Ekka that is a bloody outrage! Mate call me nuts but it's starting to look like the best thing you can do is run to become the local MP of your area and try and stress these ongoing issues amongst the politicians to make a change.
Although if something that sinister was to happen down here they would be prosecuted under the TPO Legislation - a group needs to be formed with both political and financial backing power to be the authority body on the tree industry to place TPO's throughout Australia and to prevent these hacks (WITH QUALIFICATIONS!) from working in our industry and completing jobs like these.
Today I was getting rid of cocos palm logs at the tip and blimey I must of seen at least 4 different businesses that were a bunch of hacks! These hacks are spreading like a the plague. The even worse bit is that these hacks are starting to get their papers (Qualifications) and still have a blatent disrespect to the tree industry and its standards.
A very long, but brilliant post Sean, two thumbs up. It's like my teacher always says about Architects, Engineers and Landscapers. You've gotta catch em' young to get the ball rolling. |
