Byronopoly players Origin to invest $6 billion in CSG

Today we feature news on some of the major landlords and landowners with significant property holdings in and around Byron Bay. Our coverage is sparked by The Echo’s view that despite public concerns about high commercial rents making life difficult for some small businesses, there is a decided lack of public knowledge about the landlords who own the properties. Some landlords are already relatively well known, like Tom Mooney, former footballer and publican of The Rails and The Great Northern.

In comparison, landlords like Eddie Phillips don’t have the same public profile, but are nevertheless important players in the local property market. Similarly Peter Croke has built a modest property empire while staying largely out of the public spotlight. The people and companies named in this week’s paper are by no means the only big players, and there are many smaller landlords too. And as other stories in this issue show, the buying and selling constantly under way in this investment market means ownership is changing all the time. While there are obviously important

issues around the high level of commercial rents, the paper’s naming of key players carries no suggestion of wrongdoing, and we’ve made every effort to talk directly with the people involved. The information about ownership comes from publicly available sources, including land titles and company searches. Some landlords are easy to indentify, others are much harder because of the way financial and property interests are sometimes arranged.

Art Expo draws the crowds

The owner of Country Energy has announced it intends to invest $6 billion in coal-seam gas exploration and exploitation over the next four years. Origin Energy, one of Australia’s largest energy retailers, also announced a $673m underlying profit for the financial year, an increase of 15 per cent over the previous year. ‘Significant contributions to the increase in underlying profit came from the newly acquired NSW energy businesses,’ the company announced in a media release. One of the NSW businesses acquired by Origin is Country Energy, the default electricity supplier to most households and businesses in the Northern Rivers. In the same release, Origin announced its intentions to significantly ramp up its commitment to coal-seam gas. ‘In July 2011, we took a final investment decision in respect of the Australia Pacific LNG CSG-to-LNG project. Origin’s 42.5 per cent share of the first

phase of the project requires investment of around US$6 billion over the next four years,’ the company said. Readers wishing not to contribute to the coffers of a company that supports CSG may be interested to know that it is now possible to change providers in most parts of our region. The challenge, however, is in finding a provider that does not invest in CSG.

Country Energy now owned by Origin In related news, the ABC reports that mining magnate Clive Palmer has come out strongly critical of CSG. He told the National Party’s Federal Council in Canberra that a leading Chinese firm had raised issues with him about the Australian industry, saying extraction techniques they abandoned 20 years ago are still being used here. A Senate inquiry is still examining the economic, social and environmental impacts of coal-seam gas. A decision is expected by Christmas.

NYE stays low key

Over 1000 art lovers visited the eighth running of the ever-growing Ocean Shores Art Expo over the weekend. Patrons were treated to 233 pieces of 2D and 3D works; the largest category, oil and acrylic, boasted over 80 pieces. New registrar Mandie Kilotat said the feedback was very positive, from first time artists and those who have been submitting art since the Expo started eight years ago. Mandie is pictured here with her favourite piece, a painting entitled Ceres by Lismore artist Dervis Pavlovic which she said moved her to tears. Photo Eve Jeffery.

This year’s New Year’s Eve celebrations in Byron Bay will be the same as last year after Council voted to maintain a low profile. The decision comes despite Byron’s Chamber of Commerce, Byron United, requesting at Council’s Thursday meeting that celebrations be ramped up. Vice-president Paul Waters addressed public access asking that more be done to provide more adequate celebrations for the town. Additionally, a discussion paper released by Byron United (BU) says that, ‘The time may now be right to move from a defensive strategy to a more proactive and positively inspiring approach that can deliver benefits to the entire community of Byron Bay and be an effective tool for a renewed

branding of Byron Bay as a peaceful, natural, environmentally sensitive region that is home to an inspiring and creative community.’ BU also acknowledged Council’s past defensive strategy that was ‘to break the mould and change the perception of Byron Bay as a new year’seve party town. Thankfully this has now been achieved.’ Crs Tucker and Woods also put forward a motion requesting that Council meet with BU ‘to investigate the feasibility of forming a working group to develop the 2011 New Year’s Eve event.’ Alcohol-free zones will be enforced, and road closures and traffic management will be put in place. Market stalls are planned for Apex Park with live entertainment and amusement rides.

Though public submissions for the clause attached to the Events Policy have now closed, it appears the battle is just heating up over the legalities of attaching it to Council’s Byron Local Environmental Plan (BLEP). ‘Unacceptable and bad planning policy’ is how town planning consultant Kate Singleton Pty Ltd described the ammendment to the Byron LEP, which aims to cap large-scale festivals and define the land it uses. Commissioned by Bluesfest, the town planner’s report from August 17, 2011 argues that, ‘It is unlikely that the DP&I (Department of Planning and Infrastructure) will support a local provision of this nature in the new Shire-wide LEP given that they have stated on numerous occasions that their policy position is not to introduce clauses which comprise heads of consideration.’

He added that, ‘No further The report concludes, ‘Given the current status of both the approval is required in relation draft Shire-wide LEP and the to these Directions.’ Part 3A Application for the North Byron Parklands site, it Draft LEP concerns: is submitted that Council must Council’s Ray Darney in any event defer proceeding Council’s executive manager with this draft amendment to of planning Ray Darney told Byron LEP 1988.’ The Echo, ‘Whether the amendAnti-competitive ment gets the department’s apBlues Festival director Pe- proval is yet to be determined ter Noble told The Echo that and all submissions will be conthe policy is potentially anti- sidered during the process.’ Mr Darney added he had competitive and a breach of the expressed concerns to Council Trade Practices Act. ‘(It’s) in the BSC Planning on how this provision could Department advice to the be translated into the template council for the meeting of Oc- LEP for the new Draft LEP. ‘The template limits special tober 10 last year.’ However last month, NSW clauses of which this amendplanning and Infrastructure ment could be considered one.’ However, Coalition for FesDeputy director Tom Gellibrand wrote to Byron Coun- tival Sanity (CFFS) spokespercil’s GM Graeme Faulkner and son Denise Nessel backs Mr advised the ‘planning proposal Gellibrand’s letter. ‘I don’t think that the state is considered to be consistent with… rural zones, lands, envi- (government) would have ronmental protection zones…’ given Council permission to

It is predicted that Audrey Woods found the strength to survive the first night on Thursday August 18, in extreme conditions with little clothing at temperatures as low as eight degrees. The second day, the search was called off on dark on Friday August 19. Later a young boy heard a voice coming from the river saying ‘help me’. The WestPac Helicopter returned at 7pm on that Friday along with the search crews to scour the river. The search continued until 10pm that Friday evening. The search continued throughout Saturday until her body was found in the late afternoon approximately 100

metres from her home. Audrey suffered with Alzheimer’s disease and was in the High Care Unit at Coolamon Villa. Our family would like to thank the police for their quick response in organising the search on Thursday evening August 18. I also thank the crews of the Brunswick Valley Rescue, the young boy, the Volunteer Rescue Association, the SES, the Westpac helicopter service, the fire department and the community of Mullumbimby for searching under their homes, yards, parks and the river banks. In addition, I give gratitude and thanks to my friend Grace Britton who became my copilot while I was driving from

CFFS say they support the proposed inclusion of a major events clause into the Byron LEP. Ms Nessel said, ‘For too many years there has been a lack of forward planning and control regarding the size and scale of major events in the Shire. ‘As these festivals have increased in size and duration, so too has their impact on residents, tourists, local communities, and the environment. ‘It is essential that Council implement LEP provisions to protect the unique nature of the Shire for the whole community.’ Ms Nessel asks for Council to strike an ‘equitable balance between the rights of residents to retain their current lifestyle and amenity and the desires of the promoters of large-scale, high-impact festivals.’

Local News Who owns Byron? Ray Moynihan

As the crisis in Byron’s commercial rent affordability bites, calls for landlords to consider rent reductions are coming from a growing number of figures in local business, politics and real estate. Mayor and state MLC Jan Barham says Byron rents are simply ‘too high,’ and local landlords are charging ‘beyond the viability’ of the area. ‘Landlords in Byron should be supporting reduced rents’ Barham told The Echo this week, ‘because tourism is seasonal and many small businesses are struggling in the current economic circumstances.’ Barham’s call was backed by local estate agent Rose Wanchap, who says she’s ‘astonished’ by rents and associated costs of up to $100,000 a year being charged, which seem ‘out of proportion’ to the business being conducted. Recently Ms Wanchap has been helping commercial tenants try to negotiate rent decreases with their landlords to try to keep their small businesses afloat. Tenancy contracts often include automatic annual increases on rents that are already high, making them untenable in hard financial times. For many small businesses, says Wanchap, ‘the weight of a

Calls to landlords to lower rents rent rise is the straw that breaks the camel’s back’ and she’s urging landlords to consider lowering rents, rather than letting premises sit vacant. One landlord contacted by The Echo agreed that commercial rents in Byron had been ‘too high’ for a while, and that there was evidence rents were now being lowered, though they declined to comment publicly, or give specific examples.

ants, landlords and agents. She says over the last two months some landlords have been more ‘conciliatory’, reducing rents or not implementing increases, although she was unable to provide details of any examples. For some tenants however, negotiation has clearly not worked. In one case the cost of rent that a national job search agency was paying to a local landlord

Some small shops in Byron are paying over $100,000 in rent per year Currently more than 40 commercial premises are listed as being available for rent in the town, including over 20 across the Byron’s CBD, some in prime locations, although these numbers are only a small proportion of the total. Byron’s Chamber of Commerce (Byron United) president Sevegne Newton told The Echo, ‘the fact we continue to have vacant premises in the centre of Byron’s CBD illustrates the fact that rents are too high.’ Ms Newton has been very publicly suggesting that if tenants are unable to get results via real estate agents, they should negotiate directly with their landlords – though she has a tricky balancing act as Byron United members include ten-

absolutely changing its culture.’ Comparing Byron’s commercial property market to a Monopoly board, Jan Barham said that in her view some ‘local landlords are sitting on gold mines’. Acknowledging that some landlords already contributed to the community in different ways, she suggested they might give more consideration to supporting the local area, by helping make rents for local businesses more viable. The Echo has sought comments from several landlords about whether or not they are considering reducing rents for their tenants, but Peter Croke is the only one to publicly state that he has negotiated rent decreases in recent times. Lismore is understood to have experienced some form of ‘correction’ in the costs of its commercial rents around the time of the global financial crisis, with cuts in some cases believed to be up to a third. But in Byron, while there are reports of some landlords offering rent holidays, or waiving the normally automatic annual increases, The Echo has not learned the details of any actual examples of decreases in commercial rents.

Unable to reach an agreement on reducing the rent before it located an alternative space, the job agency vacated the Byron Street premises, which remain empty to this day more than two years later. In another case a highly valued local business has been trying unsuccessfully to negotiate a rent decrease with a different local landlord, for a shop where rent and associated costs are over $100,000 a year. ‘High rents are helping squeeze out local businesses that are truly distinctive,’ says Q See also full interview with Mayor Jan Barham, ‘and they Rose Wanchap on page 17 and get replaced by franchises so the our feature Who owns Byron? town looks like everywhere else, on pages 18 – 19.

GFC blamed as Byron CBD property fails auction TAX RETURNS only $120 you have to let development go ahead. ‘You can’t stop development, but nobody want this to be the Gold Coast and everyone wants to maintain the integrity of this most beautiful place.

Story & photo Victoria Cosford and worried and I don’t think

A prime site in Byron Bay went to auction on Thursday but was passed in at $2.77 million. About 40 people collected in Jonson Street near the Byronian Cafe, part of the commercial holding, which also includes the shops Byron Bazaar and Jane Davenport’s Institute of Cute. Despite the fact that The Echo asked the principal bidder his name twice, he declined to give it. His only comment was that he was a ‘property person’ and that this was a ‘landmark property’. Property owner Edwin Phillips told The Echo that it was the second time the site had been put up for auction, but he felt very positive that it would sell. ‘I think it’s the best location in Byron Bay,’ he said. ‘There’s development potential plus plus plus. Why wouldn’t everyone be interested? It’s what they call a Triple A location. ‘The problem is we are in a GFC and everyone’s concerned

the Labor Government is helping at all.’ Mr Phillips said that his other property up for auction in Brunswick Heads had also passed in. ‘It’s still on the market and the market is very flat at the moment, as we’re in a GFC. ‘The only people doing any good today is the mining industry. But it’s the best site in Brunswick Heads. It will definitely sell and it’s only a matter of time.’ Mr Phillips said he was sick and tired of dealing with Byron Shire councillors. ‘I think they’re a bunch of useless bastards,’ he said. ‘Instead of fighting development, why not put in a fund to fix the roads, for example? ‘They’re like a third-world country and I’m not alone in that. Why spend all that money on a roundabout on an unnecessary corner when the roads are in such a state? ‘I’m an environmentally sen-

Should Byron have a second market again this year? According to the results of a recent survey, sixty-three per cent of stallholders voted in favour. The Byron Bay Community Market runs on the first Sunday of every month, and a second one was introduced last year with mixed feelings within the business community. The customer survey revealed that 57 per cent of visitors were returning shoppers, with 36 per cent being local Shire residents or from surrounding shires. In addition to the 63 per cent of stallholders in support of a second market, there were a further 18 per cent undecided.

Everyone who wants to do good to the human race always ends in universal bullying. – Aldous Huxley

According to The Byron Bay Community Centre – who manage the markets – the request for a second monthly market was initiated by the stallholders. ‘We haven’t done anything about approaching Council yet,’ GM Paul Spooner told The Echo. ‘The stallholders came to us a week ago with a petition of about 300 names calling for a second market.’ He added that the survey results ‘clearly reflected’ that it had been a very successful season of markets over the summer. The petition was presented to Council at Thursday’s meeting. Stallholder Suzie Mylecharane told The Echo that she knew most of the other stallholders wanted to go ahead with it. ‘It’s only one extra day a month,’ she said, ‘and we’re all business people too. The markets still maintain some of the early charm of Byron Bay that attracted people here in the first place. ‘To add an extra three markets a year throughout summer would not be a contributing factor to the difficult

economic times businesses are having‌ it is only three days a year. Stallholders are part of the Byron business community too, and a strong part of attracting people to the town on those Sundays.’

Business speaks Several shopkeepers to whom The Echo spoke did not agree. Preferring to remain anonymous, they were unanimous in their belief that the market had a negative impact on their businesses the day it ran. ‘I don’t think we need (a second market),’ one owner said. ‘We’re paying pretty big rents to be in town, and nobody comes into the shop when the markets are on. ‘We only ever have one person in the shop the Sundays the market is on.’ The manager of another shop confirmed that markets affected town business. ‘Market days it’s significantly quieter here,’ she said. ‘Also, the markets are special. I’ve lived here all my life and I think two a month is overkill.’ Owner of Collins Bookstore Sue Calder said that she did not work on weekends. ‘But I think it’s a No,’ she said. ‘It’s the taking away of the uniqueness of just the one market.’ Michelle, owner of

Cool Katz cafe, was another to express this sentiment. ‘I don’t think it’s beneficial to have two markets in a month,’ she told The Echo. ‘It loses its specialness.’ Interestingly, she said that tourists coming down from the Gold Coast for the markets result in ‘a kick-ass Sunday’ for the cafe. ‘Tourists know that it’s the first Sunday of the month and we always get an influx. We lose those tourists for the second market because they don’t know it’s on.’

High shop rents Another shop-owner mentioned huge differences in revenue when the markets were on, even going so far as to say that the Bangalow markets affected his business. ‘I’m not in favour of a second market,’ he said. ‘We’re paying these high rents.’ Co-owner of Reflections, Pip Tipping, said that her business is always affected. ‘Another market isn’t going to do anyone any favours at all,’ she said. Byron Chamber of Commerce, Byron United, has voiced opposition to a second market in the past. President Sevegne Newton told The Echo that with retailing going through its hardest times, Byron United did not think a second market was a

good idea. ‘It should be kept as an iconic market once a month,’ she said. ‘It will be watered down. ‘Also, Council has done nothing about offering permanent tenure to the Community Centre to run the markets. ‘It’s all done in an ad-hoc system and we think it’s unacceptable as a way of returning money for infrastructure and marketing. ‘They have a number of issues to address before thinking about a second market.’ Tane Allen has been selling hats at the markets for ten years. He told The Echo that it was totally unfair that Byron United criticise one side of the market. ‘It’s a free market,’ he said. ‘It’s very one-sided. They should encourage all businesses. It’s wrong to try to restrict people – it’s a local community thing and it’s mean. ‘I can only speak for myself and the results of the survey but I generally think a second market is a good idea. ‘In terms of revenue for local stallholders it’s a good thing. There’s another: turnover to make it viable to run. ‘The survey proved it was viable for the Community Centre plus the stallholders.’ The second market, which would operate every third Sunday, would be held between October and March if approved by Council.

Santos aims to develop local food sovereignty More than 40 farmers recently attended the Northern Rivers Local Growers Forum (NRLGF). The aim was to stimulate communication between Santos health foods and the local growers of the Northern Rivers. According to Santos CEO Dr Jean Boussard, discussion addressed the development of a local food production system, achieving a higher state of local food security, complementary practices, crop planning and supply management. He added there is a need to

develop strategies around delivery of produce, diversity of crops, consistency of supply, competitive pricing and bulk supply options. Joel Orchard, ethics controller for Santos, said that it’s everyone’s right for access to healthy food produced through ecologically and sustainable methods. ‘This system puts the aspirations and needs of those who produce, distribute and consume food at the heart of the systems and policies rather than in hands of global mar-

kets and corporations.’ The forum also talked of the need to challenge public perception that organic food is expensive. They agreed to introduce box-lines for customers who buy in bulk, and to promote the higher nutritional content and quality of organic food.

New cookbook reflects the region A community cookbook celebrating the abundance of fresh, local produce in the Byron Shire will be launched this Friday September 2 at at the Mullumbimby Farmers Market. Food for the Soul is a collection of more than 140 vegetarian recipes, beautifully woven together with food tales, seasonal blessings and delightful drawings all donated by local artists, food growers, business owners and family and friends of the school. Project co-ordinator Jodie Hewett says the intention behind the book is to provide easy and wholesome meal suggestions from within our community, based on seasonal produce, that suit the whole family.

‘Most people will know at least one if not many of the recipe contributors which I think adds a lovely intimate nature to the book,’ says Jodie. The book is a product of

Setup and judging will take place on Thursday September 8 and entry is not limited to society members –any community member wishing to enter an orchid can call club president Penny Fox on 6680 1600.

While the Byron Shire Council stands accused of trying to rid itself of unwanted festivals by tying them up in red tape, just a few kilometres to the north Tweed Shire is handing out money to some of its events to ensure their survival. Lucky recipients in the current $60,000 round of funding include the Banana Festival ($7,500), the Unity

Clarification: Ballina Shire Council supports residents in Basalt Court

Given that Optus now has technology at its disposal which allows it to choose sites more flexibly as it has done in Byron, and given that Clunes is an open, undulating rural area with many large landholdings, one wonders why Optus has chosen a site so close to the road and the village. ‘Maybe they can save themselves driving down a long driveway, or run any power cable, but surely that’s not a good enough reason to put it at the entrance to our village,’ says Ms Weber. Australia’s big three telcos seem to be on a mission to cover the country in towers. It has been suggested that ideal reception is achieved with a tower every four kilometres. No doubt there is demand for mobile reception, but if this proliferation of towers is set to continue, the big three must make additional efforts to minimise the impact. This region’s tangles with Telcos shows that communities want towers out of sight, away from residences, and colocated with each other. With a reported sixty communities battling towers Australia-wide, it is perhaps time for Optus – as the worst offender in our region – to take the lead by getting the location right first time, every time.

The article on the Optus tower controversy at Basalt Court, Lennox Head, last week incorrectly stated that Ballina Shire Council had approved the tower. In fact, under federal telecommunications legislation, local councils do not have the power to approve or refuse mobile towers classified as ‘low impact’ such as the one at Basalt Court. Ballina Shire councillors backed residents’ concerns by voting unanimously to write to Optus to express their opposition to the tower. Optus decided to proceed nonetheless.Â

The telco claims to have received ten letters in support which led to a ‘balanced’ decision in proceeding with the tower. However, the community consultation report which was provided to Council disclosed no letters of support. Ballina Shire’s general manager Paul Hickey was asked whether he would expect Optus to inform Council of letters in support of the tower if they existed. He said, ‘Yes. Absolutely’. Optus has failed to provide the ten letters to Council, or independently verify them, and has repeatedly refused to provide copies to The Echo.

Labor should hang on and hope for a miracle Volume 26 #12

August 30, 2011

The arse market Bugger global warming, the really important question of the week is whether or not Tony Abbott told Tony Windsor he would do anything short of selling his arse to become PM, and might do that anyway if conditions required it. Abbott vehemently denies he said such a thing, while one of his colleagues hardly helped by castigating Windsor for airing a private conversation. Which one of them is lying? Given the standard of debate in federal parliament at the moment, the news media are right to concentrate upon arses instead. It’s a far more instructive area of investigation. Besides, selling your arse is hardly as bad as selling out your principles, your country or common human decency. What sort of price would we get for Tony’s arse? His level of fitness indicates it would fetch much more than those of his fellow frontbenchers. He would fail in terms of kilogrammage compared to his mate Alan Jones but surely firmness is a more reliable sales indicator. Could we establish a market for politicians’ arses? Hell yeah, the commodities market is such a corrupt and fevered arena you could sell almost anything. And Tony Windsor’s a rural man – he could also get the word around the cattle saleyards in no time. Commodities traders are a feral bunch but would probably see more value in politicians’ arses in a stable, western democracy. In the volatile African market a politician’s arse is likely to be grass at any moment, so Australian arsebearers like Abbott would be prime for trading. Through their agents media barons or mining magnates could easily acquire Tony’s – or Julia’s, but probably not Bob’s – arse and have it firmly mounted on a wall of the boardroom next to Phil Ruddock’s testicles. It would be a fine enterprise – until the bottom fell out of it. – Michael McDonald, factotum

T

wo weeks of parliamentary recess, and the general view is that the government must be pitifully grateful for the relief. But this is not necessarily the case. Despite Tony Abbott’s assurance that the row over Craig Thomson (for which the opposition is almost entirely responsible) has paralysed the government, in fact the legislation has been getting through: 22 bills in the last fortnight, bringing the total to an impressive 185 for the year. Julia Gillard needs the parliament; in the current poisonous atmosphere, delivering the goods is her only hope of appearing positive. It is also the only place she can show what the electorate increasingly sees as her best features, her courage and persistence. Without it, there will be something of a vacuum; backbenchers will return to their electorates to be assailed with questions and complaints about Thomson and the media will become a breeding ground for yet more leadership speculation. At the weekend the independent Andrew Wilkie gave it a kickstart by opining that we might see new leaders as soon as May next year; this should not be a real news story, he added hastily, and it isn’t; but nor will the speculation go unnoticed. While the Labor Party has not yet succumbed to the despair which the Murdoch press regards as its due, a faint murmuring can be heard among the understandably nervous nellies on the backbench that it might just be time to be starting to consider a plan B. It has become something of a chicken and egg question: with the party vote and the leader’s standing equally on

the nose, are they both irretrievable or is one dragging the other down? And if so, which? And in the circumstances would a change of leadership make any difference? On the face of it, the move would be suicidal. There is still a substantial Rudd rump festering in the party room; to add a Gillard rump would risk open and bitter divisiveness. Moreover, it would confirm the already substantial impression

and of course the shock jocks and Murdoch press is aimed directly at her: Juliar, Brown’s bitch. A new leader would not be greeted by these groups with joy and delight, but at least he – it would inevitably be a he – would not be carrying quite as much baggage. But even if this line of argument were to be accepted by the caucus – and there is no sign of that happening at present – the problem remains:

For better or worse, Labor is stuck with Gillard, so the nervous Nellies had better just stick up for her. by Mungo MacCallum of a party desperate for survival and without any sense of purpose and direction. And most importantly, it could undo Gillard’s pact with the independents, who have pointed out that their deal was to support a Gillard government, not just any old Labor government. Better to hang on and hope for a miracle – after all, if there are no serious accidents (which in the wake of the Thomson affair may be an overly optimistic assumption) there is still two years to go. But, say the doubters, that is precisely the point. Two years is a bloody long time – more than long enough for the voters to forget all the current kerfuffle and embrace yet another new Messiah. Gillard is doomed; the people have stopped listening to her and if they do hear anything she says, they don’t believe it. The unrelenting hostility from the miners, the clubs and pubs, small business, the farmers

finding the new Messiah. Kevin Rudd is the voters’ choice, but absolutely unacceptable to the powerbrokers who killed him off once and would blow up the party rather than have him back. The deputy, Wayne Swan, is totally identified with the Gillard government and in any case is too boring. Defence Minister Stephen Smith has been mentioned as a relatively unknown cleanskin, but is hardly the man to excite the imagination of millions.

decline as an inclusive, open political movement. This may be an unfair assessment of the individuals involved but nonetheless it is the public perception; they are part of the problem, not part of the solution. And, given that the same stricture applies to more than half the caucus, it would seem that any real improvement in Labor’s fortunes will have to involve change starting from the bottom, not the top. Let’s face it, there is no plan B. For better or worse, Labor is stuck with Gillard, so the nervous nellies had better just stick up for her. But Wilkie was talking about leaders, plural; is there any real threat to the smashing, bashing, crashing Tony Abbott? Well, obviously not immediately; with the polls the way they are he will cruise into government without having to consider what Tony Windsor claimed he threatened as the ultimate sacrifice: selling his arse. But the same polls indicate that the voters will elect him with considerable reluctance: a clear majority neither like nor trust him. And it should not be forgotten that he gained the leadership by just one vote, and a lot of those who didn’t want him back then have not changed their minds. If he can get them back on the Treasury benches, that’s terrific, but it doesn’t end there; having done the job he was selected to do, he might find his use-by date approaching more quickly than he thought. And the irony of all this, of course, is that if there were to be a popular vote for Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull would be a shoo-in. Abbott will always have lurking behind him the real Messiah, slouching towards Bethlehem, waiting to be born.

No artsCape, no gallery, no painting Re your article on the artsCape sculpture exhibition ending (Echo, August 23). A very disappointing outcome to say the least. This is an event that brought much to the Shire and promoted the diversity of the area and offered encouragement to many creative people I note with dismay and frustration the comments from members of the committee of the problems in dealing with Byron Shire Council including a time of ‘13 months to get approval for the 2010 event’ and ‘the compliance issues with Byron Council are extraordinarily difficult to navigate...They are confusing and complex’. This is not the first occasion that such issues have been raised. There is obviously a problem as this is not rocket science.

Q

The kerbside collection of waste in towns, and particularly the illegal dumping of waste around Mullumbimby (and probably other towns too) and in the hills has been disgusting to watch over the last few weeks. It shows what a consuming, wasteful, selfish and lazy society we have become. Perhaps if a little more thought went into the life of the good before purchasing it, we wouldn’t have this disgraceful situation. It will be costing us ratepayers tens of thousands to collect. And the cost to the environment is probably higher. And very little will get recycled. Yes, I know some of it gets recycled by collecting residents, but most ends in landfill. Council has a recycling shop at the

Wilsons Creek So Byron residents get the thumbs down from the waste authorities because we put green waste in our recycling bins? They’re right, that is pretty insane. It’s almost as insane as a council which offers no green waste collection service in spite of the fact most or their residents encounter dozens of 2m long palm fronds falling in their garden.

Sunrise: a good tavern is to be appreciated is way over the top. The recent Byron Shire Council meeting, in regard to this matter, advised that the majority of the submissions were pro the development. Those against it were the minority. Suffolk Park (in our shire) and Pottsville (just north of Byron Shire) both have a family-friendly tavern/bistro right next door to residential areas. Both are very popular with locals and visitors. The tavern/bistro at Sunrise will be close to where my wife

and I live, somewhere we can walk to and have a meal and/ or a drink without the usual ‘dramas’ of getting into and back from town. I know there are many other locals who feel the same. While I can only speak for my wife and myself, and regardless of the outpouring of emotions over alcohol, at the end of the day it will all come down to the food. If it’s tasty, fresh and reasonably priced we will probably be classified as regular customers.

vertising direct into schools by way of apples gives WB Crompton cause to question my sanity (Letters, August 23), I equally wonder about his capacity for critical thinking. Snow White accepted an apple at face value to her peril. Crompton asks what MCAN has given. Briefly, we can take some credit for the vastly improved visual appearance of the Woolworths supermarket compared to their original utilitarian windowless shoebox. Thanks to Luis Cristia, a computer-generated image from the plan was shown at the ‘Woolworths meets the locals’ meeting at the Council Chambers in May 2008. It differed vastly from the photo montage of a nice line of trees that Woolworths was fobbing us off with and instigated, with Council, a redesign. Furthermore the wastewater experts on our team helped ensure that Woolworths’s final on-site sewage plan, although still doubtful, was closer to guidelines. More importantly, we in Mullumbimby now know a lot more about how giant supermarkets operate, how we need to preserve our local economy and best of all, we now have a Mullum Farmers Market. If Mr Crompton believes that the ‘too good footpath’ and roundabout were gifted by Woolworths, it is he who must be nuts. Ratepayers paid for that through waived developer contributions. Yes, they contracted the work and built up Station Street higher than it was originally. Massive excavations beneath the supermarket and raised carpark required the drainage pipes to be set so low that it is questionable as to how stormwater will flow out to the river. Furthermore, Woolworths replaced an open stormwater drain which can be cleared when blocked with a closed pipe system that cannot. It is way too flat and therefore acts as a stilling basin. The dirt that is trapped is there forever, or until the pipes are removed. Twenty years from now, Station Street will stink like those we’ve all seen in Indonesia. Big Brother’s one-size-fitsall approach stinks when used

Q If the development proposed

for Sunrise is anything like the Yamba Shores Tavern, then bring it on, and quickly. The perfect family hotel. A playground, a great undercover area, room for live music, and everywhere you look there’s families enjoying the atmosphere. It’s hard to imagine anyone heading out into the suburbs, to a pub with a playground, for their big drunken night out. They have plenty on offer in town for that. I’m sure there may be the occasional group continued from page 11

From humble beginnings this station has truly grown into a giant of alternative media which is so badly needed in this day and age. I am so proud of the achievements of everyone concerned, past and present. I am very certain that Bay FM will continue to grow with the help and support of the Byron Shire Community. Long live Bay FM!

which gets a bit boisterous, but this is not an atmosphere that encourages that kind of activity. I would encourage the developers to check it out (no doubt they already have). We are not big drinkers, but we love getting together, and we would love an alternative to the overcrowded pubs, or restaurants where prams and children are an inconvenience. It can be done. Get the development right and we will be your first regulars.

heading in last week’s letters page asked the question, ‘What do you think of having another pub?’ It depends on where the pub will be. If you are talking of the tavern/bistro at Sunrise I think it is a great proposal, something that has been needed and wanted by many locals for years. Believe it or not, not everyone who lives at Sunrise is repulsed by alcohol, nor does everyone live with a young family. The reaction and ramLara Crompton blings from some locals at SunLennox Head rise to this development, I feel,

the selling of women for sex gives excellent monetary returns; I hope your ads are getting larger because no-one’s responding – there would be great honour for us all in that. I personally find them crass, jarring and ill-judged in our little corner of the world where the cry ‘wowser’ is more likely to be supplanted by one for social justice. Sweden’s legislation criminalising the buying of sex and decriminalising the selling of sex, has had positive results including significantly reducing the trafficking of women and girls – www.justicewomen.

Keep up the good work. Norm, Banora Point Very, very sad to read about the demise of artsCape. My five-year-old daughter and I enjoyed it several times last year, and every time we walk along the path now she asks when the next exhibition is. I know a few school groups organised excursions as well. It was a perfect example of making contemporary art easily accessible for all ages, prams to wheelchairs, and taking art to the community and hopefully educating us along the way. Shame.

Kiss goodbye the world we knew to Alan Watterson’s evisceration of the galileo (bowel) movement some more realism has been injected into the Byron Bubble (Letters, August 23). Carbon fuel and its acidic and thermal repercussions are an unambiguous disaster. It must be stopped and reversed with urgent haste. Frankly, I think we won’t see global economic recovery until more investors embrace a positive future. Irresponsible investors and supporters of the status quo of carbon should consider the sympathy they will receive if they continue supporting the present ominous trajectory of the human carrying capacity of Earth. Yes, Alan, I agree, it’s serious. Look at the situation emotionally: what do you, the reader, feel when you see the ongoing investment in the de-

structive addiction to carbon, including CSG? Can you take that feeling and transform it into cool constructive action? It has been said that anger is the emotion of change, and right now we need change! Australians, in the Saudi Arabia of gas and coal, and of solar, must face up to the greatest moral choice of our time.

believe that climate is changing, there is irrefutable proof that the concentration of gases in the atmosphere and the chemical composition of the oceans is changing, rapidly. Over 70 per cent of the oxygen we breathe (except Tony obviously) comes from the oceans via phytoplankton; the rest is supplied by the photosynthetic ability of terrestrial plants. Given that we’ve cleared the majority of forests from the earth and continue to choke the oceans with the waste of over six billion (and rising) humans, it would seem prudent to turn our attention to securing the one resource on earth that we, literally, can’t live without. If we don’t take action now, what will concern us in the very near future is not the state of the stock market or interest rates, the mindless chattels of consum-

erism, or the ridiculous debate on whether a vested-interest politician has greater knowledge of climate than 95 per cent of the world’s scientists, but whether there is enough oxygen in the atmosphere to breathe. The collapse of the oceans is relatively imminent (30–50 years according to David Suzuki, Jeremy Jackson and many other eminent scientists). There’s a couple of choices: you can sit in front of the flatscreen telly and wait for the inevitable or you can turn off the mindless crap, begin getting your information from valid sources instead of the Daily Tele, and be able to look the children of the world in the eye and say you did something about leaving a world for them and future generations.

plants. Singtel Optus trample all over our rights, inflicting harm on us as they like. Since August 8 they have invaded Basalt Court, Lennox Head like an invading army. They seem to use mainly out-of-area mercenary contractors. The residents said ‘no’ to the tower location. Ballina Shire Council voted unanimously against it. There are many much more suitable sites. Optus is too lazy and greedy to look. They consider Basalt Court ‘cheap and easy’. Even with this justifiable opposition what did Singtel Optus do? They marched in regardless. I write this letter to the sound of a jackhammer on the ‘Optus site’. Poetic, isn’t it, that it evokes the sound and idea of jackboots. I sympathise with customers who have taken nine hours to sort out billing and service problems with telcos.

Israel and human rights Q Vic Alhadeff is correct in say-

ing that both Israel and myself want a resolution to the IsraelPalestine conflict (Letters, August 23), but not on any terms. The Palestine Papers reveal the collusion between the Palestinian Authority (PA), Israel and the USA so that the PA helped the decades-long procrastination that so obviously benefits Israel. As the peace talks charades stretch out Israel frantically colonises Palestinian land with its settlements and, unlike Palestinians who have no right of return, fills them with heavily subsidised Jews from anywhere in the world. Israel’s land rapaciousness is such that Palestinian homes are demolished, 18,000 since 1967, sometimes with family members still inside. If the family tries to block the demolition they are given the ultimatum to either demolish their own house or let the Civil Administration do it for a price. (An

Israeli in Palestine: Resisting Dispossession, Redeeming Israel, Jeff Halper.) Mr Alhadeff should read the 1978 letter from 348 Israeli reserve officers to Menachem Begin. They feared Israel would not respond favourably to Anwar Sadat’s peace initiative and wrote of the ‘deep anxiety [that the] government... prefers the existence of the State of Israel within the borders of “Greater Israel” to the existence in peace with good neighbourliness’, a policy ‘that will cause a continuation of control over millions of Arabs and will hurt the Jewish-democratic character of the state’ (www.peacenow.org). Nothing’s changed and so Israel and Palestine drift toward destruction with the rest of the world just shamefully looking on.

if doing so leaves facts in its wake, nobody’s cause is served. Both Harsha Prabhu and Danielle Haliczer unleash a tirade against not only Israel, but Australian Jews, alleging that they couldn’t care less about the situation of the Palestinian people (Letters, August 23). Yet the last six Israeli prime ministers, including the current one, have declared themselves in favour of two states for two people. That means the last six Israeli prime ministers, including the current one, have publicly stated that they want to live in peace alongside the State of Palestine. Yet no Palestinian leader has agreed to come to the table to talk peace. Why do those indisputable realities not enter Mr Prabhu’s and Ms Haliczer’s thinking?

Local initiative for affordable housing Eva St John

Of the many social issues being passionately discussed in the local community in recent years, few could be more pressing and urgent than the need for more affordable housing for the region’s ever-growing permanent population. The Byron Shire is not alone in this dilemma, of course. Australia-wide, and indeed world-wide, the need for not only affordable housing, but eco-sustainable and securetenure housing, has been recognised by thousands of lateral thinkers and forward planners over the past three decades who have sought to come up with solutions to this evergrowing problem.

Land trusts In America, for instance, a growing number of Community Land Trusts have been established for the management of properties which have been donated or bequeathed in order to create perpetual affordable housing collectives. Whether the tenants buy in to the communities or rent long term, the founding goal is to provide permanent, guaranteed secure tenure for people who would otherwise be left in severe long-term housing stress. With this same goal in mind, in Germany a Tenant Syndicate was birthed in the late 1980s which sought to collectively purchase land and buildings that could be removed permanently from the speculation market in order to create tenant-organised affordable housing communities in perpetuity. Together with the Syndicate, future tenants of an affordable housing project establish a ‘limited liability’ company (Ltd) which then collectively buys a property, or acquires a

long-term lease of government or private land. As a company the tenant collective can also secure loans – preferably from private ethical sources as opposed to banking institutions – to help finance their community building project. The tenants then pay rent to the company, but are simultaneously responsible for all aspects of running the company, including overseeing the development of the property and the building of their individual dwellings. In this way affordable housing has been created and protected from future exploitation by real estate speculators. The German Tenant Syndicate has successfully implemented 33 tangible projects thus far, with dozens more in the works throughout Europe. In August 2009 the Syndicate made the decision to link up with, and support, other equivalent projects world-wide.

affordable, low-impact eco communities here in the Shire. As a result, a steering committee has been formed to look at ways to take these ideals through to actual implementation.

Shared interests ‘Tenant communities,’ says Gabi, ‘can be designed and focused around shared interests such as art, music, spiritual values, gardening, permaculture or retirement, with the potential of becoming self-sustaining and even developing commercial opportunities for the tenants through on-site cottage industries. Tenants with disabilities or who are studying can be located close to services and public transport. Some collectives may also find innovative ways to utilise and encourage rehabilitation of the unused rail corridor.’ Under the interim name ‘Transition Byron Shire’ (www. transitionbyronshire.org) the steering committee has begun consulting with the Byron Shire Council in light of the Council’s own suggested affordable housing strategies (see http://www.byron.nsw.gov.au/ affordable-housing), and are

looking in particular at two council properties which have been earmarked for small affordable housing projects in Suffolk Park and in the Byron Arts and Industry Estate. Economical and low-impact modes of building such as rammed earth, mud brick, bamboo and straw bale are also being scrutinised, along with the possibility of relocating older houses and recycling attractively-renovated shipping containers which are already weather-proof and structurally strong. With the support of the Byron Shire Council, Transition Byron Shire will be holding a public meeting on Sustainable House Day and is inviting everyone who is interested in becoming involved in a local ‘affordable housing eco community’ to come along and hear presentations and participate in the discussion. The meeting will be facilitated by Peter and Eshana of Sustainable Futures Australia and will be held at the Mullumbimby Community College on Sunday September 11, beginning at 2pm sharp. Enquiries can be directed to Gabi Bonet at housing@transitionbyronshire.org.

Animal rights considered in a time of climate change Des Bellamy

Faced with a biosphere on the brink of collapse, world hunger, devastating natural disasters and economic meltdown, is it time for those of us who care about animals to ‘get real’ and look out for number one, or at least put the animal rights debate to the back of the queue while we sort out the planetary temperature? How many times since joining PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) have I been asked, ‘Why don’t you worry about something important like [in-

sert latest headline]? Animals don’t matter as much as humans.’ And not always in such polite terms. But these issues are intertwined, and ignoring any one part is like giving a drowning man CPR while he is still underwater. Early animal rights theories centred on the effects of our actions not on the animals but on ourselves. In the seventeenth century, Locke bemoaned that letting children torment animals would ‘harden their minds even to men’. The Enlightenment raised ideas of ‘Natural Law’ in which animals

were entitled to compassionate treatment because they were sentient and could feel pain. So cruelty to animals, by the time of the French Revolution, was recognised as bad for animals and bad for humans. But these two views diverged, with the animal rights groups interested in the first, and psychiatrists, nutritionists and environmentalists mainly in the second.

Starvation But we have greater concerns now than corrupt Bourbon kings. A globe which sustained less than a billion humans on it until the 19th century now supports (or fails to support) close to seven billion. According to Kofi Annan, 17,000 children die of starvation every day. We shrug and deny culpability for 12 babies dying needlessly every minute, so why would we care about a few chickens and cows and sheep and pigs? Don’t we need to breed animals to grow faster, dose them with antibiotics and squeeze them into ever smaller cages in the hope that we can at least feed our own countrymen and women, if not the faceless ones in those faraway places? In fact, the opposite is true. The production of meat for human consumption is not only the greatest source of suffering for animals ever seen on this Earth, but is now a direct threat to human health (causing, for example, obesity, coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and some types of cancer). What is now becoming crystal clear is that eating animal products (meat, dairy foods and eggs) is also threatening the health of the planet’s ecosystem. We humans kill 50 billion land animals every year for food. That’s 50,000,000,000. That’s about

6 million every hour – 1,600 every second. No one knows the death toll from the ocean, but an intelligent guess is that it’s twice that, with commercial fishing methods such as bottom trawling and long-lining virtually emptying millions of square kilometres of ocean. Is this an animal rights or an environmental issue?

The cost of livestock It is inextricably both. Those land animals, most of whom live wretched lives in tiny cages and suffer painful deaths, all need feed and water in huge quantities. They turn most of that feed into excrement, methane and nitrous oxide, the first a significant contributor to acid rain, the last two being the most pernicious of all greenhouse gas emissions. Senior UN Food and Agriculture Or-

ganization (FAO) official Henning Steinfeld cited livestock as ‘one of the most significant contributors to today’s most serious environmental problems’. If you think using a big 4x4 to transport one little person is wasteful, try justifying one kilo of mince: It takes 16kg of grain, 20,000 litres of water and 11 square metres of cleared land (often rainforest). A University of Chicago study in 2005 found that one person switching from a red-meat-based diet to a vegetarian one could save about the same amount of CO2 as trading in a Toyota Camry for a Toyota Prius. The FAO reports that livestock production now takes up 70 per cent of all the Earth’s agricultural land. Seventy per cent of the Amazon rainforest is now under pasture or feedcrops, so the devastation of the Amazon, an unprecedented

environmental catastrophe which has ravaged ‘the lungs of the planet’, is directly caused by eating meat. Livestock emit 37 per cent of human-caused methane – which is 23 times more potent as a global warming agent than CO2, mostly from ‘enteric fermentation’ (cattle and sheep belching and farting) – as well as 65 per cent of human-caused nitrous oxide, which has 296 times the global warming potential of CO2. While we greenies are changing the light bulbs, the consumption of meat and milk is set to double in the first half of this century. We have decimated the arable land, denuded the forests and poisoned the groundwater and increasingly the ocean, and the number of people who are hungry tonight is greater than it has ever been. Even if we can close our eyes to the appalling suffering of billions of sensitive, sentient creatures, the world simply can no longer afford meat, dairy products and eggs. Studies show that a meat-eater’s diet is responsible for more than seven times as much greenhouse gas emissions as a vegan’s. The director of the Centre for Global Food Issues, Dennis Avery, has said, ‘The world must create five billion vegans in the next several decades, or triple its total farm output without using more land.’ Eating animals is no longer just an animal rights issue. To survive the next century, we need to transition to environmental vegans. Every time you pick up your fork, you vote for or against the future.

Comment Who owns Byron? Rose Wanchap from Red Rose Realty answers questions from Ray Moynihan about Byron’s crisis in commercial rent affordability, and why landlords should consider rent reductions Rose Wanchap: I am always saddened when I see another business close their doors. I know what it takes to start a business and I know how long it can take to climb out of the debt incurred when things don’t go the way it was planned. Tenants are always optimistic when they open their doors. They don’t sign leases thinking they are going to struggle to pay the rent, they look very carefully at customer flow and other factors then they just take a leap of faith. I really admire the tenacity of people who have the courage to do this. In other places the rent is much lower and the risk is not so great. Here the risk is great but the potential of increased trade entices many who come here. They sign a lease then proceed for the next three years to make their business work. As the end of the lease draws near they begin to take count of the incoming and outgoing money and realise that the rent is a

Local agent reflects on commercial rent crisis heavy burden to carry. They talk to their agent about reducing the rent but the agent is bound by his or her landlord to not only maintain the rent, but to increase it. The weight of a rent rise is the straw that breaks the camel’s back and many tenants just cut their losses, lick their wounds and move on. It is at this point where a careful assessment of the situation should be done to see if a rent reduction will in fact keep the business going. Unfortunately it is here that decisions are made to not reduce the rent. The result is many premises once vacated remain so for many months, sometimes years. The loss of rental income could have assisted their last tenant to make it through a tough period. The Echo: What’s your sense of how tough it is for small businesses and how the high Byron rents are affecting them? Rose Wanchap: I am astounded at the rents being charged. They seem so out of proportion with the actual business that is being conducted in the premises. How many icecreams do you have to sell or DVDs do you have to rent to cover a $2,000 a week lease? And that’s before you even start to consider wages, etc. The Echo: What’s your view on whether landlords should

negotiate and lower rents for commercial tenants? Rose Wanchap: It makes good business sense to work together with your tenant rather than having your premises empty for months. The Echo: Have you been assisting any tenants to try to lower rents and have you had any luck? Rose Wanchap: I have over the years been approached by tenants to help them negotiate with their landlord, or locate them to other premises. Very rarely do landlords reduce their rents. One prominent landlord

who would have to be the exception to the rule said he had left many rents on hold and even reduced some to assist his tenants to be able to continue on in their business. Now this is a very clever landlord. You just can’t get blood out of a stone; killing the goose that laid the golden egg just doesn’t make sense. One has to play the cards one has been dealt; there is a time of bounty and time of pulling the belt in. Recognising this is the first step to fair rents being set. The Echo: Any other general comments about the ownership of Byron property?

Rose Wanchap: They say small businesses are the backbone of our country but I say that small business owners are the salt of the earth. They have usually spent many years of their lives working for someone else and have made this move to better their lives and that of their families. When you sign on the dotted

Here in Mae Sot on the ThaiBurma border, I’ve just had word that Minds in the Water, the Surfers for Cetaceans documentary that had its world premiere in Byron Bay earlier this year, played last week to a full house in Hollywood for its US premiere and got a rave reception. As I make my way home, I find myself reflecting on the past year that took me to IWC62 in Morocco, Sea Shepherd operations in the Mediterranean and Faeroe Islands, whale mural painting in Portugal and Bangkok, the Sea Shepherd campaign in the Antarctic for three months and through to IWC63 in Jersey Island off France for a concerted and vocal push with S4C, Sea Shepherd and Women for Whales against the whale killers. I was officially barred henceforth from entering IWC venues, a not dishonourable status I now share with Paul Watson and Rick O’Barry. Despite a good effort by the UK delegation in tabling reports on corruption within the IWC process, and the South American group maintaining their call for a South Atlantic whale sanctuary, deliberate time-wasting rhetoric, obstruc-

line to pay rent of $100,000 a year, you have to be very committed to make it work. Each new business that comes to town enriches the community, enriching the landlord too of course, but he is also conducting a business and has had to pay a large sum to purchase the premises. There is an adjustment that is occurring now in this time of transition. Retail outlets are competing with online purchasers. Shops have become display centres for products rather than places of purchase. And since the global financial crises, many of us have recognised that we just don’t need so much ‘stuff ’ anymore – which I think is another fact that landlords need to take into account when they decide to make a rent adjustment. Q Along with her real estate business Rose Wanchap and her family have management rights for units at the Byron Central Apartments, and she is currently negotiating to develop a private hospital here.

BYRONOPOLY: Stephen Agnew Developer and investor Stephen Agnew owns a series of major properties in Byron, including a large shopping precinct, the Main Beach backpackers and other commercial premises. With a Bachelor of Applied Science in building, the Byron-based Agnew has been working in the construction sector for four decades. Through his companies Beachbreak Development and Agcorp, Steve Agnew is effectively the landlord for the giant shopping plaza at number 90 Jonson Street. The plaza boasts more than a dozen tenancies in shops on the north side of Woolworths, which he is believed to have bought a decade ago. Mr Agnew is also the landlord for several tenanted premises in Marvell Street and is involved in developing the large new housing estate on the main road at Suffolk Park. According to its website, the Agnew Group of companies started fifty years ago when Steve’s fa-

ther was manufacturing windows in the northern suburbs of Sydney. Steve’s company Agcorp has over the past decades ‘developed many of its own properties and established a portfolio of investments, particularly in the northern rivers area of NSW where its specialist knowledge has resulted in several prime properties being retained.’ A number of those properties have appeared on the market recently via real estate sites, including the Jonson Street shopping plaza and the Main Beach backpackers. With the backpackers, based in the historic council chambers on the corner of Fletcher and Lawson Streets, there are approved plans to develop a three-storey commercial building, complete with 300-bed hostel, more shops, cafes and a basement carpark. Steve Agnew politely declined a request from The Echo for an interview.

Tom Mooney Trained as a teacher in Lismore, Tom Mooney became a legend of Sydney rugby league, before moving to Byron, running hotels and building a modest property empire with his wife Cath. The Mooneys hold a swag of major properties in and around Byron, including a lease over the Rails hotel and ownership of the Great Northern which they bought a few years back – both of which are important national music venues. In recent years Tom Mooney was part of a group which developed the whole block behind the Great Northern – a project that cost tens of millions. Other property holdings include number 84 Jonson street, which is home to several small businesses, and was bought by the Mooneys almost twenty years ago for under $400,000. While he won’t discuss the issue, it’s widely rumoured that as a landlord Mooney has been offering some form of relief to some commercial tenants in recent times, by

waiving the automatic annual increases that are common in rental contracts or offering rent holidays. In the 1970s a successful league player with Souths and then Manly, Mooney is understood to support some local groups, including sports clubs. He was also a onetime Labor candidate for the local state seat now held by the Nationals’ Don Page. Unlike a number of other Byron landlords, Mooney is well-known in the local community, and was for example seen recently at a council meeting strongly opposing Dan Murphy’s bid to move into Byron Bay. He did, however, decline repeated requests to be interviewed for this piece, and to discuss the rent affordability issue facing Byron businesses. Q Disclosure: until last year The Echo amicably rented an office in Jonson Street from Tom and Cath Mooney. The lease ended owing to a zoning quibble insisted on by Council.

Peter Croke Peter Croke has for a long time been accumulating local property, including caravan parks, the Bay Motel directly opposite Byron’s Main Beach, and a series of commercial premises in town, including properties in Jonson, Lawson and Fletcher streets. According to one local real estate agent, Peter Croke tends not to talk to media, but he responded amiably to The Echo’s request for an interview to discuss his landholdings. Asked about concerns around high commercial rents, he said the problem stems from bureaucracy and council, not landlords, who were also doing it tough. Small businesses, he added, were the backbone of the nation. Among the small number of references to Mr Croke in the public domain is a notice in a government brochure about a dispute ten years ago between the land-

Almost 60 commercial properties are currently for sale in Byron Bay – including a shopping plaza worth up to $15 million, at least two motels, and several pieces of prime multimillion-dollar downtown real estate. While some insiders say it’s a long while since they’ve seen so many major properties for sale at the same time, others argue it’s nothing unusual for the Byron Bay property ‘market’. It’s certainly the case that among those who’ve had properties on the market in recent times there are some of Byron’s biggest landholders.

One estate agent who has been working in the area for twenty years, Graham Dunn, told The Echo this week that in his view the amount of commercial property for sale was ‘no big deal’, and there were ‘no abnormal transactions.’ While each landholder will have their own reasons for selling, others see global economic conditions as one of the key factors behind the large number of big commercial properties currently on the market.

When asked by The Echo whether he would consider lowering the rent to entice tenants, Mr Phillips replied he is drawing up plans to divide it into three spaces.

When asked if he shared concerns about high rents in town, Mr Phillips responded that tough economic conditions and external forces were the cause. ‘It’s a mix of a high dollar and the effects of the GFC [Global Financial Crisis],’ he said. ‘A friend in the banking industry said to me that at no time in history have Australians held on to or saved their money more than now.’ He also gave a parting shot at Byron Shire Council. which he says he’s ‘fed up with,’ and had ‘double standards.’

HOLIDAY LETTING EARNINGS

Local landlord and developer Eddie Phillips is currently selling prime retail property in downtown Byron, a motel next door to the Brunswick pub which carries a price tag of $2.5 million, and a luxury mansion in Lighthouse Road for almost $7 million. With property interests across Australia and the Pacific, Mr Phillips was at one time hoping to buy the iconic Beach Hotel, but missed out to the Melbourne syndicate who paid $60 million for it in 2007. The former owner of several pubs in the northern rivers area, including in Mullumbimby, Phillips has been involved in recent years in developing the big new Bogarts building in Fletcher Street, Byron.

Jules Devlin started his apprenticeship under his father at the Figtree Restaurant at age 14. Once completed, Jules worked in Quay Restaurant and Banc restaurant in Sydney for two years. He then ran the Figtree for one year before embarking on an around the world culinary journey through SE Asia, China, Russia, Scandinavia, Europe and South America. It was his time as a private chef in France for two years that was the most poignant, and cemented his lifelong affection with the world of French gastronomy. Jules teamed up with brother Che (also a well travelled chef) to reopen the Figtree in 2005. And in 2006 they opened Why Not! Byron Bay. A cafĂŠ/bar by day and restaurant and wine lounge by night. Why Not is open for breakfast and lunch seven days from 6am and cocktails and dinner Wednesday to Sunday from 6pm. There is also a wonderful and inexpensive bar snack menu available from 4pm from Wednesday to Sunday. 18 Jonson St, Byron Bay. 6680 7994. whynotbyronbay.com.au

BILLI’S THAI

Head Chef

QUATTRO RESTAURANT & BAR Growing up with a very passionate Italian chef as a father (makes Gary Rhodes look sublime), Alessandro was always destined to end up in the kitchen. After two successful ďŹ ne-dining Italian restaurants and too many cold winters in the UK, Alessandro and wife Joanna moved back in 2006. Falling in love with Lennox Head they stumbled across the perfect location for a gorgeous restaurant right on the beach. Joining forces with Angel and Paul Quattro Restaurant & Bar opened in 2008. Fusing traditional classic Italian and European dishes with contemporary inuences, Quattro is now an award-winning restaurant, and is steadily becoming one of the most popular restaurants in NSW.

AUTHOR & FOOD CRITIC

Zeb Kinnear has been in hospitality since his early twenties. Zeb took over Billi’s Thai four years ago, after learning the art of traditional Thai cuisine from his Thai ‘uncle-in-law’ Wim Tongmar – the original founder of Billi’s Thai 16 years ago.

Victoria Cosford has been the food columnist for the Byron Shire Echo the past eight years.

All of Zeb’s cooking methods and recipies follow fourthgeneration family secrets using only the freshest ingredients to ensure a real Thai experience.

Winemakers Dinner

Sangkahya

After an exhilarating and educational visit to the beautiful Wairau Valley Marlborough on a Giesen wine jolly, Alessandro, co-owner of Quattro Restaurant, become Giesen Estate’s number one fan! He apparently discovered the Brothers’ range and its bigger brother The August Sauvignon Blanc. The Giesen boys wanted to prove that Sav Blanc isn’t a on- trick pony. The variety has genuine potential to craft wines with complexity, character and ageing potential and The August is made to demonstrate just that.

There’s a fine line between critical thinking and being precocious. For a bunch of kids attending one of the country’s only regular standup comedy school,  â€˜Funny Kids’, taught by comedian Mandy Nolan, there is a constant focus on observing and analysing  everyday behaviour. Why is there a power struggle over the back seats of the school bus? Why do you have to brush your teeth every night? Why make your bed at all if you are only going to get in it again and mess it up? And what’s so wrong with writing your name on the toilet wall? Each term around 15 kids meet for one hour once a week for a comedy workshop. This term has been focused on improvisation, challenging the kids to think on the spot. Contrary to popular opinion that children are naturally ‘free’ thinkers, Mandy Nolan believes that school can sometimes have the completely opposite effect on a kid’s creative thinking. ‘When I’m teaching kids to think on the spot it takes a long time for them to loosen up. They are most worried about getting it “wrongâ€? and making fools of themselves in front of their peer group. They are also desperate for the approval of their peers so this also hinders their ability to really let themselves go in improvisation. I find that after many weeks of their having ‘Fun’ they forget themselves and start to do and say things that are authentic and spontaneous. School systems are fabulous for learning, but in comedy you need to be able to use that learning and intellect to have your own thoughts. It’s a bit risky if you are still a kid who is learning from parents and school what they are supposed to think in the first place.’ Nolan believes that comedy

classes are essentially about teaching young people to be critical thinkers. ‘I ask them to question everything. It’s an important part of the comedy process. Don’t take anything for granted; ask why we do it. Basically we’re still just a bunch of monkeys in pants!’ Teachers and parents have fed back to Mandy about the positive results they’ve noticed in the children who have attended comedy classes. ‘It’s been unexpected really; I just did the classes so the kids would have fun and get a chance to be centre stage, instead of popping out in a school play with one line every now and then. They’re natural show-offs and I think they all deserve a little time in the spotlight! But I’ve had this wonderful feedback about children who’ve become more confident, more resilient; they’ve become better public speakers; and even more thrilling is that one parent fed back that her child’s teacher had credited the comedy with helping her child achieve better results at school. I really do think it’s the critical-thinking process. Sure it’s precocious, but it’s actually the beginning of the academic mind. Standup comedy teaches kids not to be mindless consumers; they are learning to dissect things and see the bigger picture of where they fit into their community.’  Mandy’s latest crop of  young standup comedians perform their standup debut (although some are now so hooked they are repeat offenders) on Tuesday 13 September at the Byron Theatre at the Community Centre. The show is family friendly, offering laughs for adults and kids alike. Show starts at 6pm, and is $10 for adults and $5 for kids over 5. Tix at the door.

God’s Gig Believe in it or not, it’s undeniable that the Bible is the most significant book in the English language, and in saying that it is also the subject of movies, musicals and plays. It has given three times more expressions to the English language than Shakespeare. Translated into English, and first published in May, 1611, on the command of King James I, it weighed in at 13.6kg and was chained up to prevent theft. That’s the kind of Bible that could give you abs! To celebrate the anniversary of the King James Bible a combined choir including St Andrew’s Anglican Church Choir, Lismore, and a variety of soloists, is presenting a program of music inspired by Bible passages, under the direction of musical director and organist, Warren Whitney.

by Mandy Nolan

In East Africa you pretend to spit on someone’s feet, in Greece it’s a slap on the back and in Tibet you stick your tongue out. All over the world the greeting code is almost as mixed up as we are. What I can’t work out is how are we supposed to greet people in our culture? We live in a gender-equal multicultural society, so what is the correct greeting? Thanks to feminism, every time I meet a gentleman I am no longer expected to curtsey in obliging submission (although if you throw me $50 I’ll give it a shot). Every time I meet someone new or run into someone in the street who I’m not that familiar with I’m stumped as to how I’m actually supposed to greet them. There’s the handshake. A brief shake of the paw by two humans. Traditionally by blokes. This was an efficient way of passing on viruses and was particularly effective for efficient transmission of the bubonic plague. To make sure the girls didn’t miss out, men would bow and gob on the lady’s hand. In business situations I’ve never been entirely sure on the protocol of the handshake. There’s that split second moment while you wait to see if the other person is going to initiate a greeting, and if they fail to do so it’s up to you. A part of mine wants to give a high five, or grab their genitals, and just before they press a sexual harassment charge I’ll claim that it’s a traditional greeting for me, as I’m descended from yobbos, and we yobs always grab each other by the nuts or twat as it’s a primitive way of establishing breeding status. As a woman I never know where I stand with the handshake. When I meet other women and I go to shake their hand I always feel a little bit Alice B Toklas. It feels all lesbian and sexy, like I’m

saying ‘Hey baby I’ll be the bloke’. That’s not usually the impression you want to give the admin officer at your local childcare centre. Then if I’m in a situation where I meet a bloke professionally I don’t know whether to handshake or not. A firm shake from a woman is both emasculating and deflating. Basically it sends an underlying message ‘there is no way I’d ever consider having sex with you. Nice to meet you.’ As if the shake protocol wasn’t enough, then there’s the kiss. In Russia grown adult heterosexual men greet each other with a big kiss on the lips. I have seen photos of Mikhael Gorbachev greeting John Howard with a giant wet open-mouthed pash. Well maybe it wasn’t John Howard, but all bald men look the same from behind. I’m used to the Nanna kiss. That’s a tight-mouthed dry brush of the lips against the cheek of your fellow human. There is one basic rule. You don’t kiss people you don’t know. The cat’s bum is for friends and family only. It is not for the workplace. It’s the wrong code. Hands are for work. Mouths are for home. That’s my basic rule and I’m sticking to it. That’s why prostitutes don’t kiss their clients, they just give them a good long firm handshake. I feel all weird when I meet someone who I don’t know very well and then they go in for the kiss. I see them coming and I think, shit, now I have to respond, so I’ll angle my cheek to receive, and then retreat. Then just as I’m pulling out they go for the double banger. If you are European, fair enough, the French are known to get carried away and kiss each other as many as five times on alternating cheeks. (Only on the face, I’m told.) But having been to Bali for two weeks or watching SBS does not give you permission to pull off the cosmopolitan double peck. The second kiss is pretentious. For the simple yob like myself who recoils in shock at the lips coming for my cheek once more, it just makes me feel uncultured. I’ve been to New Zealand, for well over a week, and I didn’t come home rubbing noses. Last time I had a double kiss I decided I’d perform an overshare and I kept kissing them from cheek to cheek until they couldn’t take it anymore. Unfortunately it backfired and I ended up pregnant.

Lamplight at the Rails

Continued...

The Lamplights are a five-piece from the Gold Coast who cross genres like they are crossing lanes, effortlessly. Shifting gears between heartfelt ballads, folk, pop, blues and reggae, The Lamplights are not a destination band. What I mean by that is they will invite you in to go somewhere – don’t expect to have a bunch of songs played AT you. Saturday at the Rails.

Understand Your Music

Parting the Spiritual Kirtan

Every year Duncan R Lorien travels more than 150,000 km from his home in Boston on a one-man quest to strip the mystery out of music and ‘turn complete novices into musicians’ at his Understanding Music Seminars. That he can teach people to read and play music in just three days is a tribute to his revolutionary methods, musical ability and teaching skill. He spent 20 years researching the history of music, in order to uncover the ‘myths, traps and lies’ that usually make it such a complex and difficult subject to master.

Weaving together acoustic guitar, a warm husky voice and lyrics born of her own spiritual experiences, Kirtana take listeners on a journey into themselves. Her music can be described as devotional ‘satsang’ or music for awakening and is used by spiritual teachers, authors, healers and seminar leaders. These include Gangaji, Eckhart Tolle, Byron Katie, Brandon Bays and Deva Premal. Gangaji describes her music as ‘a pure love transmission‌ bringing me to tears of joy’. Eckhart Tolle says ‘Listening to Kirtana’s music is a beautiful meditation in itself’. Saturday at the Byron Theatre at the Community Centre.

Lorien’s credentials are quite impeccable. He started learning to play piano at age four and was teaching other kids by age 10. He became the Deputy Head Chorister at the Royal College of Church Music in London before embarking on a New Age musical career, culminating in No 1 albums on the UK charts in the 80s. He has worked as a songwriter, recording artist and producer with Polygram, EMI and BMG Publishing. He has been travelling the world delivering his Understanding Music Seminar since 1991, and regularly takes in cities ranging from his hometown in Boston to London, New York, Moscow, Budapest, Stuttgart, Berlin, Prague and the home of Western Music, Vienna. He conducts workshops in Byron this weekend, Friday–Sunday at the Lord Byron Resort. For information go to www.understandingmusicseminar.com.auor phone0417038741oremailums@netspace.net.au.

Local band the Rogue Gene release their second studio album at the Mullumbimby RSL on Friday. Late September the band pack up and take their tunes to the USA getting back just in time to perform at this year’s Mullum Music festival. Guest support act will be Miss Dee Lavell accompanied by Geoff Wright. The launch gig will showcase the album as well as highlights from their varied repertoire of blues and soul. Tix are just $10 on the door, or take home a copy of the CD Soul Food at Johnnie Lee Fongs and they’ll invite you into the party, free. Food and drinks at excellent prices – doors open 8pm with special guests.

One of the headlines to watch at this year’s Mullum Music Festival is Canadian Serena Ryder. Growing up in Millbrook, Ontario, surrounded by forests and fields, Serena Ryder sensed that there was something beyond the surrounding woods. Music encouraged that idea, through her father who performed as a musician and her mother who danced and sang backup vocals. Their record collection, offering the Beatles, Leonard Cohen, Neil Young, and much more, whetted Ryder’s curiosities. ‘I’d been writing a lot since I was maybe 11 years old,’ Ryder says. ‘I wasn’t doing diary entries; I needed to express something a little deeper than that, which I couldn’t express in conversation. And I’d been singing since I was a little kid, doing cover songs at gigs. But when I got my guitar, a whole other world opened up to me. I realised I could put the poetry I was writing to song and bring two very separate things together.’ For tickets to the festival 24–28 November go to mullummusicfestival.com.au or by phone 02 6684 6195.

Avoid risking your health when you renovate New paints and ďŹ nishes are a large part of any renovation, whether it be on walls, oors, furniture or decks. The choice you make could mean a healthy new living space or an unhealthy living space (i.e. sick building syndrome). There are modern paints and wood ďŹ nishes available now that do not offgas into your room, and at the same time are healthier for our environment. These are called low-VOC paints and wood ďŹ nishes and can be synthetic or natural. Natural ďŹ nishes are, on the whole, not quite as durable as synthetic but can be even more healthier and create a beautiful look and feel. Both these types of paints and wood ďŹ nishes are sold at Painted Earth where the staff are also able to offer helpful advice for your on project.

cinema review The Trip Nine people out of ten will react in a similar way to a well-crafted, cheesy drama with a lot of heart (see Red Dog, but humour is a different kettle of fish altogether. What we laugh at is unique to every individual. Horrible Bosses, for mine, was occasionally amusing at best, whereas I found this laugh-out-loud hilarious. Michael Winterbottom is one of today’s more stimulating and unpredictable filmmakers – contrast In This World (2003), the powerful story of two Afghan refugees, with his droll adaptation of Laurence Sterne’s Tristram Shandy (2006). Here he reunites the two stars of the latter, Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon, and has them play themselves as the camera follows them from one exclusive

noshery to the next in England’s Lakes District. Coogan has been commissioned to write a foodie’s piece for the Observer and, when his American girlfriend Emma (Claire Keelan) needs to travel to America, he asks along his old mate Brydon at the last minute. It is not a mockumentary in the Christopher Guest/‘Kenny’ vein; instead it is a sometimes uncomfortably intimate but fictionalised account of close friends on the road together, away from their quotidian existence – in some ways it is reminiscent of Withnail and I, except that these two actors are well regarded, with established careers. Both brilliant impressionists – Michael Caine, Sean Connery, Woody Allen and plenty more easily identifiable luminaries come into play – the

pair inspire each other as much as they drive each other up the wall. But just as you feel that you have settled into a cosy travelogue – the landscape is beautifully shot – coloured by pithy repartee, you discover that Winterbottom, with the greatest stealth, has drawn you into Coogan’s lonely, unfulfilled, self-doubting world. Wanting to work with ‘auteurs’ rather than directors, he has been fortyone for three years and is both frustrated by and jealous of Brydon’s contentment with his less glamorous achievements and his happy domesticity. Dream sequences expose Coogan’s psyche with cruel mirth and, though it is hinted at, the journey’s end cannot be anticipated. I was rapt. ~ John Campbell

Horrible Bosses To all intents and purposes, this is The Hangover (Mark 3). Though not as execrable as that moneyspinner’s sequel, it exhibits the same ruthless and boorish determination to devalue the currency of dialogue and insult the intelligence of its audience. Or, put it this way, if you think that Jennifer Anniston is in any way contributing to the wit of mainstream cinema by telling a bloke ‘I am so going to suck your cock’, then you’ll be in raptures throughout – I don’t, and wasn’t. Likeable Jason Bateman, currently having his moment in the sun, is Nick, a sales rep whose boss Mr Harken (Kevin Spacey) is a hateful tyrant. Nick’s buddy Dale (Charlie Day), a dental nurse engaged to a dumb blonde, is being sexually harassed by the nymphomaniacal Dr Julia Harris (Anniston). The third klutz in the gang is Kurt (Jason Sudeikis), who is under the pump from the rat-bag coke fiend (Colin Farrell) who has inherited the company where Kurt works. They decide to put an end to their troubles by killing their bosses. The glaring reference to Strangers On A Train is finally acknowledged when they meet Motherfucker (Jaimie Foxx), whom they have mistakenly employed as a hit man. Motherfucker tells them to each murder one of

the other’s bosses so as not to be connected with the crime, ‘you know, like in that Alfred Hitchcock movie?’ The story is keenly if ludicrously plotted, but obsessed with the venal, as the new crop of American comic writers seem to be (they are like spoilt private schoolboys who want to show how down and dirty they can get – should we call it the Judd Apatow contagion?), it never elicits any feelings of empathy (at least from me it didn’t). The characters are not as ugly as those of Bridesmaids, but in the cases of Harken and Harris they are childishly overdone – Anniston is an actress deserving of much more worthy roles and Spacey, when indulged to this extent, is insufferably vain. It’s bound to make a fortune. ~ John Campbell

Super 8 You know that you’ll get a lot of bang for your buck when writer/ director J J Abrams is at the helm of a big-budget flick such as this. With Steven Spielberg as producer (his imprimatur is all over it), you can also rely on precedence being given to story over effects (spectacular though they are), and on an old-fashioned, positive moral tone asserting itself, with the hopefulness of ET never far away. In the blue-collar town of Lillian, Ohio, Joe (Joel Courtney) and a handful of his junior-high mates are making a short zombie movie that they hope will be selected in an upcoming festival. Joe’s recently widowed father, Deputy Lamb, disapproves of his son’s activities, but must cope with a much more serious problem when a freight train explodes during a derailment, setting free a terrifying but unseen power (in defending his community and protecting his boy, the Deputy’s plight is similar to the Sheriff ’s in Jaws). Thrown into the mix is the element of young love, as Joe falls head over heals for Alice (Elle Fanning – Dakota’s younger sister), the gorgeous blonde who will be star of the kids’ movie. In a master-class of how to build suspense, Abrams shifts emphasis from the parallel plotlines involving Joe and his father until they become inexorably linked. The outstanding child actors, the perfect, breathless pacing, the refreshing absence of cynicism and the celebration of the art and craft of film-making all combine to create a sense of unsullied youthful adventure. That Dr Woodward survived the collision with the train stretches a friendship, and how, at the end, the kids got themselves out of the pit is anybody’s guess (it’s as though there has been a whole scene edited out for brevity’s sake), but what the hell – this is, by a country mile, the best sci-fi thriller/monster movie that has come our way for yonks. If you only deign to see one of its genre this year, make it this. ~ John Campbell

Television Guide 1. A small-time investigator, played by Nicolas Cage, finds himself in deep guano when he stumbles upon a snuff movie in 8MM (7Mate, Friday, 9.30pm). 2. Nothing particularly ugly or truthful in the romantic comedy The Ugly Truth (NBN, Saturday, 9.15pm) when TV anchorpersons, played by the good-looking Gerard Butler and Katherine Heigl, go head to head. 3. It’s hard to believe but Anna Wintour, editor-inchief of Vogue for 20 years, carries more weight with the public than the Echo bosses. This is beautifully portrayed in The September Issue (ABC1, Sunday, 8.30pm).

Saving tuna Victoria Cosford

For decades, tuna in tins has been a stock pantry item for me. Chunks in brine have carried me through lean financial times and plumper physical ones; have been a tin-opener away from an easy pasta sauce or a simple summery salad; have constituted a fall-back option for evenings when cooking is frankly too much work. And then, some years ago, word spread that every time tuna-fish were captured and killed the joyously leaping dolphins which liked to cavort in their company were killed as well. Some schools of tuna species are believed to associate themselves with dolphins for protection against sharks, which are tuna predators, and commercial fishing vessels used to exploit this association by searching for dolphin pods. New government regulations and public outcry have since then led to altered fishing practices which are supposedly ‘dolphin-friendly’ – but in the meantime other problems were surfacing. Not only was the by-catch of tuna fishermen including more sharks and turtles as casualties, but many species of tuna were being increasingly over-fished, with some stocks at risk of total collapse. Suddenly it wasn’t just about saving dolphins, it was about saving bluefin, yellowfin, bigeye and albacore tuna. Since the 1960s, catches of the principal tuna species have increased fourfold – suddenly, that seemingly innocuous tin of tuna chunks sitting in my pantry turns out to be the increasingly rare yellowfin captured by destructive fishing methods. Thank God for Greenpeace. Each year Greenpeace Australia Pacific ranks Australia’s

tuna brands based on sustainability policies, tuna species, labelling, fishing methods used, use of unregulated or illegal products, and support for marine reserves and equitable tuna policies. Information is gathered by the organisation through brand responses to product surveys, correspondence with brands and retailers, product evaluation and publicly available information. Its most recent findings have revealed that the ‘Fish 4 Ever’ brand – available rather expensively at some IGA stores and health food stores – is the top-ranked tuna on the market for sustainability. Following that is the better-known brand Safcol (South Australian Fishermen’s Co-Operative Limited) whose new ‘pole and line’ range of tuna has yet to appear on supermarket shelves, though is expected to from October. The type of tuna used is skipjack, one of the few species that so far has not been overfished. So now I am guided in my choice of useful, economical, low-fat, high-protein, Omega-3 essential fatty acid- and Vitamin B12-rich tuna. And because in theory, at least, warm days are nearly upon us, I can contemplate a vibrant Salade Nicoise in a bowl brimming with chunky tuna and wedges of hard-boiled eggs and boiled waxy potatoes and snap-crisp green beans and black olives and red wine vinegar and my loveliest olive oil; or tuna fishcakes compounded of mashed potato and chopped green onions and lemon rind and parsley and shredded tuna bound in egg, floured and breadcrumbed and fried gently till golden; or a tomato sauce for fusilli made maritime with tuna and onions and capers and anchovies and a hint of chilli and lots of fresh parsley.

Pride restored as Red Devils storm into grand final John Campbell

The 2011 NRRRL season started in ignominy for the Byron Bay Red Devils. Premiers as recently as 2008, they were unable to field a team in the Agrade comp and, after cobbling together a side to make up the numbers in reserve grade, they lost at home in their first run to bitter rivals the Mullumbimby Giants. But things slowly picked up and, under the unwavering commitment of captain/coach Eli Colby, who was staunchly supported by a core of longserving loyalists the boys built. Team spirit was forged and confidence grew with victory. Before anybody knew it, the Bay had a group of players that would, collectively, put its body on the line for the jersey. On Sunday at Murwillumbah’s Stan Sercombe Oval, the Red Devils were rewarded for the self-respect that they have restored to the club with a thumping 46–14 victory over the Mur’bah Mustangs in their preliminary final. From the

ashes of April, they are now one win away from a premiership. Having done everything within his powers this year except find a pair of red shorts to match everybody else’s, Colby led the side on to a field that was soft underfoot after the previous days’ drenching. The Devils were quickly into their stride, defending with intensity and, when in possession, playing an expansive game with sure hands and an adventurous spirit. After the Mustangs opened the scoring, second-rower Brett ‘Choc’ Harvey smashed his opposite and, from the turnover, Sam Barnes and Jerry Deal found Peter Flannery running a beautiful angle. The speedy centre crossed untouched and, supplemented by five-eighth Adam ‘Lindsay’ Gordon’s conversion, Byron had established a lead that it was never going to relinquish. With Gordon directing traffic, full-back Bill ‘Don’t Argue’ Lowrie returning the ball vigorously and the side holding its formation steady, the Devils

The Red Devils’ rugged second-rower, Seb Lamilla, slams the ball down over the black line in Byron’s resounding victory over Murwillumbah on Sunday. Photo Tree Faerie

in quick succession ran in tries to Alex Niemack, Kane Bullock and Duane Cahill. But the lead of 20–4 only induced a period of sloth, during which the Bay allowed

Mur’bah to get back to 20–14. It was a half-time score that hardly reflected the balance of the contest. Thinking that they were a show after all, the Mustangs

started the second forty like a house on fire. They put the question to a still dithering Devils who were snapped out of their lethargy when Gordon sent Cahill sprinting down the

eastern sideline – there was a touch of Brian Bevan in Drano’s progress as he produced a beautiful in-and-away to beat the full-back and register his second four-pointer. Another try to Bullock and one to second-rower Seb Lamilla soon followed, before an absolute classic sixty-metre movement in which the ball passed through half-a-dozen pairs of hands before being delivered to hooker Ben Webber, backing up on the inside, who dived under the posts. Lowrie concluded the scoring for the Devils, but it was a tackle near the death that exemplified the boys’ newfound dedication and desire. Ahead 46–14, a try to the Mustangs would have been neither here nor there, but with their winger all but over, Harvey came from the clouds and buried him in a ferocious covering tackle. Byron now face the undefeated Cudgen Hornets in the decider at Grafton next Sunday. Rest assured, the Devils won’t die wondering.

Bankers drop Geckos Last round of match season for junior league in NSM derby Brian Mollet

The clouds miraculously parted on Sunday for local derby day in the Nick Shand Memorial cricket series where, at Lomath Oval, defending champs and giants of the local game the Left Bankers took on the skinny weird guys of the competition, the Geckos. Early thoughts of a mismatch were dispelled as the Bankers hit the field and it became apparent that the lush patches of clover concealed large standing lakes. Gawkers were rewarded more than sports purists in the first session as there were pratfalls aplenty, Bruce’s legsup butt slide the pick of them. Matt started with an audacious slap-over point for six,but otherwise it was like trying to score at a Mormon disco. Saint Seymore clearly decided he had taken enough bodyblows as the Moonshiners’ hooker this year, patting a Clay rib-tickler to short leg. Ali and Matt scrambled for

www.echo.net.au

runs but Snakebite’s toes were really twinkling (it may have been the moisture), his parabolic deliveries proving hard to get away. Che, like Dolly Parton, controlled his big swingers well, snaking one back into Matt’s stumps. Russ then took up the ball and wrecked the middle order like a gang of Birmingham hoodies in a street full of KMarts. James (23) and Greg (16) salvaged what they could of the innings but with the ground belatedly drying out 95 was a bit of a shy target. The resumption saw Che and Bruce playing very steadily and the conclusion looked as foregone as a Senate enquiry when Matt’s lively spell removed both. Wearing the mantle of the Shand comp’s eldest participant, Peter Wynne-Moylan obviously doesn’t know when to give up. Bagging a pair of wickets himself, he kept the Geckos in with a chance, especially when a jittery Russ left a trail of facial freckles on the pitch while being run out by St Seymore. Clay, however, held it together for the Bankers, and when he left the field with 31 to his name he took the threat of a Geckos’ win with him. Once again the Bankers ended up ahead of the game, winning with a wicket and three overs to spare. Next week the Suffolk Swingers try to pass the Bankers a dud cheque.

In wet conditions the Mullumbimby Junior Giants contested the last round of games for the group 18 competition on Saturday and posted some great results. Unfortunately the under 7s had a forfeit but the under 9s had a great last game against Cudgen. Afterwards the kids enjoyed a sausage sizzle and presentation of trophies. The under 10s defeated Byron Bay 28–12 to move through to next week’s minor semifinal. Kyle Bungie was awarded man of the match for a huge effort and playing well above his weight; he was well supported by Kane, Hayden, Dylan and Ben. A big welcome back to Max, who played like we have all come to expect from the big man. In the last game of the season the under 11s came up against red hot competition

THE BILLYGOATS

leaders Bilambil and didn’t get to finish the year with a win. They have been a great team again this year and will only be bigger and better next season when they all run out in the under 12s. Well done boys! The under 12s finished the season in a great way with an 18–12 win against Byron Bay. All the boys really lifted which made for a very exciting game. Stand-out players were Brody Butler, Thomas Archibald, Aiden Cuthbert and Ben Clothier. After a hard season the under 13s really dug deep to come away with a 32–24 win over Byron Bay.

very proud to have finished the season on such a positive note. The under 14s wrapped up the minor premiership with a 16–10 win over Bilambil in very wet conditions. The boys started slow, going into halftime down 1–0 but a strong start to the second half saw Mullumbimby’s defensive pressure turn into points. Best for the

day were Jack, Dylan, Harry and Tom. A great display of wetweather football gave the under 16s a morale-boosting 26–6 win over Tweed Coast. The boys will now progress to next week’s minor semi against South Tweed at Mullumbimby. We wish them the best of luck. 20:03

Swingers battle Tossers at Suffolk in Shand MKII Sport shorts Jan Safranek

With sports fans around the country still tingling from an exciting Tri Nations victory, eyes turned from Lang Park to the Suffolk Park oval to witness the hotly awaited clash between the Byron Full Tossers and Suffolk Park Swingers, part of this year’s Nick Shand Memorial Cricket Trophy. The week’s wet weather hadn’t been very kind to the mossy turf, giving the outfield the consistency of a wet bath sponge. Not discouraged, two teams of athletes presented themselves to do battle. In sunny overhead conditions Swingers’ captain Levi won the toss and chose to bowl with the promise of a drying strip. The openers started cautiously scoring in singles. Runs along the ground were as hard to come by as coal-seam gas leases would be in Byron Shire. Despite the Swingers’ attempts

to nurture the new ball like an IVF baby, the wet grass soon accounted for the shine. Jan and Fayez holed out trying to bring the run-rate on with aerial shots. This made way for Richie and Greg to bring the runs on. After a big six into the carpark, Greg was looking as if he was going to carry his bat when Bruce produced the ball of the day that, true to their team’s name, swung both ways and took out his stumps. Richie went on to get his 30 and with a useful knock from Simo, the Tossers got to 120. In response, the Swingers again started slowly but as the runs stared to trickle in, DeadEye Eddie produced a worldclass runout to dismiss Bruce. This made way for Scotty who made the Byron bowling look as useful as Tiger Woods’s marriage counsellor. He and Karl put Suffolk into a commanding position at drinks. No chickens were prematurely

counted and a flurry of wickets including a diving one-handed catch from Fayez brought Suffolk captain Levi to the crease. After the wiley Greg ordered as many field changes as Levi drinks schooners on a Friday night, the trap was set. A top edge and a fine catch plucked out of the cloudless Suffolk sky brought about his canard d’or. The silence that then fell over the ground as Scotty strode back out of retirement was only momentarily broken by the sound of Lionel’s musical drinks cooler. A four off the first ball brought cheers from the Swingers’ fans. With only one wicket remaining Scotty tapped a single to edge past the finishing post. In normal Nick Shand fashion the final over was to be finished in the interests of sport. This led to Christian falling to a fine catch the very next ball. The Swingers had started their celebrations. But before you

Byron Bay basketball is back completion in mid December, the jostle has begun to secure time on both the indoor and outdoor areas. One group who are going hell for leather to raise money and awareness (and to gain indoor space!) is the Byron Bay Basketball Association BBBA. Their wish is to have the funds and infrastructure to hit the ground running with programs of competition, coaching and development for juniors, seniors, coaches and referees – their overriding agenda being to bring basketball back into the consciousness and lives of Byronians. To raise funds and awareness BBBA is putting on a

fundraiser in conjunction with The Buddha Bar and Pighouse Flicks on Friday September 9. It plans to be a night of music and madness. Local business have pledged over a thousand dollars in giveaways. Sydneybased local lads (and ballers) The Paper Scissors will be playing some old JJJ hits plus more. There will also be ‘child-friendly’ basketball films shown in the Pighouse Theatre. Local long time b’baller DJ Goodie will be filling in the gaps with beats. There will be raffles, and free beer tastings courtesy of The Brewery. Any enquiries or donations, please ring 0402 923 144 or bret@internode.on.net.

MHS Open League Last Thursday Mullumbimby High School played Georges River College Oatley Campus in the state quarter final (final 8) at Henson Park in Sydney. Mullumbimby won the game 24–18 to progress to a semi final against Bathurst High School with the winner progressing to the grand final. The grand final is on September 13 at Shark Park in Sydney. Man of the Match was Matt Mulcahy, kicking four from four and scoring two tries. Outstanding performances by the entire squad with special mention to Eden Syme, Aaron Booth, Tyane Boucaut and Sean Watkins. Georges River were a much larger team; however, the MHS boys played with a lot of heart.

Tweed Byron district bowls

According to Miles Davis, basketball is the most musical game on the planet. A sport totally reliant on rhythm and communication in a confined space. References to it and its player’s raw skills are littered through hip-hop lyrics. Unbeknownst to most Shire dwellers, Byron has a dedicated, seriously talented basketball community. For example the Byron Men’s team recently won both the Lismore and Ballina A grade competitions. And woman players from Byron are the guns on the Ballina State League Team. With the new Byron Sporting Fields and Stadium due for

could say ‘Eleven schooners of Coopers’ the spectre of controversy once again shrouded the Suffolk Park Oval. Scores were counted and recounted. Original count was Tossers 120: Swingers 121. Another count suggested Tossers 122 : Swingers 117. Before an official application was drafted and sent in triplicate to gain access to the hallowed ‘invisible rule book’, it was pointed out that what with the withdrawal of the Main Arm team from this year’s competition, the result of this group-stage game would not affect either team’s progression to this year’s semifinals. Tossers’ captain Ash conceded to the original score so once again the celebrations could be heard all the way to the Suffolk Park Hotel. A fantastic day of winter cricket was had, and rest assured that should these teams meet in the finals stage, the game will be also be a cracker.

Group A Play-offs for singles, pairs, triples and fours was finalised at Lismore Heights Workers Club last Tuesday and Wednesday. Weather-wise, Tuesday was an atrocious day for all contestants as heavy rains and wind brought about a very late start for the day, culminating in game interruptions, super heavy greens and late finishes. Pairs were represented by Cabarita’s Valerie Dudley and Clare Hill. The girls won their semifinal against Maclean but were overcome by Ballina’s team, in the final, by a mere four shots.

James and Margaret McConville defeated Alstonville in their triples semifinal, but went down to Park Beach in their final. A great effort from these wonderful bowlers. The weather on Wednesday was much kinder to the singles and fours players. However, the ladies found themselves still having to ‘hurl’ the bowls down the greens in the heavy conditions. Cabarita’s Joy Lake won her semifinal against Cathryn Aitchison from Yamba. The final between Judy Monks (Park Beach) and Joy Lake was a spectators’ delight with incredible shots being produced by both women. Monks gained

the lead early, held on and eventually took out the title. Cabarita’s reps in the fours semifinal, Michelle Mantell, Pat Rannie, Gwen Coustley and Clare Hill had a tough game against Grafton. Scoring see-sawed throughout the match with a tied game after 21 ends. In a nail-biting extra end, Grafton took the game with a one-shot margin. Congratulations to all the ladies from our district who contested these titles. Tweed Byron District WBA is proud of your efforts and extend best wishes to all winners at this event for good bowling when they head off to the state titles in October.

Mortgage insurer welcomes govt fact sheet Property In Focus p59

Business Directory p54

Auctions & Inspections p59

Mortgage insurer Genworth has welcomed the federal government’s announcement on its bank competition reform package relating to a mandatory mortgage fact sheet about Lenders Mortgage Insurance for homebuyers. Genworth supports the move, which will help home buyers compare ‘apples with apples’ and get the right deal for them plus help consumers better understand the costs and benefits of Lenders Mortgage Insurance when taking out a home loan. The government’s move follows initiatives to create more competition in the mortgage market and now mandates increased disclosure and transparency for homebuyers who may require Lenders Mortgage Insurance. Genworth’s view is that the mandatory fact sheet could be similar to the government’s Key Fact Sheet for home loans, and could be handed out by lenders just prior to borrowers signing their home loan contract. Genworth CEO and President Ellie Comerford said Genworth has been working with key stakeholders such as the federal government, lenders,

the Insurance Council of Australia and all political parties on a proposed Lenders Mortgage Insurance fact sheet for some time. ‘Genworth believes it is important that homebuyers know how Lenders Mortgage Insurance works and the benefits it offers, plus their potential rights in relation to existing refund schedules if they switch home loans. Genworth supports this move to improve disclosure and transparency for homebuyers. We also support Treasury’s findings and the government’s decision to rule out the introduction of a scheme to allow the transfer of Lenders Mortgage Insurance between lenders,’ Comerford said. According to Genworth, Lenders Mortgage Insurance is critical in helping make homes more affordable. It enables home ownership for Australians with less than a 20 per cent deposit but who have a capacity to meet their mortgage repayments. About 90 per cent of loans to first homebuyers are supported by Lenders Mortgage Insurance, allowing them to enter the housing market sooner and assisting

with housing affordability. Genworth wants to ensure consumers: t BSF BXBSF PG -.* BOE UIF SFBTPO for the lender requiring mortgage insurance; t BSF BXBSF PG UIF DPTUJOH BOE IPX LMI reduces the interest rate borrowers with a deposit less than 20% would otherwise have to pay; t BSF BXBSF QBZNFOU JT NPTU PGUFO spread evenly over the entire term of the loan and often capitalised into the loan for as little as the cost of a cup of coffee a day; t LOPX BOE BWBJM UIFNTFMWFT XIFSF applicable, of existing refund programs already offered by lenders in the first two years; and t LOPX UIBU TPNF MFOEFST IBWF DIPTFO to provide a discounted mortgage insurance cost to borrowers at the outset of the loan in lieu of refunds. ‘Recent consumer focus group research commissioned by Genworth and conducted by UMR Research found overall most consumers consider Lenders Mortgage Insurance important as it helps Australians get

onto the property ladder sooner,’ Comerford said. ‘Homebuyers and owners also like that Lenders Mortgage Insurance has been in Australia since 1965, and was introduced as a government policy and run as a government-owned business for many years – this reinforces it as an integral part of the home loan market. ‘Consumers also valued that LMI is a community-priced product, as opposed to a risk-based priced one (which could negatively impact on those in less affluent areas). Community pricing means that borrowers who take out loans (in the same loanto-value category) pay the same for Lenders Mortgage Insurance whether they live in, for example, Western Sydney, Brisbane or regional Australia. ‘Genworth looks forward to continuing its positive dialogue with the Gillard government, coalition, Greens and independents on mortgage insurance and in particular to provide input during the consultation process for drafting the government’s mandatory fact sheet about Lenders Mortgage Insurance.’
