[QUOTE="Matt80, post: 429003, member: 3461"] Im rather ambivalent towards dredging, it's not necessarily bad and may even be good for the environment if done properly, but it seems to encourage very bad behaviour by some and that's what led to all the problems for everyone. As for banning dredges from places like eBay, yes it encourages bad behaviour in some but some would argue the same for a lot of products. Dredges are not illegal in Australia, only the use of dredges in areas that don't have the appropriate approvals on mining claims. There are still mining claims at very least in Qld and NSW that l know of that still have approval to use dredges, but l haven't heard of anyone getting a new claim approved for a dredge since the laws changed. It's a pity that we have laws that are poorly enforced so some break them and because some break them the government responds with even more restrictive laws that they still won't enforce properly so the cycle continues...
