- Given that a man has been jailed last year for
offending the state religioncutting down his own trees on his own property, and that yesterday a man was fined $100,000 after abasing himself before a room full of harpies for the same 'crime,' will you be planting any new trees on your own property any time soon? - When you see one of your trees reaching the six-metre mark which makes it protected, will you be giving it a severe prune before it gets there?
- Do you think it a coincidence that the number of large native trees bought and planted by property owners since the RMA was introduced is less than it was before its introduction?
- Do you think this might be an example of the 'unintended consequences' of legislation?

Trees
Four questions for you this morning:

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
It's a no-brainer isnt it.
