I don't see this as the same subject and I do wish to discus it with people that might have an answer. If people believe they have heard or said enough then they don't have to join in.

I can't believe that any of us here doesn't care that the monument is reported as being damaged by others that can almost certainly see the damage they are doing are what others have recently done.

To me the answer is quite straight forward. If illegal trespass is creating the damage then that trespass has to be stopped! If it can't, then there must be a severe weakness in that trespass law or it simply isn't being tested.

I know, I would like to know what was going through their minds. With the depth of water around Silbury at the moment the access to the hill must be limited.

Wish the NT would send teams out randomly to interview them when they come down, just to find out why they would damage that they probably love.

Laws can't solve all social problems. It's just not possible without a police state and coppers on every street. How, just for starters, would you even go about apprehending people who were climbing the hill? Assuming you just captured them on camera, how would you identify them? Regardless of whether prosecutions SHOULD take place, it's simply not practical and will never happen.
