BBC NEWS | Asia-Pacific | Australian 'Labor tree' poisoned
The BBC reports that the Australian "Tree of Knowledge" is officially dead.
The apparent poisoning was reported earlier this year, and it has always puzzled me as to the motive of the poisoner. That the Labor Party likes to create a quasi-religious aura around the people, and even the inanimate objects, which were on hand at the time of its creation seems to me a matter of wry amusement, but it is hardly something that a normal conservative would want to put an end to by poisoning. Furthermore, if conservatives are more inclined to be the business owners in any small town, it seems they would not be interested in killing a tourist attraction.
Maybe it was just a nut.
