9 Reasons Why Tony Abbott Thinks Trees Are For Chopping

    Speaking at a Forestworks dinner last night, Australia's Prime Minister revealed his thoughts on how the environment can serve humans.

    1. A man's job is to build and fix things around the home.

    2. Sure, forests are pretty, but what's more important is they can be USED.

    3. The timber industry are the ultimate conservationists.

    4. God gave us forests so we could cut them down.

    5. Australia has an Environment Minister who understands the environment is there for the use of MAN.

    6. Australia has too many protected forests.

    7. People have already ruined big chunks of the forest so there's no point in protecting it.

    8. The Abbott government is ruled by common sense.

    9. Abbott has created a Forest Industry Advisory Council, headed by the president of the Institute of Foresters of Australia, to ensure he gets invited to next year's dinner.
