seriously Archie it is a wast of time, there is no positive to this except someone in the DPI dept has proven to his boss he has a purpose for being there,
the written consent thing you have in NSW is just rubbish and not necessary
why? what farmer wants to waste his time doing this crap instead of farming? I have to get a written permission in Victoria for permission to shoot pest animals in certain areas and it is a hindrance to most farmers who cant be bothered or think this may mean they will loose control of who has permission to be on there land
and when has a written consent or app ever stopped a poacher?
IMO a waste of time and money
