Never assume people have "common" sense!

Indonesia is building a magnificent new capital city called "Nusantara", and for months the arborists have been hard at work providing saplings to contractors to plant around the city.

The contractors followed instructions and thousands of trees have already been planted.

The arborists became dismayed that the newly planted trees failed to thrive, so they dug up a few of the trees to find what could be the cause. They found that the saplings had been planted exactly as instructed - still in their plastic wrapping. Evidently the contractors had not been told to take the trees out of the plastic which was wrapping around the roots.

I am sure similar snafu's also occur in Australia.
