Bugger me, not long after the Kiwi's lame attempt the Aussies come out swinging big time.

Read the story, unbelievable.

Mr McCormick, who led the design team, was concerned over the removal last week of 147 mature trees planted mainly on the median strips at the site in the years leading up to the 2000 Games.

The chief executive of the Homebush Motor Racing Authority, Bryan Hardman, denied there were plans to remove another 800 trees before the car racing in December.

Lets plant trees, beautify public places ... bla bla bla, then heck, it's now a race track so cut them down.

And I bet there's some poor bastid with a tree in his backyard the same council wont let them cut down!

I'll say, the council arborists around here are knobs, lost touch with reality and make ya jump through hoops to even touch a tree. Most of them would have no hope at being successful in the corporate tree industry but can power-trip telling everyone else what to do without consequence.
