Not Easy Being Green

(Fox News) - Some angry Australians are blaming local "green" council laws for contributing to the death toll from bushfires. One man — whose mother and brother perished in the fires — criticized the local council for failing to allow residents to chop down trees and clear bush that posed a fire risk.

TheAge.com.au reports Warwick Spooner said, “We've lost two people in my family because you *expletives* won't cut trees down. We wanted trees cut down on the side of the road... and you can't even cut the grass for God's sake."
