SPECIAL LIFTOUT GUIDEp29 A long wait for public housing

A new space for music and art

Luis Feliu

The new and eagerly awaited performance hall at the Cape Byron Rudolf Steiner School in Ewingsdale was officially opened last Friday, March 30. High school principal Katie Biggin said, ‘The wonderful space will cater for both primary school and high school and enable students to present performances in an environment designed to perform acoustically and technically at the highest level. With a capacity of over 200, the local community is also invited to use the new hall for events.’ Pictured are students Darci Connors and Ruby Teather, shortly before performing at the grand opening.

A schedule of NSW public housing waiting times released for the first time shows Byron Bay has the state’s average longest waiting time of 20 years – for a two-bedroom property. This compares to an average waiting time of under three months for a three-bedroom house in Cootamundra in the southwest of the state, or a studio in Moree in the far west. Northern Rivers Social Development Council (NRSDC) says it’s not suprised by the figures. NRSDC’s Trish Evans said the Northern Rivers did have a lower level of public housing stock, including community housing provided by the not-for-profit community housing sector. But Ballina MP and minister for the north coast, Don Page, told media the waiting times also reflected the fact there was much less stock in Byron compared to Ballina and Tweed Heads and that more people wanted to live in coastal areas such as Byron Bay. For Tweed Heads there were 1,022 properties (with 915 applicants and 78 people housed); in the 12 months to 30/10/11; Lismore 788 properties (331, 53); Ballina 714 (272, 57); Murwillumbah 227 (120, 16); Mullumbimby 36 (56, 1); and Brunswick Heads 48 (54, 5).

Protest set to go ahead over Lennox Head land sale Luis Feliu

The Lennox Head community is expected to come out in force this Sunday to protest Ballina Shire Council’s controversial decision last month to sell two beachfront blocks of land to the state government for $1.3 million. It was also revealed this week the land was gifted to the shire by the Country Women’s Association (CWA) in the late 1980s for a mere $1, a matter that was not raised during the recent debate. But the CWA has rejected a claim the land was gifted on condition it be

retained by the community, saying the only condition was for council to find a suitable location for a new hall for the CWA. Late last month Ballina mayor Phil Silver used his casting vote to sell the two blocks in Ross Street to the North Coast Accommodation Trust (NCAT), which runs the van park. But Cr Jeff Johnson, who tried to reverse the decision to sell, won’t let the issue rest and has organised a sit-in protest at the land at 11am on Sunday. ‘The land also should have been classified as community land, not operational, and therefore unable to be

sold,’ he said. ‘Everything about this deal stinks.’ Cr Johnson said the initial moves to sell the land were ‘camouflaged’ as no other options for the future of the land were brought back to council to consider. ‘The valuation of the two blocks is believed to have been $1.36 million so the sale price was below the valuation,’ he said. ‘The caravan park also got their own valuation which was not shown to council, yet it was agreed to flog it off to them without seeing their valuation.' Mr Paul Tsikleas, council’s com-

questions directed at Mr Hickey, told The Echo that he believed Mr Hickey had no conflict of interest in the issue. Cr Silver said Mr Hickey had advised him that he did speak to Mr Bolger in regard to the sale but only on the ‘process’ rather than ‘negotiating a sale price’. ‘Essentially the advice from the general manager was for the North Coast Perceived non-pecuniary Accommodation Trust to wait until the elected council confirmed that it conflict of interest: GM wished the sale to proceed, prior to The two had worked together pre- the trust obtaining approval for the viously with Byron Shire Council. purchase from the minister,’ he said. Mayor Phil Silver, in response to continued on page 3 mercial services manager, will now continue negotiations with the trust over the sale. Ballina Council general manager Paul Hickey declared a perceived non-pecuniary conflict of interest after The Echo revealed he had been a partner with trust administrator Jim Bolger in an investment unit, which has since been sold.

As the 23rd annual Bluesfest draws near, festival director Peter Noble is convinced that ‘this is one of the best programs we’ve had.’ ‘It’s such a deep bill of artists,’ he goes on to say, ‘I never know if I can do it again. So much comes down to people wanting to come here and play and then it all falls into place. It’s pretty amazing!’ And this year, for the first time ever, it’s an Australian act that headlines the five-day program. ‘Cold Chisel is an interesting call – over the years I’ve had people like Jack Johnson, along with the traditonal blues and roots artists.’ While Noble agrees that Chisel are neither blues nor roots, it’s undeniable that they hold an important place in Australian music history as both important live artists and songwriters. ‘They’re Aussie icons,’ says Noble. Bluesfest has become about broadening the program to suit a very broad demographic. ‘Bluesfest has a few styles,’ says Noble. ‘Alongside the blues, there is always going to be a touch of reggae music,

a bit of rock and roll, a bit of bluegrass… but we are doing a festival that’s pretty unusual these days in that it doesn’t have a target demographic.’ Noble admits his programing style is often a creative response to the style of artists that start to say ‘yes’ to this world-recognised and internationally lauded event. ‘When I get offered Lucinda Williams and John Hyatt, it starts to get a feel of its own, and then add Steve Earle…’

locals. You can drive here and go home, see and hear a festival regarded as one of the best in the world! And then during the same week at the Hotel Great Northern you’ve got 10CC. ‘I still can’t believe that the community isn’t outraged by what is being proposed.’ This is the third year Bluesfest is on their own purposemade site, at the Tyagarah Tea Tree farm. He believes that finally having a dedicated home is crucial to the event’s integ-

rity. ‘The distinction between having a sports field and a dedicated event site is that we need to put in, we don’t need a pristine field that is ready, we do need to get in there and put in roadways and pads for stages – so the public can receive the benefit. When you come to Bluesfest you can see what we’ve done. The site has certainly changed and that’s thanks to a million dollars’ worth of investment.’ For more go visit www.bluesfest.com.au.

While Noble and Byron Council are currently at ideological loggerheads regarding the Cultural Events Policy, Noble believes that music is not just unfairly targeted, but locals can tend to get laissez-faire about the cultural experiences they have on their doorstep. It’s something he believes is unprecedented for a regional area. ‘You don’t get something like this in Mollymook! And to some degree, that’s something locals can take for granted – Sacha Rose and her father – and new Federal Store owner – Simon every year maybe 20 per cent getting stuck into the pre-opening clean-up.

After two and a half years of planning, and months of artwork by the monks, the Kalachakra Stupa’s spire was installed at the Crystal Castle on Friday March 30. The World Peace Stupa is the

first of its kind in the southern hemisphere and is meant to be a good omen in times of war, conflict and natural disasters. Gyuto Monks filled each section with mantras (prayers) and auspicious Tibetan relics,

sent a copy of the transfer of the unit, which was witnessed and signed by Mr Hickey’s council secretary, only last November. ‘I again emphasise that there is no interest that I know of for the general manager to declare and unfortunately it appears that your newspaper is being used by individuals who wish

to cast dispersions [sic] on this council. I would suggest that you encourage your unnamed correspondents to focus on the merits of the sale, rather than the personalities involved.’ Cr Johnson is calling on primary industries minister Katrina Hodgkinson not to buy the land.

when two males drowned in an unpatrolled area. Shortly after 1pm, on-duty lifesavers were notified to a person in difficulty 300m down the beach. After multiple lifesavers responded, they rescued one male, but were then made aware of two others missing. A search commenced and two males were located submerged and not breathing. Paramedics were on scene shortly after and transported both patients in a critical condition to Byron District Hospital, but they were later pronounced deceased. The males, who are believed to be Indian students, were aged 26 and 28 years. Surf Life Saving duty officer Jimmy Keough said, ‘A short walk to the patrolled area would have certainly prevented this tragic loss of life.’

Mullum school child hit by car A 12-year-old was hit by a car and dragged over five-metres at Left Bank Road, Mullumbimby, on Friday. The boy’s injuries appear to be not serious. Westpac Life Saver rescue helicopter airlifted the boy, who suffered cuts and abrasions, to Tweed Heads Hospital.

Well-known local Cliff Jones is being mourned by family and friends after his sudden death last Tuesday when his ride-on mower rolled into a dam at Ocean Shores Country Club. Mr Jones was mowing at a home in Coonawarra Street adjacent to the club’s golf course when the half-tonne mower rolled into the dam, pinning him down. Police and WorkCover are still investigating the accident and the cause of death is still unclear. Workmates from the Mullumbimby Ex-Servicemen’s Club said Mr Jones had just cel-

ebrated his 66th birthday the day before the tragic accident. The barman and waiter had worked at the club for almost 42 years and was well regarded by staff and patrons alike. Mr Jones, a father and grandfather, also operated his own mowing and home maintenance business which he established after working with Byron Shire Council for 20 years. Before that, he had been an alderman with the former Mullumbimby Shire Council. Club manager Luke Barnes told The Echo Mr Jones was ‘part of the bricks, mortar and fabric of the building’. ‘He turned 66 on Monday

Art lives on in Mullum

Vale surf legend MP One of the surfing greats has passed. Michael Peterson, or MP as he was affectionately known to many, was instrumental in opening up Kirra and appeared in early surfing movies including the iconic Morning of the Earth. He died of a heart attack at his Tweed Heads home last week aged 59. A revival of another film in which Peterson appeared, In Natural Flow, took place at the Komune Beach Club, Greenmount just last month.

Police are targeting visitors to Nimbin in yet another campaign of harassment directed against marijuana users and growers. Police allege they seized $40,000 worth of drugs during the operation, which took place between 1.30pm and 9pm, despite admitting they retrieved just six dope cookies and two grams of marijuana from the two tourist buses. And out of 500 random breath tests only ten drivers were issued infringement notices.

Shai’s case with Council drags on Hans Lovejoy

the charge being renamed, he replied that he did not have the legal advice or knowledge to respond. After the adjournment, Council’s prosecutor Ralph James asked for a colleague to provide free legal advice to Mr Major. Mr James told The Echo there is no change to the charge or possible fine other than the name ‘backpackers’ being dropped. ‘The charge of ‘hostel’ remains, which is defined under the Local Environmental Plan (LEP),’ he told The Echo.

Supboenas have been handed to both the Northern Star newspaper and Byron Shire Council by the man accused of running an illegal hostel in Byron Bay last December. Shai Major, who is representing himself, faced court again last Friday but the matter was adjourned after Council’s lawyers sought more time to be provided with information requested by a subpoena. Additionally, Council have requested the court change the charge of ‘operate a backpackers hostel without development consent’ to ‘use of premises as Why subpoena Mr Major told The Echo, ‘I a hostel without development have put forward these subpoeconsent’.

Despite the camera liking Peterson’s unique style of surfing, in real life he hated the limelight and famously failed to turn up to the opening night of MOTE. As well as his many wins in the water during the 70s, MP made something of a name for himself as a local surfboard shaper, and even attributed some of his success to an usual ‘rocker’ board that he designed to give himself the edge in the water.

Vehicle ‘camping’ policy slammed by homeless David Lovejoy

Itinerant Byron Bay resident Pagan Morgan says Byron Shire Council is claiming ‘illegal powers’ and is taking the case to the Supreme Court. Ms Morgan is one of the people who sleep in their cars because of the expense and scarcity of rental accommo-

dation. She says she does not break any law, infringe parking regulations or cause any mess or inconvenience. At the council meeting of March 22 it was resolved to erect more signage to warn motorists, ‘Sleeping in vehicles at any time prohibited – fines apply’. Ms Morgan told The Echo, ‘Fortunately for citizens and

visitors, Australian law is not Byron Shire-centric, and justice only accepts the dictionary definition of “camping” – not an inaccurate definition created by a council public servant.’ According to Ms Morgan, Council has redefined ‘camping’ to include sleeping in vehicles. She says that Council does not have this authority; the signage is effectively an indictable offence because it attempts to intimidate a person into abstaining from doing

that which the person has a legal right to do. Ms Morgan says she has been repeatedly harassed by police and Council rangers ‘wrongly’ telling her that sleeping in a vehicle is illegal, even before the ‘stricter’ policy was announced last week.

Supreme Court case Morgan says that as a result of Council’s ‘illegal’ actions, she feels obliged to travel to Sydney in order to file legal proceedings in the Supreme Court.

‘I represent and do all the legal paperwork myself – so there will be no cost to the ratepayers from my side when the Council loses,’ Ms Morgan said.

Grey Nurse with severe fishing wounds may need euthanasia A critically endangered grey nurse shark may have to be euthanased after it was discovered to be suffering from embedded fishing hooks and a rope at Julian Rocks. Shark advocate and diver Madi Stewart told The Echo she swam beside the female on a dive three days ago. ‘Her jaw is severely injured and dislocated and the rope around her tail has cut into her skin. If it has been pulled by this rope then she will most likely suffer from spinal injuries and eventually starve to death.’ Ms Stewart says the east coast population has been critically endangered since the 70s when they were hunted to near extinction, ‘as a result of fear

from their mere looks.’ The species, however, is well known not to be a threat to man. She lays blame at the state government’s ‘complete negli-

gence of species management.’ ‘It is the government departments who have all the science and the submissions in favour of the sharks, yet are allowing

critical habitat zones on our east coast to be open to fishing. ‘Recreational fishing is not a livelihood… [the fisherman] should want to protect sharks as sharks impact on the food chain. Frequent pictures of hooked grey nurse are showing up at fish rock caves all the time. Each day we delay for strong protection measures presents an unacceptable risk for another grey.’ Ms Stewart is calling on the government to fully protect all five critical habitats found in Queensland waters as ‘notake’ marine sanctuaries with a 1.5km radius. ‘To do this we need to write to the government and apply the kind of pressure they cannot ignore.’

Olive celebrates twenty-one again Story & photo Eve Jeffery

At ninety-seven, Mullumbimby resident Olive Spedding is celebrating another twentyfirst milestone as she welcomes great-great-granddaughter Harper to the world. And she’s still sharp as a tack. Olive, who had her own first child when she was twentyone, is now the matriarch of a huge clan. ‘I have four children’, says Olive. ‘I have 19 grandchildren, 39 great-grandchildren and now I have 21 great-greatgrandchildren.’ She is at a loss to remember everyone’s name and can manage all the grandkids but not all the great grandkids. ‘These days there is also so many unu-

sual names, I can’t remember them all.’ Olive has seen a lot of change in the area in the 90 years since she moved here from Bexhill.

She was educated in a small school in Middle Pocket. ‘It was in a little old house. The government said if we could get someone to board a teacher they

Council’s draft safety policy excludes CCTV CCTV has been removed from Council’s draft plan aimed at reducing assault (non-domestic violence) and theft, much to the disappointment of the Byron chamber of commerce. The draft plan, however, includes strategies to target ‘priority community concerns’, mayor Jan Barham says, and was in consultation with the Police, RTA and community stakeholders. ‘For example, the plan features a Safer Streets program which aims to address alcoholrelated assault through im-

proved environmental design, a designated driver campaign, Party Smart kits for visitors, and safety seminars,’ she said. In preparing the plan, police safety audits of Ocean Shores, Brunswick Heads and the Byron Bay town centre were reviewed along with research from the Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research (BOCSAR).

No CCTV funding Cr Barham said while Council recognises that the business community and police would like CCTV in the Byron Bay

town centre, Council does not have the funding to install or the ‘ongoing staff resources to monitor the footage’. She said if funding could be sourced from other avenues for the upfront costs and ongoing monitoring, maintenance and technical upgrades, Council would then consider CCTV. The chamber of commerce (Byron United) president, Paul Waters said, ‘We are working with the community and senior police to work towards putting this important public safety issue back on the Council agenda.’

would open a little school, so mum boarded the teacher. I finished school when I was fourteen then helped my dad on the dairy farm. It was a good life.’ Great-great-grandbaby Harper is the daughter of Belinda, both pictured. Belinda’s mother is Judy, Olive’s grandchild from her firstborn, Dot. Olive says things have changed a lot in her time on the planet and things are a lot more complicated now than they were when she was a child. ‘I reckon I lived in the right generation. It was entirely different. We slept on the verandah or made a cubby out in the tree and we camped up in it overnight. ‘We had no fear.’

NBN still years away Not one town north of Grafton is in line to be connected to the National Broadband Network (NBN) within the next three years, according to a list issued last week by broadband minister Stephen Conroy. The exception has been a few new land developments, such as Mullumbimby’s Tallowood Ridge. The NBN was key to getting independent MP Rob Oakeshott to support the government after the last election, so it is little surprise that Taree and Cundletown in his electorate will be among the first to benefit.

said, ‘We wanted to bear silent witness to the atrocities committed against the Palestinian people, in a peaceful, non-aggressive way and we succeeded in this.’ Another organiser, Harsha Prabhu, said, ‘I was astonished to note that only one individual came up to us and engaged us in a conversation about the issue.’

Draft proposals by the state government to give greater planning powers to local councils have been welcomed by Byron Council’s planning chief. Planning minister Brad Hazzard announced last week that under the draft changes, local councils will be allowed to approve amending and sitespecific Local Environmental Plans (LEPs) including ‘spot’ rezonings. Developers also will have the right to seek an independent review by a Joint Regional Planning Panel if a council refuses their bid for a draft LEP or fails to make a decision on it. And both councils and developers can request independent reviews of state government decisions on whether a

tive manager of planning Ray Darney said council was ‘often in the best position to make sustainable planning decisions on behalf of the Byron community, given its closeness to local residents’. ‘So giving Council the final say on various changes to a Local Environmental Plan (LEP) is a step we would support,’ Mr Darney said. Council has final say But he said allowing a coun‘LEPs are the cornerstone cil decision to be reviewed of the state’s planning system when it opted not to proceed – typically outlining land-use zoning, subdivision sizes and controls on floor space and Repairs works on Burringbar heights,’ Mr Hazzard said. ‘However, many steps in the Street, Mullumbimby, will ocLEP-making system are slow, cur from Monday April 16 unwrapped in red tape and there’s til Tuesday.

There’s still a buck to be made from the weather before the apocalypse (http://ameg.me) overwhelms us all.

The good thing about farming carbons is you can put them on any pasture, they don’t need drenching and

they’re not susceptible to dingo attack. According to the parliamentary secretary for climate change and energy efficiency Mark Dreyfus, several methodologies have already been approved under the CFI, including reducing methane in piggeries, flaring landfill gas, planting native tree species and reducing pollution from savannah fires. Most of it sounds like dickering around the edges to me but it’s better to encourage farmers with carrots rather then sticks If it gets re-elected, the Gillard government intends to invest $1.7 billion of carbon price revenue to support the CFI and other programs to improve productivity, sustainability and profitability. The farmers who support Tony Abbott’s plans to scrap the carbon tax presumably look forward to the reintroduction of the feudal system, 15th century methods of muckage and tillage, and the bulk harvesting of dust.

While Speedomeister Abbott (http://speedo.com.au) and poetess Gina Rinehart (http:// prestoninstitute.wordpress. com/2012/02/12/ginarinehartpoem) are likely lost causes on the issue of climate change, the rest of us can indulge in education – you know, the thing with the reading and learning and all. There’s even a group dedicated to it – the Australian Education for Sustainability Alliance (www.educationforsustainability.org.au). On Tuesday March 20 the AESA launched itself in Parliament House, Canberra, and released its first report, The State of Education for Sustainability in Australia. ‘We have brought together a diverse alliance of teacher, parent and environment organisations to demonstrate the need for political leadership on education for sustainability,’ says AESA. ‘Our vision is to build a sustainable Australia by ensuring all Australians have access to sustainability education through school, tertiary education and professional development.’ The group was also lobbying pollies to reinstate the Australian Sustainable Schools Initiative (AuSSI), which since 2003 provided education to 3,200 schools, ‘giving students hands-on experience in sustainability by reducing school waste, water use, energy and increasing biodiversity’. And for those who want more education to help counter climate change denial, there are good primers at www.climateinstitute.org.au/mythbusters.

Street camping plan is heavy-handed The problem with Byron Council’s plan to ‘ban’ street camping is the punitive, heavyhanded approach does little to resolve the very complex and growing problem of housing/ accommodation affordability/ availability, nor does it provide equity, fairness or social justice for those entrapped in Byron’s dilemma. Even if Council is successful in removing campers from specified locations, street campers will simply move to other areas. Both Brunswick Heads and Mullumbimby already experience the influx of homeless/ transient people during peak holiday periods, when patrolling intensifies in Byron. It would be far more useful and cost effective for Council

to provide accessible, convenient ‘overnight rest areas’ for van parking around the Shire, instead of unleashing a campaign of harassment – targeting reactive young travellers in ‘wicked’ vans. Council is well aware people are legally permitted ‘use of vehicles’ for sleeping along roadways. A BSC report states, ‘The proposed definition of “camping” and any enforcement flowing from it does not affect those persons who may sleep in their vehicles due to homelessness… (or) those persons who sleep in their vehicles to overcome the effects of illness, tiredness and/or intoxication.’ Council is entering a legal minefield in seeking to prohibit or regulate ‘the activity of camping’ along roadways.

We’re told the Rangers Standard Operating Procedures lays out effective guidelines in a confidential (unseen and unchallenged) memorandum on street camping. This will enable Council rangers to ‘differentiate the act of sleeping in a motor vehicle from the activity of camping in a motor vehicle’ – and how to distinguish a homeless person from a holiday camper! In reality we all know enforcing compliance will empower rangers and police to disrupt and intrude on people’s lifestyle choices in a very negative and detrimental way. The ‘No Camping’ signs already in place include a whole range of ‘additional’ harmless activities that now require ‘permission’, significantly ex-

As for Mac, I have sympathy for him in his very meritorious battle with Splendour but please don’t use our community as the sacrificial lamb in the one-events-site push.

panding enforcement powers, so anyone doing ‘any thing’ – including singing or playing a musical instrument – can be hassled on the whim of a ranger. At street level it’s personal! A weekend in Byron could turn into a string of convictions for our more volatile visitors. It is unfair and possibly illegal to single out ‘street campers’ for persecution when there are so few options for low-budget travellers in Byron Shire. Creating a network of overnight ‘rest areas’ around the Shire, similar to RTA roadside stopovers (same rules apply), would be far more helpful and humane.

We live in Scott Street, Byron Bay, and have received a letter from Council saying that an external subcontractor ‘estimated’ meter readings over the 2011 period. Council presented us with a water bill of over 178% increase to the amount of $1,274.40. Is there anyone else this has happened to? Our meter is in clear sight on the property and all bills received last year were paid on time in good faith without any knowledge on our part that they were not correct.

If we had received a high water bill, steps would have been definitely undertaken to decrease our water use. Did the subcontractor possibly overestimate any properties? Council would then have to pay back to ratepayers. It doesn’t feel right that Council expects us to backpay when it’s their mistake and Hugh Ermacora should hold the subcontractor Byron Bay responsible. Who is right? Who pays?

Put the brakes on the mini-bypass The ‘mini’ bypass: I have to call Council’s bluff on this one as it is the only way to make sense of such nonsense. Public meetings have been held, the serious concerns about, even impossibility of, this scheme has been expressed by many in the community. Apparently a project reference group, a PRG, has been formed without any notice or inclusion of the most seriously affected residents and businesses along the proposed route. No, the ‘mini’ bypass is a fantasy and it must remain so but if it gets the very serious matter of a proper traffic management solution for Byron Bay on the agenda at state and federal levels then it has its purpose. Every seriously affected tourist destination, city or town around the world is trying to reduce vehicular circulation in the town centre; to create a secondary entry that dumps traffic right in the centre of town is ridiculous. Byron Bay has the enviable circumstance of being a pedestrian- and cycle-friendly township and should be more so. To build a large roundabout at the Marvell/Jonson St intersection and main road through a busy pedestrian precinct around

and across the railway land will destroy this amenity. Byron Bay is desperate for vehicle parking; the proposed route of the ‘mini’ bypass will decimate Byron’s largest free parking zone – The Rails carpark – close the backpacker mini-van pick-up and the bus station. Businesses will be so impacted upon that they would be forced to close, not to mention the impact on Byron’s principal heritage area, the Railway Cottage and Tourist Information Centre which may have to be relocated entirely. Butler Street is a very busy pedestrian and vehicle precinct on market days, any bypass along this route should naturally be avoided. One wonders where this green council is at. Do they fully understand the ramifications of this idea or are they just playing politics? Richard Staples came up with the original ‘mini’ bypass suggestion but Richard, it doesn’t pass scrutiny and will be so destructive.

Contrary to the editor’s take, the councillors didn’t ‘drop’ a complaint against Jan Barham at all; they merely accepted the findings of an independent reviewer that the complaint could not be supported. They also agreed that Jan’s legal costs should be reimbursed, a total ratepayer outlay admitted to approach $30,000 – not counting staff time, phone bills etc. What makes me angry with Cr Cameron was that whenever there is an issue where the staff have a strong interest in the outcome, our Basil can be

Cr Cameron sucks up to the staff for one identifiable reason only: he imagines that word will get out among the conservatives that he’s ‘OK’ and that he’ll get votes from that side. This is extremely naive. The local conservatives are determinedly tribal, partly as a result of Ross Tucker’s divisive Saturday Star. No matter what Cr Cameron supports that the conservatives agree with, his efforts will not glean him a single extra vote. As for Patrick ‘Smiley’ Mor-

risey, I have to report that he voted to support Jan’s costs in relation to the complaint that she beat, but not in relation to two others that Graeme Faulkner withdrew before they could be determined. In other words according to Patrick it would be fine for staff to initiate complaints of whatever merit against a councillor, incur lots of legal expenses in the process, and then ultimately withdraw the complaint without giving reasons, leaving the councillor in the lurch as to expenses incurred up that date. There isn’t a court in the land that would support such a proposition. Fast Buck$

A wealth of skills for mental health

GIFT VOUCHERS AVAILABLE

Story & photo Eve Jeffery

Two-thirds of patients who go to see their GP exhibit emotional distress. Not all of these are serious enough to be diagnosable, but all symptoms cause some suffering. Ninety per cent of people with mental health problems are managed entirely by their GP. Alan Hainsworth is a specialist mental health nurse who plies his trade in Byron Bay. He says that it is possible to treat some mental health issues outside the ‘medical model’ – the set of procedures in which all doctors are trained. ‘Life is about loss,’ says Alan. ‘It’s about conflict and dealing with bureaucracy or a lot of change in your life. It can be really, really stressful. All these things are now being taken to GPs by patients and GPs are saying “Oh, I think you’re depressed”, and because they have been talking to the drug reps who say “Oh yes, this is depression”, they recommend these drugs because of research that has been done, but often this research is completely flawed.

Drugs galore ‘The [drug] reps are not giving the negative view of the drug, they only promote the positives – what they want you to hear. It’s really quite corrupted and people without a depressive illness are being given antidepressants in the millions. It’s huge’. Now based at the Holdsworth House medical practice, Alan originally comes from Liverpool. Some years ago he spotted an ad in the paper for a job in downtown Sydney working in the St Vincent’s Crisis Team and from there he moved north and has been living and working in Byron Bay for the last year. Alan says he feels that the graffiti attack on the wall behind Target in Ocean Shores. I said, ‘I guess the local teenagers get bored when the surf is down.’ He replied that the security camera showed that one of the kids wasn’t even a teenager, and was only ten years old. I made the usual oldies’ comment about the lack of parental guidance these days. ‘Ha!’ he snorted. ‘I heard of a couple who actually takes their kid out to show him the ropes.’ I guess the family that sprays together, stays together.

prescription of drugs is often an over-medicalisation of what is a normal social problem that you might get over naturally. ‘Giving someone with depression a chemical is not always the best way of treating it. Especially as these drugs have side effects. Some of the side effects of the antidepressants can give you a bigger problem than your depression. ‘There is one drug that we give that massively increases your appetite. So we are giving you a new problem that is going to create some serious depression for you in the future because you’re going to stop exercising, you’re going to be self-conscious, the quality of your life is going to be adversely affected.

Prescription ‘help’ ‘It’s very easy for doctors who are pressured to go to their prescription pad, thinking it is going to please the patient because they are going to go away thinking they got some help. ‘It makes the doctor feel

good because prescribing drugs is what they are supposed to do and they are pressured by time because there are ten other people waiting in the next hour, so they don’t want to get too deeply involved with this patient. Many feel that in prescribing a drug they have treated the patient with something that they feel is going to help them.’ Alan is by no means saying that drugs should never be prescribed and he says that often a GP is the best person – they will know a patient really well because of history of contact – but sometimes a patient would benefit from being referred to an expert in the field of psychiatry.

Outside the system ‘Many GPs do feel they can manage their patient’s depression on their own because it is not such a severe mental illness unless it’s very profound or there is a psychotic dimension to it. It’s usually only when the patient is really challenging to the doctor that they refer them and then in the same breath contradicting that statement by what they articulate as history (Les Einhorn, Letters, March 27.) The 3,000 years of constant and unbroken relationship with the land called Israel was actually quite broken, several times. The diaspora is commonly accepted to have begun with the 6th century BCE conquest of the ancient Kingdom

on to a psychiatrist but there are many GPs who are happy to refer a patient on’. Alan has horror stories of the mistreatment of patients in the mainstream. He has removed himself from that world and finds his work in the Bay very interesting. ‘I can’t think of a more fascinating place to do this job. I have such an interesting range of patients – from teenagers in turmoil struggling with addictions to psychotic patients in suicidal crisis. Many patients are simply profoundly lonely and isolated, displaced from family and friends far away. Unlike previous jobs in the mental health system, where I often felt like an agent of social control, this role allows me to use lots of skills, particularly counselling, crisis intervention, case management, empathy, humour, advocacy, empathy and even ukulele therapy. ‘I hope my style is an empowering one which contributes to people being able to fully participate in community life despite their mental health issues.’ of Judah, destruction of the First Temple (c 586 BCE), and expulsion of the population, which is recorded in the Bible.

second centuries CE, at which time Jews were exiled from Judea and dispersed amongst the various neighbouring states and other states well away from Judea, which accounts for the various Jewish communities in many lands outside of Judea. These are historical facts, not my opinion. Even Jewish scholars recognise those facts. But for popular current propaganda purposes the politicians in Israel now do not. What is meant by ‘shared values’ in Les Einhorn’s letter is pretty vague in these days when Gazans are being killed by the Israelis’ war machine with impunity and no respect for civilian human rights on both sides. But such is use of force of arms, I guess. If you want a clearer picture of the reality behind the

machinations of the restoration of Israel between the two world wars read a few of Edwin Black’s books, starting with The Transfer Agreement. Who knows, you might even learn something. M Mizzi

Champagne lives under threat from our ‘grenades’ Story & photo Mary Gardner

I came closer to view the orchid but then saw the two crane flies. Given the small beauty of the location and colours, I’m at a loss in choosing the best verb. Copulating? Mating? Lovemaking? Their large eyes take in many hues as we do, plus ultraviolet ones. They do not bite or sting. They only sip water. Their long delicate legs seem at odds with their heavy bodies and quickly become crippled. They only live for ten to twelve days. Such short champagne lives. Why would we want to kill them? Crane flies, like so many insects, are often misunderstood and poisoned. They are not ‘daddy long legs’, ‘mosquito eaters’ or giant mosquitoes. As juveniles, they live as grubs under grass roots. They are blamed for damaging lawns and sports or golf greens. Typically, we bomb them and take out, as collateral damage, many of their relatives. Our weapons, first used against ourselves, are pesticides. Something as potent as pesticides may be important when we have deeply serious problems. Still, we can’t use poisons without paying a price. So often in everyday situations, we react as if we are threatened with great personal harm. We

see ‘bugs’ as the only ‘cause’ of some life threatening ‘effect’. What we actually do is set off grenades in systems which include other organisms, including ourselves. We mess with evolution itself. We ignore feedback cycles until our combat actions backfire. But there is a peace movement: sustainablility science. Up-to-date horticulturists now insist on waiting. If there is a concern, they sample lawns and count grubs. They wait on weather, other predators and the luck of the lifecycle itself.

Even ‘safer’ pesticides such as pyrethroids kill a wide range of beneficial animal bystanders. Imagining small doses are harmless, we use these at home. They ask us to consider what scale of damage is a genuine problem. When they advise action, they may still avoid pesticides. For example, if a population of lawn army worms seems like trouble, they may recommend a spray application

of nematodes. These smaller worms eat them. That’s all. By contrast, even ‘safer’ pesticides such as pyrethroids kill a wide range of beneficial animal bystanders. Imagining small doses are harmless, we use these at home. Now we see sublethal

effects across human generations. In 2011, researchers at Columbia University reported an association between these poisons in indoor air urban mothers breathed and delayed mental development of their children at age three. The level of impact on the children compares with exposure to lead. Other long-term studies into sublethal effects are finding similar worries with our other weapon of mass destruction, herbicides. Glyphosate, found in Roundup, is easily purchased but the truth about its impacts is hard won. Since 2011, Don Huber of Purdue University addressed the governments of the US and EU about his life’s work in plant disease. He says that using glyphosate hinders a plant’s absorption of micro-minerals. This makes it prone to disease

and less nutritious overall. The soil’s microbiological communities are destabilised. In March 2012, Laura Vanderberg and her team finished a major review of research about endocrine disrupters like glysophate. They found that effects at high doses don’t predict the very different effects at low doses. This overturns the logic used for years to approve these poisons in the war against nature. These reports come on top of other socio-ecologic worries. Increasing use of genetically modified crops commits farmers to using more glyphosate. Already China has banned GM rice. Hungary burned all their GM maize crops. Should we reconsider plans for those fields of amber grains featuring Australian GM wheat? After all, like the old song says, we can ‘make love, not war’.

ANXIETY, INSOMNIA OR DEPRESSION? If you suffer from anxiety, insomnia or depression you are not alone; many people struggle with these issues. Natural medicine can help by balancing underlying causes such as hormone levels, nutrient deďŹ ciencies, thyroid function, heavy metals and blood-sugar metabolism. If any of these are out of balance they will affect your energy, your mood, your nervous system and your equilibrium. Your body needs the right nutrients to support production of serotonin to improve your mood, and to produce melatonin in the evening to rebalance your sleep-wake cycle. And herbs to calm the nervous system which is overstimulated by excess adrenalin. Herbs, supplements and nutrition can help balance these hormones and other underlying causes. As a herbalist, working with counsellors or psychologists, my role is to look at the whole person and to support you to feel calmer, more balanced, to sleep better and improve your natural energy. If you would like to ďŹ nd out more, call Lynette now on 0432 533 686 to make an appointment.

Are you over 40 and concerned about your menopause symptoms? Hot ushes, night sweats and a myriad of other symptoms can arise – indicating internal imbalances and a decline in physical, mental and emotional health. During menopause it is essential to balance your hormones; without doing this, new symptoms will keep surfacing after each one is dealt with. This means that if, for example, you suffer from hot ushes and you treat only this you will feel some relief but then another symptom will arise. This will continue throughout the course of menopause potentially making it a difficult and emotional time for you (and your family). Why suffer discomfort and disruption to your life when you can reduce your symptoms and ease your way through menopause using speciďŹ c techniques, herbs and diet from the great healing traditions of Ayurveda and Yoga! Raman Das Mahatyagi, one of Australia’s leading Ayurvedic practitioners with more than 20 years’ experience, is giving an informative and practical seminar on Friday 11 May to educate women how they can heal and bloom during this phase of their lives.

AFTER A STINT OF SOLO SHOWS THIS YEAR WITH HIS TIN SHED TOUR, JOHN BUTLER HEADLINES BLUESFEST WITH HIS LEGENDARY AND MUCH-LOVED JOHN BUTLER TRIO. How important do you think it is to stay creative to keep in touch with your inner voice? There are a few inner voices so it depends on which one you are talking about. There’s an inner voice that is actually stinking out the whole room at the moment that’s not a nice inner voice. There is another inner voice – it says ’I’m a piece of shit’. I try not to listen to that one either. But the one I think you may be hinting at, yeah, I think it’s always good to keep in touch with it. I think following your gut and intuition is a very important aspect of living a fulfilled life. How do you nourish yourself as a creative person? I do the things I love, a lot, and sometimes that’s actually just having a nice meal with somebody and other times it’s an obvious thing like playing guitar or painting. I think being creative is a function that human beings were designed for and you can be creative in every minute. What are the things beside songwriting that you also enjoy or find inspirational? Painting, hanging out and camping with my family, skateboarding and hanging out with my friends. Do you also get inspiration in the grind? The boring everyday stuff? I was with my 3-year-old at the doctor’s and she lost it after an hour and declared ’Waiting is so hard’. I thought it was very profound – what are similar situations that have opened doors for you? I spend most of my time constantly travelling trying to get to a show which only goes for 2/24ths of a day. So I spend most of that mundane time trying to stay creative. I also run, which is a great way to see a town or city. How important is story to your songwriting? It’s becoming more and more important as I look for more and more things to write about, and there is nothing like a good story. What are the stories that have touched you‌ including films or books of recent times? Jandamarra – a story of an Aboriginal freedom fighter. Anastasia – which a friend has recommended to me and I have just

started to read. My daughter really wanted me to read the Harry Potter series, so I’m halfway through that. What is it about performing live shows that most excites you? The exchange; I like making something happen with the audience. Being part of that special moment, something that gives you the chills. What’s it like sharing the stage with your partner? She cleverly established herself as an entity separate to you‌ and did so with gusto‌ you better watch out Butler, you could be known as Mama Kin’s husband! Is it tricky managing two musical careers and a young family? It’s great sharing the stage with my partner; I love it, I am her biggest fan. It’s so good to see her blossoming into the artist I always knew she was. I think it’s tricky balancing any life with a partner, let alone both of us

being touring musicians, but we’re tighter than ever before. What are the compromises that you need to make to keep the ball rolling? Life is full of compromises and the balls roll with or without you anyway. It’s all about balance and that is the hardest thing to do, but no life, no ball, no rolling. What should we expect for your Bluesfest show? Scantily clad women, hanging from the rafters with rare marsupials that have mohawks – as far as the band’s concerned, we’ll be the ones underneath making the music. John Butler Trio headline the Mojo Tent on Sunday. For more program and ticket information go to www. bluesfest.com.au.

As a DJ, Marigliano has played alongside industry favourites including DJ Mehdi, Ratatat, Simian Mobile Disco, and Le Tigre.

HT LIG ING R STA LLBE O WE EXP

Kean for fulfilling Relationships KEAN BUCKLEY SPECIALISES IN RELATIONSHIPS, SHARING PRACTICES THAT WORK IN ALL AREAS OF YOUR LIFE. HE WAS A BRANCH MANAGER AND COOWNER OF TWO OF AUSTRALIA’S MOST SUCCESSFUL FINANCIAL PLANNING COMPANIES, BEFORE HAVING AN AWAKENING AT AGE 34. HE SOLD HIS BUSINESS AND TOOK OFF TO THAILAND TO FIND HIMSELF DEVELOPING HIS OWN TEACHINGS OVER TIME.

Do you think people really get what it means to ‘be themselves’? Yes and No. It’s getting better – people used to have a real problem with our Be Yourself stand at the expos five and more years ago. To be honest people are generally unaware of their potential and in reality the vast majority can only be or point to their fuller consciousness in great moments like birth, death etc. I note that you had an ‘awakening’ at 34. I call them defining moments – when a window opens and if you don’t get out you’re trapped until the next one appears – if ever. What made you heed the call ‘GET OUT’ when you were in the middle of a successful financial career? Intuition and a deep knowing that fortunately I recognised was telling me to make a very big but necessary decision. I still live with the ramifications of this decision. Probably always will. What do you think happens to us if we ignore these feelings or intuitions? We live a living death in various miserable forms. Gee, I sound exciting! What are the major challenges you see people present in relationships? The biggest one I am learning myself is getting clear on conscious sustainable heartfelt intimacy with my wife (which I am achieving). This particularly relates to sex and full conscious connection. The other major problem is blame, no matter how sophisticated it is, and people that have not evolved ‘with their parents’, but in spite of them. What are the qualities people need to achieve loving fulfilling relationships? Commitment, responsibility and integrity. People often talk about wanting to find an ‘equal’. But do you think they are ever really prepared for what that means? The term equal has already told us much about the

inequality of the person seeking an equal. Start with imbalance, find imbalance, and therefore a relationship with what you expected in the first place. Anyone that doesn’t recognise their judgment is in for a rocky road; anyone that loves is prepared. Do we expect too much, or too little from our relationships? Both! At times we are more ego than being so we project our insecurities on others and expectation is one of the modes of delivery. ‘That’s okay, you do what you want,’ (ie you can treat me poorly), or ‘You better not let me down,’ (ie I am looking to treat you poorly before you do). Expectations do not generally mirror nature and may create problems. What should people be doing to enrich their relationships – on a daily or weekly basis? Less talk, more touch. More time in nature. More noticing love, connection, flow, and the real abundance of being. I have often thought that we are the ‘avoidant’ generation, meaning everyone wants to shirk responsibility for things like the environment etc. I have always believed that true change can only occur when you accept you are part of the problem… am I being too negative? No. Consciousness isn’t part of the problem, unconscious people are. Consciousness is able to see and solve if ‘seen’. As more of us see, feel and know, what is truly unknown to many (like those who need to have a heart attack, cancer, or a disaster before they act) more people will care. Stealth by numbers! As a woman I often find myself falling in the tradition of the women who came before me falling into the ‘martyr’ role. The men tend to want to fix stuff beyond their control. It’s amazing how you can know this about yourself and still do it, the patterns are deep. Are we ever free of these default settings?

GETTING HIS KIT ON

MORE THAN OH KAYE

Kit Bray is a fresh young musician from Byron Bay. With the recent formation of a new four-piece band he’s been earning his stripes at shows with a smooth dynamic indie soul sound. Since the January release of the debut EP The Time He Waits and a national tour in the offing, the future looks bright for this boy. He will be playing at the Buddha Bar this Saturday at 8pm with his band. Opening acts Danny Ross and Wandering Eyes. Free entry. Also solo at St Elmo’s Sunday at 3pm for a cruisy acoustic Sunday session and Tuesday at the Owl & Pussycat.

Part of the Australian blues and roots scene, Nathan Kaye is the globetrotting one-man-band who thumps out his songs on slide guitar, slide-didge and electronic footdrums at festivals and at bars. Many of his songs deal with subjects such as setting aside time from the hustle ’n’ bustle of modern life to children being locked in detention

EASTER BILBYNUDGEL – SNOOZED AND RE-BOOTED Billinudgel Hotel presents an Easter Sunday music feast of biblical proportions that, the Lord and weather permitting, might even inspire an epiphany or three. After rocking The Aussie in Ballina on Easter Thursday (8pm), local pub rock sensation Shybaby’s sexy and supercharged show will have the faithful worked up and ready for true gods of music Blues Plantation. With a pedigree that includes Canned Heat, The Feramones, The Radiators, Tokyo Joe and Bourbon Street, these boys may well raise hell with a rockin’ blues show delivered with ‘raw authenticity’. Favoured ‘son of Nudgel’ Jason Matheson completes the trinity with his band of rock apostles Shake Appeal. Billinudgel Hotel, Easter Sunday, from 12pm.

Or is there actually a man out there who can fix the unfixable? I’d love to say yes! But I think you know the answer. There really is nothing to fix, and yet deeply unconscious relationship may be with us forever. The key is noticing it and perhaps having a good old chuckle. In this freedom where did the problem go? Humour I have found is the easiest way to notice reality. Where I see myself and others playing within a wonderful play, from which we can awaken the scriptwriter at anytime. What is your key message? Be yourself. What are your struggles? How important is it for the teacher to continue on the path, rather than to have arrived? (I only ever trust people with something a bit wrong with them!) I sit on my white silk cushion struggle free everyday! Sure I have plenty of poo, pus and wind to notice still. Isn’t that part of this wonderful life? Yes I am still learning how to love, even when it’s tough. I have a very powerful wife, four parents to absorb, and four daughters (two blood and two step) to name a few of my loved ones. What will you be teaching in your workshop at Starlight Festival? I work completely intuitively so I don’t know what will happen. My intention is to share only what helps and to show where the physical and metaphysical are related. I will attempt to make the sharing light, fun, different, and deeply supportive. There will be time for Q&A and I will share my new ‘7 Generations’, a process that continually is reported as life affirming and an obvious key to real evolution. Kean presents his workshop/talk ‘How to Have Fantastic Relationships’ at 1–3pm on Friday at the Starlight Wellbeing Expo at the Bangalow A&I Hall. $10/15 admission for whole day including workshops.

DIRTY MUSIC Tune in for The Dirty Channel this Friday night at the Brunswick Hotel as they do their own renditions of many popular tunes and some originals. Adam Brown, singer/guitarist, brings a unique sound to the music playing his 1937 Dobro that was found floating in the bilge of a fishing trawler in 1970 and that has a sound to be heard. Also on vocals with an amazing fiveoctave range is monster bass player Luke Fergo Ferguson. The Dirty channel can also be caught Saturday night at Mary G’s in Lismore and Tyalgum Pub Sunday.

WOULD YOU TAKE THE MONEY? What would you do if you went to your bank and discovered that you had an extra $2 million bucks? That scenario recently faced a Queensland woman, a typical Aussie battler who was expecting a $2000 payment from Centrelink, but someone there clearly must have nodded off on the zero button. Somehow her $2000 payment was transmuted into $2,000,000. I can’t imagine what she would have done when she saw all those zeros on her balance. And how do you withdraw that much money without looking really conspicuous? You’d be on an eftpos rampage. All night eBay. It’s the stuff fantasies are made of. Especially for poor people. It’s the capitalist dream that even the lowest of the low can still aspire to become middle class through hard work or good fortune. We suck up the whole fantasy that if we put $2 in a pokie we could be saved, or $1 on a scratchie, or our savings into super! How many times have you played that mental game ’What I would do with a million bucks?’ In your head you pay off the mortgage, and then you buy a new car, and then you go on a holiday and then you go shopping, and then buy the kids something nice, and then give money to a homeless guy, or set up a shelter, or start a business, or buy new tits… it’s always a hypothetical spendfest. I always end up having arguments with my husband because I want to spend it all and he wants to invest it. Then we’re not talking. Then we realise that it’s not real, we don’t have a million bucks, and we’re happy again. For the Queensland mum it wasn’t another round of hypothetical, it was real. And she did what any downtrodden, bullied, disenfranchised, browbeaten struggle-bunny would do: She spent it. Ironically the mistake of the agency becomes a civil offence. She has to pay for someone else’s mistake. If I drop my wallet and I lose my cash, I have no recourse in getting my money back. Ever had a stolen wallet handed in empty? Try asking the person who returns it to replace the cash. The two million

dollar woman was supposed to go in and fess up that there had been an overpayment. Hang on buddy, this is free-market capitalism, it’s every ant for themselves! She has been charged with fraud, will probably go to jail and is expected to repay the money. I think that’s cruel. It’s like handing a person with cancer a cure and then going ’sorry, not for you, you’ll have to give it back’. Or going to an Ethiopian village with a big bowl of butter chicken and rice, offering it to a starving family and then going ’sorry mate, wrong hut. You’re going to have to give that back.’ Or going up to Lindsay Lohan and offering her a film role and then taking it away. ’Sorry Lindsay, my mistake.’ It’s Centrelink’s own version of Powerball, except the miserable jerks make you pay it back. In fact I think they should make Centrelink payments more random – have a few prizes, might lift the morale. Being overpaid by a government agency just doesn’t have the same moral impediments of finding cash in an envelope, or a bag on a train. There’s no sense that someone is suffering because of your serendipitous windfall. No-one’s going without their lunch. No kids are without Christmas presents. Just some data processor is going to get a pretty shit performance review. In fact if I were that woman I’d consider getting myself a very good lawyer to sue Centrelink. After all they exposed her to moral harm thus causing mental anguish, public humiliation and probably distress. Anyway, I’ll keep checking my accounts in the hope of ’bank error’. You’ll know when it happens. I’ll be gone. Money isn’t always the boon one thought it was going to be. It’s like an episode of the Twilight Zone that I’ve never forgotten – a man has three wishes. He wishes to be rich. His son is killed in a factory accident and he receives a huge compensation payment. So he wishes his son to be alive. There is a knock at the door and it’s the mangled son, a mutilated zombie. So the father, who once had three wishes must now wish the unthinkable: for his son to die. Centrelink is the new Twilight Zone.

How has your personal journey dealing with alcohol and drug addiction informed your practice as a healer/coach? Having walked the path of both alcohol and drug addiction, it is much easier to understand, and have empathy for, other people’s journeys. When, and if, I share my past experiences with clients, it can give them the feeling of being more understood. Knowing the challenges involved in overcoming addictions gives me a clearer indication of the steps that people need to break the cycles of addiction. What are the mistakes we most commonly make, do you think, on the road to recovery?

support. Without these it is easy to step off the road to su recovery and fall back into the old way of being. Often re it is about changing old daily habits, connections and social connections. By not doing this, it is easy to stay so stuck. stu Why do yo you think we are drawn to the same bad choices in our lives o over and over? From a holistic and psychotherapeutic perspective; it is a case of people not engaging and holding their focus on the choices that they have and allowing the ’old self’ to be the decision maker, rather than working from their ’I’ presence, or higher self. This is nearly always connected to old stuck past experiences, lifestyle, diet, drug and/or alcohol intake and lack of creativity. These things dampen or swamp our ’I’ or higher self and keep us in a cloud of unconsciousness, and/or fear and doubt. There is a great quote I heard once from a 12-step program which says something like ’the definition of insanity is repeating the same thing over and over and expecting different results’. How do we break these destructive and limiting patterns? This quote, I believe, comes from Einstein. I believe and have come to understand that the only way to overcome our limiting patterns and destructive behaviours is to change our lifestyle and make new conscious choices and set ourselves a new plan and routine, along with support and learn to be in the present and learn to be the age that we are in that present time. If I am 48, then I must learn to act and be 48 and learn to be responsible for my behaviour. I use a great powerful tool and ask my clients to use it – it is the foundation of all my work. I ask people to ask the question ’Where am ’’I” Right Now?’– I ask them to ask the question on the hour – every hour for one week. This one exercise, when

used and carried out, will, and has, changed people’s lives. Do we all have a higher purpose? If so, how do we locate it in the first place? I often ask people in sessions about this topic and I ask them: ’If you had a magic wand and could tap it three times and make a wish, what would you do next week if you had no fears, doubts, boundaries or obstacles?’ This generally gives people an idea of what their purpose is – our purpose is often connected to our work or vocation. What are the excuses you hear the most from people for not being more empowered in their lives? I hear Blame! Blame! Blame! They can’t do ’it’ because of him or her or it. This is the most common thing that I come across. That and probably lack of will and the lack of having a dream to follow. Do we all crave the same thing in the end? Yes, in my opinion we all crave love and acceptance and some spiritual/higher connection . If so, then why is it so hard to get there? Phew – the milliondollar question! Is it so hard? Or is it all about choice – this is my belief – we either choose to be there or not. My work is more about getting people to see and make new choices in their lives. Then we put a plan into process. Tell me a little about the workshop at the Starlight Expo. It will be a hands-on and experiential workshop and will begin with the participants asking the question ’Where am “I” Right Now?’ physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually – and moving to a more empowered place by using communication, fun and games, art, speech and drama and movement.

s r a t S WITH LILITH

As midweek Mercury moves out of retrograde communications clear, machines stop mucking up, misunderstandings unravel and mislaid objects mysteriously reappear…

E A RIES: Right now Aries is flavour of the day and you’re alive with divine fire, ingenious ideas and delicious mischief. But while you’re busy with invitations, visitors and birthday fizzy, Saturn’s hell bent on finetuning your relationships, insisting you focus less on independence, more on interdependence. F T AURUS: Venus in your house of values and April’s emphasis in your realisation sector takes your awareness in new directions to rewarding insights. So avoid people, substances or situations that make you anxious, tense or distracted; instead think spas, massages, nice food, entertaining friends and retail treats.. G G EMINI: With midweek Venus in Twinville and your planet ruler Mercury moving forward again, this week’s zesty celestial cocktail produces plenty of competitive, quick-tempered, strong-willed citizens wanting to run the show. But they’ll be no match for your wicked wit, social savvy and eloquent repartee. H C ANCER: April’s your time for relationship reassessment, when old ways of functioning no longer satisfy and new beginnings appeal. This week Saturn rewrites the personal terms and economic conditions of Cancerian partnerships. What to do? Talk it through. While closure’s on the cards, so is an exciting turnaround.

Culturey

I L EO: Energy’s shooting everywhere like fireworks, giving even ordinary things a thrilling sizzle as this upbeat week launches a refurb of personal relationships and business associations. Consider what you could do to improve intimate partnerships and enhance your professional standing – a quantum-leap growth spurt awaits you. J V IRGO: With Mercury turning direct again in your relationship zone, Venus in friendly Gemini and midweek moon in Virgo, affection moves things more smoothly this week than a force field of driven busyness. It’s okay to show your soft side – others love it, so why be shy? K L IBRA: Others might be throwing wobblies and spinning out, but as April opens a whole new can of plans and possibilities, your leading lady Venus in charming, lighthearted Gemini brightens your outlook with a clearer picture of what direction to take and how best to take it. L S CORPIO: April’s the month for getting stuff done, and this enterprising week flares into passionate dissatisfaction with what’s not working and huge enthusiasm for what will. Be mindful that a noprisoners approach will evoke friction and opposition; ask for help rather than trying to control everything yourself.

COMEDY W TATTS Mandy Nolan returns as MC this month to the Tatts Hotel when she MCs the regular open mic room. Every month beginner comics have the opportunity to strut their stuff under the guidance of a professional comic. ’You never know what you are going to get one month to the next,’ laughs Nolan, but generally it’s pretty bloody funny!’ Catch Nolan when she’s joined by eight new comics at the Tatts Hotel on Wednesday at 8pm. $5 Entry.

M S AGITTARIUS: Archers are People Who Do Too Much, and this time of year is when you do it. So don’t look for what’s wrong to correct it, but what’s right to expand it. Everyone’s imperfections are showing this week, but smart Archers will refrain from comment. N C APRICORN: This week offers a more Capricornfriendly climate, with things that formerly seemed important losing ground as new needs and realisations emerge. You’re at your most effective and level headed during late week Capricorn moon when Mars sharpens decision-making skills and encourages a proactive approach. O A QUARIUS: Some people are demanding and hard to please, but with April’s astral emphasis in your house of fun you’re not likely to be one of them. You’ll be too busy producing this week’s most original material: odd but strangely workable solutions, radical strategies, unusual and amusing ideas… P PISCES: With Mercury moving forward again in Pisces affection’s on this week’s menu, so restore accord where there’s been friction, show and tell others how much you value them. Even fiery, tempestuous types will respond to sweet talk, so why not let appreciation weave its magic spell?

Damien has since won several awards and has exhibited widely across Australia with great success. Damien lives with autism, which influences his choices and capacities for communication both verbally and socially. Damien’s world is inspirational; here is a man that happily paints his way into a reality that is a festival of colours, which is perfect as we celebrate Autism Awareness week!

The Hunger Games

Viral hype, the online version of word-of-mouth, only without the real-life participation of pesky human beings, has been around since at least The Blair Witch Project (1999). Its hook is usually baited for teens and when a new über-craze comes along in tandem with a publishing phenomenon (in this case Suzanne Collins’s best-selling trilogy – don’t worry, it completely bypassed me, too), what you’ve got on your hands is… big bucks for big business.

Its subversive pose – kid from the wrong side of the tracks defying the grotesque puppeteers who control society – is, as always, bogus, but it should not detract from what is an engrossing adventure. Following a major upheaval, the tradition has been established for two young ‘tributes’ to be chosen from the Empire’s twelve outlying districts and brought to the capital where they are trained for an al fresco gladiatorial contest that will result in only one of them left standing (like TV’s worryingly popular Survivor, of which I have never seen an episode,

so I don’t dare bag it). From dirt-poor District 12, Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) volunteers to go in place of her balloted little sister, and she is joined to take part in the Games by Peeta (Josh Hutcherson). They arrive at a city built by Albert Speer and its inhabitants – among them a delightfully tizzy Elizabeth Banks – dressed by Lady Gaga, and it is during this period of the tributes’ preparation that the film is at its most scathing of our bread-and-circuses culture. The bumpy, handheld camera is annoying, but the dark satire and characterisations are easily recognisable. Woody Harrelson as Haymitch, a disheveled former champ now mentoring Katniss, threatens to upstage everybody, as does Stanley Tucci’s murderously beaming Games host, to say nothing of Wes Bentley’s outrageous beard. But it is Lawrence’s movie, as she makes of Katniss a heroine of depth and intrigue – a far better role model for girls than Twilight’s air-headed Bella. There are no real surprises, but (I can’t believe I’m saying this) it left me dead keen for the sequel. ~ John Campbell

Mirror Mirror There’s a ribald schoolyard joke about why Snow White remained a virgin while she was living with the seven dwarfs – but we’d best not mention it here. After those responsible for the costumes, music and art direction, the dwarfs – thankfully, they are not called ‘little people’ – are far and away the stars of this mildly funny and sumptuously fitted-out take on the age-old fairy tale. As in so much of what mainstream cinema is now producing for the puberty dollar, there is a considerable LATEST IN DIGITAL SURROUND SOUND

emphasis on changing the stereotypes of boy and girl – it’s emphasised by the resourceful Snow White (Lily Collins), with sultry feral eyebrows, wearing a very metallic blue gown in the fabulous song and dance sequence that accompanies the end credits, as Indian director Tarsem Singh unleashes Bollywood full-blown. The evil Queen (Julia Roberts), who has usurped the throne and kept the eighteen-yearold Princess Snow a prisoner in the palace, is attracted to the handsome and wealthy Prince Alcott (Armie Hammer). Clueless as a swashbuckler, the Prince had been waylaid in the wintery forest by the dwarfs who resemble a lopped version of the Magnificent Seven, with new names that give them more street cred than Bashful, Doc, Dopey etc. When Alcott and the fleeing Princess meet it is love at first sight. The rest of the story is, as they say, history, but the re-telling of it is light on the cut and thrust demanded by the gorgeous eye candy in which it is dressed. Hammer, both aristocratic and gauche, is particularly adept at self-effacing comedy, but he is not given enough opportunity to display his natural gift for the deadpan, whereas Collins, pretty as a porcelain doll, leaves it until the very last to reveal her character’s thoroughly modern vindictiveness. Roberts has the time of her life as the fading, embittered dowager and it is the realisation that her time has passed (her egg is shattered) that provides a touch of genuine poignancy to the tale. But the dwarfs are the best. ~ John Campbell

No doubt some of you are going to want to see the much-hyped Samson & Delilah (ABC2, Saturday, 8.30pm), which would have been much better as a 20-minute short, but for our money the Saturday evening viewing is best kickstarted with: 1. Wallace & Gromit – The Curse of The Were-Rabbit (Prime, 6.30pm). Yes, there’s a bad rabbit menacing our claymation heroes, and the eccentric inventor and his sceptical dog must find a way to triumph. The garden show host Lady Tottington is voiced by Helena Bonham Carter and Ralph Fiennes is in there somewhere. 2. Jamie Foxx is splendid as rhythm and blues legend Ray Charles in the warts-and-all biopic Ray (Ten, Sunday, 10.30pm). He richly deserved his Oscar for best actor. Charles was set to attend an opening of the completed film but died of liver disease several months before its premiere. Charles’s life was both hard and triumphant, and for many years he also carried the monkey of heroin addiction on his back. The film captures the spirit of music which illuminates his playing and singing.

WELCOME! Yesterday I ducked into the local disposal store and bought myself a very comfortable new pair of Wellingtons. After years of going to the Bluesfest I know that I don’t want wet feet to detract from my enjoyment of what is each year a ‘remarkable’ lineup. It’s the kind of festival where the weather doesn’t matter. The event in itself is an experience of total musical immersion. This year the program features many acts who have long histories, many with beyond 40 plus years of playing together. These are musical stories that have evolved and been shaped by time; some of the musicians have even shaped popular culture, like Donovan, or the politically outspoken Crosby Stills and Nash. This year Bluesfest pays homage to one of Australia’s longstanding superbands: Cold Chisel, the first Australian act to ever headline a Bluesfest bill. This will be the third time I’ve seen Buddy Guy, but he’s one of those artists that I keep wanting to return to, knowing that my life maturity is going to add even more dimension to how I enjoy his playing. Bluesfest boasts a solid five-day program that provides only one main challenge‌ is it best to sit in one tent all day or weave between? I’m always perplexed as how to manage a program where I want to catch everyone! The best advice to anyone attending Bluesfest is to get out your biro and mark up your program, and in the process make sure you do a little research to try to find out about acts you may not have heard of. And then take a few risks, and let yourself discover your next favourite new act. They’re everywhere. Make sure to take the time to catch our local musos who get a run at Bluesfest, with acts like The Blackbirds, Mick McHugh and The Round Mountain Girls, winners of three Golden Fiddle Awards at Tamworth this year. While the sun may shine all weekend, I’d say, cover thy feet and open thy heart to a five-day musically transformative experience!

Forty years plus and going strong, Crosby Stills and Nash, the world’s first supergroup, takes the stage at Bluesfest. The music of David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash – CS&N – is a cornerstone of rock ’n’ roll. Individually these men had exceptional careers prior to CS&N. David Crosby played with folk-rock group, The Byrds, Stephen Stills with Buffalo Springfield and Graham Nash sang with the outspoken political group, The Hollies. As CS&N this Grammy Award-winning trio of legendary singer-songwriters have been actively collaborating since 1969; each one inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame twice! Their first two albums listed in Rolling Stone ’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. CS&N survived the turbulent times in which they existed as well as the often volatile climate of their own inner workings and personal lives to continue to make music that connected with fans around the world. In addition to making music together, Crosby, Stills and Nash have always pursued parallel solo careers; a complete list of the collaborations that would produce its own massive discography and touring history. Throughout their incredible solo careers, these three lifelong friends keep coming back to stake their claim as one of the greatest bands – ever From Woodstock to Bluesfest – it’s a legacy of the might of music and people power!

Every major guitar player without exception gives a nod to Buddy Guy who for 50 years has blazed his trail of energetic blues and blues rock, releasing over 60 albums, mingling the deepest of blues with a creative, unpredictable and radical gumbo of the blues, rock, soul and free jazz that morphs at every performance. And there have been many performances. As one of five children raised on a plantation near the small town of Lettsworth, located some 140 miles northwest of New Orleans, he used

BUSBY MAROU ‘Glorious and genuinely original – amalgams of the very best that folkinspired pop can offer. The end result is compelling and beautiful.’ – Sydney Morning Herald Bluesfest this year features Rockhampton duo Busby Marou. Tom Busby and Jeremy Marou’s unique blend of folk-soaked pop is a shining example of the talent emerging in Australia. The duo were approached by John O’Donnell – former EMI general manager and co-producer of He Will Have His Way album tribute to the Finn Brothers as the only unsigned act included. John O’Donnell mentioned afterwards: ‘Busby Marou were one of the real discoveries for us. Their cover of Crowded House’s Better Be Home Soon was a thing of beauty’. Subsequently the duo signed with Warner Music Australia’s indie imprint Footstomp Records, releasing their first self-titled album that went gold within a month and debuted at #24 on the Aria Album Chart. The duo also took out the 2009 Deadly Award for Most Promising New Talent in Music as well as a swag of nominations and awards since. Make sure to catch Tom Busby’s cheeky onstage presence and Jeremy Marou’s breathtaking musicianship this Easter. Mojo on Sunday.

Despite losing these two founder members – and then later, that of longtime guitarist Henry Vestine in 1997 – Canned Heat has survived under the leadership of Fito de la Parra since the late 70s. Since 1967, the band has toured extensively all over the world, performing at numerous festivals including Monterey Pop, Newport Pop, the Sturgis Motorcycle Run USA, and the original Woodstock. They have performed at world-renowned venues such as the Paris Olympia, both Fillmore Auditoriums, The Kaleidoscope, Carnegie Hall (with John Lee Hooker), Madison Square Garden and even Royal Albert Hall, and have played more biker festivals and charity events than any other band in the world. Now into their sixth decade of their seemingly endless WORLD BOOGIE TOUR, the HEAT have turned it up again and are bringing their unique blend of roadhouse electric blues, rock and boogie back to the Bluesfest stage.

With plans to continue performing and recording, the band was gutted in January 2011 when drummer Steve Prestwich passed away suddenly as a result of complications from a brain tumour. With Steve’s performances and some of his songs captured on tape, the band ultimately felt compelled to continue with the plans they had begun.

Recording continued through May and June with drummer Charley Drayton. In July 2011, the band rolled out the biggest archival release in Australian music history, remastering all of their extensive catalogue and unearthing 56 new or rare live and studio recordings.

ANGELIQUE KIDJO Angelique Kidjo is one of the greatest forces in African music, a creative energy with eleven international albums to her name. Her most recent release, 2010’s Oyo featuring John Legend, Bono and Dianne Reeves, is a measure of her maturity. The album is deeply introspective, reflecting on the events that have brought Kidjo to this point. Not only is she an amazing songstress and storyteller, she has an amazing story herself. Having grown up in the west African state of Benin and being forced into exile aboard to avoid imprisonment, this Grammy-awardwinning inspiration still bears witness to her African roots. Her fierce advocacy of humanitarianism and women’s rights prompted Time magazine to call her ‘Africa’s premier diva’ and The Guardian to

Time magazine have called her ‘America’s finest songwriter’. Lucinda Williams is back at Bluesfest with a swag of new songs off her latest work Blessed and we can’t wait. Writing since the age of six, playing guitar since she was 12, she has been performing for the last 37 years. It’s fair to say she has perfected the art of creating intriguing, gritty lyrics to match her distinctive, haunting voice during this time. Blessed is no exception. This alt-country songstress had Elvis Costello among the guest musicians featured on her latest album, playing some scorching electric guitar that only further offset the strength of her spine-tingling voice. Crossroads on Thursday & Saturday.

MACEO PARKER His name is synonymous with funky music, his pedigree impeccable; his band – the tightest little funk orchestra on Earth. Everyone knows by now that he’s played with each and every leader of funk: his start with James Brown, which Maceo describes as ‘like being at university’; jumping aboard the mothership with George Clinton and those varied and colourful incarnations of Parliament and Funkadelic; stretching out with Bootsy’s Rubber Band. He’s the living, breathing pulse that connects the history of funk in one golden thread; the cipher that unravels dance music down to its core. Crossroads on Sunday & Monday.

Serious money has been poured into renovating the 101-year-old O’Possum Creek public school, set on a rise at the junction of Friday Hut and Possum Creek roads. The place positively gleams with fresh paint, primary colours, smart chairs and inside a clean clear space with high ceilings and chandeliers. To arrive I threaded my car through rainforest along the sort of treacherously narrow winding hairpin-bended hinterland roads with which we have by now accustomed ourselves, the dampness of the morning wreathing the soft air with wisps of mist. Liliana’s has not been open long, the latest offering to the Shire’s dining scene and, according to owner/manager Joanne Hammond, already attracting enthusiastic customers, especially on weekends. I have yet to dine there but the well-credentialed chefs, Sydney boys who have worked respectively at Fuel Bistro and Brasserie Bread, have composed an alluring menu of contemporary dishes – chermoula-spiced lamb rump; white chocolate panna cotta; interesting salads – which make the notion of a long lazy Sunday lunch out there enchanting. It deserves to do well – as to be sure do all those restaurants young and old whose single-minded focus is on providing a beautiful experience of true hospitality to their customers; who pour passion into food, decor and service; who work the long hard hours for minimal profit. And yet, while the prospect of a country restaurant off the beaten track appeals to the romantic in most of us – while memories of travel are often emblazoned with that great dining experience that was stumbled upon (the plain farmhouse, the isolated village, the forest hideaway), the reality of running such an operation is decidedly less rose coloured. The absence of passing trade, the vicissitudes

Traditional Thai

The ones that persist and survive I simply admire, and return to time and time again. Harvest Cafe is rarely less than lovely, although like Figtree just outside Byron Bay just scrapes in as a destination restaurant – by which I mean that a maxi-taxi might convey a group of you there within financial feasibility. I will aways adore Che Bon at Tintenbar, the barn-like space beside the old church where owner Pascale, a small tattooed pixie, brings house-cured salmon and wickedly divine potato bakes and Cotes du Rhone to your table, explaining the specials in her beautifully flawed English. In another church is 561 Alphadale, a grand and lofty space at a crossroads in the middle, it feels, of nowhere, where young chef Peter Fleming serves grown-up, glamorous food and throws in the occasional sublime degustation nights. Near Mount Warning is the old Queenslander that houses Mavis’s Kitchen, upon whose verandah I have often dined from a menu which celebrates the bounteous garden of produce below, hand-plucked, you may even witness, by a chef with a basket over one arm. There is the Tumbulgum Tavern by the river back of Murwillumbah whose tables must be booked for Sunday lunch, so popular it is. And another pub, the Eltham where, last heard, the incomparable Graeme Stockdale (ex-Utopia) is sending out fabulous, better-than-pub food.

Big news for Winter Whales Suns’ season starts on a low

The Byron Bay Winter Whales are pleased announce that this year’s 25th Beach Hotel Ocean Swim Classic will include a current Olympian in its field. Melissa Gorman, a staunch supporter of this event, was one of the first 2012 Olympians announced on the team to travel to London. Melissa will be competing in the 10 kilometre Open Water event at Hyde Park in London in midAugust. Her fellow Open Water event competitor, Ky Hurst, is at this stage uncommitted to competing in the Bay in May because of some training committments. Mel has won The Beach Hotel Ocean Swim Classic five

times in the last six years being the defending champion and is using the May 6 event to sharpen up her tactical skills for the London event. She has been a supporter of the everincreasing open ocean events in and around the norther rivers and southern Queensland. The Winter Whales are quite thrilled that Mel has taken the effort to compete this year and feel that this vindicates the event and it’s efforts as a fundraiser for selected charities and local organisations. Those cooler mornings mean only one thing: the Winter Whales are taking to the water for the start of their 2012 season. Attending members were seen plunging into the warm

(26 degree) water and sunning themselves on the stroll back. Hardly winter, boys! Jethro presented a consommé for swimmers’ consumption consisting of a bunch of big bones interspersed with a bunch of little bones and corn, carrots and spuds. He got 9.5 points for it. The meeting decided (or was told), that the season proper starts in two weekends’ time – if they can get the Captain away from the belly-dancers long enough. This will also be the Annual General Meeting so turn up, get financial and nominate your mate on April 15. Next Sunday is a casual, informal, ad hoc swim for Easter.

It was widely anticipated that Gold Coast would improve this year after some good play during the NAB Cup, but I think we expected it too soon. As for Adelaide, it’s hard to believe this is the same side that’s struggled in the bottom spots of the ladder for the past two years. It has some guns – Taylor Walker and Kurt Tippett who kicked nine goals between them in a strong forward display. All eyes were on Gary Ablett, who even amid the mayhem stood tall as the best player on the ground. He had great

disposals, kicked two magnificent goals and generally looked better than ever. But I question why Adelaide would even bother targeting him? It’s much easier and more economical to stop the other 17 players than to try and single out Ablett the whole game. Overall, it was another game, another hiding for the Suns as the afternoon Sun slowly went down over Metricon Stadium. The margin was 69 points but it could have been far, far worse, with the Crows booting 23 behinds. Suns 10.8.68 to Crows 19.23.137.

The first Gold Coast Suns match of the season kicked of at Metricon Stadium Saturday afternoon and, as reality hits, all the talent in the world won’t make a football team. The club recruiters can pick the best of the draft crop for years, you can buy the best player in the competition and even bring in a superstar from the other code to market, but ultimately it doesn’t buy discipline, or teamwork, or the stamina to run and run until your lungs squeal and your legs burn. That takes time – years and practice.

Ajit “I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stied by dry-rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magniďŹ cent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them. I shall use my time,â€? Jack London. Dearly missed by Dave, Ari, Sib, Sue, Kylie, Sarah and all he touched with his beautiful heart.

In February 2012 the volume of new home sales bounced modestly off a concerning January low, according to the Housing Industry Association. ć F )*"o+&-% 8&/ /FX Home Sales report, based on a survey of Australia’s 100 largest builders, showed a modest increase of 3.0 per cent in total seasonally adjusted new home sales in February 2012. Detached house sales rose by 2.2 per cent while multi-unit sales jumped by 10.5 per cent. HIA chief economist Dr Harley Dale said that any bounce in new home sales in February was encouraging after an awful start to 2012. ‘Furthermore, it was the continued decline in Victoria from previous record highs that pulled new home sales down in February, while

or she receives a good offer and have your solicitor on call to be able to get moving quickly on the conveyancing. For settlement day, make sure you vacate the property, leave it in the same condition it was in when your buyer signed the contract, organise the disconnection of all utilities and hand over the keys to the new owners.

your homework and that you’re expecting a price a little closer to your listing price. Be prepared to drop around five per cent from your hoped-for price – but take guidance from your real estate agent about the demand from buyers thus far. 9. Ensuring a smooth transaction from contract to settlement: A contract isn’t binding until each of you has a copy signed by both of you.

that is likely to target the right buyers. Too high and you’re narrowing your potential buyer pool, too low and you’re only going to get the opportunistic bargain hunters. Don’t rely on real estate agents to give you a realistic price expectation; get an independent property valuer to give you a valuation based on knowledge of the local property market and their appraisal of your individual property. 7. Dressing to impress on inspection days: On inspection day, make sure your home is fresh and welcoming, sweep the front step, polish the door knocker, fill the entrance with light and put fresh flowers in strategic spots around the property. Clear the house of kids and pets, play soft tasteful music and put fresh towels in the bathrooms. 8. Being prepared to negotiate: When you get an offer from a buyer that may be much lower than you would like, reply courteously, letting the buyer know you’ve done

As soon as you make the decision to sell your home, you need to look at your asset in a different way. No longer just the place where you and your family live, your home is a product that you need to market and present to your potential buyers. Showcasing your home is all about highlighting the possibilities. Here are nine tips to help you put yourself in the shoes of your buyers and ensure you get the best possible price for your home. 1. Understanding your buyers: Different kinds of properties suit different kinds of buyers but if you can second-guess the kind of people who may be attracted to your property you can craft your marketing accordingly, better understand how you can go about preparing your home for sale and deciding which real estate agent to choose. A good real estate agent can give you insight into likely buyers based on their

experience of the local market but also talk to your friends to get their ideas. 2. Removing personal clutter: Your first step in preparing your home for sale is to pare down your furniture and belongings. Remove any ornaments that are too personal or idiosyncratic including family photos and children’s drawings. Home buyers are looking for a place they can imagine themselves being happy and proud of so leave room for them to visualise themselves in your home. 3. Adding value with cosmetic changes: Space, freshness and light are probably the most sought-after aspects of a property. Many properties that have a lot to offer in this regard are overlooked by buyers because sellers have failed to carry out simple and often inexpensive improvements. Try a coat of paint to freshen up the place, lift worn carpets to reveal floorboards you can polish or replace tired cabinet doors and door handles in the kitchen and bathroom. 4. Building more storage: One of the biggest complaints of home owners is lack of storage. Having a spacious open-plan living area or three bathrooms can be cancelled out if there is nowhere to store sheets, the vacuum cleaner or family memorabilia. Make more space for storage by building cupboards or shelves in each room or convert spare space in your roof to an attic. 5. Finding an enthusiastic real estate agent: If you don’t handle the sale of your property yourself, you need to rely on a real estate agent to bring in buyers and get them interested in your home. Make sure the agent you choose understands your property’s good points and has the skills and commitment to market them with enthusiasm. 6. Pricing your home properly: List your home at a price
