We now have this:
FOUR people have been charged with stealing fallen branches from the Tree of Knowledge at Barcaldine in central Queensland.
Police say the branches were taken in the early hours of yesterday morning when four people got into a secured site where the historic tree is being reconstructed.
A $5 million memorial is being built after the tree was poisoned and died in 2006.
It is credited with being the birthplace of the Australian Labor Party.
Two Brisbane men, aged 19 and 22, have each been charged with two counts of stealing.
They will appear in Longreach Magistrate's Court on May 19.
A 19-year-old Mackay man and an 18-year-old Barcaldine woman each face one count of stealing.
Police say they found one branch in a house at Barcaldine and the second at the rear of a local business. Both appeared undamaged and have been returned to the site.
It's a F**king Tree!
Hardly seems worth the time of our overworked police and DPP.
