[QUOTE="loamer, post: 90822, member: 981"] A good thought that has been discussed over the years. A key sticking point is that unlike a national federation/association based in Canberra to lobby the Federal Govt, each state/territory has differing laws and requires quite different lobbying at a state level. Mining Acts/Laws are usually a state function. Also, all the current groups are just about 100% unpaid, volunteer services etc to keep membership costs down. I don't even know if all states even have a PMAV / NAFPA equivalent. There is usually a meeting of minds between some PMAV and NAFPA members at Laanecoorie Caravan park once a year for the 'gold bash', but still pretty informal. This attracts many prospectors from Vic and NSW and to be fair to the South Aussies they come along as well and several are in the PMAV. [/QUOTE]
