'Te Aute Lake, Hawke Bay', in his 'New Zealand graphic and descriptive' (London, 1877) on page 23. The accompanying commentary reads 'The lake shown in our sketch, was in 1818, the scene of a terrible disaster to the Hawke Bay natives, inflicted by a war party of the Ngapuhi, led by the great chief Tamati Waka Nene. On the approach of the invaders nearly the whole of the older people with the women and children fled to an island in the Te Aute Lake ... An excellent view of the Te Aute Lakes is obtained from the present line of railway between Napier and Waipukurau ...' While visiting Te Aute in 1865, Barraud visited Rev Samuel Williams and may have stayed with him. He may be one of the men in this view. The work was titled Landscape with two horsemen when it was copied by the Library in the 1970s, while still in private ownership. There was and is no title on the work itself. The identification of the men as surveyors appears to be a later suggestion. Te Aute Lake was drained by Europeans, possibly in the 1880s. Other Titles - Landscape with two horsemen 1866.
