Good Sense from Gosnells

Agamedes is pleased to see evidence of good sense and fair dealing in the Thornlie tree man saga.

Individual rights have little chance against established power and money. As I pointed out in Forget Negotiation -- go Straight for the Throat, money and power can crush the individual.

Then in today's (27 Apr) West, under Protest tree still standing we read that Gosnells council is under fire for not chopping down that tree, now that no-one is living in it. Bickley Ward Progress and Ratepayers Association secretary David Munut raises the issue.

(It's not clear whether Munut wants the tree removed, or is making a cynical point on the so-called unsafe tree.)

"A City of Gosnells spokesman said the council was waiting on the outcome of the court case." This could just be a sensible precaution, recommended by a lawyer. I like to see it as a positive decision by the council -- to wait and see, to allow due process... to give Richard Pennicuik a chance to have his fair say in the court. Gosnells has dropped the no-compromise line and has chosen, sort of, discussion.

Well done, City of Gosnells!
