[QUOTE="shivan, post: 120517, member: 194"] Yes the bloke at the DPI did bring up the fisheries mob with the turbidity now i think about it, that was the only thing in the whole conversation it seemed that they could get us on if they wanted. He also laughed at me when i said we needed a group like PMAV or APLA and said "We had our chance in the 80's" no idea what he ment but we did end up with NAPFA. At the time of the call i had gotten myself very worked up after some discussion on the forums and just wanted an answer. When i posted on the forums at the time about what had happened, most people seemed to just want to leave the issue alone and not make waves as the thought was rules would be changed for the worse. I can understand that thinking but in my opinion with that attitude we as a group are only ever going to loose out, and eventually what we are doing will be illegal. We have lost enough ground to national parks, conservation areas and the like already, we all complain about it but what will that get us? Just a personal observation, but as a group i think we are really good at complaining about things yet doing little about it, and arguing among ourselves to the point that coming together to fight an issue would be near impossible. I have no idea if we did ever manage to come together as a group if we would have more or less people that the greens out there, but surly even a small groups voice in protest is better than none?
