Description: The Rimutaka Hill Road is represented as a winding track running over the caricatured features of Robert Muldoon. Muldoon's Corner is sign-posted. A construction worker remarks 'Once that's done there's a wide, slippery bit we could look at...' Below him is another sign-post labelled 'Key's Mile'. The cartoon is titled 'News: State Highway 2 over the Rimutakas is being made safer'. Muldoon's Corner, not named after Sir Robert Muldoon, is one of the dangerous bends. 'Key's Mile', an invented name, refers to John Key's reputation for slipperiness, as well as to his habitual grin. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: A man lying in a very deep bath asks a surveyer who happens to be standing nearby holding a measuring stick whether the coastal route is still a possibility. Refers to the fact that new homes (and this man is in one of them) have been built on the Whenua Tapu to McKays crossing route at Pukerua Bay, making it difficult for the bypass to go ahead if the Government were to change its mind on the northern transport corridor out of Wellington and ditches the Transmission Gully option.
