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).
