[QUOTE="Guest, post: 81576"] The person in the interview with the blond hair is NOT Christine Milne. Its Jenny Connor the Greens candidate in North East Victoria. She has not a clue about prospecting and proved that by her ill informed comment. The interview was heavily edited, and the segment showing a sluice in action was omitted. Don't shoot the messenger here. You need to be careful when naming someone Goldpick, that you get the right person!!! Petitions to the Minister are a total waste of time. Ryan Smith is so green its ridiculous, He has openly said that prospecting should be allowed, within one metre of any public toilet. In other words prospectors can dig shite. If you want to stop the banning of sluices in Nat. Parks then get off your collective butts and do something about it. Talk to the media, put flyers in shop windows, lobby your local member. This is the thin end of the wedge. Once sluices are banned in Parks then they will continue to declare new Parks over Mining areas until there is nowhere to go. The next one to be proclaimed will cover the Woods Point, Aberfeldy, Jordan area. I flagged this happening 15 years ago and people scoffed at the idea. Well now its happening. The VEAC investigation did nothing more than flag the issue of sluicing to the greens who picked up the baton and ran with it. Oh yeah, and if you think its only sluices that will be banned think again. The Victorian National Parks Association in their charter says that they will never allow prospecting or mining in National Parks. They will never stop until we are gone. Panning, sluicing, detecting or whatever. [/QUOTE]
