131 A terrible irony
Ruth Singer, Northcote, The Age (Your Say), 12/9/98
The tallest flowering plants in the world, the magnificent mountain
ash, subjected to the indignity of height limits so they won’t go through
the roof of a building (The Age, 9/9). How absurd when the real thing,
the grand forests of the north-east of Melbourne, are being felled and
pulped for paper under contracts that last until 2030.
