The downpour makes it tough to be homeless Kate McIntosh

The ongoing wet weather is making life even tougher for those living on the streets, according to a local homeless advocate. John Lee from You’ve Got a Friend said homeless people were taking shelter from the recent deluge anywhere they could, including bus shelters and under buildings. Mr Lee, who heads outreach services from Coolangatta to Murwillumbah, says he had been making almost daily visits to homeless people in the region, to provide dry blankets and other supplies.

This week he provided assistance to a 62-year-old woman in Tweed Heads who he found huddled in a sleeping bag in a puddle of water. He says the weather conditions have been extremely testing to those already in a desperate situation. ‘They just keep moving to try and find shelter,’ he said. ‘Honestly, it’s horrendous. They’re all battling. ‘Their clothes just get completely soaked and there’s nowhere they can take a shower. It’s a very depressing situation.’ Mr Lee says numbers are also down at a weekly Sunday breakfast organised by You’ve Got a Friend as the weather is making travel difficult for marginalised people living in isolated areas in the Tweed hinterland. The You Have a Friend organisation currently serves more than 300 meals a week at breakfast, lunch

and night outreaches in Coolangatta, Chinderah and Murwillumbah. He says up to 50 people sleep rough in the Tweed/Coolangatta area on any given night – most are middle-aged or elderly. Mr Lee, who has been campaigning for the establishment of a dropin centre, says support services in Tweed are stretched to breaking. The lack of crisis accommodation means many homeless men, women and children are being forced to ‘camp’ in cars, under buildings and near churches.

Highest rate in NSW Mr Lee says despite the 2006 Census finding Tweed Heads had the highest homelessness rate per capita in NSW, support services remain chronically under-funded. He says the state government and local authorities needed to work together to tackle homelessness.

Tweed Council general manager Mike Rayner has scuttled a last-ditch attempt to disqualify a councillor from taking part in next week’s vote aimed at overturning new height and density controls for Hastings Point. He’s found a complaint alleging Cr Phil Youngblutt shouldn’t take part in the vote because of a conflict of interest wasn’t worthy of an investigation by the council’s conduct review committee (CRC). Mr Rayner’s use of his executive powers to stop the complaint being considered by the independent CRC has drawn fire from residents trying to stop the hard-fought planning controls from being overturned. Hastings Point Progress Association president Julie Boyd alleged Cr Youngblutt had a conflict of interest when he voted last month against the new two-storey height limits because his brother was employed as a resident caretaker on a site earmarked for a major development in the village. Ms Boyd contended Cr Youngblutt rightly declared a non-pecuniary interest and didn’t take part in a recent council decision to fine the owner of the creek-front site $3000 for unauthorised fence works – and should have done the same last month. But Mr Rayner disagreed, saying Cr Youngblutt’s brother was not a property owner and as such the councillor has no direct private interest in the Hastings Point planning controls. He told Ms Boyd in a letter rejecting her complaint that it didn’t matter whether the two were close

friends or relatives, even though Cr Youngblutt said he caught up with his brother only a couple of times a year. ‘In consideration of that degree of closeness I doubt that there would be a councillor who would not be conflicted in dealing with a Kingscliff, Murwillumbah or Tweed Heads DCP [Development Control Plan],’ he said. ‘Clearly the more generalised nature of the issue the less likely a councillor’s decision will be influenced by any private interest they may have.

‘No breach of code’ ‘I have determined that there is no prima facie evidence of a breach of the code of conduct relating to the non-declaration of a non-pecuniary interest.’ But resident and solicitor John O’Reilly has called on Mr Rayner to rethink his decision, saying serious breaches of the law required addressing. In a letter, Mr O’Reilly said the brother was employed on site by Walter Elliott Holdings which had plans before the Department of Planning for a major housing and resort project which the new DCP would significantly impact on. He said it contained specific conditions, including new environmental buffer zones, which restricted the development potential of the land and could force the developer to sellup and walk away, likely having an adverse impact on Mr Youngblutt’s employment and residential status. He says it’s inaccurate to say the continued on page 2

High flying author touches ground

Like maybe a new MacBook Air? We have them

Phil Latz led a life of such daring and adventure that being diagnosed with cancer merely rated as a blip in comparison. The 73-year-old former helicopter pilot, who once crash landed on Ayers Rock, has enjoyed a career that took him to some of the world’s most challenging and demanding environments. Since retiring, Phil has channelled his energies into writing his memoirs. His self-published autobiography, Flying With My Angel: Surviving Religion, Sex and Helicopters, charts his early life growing up on an outback Lutheran mission to his split with religion over the fallout of an ill-fated love affair with a Catholic girl whom his family disapproved of – and his subsequent globetrotting adventures and considerable romantic conquests. His book, which took six years to complete and spans 60 years, is based on his personal journals, flying logbooks, as well as his mother’s diary, which he had translated from German. Three years ago, while still working on his book, Phil was diagnosed with malignant cancer of the larynx – news he took in his stride. ‘I wasn’t even fazed,’ he said. ‘It was peanuts compared to what I’d been through.’ The son of German speaking missionaries, Phil – who now

Phil Latz has written a book about his colourful life as a globe trotting helicopter pilot and engineer.

lives at Stokers Siding – had an austere, if somewhat unconventional upbringing, shadowed by the threat of World War II. Growing up in Hermannsburg in Central Australia in a largely Aboriginal community, Phil’s childhood was one marked by hardship, deprivation, but also incredible freedom and tenacity. ‘Growing up with Aborigines you develop very sharp in-

stincts and reflexes necessary for survival in the desert,’ he said. After dabbling with a career in the mines and as a mechanic, Phil set his sights on pursuing his dream as a helicopter pilot and engineer. His work was to take him to more than a dozen countries, including Bangladesh, Papua New Guinea, Saudi Arabia and Kenya. He was involved in major

offshore drilling, mining and infrastructure projects, often in extremely dangerous and unpredictable conditions. In 1992 he travelled to Cambodia to supervise the operations of aircraft sent to assist the UN who were monitoring the country’s first elections since feared despot Pol Pot was deposed. Phil’s 45-year career also included stints with multinational giants Shell, Rio Tinto, BP and Chevron. Notably, he had a lucky escape after crashing his helicopter on Ayers Rock while filming a major TV commercial and today remains the only person to have crash landed at the historic site. More used to the language and jargon of technical flight manuals, Phil said making the transition to the personal for his book proved difficult. ‘My editor kept saying “For God sake Phil, get some emotion in there”.’ he said. ‘I was a bit like the ambos – to survive in difficult environments you have to suppress different emotions.’ Since relocating to the Tweed 16 years ago to be with his partner Dinah, Phil says he now enjoys a more settled life. ‘I spent so long at airports and I’ve done so much travel, I’m just very content,’ he said. ‘I don’t get bored at all.’ Flying With My Angel is available at Angus and Robertson and Dymocks, or visit www.phillatz.com.

Pensioners’ rate rebates spark radical new proposal

Tweed Office p 07 5536 6111 f 07 5536 6112 10/69 Wharf St, Tweed Heads NSW 2485

With Integrity & Light

Pensioners’ assets could be sold after their death to recoup rate rebates under a radical plan to help retirement havens like the Tweed avoid bankruptcy. The proposal is contained in a University of New England study which Tweed Council cites in a plea to all major political parties to ease the growing financial burden caused by the pensioner rebates scheme. It follows concerns raised in a secret report to council and by mayor Kevin Skinner about the impacts that the long-running rebates scheme was having on council’s finances. Cr Skinner sparked the ire of pensioner groups when he told a recent council meeting he worried about the ‘incredible amount of money’ the halfprice rebate was costing the cash-strapped council. His comments follow a report showing the council paid $1.35 million towards the rates subsidy last financial year, with the state government picking up the tab for a similar amount. According to the study paper given to councillors, the problem will worsen with the baby boomer generation expected to

Chairman of the disbanded Tweed Economic Development Corporation, Tom Senti, also raised concerns about the Tapping capital gains economic impact of the shire’s The second is to allow NSW ageing population in his final councils to introduce a scheme report to the council. where pensioners ultimately funded their own concessions through the capital gains reaped DCP is a generalised matter on the sale of their homes. ‘They could deduct the akin to the consideration of amount of the rate concessions any DCP or LEP in any other they received during the owner- town or village. ‘The number of times that ship of their residence, either upon their death or on their Cr Youngblutt might catch up transfer to another location,’ with his brother hardly adthe university’s centre for local dresses the existence of the interest that is in conflict,’ Mr government paper said. ‘Under this funding arrange- O’Reilly said. ‘This is not a generalised ment, generally referred to as a reverse mortgage, the pensioner matter but a very specific one reach retirement age in the next few years. ‘Many intend to relocate to the coast in their retirement and a sizeable portion will be eligible for council pensioner rebates, likely placing further strain on the finances of affected coastal councils,’ the study finds. The paper offers two alternatives. The first involves the federal government taking responsibility for rebate concessions, similar to the way it provides unemployment benefits and aged pensioner allowances and payments.

<echowebsection=Local News>

The report, which was originally stamped ‘commercial in confidence’ but later released after it was leaked to the media, noted that in 2006 22 per cent of the shire’s population was over 65 years and 35 per cent was over 55 years of age. ‘Population projections suggested that by 2031, 38 per cent of the Tweed’s population will be over 65 years which equates to 45,600 people (with 8,700 being over 85 years of age),’ Mr Senti said. ‘What will be the economic impact on the council’s ability to provide essential infrastructure to support sustainable socioeconomic growth and the impact on its financial stability and sustainability?’ he asks.

Last-ditch efforts to save koalas Murray Simpson

The thumbscrews are being applied to the Tweed Shire Council to take urgent action to preserve the remnants of the region’s once thriving koala population. The flashpoint is the gigantic 856ha development at Kings Forest, approved in September, with provision for up 4,500 homes. Unfortunately it is also home to one of the Tweed Coast’s three remaining koala colonies. Environment and koala groups are urging Tweed residents to lodge submissions with the council to protect the last of the koalas. Ardent koala activist Jenny Hayes says the clock is ticking for the colony unless proper protection measures are put in place and it would be devastating if all there was left was just a memory. ‘I’ve lived here all my life and can’t bear the thought that our children won’t know them,’ she said.

Koala advocate Jenny Hayes with one of the animals threatened by huge new developments about to destroy their habitat.

Key elements are a ban on dogs and cats and the provision of a fauna overpass on the development’s proposed fourlane highway. ‘Ideally we’d like to see restrictions similar to those applying at Koala Beach which include a 40km/h speed limit, dim street lights and elevated

houses so koalas can pass underneath,’ she said. This week the council’s Koala Advisory Committee chairman Dot Holdom claimed the council’s powers were limited. But Ms Hayes, who is also on the committee, said the council had the planning powers to make a difference. It was

more a matter of will-power. The Tweed Heads Environment Group has also entered the fray with president Richard Murray claiming the council’s performance was woeful compared with what was happening north of the border. ‘While new koala refuges are being created in southeast Queensland, the Tweed Shire Council has yet to provide protection for the Tweed Coast’s last three koala colonies,’ he said. ‘The last three colonies at Kings Forest, Round Mountain and Pottsville need immediate protection. ‘The Tweed’s failure to conserve the koala will mean our children and grandchildren will not experience koalas in the wild.’ He said the current population represented only ten per cent of that existing in 1996. ‘For koalas to have any chance of survival at Kings Forest minimum standards for koala protection need to be put in place.’

Dozens of Tweed Coast apartments and townhouses held by collapsed Tweed developer Resort Corp have been sold off by the company’s mortgagee. Resort Corp, run by Tweed lawyer Paul Brinsmead, the son of former Tweed deputy mayor Bob Brinsmead, and his brother in law Peter Madrers, was put into voluntary administration last year with debts of $300 million but continued to trade out of difficulties through a deed of company arrangement (DOCA). The arrangement involved the sale of all company assets over 30 months to repay creditors. News Ltd financial reporter Tracey McBean reported that a Sydney funds manager headed by former Macquarie Group senior executive Bill Moss had recently bought the 71 homes

within Resort Corp projects Beach Shacks and the five-star Santai resort, at Casuarina. Mr Brinsmead was named by the 2004 Daly Inquiry as a central figure who organised a developer-backed slush fund called Tweed Directions which channeled hundreds of thousands of dollars to the campaign war chests of prodevelopment councillors who eventually controlled council.

‘Developer puppets’ The council was sacked by the state government in 2005 after the inquiry described majority councillors as ‘developer puppets’. Two members of that sacked council, Crs Warren Polglase, the then mayor, and Dot Holdom, were relected in the 2008 council election. Mr Moss, who retired as Macquarie’s head of property and investment banking in

2007, founded the independent advisory and funds management firm Moss Capital last year. The deal with the Resort Corp mortgagee, believed to be Capital Finance, involved 49 one- and two-bedroom apartments in Santai and 22 townhouses in Beach Shacks. The fund manager is making the acquisition on behalf of a consortium of investors. The report said Mr Brinsmead and Mr Madrers have since partnered with India’s Pearls Infrastructure Group to seek property opportunities in Australia and late last year they brokered the $62.5 million sale of the Sheraton Mirage on the Gold Coast to Pearls after meeting the company’s executives during a campaign in India to sell Resort Corp assets. Santai and Beach Shacks are among several developments

Dear Mrs Product Tester, Phew!! What a great Christmas, I’ve been busy, busy, busy… eating, eating, eating… and drinking, drinking, drinking. I think I’ve put on about 5kg. How was your Christmas? Joy Dear Joy, Well I must admit, mine was a little quieter then yours, we’ve been keeping a pretty low profile. What with all the rain I’m starting to grow webbed feet. I always make a point of never letting the rain dampen my spirit. Over the holidays we’ve been walking (getting in training for the Great Ocean Walk!). I’ve been walking with my new Shelta umbrella, a real pretty girly one with butterflies on it. Sometimes I’ve even had to wear my lightweight rain jacket. Then last week we went canoeing (ask Tony about getting up close and personal with the fish ladder at slippery crossing). He reckoned he couldn’t let Lucy have all the fun! Luckily the hardware shop sells fibreglass repair kits, and yes, it rained again but it didn’t really matter ’cause we were all wet already! So just because it’s a bit wet, it doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy yourself. You just need the right gear. I know of this little shop in Murwillumbah called Outdoorism;, it’s got all your wet weather needs. So get out and enjoy! Your friend Cathy

A chance photograph in a NSW pine plantation is taking Hastings Point resident Ebony Rowe all the way to rainforests of Sri Lanka. The 29-year-old photography enthusiast is the winner of CameraPro’s Rainforest Rescue Photographic Competition. The national photography competition aimed to raise awareness of Rainforest Rescue’s operations in Sri Lanka and Indonesia. The not-for-profit organisation works to re-establish rainforests through planting, maintenance and restoration programs, as well as purchasing and protecting high conservation value rainforest and preserving its biodiversity. As winner, Ebony will take part in the 12-day Ride for the Rainforest 2011 Sri Lanka Cycle Challenge, which is worth $6,000. As well as cycling through the stunning rainforests of Sri Lanka and visiting temples, villages and national parks, Ebony will also participate in the organisation’s reforestation efforts. She finishes up in the World Heritage listed city of Galle, with time to relax on the

beach before heading home. The trip will be Ebony’s first outside Australia. She says she is looking forward to the challenge and experiencing the Sri Lankan culture first-hand. ‘I am absolutely thrilled to win this amazing trekking trip to see the reforestation work of Rainforest Rescue in Sri Lanka,’ Ebony said. ‘It will be good to challenge myself physically and get out of my comfort zone.’ The photographic competition, with the theme ‘Our Changing World’, was

designed to give amateur photographers and tertiary students the opportunity to showcase their work of a changing environment. Ebony’s beautifully composed photo ‘Against All Odds’ (reproduced above) shows a small tree struggling upwards amidst a cleared forest. Ebony said the picture, which was taken on a trip to Tooloom National Park in northwest NSW, dramatically illustrates man’s impact on the natural world. Ebony, who entered the competition after hearing

about it through a friend on Facebook, said she never expected to win. She says the prize will help fulfil her dream of travelling overseas, which she had previously been unable to afford. A keen amateur photographer since high school, Ebony says she prefers candid portraits and landscapes to staged or set-up shots. ‘I’m not very good at describing things in words, but with photography I like the way you can capture an emotion for artistic reason or for memory,’ she said.

Cabarita youth make colourful statement The newly launched site of the Cabarita Youth Service is off to a colourful start. About 20 young people were involved in the mural project, led by local artist Lorraine Abernathy, who was commissioned by the Tweed Shire Council to do workshops on the planning, design and painting of the mural on the shopfront of the Cabarita Youth Service building. The mural reflects the young people’s different interpretations of Cabarita.

The project was initiated by Cabarita Beach Business Association which currently oversees Cabarita Youth Service operations. Tweed Shire Council youth development officer Sylvia Roylance said the mural is a positive example of council collaborating with community groups to deliver  community-based programs. The Cabarita Youth Service helps young people aged 13-18 years and their families access information, as well as a range

of other services, including an after-school and holiday activity program, youth worker support, and referrals to other community services. The service has been running almost two years and celebrated the launch of its new headquarters in Bogangar last October.

 Tony Abbott’s dam plan has had a happy reception at the Tweed Shire Council which is doggedly persisting with the Byrrill Creek dam scheme despite being knocked back by the state government. Opposition leader Tony Abbott launched his dam plan this week after touring floodravaged Queensland claiming it would reduce the impact of floods and boost food security. A delighted Tweed Shire mayor Kevin Skinner said he embraced the national dam plan. ‘It was about time someone started looking at the bigger picture,’ he said. Cr Skinner said Mr Abbott’s announcement breathed life back into the Byrill Creek scheme. Cr Skinner had used his casting vote twice to push though the Byrill Creek plan only to have it scuppered by NSW Water Minister Philip Costa in late December. In a letter to Save Byrill Creek campaign spokeswom-

an Joanna Gardner, Mr Costa said his decision was based on the ‘high environmental and world heritage values of the Byrrill Creek area and the availability of other water supply options for Tweed Shire.’ These options include raising the Clarrie Hall Dam wall. Council officers are currently reviewing the implications of Mr Costa’s decision and Cr Skinner has said the issue is not dead in the water.

Enormous damage As a result, Mr Abbott’s grand plan has come as music to his ears. ‘Enormous damage has been caused by a lack of foresight in this country for some time,’ said Cr Skinner. The Abbott plan is aimed at taking the heat out the Murray-Darling restructure issue, and as a spinoff offers a glimmer of support for the Tweed scheme. ‘With our weather the way it is with cyclonic weather, it is an obvious statement – just another plus for building a second dam,’ Cr Skin-

mural mentor Loraine Abernathy is in the foreground, with Matt Cotter, Youth Activities Officer, standing left.

ner told media. ‘Not only would it assure water for the future, you would have flood prevention. ‘If you’ve got two dams, you can release them to half capacity and still have the equivalent of one dam and alleviate some the of the problems we have here on the coast,’ he said. But anti-dam campaigner Andrea Vickers said Cr Skinner was grasping at straws. She said building dams flew in the face of current expert opinion. ‘There are far smarter ways of tackling water conservation which the council is slow to address,’ she said. ‘There are many ways people can help themselves with water conservation and with a bit of visionary government support at all levels we can avoid building huge dams with all the environmental implications they carry.’ The dam issue is likely to be a hot topic at the council community access meeting this week where Joanna Gardner is expected to speak.

Going to extremes now natural for weather Volume 3 #18

January 13, 2011

Transparency Council general manager Mike Rayner has decided that Cr Phil Youngblutt is acting perfectly properly in voting on building controls for Hastings Point, and will therefore not allow the matter to be taken further. As a consequence, he is making the judgement that there is also no conflict of interest in the councillor being involved in the calling of a rescission motion that has had the effect of delaying introduction of the controls. Cr Youngblutt’s brother is the caretaker of a property owned by a developer whose interests are affected by the regulations. Council’s new height and density controls will prevent the intended large-scale redevelopment of the property (unless they are overridden by the Department of Planning). The argument is a familiar one. Sticking strictly to the letter, if not the spirit, of the code, Cr Youngblutt has no direct pecuniary interest in the matter, and therefore it is up to him to decide if he has a conflict. Mr Rayner believes that if this non-pecuniary interest were to be taken seriously, there would hardly be a councillor who would not similarly have a friend or relative affected by council’s planning laws somewhere in the shire. Generally speaking this would be true, but we are not speaking generally but specifically. There is a property due to come under planning restrictions, which has already been identified as a major development, and the brother of a councillor depends for his livelihood on the success of that development. In the interests of transparency, Cr Youngblutt’s conduct in this matter should at least be examined. Transparency, or lack of it, was of course the main criticism aimed at the previous council, which was sacked by the state government. That council allowed the perception to arise that developers received unduly favourable treatment, to the detriment of the environment, infrastructure, assets and interests of the ordinary ratepayer. Transparency, or lack of it, was also the charge levelled against the general manager when he refused to admit a conflict of interest in sitting on the board of the motor rally. Mr Rayner’s interest was also non-pecuniary (in acting for the benefit of that organisation he was not paid), so it is easy to understand that he feels unable to accept the criticism directed at Cr Youngblutt.

or the first couple of weeks of 2011 the big story has been the weather – it well and truly pushed politics off the front pages. But not for long. Not that the weather is likely to get all that much better, but that’s not the point. From here on in it will become inextricably entangled with politics. Indeed, to some extent it already has. When Tony Abbott went to Queensland to inspect the flood damage, he made it clear that his main objective was not to express sympathy and compassion for the victims, but to gather political ammunition. He was there, he announced, to check up on the government’s relief measures, to make sure there was no more waste. And then he sent his hapless Mr Fixit, Andrew Robb, into a committee stacked with irrational Nationals to mastermind the construction of lots of new dams. These, he said, would not only prevent flooding, but would also store water against future droughts and generate lots of clean electricity. As various experts hurried to inform him, this was all nonsense: dams were hugely expensive and also environmentally damaging and if they were to be built at all it had to be for a well formulated purpose, not just as some kind of political panacea. And in any case the real problem was towns located in floodplains; how do you dam a floodplain? But Abbott was happy to have struck the first blow, and followed it with a demand that the implementation of reforms for the MurrayDarling system be postponed for at least a year because he didn’t like them. Julia Gillard, meanwhile, stuck to the traditional script, being shocked and sorrowful

and promising relief. But if she was genuinely depressed by the human suffering she saw, she must have been equally horrified at the budgetary implications. Quite apart from the billions needed to repair the damage, the loss of revenue from exports of minerals and primary produce will be horrendous; so much for getting back into surplus in 2013. And domestic prices will rise

2001; true, but that’s because the last decade was the hottest on record. And in fact 2010 was hotter than the average from 1960 to 1990, suggesting that yes, there is a trend. And most importantly in 2010 the sea surface temperatures were also the highest on record, which may or may not have contributed to the La Nina – we just don’t know. Looking more widely, in

Global warming means that as more energy is trapped in the earth’s system, the weather patterns grow more chaotic. by Mungo MacCallum dramatically, causing a sudden inflationary spike and the prospect of another interest rate rise. The Reserve Bank may be persuaded to discount the increase in the Consumer Price Index as a one-off event, but is it really? Floods like these are supposed to be one in a hundred years events, but in fact parts of Queensland have been hit by similar disasters three times in the last two years, and the weather bureau reckons 2011 is shaping up to be the mother of them all. Certainly some of the problem can be blamed on an unusually intense La Nina, which is unlikely to be repeated soon – or at least it would have been unlikely under the patterns of the last century. But it just could be that the times have moved on; that, like politics, the weather has entered a new paradigm. Which brings us inevitably to climate change. The sceptics are, of course, not convinced, pointing out that in Australia 2010 was the coldest year since

amassing data from 189 nations and territories across the globe the World Meteorological Organisation calculated that the year to the end of October was the hottest since 1850, when they started keeping records. The northern winter may bring this down a little when the annual figures arrive in March but the experts are predicting that 2010 will still be in the top three. Ah yes, the northern winter: surely such freezing conditions prove that global warming is a myth? Well no, in fact they are more evidence that it is very real indeed. Global warming does not mean a slow, steady increase in temperature across the planet; it mean that as more energy is trapped in the earth’s system, the weather patterns grow more chaotic; extreme events become the norm. Thus we can look forward to an increase in the severity of droughts, floods, storms, cyclones, hurricanes and yes, even blizzards. One possible effect of global

warming might be to push the gulf stream, the northerly current that skirts the west coast of Europe, further out into the Atlantic; if that happens, freezing European winters will become standard. Prepare for an influx of Pommy boat people. And at the same time, at least 17 countries broke their maximum temperature records in 2010 and the ice caps and glaciers continued to retreat. And of course greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere continued to rise. Since 1990 the increase has been 27.5 per cent and there is no sign of any global strategy that will reverse the trend. In the last 30 years the mean global temperature has risen by just half a centigrade degree – and look at what has already happened: 2010 saw the second highest level of natural catastrophes in that 30 years and almost all of them had to do with the weather. Even if the politicians get their act together and agree to stabilise greenhouse emissions at 450 parts per million, which is the most optimistic of all suggested scenarios but still an extremely unlikely one, global temperatures will still rise by another two centigrade degrees – four times the increase to date. You ain’t seen nothing yet. This eventuality should give Gillard and Abbott something to contemplate as they ceaselessly circle each other in an effort to score a point for the evening news; but it probably won’t. They may, however, care to note that the problem so concerns Graeme Wood of Wotif.com that he gave $1.6 million, the largest political donation ever disclosed, to the only party he thought was serious about it – the Greens. If science and objective evidence will not convince our leaders to act, perhaps the hope of money will.

A new invasion Over many years, the people of Queensland have generously sent us their cane toads to help eliminate a NSW cockroach problem. More recently they have sent us their surplus water and top soil. It appears that the generosity of Queenslanders has come to an end and they are ready to reclaim their resources. The Sun Herald on January 9 ran an ad from MyQLDHoliday, headed ‘The Best of Peppers in Queensland’. Among the two Queensland holiday destinations listed in the ad was: ‘Peppers Salt Resort and Spa, Kingscliff ’. Apparently the annexation process has begun and the daylight savings issue has been solved for the Tweed Coast. Neville Jennings

Kingscliff

Evictee blues I wish to express concern regarding the eviction of 11 Long Term Casual (LTC) caravan site holders at the Kingscliff Beach Holiday Park, in particular the selection process which clearly appears to have lacked equity. My family and I have had a site in the park for over 15 years with three generations, including my four-year-old and 20-month-old grandsons, having enjoyed the experience of a beachside caravan park lifestyle. While acknowledging that the Tweed Shire Council Reserve Parks Trust is under no obligation to provide reasons for terminating our site agreement, other than giving the site holders three months’ notice, it would not be out of order to suggest that the Trust has a moral obligation to ensure that the selection process was transparent, and fair and equitable, considering the contribution the evictees have made to the local community (businesses, restaurants, clubs, etc) over many years, Mr Richard Adams, Executive Manager, Tweed Coast Holiday Parks, stated, and I quote, ‘Sites were selected on the basis of (i) beachfront location – as many potential guests turn away due to the unavailability of beachfront sites and (ii) size – to cater for the larger modern caravans. Selection was carried out by three people: Mr Adams, the parks supervisor and the park manager, during a walkthrough of the park.” The following observations raise conjectures of discrimination: t -BDL PG DMFBSMZ EFGJOFE selection criteria apart from beachfront location and size

Last stand for our koalas Looks like native animals are doing it tough all over. Just before Kristina Keneally prorogued parliament, her government approved the concept plan for a 5,000-house, very high density mini-city near Kingscliff for big Labor donator Bob Ell of Leda. A four-lane highway, cars, cats and dogs will wipe out the Tweed Coast’s koala population. Experts say we can still save them except for this approval – Kristina has more to answer for than just electricity. As it had more objections than any development in the history of NSW, and she got most of them while she was planning minister, she cannot pretend she does not know what she is doing. Pity about the poor bloody koalas. Never mind, more billions for a billionaire. Q

Q

east Queensland, Tweed Shire Council is yet to provide protection for Tweed Coast’s last three koala colonies. These remaining koala colonies at Kings Forest, Round Mountain and Pottsville need immediate protection. Otherwise Tweed’s continuing failure to conserve our koala will mean that our children and grandchildren will not experience koalas in the wild. Statistical information indicates that these three koala populations represent only ten per cent of the Tweed Shire koala population that existed prior to 1996. This Tweed Council will be remembered for its environmental credentials, when council will soon assess a koala management plan for the threatened koala colony at King’s Forest (10,900 persons). For the koala to have any chance of survival at Kings Forest, minimum standards for koala protection need to be put in place. The proposed four-lane highway should require koala protective fencing through

‘core’ koala habitat together with fauna under/overpasses. Since dog attacks account for ten per cent mortality on koalas in the nearby areas, prohibiting dogs and cats to conserve fauna should be a planning requirement. Loss of ‘core habitat’ is a key issue for koalas in New South Wales. A 2004 study undertaken by the University of Queensland, Australian Koala Foundation and the New South Wales Department of Environment and Conservation identified the minimum habitat requirements for koala populations must comprise greater than 50 per cent high quality koala habitat and should be configured in large patches of 100 hectares or greater. Sealed roads should be avoided wherever possible within or near to habitat patches. I ask readers to make submissions to council seeking protection for our last koalas. Richard W Murray

Dam issues continue to flow The support by councillors Skinner, Polglase and Youngblutt for damming Byrrill Creek flies in the face of all available scientific opinion and community views. It also runs contrary to the recommendations of council officers. These ‘Three Stooges’, as they have been labelled, consistently vote against the interests of the wider community in support of untrammelled development and exploitation of the Tweed’s precious ecosystem. The list of councils that have made a conscious effort to embrace strategies that improve the sustainability of their operations is very long... but unfortunately does not include Tweed Shire. At meeting after meeting sensible proposals for enhancing council’s approach to sustainability generally, and sustainable development in particular, are rejected out of hand by these supporters of gung-ho development. Every time the community has been asked, whether it be ten years ago, for the development of Tweed Futures, or ten weeks ago, for the development of the Community Strategic Plan, the message came back loud and strong. The community’s priority issue (whether council likes it or not – and whether council ignores it or not) is the protection of the Tweed’s sensitive environment. The current crop of councillors ignore the community’s views at their peril! Q

Byrrill Creek Dam. Instead of acknowledging his poor communication with other levels of government and attempting to rectify his mistakes in order to promote good local governance he has seized on the irrational logic of Tony Abbott’s grand dam plan. Desperately attempting to keep the concept of Byrrill Creek dam alive he now claims that having a new dam will help reduce flood risk! Unfortunately for Skinner he can’t have it both ways; the dam is either for a water supply or it is for flood mitigation, it is impossible to have both. If a dam is to work for flood mitigation it has to remain always empty, and can never be used to supply water. Furthermore, a single dam in one valley does not flood prevention make. Flood prevention would require empty dams on every single creek and river in the entire valley, and once they are filled, their flood prevention capacity is lost. I like to believe that the people of the Tweed are not so easily persuaded by such childish logic as promoted by the mayor, and I hope people realise that building a massive wall across Byrrill Creek will catch only one single rainfall event and will do nothing at all to help alleviate the downstream affects of floods. Sam Dawson

Byrrill Creek

‘the Byrrill Creek Dam is going to be stopped by government legislation, then let it be done as soon as possible.’ On December 17 this NSW legislation occurred: the decision within the Tweed Water Sharing plan was quite specifically based on the high environmental values of Byrrill Creek and the availability of other water supply options for Tweed Shire. It gave an opportunity for council to withdraw gracefully. This recommendation also came early enough to save Tweed ratepayers a lot of money ($67 million for the larger or $45 million for the smaller dam, and the already council committed preapproval plans of $3.6 million). But no, the dam must proceed, according to Mr Skinner in line with Tony Abbott’s ideas about an Australia-wide program for more dams. May I point out that Mr Abbott’s statements about flood mitigation and dams has been scientifically refuted – but then our mayor’s decisions were never based on expert opinion or scientific fact, were they? Our rainwater tanks are ful; over the last month storm water harvesting would have caught megalitres of water and saved turbid runoff into our estuaries. Cobaki could have large tanks and grey water recycling as part of its development approval which will be going through council in the next few months. It is in the hands of the Tweed Council to make a responsible decision at their next meeting on January 18.

Q I ask the Mayor Kevin SkinPumpenbil ner to recollect back to Octo ber/November last year: during Q Mayor Skinner’s denial of his conversation whilst walking state authority has resulted in Byrrill Creek with me, and his Joanna Gardner him and the council being left public statements both on ABC continued on page 9 ‘out of the loop’ in regard to the radio and newspapers, that if Save Byrrill Creek Coordinator

BACK TO SCHOOL SOMETIMES CHILDREN JUST NEED a little encouragement to actually admit that they are excited about returning to school, seeing old friends, and starting a new adventure in learning. Here are some easy tips to make your child’s transition an easy one, from a teacher’s knowledgeable perspective. 1. Have your child start going to sleep a little earlier each day for the week before school. Children need ample sleep to be able to meet the rigors of the academic day with successful attitudes. 2. Make school shopping fun. Get your child excited. Make him/her part of the shopping process. 3. Buy that special folder. If it’s a dollar more because it has some cartoon character on it, eat the extra dollar! Your child will be excited to show off his/her cool folder at school. 4. Look for child friendly tape, glue, pens, and pencils. A litter glitter and color can go a long way toward making a child feel good about his/her school supplies. It’s amazing! 5. Discuss BREAKFAST. Find out what your child will eat for breakfast and make him/her promise to eat breakfast on a daily basis. A hungry, tired child is not a child capable of learning.

Remember that your attitude toward school goes a long way toward inuencing your child’s attitude. Be involved. Be positive. Be active. Let your child know that you are on his/her side. Show him/her that you are excited about his/her academic career. Chances are your child will get excited, too.

The holiday period can demand a lot of a family – especially those with children to keep entertained. The Mums at the Heart Foundation have come together to share their favourite top 10 tips for a happy, healthy, hassle free holiday for everyone: STAR WALKS: Switch off the box and take the family and a few torches out for walks after dinner. Walk on the beach, around your neighbourhood or go to the local park to spot nocturnal wildlife. HOP TO IT: Teach your kids the games you used to play at school – think hopscotch, hand tennis, elastics and French cricket – and join in too. TOY WITH ME: Keep some inexpensive toys put aside for the inevitable “I’m bored, Mum!” like hula hoops, frisbees, kites, volleyball, velcro balls and catching mit. TREAT ’EM RIGHT: Treat children with trips to the park, beach, skate park or local pool rather than food treats.

Dr Chris Jackson says there is an alternative to waiting until your children are older, without missing the epigenetic opportunity for growth potential. Likewise for adults, Dr Inta Rudajs, formerly of Mullumbimby, has developed a special interest in treating chronic facial pain, related to temporomandibular joint (jaw joint) dysfunction.

PIECE OF PIZZA: Ask older children to help prepare the ingredients for pizza and have the children assemble their own dinner. Challenge children to see how many different colours they can get on their pizza and keep it even healthier with reduced fat cheese. TAKE TURNS: Give a friend with kids the afternoon off and invite her children over for a play date with yours – she’ll be happy to take her turn too. WEAR THEM OUT: Team up with another family with kids, pack a picnic, hat, sunscreen and plenty of cool drinks and take the kids on an adventure bushwalk. Keep them going for most of the day and they’ll be in bed early. PUTTING ON AN ACT: Keep younger children busy and active by challenging them to act out their favourite story. Encourage them to spend the afternoon dressing up and rehearsing and put on the performance after dinner. START A VEGGIE PATCH: Encourage the children to dig over a patch of earth or buy planters to turn into your own veggie patch. Allow the children to choose the seedlings they want to plant and encourage them to water, weed, harvest, prepare and cook the produce. FEELING FRUITY: chop up a platter of fruit and keep it in the fridge and let kids help themselves for quick, cool snacks or just keep the fruit bowl well stocked. Frozen seedless white grapes or oranges are thirst quenching and delicious – just allow them to soften for a few minutes before trying to eat them.

beauty Acupuncture & Chinese Herbal Therapy FOR ADDICTIONS AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE Addiction is a complex disorder characterised by compulsive drug use. A senior 2000 Sydney Olympic acupuncturist Joy Zhao from Diamond Bridge Clinic says ‘Acupuncture is rapidly increasing in popularity as an effective aid in the control of many addictions.’ ‘The cravings and withdrawal symptoms experienced by adults giving up alcohol or smoking are alleviated by raising the level of endorphins in the nervous system, which acupuncture can effect by helping alleviate the withdrawals and cravings (Yang aspect) and Chinese Herbs nourish the (Yin aspect); holistically this enables the system to start flowing again.’ Through many years of practice, the seven practitioners at Diamond Bridge Clinics have formulated a unique system in treatment of addictions. The program is customised to suit the needs of the individual, and has a high success rate. Diamond Bridge Clinic Sth Tweed Heads – 07 5523 9388, Mermaid Beach – 07 5575 4337, Runaway Bay – 07 5529 2106, Robina – 07 5578 7730.

The transmitter shines light through the seven chakra colours, and then through the hand crafted crystals that have been harvested from deep in the crystal mines of Brazil. The crystal energy and healing light pulses deep into the body, balancing, re-vitalising, energising the spirit, soul and body. When you receive this healing, you are in direct contact with the healing energy of the Casa De Dom Inacio, created by miracle healer, John of God.

Organic Cotton has a distinct soft feel and energy about it – grown in India, Turkey and Africa (a little now in Australia too) usually by small family farms and communities working together, where the choice to not use chemicals on the crop also stops them being indebted to the chemical agricultural companies.

what’snew CLEAN AND GO GREEN With the new Electrolux vacuum range, you can now help the environment while doing your housework. Electrolux is the latest company to jump on the recycling bandwagon and we think they deserve a pat on the back. Their “Vac from the Sea” range is made up of plastic waste recycled from the ocean. Not only are they environmentally-friendly, but these vacuums also come in five funky patterns. With these vacuums, you can clean with a conscience. Electrolux clearly got the memo that recycling is cool, and we’re happy that now cleaning has a feel-good factor. trendspotting.com.au content source: http://newsroom.electrolux.com image source: www.greenzer.com

Television Guide 1. When too much bonnet drama is never enough, there’s the timeless pleasure of Pride And Prejudice (TEN, Friday, 8.30pm), this 2005 version starring Keira Knightley, among others. 2. Babel (SBS1, Saturday, 10.15pm) is the right title for this thriller as chaos ensues from Morocco to Mexico, with Brad Pitt and the viewer trying to make sense of it. 3. The Black Balloon (ABC1, Sunday, 8.30pm) is a very impressive and moving Australian drama, as two teenagers come of age around a family dealing with an intellectually challenged child. Beautifully acted by the kids and mum Toni Collette.

As we move into the new year, full of things that have never been, this week’s organisational energy is for attending to that overdue business you know needs taking care of…

ARIES: You’re an organising dynamo this week – curious, inquisitive, ambitious. This energy needs channeling via the Balance Dance: too assertive and you’ll run into authority problems, too enthusiastic and you’ll override other people’s valuable input. Shimmying along the tightrope between expressive and receptive? Perfecto! TAURUS: This week’s astral patterns support a sort out: recycling, replacing, giving away, donating or just plain chucking. If old habits start creeping back, give them the flick as well. Shared goals and ambitions blossom; if others are competitive make it into a fun game.

CANCER: A good week for researching the direction you want this year to take, steering a course between over the moon enthusiasm and knock-backs bursting your bubble. If a blast from the past leaves you stirred and shaken, independent action will get you back on track. LEO: In this week of overblown promises and great exaggerations, make sure none of them are yours, pussycat people. Incoming data’s unreliable, so don’t believe everything you hear.

of star support, and who can magick setbacks into wins better than you? VIRGO: Virgos need to feel useful, but if this week seems more obligation than pleasure, whose responsibility’s that? Martyrs just aren’t sexy, so find ways of injecting pleasure into the proceedings. If others seem pushy, be tolerant of their idiosyncrasies as they are of yours. LIBRA: If you haven’t been able to make up your mind lately, this week does it for you by having you speaking out loud and proud to a crowd about what you want and when you want it, which is now. Plus playing calm centre to someone else’s storm… SCORPIO: Scorpios like control, why deny it, and this week needs mind

Dam Busters 2.55 Movie: The Women 5.30 The Garden Gurus

control because your thoughts influence your physical health and feelings about the future. Even if you’re not in the mood, a minimum amount of socialising’s necessary right now for meeting the connections you’re meant to. SAGITTARIUS: Venus in your lively, live it up sign has you in an enterprising, can-do mood, but bite off more than you can chew and watch your body rebel. Other people getting you a touch grumpy? Remember Sagittarian poet Rainer Maria Rilke’s observation: No feeling is final… CAPRICORN: Everybody’s been talking at everyone else with nobody taking much notice, but late week Mercury’s move to Capricorn makes people sit up and listen – especially to what

you’ve got to say. A go-right week on many levels, though probably more expensive than you expected. AQUARIUS: You need to work but you feel like playing, ready to roll but you keep delaying. Things break down and you end up paying. What to do? Perhaps start praying…and keep a notebook handy for recording the precious gems from this week’s mind fireworks. PISCES: This week kicks in the physical stamina and mental energy to follow up on business plans and mend friendships frayed from festive stress before they become irreparable. It also brings the potential for exaggerating bad news out of proportion, so get a reality check from someone sensible.

CHESS

by Ian Rogers Play at Seagulls Club, Thurs 6-10pm With the Australian Open in North Sydney past the halfway point, the tournament has already become a battle between the established Australian Olympians and the young guard. So far, as at the Gold Coast international after Christmas, honours have gone to the youngsters, with Gold Coast winner Junta Ikeda causing the tournament’s biggest upset to date by beating top seed Zhao Zong Yuan. Ikeda, under severe time pressure had been defending stoutly when GM Zhao also ran himself short of time looking for an elusive winning line. (See diagram, right) Here, instead of playing the winning move 39.Kg1, Zhao picked up his queen and placed it on g2. Before his hand had left the piece he noticed that 39... Nxg3+! would be an effective reply, so he looked around for a better square to put the queen; there was none. Chasing the chimera of a win that was no longer possible, Zhao forgot about his

clock and, as he raced to return the queen to g2, exceeded the time limit, losing the game automatically. For all the excitement to date, it must be admitted that the 2011 Australian Open is a low-budget affair, with only one domestic Grandmaster and no foreign stars. The 2011 Open first prize is $2,500, half that of the first Open of the modern era in 1971. With no appearance fees offered to Grandmasters only Zhao Zong Yuan, playing in his hometown, felt it worth competing for the 2011 Open title. Nonetheless, the Open is still a tournament where reputations can be made, and Ikeda is showing that the Olympic selectors may have a new name to consider for Australia’s 2012 team. a

Everything is just Beautiful

Hello? Anybody out there? Two unique Australian bands will be sharing the SoundLounge stage to create a night of music that will be certain to leave an indelible trace on your memory. The Queensland based Mckisko makes subtle and beguiling sounds with poignant lyrical content that leaves listeners exhilirated. For the first time, they will be sharing a double bill with Melbourne band, Hello Satellites. Hello Satellites is the musical project of Melbourne musician Eva Popov. Eva’s beautiful vocals are perfectly matched with the distinctive drumming of Mark Gretton (Touch Typist), bassist Pete Emptage, and multi-instrumentalist Cat Kohn. Together with producer Nick Huggins, Hello Satellites have created a subtle and exciting sound that features ecstatic flashes of pop reverie, full of handclaps, layered vocals and string sections. Hello Satellites will launch their gorgeous new single Heartbeat Fast As A Rabbit at this gig on Friday.

It's strange, the things a man will hear in his own heartbeat when the mad, bad world of expectation and compromise is safely locked outside. Listen. The Beautiful Girls have been a long time underground. OK, there was one tour of Brazil, the odd show here and there. But since Mat McHugh wound up touring his solo album, Seperatista!, in March 2009, he's been a virtual recluse, digging deep for new sound and meaning downstairs in his home studio THE BEAUTIFUL on Sydney's northern beaches. GIRLS COOLANGA TTA What he found surprised and HOTEL ON FRIDAY thrilled him. 'The weird thing is I don't even like much reggae,' says the singer-songwriter and visionary of a radically evolving roots-rock ensemble that began infiltrating the world stage some seven years and four albums ago. 'But the reggae I do like, I love, love, love.' The exotic passion that stirs the souls of Mat and his rhythm compadres, Paulie B and Bruce Braybrooke, begins to drip like some rare and potent elixir from the opening beats of their new album, Spooks. Mat estimates that he discarded around 30 songs before they began to fall in the right direction. First to stick was the album's lead single, the edgy electric party starter, Don't Wait. Next was the brassy dub number, Rockers!, inspired by his love of the 1978 Jamaican film of that name. Then the work began. See the result at the Coolangatta Hotel on Friday.

burns it up on slide guitar. He uses a loop system to layer his music, which combined with wicked harmonica and drumming with his feet provides a full, infectious sound to grab the crowd’s attention. His focus is on original material with left-of-centre covers dispersed throughout each set. If you’re into raw blues with driving riffs, wailing guitars and snarling vocals then Mark Easton is the bluesman for you. This is dirty white trash blues by a one man band on steroids at the Australia Tavern, Murwillumbah Friday.

Punching above the line Punchline from Brisbane provide electrifying entertainment for all audiences and are one of the most versatile and exciting cover bands in Queensland. For Punchline professionalism is paramount and they have performed various gigs around Australia and oversees. Punchline’s lead singer, Jeunesse, has a very versatile voice that is nothing less than spine tingling. Matty provides vocal support and is exhilarating on lead guitar. Aaron on bass along with Michael on drums accomplish a deep groove and provide the band with a very strong rhythm section. They are an energetic band who’ll leave the crowd begging for more with a song-list consisting of Top 40, rock, classics, funk and the occasional hint of jazz and blues. They have become a firm favourite at Currumbin RSL. See them in the Main Bar on Saturday.

A touch of the Brothers’ Blues Blues Brothers fans across Australia are rejoicing! The incomparable Official Blues Brothers Revue from America returns by popular demand for another national tour downunder and Wayne Catania and Kieron Lafferty, aka Jake and Elwood, are on a mission to deliver a dynamic and authentic Blues Brothers show. Sanctioned by Dan Ackroyd and The John Belushi Estate, this live concert combines the comedy and hits from the original 1980 hit film Blues Brothers and pays homage to Chicago's rich history of blues, gospel and soul music. You can catch them at Twin Towns Saturday. Joining the Blues Brothers Revival on tour is gifted vocalist

which was a battle of endurance and stylish surfing on surfboards more than 30 years old. Kimmins ran around Burleigh Point two times during the final and bore scratches and cuts from his frantic efforts to jump off the Burleigh Heads rocks. Half way through the 30 minute final, Kimmins claimed the wave of the heat, pulling off some massive turns, and scoring a long tube on the end section to take the lead from 1999 ASP World Champion Mark Occhilupo, and was not headed for the rest of the final. Runner-up Noah Lane closed in on Kimmin’s lead, his last wave a dynamic display of backhand single fin surfing,

putting him within reach of Kimmins. With a frantic run around Burleigh Point with only four minutes remaining, Lane was in position to catch an event-winning wave with only one minute remaining. The wave for Lane came only five seconds too late, and Lane was denied the title and had to be content with second place. Occhilupo placed 3rd, Burleigh local Tim Hyland placed 4th, MNM Boardriders stalwart Anthony Pols 5th, and perennial finalist Ryan Grey 6th. The final wrapped up the 14th year for this iconic event and festival – classic surfing on classic antique surfboards.

Banks need to look at housing affordability, says First National First National Real Estate says that interest rate hikes late last year demonstrate the increasing need for governments and the Big Four banks to work together to address the key issues of supply and demand and housing affordability. ‘There seems to be so much debate going on about the market, but no real communication between the banks and the government, and between them they are the ones with the power to fix the property market problems,’ Ray Ellis, Chief Executive of First National said. ‘There is lots of finger pointing going on, but there is not any real discussion about what we can do to fix it. ‘At the end of the day it is the home buyers and owners who suffer, while the banks keep making record profits and governments keep their heads in the sand,’ Mr Ellis said. ‘What they should be doing is looking to influence affordability and supply by reducing or abolishing stamp duties, abolishing exit fees, introducing more competition into the banking sector and looking at policies that will stimulate the construction industry. ‘Instead, we keep putting up with inaction from the government and greed from the banks.’ Mr Ellis said he was particularly unimpressed by banks who deemed it appropriate to increase their standard variable rates by as much as 14 basis points above the RBA increase. ‘What is most disconcerting about this is that it seems each of the banks is taking their turn at being the bad guy and being the first to lift their rate higher than the RBA increase. ‘As one consumer interest group spokesperson said, if all the banks moved at the same time by the same amount, and

this was a horse race, you would have a steward’s inquiry.’ But not even the prospect of a Senate enquiry into banking competition, or Parliamentary debate on legislation forcing banks to lift rates by no more than the RBA, is enough, according to Mr Ellis. ‘Interest rates on their own are not the problem. We need to have a look at all the factors affecting the property market: planning approvals, interest rates, fees and charges, everything all at once rather than this piecemeal approach. ‘New banking policies are called for but so is a national approach to planning, because ultimately it is the “mum and dad” property owners who will suffer the most. ‘We need political leaders who have the fortitude and imagination to reform property taxes and the banking sector if there is any hope of addressing affordability issues.’

Backburner More secret cables passing between Tweed Shire Council and other organisations, including the state government, have been intercepted by internet activists and leaked to The Echo. Our leaker, in grave peril of trumped-up charges by the governments of Australia, the USA and Sweden, says of the cables: ‘Every sentence is interlarded with opaque and unnecessary jargon, every opinion is guarded by multiple qualifications and every conclusion is covered with a thick gel of verbiage apparently designed to hinder intelligibility and nullify responsibility.’ Nothing new there then.

Maybe it’s something to do with scientists in the UK believing they can correlate people’s brain shapes with their political views. This is not a joke, promise. Their scans showed that conservative people have more tissue in the primitive backbrain area which is associated with emotional response, whereas left-leaning folk have less of that sort of tissue and more in the frontbrain neocortex where rational thought processes take place. Makes sense to Backburner. Q Q Q Q

As we recently reported, a resident was taken aback when council supremo Mike Rayner told him a complaint about a derogatory comment by a councillor wouldn’t be investigated unless the complainant signed a so-called ‘confidentiality agreement’ promising not to go public with any details. The resident said he had never heard of a similar requirement by any other council and wondered why it was so. The new secrecy provisions are on top of the council’s amended media policy stopping councillors from making anything public unless it’s already been made public. Q Q Q Q

This striking photograph of the Natyashatki Dance Group was taken by Murwillumbah resident Robert Franzos. The group was performing as part of last month’s Hare Krishna Kuli Mela Festival or Kuli Fest at the Murwillumbah Civic Centre. Hundreds attended the festival, which is produced by children attending Hare Krishna schools.

us Corporate Services chief Troy Green slipped in the confidentiality requirement as an addendum report last March after complaint magnets, Joan van Lieshout and Katie Milne, named certain councillors who were leading the charge, claiming their accusers were trying to discredit them. Mr Green said people on the receiving end of complaints needed to sign a statement promising not to disclose any details as a protection for whistleblowers, but made no specific mention of complainants being required to do the same. Alleged problems with Tweed’s complaint handling process were highlighted by Liberal Party MLC Marie Ficarra who cited complaints against the two councillors as evidence of misuse of the complaints process. She used Parliament to accuse Kingscliff councillor Dot Holdom of being one of the leading players. Q Q Q Q Trying to get the kids out of the house, away from the TV? Tweed River Regional Art Gal-

Grail Quest

Introduction to Grail Quest (an 8-week course) which is the opening term of the two year parttime foundation course.

...a journey into the Spiritual Science of Rudolf Steiner...

GRAIL QUEST offers a modern form of adult education based on the work of Rudolf Steiner. Through a deepened understanding of the inner workings of the world and ourselves, inner development and soul transformation are brought about. This in turn leads to an enhanced capacity to transform the outer world. The course consists of lectures, discussions and workshops which are expanded through artistic experiences in music, painting, sculpture, story telling, speech, drama, craft and the new art of eurythmy. No previous artistic experience is necessary. The emphasis of the course is away from competition and is focused on individual growth.
