[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 241821, member: 2976"] It's just incredible that a government department is allowed to conduct itself in such a manner LC76. If I did to them what they have done to me, it would be called fraud and I would be hauled before the court. Part of the money is legally recoverable. They are obliged to return the bond money payed on the applications. However, the money spent on the prospecting permit and the required advertising fee to allow notification for objections is gone. The cost of legal action would almost certainly well exceed the loss so it would make more financial sense to just suck it up. Until they respond to me, I can only assume that they either knew or should have known that they were approving me to peg in an area that could not be pegged and so are guilty of gross negligence and dereliction of duty, or alternatively that new legislation has been passed in the interim that supplants the old legislation under which my applications were legal and above board - in which case they are applying legislation retrospectively which is both despicable and potentially illegal, although being a government department they will do such things with impunity anyway. I'll just have to wait and see what happens. One thing is for sure - I will [b]never again[/b] walk into a mines department office in Queensland, unless it's to get my bond money back :mad: :mad: :mad: . [/QUOTE]
