Mullum turns on community food Chris Dobney

The first Mullumbimby Local Food Festival on Saturday saw Mullum doing what Mullum does best: grassroots creativity with enthusiasm, authenticity and originality. And lots of fun. Where else would you see a pink unicorn playing guitar in a community garden? The beautiful mandala garden was full of twisting paths, herbs, veggies and permaculture perennials such as amaranth, arrowroot, lemongrass, comfrey and much more. The sunny day led to lots of long chats, large cups of homemade lemonade and organic pizzas hauled straight from the handmade clay oven. People sitting around on hay bales listened to gardening guru Jerry Coleby-Williams of ABC’s Gardening Australia and local-food pioneer Helena Norberg-Hodge. Staffing the Byron Council stall was none other than mayor Jan Barham herself, lounging in a lovely sun frock and yarning to constituents about how nice it was to be back in the Shire after weeks spent in Macquarie Street meetings. There were many other stalls too, from seed savers to bush foods and

hemp farm promoters. The day’s event – the first of its kind – raised a few hundred dollars for the garden, which will do doubt go quite a long way given the volunteer nature of the place.

But its real value was in the publicity it afforded. One resident who lives right by the garden had never visited until Saturday – and was amazed by what she saw. ‘I had no idea it was so organised and established,’ she told The Echo.

‘It’s great that people are prepared to put so much energy into projects like this.’ The day was sponsored by Byron Shire Council. Q For more pictures visit Monday’s edition of www.echonetdaily.net.au.

Questions regarding population projections and traffic management of the West Byron Project have emerged this week after a public meeting was held by the Department of Planning and the developers. Plans for the significant new land release, which would effectively add a new suburb to Byron Bay, is currently on display. The meeting drew some criticism by community members who were also concerned about the lack of discussion and unanswered questions. Activist and representative of the Byron Environmental and Conservation Organisation (BEACON), Dailan Pugh, told The Echo he was disappointed because BEACON had only agreed to attend after the department of planning and infrastructure assured them that they would be given the opportunity, along with other members of the community, to discuss alternative uses of the site and present their concerns directly to the department. continued on page 2

Ex-GJ Gardner Ballina director denies wrongdoing Simeon Michaels

C and E Structures director Michael Hodgkinson has spoken for the first time since the collapse of the GJ Gardner Ballina franchise, claiming that his company tried to repay the money owed to tradesman. The franchise was terminated by the statewide GJ Gardner office last month, and Mr Hodgkinson confirmed to The Echo that the company owes an estimated half a million dollars. ‘About half is owed to tradespeople, the remainder to suppliers,’ he said. He believes that he and Mr Eagles are among C and E Structures’ largest creditors, having injected funds into

the business to keep it afloat. While he admits that tradespeople have been left seriously out of pocket, he denies that debts were run up wilfully or recklessly. ‘In the building game, there are seasonal cash-flow problems and we were experiencing one in August. ‘In the past an investor helped us to cover the shortfall, but he was caught up in the collapse of a super fund and unable to finance us that time around. ‘Rather than get in deeper we approached the GJ Gardner Tweed Office. At the time we had six or seven unfinished homes and four new homes on the books. ‘Completing all of those would have

seen $250,000 in profit, so in late August we offered the Tweed office our franchise for $250,000.’ Mr Hodgkinson says they intended to use the money to pay out the tradespeople. ‘We opened our books to Tweed and NSW Head Office. They came back to us with an offer of $75,000. ‘We refused it,’ he said.

Offer refused It was then, according to Mr Hodgkinson, that GJ Gardner NSW terminated the franchise. The NSW office initially agreed to allow C and E Structures to complete the homes, but Hodgkinson says, ‘At that stage head

<echowebsection=Local News>

office knew we weren’t in a position to.’ While Mr Hodgkinson acknowledged that it’s hard to find a buyer for a failed business, he says that he and Mr Eagles attempted to exit the business in a manner which would allow them to pay out the tradespeople.

NSW office reposnds However, Matthew Hope of Gardner’s NSW office says that the unfinished houses on Ballina’s books were a $400,000 liability and that Ballina were ‘completely unreasonable with their demands.’ He also provided The Echo with an email from Mr Eagles asking head office to write off $133,000 in franchise

fees. ‘We were left with no option but to terminate our relationship with C and E Structures Pty Ltd given the amounts owed under the franchise agreement and the growing number of complaints,’ he said. ‘Our Tweed Heads office is now trying to assist customers to complete their homes with the assistance of the Home Owners Warranty Scheme. ‘We have also met with the local tradespeople to assure them that they will be given the first right at any upcoming work in completing these homes,’ said Mr Hope. Mr Hodgkinson expects to face a court-appointed liquidator in the near future.

West Byron Project draws flak continued from page 1

‘The agenda set aside 50 minutes for this,’ he said. ‘Contrary to their assurances, the department refused us the opportunity to have our say; only allowed the developers to make a presentation, and limited us to asking questions of the developers, many of which they refused to answer. The process is meant to consider alternative uses of the site, but the department is obviously not interested,’ he said.

Population increase While the project managers say they can ‘only deal with broad statistics,’ the website’s FAQ claims the overall ‘increase of Byron Bay’s population will be just over 1,000’, for the new development – an estimation that Mr Pugh claims is inaccurate. ‘My experience as a resident of Byron is opposite to this as most of my neighbours fill in garages, rent rooms, illegally convert houses into flats, or run illegal backpackers.’ Mr Pugh says he has informed the department of planning (DoP) of the 1,000 claim and has asked them, ‘to assess this independently and

inform the community of the true figures so that they could make informed decisions. ‘I won’t hold my breath.’ The spokesperson for the development played down the claims, however. ‘This figure needs to be considered in relation to overall population trends to determine the likely impact on the population of Byron Bay. ‘The average occupancy rate in the far north coast region is expected to slowly decline in the long term. That expectation is based on government analysis and documents. ‘The NSW department of planning’s Far North Coast Regional Strategy estimates that the region will need 51,000 dwellings to accommodate 60,000 people in the next 20 years, but that does not mean there will be an average of 1.2 persons in each new dwelling. ‘It means that by the time West Byron is fully developed, its net input to Byron Bay’s population will be 850 x 1.2 = 1,020. ‘That is an artificially precise figure at this stage of the process, so we say “just over 1,000�.’ When asked about the inclusion of population estimates in

the business and retail areas, the spokesperson for the development said, ‘The study used an average density of 25 dwellings per hectare in the neighbourhood centre, ten dwellings per hectare in the mixed use live/ work area, and 17 dwellings per hectare (not 17 lots per hectare) on unconstrained residential land. We allowed for reduced densities on constrained land. ‘This yielded the estimate of 850 dwellings.’

Traffic concerns West Byron’s website FAQ claims that estimates by Council and by the West Byron project, ‘indicate that the development will be responsible for about 12 per cent of the total traffic on Ewingsdale Road in about 20 years’ time.’ ‘Access to the development itself will be by two main roundabouts. Council’s planning already includes a roundabout at the Bayshore Drive / Ewingsdale Road intersection. ‘West Byron will tap into that roundabout, and there will be another roundabout at the east near the School of Audio Engineering. When asked whether traffic

generated by the new Sports and Cultural site and proposed hospital were taken into account, the spokesperson for the development said it was, along with other existing approvals including Becton and Bayshore Village (opposite Byron IGA). ‘They were also included in Council’s 2009 “Main Roadâ€? 545 traffic study.’ Ex-councillor John Lazarus has echoed similar concerns to Mr Pugh, claiming the plans are based on old projections. ‘Their single proposal would fulfil the entire Far North Coast Regional Strategy projections for housing for the next 20 years for this Shire’s entire coastal strip.’ Other issues addressed on the website include affordable housing, flooding, social impact, water management.

Investing in ‘main street’: building resilient communities Mary Gardner

Around 200 people heard last Thursday in Byron Bay how Australian communities and investment can support the ‘return to Main Street’. Here, ‘Main Street’ stands for the renewal of local communities with local investment and business. It is the ongoing work of Energising Communities (www. energisingcommunities.org. au). In Byron Bay corporate lawyers and communications experts organised eleven

speakers, including live video links with Michael Shuman, NY director of Business Alliance for Local Living Economies (BALLE) and Martin Blake, UK carbon zero solutions expert speaking from Singapore.

Govts back unsound globalisation Mr Shuman explained that governments worldwide back a type of globalisation he called ‘TINA’ – There Is No Alternative. These are the global con-

glomerates, speculative trading and sub-prime mortgages which delivered the Global Financial Crisis of 2008. He explains there is an alternative, ‘LOIS’: Locally Owned Import Substitution. Paul Niederer, CEO Australian Small Scale Offerings Board (ASSOB), pointed out that when the $1.3 trillion traded on the stock market is analysed, only 4.7 per cent is activity based on products and services. The rest is speculative, little more than gambling. He explained how ASSOB provides

advice and an internet platform to help small enterprises raise large amounts of capital. Energising Communities selected Byron Bay Community Centre as an outstanding example of community enterprise. BBCC manager Paul Spooner said that largely through the work of some 200 volunteers the centre offers services for the homeless, administers no-interest loans and maintains a highquality theatre. He sees a new service in developing local enterprises as with the new collective of local fashion designers.

Affordable housing initiatives led by sister Council Simeon Michaels

With a national shortage of affordable housing, one council is providing leadership. And it’s just an hour or so drive south. Clarence Valley Council employed Naydene Beaver as an affordable housing officer in 2007, then secured a federal grant of $880,000 to seed a 35-lot subdivision on Council-owned land. Twenty-eight lots have already been sold at a $10,000 discount to market valuation,’ says Ms Beaver. ‘Having paid off $2 million in development costs, Council estimates a profit of $1.9 million into its land development fund. ‘Clarence also has a policy requiring that one in ten new residences be affordable. ‘Developers have an option to dot 400m2 blocks among larger sites. Alternatively, they may provide Council with a

400m2 block.’ Clarence Council also runs an affordable rental scheme in partnership with the NSW Department of Lands and Community Housing Ltd (CHL), a not-for-profit.

Council stake ‘Council donated two blocks of land to the scheme,’ says Ms Beaver. ‘CHL was entrusted with the construction and administration of the properties. ‘Eight CBD units have been built. Units are registered under NRAS and leased at 75 per cent of the market rent to key workers such as aged and child carers. ‘Significantly, Council retains a stake in the units, allowing it to ensure affordability for tenants and potential revenue for Council in the long term. ‘The National Rental Affordability Scheme (NRAS) provides landlords with a tax free

bonus of $9524 per annum for each dwelling available at 20 per cent under market value for ten years.’ Most of Australia’s affordable housing is public housing, owned and operated by government agencies such as Housing NSW. However, in the five years to 2009, housing supplied by not-for-profits and other community organisations including local councils grew from 6.4 to 9.3 per cent of all affordable housing (Source: AIHW 2005/10b).

Definition

social fabric unencumbered by pure economic factors. Affordable housing is usually defined as housing that is available to rent or buy at 25 per cent below market rate. The logic behind the definition is that in most developed countries, a significant percentage of the population isn’t completely without means, but fall an average of 25 percent short of affording to rent or buy. For this section of the population, renting or buying at full market rate creates severe rental or mortgage stress. In a joint-ownership model, community organisations bridge that 25 per cent gap, assisting elderly, single and low wageearning families to get off the treadmill and into a long-term ownership or rental scenario.

Joint-ownership models between government and even the private sector operate successfully in Europe and the UK, which often provide life-long rental arrangements. Q Next week’s article will Housing security strength- examine affordable housing in ens a community; it provides a Byron Shire.

Bullying allegations whitewashed by department Chris Dobney

Bullying at Ballina High School needs to be reigned in, according to both parents and students, however the education department appears to be doing little to address it. It comes after a boy pulled a knife at the school and reportedly held a senior teacher hostage a fortnight ago. Two days after the incident, the mother of a girl who attends Ballina High went public in the local media about her concerns, saying his actions were motivated by ongoing bullying. ‘He is a very quiet boy but he had had enough,’ she told The Echo this week. ‘He wanted to kill the boy who had been bullying him. What he said to [my daughter] was that if he couldn’t kill the bully, he would kill himself. ‘Before it happened he was giving stuff away and paying out debts to kids – and he told them what he was going to do.’ The Echo last week sent a series of questions to the NSW Dept of Education and Training (DEET). The questions were responded to in only the most general of terms and some were not responded to at all. The department did not answer whether it was mounting an investigation into the knife incident, when it would be reporting and whether its report would be made public. Nor did it answer whether there was any investigation into the allegations of bullying. The spokesperson did say

that, ‘as a matter of course, victims are offered support and disciplinary action is taken as necessary, separately to any police action’. They also said that after the knife incident, ‘which finished at 10.15am, counselling was offered to all students by 11.30am the same day; further counselling was offered to a particular group the following day, and their parents were contacted the next day’.

Conflicting reports The mother says her daughter told her ‘there was a meeting after the incident in relation to the boy where the children were told not to tell anyone. [My daughter] said that she did not recall being offered any counselling at that meeting.’ She adds that ‘the lockdown procedure [during the incident], according to numerous kids who experienced it was bullshit… no one followed through on what they were meant to do. Some teachers said to ignore it, that it was just a drill.’ The department countered that ‘the lockdown process was fully implemented as it applies to the school, which is nonetheless always open to suggestions for improvement’. The spokesperson said there was no connection to an attack on the woman’s own daughter and two of her friends by three older girls several months earlier, admitting that it was an act of violence but denying it

contained aspects of bullying. But the mother says that the girls had been threatened earlier in the day, and that after what she described as ‘an ambush’ that was recorded on a mobile phone, her daughter was subjected to ongoing cyber bullying in the form of threatening phone messages. ‘I told the principal about her fears as the perpetrators were still leaving her threatening phone calls etc in the time they were [suspended]. The principal said that he wasn’t sure what he could do about it when it was outside school time.’ The mother said that when she asked about the school’s bullying policy in her meeting with the principal she was

referred to the Ballina High website. Ballina High school’s antibullying policy, as outlined on its website, reads in part: ‘We work hard to prevent bullying in our school and we recognise that the best outcomes are achieved by school communities, parents, students and teachers, working together to help prevent and to respond to bullying. ‘Our Anti-bullying Plan includes protection, prevention, early intervention and response strategies for student bullying. ‘Any student who experiences bullying and any person who witnesses bullying should report it to a teacher or the school principal.’

Alice Springs and Uluru were the destination for the Byron Scouts recently, and the trip in early October heralded tales of canoeing, billycarting, hiking, riding camels and sleeping in swags under the stars in dingo land. Byron Cub leader Bryony Pearson said, ‘One of the more lasting highlights has to be the valuable and treasured link we made with the Alice Springs Scout group.

Inspiring principal awarded For the past 12 years, principal Simon Cook has been teaching the kids of Wilsons Creek primary school, and this week his committment as a professional educator was recognised at the the NEiTA 2011 ASG Inspirational Teaching Awards. ‘This award is more about everyone and less about me,’ said Mr Cook, who was bashful about the award. ‘I feel it is a recognition of the whole community of Wilsons Creek. We have a very committed community of talented and capable people. ‘This is about the goodwill of the entire community without whose support schools struggle.’ The school has benefited greatly from his leadership over the years, with many buildings

Mullum school stages open fair Mullumbimby Public School’s November fair celebrations have this year been expanded to include all 2010 graduates and all possible 2012 kindergarten students. Previously the school has restricted its November Fair to current students only, letting them enjoy their end-ofyear celebrations at their own huge party. This year, however, sentimentality and the school’s welcoming spirit have opened the gates to others in the community; everybody in town is welcome. The November Fair will be held on Friday November 4, in the grounds of the Mullumbimby Public School, starting at 4.30pm. The fireworks display starts at 8.30pm.

Police force used after motorist becomes abusive Chris Dobney

Capsicum spray was used on an Upper Main Arm man following a public altercation with police on the road to Mullumbimby last Tuesday afternoon. During the arrest that followed, police allege the man kicked a senior constable in the stomach and bit another senior constable on the left arm. Police say that initially when they searched the car they found some small amounts of

marijuana and what appeared to be a magic mushroom. The Echo was alerted to the incident by a local who was driving past and noticed a man who he recognised ‘handcuffed on the ground in the hot sun’ near the entrance to the town. ‘One plainclothes detective was standing over him. They had him handcuffed behind his back kneeling on the ground in an uncomfortable position. He was sobbing and saying something,’ the concerned caller told us.

He described the man as ‘a long-term local,’ and ‘a really passive, alternative sort of fellow in his late 40s or 50s. He appeared to be traumatised.’ Police have said that a uniformed police patrol stopped the man’s Subaru Impreza at Manns Rd, Mullumbimby, initially for a licence check, at around 2pm. They say that the plainclothes detective arrived later in response to a request for assistance.

’S WORLD CLASS RIDE-ON DAY IS ON AGAIN!

As they approached driver’s side of the vehicle police say the 50-year-old man ‘quickly exited the vehicle and was shouting abuse’. They say he was given a number of warnings in relation to behaviour and offensive language. The man will appear in Mullumbimby local court on November 17 charged with resisting arrest, assaulting police, possession of prohibited drugs and behaving in an offensive manner.

Grants announced for north coast events The Byron Bay International Film Festival, along with The Australian Longboard Surfing Open (formerly Malfunction) at Kingscliff, and Casino Beef Week, have secured grant funds totaling $40,000 this week. The grants were announced by the NSW minister for tourism George Souris on Friday, and were amongst 32 events in regional NSW to receive funding under Destination NSW’s

Regional Flagship Events Program. The Byron Bay International Film Festival (BBFF) received triennial funding of $20,000 over three years; Casino Beef Week and the Australian Longboard Surfing Open each received $10,000 in funding for the 2012 events. Northern Rivers Tourism (NRT) CEO Russell Mills welcomed the grants as ‘a vital boost for the long-term future of events in our region.’ Now it its sixth year, BBFF

has a very strong community focus, which the funding recognises. Festival Director J’aimee Skippon-Volke says, ‘triennial funding will create for the Byron Bay International Film Festival to be promoted year round across Australia and the world. There’s a lot of interest growing for BBFF and the timing of this support couldn’t be better.’ The event has previously received Flagship Funding, but only at about half the current

rate. J’aimee told The Echo, ‘we want to reinforce local values, whether political, musical or artistic – right down to surf and beach culture.’

Local News The quest to reduce singleuse plastic bottles and letting them enter the environment has been taken up with a local water filtration company. AlkaWay has joined other environmental and humanitarian non-profit organisations that are currently running Operation Monsoon, which also aims to provide four million litres of clean, safe drinking water to Sumba in Indonesia. AlkaWay’s general manager, Graham Correy, said, ‘Only one per cent of all the water on the

planet is accessible to humans and much of that is so polluted it’s killing thousands of us every day. With one bottle for life, you can have filtered alkaline water for about ten cents a litre compared to bottled water for two dollars a litre. Plus you get rid of plastic garbage and help save lives. It’s a win-win-win.’ The campaign is supported by surfing’s top athletes including Kelly Slater, Mick Fanning, Taj Burrow and Dan Ross. For more visit onebottleforlife.com.

another, Zimbabwe, resigned altogether rather than face the same censure. But this is precisely the Commonwealth’s strength. It brings together this melting pot on a regular basis and alerts nations of different forms of government, economic and social structures, to each other’s problems and needs. The United Nations, of course, is supposed to do this too, but

by Mungo MacCallum the Commonwealth does it in a less formal and structured way, one designed to achieve consensus where possible rather than simply resolve disputes. And of course the numbers are rather more manageable. Does this provide value for money? It depends where you draw the bottom line. From an accountant’s perspective perhaps that $55 million and the political time and effort that goes with it could be better spent on APEC or the G20, more practical and immediately relevant organisations – and ones which, crucially, include the United States and its great rival, China. But surely we can do both – walk and chew gum at the same time, as LBJ almost put it. Our attachment to the Commonwealth undoubtedly has quite a bit to do with sporting links, tradition and sentimentality. But in today’s bleak world, these are not such bad ideas to keep alive.

A charter of democracy and human rights got up – well, sort of – but a recommendation for an independent commissioner to enforce it did not.

monwealth who retain the English monarch as their head of state – that’s right, just 16 out of 54 – was that future English monarchs will be allowed to marry Roman Catholics. Whoop de bloody do. They will not, of course be allowed to become Catholics themselves – or Buddhists, or Hindus or Moslems or Scientologists or even atheists; British monarchs must remain resolutely Anglican, defenders of the faith invented by King Henry VIII so he could divorce his wife and marry his mistress nearly six centuries ago. But they will be allowed to be sheilas. This is an even bigger break with tradition; after all, the rule that sons take precedence over daughters irrespective of age goes back to the year dot. For the English prime minister to seek to change it now, to bring the monarchy into line with such radical institutions as the Pharaohs of ancient Egypt, is a bold move indeed. Why, in a few centuries it may become possible for the

head of the Commonwealth to be a foreigner – even, horror of horrors, an Australian. But no. The latest royal visit has made it clear that we are content with the status quo, at least as long as the current queen remains in place. It is an interesting anomaly; in many areas of public life – the presidency of the United States springs to mind — the respect is for the position, irrespective of the person who occupies it. But for our own head of state the reverse seems to apply: we really don’t care all that much about the monarchy as such but we retain a genuine affection for our Liz. As Henry Lawson wrote of another queen more than a century ago: The Queen has lived for seventy years, for seventy years and three*; And few have lived a flatter life, more useless life than she; She never said a clever thing or wrote a clever line, She never did a noble deed, in coming times to shine; And yet we read, and still we read, in every magazine, The praises of that woman whom the English call ‘the Queen’, Whom the English call ‘the Queen’, Whom the English call ‘the Queen’, — That ordinary woman whom the English call ‘the Queen’.

Perhaps that’s the secret of her appeal: her ordinariness. After all, it worked for John Howard. And it gives the illusion of democracy; after all, if she can be our monarch, just about anyone can. In your dreams, peasant. The Royal Boiler rules, okay? *Well, eighty years and five in Elizabeth’s case Q See also Mungo’s video at

Byron Landholders’ proposed massive development along Ewingsdale road is being misrepresented and understated to lull the community into a false sense of complacency. The West Byron Landholders claim on their website that their development only proposes 850 dwellings, but the figures given in their plans show that they are seeking approval for a minimum of 980 dwellings. Byron Bay and Suffolk Park have a population of around 10,000 people. The Landholders claim in The Echo (October 25) that their development will result in a population of about 1,000 people. Based on their understated dwellings, their website claims that their development will result in up to 2,000 people and their traffic study says it will be 2,200 people. At current occupancy rates their minimum of 980 dwellings will support a minimum

DOL’s land grab NSW Lands Department’s aggressive demand for the ‘compulsory acquisition’ of encroached road reserve land in Brunswick Heads offers no public benefit, and is required for the sole purpose of providing commercial advantage to the North Coast Holiday Parks. The Department of Lands (DoL) received 285 submissions following the exhibition of Plans of Management for The Terrace and Massey Greene caravan parks last October. No evaluation or feed-

of 2,500 people and represent a minimum 25 per cent increase in Byron’s population. The proposal has been clearly misrepresented and grossly understated. As they say, attempts to resolve Byron’s chronic traffic problems have been going around in circles for 20 years. Undertaking this development before the infrastructure is in place to cope with it will turn the current chronic problems into a nightmare. I am also concerned that the West Byron Landholders are downplaying the significance of what is now happening. If the minister for planning adopts their proposal in the near future, he will permanently rezone the site for their proposed uses, and entrench their minimum of 980 dwellings, a shopping centre, an industrial zone, a commercial zone, and two tourism zones that will allow for all sorts of mega tourism developments. It will all be all over bar the shouting.

Just for the record, I never claimed they were building a shopping mall, but rather a shopping centre overtopped by flats and units.

back has been provided to participants or for public viewing. Perhaps the Parks Administrator, Jim Bolger, can confirm how many submissions actually supported the closing of road reserves and an expansion of ‘new upper-end cabins and updated accommodation’. Resuming our public roads to allow commercial activity to expand onto vulnerable foreshore parklands that have until recently been used as open recreational space by the general public, with occasional primitive ‘overflow’ camping

in peak holiday periods, has never been endorsed by the community and is definitely not a responsible or welcome proposition. Over the past decade the Lands Department has sought to maximise encroachments and park profits and restrict public access without regard for park regulations or the adverse impacts on adjoining neighbours or the local community. DoL has provided no rationale for defying the many environmental reports including the Brunswick Estuarine Management Study to extend the operational area of the caravan parks onto sensitive foreshore land at Ferry Reserve and Terrace Park.

Dailan Pugh

Byron Bay Q Keith Williams may be dead,

but the White Shoe Brigade clearly lives on. Take, for example, the comments of Stuart Murray, Project Manager for the West Byron project (Echo, October 25) in his response to Dailan Pugh’s critique of the proposal the week before. Stuart manages to spend three paragraphs telling us we have a traffic problem in Byron Bay, without once mentioning the impact on that problem of a new suburb with 1,000 or more houses, let alone saying anything about what the proponents plan to do to help deal with that impact – apparently nothing. Keith would be proud of you, Stuart. In best White Shoe style, the

proposal is to develop a new suburb on low-lying coastal land that is only marginally above flood level now, and will be increasingly flood-prone in the future as sea level rises. In the long term, it will either end up under the sea or have to be protected at huge expense by ratepayers and taxpayers. The best Stuart can offer is that ‘high hazard flood areas have been avoided’. Very generous, Stuart, although I suspect the fact that government policy prohibits the rezoning of such land for development might have something to do with it. Anyone who wants to see the future for West Byron need only to turn on their TV and watch the latest news from Bangkok. Of course, the west Byron proponents include ‘longterm Byron locals’. Perhaps we should call them the White Sandal Brigade?

Mullumbimby was highly critical of caravan park POMs, stating: ‘I was closely involved in formulating the NSW Coastal Policy 20 years ago that prevented high rise and guaranteed public access to the beach and publicly owned land around our waterways. I cannot support any measure that denies public access to our public foreshores. Nor can I support the use of the state’s compulsory acquisition powers to acquire Council-owned land to facilitate inappropriate development which is opposed by the Council and the community.’ It is an insult to the local community for Mr Page to now state that ‘vandalism, theft and public safety issues’ require Terrace Park to be fenced and continued overleaf

have been working in the wastewater industry in this area as a consultant for seven years and feel that your article regarding council crackdowns requires another perspective. Council compliance officers are often caught between a rock and a hard place when it comes to dealing with ratepayers with failing on-site sewage management systems (OSMS). Their unenviable task to assure that people do not pollute their neighbours’ property with nutrients and pathogens is made inherently more difficult by our society’s reluctance to effectively deal with our own shit. I have noticed consistently that OSMS are an out-of-sight, out-of-mind aspect of rural life that is possibly the lowest ranking priority for action when it requires fixing. This is prob-

ably a function of a mass faecal phobic consciousness that has crept into our world since the advent of the flush toilet. Composting-toilet owners are to be praised for their willingness to take on the responsibility of dealing with their own shit, and in the most sustainable, carbon-sequestering way. Having said that, council staff must use more discretion, especially on properties that have a dwelling entitlement but can no longer use a simple septic system due to more recent changes in the law. I have had an increasing number of clients who are building in rural areas and don’t want to have anything to do with Council, just a system that will work and not cost the earth (literally). If this trend continues, Council is in danger of making themselves redundant as planners, which

defeats their purpose entirely. I concur with Leigh and Garry regarding the construction of DIY composting toilets, that they are very do-able, and at a fraction of the cost of a plastic unit one can have something superior. Stuart McConville

Barkers Vale Q When I moved to Byron Shire from Sydney in the early 80s with my wife and child I bought a 12 hectare rural block and set up home in a farm shed. We loved it. Tin walls, concrete floor and a roller front door. Over the next few months we added a water tank, septic tank and a solar hot water system. Prior to that we used a slit trench for the toilet and had cold showers. Then we added verandahs and some internal walls. But it was never more than a tin shed. Basic, airy and non compliant. But every visitor enjoyed the simplicity of it. Surrounded by trees it was unobtrusive and didn’t impinge on our distant neighbours. We lived there for 10 years until we saved enough to build our dream home up the hill. When the new home was finished the council person

gated ‘to prevent local residents from walking through the park’. Surely the amenity of local residents, forced to live with noisy campers partying just 5m from their front gate 24/7, is just as important as the occasional ‘paying guest’. No responsible audit of ‘public safety’ could overlook the traffic and parking issues along the narrow Terrace roadway and the opportunity to widen the road and create a safe bike track will be lost. The safety of primary school children who travel daily along this congested road is clearly not a major concern. For over ten years the Brunswick Heads community has highlighted the poor management practices in our Crown Reserve caravan parks that have resulted in boundary encroachments, loss of foreshore access, failure to implement required setbacks and buffer zones or ensure basic compliance, and the failure to protect and maintain the estuarine environment, the river foreshore and public assets. The community has lost access to an historic public walkway in the Terrace, two public boat ramps and over 2,000m2 of prime foreshore land at Ferry Reserve and many significant trees – and our public road reserves are next. DoL certainly has a different interpretation of ‘public interest’ than many of us in the general community, who’d prefer to describe their thuggish

told us we would have to make our wonderful tin home uninhabitable, take out the kitchen, fill in the septic. I couldn’t believe it and I couldn’t do it. ‘No worries,’ he said, ‘we won’t come back.’ It soon became the home for another family member and for the last 20 years it has been a cherished home to family and friends who loved the simple life. The idea that Byron Shire is so rich that we throw away houses is insane. We’ve got people living on the street and in cars and a seven-year waiting list for public housing. The most intelligent thing we can do is allow these simple dwellings and their inhabitants to live in peace until the government has built the 1,000+ homes to replace them. After all, if we lose the young, the visitors, the non-rich and the unconventional, what will we have gained? You can advertise ‘Byron Naturally’ all you like but there is nothing natural about a community that wastes resources, alienates the non-compliant and imposes rules made for another time and place.

Pro golf club I would like to respond to Chris Anderson’s letter ‘Golf club musak’ (Echo, October 25). The Byron Bay Golf Club is a huge support for the local community. If you take away the ‘music’ you destroy part of the atmosphere that attracts so many people to the golf club. No patrons, no golf club. The club is currently supporting 24 young local dancers who are fundraising to go to America. To date we have had a curry night and a trivia night raising nearly $8,000. We are also having a charity golf day next weekend. The African Leaf foundation will benefit from the Melbourne Cup function, not to mention the numerous Cancer Foundation functions held at the golf club over the years. I think instead of threatening a black ban, Mr Anderson, you should realise exactly how much this club does for our local community. Michelle Hall

This is how Council really works No-one should read The Echo’s editorial and expect to get an objective account of the goings on at their local council. They won’t get one. Cr Tabart’s quoted reasons for why Cr Cameron was voted deputy mayor are pure folly. The Greens political party put forward two candidates (Cr Staples and Cr Richardson), probably splitting their own vote, and another of their party was away. And there were two independent candidates (Cr Cameron and Cr Tucker). A total of four candidates. No newspapers covered this story when it happened? The Greens’ current circumstances are all of their own doing. Stop blaming others. As for the editor suggesting putting a Draft Markets Policy out on exhibition, at long last, so that the whole community can have their say on how markets could be run in the future on public land across the whole shire which would allow anyone to have a go at running a market, is somehow ‘privatising a community asset’ couldn’t be further from reality. It’s the opposite. Council is opening up opportunities for the first time in years for the whole community to have their say without fear or favour on how such large cash earners and an integral part of the shire economy is managed for the whole community benefit. A more important story to investigate would be looking at who has been preventing the

community from having a say and having a go at running a market for years and why. There’s many local community-oriented people running local community oriented markets across the shire and hopefully that will continue with a little competition for a change. There has been grumblings from stallholders about monopolies, intimidation, harassment and the need for public accountability. For the Editor to suggest it is a lurch to the right for the whole community to finally have their say is an interesting political position for this publication to take.

This was achieved because of the generosity of On The Level Productions, The Big Fish, The Mullumbimby Music Festival, Rebecca Ireland, The Blackbirds, Accent Colour, BayFM, the coffee shop at the Byron Bay Handimarket, the Northern Rivers Writers’ Centre, The Echo, and numerous individuals. This money will be used to purchase essential items for the island community of Takuu which is rapidly becoming uninhabitable due to climate change and sea level rise.

Goonengerry Q Before the state’s upper house elections the mayor stated that if elected as an MP she had the will and capability to do both jobs. After six months it appears that these two high-powered positions are not compatible and cannot be managed by one person. We are now told that in order to perform her duties effectively as mayor she needs the other councillors to rearrange their schedules to accommodate her heavy workload. Councillors who reacted to this suggestion have been savaged by the mayor’s supporters. Mignon Francis notes she was ‘voted in by locals’ as mayor. That is a fair comment, but that was over three years ago when she had proven she

Ocean Shores Q With

the recent passing of Michael Malloy it is perhaps instructive to revisit his main contribution to local politics in the broader sense. He was elected to Council in 1995 but quit ten months later on the grounds that he couldn’t stand the ‘poisonous atmosphere’. His resignation provoked the outrage that led eventually to the downfall of Max Eastcott. What led to the poisonous atmosphere was this: Cr Malloy would initiate resolutions

The new councillors were at a loss as to how to deal with this impasse, being mostly well-meaning ingenues unused to the ruthlessness of politics and in awe of this alpha male who confused himself with God. During that time my role was to interject and ridicule from the sidelines, cutting the prick down to size and giving the councillors heart. I doubt they ever noticed, let alone appreciated, what I was doing, but it’s my experience that whenever you debunk authority or relax the mood, the ordinary people feel freer to speak their mind. During the reign of subsequent general managers the war over who actually runs the show has changed only in its intensity, the tide going this way and that. I think democracy was most favoured during the time of Pam Westing; under Graeme Faulkner the tide has swung distinctly Maxwards. That’s why Ross Tucker these days sits there grinning like a Cheshire cat and sniggering his disdain for your current crop of councillors who, collectively, are the most hopeless ‘team’ I’ve encountered in 27 years of Council watching. On that, at least, Ross and I agree. Fast Buck$

was capable of performing the duties of the office, and long before committing to state responsibilities. It certainly does not give her any bargaining leverage now in getting her own way regarding apportioning her time and the time of the other councillors. Jenny Coman berates the councillors who were ‘extremely petty’ and she would not vote for them, especially the independents, at the next local elections. On the contrary I would vote for them, because by their actions they have brought to the attention of the residents of the shire that the mayor is struggling under the load. As this incident could be only the tip of the iceberg, maybe it is time to step aside, and allow another councillor to be measured for ceremonial robes. We deserve to have a fulltime mayor, not an occasional full-time one.

Has environmentalism failed? Mark Byrne

The global environment movement has a big problem. We are losing the fight, and have no idea what to do about it. To backtrack a bit, the movement often dates its birth to the publication of Rachael Carson’s Silent Spring in 1962. Since then, there have been two main narratives that it has invoked to convince politicians and the general public to act to protect biodiversity and natural resources. The most common narrative – let’s call it ‘Apocalypse Soon’ – has been that Problem X is urgent, and unless we react quickly, Disaster Y will surely follow. Under every headline, poster or email that begins, ‘Save the...’ lies a more or less shocking account of what will happen if we don’t rally, donate, write, pester or put our bodies on the line. Sometimes it works. The Save the Franklin campaign that swung the 1983 federal election is the best example in Australia. The problem is that after a while, people start to switch off. Otherwise we’d be in a constant state of hyperarousal, which no living being can sustain without traumatic consequences. The appeals to urgency and the implicit moral imperative (if you’re not a saver you’re a destroyer) become burdensome. Yet the websites of environmental groups, big and small, persist with this kind of language, usually accompanied by bold type, exclamation marks and hyperbolic adjectives (shocking, destructive, shameful, shortsighted...). Partly as a reaction to the Apocalypse Soon narrative, another has appeared in recent years. Let’s call it ‘Feelgood’. Based on the idea that people respond best to positive

messages, the pitch is studiously optimistic. It’s all about taking positive, empowering action, and feeling good by doing good together. Say yes to cutting carbon pollution. Let’s work together to create a cleaner future. Every time you turn off a light it makes a difference. Yes, we can. The positive messages are often pitched in economic terms: in the long run, ecotourism will create more jobs than forestry, renewables more than fossil fuels. Or they are pitched in nationalistic terms: Australia can lead the world in solar energy. Let’s protect the world’s biggest coral reef. The Feelgood narrative has also proved successful at times: some of GetUp’s campaigns, for instance. But it has three problems. Like Chicken Little, it’s mostly reactive. Some new assault on the environment appears, and a group like Greenpeace or GetUp mounts a more or less successful campaign to stop or ameliorate it. But tomorrow there’ll be a new dragon to slay. Also, the use of economic arguments makes many environmentalists deeply uncomfortable. Putting a dollar value on life forms that are irreplaceable seems to represent a sell-

to put on a brave face. Only Clive Hamilton, in Reqium for a Species (2010), faces the brutal reality head on. He writes reluctantly that ‘now it is too late... our greed, materialism and alienation from nature... have won out.’ The environment movement more broadly is struggling with the realisation that it lacks a narrative which places nature first that is strong enough to counter the ‘magic pudding’ myth of endless economic growth. Its pitch is, ‘If we keep growing, we can have it all.’ Any competing narrative must be that simple and compelling. James Lovelock’s Gaia hypothesis – the idea of the earth as a self-regulating (but not necessarily self-conscious) organism – appeals to some, but it has been around for forty years. If it were going to catch on, it would have happened by now. The best we have come up with more recently is sustainability. It’s more of an ideal than a narrative, and might make intellectual sense if it weren’t so ill-defined. But it is insipid – there is no passion or drama in it – so it has little emotional power to compete against the blandishments of consumerism. Although its main focus has not been environmental, Occupy Wall Street and its international offshoots offer new hope of ameliorating the excesses of global capitalism. Whether this movement can mature to nurture an inspiring new narrative of a more equitable and ecocentric postgrowth economy remains to be seen.

out to the dominant materialistic worldview. Finally, the Feelgood approach isn’t working either: not on the global scale. Two brief examples. The 2005 Millennium Ecosystem Assessment found that of the twenty-five ‘ecosystem services’ (including food, water and soils) surveyed, only four had improved over the past fifty years. Six are stable, but the remaining fifteen are in serious decline. Meanwhile, there is a nearconsensus among climate scientists that greenhouse emissions need to peak and start to decline before 2020 in order for us to have better than a 50:50 chance of avoiding warming of over two degrees this century, a common but largely arbitrary threshold beyond which dangerous climate change is considered likely. Yet global emissions are continuing to climb, the national commitments agreed on in the dying hours of the Copenhagen summit in 2010 have us on track for three to four degrees of warming, and current international climate negotiations are going almost Q Dr Mark Byrne is an environnowhere slowly.

Review

Leichhardt: an explorer’s dreams vanish in the desert Into The Unknown – the tormented life and expeditions of Ludwig Leichhardt by John Bailey (Pan Macmillan Australia, RRP $34.99). Reviewed by Michael McDonald

Alcoholism, loneliness, obsession – what drove Australia’s explorers on? Mullumbimby author John Bailey showed he had a handle on these characters in his widely acclaimed Mr Stuart’s Track. Not content with wandering into the desert with a dipsomaniac Scotsman, Bailey has now taken on the formidable Prussian, Ludwig Leichhardt, in his new book, Into The Unknown, about the man who mysteriously disappeared mid-expedition in the Australian bush in 1848. Bailey brings his storytelling verve to the task, making history accessible and entertaining, seemingly undaunted by the mountain of documents he must have climbed on the way. He is aided and abetted by Leichhardt himself, who wrote widely and kept a diary which is revealing and at times highly amusing. Prussia in the 1830s – what a time to be alive! Having seen off Napoleon at last, the nascent Germany is flexing its military muscle and the school system is alive with the spirit of enquiry. Young peasant boy

Friedrich Wilhelm Ludwig Leichhardt escapes the drudgery of the land and heads off to study natural philosophy at university. Before exploring Australia Leichhardt becomes a scientific explorer. Bailey notes: ‘The words “scientific” and “scientist” were just coming into vogue. Coined by English clergyman and polymath

William Whewell in 1833, “science” quickly replaced “natural philosophy” to describe the study of the physical world.’ The exemplar of scientific exploration is the great Prussian naturalist Alexander von Humboldt, the David Attenborough of his time, travelling widely and reporting back marvels in an exciting fashion.

It is he who ignites Leichhardt’s imagination to follow ‘into South American jungles buzzing with insects’, to smell ‘the scent of flowers crushed underfoot’ and to hear ‘the cry of wild animals’, relates the equally romantic Bailey. On a geology excursion in the Hartz Mountains with his friend William Nicholson, the 24-year-old Leichhardt writes to his father in the true spirit of the explorer: ‘I could wander like this for ever. This vigorous travelling on foot, the contemplative moving about among the wonders of Nature, this delightful variation of fatigue and repose, have a strong and enduring fascination. I would wander around like this all my life if I could…’ And that’s exactly what he did, as Bailey notes. Our budding scientist had the further great good fortune to escape the buttoned-up Prussian empire and, supported emotionally and financially by William, travel on to England and France. Having shown us the young man and the things which formed him, Bailey then follows Leichhardt and Nicholson to Paris, where they study across a range of interests from botany to the dissection of unclaimed corpses. There too they kindle their interest in the great unexplored island of Australia: ‘What a grand fulfilment of his and William’s dreams if they could

Land grabs leaving poor families homeless and hungry Oxfam says it has exposed the increasing scale and speed of international ‘land grabs’ – secretive land deals by foreign investors and governments – that often rob poor farmers in developing countries of their land and source of food. Its report, titled Land and Power, reveals preliminary research that 227 million hectares – the equivalent of almost half the agricultural land in Australia – has been sold or leased in the developing world over the last decade, mostly by international investors.

Land and Power attributes the recent rise in land acquisitions to the 2007–08 food prices crisis, which led many investors and governments to turn their attention towards agriculture and saw some purchase land for speculative purposes, anticipating price increases in food and agricultural land in the coming years. Oxfam Australia Director of Public Policy James Ensor said foreign land deals that do not respect poor people’s rights were an extremely serious issue in developing countries

and the Australian government and investors had a role to play in stopping the damaging practice. ‘Around the world, including in Australia, we are observing a mad scramble for land,’ says Ensor. ‘A growing global economy and population, climate change, food insecurity and changing diets are driving governments and investors to acquire land outside their own borders for future food supplies. ‘Often, this land is sold to

foreign governments or corporations as unused or underdeveloped, ignoring poor small-scale farmers who can be violently evicted from the land and left with no way of growing food and earning a living.’ Download the report at http://bit.ly/szxhyB.

be the first to expose the centre of the island to the civilised world!’ I do not have enough space to go into all the adventures that followed. To Leichhardt’s great disappointment, Nicholson fails to come with him to Australia. Leichhardt bravely sets up as a fledgling (degreeless) tutor in Sydney before embarking on the expedition which makes him famous and thence to the expedition which ends in a mystery not yet solved. On the way there he became an entertaining source for gossip, medical, horticultural and mining advice to isolated settlers, among many other things. Perhaps more tragic than his disappearance was the manner in which his reputation was injured by some prejudiced writers in the following years.

I will leave the analysis of Bailey’s treatment of the expeditions to the academics. As with Mr Stuart’s Track, the author certainly captures the intensity of entering a unfamiliar landscape though, unlike many of his contemporaries, Leichhardt did not find it hostile; rather, he communed with it. For general readers the beauty of Bailey’s latest book is that the narrative flows like water, unimpeded by the vast amount of information he imparts. Bailey also casts an amused eye over society and politics, making the times of his explorer come alive. Q Read more about John Bailey

and his books at www.jbailey. info. John will be talking about Into The Unknown at Mullumbimby Library on Tuesday November 15 at 5.30pm.

h t l a e H TAKE CAUTION WITH CODEINE

NORTH COAST RADIOLOGY North Coast Radiology continue to stride ahead as an active member of the Byron Shire community. People should be careful when taking codeine as trials have shown that it is only moderately effective as a painkiller, and it has a range of common side effects, according to Dr Joel Iedema of the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital. Writing in the October edition of Australian Prescriber (www. australianprescriber.com), Dr Iedema says that the effectiveness of codeine in trials is disappointing. Codeine is widely available as a painkiller in both prescription and over-the-counter medicines in Australia. It is often sold combined with other painkillers such as paracetamol. The use of codeine as a painkiller is complicated because its effectiveness and safety is difficult to predict. To relieve pain, codeine has to be converted to morphine once in the body. However, the rate at which this happens varies between individuals and some people will have little pain relief. Dr Iedema highlights that while the side effects of codeine are usually mild and can include nausea, vomiting, constipation, drowsiness and dizziness, there have been reports of serious, sometimes fatal, side effects. In particular, children and the elderly can be very susceptible to the side effects of codeine. Some people get addicted to medicines containing codeine, even if these medicines can be bought in a pharmacy. ‘People should take care with codeine,’ says Dr Iedema. ‘Simple painkillers such as paracetamol give more predictable pain relief.’ For information over the phone about your medicines, call Medicines Line (1300 MEDICINES or 1300 633 424).

Paramount to the business is their core ethos, whereby they seek to provide top-level and high-end care for their local patients. Having recently installed a brand new CT scanning machine in the Byron Bay branch, North Coast Radiology has already witnessed the beneďŹ ts that this new equipment can bring. The commitment to the installation of the CT scanning machine is a testament to their long standing investment in the Byron Shire region. Not only does the business care for the members of the community, but also the surrounding environment itself. Dr Lincoln Gillam has said of the machine: ‘It will assist in analysing head injuries, cancer patients, and will be an invaluable asset for those requiring full body scans. We’re also conscious of the three-phase power needed to run the machine and as a result we have reduced our overall power consumption by replacing air conditioning and lighting throughout the building; making the day-to-day practice operations far more energy efficient.’ Starting in 1974 in Lismore, North Coast Radiology has continued to provide premium care and service for the greater Northern Rivers regions. Branches now include Lismore, Ballina, Casino, Maclean, Grafton and TenterďŹ eld. To ďŹ nd out more, visit: http://ncrg.com.au/.

TESSA WATERS

When Mandy Nolan was performing in Sydney recently she was shocked by some of the responses: ‘I played to a packed house at a comedy club in Paddington. They loved the show,’ she said, ‘Afterwards I was approached by three separate groups, mainly women, who all said the same thing: when we saw you come on stage we went oh no! Not a Woman! But you were really funny!’ Nolan believes that audiences don’t see enough women on stage, and that women comics have something unique and wonderful to offer the comedy world. Following through with a commitment to chicks on the talking stick, promoter and comedian Mandy Nolan teams up with fellow Melbourne comedian Cath Styles, who for the past few years has been pioneering ‘Girls’ Nights’ at comedy festivals around the country. Styles is hitching the wagon full of hot new female talent from Melbourne, Adelaide and beyond and bringing some very wicked women for a Northern tour. Styles grabbed a chat with Seven about the forthcoming Girls’ Night Comedy Show. Cath, tell me why you started creating Girls’ Nights comedy shows? There are a few reasons. At the time I had to make a decision about doing Melbourne Fringe in 2010, I was really busy, and knew I wouldn’t have the time to write a new solo show in time for Fringe (or the energy to perform it). I wanted to create a show where I could trial some new material without carrying a whole performance myself, and I didn’t want to miss out on the festival. As I’m a bit geographically isolated from the comedy scene for much of the year, and don’t get to gig often; I didn’t have a high profile at the time. I thought there might be other women in the same position, so I wanted to give female comics (and myself) an opportunity to

perform, and promote their own shows via the show. I thought it would be great to work with a large group of female performers to raise the profile of women’s comedy in general, and raise individual profiles, by sharing each other’s audiences. I also love producing female comedy, having put together an all-female comedy showcase about five years ago. I like the challenge of creating a different show every night using different performers with different styles – straight standup, sketch comedy, musical comedy, character comedy, poetry, acrobats, burlesque. Having different acts with different styles keeps the audience’s interest high. The other, more selfish, reason I created the show was to be able to see what all the other girls are doing – it’s very difficult to see each other’s shows during festivals, for example. I think it’s essential to watch other comics, and it’s always inspiring. The icing on the cake is that it provides regular opportunities for networking and socialising for all the girls... also invaluable. Girls’ Night is as much a fun night for us as it is for the audience! I get to meet so many fantastic female comics from all over the world producing and performing in this show, and have made many friends in the business this way. What is it that you think women comics have to offer that is different? I don’t like to generalise as a rule, but I think women do comedy that’s a bit wicked exceptionally well. What are the challenges for you as a female comedian? For me personally, the challenges are geographical (I’m not close enough to Melbourne – my nearest comedy hub – to perform as regularly as I’d like), and practical, as I have four kids and work full time. Sometimes I get frustrated that I can’t perform as often as I’d like. Having said that, I put a lot of time and energy

MANDY NOLAN into my various comedy projects each festival, and I do at least three festivals a year, so that’s okay. For women in comedy in general, I’d say there’s still an imbalance of men to women in most areas – TV, radio, movies, and occasionally in comedy rooms. In regard to the rooms, it’s often just that there are fewer women, and I’m not seeing this as as big an issue as it has been.

What has the response been to the shows? Where have you performed them? The first season of Girls Night was at Melbourne Fringe in 2010. We’ve come full circle now, having just done our second Melbourne Fringe this year, as well as Adelaide Fringe and Melbourne International Comedy Festival this year, where it sold out a number of nights.Â

You can’t beat it for a promo opportunity – the the wit of these show’s audience already loves female comics to the wicked women from extent that they’ve paid to see the show, so it’s a great Adelaide, Melbourne, way to capture a potential audience and fan base.  Mullumbimby and Catch Cath Styles when she’s joined by Tessa Waters, beyond!

FEEL THE FEAR A phobia is described as an anxiety disorder usually defined as a persistent fear of an object or a situation in which the sufferer commits to great lengths in avoiding, typically disproportional to the actual danger posed, often being recognised as irrational. We all have phobias of some sort. It’s part of the human condition: anxiety and neurosis. Without it we would have never had comic geniuses like Woody Allen. Phobias are fascinating. I can understand fear of dangerous things like sharks, snakes or spiders, because while for the most part they are pretty harmless, there is at least some logic in the proposition that they may cause you serious harm. It’s the fear of things that cause no harm that I find amusing, like mottephobia: fear of moths. Apart from chewing holes in your favourite coat and humping your light bulbs, I can’t imagine why anyone in their right mind would be frightened of moths. I fear being a moth in life, but not actual moths. If I ever become so dull that people notice a brown powdery substance after shaking hands with me or kissing my cheek, then I have asked that someone bury me in napthalene. Then there’s the stereotypical lady fear: mice. Women for centuries have been characterised as nervous wrecks, standing on kitchen stools shrieking all because of one little brown mouse. Musophobia details this ridiculous paranoia. It’s been a few years since anyone last fell prey to the bubonic plague, so I don’t imagine that’s the root of the fear. Perhaps it’s more Freudian, and women in fact fear that mice seek quiet dark places, and in a

Live music Folk Uke Lishus Folkuke is Cathy Guthrie and Amy Nelson. Though they were raised on the road with two of the most revered families in music, these two held out against the idea of going into the ‘family business’ for as long as they could. Their parents were friends since the early 70s (Cathy is daughter of Arlo, granddaughter of Woody; Amy is Willie’s daughter), but Cathy and Amy didn’t meet until 1990 when they found themselves working together in a restaurant in San Diego. They quickly realised that they had both grown up the same way: sleeping in guitar cases, riding tour buses, and joining their dads on stage. A beautiful friendship emerged. As fate would have it, Amy and Cathy began playing with lyrics and various musical instruments. It wasn’t long before they stumbled into a music store and accidentally bought a ukulele. It was the year 2000 and Folk Uke was born. Amy, with her guitar, and Cathy, with her uke, entertained friends and family with their strange songs. To their utter surprise, they began receiving legitimate show offers. Back then they weren’t very good, but they were funny and quite charming. They are good as well now – see them at the Mullumbimby Civic Hall Wednesday.

panic the small rodent might shoot up a ladies leg to find refuge in her mouse hole. There is even a fear of mushrooms: mycophobia. While that seems unfounded, I suppose if you’ve ever experienced a little of what Alice did when she fell through the looking glass after an attack of the fungal munchies, you might fear mushies too. There are even more unusual phobias which you may not be aware of, like deipnophobia, which is fear of dinner parties. If you’ve ever been to a bad one you’ll know the horror. Who will be there? What will I have to talk about? What if they don’t let me leave? What if it’s not a dinner party but a ruse to engage me in group sex and then if I don’t do it they lock me in the basement? What if they eat raw food? Clearly, fear of dinner parties is quite well founded. My favourite phobia is Sesquipedalophobia – fear of long words. Then there’s arachibutyrophobia, which is fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth. If you are a friend suffering from someone with Allodaxaphobia then no doubt you have learnt to sit on the fence. These people fear opinions. If you wanted to kill someone with Allodaxaphobia all you’d have to do is lock them in a room with Alan Jones. It’s the perfect crime. Mnemophobia is a fear of memories, good, bad or indifferent, it doesn’t matter. This could be the underlying reason why so many people smoke pot. They’re not pot heads, they just fear memory. Tony Abbott has Optophobia. That’s the fear of opening one’s eyes. It’s amazing how people with this affliction will choose to keep their eyes wide shut. A more modern phobia is Nomophobia – fear of being out of range on your mobile. Some people actually won’t travel beyond their area of reception. If you have annoying parents and they suffer from this fear, then get them onto Vodaphone – if you are lucky and the carrier doesn’t improve their product, your folks may never visit again. And finally, the worst and most catatonic of all phobias: Phobophobia. That is the fear of phobias. People who become paralysed with fear about, well, being paralysed with fear. Someone give me a Valium. Pyke, Dappled Cities). With their infectious brand of indie pop already winning over a loyal fan base and catching the ears of the industry, the band is set for big things in the future. Beach Hotel Thursday.

‘Respect is the glue that holds people and society together.

Hooked on Hook There is no denying that the eyes and ears of the world’s dance music fraternity are focused firmly on Hook N Sling in 2011. In just a few short years the man has gone from aspiring disc jockey to in-demand DJ, remixer and producer property. Hook’s formative years saw him chalk up some impressive feats, in 2007 scoring an ARIA nomination, a DMC Buzz Chart #1 and several Pete Tong plays for his breakout tune The Bump, and later straddling both club and commercial radio success with The Best Thing and Gotta Make A Move. Add to that a swag of head-turning remixes for Calvin Harris, Fedde Le Grand, Miike Snow, Miami Horror and Ou Est Le Swimming Pool, the acclaim of mixing the Ministry of Sound Annual in 2010, and rocking gigs such as Pacha, Space Ibiza, Global Gathering and Future Music Festival, the early warnings of his impending ascent were clear. But it’s been in 2011 that Hook has come out swinging hardest. First with his breakout mix for Hard Rock Sofa & St Brothers’ Blow Up for Axtone (#1 Buzz Chart), and soon after with his impressive collaborative original Diamonds In The Sky with TV Rock and Rudy, released through Fedde’s own Flamingo Records (also garnering Tong support and climbing to the top 10 of the Dutch Tipparade). Edge Of The Earth (with Richard Dinsdale and Sam Obernik) on Sanchez’s iconic Stealth Records followed, with a smash remix of Wolfgang Gartner and Will.I.Am’s Forever in close step – all releases cementing his rightful ‘one to watch’ status by exhibiting his trademark production acumen and versatility. So what would one see watching the one to watch of late? A Hype Machine #1 with his latest goosebump-inducing offering, Take You Higher (with Goodwill), due for release on Ministry of Sound later this year. And probably his biggest mix to date for compatriots NERVO – elevating their hit original with Afrojack and Aoki We’re

MATCHAM CAINE RELEASES HIS DEBUT ALBUM SATURDAY AT THE MULLUMBIMBY BOWLING CLUB

the album provides worldly perspectives on romance, finding peace, and mortality. The emotional range of the album is as rich as life itself so that the journey its 14 songs offers is as compelling and rewarding as anything you’ll see, hear or read. The album’s title track I Am Here I Am Home straightaway reveals the depth of imagery and emotion Matcham Caine is able to evoke seemingly at will, while Make Me Wise Before I’m Old is an almost bluegrassy holler, albeit with wit to burn. Light and shade abound in I Am Here. There’s rollicking good humour in Baby Keep Your Nightdress On while My Black Dog will be instantly recognisable to anybody who has ever fought serious depression. The album will be released on Saturday at the Mullumbimby Bowling Club.

WITH LILITH

culture Anna does ‘Anna’ at the Met The New York Metropolitan Opera’s awardwinning series of operas returns to the Dendy this week, screening concurrently with the New York season. Launching the 2011–12 season is a spectacular production of Donizetti’s Anna Bolena, with Met star Anna Netrebko portraying the ill-fated queen driven insane by her unfaithful husband, King Henry the Eighth. Netrebko sings one of opera’s greatest mad scenes in this Met premiere by David McVicar. Ekaterina Gubanova plays her rival Jane Seymour, with Ildar Abdrazakov singing the role of the much-married king.

Sixth Annual Byron Latin Fiesta The Latin American countries are rich in song and dance. Take a blend of native Indian, African and Spanish cultures, mixed and shaken, and voila! You have a potent, intoxicating cocktail of dance and music. This recipe for fun and the coming together of people from all walks of life is spreading around the world at a feverish rate.

The Byron Latin Fiesta focus is on the essence of Latin music and dance and therefore it takes a rather grassroots approach to what it offers. Byron Bay has a long history The opera series has proven very popular with of a grassroots approach. This helps to retain Dendy audiences, who are thrilled to be able to a connection to the pulse that inspires all experience world-class opera from the comfort things new. It is one of the main reasons that of their local cinema. The Met’s renowned we feel that Byron Bay is the perfect place for production values are enhanced by the higha Latin Fiesta – that and the fact that Byron definition visuals, captured digitally with a Bay is as close to Latin America (geographically multitude of cameras, and surround sound, speaking) as you can get in Australia! making the experience one to be remembered.

Australia plays host to and Thursday 10 November at 10.30am. Tickets are $23/$27, and this year sees the introduction of a special children’s rate of $15.

This week’s outgoing energies meeting current don’t ask/don’t tell tendencies activate a tug of war between whether to keep secrets or come clean…

E ARIES: With your personal planet Mars in what’s sometimes called the asshole or darling position, the choice is yours. Mercury in the sign of motormouths could take you dangerously close to the first, but a judicious mix of strategy, compromise and balance favours the second. F TAURUS: With your planetary ruler Venus hitting the sign of wheels on fire, re-examine your tendency to co-dependency – perhaps even burst certain fantasies concerning the couple bubble. This week something you’ve hesitated to move on gets the go-ahead with an offer you’re in no mood to refuse. G G EMINI: You already know everything you need to. This week’s best exercise isn’t twittering or facebooking; it’s logging on to your own internal internet because, as you always secretly thought, some part of you really does know best. Though that’s not always the part you listen to… H CANCER: Feeling moody instead of groovy? Then do something sweet, soothing and renewing this week, because it’s important to reward yourself for facing fears and tears. The more your focus expands into your community and environment, the more you’ll find existence giving back to you. I L EO: Loyalty’s important to Leos, but try not to let your sense of entitlement (We are the chosen ones) lead to unrealistic expectations of others, or like Leo Lord Jagger you won’t get no satisfaction. Do instead what you do best: fixing and organising with passion and purpose. J VIRGO: This week supports you making hard choices and sticking to them for either small, important changes or large, radical ones. Your area of expertise is details, but it’s time to switch microscope for telescope and shift focus from up close and personal to bigger picture.

CLUB HAVANA GET DOWN AT THE SIXTH ANNUAL BYRON LATIN FIESTA, NOVEMBER 4-6

K LIBRA: Last week outlined stringencies of Saturn in Libra; this week talks rewards. First, you’re fortunate the tough planet’s backing you in times like these. Second, Saturn preps you for disaster scenarios by zeroing in on essentials, continually testing your emotional control and nurturing supportive networks. L SCORPIO: Humour’s vital right now, so laugh at yourself before anyone else gets the chance. And while you’re at it, drop that don’t-care stance so everyone can admire the true you who does. A wonderful week for renewing bonds and celebrating your shady side at Halloween. M SAGITTARIUS: With end-of-week Mercury and Venus galloping into planet Sag, this week starts fast-tracking the lives of the Centaur tribe. It throws open doors for you, though others might prefer a touch less of your 110 per cent input if it overrides their own freedom of choice. N CAPRICORN: Finally a good news bulletin for Capricorns, who’ve copped the rough end of the cosmic pineapple lately. Take a well-earned break on the sofa of life this week, lapping up accolades and love treats. When life hasn’t been kind, enjoying yourself really is the best revenge. O AQUARIUS: Midweek Aquarius moon activates scads of expansive ideas, plus undiscovered resources yet to be utilised. You’re the zodiac’s information gatherers but the answers you want are in there, not out there. This week deepens connections with a friend or partner, and/or your own spiritual source. P PISCES: Pisceans can often be dilatory, but this week activates the determination to see something through to satisfying completion. Both inner transformation, outer growth and a more promising base for future dealings are available if you can stay open to ruthless selfscrutiny.

You Can Harry Love FOR A GOOD PART OF HIS CAREER HARRY JAMES ANGUS HAS BEEN THE TRUMPET PLAYER WHO FRONTS THE CAT EMPIRE. ENIGMATIC, DYNAMIC, ELECTRIC, ANGUS KNOWS HOW TO CONNECT WITH A CROWD. IN FACT, HE’S KNOWS HOW TO WORK THEM INTO A FRENZY. ANGUS IS A SUPREMELY TALENTED MUSICIAN. THIS IS ONLY ONE FACET. HIS NEW MUSICAL ENDEAVOUR IS A SOLO CREATION CALLED ‘LITTLE STORIES’. This is Harry on his own. Quiet, thoughtful, whimsical. It’s a very different relationship that Angus commands from his audience. As a solo artist, these songs are very intimate and in a way small scale; I want them to be these little quiet subtle things. For me my musical career is not about a journey of forging ahead. It’s about bringing out the quiet things. Angus believes it’s all about confidence, the younger you are, the louder you play. It’s a confidence thing, young musicians are hungry to get out there and prove themselves with a big band, and having had successes, its led me to a position to do something

Mungo’s Crossword

that’s quiet and small... Harry James Angus’s new album is being hailed as a quiet work of genius. Unpretentious, simple and poetic, it’s his musicianship and craft as a songwriter that shines through. This time when I prepared for the album I approached it as a writer of words, rather than a writer of music. I wanted the music to be a canvas to put the words on, thinking of myself as being a writer I got more into the details of the song. It’s not about what is true to me, it’s about being true to the story that the song is telling. Angus sees himself not so much as the subject, but as the narrator. It’s just about telling a story, it’s an ancient thing and something great to re-invent. We have a pretty limited mythlogy of songwriting topics like heading out in my dusty boots, – those words don’t mean anything, they are cliches, and reinforced by being sung over and over. I was interested in writing songs in a standard format, but had to ask myself how are they going to be different? I want to find things to write about which are true to everyone – true to my audience, they should be able to find it. So how do you make the personal universal? I think if somethings really good it’s personal and at the same time it’s universal. I was just listening to the Beach Boys, with Brian Wilson singing I guess I just been born in the wrong time or living in the wrong time – it’s not the most poetic, and not very sophisticated, and as usual very self absorbed, but no-one can listen to the song and not be touched. There is a knife-edge balance between poetry and eliitism in your music. Some people use sophisticated language to say this is intelligent, but the right word in the right place is always what you are after. One thing I set myself was to use swear words appropriately in songs; I get so sick of hearing songs where a swear word has been inserted just for effect, so in these songs when I swear or the character swears, I try to make it relevant. Harry James Angus plays very few solo shows, and for good reason. Audiences and those who love the Cat Empire expect something big and bold. Harry saves his solo shows for audiences who know how to appreciate something small.

I have been really careful about when and where I do these shows; I have done only 10 ever and I always make sure it’s the right environment. I want to be careful. Mullum Music Festival is amazing, the audiences really get it. Harry James Angus performs Little Stories at the Mullum Music Festival on Saturday 26 November at 4pm. For program details about the event which runs from Thursday 24 November until Sunday 27, go to www.mullummusicfestival.com.

CHESS

by Ian Rogers Play at Byron Services Club, Mon 7pm The news that Iranian Grandmaster Eshan Ghaem Maghami had been thrown out of a tournament in Corsica this week for refusing to play an Israeli opponent has thrown a spotlight on the murky world of boycotts and backdoor deals. At every Chess Olympiad the organisers have a list of teams who are not to be paired; countries currently at war with each other, into which category Israel and most of its neighbours have been registered for decades. Thus it was with some shock that the 2010 Olympiad in Khanty Mansiysk saw Israel paired with Yemen in the first round. The Yemenis forfeited the match 0-4 and continued the Olympiad, finishing on a 50 per cent score, while Israel used the big win as a springboard to a bronze medal. Israel has been on the wrong side of a number of World Chess Federation decisions over the years. In 1986, Dubai were granted the right to host the Chess

Olympiad despite making it clear that Israel would not be invited. A number of teams and players boycotted the event in sympathy with Israel but the organisers’ donation of $1.5m to FIDE President Florencio Campomanes’s re-election campaign (used to pay many teams’ air tickets) assuaged a lot of consciences. In the Corsican case, Ghaem was following his government’s policy of not competing head-tohead with Israeli athletes. The organiser, Leo Battesti, explained the reasons for the decision by saying, ‘We develop in Corsica awareness of the positive aspects of chess sport on our youth; being complicit of any form of segregation would be unworthy, and in total contradiction with the foundations of our sport activity.’ Ghaem is desperately hoping that this situation will not happen again, saying, ‘Chess is my main job and my hobby. I’ve played for almost 22 years and I love it. So I’ll continue playing tournaments and I just want to give advice to organisers that we should try to avoid this problem in advance.’

We apologise if anyone feels inconvenienced, but the fact is we need the space to bring you more reliable entertainment news. Weekly TV guides are always inaccurate because of last-minute changes by the stations, and so the most up-to-date and detailed guides are to be found on the net.

halfway through)? Does Jennifer Ehle, the epidemiologist, die? The cute Chinese kids in the village – what is their fate? And did anybody tell Damon what exactly he was meant to be doing, other than being his earnest and honest self? The most interesting character is Jude Law’s Krumweide, a celebrity blogger, (Gould: ‘blogging is graffiti with punctuation’). Clearly based on Julian Assange, with Law doing an excellent Oz accent, he is portrayed as both a campaigner who exposes the corruption of establishment figures and a sanctimonious know-all. ~ John Campbell

In Time

There was a pivotal moment in this movie when I thought ‘what’s the point?’ It came shortly after the hero and his gal survived a car crash that would have consigned the All Black front-row to Boot Hill. The story was straightforward enough – what was elusive was a raison d’être. Is it just a splendidly mounted but glorified game of chasings, designed primarily for an audience of gamers (a whole new cinematic genre)? Yes, I concluded. Set in the near future – a grim, Orwellian future, needless to say – every one of our species is born with a ration of twenty-five years. The time they have remaining is displayed on their wrists in thirteen, rapidly reducing, green fluoro digits (I needed a pen and paper to figure out why thirteen). For some unexplained reason, this bank of time can be transferred from one person to another by the low-tech means of taking a grip of the other’s forearm, as a Saxon yeoman might. Anyway – some unscrupulous types have accumulated thousands of years at the expense of the time poor (an apparent metaphor for Wall St fat cats exploiting the underclasses). Will (Justin Timberlake) comes into a stack of the precious commodity when somebody wearied by accumulated existence gives his time away before committing suicide. Will is taken for a murderer and the hunt is on. Now, the first thing any director

needs to do in such a coldcoloured, metallic flick is find roles for Cillian Murphy and Vincent Kartheiser. Ice-eyed, bloodless vampire types, they’re the ones that a decent, framed bloke like Timberlake needs to look out for. Will’s girl, Sylvia (Amanda Seyfried), is a typically new adornment heroine, ie a perfect size eight in an arse-hugging short dress and ridiculous heels, but with a gun – you’d more easily sell a pork pie in Tel Aviv than convince today’s girls that Elizabeth Bennet is more rebellious and independently minded, but, in film and television, it’s a case of ‘plus ca change…’ ~ John Campbell

Red Dog

What with the world going to hell in a banker’s silk handkerchief, the loathsome Tony Abbott skulking around the Wide Brown making cowards of us all and the news in general being always negative (interest rates up is bad, interest rates down is bad), I knew from afar that I would love this film – and I loved it even more than that. It’s based on the novelist Louis de Bernières’s fictionalised account of a real dog and his wanderings in the Pilbarra. I’m unfamiliar with the book but suspect that the story’s emotional impact, and for me it was profound, would be terribly diluted by having prior knowledge of what happens – coming to the written word after its screen adaptation is surely preferable in this instance. We meet the rough’n’ready, thankfully not cute kelpie in the opening scene when a truckie (Luke Ford) stops at a pub just as Red Dog (Koko), poisoned by a bait, is about to be put down. Nobody can bring themselves to shoot the muchloved animal so, after a vet has administered an antidote, the locals gather in a vigil, sweating on Red’s recovery. All of them have a tale to tell about how their life has been affected by the dog and the movie proceeds as a series of flashbacks. Set in the Dampier of forty years ago, the men who work at the Hammersley Iron site are a mixed bag of rough nuts and reffos (God help them), vagabonds and the broken hearted and, though each of them feels that Red is his, the kelpie chooses John the Yank (Josh Lucas) to be his person. The balance of humour and pathos is perfect, the pace rollicking without being helter-skelter, and the blokey world of the dusty outback, so easily and frequently overdone, never intrudes on the intensely personal nature of how man and dog interact. There’s no need for me to say how much any dog owner will relate to it, but even barren misocynists might be touched. It’s an absolute joy. ~ John Campbell

HONEYCOMB AND HOCUS POCUS

The Bruns Brasserie’s newest addition is crispy crust pizzas. Daily selections include fresh grilled snapper, juicy steaks and bangers and mash. Gourmet coffees, Devonshire teas, freshly squeezed juices and delicious desserts are also available. Lunch and dinner bookings available on request.

Standing out from the edible riches of a recent Melbourne getaway (tiny lobster buns with beaujolais at Golden Fields; galangal chicken at Cookie; Quickes’s cheddar and mild gorgonzola for a picnic at home) was dessert at a heavingly popular place in Flinders Lane called Chin Chin. We shared, because of course we had over-ordered and thereby already over-eaten, the Palm Sugar Ice Cream Sundae, a glass layered with said ice cream studded with salted honeycomb and slicked through with a lime syrup quite achingly lovely. The tiny explosions caused by the shards and chunks of honeycomb were reminding my New Zealand friend of a favourite ice-cream called hokey pokey. How hokey pokey came to signify honeycomb remains a mystery. And presumably even the name honeycomb, which bears a mere breath of resemblance to the network of cells in which honey bees store their pollen, was once the invention of a marketing team. I have loved honeycomb since my adolescence when I acquired a regrettable affection for Crunchie bars and indeed blame them for a temporary teenage expansion. I preferred Crunchies with their thick milk-chocolate coating to Violet Crumble bars which always struck me as a little more austere. The latter were invented by Abel Hoadley in 1913, a sweets manufacturer with a jam factory in South Melbourne who developed his range to include a box of chocolates and sweets, one of which was chunks of honeycomb. The box in which they came, purple decorated with violets, was a tribute to his wife whose favourite colour was purple and whose favourite flower was violet. It was the honeycomb that consumers loved most so Abe decided to produce an individual bar of it. Humidity caused the initial attempts to stick together until he realised that if he dipped the honeycomb in chocolate it would remain dry and crunchy : thus was born the Violet Crumble bar.

were melted down and turned into those adorable little Bertie Beetles, another lovely chocolate story.) Back home I dug through my handbag for Sal’s New Zealand hokey pokey recipe. I decided I wanted to make a chocolate honeycomb cheesecake and that the honeycomb would be made from scratch, from not merely three ingredients but also from the exciting chemistry that was involved. (We had gone to see the movie about El Bulli at Carlton previously and I suspect I was therefore feeling uncharacteristically drawn toward making modest magic in my kitchen.) So. One hundred grams of caster sugar went into a saucepan with four tablespoons of golden syrup, which I then brought to the boil. Despite the fact that a subsequent reference had said to swirl not stir the ferociously bubbling amber liquid I chose to stir with a wooden spoon for most of the four minutes recommended, with an occasional swirl to make everyone happy. The heat turned down as the syrup darkened a little – it must not, obviously, darken so much it burns – then off the heat and straight away, this time using a large metal spoon, 1½ teaspoons of bicarbonate of soda were folded through. And here the magic! From a liquid toffee I was yielding a lush, creamy, billowy thick foam resembling meringue mixture or zabaglione once the heat has swollen the yolks and sugar and liqueur to a voluminous, voluptuous mass. Quickly quickly before it hardened I tumbled out this coffeecoloured butterscotch-scented foam on to a baking tray lined with paper. Within 20 minutes it had set: my own hokey pokey, my own honeycomb, to be shattered into shards or cracked into chunks, dipped in melted chocolate, chopped and folded through the weekend’s cheesecake. Perhaps hokey-pokey came from hocus pocus?

To get to this level, the house won the Southern QLD/Northern NSW HIA Awards for Best House, Best Eco Sustainable House, Best Renovation over $800,000 and Best Renovation.

Jose Do was such an architect, and Hammerhead Building Projects got the idea immediately.’ Owner Evan Malcom and builder Luke Fitcher at the Myocum house. Photo Jeff Dawson

In Letters this week Michele Grant makes some interesting observations on Ballina MP Don Page’s opinions on government land grabs before and after the election. It’s amazing what a difference getting into power can make to the political view. Q Q Q Q

Where do you fit into the soonto-be seven billion people on Earth? Obviously the older you are the lower number you get. For instance, Backlash weighs in at 2,578,275,301st. Overall some 75.7 billion humans have lived since history began, so you can imagine our impact on the planet. Calculate your own place at www.bbc.co.uk/news/ world-15391515. Q Q Q Q

And in articles this week Mark Byrne expresses some contentious opinions about the value of current environmentalist approaches to activism. It seems that drastic change will only come with drastic change and at least the artists and visionaries at www.dark-mountain.net, cited by Byrne, see themselves in a non-human-centric world. The even more drastic option, at least for humans, is that Earth will get along perfectly well without us. Q Q Q Q

Animated wooden figures have played a pivotal role throughout history – witness Gil Crespy of Goonengerry, Pinocchio – but none more so than Fragolo, who on Monday November 11, 1675, prophesied that Cardinal Espera would be hit by masonry the following day. It came true: the Cardinal was felled by a gargoyle toppling from the cathedral. Unfortunately this led to the shameful Burning Of The Homunculi, as if the tiny creatures were to blame for seeing the future. So simply an act of goodwill can lead on to cataclysm. On the same day as the prophecy, Gottfried Liebniz demonstrated integral calculus for the

While many tourists speculate that Byron’s version of crop circles are the work of extraterrestrials, locals reckon that when the moon is new, the north coast sea weed gets particularly strong, and millions of stoned soldier crabs carry out their own mischievous form of ‘pranking’ – this is what you get.

One of our drudges has come up with a new philosophy: Abfabulism. It consists of using two sentences from Ab Fab to answer all situations: ‘I don’t know, I’m just caught up in the drama of it all’, and ‘There you go again, mistaking me for someone who gives a damn.’ ‘I’m not dogmatic, however,’ says our drudge. ‘Abfabulists may care to add other quotes to their philosophical repertoire, such as “That’s so fucking lame� from True Blood or Withnail And I’s “They’re selling Beatles wigs in Woolworth’s, man. We have failed to paint it black.�’ Q Q Q Q

Following a protracted period of stuffing around by the state government, Byron Shire Council has finally been allowed to put on exhibition an emergency action plan for the coastline. The usual Australian emergency plan, ‘Grab beer and run like hell’, is not mentioned.
