A 63-year-old retired nurse in Tasmania died while cutting down a wattle tree at a Buddhist monastery — a tragedy the coroner called preventable, citing a critical lack of proper training. This incident reignites long-standing calls for mandatory certification and safety regulations for private tree felling, a push that’s gone unanswered for nearly a decade. Despite wearing safety gear, the man couldn’t escape the tree’s unexpected fall. The coroner is now urging the Tasmanian government to act — emphasizing that only trained professionals should handle chainsaw work — and to launch public awareness campaigns to highlight the deadly risks of unskilled tree felling.
