Hey Jaskar, I see you have a lot to say, in regard to this issue, and yes it can get confusing, especially when you have different interpretations coming from the one department.
A lot of us here want to do the right thing, and hence at time (not running) to seek advice from the designated authorities. And we don't whinge we discuss thing to help each other, just to let you know we are fighting for the rights of miners and fossickers if you had taken the time to read the forum you would have seen a petition I started before Christmas about the unfair laws and the amount of area's we are allowed to fossick in.
In dealing with any Legislation, you have to get the right meaning and interpretation of any clause you are concerned about, this is what we are trying to do, to clarify clauses that cause this sort of confusion, to hopefully set people in our hobby on the right track.
And Jaskar I would like if you could put me in touch with the two blokes you mention in your early post in regard to agreeing that high banking is ok, would love to have a conversation with them.
Yes you can have your own opinion but at the end of the day, we have legislation written by the QLD Govt of the day and this is what we have to work with.
Furthermore, I intendeded this thread as an helpful informative thread, please no name calling or mud slinging, or I will ask this thread to be deleted by the mods.
Thanks for your time.
