[QUOTE="Rockwall, post: 527314, member: 10067"] This is going from the ridiculous to the bizarre. I know people who have leases up there, I know people who go up there. I do watch the news now and then. Where I go the main complaints graziers have is not about fossickers but miners. The fossickers are easy to deal with, just boot them off. Miners, and not all obviously, can abuse their rights and some do so often. Larger companies who have several operations obviously have employees that supervise their operations. An individual can't afford that. The comment I made about more than one lease had nothing to do with good business sense, merely the ability to safeguard your property. If you want to go down that path then it makes better sense to ensure equipment isn't left unattended for thieving scum to take. If your car is stolen because it wasn't secured properly then you may find your insurance company may see you as partly responsible for the theft. I chose long ago not to go down the path of taking out leases and while ever I can access leasehold or private land lawfully I will continue to do so. Should that change I will retire. Past due to anyway. If the issues surrounding leases are too onerous then yes, time to move on. [/QUOTE]
