The Sydney version of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre in which a poor Campbelltown hobo decided to blame the world for all his problems. Being a hobo he could not afford a chainsaw and had to settle for a whipper-snipper from the local dump. He then proceeded to kill every plant in his vicinity. It was a dark day indeed for all vegetarians, gardeners and general plant life. Its rumoured he attacked plants because not only did he have to resort to a whipper-snipper, the object itself was of typical campbelltown quality and therefore wasn't sufficient enough to cause injuries to humans.
"They should make a film about The Sydney Whipper-Snipper Massacre."
