[QUOTE="HeadsUp, post: 120195, member: 414"] taken from the NAPFA newsletter ......"At the Muster, and since then, the regulations around sluices has become an issue. This has resulted in scrutiny by the relevant areas of Minerals and Resources and Department of Primary Industry, wherein there is a view that use of sluices with pumps is not allowed under the regulations. Due to these circumstances, NAPFA is now in the process of preparing a submission to go to the authorities. The matter is complicated and somewhat confused. We have written evidence that sluicing has been allowed since the early 1990s and we cannot understand why that may now not be the case. Who changed what and when ?..." We seem to have some nuttters in govt departments trying to abuse their power without any wisdom involved in the process. If they think they are going to kill of a citizens hobby they are going to have some very angry elephants galloping through their offices. I expect Napfa will be giving us more information on this as it develops , but just a little side note here. Shooters were compensated with a buyback when the govt banned automatic weapons , any ban of sluicing will require a similar compensation plan my invoice to them will be about $ 6000 multiply that by 30,000 prospectors and see if they change their mind [/QUOTE]
