[QUOTE="MikeB05, post: 358153, member: 7270"] For me the 2016 Regulation is crystal clear...no 'grey' for me...it's black and white...cant use power operated equipment for 'processing'. Everyone is correct in stating that people should abide by the law (as written) and should not bend rules or ignore the law and if they do, they will get into trouble. There is no argument that NAPFA has done some great submissions via sluicing reports but in the end NAPFA's submissions have not changed the wording or the intent of the 2016 Regulation. When reading these posts in these threads I never read that NAPFA was flogging a dead horse... What I read was 7.62 was telling everyone not to say anything (because they are flogging a dead horse) and just join NAPFA. His post above is now lecturing everyone...'you will come out second best'. Thanks but you are not the only one who can read legislation or talk to lawyers to try and sort out the law. His view is a survey of one...just like mine or anyone else's view. His view counts just as much (but no more) than anyone else's view. I still believe this forum provides an opportunity for all members to have their say (and not be shut down) and vent their frustration and even bounce around ideas..some of which will be good and probably some will be stupid...that's what makes it a great forum. People having a vent on this forum and receiving feedback (and not being shut down or made wrong) might just provide them the balance to deter them from doing the wrong thing and ending up in trouble. Where I do agree with 7.62 is suggesting members join and support NAPFA. I also think (survey of one) that members should write to their elected representatives and express concerns and missed opportunities arising from this ban (impact on tourism, revenue loss for small towns etc). I also think that members should complete the survey doing the rounds that will provide fact based data to assist taking this fight to the government. Finally I am keen to keep seeing members express ideas and opinions on this matter...if only to keep the fires burning. For me, once the passion is lost in this matter..it could well be 'game over'.
