Plans to ramp up fossil fuel exploration, coal mining and sea bed dredging have New Zealand environment groups worried.
It's probably safe to assume that New Zealand's conservative Prime Minister John Key likes the Lord of the Rings films and is probably partial to a little bit of Hobbit.
After all, ever since the short stumpy bloke with the hairy feet went off to try and chuck a ring down that hole in Mount Doom, New Zealand's tourism bosses have been as happy as Orcs at an all-you-can-eat Elf buffet.
According to the New Zealand Tourism Board, about 13 per cent of overseas tourists between January and March took part in some sort of "Hobbit experience" while hanging around all those deep blue lakes, snow-tipped mountains and green, craggy valleys that are the cinematographer's dream. The board credits the film for tens of millions of dollars in tourism income.
