Reference: DCDL-0014044

Description: American President Barack Obama gives a press conference saying that ' if John Key can get away with mining in NZ's pristine national parks this should be a doddle...' He gestures towards an image on the wall behind him of a huge deep-sea drill which is accompanied by the text 'US to expand offshore oil and natural gas drilling'. Refers to the New Zealand government's decision to do test drilling for minerals in several national parks. Refers also to the news that US President Barack Obama has announced plans for a broad expansion of offshore oil and gas drilling in an effort to win Republican support for new proposals to fight climate change. The president, who needs bipartisan support to pass a bill that would set limits on US greenhouse gas emissions, cautioned that expanding drilling was not a catch-all answer to US energy challenges.

Description: Shows Minister for Conservation and National MP, Nick Smith, standing beside a sign that says, National Park. He explains the rationale for a proposed tunnel linking Glenorchy and Milford Sound. A kiwi bird asks, "Does the park belong to the nation, or the party?" and another responds, "That's the issue." Context: The Milford Tunnel project sparked controversy among conservationists. The proposed $180 million tunnel would have cut through the Fiordland and Mount Aspiring National Parks, a World Heritage Area. On 17 June, Smith announced that the tunnel plans would not go forward.

Reference: DCDL-0025625

Description: Shows Minister for Conservation, Nick Smith, standing naked in the native bush, among tui, kereru, kiwi, and other native birds and plants. A heading reads, 'Nature boy Nick says no to Milford tunnel..." and Smith says, "Hey I know, what about a monorail instead?" Refers to a proposal to build a tunnel through the Fiordland and Mt Aspiring National Parks in order to halve the travel time for visitors to Milford Sound. The proposal met significant criticism from conservation groups, tour operators, and local communities. Although the tunnel will not be going forward, other proposals, such as a monorail, are still being considered. (Stuff.co.nz, 17 July 2013) Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
