A rich lady from Fitzroy, who was a tree hugger and a vociferous anti-hunter, purchased a piece of timber land in Gippsland. There was a large tree on one of the highest points in the tract. She wanted to get a good view of her land so she started to climb the big tree.

As she neared the top, she encountered a lapwing that attacked her.

In her haste to escape, the lady slid down the tree to the ground and got many splinters in her private parts.
In considerable pain, she hurried to the nearest country doctor.

Being a hunter himself, the doctor listened to her story with great patience and then told her to go into the examining room and he would see if he could help her.

She sat and waited for three hours before the doctor reappeared. The angry lady demanded, "What took you so long?" He smiled and then told her, "Well, I had to get permits from the Environmental Protection Agency, the DNRE, and the Alpine Planning Committee before I could remove old-growth timber from a recreational area and I'm sorry, they all turned me down.
