A woman from <st1><st1>Sydney</st1></st1>, who was a tree hugger and anti-hunter, purchased
acres of timberland, near <st1>George Town</st1>,<st1> . There was a</st1>
huge tree on one of the highest points in the land. She wanted to view the
natural splendour of her land, so she climbed the tree. As she neared the
top, she encountered a spotted owl . It attacked her! In her haste to
escape, the woman slid down the tree to the ground. The ensuing fall
incurred several splinters of wood: in her crutch.
In considerable pain, she hurried to the nearest on call doctor, 35 minutes
away in Launceston. She told him she was an environmentalist and anti-hunter and
how she came to receive all of the splinters. The doctor listened to her
story with great patience. He then told her to go into the examining room
and he would see if he could help. The impatient patient sat, and sat, and waited for three hours before the
doctor reappeared.
The angry woman demanded, 'What took you so long?'
He smiled and said , 'Well, I had to get permits from the Tassie
Government, the Federal Government, the high court and the RPDC before I could remove old-growth timber from a
recreational area.
And, I'm sorry, but they turned me down.<o>:p</o>:p
