Vote then public officials out and elect new constituents. Government overreach. BS needs to stop on a global scale.
Woke leftover bureaucrats from well off family background. They want to rule like Big Communist Leaders, some animals are more equal. They take 1984 as a manual. They don't want to be questioned, because they cannot defend themselves logically, Puppets of old forces.
Agreed
Think they've already proved votes doesn't matter after changing rules/laws and literally on camera rigging it .... the only way it's going to stop is after everyone's balls drop and stand up against them
Governments around the world trying to keep the little people down
class action law suit
This can't be legal call everyone
Politicians all over the world, they haven’t got a clue, making rules & changing rules to suit themselves
Who will this suit? It's Mindarie all over again
You mean to suit the ones lining their pockets
to suit their paymasters, BlackRock
Lol these people living on welfare whilst digging .
What do you expect failed lawyers to know. Professional liars.
Keep mining, they will NEVER know whos working where, especially underground, stockpile your opal, and sell it on line, DO NOT COMPLY WITH CROOKED GOVERNMENT'S, keep going, all the very best.
Australia is a very big place
They admitted they stuffed up but stil they stop u on ur mine n thats loss of earnings so get together n sue them for there fuk up n loss of wages stoppin u mining wen u done nothn wrong
Keep mining fuck em
Same ol same ol with EVERY tier of government! "It's our FAULT! BUT! You have to sort it out for us"!
So sorry for all of you, hope there will be light at the end of your tunnel ❤
UNFAIR GOVERNMENT.
Every miner in that room needs to come together and sue them. The government made a mistake and blame the miners and it´s fucked up.
Agree, clearly no thought was put into this decision
How can you not tell us what the "government error" was?
I am from Wisconsin which is in US. My hearts go out to you. I didn't hear the reason why the government is doing this. I d know when it comes t the government nothing good comes from it. Hope you can fight this.
Sounds like the government wants a bigger slice of the miners pie at the miners cost !
Go ahead, you do all the work. Government just wants the goodies and they might pat you on the head for 'giving' it to them. Aren't they nice? NOT!!
Like the banks if you screw up its your fault ,if they screw up it s your fault remove all the gov liabilaties and put it on the citizens .
I didn't vote for them
this is outrageous!!! Fix your own damn mistakes and compensate others. Bloody hell!
Up here, in Queensland the state Gov is desperate to transition small mining to go chase Critical minerals, they drag you through the dirt appon renewals and applications, for gold and Gemstone permits, their failure is to realize these are Gateway activities to chasing the Blacksands and they have no chance of meeting their Critical targets without a "Wartime" effort of the Artisanal miners.
Government: You need to pay $100 per week to breath our oxygen. But don't worry, you can eat all the sand you want. Just don't drink any water.
Government interference in a person's ability to make a living, will get the government changed! Praying for you all. The end of this video was awful!
I hope Quest TV will give an in-depth coverage of this issue from the perspective of the opal miners.
Shame on that government!
DO NOT COMPLY
Sad to see it all stop... might check back next year.
Bullshit...no one is paying more than $10K for that: it's rubbish.
It's all been resolved this is from last year I believe my brother is out there now at a mine
I've been looking around but can't find much info. Does anyone know what the hell is going on now and what repercussions this BS now means for our bloody ledgends out there?
They the Dept have been slowly going through the process of re-issuing new titles, its a complicated process and takes time. However the result is that more than 50% of the claims have not been renewed, the owners/miners have decided its just to difficult and walked away. So a government bureaucrat who is no doubt on $250k plus a year has destroyed the Lightning Ridge Opal mining Industry, and no one gives a stuff, no one is sacked, she is still collecting her tax payer funded salary. The NSW Govt has announced a Inquiry to be conducted by a former Attorney General for NSW, he put out a discussion paper in late Dec 2022, and invited public submissions which has now closed, the timeline is that Inquirey will hand down its finding to the NSW Govt in July, for the Govt to consider. But its looking very likely that the whole Industry will be facing higher charges and stricter regulation, thats my reading of it, its an opinion and you know opinions are like A / holes, everyone has one. In other words Opal Mining in NSW may be facing implosion as an industry, strangled by Govt Red Tape and a bureaucracy who cannot stand individuals who do not conform to societal norms.
Greedy criminal government.
Any involvement by the government, whether it be local, state, or federal, means one the..disaster..
That was a classic.😂
Class action all the way.
They have never worked a job in their life
What a kick in the teeth
The dangerous component sulfuric acid and you had your mask sitting on the drum. 🙄
Unbelievable
Should have ever Post it on social media
Take a portable welder and rebuild the teeth on the spot.
They keep moving the goalposts, changing the rules in the Middle of the game should be illegal yeah ?
I very much enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Are they going to give the land back to the "Orignal Owners" I wonder 🤔
This is interesting, 😮 must research..
When the government is so grossly incompetent, you just continue doing what you've been doing. It's not been a problem for nine years, it's not a problem now. They can let you know when they've got their crap straight.
class action lawsuit
it is gross criminal negligence from government and they are not above the law
They really suck shutting you down!
We need a revolution
theres something that happens to a persons brain when applying for role in the gov
Yeah- well,WHATS THE ERROR . ?
And there was no need to shut down everyone’s jobs.they’re working what they requested for and this could’ve been fixed internally , at several hundred permits- your talking fixable internally- you haven’t got hundreds of thousands. How ludicrous
So what’s the reason why are the claims not valid……something doesn’t smell right here
I hope these miners take the govt to court over this those blood thirsty scumbags cancelling their right to make a living.
Fight back !
😮 How disgusting treating people like this. These people work so hard for their money. To have their entire livelihood just snatched away from them. Because the government cocked out somewhere is awful. why?
Don't they take it out of the politician's salaries? And whoever the pen pusher was who put the.in the wrong place on some form somewhere. My thoughts are with all those miners and their families.
In the US here we automatically lose half of what we make and then some. Cuz of taxes were screwed we can't afford medication or keep I g the lights on so I feel this
Tax is actually illegal. You cañ get out of paying that in the USA as IRS defunct
just wanting a cut of there profits after reading how much they find. also they know where its found etc . suspect as government. hope you get refunds for your permits
why are you getting kicked off your claims
😤🤬😡🤬‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ Best Wishes to All of You ❤️ Try to Stay Strong through this Sh*t Storm 👍💙🧡❤️💚🖤🩵🩷💜🧡
Government mission is to make your life as difficult as possible….
Turning our country into South Africa!!
Remember mintabie , now would it have something to do with geological survey planes flying grids 18months 2 yrs earlier. ? This is criminal in a corporate and political level . Remember big Miner s find bigger ways to pay less tax and spend in the community. Australia needs more small miners less red tape , I know what I'm spending just so I can make a start . My community is benifits my state benifits and the route to the opal fields benifits and then there is the town in which I have purchased property. Money needs to flow , then taxes can be paid it's that simple. What happened in lightning ridge and mintabie is a stockade moment never again
Dirty trick to play on all of these miners! They made the mistake so they should make good their mistake not expect hundreds of miners to take then punch!! Bad Form!!
all about the money nothing else
Ignor them
The more Aussiez lean to the Americans, corruptions shall always follow with the super rich becoming a curse.
All the miners need to stay together and keep mining, it was the governments mistake, as long as they stay together then what can the government do, prosecute all of them?
We are a small Industry, yes they would. At the same time, with a single stroke of the pen, they have left approx 400 peoples residents, their homes untitled and on very unsecured tenure. Nobody in Govt cares much, small remote country community, as far they are concerned we are all pretty much vermin anyway, expendable vermin at that.
TF did she say?
I can’t understand her either
Sounds like standard government @#ck up and instead of fixing the issue from.their side punish the hard working people who rely on this income.
Would be interested to see what it would cost to renew your lease and how many get bought out by bigger companies shutting more of our assets to be accessed by the few
These people are living in less than ideal conditions because they love doing what they do and they contribute to the economy so why interfere and change the laws.If there is value in the ground and a benefit for the people that are gambling with their toil and it’s not as if they are millionaires isn’t it better than relying on the government to support them.
Wow this makes me angry!.. Bloody government changing th rules at their will.. I hope for th sake of every miner there tht this gets sorted for you guys asap.. It's not just an income for you guys, it's ur life's blood!.. I really hope to be able to get there one day soon and try my luck as wel.. Fingers crossed th government pulls their heads in..
Typical bloody government. You made the mistake, you fix it. These poor minors are not the issue
That’s Terrible😡
Let's go Brandon! FJB. >.>
Lmao keep digging guys whos the government going to send down the hole to stop you 😂😂
What happened to a fair go. I thought that was what the Labour Party was about. What a way to earn trust amongst your core voters
Well I hope they refund the moners for the claim\licence fees and give priority for a given lease to holders of the claims that they have just voided. If this is just some bullshit to gazump claims and leases out from under people someone is going to wind up down deep hole somewhere.
Disgusting
Asce opal hunters workers clear all mine ING permits ❤😂😂❤❤❤😮😊😊😊
Not real opal miners: they don't have a clue. They are what is causing problems in the game.
The misfits you mean ? Yes had very similar thoughts myself, have risked my life digging people like them out of a collapsed mine on many occasions. But I guess they have to have a show, and the sugar coated rubbish they were valuing at $180k, and these clowns make a show I guess.
Wtf
Well don't take it so something about it gov all government is useless today especially the us government
Wrong so wrong
remember this when you go to vote next time sack the goverment they have no idea about lots of stuff
