STATE ELECTION: Pruning anger in Mornington - Government - News - Mornington Peninsula Leader

Quote:

IT WAS a mighty battle on all fronts at the Uniting Church polling booth in Mornington today.

Voters faced torrential rain while they battled over their decision on who to vote for while other discussed skirmishes of another kind.

Two voters, 67-year-old Jan Glass of Mornington and 74-year-old Edward Ellis of Noble Park, huddled together under a covered church walkway to discuss the day’s conflict with a Green’s supporter over the pruning of a tree on the church property.

``Greens supporters are up in arms about the cutting of tree foliage outside the church to make room for a tent,’’ Ms Glass said.

``One of the elders has just told me that the complaint caused a bit of a kerfuffle.

``The church needed the tent to hold a sausage sizzle during voting.’’

There you go again with all your supporters bagging the greenies,there seems to be a lot of area available,it would of been simpler to put up the tent in another area,try thinking out of the circle.

There you go again, cannot comprehend nor reason, adding your own distorted and tainted perspectives and trying to pass them off.

All this fuss over a single branch. Some folk go overboard regardless of their age. You seem to me to have a hidden agenda ? or was it your time to come out from under the bridge..
