Treed or greed?
Many politicians of all colours and persuasion from Bob Hawke to Tony Abbott have advocated the planting of millions of trees to save the planet, stop global warming, alleviate carbon etc.
Perhaps they should talk to urban planners.
With the new closer settlement of suburbs, there is no room to swing a cat, bounce a ball, let alone plant a tree.
The planners, since the 90s, along with the developers have been working to a master plan with the simple acronym - GREED.
