[QUOTE="Guest, post: 81973"] Jenny O'Connor has accepted an invitation to see first hand what we use and how it works. To get the maximum benefit for a result I plan to show a small highbanker using a bilge pump. The bilge pump and battery will be attached to a solar panel to show that we are also into renewable energy. No petrol pumps will be used as the noise will immediately get their backs up. The highbanker will be set up so that the discharge goes over a gravel bed to reduce turbidity and water discolouration in the stream. This is how they should be used according to Parks Vic officers anyway. I have asked her to bring as many party members as she can to watch as well and have also invited Liberal and Labour party members as well. Its all about information and education. Not about abusing them because of misinformation. I will have printed information about former methods such as dredging and hydraulic sluicing and explain the difference to them and make sure they know these methods are banned. I will have a petrol pump there but not in use. I noticed on Jenny Connors fb page that people are simply ridiculing her for her lack of knowledge. She was given 10 minutes notice by the media about the interview which is why I am doing what I have described. It makes you wonder how many other pollies in all the parties have the same misconception about prospecting. Do they all think we are hydraulic sluicing? Probably. Petitions etc are all good but to reverse the imminent decision we have to educate them. SO rather than criticise the pollies, why not invite you local member to a creek near you and do as I am. And, make sure they leave with some gold. This is how we will retain our rights. [/QUOTE]
