PMAV General News, Member Information & Updates

Hi Wombat & Pat,

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 isnt 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 Im sure would get behind this petition. Lets make our voices heard.

Damn _ I could've made that - BUT- It's just dawned on me that I can't remember seeing a membership renewal email from PMAV or the West Gippsland Branch since COVID overturned our world.
