Damn... I have to agree with Michael again! The fear of introducing termites into your house with branches is totally unfounded, as Michael says, they die when separated from the nest, and the queen is way underground in an air-conditioned chamber so there's no chance she will come with the wood.
AUSHERP, if you can tell us exactly what the risks are in using untreated bush branches, I might concur with you. Which husbandry publications authoritatively suggest processing branches, and what reasons do they give? Like Michael, I'm not suggesting people don't do it if they don't want to, I just want to see the objective (case based) evidence that your reptile will suffer if you don't.
