[QUOTE="Imadogman, post: 63453, member: 813"] My tip is to support the PMAV with active membership and get the ear of your Vic MP. Pick up the phone. Write them a letter. Venting on the forum will not change a thing. Despite the optimism of Golddig@ this is without doubt a kick for sluicers in Victoria and shows that the Greenies have more pull then Goldies. Having a stacked committee has not helped. But neither does apathy or lack of involvement by many prospectors who do not support the PMAV with membership and moan if there are negative changes. Let's put the future in our own hands. If you are serious about change you need to work within the system otherwise you will be ignored. Look what the Greenies have been able to achieve! It is also a warning to all prospectors to do the right thing because Green Brother is watching what you do. Take out your rubbish. Fill in your holes. Be conscientious citizens in the field. I sometimes wonder if all the public forum discussion and flagilation about isolated people misbehaving contributes to lack of confidence in overall claims by prospectors. Food for thought. I use a metal detector so this change is not a particular problem for me. But I recognize it as a reduction in rights and freedoms for prospecting overall. I think sluicing is fine if you stick to the rules for it. [/QUOTE]
