On behalf of Management and myself I would like to wish all our members, their families and friends a Happy and joyest of New Years. I hope you all have a healthy and safe 2017 and all your dreams come true. I think in 2017 we will see many changes in our Mining laws, most of them not good. And we will have an up hill battle on our hands in all States to change what laws we have now for the good of prospecting. We the Prospector/Miner need to unite in all States as one to let the Governments know we will not except their mining laws and we want to maintain our Heritage Right to continue prospecting as our fore fathers did and not except the way Government is trying to lead us away from our hobby by new restrictive laws. Everyone NOW needs to join their State fighting force like the PMAV, NAPFA, or start one up in the States that don't have one. Or by 2020 we can say "Good Bye" to prospecting as we know it now. Here in Victoria we are going to have a VERY BIG fight on our hand in 2017 in regards to these new perpetual State & National Park that are going to be set up around the Golden Triangle and the Eastern side of our state by our State Government. If we loose this fight we could almost certainly say "Good Bye" to prospecting as we know it in VIc. Please don't leave it up to the next guy to do your fighting for you. If we all thought like this we will all surely die a slow death and loose our Heritage Right for ever. Nugget893
