Has the Bush Users Group given consideration to getting support or aligning themselves with a party like https://www.shootersfishersandfarmers.org.au who are already fighting for access to public land for recreational users among other relevant things?

I know politics is a taboo subject on this forum but moving forward these outdoors groups, & our associations like NAPFA & PMAV, need to have a strong connection to a party with a foot in the door of the political arena already IMO.
We've already seen that fractured, individual group lobbying only works to a certain extent. Time for a National front from all outdoors recreational groups if we are to be heard against the likes of the Minerals Council & Greens.
I'm not suggesting we move away from any groups, associations (like NAPFA/PMAV), organisations etc as they all still play a very important role on local/state level but it's time to get a strong National voice going forward representative of all outdoors recreational users & a party already exists that has represented us in the past & can continue that + build on it with support in the future. We don't need to reinvent the wheel.
Sorry for the political rant but IMO it needs to be said & discussed fairly. It's an unfortunate side effect of the current climate against fossickers/prospectors & all other Bush Users.
Not on Facebook but the group has my support Bill :Y:
 
It's probably a logistical nightmare, but having synchronized rallies in multiple states/cities could improve exposure.
 
Do a panning demo at markets etc, to educate the numnuts, will attract attension and have a sign; Won"t be able to do this for yourself in the bush soon, your kids are going to missout on this expeiance. Have your petition there to sign.

Melbourne the steps of parliament house Wednesday 8 Aug. at 1.00 oclock this one is a must ,make a effort to get there . I was at the Beaufort rally last Sunday a crowd of about 200 and considering what the weather was like it was a good turn out , but the number mean votes .Support the Bush Users Group United regards john :Y: :Y:
