Richard Pennicuik better known as the "Thornlie Tree Man" would like to thank you for your support.
He would ask for you to continue giving him your support to protect the tree, his rights and your rights from being bullied away by authoritarian body that has no right to have any authority over any commonwealth land.
Commonwealth lands, like the road and verge, are owned by the collective wealth of all Australians, both you and me!
The tree is still at risk and anyone who can lend their presence and support to stop the Constitutionall In-valid Council from chopping it down.
There is a threat that an attempt to chop it down will be made very early (7am or earlier) Monday 29 March 2010.
Please help and tell all others that you know are in support that Richard needs your help!!!
Richard needs a regular presence of support at the tree on 100 Hume Road, Thornlie.
Richard also asks you to let the Constitutionally In-valid CITY OF GOSNELLS COUNCIL know that they should back off because they are wrong and becuase they don`t have any legal right to have any authority over Commonwealth Land, the road and verge.
The constitutionally in-valid CITY OF GOSNELLS COUNCIL has in all this time not produced a single piece of credible evidence to support their claims that the tree Richard was in was dangerous. Nor for any of the other many trees they wrongly removed.
They did not produce any credible evidence because they don`t have any!!!
(1) The trees life has not seen any limb failure.
(2) An scientific arborists report, proves it is a safe tree.
(3) The storm of the century proves it is a safe tree.
(4) Another recent arborists report completed after the storm also proves it is a safe tree. (Just sent to constitutionally in-valid councilors and constitutionally in-valid council.)
This is about the rights of a person, a ratepayer, an Australian Citizen and the Constitution of the Commonwealth.
The Constitution of the Commonwealth is the will of the people of Australia, the supreme set of guidelines and laws that govern the way Australia operates.
The Constitution of the Commonwealth can be purchased from the Australia Post and other book stores reasonably cheaply.
Or you can download it from, http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/cth/consol_act/coaca430/
The truth of the matter is that the constitutionally in-valid CITY OF GOSNELLS COUNCIL and all constitutionally in-valid local governments (councils) in Australia are just that, constitutionally in-valid.
You don`t have to pay them any rates, as they are not recognised by the Australian people, by the Australian Constitution of the Commonwealth.
This, Australia`s fundamental rule book (law) is the strongest set of rule (laws) in Australia. No other laws can over-ride them in any way.
The only way this Commonwealth Constitution can be changed in any way in by a nation wide referendum or vote.
In 1988, one of these referendums (national vote) was conducted. One of the questions that the Australian people were asked were,
Question Three, "To alter the Constitution to recognise local government." "Do you approve this proposed alteration?"
The people of every state in Australia voted not to recognise local governments or local councils in the Australian Commonwealth Constitution.
The Australian Commonwealth Constitution, or the people of Australia only agreed to recognise federal and state governments.
The police are Constitutionally recognised, but the local council ranger is not. Therefore you are under no legal obligation to recognise a local council ranger in any official manner.
Unless they and the local government or local councils can prove that they are recognised in the Australian Commonwealth Constitution. They can`t because their not!
Please support Richard`s (treeman`s) efforts to protect his rights, your rights and every Australian`s rights!!!
We have started fund raising to cover the costs of this action, as it has and will continue to cost money.
We have opened a joint account with the Bank of Bendigo (Gosnells) for the short term until we form a non-profit association with tax deductible status.
We will be telling you more through upcoming you tube films and written information very soon.
Watch this space!!!
Also listen to Monday morning`s 92.9 fm broadcast for Richard. He be in the studio telling the saga

I was near the tree at 6.50am on March 29th it was still standing, no sign of any supporters and no sign of any tree pruners
ReplyDeleteLocal government is recognised under the Western Australian Constitution - Section 52. Richard did not think local government was unconstitutional when it ruled in his favour in 2004 - so why now?
ReplyDeleteWho hijacked the protest to push their own political views? Do they get their bins collected, use local roads or footpaths that the council maintains? Go to the library? Use the leisure centre?
Hope not as that would be terribly hyprocritical.
for the record.
ReplyDeleteCONSTITUTION ACT 1889 - SECT 52
52 . Elected local governing bodies
(1) The Legislature shall maintain a system of local governing bodies elected and constituted in such manner as the Legislature may from time to time provide.
(2) Each elected local governing body shall have such powers as the Legislature may from time to time provide being such powers as the Legislature considers necessary for the better government of the area in respect of which the body is constituted.
All this rubbish is pushed for the benefit of the writer only,who are you and what is your agenda ? certainly not the welfare of Richard.
ReplyDeleteCome out from behind your hiding place !
Read the Constitution Act 1889-sect 52 you moron.
I am an arborist and i support Richards passion to save this tree very much. A tree like this is one of the few gifts nature can provide in a suburb like this and therefore should be protected at all cost.
ReplyDeleteToday i was apalled to see that this tree had been cut down. Richard who dedicated so much time to save this tree, the one who lives amongst the danger, the beauty and the benefits of this lovely tree is willing to go to great lengths to keep it.
What is this world coming to?? how can someone working in an office living away from this tree go to even greater effort to end its life? also how can other Arborists put their name to such shame by removing it?
