Local councils in Melbourne, Australia, are angering residents as the government has been busy chopping down trees and removing vegetation throughout the city to make clear pathways for the postal service’s new “environmentally friendly” brigade of electric vehicles.
In May of this year Australia Post announced that they would be replacing their old delivery motorbikes with 500 new electric trikes. The postal service says this move will help them achieve arbitrary climate goals by reducing emissions by 15% by 2025, while also claiming to provide more safer transportation for workers and residents. The electric bikes reportedly have a higher carrying capacity than its predecessors.
Unlike other delivery companies, Australia Post is the company permitted to drive their vehicles on walkways.
In response to this Merri-bek, Darebin and Stonnington councils all decided to have trees and other plants chopped down and removed, according to Australian outlet The Age. A spokesperson for the postal service said that they did not request the city to chop down all these trees, but to at least make the pathways clearer by removing branches and other debris in the way.
It’s important we have clear access to properties so we can keep delivering our customers’ letters and parcels efficiently and ensure a safe working environment for our team members.
The spokesperson explained
Apparently the government went ahead and decided to remove most of the vegetation and green scenery. However The Age obtained letters sent to residents requesting them to cutdown low-hanging limbs and shrubs, with some letters even threatening to withhold homeowner’s mail if they did not guarantee a clear path for the bikes.
Australia Post has changed delivery mode and now are using electric delivery mode due to the dimensions.
I have a duty of care to my staff that their health and safety is not jeopardised whilst in the process of delivering mail. The overhanging branches and bushes on your property are an immediate risk to your postie as she/he rides past.
We would expect you to attend to this matter by 30/12/2022. Failure to do so may result in your mail being held for collection.

Another resident on the same street said the state cutdown the “nicest tree in the street” and reduced it down to a stump.
It’s not right to come in and remove a tree that has been growing for 30 years. I’m a landscape architect and we are doing everything we can to get as much vegetation on streets as possible for obvious reasons, to tackle climate change and for amenity.
Jules Thomson-Martin said
The Age reported, ‘Anita Curnow, director of city infrastructure at Merri-bek, would not comment on whether the tree had been cut down at the request of Australia Post, but said the council had received complaints from delivery services.’
Council has recently received complaints regarding overgrown vegetation along some footpaths in Merri-bek. Vegetation on private property must be cut back to the property line, and not exceed a height of three metres to ensure that pedestrians, including delivery services, prams and other pedestrians, can easily and safely pass by.

Darebin, a neighboring council, purportedly has also been receiving a “small number” of inquiries from the Post to prune shrubbery within the last year or so. The City of Stonnington says that in the last two years they have received anywhere from 30-50 unique requests to remove vegetation along with their routes.
With the few requests council has received, we will aim to prune and provide the required clearance on our property for the new delivery trikes where possible without damaging vegetation.
A spokesman said
‘The battle over Melbourne’s footpaths is likely to intensify as Australians continue their online shopping habits, buying $62.3 billion of goods online in 2021, according to Australia Post,’ The Age added.
Other nations purportedly looking to reduce their overall emissions are also having to destroy the environment to do so, such as the case with Scotland hewing down over 14 million trees and counting so they can erect new wind turbines.
The WinePress has previously cited other independent researchers from Australia – documenting how the green agenda push is ultimately destroying the lush Australian landscape.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
Ahh, more greenie hypocrisy as usual: what else is new?
[1] Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; [2] Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; [3] Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. 1 Timothy 4:1-3
‘We have to destroy the environment in order to save it because it’s too dumb to manage itself! And if you don’t destroy it with us, we’ll just refuse to give you your mail, pleb, so you can’t pay your social credit tax because you eat too much meat!’

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Hey ~ way to go “GREEN.” The biggest contributors to ANYTHING that harms the earth and all of it’s inhabitants, are these useless shysters who ‘think’ they are in charge, SMH.
