CAB AUDIT

Council wants halt to Mellow musicfest massages Mullum West Byron rezoning Ray Moynihan

Byron Shire Council wants the state government to hold off considering the rezoning of West Byron until broad transport issues, including traffic by-passes, are resolved. The government is currently exhibiting plans for a major development of over 100 hectares adjacent to Ewingsdale Road and Belongil Creek, and submissions close this Wednesday. In a motion which passed narrowly last Thursday, Council said the rezoning should not proceed until ‘adequate arrangements and funding’ are in place so transport issues can be addressed to the ‘satisfaction of Council and the community.’ Another motion from the Greens councillors rejecting the West Byron development was narrowly defeated. The Byron Bay West Landowners Association is proposing a new suburb including light industry, tourism development and a commercial centre, with a total of almost 1,000 dwellings.

‘Death of creek’ Supported by some as a welcome addition to the local housing stock and economy, others including environmentalist Dailan Pugh have expressed grave fears about the potential

for extra pollution flowing into the neighbouring estuary and wetlands. ‘It could well be the death of Belongil Creek,’ said Mr Pugh. Documents prepared for the landowners outline that the site does include acid-sulfate soils – which can be toxic when disturbed – and vegetation of high conservation value, including koala habitat. But they also suggest that subject to further planning, development can occur ‘without adverse environmental impact’; effects on the wetlands can be ‘avoided or mitigated’ with the right design strategies; and water quality in the creek can even be improved with better management of drains and stormwater run-off.

No guarantees However an analysis of the proponents’ documents by Council staff points out that there are currently no strong guarantees that the environment will be protected, and that improved water quality in the Belongil estuary ‘cannot be assured.’ Mayor and state member Jan Barham is strongly opposed to West Byron saying it is the ‘wrong location’ and the site is ‘inherently unsuitable’ because of its proximity to wildlife corridors, dangers to plant and animal life and threats to the health of

Mullum Music Festival is a unique experience for people of all ages. Locals, visitors and musicians alike relish the vibes of this enchanting little town. As a young local, I was amazed to see the involvement of so many from continued on page 2 the community and the support they showed to the festival and visitors. Aside from the character of Mul-

lumbimby, the uniqueness of the festival is down to the fact that the whole town is utilised and people could move freely from venue to venue. One of the magical things about the festival is how easy it is to enjoy it without even going to the venues. The eccentric street performers provided constant entertainment to people and the Magic Bus was an experience in itself. Having the opportunity to go on a ride with a band

and two lovely prizewinners was one of my many great experiences. I loved how festival-goers and performers were enthusiastic, regardless of grey skies on Saturday. A fabulous parade under blue skies on Sunday went completely against weather reports, showing how Mullum refuses to be predictable. But one thing is for certain: the Mullum Music Festival will be back again next year in all its glory.

Ease off on unauthorised dwellings: Cr Tabart

Videographer Sharon Shostak filmed environmentalist Dailan Pugh at Belongil Creek for Friday’s Echonetdaily (see www.echonetdaily.net.au).

Byron Shire councillor Tom Tabart has called on compliance staff to ease off on action against unauthorised dwellings. His notice of motion is expected to be debated at Council’s meeting next Thursday at 10.30am, while activist Fast Buck$, who is being pursued by Council over his property at Coorabell, intends to support Cr Tabart’s move during public access from 9am. Cr Tabart intends to move, ‘That

Council restrict compliance action with regard to suspected unauthorised dwellings only to cases where there is a demonstrable risk to health or safety – this approach to continue until the state and/or the federal government implements measures to fully address the growing problem of the affordable housing shortage.’ Cr Tabart also intends to move that ‘action against unauthorised use of approved dwellings (eg holiday let-

Unauthorised housing in Byron Shire has become a mainstream source of low-income accommodation, according to Cr Tabart. ‘It is unrealistic to continue to hide behind the anachronistic requirements of the legislation in the face of a major social crisis. ‘In any event the compliance capacity of Council is so limited that

Unauthorised paving work encroaching on crown land foreshore at The Terrace caravan park in Brunswick Heads has been blamed for the collapse of one of the largest trees in the park. Angry residents, fighting what they say is as a foreshore takeover by the state government-run park and others in the village, say the tree could easily have killed residents in a nearby ‘flimsy’ cabin and that the pavers were laid ‘right up to the gum tree’ a few days before it collapsed into the river. But management say the tree came down in a recent storm and they had been unaware of the paving work near the base of the tree and were now acting on it. Ironically, the incident, according to lifelong local Sean O’Meara, came just two days after a public rally at the park against the degradation of riverfront land at the park and re-

striction of public access along the foreshore. Byron mayor Jan Barham, who joined the recent rally with other councillors, said she was shocked ‘to see how much further eroded the riverbank is and how much the public have been locked out since we ran the park’. Mr O’Meara emailed coun-

we are perceived to be unfairly selective in our prosecution of the Act and have no hope of a realistic resolution of the overall situation – we merely inflict additional stress on people already in reduced circumstances. ‘I realise that staff comment will advise that we have statutory requirements in this regard but I am asking for a little activism from councillors; this is the only way we ever get the attention of the legislature.

‘With regard to holiday letting, our limited compliance capacity should be directed to this abuse which severely reduces the housing stock available for residential use.’ In response to Cr Tabart’s comments a staff report notes: ‘Unauthorised housing in Byron Shire is a complex and sensitive matter with no easy resolution. If Council took formal action that required a

property owner to cease using and to demolish or remove unapproved structures, then vulnerable people could be at risk and could become homeless. ‘However, if a tenant is killed or injured whilst residing in an unapproved (and possibly unsafe) dwelling, then Council may have a degree of vicarious [sic] liability. ‘The “do nothing� option, or allowing the status quo to remain, is also not desirable as it is evident that in most cases some works need to be carried out to improve basic health, safety and hygiene standards. The carrying out of even minimal upgrading works may be too costly for the property owner and if this matter was forced, the property owner may decide to cease providing accommodation.’ In related news, Australians for Affordable Housing (AFH) released housing stress figures for across NSW, and Tweed Byron tops the list.

What else is possible?

cillors soon after seeing the fallen tree and nearby the paving works, pleading that ‘surely time has come to act’. ‘Nearly all encroaching structures along the river have large trees above them and are not built to withstand a tree landing on them. Many are rusty old caravans. Obviously all these large trees on this eroding bank

are in danger of collapse as well,’ he said. NCHP Trust’s area manager Colin Woodbury said the fallen tree was removed soon after and that the residents responsible for the unathorised paving had been ‘spoken to’ about the works, but it was ‘a matter between them and management’. Mr Woodbury claimed the paving was ‘temporary’. When pressed repeatedly on whether the paving near the foreshore would be removed, Mr Woodbury reiterated that it would be ‘rectified according to the guidelines in the park’s plan of management’. Mr O’Meara said the paving was ‘obviously the last straw for the gum and it was time to bow out. The pile of tiles and blue metal [for the paving] sat just beside the road for two weeks and I saw it immediately. NCHP’s staff walk past this spot many times each day. No attempt had been made to hide this proposed construction,’ he said.

the local waterways. ‘It would be irresponsibility for us to allow that site to be further developed,’ she said. The Echo requested an interview with the landowners, but was unable to talk to any of them. West Byron’s media relations is being managed by Ms Carolyn Swindell, from a firm called Charlie Sierra, which specialises in ‘reputation’ and ‘crisis’ management as well as communications. According to its website, ‘Charliesierra can help you understand what your reputation is and help you chart the course for protecting and improving it.’ Along with media

relations, the firm also boasts skills in ‘measuring and understanding how you’re currently viewed’ and ‘refining your company’s voice and using it to shift debate.’ Asked why the West Byron landowner’s group had hired a firm specialising in reputation and crisis management, Ms Swindell said she wore a ‘number of hats, not all at the same time’ and that she had provided ‘media relations support’ for the project since mid2010.

New film celebrates Byron culture On Wednesday November 30 at Byron Bay Community Centre the world premiere will be held of The Meeting Place, a 40-minute documentary which ‘explores the journey Byron Bay has taken, and introduces the characters that have enriched the region’s culture’, according to the filmmakers. There will be two screenings – at 7pm and 8.30pm – and the night will be hosted by Tommy Franklin. There will be live music by local Garrett Kato and Canadian Vince Vaccaro, who together created the film’s soundtrack of the film. The Meeting Place is the newest documentary from the locally based production company Rest Your Eyes Production (http://restyoureyesproduction.com), run by Jonatan and Sebastian Lundmark and Oliver Certa. ‘The film takes the viewer on a deeply personal journey into

‘Chilled’ schoolies celebrations began last week as school leavers headed to Byron for sunburn, self-discovery, and the occasional loss of dignity. Delayed exam timetables saw a slower than usual start to festivities, but numbers increased rapidly over the weekend as NSW and Victorian schoolies descended in droves. A total of 10,000 are expected over the three weeks. Schoolies chose Byron, now Australia’s second largest destination, as an alternative to the ‘hectic’ Gold Coast. They also tend to focus on daytime activity rather than nightlife. A raft of services support them, all designed, according to Red

the history and life of Byron Bay as its history gradually unfolds through inspiring stories from locals, hippies, surfers, travellers, Indigenous folk and people from all walks of life,’

say the filmmakers. After the screenings a party will be held upstairs on the Community Centre’s balcony where food and drinks will be served, accompanied by

live music. For more information about reserving and/or purchasing tickets, visit www. byroncentre.com.au, call 6685 6807 or email venue@byroncentre.com.au.

So far, a chilled time for Schoolies in the Bay Simeon Michaels

Frog Team Leader Dan Joy, to be ‘the fence at the top of the cliff rather than the ambulance at the bottom.’ A roving team of 120 ‘Red Frogs’ meet schoolies on the streets, or bribe their way into their digs with offers of free candy. ‘Our DJs run a legendary stage on the Gold coast and this year we’ve brought them down to play in the park,’ says head frog Dan, whose main aim is ‘show kids that they can have fun without drinking’. Red Frogs also walk schoolies home safely, and help them clean their hotel rooms rather than lose their bond. The Hub on Main Beach has a free chai stall, DJs and an undercover chillout space. ‘We provide a safe place for school-

ies, a focal point for them to meet, and anything they need,’ says Hub coordinator Nicqui Yazdi, whose 130-plus volunteers ply schoolies with water, suncream and bandaids. Volunteers are trained to cope with serious incidents but these are rare. ‘Mostly we do a lot of mothering, they lose their phones, their friends, their wallets, sometimes their dignity, and we can help them get some of those things back.’ The Hub also runs ‘blow zero’ – an innovative program which rewards teeenagers who abstain from alcohol, or at least delay drinking until sundown. ‘Alcohol and teenage brains do not mix.’ says Yazdi. Police presence increased significantly since last year,

with 42 officers, four horses and one sniffer dog supplementing the local force. Schoolies response to the high presence was mixed, with some reassured, others intimidated. ‘We’re focusing on the responsible service and consumption of alcohol’ says Superintendent Wilkins of the Tweed LAC, who reports 150 policing incidents in the first week of schoolies, mostly alcohol tipouts – a drastic improvement over the 450 incidents recorded in the same period last year. Byron Police Inspector Jago reported no serious incidents in the first week. As for the kids, Chilled is the word. Q Problems with police, pages

Bluesfest gets busy with the excellence

WHYNOT! LOVES

Free DINING

Mandy Nolan

If you live locally, its something you probably already knew, but in Sydney on November 17 at the NSW Tourism Awards our Blues Festival was recognised with the state Award for Business Excellence. This internationally recognised event took out the honour ahead of Sydney’s Royal Easter Show, quite an achievement for a rural event that started out in a local nightclub. ‘We may be a bunch of hippies but we can still go out there and do it with the best of them!’ laughed festival director Peter Noble. ‘Beating the Royal Easter Show was really something.’ Mr Noble believes the high quality of the submission put together by festival manager Annika Oman and the results of an economic impact study by Lawrence Consulting put Bluesfest ahead of the pack. ‘Here are some interesting facts about Bluesfest: in 2011 we had a unique personal attendance of 53,577. Of that total 29,055 travelled from interstate. That means that 52.47 per cent of total visitors had travelled here. Three hundred and seventeen point six full time jobs occur in the Byron Shire as a result of Bluesfest, 427.8 in the Northern Rivers and 562 in Australia. ‘Annually we bring in $26.2 million to the gross revenue of the Shire.

of our spend is done here. We spend nearly $4million locally; we re-invest in the local economy by using the local printer and the local people whenever possible.’

Maintaining the passion Peter believes Bluesfest has always been less about bucks and more about maintaining a passionate commitment to fulfilling a dream. It’s perhaps why the event has created a unique niche in the national cultural events calendar at a time when festivals around the country are struggling for numbers. Peter reflected on earlier

times: ‘I remember Keven Oxford [founding director] and me sitting down in 2000 debating whether we could actually increase our weekly wage from $500 to $550. We never viewed Bluesfest as anything but a crusade.’ An important factor in the success of Bluesfest, Mr Noble says, is the event’s capacity to stay connected to its roots. ‘People forget where we came from, from a little event in a nightclub. Around here we all started with something small. We are a lot like The Echo – we started around the same time, we have stuck to our guns, we have never sold out and never stopped recognising our counterculture roots.’

So 23 years on, what is Bluesfest’s secret to success? ‘We’re so uncool we’re cool,’ laughs Noble, ‘We put on artists who are in their 80s – and then again we put on artists who are 12 or 14 years old. We treat every band equally – whether you are five million bucker or winner of the busking comp – there are no levels or distinctions.’ Q Bluesfest 2012 runs from Thursday April 5 to Monday April 9. Headline acts already announced include Crosby, Stills & Nash, The Pogues, Earth, Wind & Fire, Roger Daltrey, Steve Earle and Buddy Guy. For the complete lineup go to www.bluesfest.com.au.

talent. ‘With some great prizes on offer, the art project aims to encourage young people’s artistic works and put them on display for the community and visitors to enjoy.’ Winning artworks will be transferred onto Colorbond boards and installed in public places around Byron Shire. The art competition has the additional benefits, said Ms Arnold, of brightening up community buildings and stimulating community pride

that counters potential vandalism and graffiti. The themes are Aboriginal/ Indigenous, Community, Culture (Our Local), Environment Terrestrial (land), Environment Marine (Sea), Music, Recreation, Sport, Youth Culture. For

more information or to download entry forms visit www.byron.nsw.gov.au/youth-events or contact Belle on 6626 7225. Each winning artist will receive $200 and have their artwork turned into postcards for future promotional use.

Ramos Horta recommended Laclubar to Friends of Laclubar as a suitable base for projects largely because of the presence of Padre Domingos, who is passionate about educating the next generation and economic and social sustainability. After enduring the Indonesian occupation, he played a key role in liaising with the Australian Defence Force in Dili, post 1999. Despite his experiences of violence and civil unrest, he is optimistic about East Timor’s future and keen to work with FoL on its projects. He has worked and travelled to the Philippines, Portugal and Rome and is fluent in six languages. Byron Shire councillor Richard Staples is involved in Friends of Laclubar as a committee member and adviser, and has visited Laclubar four times in the last two years. Meg Fisk, president of The Academy of Swimming Education East Timor Inc (ASEET Inc), will present footage of orphanage children participating in learning to swim programs in Dili, the capital. The charity work now extends to include over 72 children of different age groups. Meg is now starting to teach Timorese adults to swim as well as teaching CPR. The fundraiser will include tapas, drinks, audiovisual pres-

entation and music. An auc- held. Tickets are $25 for adults, tion of Timorese fabrics and children free. Contact 0408 833 hand-made dolls will also be 988 for bookings.

Soft soap and hard sell in Byron, naturally

WATER PRESSURE CLEANING SOLUTIONS ‘Maximise Your Property Value’

Chris Dobney

First the glass of wine, then the glamour wrap and finally the hard sell. That was the order of business at Byron United’s launch of its second Byron Naturally campaign on Tuesday evening last week. It was the first of two important functions for destinationbased businesses in the region. The second was an opportunity to meet members of the government’s Visitor Economy Taskforce at the Byron Bay Golf Club. Unveiling of the 2012 Byron Naturally campaign included an ambitious target to double the numbers of participants from 100 to 200. The plan, elegantly presented by Utopia Creative’s Adrian Nelson, will include a TV and radio spend, a significant online offering and a smartphone app for travellers that will allow them to earn, store and reclaim loyalty points at members’ businesses. Then came the hard sell from Byron United’s Sevegne Newton. ‘More than 40 businesses in Byron have closed this year’, she told the crowd bluntly, ‘none of which were part of Byron Naturally’. ‘Summer’s coming up, and

that’s great. But three months doesn’t make a profitable year. In 2011 we just got out of the starting blocks – now we need to stay the distance.’ Russell Mills of Northern Rivers Tourism was less effusive about the effectiveness of the campaign. ‘We invested a significant $40,000 into Byron Naturally. BU did great job of rallying people around and it needed to be supported,’ he told The Echo.

‘But I wouldn’t attribute [the turnaround we’ve seen] to one marketing campaign. I’m not saying it didn’t count. But hard leads need to be provided to businesses when people are investing. I would like to see the stats they have linking their campaign to the amount of business it generated.’ He added that Northern Rivers Tourism is still waiting for a proposal from Byron United and would be hoping to see

performance figures for last year’s campaign before it invested again. Mills described the atmosphere of the following Task Force meeting as ‘robust’, saying there was ‘criticism about local and state government’s lack of support for regional events, a general lack of planning and of getting things done. The issue of CSG and its impact on the industry was also aired.’

BARCO welcomes dog vote Last Thursday Byron Shire councillors voted unanimously in favour of repositioning the New Brighton Dog Beach from 50m north of the Brunswick Heads Nature Reserve up to the beach entrance at Ocean Street. Dog lobby group BARCO welcomed the decision, saying in a press release, ‘It has been a great achievement, and we are privileged to have this beach so we hope that you all look after it and keep it clean. Control your dog and respect others.’ The BARCO information www.echo.net.au

tent will be on New Brighton Beach on Saturday December 3 from 9am at the Strand entrance. Members of BARCO will be on hand to explain the changes and hand out information packs including educational material, dog poo bags in a easy-to-carry dispenser and dog treats. Byron Shire ranger Mal will also be on hand. ‘This is part of BARCO’s ongoing commitment to responsible dog ownership and behaviour as well as respectful relations with other beach users,’ the group says.

The inaugural Movember Sports Charity lunch at the Byron at Byron Resort last Friday was a sell-out success. The restaurant seated 103 sports fans, eager to hear of the successes and challenges faced by some of Australia’s most-loved sports icons. Trevor Hendy, Wayne Bennett, Wayne ‘Rabbit’ Bartholomew, Karla Gilbert, Peter Jacobs and Ben Ikin all told their individual stories to host Brad McEwan and the lunch guests, then relaxed with guests during the afternoon. ‘We are so grateful to these generous people for sharing their time and their stories,’ said Scott O’Neile, assistant general manager at The Byron at Byron. ‘The Byron at Byron has raised over $15,000 for Movember so far this month and we’re still going. We’re pretty happy with that because our goal was $10,000.00 and the

Local News Winter Senna: A bushland invader from South America Escaped garden plants account for over 65 per cent of Australia’s noxious and environmental weed species. Winter Senna (Easter Cassia) is an example, common on Byron Shire’s roadsides and bushland.

Scientific Name: Senna pendula var. glabrata Family: Fabaceae-Caesalpiniodeae Habit: Spreading shrub to 3m high. Leaves: 3-6 pairs of rounded leaflets. Flowers: Yellow, large and showy. Fruit: Cylindrical, straw-coloured bean pods with long-lived seeds. Impacts: Invades and competes with native species in most vegetation types. Similar natives: Brush Cassia (Senna acclinis), a threatened species, has more leaflets and a flatter seed pod. Coffee Bush (Breynia oblongifolia) has simple, alternate leaves.

What you can do to help: Remove Winter Senna from your garden and your property. How: Seedlings and small saplings can be removed by hand or spot sprayed with glyphosate (1:50) and/or metsulfuron methyl 1.5g/10l H2O). Larger saplings and shrubs can be grubbed out with a mattock or cut, scraped and painted with glyphosate (1:1.5). Roots must be fully removed and hung out to dry to prevent reshooting. The seeds have a long life so they should be collected and composted or taken to the tip. For more info see www.byron.nsw.gov.au/ weed-profiles or contact the Bush Futures Project Officer on 6626 7219. Do not dump garden waste. It is illegal and contributes to the spread of weeds.

Warm welcome for Harold at Durrumbul

Committee supports campaign against violence

On Sunday December 4, the Byron Shire Committee Against Domestic Violence (BSCADV) will be the charity of the Day at the Byron Bay markets, collecting donations during the 16 Days of Activism campaign to end violence against women. 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence is an international campaign calling for an end to violence against women. From the 25 November 25 to December 10 thousands of organisations and individuals across the globe will take a stand against gender-based violence. Funds raised by the committee will go towards the ‘Escape Fund’ which is used to assist women to escape their situation, to secure their property or to help them get back on their feet financially. Money raised will also go towards producing a booklet for the Byron Shire which can help to Durrumbul Public School students got a treat last week when Healthy Harold made a visit.

won and basked in his victory. It should by now have been obvious that his loyalty to the coalition was at best negotiable, but neither Abbott nor anyone else made any serious attempt to win him back; on the contrary, the former Howard minister Mal Brough emerged to threaten his preselection in Fisher, with the open support of Howard and, it appeared, the tacit endorsement of Abbott.

by Mungo MacCallum every vote was vital, this was political stupidity of an almost suicidal dimension. In contrast, Labor was cosseting every member, even Craig Thomson, the former union official under a police investigation. Slippery Pete was allowed to slip away. He was not the first parliamentary rat, or the most outrageous. Much has been made of Howard’s seduction of Labor’s Mal Colston, whom he bought with the deputy presidency of the Senate in 1998. But the tradition of bribing political opponents with the promise of high office is an old and dishonourable one, reaching back almost as far as federation. Alfred Deakin, now regarded by the Liberal Party not only as a founding father but almost a patron saint, was a serial offender, moving his Protectionists effortlessly between the left and right, and finally uniting with his mortal enemies, the Free Traders, to wrest the prime ministership from Labor’s Andrew Fisher. Not long afterwards Billy Hughes deserted the Labor Party to join the conservative

advice of his clerks. In the past it has almost invariably been the gift of the government of the day to one of its loyal and long serving members who has not been sufficiently talented to make the ministry; a consolation prize for has-beens and never-will-bes. Among the speakers of the last 20 years have been Leo McLeay and Steve Martin from the Labor side, and Bob Halverson, Neil Andrew and David Hawker from the Libs – not exactly names to conjure with. Back in the Whitlam era, Jim Cope – the last speaker to resign in office – gained the job largely as a result of his reputation as parliament’s snooker champion. And Harry Jenkins, for all the praise heaped upon him in the last few days, was never more than a goodhumoured and personable journeyman. This, of course, is where Slipper is vulnerable: he is neither good-humoured nor personable, and even before becoming a serial rat, he was carrying a lot of political baggage. Julia Gillard can only hope that he can survive the barrage of mud which will undoubtedly be flung at him by the parties he has spurned – and, of course, that this time he stays bought. After all, a man who can rat twice can rat three times. Towards the end of his marathon political career Billy Hughes was asked: ‘You’ve joined every other party, Billy; why not the Country Party?’ Hughes famously replied: ‘Oh, you’ve got to draw the line somewhere.’ Someone should ask Peter Slipper if he has plans to join the Greens next. After all, Hughes was 90 when he died in office. Slipper, at 61, still has plenty of time.

democracy in Australia. Nor has any convention been broken by the appointment of a speaker from outside the government ranks. In the parliament of Westminster itself it is common for speakers to preside over governments from both sides, while in Australia state parliaments have more than once resorted to the device of appointing independent speakers to prop up the government’s numbers. In any case, Abbott’s own frequently stated position is a preference for an independent in the job, and only last week he was trying to persuade the independent Rob Oakeshott to nominate. Spare us the confected outrage. Nor does the argument that Slipper is not a suitable person for the high office of speaker stand up to scrutiny. In the Australian parliament the speaker’s job is not so much a high office as a sinecure. It is very well paid and the perks are terrific, but it does not entail much oner- Q For Mungo’s video at ous work: on the rare occasions that hard decisions are needed, the speaker invariably takes the Go to echonetdaily.net.au

Letters

Holiday park kerfuffle at Bruns reply to recent letter(s) to the editor by Michele Grant noting she does not even live in Brunswick Heads let alone a holiday park. How old-fashioned of you, Michele. The words ‘caravan park’ went out with straw hats. Keep up with the times! I can see Michele is trying to get her 15 minutes of fame via rent-a-crowd supporters and The Echo. Get a job and leave the running of holiday parks to those that know what they are doing, for goodness sake. You turn up at meetings causing nothing but a shouting match where you try and hold the floor non-stop shouting your view! Without holiday parks and tourists who enjoy affordable living in our town, as well as the permanent residents, who would shop locally? BiLo Coles would run at a loss, to mention one of our local much-needed stores. These tourists bring money into the community and have done for many, many years.

You got the ten-metre boundary at Ferry Reserve. I can walk from Riverside Drive to Brunswick Heads. What residents of Brunswick Heads have been consistent in criticism over enchroachment compliance issues? The plan of management would be under way and over if you would stop hugging trees. Keep your eyes on the fries, Michele, but in your own town. In future keep in touch with Bob Brown and let us live in peace with North Coast Holiday Parks Trust improving the area. The foreshore is accessible to anyone who wishes to walk along it. We have a right to have fences and protect our visitors. Bring your mung bean sandwich and enjoy your time and let visitors enjoy spending up big and putting money into our town.

West Byron soils

Q In

Far from being excellent soils as claimed by Roy Blumson (Letters, November 22) the soils underlying the proposed West Byron development are a toxic timebomb. The site is underlain by Acid Sulfate Soils. When drained or disturbed these soils will generate sulphuric acid, which then releases toxic concentrations of aluminium, iron, and heavy metals into streams. The depth of the water table ranges from the surface down around a metre, meaning parts of the site easily becomes wa-

Re Echo 15/11 ‘The Minister and the MP’, on issues relevant to Byron Shire.

Mr Page, speaking as a person who does live next door to the Terrace Reserve Caravan Park, I assure you I quite recognise that I do not own the Crown land in the reserve, as you intimated; however, I do recognise that as a resident of the Brunswick community I have a right to some basic consideration regarding the proposals for upgrading/redevelopment of the reserve as the boundary is only nine metres from my front windows and any alterations, eg fencing or parking, will impact on many aspects of my life. And that of my elderly neighbours. The upgrade, as you stated to Mayor Barham, is to make the parks nice for the campers. This includes fencing the campers in by a high fence, from Tweed Street to Booyun East Street which as reported in a letter (Echo, November 1/11) is to keep out the locals who are seen as responsible for the increase of thefts and vandalism in the reserve. The southern end of the Ter-

race reserve is so very narrow that the effect from camping inside the enclosure would not be at all nice, rather more like being caged or confined in a concentration camp, and from the outside rather like visiting the zoo and seeing the monkeys camping in a cage along the Terrace. I would like to suggest, too, that any increase in theft is not due to us locals, rather due to organised gangs which operate up and down the NSW coastal caravan parks, or to the campers inside. Mr Page, last year you assured our residents that you would, if returned to government, not endorse the upgrade and redevelopment plans on exhibition, which included discos and swimming pools in the NCHP reserves, but this year you have reversed your policy and turned against us. How can we ever trust you again? How can we ever vote Nat/Lib again? Well, never.

terlogged and are proposed to be drained. This groundwater is contaminated with aluminium, copper, iron, lead, zinc and petroleum hydrocarbons. The Belongil Creek is already heavily polluted due to discharges from the sewerage works, drainage from acid sulphate soils, and runoff from residential and industrial areas. The estuary’s health is very poor, and it is deteriorating. To reduce flooding the proposal relies upon enlarging a 10m wide drain through the centre of the site to 30m, which will have a significant impact

on the drainage of acidic water and heavy metals into Belongil Creek. The impacts of this have not been assessed. When combined with the increased urban and industrial runoff and the increased sewerage load generated by West Byron, this could be the Belongil’s death knell. A significant part of the area proposed for development floods in a 1:20 year flood and the majority in a probable maximum flood. The proposal is to fill the whole site up to this level to make it flood free, with fill up to 2m deep.

Contrary to Roy Blumson’s claims that no fill will be required, there is intended to be massive, but unspecified, volumes of fill trucked in.

Thin blue line busy sniffing out drugs in the Bay Q Obscene,

horrendous, intimidating, overkill – all the words being used to describe the enormous police presence in Byron Bay. Last Friday night my old-fogey friends and I were having our usual quiet drinks at the Rails around 7pm, no schoolies to be seen, when at least three large riot wagons drove past full of police in overall riot gear. Horses with police on them also walked past the Rails. A little later we walked up Jonson Street to the beach front to get ice-creams. We passed other locals who were very expressive in their anger at their town being overtaken by police like a police state. We saw a huge command post caravan parked next to Apex Park, waiting for what? On Saturday night a businessman visiting his family in Byron Bay had a sniffer dog sit next to him while standing in a crowd at the Rails. He was taken out to the railway platform in the dark and stripsearched by three burly policemen. Nothing was found on him, no apology. He was still shaken and distressed when he left Byron Bay the next morning. On Sunday I spoke to Inspector Greg Jago about my concerns about all this. He said that it has been organised by Superintendent Stuart Wilkins

Drug cartels, crooked cops, privatised prison corporations, pharmaceutical companies and the politicians who support these laws. Who decides which drugs are no-no and which are okay? The same forces that the global ‘Occupy’ movement is fighting: US corporate interests who are farking the planet, who also decide Australian drug policy. In the end, it’s not the police that are the problem. It’s the politicians who make the laws, and, ultimately, it’s we, the people who elected them. It’s that simple!

we need more product, more growth, more slaves working for peanuts, more destruction! Will, I wonder, the person who busted Harsha learn anything from his beachside confrontation? Probably not, but maybe so. In time, certainly because one of his circle will read the story and it will pass slowly and surely back to him that his actions that day are a source of amusement and derision. Thanks to the media, this arm in particular, hundreds of people reading it will pass on the news to people all over the world who will pass it on, who will pass it on… and so on. So this pointless and unconscious behaviour by ‘law enforcement’ will reverberate around the globe with others who are experiencing the same thing. Thus another nail goes into into the coffin of unjustifiable behaviour by so called ‘authority’ in our free and democratic lands. The internet and mobiles have brought the walls tumbling down. Time now to sit back and enjoy watching the lumbering beast struggling to remain standing. Meanwhile we will continue to smoke what we bloody well like.

gettable Zune music player.’ Hmmm. What Jobs actually said, and in retrospect, was: ‘Bill Gates’d be a broader guy if he had dropped acid once or gone off to an ashram when he was younger.’ (NY Times 1997.) Ashram? Crikey! Spirituality! Sadly, no surprise that that had no mention in The Echo. But by all accounts, Jobs was intensely spiritual and didn’t go around suggesting that people drop acid all the time. Then in the editorial, it read ‘The Beatles explored “soul manifesting” through acid...’ Guess what – The Beatles also took to meditation. Harrison embraced that while McCart-

ney maintained – and maintains – the love vibration, having left protest and acid behind, long long ago. McCartney headlined a benefit concert in 2009 to fund the promotion of Transcendental Meditation for at-risk youth. In 2011 The Echo published a pro-drugs editorial during Schoolies. Dear Byron Shire Echo, would you kindly accept that in your locality there is a high proportion of very spiritual people. How about honouring that fact? And how about laying off of the ‘indiscriminate drug use is OK really’ stuff? There was

It was a more than a little ironic that the Tallowood developers decided to hold their ‘celebration’ on the ridge of the Tallowood site last week, as it is this very same ridge that they would have happily trashed if they had got their way by building a road along it. Our community and Byron Q

Shire Council however stood up against this bunch of wellheeled developers and sanity prevailed when a decision by the Land and Environment Court secured a 20-metre nature strip along the ridge instead of their road. It is important that our community is now made aware that the developers are already trying to water down the safeguards that were enshrined in last year’s court ruling by amending the very biodiversity plan that was set up to protect our environment, including old growth vegetation and habitat for endangered species. In your article in last week’s Echo Mr John Bennett, one of the developers, said he was looking for suggestions from the community on how ‘to better meet the needs of the community’. Here is a suggestion John: respect the needs of our community and our local environment and abide by the biodiversity plan as you have been asked.

Dark underbelly As a cab driver you get to hear all sorts of conversations between passengers. It is almost as if they think you are not there and your ears have an off switch. One conversation I listened to recently had my ears pricked and apologising to the women in the back seat. I asked them what it was like

being a female in Byron Bay. The answer was startling. According to these ladies, at schoolies time they are treated like secondrate residents in their home town. In fact this pair had had drinks poured over them by a blowin schoolie male and then they were turfed out of the club by the bouncers with no explanation given, despite the fact that they were the victims. As our conversation evolved one startling fact became apparent. Women in Byron Bay are constantly subject to sexual harassment, with many of them being raped! I had just had a similar conversation with another couple of passengers who claimed that 50 per cent of all females in Byron had been subjected to violent rape at some stage in their lives, mostly by men they were acquainted with! The truly depressing thing is that the majority do not report their experiences to police for fear of reprisals by the assailants. Needless to say I was disturbed by these two conversations, and the people relaying this infomation to me had no reason to lie. In fact one of them openly admitted she had been raped and had not told the police for fear of reprisals by the assailants! Under the glitzy, trashy razzamatzz that glosses over this town is the underbelly of sleazy, sexual criminals preying on women with apparent im-

Recently employees of the business found that the business was not fulfilling its obligations to pay employee superannuation contributions into the employees’ superannuation funds. Where the employees money went, what the money was used for, when the money will be repaid to employees are questions yet to be answered.

During this past week, the woodchoppers followed by the woodchippers got to work on a beautiful piece of land in Armstrong Street, Suffolk Park, their task being to cut down the beautiful trees that have stood on this land for many years. To witness this carnage of nature in the Byron Shire, supposedly renowned for its care of the environment and natural resources, made me feel sick to my stomach and brought tears to my eyes. Apparently the property owners have some legal permission to carry out this merciless destruction and even though they may not be breaking some now defunct legality, they are certainly breaking our precious laws against nature. That this destruction could occur today, all in the cause of progress, is totally shameful and we all share in this as we look on and feel powerless to prevent it from happening. As far as I am aware, this wanton destruction of beautiful trees in other parts of the world would warrant a jail sentence. Why are we so slack in Australia, so laidback and so careless in protecting our natural resources? The currawongs that had their nests and babies in the now-woodchipped trees are standing on the path wondering what has happened to their nests. In the years to come, our children will stand on the path and wonder what a tree looked like! Maggie Doyle Suffolk Park

I read recently that the mayor has been complaining about the state of the toilets in Byron Shire. Well, the simple truth of the matter is that the Byron Council spent approximately $800,000 on fighting Woolies (at least that’s what I can get from public information from the shire records) which was always going to be a losing battle.

A wisecrack too far? Q It is not often I feel compelled

to speak up about offensive things that I hear or read every day; however, after reading John Campbell’s latest review about the exasperating Twilight saga I am left feeling utterly mortified and cannot leave this unaddressed. Campbell’s suggestion that girls should ‘go easy on the large popcorn and Jumbo coke if they want to bare so much of their thighs’ was a throwaway line and left me fuming. He may have just been trying his hand at comedy; however, as an 18-year-old who has seen and been highly affected by more than one of my closest friends who have suffered from eating disorders, I ask that you keep it to yourself. Anorexia is the third most common chronic illness in Australia for ‘young girls’, and its mortality rate is higher than any other psychiatric illness – with a suicide rate higher than that of major depression. Jokes I also noticed that she was giving the management and staff of the Shire a hard time about the conditions of the toilets. Madam, have you not realised that if you spend lots of public money on one thing and wear blinkers while you are doing it, then everything else suffers? It’s about time you started to truly show your in-

about modern fashion may be tolerated in day-to-day conversation; however, I believe in a newspaper, especially in a movie review which is more than likely to be read by adolescents with a real likelihood of developing an eating disorder, you need to pay more attention to how and who your ‘humour’ may affect. Please, think before you print. M Bull-Watkins

Mullumbimby Q Yet again, Mr John Campbell and the employees of The Byron Shire Echo, you have taken to assuming much about your readership. Not everyone who resides in the Byron Shire and reads your publication are Twilight-hating baby boomers protesting from the balconies of their multimillion-dollar properties. Some of us are in fact under 50 years of age and like to expose a little thigh. This 27-year-old individual

in particular has grown tired of Campbell’s self-proclaimed ‘liberal, tertiary educated, green-tea drinking Howard hater from the cultural wars’ holier-than-thou attitude and would find the film reviews in your advertorial (oops, you prefer the term ‘newspaper’) far more interesting, Campbell, if you got over yourself and simply critiqued the film instead of your fellow alternatively dressed community members and movie patrons! It appears the ‘freethinkers who gave a unique community its voice’ Echo staff like Campbell aren’t afraid to use said voice to suggest that the young women in the cinema audience should avoid purchasing large popcorn if they want to wear denim cutoffs.

Man claims strip search by police Simeon Michaels

Different version Police confirm that Fraser was searched, but provided different versions of the events. In a report similar to that given to the Northern Star, Superintendent Wilkins of the Tweed LAC said that Fraser was searched at the Rails, and was patted down as ‘standard protocol.’ He denied that Fraser was taken outside the premises, or instructed to remove any clothing. ‘That claim is fabricated. There are people at the Rails who supply drugs and who don’t want the dogs in there, so they make up these stories.’ However, this does not seem to apply to Mr Fraser, who runs a building company and is from out of town. Byron Police Inspector Jago provided this conflicting report: ‘We asked him to empty his pockets, but the dog identified that the drugs were located in the man’s groin region,’ he said. ‘This provided cause for a search, and he was taken outside to preserve his dignity.’ Inspector Jago says that Fraser

was asked to open his trousers, but emphatically denies that he was required to drop his pants or underpants. Perhaps Mr Fraser isn’t the only one caught with his pants down. If police are covering up an embarrassing incident, perhaps it’s time to examine broader issues regarding random sniffer dog searches in public places Superintendent Wilkins said that sniffer dogs identify people ‘many times’ without drugs being found. Inspector Jago said that this can be because the dogs can identify someone who may have been in recent possession of drugs. ‘The dog might be picking up on remnant scent,’ he said.

A man visiting relatives in Byron claims to have been stripsearched by police conducting a drug search. Tom Fraser, 49, had arrived at the Rails when a police sniffer dog sat down next to him, thus identifying potential drug possession. Fraser says he was first asked to empty his pockets in the bar. ‘I didn’t mind that. I told them I had nothing, and then they said they were going to strip search me. I said “you’re kidding, are you allowed to do that?” They said they were, and took me around the back to the railway platform. There they told me to pull down my pants and my drawers. When I was naked they had a good look. They didn’t even apologise.’ Fraser’s relatives say he found the incident humiliating, and was shaken up.

International HIV expert presenting at local workshop People living with HIV in the Northern Rivers region have the opportunity to participate in the tenth annual ACON (formerly the AIDS Council of NSW) Northern Rivers Treatments by the Sea Workshop on Saturday December 3. There are up to 500 people with HIV living in the Northern Rivers region at any one time. Over 85 per cent of them are receiving specialised medical care and drug treatments to control their HIV infection. ACON has organised the

Treatments by the Sea annual workshop for people living with HIV for ten years. ACON Northern Rivers HIV health promotion officer Neil McKellar-Stewart says, ‘This year we are delighted to have as the keynote speaker at the workshop Dr Edwina Wright from the Alfred Hospital in Melbourne. ‘She is an infectious diseases physician with a particular interest in infectious diseases affecting the nervous system. She is a recognised interna-

tional authority on HIV and the brain, and contributes to several key international research programs in this area of medicine. ‘She will guide the participants through how HIV affects the nervous system and contributes to nerve pain, decreased energy levels and HIV-associated neurological disorders (HAND). ‘The workshop will also hear from Ruth Hennessy, senior clinical psychologist, Albion Street Centre in Sydney, on

ways to ensure the best possible mental health, and manage depression and anxiety. Zoe Sherrin, a naturopath with a practice in Lismore, will also provide help and tips on how to maintain the best possible mental health through diet and lifestyle.’ The ACON Treatments workshop provides an opportunity for people with HIV to learn about advances in treatment of HIV and how to manage health and life with HIV. ‘HIV is now very much a

manageable chronic health condition, and if people are receiving effective treatments they will continue to live well, even with HIV. However, HIV is a disease which creates chronic inflammation and people living with it have increased risks of common health issues such as cardiovascular disease, some cancers, bone and kidney diseases and neurological problems, including depression, anxiety and fatigue,’ Mr McKellar-Stewart says. ‘It’s important for people

Golliwog shock Three sightings of golliwog items in one week – can these offensive, racist stereotype toys be making a comeback? There was a large display of golliwog and ‘mammy’ style dolls at Mullumbimby market last week, golliwog key rings at a Mullum shop, and another display in a Murwillumbah shop window. Let’s hope that these items fail to sell and are consigned to the dustbin of racist toys where they belong.

Can Belongil Creek survive West Byron growth? Impacts may be much more serious than traffic congestion, writes Ray Moynihan For lots of Byron visitors and even some locals the Belongil creek is just that dirty brown expanse experienced briefly from the car window as you’re stuck in traffic, crawling across the bridge on your way into town from the north. In fact the creek is the centrepiece of a massive system of swampy tea-tree wetlands and waterways that snake through nature reserves and move in and out of the marine park, surrounding Byron with birds and fish and green space that help make this place so special to so many people across the planet. But the sparkle in the eye of this estuary may well be dimmed if there’s yet another massive development, planned for the 100 hectares running west from the creek’s banks. You don’t even need to listen to the critics. Wading through the proponent’s giant wad of documents seeking government rezoning of the site, one becomes well aware of the importance and fragility of the creek and its wetlands, already under intense pressure from development and pollution. One consultant notes the Belongil catchment supports something like 60 threatened species and not so long ago the creek waters boasted 30 fish

species. The site of the new suburb itself is home to at least 11 threatened species, including a number of frogs and bats, the masked owl, osprey and koala. ‘There are wildlife corridors in the region, and the site itself has a role in wildlife movement,’ says the plan produced for the landowners. ‘Parts of the site contain vegetation and/ or habitat of high conservation value,’ says another consultant, and the waterways, according to a letter from a fisheries official, are a ‘particularly sensitive Belongil Creek opens onto the beach at the northern edge of Byron Bay. environment.’ nents of West Byron argue the ‘because that’s how the system development-free buffer of 100 Water pollution environmental challenges can works.

the critical issue of protecting koala habitat has not been adequately addressed. ‘This is one of the most prolific nature areas on the north coast,’ says Mayor and state member Jan Barham. ‘The biodiversity is incredible, and it’s an area of scientific value with a rare ecology. We have a responsibility to maintain it.’

‘Disregard’ She’s particularly angered by the proponents acknowledging vegetation of high conservation value but then stating that some ‘vegetation/habitat may require removal as part of future development of the site’ – which can be compensated by revegetation elsewhere. ‘This shows an absolute disregard for the values of the area,’ she says. ‘You can’t compensate. You can’t replace nature.’ Flagging future battles to come should the rezoning be approved, Ms Barham added that ‘council would require the highest quality system for managing water on site. The idea of using a natural water way as a dumping ground is just not on.’ The Echo was unable to interview any members of the landowners association.

Bruns artist wins Countryscapes Brunswick Heads artist David Kas has won this year’s Countryscapes competition, Australia’s richest annual art prize for landscape painting. Celebrated Sydney painter, academic and overall judge for the 2011 prize, Ian Grant, announced David, as the winner for his work White Mountain, which he described as ‘extraordinary in its complexity’. Mr Grant said David’s work captured his attention because it had a strong presence with a hypnotic and mystic linear patterning. ‘The more I came back to the work, the more engaged I became with it. It’s quite unique.’ Mr Grant also recognised four other works with Highly Commended awards ‘reflecting the high quality and diversity of the finalists’ works’. The Highly Commended awards went to Rowen Matthews of Mudgee, Hobie Porter of Uki, Stephanie Sheppard of Cooma,

Summer Family Portraits

Haiku

Local photographer Kate Nutt launched the Harmony project back in February of this year, coinciding with the Brisbane floods and the Kids Helpline Flood Appeal. Offering fifty-dollar family photo shoots to local families, the project went on to raise over $3000 for Kids Helpline.

Haiku Framing & Design are well known for their unique selection of Japanese and Chinese antiques and an interesting selection of hand-picked, fine-quality handcrafted items.

As the year comes to a close, Kate plans to restructure in the new year and this may be the last chance that local families have access to this unique photographic experience at such a small price.

We are now closing down as our lease is ending and you have until Christmas 2011 to purchase that fine piece of furniture, decorative item, framed or unframed print, homeware, or quirky folk art collectable.

MURRAY KYLE HAS EMERGED AS A HIGHLY RESPECTED AND TALENTED MUSICIAN IN THE AUSTRALIAN ROOTS MUSIC SCENE. HE IS A PASSIONATE AND POETIC SONGWRITER WHO SINGS OF THE HOPE HE HAS FOR HUMANITY IN THESE CHANGING TIMES. HE LAUNCHES HIS NEW ALBUM KEYSTONE AT THE BYRON COMMUNITY CENTRE THIS WEEK. Murray, you have become a multi-instrumentalist but what instrument do you most identify as the one which stirs your musical voice? Well in the last few years I have returned to my first instrument, piano, and am finding the creative inspiration flowing there right now. Piano has the tones to journey into so many different moods and feelings, and it’s hard to beat pulling the front off an old upright and bathing in the strings! Tell me all the instruments that you actually play... I play piano, guitar, yidaki, bansuri, hand percussion, jaw harp, ocarinas, a little violin, and more recently kamalan ngoni, alongside strumming the old vocal chords! How do you approach songwriting – does the instrument you start on affect the outcome of the song? I find as a writer that each song has its own journey. Sometimes I begin with a melody in my head and grab whichever instrument feels right. Others come through as rhyming lyrics, and the melody gets created later to carry it along. Most of my songs are inspired by an environmental or social issue or simply exploring a deeper awareness of this wonderful life path we are all walking upon. What do you look for in a story? I like to be inspired or moved by a story, and to feel the depth of the person who created it. I look for visual imagery in the words, and some well-crafted humour always lights me up too. What are the stories that move you most? Stories that help me to see my view of the world through a new lens, or a new awareness, are particularly magnetic for me. The ones that really touch me contain a reflection of deep respect for the earth and the indigenous spirit that maintains through this time on the planet right now. What song or movie most recently reduced you to tears... I just saw an amazing documentary called Home that was deeply touching, and thankfully ended with some positive solutions. I have also been revisiting a good friend’s music recently; her name is Carrie Tree and her album Suddenly Raining travels deep into the waters... How would you describe your own music? My music paints pictures of a potential harmonious world, and births awareness into the heart of our interconnectedness. While mixing my new album we decided my genre right now is Shamanic Soul! My music is a story of a journey and a destination, with a little

groove along the way. Have you always felt confident about what you do... do you ever feel the pressure to be more commercial, or more like another artist? My confidence has grown hand in hand with experience through years of performing, but it hasn’t always been there. Like many singers I can remember anxious moments and stumbles at the microphone, but each one of those is a learning curve that you pick up and carry upon your way. I try not to pressure myself to be anything that I am not, and I believe that the conscious heart music coming into the world right now will be progressively embraced and appreciated. As for other artists, I do find that I naturally gravitate into different styles by being influenced by people and sounds that I love and admire. What piece of advice from a musician or mentor has stayed with you? This also will change – Goenkaji. What advice would you give an up-and-coming musician? Go into the stream of what makes you come alive, then get out of the way and be played and sung by the world. Do it for the love of life! What are your aspirations as a singer songwriter? I love it when my music reaches people who are lacking a sense of connection in life. Bringing solace and healing into the storms of the human dance, and touching and

inspiring people with positivity. Tell me about this album, did you achieve what you set out to? Yes! It had been over three years since my last album release, and this one is much more produced and rich with textures and layers of sound. An amazing learning curve for me too, in recording and producing it all myself. Mixed by Benjamin Last at Reel Spirit and mastered by Micheal Worthington, it is a very local production, and features some of Byron’s most talented musicians, bringing through the feeling of joy and connection that I receive when I am deep inside the music in a live setting. What should we expect for your Byron show? A lush evening of sonic harmony to marinate in! I will be joined by Rebekah Ray (vocals), Laura Targett (violin), Walter Piccolruaz (percussion), Shai Shriki (oud), Robbie McIntosh (double bass), and Avishai Barnatan (ney) sculpting the evening into a journey of sound. I will be making use of the beautiful grand piano at the Community Centre, and sharing a few new songs as well. Prepare to be touched and inspired !

David Helfgott plays Lismore

Snowdroppers Drop In

David Helfgott was born in Melbourne and grew up in Perth. He was spotted as a young prodigy in his early teens by Ukraine-born violinist Isaac Stern who urged him to go overseas to pursue his career. In his 20s he studied at the renowned Royal College of Music in the UK. It was there he met English pianist and teacher Cyril Smith, who likened him both technically and temperamentally to famous Russian pianist Horowitz. In 1996, the movie Shine starring Geoffrey Rush propelled Helfgott’s story to worldwide fame, and from that have followed concerts around the globe. NORPA’s Artistic Director, Julian Louis, said Helfgott is a true genius who has captured the world’s imagination with his extraordinary gift. ‘This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the people in the Northern Rivers to get up close to the music and the man,’ Julian said. ‘We at NORPA are thrilled to bring this world-renowned pianist to Lismore.’ Helfgott is a brilliant musician. His remarkable technical talent and interpretative genius will blow away anyone who attends. This is a one-night-only event in Lismore not to be missed. NORPA invites you to come along and enjoy an intimate concert with David Helfgott, which includes the romantic works he is renowned for such as his dazzling interpretation of Rimsky-Korsakov’s Flight of the Bumblebee. Saturday at Lismore City Hall at 7.30pm Tickets A$67 C$54 U/18$30 Bookings www.norpa.org.au or call box office Mon–Fri 1300 066 772.

WHEN THE THOUGHT NO LONGER COUNTS Next week I will be attending my brother’s wedding. When I first received the invitation I was excited. I started brainstorming what I’d wear, how much weight I’d lose before the big reveal at the family occasion (I put on 5 kilos!) and what gift I might buy him and his new wife. It was important to get something that not only commemorated their special day but also was useful, beautiful and amazing. I had just finished ordering a his-and-hers snuggie set complete with built-in reading light when I read the small print on the invitation. My snuggie surprise was cut short by an account with the Flight Centre requesting monies be deposited for a holiday. Geez, that’s bloody specific. It’s less of a gift and more of a direct order. How do you open up a gift that you have demanded from someone and managed to look surprised? ‘Oh thank you!’ Money. Hmm, $50. It’s embarrassing. A good gift is mysterious, you can’t really work out how much money was dropped in its purchase. A cash deposit, however, with your name against it makes it pretty clear. Anything under $100 and you are a tightarse. Pardon me for being rude but I always thought that people gave you money when they couldn’t be fucked making an effort to go shopping and actually think about what you might like. Whatever happened to going to a wedding and buying a gift inspired by the couple? I don’t think I’ve been to one like that, including my own, in the last 10 years. Used to be you wouldn’t know what you were getting: a painting, a pottery urn, a black leather jacuzzi. Present time was the guest’s time to shine. It was your chance to give your friends or family a little piece of you. Something they were expected to keep no matter how ugly it is and how much they hate it. You see, sometimes things aren’t necessarily attractive, or even useful. Their value is purely

sentimental. The personality of the gift giver lives on long after the friendship is diminished. My partner still has six ugly cocktail glasses from his 21st. He refuses to let me garage sale them. So every now and then I must accidentally drop them when I’m washing up. Now people just want cash or white towels. Egyptian cotton sheets. A new flat-screen TV. I don’t know about you but fronting up to David Jones to see what’s left on the gift register is about as spontaneous as planning to have sex on the third Sunday of every month. It’s so calculated it’s no longer interesting. Or meaningful. The definition of a gift is something that is bestowed voluntarily and without compensation. Being told what to buy and where to get it is insulting. It’s like your nearest and dearest are telling you that your taste is in your arse and there is no way they would want to accept any unsolicited item from a cheap arse like you. I mean so what if your wedding booty delivers three toasters, a lime green Italian kettle and Robert Welsh Bakeware and none of it matches! Oh my god, what if the contents of your home are new but mismatched and not exactly what you would have chosen yourself! We’re not living in catalogues. You can’t just tell people what you want from them. This whole gift register is a metaphor for what selfcentred spoilt little pricks we are all becoming. Giving like receiving should be unconditional. Isn’t that the purpose of a gift? Isn’t it supposed to be something that you wouldn’t have bought yourself because surely if you would have bought it yourself you would have already had it. And as for three toasters, the more the merrier. I reckon the average home burns through one toaster every two to three years, so if you want to still be browning your crusts a decade from now you better hope for five.

SPECIAL GUESTS: CAPCHA & DALI AND THE PAPER BAND

There’s something immensely creative about buying a gift. You have to spend time thinking about it. You have to drive to the shops. You have to find a parking space. You have to get out the car and walk around and around looking at objects for a few hours until a certain object speaks to you. And I guess that’s why I ended up buying the 1950s concrete kangaroo lawn ornament. Life should be a surprise. Otherwise there’s just no point. Subvert the dominant gift registries.

M Jack Mee To celebrate the release of his latest single Sound of Love, M Jack Bee heads out on a run of east coast shows with his first band in tow. Sound of Love follows his 2010 release In Loops which received praise from Rhythm magazine as ‘world class’ and Time Off proclaimed the live show a ‘revelation’. Recorded in a single day in Sydney, this release was influenced by the expertise of producer Dave Symes. M Jack Bee’s live performance has received widespread adoration throughout the country, as this humble but captivating performer somehow manages to use his lyrics and his presence to capture a little bit of our souls.

Celebrate with Harmonies What could be more glorious than the Vivaldi Gloria RV589, originally composed for the girls’ choir in an orphanage in Venice where Vivaldi was priest.

with choirs and audiences. Also on the program will be a selection of settings of Ave Maria. And the celebration?

s r a t S WITH LILITH

With the planets of communication, travel and ďŹ nancial expansion all retrograde and only a month of sleeps to the Big Event, counter seasonal frenzy with calming c-words: conďŹ dence, composure, cooperation and creativity‌

E A RIES: Think your passionate nature can’t operate under restraints? Surprise yourself and everyone else by surfing this week’s unsettling changes with spontaneity and grace, tailoring expectations to suit whatever opportunities present. Just don’t fall for inflated promises, exaggerated representations or the general skewed world view.

This week suits your mindset better than most, so notch up some karmic credits by applying calming vibes to those around you in a state of agitation G G EMINI: You cosmic chameleons adapt quickly to changing circumstances, but look before you leap, think before you speak and edit before you tweet during the next three weeks, when online communiques could provoke unpleasant surprises. Easy answers and quick fixes aren’t instantly available this week, so cultivate patience. H C ANCER: Yes, merde is going down. But mucho magic’s happening right alongside it, so watch for the influential support and spontaneous generosity coming your way. Why let doubt, mistrust, information overload, gloomy doomsters or your own see-sawing

From Unemployed to Undressed!

The ultimate night out and not only for the girls! Coming to Ballina RSL on Saturday 3 December at 8.15 pm‌ one show only. The Ballina RSL is hosting Ladies Night – four blokes who left unemployment behind when they cracked the full Monty. The blokes were motivated by The Chippendales to form a male stripping act, in order to make some fast cash. They pitch the notion to a local club owner and take lessons from a slightly shop-worn dance instructor with a heart of gold in all manner of things, including what women really want from a male stripper (and how to deliver it). Written in 1987 by Anthony McCarten and Stephen Sinclair, Ladies Night has been translated into twelve languages and remains New Zealand’s most commercially successful play of all time. With eight sell-out tours of Britain and the UK, it won France’s premier theatre award for comedy, the Molière Prize, in 2001. Great music: You Can Leave Your Hat On, Bad To the Bone, Smooth Operator and Wild Thing to name just a few. At Ballina RSL on Saturday at 8.15pm. One night only.

moods diminish your delight in end of year festivities? I L EO: Impatient, snappish people could be tres tiresome. Obviously not you, who’s way too busy managing the mad meanderings of money through your grasp. This week requires you to think quickly, follow your instincts, keep up with current affairs, ignore gossip, support humanitarian activities and still have fun. J V IRGO: Don’t take this week’s mind changes, delays or cancellations personally. Be open instead to Venus in a no-nonsense placement helping you finesse your problem-solving repertoire by fostering a calmer mind space to formulate creative responses and make necessary adjustments with minimum friction K L IBRA: Other peoples’ unsolvable problems are this week’s nightmare if you’re time poor, and who isn’t? But Saturn, planet of boundaries, in Libra will help with a killer exit line, eg: Sorry, must dash, the end of the world’s predicted for tomorrow and I’ve got a hair appointment‌ L S CORPIO: This week’s people have ants in their pants, but not the fun kind. It could happen to you too by biting off more than you can chew when there’s already enough happening without taking on stressful extras. It’s important to factor in regular time out.

Twilight at the Dendy

Dendy Cinemas will be hosting a special Reel Mums screening of one of the most hotly anticipated films of the year, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, on Thursday. The Reel Mums screenings are for mums, dads, grandparents and carers with small babies, who can come and enjoy a film without worrying that their infants might be disturbing other patrons. The Breaking Dawn storyline should be fascinating for Reel Mums as Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Edward (Robert Pattinson) finally married and on their honeymoon in South America, soon discover Bella is pregnant. Tickets are $10 or $9 for Club Dendy members.

M S AGITTARIUS: No question you’ll be coming up with wild and wonderful solutions to the current crop of crunches via many an olympic talkathon. But when your generous self encounters this week’s conservative caution, adopt a less is more, small is beautiful, simple works best approach. N C APRICORN: This week enhances your rep and pumps up your popularity, but extra attention brings escalating requests, so keep it simple and don’t overcommit. Because a Capricorn who says yes to everything can wind up a Capricorn too buggered to have fun, and how sad is that? O A QUARIUS: Communication exchanges could get itchy and scratchy this week, and projected plans take an unexpected detour. But on the upside this gives you extra time come up with new solutions which might actually surpass the originals. Plus there’s a heart-warming camaraderie operating despite contrary conditions‌ P PISCES: If mixed or missed messages precipitate what would be comic misunderstandings in an episode of Monty Python but not in your life, this week’s best mantra is probably the Mayan version of hullo, In Lak’ech, which means: You are another me, and I am another you.

CHESS

by Ian Rogers Play at Byron Services Club, Mon 7pm Australia’s best young players are currently competing in the World Youth Championships, which cover age groups from U/8 to U/18. The difficulty and expense of reaching Caldas Novas in central Brazil, as well as some late withdrawals, have kept the Australian representation down to seven out of more than 1,000 players from almost 100 countries. Perhaps uniquely, Australia’s two youngest representatives risked expulsion from their primary school for representing Australia in term time! Medals are probably out of reach; our biggest medal chances, Bobby Cheng (U/14) and Anton Smirnov (U/10) stayed at home this time. This week’s game comes from Brazil, with Melbourne’s top girl player Sally Yu in top form defeating a higher ranked Colombian opponent. Caldas Novas World Girls U/18 White: N Castro Black: S Yu Opening: Max Lange Attack 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.d4 exd4

Arthur Christmas

still on the scene and of his two sons, Steve, the eldest, is the The title is a rather strained brains of the organisation and play on words, don’t you think? the eager heir to his doddery To keep up with the demands father’s revered gig. Arthur is the of the Earth’s ever-multiplying dreamy, soft-hearted one. After population, Father Christmas has Santa returns from his latest had to adopt the technology of yuletide mission, it is discovered the twenty-first century. From that there is a pink bicycle that his compound at the North Pole, has been overlooked – it should with its massive, computerised have been placed at the foot control centre, he manages of a little girl in Cornwall’s bed. to distribute presents to kids One kid in millions missing the world over by zapping out is not a bad average, Santa around the globe in a giant reckons, but – you guessed red spaceship – the old sleigh it – Arthur sees it as a betrayal is last year’s model, consigned of the Christmas spirit and, with to history. His predecessor, the help of Grandpa Santa, sets Grandpa Santa, is retired but out to deliver the bike. The story

is straightforward, the goal clear enough for any child to understand, and the animation is quite beautiful without being breathtaking (I did not see it in 3D). But it lacks gusto and is in desperate need of something else to be at stake. Voiced by a cast of huge names, it is only Bill Broadbent’s Santa who emerges as a strongly identifiable character. James McAvoy, Hugh Laurie and Bill Nighy might as well have sent their speaking parts in as apps to be downloaded, and as for having the likes of Michael Palin, Robbie Coltraine and Joan Cusack speaking the parts of elves – well, some producers are obviously presented with more money than they know what to do with. As Christmas fare goes, it is harmless and wholesome – good family entertainment – but it tends to drag. John Campbell

Inbetweeners You can analyse it all you like, dissect it to within an inch of its life while determining whether it is offensive or acceptable, but when it comes down to it, our response to humour is entirely involuntary. So it is with some embarrassment that I make my confession – I laughed like a drain throughout this rude, crude but deliriously truthful comedy. Based on the TV show of the same name, it’s about four boys and what they get up to in their English ‘schoolies’ week. Jay the spiv (James Buckley), Will the nerd (Simon Bird), randy Neil (Blake Harrison) and lovelorn Simon (Joe Thomas) head off to Malia, a ghastly resort in Crete, decked out in their Pussay Patrol T-shirts, with the aim of getting plastered and laid. From the minute that the bus drops them at their run-down hotel, the excursion turns pear shaped. Why this movie is immeasurably superior to the loathsome Hangover 2 and the despicably dumb ‘Bridesmaids’ is difficult FULLY AIR-CONDITIONED EVERY WED ALL SEATS ALL SESSIONS $8 ONLY

to ascertain – the language is unrelentingly coarse and some of the sight gags really do go beyond the pale (the poo in the bidet is as disturbing as it is hilarious) – but I think it might have something to do with the boys themselves. With not a hint of the contrived crassness or ill-concealed vanity of the Americans, they come across as entirely natural, not made up. Their foolishness is instantly recognisable. Gravitating to the most uncool bar in town, they see four ladettes on a similar jaunt and decide to crack on to them on the dance floor – I laughed so much at their routine that I had tears running down my face (jeez it felt good) – and the story evolves from that encounter. But for all its riotous vulgarity, there are moments of quiet authenticity when Jay cries after being bullied and Simon finally frees himself from the spell of his ex-girlfriend. Sustained by genuine heart and, ultimately, the need to love and be loved, for mine, this is the funniest comedy of the year. John Campbell

THURSDAY 1 ABC 1

1. Robert De Niro stars in Elia Kazan’s 1976 film The Last Tycoon (ABC2, Saturday, 8.40pm) with an all-star cast list that never seems to end. Playwright Harold Pinter adapted the text from F Scott Fitzgerald’s unfinished novel. Keep your eyes open at the end of 2012 for a version of Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, a cracker of a novel which fits in well with modern times post-GFC. Baz Luhrmann directs and Leonardo DiCaprio plays Jay Gatsby. To quote the book: ‘There are only the pursued, the pursuing, the busy and the tired.’ 2. Three brothers get themselves stuck in the middle of India after being thrown off a train in The Darjeeling Limited (Eleven, Sunday, 8.30pm). It’s the usual story: mad escapades lead on to soul-searching and self-realisation. Anjelic Huston is their mother, running a convent in the Himalayan foothills (!) and Natalie Portman puts in an appreance as an exgirlfriend.

Channel 9 (NBN, Gem and Go!) and Channel 7 (Prime7, 7two and 7mate) are the worst offenders. They frequently change their prime-time movies and other shows just before screening.

Michael Wright dominated last Sunday in Coffs Harbour, day one of the Action Sports Ready Australian Junior Surfing Titles. The young Byron/Lennox surfer (pictured) was easily the day’s standout performer posting two excellent wave scores in his opening round heat win in the under 16 Boys. The 14-year-old sibling to elite ASP world tour surfers Owen Wright and Tyler Wright is the number one rated 14-year-old in Australia and is keen to emulate the early feats of his famous brother and sister who both won under 16 Australian Titles.

surfed in the 14s division with the likes of Kai Hing and Chris Zaffis making that division an exciting one to watch. Kyuss surfed way above his years and performed critical manuvores to see him in first place

through round one, quarters and semi finals to see him into the finals, Kyuss went on to finish second place in a close final and earn himself a spot at the national VQS held at Manly Beach Sydney.

Swim safer: watch out for rips

Also a standout on the day was Kyuss’ younger brother six-year-old micro grom Rasmus King who surfed in the 10s division. Rasmus was ripping the inside bowl and surfed his way into the semi finals.

With rip currents contributing to the majority of all swimming and wading deaths, Surf Life Saving NSW is urging swimmers to be aware of rip currents and know how to avoid them. Rip currents have long been a hazard on Australian beaches. Surf Life Saving estimates that several thousand beach rescues each summer are due to rip currents. Educating the public about rip currents is a top priority for the organisation. ‘Every summer we see thousands of beachgoers get into trouble because they did not identify a rip current’, says Surf Life Saving NSW Lifesaving manager Dean Storey. ‘We want

to make sure everyone knows how to spot one so they can avoid them in the first place. Of course the best way to avoid a rip is to only swim at patrolled beaches, between the red and yellow flags.’ As part of rip awareness, Surf Life Saving and the University of New South Wales are conducting a survey of people who have been caught in a rip current. How did you get in the rip, how did you react, and how did you get out? This information is invaluable for improving rip current education and the survey is online at: www.sls.com.au. To find a patrolled beach and more information about rip currents go to www.beachsafe.org.au.

News Extra Signs celebrate shorebirds Toad time in Bangalow

Bangalow Land and Rivercare is doing another community cane toad muster. ‘Everyone is welcome to come along this Wednesday November 30 from 7pm till 9.30pm. We’ll start by meeting at the old Bangalow Pool in the park,’ said group president David Pont. Volunteers are requested to bring along a torch and to wear long sleeves, long pants and covered shoes. Also you may like to wear gloves and bring your own net and bucket; however, there will be plenty of these to borrow. Children must be accompanied by an adult. The group hosted several successful toad musters last year. The toad musters are also a chance for local residents to learn about the impacts of cane toads and about native frogs. On the last muster volunteers found quite a few noisy Green

If you have been walking along the foreshore of the Brunswick River or going to the beach at Belongil recently, you may have noticed a number of new bird signs. The signs have been developed in collaboration with Byron Bird Buddies, Byron Shire Council and Birds Australia. They highlight the diversity of migratory and resident shorebirds that maybe seen in and round our three main estuaries of the Brunswick River and the Belongil and Tallow Creek. Says BBB: ‘The focus on shorebirds under the Birds Australia Shorebird 2020 program, for which BBB contribute through the monitoring of these three areas, is revealing a very alarming trend in declining numbers in Australia. ‘The impacts, especially through human activities affecting their breeding, feeding and resting grounds, will con-

tinue as our coastal populations swell. ‘We often think that this is not happening on our patch but if the trend continues the seven years of monitoring by our group at Belongil reveal that the Red-capped Plover will become extinct at this site in the very near future. ‘The signs go a small way to reveal the needs of birds and how we as humans can help by behaving appropriately and respecting their needs. The sign also tells the story of the amazing return flight of a Ruddy Turnstone to the breeding grounds in the Arctic Circle along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway. ‘In a joint partnership with councils, National Parks and other community groups these signs will be erected at relevant shorebird areas along the coast between the Clarence and Tweed Rivers.’

Tree Frogs around the parks. All volunteers will receive a Frogs of Byron Shire poster. Cane toads have been in Bangalow since the mid 1970s. Toads badly affect our native wildlife because they are poisonous to animals such as snakes, quolls and goannas, they compete for habitat and food, and they prey on native species. Toads mostly eat insects such as ants and beetles but they sometimes prey on ground-nesting birds’ eggs and small birds, mammals and occasionally native frogs. Bush Futures invasive species officer Wendy Gibney will be helping out at the muster and giving a short talk about toads and frogs. This project has been funded by the New South Wales Government Environmental Trust.

Sabrina describes the leadup period to 2012 Arts Classic as an exciting time for local artists because of the event’s capacity to nurture emerging talent and give the community’s visual artists seven days’ exposure to hundreds of people as well as local, interstate and international collectors. ‘It also showcases the depth and richness of our region’s cultural community – which goes well beyond back-packing, beaches and bars,’ she added. Sabrina Simoni recently graduated with an Advanced Diploma in Painting from the Lismore TAFE, and three of her fellow graduates also sold works at the Arts Classic. ‘One of the most valuable aspects is the boost in confidence you get from exhibiting your work,’ Sabrina said.

Bi-Lo converts to Coles Store Manager Warren Wiggins said he was looking forward to the official conversion. ‘The store makeover will create more than ten jobs for Ocean Shores locals, adding to our existing strong team,’ he said. Coles Ocean Shores is located on Rajah Road.

The work of local portrait painter Sabrina Simoni has caught the eye of private art collectors from as far away as Balmain, Darlinghurst and Double Bay in Sydney. Sabrina, from Wilsons Creek, puts her success down to the Byron Arts Classic. ‘I was an emerging artist when the Arts Classic started up again in January 2010, when one of my portraits was bought by a private collected from Balmain, and this year another portrait was sold to a collector from Darlinghurst. ‘Then a few weeks ago another collector, this time from Double Bay, bought another of my works.’ Entries are now open for the community-driven event, which is accessible to all visual artists, costing only $25 per entry.

Bi-Lo at Ocean Shores will reopen as a Coles supermarket this Wednesday. The store will include a new delicatessen offering a specialty cheese and seafood range as well as an extended fresh produce section displaying fruit and vegetables on ice.

First home buyers missing key step to finance approval First home buyers are dipping their feet into the market again – a drop in interest rates and reduced property prices renewing buyer confidence for the first time in two years, but many will neglect one vital check which may mean their finance application is rejected. The Real Estate Institute of Australia (REIA) announced recently that housing figures for September show the number of first home buyers, as a percentage of total owner occupied housing commitments, increased to 16.4 per cent compared to 15.4 per cent in August. The REIA says although this proportion is well below the long-run average of 20.1 per cent, it indicates a modest return of first home buyers to the market. ‘The latest figures show that

buyers are gradually returning to the market and we should expect modest increases to continue after the decision on interest rates in November which has made housing more affordable for first home buyers,’ said REIA Acting President Pamela Bennett. First home buyers wishing to take advantage of more affordable conditions need to know there is more to applying for finance than wages and savings records. Director of MyCRA Credit Repairs Graham Doessel says a borrower’s credit file is one of the key factors to home loan approval, and anyone applying for a home loan should obtain a credit report prior to making a finance application, regardless of whether they think they have

a good credit rating or not. ‘There are a great number of credit files which contain errors or which shouldn’t be there, and first home buyers need to know any negative listing will stop them from getting a home loan in this market, or force them into a high-interest loan, potentially costing them a staggering $22,000 more in interest over the first three years,’ he says. The term of a negative listing is between five and seven years, depending on the type. and can include black marks from telecommunications and electricity providers as well as banks and finance companies. The most common type of listing is a default, which is recorded if an account is in arrears past 60 days. According to Mr Doessel, defaults from telecommunications providers which are listed in error make up a big part of his clientele. ‘As many as 50 per cent of our clients seek credit repair due to bill disputes and internal errors from telcos that have seen them black listed from credit and un-

able to get a home loan,’ he says. He says it doesn’t need to be a big default to be a big detriment to a person’s loan application. ‘Some defaults for unpaid accounts of $300 can stop borrowers from getting a home loan. Lenders are even rejecting loans for too many credit enquiries, such as two enquiries within thirty days or six within the year,’ he says. House hunters can obtain a copy of their credit file for free every year from one or more of the credit reporting agencies in Australia, and this file will provide details on any negative listings such as defaults, writs and judgments which may have been placed against their name by creditors. When disputing a negative listing, it is up to the credit file holder to provide reason as to why the creditor has not complied with legislation.

... just 10 minutes walk from town and beach

AUCTION

The ďŹ rst thing you notice with this charming property is the tranquillity. Mature trees and shrubs line the boundaries of this large 1,201m² allotment affording shade in the summer but set well away from the house to allow the winter sun to ood into the living areas, kitchen and master bedroom all of which open on to an expansive north facing covered deck. The delightful view from the deck is across manicured lawn to a rainforest canopy, home to countless numbers of colorful song birds. A genuine oasis of calm in an increasingly frantic society. Three bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, rumpus or 4th bedroom plus a study, wrap-around decks, cathedral ceilings, polished timber oors, and a well appointed kitchen makes this home stand out from the rest. Take advantage of council’s new initiative to encourage second dwellings; apply to build a cabin/granny at in the back yard and still have ample space to grow your own veges. Set high at the end of a family friendly cul-de-sac, the school bus is within metres, a short 5 minute drive to the beach and Byron’s CBD. The owners are off on new adventures. All offers will be considered. Address: Byron Bay Price: $725,000 Agent: Rose Wanchap Red Rose Realty, Byron Bay 6680 9505, 0427 016 451

Desert Wonders EXHIBITION AND SALE

GetUp has weighed into Woolies’ connection with gambling in one of its latest campaigns: ‘It’s alarming enough that a trusted family brand has outinvested the top five Las Vegas casinos in pokie machines – but they’ve also made it clear that they don’t think that their many customers who have been devastated by the impacts of problem gambling are their problem. Earlier this year the head of Woolworths’ gambling subsidiary spoke in front of a parliamentary inquiry and shamelessly compared gambling addiction to hamburgers by saying: “I think the product is safe. Some people have addictions, be it to fast food or drugs‌ are we asking, is a hamburger safe?â€? Woolworths representatives sit on the executive board of the Australian Hotels Association, who are jointly responsible with Clubs Australia for the so-called “$20 millionâ€? mass advertising campaign against pokies reform.’ It’s a good question: ‘Is a hamburger safe?’ Q Q Q Q

Intimidating police presence? The boys in blue chill out with a little ice cream during Schoolies in the Bay. Says our citizen photographer: ‘As we approached Cold Rock ice cream shop, there was a huge huddle of police in a circle, very serious – they then dispersed and all lined up behind the counter, let my daughter and me ahead in the line, then stood behind us and argued about which lollies they would have in the ice cream! Too funny!’ Not all locals were happy with cops. See Simeon Michaels’s strip search story on page 15 and a bunch of letters on page 12.

Reporting on data from the admirable National Drug & Alcohol Research Centre (http://ndarc.med.unsw.edu. au) which shows that LSD use among young people has doubled since 2007 (but it’s still only a tiny percentage of drug use), the SMH also notes that the short-term effects of both LSD and naturally occurring hallucinogens ‘include vivid perceptual distortions, a distorted sense of time and place, sweating and/or chills’. It’s a wonder anyone uses them, or perhaps the paper is not telling the whole story.

Congratulations to the Tweed regional art gallery for picking up a $1 million bequest to recreate artist Margaret Olley’s home in a new wing. It will be a treat to visit.
