Wonder if someNSW fossicking areas were effected

[Jimnyjerry]

"A scathing auditor-general's review found half of all Crown land sales and 97 per cent of leases between 2012 and 2015 were negotiated with just one party, with no public expression-of-interest process."

There are a lot of leased areas in State Forests that are no go areas that fossickers would love to access.

I love how they break the news in a WA newspaper .... This has been going on for a while now    Wonder how the Review of National Parks is going as well....No doubt some of our Fossicking areas will be affected by the Government Steamroller.....

Yes - well being in the Sydney CBD we hear about some of the crap that goes on.  Is pretty much criminal and it would be good to see are restrospective review of all sales and people held accountable!  If the whole Obeid thing hasn't triggered this it probably won't happen - too many scared policians and people with interest!
