The Sunrise tavern being proposed by global mining magnate Brian Flannery breaches a draft Byron Council policy opposing new pubs within one hundred metres of residential areas. Council’s policy is a response to growing resident concerns in Byron about the ‘escalating noise, violence, associated criminal activity and disturbance of community amenity associated with licensed premise activities’. The proposed pub is directly across the road from the Sunrise residential area, with many households within 100 metres. The site is a small pocket of the giant parcel of land Mr Flannery bought from Becton just over a year ago. Publicity material distributed to residents describes the plan for a new tavern/bistro as ‘similar’ to a proposal for the site previously approved by Council. However, what Council previously approved was a gallery-restaurant, without any licence attached, as opposed to a licensed tavern, drivethrough bottle shop and sports bar. Mayor Jan Barham says she is unable to express a view on the proposal until submissions close and Council

staff complete their report, though she told The Echo the previously approved plan was ‘very different’ from the current one. ‘When Becton put forward the idea of a restaurant-gallery it was about giving something back for the locals, to enhance the cultural nature of the area, rather than providing another drinking hole,’ she said. Asked whether the publicity material was misleading, the town planner working on the proposed tavern stood by the claim it was ‘similar’ to the previous restaurant idea, saying the buildings were identical. Steve Connelly also confirmed there were plans to add a TAB to the tavern, despite his development application stating there would be no gambling services. ‘This is a great opportunity to have a social hub in west Byron’, he told The Echo, where ‘punters clubs or fishing clubs’ could gather. The slick PR material for the ‘Sun Bistro’ is unsigned, but the hotel’s plans name Bayshore Property Holdings Pty Ltd, one of a cluster of companies ultimately owned by Peggy and Brian Flannery, whose estimated wealth is around $600 million. continued on page 2

Mallams closes, staff relocates to Woolies Hans Lovejoy

Mallams have closed their supermarket in Mullumbimby. The Burringbar Street store closed for the last time on Friday, along with the liquor store on Sunday. In a notice on the door, Mallams thanked residents for their patronage and said staff would be back again when Woolworths opens. Manager John Waterhouse told The Echo that all staff have been given jobs and are in training for the planned opening in May or June. The discount shop, owned by Mr Waterhouse, won’t close but will take over the former Mallams site in April. Woolworth’s Simon Berger echoed

Mr Waterhouse’s claim that Mallams staff were in training. ‘Staff who wanted to move to Woolies can do so. They are in training and been given induction to the company. ‘They are also working in our other stores in Byron, Ballina, Lismore and Tweed until the Mullumbimby store opens.’ Also this week the Brunswick Cellars in Brunswick Heads has been rebranded BWS. BWS (Beer Wine Spirits) is a Woolworths company, and was part of the acquistion of Mallams. Woolworths subsidiary companies now hold licences for liquor shops in both Brunswick Heads and Mullumbimby.

Teenagers arrested over violent Byron altercation Victoria Cosford

Three men were attacked early on Thursday morning in a Byron Bay unit by a group of teenagers. One of them, a 20-year-old, was allegedly confronted by the youths after answering a knock at the front door of the Shirley Street flat. He was then punched, the others then entering the premises and assaulting the remaining occupants. In a statement to the media, Detective Inspector Tweed/ Byron LAC Crime Manager Shane Diehm said that as a result of quick thinking by police the teenagers from Ballina and Alstonville were arrested. The injured 20-year-old

Hemp advocate Paul Benhaim says the use of hemp plastic has been successful in holding back the tides in places like Holland, but no-one in this country is taking notice. ‘Artificial reefs can be constructed with a prescribed degradable rate,’ Mr Benhaim told The Echo, ‘and by the time the area has been restored, the material has dissolved and become part of the environment.’ Mr Benhaim says he has tried, so far unsuccessfully, to gain government interest with what could be a solution for coastal erosion problems. ‘The solution is proven in Europe, and I would have thought the local, state or national representatives would have at least reviewed or asked for further information.’ When The Echo spoke to Council’s General Manager Graeme Faulkner, he said

Council accepts all unsolicited information and has two weeks in which to respond. He recommended if a person would like to speak to a council employee that they should make an appointment. ‘Staff are often out on inspections and attending customer and community meetings,’ said Mr Faulkner, who also noted that Council was currently in the process of

recruiting for the position of Coastal Officer. Hemp Plastic is an affordable bio-based natural fibre composite that can replace oilbased raw materials, according to Mr Benhaim. He says it competes with engineering compounds in properties such as stiffness and high heat tolerance (HDT). For further information on hemp plastic visit www.hempplastic.com.

The Becton site came with a hotel licence, which the new owner plans to transfer from the main resort area to the pocket of land immediately adjacent to Sunrise. Asked why the hotel site was switched to the residential area, Mr Connelly said resorts ‘can run satisfactorily with just a restaurant.’ Council’s policy opposing pubs within 100 metres of residences is currently being finalised and will not be legally binding, and Councillor Ross Tucker argues it’s not ‘practical or valid’. Jan Barham said concerns about noise and disruption were driving strong community support for keeping hotels away from residential areas, and inside Byron’s CBD. Public submissions on the plans close March 9.

Asked if he thought that alcohol was a factor in this latest incident, he said that he believed it was involved. Charges were laid against a Ballina 18-year-old and an 18-year-old Alstonville man for assault occasioning actual bodily harm. Both were placed on conditional bail to appear at Byron Bay Local Court on March 24, while two other men were released without charge pending further investigations.

Giving young children a helping start

Over the past several months, the Byron Bay Freemasons have been raising funds for The Byron Shire Early Childhood Learning Centre. The Centre provides learning services for intellectually handicapped children from birth to five years. Pictured are Nick Towers from Byron Bay Rugby Club, Stephen Swinton and Warren Simmons from the Byron Freemasons who presented a cheque for $4,000 to Zoe Williams, director of the Byron Shire Early Childhood Learning Centre this week. Research has shown that assistance in these years saves large amounts of money and effort in later years. The money will be used to purchase toys and equipment.

Council looks at holiday letting, koalas, camping and LEP Byron Shire Councillor Ross Tucker was unsuccessful in an attempt last Thursday to remove prohibition of holiday letting from existing development consents on dwellings approved in 2010, with related costs to be paid by Council. Instead, a motion from Mayor Jan Barham got up 6-3. Council will receive a report to its April meeting referring to ‘Land & Environment Court and Court of Appeal judgments that clarify definitions of dwelling, domicile, tourist facilities, resident, residential, short term residential and holiday accommodation,’ and including ‘an update on outstanding resolutions in relation to holiday let compliance and legal action’.

Koala plan tabled In other news from last Thursday’s meeting, Council resolved on a motion from Cr Barham to support the preparation of a Byron Shire Koala Plan of Management (KPoM) and write to the NSW Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water (DECCW) ‘to seek support for either financial or in kind assistance to

prepare the plan as was done in Coffs Harbour’. Council will also receive a report/scoping study including costing estimates for delivery of the KPoM and clarify current information held by Council regarding location of populations and habitat. Cr Tucker voted against the motion. A foreshadowed motion from Cr Patrick Morrisey will see a call for expressions of interest from dog trappers and a report on ‘the assessment of the effectiveness and financial feasibility of wild dog trapping in order to help preserve koala population’. Cr Tucker voted against the motion. A further successful motion from Cr Morrisey will see Council writing to the NSW Land and Property Management Authority (LPMA) seeking comment and/or support for changing the plan of a management for the Butler Street Reserve in Byron Bay to allow primitive camping at the western section. If LPMA is supportive, Council will get a feasibility report on the proposal.

Help clean up Cape Byron It’s time to don the gloves for Clean Up Australia Day, to be held on Sunday March 6. The Cape Byron Trust will continue its involvement with the ‘Clean Up’ campaign, and will be organising a clean up for the Cape Byron Headland Reserve. ‘It’s not too late to get involved,’ said Cape Byron Trust Chairperson Yvonne Stewart. ‘An estimated seven billion cigarette butts end up in Austral-

ian waterways, streets and parklands each year. So if you want to join in and volunteer a few hours to cleaning up Cape Byron, just turn up on the day with gloves, a hat, sturdy shoes, sunglasses and sunscreen and register.’ Interested volunteers can meet the site coordinator at Captain Cook Carpark on Lighthouse Road on Sunday March 6 at 8.45am to register.

Local News No Interest Loans launched by Byron Community Centre Victoria Cosford

Byron Community Centre will be a provider for No Interest Loans (NILS), with the service’s launch coinciding with its Volunteer Expo breakfast on Thursday February 24. This follows on from the recent announcement of the $1.78 million donation by the NSW government to fund 58 NILS services across the state. Recently appointed NILS co-ordinator at the Community Centre Clare Hocking told The Echo that MP Ian Cohen had been confirmed to launch the service. She said that the Centre previously ran the service through the Lismore Neighbourhood Centre, which would process the applications. ‘But now we’ve set it up so we can do all the processing here,’ she said. ‘We’ve already got heaps of applicants and a waiting list,’ she said. Within the Scheme, loans of up to $1200 are offered, to be paid back within twelve months. General Manager of the Community Centre Paul

Spooner told The Echo that it was a very dignified program which enabled people to get back on their feet by themselves. ‘What I love is that it’s not charity and it’s not welfare,’ he said. ‘It’s not about having to jump through all those hoops. And it’s manageable – the default rate with NILS is under three per cent, it’s very low.’

The new multi-purpose hall and library extension at St Finbarr’s in Byron Bay was officially opened and blessed recently. Invited along were dignitaries such as Lismore Bishop Jarrett, Parish Priest of Holy Spirit and St John’s Parishes Father Anthony Lemon, and Dr Anne Wenham, Director of Catholic Schools Lismore Catholic Education. Filling the new hall to capacity were students and parents. Principal John Wilson launched the event, thanking all those who had been involved and gratefully acknowledging the Australian Government’s provision of $2,125,000 through the Building the Education Revolution funding program. He said that the funding

He said that the NSW government’s contribution funded administrative costs and NAB provided the capital funding, the actual loan money. ‘It’s a really nice partnership and we’re the local providers for it,’ he said. In addition to the loan service, the Centre is able to help people with financial and le-

gal assistance. Interviews for applicants will take place on Wednesdays and Thursdays. ‘People can get all the information about it from our website,’ Paul said. ‘What NILS does is enable people to buy something new rather than, say, a dodgy secondhand fridge,’ Clare said. ‘It’s important for your self-esteem!’

In related news, the Sing Your Flooded Heart Out fundraiser at Billinudgel Hotel on Sunday raised $5676 for flood relief, according to Julie Harrison. ‘Thanks to the magnificent communties of Billinudgel, Ocean Shores, Brunswick Heads and South Golden Beach,’ she said. ‘The businesses in the area donated a total of approximately $2,600 in prizes.’

Jane Frances from Industry & Investment NSW (I&I NSW) said a member of the public reported the finding to I&I NSW. ‘An angler caught the fish, took a photo and emailed it to

the aquatic pest email address,’ Ms Frances said. ‘It is a timely reminder about the detrimental impacts dumped fish have.’ Anyone who sees a fish not at home in its rightful environment can contact the I&I on (02) 4916 3877 or email aquatic.pests@ industry.nsw.gov.au.

Council meeting draws big crowds Indigenous Child and Family Centre sparks community debate in Ballina of the art and the focus of the debate needs to be brought back to the needs of the children, not what adults want or don’t want. An alternative option for the centre is Treelands Reserve, and is supported by the Save Porter Park Action Group and Councillor Keith Johnson. ‘Residents of West Ballina do not want to lose open green space,’ he stated at the meeting. The action group is made up of concerned residents of the area who believe there is limited open public space and do not want it taken away when there appears to be an alternative.

Louise Owen

Around 300 people crammed into the Ballina Council general meeting this week over a proposed $3 million Aboriginal Child and Family Centre in West Ballina. Advocates are hoping part of the council-owned sports field – Porter Park – will be developed as a needed social service for the Aboriginal community. The ‘Save Porter Park Action Group’, however, say there are other options for the centre. They say the loss of the park will affect community access to the sports field and add to the problem of limited open space in the area.

ther information is available. Shale and chert for fill are currently extracted, and councillors want another report done on the impacts to the environment. Ardill Payne and Partners representing the quarries on Old Bagotville Road, Bagotville, are requesting permission to increase their production to 150,000 tonnes per annum. There are two quarries, and currently Eaton extracts 50,000, while Monti extracts 56,000 tons p/a. Both quarries have an Environment Protection Licence with the Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water (DECCW) for the crushing, grinding or separating of extractive materials with a capacity of between 30,000 and 50,000 tonnes per annum.

the issue has created within the community, but nevertheless voted to reaffirm Porter Park as its preferred location. The council will, however, write to the state government expressing concern it did not provide land for the project and will seek compensation for the loss of the open space. Council will now push forward with the proposal to change the zoning from sports field to general community use, and this amendment must be placed on public exhibition for comment. A public hearing will also be held before the council makes a final decision.

Ballina Shire has unveiled new town and village signage. The signs will be installed upon entry to Ballina Shire’s towns and villages during this month. After a number of workshops in early 2010 with key stakeholders, the concept has been called ‘Plateau to the Sea.’ The visual concept, pictured above, was developed to reflects the diverse, abundant and vibrant coastal and rural area with a relaxed lifestyle and fabulous weather. While the concept and colours were very well accepted by the key stakeholders, there has been some vigorous debate within the community about

Other areas will eventually follow including the historic village of Newrybar (the northern entrance to Ballina Shire), Tintenbar, Teven and Fernleigh. The Aboriginal workshop resulted in a Bunjalung view with bora rings, fish traps, family gathering place, first blood ceremonies, Seven Mile Beach tournaments, a healing lake and the use of evocative colours. All workshops engaged head and heart thinking to create the sense of belonging to the shire. The idea behind the signage program was in response to the two bypasses currently under construction to give consistency, legibility and road safety

Ballina lighthouse to be painted The Richmond River Ballina lighthouse is one of four lighthouses that will be painted in the Northern Rivers region over the coming months.

Local Profile

Cheze finds her wings and flies for Brazil

She’s wild haired and usually scantily clad, and can be found leading a frenetic African dance at a fundraiser, or African Rhythm night. Malaika Cheze Darville is very much a ‘Byron’ girl. For those who’ve been attracted to the utopian spirit of a town that was once the centre of a vibrant counter-culture, Cheze was one of a tribe of artists committed to engineering social change both in their community and abroad. Canadian born, this daughter of a Jamaican mother moved here almost two decades ago, and now after a rich history of community engagement, running dance classes, workshops, initiating projects around the ethical production of food, raising money for local projects and projects overseas, Cheze has decided it’s time to leave Byron. ‘I have always tried to point Byron in a different direction from where it went… so I feel that my work is done here, it’s time to stretch my wings.’ In true Byron fashion, Cheze and her partner Chinta formed Rhythm Konnections, which became a flourishing African percussion workshop, with drum and dance classes in nearly every hall in town.

It seems a sad indictment on a town famed for its alternative culture that drumming is too noisy. She laughs, ‘I have been kicked out of just about every venue in town because it’s too loud, but we’re always the first people they ring for a fundraiser!’

Campaigner for locally grown foods The thing she’s most proud of, she says, is the Ethical Feast in 2004. Well ahead of her time, Cheze was part of a group who spearheaded an awareness raising campaign for locally produced foods. She recognised the global impacts of mass production and the negative environmental impacts of ‘food miles’ and campaigned for the first community farmer’s markets. As well as being an advocate of permaculture, Cheze also was heavily involved in many of the Shire’s most infamous protests. ‘I started the GE rally, was one of the group that initiated The Nude Ain’t Rude Rally, and I was thinking back the other day, I even danced naked in Mullumbimby! It was at the Women’s Festival.’ She’s also initiated the planting of hundreds of trees with the program that invited lo-

cal schools to plant fruit trees. Using the monies raised from the Ethical Feast, Malaika ensured that at least 17 schools in the area were the recipients of fruit trees. Both Cheze’s sons grew up here, and have also flown the nest. Her son Eka is now 21 and can be spotted on TV’s Blue Water High. Her other son Hopi is now snowboarding in Japan. It was her attraction to the power of ‘village’ that inspired Cheze’s time here. ‘I was definitely attracted to the power of community that we have here. The Byron Shire is still an amazing community, and diverse, but it’s become so expensive to live here that I don’t have time to do my community work anymore. I don’t own my own home; basically I missed the boat on that.’ This week Cheze leaves for Brazil where she’s about to participate in Carnivale. She intends to spend some time in America and then head back to her roots in the Caribbean. ‘I’m going to miss the farmer’s market, going to the beach. ‘I swim naked every morning at Tallow. Where else can you sit there naked before 8am meditating? I have planted out this property. I’ll miss all my friends; I have so many amazing friends and community, I will miss that it’s a small town

and it doesn’t take me forever to get anywhere. ‘I was on that panel we had on the vision for Byron – I was on that panel talking about culture and music. I am proud we don’t have McDonald’s but we have Baskin & Robbins, two Subways, Rockmans, Sportsgirl, Supre…’ When it comes to preserving local culture, people like Cheze are like an indicator species. There just seems to be less and less of them able to live in Byron Bay anymore. ‘When I first moved into this house we never had fences; since then it’s been subdivided and two houses have been built. These days I have a neighbour who calls the fire brigade or the police every time I have a backyard fire to cook a few potatoes.’ That’s not very Byron Bay! ‘I give up,’ sighs Cheze, ‘Real estate is killing Byron Bay. ‘This is one of the oldest houses in Byron. Remember Eric the bottle man? Well, this is his old house. I will miss all those stories, we are losing our history.’ Malaika Cheze Darville, African dancer and teacher, shaman priestess and active community member, leaves Byron Shire. The new arrivals can now rest in peace. The drums of Byron Bay have stopped.

Market bucket-rattling pays off Victoria Cosford

Where does that money go? Visitors to the Sunday Byron community markets might well wonder what becomes of the Charity of the Day collections taking place at the main gates each week. Market co-ordinator Tess Cullen told The Echo that records show that via these collections, the markets help to channel around $40,000 into the local community. The Byron Hospital Auxiliary is one great example, having recently raised over $3000 through its ‘bucket-rattling’, as Tess calls it. She said they were lucky enough to get both gates on the day due to a second charity pulling out at the last minute. The money raised will fund a much-needed electric bed for emergency and mental illness needs in their safe-room. Tess told The Echo that there was a really high demand by charities to get on to the gates. ‘There’s quite a waiting list, about a two-year turn-around,’ she said. ‘Most people jump at the chance when a vacancy occurs – because they really work!’ Tess said the average is $1000 a gate per market, and it’s also a great opportunity for the charities to hand out information.

Independents deliver more on health, transport, says Independent Hans Lovejoy

Nationals Don Page wants a study on rail services The Shadow Minister for North Coast, Don Page, has announced the Liberals and Nationals will conduct a study on rail services for northeastern New South Wales. ‘It is now seven years since the Labor Government axed train services on the Casino to Murwillumbah line, and we need to do a comprehensive study so that we can move forward,’ Mr Page said in a statement to the media. He says the study would

involve costing on the restoration of the Casino to Murwillumbah line, looking at light rail options, and the potential to extend rail services in northern NSW to connect with Coolangatta Airport and Queensland services. ‘If we hope to attract Federal funding for the interstate connection, we will need this kind of comprehensive study to satisfy the Federal Government’s funding requirements for a detailed proposal.’

Independent and Suffolk Park resident Karin Kolbe says she can deliver more to the electorate than The Nationals can. ‘Given that Don Page hasn’t been part of the government, the real test is about to start,’ she told The Echo. ‘Take hospital funding as an example – while Byron has just been allocated $1 million and is still waiting for a new hospital to be built, the hospitals in Port Macquarie, Dubbo and Tamworth – all seats currently held by Independents – have been granted a total of $225 million.’ She also questions the Nationals’ commitment to funding the Casino-Murwillumbah rail line and a link to Queensland. ‘It’s not good enough. The community want trains on our tracks and they expect the next government to deliver.’ Ms Kolbe rejects Mr Page’s proposed study on rail services. ‘We already have the feasibility study that sets out a plan on how to proceed. ‘Coalition funding for public transport and rail has been detailed on their website, but not a single project outside Sydney has attracted funding. Why? ‘It seems that the Nationals have been dominated by the

We believe that our approach is the most cost-efficient method of delivering fruit and vegetables to the hospitality industry, while providing a superior level of service. This is largely because of the dedication that owner-drivers can give to their customers while having the support of a large infrastructure like Yarra Valley Farms to take orders, buy, pack, provide produce information and more. Our partnership with our franchisees gives Yarra Valley Farms the time and ability to offer their customers all the benefits of a large company such as buying power, product information, internet ordering, delivery support and a larger product range, while still giving them the benefits of a smaller business in the form of an owner-operator driver. At Yarra Valley Farms we believe that franchising is the most cost-effective, customer-focused manner of providing fruit and vegetables to our customers. This is largely because of the benefits our customers can get from having a close relationship with their owner-operated fruit and veg supplier. We believe that our strategy will revolutionise the way people buy their fruit and veg and so we are always looking for like-minded people who believe that good service and fair pricing cannot only help others, but can be financially viable for themselves. We want like-minded people to share in our success as a prominent supplier of fresh produce to some of the best-known bars, cafes, restaurants, hotels, take-away food outlets, schools, and care facilities. Applications to become a Yarra Valley Farms franchisee are welcome from people who are customer-focused and willing to service existing customers as well as further grow their business in their designated area.

Yarra Valley Farms has launched its brand in Northern NSW and Queensland and will base its central warehouse facility in Byron Shire at Billinudgel, bringing employment and business opportunities to the Shire. Yarra Valley Farms is Australia’s fastest-growing and most progressive fruit and vegetable operation, bringing its very successful business model to our region. Company Director Geoff Cook has already introduced his customer base from Love Produce, who have now experienced that Yarra Valley Farms do things differently and found that the unique concepts have added value to their business. Geoff and his family have had a wholesale business growing in the area since 1989 and have also owned three fruit and veg retail outlets. Geoff is excited that his business is now part of a national structure and will enjoy all of the benefits of a large company such as advanced technology and buying power – but with a business model that has a focus on personal service with a local owner-operator that delivers the goods with a personal touch Yarra Valley Farms was established in 2001. From the outset, the core focus of the company was to provide quality fresh produce to the hospitality industry with a dynamic combination of great service and fantastic prices. Management strives to service their customers on a personal basis, as if the company were set up exclusively to service that one customer. This is when the concept of franchising originated. This concept would in effect give owner-operator franchisees a localised run to service, and the personal touch could be kept with each and every customer. Yarra Valley Farms and each of our franchisees are basically in a partnership, together doing the job that most competitors try to do on their own. Because of the very nature of the industry and the required early-morning market starts, our competitors find it hard to do all the things needed to be successful in this industry: buy produce, pack, deliver, support customers and grow their business.

ardson, she replied, ‘I'm an independent with a track record for representing this community. ‘I do this directly without the filter of party politics. My policies reflect the concerns and issues relevant to this electorate, without reference to Sydney or Canberra.’

MARCH MADNESS Our customer offer is unique: by franchising localised runs within the fruit and vegetable industry, we offer a superior level of service while giving our customers value for money on one of the largest ranges of fruit and vegetables in the industry. At full force this vision will revolutionise the entire industry, and completely change the way the general public, commercial and domestic, buy their produce. We consider our relationships with our franchisees of the highest importance. This is because the success of Yarra Valley Farms is totally dependent on the success of each and every individual franchisee; therefore, franchisee support in all aspects of our business is our only key focus. We are a progressive organisation who, with the assistance of technology, modern management techniques, and advanced operational processes is able to support franchisees at a very high level.

YARRA VALLEY FARMS FRANCHISES Yarra Valley Farms is proud to offer distribution territories throughout Victoria, NSW and Queensland to service the hospitality industry with fresh fruit and vegetables and related products.

But unlike Howard, Gillard is vulnerable on the grounds of inconsistency. Howard always believed in a GST; Gillard was in the forefront of those who persuaded Rudd to end his crusade for an Emissions Trading Scheme because they were scared of Abbott’s Great Big New Tax line. She is now a born-again evangelist for the cause. A bit suss, perhaps; but then Abbott spent a long time

Gillard assures us that every cent raised by her tax (which will be paid by business, not directly by consumers) will be returned to households or businesses, or will be used to

Until Gillard can produce actual numbers to reassure the potential victims, Abbott will have the field pretty much to himself. by Mungo MacCallum insisting that the ETS had to be passed for political reasons, and now vows to spend every second of every minute fighting it (there is an upside to this commitment: it will leave him no time for biking in lycra and surfing in budgie smugglers). And it should not be forgotten that for nearly three years an ETS was bipartisan policy, first between Howard and Rudd, then between Brendan Nelson and Rudd and finally between Malcolm Turnbull and Rudd. Abbott is now repudiating former leaders from the right, the centre and the left of his party, as well as his own previous stance. The public has a right to be confused. But in a way that is just where Abbott wants them: it is in a state of confusion that scare campaigns flourish and Abbott is off to a flying start. Figures about the crushing burden a carbon tax will inflict on families are being flung about in the tabloids and because the details of the compensation package are still being negotiated, there

their own agenda, and remain unaccountable and seemingly untouchable. There appears to be no consequences for their poor performance,’ Ms Grant said. ‘The code of conduct creates significant barriers to effective communication and often shields those responsible from critical scrutiny.’ The issue is leadership. Managing Byron Shire Council is a hugely difficult gig no doubt, but there are the inherent and inherited difficulties and there are the ones created by refusing to face up to the situation, or learn from history. – David Lovejoy, publisher

promote clean energy, but until she can produce actual numbers to reassure the potential victims, Abbott will have the field pretty much to himself. The vague promise of unspecified new jobs just won’t cut it. And he will continue to ask the question: for all the pain, where is the gain? Even if Australia reduces its emissions to close to zero, it won’t make any difference unless the big boys do the same, and there is little sign of it so far. In fact, this is not quite true: in Europe progress is significant, and there is a good deal of movement in both China and India. Even the United States is setting firm targets. Gillard is right in following Labor’s climate change guru, Ross Garnaut: even if Australia does not lead the pack, we cannot afford to fall too far behind. Not only are we one of the worst polluters per head of population, but the longer we delay taking action, the more it is going to cost and the more unpleasant the process will become.

This logic will not deter those worried only about short-term advantage in the parliament, in industry or in the media, but it should make some sense to the majority of the public who still, according to the polls, favour taking some action – although they are not quite clear what. Gillard can count on at least a residue of goodwill among the true believers, even if she will still have to contend with the invincible ignorance of the sceptics. Ah yes, the sceptics. Given the state of the science, it is about time we stopped dignifying them with that name, which suggests some sort of commitment to rationality. Even the alternative – deniers – implies they have given the question some serious thought. Let us call them what they are: mendacious, stupid or at best delusional. Some may sincerely believe the science is still not settled, or that it is all a vast conspiracy; many others are feeding the doubters out of sheer selfinterest in search of commercial or political advantage. But their opinions are important only to each other. Their views should no longer be part of any rational discussion and they must not be considered at all by Gillard and her fellow decision makers. The misguided will, of course, be among those compensated; it is to be hoped that they spend at least some of the windfall on catching up with the science or, if that is too much effort, securing long-term accommodation in homes for the terminally bewildered along with their fellow flat-earthers. Clowns are all very well in their place, but in the words of the immortal Stan Cross cartoon, it’s time to stop laughing – this is serious.

What’s Woolworths playing at? On Monday while getting my favourite bottle of wine at Brunswick Cellars, I noticed that the stocks on everything seemed quite low. I enquired why and discovered that our beloved local bottlo had been sold and they were running down the stock. Tuesday we discovered some bright orange flourishes being added to the outside. By Wednesday the BWS sign had been erected and a shiver went down my spine. After some googling, I discovered that BWS was in fact owned by Woolworths – those sneaky bastards had taken over my local bottle shop without so much as a whisper. So now what are my options? I could go to Ocean Shores (but they have a big chain too) or I could stop drinking, hmmm. Are there any independent bottle shops left in the area?

Q

Q What’s Woolworths playing at? Their new Mullum big box store and roadworks are proceeding at slower than a snail’s pace and months away from opening. Mallams supermarket closed last Friday. Does either Mallams or Woolworths care how much more disruption Mullum will suffer? I can already hear their defensive pleas, ‘the wellbeing of the community has always been our prime concern’, ‘the green councillors, protesters, and weather are to blame’ for the disruption to the town. When Woolworths purchased Mallams’ approved development application (DA) for a new supermarket they thought that with their might Byron Shire Council (BSC) would cave in and give them an ‘interim’ connection to the town’s overloaded sewerage system. Every other developer was required to wait for the Wendy Bithell sewerage system’s upgrade and Brunswick Heads BSC held its ground.

Leading by example

basic shopping needs and a pub. There’s a strong community spirit and it’s welcoming, friendly and safe. There are some disadvantages, like no jobs, no mobile phone coverage, no SBS and and having to drive an hour or two to get just about anywhere. However, if you want to get Peggy Balfour off the housing cost treadmill, Mullumbimby it’s worth a look at Bonalbo. You’ll find some old friends Affordable housing here. Well, didn’t the headlines of Eve Sinton Bonalbo our two local papers say it all this week: ‘Housing affordability crisis deepens for locals’ Programmed pleasures (The Echo, February 22) and I would like to thank The Echo ‘Hot prices for Byron proper- for the best TV program of any ties’ (Byron Shire News, Feb- paper free or otherwise. It is ruary 24). Can anyone else see very bright and easy to find the program you are looking for. the elephant in the room? I assume Julia Gillard, Greens, et al, will lead by example regarding the ‘market based mechanism for carbon pricing’ (carbon tax and energy reduction) by being the first to ceremoniously turn off the air conditioning in Parliament House.

Re Ray Moynihan’s story on affordable housing: as a former reporter for this publication, I covered numerous meetings on affordable housing 12-15 years ago. What was achieved? As Ray’s story illustrates, absolutely fall of nothing. Don’t hold your breath waiting for results from the current effort. What becomes of those who give up and move out? You’d be surprised how many have discovered a village two hours’ drive directly west of Byron where housing is truly affordable. Buy for well under $200,000 or rent for well under $200 per week. The town has a school, hospital, doctor, emergency services, bowls, golf, public pool, broadband internet,

Malloy’s views

Regarding the article in last week’s Echo about Michael Malloy (Bangalow ‘mayor’). He said it was a good thing he didn’t get called up to go to Vietnam. Well, nobody was called up to go into the army, if you didn’t want to go overseas you didn’t have to, every person who went to Vietnam volunteered to go. Gary Lovell

Q

Woolworths’ next approach was to apply for an onsite sewerage system. After providing countless opportunities to attend to this application’s shortcomings, BSC rightly ruled that their application was way short of being adequate. Woolworths then challenged that ruling and engaged some very ‘creative experts’ to do the impossible and on Christmas Eve 2009 in the Land and Environment Court got approval for a bigger and better ‘sewer on a bog’. That court case cost BSC ratepayers in the order of half a million dollars. Woolworths never wanted to build that ludicrously complex ‘sewer on a bog’. The whole expensive exercise was about obtaining a Construction Certificate and getting started before the DA granted by Frank Sartor expired. To wait for the town’s sewer upgrade like every other developer risked having to apply for a new DA, as Woolworths, not Mallams, and

to a state government in tatters, which had long since spent the cash it conveniently got for its old railway land. Having made a substantial start Woolworths is now just biding its time until the completion of the town’s sewerage system’s upgrade. Never mind the traffic chaos, the loss of a supermarket and the enormous cost to ratepayers of their ‘sewer on a bog’ court challenge. The point is, Woolworths entered Mullum by a process of stealth and at considerable cost to this community. The community has never had any power to say no to a Woolworths in our town. Mallams has cashed in its chips and our town has entered a new era with a new corporate giant in our midst. As one Mullum born-andbred shop owner said to me, ‘This is the biggest change I will see in this town in my lifetime.’

that profound an effect, there’d be nobody left in Sydney. Perhaps he thinks by knocking the Bay he will raise up Bangalow. Whatever it is, it is completely unnecessary. I love Byron Bay and I love Bangalow and I celebrate the differences. I mean, for example, the sunset beach walk in Bangalow is rather disappointing. I volunteer in the Bay and was mustering toads in Bangalow a couple of weeks ago. I feel a sense of community in both towns. For a man who once strutted the national stage, Michael has an alarmingly parochial view of the world these days.

David Cameron and Angela Merkel were justified in concluding that multiculturalism had failed. Unless our government can induce the Muslim minority to integrate, we will be forced to a similar conclusion.

the common name of the genus Cannabis and its products. Nor are there ‘hundreds of varieties’ of hemp, there are just two species, namely indica and sativa, both psychoactive. Furthermore, no studies have proved hemp is toxic or addictive and it’s certainly not legal. Adam’s apparent ignorance of these basic facts suggests his views on the matter are misinformed. In the absence of credible references, the rest of his unsubstantiated assertions warrant scepticism.

How dear my Byron

Just returned from a road trip to north-west Victoria to visit my son. I went through to the New England and Sturt Highways to towns like Tamworth, Glen Innes, West Wyalong, Hay, Forbes, Gunnedah, and Mildura etc. Nary a pothole or a big truck in sight. I went

down one road that didn’t even have a white line on it! I found these out-of-the-way towns to be very friendly and accommodating. People bent over backwards to look after you. And I couldn’t get over how cheap everything was compared to Byron. Also got a really nice motel room for $65 with meals delivered to my door by the local café with a full brekkie for only $8.50 in West Wyalong! It’s funny because in a bread shop in Byron, they blame the failed Russian wheat crop, thus the higher demand for Australian wheat, for their price rise in their products. I found one

pitstop out beyond the proverbial ‘Black Stump’ that only charged me $3 for a corned beef and pickle sandwich and $1.20 for a packet of crisps. This same sandwich and crisps in Byron costs $4.50 and $2! Now correct me if I am wrong but doesn’t this Black Stump shop also use bread made out of Australian wheat? And they are much further from a capital city to receive goods by truck. Now the petrol per litre was $1.40. But when I came back to Byron the petrol price is the same! Now I am scratching my head and wondering why Byron doesn’t treat its locals or

The Child Care Rebate helps meet the cost of child care. Make sure you check your eligibility.

The Australian Government offers two types of financial assistance for child care: the Child Care Benefit and the Child Care Rebate. Even if you don’t receive the Child Care Benefit you may still be eligible for the Rebate.

It pays up to 50% of your out-of-pocket expenses per child per year up to an annual cap.

The Rebate helps to cover the costs of any approved child care, including out of school hours care.

If you use approved child care for work, study or training, you should check your eligibility.

paying travellers quite as well. Oh right, maybe it is because of higher rents, or maybe the more desirable surrounds. Think what you may, but I think it is time for businesses in Byron to get real and if they want to survive they had better stop using silly excuses about why they have to charge so much for everything, thereby forcing visitors to camp in the streets, and locals to drive to Ballina to shop!

Farewell bees

Thank you for last fortnight’s front page informative article ‘Spraying locals with chemicals’. Yet another disturbing side effect from all of the chemical spraying is their harmful effect on bees. Our small property is surrounded by macadamia farms that regularly spray with toxic pesticides in strong winds. In September last year our jacaranda tree was swarming with bees busily performing their daily rituals of pollination. Within three days of the toxic pesticides being sprayed by air blasters into the macadamia trees and beyond, I noticed that all the bees disappeared. To this day we have seen none return to our property. This tragic scene was highlighted for me on reading yesterday’s Sydney Morning Herald article, ‘Plight of the honey bee sends shivers around the globe’. It states, ‘Pesticides used in pear orchards wiped out bees in parts of Sichuan in the 1980s. Crops are now pollinated by hand using feather brushes, a laborious process, as one bee colony can pollinate up to 300 million flowers a day. Germany, France and Italy have banned some pesticides.’ The irony of all of this is that we use these pesticides (designed in Nazi Germany during the second world war as chemical warfare) to kill ‘pests’ to increase agricultural output, but in doing so, kill the bees that man and nature have been relying on freely for hundreds of centuries to pollinate. It is estimated that one third of the human food supply depends on insect pollination, most of which is accomplished by bees. Shouldn’t we all collectively be acting now, to protect the innocent bees (and others) that get caught in the cross fire of these harmful chemicals? I at least know that when I hear the loud noise of the air blasting jets, to close all the windows and grab my children and pets and run for shelter. Joanne Gibbs

Coroner’s finding brings no solace I have recently attended the inquest into my nephew Jai Morcom’s death, who died at Mullumbimby High School on 28/08/2009. It has been 18 months since he died and his inquest gave no solace or closure as to what happened on the fateful day that his short, but much-loved life was taken from us. I heard many witness accounts in those two weeks of the inquest, and the words that will echo in my memories forever were ‘I can’t recall’. That repeated phrase and the steadfast witness accounts of Jai being pushed against a wall with force, including by his own admission from the boy that did it! The same boy who also lauded himself as a hero for ‘protecting’ so many people that day – sorry, but I don’t buy it. This moment was for me when I started to feel angry that this young man did not feel any remorse or culpability for the fact that it could have been his throw against the wall (with force) that set off the

time bomb for Jai that day. His decision not to acknowledge this possibility was incomprehensible to fathom. I no longer believe in the justice system either because I witnessed with my own two eyes a complete lack of it during the inquest. It was blatantly obvious over the two weeks that the lawyers for the Education Department, the Police, and the two boys were all protecting their own interests! No-one, however, was looking out for Jai. Only his father Steve, whose determination and love for his son drove his desire to protect his son’s character in the courtroom, and I have no doubt that if he wasn’t there Jai’s character would have been ripped to shreds. The so-called medical ‘evidence’ got everyone off the hook! The only person that had any guts in that area was Doctor Withers, neurosurgeon from the Gold Coast who treated Jai. She saw the marks on Jai’s body and believed it was most likely trauma that caused his death, and firmly

believed when the autopsy was done that they should have been able to find an aneurysm if Jai had a pre-existing condition. Not surprisingly, they didn’t find one. Even after Dr Withers’ testimony she felt deeply concerned enough to send an email to the coroner further pressing her extreme concern at the inconsistencies of the autopsy and the statements of those who gave medical testimonies. As a community you should be outraged – I know I am! A boy died at your local high school. ‘There but for the grace of God go I.’ Remember those profound words because it could just as easily have been your child who died that day and your family that now has to live this nightmare. After hearing the findings from the coroner of an ‘Open Verdict’, I no longer believe in a justice system that really wants to get to the truth of anything. The only thing I am sure of is our family will never forget Jai and we will always talk about him and honour his memory

with love and respect until it’s our turn to leave this earth and meet up with him again. To my brother Steve, you are a true warrior and you defended your son’s honour with love and dignity. I am so proud to be your sister. Special thanks and love also to Rangi and Ra, our support crew over the two weeks of the inquest – we couldn’t have got through it without you both. Finally, I hope with all my heart that Jai’s life and memory will not be forgotten in your community. His death should be a constant reminder to everyone about the value of human life, and how each of us, young and old, is responsible for protecting it. Violence in any shape or form should not be tolerated in our schools and in our communities, and we all need to have the courage to stand upand say ‘enough’s enough’. I ask all of you not to let Jai’s death be in vain.

There is nothing wrong with someone wishing to build and develop to make themselves a dollar (or two). To this I do not object. I do object, however, to the glossing over of the motive for the development. This is a pub, pure and simple. A retail outlet for alcohol. Anyone who builds a pub wants to make money. Their principal method of making money is to sell alcohol. To maximise their income they will try to sell as much of the alcohol as they can. They will employ many methods to attract as many drinkers for as many hours as possible; it’s called market share.

Will they restrict their opening hours to 10am–10pm when there are still willing drinkers to be attracted? You be the judge. No matter how many times you hear that this is more of a ‘community centre’, don’t be fooled. It is just another pub. Community centres are not usually built by millionaires with a finely developed profit motive. If you read that it is ‘family friendly style’, ask yourself what is so family friendly about selling alcohol to allcomers, young and old, late at night in a suburban area. No doubt there has been mention of the children’s play-

ground and ‘landscaped play area’. Only a few would be fooled by this. This will be an establishment designed to attract drinkers. A pub in Sunrise Beach? To whose profit and to whose detriment? A Laslett

A hollow shell

Katharine Myres, manager of the Byron Bay Visitor Information Centre (VIC), claims that the VIC is unfunded by Council and unsubsidised by the community (Echo article, February 22). The VIC pays Council $8 per week rent for

this heavily community-subsidised, Council-owned building and section of Council bus stop road reserve (with Council picking up all the big maintenance and repair bills). The VIC generates over $250,000 pa from the Council premises and road reserve, while the residents foot the maintenance bill and forgo a market rent. Part of the VIC’s $250,000 tourism income is payments from the holiday let agency operating from the premises. This is a further resident subsidy of the VIC’s income from an industry that doesn’t pay for the public infrastructure needed to service it. These main street

premises should yield a commercial rent from this commercial body, or subsidised for a genuine community purpose. Considering the community damage from the VIC’s holiday let activities, an emergency hostel for families kicked out of their premises for holiday let rentals would be an appropriate use. Katharine also states that there is VIC synergy with her role on Council’s Tourism Advisory Committee. I’d agree with her there. In a committee that is supposed to be about sustainable tourism, Katherine, as VIC manager, was also in a recent ad by the developers

As the VIC plays its part in turning this community into a hollow shell decorated with the baubles of tourist consumerism, perhaps we now need gimmicks to attract the tourists. I suggest a Byron version of the Big Prawn – a big tourist attraction of a golden calf crapping on a goose laying golden eggs. And who would pay for it?

Byron Shire used to have the third highest employment rate in the state, after Sydney and Newcastle. Other regions have managed the change from the previous era of stripmining now-exhausted natural resources, and managed the change of an altered agricultural supply system. All other regions have left Byron behind, with Byron now having one of the highest unemployment rates and one of the lowest household incomes in the state. The Byron tourist industry is now strip-mining the remaining community, and the VIC is their main street coordinator. Council will be reviewing VIC’s lease in the coming months. I say shut them down.

Ducks crossing

After reading about the ducks being run over on Left Bank Road, Mullumbimby, I thought all concerned would enjoy this news. I was travelling back from Ballina through Byron on Broken Head Road near before the shop and the traffic slowed down and stopped both ways. There were two cars in front of me and I could see what was going on in front of the car opposite. A mother duck with 4-5 chicks wanted to cross this busy road and did so in safety, thanks to the two drivers who stopped to let her and her brood do so. This is a valuable lesson for all those driving on Left Bank Road, Mullumbimby, and throughout the shire. Paul Brecht

Bringing back the Birdwing butterfly

Camping out with the kids

The Richmond Birdwing Butterfly Ornithoptera richmondia is one of the largest and most beautiful native butterflies in Australia. The female has an impressive wingspan of up to 15 centimetres, the male has brilliant green and black wings and bright red splash on its thorax. They live in subtropical rainforest where their larval host plants grow. But this rainforest habitat has been extensively cleared, with less than one per cent remaining. As a result, the butterfly is struggling to survive. The Richmond Birdwing Butterfly is threatened by climate change, loss of habitat, and a rogue vine that poisons the larvae. In addition, its larval host plant, the Birdwing Vine, has become extinct from two-thirds of its original range, threatening the butterfly further. In a concerted effort to bring back the Birdwing Butterfly, CSIRO have funded the planting of the Birdwing Vine in Grafton and Modanville; and the Richmond Birdwing Conservation Network and concerned gardeners have been planting the vine in Queensland. Local not-for-profit organisation, Rainforest Rescue, has launched a new project to help bring back the Richmond

A new national program is being piloted in primary schools here in the Northern Rivers. On Saturday February 26 over 30 6-10-year-old boys and girls from Cape Byron Rudolf Steiner School spent the night camping on the school oval with one of their parents or a mentor. The intention is to run the program in schools all over Australia annually. CampOut with Kids has been designed to create an environment where kids can spend quality one-on-one time with their parent or guardian while doing something fun and engaging. The program was also run at St John’s College and Durrumbul School in Mullumbimby during November 2010 and was very successful. CampOut with Kids is the brainchild of Dr Arne Rubinstein, the founding CEO of the Pathways Foundation. He has started a ‘social enterprise’ called Liminal Space with local businessman James Dods, which is dedicated to helping boys and girls reach their full potential through rites of passage and creating strong family relationships. Show bags provided contained cool things for the kids, and a booklet of great parenting tips for the adults. Dr Rubinstein says, ‘Camp

Birdwing Butterfly to northern New South Wales. ‘In the early 1900s, the Birdwing butterfly was found in great numbers from the Mary River Heads in Queensland to the Clarence River in New South Wales. To the west, it reached the Great Dividing Range,’ says Kelvin Davies, Rainforest Rescue CEO, ‘but today, the Richmond Birdwing Butterfly is classified as threatened. It exists only in small numbers in two small areas – from Caboolture to Kin Kin in the north, and Nerang to Wardell in the south. We are creating a local population of the Birdwing Vine to encourage the return of this beautiful butterfly to our region.’ To launch the new conservation project, Rainforest Rescue has partnered with the Rich-

Comment

Coronial inquest fails to find justice for Jai Morcom tices of The Echo of 29/9/09: ‘Fast Bucks wants you to read disgraceful page 5 of current issue of Ross Tucker’s Saturday Star. Fanning hatred won’t reduce school violence.’ The last sentence was a reference to the habit of the Saturday Star of resorting to sarcasm and sneering putdowns as a substitute for facts and argument. The Star thrives on division and tension rather than consensus and resolution. The fact that Tucker got involved at all made me wonder: is there a political dimension to all this? Did the school gangs perhaps reflect the redneck/ alternative divisions in the ‘grown up’ world passed on as it were to the ‘next generation’? Was there a perception out there that Jai had died at the hands of redneck kids, a perception which Ross Tucker felt he needed to minimise? These questions made me nervous about how thorough the police and the inquest process would be. Bear in mind that I’ve represented myself in the Magistrates, District, Supreme and Land & Environ-

Fast Buck$

I was as shocked as anyone to learn at the time of Jai Morcom’s death that any form of gang violence could exist at Mullumbimby High. I knew not a single teacher or student there as a source of information and even when I saw Jai’s father doing his lonely street protests I perceived only a grieving father desperate for personal resolution and confronted instead with a slow relentless and impersonal legal process that seemed to him to be vaguely protecting those responsible. It was only when I read a piece in Ross Tucker’s Saturday Star of September 09 that my interest peaked. This article was obviously a response to rumours swirling around town and was peculiarly defensive. Among the ugly tone the statement I remember clearly was one suggesting that those greenies who went up into the forest and obstructed logging were also members of ‘gangs’. I was so disgusted that I placed the following in the Public No-

ment Courts as well as the Court of Appeals and the High Court, each on multiple occasions. I’ve seen senior judges discard evidence and arguments that didn’t fit their preferred conclusions and write them out of the official history (ie their judgments) as though they’d never existed, never been put before the court. I’ve seen witnesses give testimony that was blatantly the product of intensive coaching by their lawyers. Any lawyer will tell you (off the record, of course) that this sort of shit is not unusual. One disgusted barrister even told me ‘If you want justice don’t go through the courts.’

to make a general overview statement about what he thought had happened he was quietly told to wait for closing submissions, ie the end of the hearing. Angered by all this I attended on the day on which the first student witnesses appeared. In the next three hours I saw more than enough to confirm my fears. Firstly the prevailing cordial gentlemanly mood, which can be quite oppressive in the subtle way it discourages frankness and spontaneity. In this context what some would call a gang, for example, becomes merely a ‘group’ – much more civilised and controllable.

things but remembered them after reading the statement. Counsel was then at pains to tie this witness to the particulars in his signed statement, but instead of proceeding clause by clause and asking him to verify each one individually he listed them in groups, so that the claim that ‘Jai was throwing punches’ was put to the witness in a job lot with other statements which he was expected to verify in a block. The witness’s brows knitted in consternation and it was obvious that he wanted to disagree but that he was too overwhelmed by the situation. Regardless of this the witness later said that Jai was very

Some of the student statements were taken after the intervening weekend, allowing ample time for gossip and discussion, ie contamination. I’ve no idea how students (and there were others, so I’m told) came to sign statements containing significant inaccuracies. Evidently the interview process was sloppy – or worse.

D

espite all those misgivings I had no intention of getting involved in the Jai case until I read in the Northern Star that the Byron Tweed Police Commander had appeared in the witness box at the beginning of the coronial inquest and announced that Jai was no innocent bystander or do-gooder and had actually participated in the brawl, even throwing punches. It’s an elementary legal principle that witnesses tell what they observed, but don’t offer opinions, yet here we had a bloke who wasn’t even there on the day offering his opinion – based on what? As far as I’m concerned this contaminated the process from the outset; it signalled the outcome which Authority expected. By contrast Jai’s father told me that when he wanted

Mainly, however, I was offended by the blatantly ineffectual and sloppy examination of the witnesses. I noticed in one case that Counsel Assisting the Coroner (the rough equivalent of a prosecutor) actively solicited an opinion from the witness. Counsel then compounded this by failing to explore the validity of that opinion based on what the witness had seen, and by failing to explore the reliability of the witness.

T

he next witness was a member of the opposing gang/group who yet professed friendship with Jai. This seeming contradiction went unexplored. He was asked whether he recalled the events as related in his signed statement. Interestingly he replied that he’d forgotten some

popular and not violent. This was a contradiction which both Counsel and the Coroner had a duty to explore and resolve but they showed no interest whatsoever. The clincher, however, in relation to this witness came when he said he had seen a particular student holding Jai against a wall but hadn’t seen how Jai had come to be against the wall. He’d looked away and next thing Jai was on the ground next to the wall, so he rushed over, cradled Jai’s head in his arms and started yelling for an ambulance. However suddenly a female teacher appeared and pushed him away – so that Jai hit his head again. ‘Again’ for Christ’s sake? This cried out for challenge and elaboration. But the silence was deafening and Counsel swiftly moved on to the next point. I suppose it goes without saying that the student was unable to identify the particular teacher. I was grossing out, but after lunch I forced myself back in there for the third student. I’m glad I did; this eloquent chap

when asked to confirm his signed statement said pointedly that it in fact had quite a few inaccuracies in it. He also revealed that he’d only been given a copy of it that very morning. This of course breaches all norms of procedure; a witness, like anyone else, is entitled to time to consider and digest a statement made in a stressful situation 18 months earlier, and which seeks to tie him to certain observations that may affect the lives of others. Some of the student statements were taken after the intervening weekend, allowing ample time for gossip and discussion, ie contamination. I’ve no idea how students (and there were others, so I’m told) came to sign statements containing significant inaccuracies. Evidently the interview process was sloppy – or worse.

O

ne more observation I need to make is that immediately after the incident members of one gang were marched to the office, but the gang identified with Jai’s age-group were not. Does this indicate who the teachers regarded as to blame for the tragedy? Certainly they were in a prime position to know, but the subsequent unfair flak they’ve copped would have tended to make them back off, wouldn’t it? I conclude by saying that from a certain perspective you could try to justify the coronial circus along the lines that Jai’s dead, nothing will bring him back, there’s no point punishing other young people and further clouding their lives; boys always fight and teachers can only do so much, so let’s move on. I understand the sentiment, but surely such ought to be decided by a court. It’s not the function of a so-called coronial inquest to skew the evidence and process towards a predetermined outcome already decided by faceless men behind closed doors, even if they had the very best of intentions – which I doubt.

Giving birth to an uncertain future get insect. In the crisis of 19992001, harmless monarch butterfly caterpillars were killed by one variety of GM corn, but not two others. By fluke, these safer ones happen to be commercially preferred varieties. The other variety was finally banned before causing wider damage. Still, a rare blue butterfly is at risk. So are common ladybirds and lacewings. Who expected that?

Story & photo Mary Gardner

My mop was enjoying a summertime break, leaning against the outside wall by the laundry door. Now, when I reach for it, there are three mud wasp nests on the wooden handle where it meets the mop head. Surely, if I prise these cocoons off the handle, the larvae will die. I vaguely remember something sad about ‘untimely ripped from mother’s womb’. The hot day turns sticky and fey. I’m slightly queasy with the unasked for opportunity to investigate unborn creatures. But inside the mud compartments, the auburn cocoons are bright cellophane parcels. I snip one open, revealing the pale form of the undeveloped wasp. The black and yellow markings are missing. The eyes are baleful, broken from their inner dreams. Yet they don’t appear to see the alternative dream outside of them. The curled-up body does not move. Recently, as a freshly hatched caterpillar, this creature ate two or three paralysed small spiders. These were provisions left in the mud cell by its mother. After the meal, it wrapped itself up in a blanket of spit and slept. Its varied cells turned back into stem cells. These master cells divided and differentiated. They almost finished with creating an adult insect when I interrupted.

Metamorphosis In 1651, William Harvey explained this metamorphosis of insects such as wasps, butterflies and moths. He said the tiny egg simply did not have enough nutrition to become an adult. It must hatch early and feed voraciously. In effect, it was a free-living embryo, building up its strength. Finally it became a cocoon, which he called a ‘second egg’. That’s been the favoured story for a long time. Another idea is that the one lifecycle is actually of two adult forms hitched together. Somehow, unrelated eggs and sperm

made matches that grew into hybrids, like mules. But the new creatures were fertile. They and their offspring take two forms over their lifetime. Each develops in sequence; first one, then the other.

Gene gun Could that happen? This ‘hybridogenesis’ idea outrages mainstream biologists. They prefer practicalities like ‘biolistics’: coating metal particles with selected DNA and shooting them at high speed into the embryonic cells of plants or animals. Some of the target cells survive the blast. When they divide and grow, they also copy and pass on the new material. Using this ‘gene gun’, invented by John Sanford of Cornell University in 1987, is the most popular way to create genetically modified organisms (GMO). Nearly all of Australia’s crops of cotton are GM varieties. So is just under ten per cent of the canola crop, largely in NSW, WA and VIC. Blue carnations are GM. Australia cooperates with the US and Canada in testing GM wheat. Currently, 28 Australian field trial sites grow experimental papaya, pineapple, sugarcane, grapevines, rice, white clover, wheat, Indian mustard, bananas, barley, perennial ryegrass, tall fescue, corn, roses and more carnations. GM plants are sold as ‘im-

proved’ crops. Thanks to biolistics, they are impervious to the herbicide RoundUp. Alternatively, they can be made toxic: each of their cells full of crystals which kill insects that feed on them. The most popular toxin is copied from that of the Bacillus thuringiensis bacteria (Bt). Whatever the change, all crops are still bound to the usual evolution games between plants and insects.

Resistant insects In paddocks, there are always some target insects on GM plants that don’t die, who manage to reproduce, and whose offspring are also not affected. Consider the Bt GM crops. In 2009, Monsanto announced that cotton bollworms in India were now resistant to their GM cotton. Also, both India and China report that other unexpected types of insects now like the GM crop and are new pests. That’s what we know so far. Ecological monitoring of GM crops is complicated because there are so many variables in plant-insect relationships. These insects with caterpillar and adult stages? Their young and adults interact with different parts of a plant, at different times or even with different plants altogether. Advance testing by regulatory bodies is simplistic, using only a crop and a specific tar-

So much about GM crops is proving like a prophecy misinterpreted. The effects on non-target species are only a part of seven major issues with GM crops ranging from human health to fraud. The 2010 status report of International Service for Acquisition of Agri-Biotech Applications (ISAAA) remains enthusiastic. But in the past three years, their reports show the top five countries planting GM crops are still planting 90 per cent of the global effort. Over 60 per cent is planted in the US. Perhaps biotech companies see Birnam Forest moving. In 2009, a US federal judge ruled that, due to significant ecosystem risks, government agencies erred in planting GM crops in a Delaware nature reserve. The other cocoons rest on my desk for over a week. I get a shock when a new wasp buzzes inside the jar. Good. I’m wrong. It’s got its little life after all. I let it outside. It speeds off to find nectar and pollen and take on evolution, agribusiness and any other biologists making assumptions.

HEALTH& beauty ATLASPROFILAX– HOW IS IT DIFFERENT FROM OTHER MODALITIES?

This unique method safely and gently relaxes the deepest tissue attaching the atlas to the base of the skull, thereby erasing holding patterns without any manipulation of the spine. The release is permanent as the head rests securely on the atlas and the dural torque of the whole spine releases. This immediately corrects imbalanced pelvis and leg lengths. The following issues may be the result of a misaligned atlas: neck, back, joint pain; headaches; allergies; asthma; attention deficit; fibromyalgia; herniated discs; insomnia; scoliosis; numbness and tingling; sinusitus; TMJ; tendonitis; anxiety; depression. See the advert in this feature for more information.

Did you know that the first cervical vertebra, the atlas, is out of alignment in most people? ATL AS P RO FILAX® by René C. Schuemperli

This circumstance leads to a variety of physical and psychological ailments and illnesses. Atlasprofilax is a neuromuscular technique that liberates the Atlas with only one application Accurately, Safely and Permanently. This powerful relocation immediately activates a self-healing and harmonising process. It is holistic in nature, promoting wellness and rejuvenation on all levels, mind, body and spirit. This method is non-medical, non-chiropratic.

One treatment can be life changing. The Atlas supports your head and governs structural alignment. A misaligned Atlas causes restriction of the brain stem, spinal cord, cranial nerves and arteries. This limits our potential for wellbeing and creates tension, restricting the free flow of energy. When the Atlas is installed correctly, the body begins an unwinding process, releasing holding patterns and enabling the body to heal and regenerate.

Craniosacral at its most reďŹ ned is a synthesis of art, science and meditation. These complementary aspects of this most subtle bodywork are given thorough consideration in the training offered by Craniosacral Australia. A new Byron Bay training is commencing with an introductory weekend 7–8 May, the ďŹ rst part of a four- weekend level 1 course. Craniosacral Australia offers a complete training, four levels at six monthly intervals. There is a free Introductory evening at the Byron Community Centre 7pm, Wednesday May 4. The training is conducted by Dhyan Trevor and Lydia (Heera) Cattani. Trevor has taught craniosacral for 20 years. Heera, 23 years a yoga teacher, has practised craniosacral since 1993.

Many women equate hot ushes and night sweats only with menopause, believing if they can get rid of these symptoms then their problem is solved. However, in reality these symptoms are only two of a number of health issues 6685 4971 that can arise during this phase of www.craniosacral.com.au life, causing your body to decline physically, mentally, spiritually and info@craniosacral.com.au emotionally. They are the body’s ‘red alert’, indicating internal imbalances that will also result in other symptoms gradually appearing, as indicated in the picture‌(see Yatan Holistic advert on these pages). Using the time-tested and holistic treatment approach of Ayurveda, Raman Das has great success and very positive feedback from women he is treating for menopause – so they heal and bloom!

So you want to look younger? At Byron Bay’s Jasmine House Cosmetic Laser Clinic we use specialised medical infra-red techniques to repair damaged collagen beneath the skin’s surface. This is almost like ironing out wrinkles, and tightens sagging skin–without downtime. Even under a microscope, the treated areas look younger and less damaged, so the results are natural-looking and last many years. Infra-red treatment is not a camouage procedure like muscle relaxant injections or ďŹ llers. Infra-red actually repairs damaged skin, and the results are impressive.

Call us on 02 6680 8496 for more information or a complimentary cosmetic consultation.

I’m going to put them all in a hat and draw them out.

KU PROMOTIONS PRESENT TWO GREAT GYPSY-INSPIRED ACTS THIS WEEK: GIPSY CZ AND HAREM’DE. SEVEN CAUGHT UP WITH THEM ON THE EVE OF THEIR GIGS HERE. GYPSY CZ’S LEAD SINGER RADOSLAV BANGA AND VIOLINIST LAVICKA VOJTA LAVICKA WERE ON THE HOT SPOT. What is it about gypsy music that sets it apart? RB: Energy, joy and sadness at the same moment. VL: Musical tradition is the mirror of the national mentality. You could easily make gypsies laughing or crying, touch or excite. We are very emotional people

and emotions are driving us. Our music is the same: uncontrollably rolling on, and no one stays lukewarm. Why do you think it resonates so deeply with our feelings of joy and longing? RB: The emotions in gypsy music are clear, simple and very intense. VL: Gypsies are poor very often, but happy and straight in emotions. And the music is opening this part inside every person. The emotions of modern and rich people are locked by lots of conventions, rules, manners. And our music has the power to unlock these blocked emotions ‌  What are the stories that you tell?

How do you make what you do different? What modern influences do you infuse with the traditional? RB: I like hip hop, r’n’b, rock as well as serious music. All these musics have an impact on the songs in some way, as coming by our ears and lives. VL: We are mixing mostly hip-hop style with gypsy music. That’s a bit complicated: hip-hop is clear and straight in its direction and rhythm, with exact simple beats, while gypsy music is always flying by, swinging around the basic rhythm structure, bustling and spontaneous. We’ve found the compromise between these two music principles I think, which works well. We have the exact straight beats, but also playing spontaneously, flying by the basic rhythm frame. And the people like it.

RB: Some of my lyrics are kaleidoscopes; Â the inspiration could come from everyday life, love, nature, Â but also from the bad news around us. Some songs are based on Can you tell me what to expect for your shows in the real stories of the people I know, too. Byron Shire? VL: Most of our songs are about love, but you can find songs reflecting the problems of racism or drugs.

RB+VL: Big party; everyone could be a gypsy with us there, if just for one night!

ANGER IS AN ENERGY... When you’ve got the shits, even the smallest thing can push you over the edge. I’m a pretty passive person; sure I’m super opinionated and mouthy and I’ll give you an earful if I think your ideas suck, but generally I rarely take anything personally. Yesterday I had the shits. Big time. Where confrontation usually washes off me like fees for using the auto-teller, and criticism isn’t an attack but merely verbal foreplay to a tasty debate, yesterday I was in bitch mode. If I was a boxer and Muhammed Ail came into my ring, then yesterday he would have been crying for his mummy. I suppose you could say that I woke up on the wrong side of bed. Although, for me, the wrong side of the bed would be luxury. I rarely sleep. (Except when I’m driving.) I’m woken anywhere between five and 17 times each night and have been for the past two years. My baby daughter Ivy could work at Guantanamo Bay, such is her talent for ongoing sleep torture. I’m so sleep deprived I’m no longer tired. I’m just plain intolerant. From the moment my feet hit the floor yesterday I could feel the hot stubble of my very short fuse. You know that feeling when the stress levels are so high that you’re just looking for a reason to blow off steam? Thankfully, in my life, opportunities for steam release are everywhere. I found myself on the phone berating the woman from ‘Guide Dogs from the Blind’ for daring to call me at home during my breakfast routine. When my son didn’t get his lunch box out of his bag from the day before I put him on the wait list for foster care and when an elderly woman pulled into a parking space I had my eye on, I told her to go park in the disabled spot. Then I noticed that she had. And she was disabled. Then I told her I was from the council and her sticker was no longer valid. (That’s not entirely true, but I certainly considered it.) During my twenties I avoided confrontation. I was one of those people who spent a good part of their day bitching about how they’d been wronged, but when presented with the opportunity of giving a voice to my grievance I’d back away. Like a big pussy. Then I’d sulk. It was very attractive. I was a two-faced bitch. I used to find it hard to tell people how I felt. Now I don’t seem to be able to stop. The thing is, though, I won’t talk about you behind your back any more. I’ll say it to your face. I don’t know if that makes me any better a person, it just feels a lot less toxic.

Yesterday I had to hold myself back from intervening in a public situation. I was in a shop when I overheard this bloke unload vitriol about his ex-wife. Words to the tune of ‘she got the house, the car, the money, the furniture...’. His little girl is standing there. Silently with big quiet sad eyes. I feel like saying ‘Listen mate, no matter how bad it’s been for you, don’t say it in front of your kid! She may be a bitch, but she’s still this kid’s mother.’ Thank god I don’t say this. Frankly, it’s none of my business. This is a small town. You can’t go around unloading your angst every time you buy a kilo of sausages. I get home and ring a lawyer who’s left me a message. I don’t know this guy. He’s an aggressive prick. I am not in the mood so I say ’Listen, buddy, I don’t trust lawyers. And I certainly don’t trust you. How do I know that anything you’re telling me has any validity? Why don’t you put it in an email and I’ll run it past my sister-in-law who’s a business lawyer and then I’ll get back to you.’ The guy sends a text saying he’s withdrawing his involvement from the matter about which we spoke. Man, I’m such a bitch today I’m even frightening off lawyers. Someone at The Echo had a go at my decision to run a certain interview and I threatened to resign. Watch out, man, Henry Kissinger’s on crack. If you’d put me in front of a bulldozer clearing rainforest I would have pulled the injectors out with my teeth. I just felt angry. Angry at stupidity and laziness and bullies and injustice and insensitivity....and at my inability to ever affect any real change in them, or myself. It was all I could do to resist going in to Centrelink and performing a primal scream at the front desk. ‘Why can’t I get a childcare subsidy? You idiots say my joint income is too high but we have five children, you knuckleheads, not one. Go have a look in my bank account! I’m wearing a $4 Rockmans frock I bought at Vinnies!’ I made it to dinner without actually endangering or harming anyone, although I was tempted to kick the dog. Then I had a glass of wine. And apathy and indifference set in once again. Today, I’m a nice person. Almost...

Why are you running your shows at the Drill Hall? I’m presenting the show that I’m taking to the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. I chose The Drill Hall because it’s intimate, theatrical and affordable, which means cheap tickets!

I don’t know many people who have watched a Joel Salom show and managed to keep their jaw from falling wide open. The guy’s a freak. And I mean that nicely. It’s just that, well, I’m not the kind of person who’s ever been that interested in juggling circus type performance, but Joel is absolutely world class. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone any better than him. So when Joel Salom decides to test the waters of standup comedy alongside his internationally sought circus skills, I’d say thats a show worth catching. Seven caught up with Joel on the eve of his run at the Drill Hall.

How do you describe yourself as a performer? A comedian, then if the conversation goes further, a comedian who juggles rhythms, robotics, lasers and life. Â

not at the top of the performance food chain but it’s the same as most forms; when it’s done really well it veritably can be not as bad as it sounds.  Why does a boy start juggling? It was the coolest thing in the world to me as a boy. I started doing festival gigs when I was 15, toured Europe at 21; and I grew up on a dairy farm, so it beat getting up at 4am every day to milk cows. As a kid I was into BMX, juggling and jazz ballet; I knew what was cool.Â

Past and aspiring presenters can pick up program submission forms at BayFM, upstairs in the Community Centre during ofďŹ ce hours.

You are branching out into standup comedy and adult shows alongside your circus. Why? To add another layer to my comedy and to challenge myself. I have performed in 15 countries over the last 18 years as a Comedy Juggler, in circuses, cabarets, festivals and corporate events, and I have been writing ideas for standup material for the last five years. In a way, I feel like I’ve been working toward this show my whole career.   What are the challenges that you face along the way? Being hospitalised for eight days from a compound fracture of my collarbone and shoulder blade, then being told that I had a 50 per cent chance of ever having full movement. Erik the Robot Dog’s head keeps falling off, the Global Financial Crisis really hasn’t helped lately, and juggling a pregnant wife, a mortgage and a touringbased career is a bit of a challenge, too.Â

You’ve got a hectic schedule. Your partner is due to have your second child very soon. How do you manage all your commitments and still make it to the birth? I finish performing at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival five days before she is due! Then my son and I fly to Seattle four days after she’s due! My wife and our new baby join us in Seattle a month later! Not sure how that will work out but my wife is amazing, her friends are amazing, and the four-month contract that we are going to Seattle for is pretty amazing too! We have managed many near-impossible life choices; I hope this one will work out too.Â

Northern Rivers Music Showcase

What are the things that you touch on in your humour? I have a heap of very physical skits and for my standup material; attempting to control media-obsessed kids, the challenge to conceive my unborn child and how much my brother hated me.Â

What about the regular dude? Regular Joel dude? I love my family, my home, travelling, playing tennis, doing wheelies, meditating, renovating, innovating and procreating.

Byron International Film Festival

Our presenters will have fresh ideas, great music, quality presentation and something to share with the community.

What is your show about? Physical comedy, lasers, a frustrated robotic dog, how our kids shape us, that dandruff can be quite attractive, and pet hates.

How would you describe the comedy persona of Joel Salom? An excited work in progress.Â

March is submission month for the Winter period!

Is it a meditative thing? What are the qualities you most need to succeed? If meditation is the challenge of clearing your mind and being present in the moment, then yes it’s very meditative. On the other hand, it can be completely and utterly frustrating. Patience is definitely the main quality needed for success.Â

If you weren’t a performer, what would you be doing? I could imagine being a carpenter/builder/renovator type guy. I love working with wood and tools when I get spare time; it seems like such a relaxing option sometimes. What should we expect for your shows at the Drill Hall? About an hour of laughs, gasps, and evolved craft. Not like knitting craft; like interactive lasers, robotics, video and comedy performance craft.  Joel Salom performs Fridays in March, starting this Friday, with two extra shows, 11 and 18. Tix are $15 at the door. Please note for all kiddie fans, Joel’s show is M-rated, 15-plus audience, as he will be exploring some adult themes! 7.30pm show time.

Electric iCONs This almost annual emission of the latest live sparks in the east coast underground promises to rock your soul in true Byron style. Be there early to enjoy the hypnotic performance of Sydney’s Alice Space Doll, an extraordinary female vocalist creating her unique sound using electronic beats, psychedelic melodies and effects as well as acoustic instruments such as live drums, guitars and percussion. Before midnight, catch (ex-Byron/ now Sydney) new-wave electro act, The Unravelling, as they leap into action with evocative melodies, catchy hooklines and fine electro beats. Finally Byron/UK act iCON takes to the stage with a scintillating performance of what the band describes as pop/punk/orchestral/ burlesque/rock and roll. There will also be performers, wicked lighting and visuals, and support from local DJs, including DEEGS and the final set of the night from DJ Dan Webber. Live Electro 3 sparks up at the Hotel Great Northern on Saturday.

Beach Music – Red Ink, Red Eyes and Kato Red Ink are not your average band; they are not here for a quick rise to the top, to jump on a style trend, or to ride a wave of hype.

Their hundreds of gigs across the country and thousands of hours crafting GARRETT KA TO AT THE B their sound EACH HOTE L ON WEDNES have paid DAY off in the form of an underground following strong across Australia and sinking its claws in across the world.

Melbourne’s very own Reggae superstars, The Red Eyes, have firmly established their position as one of Australia’s leading original acts in the Dub/Reggae genre. The band have received critical acclaim for their 2010 album release Red Army, including a nomination for ‘Best Blues & Roots Album’ at the 2010 Australian Independent Record Label Awards, ‘Album of the Week’ on PBS FM and Radio Australia, and invitations to perform at major festivals around the country. They’re at The Beachie on Sunday from 4.30pm, free. Catch Garrett Kato, accompanied by drummer Ben Livermore at the Beach Hotel on Wednesday. Past reviews have compared the duo to anyone from Ray Lamontagne and Mumford and Sons to David Bowie. Garrett Kato is soon to release his first full length LP The Wilderness, produced by Todd Simko (Xavier Rudd, The Organ).

Lorange in Lennox Canadian-born slide guitarist Kirk Lorange has been living here since the 70s and has contributed to scores of album tracks, dozens of TV and soundtracks, and played in too many line-ups to name.

And for those of you who haven’t experienced this band you're in for a real treat! Sunday at the Lennox Pub from 4pm.

Not Just a Suburban Girl Turiya Bruce opens her latest show at Alstonville’s Barratt Galleries on Saturday at midday. ‘(Not) Just a Suburban Girl’ is a divergent exploration of how culturally we have corrupted the true essence of our divine human nature, leaving us to operate out of notions of a false or wounded self, thereby learning to compromise our inner knowing for goodness. Turiya has tackled this challenging subject by using her own childhood images and memories as the portal into the theme.

Call for Sculptors Dev Lengjel announces a call for sculptors to enter the fourth sculpture show at the Writers Festival. This year’s theme of the writers’ festival is all about passion. What an opportunity for sculptors to show works that express that sentiment! The works will have to withstand the elements, of course. Candy Baker, as the new head of the Writers Festival, is encouraging sculptors by initiating a popular choice award by gold coin donation as well as a prize of $1,000 to be awarded by Betty Churcher who is presenting her latest book at the festival. Please contact Dev Lengjel on dev@sculptureshow.net for details.

F TAURUS: This week’s a bit of a mystery dance so stay open and available to its exciting surprises, witchy synchronicities and random chances.

Until the computer era, chess books were the main source of advice and information for aspiring chessplayers; in the 1970s it was estimated that more books had been published on chess than on all other sports put together! Australian bookshops have tended to stock only a handful of beginners’ chess books, so when the book chain Borders arrived in Australia and displayed a wide range of chess books, they were snapped up by eager chess fans. However, replacements were not forthcoming – just a few copies of Chess for Dummies and the like – so players from outside Sydney were forced to return to mail order options from specialist chess shops such as Australian Chess Enterprises and Chess Discount Sales. (More recently bookdepository.com has taken over as the best place to shop for chess books.) Curiously, while the collapse of the Borders chain this week will have little impact on Australian chessplayers, its effect on the United States chess scene will be

M SAGITTARIUS: This week stimulates your inner visionary, making aspirations vivid and alluring. If you’re restless for new horizons, reorganising your daily routines into something more exciting and imaginative could be just the adventure you’re looking for – because the change you’re after begin on inner levels first... N CAPRICORN: As the Universal Joker escalates this week’s instability factor, don’t take disappointments to heart. If plans go pear shaped, take charge and turn this to your advantage by stepping beyond your everyday behaviour, thinking outside the square and responding in a new and radically different way. O AQUARIUS: This emotional week suggests working with your feelings instead of suppressing them. Aquarian Venus and midweek moon function well in friendships and groups, less so in intimate situations, so listen to your heart rather than your head when dealing with the up close and personal stuff. P P ISCES: By all means let your spirit soar with mystic waves of inspiration, but meanwhile back in the world of consensus reality miscommunication with non-Pisceans could be rife. Understanding cause and effect is important, because the way you behave is what determines this week’s results.

E N T E R T A I N M E N T

Gnomeo and Juliet Did you hear the collective groan when news broke of Bazz Luhrmann’s intention to do a re-make of The Great Gatsby? More baffling for fans of F Scott Fitzgerald’s sublime novel is Bazz’s decision to shoot it in 3D. (Why? Because it’s there?) The technique is  not just a passing fad, but it is increasingly evident that, at this stage of its evolution, it is more satisfactorily applied to animation, where its trippy qualities are an enhancement rather than a scene stealer. Like Luhrmann, director Kelly Asbury, has got his hands on a revered classic and, considering that the movie is primarily aimed at kids; his take on William Shakespeare’s story of the star-crossed lovers

is harmless and upbeat. The Montagues and the Capulets are here represented by neighbouring backyard gnomes who, like their human owners, are locked in a bitter feud. The futility and pettiness of such disputes is made plain to young viewers when Juliet from the red house, a Betty Boop type cutie, falls in love with the traditionally rotund and bearded but nonetheless boyish Romeo from the blue house. The dialogue has been brought into the twenty-first century – Juliet’s famous balcony soliloquy is a little gem of clarity, with ‘wherefore’ thankfully given its proper meaning of ‘why’ – and lots of fun is had with wordplay – ‘I’m not illiterate, my parents were married’ growls the vocabularyrattled Lord Redbrick (voiced

by Michael Caine). Oldies are kept in the loop with constant references to popular culture – my favourite was the terraferminator lawn-mower – and engaged in recognising and naming the echoes of Elton John hits that are scattered throughout. Crocodile Rock, Saturday Night, Your Song and others fit perfectly into the scenario, with the poignant melody of Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word being especially effective. The need, however, to employ prominent actors such as James McAvoy, Emily Blunt and Maggie Smith to read the parts is a mystery for, with the exception of Caine and the fabulously crotchety Richard Wilson, characterisations are universally nondescript. This being a joyful diversion for sub-teens, Shakespeare’s tragic ending needed to be altered and Asbury has the good grace to do that without pretending that he has not taken liberties with the play, going so far as to bring a statue of the Bard to life and seeking approval for a happy-ever-after dancing wrap. It’s not exactly a masterpiece, but then again Ballina Cinema is not exactly the Globe Theatre. I enjoyed it. ~ John Campbell

Conviction Every now and then you’ve just got to take your hat off to the hair and make-up people. As Roseanna, a bourbon-soaked hag, Juliette Lewis has been given a mouthful of the most rotten, discoloured, broken teeth that you will ever see. She is a crucial player in this faithful account of how Betty Anne Waters (Hilary Swank) put herself through law school in order to represent her wrongly incarcerated brother Kenny (Sam Rockwell). Though her moments on screen are relatively few, Lewis contributes a fantastic performance in a movie that doesn’t quite deliver on the efforts of its flawless cast. Set in a poor white trash town of Massachusetts, the story is based on a real-life travesty of justice that saw Kenny Waters stitched up by a bent policewoman, found guilty of a brutal murder and put away for life without parole. After visiting the scene of the bloody

crime, the opening sequences are made up of a number of haphazard time jumps that (for me) were not at first entirely comprehensible, getting a handle on events made that little bit more difficult by the number of characters involved. The scatter-gun chronology, focusing frequently on their unsettled, deprived childhood, provides an insight into the conviction that Betty Anne would later display in her unflinching belief in and support of Kenny, while it also allows the viewer to get closer to the erratic and, it must be said, not particularly likeable Kenny. A product of his social milieu and fated to be a victim of class rigidity, he is violent and lairising but by far the more interesting of the pair, as Betty Anne all too soon takes on the standard persona of the little gal versus the big unfair world. It was the acceptance into legal cases of DNA evidence that was to ultimately clear Kenny (this is not a spoiler – it’s spelt out early), but until then the nagging doubt that he may have actually done it is a dark undercurrent that is lost with his exoneration. In the second half of the film I couldn’t avoid the ‘oh, here we go’ sense of familiarity that accompanies any tried and true format as director Tony Goldwyn seemed to content himself with letting proceedings drift into auto-pilot. Consequently, the ultimate victory, after Kenny has served eighteen years behind bars, is not as inspiring as it might have been. It’s wholehearted and absorbing, but routine, right down to the obligatory photo of the real-life siblings shown as the closing credits roll. ~ John Campbell

family, including seven boozy daughters with big hair, that gives poor white trash a bad name. Dickie, a retired fighter whose claim to fame is that he once decked the great Sugar Ray Leonard, has had his brains scrambled by crack cocaine and Alice, who lights up one cigarette after another with the malice of a gunslinger loading his cartridges, is a hard-as-nails matriarch like none you have seen before. Bale’s performance, for my taste a bit over-ripe (the appearance by the real Dickie in the closing credits suggests that it is nonetheless accurate), leaves little for Wahlberg to work with, but it’s Leo who steals the show. Boston celtic (this is set in neighbouring Lowell, MA.) is all about blood and the social straightjacket that is often imposed by kith and kin. Liberating oneself from inherited restrictions can be one of our toughest fights – Micky won the belt, but if he had only reached higher, he might have provided us with more than just the vicarious triumphalism of beating the bad guy. ~ John Campbell

BBFF 2011 MARCH 4-13

YOUR WORLD OF FILM in the heart of Byron Bay

Situated on Tavarua Island Fiji, this iconic surf resort directly accesses the famous surf breaks of Cloudbreak, Restaurants, Tavarua Rights, Kiddieland and it’s surrounding breaks.

Gala events BBFF’s red carpet will once again be rolled out for the opening night of the spectacular 2011 Byron Bay Film Festival. There is a sense of excitement and anticipation amongst the organisers and crew. With an Opening Night already sold out, 2011 is shaping up to be the biggest festival yet.

PHOTO: WINER

Special guests During BBFF’s Gala Nights the red carpeted entrance to the Byron Community Centre will be graced by the likes of film buffs, Byron Bay’s best dressed, media producers, film directors and Australian screen legend Jack Thompson, to name but a few. Thompson stars alongside fellow Aussie cinema legends Gary Sweet and Sigrid Thornton in the short film The Telegram Man which will screen as part of the program during the afternoon session on the 5th. Joining Thompson will be his film critic brother Peter Thompson, one of many judges for the wealth of films in this 10-day festival. Also making his grand debut on the last weekend of the festival is award-winning Film Director and much-loved Byron Bay Film Festival patron, Paul Cox. This is to be Cox’s first Film Festival appearance since recovering from cancer, an experience that is being documented by another local award-winning filmmaker, David Bradbury. Needless to say, BBFF organisers are very pleased that Paul is able to take part in this year’s festival.

The Gala Closing Party Although BBFF has screenings until Sunday the 13th we hold our final party on Saturday the 12th. This Gala event is preceded by our Young Australian Filmmaker session at 4.20pm where all tickets are just $6.50. This group of eight short films brings the cream of new Australian talent to the screen. Travelling from all over Australia, almost all of these young filmmakers will be present to showcase their films to the audience. With all of them

under the age of 25, it is a moment to appreciate the budding of these creative talents and growing film careers. Finishing off the day’s films is the evening session – The Wedding Party, an all-Australian sexy romantic comedy about the Thompson Family whose individual love lives range from deviant to delicious to downright desperate. Up to his eyeballs in debt, the youngest son Steve (Josh Lawson), agrees to marry Anna (Isabel Lucas), a beautiful Russian girl, for cash. When his plans for a secret registry affair are discovered by his family, Steve finds himself at the centre of the world’s most farcical wedding. The only problem is, Steve is in love with someone else. Book your ticket for this entertaining film and our sparkling Gala Party. There aren’t enough adjectives to describe this animated event! Other than it is an occasion to have fun, celebrate, eat fine cuisine courtesy of The Beautiful Feast, and reflect on 2011’s fabulous array of film. Opening Night sold out quickly, so make sure you don’t miss out – grab your tickets now online. With thirty-seven sessions full of great films and immense entertainment encompassing a wide array of genres, the BBFF organisers are delighted to be screening this full ten-day program offering each and every person a window into the wonderful world of cutting-edge independent film.

Australian premieres Australian films stand strong in the festival’s program with 72 Australian Features, Shorts, Documentaries, Animations, Music Videos and Experimental Films scheduled to screen. Over half of the Australian filmmakers are attending their screenings at the festival. The reputation of BBFF as a ‘Filmmakers’ Festival’ is a strong drawcard. BBFF’s Festival Director said, ‘Over 20 per cent of our audience last year identified themselves as filmmakers. Our focus is not just on creating a positive experience for filmmakers with films screening but for

all the filmmakers who attend, as we have numberous filmmaker-focused free events and networking opportunities’. Australian films having their World Premieres at the festival include: Punch Drunk, a short film directed by Sam Wark and produced by Leah Hallis. Live on Stage, directed by Young Australian Filmmaker nominee Ben Dickinson. A Colourful Day from Byron locals Chester Dent and Duncan James. Of Land and Bounty, a short film directed by Lucas Crandles (a Best Young Australian Filmmaker Nominee) and

produced by Tim Nash and Nick William. The Bleed, directed by Nathan Hunt (a Best Young Filmmaker Nominee) and produced by Nathan Dale and Nathan Hunt. The Confession of Father John Thomas, an animation by Byron filmmaker Elka Kerkhofs. Four Strokes of Luck, a documentary by Roland Stokes. El Mar Mi Alma, a surf film from Stephen Jones and Tatiana Andrea Velasco. There are far too many films to mention here. Be sure to check out trailers, film schedules and all the details at www. bbff.com.au. Also be sure to look through the full program that was inserted in last week’s Echo.

The Byron Shire Echo March 1, 2011 33

BBFF 2011 Free Events BBFF hosts a series of free events which benefit both filmmakers and film lovers. It is our hope that these events serve to build an appreciation of screen culture, new artistic media or a new skills base for those who attend.

Turning Point – at the Top Shop Turning Point is a photographic exhibition by Rusty Miller, showcasing a significant collection of his surf photos from the 1970s which includes many photos from Lennox/ Byron of the days in which Paul Witzig’s film Sea of Joy was being filmed: the people, the dogs, the old cars and the pure uncrowded atmosphere. The exhibition opens March 3rd at the Top Shop at 5:30pm until March 11th.

Serafinell by David Roupell is a musical and visual journey where the separate artwork images dissolve into each other and create a third magical image in the process. The Doors by Raimond de Weerd consists of numerous scenes from Film Noir genre movies and shows the viewer that this classic film genre relied on very simple means to create suspense, drama, anger and revelation through clever use of doors. Check our website for details of when these three films will screen.

Experimental Film Showcase As the digital divide diminishes and more of the world’s population gains access to technology, new versions of creative expression can be experimented with on screen. Throughout the festival in the evenings when the Filmmakers bar is open we will screen a selection of experimental films from around the world. The showcase includes the world premieres of three locally produced experimental films: Eastern Light Meditations directed by Sean O’Shea and produced by Tracey Anderssen. This collaborative work by three Byron Bay-based artists features musician Geoff Southward and surreal images of Byron Bay.

sound systems enhanced the visuals. Now, BBFF is delighted to introduce some 21st century innovations that follow the grand tradition of light and sound as complementary partners.

Tuesday, 8th March 9.30pm Outback and Beyond: A Live Australian Western is a new collaboration between Mike Cooper and Grayson Cooke. It is a meeting of cultural and musical traditions as much as a melange of digital and analogue media; to Mike’s soundtrack of deconstructed Blues, lap-steel guitar and processed electronics, Grayson performs a live re-mix of archival footage of the Australian outback, from titles from the 1920s to the 1950s held by the National Film and Sound Archive. The unique result is a live ‘Australian Western,’ a meditation on Australian iconography and mythography, the dusty, hard-bitten DNA of national identity.

Wednesday March 9, 10am Workshop: Navigating The Rapids Producer Gabrielle Dalton (Soundtrack to War, Rampage and The Miscreants of Taliwood) has worked on documentaries where the choice of decisions made all the difference, Gabrielle will share some of her own examples of how to deal with critical situations that may arise. She invites you to take out your paddle and open your mind to riding the opportunities for decision making that exist – day to day – while in production. In the end these decisions define the style and success of your film. So instead of seeing these ‘rapids’ as something to dread and resist, allow them to open you to the inventive and creative possibilities they afford.

Discussion Panel: Carpark Conversations: The Evolution of Surf Film

How has surf filmmaking changed since it emerged as its own film genre? And where is it heading to from here? From the early days of scratchy celluloid footage of waves, wax and babes, surf films have come a long way. Gone are the days when surf filmmaking was just about ‘living the dream’. The dream has become a reality, and it’s brought a whole lot of awareness along with it. This relaxed and insightful panel is chaired by film critic Peter Thompson and features Byron’s own surfing legends Rusty Miller and Dave (Rasta) Rastovich; along with First Love’s Claire Gorman and Clare Plueckhahn; Derek Hynd and Surfer Magazine’s editor-at-large Steve (Barlo) Barilotti (Wave of Compassion, Minds in the Water, 180 South, and the Emmy-winning Kokua).

Saturday March 12, 10.30am Workshop: Composing for Screen In this workshop presented by Screenworks with the support of APRA, Rafael May reveals what was involved in composing for the feature thriller The Reef. He will cover: understanding and working to a brief, working with producers and directors, working on genre films and inspirations in composing for screen. Rafael May is a multi-award-winning composer and creator of diverse soundtracks for film, fashion and commercials. He has composed music for a trilogy of feature thrillers in the last three years: Black Water, Road Train and The Reef (2010) with an orchestral terror score. To register your attendance email events@ screenworks.com.au or phone 02 6687 1599. The Reef screens on Friday March 11 at 10.15pm.

MARCH 4-13

Surf’s up! The 2011 Byron Bay International Film Festival keeps a strong focus on the Surf with a number of hot docs. Scintillating images, the rush of finding the perfect break, connecting with the oceans all feature in these highly visual and deeply entertaining stories. Some highlights include: Ocean Monk by Sanjay Rawal chronicles the inner and outer search of a group of monks who make their home in New York City. They discovered the beauty and power of the nearby surfing beaches and incorporated their love for the ocean into their search for enlightenment. Shot in HD, Ocean Monk explores the ideals which drive their life as well as the pounding winter surf which sustains them. The Still Point by Taki Bibelas is a film about waves, surf and the connection of all things. The curl of the wave is a mathematical form found everywhere in nature from the shape of the galaxy, to patterns in plants, to the double-helix spiral of our own DNA. This film goes deep, exploring our connection with water through the eyes of some of the world’s most legendary pioneer surfers. Ocean Monk and The Still Point have their Australian Premieres on Sunday March 6 at 1.30pm. Surfing and life in Israel and Gaza. God Went Surfing with the Devil from Alexander Klein looks at 50 days of an area filled with hate and war, where in the middle people are surfing.

Two best friends, Fabio and Nama, navigate their way between life in the slums and the surfing on their favourite beach. Rio Breaks’ Australian Premiere is on Wednesday 9th March at 7.30pm. BBFF2011 is proud to host the World Premiere of El Mar Mi Alma from Byron filmmakers Stephen Jones and Tatiana Velasco. With a long and diverse coastline, Chile is a country not only shaped by its geography; the sea occupies a mystical and poetic, conscious and unconscious place within the cultural fabric of the nation. El Mar Mi Alma is a visual tone poem, a blend of images and music consisting

primarily of cinematic surfing sequences intercut with coastal landscapes, local people and places, and the movements of the cast on a surfing journey through Chile. The film contains some political undercurrent and pays homage to the environmental campaign associated with this surfing tour; however, it ultimately paints a picture of Chile’s beauty and association with the sea, centred around the affectionate and intimate act of surfing. First Love from Claire Gorman is about love, friendship and following your dreams. Three passionate teenagers from Phillip Island travel to Hawaii – the first step on their journey to making surfing a career. El Mar Mi Alma and First Love will play at 7.30pm on Friday 11th March. BBFF is proud to present the panel: Carpark Conversations: The Evolution of Surf Film in a

Creating change through film This year’s festival has many films that touch on a theme that ‘one person, one idea or one movement can create change’. This theme manifests across a range of genres. From youthful animations like Dirtgirlworld to short docos like River Dog, there are messages to inspire all ages. Creating change emanates from passion. In the documentary Ciclovida, two subsistence farmers bicycle 10,000km across South America in order to save natural seeds and build support for the importance of natural farming versus large-scale agribusiness. El Ambulante is another South American documentary about simply living and living simply where a passionate filmmaker travels from village to village across Argentina, exchanging his filming skills for room and board and uniting the communities he visits. Umoja focuses on seriously abused Kenyan Samburu tribal women building a vibrant and flourishing ‘women only’ village in a country where women have little or no voice, let alone personal freedom.

Cultures of Resistance explores music and dance as weapons of peace. A worldwide uplifting feast of people committed to promoting positive change through art and creativity. These and many more films offer potent reminders of how important it is to live your life with passion and commitment.

WEDNESDAY 2

1. Mel Gibson was young once, and blazed up the screen as the road warrior in Mad Max 2 (GO!, Friday, 9.30pm). Mayhem rules. 2. More clever humour and lots of fun in The Incredibles (Prime, Saturday, 6.30pm), followed by the fictional version of the inconvenient truth, The Day After Tomorrow. 3. If you don’t mind a little blood on your collar, you’ll enjoy John Travolta and Samuel L Jackson in Pulp Fiction (GO!, Sunday, 9.30pm), one of Tarantino’s more palatable offerings. Harvey Keitel should list his services in our directory.

Charcuterie has been the big ‘new’ thing in this country over the last few years, having much to do with the change to laws governing liquor licences which saw the proliferation of small, Euro-style bars in big cities. It is not uncommon, now, to come across an atmospherically dark holein-the-wall in a Melbourne laneway from whose ceilings are suspended salamis and prosciuttos, smallgoods still occasionally referred to as ‘cold cuts’. The term charcuterie comes from the French, originating in the Latin ‘caro’ for flesh or meat, and ‘coctus’ for cooked. It was indeed the French who in the 15th century raised the Roman practice of curing meats to an art form. Most commonly referring to pork, it is the technique of salting, smoking or brining meats – and to this day the skills involved are highly regarded. The roots of charcuterie lie in the need to preserve meat so that it can be savoured slowly over the course of months, and its challenge is to do so in a flavoursome way while ensuring the meats are free of bacteria. Bacon, ham, sausage, confit and patĂŠs fall into the category – although these days what is offered in fashionable venues is more likely to be Spanish chorizos and jamon, or Italian salumi such as bresaola, pancetta, mortadella and speck. (The word salumi means Italian cured meat products – salami is one specific type.) Now, out of spick-and span premises at Billinudgel, is coming a range of charcuterie made by using traditional, authentic techniques by a small group of Italians. They call themselves Salumi Australia and they have only been operating for several months. Founder and director of the company is Massimo Scalas whom locals may remember from the restaurant at Byron Bay’s Hotel Great Northern where for many years he sent forth wonderful pizzas from the wood-fired oven, along with other Italian fare. His partners-in-crime are Michael Dlask, long-time collaborator of his in the hospitality industry, chefs Riccardo Trossero and Monica Trapani, and salumiere (smallgoods expert) Gimmi Avanzini. I drive out one morning, locating the factory with ease. Michael, unrecognisable in a white lab coat, waves me in. After our exchange of greetings he hands me my own white coat, a disposable hair net and

bootie-like shoe coverings, then wheels the new glamorous me into the first room. This, he says, is the processing room. Down the centre of an otherwise starkly bare, scrupulously pristine room is a long table at which Riccardo, Monica, Massimo and Gimmi are busily inserting lengths of meat into beef casings. The ripe stench of fatty flesh is almost more than I can bear; I am regretting my recently enjoyed coffee and muffin and decide to simply not inhale. Michael explains that it is lonza, back pork loin cured with salt, peppercorns and juniper berries, similar in taste and texture to prosciutto. The meat comes from Booyong, near Clunes. We move through into one of six drying rooms where the encased varieties of meat suspend in order, obviously, to dry out. It’s shock-dried, Michael tells me, so that the pH (acid) levels drop low enough to satisfy health requirements and to prevent bacteria build up. The smell is still too rich for me; I am still holding my breath, but Michael is guiding me now into the ageing room where suddenly I feel as if I could be in an Italian delicatessen, and where with relief I begin to breathe. Shelf after shelf of pancetta rolled and flat, cacciatorini, little wizened Sardinian sausages and, oh joy, guanciale, pork jowl, my absolute favourite of all the cured meats and indispensable for a true Salsa Amatriciana. At this point we are joined by Gimmi, cherub-faced expert in the art of smallgoods, whom Massimo lured from Italy’s Parma, whose ham – prosciutto – is considered among the best in the world. Gimmi has something to show me: a polished pointy object about four inches long. Into one of the dangling pancettas he inserts the pointy end, extracts it and studies it closely. Then he tells me it is the bone from a horse and by inserting it he can determine at precisely what stage of maturation the particular salume has arrived. It is a five-hundred-year-old tradition: I am completely enchanted. Salumi Australia are already supplying their products to high-end Sydney restaurants and about to hit Melbourne. It’s a tiny operation doing dazzling things in our own backyard. Their website is www.salumi.com. au.

Making local food easier to locate

BYRON BAY CONTINUED

Food retailers will find it easier to source and identify local produce thanks to an innovative business mentoring program underway in the Northern Rivers. The Source Identification Program, a key initiative of the Northern Rivers Food Links Project and coordinated by Regional Development Australia (RDA-NR), aims to increase the amount of local food available for sale to local communities and ensure that all food grown locally is clearly identified for consumer choice. The program is part of a suite of activities being undertaken through the Northern Rivers Food Links Project, a collaborative initiative of the seven Northern Rivers councils and Rous Water, focused on securing a sustainable food future for the region. The CEO of RDA-NR, Katrina Luckie, said it was essential that consumers had greater access to and understanding of local food. She said recent surveys of producers and retailers across the region confirmed that the Northern Rivers is a food mecca. ‘We surveyed more than 180 producers and retailers to get a snapshot of food production and sales in the region, barriers to supplying and stocking local food, and current methods for identifying locally produced food.’ Key findings from the research revealed: t /PSUIFSO 3JWFST JT IPNF UP NPSF UIBO types of food t .PSF UIBO QFS DFOU PG QSPEVDFST VTFE

The Byron Shire based 10 years Far North Coast representative Futsal team are proud as punch after returning as silver medallists in the Queensland State Futsal summer league competition. For three months they have toured southern Queensland and blasted, chipped or finessed a remarkable average of five goals into the back of the net in each of their 12 championship games. They have been playing together for a year now in Representative Football and Beach Soccer; however, most of them only started playing Futsal sixmonths ago. Their coach is men’s State and Australian youth representative Futsal player Tim Knight. ‘It’s a really fast, exciting and technical game and these boys just seem to “click” ,’

says Tim. ‘They have really improved their ball skills, tactics and game awareness through the summer and are thrashing teams like Brisbane and the Gold Coast week after week. ‘Marc Starrett has been brilliant in goals all season. Zac Sezer, Ethan Archer and Riley Buckland have been sensational on the flanks. Kurt Ruehe has totally controlled the defence while Jarrah Hall-Hart and Callum Wilson have found their mark as target strikers.’ While the very slick Sunshine Coast team took the main title, the local boys were close behind them to take the silver medal. They are so proud of their latest achievement and it was a fitting reward for so much hard work, skill and dedication.They are now in intense training for the Craig Foster Challenge Cup in Brisbane.

Sustainability should be forefront of rebuilds, says RICS After the devastation of the oods that have now ripped through Queensland, Victoria and parts of Tasmania, comes the time to re-examine how our structures are repaired and rebuilt, says the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). The once-in-a-generation event that occurred throughout Queensland does give an opportunity to rethink how we prepare for future ooding. ‘Sustainability is not just about mitigation, but also about adaptation. Now that we have seen what nature can bring we should think about how we can adapt our built environment to cope with future events,’ says Kaye Herald, Managing Director RICS Oceania. ‘It sometimes takes a major event to bring about change, even small adaptations can make a huge difference to how we protect our homes and ofďŹ ces. ‘Around the world RICS has seen how events like oods, hurricanes, blizzards and other natural disasters have altered the built environment.’ Home owners could make some

minor changes to make their homes more ood resilient: s RAISING GAS OR ELECTRIC INTAKES piping cabling and electric socket to above likely ood limits (about one metre); s MINIMISING THE USE OF TIMBER or chipboard in kitchens and bathrooms; and s USING WATER RESISTANT l NISHES SUCH as tiles over concrete oors. ‘It would greatly assist in the rebuild and repair of homes affected by ooding if governments and councils looked at how they could ďŹ nancially assist home owners in making some of these small, but ultimately important, changes,’ says John Goddard, chairman of RICS Oceania’s Sustainable Steering Group. ‘Property owners with damaged property should think and plan carefully to build properties with structures that are more resistant to ood damage. They should be careful not to take the easy and expedient way out and rebuild a building similar to the one that has just been damaged. They should take time to review <echowebsection=Classifieds>

OK, we’re getting a carbon tax (this week anyway) and power prices are going to rise more. This is an inevitable consequence of legislating to cope with the impact of global warming.

Further to our cane toad Backlash last week, a reader says, ‘I am more than a little concerned that native frog tadpoles could be destroyed as a result of your item. Another PDF on the BSC website (Life cycle of the cane toad PDF) points out that cane toad tadpoles are more or less identical to those of native frogs.

This is true for both your large green tree frog and the tiny ones also.’

What goes on out there in the forest is anybody’s guess. I send these grisly photos in the hope you might print one as a message to large dog owners to be more responsible and keep their bloody dogs inside at night. Better still, get rid of them.’

The NSW Farmers Association has noted the arrival of Chinese apples – the first foreign apple imports since 1921. Naturally the association is urging Australians to buy local varieties.

So much for the wild Australian going bush.
