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.

Description: Shows Conservation Minister Nick Smith on a tramp calling out 'No tunnel'. The echo he hears is 'But maybe a monorail!". Refers to Smith declining an application by Milford Dart Limited to build an 11.3km bus tunnel beneath parts of Mount Aspiring and Fiordland National parks. Smith is to consider the Riverstone Holdings bid to build the 41km monorail through the Snowdon Conservation Area in the next few months (see Radio New Zealand 18 July 2013).

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).

Description: A monorail rumbles through the Fiordland bush while birds and bats flee in terror. Accompanying note from cartoonist states, 'Rare native species like the Mohua have had "Threatened" beside their names. Thanks to the proposed Monorail through their habitat in the Fiordland high country we can safely upgrade that to "Assaulted".' On 31 October 2013 the Department of Conservation recommended the developers of the proposed $200 million Fiordland monorail be given provisional permission to clear a 29.5-kilometre-long corridor through conservation land, which would include some of Fiordland National Park.

Description: Disguised as Halloween trick or treaters, the Prime Minister, John Key, and the Minister of Conservation, Nick Smith, appear before two householders who are surprised to find that they are offering 'Trick? - Or another trick?' Key offers 'More asset sales', and Smith, 'DOC land deals'. Refers to the government's placing on the share market of Meridian Energy shares, together with the announcement of further assets sales of shares in Air New Zealand and Genesis Energy, and to the permission given by the Department of Conservation to clear conservation land for a monorail in Fiordland, all of which were unpopular with many New Zealanders.
