[QUOTE="RottenRon, post: 63422, member: 174"] G'day mate. Look I hope you right, and I acknowledge the reference to "National Parks" in Marks post. I also note the comment in the Victorian Government Response to Victorian Environmental Assessment Councils Report, (Link in Marks post) where the Gov states on page 7, "RESEARCH INTO THE IMPACTS OF RECREATIONAL PROSPECTING Recommendation 5 That further research into the potential effects of recreational prospecting in national and state parks should be undertaken and supported, with a priority on impacts on waterways in parks, impacts on ground flora, and impacts on Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal cultural heritage." The VAEC report is obviously the basis for the proposed new legislation, so when we finally get a copy of that legislation, I guess we don't know for sure if State Parks are included. I had a conversation with the PMAV president about 1 month ago, and the comments and sentiment I received did not auger well for the future. I don't want to be seen as scare mongering but the quote above is the one that really got me worried, and caused me to start that thread about cleaning up after ourselves. You'll note the reference to State Parks in there. Other articles I've seen also just said Parks or State Parks, hence my concern. I guess we'll see soon enough. Cheers, Ron. [/QUOTE]
