Empty mansions are ‘on-shore tax havens’

Harmony celebrated

Echo Forum hears need for tax reform and local action on affordable housing Ray Moynihan

Isabelle and Fleur from Mullumbimby St John’s primary school get along nicely, unlike some politicians (see below). ‘Harmony Day is celebrated on March 21 every year,’ school principal, Mr Tim Bleakley said. ‘Our students will learn that not only do they share common ground with other cultures, but also that our differences make Australia a special place. The most important lesson they will learn today is that in Australia, everyone belongs.’ Photo supplied

Justine Elliot and Don Page argue over failed health funding in Byron Shire Hans Lovejoy

Federal Labor’s Justine Elliot has hit out at state MP Don Page and asked to explain what policies he can deliver on health services. ‘With only a week to go until the State election, many locals have raised with me concerns that Don Page and Barry O’Farrell have failed to outline their specific commitments for our local hospitals. ‘I call upon Don Page to detail what funding commitments he has secured for the North Coast. ‘In particular, will he commit funding for the new Ewingsdale hospital? ‘Also, what funding has he secured for Byron and Mullumbimby hospitals?

‘On top of their lack of policies, the biggest threat is that Don Page’s leader Barry O’Farrell will renege on the health agreement between the federal government and the Ssates. ‘This landmark agreement will provide $16.4 billion in new funding for hospitals and healthcare across the nation. ‘Don Page needs to come clean and tell us what his party intends to do.’

$1m in planning needed In response, Mr Page told The Echo, ‘The applications for funding are made by the North Coast Area Health Service (NCAHS). ‘The NCAHS has to have detailed planning in place so that the Central

Australia’s leading advocate for affordable housing, Professor Julian Disney, called for major changes to the way houses are taxed at a forum in Byron last week attended by over 200 people. Professor Disney told the forum, ‘excessively generous’ tax concessions meant houses were increasingly seen as speculative investments rather than places to live, with very expensive mansions becoming ‘on-shore tax havens’ which sucked resources away from more productive investments. He called for changes to the negative gearing concessions for investment properties, reform to land or capital gains taxes for very high-cost houses, and a reduction in stamp duty, arguing the current system reinforced inherited inequality creating a ‘huge divide’ between those who’ve been lucky with housing and those who haven’t. The forum also heard firsthand experiences of the affordability crisis, including from Blackbirds singer Renee Simone, who was forced to leave the insecurity of Byron’s rental market

to find an affordable property close to Lismore. ‘I didn’t want my child growing up in a garage,’ she told The Echo. Chair of the National Housing Affordability Summit, Professor Disney urged local councils to create not-for-profit companies to work with developers to build genuinely affordable housing, which could offer people the security of long-term rental leases, virtually unheard of in Australia, though extremely common in Europe. Also at the forum Byron Community Centre general manager Paul Spooner launched a new campaign called ‘One Year, One House’ which aims to garner community support to build at least one affordable house in Byron in the coming twelve months. Another group, Transition Byron, said they were actively seeking possible locations and developing plans for housing that was both affordable and sustainable. Ray Moynihan chaired The Echo’s forum, and Mandy Nolan will host the next one: ‘Are we failing our kids?’, April 28. See more on the topic on page 12

Byron Shire Hospital can be eligible for funding under the new federal/ state arrangements. ‘Accordingly, the Coalition has committed to $1m planning money needed to enable this project to proceed. ‘The Coalition will provide 1,500 extra beds in the health system and an extra 2475 nurses which will help all hospitals including Mullumbimby and Byron Bay. ‘The redevelopment of Byron Bay Hospital was done under the last Coalition government. ‘Justine Elliot is the last person who should be talking about health in Byron Shire – neither state Labor nor Professor Julian Disney is urging councils to create not-for-profit companies federal Labor have done anything to to work with developers to build genuinely affordable housing. Such practice is common in Europe, he says. Photo Eve Jeffery assist with hospitals in Byron Shire.’

The annual Kites and Bikes Festival livens up Brunswick Heads this Sunday March 27. If you don’t have a kite to fly, you can make and decorate one at the Housie Shed from 9am to noon, and then join in the kite flying in the park with Australian Kite Fighting Champions, Mick Ayo and Grant Tozer. At 12.30pm the Hotel Brunswick Rokkaku Kite Challenge

will see business and community teams trying to break their opponents’ kite strings for the honour of being the last kite flying in the air. Then everyone heads to the beach or the Essential Energy Fly In. The Terrace will be closed to cars and given over to bikes, scooters and skateboards, with free organised bike activities sponsored by

the local bike shops. Bring along your decorated bikes, scooters and strollers to the Bike Parade, or decorate them in the morning at the Milli Fairy Tent. Expressive Bikes is the action highlight with extreme stunt demos at The Terrace throughout at 12am, 1pm, 2pm and 3pm. Entertainment on the day includes Spaghetti Circus and

stilt walkers, Jumping Castle and Samba Blisstas. The community group fundraisers include the Lucky Duck Race which commences at 3pm, the Kites and Bikes raffle, a Lucky Kite Dip and community BBQs. Ducks and raffle tickets can be purchased now from the Visitor Centre or from the Information Tent or Rotary BBQ on the day. Photo by David Young

Banging a differently made drum Story & photo Eve Jeffery

Shonosuke Okura, pictured, is one of Japan’s national treasures – revered internationally for his masterful drumming performances. Lesser known is Mr Okura’s dedication to ecology, the environment, his deep spiritual practice and astute business acumen. Okura san recently visited Mullumbimby last week to solidify a partnership with local ‘ecopreneur’ Alf Wheeler whom he met in Tokyo last year. The two men with a small group of other like-minded people plan to market Zeoform, a material made from recycled paper and water which can replace depleting natural resources such as wood, petro-based plastics, toxic composites and other non-sustainable materials. Using a patented process

that mimics how nature builds plants and trees, Zeoform can turn waste paper pulp into a hard, durable substance that can be moulded into virtually any object of any size or shape. Just about anything you currently own made of wood, plastic, fibreglass, metal or a combination of these, can probably be moulded from Zeoform, claims Mr Wheeler. He says computer, tablet and smart-phone cases, flooring and interior panels for homes, offices, cars and airlines, furniture and homewares, jewellery, toys, musical instruments and endless other applications are perfect for this material. The product is also being produced as a handcraft moulding material for children of all ages. After the official part of his Mullumbimby visit was over, Okura san played a drum, handed down through 15 gen- erations of his family, to a small audience in Wilsons Creek, before boarding a plane to Japan on Friday morning, March 10. Mr Wheeler said that Okura san was still in transit when the earthquake and subsequent tsunami hit the Japanese coastline.

DAY 277 OF THE WOOLWORTHS OCCUPATION

Well the fencing has gone back up & once again our access has been restricted. Woolworths’ representatives assure us that the road works will be finished by May. But hey, they told us initially we would only have three months of interruption to our business, so why should we start believing what they say now? We’d like to take the opportunity to thank our loyal customers for being so patient & tolerant while this development drags on & on. We’re open 7 days a week for breakfast & lunch from 8 am every morning come rain or shine. Great Coffee, Food & Music served up daily! 55 Station Street Mullumbimby 6684 4036 www.poincianacafe.com

‘Okura san got redirected to Guam,’ he said. ‘He is OK. ‘As are all my friends and contacts in Japan. And all their families as far as I can tell.’ For information about EcoMache, visit the website www. ecomache.com or contact Alf on 6684 4553.

Breakfast of champions with Kieren and Lisa Mae WORLD’S BEST MENS BRANDS Victoria Cosford

Kieren Perkins OAM says he was just an average swimmer at primary school. Addressing about 70 people at a Byron United breakfast in the Bay recently, the Olympic medallist was keen to dispel myths that people are successful from birth. ‘My experience is the opposite,’ he told the crowd. ‘Mostly the very talented people in life don’t succeed. If you’re very very talented it’s easy. You don’t have to push through challenges and drive yourself. When I started I wasn’t very good.’ Having retired from swimming in 2000, Kieren is now Head of Business Development and Acquisition for NAB Private Wealth in Queensland, and throughout his address he spoke about the bearing his swimming career had had on his current role and his whole life. He said that despite having tried out everything in his youth and being undistinguished at

swimming, the Friday night swimming program at his school, ‘kind of lit a fire in me.’ Watching Glen Houseman break the world record in the 1500 metres race in Adelaide was another ‘seminal moment’.

Byron Naturally face unveiled The breakfast was also the opportunity for Byron United President Sevegne Newton to unveil the ‘face’ of Byron in its current Byron Naturally tourism television campaign. Bangalow-based Lisa Mae Riley, 28, was selected from over 100 applicants. ‘We narrowed it down to fourteen,’ said Sevegne, ‘but this young woman just stood out as someone who represented beauty on the inside as well as on the outside.’ Lisa Mae told the crowd that it was wonderful to be part of the whole campaign, and thanked Sevegne for her guidance and wisdom.

Greens’ Simon Richardson Q&A Hans Lovejoy Do you agree a rail study is needed before major works are undertaken?

I agree that we need to review the previous reports… but what is needed is a commitment to return to the north coast a functioning public transport system. We live in a region of population growth and tourism; the return of the rail provides a basic need for access to transport, options for freight transporting and tourism options as well as Freerange fowl farmer, Matthew Jamieson, and Simon meeting the general needs of Richardson at the Mullum Farmer’s Market.

aged in a sustainable way (eg within the Tuckean system), compensating the farmer, and returning it back to its natural wetland state. Other initiatives would be far less expensive, such as planting natives, rather than weeds, along river and banks, changing our current farming choices of cane and cattle with ones which are more floodplain friendly or putting grazing animals such as sheep and goats onto the floodplain where they can eat much of the crop trash which currently rots and adds to the fish kill problem. We have to accept that to fix some things that have been broken for a century and continue to damage the land, water, air or society, some costs will have to occur. There are also huge gains for farmers to become more environmentally productive, and sustainable farming is about ensuring food security and maintaining our biodiversity and waterway protection. Without a resilient natural environment the whole community suffers. Currently there is little focus on the costs of environmental degradation. The Greens believe we need to consider the long-term implications of land use.

Independent Kolbe: policies Restore confidence in politics: Richardson to MP Page for a healthy democracy Independent candidate for Ballina, Karin Kolbe, said last week that if she were elected she would implement a policy package called ‘Our Voice’, a series of reforms ‘to give voters a better say on issues affecting our community.’ The Our Voice package includes abolishing Part 3A of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act to return planning powers to local governments; amending Part 4 of the Liquor Act so that the safety of communities and the concerns of residents are given greater weight in the assessment of liquor licence

applications; and making sure councils are fully funded for any additional responsibilities handed to them by state governments. ‘I strongly support giving local government recognition in the Australian Constitution so that federal funding does not have to be filtered through the state government,’ Ms Kolbe said. The package also proposes reforming political donations legislation to cap individual donations to $1,000 and to ban donations from the alcohol industry and those involved with products that cause harm.

Greens candidate Simon Richardson has challenged Don Page to restore confidence in NSW politics and sign up to the Greens’ sixpoint plan. The Greens’ Plan for Open and Accountable Government is: 1. Introduce a 12-month cooling off period to stop recently retired ministers and senior public servants taking up employment in the private sector in industries related to their public roles. 2. Increase the number of days the legislative council sits to at least 65 days every year. 3. Expand the pecuniary interest disclosure requirements to require MPs to disclose financial interests

of spouses and next of kin. 4. Mandate that all contracts and related documents between the government and the private sector be publicly available on the internet on the date of signing the contract. 5. Expand lobbyists register to include lobbying by former ministers, parliamentary secretaries and senior ministerial staff. 6. Ban political donations from corporations and require parties to forward details of donations received to the State Electoral Office (SEO) within two weeks of receipt for publication.

Local News EnviTE helps landowners control lantana and protect habitat biodiversity It is hot, sticky and unpleasant work but Don Durrant, local landholder, has no complaints as he works side-by-side with EnviTE Environment professional bush regenerators to tackle lantana. His property, near Afterlee, is one of three high conservation value Richmond Valley sites selected for the biodiversity threat mitigation project funded by the Northern Rivers Catchment Management Authority. ‘I’m always on the lookout for assistance to help restore my property. This funding has

allowed me to address areas that I wouldn’t have been able to get to under my own steam,’ said Don Durrant, Afterlee property owner and partner in the fight against lantana. ‘Now it will be easier to keep on top of the weeds and I’m very interested to see how the forest responds.’ EnviTE Environment in partnership with local landholders and land managers is implementing strategic control of lantana in high conservation value vegetation sites to improve connectivity, habi-

Business bottom line Supporting local business

Lightforce moves shop From a tiny business in 1992, which dealt with the then littleknown Mac computers, Byron Bay-based Lightforce has grown in leaps and bounds. They have just opened their spanking new showroom in Centennial Circuit, complete with solar power, LED lighting and state-of-the-art facilities and equipment. In the beginning, the staff of two and a half steadily grew, and now there are twelve on board with a combined experience of 180 years. They have grown so much that a larger premises was the only option. The new showroom means they can hold classes, tuition and demo evenings while continuing to uphold their high level of service and personal relationships with their many clients. The new shop address is Unit 3, 84 Centennial Circuit, Byron Bay.

Coffee Company awards rack up Byron Bay Coffee Company has won another two awards of excellence for their latest product at the recent Sydney Royal Fine Food Show. In the Cheese and Dairy Competition they won a Silver for their dark chocolate-coated macadamia nuts and a Silver for their milk-coated macadamia nuts – bringing their award tally to a grand total of 77. According to co-owner Annie Ivancich, this makes them the most awarded coffee company in Australia. The macadamia nuts are sourced from local awardwinning plantation, Plantation Lorna, while the chocolate is high quality couverture.

Psychology and psychotherapy clinic turns two Sara Goldie’s Bangalow-based business in clinical psychology and psychotherapy has just turned two. Sara relocated from Perth with her family several years ago, and after working alongside other practitioners struck out on her own. She largely deals with mental health concerns, personal and life issues, and personal development and awareness – and offers Medicare rebates, making psychotherapy more accessible. She feels ‘blessed’ to be working and living in such a supportive community. The practice is at Suite 4, 20 Byron Street, Bangalow.

Lazybones opens in Bangalow In November 2010 Lazybones opened a second store in Bangalow, upstairs above Summerland Credit Union. For over a decade this local business has been designing vintageinspired sleepwear, clothes and homewares, endeavouring where possible to use environmentally friendly natural fibres and processes. Co-owner Natalie Holt says that the business, which has a third store in Sydney’s Paddington and is stocked in 250 stores worldwide, is growing exponentially every year. They have also launched a range of bamboo jersey slips called ‘Undress’, while their vintage-inspired dresses remain the cornerstone of the business.

Insurance groups merge Eagle Insurance officially merged with Australian Insurance Services (AIS) NSW in July 2010, but only now have rebranded the entire company as Eagle Insurance Brokers. They provide a wide range of services between the mid north coast and northern NSW, and according to co-director Matt Denehy, plan to fill the gap existing between Byron Bay and South Tweed in the not too distant future. Matt has been involved in the Brunswick Chamber of Commerce since 2000 and was instrumental in its sponsoring of the town’s Visitor Centre.

with the local artistic community and John’s generosity is much appreciated.’ John Dahlsen said, ‘The central concerns of my work are with contemporary art practice and working with found objects, carefully selected and handpicked by myself from along the Australian coastline. ‘The unabated dumping of tonnes of plastics is expressed in my assemblages, paintings, sculptures, prints and installations. These plastics, as I sort them, take on an indefinable beauty, which fascinates me.’

‘Doubt’ in Byron Victoria Cosford

Following their hit show ‘Cabaret’ last year, Byron Bay Theatre Company (BBTC) will be presenting the play ‘Doubt’ in April. This will be their first production since they were made resident theatre company of the Byron Community Centre, where the performances will take place. Director Anatoly Frusin told The Echo that ‘Doubt’, written by John Patrick Shanley then made into an Oscar-winning film starring Mery Streep, was an amazing piece of writing. ‘It’s short and punchy and it’s blowing me away,’ he said, ‘how deep it is and how funny it is. And what a thriller!’ He said that the writer doesn’t call it a play but a parable. ‘He wrote it as a parable for our modern times. We want certainty and solutions and to know what’s

right and wrong – but it’s certainty that’s what is wrong. Doubt means the possibility of change, an active emotion as opposed to certainty which is passive, static.’ Veteran BBTC actors Avikal and Linda Rutledge are joined by newcomer Anna Higgins and Tanya Smith in the production. Anatoly said that while it is a one-act play, the writer has said that Act Two happens in the foyer when the play is over and when the audience discusses it to work it out. ‘The play’s called ‘Doubt’ and that’s the feeling you have to leave the audience with,’ he told The Echo. ‘Doubt’ plays at the Byron Community Centre on April 8, 9, 14, 15 and 16 at 7.30pm and on April 10 and 17 at 5pm. Tickets are available from the Centre or online at www. byroncentre .com.au.

A handful of Bangalow kids have been raising money for a park in the town recently, and the latest effort saw a successful day at the Bangaolw markets. Raffle ticket and t-shirt sales raised $895, according to Lyle Le Sueur, from the Bangalow Progress Association. ‘Since 1996, a skatepark has

been a longtime dream for the children of Bangalow,’ says Mr Le Sueur. ‘There is fresh optimism that we are going to be able to make it happen this time, as we have had a lot of positive support from the Council, the community and Greens’ councillor Tom Tabart and the Mayor Jan Barham.’

Music Brokership showcase Celebrate Seniors Week Arts Northern Rivers has announced the six local music acts selected for its Music Brokership Program. The Round Mountain Girls, The Lucky Wonders, Mick McHugh, Susanna Carman, Yeshe and Dan Hannaford, will all benefit from a series of development workshops, oneto-one business advice and the

opportunity to present their work to key music industry representatives at an upcoming Northern Rivers Music Showcase event to be held at Byron Bay Community Centre on March 23. Entry is $15. A number of high profile industry personnel are being flown in from around the country to see the six acts.

‘Live Life’ is the theme of NSW Seniors Week (March 21-27), which is being celebrated 26 events throughout Byron Shire. ‘Seniors Week is a small way the community can say “thank you� and a great opportunity for older residents to try new activities and meet new people,’ said Byron Shire Mayor Jan Barham.

Activities during the week include computer classes, zumba, tours of Byron Lighthouse, morning melodies and live entertainment at Ocean Shores Country Club, wood working, barefoot bowls, yoga, quilting and morning tea at Bangalow Heritage House Museum.

Author Steve Strong believes to have rediscovered a hidden history about Aboriginal people. To support his evidence, he is taking a roadshow around North Coast halls to demonstrate that Aboriginal people sailed to, and settled in, America over 50,000 years ago. He says they visited many other places as well, including Egypt, Japan, Africa and India. ‘We have discovered evidence that rewrites the history of Australia and the world,’ he says. ‘For example, Aboriginal people were the first Homo sapiens, and evolved before the sapiens of Africa. The claims have the support of and is in consultation with Elders, claims Strong. ‘Our aim is to prove through scientific fact that which the Elders insist is true. Mr Strong has authored three books related to the topic: Constructing A New World Map, Mary Magdalene Dreaming and Forgotten Origins. All are published by an American publisher.

‘We have assembled facts about archaeological finds, and also early contact accounts, genetics, serpent myths, Dreaming stories, Amerindian myths and parallels in religious texts into one coherent theory. ‘Unlike the authorities in one field who are limited in their speciality, we draw all the disciplines together and attempt to resolve the confusion. ‘Our claim is supported by genes, mitochondria DNA, blood, and many experts that say Aboriginal people set sail from Australia – not to Australia – 50,000 years ago.’ This is new and confronting information about the oldest existing race on the planet, he claims, and demonstrates the depth of their intellectual understandings regarding creation and culture. ‘To some, these relatively new discoveries will challenge old beliefs regarding the ancient tribes of what is now known as Australia – to others it will ring old bells.’

Some of the the proceeds from the roadshow will go into a mentor program for high school children, according to Strong. ‘It was funded twice, but ran out of money.’ Strong says children at Mullumbimby High School were taught history and knowledge by an Aboriginal elder, and classes included ceremony and spiritual solutions and guidance to modern-day problems. ‘Principal Ian Graham is asking when we are coming back,’ he added. Organisers say the night will include a smoking and cleansing ceremony, some song and dance, followed by a slide presentation and information sessions postulating these relatively new theories. Mullumbimby Old Drill Hall, Friday March 25, Bangalow A&I Hall, Sunday March 27, The Channon Hall, Friday April 1 and Ewingsdale Hall, Byron Bay Sunday April 3. All start from 7pm.

State Labor’s development plans of turning public parkland into state-run upmarket tourist resorts would be scrapped by the Coalition, says Member for Ballina and National Party candidate Don Page. He visited Brunswick Heads on Friday to talk to members of the Brunswick Terrace Residents Action Group on the subject. Mr Page said that over the last few months he had been contacted by many concerned residents of Brunswick Heads, who were appalled at plans by the NSW Government to turn much of the town’s riverside parkland into three large-scale private tourist developments. Residents say these developments would deny access to

parkland and foreshore areas. Brunswick resident of 80 years, D’Arcy O’Meara, told Mr Page of his disbelief that a state government could ‘steal a town’s best public parkland and hand it over to a fee-paying few.’ Mr Page assured the gathering, ‘I was closely involved in formulating the NSW Coastal Policy 20 years ago that prevented high rise and guaranteed public access to the beach and publicly owned land around our waterways. ‘I cannot support any measure that denies public access to our public foreshores, nor can I support the use of the state’s compulsory acquisition powers to acquire Council-owned land to facilitate inappropriate development which is opposed

by the Council and the community.’ Mr Page said he was committed to developing and maintaining suitable and appropriate affordable housing schemes that will ease the pressure in many of our coastal communities. ‘There is already a shortage of affordable housing in this and other areas so it makes little sense to me to reduce the amount of affordable housing with developments such as these.’ Mr Page added the Coalitions will to do away with the controversial Part 3A legislation which has been used by the state government to override the decisions of local councils and local communities.

Tiger snake hospitalises Steve Berriman massive hives, his breathing becoming laboured. ‘He had a severe reaction to it,’ Lorelei said. After infusions of adrenalin and continuous blood checks he was then transferred to ICU at Robina. ‘He had to be continuously monitored,’ Lorelei said. ‘Poor bugger, it was horrible. ‘He just had a triple bypass two years ago and they said if he hadn’t had that his heart might not have coped.’ Lorelei said that he was recovering now, ‘and doing really well.’ She stressed the importance of leaving the bite alone in order that it can be swabbed and quickly identified. ‘Wrap the bite up firmly – not too tight – and make the bandage cover a large area. Then get help.’

Victoria Cosford

Steve Berriman thought a cat had bitten him. Heading upstairs to bed around 10pm recently at his home at Mullum Creek, he felt a sharp sensation in his foot, then screamed out to his wife. According to his daughter Lorelei he then started to sweat profusely and turn pale, while his wife’s attempts at getting him to walk failed completely. After 35 years at the same address, this was the first time Steve had been bitten by a snake – and a tiger snake at that. His wife called the ambulance and was instructed to immobilise him from toe to hip with bandages. ‘Dad said he instantly felt better,’ Lorelei told The Echo. As Mullumbimby Hospital

lacked the necessary anti-venom (antivene), Steve had to be taken to South Tweed and it was during the journey that he started to vomit violently. ‘This was about one and a half hours after he had been

bitten,’ Lorelei said. ‘That’s when they knew he’d been poisoned.’ At the hospital they proceeded with the antivene, known for its dangerous sideeffects, and within minutes Steve started breaking out in

Which leaves tougher law enforcement with more police; Abbott suggests about 100 more. And presumably more imprisonment and harsher penalties, with no prospect of long-term improvement. Abbot may indeed be well-intentioned, but remember what they said about the road to hell. nd another area where good intentions may not be enough is Libya. NATO has finally acted, but there is every chance it will be both too little and too late. If the world had followed Kevin Rudd’s advice and implemented a no-fly zone at the start, when the rebels were on the surge and before Muhammar Gaddafi could call in his mercenaries, there is every chance he and his sons would now be sunning themselves in a tax haven and a new government would be engaged in the task.

W

hich brings us, reluctantly, to the New South Wales state election. Obviously it’s time – long past time – for a change of government. After ten years or so any government is past its use-by date. Most of its best and brightest are long gone, and their places taken by cronies, apparatchiks and time servers with no inclination for reform or anything else except retaining the spoils of office. It is, as the ICAC used to say in the days when it was prepared to tackle the hard issues, a climate conducive to corruption, and with the endless opportunities available in the state sphere it is a rare administration that can emerge without a spot or

two of melanoma. Defeat is not only inevitable, but proper. However, total rout presents its own problems. Even the prospect of a single term in opposition is enough to deter many survivors, who suddenly decide to spend more time with their families. After a drubbing of the kind that awaits Labor’s troops on Saturday and the resignations that are bound to follow, the caucus will not only be very few, but also very raw. It will be an opposition in name only, which will be set against a super-sized government of untried and largely unknown ministers, few of whom have displayed any conspicuous talent for politics, or anything else for that matter. Behind them will be the public service, a large number of whose senior members have become welded on to the present government and its dodgy culture; and they can’t all be sacked because there is simply no-one available to take their places. They will be illequipped to tackle an ambitious program of dynamic reform, but fortunately this will not matter, because the incoming government won’t have one. Indeed, it appears to have no serious program at all, except to get its bums on the seats to the right of the speaker. So the change will come, but it is highly unlikely that it will achieve anything significant; most of the long-suffering citizens of New South Wales will notice no real difference. For the real rulers of the state – the Road Transport Authority and the development lobby – it will be business as usual and the rest of us will just have to lie back and pretend to enjoy it. As we have since the days of the Rum Corps. Anyone for a drink?

Letters

Last thoughts on the state election Though parts of last week’s editorial struck some true notes, one crucial aspect of the prognosis of the election was left out. Yes, it is likely, yet not guaranteed, that Don Page will win the set of Ballina. I will of course, be trying to not let that happen. When considering the election result, not one but two important questions need addressing – who wins and by how much? If Don Page and the Nationals maintain their 14 per cent buffer, we can expect to be ignored by the Liberals in Sydney. Remember, they are the actual masters in the Coalition; they simply throw the Nationals a bone occasionally to keep them loyal, generally in the form of a highway upgrade or train line to new coal mines. Launching the Liberals transport policy, the Libs did not even mention the train line up here. It would be a tremendous and powerful moment if the Greens win this seat and hold the balance of the Upper

House. If that does not occur, the next best outcome would be that Don Page and the Nationals, and therefore the Liberals, just fall over the line. That would make us a marginal seat and therefore, we will get a lot of attention, money, and (though dragged kicking and screaming) the Libs may put a light rail and train service back on our tracks. We may get support for affordable housing, we may get dental care support. When the Liberals cannot afford to ignore us, this whole area will benefit. If you think Don Page is a good bloke but think the Nationals are dinosaurs, vote Greens and if Don Page wins, he will be given a stronger voice to be heard in Sydney.

The list reads almost identical to that claimed against the Woods family, and also to the tenants who rented the house prior to us! The sense of injustice is palpable. Despite three Tenancy Tribunal hearings in Lismore, all my invoices, references and counter-claims, we still lost over $1,500 in bond to the landlady, as did the previous tenants and possibly others before them. Is there any way to defend against this kind of behaviour? We’re talking a lot about affordable housing here in Byron – how long can honest people keep bearing the brunt of this? Good luck to the Woodses.

Q

Regarding the ‘Worst sharks aren’t in the water’ letter from the Woods Family in last week’s edition, I feel compelled to add my experiences while renting the exact same property in the year prior to the Woods. The landlady also forced us to vacate prior to the end of our lease. I returned home one day to find her in the house vacuuming and clearing up without our knowledge or permission! Although we had spent many days cleaning, had the carpets professionally steamcleaned, as well as having excellent references from the letting real estate agent here in Byron, the landlady accused us of leaving the house in deplorable condition, with stained carpets, lawns and gardens atrocious (despite my invoice from the tradesman who had

Simon Richardson

Federal Q Don

Page is on the record as saying that he favours the release of more land in West Byron as the solution to affordable housing. How many times I have heard that refrain and

how many times I have heard developers using affordable housing as an excuse to to jam as many lots into a given space as possible! Now, Don, there are lots of rural landowners who’d like to chop off a bit of land and increase the supply of building blocks, but we never hear chaps like you advocating a change in the law, do we. Could that be because that land is owned by individuals and the profits would not go to developers? Meaning less contributions to political parties? How do you feel about developers donating to political parties, Don? Just as well you have a tame local press, isn’t it. Greens candidate Simon Richardson hasn’t earned his spurs and says silly things sometimes, but at least he’s identifiably human and shows promise. I’ll be voting for him on the premise that Don Page takes us for granted, which can’t be a good thing. Fast Buck$

Don Page still a National? His ad in last week’s Echo did not carry their logo – a little disingenuous to say the least. I suppose I would want to distance myself too from that party but is Don really that embarrassed or is it a nasty trick? I think this is deception at its best – target new voters in the area with words like ‘sustainable’, ‘protect our environment’ and ‘renewable energy’. Is this a joke? If and when the coalition takes control of NSW they will do everything but! Don might be a friendly guy but remember he is a National through and through. If he really believed his words he would run as Independent. Simon Richardson seems to be proud to run for the Greens – maybe Don really wants to change teams and move into the 21st century.

practical solutions. Don Page’s body language suggested that becoming a champion for affordable housing in his electorate was furthest from his mind. Ian Cohen made no contribution, safe knowing he is a voice in the wilderness and his parliamentary superannuation and entitlements were in place. And from her first statement, our Mayor made it clear she would not accept accusations Council was at fault for the lack of affordable housing. After all, she said, we have had an Affordable Housing Strategy since 2008. (Or was it 1998?) Three years or 13 doesn’t really matter as nothing has been done to alleviate a problem acknowledged on Wednesday as threatening the Shire’s social and economic sustainability. The unstated elephant in the room was, of course, housing supply. It was very briefly alluded to in respect to some 1(d) Investigation land in Suffolk Park that could have been rezoned for an affordable housing development. There is more of this land in Suffolk Park. And let’s not forget West Byron, other areas of the Shire and Council-owned sites noted by Judith Stubbs as having development potential. It’s about time the Mayor and Council admitted its mea maxima culpa (most grievous fault), set aside the rhetoric and buck-passing, and actually did something. The problem won’t disappear and relying just on market forces is not an answer. Fear the consequences of inaction. The future of your community, and your children and

grandchildren, is at stake.

I was the 80 year old pensioner who introduced himself to the forum to speak on an issue that has divided our community and caused unnecessary money to be spent to defend our rights. Our MO was designed to facilitate affordable housing for half the members, who were ‘sponsored’ by the other half who had the cash to purchase the land. MOs never seem to be flush with money and we are no different, but we have made substantial structural and environmental improvements regardless. When money concerns overrun human concerns it is likely to be those ‘sponsored’ people who are at risk, and who may lose their spot. After all, it is now worth so much more on the open market, and who can’t do with a good splash of cash in the bank? To find some land, have a vision, set out a plan, spend thousands of hours to make an MO possible is more than most would want to tackle! Then to be usurped, and watch the ‘sponsored’ be put in jeopardy, is heart-breaking. I believe in affordable housing and in the role MOs can play in providing quality lowcost housing in rural areas. So, even though I will still be living in my van this winter, whereas I might have been snug in a newly built house, I will very much be hoping for humans to be considered above money – oh and for a mild winter.

Now, on the one hand, I hope that this terrible painful disaster unfolding in Japan will again pour cold water (sorry I couldn’t resist!) on the resurgence of nuclear-power enthusiasms. However I fear that the Chinese, with the newer, graphite pebble-bed reactor design, will assure their populace that their technology is not prone to the same mistakes. Same old story of ‘ours are safe’. (Their reactors are cooled with helium instead of water and are therefore claimed to be much more stable. It does not, however, magically wave away the waste-disposal problems, the hassle of decommissioning reactors, the harmful effects of radiation emissions, nor the dangers of proliferation.)

increase Bangalow’s housing stock by almost a quarter, adding significant pressure on the township’s existing infrastructure. The meeting questioned the overall quality and focus of the DCP when it was alleged that over a third of its content was copied and pasted from a DCP for another area in another shire. Evidence was presented by a number of participants that the Bangalow Urban Release Area’s DCP contained many phrases, planning requirements and objectives copied directly word for word from the DCP for Skennars Ridge in

Ballina Shire. By using so much material referring to Skennars Ridge the DCP does nothing to acknowledge the special heritage features of Bangalow and the sensitivity with which new areas must be added to the existing townscape. Bangalow deserves better, more focused attention from our council, its planners and its consultants. I encourage Bangalow residents, and anyone with an interest in Bangalow, to view the Plan and write to Council, expressing their views. Submissions will be received until 4pm on March 30.

Hamas horror It’s difficult to take Gareth Smith seriously (Letters, March 15). The topic on the table is the Libyan Army’s onslaught against Libyan rebels, yet he manages to leap from that to a gratuitous swipe against Israel,

compounded by a litany of unfounded allegations. The reality – from which Mr Smith steadfastly averts his gaze – is that the people of Gaza are the subjects of a Hamas regime where so-called Morality Police whip or imprison women deemed to be insufficiently covered, gays are executed, Islam is the only faith that is permitted and rockets are fired at Gaza’s neighbour, Israel. Peace won’t come to the region as long as such a brutal regime holds power. Vic Alhadeff

Light in the sky Did anyone else see something flash across the sky on Sunday March 13? I was driving into Byron on Sunday along the Ewingsdale Road at about 08.05 when I saw what looked like a meteorite shooting across the sky in front of me. It flashed from above the lighthouse, travelling South towards Suffolk. As I drove past Ozigo I tried to look between the trees, expecting so see smoke or some sign of impact. None was apparent. I was left pondering as to whether I had been ‘seeing things’. I reassured myself I had not been on drugs and my previous evening’s alcohol consumption had not been excessive. The object was not on fire, but was lit up with a white light and left a brief trail. The arc it was travelling in was absolutely straight, so I ruled out some sort of flare or firework. Its speed was way too fast for a plane, so what was it, a daytime shooting star? Did any of you fit types, walking along the beach to do the Bay Swim, see anything? In all other aspects of my life I do not feel I am going mad, but maybe this is the first sign! Graham Truswell

Bangalow DCP At a public meeting of Byron Shire planners and Bangalow residents there was much concern at the generalities of the draft Development Control Plan for the six new residential areas in the township. The meeting was for residents to interact with planners and have the opportunity to explain what they believe is missing from the proposed planning controls. Many omissions were identified, which Ray Darney, Byron Shire’s Executive Manager Environment and Planning, www.echo.net.au

agreed to take on board in the review of public submissions on the DCP. There were specific concerns about some of the residential density standards, the choice and scale of street trees, location of some of the recreational areas, impact of noise on design of properties adjoining the highway, the focus on internal bike-paths in the new areas with virtually no Bangalow overall bike-path network to which to link, and inadequate improvement plans for existing residential access roads so they safely handle the expected increased traffic load. When completed the new areas will

Candidates for the Nathan Willis Family First

Don Page Nationals

I am a long-term Alstonville resident and work as a Registered Nurse in aged care in Alstonville and Bangalow. I have been an aid worker in four natural disasters in Asia, and in addition to my work and family commitments, I am currently studying law. I am married to Sandie, and together we have four great kids and we are involved in our local church. Compassionate family values must inform the ways we provide housing, consider choice in schooling, provide genuine and quality care for pensioners, and care for the marginalised, disabled, homeless and others in need in NSW. I am committed to environmental issues including the conservation of natural resources, biodiversity and recycling of waste and pollutants. As a father of four kids, I recognise that their future environment needs to be in the forefront of our minds as we consider the use of our current environment. I am committed to supporting older people living at home by increased funding of Home and Community Care. I recognise the benefits of staying in your own home as long as you are able. Older Australians deserve excellent care in the environment they choose. www.nsw-familyfirst.org.au/ state_election.htm.

I am the current State member and have over 20 years’ experience representing this electorate. I understand the needs of our community. I am a strong supporter of small business. They employ many people on the north coast. I also know that we need to protect the environmental integrity of our area and our lifestyle, while supporting jobs. It’s not jobs or the environment – it’s jobs and the environment. I will continue to fight to make sure that the north coast gets its fair share of infrastructure investment and services in health, education, roads and transport in particular. The shortage of affordable housing must be addressed at all three levels of Government. These days health projects need to be shovel ready to attract Commonwealth and State funding. That’s why we’ve allocated $10million to enable both Lismore Base Hospital Stage 3 and the new Central Byron Shire Hospital to become shovel ready. The Ballina electorate currently has $1.52billion in Federal and State funding for roads under construction. I have a record of achievement, whether in Government or Opposition, and I hope to have the opportunity to continue to support our community after March 26. www.donpage.com.au

Different voting methods For state elections there are two methods of voting used. The method of voting for the Legislative Assembly is known as optional preferential. This means that after you have shown your first choice, it is up to you whether you show further choices. The candidates for the seat of Ballina are running for the Legislative Assembly. The method of voting for the Legislative Council is known as proportional representation. To be elected under this voting system a candidate needs to gain a quota of the formal votes. There is a whole range of

parties across the State running for the Legislative Council. Legislative Assembly: Electors are required to place the number ‘1’ in the square next to the name of the candidate for whom they wish to give their first preference vote. This is sufficient for a valid vote. ‘Optional preferential’ means that electors then have the option of allocating further preferences. They can vote for additional candidates by placing consecutive numbers, beginning with the number ‘2’, in the squares next to the names of those adwww.echo.net.au

State Election Round-up

seat of Ballina in ballot paper order Toby Warnes Labor

Simon Richardson The Greens

I am standing because I’m tired of spin and broken promises from both sides of politics. Since 2003 I’ve been campaigning for TOOT Trains on Our Tracks as the President of TOOT. We need two-car light rail trains of about 16 services per day and to extend the line from Murwillumbah to Coolangatta. My priorities include funding for the new Byron Hospital and improving mental health services, creative new businesses in the arts and food production that provide job opportunities. Our environment is number one and there is an urgent need to stop coal-seam gas mining from poisoning our water. We must do more to give people affordable housing options and funding services like Housing and Dept of Primary Industry. I have energy to bring change, as seen in my work for varying community groups including: President of the Suffolk Park Progress Association; Presenter of BayFM’s Spin Cycle, a show on local politics and issues; Board Member and Grants Committee Chair for the Northern Rivers Community Foundation and a Member of Toastmasters. I provide a fresh, independent voice. As an independent I will work for you, not a party. www.karinkolbe.com.au

If elected I promise to make this community my number one priority by being an advocate for the North Coast. My focuses will be: Education – supporting our local schools, increasing educational opportunities for youth by ensuring adequate funding for all schools particularly in areas of disadvantage to guarantee equal educational outcomes for all students. This includes further funding and innovation on Indigenous education to close the gap and provide role models for future generations. The way ahead is education. Transport – establishing a plan for a more sustainable transport network for the north coast by consultation with all levels of government. This will include the integration of new transport options with existing systems. Helping small business – supporting legislation that caps land tax to inflation, helping small businesses in our community cope with rising costs and prices. Assisting people with disabilities – land and payroll deductions for businesses who employ people with disabilities, encouraging community participation. I will provide additional funding towards assisting people with disabilities and their carers. www.nswalp.com/people/ electorate-search

Hi. My wife and I love living here. My child was born here, I teach in a local school and I’m a Byron Councillor. I’m passionate about supporting innovation, sustainability and appropriate regional development for Byron’s future. I care about the community and the issues that affect our quality of life. I want the trains back on our tracks. We need State Government support for our community to obtain affordable housing. As holiday letting of our housing increases and prices escalate, the community which breathes life into our area is increasingly being forced to leave it. The Greens will return planning powers to the community. Each development should be assessed on its merits, in line with local environment plans and our values. I chose the Greens because I want strong public services, a cleaner style of politics and a healthier environment. Unfortunately the major parties are too focused on the old ideas and short-term thinking. I’m proud that The Greens are brave enough to raise the difficult issues and care about how the world will be for our children. After 22 years under the Nationals, let’s push for change in 2011. Vote Green. www.simonrichardson 4greenchange.blogspot.com/

Bruce Kemp Christian Democratic Party

I believe the virtues of truth, grace, love, service, self control, justice and humility are the basis of any good nation, state or community. I need your support to allow me to be an honest voice in parliament, determined to do what is right rather than what is popular with the noisy minority groups. My life experiences as a teacher, army officer, farmer and small business operator give me the basis to argue for sound balance and clear direction in the contentious issues of ‘people versus environment’, ‘the silent majority versus the noisy minority’ and ‘mainstream versus political correctness’. As a Christian-based country, we need to hold on to all the good principles that have shaped our nation and reputation. I urge people not to take the ‘Greens’ at face value… their agenda is not just about the environment! They claim to be transparent but work through insidious infiltration of places of influence.

Is harvesting camphor really a green solution? Clear felling of camphor laurel to create ‘renewable energy’ in the local sugar mills leaves Jessie Cole wondering whether wood-burning is really green power.

Burringbar is my home town. Turning off the Tweed Valley Way into the main street always does something to my heart. Lifts it in some way. I know I’m lucky to have such a connection to place, to walk a winding road through the greenest hills and think, this is home. It is a luxury of grand proportions. But lately walking through my valley has become something completely different. Huge double-barrelled trucks zoom past at high speed leaving the overpowering scent of camphor dust in their wake. Giant machines move up the hillsides clamping the camphors at their bases and felling them left, right, and centre. The trees are wood-chipped in the paddocks where they once stood and then carted off to burn. The sound of heavy machinery echoes through the hills, punctuated with the slow cracking of falling trees. The picturesque hillsides have become a site of carnage. I’ve been here thirty years, almost all my life, and never have I seen such devastation.

The harvesting of camphors to burn in the nearby Broadwater and Condong sugar mills is a ‘green initiative’ partly funded by the NSW and federal governments. The proposal was simply to turn cane waste from the sugar industry into energy, clearly a win-win scenario, eliminating the polluting cane field fires, and topping-up the electricity grid with renewable energy. ‘The reality is,’ says local educator and environmentalist Alison Polistchuck, ‘there was never enough cane waste to burn, and camphors are now being clear-felled to fill the gap.’ Foreseeing the reliance on woodchips the NSW Greens leader, Ian Cohen, rejected the initial proposal in 2003, claiming it was ‘not a green plan at all.’ Though green groups raised questions about the en-

unchallenged, but there are bigger questions at hand here. Are camphor laurel trees better than bare pasture in green terms? What is the value of a tree, any tree? And perhaps most pertinently – is burning woodchips ever a green power solution?

Crisis

On a global level this kind of ‘green power’ is called ‘biomass burning’ – chipping up trees and burning them in power plants to create electricity. This practice was deemed carbon neutral at Kyoto back in 1997, even though burning trees for energy emits 150 per cent of the CO2 that burning coal does, and it takes 30-90 years of new growth to re-capture the CO2 that is released instantly from burning trees for energy. ergy required to cut, chop, and transport the wood, the loss of mature trees as a carbon sink, the erosion and silting up of the local creeks, the possible threat to endangered plants and animals, and the basic pollution of wood-burning, these problems were disregarded, and the plan was sold to the public as renewable energy.

This practice was deemed carbon neutral at Kyoto back in 1997,

even though burning trees for energy emits 150 per cent of the CO2 that burning coal does, and it takes 30-90 years of new growth to recapture the CO2 that is released instantly from burning trees for energy. The word ‘loophole’ springs to mind. Camphor laurels have always been a vexed issue on the north coast. A declared noxious weed, they are the cane toad of the flora world, colonising spaces where the Big Scrub used to be. The ecological benefit of regenerating camphor trees to native forest is largely

In an interesting turn of events, the co-generation plants were placed into receivership early this month. The Executive of NSW Sugar Chris Connors has blamed the financial crisis on the fall in value of Renewable Energy Certificates due to a flooding of the market. But a closer look at NSW government audit documents reveals a complex mix of factors leading up to the economic problems. Lower than forecast amounts of cane waste and limited availability of alternative fuel sources were both cited. No questions have been raised about the basic unsustainability of harvesting trees to burn for fuel, and it is unclear whether this recent financial crisis will mean an end to the clearing, or an increase as the sugar mill scrambles to stay afloat. Camphor laurels are a noxious weed and there is a legal objective to control the species. But the irony is, unlike natives, these trees thrive in open country so clear-felling them does little to stop their spread. For the practice to be ecologically viable there would need to be staged removal of trees and replanting with native species to protect habitat, prevent erosion and weed infestation, as well as to minimise the loss in carbon stores. Even if wood-burning for electricity were a green power solution, no effort has been made to manage the camphors in a sustainable manner. Walking down the road in my home town I am left wondering what strolling through my valley will be like when all the bulldozers are finally gone.

Dingoes a keystone species in wildlife diversity Mary Gardner

Many feel that understanding domestic dogs is surely easier than figuring humans. But what about wild dogs or dingoes? Domestic dogs are cherished pets or workers. Wild dogs are domestic dogs gone feral and are considered dangerous pests. According to the latest scientific classification, dingoes are iconic Australian wolves. This may seem as straightforward as canine body lan-

guage. But all three can interbreed and their roles are twisted together. Dingoes, native to Australia for some 5,000 years, are often seen as pests or pets. Since 2008, the state of Victoria has declared them to be a threatened species. New South Wales protects them only if they stay in designated conservation areas such as national parks. According to Brad Purcell, a dingo specialist, this confusion costs millions of dollars, untold suffering and major ecological

damage as well. He says that Western farming traditions, which are also established here, consider any type of dog killing livestock must itself be shot, poisoned or trapped. He agrees pets gone bad must be destroyed. Wild dogs who band together are also a hazard. But having spent years tracking dingo movements with cameras and GPS collars and examining their scats in every season, Purcell says that blanket extermination policies are misguided. They are largely prejudices against these predators, whose diet is largely of kangaroos, wallabies, possums, wombats as well as goats, rabbits and even pigs.

Over a year, dingoes choose different food for two reasons. They will select or ignore a species depending on its biological season: youth, age, injury or health. They also weigh this up against the training needs of their own young or the needs and abilities of their pack. These specific actions integrate dingoes to country. They set off ripple effects: more or less herbivores, more or less vegetation, more or less other seemingly unrelated wildlife such as other marsupials and even birds. When dingoes are

absent, these relationships lose that order. A strong population of dingoes appears to suppress and topple the numbers of foxes and feral cats. These smaller hunters are in another class of predator. Unlike dingoes, they ignore prey larger than themselves. As they hunt for whatever they can find, without shifting their choice of prey over the seasons, they devastate smaller native species. Purcell and many others worldwide see the loss of a

likely than attacks by pet dogs: 1,168 over the last quarter year alone. Shark attacks, like those of pet dingoes, average almost one a year. By comparison, in 2008 alone, assaults by humans numbered 196,800. Even with all these facts, our lopsided attitudes about certain predators are hard to change. Jaak Panksepp, a neurobiologist, investigates the foundations of brain activity and insists that ‘as a civilised society, we have to come to

But our fears of predators overwhelm us. As with sharks, bears and big cats, we make monsters of wolves. We even make villains of small insects because they hunt. The reality, at least in NSW, is that attacks by wild animals are far less likely than attacks by pet dogs: 1,168 over the last quarter year alone. Shark attacks, like those of pet dingoes, average almost one a year. By comparison, in 2008 alone, assaults by humans numbered 196,800. top predator, a ‘keystone’ species, links the extinctions of native wildlife. They consider the lifestyles of dingoes – travelling their boundaries, mating, whelping and training the young of the dominant female – have similarities with that of wolves, coyotes and wild dogs worldwide. They are leading programs to protect and reinstate them throughout their lands. In Australia, this may be a vital factor in restoring landscapes altered by farming and introductions of exotic animals and plants.

terms with our animal nature’. Panksepp is referring to his new results based on brain imaging. His team mapped seven different emotional systems deep in the subcortex of mammals. He calls these the ‘gifts of nature’. They are prepackaged emotions that we share with animals: fear, rage, lust, care, panic, play and something he labels ‘seeking’. When any of these systems

are turned on, animals respond. They either dislike or like the system and do the best they can to stop or continue with it. These systems themselves can get imbalanced. For better or worse, this affects animal behaviours from rat to dingo to human. Panksepp explains that seeking is of special interest. It is an intense, even ecstatic ‘general purpose finding system’. Activate it and an animal is off exploring, testing, trying, doing interesting things, engaged in learning about the world. Frustrate that seeker and animals including humans will latch on to something, anything else. Could this be at the very core of both creative and destructive behaviours and ideas?

Seven systems Maybe when we discuss shark fences and dingo baiting, we must first start with some exercise to select from our seven systems. We must elect to halt fear and panic and turn on play and seeking. This isn’t the only debate that teeters between openmindedness and prejudice. We could go on and defuse talks about climate change and water rights. Build a ‘can do’ attitude which leads to action. Learn to take our place within the landscape, alongside fellow predators. The night comes when we will again respect the howl of dingoes.

Overwhelming fears But our fears of predators overwhelm us. As with sharks, bears and big cats, we make monsters of wolves. We even make villains of small insects because they hunt. The reality, at least in NSW, is that attacks by wild animals are far less

THE ORIGINAL SINNER JACK THOMPSON IS SOMETHING OF AN ENIGMA. NEVER JUST AN ACTOR, JACK’S UNCONVENTIONAL LUST FOR LIFE HAS SEEN HIM STAR IN FILMS LIKE BREAKER MORANT, CONTROVERSIALLY LIVE WITH TWO SISTERS, BECOME A SPOKESPERSON FOR ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES, AND ESTABLISH THE JACK THOMPSON FOUNDATION TO BRING TEACHERS TO REMOTE INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES. Jack Thompson now has a new string to his bow. At 70 Mr Thompson and his band The Original Sinners will be performing at Bluesfest. SEVEN had a chat with Jack about the world, how to create change and, of course, finally music. It’s Jack’s commitment to social change that is most inspiring. It’s something he believes he was born to. ‘The Thompsons were socially active and getting involved was regarded as the natural thing for you to do. They were involved with the establishment of the Paddington society; they moved there in 1950 when it was slated for demolition (along with west Woollahra, Surry Hills and The Rocks). These areas were to be filled with those red-brick blocks of housing. They managed to demolish some and start – when John and Pat (his Mum and Dad) moved in – and they had seen the restoration of Chelsea in London before the war and were attracted to the architecture and to the city, and the proximity. My dad worked for ABC radio in the city. With an American friend my parents helped create the first ever legislation to protect an urban environment. ‘Opposite Paddington Town Hall is a park, and in there is a fountain that said In Memory of John Thompson. Opposite the Town Hall there is Juniper Hall, one of the old Georgian houses on that side of the city, that was also supposed to be pulled down and my parents fought hard to preserve it; and there’s a plaque that says In Memory of Patricia Thompson – without her this building would have been demolished. Having a social conscience was part of growing up. I felt that you had to do it; it’s not political, it’s social.’

So how does Jack feel about the society we are moving into now, the one about which our last prime minister remarked ‘There is no community, only individuals and corporations’. ‘We are living in a very different world, and there are aspects that are quite confronting. It’s as if overnight we have allowed ourselves to accept quite openly – like revealing that the young soldier who apparently handed the material to WikiLeaks – the material shared by three million people incidentally, none of it declared top secret – that this man is imprisoned without trial. Somehow we have moved from a world where we as young people felt passionate about people’s rights and civil liberties. Civil liberties is now dirty language.

......THE ORIGINAL SINNER........................ ‘There has been an erosion of our civil liberties – I think you just have to recognise the absurdity of a lot of things and get on with what you can and where you can. Somehow or other we have to find a way.’ So how do we create children with the same kind of social values as Jack was given? ‘I think it’s much more our individual responsibility to maintain it in our homes and with our children. You can’t design your children or what they do but if you encourage their imagination and their deductive capacity then they enter the world with the only tools that they need.’ So what about climate change? Where does Jack position himself on that issue. ‘Most of us know – if we don’t understand we are certainly capable of understanding the concept – the closed carbon cycle in which we live, that there are limits and they are already being felt, and the sociopolitical issues are reflections of the very real physical issues. If we were seriously involved in debates on administrative issues about community, those are the things we would be dealing with, not arguing about them. It’s like someone coming into an emergency room with a broken leg and the staff debating whether it’s broken or not. It’s agonising for the person with the broken leg. What did Bob Dylan say? It’s a pig circus.’ So how does a man like Jack find his way teaming up with Normie Rowe and Kevin Borich for the Bluesfest? ‘It came about because I’ve known Normie Rowe for many years. On a couple of occasions I have met Kevin and both of them turned up at my 70th at the Basement in Sydney. Incidentally, I sold tickets to my birthday party to friends and family, to raise funds for the Foundation to keep it going when the government funding didn’t come through. I am not a professional musician. Billy Thorpe once invited me on stage to play with him at the Bluesfest. We were at a memorial for Peter Carrette (papparazzo photographer and philanthropist) at the Bondi RSL. There was Normie and a couple of other musicians and we were up on stage playing the blues really, which is what you do at a wake, and Rusty was there from the Blues Festival and said you guys are great. I didn’t know Jack was a blues player. They thought that we must have been rehearsing this because we were so in sync! It was Peter Noble who said what we should we call it – what about Jack and the Original Sinners. This was after a film I did with Angelina Jolie and Antonio Banderas. We are doing some of Normie’s songs and some of Kevin’s pieces and some traditional blues, and including St James Infirmary; it’s just about that, the death of my baby and going to the funeral, eight of us going and only seven of us coming back; they are the blues!’ So what does it feel like walking on stage in the company of giants? ‘It’s a bit nerve racking, I’m in the company of really, really good musicians. The harmonica is an instrument that even in the best of blues is equal to the guitar, but it’s an accompanying instrument that plays phrases that act and – it’s a privilege.’ You can catch Jack Thompson and the Original Sinners at Bluesfest!

benefit of being involved in the Music Brokerage program has been the real generosity of spirit demonstrated by Arts Northern Rivers’ Music Brokers, Sam Fell and Claire McGarry. ‘Trying to make your way as an independent music artist can be a very lonely journey.

According to Broker Claire McGarry the Northern Rivers Music Showcase event will leave industry guests and local audiences in no doubt as to the depth of music talent prevalent locally. The show starts at 7pm, Wednesday March 23, at Byron Bay Community Centre. Tickets cost $15, available from the Community Centre, www.byroncentre.com.au, and on the door, if not sold out. CDs will be sold on the night.

Playing Illy buggers Melbourne emcee Illy is taking his breakthrough sophomore album The Chase on the road with a huge run of national tour dates. The Chase Tour will see Illy hitting up major cities and regional centres around the country. Along for the ride is producer and good friend M-Phazes. Since its release, The Chase has received rave reviews from all corners of the media and catapulted Illy to the forefront of the greater Australian music community. The lead single It Can Wait (featuring Owl Eyes) took music lovers by storm and led the way for Triple-J to award The Chase its Album of the Week status in September 2010. Widely respected among the Australian music community, M-Phazes’ full-length debut Good Gracious saw him exit 2010 with an ARIA Award for Best Urban Album. Thursday at the Beach Hotel, 9.30pm Free gig.

Magic Dirt Girl Magic Dirt’s rawly radical Adalita showcases the breadth of her songwriting talents with her new eponymous solo debut. It is a distillation of everything that Magic Dirt represents, with the layers of instrumentation stripped away, leaving only the bare bones of the songs themselves. And those songs are stark and heartfelt. They’re startlingly direct at times. They’re austere and beautiful and powerful. Thursday at the Hotel Great Northern.

HOLIC HALL GALOW CAT N A B E H T T DEV SAM A ON FRIDAY

This week Byron United launch their Byron Naturally campaign unveiling the one ‘face’ that has been chosen to represent our entire region. I’ve watched with interest as women with faces (those too off their face were immediately disqualified; can’t have the face of Byron pulling on a bong) have competed not to be the face of a new generation but a new generalisation.

But that’s just not the Byron Experience. Businesses boomed here because tourists came for the counterculture. They came because it was unsophisticated. They came because it was creative. They came because it was different. Nobody came here to go to the shops. That’s an incidental activity that happens when people come to a town for the ‘experience’.

This is the one face that is supposed to speak to the values and diversity of our entire community. Tolkien could have been working for Tourism NSW, because it would appear it’s his strategy that’s been employed to haul in fresh tourist meat. ‘In the Land of Byron Bay, where the shadows lie. One face to rule them all, one face to find them, one face to bring them in and in the darkness bind them.’

And while on the subject, increasing tourism is not sustainable. The bigger the tourist dollar, the more the commercial rents will increase, and thus the more tourism that will be required. Wouldn’t it be simpler to follow the lead of European tourist towns and have rent caps on commercial premises?

The whole campaign reeks of the 1980s, where women in red maillots draped themselves over cars to make the vehicle seem more desirable. I’m almost expecting the Hoff to be brought in for a bit of Byron Baywatch action. What a great way to up our tourism numbers, promote Byron using a beautiful woman in a swimsuit, or surfing ... Wow, wasn’t the Lara Bingle ‘Australia: where the bloody hell are you?’ campaign an international embarrassment? So Lisa Mae is the natural face of Byron. She’s lovely. But that’s just one face. We need to celebrate our pluralism, because that’s part of the Byron experience that people used to come for. Only the guys in the Wicked vans come for hot chicks. It’s part of the experience that’s heading for the endangered list. Let’s see the The Real Faces of Byron: maybe the expression on someone’s face when they drive around Woolies for an hour looking for a park. What about the face of a drunk teenager at a doof whose parents don’t know where she is, or the smug smile of a property investor whose just sold a Belongil beach house to a Chinese investor? Lack of affordable housing means that all the interesting faces, the tattooed faces, the black faces, the pierced faces have all gone. All we’re left with are our franchise faces. These are the faces that you see in every coastal town. The result is ferocious. A constantly evolving, roots- and punk-based rock’n’roll sound with an unmistakable underlying political agenda. From Springsteen to The Clash, Chuck Berry to the ease of a Jamaican Sunday, King Cannons play with ferocity and passion but maintain a certain chill that exudes classic cool. King Cannons appear at the Beach Hotel on Friday. 9.30pm. Free gig.

The Funk Affair back on

After not being able to perform at their last Buddha Bar gig, owing to Carola’s illness and ADALITA AT TH hospitalisation of a another band member’s E HOTEL GREAT NORTHERN wife, Carola Christian and The Dirty Funk ON THURSDAY Affair’s gig has been rescheduled to this Friday night! Carola and crew wish to thank Cannons at the Beach everyone who came along that night and Six good friends come together to create music crafted from their apologise for any inconvenience. Swing by The Buddha Bar this Friday night for some ‘good times’. 7:00 p.m. start! many different individual influences and inspirations. presented by RAZ Music

I don’t understand BU’s opposition to the markets. The markets are a huge part of establishing this thing tourism bodies call ‘The Byron Experience’. The markets are the home of produce, conversation, music, weirdos and wind chimes. Sure, businesses lose trade for a day. But in the long term, people’s faith in Byron is restored. They come back. All the iconic businesses of Byron started at the markets anyway. We’ve all heard what people say when they come here now: ‘Byron’s changed … it’s lost its magic’. The world has fallen out of love with Byron Bay. We have cooked our golden goose and stuffed her with gluten-free. Ironically this is the town where people flocked to recover from identity crises. The town where people came to change their names … and now Byron’s having an identity crisis. We don’t know who we are any more. Byron will have to change her name. I’ve seen her face. I know her new name. It’s ‘The Gold Coast’. Stay tuned to The Echo when we celebrate Byron’s perversity, diversity and subversity with the launch our ‘Faces of Byron’ competition next week, with major prizes for contributors being awarded at the 25 Year Birthday Celebration and Echo Awards on June 18.

New bands for the Billi This Friday Shy Baby (featuring Shiney LeFai on vocals) kicks off the new Friday night schedule at the Billinudgel Pub. Throw Mumma From the Train (featuring former Friday night jam session organisers Lyne Davis and Grant Robertson) will also play one gig each month, commencing on Friday 1 April. For all the musos and music fans who enjoyed the impromptu brilliance of the Friday night jam sessions, a new-style jam session, again organised by Lyne and Grant (but during daylight), will commence out the back of the Billi on Sunday afternoons from 3pm.

DIE! DIE! DIE! Deep in the far south of New Zealand two Dunedin teenagers Andrew Wilson (guitar/ vocals) and Michael Prain (drums) were wide-eyed, enthusiastic and sneaking into as many shows as they could – which would change their lives forever. After playing in noise bands in the vibrant Dunedin music scene, longtime friends Andrew and Mikey decided it was about time to do something more exciting with their music. Out of this came Die! Die! Die!

From here, the band embarked on an intense international touring schedule that has seen them play around the world in all manner of venues from house parties to parks to clubs and festivals. Die! Die! Die! play play play the Hotel Great Northern on Sunday.

Hunt at the Bowlo Catch the smooth and sensual funky soulstress Lisa Hunt when she plays the Mullum Bowlo on Saturday. ‘Put on your cocktail dress, scrub up the boyfriend or bring your besties out for a night of fun, food and a boogie’ says Lisa. Neil Henley will be dressing the room to create atmosphere. Tickets are available at the Mullum Ex-Services Club, The Bookshop and Bowling Club.

Date with Dudes Dan Parsons and Steve Grady’s 50 First Dates is a road trip with a difference. The pair abandon the typical inner-city hipster haunts and take to the halls and public bars of Australia’s more mysterious and far-flung towns. They met at university, both turning up to a band rehearsal with acoustics, at which point Dan was shunted to electric. Since then they have been strong influences on each other’s music. See two men work as one at the Treehouse in Belongil on Saturday.

The Grigoryan and Tawadros families are also close friends. ‘It’s great being part of BOB; we’ve known each other for many years and have become really good friends. This definitely factors in our performance in relation to the group’s energy and dynamic, and that’s why we really enjoy ourselves on stage. Slava and Leonard, Joseph and James: one super group, two sets of siblings, four internationally acclaimed musicians. Byron Theatre at the Community Centre on Saturday.

CULTURE The original story With new discoveries, history changes all the time. It takes some time for it to make it into the history books. Anthropologists/ Geneticists Wilson and McCann – after being hailed as proving that Homo Sapiens came from Africa – recanted and withdrew their conclusions after doing further studies in Australia. It is along these lines that the Forgotten Origins Roadshow wishes to travel the area to inform people of the relatively new discoveries regarding the Original People of this country now known as Australia. This is a multimedia presentation by internationally published author Steve Strong. The night will include a smoking and cleansing ceremony, some song and dance, followed by a slide presentation and information sessions postulating these relatively newly discovered theories. Friday at the Drill Hall at 7pm and Sunday at the A&I Hall in Bangalow at 7pm. All proceeds go to the Jai Morcom-Drummond Mentor program.

Cool vibes, new music / words / visions with Karena and many others A new musical collective – co.sonance – consisting of violinists Ken Naughton and Cye Wood, multimedia artist Grayson Cooke, and Karena Wynn Moylan – will be presenting their special blend of electronic/symphonic/spoken word at Still @ The Centre this Saturday. Poets Riddhi and Glitter Girl will be reciting selected personal poems and Grayson Cooke will be live-mixing amazing visuals to cover the gallery walls.

Three widows in Queens, New York meet monthly to look back and to visit their husbands’ graves. The Cemetery Club, Ballina Players’ bittersweet comedy, examines with humour and compassion the very different ways they deal with life, death and loneliness. Doris (Diana Mason) clings to her memories, while Ida (Robin Quinlivan) starts to think of new love. Lucille copes by behaving outrageously. The ensuing conflict as they challenge one another’s beliefs is lively and often very funny. The Cemetery Club will be staged at the Players Theatre, Swift St, Ballina from 25 March to 9 April. Tickets are available at Just Funkin Music – phone 6686 2440.

The Bronx, New York, 1964. The only thing tougher than the working class Catholic School St Nicholas’s is its headmistress, Sister Aloysius. She is a stickler for tradition and discipline and keeps an iron grip on staff and pupils alike. The new priest Father Flynn is charismatic, informal, and popular with the boys and the other nuns. When Father Flynn takes a personal interest in the school’s first black student, a troubled young boy in need of a protector, Sister Aloysius is convinced of the worst. She is prepared to risk everything to prove it. Doubt, a parable was written by

John Patrick Shanley, an Oscar-winning screenwriter. It premiered in New York in 2004 and went on to receive the Pulitzer Prize for Drama before being made into an Oscar Award-winning film starring Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman. David Mamet included it in his list of 10 Best American Plays of all time, and with the growing church-child-abuse scandal, it has only grown in relevance.

Robert De Niro, surprisingly small next to Cooper, walks through his Wall Street toe-cutter role and, thankfully, can’t stop himself from unleashing his signature wincing guffaw, while Andrew Howard’s Gennardy, the Russian crim who gets a taste for the gear, is fab.

again collaborated with cinematographer Anthony Dod Mantle (who also shot his enchanting Millions) and the Indian composer AR Rahman, though in the case of the latter the results are uneven. Rahman’s muscular score is sometimes jarring and tends to shatter the overwhelming isolation and quietness that Ralston would have been experiencing – this is especially noticeable

in a storm sequence when the music thunders louder than the elements and comes between the viewer and Ralston’s visceral reaction to his plight. It is not until the cathartic ending, when Ralston emerges from the canyon into the light, that Rahman’s genius for hitting the right emotional note strikes its most potent chord. Halfway through, I feared that Boyle may have bitten off more than he could chew, but such is his skill as a filmmaker, so sure his instinct for the journey of personal discovery, that Aron’s cry from the heart to the hikers he sees when at last he is free – a cri de coeur that we all need to make at some time – comes as an unexpected but deeply moving climax. This is a wonderful movie. ~ John Campbell

Television Guide 1. Creepy novel, creepy movie. Christian Bale, seen here with Chloe Sevigny, is perfectly cast as Bateman in American Psycho (7Mate, Friday, 9.30pm). 2. If you can’t face the minutiae of the election on ABC1, tune into the luscious Elizabeth Taylor in the 1967 verson of The Taming Of The Shrew (ABC2, Saturday, 8.30pm). 3. And if you believe there couldn’t possibly be anyone left to murder in Midsomer, let archaeologist Neil Oliver entertain you with A History Of Scotland (SBS1, Sunday, 8.30pm DST).

casseroles impatient to erase/cancel/delete the old and instal the new. But rather than getting carried away this week needs sound judgment, though if you don’t like this advice, don’t take it. Make up your own mind. F TAURUS: With so many planets in your house of self enquiry, quite shocking personal realisations could see you choosing a new direction on a path less travelled. And with this week supporting new enterprises, it’s likely to be a path with surprising allies and sponsors. G G EMINI: This week’s transit of the flammable Ram looks like amping up your impulsive, impetuous side. Geminis have multitrack minds, so with the amount of random energy flying round it’s worth thinking things through before doing, saying or promising something you may regret. H CANCER: Cancerian Marcel Proust figured out that the real voyage of discovery isn’t finding out new things but seeing with new eyes, and this week delivers a welcome psychic vitamin shot to disperse blue moods and boot up enthusiasm for dealing with the present unrelenting changes. I L EO: With so many planets in your visionary ninth house this week overestimating things could be a worry, so really do the maths on big ventures before signing up. Then having achieved responsibility re the palace accounts, you’ll be all primed for a rather divine time. J VIRGO: This week encourages you to do something new. You’ve been wanting a change, so here's a chance to walk your talk on the wilder side of sensible. Other people’s complaints will be more emotional than factual, but they still deserve to be given a patient ear. K L IBRA: As the cosmic seesaw tilts between crankiness and creative mayhem, it’s important not to compromise what you

CHESS by Ian Rogers

The southern long weekend proved to be a big one for teenagers, with two major Australian tournaments won by the new generation of Australian stars. The biggest surprise came in Ballarat where 16-year-old James Morris outpaced a strong field at the 45th Begonia Open in Ballarat. Benefiting from a dream run with the pairings – caused by the favourites stumbling in the early rounds – Morris won his first six games and then drew with veteran IM Guy West in the final round to secure outright victory,

truly believe in to keep the peace. And this week’s no messing about transit helps take the angst out of difficult decisions by making them for you. L SCORPIO: While this bold week might frighten the faint hearted, you’re probably feeling hot in more ways than several – not surprising with the cosmic temperature rising. Channel this energy into attending to overdue obligations and commitments; consider it clearing your work station for an important new move. M SAGITTARIUS: This week lights your fire like nobody’s business, but accelerated pace needs you getting your head around the concept that hurrying equals less progress and slowing down will actually move things along quicker. You'll finish faster, get better results and more importantly, feel less frazzled. N CAPRICORN: Nice stars this week Capricorns, full of simple joys like lecturing wilful citizens who refuse to play by the rules, ignore the small print, remain heedless of details and deaf to advice. Of course they’ll take no notice so don’t expect results. Just have fun… O AQUARIUS: If your unpredictable planetary ruler Uranus evokes unexpected utterances not to everyone’s taste or liking, this week’s best diversional therapies for emotional moments are purely Venusian – so lift your spirits by beautifying your surroundings, spending time with pleasant friends, being creative or doing community service. P P ISCES: This result-oriented week wants action and expects you to walk your talk because others aren’t interested in dilatory Piscean behaviour, long-winded waffle or vague maybes. But being slapped into shape and out of the mists of Neptunian prevarication can actually be quite bracing…

High on high tea Edwina Blightrose

The Aztec Byron Bay

There are few things as satisfying as indulging in high tea with one’s coterie. (Unless, perhaps, it is musing over Heathcliff ’s open shirt front whilst petitpointing a Constable landscape.) Much has been done over the years to confuse the definition of high tea and the elements of this transcendental experience. It is often mistaken for Devonshire tea or afternoon tea, and held at absurd hours which do not reflect its origins. A thing from midday on Saturdays and 1pm on must be done properly or not done at all, Sundays. This will not do. involuntary motor functions aside. High tea, unfortunately also known as meat tea in some circles, should begin at 5pm, no earlier. It is not a replacement for what is now vulgarly known as ‘dinner’, a meal which should follow high tea no earlier than 8pm. These days our coterie eschews the heavier meats, relying only on the ham sandwich, the cucumber sandwich, and a variety of butterfly cakes. One must watch one’s figure. All accompanied by a suitable cup of tea, a Darjeeling or Lapsang Souchong, not to be confused with Tuesday Lobsang Rampa, that darling old fraud.

In order to further the understanding of the art of high tea, certain friends, including Miss Cecily Grapemangle, and I have formed the High Tea Party. Of course we should not be confused with the loathsome Australian Tea Party (www.austeaparty.com. au), which seeks to emulate the boorish manners of certain American troglodytes. Elections are odious, don’t you think? Cecily and I once had a remarkable experience of high tea at the English consulate in Fez, Morocco. It involved a bubbling glass vessel with several pipes protruding. I must draw a veil of decency over most of the evening’s proceedings but Cecily and I had a super time with the consul-general who, among other things, introduced us to a new form of calisthenics. Reverse Cowgirl Style, I believe he called it.

BYRON BAY CONTINUED

There are many culprits in the misrepresentation of high tea which, incidentally, gets its name from the type of table one sat at. For example, The Victoria Room www.thevictoriaroom.com (not named after The Echo’s peerless food writer *For more information on the art of high but some other woman) in Darlinghurst, Sydney, holds high teas improvidently early tea see www.highteasociety.com.au.

SNIPPETS COFFEE RESEARCH A new coffee research advisory committee, CoffRAC, will be the first to examine the science behind what coffee Australians like to drink and why, and how we can grow it domestically. Green Cauldron plantation in the hinterland of Byron Bay is leading the breakthrough study along with Southern Cross University and the University of Queensland. A Coffee Research Program with an initial $2.5 million commitment over five years has been set up in a bid to improve the Australian coffee industry via a scientific approach as well as to define specific Australian tastes and growing practices to help promote the industry. Ultimately Green Cauldron would like to breed a plant that best suits Northern NSW growing conditions and has a unique flavour profile distinctive of the region. The company, which currently has an estimated 60,000 productive coffee trees with another 20,000 to come, is predominantly export driven and supplies a unique Green Cauldron coffee house concept that is being rolled out across the UK.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT Northern Rivers Food was one of just six groups invited to display food products and businesses with women at the helm in Sydney recently. The event was the International Women’s Day’s Food For Thought celebration and was organised by NSW Industry and Investment and the Commonwealth Bank, having as its keynote speakers the muchloved food entrepreneur Maggie Beer as well as founder of Ozharvest, Ronni Kahn. According to Northern Rivers Food coordinator Lois Kelly, the Northern Rivers Food brand – which included Brookfarm Muesli, Lentilicious, and Byron Bay Coffee – attracted a lot of attention amongst the food buyers and food media present at the event.

The Byron Bay Boardriders are proudly hosting the 36th annual Byron Bay Easter Surfing Classic in 2011. This is a historic event, being the longest running amateur surfing event in Australia. This

Byron High FNC champs surfing competition runs for three days and caters for surfers of all ages; the Easter Classic is fun for the whole family. Cash and prizes are spread across all divisions with new surfboards also up for grabs in most divisions. Because of the event’s popularity in 2010, the masters (over 40) and the seniors (over 30) will also have $500 cash for the respective winners of each division. The feature division ‘Open Men’ is always the highest level of competition; they will fight it out for the $1500 first place. Open women will also be battling for the $500 first prize. For the kids the prizes will be outstanding and this is one contest worth adding to the résumé. The competition for 2011 is set to be huge. As the Easter Surfing Classic is a non-profit event, the organisers are hoping for some support and are very appreciative of any help from local businesses.

Bangalow runners up at ten a side Mullum Bowlo Axis of Evil

Breakaway Simon Leighton in a contest with players from the Gentlemen of Murwillumbah in their clash during the Ten-a-side Rugby Union Competition held at Evans Head recently. Bangalow finished second behind Evans Head and ahead of Byron Bay in third. For many the game of the day was Byron vs Bangalow. Bangalow won convincingly.

100 years of Aussie women in sport Last Tuesday, March 8, marked the centenary of International Women’s Day. The day provided an opportunity to celebrate the countless achievements of women over the past 100 years. Female sporting legends – such as Dawn Fraser (swimming), Evonne Cawley (tennis) and Betty Cuthbert (athletics), and more recently Cathy Freeman (athletics), Lauren Jackson (basketball) and Louise Sauvage (Paralympic athletics) – have proven themselves on the national and international stage again and again. At the most recent Olympic, Winter and Commonwealth Games women have won the bulk of Australia’s medals.

Australian women are also currently ranked at the top of many other sports, including cricket, netball and triathlon. A higher percentage of Australia’s female basketballers currently play in international leagues than men and in 2010, for the first time in any sport, women secured equal prize money in tennis’s top four tournaments (the Grand Slams). The Australian government is committed to supporting and improving female participation at all levels of sport. The ASC will open applications for the 2011–12 Sport Leadership Grants and Scholarships for Women shortly. The scheme inspires and as-

sists women in sport leadership and decision-making roles to reach their full potential in the sports industry through education and development opportunities. ASC Sport Leadership Grants and Scholarships can be used to cover costs as diverse as course and presenter fees, travel, translator/interpreter and child care. Grants are distributed nationally in ASC-recognised sports. The applications for the 2011–12 round will be assessed in May 2011 and all applicants will be notified by July. For more information visit the ASC website: www.ausport. gov.au.

Byron brothers win gold Hunter Surf Life Saving Club, Redhead, has upset defending champions Sydney Northern Beaches Club, Queenscliff, to claim the title of top masters at the 2011 Allphones NSW Surf Life Saving Championships. The team narrowly beat local Far North Coast club, Byron Bay, which sent a strong contingent of competitors to the event. Even torrential rain couldn’t dampen the spirits of the Manly competitors who brought home the trophy at the end of the 2011 event. The Championships ran at Kingscliff Beach from Friday March 18 to Sunday 20. Close to 100 clubs and 3,000 competitors congregated at Cudgen Headland Surf Life Saving Club at Kingscliff which is playing host to the NSW Surf Life Saving Championships for two years. Pictured are three Byon competitors who did do well at the event. Brothers Dan McCabe, Mike McCabe and Greg McCabe won the gold medal in the ski relay. www.echo.net.au

The threat of bringing the game, the club and the entire town into ill repute has not stopped a consortium of the scariest kind, allowing the bowlers from The Echo entering into the fourth and fifth round of the Mullumbimby Ex Services Bundy Barefoot Bowls which were held on Friday evening at the Axis of Evil. Two new willing and unsuspecting lambs were sent to the slaughter in last week’s episode of the unfolding drama. A double take was their best response to rules including not drinking on the green – such lunacy was met with looks of bewilderment from Shazza ‘Just Call Me Fluffy’ Bullock and Jodie ‘Who Cares I’m Going to Italy Anyway’ Di Costanzo. The newbies were joined by threeweek veteran Eve ‘Good Grief This Is Like Ground Hog Day’ Jeffery, and they decided that it was time the team got down to business and put their best bare foot forward. In a dismal display of exactly how low you can go, the Echo girls were victim yet again of the series of profesional ringins diguised as warm and friendly, carefree rookies. The results for all of round Four were: Check-Out Chicks 9 d Vet Mongrels 6, Can’t Nail Us Down 24 d Easy Rollers 0, Jobless 19 d Mullum Bus-Tards 6, Club Crew 26 d No Cents 3 Tavern Troopers 11 d Plastered 7, Un Co-operatives 11 d The Argyles 6. The Chinny Burger-Lars with a measly 11 scraped through in a nail-biting finish, finally defeating the Team Echo with an outstanding 2. In Round Five the Vet Mongrels 7 drew Tavern Troopers 7, The Argyles 19 d Mullum Bus-Tards 4, Plastered 13 d Easy Rollers 2, Can’t Nail Us Down 10 d Jobless 5, Check -Out Chicks 15 d No Cents 4, Un Co-operatives 14 D Chinny

Hemp as food a step closer: ‘nutritious’ Low THC hemp as a food (Application A1039 – Consultation) The Food Standards Authority of Australia and New Zealand (FSANZ) have progressed an application to amend the Food Standards Code to permit the introduction of food products containing hemp seed. The FSANZ Supporting Document states that hempseed is a nutritious food containing sizable amounts of protein, polyunsaturated fats and dietary fibre. Hempseed also contains micronutrients such as thiamin, vitamin E, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron and zinc. Hempseed has a favourable fatty acid profile, with more than 80 per cent of the fatty acid content being unsaturated. Like other nuts and seeds, hempseed and hempseed oil are a good alternative source of a number of nutrients. The report explains how hempseed oil is permitted to be sold as a food in New Zealand, also that hempseeds and hempseed oils have been sold as food and food ingredients in many international markets, including Europe, Canada, and the United States of America. Andrew Kavasilas, a NSW licensed hemp grower who

has been pursuing this issue for over a decade said, ‘This is coming at the right time, health conscience consumers have accessed hemp foods via the web for a while now. It’s time for Australian farmers to get a foot hold in hemp’s billion dollar global industry.’ FSANZ have concluded that the consumption of hemp foods in Australia does not pose a public health and safety risk. However, FSANZ is seeking comment on the other matters that we must consider, for example, information on costs and benefits. Although hemp is permitted to be grown commercially in Australia, Mr Kavasilas states, ‘We have fibre only legislation in the participating states. It’s like saying you can grow wheat for the chaff. ‘There is no more nutritious whole grain than the hemp seed, I still can’t understand how every other country has allowed hemp foods for ages while successive Australian governments have dismissed the health benefits and agricultural opportunity offered.’ Details of the assessment report and consultation paper can be found on www.foodstandards.gov.au. Submissions close on April 27.

CSIRO researches biofuel Transforming waste plant material into a sustainable, lowemission fuel for the world’s cars, trucks and planes is the aim of a new research collaboration between CSIRO and leading Australian and UK universities. The AU$8.3 million CSIRO Energy Transformed Cluster on Biofuels will develop new processes using enzyme biotechnology techniques to produce liquid fuels from waste plant feedstocks with the potential to provide 30 per cent of Australia’s future transport needs. Transport is the third larg-

est producer of greenhouse gas emissions in Australia after the electricity industry and agriculture. According to the Director of CSIRO’s Energy Transformed Flagship Dr Alex Wonhas, sustainable biofuels can significantly reduce emissions from transport, strengthen energy security and create new business opportunities. ‘Second-generation biofuels that are produced from agricultural waste could potentially be a cost competitive, lowcarbon fuel that will keep our cars on the road and planes in the sky,’ Dr Wonhas said.

According to Andrew Hadley, Group General Manager, Strategy and Marketing from CUA (www. cua.com.au), it is all about starting your property search with a clear view on exactly what you want from the purchase. ‘Getting onto the property ladder is one of life’s milestones, be it a stepping stone towards the property of your dreams or a home for the foreseeable future,’ said Mr Hadley.

‘Before you start looking, agree on your budget and look into the options available to help you fund the purchase, consider the type of property and area in which you want to live, and decide what the dealbreaker essentials are that you want as part of your home.’ CUA has developed a 10-step buying checklist: 1. It’s all about location: Selecting an area is one of the most important decisions to make from the outset. Consider transport links, proximity to shops, schools and other amenities and don’t forget to research the area’s property values – picking the next ‘up-and-coming’ area could mean your first home turns into a great long-term investment. 2. What property type? Choosing between a house and apartment will typically come down to lifestyle requirements, although it’s important to think about the implications involved with each. An apartment may be easier to look after, but often comes as part of a strata agreement that involves the regular payment of strata fees and various corporate body restrictions. Similarly, buying a home means you may have fewer land and renovation restrictions, but the cost to purchase is typically much higher. 3. Get a loan pre-approval: This isn’t a complete loan approval, but

it will give you a good idea of how much you can borrow and what your purchase limit will be. Loan pre-approvals are typically valid for around 90 days, so speak to your financial institution once you’re ready to get out into the market and find that perfect home. 4. Plan a detailed budget: When working out how much you can afford to spend, don’t forget to factor in the additional costs that come with buying a house, such as stamp duty, settlement fees and water rates. These can mount up – so don’t send yourself over budget by failing to plan ahead. 5. First time home buyers grant: A national scheme funded by all Australian states and territories

home loan with products such as buildings and contents insurance or a transaction account with no account maintenance or monthly fees. 7. Bidding style: There are two ways to buy a property: settling your offer privately or going to auction. Auctions can be daunting, so make sure you’re familiar with the process before attending an auction for a property you really want. Play the game right, and you may be able to influence the overall purchase price when the hammer falls. 8. Ask the right questions: When you’re viewing a property, knowing offers a one-off grant of up to $7,000 what to ask the agent or auctioneer can help you negotiate the right to first time home owners that satisprice. For example, how long has fy a set of eligibility criteria. Some the property been on the market? states also run additional schemes or How many offers have already been bonuses for first time home buyers, made?
