Due to the decline in popularity of artificial raspberry cordial, the Western Australian Government has ordered the mass uprooting of the artificial raspberry plantations.
The massive potential disruption to Western Australia's fragile ecosystem has not gone un-noticed by the AR Party, who have rushed to stop the destruction.
Nude protesters have chained themselves to the artificial raspberry bushes, in a last-ditch attempt to stop the secateur-wielding destroyers.
One protester has occupied a platform, at least two feet above the ground, and is defying all attempts to get him down.
An artificial cherry-picker is reportedly on its way to assist in the removal of the platform squatter.
The local police say they already have their hands full with the illegal skimpy barmaids in the local pub, and they are powerless to help.
