New Santos boss appointed

Full moon Thursday at Byron’s Main Beach

Luis Feliu

More than a thousand people enjoyed the free moonlit screening of the surf movie Minds In The Water on Thursday, as part of the Byron Bay International Film Festival. The night also included a special appearance by surfer/musician/filmmaker Jack Johnson. Now six years old, the festival screened 200-plus films in five venues over ten days.

The Mullumbimby-based wholefoods retailer Santos has appointed a replacement for general manager Jean Boussard who resigned suddenly last week. The announcement came in the wake of a fiery meeting of company staff, owners and management days earlier. Ryan Hamilton, who managed the company’s Byron Bay warehouse for the past 10 years, has been named as interim general manager. The Santos board of directors issued a brief statement this week saying Mr Hamilton ‘knows Santos intimately,’ and would replace Mr Boussard immediately. The board said ‘everybody at Santos is doing their best’ and it was ‘grateful to all staff for their openness and dedication’. During the meeting, Mr Boussard, who was appointed to run the 30-yearold business a year ago, had offered to stay away from Santos’s three outlets and work from home in an effort to ease tensions until a further extraordinary meeting was held. But that was not necessary as he resigned four days after the meeting. The board in its statement said it acknowledged ‘the wonderful support for Santos from unit holders and the community’.

UNESCO greeted in Gladstone by Mullum locals Hans Lovejoy

A contingent from the northern rivers region drove to Gladstone last week to meet the UNESCO delegation and to participate in activism over the massive port development that threatens the pristine area. UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation) delegates arrived Wednesday after being alerted that major LNG (liquid natural gas) export and CSG (coal-seam gas) processing facility was being constructed within the World Heritage Area of the Great Barrier Reef. Wren McLean of Mullumbimby

told The Echo she ‘spontaneously put work and the rest of my life on hold last week’ and travelled up by bus with 11 others as part of the Nimbin Environment Centre. Security, of course, was tight. ‘MP Tony Burke personally escorted UNESCO delegates and his department kept them on a strict timetable,’ says Ms McLean.

Controlled operation ‘It was quite a controlled operation. At the airport we held up signs and banners in French saying “help us” and quite a few Gladstone locals were also present.’ Another highlight she says was wel-

coming the arrival of June Norman, a seventy-one-year-old woman who walked 500km from Tara to Gladstone and arrived on the same day as UNESCO. Ms Norman says on www.sixdegrees.org.au, ‘I feel my generation is allowing this destruction to happen at a rate that is out of control. I feel responsible to do what I can to stop this madness and influence our government to consider the long-term impacts of what it is permitting.’ The walk was part of the Friends of the Earth and Lock the Gate Alliance campaign and endorsed by Footprints for Peace. Upon Wednesday’s arrival, Ms McLean says groups of activists

set up in the town centre and handed out coal-seam gas information and gave presentations, did face-painting and played music. ‘One hundred per cent of people that I stopped had serious concerns about fish kills, cyanide leaks, acid sulphate soils and indeed the demise of the entire reef ecosystem.’

Concerns for ecosystem ‘A medical doctor from Brisbane also gave a talk and said, “If the industry is not kept in check by governments, then they take risks with our lives and resources. Industrial poisoning is a long-term thing…” He gave an example at Mount Isa, where the

government knows industry is polluting at twice the recommended doses. ‘On Thursday actions were held outside the offices of CSG companies,’ says Ms McLean. ‘One man had a megaphone and was saying “What mongrel bastard companies they are”. ‘We witnessed some horrific things whilst there – evidence of the extremely adverse effects on human, marine and environmental health of the dredging, dumping, clearing and pollution already underway. ‘The trip bought to reality the extremity of scale of industrialisation planned for the series of fossil fuel export ports along he Great Barrier Reef coast.’

Steering young people towards safer driving Story & photo Eve Jeffery

Phil Preston had two good reasons to found STEER, a safe youth driving project. One was his experiences as a fire and rescue worker; the other the was when his son received his P plates. ‘My son Josh turning 17 was a big thing. That and my work doing community education with the firies is initially what brought all this about’. STEER is an acronym which aims to provide: Support, Teamwork, Education, Experience and Rewards by encouraging youth to make safe transport and reducing their risk of having a car crash by 50 per cent. He says there are four steps for parents and kids to be aware of to ensure safer driving. Local high schools offer year 10 students a FRNSW/Project U Turn road safety workshop, while year 11 students can attend the RRISK road safety presentation.

Mullum firefighter Phil Preston wants to STEER young drivers in a safer travelling direction with a program of education and incentives.

Also parents and their learner-driver offspring should take the free driving lesson in the government funded Keys2drive, a driving and support program for young drivers, their parents and instructors. Finally all young drivers should get a free NRMA membership for 16–20-year-olds through its Free2Go program.

Something Phil also hopes to have up and running in the next few weeks is a local Avego Shout system.

Ride-sharing app Avego Shout is a real-time ride-sharing iPhone appliation where drivers can send out a message to all users of their intention to travel from

point A to point B and passengers can send back a message to be picked up en route. Phil is hoping the community can get behind him to make youth driving safer. His wish list includes project supporters and sponsors to contribute funds and goods and services; web developers, logo and branding, and rewards for youth with things like cinema passes, mobile phone credit, event tickets – BluesFest/Splendour/Woodford – as well as safe vehicle inspections and discount insurance. ‘The success of any project like this begins with the people. ‘We need to make some good connections and we need businesses to get on board with the program by offering support and rewards as incentives for young drivers to attend education programs’. Anyone wanting to contact Phil about STEER can visit the website www.steerproject. org.au or the STEER Facebook page.

Cleanup now a drop-off Bill Pearce calls it a day Luis Feliu

Widespread illegal dumping has resulted in the annual kerbside pickup being scrapped. Instead, Byron Shire Council will replace it with an annual landfill drop-off for all residents. Councillors last week made the decision after staff reviewed the kerbside pickup and recommended the drop-off as a much more cost-effective way of running the service. From July, all Shire households will be allowed an annual drop-off of up to 150kg of permissible unwanted items to the Myocum landfill. Cr Richard Staples said the dumping of unwanted goods on road reserves and public land, ‘was not only unsightly and unsafe, it was also costing the Shire’. He said the replacement service was a better way of delivering a cleaner Shire as the kerbside pickup, ‘made sustainable waste management difficult’.

The pickup was previously only available to town households and not for rural ones, which staff said had sparked an ‘eruption’ of illegal dumping of unwanted items throughout the Shire during the kerbside cleanup. Cr Staples said the annual kerbside pickup posed many safety hazards for contract workers and Council staff and was a public risk, particularly for children engaged in scavenging. The cost of last year’s kerbside cleanup was just under $100,000, while the cost to clean up the piles of illegally dumped goods during the same period was around $25,000. He said that under the new system, householders could take an original copy of their July rates notice at any time to the Myocum landfill and dispose of up to 150kg of unwanted bulky items. For households who are renting, a voucher system will be set up to allow for the landfill drop-off.

Retained firefighter Bill Pearce of Brunswick Heads Fire Station retired late last year after an amazing 45 years of service to the community. Fire and Rescue NSW superintendent Chris Bond, zone commander for Northern Rivers, says a function to honour Bill will be held from 6.30pm this Saturday, March 10, at Brunswick Heads Bowling Club. Dignitaries attending will include Don Page, mem-

ber for Ballina, and assistant commissioner Jim Smith, director regional operations in Fire & Rescue NSW.

Library takeover bid abandoned by Lismore Chris Dobney

Lismore City Council has announced that it will walk away from its controversial plan to single-handedly run the Richmond-Tweed Regional Library Service following months of opposition from library lovers. The council admitted yesterday that with both Byron and Ballina councils examining other options – including walking away from the joint service if necessary – it could not feasibly continue to press ahead with the ‘administrative model’ it had foisted on the other member councils. Under the model, which was highly criticised by former library committee members and the library’s former manager Martin Field, one council was

responsible for administering the service but all participating councils were responsible for funding it. Lismore Council unilaterally moved to take over the service last year after receiving legal advice that the previous structure, in operation since the 1970s, was no longer legally sound. Critics questioned whether cash-strapped Lismore would also have control over the library’s assets, which include a substantial piece of real estate. Following the move, the state government legislated last June to provide councils with alternative library management models, including a cooperative model and a county council model. (The latter is used to run Rous Water and

Thirsty Merc

North Coast Weeds.) Statistics issued last month appeared to show that the library service had dropped the ball since Lismore unilaterally took over the running of the service, with the number of books available for loan having dropped.

Lismore Council back to drawing board The council will now go back to the drawing board. A staff resolution due to be debated next Tuesday recommends the library committee be asked to investigate alternative options for running the service, in particular the county council model. In addition, councillor Gianpiero Battista has said he will

continue to pursue his own motion that the council investigate other models. He told ABC radio last week, ‘the motion has three major points: acknowledgement of the change in legislation; Lismore to abandon the administrative model; and to collaborate with the other councils to investigate running a county council model or a co-operative model’. In a media release issued last week, Lismore City Council’s finance manager Rino Santin said, ‘delivering a regional library service is a matter that requires all of the member councils to work together in the spirit of trust and co-operation and Lismore is committed to finding a path forward that would satisfy everyone’.

Kingscliff beach rockwall work starts Luis Feliu

Work to further protect Kingscliff ’s erosion-battered foreshore resumes on Monday with contractors set to start building a 260-metre long rock wall north of the Cudgen Headland Surf Life Saving Club. The dramatic new structure is set to permanently change the face of south Kingscliff beach.

lors agreed to accept a tender for $238,392 for 6,300 tonnnes of rocks from Boral Construction for the project, set to cost $469,734 in total. The money will come from Tweed Coast Holiday Parks Reserves Trust income. As trustees, councillors recently gave the green light to spend the money on the foreshore protection.

Tweed Shire councillors decided to press ahead with the revetment (retaining wall), at a cost of almost half a million dollars. It is set to take three weeks to build and is taking advantage of a ‘tidal window’ between last weekend’s full-moon tides and the Easter holiday break when king tides are due. The extension of the existing wall in front of the surf club aims to protect the Kingscliff Beach Holiday Park; a big slice of dunal land was lost to recent erosion and several cabins had to be relocated. It will join up with the wall in front of the Kingscliff Bowls Club. At an extraordinary meeting last week, Tweed council-

Environmental groups have given the state government’s new coal-seam gas (CSG) legislation the thumbs down, saying it doesn’t give much more power to landholders and fails to protect local communities, wildlife, natural areas and groundwater resources. Resources and energy minister Chris Hartcher has released the much-anticipated new draft legislation, including a proposed code of practice for CSG explorers, strategic regional land-use plans an aquifer-interference policy and community consultation guidelines. He claims that the gas-mining industry could co-exist with farming and protection of the environment if

properly managed. But Lock The Gate Alliance has described the land-use plans and aquifer-interference policy as ‘just more broken promises’ and said the fight will continue to prevent coal and gas mining from wrecking NSW. Nature Conservation Council of NSW CEO Pepe Clarke said, ‘The plans carefully map high conservation value areas, but then offer no clear legal means of ensuring their ongoing protection,’ he added.

No legal protection Jeff Angel, executive director of Total Environment Centre, said that while the plan was a step in the right direction, it was not a big enough one. ‘The protection of strategic

agricultural lands and high conservation values is left to a process which can sideline water protection and be sidelined itself if the government deems the project to be “exceptional�,’ he said. ‘There’s no certainty for sustainable agriculture or threatened habitats. As a consequence the O’Farrell government will become embroiled in the attrition of project-by-project decisions – as communities object and campaign; and mining companies seek special exemptions and weak consent conditions,’ he predicted. After releasing the legislation, minister Hartcher said ‘the code of practice is a landmark requirement that will apply to licence holders to ensure strong standards are set for the

CSG industry during the exploration stage.’ He added that the new community consultation guidelines would improve interactions between communities and coal-seam gas explorers. ‘The coal-seam gas industry in NSW is now subject to the toughest controls in Australia,’ Mr Hartcher said. ‘The NSW government is doubling fines to ensure companies are held to account for any unauthorised activity during the exploration stage, including damage to private or Crown land. ‘We are also reviewing the security bonds currently held by the NSW government to guarantee there are enough funds to rehabilitate any potential damage to land.’

The NSW Aboriginal Land Council has been granted three petroleum exploration licences, potentially setting it up to be one of the state’s coal-seam gas miners. The Land Council has been granted rights over three tranches of land in northern NSW, one just six kilometres outside Murwillumbah, the others near Grafton and Broken Hill. The areas the licences cover are not on Aboriginal land. Petroleum exploration licences cover both oil and coalseam gas deposits, although NSW Land Council chief executive Geoff Scott last week ruled

out coal-seam gas exploration. The Land Council is talking to a number of mining companies with a view to a venture partnership. Mr Scott said it was a way Indigenous people could take control of their own destinies and potentially reap ‘billions of dollars’ for their communities.

Looking at a profit ‘Rather than get the crumbs that fall off the table, we want to be at the table,’ he told the Sydney Morning Herald. ‘Our initial geology studies are showing their potential is enormous. This is a paradigm shift,’ he said.

Mr Scott told local media that any mines would be operated with sensitivity to Aboriginal heritage and environmental issues. ‘We will have more than just a single bottom line. We’re looking at a profit, and to have an equity in the mines, but we will try to do them as equitably and sensitively as possible,’ he said. ‘At this stage we are looking at a range of different partners. In the end it will be in whatever is in the best interests of Aboriginal people and the Land Council.’ He said the Land Council would consider further mining opportunities ‘as they present themselves’. www.echo.net.au

Councillors’ rates of pay: why are they paid peanuts? Hans Lovejoy

Wanted: eight councillor hopefuls to pronounce their candidacy for the September election. Job includes fearlessly and tirelessly working on behalf of the community for low wages. Expect to work full time for around $336 per week plus allowances. $336 per week? What the? While the mayor of Byron Shire’s wage is on par, or slightly below, professional rates of pay, councillors are being asked work for a part-time wage. Other than dealing with complex, lengthy and often confusing policy and legal documents, our councillors also face a demanding and often critical public. So why are they being asked to do so much for so little?

Pay is based on shire’s ‘category’ Each NSW council falls under categorisation which determines the fees for councillors and mayors. It’s based on population and location; bigger metropolitan areas offer private offices, personal assistants and of course, a lot more money. Mayor Barham says Byron Council and the region is not served well by categorisation. ‘As Byron Shire has a small population, we are not recognised for the level of pressure and workload of being a small,

popular and iconic shire. ‘We attract over 1.5m visitors per year along with controversial developments and also have a leading role in the state and nation with key issues, particularly in relation to environmental management. ‘We also have an engaged and active community that requires additional work by councillors. ‘It is difficult, especially in an area where it is expensive to live, to expect people to devote considerable time to the elected representative role, to do so on such a small financial return. ‘Unless councillors are independently wealthy or retired, it then means that the potential for people who are able to reflect the make-up of the community are financially unable to consider standing for a position.’

Who gets what Byron Shire Council shares the same categorisation – Regional Rural (32) – with Ballina, Lismore, Tweed, Coffs Harbour and Clarence Valley. Kyogle, Tenterfield and Bellingen are smaller, being a ‘Category – rural’ (77). As mentioned, Lismore City Council (LCC) is on par with Byron. Lismore Council’s Jane Munro told The Echo that the rates of pay are almost identical: ‘LCC pays councillors $16640

per annum ($320pw) plus legitimate council expenses.’ According to Byron Council’s annual report from 2010/11,the mayor received $34,600 per year and councillors $16,143 (excluding allowances). The mayor however receives the additional salary of a councillor, making it $50,743 (excluding allowances). As for the general manager of Byron Shire’s salary, the same report claims $190,559 (excluding allowances).

Exception to rule While it’s easy to align low rates of pay with low performance, mayor Barham may be the exception to the rule having gained an MLC position in state parliament. She says after 12 years serving at a local level, she ‘accepted that it has been a choice that I made to represent the community,’ and considers it ‘fortunate that I now have secured a real job.’ More revealing is perhaps her admission that, ‘if not for the good fortune of having “reasonably” priced accommodation to rent,’ she would have found it ‘difficult to stay in the Shire, as rents have increased so dramatically over that time.’ She added, ‘It is not generally known that the “fee” councillors are paid is still taxed and there is no superannuation.’

Member for Ballina and local government minister, Don Page, says he immediately asked for a review of the Local Government Act when he took office a year ago.

Local govt act review When asked if there had been any results from the review, the department of local government’s media officer told The Echo ‘This review is due to commence shortly.’ Mr Page’s media spokesperson Steven Graham told The Echo, ‘The minister anticipates that councillors’ pay rates will be among the matters looked at during the thorough review of the legislation.’ He says matters already identified in the review include the model code of conduct for local government employees and elected officials, ‘and whether NSW should join the other most populous states in Australia in providing more independence and identity for local government by ensuring that one person can’t hold two elected positions in the political system.’ So while Mr Page waits on a report that has only begun, our impending elections will be again offering a pittance for probably one of the most important jobs in the Shire. The current system clearly does not entice good minds to enter politics.

Here’s to our wonderful billionaire miners Volume 26 #39

March 13, 2012

Beyond civilisation US Author Derrick Jensen’s philosophy is the catalyst for a film – END : CIV – being shown this week at the Byron Bay Uniting Church. It’s heartening to know this church wants to expose elite power structures and is a hot-bed for radicalism. Isn’t that what Jesus would want? The film examines our cultural addiction to violence and environmental exploitation through the construct of civilisation. The word civilisation comes from the Latin ‘civilis’, meaning civil, related to the Latin ‘civis’, meaning citizen, and ‘civitas’, meaning city or city-state. The rise of cities is where civilisations start, Jensen says, and as it is a ‘collection of people living in numbers so large that they need to import resources’ that construct is not, or can never be, sustainable. Our way of life is based on violence and slavery, according to Jensen. Our clothes are made largely by slaves from other countries, the meat we consume is farmed without consideration for the animal and diamonds generally have blood on them… And of course there’s our collective unevolved thirst for oil and other non-renewables. He says we don’t see the violence because ‘we’ve been metabolised’ into the system. Additionally, ‘We have bought into a strange notion that it’s ok to have to pay to exist on the planet.’ If you don’t pay rent for example, someone with a gun – or more power than you – will come and enforce compliance. A less emotive and more anthropological analysis of civilisations is by Scott Nearing, author of Civilization And Beyond. To paraphrase his dense and excellent tome in less than 100 words: civilisation is a means of communication, trade and record keeping. It includes an economy based on a division of labour and specialisation. It has a self-selected and perpetuating oligarchy, utilising a unified political and bureaucratic apparatus. It requires an adequate labour force to farm, transport and mine, while it supports a large middle-class element of professionals, technicians and semi-parasitic fringe dwellers. A well trained and financed military for both offence and defence is essential, along with institutions and social practices. And lastly, agreed-upon religions that maintain social conformity.

et us be absolutely clear about it: Gina Rinehart, Andrew Forrest and Clive Palmer are truly wonderful human beings and any criticism of them is motivated purely by The Politics Of Envy and Oldfashioned Class Warfare. The truth of this statement is shown by the fact that all three are obscenely rich. If it were not for this irrefutable evidence of virtue it might be possible to see them as thugs, bullies and raving ratbags, but their wealth redeems all. They are utterly above censure, especially by socialistic peasants such as Treasurer Wayne Swan, whose mewling diatribes are no more than The Politics of Envy and Old-fashioned Class Warfare directed against those whose well-polished Gucci footwear he is not fit to lick. Indeed, Swan’s essay in The Monthly denouncing the Holy Trinity as a threat to democracy is not just subversive but almost blasphemous: just ask Tony Abbott as he leads his choristers (Gerard, Janet, Piers, Miranda, Andrew, Alan, Ray, old uncle Paul Kelly and all) in an unfortunately forgotten verse of the grand old hymn, All Things Bright and Beautiful: ‘The rich man in his castle, The poor man at his gate; God made them high and lowly, He ordered their estate.’ So that proves it. But what makes Swan’s outburst not just another instance of The Politics of Envy and Oldfashioned Class Warfare but almost an act of treason is the fact that Rinehart, Forrest and Palmer (praised be their names) are not just billionaires, but mining billionaires – the gallant, selfless entrepreneurs who saved the nation during the Global Financial Crisis. Well, didn’t they? Well no, actually; according to Treasury figures during the nine months of the GFC, mining contributed just 0.1 per cent

of growth to the economy; agriculture and manufacturing each contributed three times as much. And the miners sacked more people than any other sector: if all employers had shed jobs at the same rate unemployment would have ended up at 9.7 per cent, not 5.4 per cent. What actually saved the economy was Kevin Rudd’s now-reviled stimulus package, which kept Australia’s economy in the black as the rest of the world slid into the red.

was worth ten per cent. Not really such a big player at all. What the mining industry is really good at is making profits for itself: in 2010 mining profits totalled 33.4 per cent, compared to just 6.5 per cent for manufacturing. Of course, to do so much as raise one’s eyebrows at these figures is to indulge in The Politics of Envy and Old-fashioned Class Warfare. And it should not be forgotten that riches bring their own

According to Treasury figures during the nine months of the GFC, mining contributed just 0.1 per cent of growth to the economy. by Mungo MacCallum But the good news is that the miners continued to make profits. Sure, most of them went overseas, but we mustn’t be parochial. And this is where we come back to the true altruism, wonder and beauty of Gina, Twiggy and Clive, as we may dare to call them, because they are actually our own people – they are Australians. And that means that when they rape and pillage, devastate and plunder our resources the profits stay here – apart from those that they spend on luxury imports, or overseas holidays, or other minor trinkets to reward their selfless efforts as they continue to be the driving force of our economy. Well, aren’t they? Well no, actually: mining employs less than two per cent of the work force compared to three per cent in agriculture and nine percent each in manufacturing and building; by far the largest employer is the services sector. And mining in 2010 contributed less than five per cent to Australia’s Gross Domestic Product; even back in 1900 it

people for far less profit, and is regularly lambasted for demanding protection, received in the same period. But the miners give it all back in tax; I mean, they’re always whingeing about taxes and Tony Abbott says he’ll repeal the great big new Resources Rent Tax, so they must be paying heaps. Well, mustn’t they? Well no, actually. The miners get a tax break just about every time they breathe. All exploration, all development and operation of sites, transport, environmental measures including rehabilitation, 125 per cent on research and development, fuel tax credits and plenty more, probably including the cost of their anti-government advertising, are deductions. Twiggy Forrest, the fourth-richest person in Australia and the 173rd richest person in the world, says he has not yet paid any tax at all on his mining interests; but he plans to this year, the cheque is practically in the mail – unless, of course, his accountants can find a way out. And in any case, he contributes to charity: why, he has found jobs for quite a lot of the Aboriginals whose land he has appropriated for mining. And Palmer donates heaps to the Liberal and National parties, and even Rinehart, the richest of them all, might be a bit mean with her kids but spends a fortune on lawyers and has even bought a slice of the Channel Ten and Fairfax media empires – now that’s showing real concern for the needy. So let’s have no more of The Politics of Envy and Old-fashioned Class Warfare; let’s all get up to date and be truly Aspirational. And let’s start by eating the rich. There’s an Aspiration worth having.

problems. As one letter writer to the Sydney Morning Herald explained to bemused readers a few years ago, the reason the rich need more money than the poor is that they have greater expenses. Indeed: very few of the poor face the costs associated with maintaining ocean-going yachts, private Lear jets, holiday houses on the French Riviera, and the other necessities of life associated with the likes of Rinehart, Forrest and Palmer. So fortunately an understanding government has come to their aid, and, reasonably enough, the struggling miners are right up there at the front of the queue; to deny them their rightful position would be no more than The Politics of Envy and Old-fashioned Class Warfare. The total value of the subsidies they receive is hard to quantify, but it can be said that in 2009–10 export grants, the diesel fuel rebate, apprentice subsidies and a few other bits and pieces ran out at over $1.1 billion.

Other uses for Byron landmarks Every Thursday morning I drive past the new, but empty and unused, sports and cultural centre. Then I get stuck in the Thursday morning traffic bottleneck, which is extra on farmers market day, held at the Butler Street reserve. Why not hold the farmers market on the grounds of our new facility? It is surely a ‘cultural’ activity? There is heaps of room, heaps of car parking and toilet facilities. Plus a great promo for the new facility. It would take traffic away from town, rather than adding to our traffic woes. The bike track goes right to the door, too. It might be an idea to hold the monthly markets there too. It would be wonderful to see this new facility in use for the markets, such great drawcard for Byron Bay. With an added

Bugger Bangalow and Ewingsdale and the animals – the trucks want to go faster. What’s wrong with slowing down going up a hill – you can enjoy the view and take a breather. Why do we need to drive so fast? What’s the rush? Where are we going? We’re already here – paradise! Didn’t we choose to live here because we wanted to slow down, to live a more relaxed lifestyle. We left the city behind – didn’t we?

Deep concerns from the Australian public are propagated by green groups (often funded by Pew – oil company money) who have demonised Australian commercially fishing families unnecessarily so they can garnish your hardearned dollar (article by Ray Hilborn and Professor Bob Kearney at www.worldfishing. net/news101/australian-fish-issustainable-fish). Why should we import seafood (often produced in conditions not acceptable by Australian standards, eg environmental, workers’ rights, added chemicals) when we are perfectly capable of producing our own sustainable, healthy seafood? There is plenty of seafood out there. Australia has the fourth-largest marine jurisdiction in the world but produces less than Japan, New Zealand or Thailand (where a large percentage of seafood sold in Australia comes from). As marine parks target the prime marine food resource areas for closure (politically motivated for green preferences) we are not allowed to catch it for you.

What exactly have you contributed to the community as a councillor, Tom? Other than robbing this large community of 18 high, dry acres of land for home sportsfields for our kids, sold off community land, robbed us of any possibility of an arts and cultural centre, thwarted aged accommodation in the north of the Shire, roadside rubbish removal, a greenwaste bin service, the Bangalow Olympic pool, the Byron ArtsCape, affordable housing, personal freedoms of recreational anglers and the dredging of the Brunswick River.

Shorts last

The Byron film fest is such a pleasure, giving me the opportunity to see all sorts of films. However, it also forces me to see ones I don’t want. I was considering this when I realised that the BBFF was (perhaps not deliberately) paying homage to the oldest sacred cow in cinema. That is, first we will show some shorts, then we will show you the main feature (long film), thus forcing the pa-

trons to sit through films they don’t want. Boring. What to do? Try putting on the main feature (long film) first. After all, it is probably the film most people are coming to see. Then show the shorts for those who are interested. Oh I know, I could calculate the times of the shorts and add three to four minutes for the ‘chat’ in between, add it all up and work out when to enter the cinema for the main feature, but it’s tricky. Let’s be revolutionary and no longer hold the patrons hostage to items of lesser interest, especially as we could use the time for coffee or conversation outside. Show the main feature first!

Another week, another attack on democracy in The Echo?! This time by letter writer Robin Harrison. Pause – before defending all we should be holding dear, I laud the new Mullum IGA Co-op plan and wish them every success! Every success that a vibrant, thriving community deserves! A community that takes responsibility and shows initiative whatever its situation. A community that draws like-minded people, and, for mine, some of Australia’s best. A community people feel a part of, a community where people’s voices are heard. A community that operates – democratically. A community where ‘… instead of looking on discussion as a stumbling-block in the way of action, we think it an indispensible preliminary to any wise action at all.’ That quotation is from the funeral oration of Pericles, around

430BCE. The text is available online, and it sets forth much that democracy can aspire to and achieve. Abrasive? Contrary? Noisy? Perhaps. But so is all of ripe, fertile nature. Do not be deceived by those who suggest it’s all a set-up, a rigged game, a 50/50 Left-Right split. In reality 90 per cent of the population usually agree, we just argue about the details, and the 50/50 occurs where the arguments narrow toward a decision. And the ten per cent? We are they. Whenever we differ from the mass. They are they, when we are with the mass, and those who disagree the outsiders. The greatest of all essentials? That ten per cent must be free to disagree, for from it come our inspirations. The greatest of all goods? Not to be well governed, but free to learn, teach, argue, debate, disagree, agree, divide, unite, as we choose so to do. Matt Hartley

Political vibrations We stand as a disillusioned majority seeking a genuine alternative to rampant capitalism. Any of these characters Mungo flatters on a regular basis would fail to fill even half of the Coorabell village hall if they held a public meeting there with free admission, sausage sizzle and a shuttle bus. Let’s have some real political debate and insight instead of sycophantic, apologetic personality rubbish – we can find that all over the ABC.

ship politics – the ultimate puppet for corporate greed, Mr Bob Carr of Macquarie Bank and chief lobbyist for the pokies industry, I have to admit I’ve had enough of Mungo’s column. He is a fine writer who occupies a large proportion of The Echo every week but he seems to be out of touch and out of tune with the political vibrations of this area.

that are often never received. It has been that way for years, which is the reason Centrelink staff are so happy to fix all these ‘glitches’ for us – to continue a cover-up. It is the way they fix them and the computer records that are left that illustrate just how systemically corrupt and officiously nasty this welfaresystem really is. If one was to read Centrelink’s records of my recent harassment, except for my misunderstandings, it never happened. What you say to Centrelink staff does not go into your records verbatim, only a distorted and sanitised version of it. The creation of False Instruments under the definition of the Crimes Act. I recommend to every unemployed reader that you FOI all documents

Centrelink/DEWR hold on you – they will make very interesting reading and will be a mine of misinformation: Sec23 FOI Act. Anybody who uses Centrelink’s automated system is crazy. You cannot argue with a computer printout at the AAAT or in court but you can subpoena Centrelink staff to back up your story against those printouts and false instruments. Records Centrelink have supplied me now show that interviews I was suspended for never existed and that the letters for them were never sent anyway. Nor do they show that at any time I ever walked into Centrelink to attend those interviews and was told by staff they didn’t exist. The most intriguing thing

though is that Centrelink’s official statements of income provided me do not reconcile with either my bank statements or Centrelink’s own internal printouts. It is as though two sets of books are being run – one for the public and the parliament full of ‘Centrelink frauds’ and fantastic figures of monies-recovered and a hidden one which shows what really happens, how those bullshit Centrelink fraud figures are really obtained and (because the employment provider/interview system was set up to siphon public money into private pockets), how open this computer system really is to sophisticated computer fraud from the inside.

Researcher finds ‘growing pains’ in buffed bods More than ten per cent of participants in a recent study of weightlifters in gymnasiums in northern NSW exhibited the symptoms of a psychological disorder that makes them believe that their body is too small or insufficiently muscular, according to research from Southern Cross University. Johanna Nieuwoudt, a PhD candidate with the School of Health and Human Sciences, pictured, completed an honours thesis based on research in the sweaty world of gyms around the psychological condition known as muscle dysmorphia, which has been nicknamed ‘reverse anorexia’

or ‘manorexia’. Basically put, sufferers have a relentless drive to become more muscular, even if they may be already more muscular than the average person. The condition, which was first proposed in 1993, has yet to be fully accepted by health authorities but Ms Nieuwoudt is hoping that her research could assist in the correct classification of muscle dysmorphia in the next edition of the American Psychiatric Association-published Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental with steroid abuse,’ Ms Nieuwoudt said.

of the powerful in realising deeply-held ideological views and beliefs. In this case the restoration of the land of Palestine into Jewish hands. This process reached its pinnacle when Hitler decided to help Jews get out of Europe by forcibly deporting them under threat of annihilation. Hitler in fact had plans even for Israel which he mockingly called ‘a self administering concentration camp’ which he planned to invade as soon as he had subdued the Russians and Africa. Modern Israelis may be surprised to know that the land they claim as their own, Palestine, has changed hands several times over history with many peoples settling there over the centuries. The last time the Jews ‘possessed’ Israel/Palestine was a few decades after the time of Jesus when they were summarily exiled en masse from the land by the Romans for having the temerity to rise up against that empire. In this context the modern Israelis have as little or as much right to possess Israel/ Palestine/Canaan as anyone willing to use force of arms to invade the land and dispossess the current inhabitants. Thus is the lesson of history, untold and unwanted because it challenges the current paradigm. In this context the beliefs of Jews, Christians and Muslims are unnervingly similar in that they all believe that God will protect them and give them final victory. Ofttimes one would not be wrong in believing that we are living in the dark ages again when this kind of mania reached its zenith during the Crusades. In that context Osama Bin Laden was not that far off the mark in his analysis of the militaristic depredations of the West and its staunch Middle East ally, Israel, on his fellow Muslims and their lands. All three faiths seem, in their extremities, to welcome Armageddon and all three seem intent on bringing it on.

The compliance push

I was rather bemused by David Lovejoy’s perplexity last week when he quoted a Council press release to the effect that a former Nationals candidate had had a compliance matter raised against him in court. David’s question was ‘What does Mr Hunter’s political affiliation have to do with anything?’ Quite a bit actually, David. For a while now I’ve been hinting that all Council’s compliance actions seem to be aimed at the left/hippy side of the local population. At a Council meeting late last year I came right out with it in a light-hearted question to the GM: ‘What do you say to rumours circulating in the community that staff are deliberately trying to drive hippies out of rural areas?’ There was this moment of silence during which Cr Woods, in a rare moment of insight, mumbled that I’m the one who’s circulating that notion, after which the GM smilingly dismissed what I was suggesting. (Indeed all the staff were smiling, come to think of it.) Anyway my point seems to have hit home. I suggest that the reference to legal action in the press release was a deliberate attempt by the staff to counter any suggestion of selective prosecution. The Echo was meant to print this prominently so that the community would then get the impression that staff were even-handed and fearless in their pursuit of law-breakers. What a pity for them that The Echo declined to play ball. The prosecution of Shai Major was also essentially political. If you go back to Council’s press release late last year you’ll see the suggestion made that this was proof that Council was serious about illegal holiday accommodation. In reality, however, Major was charged with running an illegal backpackers hostel, not with holiday letting as such. In that same press release M Mizzi the suggestion is also made Byron Bay that the owners of a new resi-

bigger can become obsessive, with their relationship with their body overcoming all else.’ The survey of 116 weightlifters in northern New South Wales showed that young men were more likely to exhibit signs of muscle dysmorphia, as were those with larger biceps and those that used supplements. Ms Nieuwoudt agreed there was a fine line between being a driven bodybuilder or weightlifter and someone who had become obsessive to the extent of muscle dysmorphia. Researching for proper diagnostic tools and where the disorder sits in the area of psychological

disorders will form the basis of her PhD. ‘There is a lot of discussion and many researchers cannot agree whether muscle dysmorphia should be categorised as a body dysmorphic disorder or an eating disorder. ‘Limitations in the assessment of muscle dysmorphia do exist and the strength of conclusions drawn in its research may therefore be reduced. But clearly further research is needed into this disorder and a better understanding of the course, outcome, and treatment of muscle dysmorphia would benefit individuals who suffer from this disorder.’

dential complex in Shirley Street will be charged with holiday letting, further proof (allegedly) that Council is serious. Really? The context of this matter is that over the past couple of years Council staff have been adding a consent condition to new dwelling approvals which disallows tourist accommodation. Staff claim that this condition makes it easier to prosecute them. This is utter rubbish; holiday letting is prohibited in a residential zone and adding those words to the consent merely restates what is already legally the case. What’s really going on is this: the old boys in the holiday-letting scene will be allowed to continue doing it because it’s ‘too difficult’ to prosecute them, while new entrants run the risk of being shut down, supposedly because of the consent condition. In other words we’ll have a two-tiered system where the old guard are protected both from prosecution and from competition. Where do the, um, intellectuals on Council stand on this? I’m referring of course to Cr Morrissey, who apparently has a PhD in something that doesn’t involve any excessive opening of the eyes, and Cr Cameron, who apparently has a law degree but is quite unconcerned about irregularities that Council routinely indulges in. Both recently voted against getting councillors involved in the disputes resolution committee, where it would be councillors rather than the staff who decide who gets prosecuted for what. This exceeding gutless Pontius Pilate copout act of theirs absolves me of restraint I might otherwise have felt in any future criticism of them. Indeed I will be examining their propaganda during the last election campaign to see what exactly they promised. Somehow I doubt that they promised that holiday letting would be systematically protected while rural hippies would be harassed at will by

the staff, and more and more power handed over to the GM. They are an embarrassment to democracy and I don’t know why David Lovejoy didn’t actually name them in his opinion piece. Am I to be the only person calling a spade a spade? Which leads to the question I am increasingly being asked: Am I serious about running for mayor? To keep Pontius Cameron out, yes, I would make that sacrifice. I don’t like opportunists with big egos. Fast Buck$

Ball of light I feel that people are experiencing unusual physical and emotional states at the moment and this information may help them understand what’s going on and how to help themselves. There is a massive ball of light that arrived on the earth about a week and a half ago which will make any action or thought have tenfold the power to manifest. Exactly how long this will last I’m not too sure but it will increase our vibrations and give us a nudge along the ascension path. At present our bodies are having trouble keeping up with the higher vibrations of our spirit with symptoms of feeling really tired in a different way, feeling a bit dizzy or wobbly, feeling very hungry and emotions coming up very suddenly. To help yourself through this part of the ascension journey: don’t give yourself a hard time because there is nothing wrong with you, just rest when you need it, drink heaps of good blessed, crystal water (place a crystal you’re drawn to in a glass container of water), eat grounding food, breathe deeply and ask the heavenly realms to help all they can. Oh, and connect with nature as much as you can. We are all in it together; enjoy the ride. Yahndi Dee-Nay

Comment

Have our coal miners never heard of climate risk? pletely out of control, given everything we know about climate change, and we need a plan to gradually phase out the thermal coal industry, rather than ramping it up,’ Hepburn says. ‘None of this is being scrutinised. No-one is doing due diligence.’ It also has other impacts. A study by The Australia Institute has highlighted how the $8 billion First China coal mine, which plans to extract 40 million tonnes of thermal coal from the Galilee Basin, has admitted that the broader economic consequences of its activities could include driving more than $1.2 billion worth of manufacturing offshore, cause 3,000 job losses and result in higher housing costs and a less equal distribution of income.

Giles Parkinson

It’s been fascinating to watch the reaction of the mining industry and others to revelations that Greenpeace is seeking funds to stop the uncontrolled expansion of the thermal coal industry in Queensland and NSW. The hyperbole and the hypocrisy have been breathtaking. Greenpeace wants to shut down the entire mining industry, say the lobbyists, who spent $28 million on a campaign they thought was important to protect their economic interests, but who wish to decry environmentalists for wanting to spend a smaller amount to protect theirs. It turns out that Greenpeace is not seeking to close every coal mine and put every coal miner out of work after all. As Bob Brown noted on ABC TV the other day, even greenies need cars, and houses, and other things made from metals and other stuff you dig up from the ground. The campaign, according to John Hepburn, the Greenpeace activist who is being vilified by the treasurer, business groups and some media, is to focus on the ‘uncontrolled’ expansion of thermal coal mines, which Greenpeace sees as the biggest threat to its economic interest, which is best described as a stable climate. Let’s be clear: There is absolutely nothing wrong with the sort of expansion planned for the Australian thermal coal mines, and the multi-billion investments in coal ports and associated infrastructure along the Queensland coast and in NSW – just so long as you believe that climate change is not caused by humans, and/or the world won’t bother doing anything about it, and that fossil fuels can never be superseded by clean energy technologies.

Risky business However, if you believe that the real answers to those three issues are that it is, we will, and they can, then investing in this infrastructure is a risky business. This is the underlying theme of the Greenpeace campaign. In the absence of political and investor engagement, they propose to raise $6 million to help local communities wade through the tonnes of pages contained in environmental and economic impact statements, and to fund legal challenges. The goal of the campaign is quite clear. To protect environmentally sensitive areas, to harry and delay projects and infrastructure which will result in the trebling of thermal coal exports from this country, and through this bring publicity and focus on the enormous risks

in such investment, which are more than just environmental. But is it, as the treasurer claims ‘irrational’, or is it a reasonable summation of the risks for investors, the government, and the general population. Let’s forget about the environmentalists for the moment and see what some serious economists say about this. Again, the International Energy Agency’s 2011 World Energy Outlook is not a bad place to start. It said that if the world wants an even chance of having a stable climate, by limiting global warming to around 2°C, and total emissions to 450 parts per million, then it had better act fast, because its carbon budget is running out quickly.

Phasing out coal In the ‘450 scenario’ painted by the IEA economists, the construction of new coal-fired power stations is effectively brought to a halt by 2017, and the global share of coal-fired power generation plunges from 41 per cent to 15 per cent by 2035, with more than 600GW of coal-fired plants shut down. China, once the biggest customer of Australian thermal coal, ceases to become an importer of any coal. India becomes its biggest customer. But then there is the technology factor. In the last three months, the governments of India, China and the US have all predicted that the cost of utility-scale solar will fall below that of either coal-fired or gas-fired generation by the end of the decade. In India, because of its reliance on costly imports and poor infrastructure, it could come as early as 2016. That will not signal an instant cessation of their coal

plant expansion, but it will give them fuel for thought, so to speak, and will certainly slow the rate of growth. As the executive director of Tata Power told Bloomberg in an interview just yesterday, coal projects are becoming impossible to build, and the company will favour wind and solar over coal. ‘Why would anyone want to invest at this stage in a coal project?’ he asked. This from the largest private power producer in what is supposed to be Australia’s biggest market. Australian investors, and the government that is supporting the infrastructure, on the basis that Indian and China coal demand will not slow down, might want to ask themselves the same question. In the US, according to this Reuters article, developers of 250MW of utility-scale solar contracted to deliver it at under 10.9c/Kwh from 2013 – the same price as the estimated cost of new coal-fired power. In China last week, bids for a 30MW utilityscale solar plant were pitched at 77c a watt – nearly enough to make it as cheap as new-build coal in that country.

Carbon budget Even if coal miners are not asking themselves these questions, it is true that global investors are also becoming increasingly focused on the ‘carbon budget’ and what this might mean for long-term risks and returns. In the UK, for instance, the Carbon Tracker Initiative wrote to the Bank of England, expressing its concern about the level of risk faced by UK investors on the London Stock Exchange to companies with high carbon exposure, mostly from coal investments in the UK.

The response from BoE Governor Mervyn King was equivocal, but analysts have been doing some exploratory work as to what a carbon constrained market might look like from the point of view of company valuations. In late 2010, two analysts from Citi, Elaine Prior and Craig Sainsbury, painted two ‘what if ’ scenarios based on a stringent 2°C scenario.

Real value of coal In one of their examples, they divided the ‘time’ components of Coal and Allied and its ‘base case’ valuation of $113 a share. More than a quarter of that valuation was based on post-2025 production. In its ‘extreme’ case, where the world is taking dramatic action on climate change, its valuation of Coal and Allied fell 44 per cent to $50.35 a share. (Coal and Allied has since been bought out by its major shareholder, Rio Tinto.) In the case of Woodside, which had a base case valuation at the time of $44.64 a share, the net present value falls by one third to $29.46. ‘Those who believe that stringent carbon constraints are probable, in line with the ‘2 degree’ scenario, may wish to underweight fossil fuels in their portfolios (or to issue mandates to their fund managers to take this stance),’ the analysts wrote at the time. But it’s hardly top of mind for most investors. As Nathan Fabian, the CEO of the Investor Group on Climate Change notes, there is an awareness that market dynamics will shift at some point, but most expect that to be well after 2020. The outcomes from Durban rein-

<echowebsection=Articles>

forced the view that it will be the back half of 2020–30 before any regulation begins to bite the coal industry. ‘At this stage, there is an assumption that most coal exposures can be traded out of well in advance of crunch events,’ he says. The question of how to diversify away from carbon risks may be on the minds of some super funds, but this is yet to flow through to the investments of fund managers who are investing on one- to three-year horizons. The Greenpeace campaign aims to accelerate that awakening. And there is plenty to suggest that its campaign could be effective. Look, for instance, at the grass-roots campaign against coal-seam gas; or even that against wind farms, in Australia and in other AngloSaxon countries. Look, also, at the success of the Sierra Club’s Beyond Coal campaign in the US, which last week celebrated the announced closure of the 100th coal-fired power plant since early 2010. That’s one a week for the last two years. Over the last decade, the campaign claims to have prevented 166 proposed new coal-fired power plants from being built.

Galilee exploitation Greenpeace is particularly appalled by the prospects for the Galilee Basin, a region hitherto unexploited by the coal industry. There are plans to export 385 million tonnes from this region alone – more than Australia’s current coal exports. Massive infrastructure needs to be built, including a 500km railway and new port facilities, and the size of the mines will treble from 20 million tonnes a year to 60 million. ‘We think this is com-

One thing that the reaction to the Greenpeace campaign has highlighted is that Australian politicians, and the mainstream media, are illprepared for such a debate – the level of political rhetoric is such that these things cannot be discussed intelligently; the depth of financial analysis, non-existent. When policy is constructed, it is done in such a way that it inspires AGL Energy, the nation’s biggest investor in renewable energy over the last five years, to buy the country’s biggest carbon emitter, the Loy Yang A brown-coal power stations. Even if it has no longterm future, it will likely make so much cash in the short term, it doesn’t matter. Some brown-coal generators and their adjacent mines will close, but they will be paid up to $2 billion by the taxpayer for the privilege under the government’s buyout scheme. This appears to be a uniquely Australian invention – none of the 100-plus coalfired plants closed in the US, or the 90GW of coal-fired energy closed in China, received a dollar. Presumably, the mining barons are counting on the government bailing them out when their infrastructure and mining investment becomes redundant too, after they’ve made off with their short-term profits. It would be a fair bet they would have their hands out for a lot more than $6 million. Who, exactly, Mr Swan, is being irrational?

Those of you who flick the idiot box on from time to time may have seen the ad for industry superannuation funds ‘Compare the Pair’. It’s hard to miss, various versions run frequently on different networks. The advertising costs must be huge. With that in mind, I thought it timely to put forward a little comparison data myself, which is more specific to the type of funds one might be recommended by a non-industry fund or

non-bank financial adviser such as myself. I want to make it clear, however, that this is not an ‘Us versus Them’ approach. Industry funds have their place in the market as do low-cost funds recommended by financial advisers; the reality of the cost and fee differences, however, might just surprise you.

Have you considered fixing your home loan? If you don’t get in soon it could be too late! Now is the time to take advantage of some very good fixed rates to lock in your repayments for the next few years! If you were waiting to see if the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) is going to lower their official cash rate in 2012 then think again, as you could be waiting for a long time. Already last month we have seen the majority of banks increase their variable rates outside the RBA; this has happened in the past but very rarely. This is a very good indication that rates are not going any further down. In the last two weeks I have seen many of the fixed rates that were below six per cent creep up to above six per cent and move closer and closer to the variable rate. A fixed rate is not the right choice for everybody but it does give you the comfort

of knowing how much you need to pay off your mortgage each month. With the world economy experiencing so many different problems at the moment, having the peace of mind of knowing that your mortgage repayments won’t change certainly helps sleeping at night! Do your finances keep you awake at night? Well, don’t worry any more – I am here to help! Give me a call and have a free appointment with me at your house; look at your finances and see if fixing your loan is an option for you.

Don’t believe everything you see on tv One of the most common questions in Foreign Exchange is ‘The rate on TV is “XXX” so why is your rate “XXX”?’ What you see on TV, radio, in the newspapers or online are not the same (even same day) and are always different from the rates you receive at retail providers. This can be confusing to the inexperienced FX customer and is often responsible for the ‘loss’, or perceived loss, on currency and transfer exchanges. Why is it different ? For starters the mid or ‘spot’ rate quoted in the media comes directly from FX markets at a given time of day. If Channel 10 gets indicative rates for US dollar, pound, euro, etc at 7am, Channel 7 at 8am and The Australian 12am prior to print, these are naturally different. The FX market dwarfs the stock market globally and rates change every second. Vast differences in currency values are possible. Secondly the spot rate is exactly that, the ‘middle’ of the market. The FX market moves constantly and so does the spot. Depending on whether ‘buying’ or ‘selling’ currency, the retail rates sit on either side of the mid point. If there were no starting point there would be no way to trade currency. In much the same way the Reserve Bank sets the interest rate and banks and other credit providers either add or subtract a margin to the client, essentially the RBA rate doesn’t ‘mean’ much in a retail sense (and even less so lately with banks ignoring the RBA recommendation). If the US/AU is at 1.07 in the media, for example, the retail rate on cash that day will generally be between 1.045 (to purchase US cash) and 1.095 (to sell US cash). This

<echowebsection=Business and Finance>

is essential, for the retail market would not be able to exist if the trading rate moved every second with the market. Larger cash transactions or international money transfer (IMTs or TTs) rates are taken from the ‘live’ market as deals occur, to be closer to the ‘real’ market activity. This doesn’t mean the indicative isn’t important. Each day shows us the dollar’s strength in comparison to the one before and assists us make decisions about when to buy or sell. Remember, this is your decision. Anyone who intimates a ‘best time’ to trade is misleading you, as all advice in the FX industry is speculative. If anyone knew what was going to happen with the AU dollar (or any other) they would quickly be billionaires. Comparing ‘apples to apples’ is your only real decision. We cannot guess the market but can get the best deal on any day by shopping around. Ask the same question: ‘How much will US1000 cost me today in total?’ This is the only true way to see who has the best rate. Whoever charges you the least (when buying) or gives you the most (when selling) is the retail provider with the rates closest to the indicative market. If the question is ‘How much will US250 000 cost me today?’ this is even more relevant as a rate different of a mere .002 points can mean 500 difference to you, let alone one of one per cent.

YEARS AGO THE FILM SHINE STARRING GEOFFREY RUSH DID THE AUSTRALIAN PUBLIC A GREAT FAVOUR: IT ACQUAINTED THEM WITH THE IRREPRESSIBLE TALENT OF THE FILM’S SUBJECT, DAVID HELFGOTT.

IN THE WORLD OF UKULELE, BOSKO AND HONEY ARE LEGENDS. THEY WILL BE PRESENTING A WORKSHOP AND SHOW AT THE BANGALOW A&I HALL ON WEDNESDAY 21 MARCH. THE ECHO CAUGHT UP WITH THEM ABOUT THEIR LIVES AS UKE PLAYERS. There are two types of people: those who love uke and those who don’t. Those who don’t are rather vocal about it. What do you say to those who see your little four-stringed friend as a public menace? [Bosko] Come and see the show! Actually, one of the good things about playing uke has always been that it’s relatively easy to exceed people’s expectations, especially if they have preconceptions about it. While we love playing for

ukulele enthusiasts, we also like playing for people who have never really heard the uke treated seriously before. So the lower the expectations the better as far as we’re concerned – it just makes it easier to surprise! I heard the international ukulele virtuoso Jake Shimabukuro say something along these lines in an interview once, and he’s a guy who changed the way a lot of people view the instrument big time‌ all around the world people who would never have gone near a ukulele before they heard him play While My Guitar Gently Weeps started getting into it as a serious solo instrument. It’s a bit ironic though: now some people expect you to play like Jake! [Honey] We don’t, by the way! ...CONTINUED NEXT PAGE

The story was so life affirming and so deeply life changing that many who had never bothered to listen to classical music soon found themselves at a Helfgott concert, just to be in the presence of this unconventional and gifted man. Last year he teamed up with Yantra de Vilder, a one-time Byron Shire local, for a series of concerts which the two are planning to tour through Europe. On the eve of David and Yantra’s performance at the Byron Community Centre, Seven caught up with Gillian Helfgott about just what is in store. It’s great to see David and Yantra playing together on the same bill. How did they meet, or come to be touring a show together? They met in Byron Bay at a function for The Buttery and they played together informally on that occasion. They enjoyed it so much when they had the opportunity to work together again in Avoca Beach in April 2011 that they were delighted to collaborate again. How do their styles complement each other? Do they play together at all, or is it strictly one pianist per performance? They play separately in the main recital part of the program, but they end the evening with a piece together. They improvise and it is so beautiful to experience the music flowing spontaneously from them both. This is quite a new field for David and it is opening his musical horizons to the joy of improvisation. Why does David have such a passion for Rachmaninov? It is such romantic music and the melodies are so beautiful. It touches him deeply and he responds so much to the Russian passion and colour that is in the music. How does David prepare for a tour like this? A lot of practice and then more. He also relaxes with swimming and reading, but the music is his main focus. One of the most delightful aspects of David’s performance is how much he is enjoying himself. Classical music is usually frightfully stuffy. Do you think this helps less classically inclined people access music they may never have found? Absolutely. He has broken down so many barriers with his delightful personality and complete lack of formality and remoteness. The audiences also love sharing David’s joy and they leave the auditorium with smiles on their faces. How would you describe the effect David’s music has on people? Is it possible to separate that from the energy of the man himself? Or are the man and the music one

thing? The great violinist Ivry Gitless said of David, ‘He is the music’. Other musicians have also made this comment. The music flows through him and it is his great passion in life, and the audiences feel his passion and he touches people’s hearts. Frequently people have tears in their eyes from the moving experience of his performances. It is more than just a musical event: it is the man opening his heart to all. Tell me a little about the upcoming European tour? What are the responses to David’s playing over there? Last year when David performed in the famous Vienna Concert Hall the stage manager told me he had worked at the theatre for 22 years and had never seen an audience respond to an artist as the Viennese did with David. This is a highly sophisticated audience and they love him, singing and all! He will be returning to Vienna in April for a performance of the Rachmaninov Third Piano Concerto and then touring Germany. He will also return to Vienna on his birthday in May to play at the Life Ball, a huge outdoor fundraising event for AIDS, to an audience of 40,000 people. He will also perform in Denmark and Sweden. Are the touring schedules exhausting? How do you and David stay ‘grounded’ when you are on the road? We are fortunate to stay in very beautiful spacious hotels and we also have many friends around Europe so our life while touring is very well planned. Also we have a tour manager with us all the time and this is a great support. However, we do love returning home. What is it about David’s playing that moves you most deeply? It is his complete love of and identification with the music and not allowing his intellect to interfere with the spontaneous flowing of the music. Can you tell me a little about what we can expect for the Byron show? A unique experience. Here are two amazing musicians, in different fields, sharing their individual talents in such a beautiful way and then joining to bring an unfolding of their musical beings to the music.

How do you inspire people when you teach them? [Bosko] With humour and enthusiasm. [Honey] I also tell them the story that the ukulele is my first instrument. At school in Japan my teacher said I didn’t have any talent so I never tried to learn an instrument since… until Bosko gave me a uke seven years ago! Why do you think such a little instrument like the uke has such big Are the songs you write on uke, as opposed to guitar, significantly heart? [Bosko] Perhaps because it’s little. It’s very easy to develop an different – meaning do the instruments themselves, rather than intimacy with it because it’s so cute and accessible… easy to pick up, the actual melody or lyric, give voice to tone and style of songs? easy to put down and easy to carry around. You tend to have it with Some songs are definitely born because of the ‘voice’ of the uke, but you more often than a larger instrument like a guitar so you end up playing it more. You can get pretty obsessed actually! But for us music if we played guitar we’d probably be dealing with similar material and musical influences… we basically treat the uke as a regular is really just an excuse to connect with people, and the uke seems to instrument. Another interesting thing is that ukuleles vary hugely be particularly good at doing that. in the character of their sound.

MICK MCHUGH IS ONE OF THE LOCAL ACTS FEATURED AT THIS YEAR’S BLUESFEST. You have had a lot of attention through competitions; how have these helped raise your profile as a musician? They have given me credibility and confidence as a professional songwriter. Especially considering that to this point my CDs have been recorded on low budgets and yet they have still been shortlisted in all these songwriting contests. It shows me that the core foundation that makes a song good is present in my songwriting. And also that a number of my songs have been nominated in various categories, not just folk, but song of the year, world, ballad, instrumental, devotional, lyrics, protest. Can you explain what the International Honour Award is? I entered my song A Long Way From Home in an international songwriting competition and it was awarded an ‘Honour Award’… however, Mandy, with this whole global financial crisis nobody is giving out money anymore! Ha! But having my song recognised by a

panel of international judges is a great indication that I’m on the right track with my song crafting. Tell me a little about your new CD? Well, I think it’s brilliant. I’ve taken my time and made it as brilliant as I could on an independent budget. And one of the songs has been licensed by Universal Music to go on this year’s Bluesfest CD… so we must have gotten something right Yeeha! I’ve actually recorded 13 songs, but we’re only releasing five of those plus a live song for Bluesfest and Ralph McTell national tour. Build the momentum and then we’ll release the full album when the time is right. What inspires you in your songwriting? Family, love, life and laughter. On the new CD, the song inspirations are teaching kids, big and little, that they’re perfect as they are, finding love all over this world, laughing at the neverending list of domestic chores, moving to a new country, a CSG mining song, about protecting children from the harsh realities of the world What song off the new CD are you proudest of? Hmm… that’s a hard one; different ones make me happy for different reasons. But probably the CSG song, Lie to Me, because of its songcraft, the reaction from audiences and because it’s only got voice, guitar and harmonica yet still makes a big impact because of the lyrics. I love that it is stripped back and hits people in the heart with the story. One lady said to me that it made her cry at two different points in the song… that makes me happy cos the song has reach out and touched someone. And I’ve been invited to perform it at a conference with ABC’s Alan Jones and Lee Kernaghan. So it is gaining momentum. But I also love the title track, You’re Perfect …I love saying that to people! What should we expect for your Bluesfest show? An all outand-out folk’n’roll Mick McHugh show with upbeat dancing tunes, audience participation and heart-hitting ballads. I’ve got my mandolin player joining me and he’s also gunna lift it with the electric guitar on the rockier tunes… after all, it is Cold Chisel night! Last year, we only played the busking tent and it went off for us… so I can’t wait… For ticketing and program information go to www.bluesfest. com.au.

KIRTAN MUSIC The call-and-response form of mantra chanting known as kirtan is a consciousness-transforming practice, directing the singers to vanish into the song as drops merge into the ocean.

&LQHPD 5HYLHZ J Edgar J Edgar Hoover, founder and longtime director of America’s much-despised Federal Bureau of Investigation, looms large in the list of tyrants whose apparent raison d’être was to seek out and punish proponents of any movement that would undermine their fanatically anti-Communist, waspish world view. To blacks, unionists and counterculture activists of the sixties, he was no more than a bullying, crossdressing ogre. Clint Eastwood’s unsettled, uneven biopic has portrayed the man as something more than just a right-wing Joe Stalin in a frock, but accepting him as a sympathetic character might be going a bridge too far for most of us – the concluding

homily by Hoover (Leonardo DiCaprio) about the inestimable value of love is more than just a tad galling… but then again, character assassination works both ways, I guess. Flitting from past to present (1968), as Hoover dictates his memoir, we are one minute following developments in the early days of the FBI, when he was hellbent on de-glamourising the cult of the gangster (surely a worthy goal?), to his later years as the anachronistic warrior still besotted with his mother while rigidly maintaining a wall around his longstanding relationship with Clyde Tolson (Armie Hammer) – Eastwood is (rather sadly in this day and age) at pains to stress that their bond was

never physically consummated. Hoover is presented as a man who was not above garnishing his reputation with fabricated details of his own involvement in the tracking down of notorious crooks – he even went so far as to sack the agent who shot John Dillinger for stealing the limelight – and is classically cast as somebody who was corrupted by power. As he’s done before (most memorably in Million Dollar Baby), Eastwood composed the music himself, but it frequently sounds as though it was written before the fact – one scene is bizarrely underscored by an attempt at Bach piano. Patient, concise and, as always with Eastwood, character driven, the movie is probably a more forgiving epitaph than Hoover rightfully deserves. ~ John Campbell

The least you can reasonably hope for from any bio-pic, even one concerning itself with the tiniest slice of a famous life, is that a new light might be cast on the subject in question. Director Simon Curtis fails that fundamental test, opting instead to regurgitate the same old same old that we’ve all read and accepted as gospel about Marilyn Monroe in glossy mags – which is to say, it does no more than burnish the myth (Joyce Carol Oates’s Blonde delves deeper, but at 900 pages its appeal is not exactly irresistible to the shrinking concentration span of our iBrains). So what we get is poor Marilyn the uniquely gifted but misunderstood, beautiful Marilyn the goddess of sexual allure but a fragile fawn in an unspeakably demanding profession – a sad, lonely girl whom nobody understands. It’s strictly for the legion of fans who feel that they are already on intimate terms with their idol. The story deals with the time Monroe spent in England when shooting The Prince and the Showgirl (one of her least impressive films). Laurence Olivier (Kenneth Branagh), her co-star and director, is gradually driven mad by the actress’s unpredictable, unreliable and unprofessional approach to the job at hand.

Jean Dujardin Berenice Bejo

NOTE: THESE TIMES START THURSDAY!

strikes up an unlikely friendship with the blonde bombshell and, as a sort of emotional minder, he is able to provide for her the support she needs to get through the ordeal of making a movie. The romance is not believable for one minute and evidence to support Michelle Williams’s Oscar nomination remains flimsy – with an uninspired script, she is able to do little more than parody and imitate the legend. It is an honest effort, but ‘screen presence’ is an indefinable, elusive quality – those that are granted it can write their own ticket to fame and fortune, while the rest must make do with their workaday talents. Williams’s fate here is to highlight the gap between the former and the latter. ~ John Campbell

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo I wonder whether the purists will take to the condensed, English-speaking version of Stieg Larsson’s phenomenally successful story of Lisbeth Salander. To one who has not read the books, the three Swedish films, more in keeping though they may have been with Larsson’s work, seemed unnecessarily drawn out and complex. The run-in to David Fincher’s shorter adaptation has the credits accompanied by ghastly pop video-type visuals and an inferior version of Led Zeppelin’s classic Immigrant Song – the hubris of a Guy Ritchie hung thick in the air and I sank despondent in my seat (as if Sherlock Holmes wasn’t bad enough). But David Zaillian’s screenplay is leaner and less histrionic than I’d feared, choosing to maintain a hard focus on the central mystery of whatever happened to young Harriet after she disappeared during a street parade forty years earlier. The diversionary threads relating to the activities of disgraced investigative journalist Mikael Blomkvist (Daniel Craig) and his exposés for the magazine Millennium are given a perfunctory treatment, allowing for greater tension to build around the Harriet case. Comparisons might be odious, but they are also inevitable and the big question I had was whether any actress could hold a candle to Noomi Rapace’s original take on the Lisbeth character. It didn’t seem possible, but, sensational though Rapace was, Rooney Mara is her equal in every way. Her combination with Craig is also more satisfying than Rapace’s was with Michael Nykvist – Craig is an actor with glaring limitations, but his gunmetal humourlessness and chiseled physicality are perfect for the part and he comes a lot closer to being the type that Lisbeth might jump in the sack with than avuncular, pock-marked Nykvist (that she would with either Blomkvist is not credible to me). The last segment, following the disclosure of Harriet’s fate, is concerned with tidying up the peripheral issues and is hurried through as if it were an afterthought – which by then it is, for the drama has exhausted itself. ~ John Campbell

When will this madness end? Despite all the informed and intelligent literature now available with regard to living healthily, there continue to persist the perpetrators – often informed and intelligent people themselves – of food fads and loony diets. I believe one of the latest is the Paleo Diet in which, light years after the determining circumstances, we are instructed to emulate the eating habits of cavemen. In and of themselves those dietary regimes may possess merit but what I find unacceptable and positively counterproductive is that they perpetuate the notion of bad food and good food; they apply moral attributes to an insensate object, namely food; and above all they contribute to the obsession, both dangerous and precious, with self-nourishment. Research constantly proves that people who go on diets more often than not regain any weight they may have lost within the first year – if they lost any at all; that it’s moderation the key, and exercise, and a wide variety of all types of foods. That it is an issue of such extraordinary complexity anyway, bound up in factors which extend well beyond the physical fact of consumption, so that suggesting a particular

Having got that off my chest I will concede that, yes, white foods are largely those that have been processed beyond their nutritional usefulness – refined, the fibrous outer layers stripped off, valuable vitamins and minerals shed in the process and the body’s ability at metabolising compromised. White flour, white sugar, white rice – were these not the very villains pointed at by Dr Atkins back in the seventies when he declared war on carbohydrates? Because surely this is just a dreary rerun, this White Food nonsense. Was he not denounced, and if so, what have we learnt from it all? Apparently vey little. When I recover from my friend’s comment I remember the Italian expression mangiare in bianco. Literally translated as ‘to eat white’, this little mantra you will hear frequently in Italy, and it constitutes one of the endless, endearing old wives’ tales of which Italians, no matter how educated and sophisticated, are inordinately fond. Whenever a digestive problem presents itself the stricture is to ‘mangiare in bianco’ – to eat plain boiled rice, or undressed pasta, or chicken broth – anything that is bland, unspicy, presumably gentle on the constitution. In other words Italian white food possesses this nurturing, curative function and association, its very whiteness lending it the symbolism of purity. Besides. Isn’t yoghurt white? Milk, the ‘complete food’ white? Vanilla ice cream – bearer of almost universal joy – very white?

1. Australian actor Rose Byrne discovers an old-fashioned device, called a ‘book’, in the British scifi thriller Sunshine (One HD, Saturday, 9.30pm). Apparently the sun can’t be bothered waiting around for another five million years and decides to start dying in 2057, which prompts Earth authorities to send an extremely goodlooking crew, like Rose, close to the sun to kickstart it with a large nuclear bomb – a sort of solar NRMA. It’s mostly about the psychological journey, because there’s plenty of time for angst on the way to the sun. The critics are divided on its worthiness but they like the costumes and SFX. 2. TV’s cuddly big bear Stephen Fry is the David Rabbitburrow of language in Fry’s Planet Word (ABC1, Sunday, 9.30pm), a series about the symbols and their meanings which keep the Echo drudges in lunch money. It follows the evolution of language and looks at little anomalies such as – fek! – Tourette’s syndrome. The show with local input, Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries, follows on at 10.30pm, loaded with good swing music and gorgeous frocks.

Tourism picks up, Shire celebrates Seniors Week After a difficult year that saw many tourism businesses closing, tourism on the north coast is picking up at last. Destination NSW statistics show overnight stays for the northern rivers up by 9.3 per cent last year compared to 2010. By comparison, visitors to the mid-north coast dropped by 4.6 per cent. Russell Mills of Northern Rivers Tourism told local media that proximity was the key to the far north coast’s success. ‘We’re fortunate in that we’re able to be reached within a couple of hours from Brisbane,’ he said. But he added that the appeal of Byron Bay also had something to do with it. ‘Byron is very important. It’s an iconic destination not only for the region but for NSW and Australia. It does act as a drawcard for the region.’ Byron Bay chamber of commerce (Byron United) claim their Byron Naturally campaign has also helped to supercharge the local tourism market.

The official opening will be held in collaboration with Brunswick Heads Public School on Monday March 19, from 9.30 to 11.45am, and is open to the whole community to attend. Seniors Week will see 20 different events and activities for seniors, their families and friends. It’s a program of events with something for everyone and is the perfect opportunity to come together, build on friendships, support each other and share new experiences. In Byron Shire, Seniors Week celebrations will be held from Sunday 18 to Sunday 25 March.

Everyone is encouraged es at each of the Shire’s libraries, to be involved and consider the NSW figures, domestic overnight visitors to Byron itself were up 18 per cent for the year ending September 2011 compared to the 2010 figures and domestic day visitors were up 11 per cent for the same period. Figures for the year ending June 2011 show how really dire the previous winter period was. Year ending June 2011 domestic overnight visitors were up 12 per cent, domestic overnight nights were up 39 per cent and domestic day visitors were up 43 per cent compared to the same period the previous year. ‘Byron achieved this incredible result while other tourism regions were suffering and the only significant thing in the Byron market that had changed was the introduction of the Byron Naturally campaign in May 2011,’ said Byron United president Paul Waters.

This year’s program of events has been produced with the financial support from the NSW government Department of Aged, Disability and Homecare and with input from various community groups and individuals. Byron Council says it is pleased to support this endeavour and the many activities and events on offer for our local seniors to enjoy. Visit www.byron.nsw.gov.au/ seniors-week-2012

Tallowo0d team claims pro-active environmental approach Since September 2011 a new collective of local people have immersed themselves in the management of Tallowood Ridge Estate at Mullumbimby. Since that time they say they have been ‘actively pursuing policies to both improve the future liveability of the estate and also protect and enhance the envi-

ronmental qualities of the area’. The team has finalised a Biodiversity Conservation Management Plan, which was approved by Byron Council in December 2011. ‘That plan will see over 100,000 native trees planted throughout the estate, which was degraded from 50 years of intensive cattle farming,’ says the team. ‘More recently the team has focused on ensuring that the estate happily co-exists with koalas, which in November 2011 were found to occasionally use a small patch of forest on the edge of the estate as a transit lane. Along with the oldgrowth trees on the ridge, all trees used by koalas for food will be preserved in the area where they transit, and this area will be screened with a special koala-friendly fence.’ Said management team chair Christopher Dean, ‘When we discovered this path, we immediately took the decision to modify our planning so the whole estate is more koala friendly. ‘We have brought experts in and will prepare a Koala Plan of Management before the lodgement of any DAs for future stages. This plan will define strategies to protect and enhance koala habitat.

Photo: Tallowood Ridge Estate, illustrating koala trees in the neighbourhood. ‘We will also establish a covenant ensuring that households that keep a dog have a fenced area. It’s a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the koalas’ presence and protect their lifestyle. ‘As the community’s first homes go up, the first stage of the children’s park is being built. Community gardens, landscaped walkways and sports facilities will follow. ‘The development of Tallowood Ridge is a series of gentle strokes that will form community. Our planning for

Housing affordability improves for the third time in 2011 The Real Estate Institute of Australia’s (REIA) December quarter Deposit Power Housing Affordability Report has recorded the third improvement in housing affordability in 2011 with the proportion of income required to meet loan repayments decreasing 0.7 percentage point to 32.9%.

‘Although the data shows an improvement, it is not significant and a lot more still needs to be done to improve housing affordability,’ said REIA president. The largest decline in the proportion of income required to meet loan repayments was recorded in Victoria, down 2.5 percentage points. New South Wales, South Australia, the Northern Territory and the Australian Capital Territory recorded increases in the proportion of income required MORTGAGE BROKER to meet loan repayments.

as the rises could lead to the re-emergence of non-bank and other securitised lenders into the market, looking to compete with the major banks.’ Over the December quarter, the number of loans to first home buyers increased in all states and territories. Compared to the same quarter of the previous year, Victoria was the only state or territory to record a decrease in the number of loans to first home buyers. The average loan to first home buyers decreased 1.2% over the quarter and 1.1% over the year to $282,967. All states and territories contributed to the decrease over the quarter with the exception of Tasmania where the average loan to first home buyers increased by 1.0 percent. ‘It is positive that we are seeing small increases in first home buyers returning to the market but would like to see a more significant change which will come from improved affordability and greater consumer confidence,’ concluded Ms Bennett.

)`YVU )H` Property in Focus

Large enough for two families This home is large enough for a two family residence, no extensions needed. It is twice the size of a normal house on almost twice the size of a normal block - 1012 m2. It is such amazing value, now priced to way below replacement cost. Close off half for your own use and rent the other half for a very good return or help with the mortgage. It is a dual occupancy allotment so with council approval create a completely separate dwelling. The in-ground pool and separate hot tub/spa is serviced by a relatively new pump and gas heater that has the capacity to heat both spa and pool without blowing out the power bill. Four bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 ofďŹ ces/rumpus room, 2 living areas, 3 outdoor covered courtyards, large level front and back yard that has a beautiful view over the golf course. Set in a quiet cul-de-sac just a short drive to the Ocean Shores shopping centre and beaches. This unique home is awaiting a new family, the owners have set a very realistic price for an urgent sale. Price: $490,000 Agent: Rose Wanchap, Red Rose Realty. 6680 9505, 0427 016 451

‘Why Can’t You Smoke Pot? Because Lobbyists Are Getting Rich Off of the War on Drugs’ – read Lee Fang’s article at http://bit.ly/ySsntd and marvel at how American police forces are cashing in on federal prohibition money. According to Fang, ‘police unions aren’t the only interest group with a stake in maintaining broken drug laws. The beer industry, alcohol corporations, and prison guard unions also contributed money to help Lovell stop Prop 19 [a move in California to legalise marijuana]. Howard Wooldridge, a retired police officer who now helps push for legalisation as a citizen advocate, told Republic Report that drug company lobbyists also fight to keep marijuana illegal because they view pot as a lowcost form of competition.’ Q Q Q Q

The Australian government doesn’t seem to like plants, either. Popular ethnobotanicals retailer www.iamshaman.com has stopped selling interesting plant extracts – like Calea Z,

How should gunfire operate? In bursts. What happens when rioters and police meet? They clash. If you want to get a grip on life, how should you do it? Cling. What defines a moment? The fact it is defining. In what manner should you afflict Council? Slam it. What is tantalising about options? They can be unveiled. How does a bushfire clean up an area? It sweeps through. How do government agencies behave like hawks with villains? They swoop. What is the staple diet of the headline writer? The pun.

The plasticised ocean is well illustrated in local filmmaker Andy Bambach’s short film Kill Plastic Not Wildlife, which screened at the Byron Bay filmfest. It’s a sad tale, produced for Australian Seabird Rescue (www.seabirdrescue.org/), but you can do your part in reducing the trend by avoiding plastic. The film takes only six minutes to watch and you can see it at http://bit.ly/ wP8pWb. Image from the satirical blog http://theplasticman. wordpress.com.

the dream enhancer – to Australian punters because of the Oz government’s prohibition of so many substances. Not all plants sold online are illegal, however. The Australian equivalent of I Am Shaman is Shaman Australis Botanicals http://shaman-australis.com.

The Q&A of newspaper clichés: What does rain consistently fail to dampen? Spirits.

The NSW Climatedog animation series uses humorous animations of sheep dogs to explain complex atmospheric phenomena to farmers, but we also reckon it’s a good introduction for the general punter.

This is someone’s idea of fun – at least until someone loses an eye. According to the PR vomit sent to us, because of strict gun laws in Australia, our tourists are flocking to Machine Guns Vegas, the brainchild of the aptly-named New Zealander Genghis Cohen. Popular ‘packages’ on the firing range include Mob Experience, Seal Team 6 (you know, the guys who offed Bin Laden in someone else’s sovereign state), Femme Fatale (includes a Uzi and handgun for women), and kids’ packages (includes a .22 pistol and a .22 rifle). As well as the highly dubious ethics of training people to like killing other people, consider the environmental impact of ‘150,000 rounds fired each week’. The young lass above aiming for your vitals is Jeannie Duffy, Machine Guns Vegas ‘hostess’.
