Rally against VEAC proposal for more Parks in the Triangle.

G’day Bill,

Have you got a day/time when you are doing this rally.

Cheers.

Mike.

Yer sorry Mike, some how I deleted that part of the info. I have now put up a new Flier with that info.

G'day Bill, Have all park/forest users been notified ? Is this PMAV wide, will they all be there, for something like this we need 100,s if not 1000,s not just a handful of locals, Cheers Bruce

Hi Bruce we have notified Horse groups 4X4 groups, I've contacted our local shooter supply shop to let other shooters know.All the detector supply shops know about it. On face book the article has been shared now, a few times, on other Face Book pages. So I'm hoping we get a good response on the day. I'm still letting other user groups know.

It would be great to see this meeting have a lot of protesters turn up to show these idiots that the land is for everyone to enjoy and not lock everything up for a "green" vote.

All the best to all who will attend and show them your "voice"

Wombat, cant be there, but has somebody organised a petition? I would love to sign it.

Here is the Petition to print of and sign (get your fiends to sign as well) There is a return postal address at the bottom
Government will NOT take electronic petitions only paper ones. Double click on image for full view, then copy and print.

Fantastic turn out at such short notice today.
congrats to the organizers .
Every one,please fire off an email to your local member of parliament voicing your concerns.

regards moredeep

ps ,went for a scratch after the rally a got a point 3 gmer:)

Yes Bill a great turn up for such short notice, did you do a head count I reckon around the 200 mark . yep short notice = great effort.

It was quite good if a little cold. A good turnout. Hopefully a good result too.

Hi Wombat,
I commend your efforts and I would like to personally thank you for what you are doing to raising awareness of this issue and a petition is a great idea. Along with the paper petition, have you considered starting a petition on the following web site change.org/en-au. With the aid of social media and since this issue has a potential to affect many bush uses and also the businesses that greatly rely on the maintenance of access to our bush we may be able to engage many more concerned Victorian citizen. Bush access isn’t only a matter for Victorians but for all Australians and via a digital petition we may be able to engage a very broad response. I for one would be more than pleased to sign both, share the digital petition on my social media feed and I know of many people that would be pleased to sign and share the electronic petition too. There are many prospectors with large social media followers which I’m sure would get behind this petition. Let’s make our voices heard.

AuTitch great idea mate, but unfortunately the State government will not except electronic petition, as they say you could have cooked the book by just taking names out of the phone book.

Just letting everyone know that we have now created a new Face Book page to deal with the State Park issue. This way it will free up all the PMAV sites so they can carry on with other business and not clogging up the works.
The new site is Called" Bush Users United" all are welcome to join and to keep up to date with the State Forest fight.

Good on ya Bill & to all the organisers/various club members & people who participated in this worthwhile event, for the action, always speaks louder than words.
By the way, was that "Millsy" I saw in that chair holding/waving the Eureka Flag?

Cheers Kon

Hey Kon you should have gone to "Speck Savers"
wombat

My apologies for the poor misinterpretation of mistaken Identity there Grandfather Johnson. Its been some time since I saw Tony last.
Bill, would you believe 6 weeks back I had two pairs made at Specsavers, but for driving purposes only (a pair of anti-glare Polaroids & a pair of clear for TV watching) but was asked if I wanted a pair of reading glasses as well, of which I said no to because, I was comfortable using the standard $25 pair (2.25 x reading glasses) off the shelf.
Looks like back I go for a pair of reading glasses better suited to each eye, before I start seeing things that aren't there hey?

Cheers gents.

No worries at all Kon all is good, I make small mistakes on a daily basis Cheers Bruce
