A whale of a season begins Showdown looms over tourism levy Ray Moynihan

A showdown is looming over new tourism taxes in Byron, as a key council advisory committee develops plans for a special rate rise for business, to help maintain local infrastructure. The business levy is one option to be discussed at a meeting this week between local government Minister Don Page and members of council’s influential Tourism Advisory Committee (TAC). The advisory committee includes representatives from Council, the community and business, and its draft plans will likely go out for public consultation later this winter. Rates from just over 14,500 properties support the maintenance of local infrastructure, including toilets, parks and roads in Byron Shire. Our annual visitor numbers are estimated to be 1,500,000 people, which includes almost a million day trippers.

Breaching humpbacks are back – this photo was captured during the week by Whale Watching Byron Bay. Conservation group Whales Alive (www.whalesalive.org.au) recently posted on their website a victory for whales – the moratorium on commercial whaling remains, despite a recent proposal to the International Whaling Tourists account for a Commission (IWC) for a compromise. Whales Alive director Mick McIntyre said, ‘Had this compromise agreement been approved by the IWC, not only would the 25-year-old moratorium on whaling have been lifted, but the illegal third of the wear and tear and immoral activities of Japan, Norway and Iceland would have received the stamp of approval from the IWC.’ He Council estimates tourists are readded that the USA and NZ will still be pushing for this compromise at the forthcoming IWC meeting in the Channel sponsible for almost a third of the Islands.

Council moves away from biodiversity aims Michael McDonald

Byron Shire Council is redefining the way it uses the Environmental Levy coughed up by ratepayers and announced with fanfare in 2008. A recent motion from Crs Morrisey and Cameron has seen the end of funding to the Land for Wildlife services and an end to the Biodiversity Extension Officer (BEO) position. The funding is now allocated to ‘an infrastructure maintenance conservation program budget, with expenditure on conservation initiatives, such as roadside vegetation management…’

Council’s former Biodiversity Extension Officer Wendy Neilan told The Echo, ‘I am very disappointed that the Land for Wildlife program and the biodiversity extension service have been abandoned as this was a key strategic project to support biodiversity conservation on private lands in the Shire. ‘Only around eleven per cent of lands in the Shire are in public ownership and management, including the National Park Estate. ‘The rest of the land is under private ownership and makes up most of the area between the Nightcap and the coastal parks.

‘The extraordinary biodiversity of animals and plants and ecosystem processes within Byron Shire occurs across all land tenures and if conservation is to be acheived at the landscape scale we need to cooperate across tenures to achieve this goal. Council is in the best postion strategically to facilitate this vision and that is what the Byron Biodiversity Conservation Strategy is all about. ‘Land for Wildlife is a nationally recognised program that supports landholders in their stewardship of biodiversity on their land with a particular focus on habitat for wildcontinued on page 3

and has identified a need for an extra $7 million a year to maintain it at appropriate levels. While the tourism committee is debating a range of options, including a bed tax and across-the-board rate increases, its chairperson, Councillor Basil Cameron, told The Echo that TAC wants to start a dialogue about the idea of a new tourism levy for local businesses. ‘It’s early days, but a possible levy on business would involve rate notices for commercial properties being increased by a few per cent, with business getting a say in how the resulting funds would be spent.’ Katharine Myres, manager of the Byron Visitors Centre and a business representative on the Tourism Advisory Committee, says the idea of a

narrow new tax on businesses would be ‘a mistake’, although business having a say over how funds were spent may make the idea more palatable. ‘The community needs to raise money from visitors to pay for the impacts on infrastructure,’ says Ms Myres, who argues there are ‘subtle and painless’ ways to do it, like a bed tax, and that a general rate rise where everyone chips in is also worth considering. ‘We’ve got to have something new,’ she said.

Bed tax not feasible: Page State Minister Don Page says formal advice from his department suggests a new bed tax on accommodation providers is not feasible, because it would have to be shown to directly benefit those paying it. As to the idea of a special rate increase just for businesses, he said, ‘I could have a look at it.’ Mr Page told The Echo that ‘Byron, like other councils who have high tourist numbers, can mount a case for additional support for infrastructure’ from the state government, adding that he thought Byron’s case ‘would have some merit’. Apart from bed taxes or rate increases, Mr Page said there were two new funds being created, including an Infrastructure Renewal Fund which would see the state government paying at least 50 per cent of the interest costs on any new council borrowings. However Council general manager Graeme Faulkner warned against any new borrowings, saying the best solution was to increase revenues. ‘We’re happy to look at any opportunity to improve infrastructure, but are most concerned about continued restrictions on the autonomy of local government in its ability to raise revenues.’ Byron United (BU) president Sevegne Newton said she had ‘very little faith’ in Council’s proposals and continued on page 2

Time is now for central ‘green’ power station Victoria Cosford

Dieter Horstmann believes it is time to have a green power station in the Byron Shire up and running. The owner of Tyagarah’s Eagle Farm lodged an application for Byron ECO park at his 75acre property back in March with the NSW Department of Planning. He was told it would be decided in a matter of days what is required, but the NSW elections changed politics and the rules. The plan is to develop a business park facility operating on environmentally-friendly technologies, water-saving and recycling techniques and organic food production methods in harmony with nature.

Green local power ‘It’s clear that the best energy grid for Australia will be a 24/7 “green” local power station – and a big one at that with the right mixture of hydro, wind, solar thermal and geothermal power.’ Dieter, who describes himself as ‘not an academic, just an inventor’, is making his land available for this power station and

ECO-business, believing it is in a perfect position and good for Byron’s new ECO-tourism. It would be compatible with the existing electricity grid and he already has some finance organised for it. ‘The power station will be multifunctional,’ he told The Echo. ‘We store energy as heat and we have four heat sources so far to feed in at Eagle Farm. ‘We’ve done our case study. The first investment will be around $2 million for a 1.5 megawatt power station – which is enough for 2,000 people. That would be a good start for the $30+ million project!’ Dieter has already had an expression of interest from Bernhard Voll, director of Australian Community Energy. ‘He’s very experienced and

he wants to organise this and set it up,’ Dieter said. ‘No-one at present is organising this in the Byron Shire.’ Bernhard Voll specialises in wind farm design, solar thermal engineering and energy-efficient solutions amongst other fields. Dieter’s Byron ECO park proposes to include a research education centre, onsite accommodation and a wellness centre as well as ongoing education programs like the recent biochar education camp. For now he is hoping for local support toward the central power station so that as soon as the DA approval arrives work can commence. Anyone wanting to become involved is asked to email him at ByronNewEnergy@googlemail.com.

used by a million and a half visitors a year. He says the idea of new taxes is ‘absolutely ludicrous’ and would act as a deterrent to visitors, making Byron ‘less competitive.’ Councillor Ross Tucker similarly rejects the idea tourists are responsible for so much of the wear and tear on infrastructure, arguing the ideological motivation behind

Council’s plans for new taxes is to ‘make it unpleasant’ for tourists to visit. ‘If everyone says no to every measure, infrastructure will continue to go backwards,’ argues Councillor Basil Cameron, ‘and tourism won’t be sustainable.’ The Tourism Advisory Committee is a rare example of cooperation in Byron, at a time of ongoing division between a

green-dominated Council and local business interests. Visitors Centre manger Katharine Myres says while there are different views on the committee ‘everyone is respectful of each other’s position’ and all share a desire to promote green tourism. ‘There’s no reason businesses can’t be green,’ she said. ‘You can have green principles that encompass making a profit.’

Investors rethink fracking interests Hans Lovejoy

Fracking operations by energy company Origin have come under scrutiny by one of the country’s biggest ethical investment companies, Australian Ethical Investments (AEI). AEI Chief Investment Officer James Jordan told The Echo this week that he believed the controversial gas extraction method ‘poses significant environmental questions’, and as a result the company’s inclusion in its portfolio is under review. Farmers and rural landowners, along with supporters of renewable energies have condemned the practice, which they claim involves hazardous chemicals that can potentiality poison water tables.

Fewer greenhouse emissions: WWF And while hysteria and demonising surrounds fracking, the reality, according to Mr Jordan, is that natural gas has fewer greenhouse gas emissions than coal, and can be used at large scale immediately as the world shifts from a heavy reliance on coal, to a large reliance on renewable energy. â€˜This view is shared by leading environmental group the World Wildlife Fund (WWF),’ he says, and points to their Clean Energy Future report: wwf.org.au/ourwork/climat-

echange/cleanenergyfuture. ‘AEI is engaged in ongoing research and dialogue to monitor the risks and update our risk assessment, and if we form the view that the uncontrolled risks outweigh the positive ethical dimension associated with lower greenhouse gas emissions from coal-seam gas, we would divest.’ According to Mr Jordan, AEI invests according to the Australian Ethical Charter (www.australianethical.com. au/ethical-charter). ‘In broad terms we seek out companies that are doing positive things for the environment and society, and we try to avoid investment in companies that we judge to be harmful to the environment and society.’ This also means uranium, he says. ‘Australian Ethical avoids investment in uranium mining and nuclear power as we consider them to be harmful to the environment. ‘We have stuck to our guns on this, whereas a number of other ethical funds on the market dropped their uranium screens when BHP got involved in uranium mining through the takeover of WMC.’

Origin responds Origin currently meets around 40 per cent of Queensland’s natural gas needs through coal-seam gas, and has done so for several years, says Origin’s

media officer Chris Zipf. He told The Echo that the process of CSG production is not ‘fracking’, and that Australian operations, while similar to the US, had major and important differences. ‘In the US, natural gas is produced from a variety of sources – including conventional nonassociated gas, conventional associated gas, shale gas, tight sand gas and coal-bed methane (called coal-seam gas or CSG in Australia). ‘Most of the claims being presented about the US gas industry through movies, websites and social media mechanisms concern shale-gas production, and not coal-seam gas production.’ The techniques used by the US coal-bed methane industry have the closest similarity to CSG extraction in Queensland, according to Mr Zipf. ‘Coal-Seam Gas is almost 100 per cent methane (which is non-toxic)‌ and has a lot more simplified production, storage and treatment processes.’ He claims his company is not drilling into aquifers that supply agricultural water supplies. ‘It is not considered to be a potable or drinking water source given it is brackish.’ Mr Zipf also argues that a recent parliamentary committee inquiry in the UK into shale gas found no evidence that the hydraulic fracturing process in-

volved in shale-gas extraction poses a direct risk to underground water aquifers, provided the drilling well is constructed properly. ‘The committee concluded that, on balance, a moratorium in the UK is not justified or necessary at present.’

Peak ethical body comments RIAA (www.responsibleinvestment.org) is the peak body non-for-profit organisation that assists with governing the ethical industry. RIAA’s Duncan Paterson told The Echo that each ethical investment fund sets its own charter. ‘Most clients have different definitions as to what is ‘ethical’ or ‘sustainable’ and what it not. Asked if he considers coal-seam Gas exploration as ethical, he responds, ‘The jury is still out on whether or not CSG operations can be conducted in a manner which doesn’t have long-term negative environmental impacts. I think all ethical investors should be keeping their eye on this issue.’

CSG info nights A one-hour information night about coal-seam Gas Mining will be held at Main Arm Public School on Wednesday, June 29 from 6pm, and The Mullumbimby Public School Hall on Thursday June 30 from 6pm.

life. Byron Shire’s delivery of Land for Wildlife program has been held up as the gold standard by the state coordinating body as they seek to expand the network across NSW.’ The biodiversity extension service ran workshops for landholders and the broader

community such as property planning, riparian restoration, bush regeneration, birds in backyards, weeds, pest animals, camphor laurel mangement, threatened species, flying fox management, tree hollows, and living with wildlife. In a letter to councillors, local bush regenerator Dave

Rawlins wrote, ‘The employment of the BEO was resolved in a council meeting to be funded until 2013. ‘The termination of the BEO breaches the community’s trust, especially as the biodiversity conservation strategy focuses on ways Council and the community can work together to

protect our environment. ‘Also of concern is the way the funds from the environmental levy money will now be spent. ‘Roadworks, causeway upgrades and maintenance must clearly come out of the asset management budget (as the biodiversity strategy states).’

Renewables push fails to gain MP’s support

‘Missed opportunity’ to support 20 per cent of carbon tax revenue into renewable energy Representatives from three Northern Rivers climate action groups have just handed federal MP Justine Elliot the results of over 2000 conversations with local people around renewable energy. The groups include Tweed Climate Action Now, Ballina Climate Action Network and the Nimbin Environment Centre. ‘Over the past four months’, Eddie Roberts from Tweed Climate Action Now said, ‘volunteers from our groups went door-to-door and sat at market stalls to talk to people and listen to and record what they thought.’ ‘Ninety-seven per cent of the people we spoke to want strong policies to support new jobs and investment in renewable energy, and a remarkable 95 per cent want Australia to develop a plan to move to 100 per cent renewable energy.’ Mr Roberts said it was part of a nationwide 100% Renewable Energy Campaign which recorded the thoughts and comments of over 14,000 people. He says the Richmond electorate overwhelmingly want to talk about solutions. ‘They want to get behind a positive vision. People here are tired of the negativity and bickering by politicians and they just want

A win for Steiner School Mullum Christian School fundraiser nets $5,500 Cape Byron Steiner School won an engineering challenge posed by Southern Cross University on June 9 against eight other schools in the Northern Rivers. Taking $1,000 in prize money, the school can now compete in the super zone challenge in September. Students had to build objects such as an eco-house and hovercraft. Steiner students won the robot challenge, followed by other wins by students who created an unbreakable bridge.

Last Thursday’s cancer fundraiser raised enough to help a local family with medical costs associated with cancer treatment. ‘The target was to raise $5000, which was the gap after the Medicare rebate,’ says principle Richard Sansom. ‘For our little school to achieve such an amazing result, both in terms of money raised, and coming together as a community to offer support and solidarity for this family, is a testament to the MCS spirit.’

‘Renewable energy, unlike coal or gas power, is getting cheaper every day,’ says Ms Booth. ‘Last year the cost of installing solar panels fell by 40 per cent as governments overseas invested heavily in solar power. ‘With abundant sun in our area we could make power that will never run out and will bring vital investment and jobs. ‘We know people are worried about rising energy prices and that renewable energy is the only source of power that gets cheaper the more we install it. Tom Driftwood from the Nimbin Environment Centre added, ‘If Ms Elliot was serious about rising energy prices she would be coming out strongly in favour of renewable energy. ‘It’s time we got on with it and unlocked the potential of renewable energy like solar and wind and we will keep working to see that happen.’

Face painting fun day ‘More than $800 was raised by the art sales and auction!’ says co-organiser Amelia Bloomfield, of Sunday’s Byron Shire Early Childhood Intervention’s family fun day. The event was to also celebrate the opening of the Byron Toy Library, which is located at the centre. Pictured is Sabre Knight and his little sister Coco, who enjoyed face painting and the day’s activities.

Thursday’s Byron Council agenda Hans Lovejoy

Council’s ordinary meeting will be held this Thursday, with public access (ie the public addressing Council) from 9am. Cr Patrick Morrisey is seeking this week to amendmend the 1998 Rural Lands Protection Act with the aim of abolishing rates paid by rural landowners who do not own livestock. ‘If my NOM (Notice of Motion) was passed,’ Cr Patrick Morrisey, told The Echo, ‘the result for rural land owners would be that Council would have a new policy position‌ and Council would start lob-

and across NSW, ever since new settlers bought land and started managing it for nature conservation and have received no real service for the rate they pay other than a rate notice annually.’ Additionally Cr Morrisey says the funding for the control of declared pest animals, like wild dogs, feral pigs and foxes, would be shared across all people in NSW, not just those with 10 hectares or more. ‘This should result in a more equitable funding for the control of these pest animals and should also result in better support and therefore protection of the Shire’s unique wildlife.’

Also on the agenda A second rail crossing (aka the mini-bypass) in Byron Bay will be discussed. ‘Council staff are requesting Council to confirm its desire to progress the project and allocate an operating budget for the 2011/12 financial year of $50,000.’ A detailed design is required of the site if it were

A report to Byron Shire Council’s meeting this Thursday will detail incidents of staff misconduct and investigation findings. Council administration says it informed the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) of its concerns just before Christmas last year. Allegations include the acceptance of gifts, such as vouchers and clothing articles from suppliers, and preferential treatment of contracts being awarded to suppliers with whom staff supposedly had relationships. Council’s general manager Graeme Faulkner said, ‘As a result of the allegations an investigation plan was submitted to

Ballina Council introduces organic waste removal Victoria Cosford

There’s a new garden and organic waste collection service in the Ballina Shire. Kicking off on July 4, it is the outcome of 12 months of Ballina Council discussion and debate, and is a key component of its Integrated Waste Strategy. Prior to its implementation, the community was given the opportunity to comment on the Strategy in an advertised public exhibition phase.

It consists of a three-bin urban domestic waste service, with weekly collections of garden and organic waste such as food scraps, garden and lawn clippings. A media spokesperson for the Byron Shire Council told The Echo that organic waste recycling was discussed back in August 2009, and they resolved that rather than introduce an organic waste recycling program, Council will allocate all or part of the 2009/10 Waste and Sustainability Performance Improvement payment to the development of an education and public consultation program on organic waste management. Council’s Environmental Education Officer, Jude Mason, said that Council’s focus on empowering individuals to develop a sustainable household approach to waste management has meant that many community members now accept personal responsibility to reduce household waste at the source, rather than relying upon end-of-the-line bulk collection at landfill.

‘The organics education program works in conjunction with other community programs, such as Northern Rivers Food Links and Sustainable Streets, to help achieve outcomes in Council’s Greenhouse Action Strategy,’ she said.

Interest in gardening on the rise ‘The interest in gardening is on the rise and the community support is evident in the growing numbers of inquiries and attendance at organics and sustainability workshops.’ She said that as a result of the program, compost bins and worm farm sales have skyrocketed. ‘Recycling is also still on the rise with 14,000 tonnes of material being recycled annually. That’s more than 600 semitrailers.’ Legislative changes have made it mandatory for Councils to implement a garden/ oganics waste service. Rising state government taxes on waste going to landfill have made it more cost effective to

remove the garden/organics before it gets to landfill. According to Ballina Council’s Manager of Water, Sewer and Waste, Rod Dawson, the new collection service has the potential to divert half of the waste currently collected in the household waste bin which is going to Ballina’s landfill. ‘This will help to preserve the landfill which is running out of room and reduce the tax council has to pay on waste that is landfilled,’ he said. ‘Removing garden and organics waste from landfill helps prevent methane and leachate production whilst ensuring valuable resources are not wasted.’ Meanwhile, key Byron Shire Council education initiatives include composting demonstrations and workshops at farmers markets and at Mullumbimby Community Gardens; an organics education component as part of the Footsteps to Sustainability program in primary and high schools; advertising features in local papers promoting organic waste recycling and sales of subsidised compost bins.

Byron Council gets $738,000 for Belongil beachfront Minister for Local Government and Minister for the North Coast Don Page has welcomed $738,000 in NSW Government funding to cover the cost of beachfront damage at Belongil Beach resulting from severe storms. Mr Page said a series of storms and resulting big seas caused considerable damage along the state’s north coast in 2009. ‘Byron Shire Council’s beachfront protection works took the full brunt and considerable 8 June 28, 2011 The Byron Shire Echo

damage was sustained by these defensive structures. As well as seawall repairs, the works undertaken at Belongil Beach will repair public access pathways to the beachfront.’ Belongil resident John Vaughan, who has been locked in a legal battle with Council over beachfront erosion, told The Echo the funding raises questions as to why Council persisted with the litigation to try and prevent [his] works being rebuilt, â€˜all at a cost of millions of dollars.

‘This includes Council’s failure to inform the court at the time they sought the injunction to prevent the Belongil protection works being repaired; that the works were actually already approved, and required immediate repair or re-building under both the conditions of consent of Council’s own DA. ‘Once the current litigation has run its course, a public inquiry into Council’s actions during and after the May 2009 storm event is surely required.’ www.echo.net.au

Transplant games gold Ewingsdale hospital process ‘flawed’

It’s not every day you get to shake hands with royalty. Byron Shire resident Chris Healey did this week, however, when he received a gold medal for his 5km effort in the Transplant Games held last week in Sweden. Prince Daniel of Sweden, also a transplant recipient, officially opened the six-day event.

Chris also snaffled a second gold medal with a convincing win in the 1500m. This year 51 nations with close to 2000 competitors came together in Göteborg to help raise awareness of the success of transplantation and the amazing difference organ donation can make. Photo supplied

Ewingsdale Progress Association’s vice-president Bernard Grinberg isn’t backing down from his allegations of non consultation over the Ewingsdale hospital site. Despite the support for the future facility, he claims that the best ‘long-term use of this gateway land is not asked nor answered. ‘We challenge the view that we have been properly consulted – it is not that we have not been consulted, just that our views have been largely ignored. ‘It sets up a “us vs them” dynamic, with Council acting as the arbiter from a great height – this may be OK for a private developer case against the neighbours, but not when the community has to deal with a government (or other large) proponent. Council should be providing resources and time to

help the community to balance the numerous paid consultants. ‘It seems to me that the Council processes for dealing with such major public-impact developments are definitely flawed. It does not take the whole area into account. Social, ecological, traffic impacts go much further that one block with such developments. ‘Council has essentially treated our community submissions with the same weight as an individual viewpoint, regardless of distance from the site. The staff just state “there were x submissions for, y against”. This just is not right. ‘We were afforded a single token representative on a consultative group choosing the site, apparently headed by Mr McCabe. Our representative was not permitted to tell the rest of the community any-

thing as the matter was “confidential” so one could hardly call this having a say. ‘After the public announcement of the site the Ewingsdale Progress Association then met with Mr Crawford’s staff, some of the consultants and Byron Shire planning staff. ‘At each opportunity we thought we were being listened to, but the results were

that most matters were effectively fait accompli. At our very first meeting with the staff on 20/12/06 (instigated solely by us) we were informed that contracts had been exchanged for the six-hectare block.’ The office for the Health Department’s Chris Crawford decline to comment, adding that questions of lack of consulation was answered in last week’s Echo.

Feros Care celebrates 21 years of aged care Victoria Cosford

A Charleston demonstration, 1920s music and fabulous costumes were all part of the 21st birthday celebrations at Feros Care’s Byron Bay Village. Residents, staff, board members and guests gathered in the Christine Vadasz-designed building in a festive commemoration of founder George Feros. CEO Janine Buckley told

www.echo.net.au

The Echo that 21 years ago George Feros started fundraising for what was to be Byron Bay’s first aged care hostel. ‘It took 14 years to tirelessly fundraise for this,’ she said. ‘People forget that Feros Care is owned by the Byron community because they contributed to become a member. ‘Most of our members are from the Byron Shire. There wasn’t a nursing home here

at the time. It was a long time coming!’ The original chairman of the Board was Shirley Nelson, who remains a member of it. Before the cutting of the cake Shirley spoke about how at the time Feros Care was the most modern aged care facility in NSW. She said that it was an extremely proud moment for her. ‘It’s been 21 years since we opened the facility and ever

since then we’ve had an occupancy of around 95 per cent. ‘We raised over $1 million in Byron Bay (to set it up) then the government gave us about $1.3 million and we also got money from the state government. ‘Since then Feros has been so important with its team of wonderful staff and volunteers.’ She thanked the residents and staff for entering so fully into the spirit of it all.

Julia hangs on, Libs avoid Reith

Volume 26 #03

Thank you oil, coal, gas A friend of mine has now started offering blessings to his sources of nonrenewable energy. It’s a great way of coming to terms with our collective reality – Australia’s wealth relies on energy sources crudely sucked from the planet, and being grateful can at least ease the blind rage resulting from being continually let down by timid politicians and corporations unwilling to change. Blessed are our cars that run on petrol (refined oil). Blessed are our gas cooking and heating from LPG. Blessed are our lights and electricity from coal. And of course blessed be the crude oil that provides the plastics that makes us more stuff, including the computer I’m writing on. These beatitudes also extend to our food sources – blessed is the trucking industry (diesel) that moves our foodstuffs around this nation. Having thus blessed our energy sources and absolved any sense of guilt, it is now imperative to seek alternatives to these outdated systems. First we must overcome the great failings of the manufactured political divide. Right-wing ideology, we are told, scorns the questioning of its practices, and celebrates the triumphant free market economy. The left wing, it is said, tries to limit all the fun the free marketeers are having because the ice caps are melting and others are starving. The failings of both ideologies are also dripping with religious overtones. The garden of Eden – or the planet – is ours to do what we like with, but we haven’t even learned all the names of the animals and plants yet. Is ‘go forth and multiply’ still the accepted axiom? Hope is the best medicine, and that starts with gratitude. I am extremely thankful that Australia is so privileged and has the potential for evolution. Blessed is our ability to change our minds for the better. Hans Lovejoy, editor

T

he very fact that the opposition and the media did their level best to make last week’s anniversary of the downfall of Kevin Rudd into a major political event suggests that they don’t have much else going for them. Admittedly they had a little help from Kevin goneto-heaven himself; the idea of holding an assassination dinner for his friends at his Canberra residence was a silly provocation, and the discovery that he didn’t have enough friends to make it worthwhile a welcome reality check. And the general public stayed away in droves. The event can now be consigned to history, at least for another year. And Julia Gillard handled the kerfuffle with grace and skill, resisting the temptation for both self-justification and gloating, determinedly facing, as always, forward. The worries about her credibility and her persuasiveness in communicating with the electorate remain – her latest attempt to provide a vision thing for the real Julia seems to have fallen as flat as its many predecessors – but noone in the caucus at least has any doubt of her tenacity, nor of the fact that she would fight like hell to hang on to the job in the unlikely event that a serious challenger emerged before the next election. And there is still the feeling that she can regain the political initiative and with it the support of the public; there is enough time, and when the full story about the carbon tax emerges, everything will change. Well, perhaps it will. Last week for once the headlines were in her favour: even The Australian could not spin the breakthrough on the National Broadband Network as all doom and disaster. Taking advantage of this

evidence of progress, Gillard continued to accentuate the positive with her glimpse of the bounteous compensation that will flow from the introduction of the carbon tax and Tony Abbott’s response that he would provide everyone with heaps of money apparently conjured out of thin air seemed both reactive and unbelievable. Finally Joe Ludwig kicked off the new week with a promise

dia tart – he can’t help himself. And his utter lack of principle, while it did not hinder his parliamentary career, would not be so welcome in the more staid forums of the party elders. Two examples: when Labor brought in a referendum to recognise local government in the constitution, Reith persuaded his party to oppose it, although it was part of the Liberal policy platform: blanket opposition

The worries about Gillard’s credibility and her persuasiveness in communicating with the electorate remain.

by Mungo MacCallum of relief payments for those made jobless by the ban on live cattle exports to Indonesia. It wasn’t enough to turn the ship around, but at least it proved the engines were still running. Meanwhile the Libs were rejecting what had appeared an irresistible offer by their shopsoiled former minister Peter Reith to become their organisational supremo in place of the self-effacing Alan Stockdale; perhaps enough of them had read Aesop’s fable about the frogs who substituted King Log for King Stork to recognise the risks. Reith as president would have been both visible and active, but that was precisely the problem. A man of insatiable and ruthless ambition, he has admitted to carrying the field marshal’s baton in his knapsack and boasted of being ‘born to conspire’ – unexceptional qualities in an unscrupulous politician, but not what you want in an impartial mediator at the top of a fractious group of backroom apparatchiks. Reith is also a me-

to all Labor proposals would be more effective politically, he said. And when told at the time of the children overboard incident that the navy’s film record did not actually show asylum seekers throwing their children overboard, Reith, as Defence Minister, responded: ‘Well, we’d better not see them then’, and proceeded to tell parliament the opposite. Okay, it worked; whatever it takes. But at the organisational level at least, the party of Sir Robert Menzies is meant to be more ethical and genteel. Interestingly an overwhelming majority of Liberal supporters in the media wanted Reith in the job, as did all four sitting vice-presidents, including that kindred soul, Alexander Downer. Both John Howard and Tony Abbott were said to be supportive. But the old guard, headed by the former Senator Nick Minchin, held out. Minchin himself, is, of course, a former apparatchik who, unusually in the Liberal Party, was elevated

to parliament. Perhaps he saw the potential for conflict more clearly than most. For whatever reason, the delegates, albeit by a bare majority, stuck to the conservative line. Those self-styled conservatives Howard and Abbott really should be pleased.

S

o the tobacco companies are really going to court over the plain packaging legislation, claiming that their intellectual property rights to make a lethal product as attractive as possible have been violated. Having failed through a long, mendacious and at times frankly absurd campaign to convince the Liberals to vote against the bill they are now seeking to scare the government off by threatening that they could be awarded billions of dollars in compensation. Serious lawyers predict that they will lose the case, but it will still be an expensive and timeconsuming nuisance. Perhaps there is a better way of dealing with whole issue. Many years ago when the English Parliament was considering restrictions on cigarette advertising on television, the doyen of the left, the veteran Labour Party MP Michael Foot rose to speak: to the consternation of many he opposed any ban. He was, he said, a lifelong supporter of free speech and an opponent of any kind of government censorship. The advertisements should continue. The tobacco companies cheered themselves hoarse. But, said Foot, there should be just one proviso. At the end of every advertisement, the screen should fade to black and then the station’s most trusted newsreader should appear and say: ‘These people are lying. They want your money and they don’t care if you die.’ Regrettably, this simple and honest solution was never adopted.

As a mother with a young family living in Ocean Shores I was delighted to read Tina Petroff ’s letter last week with regards to new gym equipment at Water Lily Park.

Council must set standards for affordable housing The recently reviewed Affordable Housing SEPP has been ‘dumped’ by the new state government. Byron Council can now embrace the opportunity to challenge the provisions for boarding houses when they consider the DA for the proposed conversion of the Brunswick Heads Squash Courts and Gym into a 28-room boarding house at Council’s next meeting on Thursday June 30. The SEPP’s ‘top down’ approach in imposing inflexible provisions has generated considerable backlash from communities and local councils around NSW. Many of the submissions on the recent SEPP review were concerned about

the ‘reduced’ standards permitted for boarding houses and the adverse impacts on tenants’ and neighbours’ amenity and cost shifting onto local councils. In fact many of the ‘incentives and concessions’ given to developers in the SEPP legislation impact on standards and amenity and override social and environmental concerns. Council must vigorously establish minimum design and building standards for affordable housing in Byron Shire. The SEPP’s current minimum living space of 12sqm for boarding houses is totally inadequate for the projected clientele. SEPP provisions for Division 1 Infill Residential development is far more rea-

sonable and allows 35 square metres for a bedsitter or studio, or 50 square metres for a onebedroom dwelling. Provision for carparking for the proposed boarding house in Brunswick Heads is woefully inadequate. The DA provides a total of five car spaces. Only one parking space is required for each ten boarding rooms. There is no visitor parking and one only space is designated for the onsite manager. The SEPP requirements for Division 1 provide at least one car space for each five dwellings, or in any other case at least 0.5 car spaces must be provided for each dwelling. This is a far more reasonable estimate of carparking needs.

Any renovations and/or refitting of old buildings should include energy and water saving features and improved ‘efficiency’ to reduce running costs and help maintain affordability and sustainability. No ‘Affordable Housing’ redevelopment should be allowed to create new inefficiencies as does the proposed DA. Small rooms without adequate ventilation or natural light, without verandahs or private outdoor space are totally inappropriate in a hot, humid, wet climate and may require additional lighting, cooling or heating year round. Council must take a proactive role in assessing the merits of the SEPP legislation

proper credit wasn’t given. Therefore I am happy to thank Mark Kearns of Goonengerry and Trevor Harrison and John McWirder of Lismore on behalf of the Byron Shire for their remarkable efforts within our community.

choose, then be aware that if you choose to park outside the showgrounds in Coral Avenue, the council will charge you for this privilege and choice will no longer be an option. We enjoy a game of hideand-seek like all big kids, but not when there’s an $86 outcome for playing a game where the rules vis a vis the signage is not obvious. If this is, as the Council suggests, a safety issue, perhaps the council could spend a few bob to erect another sign, in the middle of two existing ones. This way at least the unsuspecting shoppers would be made aware that not only would it be potentially dangerous to park here (as the council states), it will also be bloody expensive. Currently, the possibility is, if you are one of the unfortunate ones, that the money you save on fresh fruit and veges will find its way into the coffers of the council, with no obvious indication that the monies garnered in this manner will be invested in the safety of motorists by repairing the habitual proliferation of potholes which

luxuriate owing to Council’s inattention to this matter. If you, like us the undersigned, are pissed off with this entrapment, and would like to encourage the council to act more responsibly in this matter, please make your feelings known to Mr Scott Brodie, Compliance Officer, Byron Shire Council, on 6626 7107.

remind others to pick up after their dogs, and report or catch any dogs running loose. You cannot expect the council to police the area (they are broke), so it is up to those who want to keep walking there. It is an unpleasant chore, but it needs to be done. If the council and National Parks are presented with a well-run beach and no dogs running wild, then they are much more likely to be sympathetic. If you just scream and yell without changing anything you are sunk.

and the proposed boarding house. Instead of slavishly and rigidly adhering to the now discredited SEPP standards and recommending approval, Council’s planning department could also consider appropriate policy and legislative mechanisms to recommend to Council and the SEPP review committee to better facilitate the overwhelming demand for ‘quality’ affordable housing in Byron Shire. The boarding house DA provides an excellent opportunity to argue for a less prescriptive and more flexible approach to the legislative framework for affordable housing. Michele Grant

Local heroes

As a local member of our small, friendly and autonomous community, and someone aware of the hard work that was responsible for this renovation, I was more than satisfied with the recent refurbishment of the public toilets near the Echo office and Poinciana café. Not only was I flabbergasted by the precision of each and every individual shingle contributing to the roof of the heritage building, and amazed to see a public toilet that wasn’t full of graffiti yet plastered with local children’s art work, I was also enlightened to learn that the gardens and wooden bench surrounding the toilets were restored as a complimentary contribution to the community by the men behind the work of the refurbishment, and I was slightly disheartened that

Dog world

There has been some excitement in the dog world about the shortening of the beach walk at New Brighton. Many people protest that they and their dogs are well controlled and trained, and so should not be penalised for the actions of others. Understandable. However there are a number of dogs and owners not doing the right thing. Something must be done. The ranger is rarely seen, so it is up to the dog owners themselves to police the beach and dunes. Talk to other walkers who are letting their dogs run wild,

we would collect droppings that others may have overlooked. I remember contacting WIRES when a pelican was found injured, and although it may have happened I personally never saw a dog chasing wildlife. A long walk is a great tonic for both mind and body for dog and master. Whatever the anti-dog fanatics in our community may think, dogs bring many benefits to people and reducing the open space at NB to a measly 600 metres will be bad for the general level of harAndrew Hall mony and mental health in the New Brighton community at large. Neil Gaven & Sue Nelson

I read that there is a move to reduce the last long off-leash dog beach walk at New Brighton to 600 metres. This is an antisocial move with little or no understanding of its negative effects. I remember when the same thing happened at Brunswick Heads. I lost contact with many friends who used to meet each morning but were not interested in being reduced to doing laps of 400m. In the old days

community of responsible dog owners that frequent the beach every single day. I would imagine that the people wishing to restrict the dog area are not dog owners and if that is the case they will never truly understand our perspective but I hope they will at least try to understand. For many of us the dog beach is not just a place to exercise our furry family members but a place to connect with and support others in our community who we have met as a result of walking our dogs at the beach. If this dog beach is reduced in size it will become too crowded and the area of dogs too concentrated. Ocean Shores has nowhere else to walk your dog off leash and even on a lead the nonexistence of footpaths makes it very dangerous. We are sick of being treated like we don’t matter. Council voted against us on the Roundhouse site plans; now they want to take the most valuable community asset that we have from us. Everyone who has a dog and frequents the beach can attest that they feel part of a big family – it is the heart of our community. Making it smaller will weaken this heart and devastate many in our community.

What to do with all those liberated animals? Q The debate on live cattle exports rages on and Mr Hain (Letters, June 21) suggests we stop eating meat. I will ask Mr Hain if we all did this, then what would we do with the millions of live animals left that have been bred for the table? And who are we to worry about how other people on this planet treat their livestock that they are going to butcher and eat when we can’t even have the same consideration for the treatment of human beings, for example, Aboriginal people in remote areas, (the Intervention) or refugees who come to this country? Yes, we could butcher the animals here humanely, but who is going to do the work? Most big abattoirs hire tem-

porary foreign labour especially from the Philippines, as in WA, because they are unable to get Aussies to do the job! So here we have a dilemma: to eat meat or not, to worry about our health or not, to kill humanely or not, to care for our live cattle and sheep industry and animal farmers or not, to have more consideration for humans first or not? After all the word ‘humanely’ refers to people, not animals. What to do?

Please, Council, listen (truly listen) to what we have to say. We want the wildlife to flourish but we also want our community to continue to thrive. Emma Waters (and Chilli and Gus!)

Ocean Shores

Those lefties

Again and again, letters from our resident socialist intelli-

read Tom Hain’s letter with interest. Why is it that some, and I do mean some, vegetarians go to such extremes to try

to influence others? You rarely ever hear of meat eaters raving on about the mystical benefits of meat and why vegetarians are all plant murdering psychopaths. Tom is among those vegies who think that if you are a meat eater then that must be all you eat, that meat eaters spend most of their life chomping into the world’s wildlife. Wrong – most meat eaters enjoy a balanced diet of red meat, white meat, as well as fish and a generous serve of vegetables. Yes, we do eat vegetables. I am not sure where the research is to satisfy his claim that a worldwide epidemic of disease is caused by eating meat. I would suggest that many of the world’s diseases are caused by

poor nutrition, that is, a lack of a balanced diet of meat, protein, calcium from dairy and fibre from vegetables and grains. Can Tom also provide the science that says cancer and heart disease are caused by eating meat? What about smoking, drinking, stress and drugs? I would also challenge his claim of poor treatment of animals from farms to abattoir. Many of the farmers I know and read about have no interest in raising stressed animals, in fact the opposite, animals that are treated well produce better meat – fact. The reality is that at some stage they are slaughtered and this process meets criteria set out by various animal welfare organisations.

On the subject of pollution and the devastation of our planet, consider the suggestion that we all give up meat and eat only vegies, land clearing would have to be done on a major scale to grow these crops to feed us all. You cannot grow crops on a large scale in a forest. I respect the fact that Tom has an opinion and that he sounds very keen to get his point across. I also have no problem if he would prefer a soya burger rather than a juicy piece of medium rare rib-eye. I will continue to enjoy a balanced healthy diet from all food groups including plenty of vegies.

gentsia in Mullumworld and environs demonstrate their complete lack of concern for people in third world and developing countries. Indeed, their lack of concern for others and possible solutions for a better world – be it genetically modified food to enhance nutrition or nuclear energy to reduce the plight of India’s poverty-stricken people – supports

the Greenpeace objective of a smaller global population. Correspondent Sapoty Brook’s rather abusive response to Wal Dyer’s reasonably put proposition of the benefits of nuclear energy for families where a quarter of a million Indian children between one and five years old die every year due to cooking smoke because they don’t have

electricity typifies the response of the socialist left. Attack others who do not agree with you and get personal – the plagiarised ‘it is one of the downsides of the internet that people can envelop themselves in a narrow belief bubble concocted and sustained by regressive money machines busily dragging our ecosystem towards oblivion’ statement, for example.

Nevertheless Brook’s solution of placing solar thermal devices in the Thar Desert makes you wonder why the Indian people had not thought of that for themselves, but I forget, they are only third world people. As to the assertion that ‘life would continue under and between the mirrors’ in the world’s most populous desert,

Comment

Deriving media authority from the people of successful publications, a vibrant and robust editorial culture. Editorial culture is the lifeblood of publications: it’s the spirit that infuses the mundane process of getting a newspaper to print. It’s the alchemy that turns the reporting of events in a geographical area into the expression of a community’s identity, and a privately owned business into the heart and soul of a healthy community. I often see around Byron Shire that bumper sticker that

Extracts from Julian Morrow’s speech at The Echo Awards:

The Byron Shire is a part of Australia where people believe in everything from kinesiology, to Tarot, to free and independent media… You people really will believe any old shit. In Byron terms, I’d describe myself as a ‘Reiki comedian’ – you won’t actually feel anything, and there will be nothing touching. But you’ll still have to pay for my services. I’m very happy to be speaking here tonight. To be honest, it’s about time. I’ve been advertising my services in the classifieds section of The Echo for over ten years. I love the classifieds. Most of the people offering services shouldn’t just be classified, they should be scheduled. But my classified hasn’t led to much work – if you’re listed between ‘Deep Masculine Honouring’ and ‘Best Body Rub Anywhere’ it’s hard to compete. And I probably shouldn’t have left the headline for my ad to Hans Lovejoy, although I have to admit ‘Non-Tantric Wanker’ is a fair description. I’m here primarily as an act of solidarity for independent newspaper publishing. Because The Chaser started as a newspaper like The Echo, and both were started for the same reason – reduced access to marijuana. The Chaser newspaper began in 1999 with the motto ‘Striving for mediocrity in a world of excellence’, which is a promise we’ve kept to our audiences ever since. I ran a newspaper during a prolonged period of bad circulation and pitiful ad revenue, so I’m well suited for a position in senior management at Fairfax. At least I can say that we had a failed media business model before it was fashionable. But independent newspaper publishing in Australia has a long history of short histories – of grand plans that weren’t sustainable. The Echo has bucked

www.echo.net.au

that trend. To make it to 25 is a big thing in newspaper terms. Although just like circulation, if that number was properly audited, The Echo’s probably only about 21. Printing newspapers isn’t an easy business. As they say up here, today’s newspaper is tomorrow’s organic tofu chip wrapper. But many great things can be said about The Echo. If nothing else, it certainly represents value for money. It has wonderfully dedicated staff and contributors. The people who work on The Echo aren’t in it for the money. And they’re certainly not in it for Fa$t Buck$. I admire The Echo for its relentless questioning of everything except the New Age businesses that buy advertising spots. And it can truly be said that in 25 years, The Echo has never had a dull page. Except as State MP. The Echo was founded in 1986 as a little community rag printed on A4. Since those early days there’ve been a lot of developments, mostly by Woolworths. But The Echo has been a strong advocate for the local area and the true local community, which is why today Byron remains the unspoiled oasis of alternative culture that it’s always been.

The strident independence of your local publication reflects the spirit of the people, but it also engenders that spirit. It reinforces and perpetuates the thing which brought it into existence. The Echo is a vibrant and thriving showcase of the curious anomalies and tensions that make a publication successful. One of those anomalies is ownership. The words we use to describe the attachment between readers and a publication are interesting. It’s palpable that Byron people think of The Echo as ‘their paper’… it’s ‘your paper’. We’d say the readers are ‘heavily invested’ in the newspaper. This is all the language of ownership – ironically applied to something you buggers don’t even pay for. Of course this is a ‘sense’ of ownership, not formal control. And I want to make two observations about that. The first is that the proprietorial language we use to capture how audiences feel about a publication – saying ‘The Echo is my paper’ – reminds us, underneath the very tricky business of newspapers, media authority ultimately derives from the community, just like political authority. The people are the ultimate proprietor.

But the second point about ownership, and this is far less ethereal, is about the real world owner – the proprietor. And that’s where The Echo has been particularly fortunate. One of the most obvious things about The Echo is how its dearly departed founder Nick Shand remains present in everything The Echo does. As an outsider it’s very touching that Nick’s headshot is still printed in the credits of each edition of the paper. That doesn’t happen at other publications. The only place you ever see a headshot of the editor of The Australian is on MediaWatch. I didn’t know Nick Shand, but something tells me – everything about The Echo and this night tell me – he was a very special guy. And even if there’s an element of wearing rose-coloured glasses to that, in Byron that’s a fairly moderate fashion decision. As far as I can tell, Nick was a guy who was serious about politics, thoughtful, passionate about his community but who never lost that touch of ratbag, and the spirit of fun. It a great testament to him, but also to David Lovejoy, the other proprietors, and to all of you, that the qualities of a man have now become the qualities of a newspaper. The Echo has that x-factor

<echowebsection=Letters>

says, ‘Magic Happens.’ I’m an atheist. I don’t believe in the supernatural. But in a very real-world, very human way, in Byron – with The Echo – magic has happened. Julian Morrow is a cofounder of The Chaser, a satirical media empire that rivals Rupert Murdoch’s in all fields except power, influence, popularity and profitability. He is also a public speaker who specialises in pandering to local sentiment.

that life is called struggling for survival where the living standard is already low. The indisputable fact is that western civilisation has brought vast improvements in our quality of life and our ability to live life without struggling for survival. But our socialist intelligentsia predict doom and gloom and preach the virtues of returning to the past. As British historian Thomas Babington Macaulay once asked, ‘On what principle is it that when we see nothing but improvement behind us, we are to expect nothing but deterioration in front of us?’

Genetically modified foods and electrical power supplied by nuclear energy are two examples of how western society can continue to not only prosper but lift the lives of hundreds of millions if not billions of people who live a life that we could not suffer. Then again these advances in society are not required by people who have access to that wonderful Australian invention, Centrelinkus Benefitarus, and how then are they to restrain the growth of and indeed reduce the numbers of people on this earth?

Congratulations to Mandy Nolan and all involved in putting together the Echo Awards night. Fantastic entertainment from Julian Morrow, Tim Freedman, the Scarlett A songbirds, Mandy, and particularly the hilarious Rod Quantock – minus microphone because, as he explained, when he traced its power back to the source there stood a coal mine. All the award winners reminded us how fortunate we are to live in a community with people who are so generous with their time in helping others. Colin Clarke But the highlight for me and Ocean Shores many others I’m sure was seeing

the lifetime community award being given to the incomparable Norma Forrest. Accepting it, bless her, in her trademark hot pink. I’ll never forget the words of wisdom Norma told me many years ago to help me through a difficult time.

of The Echo, The Byron Community Centre and BayFM who put this together. The awards that gave recognition to quiet achievers who serve the community in a variety of ways are overdue if anything and all nominated are worthy of recognition, as are many more in this amazing community. It would be great to see this form of recognition repeated from time to time. I felt very honoured to receive the award for environmental activism, particularly in a place with so many who care to make great efforts to protect the natural world we all ultimately depend on.

want to thank all those who voted for me. I do very much appreciate your kind support. We all continue to be confronted by threats to our future wellbeing by the bottom line of profit maximisation above all else, driven by a monetary system that requires endless growth of profit-making activity to sustain its corrupt methods. Our children and their children rely on us as flesh-and-blood conscious, caring people to differentiate between healthy life supporting commercial activity and that which undermines a sustainable future for all, and then to insist that our governments and private enterprise serve the people and ensure our natural life-supporting ecosystems are protected for the needs of the generations to come.

Longboarding It’s hard not to notice the growing number of longboards in our town. Local races and free riding days have been set up around your local neighbourhood, put on by the local community for the benefit and experience of younger and new riders, also raising money for charities like Disaster Relief and the Cancer Council. As the numbers grow our awareness needs to as well. It’s part of a revolution going on right now in skateboarding called longboarding and freeriding. The roads are there to be shared but at the moment Council and state law is falling behind. Simple road signs around town would be a good start to warning travellers that our town is skateboard friendly and part of our rich and diverse communtiy. A policeman marched down on to The Wreck car park at Friday sunset, hellbent on breaking up the fiasco that was families and friends, kids and professionals longboarding, unaware we are building community strength through group participation on a weekly basis in the safest place available. Longboarders have long been associated with street skaters. The Byron Bay Sidewalk Surfers and the Chicky Babe Bomb Squad are two local growing groups of longboarders who are setting a standard for the younger riders and representing the change in our skateboarding community, organising training, road safety days, races and enforcing the ‘no helmet no ride’ policy. If you would like to join us for a casual roll around the Bay area, then bring your boards and helmets on Friday to The Wreck, where we begin our cruise at sunset.

How will the banking reforms benefit you? The first reform is the ban on mortgage exit fees on new loans from 1 July 2011 Increased competition makes it easier to switch to a better deal The reforms enable more financial choices Lending institutions hiding unfair fees can be fined Some lending institutions have removed fees on existing contracts

The Australian Government is making changes to the banking system to make it fairer and more competitive. So talk to your lending institution today and start looking around, you have plenty of choices.

It is just another working-day lunch hour, except I am sitting in the starched and stilted dining room of the Regent Hotel in front of a food trolley. The waiter slides back its lid to reveal an entire salmon pooled in a rich red wine sauce, which he proceeds to portion out to the three of us, my colleague, my boss and me. This was the late eighties, the goodly greedy era of the Long Lunch, from which one rarely returned to the office; I recall that it had not even been a special occasion. How dramatically changed the food scene now is, in the space of 25-odd years. That one of the region’s most fabulously upmarket establishments has recently reinvented its dining component seems to me to be a veritable symbol of the change, a sign of the times (Rae’s at Wategos is now Rae’s Fish Cafe). Another is the fact that a decade ago there were three one-hatted restaurants in Byron Bay alone – Fins, Boomerang and dish, fine-diners all of them – and now there are none.

Slow Food And the area is but a microcosm, a part of a global whole which has seen the increase not only in a heightened environmental consciousness with respect to what we eat and how we source that but also in the

dialogue about food. Never before have we been talking so much about it, said Carlo Petrini, founder of the Slow Food Movement to a captive Sydney audience two years ago. The very existence of the Slow Food Movement, which began in the late eighties, heralded the start of a tremendous shift in attitudes, perceptions and understanding about food, which has only gathered momentum. In the eighties I was living in Italy and being exposed to some of its tenets – namely the eating of local and seasonal foods – which was, far from faddish, just the Italian way of life. I came back to Australia to an economic prosperity which meant that we were dining out several times a week, to dinner parties and nouvelle cuisine, kiwifruit and roulades, ‘exotic’ ingredients like sundried tomatoes, patĂŠs and terrines, food madly microwaved, amuse-bouches and personal chefs, rice cakes and Brandy Alexanders.

‘New’ foods Then came the nineties when the result of everyone travelling more began to be reflected in food like focaccia and pita bread, tiramisu and laksa. Thai restaurants proliferated as did gastro-pubs and the trend toward a higher quality cuisine in hotels which saw a rash of gourmet sausages served on beds of fancy mash infused with

ingredients like horseradish or wasabi; the abomination of fusion dishes like tandoori pizzas and lemongrass risotto; roast vegetables, muffins and big salads served in enormous bowls. Seared tuna and skinny lattes. Gradually, however, Slow Food philosophies were taking hold, hand in hand with better knowledge of, and concern for health and nutrition. The past decade has witnessed the interesting dichotomy of two trends running concurrently: the return to simple, seasondictated and often peasant food utilising cheap cuts like oxtail and offal, alongside molecular gastronomy whereby the traditional structure of ingredients is dismantled and reassembled and food is turned away from itself and into a procession of sensory experiences and scientific experiments. (Its most famous proponent, the Spanish celebrity chef Ferran Adria, has modestly said of his soon-to-be-closed restaurant El Bulli that it is ‘not simply a restaurant, but a social and cultural phenomenon.’)

Wild and unfarmed The latter, most privately hope, is a passing phase but the former, with its focus on farmers markets and hundred-mile meals, its burgeoning interest in artisanal foods like olive oils and charcuterie and cheeses and breads, its thrust toward organic and biodynamic, wild

ATTENTION HOME OWNERS, FARMERS, GARDENERS, POOL OWNERS AND LAWN LOVERS: WATER TANKS HAVE NEVER BEEN SO AFFORDABLE NSW Government rural and residential rebates available for water tanks for the garden/pool etc.

and unfarmed, its growth in community gardens and and school kitchen gardens, its very vivid greenness – all of this is adding up to a most exciting decade in which to eat. And whatever you might think of cooking programs like MasterChef, there is no denying their educational impact: we are all better informed, right down to our children. If we are what we eat, then I much prefer the today me, an organic pumpkin purchased this morning from the farmers market and a farmer whose name I know, slowly roasted in a local olive oil, than the eighties me, wading through imported salmon under an extravagant chandelier.

‘with more of a whimper than a bang’ as David Lovejoy wrote in his editorial, Woolies landed and our community is now more divided than ever. Yes, Ray, you are right: ‘not for local fresh food, people’. We at Santos believe in sustainable living, in transformational food ‘good for the body, the heart, the mind and the soul, and above all in vibrant joyful community!’ We advocate small business, local and ethical, and this is what Mullumbimby and the Northern Rivers truly are. We feel that our local produce is of an exceptional quality, that local consumers benefit immensely from having locally grown fresh produce, which hasn’t been grown under unsustainable commercial conditions, including cold storage/ artificial ripening/transport/, that fresh produce has to be ‘picked one day, sold the next’. We continue to develop working relationships with our local farmers in order to increase the profitability of our uniquely beautiful region and to improve consumer access to local fresh produce. Fruit and vegetables, but also all food products, packaged or not, impact on our health. On Thursday June 23, Santos presented with Screenworks at Mullum Civic Hall Food Matters, ‘a provocative documentary about food and health’, and it was a joy to witness a large

attendance by our community. Yes! Food matters! We as a community have a chance now to stand out, show resilience and courage, opt to resolutely live for the good, the beautiful, the true. This week marks a milestone in Mullum history. Dear residents and visitors, the choice is yours. Shop local and ethical. ‘Each and every dollar we spend is a vote for or against the Earth.’

which claims that ‘Libya contributed far more fighters per capita than any other nationality’. Most Libyan recruits were ‘linked to the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group’, which had ‘officially sworn allegiance to al-Qa’ida’. A recent New York Times article describes CIA and MI6 activities in Libya, where Obama has authorised a ‘shadow force of Westerners’ to provide arms, train rebel groups and ‘help bleed Qaddafi’s military’. These fractious militia groups, routinely described as ‘extremists’ to justify the phony war on terror, are now portrayed as ‘pro-democracy’, deserving our support and forming a pretext for yet another war in a major oil province. Contrary to the impression created by mainstream propaganda, al-Qa’ida and their ilk exemplify proxy forces, covertly co-opted and deployed to foster conflict on behalf of the West’s war-profiteering plutocracy.

nothing, just like they ignored the intelligence about torture and butchery by Indonesia’s Kopassus special forces which were trained in Australia at Pearce Air Force base, WA, and at Canungra, Queensland, and just like they brushed over their atrocities in East Timor. I can still vividly recall Gareth Evans and Ali Alatas swilling champagne in celebration of signing the Timor Gap Treaty while machetes were swinging in East Timor. Our intimate relationship with the USA blocks us from upsetting our powerful ally and, by extension, we are inhibited from criticising their staunch buddy Israel. After all, Binyamin Netanyahu is unique in getting 29 standing ovations from the US Congress! Australia’s foreign policy sycophancy produces a paralysis of morality which is why there is unqualified bipartisan political support for Israel. No other country gets visited by a 17-member delegation led by former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd. Australia therefore invariably follows US voting patterns regarding Israel in the UN General Assembly. Foreign Minister Rudd is happy to call on the UN to refer Syria’s al-Assad to the International Criminal Court but would never contemplate doing the

time. I was 12. Mum took me to a hospital. It was 19/02/80. I died for about 45 seconds and came back. Lucky! On the same day another guy died and never came back. He died in ‘the years of Jesus’. I found that out in May when I got out and saw Brian singing with my ‘soul food’, AC/DC. Over 30 years after his death, one couldn’t tell me that one still doesn’t get up and enjoy his songs played at local gigs in clubs or pubs. His songs are forever! Genius! What a pity! This 9th of July he would be 65. Still lives in my heart. Explosive like ‘TNT’, dirty like ‘The Jack’, alive like ‘Live Wire’, horny like ‘Whole Lotta Rosie’ – reminding us that we are all somehow on the ‘Highway To Hell’. Think about him and at least crack a smile on his birthday. Bon lives! Rudolf Surina

Dirty wars I agree with Richard Kidby (Letters, June 14) ) about the invasion of Afghanistan. Further, Peter Dale Scott (University of California, Berkeley) reports that opium production there increased from 250 tons in 1979 to 8,200 tons in 2007 – and that’s during 30

years of wars! What’s going on? This poor, ravaged country now produces about 80 per cent of the world’s opium, for heroin and pharmaceuticals. It is one of the world’s most ‘profitable’ lines. Where does the money go? Catherine Austin-Fitts, former Wall Street investment banker, reported ten years ago that Wall Street laundered conservatively between $500 billion to $1 trillion drug money annually. This was supported by the IMF, Senate investigations and the US Justice Dept, and reported (quietly) in the Washington Post, Le Monde etc. In 2001 those US proteges the Taliban cut the crop by 90 per cent (for political/economic reasons, not morals), causing panic on Wall Street and in the City. The annual crop had to be planted before the Afghan winter, and this was accomplished by November 2001 thanks to the coalition of the willing. Since then production has steadily increased under the watchful eyes of our soldiers, who as Richard pointed out do nothing to stop the trade. Ever since Elizabeth I chartered the British East India Co to go forth and, among other things, start the global drug trade by bombing the Chinese into accepting their Bengal

opium, the ruling elite has made monstrous fortunes out of drugs and wars. Witness that royal wedding recently. They are fabulously wealthy, aren’t they! How did they do it? Hard work? One hundred years ago ten per cent of deaths in wars were civilians. These days it’s 90 per cent. It’s planned. I do feel for families of dead soldiers, it must be awful to lose a son. However I feel far greater sadness and sympathy for the long suffering families of Afghanistan who I found to be friendly, helpful and non-threatening. Please send your prayers to them. David Hall

Ocean Shores Q The conflict in Libya has shed new light on the true nature of al-Qa’ida, a bogus chimera conjured up by the Pentagon’s paranoid conspiracy theorists. Testifying before the 2002 Joint Inquiry into 9/11, CIA chief George Tenet outlined the intelligence community’s ongoing engagement with alQa’ida, which he said included the ‘recruitment of well-placed agents’ and efforts to ‘infiltrate terrorist groups’. The Military Academy at West Point produced a report in 2007 entitled Al-Qa’ida’s Foreign Fighters in Iraq,

General Manager, Santos Q Contrary

to what some people may think, with the arrival of multinational Woolworths, this has not been a good week for Mullumbimby. Sad the town’s social fabric will be changed forever. Sad at many people’s shortsighted aim of saving a few dollars at the expense of the harm it’ll do to the town. Sad at the substantial amount of money that will now leave town. Research shows for every dollar spent locally, 60 per cent more local economic activity is generated than if spent with chains like Woolies. Sad people believe Woolies’ ‘lower prices’ won’t rise when the last local supermarket closes its doors. And sad they’re not aware they will then be financially worse off. Sad we will no doubt lose two fresh food shops and maybe more. Sad at the loss of lo-

cally supplied, nutritional fresh food resulting in loss of jobs and money for the loyal, longterm suppliers of fresh food to the ‘old’ supermarkets. Sad people have been fooled to believe the town will experience long-term additional employment. Sad that even the local bottle shop in Bruns is now owned by Woolies (BWS). Sad at the extra traffic congestion and pollution being created, and the reduction of pleasure in shopping in town. Sad for the people living in Station Street and surrounds, and the permanent reduction in quality of life they’ll experience – and for the reduction in the value of their houses. Sad so many people have already forgotten how Mallam’s sold the town down the river, on the pretext of losing money, only to sell to Woolies after receiving the government’s approvals. Sad that Mallam’s self-declared annual contributions of over $30,000 to local community organisations will be substantially lost forever. Don’t believe Woolies’ hype to the contrary. We will not be gracing Woolies with our presence. It would be great if the community felt and acted the same, and continued to fully support our local merchants and farmers’ markets. Ross Allan

We lock our lips over the Gaza blitzkrieg where cuttingedge and even experimental weapons were used on the most densely packed populace on earth, killing 1,500 people and causing tornadotype destruction to the civil infrastructure.

Varuna and Writers’ Festival assist budding writers Varuna, Australia’s only national writers’ centre, and the Byron Bay Writers’ Festival have teamed up to offer budding authors personalised editorial consultations. Northern Rivers Writers’ Centre Writer Development Manager Siboney Duff understands that being a writer can be challenging due to the solitary nature of the work: ‘Solitude is certainly an essential part of the creative process, but there comes a time when every author needs to show their work to another person.’ The consultations will be conducted by author Tegan Bennett Daylight.

‘Tegan has over twenty years’ experience as a teacher, critic and publishers’ reader,’ says Duff. ‘Her expert advice will help writers prepare their manuscripts for submission.’ Daylight is a novelist and short story writer. Her novels include Bombora (1996), What Falls Away (2001) and Safety (2006), and her short stories are collected in many anthologies and journals. She has been teaching in the writing program at the University of Technology since 1996, and also works as an editorial consultant for Varuna. Duff believes new writers can particularly benefit from

read over your work and provide constructive feedback is invaluable, especially if you are relatively new to the creative writing process.’ The consultations will take place on August 4–5 at the Byron Bay Writers’ Festival site. Applications close on July 13 and places are strictly limited. ‘Places are going fast so I encourage writers that are interested applying for a consultation to do so now,’ says Duff.

is why I probably liked him; he seems to exemplify the love a parent has for a child and the honesty and ease a father’s relationship with his child can be. It is because of him that I hold out hope for the protagonist’s redemption. ‘He hits my hand off because I try to put it in reverse instead of third and probably take a few teeth off the gearbox. By the time we get home Dad has already forgiven me. He always forgives me really quickly and says that when it comes to me he’s like a forgetful goldfish.’ The pivotal point in the story is Robert’s accident. The guilt and blame that consume the family and shape their lives shows how easily a moment in time can not only change the course of the future but can destroy important relationships. Forgiveness, acceptance and redemption are the main themes throughout the novel and Bauer illustrates how vital these needs are. The character Reg, whom the protagonist befriends towards the end of the novel, gives the main character the chance to temporarily expunge his anger and grief of the past. Reg’s wisdom, his subtle guidance and acceptance help the protagonist to realise that the most important part of living

is sharing it with others. Reg’s timely entrance into his life highlighted to me how important elders are in guiding us through life. Bauer’s character – the boy and the man – are raw and confronting. He doesn’t try to make them likeable, and exposes them for who they are, which is why they are difficult to like. Nonetheless it’s the insight into these characters’ disturbed minds that makes the book so intriguing. Bauer’s use of metaphor and his descriptions are quirky and his style well crafted. As a firsttime novelist, he has exceeded my expectations and writes like he has effortlessly churned out many a best seller. The pace of Rocks in the Belly is just right, neither faltering nor speeding ahead, resulting in a page-tuner that is difficult to put down. From my point-of-view, Jon Bauer is an author to keep an eye on. He is currently working on three novels, one which explores the consequences of blindness; another sees him journey into Islam and Morocco, while the third is described as a distorted love story. I look forward to following Jon Bauer’s career as a novelist and eagerly await the release of his works-in-progress.

When the corporate cookie jar gets raided Local author Daniel Prokop takes a close look at the GFC with his new book, Neverland, and, much like the Peter Pan fable, likens corporate CEOs to ‘little boys in designer suits’. ‘Suggestible authorities left them in charge of the world’s banking cookie jar,’ says Prokop. Corporations run by undisciplined children behave badly he claims, when given no rites of passage or guidance and wisdom from elders. ‘Of course they helped themselves to our cookies, because “self regulation” to a child means “Quick, grab every cookie you can while no-one is www.echo.net.au

looking.” The only real surprise is that people are surprised at all the missing cookies.’ He also explains how ‘different little boys were left to play in

a warm bathtub called the Gulf of Mexico. They had some large expensive toys to play with. These boys said that they didn’t need any supervision because their toys were: “So safe we’re prepared to bet our workers’ lives on them.” Unfortunately the boys played too hard and their biggest toy broke, killing eleven men and then sinking to the bottom of the tub. They made a mess that is still an environmental nightmare. ‘We have created a world where growing up is seen as bad, boring, even stupid. Unfortunately the consequences of living in Neverland and al-

lowing little boys to run big corporations are catching up with us: the global financial crisis, an epidemic of depression, preventable environmental catastrophes and humaninduced climate change. It is time for us to Leave Neverland, for our sake, for our children’s sake.’ Prokop argues that it is time to hold children in adult bodies responsible for their behaviour even when they run corporations that have an economic output larger than many countries’. The book is available online now. For more visit http:// leavingneverland.net/.

tropical plants have got a few months to go, they will be working underground, multiplying and preparing to be bigger and better soon. The time is right for getting all skanky leaves off, moving, splitting up clumps (like day lillies) or repotting, and pruning can begin this month, like cleaning up unwanted runners on tigergrass, gingers and heliconias etc. It is also the best time to attack scale on plants now while it is dormant, by cutting the worst areas off and treating the rest with white oil.

HE’S BEEN CALLED AUSTRALIA’S FUNNIEST COMEDIAN AND BACK IN 2002 HE WAS ACTUALLY VOTED AUSTRALIAN COMEDIAN OF THE YEAR AT THE MAURIE AWARDS. POMMY JOHNSON IS DEFINITELY THE COMEDIAN’S FAVOURITE COMEDIAN, LOVED OSTENSIBLY FOR HIS ABILITY TO TAKE A CROWD AND SMASH IT UP IN JUST SECONDS WITH HIS OFFHAND NO-BULLSHIT APPROACH.

GET YOURSELF SOME JACK LAWSON We have CDs of Jack Thompson reading the poetry of Henry Lawson for our readers. The release of Jack Thompson – The Poems of Henry Lawson coincides with the anniversary of Henry Lawson’s birthday this month. Says Jack, ‘I have a personal passion for Australian poetry, and especially for the poet of the people’. Email gigs@echo.net.au with subject heading ‘Jack’.

Pommy’s been at it for well over two decades now, but being a comedian was never his first intention. ‘It was an accident,’ he claims. ‘I was a funny musician and an actor and I wanted somewhere to do some impro and I was talking to someone and they said I should go down to the Last Laugh in Melbourne and do Le Joke because you get two beers for doing five minutes. That was 26 years ago‌’ While Pommy may have started working for beer, these days things are a little different. In fact, this rough and tough standup comedian has donned the blue singlet and stepped into the cabin of a truck. It’s all part of his bigger plan to keep himself busy and to stay sober. ‘I got off drugs and alcohol and you need to keep busy.’ Being a comedian means that there’s a heck of a lot of downtime. Working 40 minutes three or four times a week can take its toll. It’s very easy to indulge in a fairly hedonistic existence. Pommy agrees. ‘Its like you’re waggin’ school and if you wag without a mate you are bored off your nut.’ And that’s usually when the trouble starts.

GROSS PROPHETS

Woolies have finally arrived. Last Wednesday the gates of Mordor slid back and Fresh Food People greeted the eager shoppers of Mullumbimby to their gleaming new store. Who would have thought that Hell would be so clean? So shiny? And what a coincidence that the roundabout which took a year to craft should open the very same week! Perhaps it is the Magic Roundabout! An entire year of roadworks and delays, blokes with stop signs – a year of inconvenience, obstruction, dust and fences. All this to create one relatively small and inconsequential road device. I was thinking that perhaps they’d employed a crew of tantric roadworkers unable to make it to roundabout climax. They seemed to be having some trouble with the concept of ‘round’. But, finally, we the people of Mullumbimby can drive around in circles (or at least a misshapen triangle) like the rest of Australia! Our very own roundabout takes us straight to shopper wonderland! The people of Mullumbimby rejoiced. They gathered in droves, the brainless, the valuedeficient, the shortsighted and the self-interested, all keen to snatch up a bargain. They drove in their carbon-munching cars and enjoyed some nice neat parking. So what if the butcher goes broke, or the chemist, or the fruit shop? Why focus on the misery or misfortune of others when you’re having so much fun choosing just which car spot you’re going to use. It was impressive to see just how many shoppers there were. Thank you, super-rich multinational company, for bringing us the lower prices only a market monopoliser and destroyer of competitors can bring. I mean why lament the demise of our main street, as businesses fail and shops close, when you can huddle around your groceries purring ‘but it’s so cheap’. Yes, it is. It’s amazing how cheap your groceries are when you frequent the aisles of a corporate giant who is able to bully local councils, state governments, and close roads for over a year. If you don’t think about the moral impact then I’m sure it’s incredibly gratifying. I mean why would you want to pay extra for your produce when you know that money isn’t going into the pockets of shareholders or CEOs, but to farmers? I mean who are farmers

anyway? It’s not like they have anything to do with food supply. Why not send them broke and then buy all their farms…hang on, I think someone’s already come up with that. Dairy farmers are now paying us to drink their milk. It’s a privilege for them if we even consider stocking it in our fridge. I walked around Mullumbimby the other day feeling really sad that so few people seemed to care about the big picture. It seems that self-interest always wins. Supermarkets don’t create cheaper groceries because they’re a benevolent and caring organisation. They screw the competition with lower prices, and once the market has been decimated they make their profits by raising the bar. Woolies is not a not-for-profit organisation. It’s a giant cash hoover that is going to suck our local dollars right out of the town. Local money going to local business means the money stays here. Woolies is a cash portal right into the back pockets of shareholders and investors. After 100 years of using the goodwill of this town Mallams sold the village of Mullumbimby to the highest bidder. I can’t even imagine the kind of price you get on a DA approved supermarket site in a volatile social and demographic hotspot like Mullum. Anyway I won’t shop there. I will never shop there. They could offer me free groceries for a decade and I wouldn’t relent. And it’s not like I don’t need cheap groceries. I have five kids and we’re on a super-tight budget. My muesli might cost more but it’s guilt free. So they can take their irradiated botoxed food and stick it where the sun don’t shine. Vote with your wallet and support independent local business.

The decision to go back to truck driving between gigs was purely by accident. ‘The drummer from Uncanny XMen turned up to my place with a fridge I was buying…I said fuck, I know you and he said I’m a muso – we worked out we had done gigs years before… and he said mate there’s nothing to do between gigs, you need to do something so I went and got my truck licence.’

used to ask him his advice and if he said it was stuffed I knew that it would be shit hot on stage.’

Living in a world populated mainly by comedians can be the deathnell for the average comedian. Where once their material was grounded in real-life experiences, suddenly all they have to share is what it’s like being a comedian and the loneliness of 3-star hotels and an empty bar fridge. Having a real job not only keeps Pommy sober, it keeps him connected to his crowd.

As for politics…

‘You have to be social. You need to be around humans. If you aren’t around them then you are with the aliens and they have nothing to say. It’s better to be with the humans, although they do taste a bit funny…’

After 26 years as a comedian are there any dreams not yet fulfilled?

So how do comedians know what will work on stage and what doesn’t? In the early days Pommy used to rely on a mate as his humour barometer. ‘I have known this guy since we were 10 – we still share a house – and he’d go you can’t do that, do that one, and the stuff I’d want to do would do well and the stuff that he liked would die. So I

So what’s so funny about Pommy Johnson? ‘I just look funny – I just make myself laugh, it’s childish 2-year-old sandpit humour; it’s what makes you laugh…’ ‘Ah, I hate politics. They are that fucking stupid they write themselves…people go yeah you’re right…I fucking hate politics, that’s why I’m not allowed to have a handgun, I’d be too busy reloading…’

‘I used to have dreams, then I realised I was eating cheese before bed so I stopped that.’ Pommy Johnson, livewire standup comedian – park the Valiant, hang the fluffy dice, the man is on. Monday at the Byron Services Club with support Paul McMahon and MC Mandy Nolan.

Following the success of last year’s Last Hope, comes a new surf film experience with live music by The Windy Hills. Songs from the Ether features projections from two new surf film projects, Andrew Kidman’s Lost in the Ether and Patrick Trefz’s Idiosyncrasies. The Windy Hills will accompany these films with tracks from their eerie yet euphoric new record Friend from Another Star. Whilst Andrew Kidman is known widely for his visual pursuits – creating films inspired by the ocean – he has also always written and performed their soundtracks. His legendary film Litmus, released in 1995, was a turning point in Australian surf filmmaking, depicting the culture with an open-mindedness largely foreign to the genre. In that same language his films Glass Love (2005) and Last Hope (2010) documented surfing in a new light – behind each film was its own striking score. Kidman’s own home, nestled on a rural property near the town of Uki, 40 minutes’ drive inland from Byron Bay, provided a backdrop for the conception of their second album. Recorded over three years by Jay Kruegner in a small studio in nearby Mullumbimby, Friend From Another Star is more muscular, varied and considered than previous releases – some songs wilder, some cleaner, some soft with acoustics and warm with Americana. While not directly inspired by the ocean, it possesses a fluidity and escapist quality that echoes the band’s shared passion and connection with the sea. The Windy Hills at the Byron Brewery Buddha Bar on Friday.

The Paper Scissors rock Byron In the age of 3:30 digital singles, The Paper Scissors are cutting against the grain with their new album In Loving Memory. A creation for lovers of long-form albums that flow from start to finish, the record brings together a range of influences and topics to create a truly incisive soundscape. The songs were written during the band’s travels: from home in Sydney to as far away as Queens, New York, in various studios and via email through numerous long sessions. Jai Pyne has written lyrics about a range of topics from family, love, drunkenness, alcoholism, death, sex, the ocean, weather, isolation and more, bringing a disparate collection of musings into one of the most coherent and focused

collections of songs from an Australian band this year. ‘We’ve shed any insecurities and have pieced together an album that embodies us as a band,’ explains Jai. ‘The way our sound has evolved and the fact that it reflects our learning and growth explains why it’s taken so long to make this album.

So roll up ladies and gentlemen, as Rapskallion cannonball their way on to the legendary Coorabell hall stage with support by the haunting cabaret chanteuse Ivy Lucille. Come along and be seduced by their special brand of wild junkyard waltzes, take-me tangos, rambunctious punk rock polkas and old-world romance to pump the blood and warm the bones! Reminiscent of 20s Paris Bohemia transported to a Romanian tavern and then set adrift on the high seas, Rapskallion are Tom Waits in a torn tutu…Coorabell Hall on Friday, 8pm, tix $15/18 at the door. Food by Open Table.

Hearing Red Little Red’s sophomore album Midnight Remember has gone Gold, their single Rock It took over the airwaves, went Platinum and scooped the #2 spot on Triple J’s Hottest 100 (which also featured a second single Slow Motion) and they’ve played some of the best shows of their lives.

performances everywhere from New York City to Papua New Guinea. The experiences of these past months will all find their way into the ALL MINE TOUR and make for shows which are not to be missed. Little Red at the Hotel Great Northern on Thursday.

Willing at the Rails Singing songs about one-horse towns, rodeo clowns and girls with holes in their stockings, the Hick-Ups have breathed new life into antiquated styles such as country swing, the heel-andtoe polka and the cowboy waltz. Using a foundation of double bass, stripped-down drums and acoustic guitar, the Hick-Ups are a cranking country folk band. Add Jimmy Willing, the long tall storyteller, and let him loose to weave his tales and you have showtime. This is an unforgettable act; they broke the mould after making the Hick-Ups. Friday at the Rails.

Horn Among the Roses Sharny Russell is one of Australia’s finest Jazz singers and a respected pianist. She teams up with Elizabeth Lord, well known for her exquisite vocal abilities and warm presentation, and John Hoffman, master of the flugelhorn and band maestro. This is a rare combination for a jazz show and brings an intimacy and closeness of vocals not usually heard in the improvisational realm. Elizabeth and Sharny harmonise and swap lines with consummate ease, as well as sitting back while the other takes a song into her own zone. Hoffman complements this atmosphere with artistry and sensitivity, as only a musician of his calibre could. Not all arrangements are written, so arrangement on the spot is what you will hear on this evening with Horn Among the Roses. Saturday at the Mullum Bowlo at 7.30pm, tix are $15.

Cookin’ in Ballina Fronted by charismatic namesake Chris Cook, who plays energetic country guitar, skillful and toe-tapping fiddle and highly polished bluegrass/hillbilly banjo, the Chris Cook Band presents the professional skill of many years’ experience for audiences of all ages – playing a mixture of slow and steady oldtime dances, energetic and boisterous rock ’n’ roll and fast and furious country rock/alt country/rockabilly. Saturday at the Ballina Golf Club from 7.30pm.

Her first release Full Hearts and Empty Rooms debuted at number one on the AIR distribution charts and spawned her first single Jungle, which received national radio airplay. And although the songstress is in the midst of a national sold out tour with new friends, Boy & Bear, Byron Bay can get excited to be on her first run of forthcoming headlining shows. Emma Lousie plays Treehouse on Friday with local up-and-coming songstress Tori Lee, from 6.30pm and it’s all free.

Forever Young The Byron Shire Youth Memorial Project are a small team of local youths and parents who have each been touched by some of the many recent deaths in the young community.

Weaving his Webb The critical acclaim Jimmy Webb has received during his more than forty years of success is as remarkable as the accomplishments they honour: he is a member of the National Academy of Popular Music Songwriters’ Hall of Fame, the Nashville Songwriters’ Hall of Fame and, according to BMI, his By The Time I Get To Phoenix has been the third most performed song from the 60s until 1990, with Up, Up and Away on the same

list in the top thirty. Webb’s, Wichita Lineman has been listed in MOJO magazine’s worldwide survey of the best one hundred singles of all time in the top fifty, and was singled out in the Oct/Nov 2001 issue of Blender as ’The Greatest Song Ever’. You know I always thought it was Glen Campbell, but the great songs Galveston etc were his! He was even responsible for the classic Up Up and Away. This will be a very special concert by one of the greatest contemporary songwriters of our era. Byron Theatre, Community Centre, Saturday 9 July.

Here Comes the Sun Sun Hyland’s debut album Wake Up features songs ranging in style from roots reggae to folk hop and even devotional funk.

Music that unites and inspires. Sun’s passionate heartfelt vocals are the perfect complement to his warm and funky acoustic grooves.

Adelaide’s Oldest Fringe Virgin to Edinburgh But first stop: The Courthouse! Andreea Kindryd’s Slavery To Star Trek hopes to duplicate her 2011 Adelaide success at Edinburgh when she tells her stories of runaway slave ancestors, personal experiences with Martin Luther King and Malcolm X during the civil rights era, plus stories from her time working on the original Star Trek. The living history was warmly received in Adelaide, including a four-star review from The Advertiser's Tory Shepherd who said: ‘This is comedy, and history, drama and politics unfurling in front of you.’ Influenced by her civil rights background, when she reached Sydney in 1974 she started working with Indigenous activists. An award-winning documentary filmmaker, Andreea changed track, working with the Indigenous NAISDA Dance College, and helping launch Bangarra Dance Theatre, Australia’s first professional Indigenous international touring company. She then went on to teach conflict resolution for the Conflict Resolution Network, and Mediation to a few hundred lawyers, counsellors and lay people while getting a diploma in Conflict Resolution from Macquarie University during the nineties. At 68 she started performing standup before deciding storytelling was just the right fit for her. ‘At this age (72) I’m excited to have a new project, a new passion. Now is the time to make a positive contribution to living history. I want to be doing this and teaching it to others when I’m 90.’ I’ve worked with Andreea and I can attest that she’s funny, warm and totally amazing. See her at the Courthouse in Mullumbimby on Saturday at 7pm. And if you like the show you pay afterwards what you think it’s worth!

Friends of the Circus and Circus Arts Byron Bay are holding their next actionpacked Circus Showcase on Thursday.

WEDNESDAY 29

1. Time magazine described the Bollywood stunner Devdas (SBS2, Friday, 9.30pm) as the best flick of 2002. Full of loving and longing and beautiful people. 2. Way back when Woody Allen was funny, he made a wonderful film starring Diane Keaton called Annie Hall (ABC2, Saturday, 8.30pm). Then his female co-stars were only half his age. 3. The likeable Kevin McCloud fronts a new season of Grand Designs (ABC1, Sunday, 7.30pm), a program about using too many natural resources to accommodate too few people. Pretty to watch, though.

A SHARON SHOSTAK FILM

MUSIC COMPOSED AND PERFORMED BY JAMES DODS AND GUNTIS SICS

ECHODOCO

REVIEWS Kung Fu Panda 2 I couldn’t help nodding off a couple of times during this monotonous and predictable caper. On the occasions that I did, I was rudely awakened by yet another almighty battle, with its mandatory explosions and big music. We’d not reached the halfway point when I got the feeling that I was watching an animated

version of Fast and Furious – for a movie that is ostensibly about finding inner peace and achieving that mystic Chinese equanimity, there is, Grasshopper, a hell of a lot of fighting. It is the responsibility of Po the panda, with his gang of five, to save the Valley of Peace from the tyrannical Lord Shen, an albino peacock who has at his disposal the horrifying new technology

BORN TO BE TROUBLE

of the cannon. Po’s learning the identity of his father is intended to be the deep and meaningful subtext but, try as I might, I simply could not get involved – I wonder if it is because the screenplay was cobbled together by ten writers, a sure recipe for a schemozzle. Nor was I taken by the animation itself. The town on the river, with meticulous attention paid to architecture, is splendid, but the characters are less than convincing. There is something (to my eye) not right about them. Anatomical accuracy is never expected in a cartoon (indeed, it is understandably by-passed), but a sense of there being something tactile, something of flesh and blood should be the goal. Instead, they all looked ‘flat’ (the Tigress especially), like creatures from Crazy Clark’s all cut from the same cloth. Compounding this problem are the voicings. A star-studded line-up, including Angelina Jolie, Dustin Hoffman, Gary Oldman, Jackie Chan and Seth Rogen, is entirely colourless – the producers might have roped in any unemployed crew from central casting for all the vitality they contribute. But it is an unusually subdued Jack Black as Po who disappoints most. Love him or loathe him, a watered-down Black is no Black at all. Maybe he wasn’t into it either. ~ John Campbell

that most strictly demands a suspension of disbelief on the part of its audience. It is the intangible ingredient that has allowed us to recognise the ‘reality’ of a host of unforgettable characters, from Mickey Mouse’s Steamboat Willie (1928), through to the Oscar-winning wascally wabbit, Bugs Bunny, and Eddie Murphy’s fabulous Donkey in the Shrek series. So talking animals on screen are not new to us – we have grown up with them and keenly enter their parallel universes. But could we possibly relate to cars? Given that there are no human beings involved here, it is a remarkable achievement by Pixar/Disney and its artists to have breathed life, and I mean body and soul, into inanimate metal and chrome. Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson) and his rusted tow-truck buddy Mater (Larry the Cable Guy) are back, but this time they have left the tumbleweed town of Radiator Springs and ventured to Japan, France, Italy and England to take part in the World Grand Prix, a contest organised to pit a new organic fuel against gasoline. Inadvertently, they get mixed up in international espionage (the plot might be a tad complicated for the littlest kids) when Finn McMissile (Michael Caine) and Holly Shiftwell (Emily Mortimer) mistake Mater for a fellow agent in pursuit of a mysterious villain who is eliminating fellow competitors. But for all of its intrigue and sophistication, it is the superb visuals and consistent, distinctive characterisations that keep the momentum in top gear. At the heart of the story, the relationship between McQueen and the unappreciated but wise Mater is completely credible, as is the ongoing duel between McQueen and Francesco (John Turturro), the conceited Italian Formula One racer (a real scene stealer). Topical, witty, frenetically paced and with an irresistible bounce (the nocturnal Tokyo segment, in which Weezer perform the Cars’ You Might Think, is as exuberant as anything I’ve seen all year), this is a terrific movie. Go on, take the ride. ~ John Campbell

Mungo’s Crossword If end-of-week new-moon eclipse in Cancer instigates a trip down Memory Lane, let it be a reminder of how much you’ve grown. And/or an indicator of where you haven’t…

WITH LILITH

E ARIES: Make your home zone cozy and spend as much time as possible there this week. Watch what you say and who you say it to. Don’t be pressured, but do be prepared to make concessions. Yes, it’s a dance, so do it with style. F TAURUS: With everyone easily offended and reactive as crackerjacks, this week carries a Handle With Care tag. Your least effective strategy is stubbornness, your most effective self-critiquing because this week has splendid, if somewhat confronting, potential for examining the ancestral patterns we all inherit. G GEMINI: Mars in your sign wants action, but if others are sensitive don’t push it – this touchy-feely week requires nonconfrontational empathy. As always self-censoring saves a truckload of trouble, so think twice before hitting Send. Sleep on it and rewrite. Better still, don’t even rewrite. H CANCER: End-of-week Cancer new moon is this year’s portal for launching your wish-list into the sea of possibility, so review last year’s trials and triumphs, then choose what you want to deliver into the world and the best way of doing it. Bonne chance! I LEO: Which would you prefer: a caress with a feather or slap with a wet calamari? Sure it’s a no brainer, but should existence give you an unexpected backhander this week, your brief is to work out how to seduce the universe into following up with a sweetener. J VIRGO: This week could see you adjusting your direction, job, partner, heart or mind. Give positive change a leg up by clearing clutter, booking a ticket or making that call. A dash of sass will also help sort problems that aren’t, despite those positive visualisations, going away. K LIBRA: While creature comforts, domestic pleasures and the call of the couch are compelling, there’s no escaping this

Elite chess tournaments are frequently held in exotic places but rarely one as isolated, nor as beautiful, as the fifth Medias Kings tournament which concluded this week in Romania. To reach the Transylvanian town of Medias involves five hours of mountain driving from the Romanian capital Bucharest, so it is not surprising that the only spectators who came to watch superstars such as Magnus Carlsen and Vassily Ivanchuk in action were curious locals. Carlsen has won almost every Grand Slam tournament in which he has competed for the past two

week’s midyear stocktake of what to let go of and what could take its place. Reach out if you need to – it’s also a great time for repairing relationships. L SCORPIO: Following midwinter’s shortest day and longest night this week’s designed for earthlings to rest, nest and test domestic relationships, because there’s no place like home for modeling tolerance, patience, and don’t forget humour. If reason and logic aren’t doing the job, speak from the heart. M SAGITTARIUS: The year’s midpoint is for review and assessment. Are you on track? If not, what course corrections would be beneficial? Your sponsor planet Jupiter in Taurus for the foreseeable future spells practical expansion, with this week attracting unorthodox people to oxygenate your thinktank with fresh ideas. N CAPRICORN: Driving yourself hard and fast isn’t healthy or kind – besides, après solstice week is for introspective assessment. Everything mightn’t be going your way, but consider the many things that are. Despite demanding friends and relationship wrangles, this week’s about home and family – whatever that is for you. O AQUARIUS: Aquarians are ideas people and this is a feeling week. You might think you’re reasonable, but be advised that the Aquirkyan brand of reasonableness can make others quite emotional. So forget logic and tune into feelings – sharing yours more freely will get best results. P P ISCES: If you find others unsympathetic to your concerns this week, perhaps it’s because they have plenty of their own. But for whatever friendships falter, others will deepen. So follow the joy, stay with the love and don’t worry about connecting with the rest.

Victoria Cosford The wistfully misty day I drove out to the back of Nimbin to visit Nimbin Valley Dairy was composed of small pleasures. Meeting owners Kerry and Paul was one; the black labrador puppy Kerry tried to persuade me to take away with me another; the goats grazing in a landscape of lush pasture, ponds, mountains and valleys another again. But it was possibly the potatoes smothered in molten cheese trotted down by Kerry to the dairy where Paul was stirring a vat of soon-tobe camembert that charmed me most. ‘It’s our raclette-style Running Cow,’ he explained. Raclette! In a swoop of memory it came rushing back to me, Balmain in the early nineties, Bruce Butcher’s wonderful cheese shop filled with exotic cheeses, and Bruce himself telling me I should host the latest thing, a raclette party. Naturally some ten minutes later I exited his shop clutching a small electric grill complete with a series of wedge-shaped trays, a hunk of cheese and a mental shopping list for items like potatoes and gherkins. I duly held my raclette party for a handful of friends and we all concluded it was fun, albeit gimmicky; need I say that the grill was never employed again? Raclette-dining is similar to fondues. The actual word refers both to the type of cheese, a faintly nutty cheese with excellent melting properties, and the dish itself. Both are indigenous to parts of Switzerland and the Savoie region of France, and derive from the tradition of Swiss cowherders who in the evenings would place the cheese next to the campfire and, when soft, scrape it on to bread. (The French verb racler means to scrape.) Dried or cured meats, pickled onions and gherkins are the usual accompaniments alongside the mandatory boiled potatoes. Kerry had actually arranged slices of their own ‘home-made’ corned beef beside the baking dish of cheesy potatoes, which is another lovely possibility.

The Italians have their own savoury version called fonduta which may include the luxury of truffles and egg yolks, as well as bagna cauda, a garlicky-anchovy-butter-flavoured oil in which to suspend fresh vegetables. The Chinese call their rendition Hot Pots, the Malaysians Steamboats and the Japanese Shabu Shabu – although these Asian interpretations consist on the whole of a simmering stock into which thinly sliced meats, tofu, sprouts, vegetables and some form of starch are introduced. Communal eating, and very jolly too if that is how you like to dine.

I did love Kerry’s take on it though, my fork stabbing into creamy cheese-topped potato then a slice of corned beef in the comfortable company of these goat-rearing, cheese-making men, in much the same way, I imagine, as I would have loved a raclette or a fondue in a tiny Swiss Alpine village.

For such a cheese-lover as myself, it did seem out of character that I did not embrace

the raclette fad more vigorously – but my objection had more to do with the ritual of interaction. I understand that this is a very social – and sociable – mode of dining, everyone clustered around a common font of comestibles, but there is something unbounded about it all, like all-you-can-eat buffets, that bothers me. I’m just not really much of a team player. And fondues are the same. Another Swiss/French notion, these too consist of melted cheese which is then applied to other ingredients. The 1960s and early 70s were very big fondue years when it was common to find a fondue set in a modern kitchen, complete with the longhandled forks used to dunk chunks of bread into a simmering pool of wine- or kirschflavoured cheese. Then came the variations, the chocolate fondues which required you to spear ripe fruits like strawberries and bananas and tangerines and dip them into liquid chocolate. Presumably these were the forerunner of the chocolate fountain.

The restaurant on Pitt Street will accommodate around 180 diners on two levels, with an eclectic mix of booths and colourful chairs to complement Jamie’s modern twist on classic Italian elements. Fresh pasta will be turned out daily from a pasta machine located in the front window, and affordable pastas, authentic Italian mains and antipasti will be offered in a rustic Italian ambience. It will be the first of a series planned for Australia. Since opening its first restaurant in Oxford in May 2008, Jamie’s Italian has become one of the biggest success stories in high street eating in the UK due to quality of food and service and affordability. There are 18 of the restaurants in the UK and one in Dubai. Presumably, one doesn’t go to these restaurants expecting Jamie Oliver himself to actually be there!

Byron wins but Bangalow and Shiners suffer at the hands of weekend union Dean Trevaskis

DJ Longtime

The Mullum Moonshiners hosted the Iluka Cossacks on Saturday. With both sides struggling for wins this season there was plenty to play for. Iluka scored in the opening minutes. Mullum hit back with a penalty and then snatched the lead when big Wally Andrews broke the line and scored a five-pointer. Scott HazlewoodPotts playing second row was outstanding and showed his commitment to the cause by snapping a broken nose back into place, wiping away the claret and charging back into the fray. Iluka dominated second half possession and added another converted penalty to reduce Mullum’s lead to two points. Despite mighty efforts by props Dave Dixon and Lachlan Stubbings the Shiners were struggling to get out of their own forty. Mullum looked like a battered boxer ahead on points clinging on for the final bell. As the final scrum of the day was packed the ref said ‘We

Byron Bay maintained their perfect eight from eight record in Village Rugby this season with a 21-10 home win against a spirited Murwillumbah on Saturday. The Bay’s Coach Warren Fisher made six changes to the team that defeated Bangalow the previous week and the incoming players all made positive statements about their future selection in the team. If anything Byron Bay played their most clinical rugby this year in the opening 25 minutes of the game. Competing against a much larger opposition pack that committed numbers to each breakdown, the home side patiently recycled possession and shifted their attack across the full width of the field. Inevitably Murwillumbah were either caught short in defence or found their forwards marking Byron Bay’s outside backs. Tom Sandstrom opened the scoring after an outrageous goose-step set up an unimpeded run down the right wing.

Bangalow travelled to Evans Head needing a win to maintain fourth place. Bangalow came out looking hungry but handling errors killed off any hope of controlling the game early. Evans gained enough possession to stick with the visitors and both teams traded penalties until finally before the end of the half, half back Kerry Jennings found winger Michael Buckley with enough

are into the last minute’. Iluka then delivered a Cossack kick to Mullum’s Jatz Crackers with a try in the final play of the day to register a very gutsy 13 – 10 victory. The Shiners were understandably gutted. In the early game, the under 19s faced the powerful Casino side who got on the board early – but Mullum showed plenty of skill and spirit against a significantly bigger side. Vinnie Quigley debuted with a domi-

nant performance that included a try. Lachlan Stubbings led the forward charge, and helped himself to a five-pointer. Shawn Watlay was also excellent. The final score was a respectable 31– 14 Casino’s way. With a wealth of outstanding talent rising through from the Brunswick Valley Juniors the Shiners U19s showed they could mix it with the best in the competition and retain a good chance of reaching the semis.

space five metres out to score.

Evans’s credit they attacked through their backs at will and started to make inroads. Poor discipline and defence let Evans back into the game. Two yellow cards were awarded to Bangalow players in the last ten minutes and Evans scored a try and more penalties to be one point up with five minutes remaining.

The half time score showed Bangalow up 11–6. In the second half Bangalow continued to dominate in the forwards. Opportunities for further points came and went but eventually after continuous pressure from the forwards second rower Chris Davies crashed over for a try in the corner. Up 16–6 it looked to be the turning point of the game. To Crombie,T Richards. Second Round winners: Murwillumbah; N Love, M Kennedy, J Lawson, L Bland.

Powerhouse forward Dean Standage laid on the second try by drawing five defenders in midfield and presenting the ball expertly to a well-positioned backline. On the end of the play was versatile leftwinger David Ryan who made the most of acres of space to score untouched. The Bay took their lead out to 18 points when the everdangerous Sandstrom was held up inches from the line before offloading cleverly to David’s brother Dan Ryan whose massive frame could not be denied from close range. Wanting to avoid a repeat of their 30-point loss in the first round, the visitors responded with newfound purpose and scored a deserved try just before the break. Ten minutes into the second half Byron Bay’s usually reliable defence opened up like a bad fly-screen in a gale to allow Murwillumbah a very soft solo try. At 18-10 an unlikely upset was looming.

Soon after Standage was late tackled and left the field with a dislocated elbow. Byron captain Josh Smith suffered a sickening facial cut from Murwillumbah hard man Matt Alexander and tempers flared at every tackle in the second half. But the Bay have developed winning habits and they comfortably protected their lead during a tense and physical final 15 minutes of the match. Flankers Peter Shaw and Michael Armstrong were among the best for Byron. Centre Sean Reilly and winger Sandstrom were also particularly lively. The best for Bay was probably new second-rower Logan Melville who has come of the bench recently but looked every inch a starting player. Next the Shiners are at home, tackling Evans River at 2.30pm. Byron travel to Iluka; they have not beaten the fisherman away during the last three seasons and will be hoping for sweet revenge on Saturday.

Four for happy Chappy in Devils’ derby romp John Campbell

With socks around his ankles and gliding around with typical insouciance, Byron centre Michael Chapman crossed for four tries in the Red Devils’ 36-4 defeat of the Mullumbimby Giants at Les Donnelly Field on Sunday. The win has kept Byron Bay in the top five of the NRRRL Reserve Grade ladder and, with coach Elijah Colby’s squad settled and growing in confidence, they just might give the comp a shake. Ravaged by injury, the home side was unable to match their visitors’ enterprise and execution in an untidy game spiked by local derby needle. Indeed, an all-in brawl simmered for most of the second half and, with the outcome apparent from a fair way out, there was a palpable sense of anticlimax among those in the western bleachers when the full-time siren blew without it eventu-

Suns still finding their AFL feet With the sun shining over Metricon Stadium for an afternoon game on Saturday against the Western Bulldogs, it was the battle of the football codes with the NRL Titans playing just down the road. Which code was more popular? Well the AFL attracted around 3,000 more spectators to watch the Gold Coast Suns put up another good fight on home turf. The Bulldogs went into this week’s game with a firm chance of a win and under siege, but Saturday’s win will certainly take some pressure off coach Rodney Eade and the team for at least another week.

A 22-point win was not an overly great victory for the Doggies, but a spirited comeback by the Suns in the last quarter after the Bulldogs led by more than eight goals during the third quarter. The Suns were able to master up some great football and kick six of the seven final quarter goals kicked. Bulldogs fans must have thought that their luck had changed at one point of the game when the Suns’ midfielder Michael Rischitelli provided some comedy for the crowd but not for the Suns when he captured the centre clearance and kicked the ball 60m the wrong way – which assisted With a bagful of possessions including two goals, legend in the Bulldogs with a joyous goal courtesy Sun’s midfielder. the making Gary Ablett lead The Suns meet Fremantle next his team in a great effort which week at Patterson Stadium. saw the Doggies only win by 22 points.

the ruck, but they spoilt their steady start by gifting Mullum the first try. Full-back Bill Lowrie gathered a grubber on his line but then generously dropped the pill for bearded Jake Wood to fall on. Second-rower Brett Harvey responded for the Devils by unceremoniously sitting a couple of would-be tacklers on their bums before touching down under the sticks. Mullum’s ageless prop, Adam ‘noknees’ McKenzie, was in the thick of the ensuing fracas and followed up in the next set by flattening Tim Black, forcing the Byron number twelve to leave the field wounded. Soon after, five-eighth Adam Gordon put Lowrie into space and Chapman was there in support to open his account. He racked up his second four-pointer almost immediately when, chasing a kick from Gordon, the ball bounced wickedly into his mitts.

The Giants, relying heavily on veterans McKenzie and Scott Hogan for their grunt and spark, began the second half with enthusiasm, but Gordon, doing a fabulous Owen Craigie impersonation, stepped and jinked from a scrum win in Mullum’s twenty to set up his hooker, Ben Webber. Suddenly it was 22-4 and the disgruntled local barrackers began to openly question the Devils’ sexual orientation. Long incursions by Lowrie and winger Dwayne ‘Drano’ Cahill through threadbare defence kept the Giants on the back foot before Chapman notched his hat-trick with an unopposed stroll to the line. A late, desperate chip from Hogan took a deflection and lobbed to that man Chapman again, who gratefully sprinted eighty metres to the posts. Desultory heckles from Mullumbimby stalwarts could not sour the Devils’ crushing victory.

A BIG THANK YOU

Last week we ran a thank you ad for all those who contributed to making the Echo Awards such an outstanding event. Mandy Nolan wrote the ad herself. And so the person who did the most for our 25th birthday celebrations wasn’t even on the list of contributors!

The Echo thanks Mandy

for designing, organising and promoting the Awards far beyond the call of duty, and for a sparkling performance on the night. Looking forward to the next one!

This gorgeous white and grey Manx is just two years old. He is so named due to his stumpy tail which is indicative of the breed. Stumpy was surrendered as his owner could no longer care for him. Being quiet and shy he would make an ideal family pet, however hunting is in the DNA of this breed so he may be an expert ratter. A good all rounder, come and meet Stumpy at the Cat Adoption Centre, 124 Dalley St, Mullumbimby. Open Tues. 9–11am, Thurs. 3–5pm and Sat. 10-12 noon. Call AWL on 6684 4070.

The property cycle keeps moving forward Liam Annesley

Cyclic information – and the positioning of a market in the property cycle – is useful to the timing of buy and sell decisions. The Byron Bay market can best be described as a buyers

market and I have never seen it this good. Prices have now leveled out and house prices are the lowest in years. Buyers are in the best position; they should take advantage of this before the upswing. The peak occurs when demand exceeds total supply, and both prices and rents can be expected to rise. The opposite is when there is an oversupply of properties for sale. At midpoint through a downswing there is generally a supply-demand match but it is a cautious buyer’s market; while at the midpoint of an upswing, supply has tended to tighten but buyers have a more optimistic outlook. Some buyers hold off too long in an upswing and the cycle again peaks all too often and buyers get left behind. As a buyer, I’d prefer to be acting in what I could best determine to be the latter half of the down swing, and certainly before we’d passed the mid upswing point. Pacing the market is a good plan for buyers and sellers who can take in all the market information available. Astute property investors know that wealth is created in property at the time of purchase; buying at the right time in the cycle, such as now. Rental yields are another thing that will make properties attractive now. We are experi-

encing record months for property management and I expect the third and fourth quarters of 2011 to continue to show very good returns. Currently the enquiry rate from potential tenants is high. All rental properties fared well through the terrible weather and serious investors should know the importance in taking a different approach from buying a family home. An investment property is a financial decision; don’t fall in love with it; make sure you have received the necessary advice from financial advisers and

experts before moving ahead. In summary, make sure you are comfortable with the financial implications of your decision, do the research before buying an investment property, and put the property in the hands of people who will manage your investment rather than just the property. You want a property investment manager who understands your needs for a reliable income stream, maximum returns. t -JBN "OOFTMFZ JT B SFBM FTUBUF QSPGFTTJPOBM XJUI -+ )PPLFS #Z ron Bay.

PROPERTY PROMOTION

Upgrade your property investment strategy The great Australian dream of owning one’s home is an inadequate one in times of rising house prices, interest rates and costs of living. Ordinary Australians on average incomes must consider owning more than one property if they are to fund their retirement and ‘live the dream’. Says a leading property investment specialist with branches throughout Australia. Wendy Priestly, spokesperson at the Investors Club, which has researched and sourced 15,000 properties to thousands of average-income households as a free service, says, ‘Superannuation is often not enough. With share markets responsible for poorly performing super funds since 2008, Australians need to develop the skills and know-how to invest in alternative channels to support their retirement.’ Wendy says the widely held belief that you must have a high income to invest in property is a misconception. ‘Those thinking to invest must choose properties that will attract good capital growth and rental yields – this is what enables them to invest further.’ There are a number of reasons why most investors don’t buy beyond one investment property, Wendy says. ‘ABS figures show that 50 per cent of investors are postcode buyers. Buying in the area where your own home is ties you to the local property cycle – a poor strategy.’ Another poor strategy is investing in a bargain. ‘Buying an old, cheap property can be more expensive than buying a higher-priced one. The ongoing problems and maintenance associated with old properties are expensive and will discourage you from investing further. Buy new or renovated. ‘Property is widely regarded as a major vehicle for wealth creation; but it’s surprising the relatively small number of Australians who use this channel to fund their retirement,’ she says.
