TEACHING MATHS IN 2005 A forester cuts down a beautiful native forest because he is selfish and inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of animals or the preservation of our old growth forests. Your assignment: Discuss how the birds and possums might feel as the logger cut down their homes just for a measly profit of $40.
TEACHING MATHS IN 2009 A forester is arrested for trying to cut down a tree in case it may be offensive to Muslims or other religious groups not consulted in the felling license. He is also fined $200 as his chainsaw is in breach of Occupational Health and Safety legislation as it deemed too dangerous and could cut something or someone. He has used a chainsaw for over 20 years without incident however he does not have the correct certificate of competence and is therefore considered to be a recidivist and habitual criminal. His DNA is sampled and his details circulated throughout all government agencies. He protests and is taken to court and fined another $200 because he is such an easy target. When he is released he returns to find environmental protestors have cut down half his wood to build a camp on his land. He tries to throw them off but is arrested, prosecuted for harassing a minority group, imprisoned and fined a further $200. While he is in jail the environmental protestors cut down the rest of his wood and sold it on the open market for $200 cash. They also have on leaving a barbeque of possum and native hen and depart leaving behind several tonnes of rubbish and asbestos sheeting. The forester on release is warned that failure to clear the fly struck tipped rubbish immediately at his own cost is an offence. He complains and is arrested for environmental pollution, breach of the peace and invoiced $12,000 plus GST for safe disposal costs by a regulated government contractor. Your assignment: How many times is the forester going to have to be arrested and fined before he realises that he is never going to make $200 profit by hard work, give up, sign onto the dole and live off the state for the rest of his life?
TEACHING MATHS IN 2010 A forester doesn't sell a truck load of timber because he can't get a loan to buy a new truck because his bank has spent all his and their money on a derivative of securitised debt related to sub-prime mortgages in the USA and lost the lot with only some government money left to pay a few million dollar bonuses to their senior directors and the traders who made the biggest losses. The logger struggles to pay the $2400 road tax on his old truck however, as it was built in the 1970s it no longer meets the emissions regulations and he is forced to scrap it. Some Muslim loggers buy the truck from the scrap merchant and put it back on the road. They undercut everyone on price for haulage and send their cash back home, while claiming unemployment for themselves and their relatives. If questioned they speak no English and it is easier to deport them at the governments expense. Following their holiday back home they return to the Australia with different names and fresh girls to exploit and start again. The forester protests, is accused of being a bigoted racist and as his name is on the side of his old truck he is forced to pay $2,500 registration fees as a gang master. The Government borrows more money to pay more to the bankers as bonuses are not cheap. The parliamentarians feel they are missing out and claim the difference on expenses and allowances. Your assignment: You do the maths.
