[QUOTE="Solomon 009, post: 79220, member: 2921"] Is it possible to start a Petition to QLD Gov for a slight change to the new ridiculous laws of no pumps ( e.g. for pumping water for our sluices when creeks and streams are not flowing{most of the time in QLD}) or (blower motors e.g. for Dry Blower's for dry prospecting area's/ 90% of the state is dry 75% of the time) allowed by prospectors in Queensland. The new law is difficult to understand when the BIG mining companies are allowed to do anything they bloody well want to, which is strange when nearly all small communities near Gold Fields rely heavily on tourist dollars from Prospectors and other people who visit these area's due to the gold. I was talking with my local Member and he said at least 5000 signatures would give the petition the ammunition for the Government to treat it as a viable petition. The allowed signatures can be Prospectors and their families as well as any people in area's that get their money from gold prospectors or tourism in general. As well as anyone in general that would support the idea in itself. So my question is, do people on P.A. think it is worth bucking the system (Large Mining Companies tend to push the smaller people like our selves around way to easily) and Pushing for our rights to prospect in a safe and respectful to nature way, please feel free to give all of your idea's to this and also can you tell me how many people are there that could maybe sign a petition for this, if we started one. Cheers all and thank you for reading this, I know it is long but I really think we need to try and change what is happening, Paul [/QUOTE]
