Uranium exploration looks set after ban lifted Luis Feliu

The Far North Coast could be explored for uranium under legislation passed by the state government last week. The 26-year-old ban on uranium exploration was lifted when the legislation passed the Upper House, sparking an outcry from the Greens and Labor MPs who opposed it. The controversial move came two weeks after the first anniversary of the world’s biggest nuclear disaster at Fukushima in Japan, which is still causing major problems. Labor’s spokesman for the Tweed, MLC Walt Secord, told parliament one of the areas nominated for exploration was the Clarence-Moreton basin (which includes the far north coast). Mr Secord has called on north coast National Party MPs Don Page (Ballina), Geoff Provest (Tweed), Thomas George (Lismore) and Chris Gulaptis (Clarence) ‘to ensure that the unique quality of life on the north coast was protected from uranium exploration’. In his speech against the bill, Mr Secord cited a corporate publication from the Sydney law firm, Clayton Utz, which revealed possible areas for exploration. He said the newsletter, entitled ‘Is the tide turning? NSW government proposes lifting ban on uranium exploration’, issued on March 1, identified parts of NSW ‘they think are ripe for potential uranium exploration.’ ‘The paper singled out the Murray Basin and the Mundi Mundi Plains near Broken Hill as well as the Clarence-Moreton basin, which is the far north coast of NSW as potential sites for exploration,’ he said. ‘In 1986, in a spirit of bipartisanship, the NSW parliament agreed that the potential release of toxic elements could contaminate large areas of land

Police told media they searched 300 people and 20 vehicles for cannabis and amphetamines, but that overall crowd behaviour was positive. Bluesfest director Peter Noble says the 23rd annual event was another major success with ‘something for everyone young and old’, ‘bringing in tens of millions of dollars into the region, creating hundreds of jobs and creating beautiful music’. Mr Noble said the response from major artists to the enthusiastic Byron audiences was heartfelt. The manager of Earth Wind and Fire, which he said was one of the best acts ever, told him ‘you just can’t buy that sort of audience, it’s the best in the world, they hang on every note. It’s such a

pleasure to play for them’. ‘Donovan said to me “Peter, that’s an Irish crowd, they sing along with you, it’s a great event”’.

Petitions against Byron Council events policy Petitions were also available throughout the festival encouraging punters to oppose the current Byron Shire Council events policy which proposes to cap events at two per year. ‘This policy singles out music as the only form of event to be banned in the Byron Shire,’ it reads.

More than 100 Lennox Head locals staged a sit-in protest yesterday on the beachfront block of land which Ballina Shire Council controversially intends to sell to the state government to expand the adjoining Lake Ainsworth Caravan Park. And over 300 people, including visitors to the monthly markets at the seaside village, signed a petition calling on primary industries minister Katrina Hodgkinson and Ballina MP Don Page to stop the sale of the two blocks in Ross Street, which council has negotiated to sell to the North Coast Accommodation Trust (NCAT) for $1.3 million. Ms Hodgkinson has yet to sign off on the contentious deal, which has sparked widespread opposition from all the Lennox Head community groups and councillors who say the land is needed for community use in a congested area, especially with population almost set to treble over the next decade or so.

Mr Page last week defended the sale, saying ultimately it was a matter for council and that ‘they won’t build skyscrapers or anything like that’. Mr Page also defended Ballina council’s general manager Paul Hickey against claims of a conflict of interest because of his friendship and business partnership with North Coast Accommodation Trust administrator Jim Bolger. Mr Page said he had investigated the claim once it was brought to his attention and was ‘advised that in this case there is no conflict of interest because there is no nexus between the land under question (adjoining the caravan park) and the jointly-owned land at Angels Beach’, which the two had bought and sold. Cr Jeff Johnson addressed the protest as hundreds of people and traffic made their way in and out of the bustling markets. ‘While other councils are

fighting the state government to protect their local community land from encroachment or takeover by state-run caravan parks, Ballina Shire Council is handing them this land on a plate and at a discounted price,’ Cr Johnson said. He said the community was being ‘treated with contempt’ by the council, which recently narrowly voted to sell the land and use the money for shirewide infrastructure. But Cr Johnson said he believed the real reason council wanted the money was to buy and redevelop land near the Wigmore Arcade shopping centre in Tamar Street, Ballina. He said the Lennox land was transferred to the council by the CWA in the 1960s for $1 and was to be dedicated as a public reserve.

Population set to double ‘This land should be classified as community land and not sold off. It has strategic importance; the Lennox population is now at 6,000 but will soon double to 12,000 and with further development planned for land at the top of Ross Lane bringing in another 8,000 people; that’s 16,000 people living within a five-minute drive from here. The area is already congested and public

land like this is at a premium in the shire; this could be used in future for extra parking or for picnic tables and chairs or open space and trees; it will play a vital role in the future amenity of the area. ‘The surf club here needs redeveloping but council won’t use the money for that; council has $30 million tied up in industrial land and can use some of that for it, and it’s a furphy they need to sell this community land to upgrade another community asset. ‘We need to send a clear message to council, the minister and the local member that we don’t want it sold.’ Cr Johnson said that council last May wrote to the van park operators asking them to shift ‘all their stuff ’ from the land including a laundry and shipping containers after a proposed lease agreement with the NCAT, which runs the van park, fell through. ‘They refused to sign a lease agreement over the land, so they’re now using it free to bolster the park’s coffers; it’s a disgrace. ‘We want them to take this fence down,’ he said to cheers. Cr Johnson said the community was never consulted about the sale and ‘everything about this deal stinks’. Brunswick Heads local Sean O’Meara told the crowd that

what was happening in Lennox mirrored what was happening across the north coast with state-run van parks ‘blocking public access’ to water frontage and fencing off their land to the wider community. ‘They will stop you getting to the lake; it’s outrageous’, Mr O’Meara said. Lennox Head real estate agent Lois Buckett said council was selling the land ‘ridiculously cheap’.

‘Ridiculously cheap’ ‘A 750-square-metre block of land up the road recently sold for $1.4 million and this is two blocks at 1,100 square metres for $1.3 million, so they’re giving them a bargain,’ she said. Lennox Head Residents Association member Denise Stobart said the land should be kept for future generations of locals and not sold to a profitmaking venture. Former councillor Alan Rich said council had struggled to find land for a skate park, a CWA shed and fire station recently because there was just not enough public land left in Lennox Head and the sale didn’t make sense. ‘But it’s not a done deal and the key thing is to let Don Page know. ‘He’s a good representative and hopefully should reverse this decision,’ Mr Rich said.

and pollute our rivers. They knew then, as Labor knows now, that there is still no failsafe way to transport and manage nuclear waste.

Not failsafe ‘There is still no failsafe way to safeguard the health of workers, or the health of communities, from it. Mr Secord said the move by the coalition was ‘a huge betrayal’ of the people of NSW because they had no mandate. The new legislation was a ‘complete policy reversal. Every community in Australia would 2 April 10, 2012 The Byron Shire Echo

agree that this bill requires an electoral mandate’. He said Mr O’Farrell in August last year ruled out repealing the ban, yet in mid-2011 the Sydney Morning Herald reported that minister for resources and energy Chris Hartcher had met the chief executive of the Australian Uranium Association to discuss overturning it. ‘Shortly afterwards the Australian Uranium Association wrote to the minister formally asking him to make any necessary changes to permit uranium exploration and mining in NSW. He said Mr Hartcher re-

cently told ABC Radio that the proposed uranium exploration was ‘to build up a databank. If the resource is there in commercial quantities then of course you will consider mining it,’ Mr Secord said. Exploration was ‘clearly the first step in the establishment of a uranium industry in NSW’, he added. ‘Mining companies do not walk into a state and say, “We will spend millions and locate a resource and then do nothing with it.” Mining companies explore so they can mine.’ Separate legislation would be required to lift the NSW ban on uranium mining. www.echo.net.au

Street violence sparks calls for cameras Luis Feliu

Calls to install security cameras in Byron Bay’s CBD have been stepped up as late-night alcoholfuelled assaults in and around the town’s main street become an almost regular occurrence. Last week, a Dutch tourist had his throat slashed as he tried to intervene in an assault in Jonson Street in the early hours of the morning and two other tourists were assaulted. Police say it’s ‘time to do something about it’. They say Byron Bay is the fourth-worst area for alcohol-related violence in NSW, with a startling 130-plus assaults in Jonson Street alone over a nine-month period last year. And if you’re out and about in Byron Bay between 11pm and 3am, you have a far greater chance of being assaulted by someone affected by alcohol than in anywhere else in the state, they said.

Byron Shire Council has come under fire from the business community for not backing the installation of closed-circuit television cameras (CCTVs) but mayor Jan Barham says it’s not council’s role to manage licensed premises and that business and police should install and monitor the cameras.

Police ‘fed up’ Byron United (chamber of commerce) president Paul Waters and Ballina MP Don Page agree ratepayers shouldn’t have to pay for the cameras, but say council could apply for state and federal funding for them. But Cr Barham says that (government) ‘funding is only available for the cameras and installation, not the more expensive option of monitoring them full time.’ Mr Waters, who runs the licensed Balcony restaurant in the heart of town, says licensed premises shouldn’t be blamed

A club re-invented:

Tweed leads with less plastic

The Bangalow bowling & sports club reopens its doors after creditors paid Funds raised from the community totalling around $200,000 have enabled the club’s creditors to be paid and the club’s doors to re-open, club president Brian Mackney has announced. The Bangalow Bowlo grand re-opening will be Friday April 13 at 4pm. ‘But that is only the start,’ he says. ‘We are by no means out of the woods. We will continue to need working capital and continued community support is essential to our long-term success.’

Change of focus He says the festivities will carry throughout the weekend, ‘with lots of social, sporting and cultural activities taking place to showcase our vision for the new club. ‘An important change will be a focus on families and culture. ‘Sunday will be a special day for families and will feature lots of music and cultural activities. There will be junior sports skills clinics and exhibition matches and other kids’ entertainment.’ He says the progress to date is very encouraging, with other clubs from adjoining towns, sporting, social and cultural groups that have ‘rolled their

sleeves up and all pitched in to help us remodel the club and to prepare it for a weekend festivities commencing on Friday April 13.’ Mr Mackney added that an estimated additional $100,000 in ‘in kind’ contributions had ‘been from the local community in remodelling the interior of the club and assisting in the rebirthing process we are going through.’

Interior remodelled ‘Local tradespeople and suppliers and enthusiastic townspeople and supporters have turned up in large numbers to move furniture and remodel and repaint the interior to prepare the club for the re-opening. ‘In addition, there has been a lot of behind-the-scenes effort in raising funds and putting in place the mechanisms for managing those funds. There are the financial plans, the marketing plans, the business plan, our re-branding strategy and communications plans. ‘These are all elements vital to the future professional management of the club, all provided largely by contributions from local professionals and

some as far away as Brisbane and Sydney.’ ‘We live here and know what this town is capable of, but the attention the Bowlo has been getting has reminded us of the strength of our community and what a special place we live in. This community spirit is reflected in our new vision for the club. As we reinvent the Bowlo as Our Sports and Community Club we will be aiming to connect the entire Bangalow community through sport, culture and social events,’ Mr Mackney said. ‘We want to encourage the community to think of the Bowlo as their own, providing a welcoming space for use by everyone. That has not always happened in the past, but the we are determined it will be the way of the future. Our meals and choice of a caterer will be important. We are going through a caterer selection process which will seek to provide quality meals at affordable prices. We are very determined to make the Bowlo our club – the heart of sport, cultural and social events in Bangalow.’ For further information contact Brian Mackney on 6687 1289 or mobile 0413 679 201.

Recently Bilambil became the ninth Tweed village to go plastic-bag free. It now leads the state in the number of communities that have banned the bag. Tweed mayor Barry Longland said the growing movement away from plastic bag use was an excellent example of a small change people can make in their lives which has a significant, positive, environmental impact. ‘These plastic bag bans are re-

ally helping to raise awareness of what an important issue this is and I note the use of reusable bags in areas outside these villages seems to be increasing as well,’ said Cr Longland. ‘This is a grass-roots movement where people are taking the initiative to do what is right for the environment and their communities and we are happy to do what we can to support their efforts.’ Bilambil Post Office Store owner Chris Thompson said

her customers welcomed the change and were well aware of the environmental concerns posed by plastic bags. ‘The idea for Bilambil was really kicked off by students at the local primary school and we were more than happy to go along with it.’ The UN Environment Programme estimates that plastic debris causes the deaths of more than one million seabirds and more than 100,000 marine mammals every year.

New locally owned butcher

A long-established farming family have branched out and opened their own butchery. Byron Bay Pork & Meats, located in Mullumbimby, supplies meats from the Singh family properties as well as other north coast farms. John Singh says since the family started farming in 1970, they now operate farms in Coolamon scenic drive, Broken Head and Tenterfield, running pigs, cattle and lamb. ‘My father came from India and in 1951 bought property at St Helena,’ he told The Echo. He added that they also farm Berkshire pigs, which produce a rare, highly sought after meat. The Singhs have also sold

their meats at the Byron farmers market for years, and also supply the Byron at Byron and the Balcony restaurant, among

others. Pictured at the grand opening last week is owner John Singh and manager Gary (Spider) McDonald.

pick up something unique to add to their special collection. ‘What’s great about this vintage trail is that each shop has something a little bit different to offer and caters for different styles and tastes. It also showcases Brunswick Heads as being a great little town to visit and explore. I’ve always had a love for anything old and interesting and I have been lucky to collect some great pieces over the years.’ Vintage Interior Pieces is located right next door to the Brunswick Heads Visitors Centre at 7 Park Street. It offers unique and special pieces, ranging from shabby chic, retro to antique and collectable furniture and ornaments. www.echo.net.au

Drop-in centre gets $5k Kleenheat Gas has supported the Byron Bay Salvation Army with a $5,000 donation to the Fletcher Street Cottage dropin centre. The centre welcomes 80-plus people per day and operates with no official funding. The recent economic downturn has led to a high unemployment rate of 17 per cent in Byron Bay, which, along with extremely high rents in the area, has left many disadvantaged and homeless people in the community. Clients that visit the Fletcher Street Cottage are mainly homeless, many single parents, some travellers and others in need. The Salvation Army runs the Fletcher Street Cottage in con-

junction with the St Vincent de Paul and the Byron Community Centre. The centre opened in 2010 and relies solely on profits from the local Salvos store to stay operational, supported by food donations from local businesses in Byron Bay. Twenty-five local volunteers work at the centre, under the guidance of manager Katie Thompson. Fletcher Street Cottage drop-in centre provides daytime shelter and meals, showers, laundry facilities, safe storage of belongings, health services, drug and alcohol counselling, welfare assistance, and referrals to other community programs such as detox and emergency accommodation.

Castle kings unite to save orangutans The Crystal Castle’s Naren King and son Toby have joined forces with the Macadamia Castle’s Tony Gilding and are preparing for a journey into Borneo to release ex-captive orangutans. Last week, The Echo published an article calling on interested parties to accompany Tony, who says the release of the endangered primate will be the largest in history. ‘I have known Naren and admired his passion for nature for many years,’ said Tony. Naren told The Echo, ‘I’ve always wanted to connect closely with

orangutans and do something for their survival. ‘This is an incredible opportunity for Toby and me to join orangutan experts and be at the forefront to save them.’ Toby is 13 years old and a budding cinematographer who is eager for the adventure. Tony added, ‘Our trip is a fundraiser with all proceeds going to Borneo Orangutan Survival Australia. We have raised over $10,000 from this trip and plan to run an information night and fundraiser on our return.’ The team will travel to Borneo in late April.

Ausbuy warns against relying on mining Australia’s peak advocate for Australian-owned companies, Ausbuy, says the mining sector is a short-term saviour and we should not rely on exporting non-renewables to ‘pay for our future.’ CEO Lynne Wilkinson also claims that, ‘In the past two financial years, we have had $27b in insolvencies and that

includes many small and medium sized businesses that actually made things here. There are no handouts for them when they go under.’ She also claims that over 80 per cent of Australia’s mining and 80 per cent of Australia’s government bonds are owned by foreign interests. ‘Every month, $22m goes off

shore as bond dividends. We have the highest interest rates in the developed world and a “for sale” sign on our wealthcreating assets. Our high dollar exacerbates the problem, making our exports uncompetitive and imports cheap. In the meantime the government is giving handouts to foreign companies to set up here.’

Northern Rivers residents are among the state’s top generators of electricity from rooftop solar panels. And despite governments cutting back subsidies for solar systems, demand for them only gets bigger as power bills surge, but panels get cheaper. While Dubbo has emerged as the solar-power capital of NSW with more than a quarter (28 per cent) of households having installed solar panels, the Alstonville, Rous and Meerschaum Vale postcode of 2477 scored second place with 21.2 per cent. Third was the postcode 2486 area of Banora Point, Tweed Heads South, Bilambil with 20 per cent, while Murwillumbah (2484) came in sixth with 18.4 per cent. Ballina and Lennox Head scored 17.3 per cent while Brunswick Heads, Ocean Shores and

Billinudgel came in at ninth place with 16.6 per cent. The new data, from the federal office of the renewable energy regulator, shows regional towns and coastal areas are the state’s brightest spots for the technology. Clean Energy Council (CEC) acting chief executive Kane Thornton said the latest figures show NSW has claimed the top solar postcode honours from Queensland’s Caloundra region, which topped the list this time last year. More than 8.5 per cent of NSW houses have installed solar power, just behind the national average of nine per cent. Mr Thornton says that while inner-city suburbs often have some of the lowest rates of solar installation, those in regional and lower-income suburbs, retirement belts and some coastal regions have embraced solar in the highest numbers. This suggested those most

exposed to rising power bills were more likely to invest in a solar system. ‘With the price of panels now about a third of what it was just three years ago, many people see solar power as a way to save on their energy bills as well as do something for the environment,’ he said.

‘The Hills Hoist of the 21st century’ ‘We now have around 600,000 solar power systems in Australia, but really we are just in the early stages of tapping in to the power of this technology. Solar panels are fast becoming the Hills Hoist of the 21st century.’ The not-for-profit CEC is the peak body for the clean-energy sector, representing more than 600 solar, wind, geothermal, hydro, wave, bioenergy, cogeneration and energy-efficiency companies.

Call to extend pipi ban Luis Feliu

Coastcare volunteers are urging people to lobby the state government over the next few days for an extension of the 12-month moratorium on commercial pipi harvesting. The moratorium ends on June 1, but submissions close this week and NSW primary industries minister Katrina Hodgkinson will consider whether to lift the ban soon after.

Ballina Coastcare says, ‘this is our last chance to make a difference and save molluscan life’ on north coast beaches. The drastic depletion of pipi stocks along NSW beaches in the past few years prompted the moratorium to allow them to regenerate and sparked a number of theories as to why they were fast disappearing. Over-harvesting, disease and the rapid change in sand movement because of ero-

sion have all been blamed for their demise. Ballina Coastcare spokesman Lee Andresen said the mollusc populations on north coast beaches were a vital part of the food chain and ‘their loss is a major destabilising factor in ecosystem health’. Submissions should be sent to minister for primary industries, Katrina Hodgkinson, via email burrinjuck@parliament. nsw.gov.au or by post to PO Box 600, Yass, NSW, 2582.

Ballina to Byron for the chopper

Katie Martin doesn’t remember anything about the car accident that left her in a critical condition with head and internal injuries in 2001. However, she does know that she probably owes her life to the Westpac Life Saver Helicopter. Katie was 20 when she was involved in a car accident at Alstonville and was flown by the helicopter from Lismore Base Hospital and then up to Brisbane. The accident happened on 19 November 2001 and Katie had no memory of the accident until New Year’s Day 2002. Luckily the helicopter flew her to Brisbane fast and after months of treatment Katie slowly recovered. ‘If I had to go by ambulance I don’t know if I’d be here,’ Katie said. ‘I’m still here but without the helicopter I wonder where I would be.’ Katie thinks the Ballina to Byron Bay Charity Walk is the ‘something’ she has been waiting for to thank the helicopter for helping save her life. ‘When I heard about the walk, I said, Hell yeah, I’m doing it!’ The Ballina to Byron Bay Charity Walk is a 37km coastal walk for teams and individuals who can choose to walk 12km,

30th anniversary It is also a celebration of sorts for the 30th anniversary of the helicopter. Despite having an hereditary muscle disease that has left her with weak legs, Katie is determined to attempt the full 37km coastal walk. ‘I’m a very determined person,’ Katie said.

At the official launch of the event Katie already had an aunt and uncle, friend and boyfriend signed up and reckons she will have a team of six walking with her. ‘I think being with lots of people as part of the helicopter community, along the beautiful coastline, to thank the helicopter will be a fantastic event to be part of. ‘You never know when you might need it.’ For more information and to register go to www.ballinatobyronbaywalk.com.au or phone Krystal on 6627 4444. www.echo.net.au

we have already seen in New South Wales last year, these are times when the electorate is prepared to go to extremes. When their anger is sufficiently aroused, even some of the 35 per cent who consider themselves committed Labor supporters are prepared to register their protest. And all the signs are that Julia Gillard is now irrevocably lined up as their next victim. If

ery is impossible. Julia Gillard is doubly doomed. This being the case, there is no longer any point in trying to spin and win; the only sensible alternatives are despair or defiance. Thus far, Gillard has ignored both in favour of delusion – the impossible dream in which somewhere over a million voters have a sudden epiphany in which all is forgiven and Tony Abbott’s manifest

If Queenslanders were prepared to turn on their own premier, how much more savage might they be to the blow-in cabbage patcher who stabbed their own banana bender, Kevin Rudd, in the back?

by Mungo MacCallum Queenslanders were prepared to turn on their own premier with such ferocity, how much more savage might they be to the blow-in cabbage patcher who stabbed their own banana bender, Kevin Rudd, in the back and is seen to be ignoring their day-to-day needs as she blunders between policy disasters and political crises? And Labor could lose the next federal election by a landslide on the strength of Queensland alone. But the anger and resentment does not stop at the Tweed; if the polls are to be believed, the coming rout will be nationwide unless, somehow, the rage against Gillard can be abated. And, if the examples of Anna Bligh and Kristina Kenneally are to be believed, it can’t – not after it has had nearly two years to fester and foment. Paul Keating in 1996 and John Howard in 2007 both discovered that once the voters have made up their minds, as shown by steady and unchanging rejection in the opinion polls for a year or more, recov-

opinion has already swung in that direction. Freed up to borrow, hit the trail of social reform. Get stuck straight into the Gonski report; education funding has been a scandal and a disgrace for far too long, a fact acknowledged by every unbiased commentator. Allot serious money to the public system and ignore the screams of the bloated private sector. And while you’re at it, do something to restore the purpose and prestige of the universities. At the other end of the scale, stop the tough talk about the unemployed and bring the Newstart allowance up to the general pension level. And in the wider context, get back on track to increase our foreign aid to 0.5 per cent of GNP. Then draw breath while preparing to tackle the overall taxation system. None of these ideas is controversial; the Greens and independents should support them, and if they don’t, at least you’ve tried – tried to do what Labor governments are meant to do rather than creep timorously up the middle of the road. The carbon tax might have been forced on you, but once on the board you had the guts to push it through. It’s time for more of the same – better to go out with a bang than a whimper. And who knows? The punters just might like it – a spot of genuine, bold reform, an honest acknowledgement of the pusillanimity of the past, a glimpse, at last, of the real Julia. At least it can’t make things any worse than they already are. Just think of it as a final tribute to your party’s great patriarch, Gough Whitlam: crash through or crash.

failings dominate their thinking. But after Queensland, even she must realise that it is just not going to happen. So why not, in the few short months remaining, go for broke. Forget about the polls, the focus groups and the media: just determine to act as much like a real Labor government as the Greens and independents will allow you to, and that’s actually quite a lot. The starting point, of course, is to break another promise – the reckless undertaking to provide a budget surplus in 2013. This was never a particularly smart idea but in the changed circumstances of 2012 it has become close to insanity. To achieve it, we would be looking at cuts to government spending of truly draconian proportions, the kind of cuts which could easily drop the entire economy into recession whatever the Reserve Bank might do about interest rates.

Bumper to bumper on bypassing Byron Bay (or not) Q I’m not surprised that Coun-

Q I

agree with the sentiments expressed by Tom Mooney (Letters, April 3) that the mini-bypass will create another gridlocked railway crossing and despoil the historic centre of town. Tom favours a railway crossing near the RSL club further down Jonson Street. It could be dubbed the ‘maxi’-bypass. However, the same process that will create gridlock on the mini-bypass would mean that the maxi -bypass would be gridlocked, too. That process is called induced traffic. Also known as generated traffic, it occurs when the increased efficiency and convenience of the new road encourages more car trips into town which are currently avoided or delayed now because of the Ewingsdale Road daily crawl. Induced traffic happens when attempts to decrease congestion by roadway improvement induces new vehicle trips which, in time, cancel out the improvements. When road capacity increases, the additional generated traffic reduces the congestion benefits. In the long term – about 12 to 18 months – the increase in road use leads to congestion at the same level as before. Induced traffic is well documented and backed by genuine evidence from Australia and overseas. Just google the term and read some of the research. As unpalatable as it may be, we are just wasting money hoping Cr Richard Staples to improve our traffic problems Talofa with a bypass. Incidentally, the

cil’s decision to progress the mis-named ‘mini-bypass’ is encountering some opposition from dug-in trenches and vested interests. However, in an imperfect world, this initiative represents good value for money. Origin–destination surveys show that it will hugely reduce congestion at the crucial Lawson-Jonson Street roundabout. It’s by no means a panacea for all of The Bay’s traffic problems, but in conjunction with making Shirley Street two lanes eastbound and achieving two lanes eastbound across the existing rail crossing (pushed for by our esteemed, erstwhile Cr Buck$) it will help. It will also open up the opportunity to relocate longdistance coaches (and their attendant hostel mini-buses) to the western side of the train station. Council actually had funding to do this once but dropped the ball. The current coach terminal is an accident waiting to happen. It was gratifying to get a positive response from the chamber of commerce. They acknowledge that after 20 years of talking, Council is actually going to do something. Also thank you, Don Page, for your promised support of state funding. All we need is to be able to acquire the land and hopefully get assistance to install boom gates and lights when we get our train back.

Seniors dance on

The letter from Gil Crespy last week made me laugh. Doesn’t he realise that seniors are the biggest population base on the planet? Why wouldn’t any business including Bluesfest want to cater to this age group? Hell, l’m 67 this year and because l take care of my health, l still want to dance to the music of my youth! Just remember, Gil, you will be a senior one day, only there won’t be as many of you. You’ll be lucky if there is any pension left for your generation let alone a senior’s discount card!

Lismore has heart

Oh Byron, how are you going to dig yourself out of being listed in the Top 5 worst suburbs in NSW for alcohol-related violence? Sounds even worse when you say it out loud. Your streets are alive but not with the hum of creativity and bohemia as was once the vibe in the past. Your overseas visi-

term ‘bypass’ is a misnomer because, as has been shown, 85 per cent of the traffic is heading into Byron town centre. Induced traffic can be avoided if the generalised cost to motorists in time or money does not decrease when new road capacity is added. Other towns and cities are putting these in place. Such strategies as congestion pricing, limiting and increasing the cost of parking, restricting new roads to special users and expanding and reducing the cost of public transport. The objectives of the Byron Bay Town Centre Traffic and Parking Management Project Reference Group recognise that a bypass is not a solution. Unfortunately most of the strategies it proposes – attempting to improve traffic throughput and increased parking in or close to town centre – are the opposite of what is needed to succeed in reducing congestion and will actually make it worse. Park-and-ride is one solution that needs to be looked at. Add a third lane to Ewingsdale Road and maybe Shirley Street that is exclusively for buses, taxis and emergency vehicles. Provide parking near the new sports grounds. Increase parking fees in town for visitors. This combination reduces the relative attraction of driving into town when a faster, more convenient mode is available. It also provides for emergency access for ambulance, police and fire brigade which in the current situation is a tragedy waiting to happen. A congest-

PS: The Echo was started on a shoestring by Nick Shand all those years ago to accurately report on Byron Shire Council meetings so we would all know what was going on. He sat in the council chambers for hours making notes and getting important information out to the community. His unbiased, accurate reporting helped to galvanise the commuity into action and win many battles. What happened to that important ideal? The trivial nonsense we get now about who is yelling what from the council gallery is little help with the challenges we face daily. No details or critical analysis of DAs or council policy. I won’t even start on the so-called editorials. The Byron community, and the many people who have worked so hard for decades to try to stop the place being destroyed by greed, deserve better.

Israel continues to excite debate Q Repetition

does not make truth. First to Gareth Smith’s ‘article’ on last week’s page 7. How did this get to be ‘news’? What poor taste, both in The Echo printing it and in Smith’s calling for a boycott outside a peaceful, soulful, visiting Israeli artist. Akin to ‘let’s throw out the baby out with the bath water’. Hey, attack any Israeli (or Jewish) person as that will make the Israeli government change their minds from what you think they may have done! While you’re at it, might as well stop using other Israeli products and technology: all mobile phones, wireless technology, Intel Pentium/Centrino chips, voice mail, most firewalls, polio vaccine, and a whole host of fundamental medical and chemistry innovations saving countless lives every day. And give up felafels. Now, on to lessons on what is true history from M Mizzi (Letters, April 3), the man who quotes bin Laden as an historical source. The fact remains there is little to be gained by getting lost in inaccurate historical claims and counter-claims, as Mr Mizzi is wont to do. What is relevant is the present – and the fact that the fundamental root of the conflict is the consistent Palestinian refusal to accept

Israel’s existence. Live and let live, from all sides. All the rest is commentary. Haven’t there been enough letters on this issue now? Surely there must be some more deserving subjects closer to our neck of the woods. Les Einhorn

Coopers Shoot

tive of annexing all of the West Bank. This process continues today with its shock troops being the ultra-religious settler movement which moves inexorably into the Arab territories, attacking the inhabitants, destroying their homes and crops, while protected by the Israeli army. The Israeli government fully supports this process while professing pious intentions of reconciliation, which it routinely sabotages. Meanwhile the USA makes constantly ignored demands on the Israeli government to desist, while still shovelling arms and money into Israeli coffers. There will be no change to this situation until the USA finds some moral courage and confronts their ultra-powerful Israel lobby which has seen off more American politicians than sex scandals. They also have to stare down their happy-clapper band of Christian Zionists who believe the Rapture (version of immanent Armageddon where they get a guernsey for the God team), depends of the Jews being in control of all the Palestinian territories.

 Q We are perhaps fortunate that Les Einhorn (Letters, March 27) did not give us his ‘tendentious history lesson’ on the land rights of Israel. Had he done so, his statement about ‘the inalienable right of the Jewish people to a Jewish state’ indicates it would be the one based on that impeccable source, the Bible’s old testament. True that there has been a Jewish presence in Palestine since biblical times but for the last thousand or so years it has been a very small minority. The current situation came about by an historical set of deceitful decisions and broken promises mainly by England, finally strongarmed through the UN by the USA. This imposed the state of Israel on a resentful Arab majority, which itself had been promised an auTom Tabart tonomous state. Bangalow This situation may have resolved itself had the new state Q M Mizzi is quite correct in of Israel not then embarked on saying that I focused on one a course of ethnic cleansing aspect of a letter he wrote.

page ad in the Byron News falsely implying that Council under the Greens had got itself in the red. As this was the last issue before the election the Greens were denied a right of reply. Not only that but under electoral law any election material has to be authorised by an individual; it is not enough to write ‘Authorised by Byron United’, which could refer to scores of people – or to nobody. In my opinion Mr Ahern as BU president skirted personal responsibility; certainly editor Gary Chigwidden should have known better than to permit

a clear breach of the Electoral Act. Add to this the fact that Mr Ahern had been quite content to allow Jan to open his (socalled) Green Garage some time earlier, and you’ll understand why she might have got a bit upset about pinning a badge of merit on him. In the event she did not attend. Questions remain about the process and the make-up of the committee that gave Mr Ahern the gong. When I’m mayor that process and choice will be reviewed by a senior lawyer. PS: Acting on a hunch I checked council’s press releases going back some weeks. Sur-

ment on the citing of Osama bin Laden as an authority. M Mizzi has entered the world of historical debate citing Osama, but also declaring that we have no evidence for Osama’s existence â€˜â€Śother than some‌ videos’. Careful now. You can’t have things both ways. Osama bin Laden was a dickhead and we have excellent evidence for his existence from a range of independent sources, including numerous journalists and his mum. This matters because M Mizzi is entering the wildfire debate over Israel. In historical debate we must first determine the reliability and biases, if any, of our sources. I will enter a single comment. In the area today known as Israel, various political regimes have dominated various ethnic groups, but to imply that all communities of Hebraic background were ever uniformly expelled is like saying there are no Walloons, Silesians, Flemings, Romanisch, Basques, Manx, or Gaelic Highlanders left in Europe. For goodness sake, there are Cimbri in Italy. Political authority does not imply population. Next summer, let’s have an open-air ding-dong debate about the history of Israel. It’ll be fun. Start studying now, kids. Matt Hartley

Byron Bay prise, surprise, there was nothing in there to alert the press about the code of conduct matter coming up; Jan herself had to issue a release. When I’m mayor the media liaison officer will either be made answerable to the elected council (rather than to the GM as at present) or it will be renamed the Staff Propaganda Unit. Fast Buck$

Letters it! It says ‘We wear our uniform with pride’ which is probably a new-age encouragement to do so because as far as I can see, most of the students don’t! In my opinion, school uniforms should be uniform and appropriate for school attendance. I often wonder why the students aren’t required to wear comfortable, smart, neat and appropriate clothing. Very short shorts, tight short skirts and tiny, revealing Tshirts are not appropriate for school. Neither is the motley collection of shirts and footwear with an occasional blue T-shirt that is the ‘uniform’. These clothing choices seem to me to show a lack of respect for the institution, the education opportunity and the staff, but perhaps it’s just part of rebellious youth. Pride in one’s school and the uniform may be an old-fashioned concept but it used to be compulsory and still is in other places. The cost of appropriate uniforms is not prohibitive and can’t be given as a reason, rather the culture of conforming to not wearing the school uniform dominates. Aren’t the school staff allowed to demand respectful attire? Mullum High has an enviable academic history and has produced many outstanding citizens, so please ‘wear the uniform with pride’ and look as proud as you can! Carole Gamble

Further water torture

recourse is available to us when hit by a bill from BSC’s Water and Recyling Division? I have witnessed a man reading my water meter from outside my four-foot Colourbond

fence by looking down for a few seconds and then moving on. I have often thought how he accurately reads my meter. The position that a resident in North Ocean Shores was placed in by BSC’s W&R operations division must have been very distressing. You arrive home from work to find a bill from BSC’s W&R operations division demanding the resident pay $10,000 plus for a damaged sewer junction. The letter of demand actually accused a contractor of causing the damage but the W&R operations division put the resident in the position where they had to pay the bill or take action against the contractor themselves. The case was heard by a small claims tribunal and the tribunal found there was insufficient evidence to hold the contractor responsible for the damage. Without the elected councillors interjecting and withdrawing these financial charges that were being placed on this resi-

dent by BSC’s W&R operations division, the resident would have been required to pay the bill despite BSC’s W&R identifying the contractor as causing the damage in their opinion. It would be interesting to know how many of the residents of Mullumbiimby have received a letter from BSC’s W&R operations division stating that they had faulty house connections and informing them they could get a plumber to carry out repairs in a given timeframe or Council would carry out the repairs and bill the resident. I wonder how many residents viewed the supposed damage to their sewer connections and also the repairs carried out prior to being charged for the repairs. Mr Faulkner, what percentage of the charges paid to BSC’s W&R division are injected into the general fund to help maintenance of community infrastructure?

a lot, but at least they are an articulate mob’. So smug was I, as we purchased two new vehicles shortly before our move up here from the big smoke thinking ‘we need something reliable in thum-thar hills for all the driving we’ll be doing. Two economical new cars will do the trick, to reduce running costs and live in an as eco-friendly way as possible. Then, as said vehicles went in for first postliving-in-paradise services, the reality hit home. My new tyres, wheel alignments and wheel balancing bills alone between our two vehicles have come close enough to funding a small nation’s power bills. And my carbon footprint has increased markedly as I stomp around the backyard in a frenzy, clutching my correspond-

ing credit card bills. Our road was actually ‘resurfaced’ last year. What that actually meant was a truck dumping a load of tar over the rutted and pot-holed road, so it was still as bumpy and er‌ rutted and pot-holed as ever, but jeez it was shiny and new-looking for a minute. I must commend the council staff completing the job. Nice fellows and not a hint of rudeness as I gently pointed out the irony and (from my perspective) futility of their task. We do also have a lovely ‘Roads to Recovery’ sign down the end of our road which I proudly point out when interstate visitors come to visit and impertinently complain that their dentures have fallen out on the drive from Bangalow to our place. I now fall about laughing

at the naivety of pre-Byron Bay me. And now I happily complain with all rest of you (justifiably) mad-as-hell local drivers.

We live on Bangalow Road, Byron Bay, and have also received a December water bill double the cost of our normal bills. We rang the council and were told that our water meter was replaced in November, which we were not told about at the time. So why was the meter replaced? Was it faulty and giving incorrect readings? It seems like quite a coincidence that Sharon Yarrington (Letters, April 3) and other Byron residents have had similar problems. The council won’t answer these questions; we can’t even query our bill as we aren’t the owners of the house. So let’s see if our real estate agent has any luck getting our bill sorted.

Hooker pavilion, and the other three were up on the grass in front of the surf club having a yarn. (The previous Sunday all eight were under the pavilion.) There were two recue boards, an inflatable dinghy, and a tractor and the flags were approximately 50 metres apart. And this is on a beach which, if you put Main and Belongil beaches together, stretches for at least a couple of kilometres and can get very crowded. After the tragic drowning of two men that day, only about 100 metres from the flagged area, we got the same old, same old from Surf Life Saving that if

they had been swimming within the flagged area this may not have happened. But the truth is that if everyone swimming off the beach last Sunday (and it was not at all crowded) had been swimming within the flags, there would not have been room to even stand up, much less swim. I personally fear for my life when I swim between the flags. You have more chance of serious injury from flying, out-of-control bodies there than anywhere else. Vigilance is necessary at all times and it is certainly not at all relaxing. This practice of corralling people into a minute section

of a huge beach may be very convenient for the lifesavers, but it totally ignores basic human psychology which naturally resists being herded like sheep and crowded together. It may be considered necessary if there were only one lifesaver available, but when there are eight of them, surely it makes much more sense to spread them out along the whole length of the beach on small towers, scanning the surf, as used to happen in the dim and distant past, or even patrolling on foot. In that way they would actually be able to see when a person was in trouble, hopefully before they drowned, rather

than just sitting, shooting the breeze, and waiting until a vigilant member of the public rushes up to tell them. While I do not in any way doubt their proficiency once in action, I do think it is time they got up off the laurels (and deck chairs!) that they have been resting on for so long, and did the job properly.

Powerful work

We all appreciate the range and wealth of creative talent that lives in or is attracted to this region, but how many of us know of their successes elsewhere?

Bangalow artist/composer Karena Wynn-Moylan and her gifted ensemble, co.sonance, performed their mixed-media tribute, The Ice Suite, to the great Scott of the Antarctic at the world-famous Mona Art Gallery in Hobart on March 29, celebrating the centenary of his journey. The performance was extraordinary in its delivery of a linear narrative through visual images, pre-programmed digital music, exquisite live violin accompaniment and Karena’s beautifully-paced and enunciated narration. Brian Ritchie’s playing of the shakuhachi (traditional Japanese bamboo

flute) filled the cavernous space of the Nolan Gallery with a rich, haunting sound that fittingly prepared us for what was to follow. The work touched the humanness in us: it was a powerful evocation of the human spirit and our connectedness with each other and the Earth. Final satellite images and sounds tracking Scott’s body under the ice were particularly powerful. This ensemble will perform this for local audiences midyear, hopefully at the Byron Community Centre. Keep an eye out for the date – it is a wonderful experience. Bravo, Karena! Sandra Thomson

Super stupa builder

Regarding the stupa in the grounds of the Crystal Castle. There’s been several congratulatory pieces in The Echo complete with photos and gushing comments on the significance of the good monks who blessed it and drew some nice pictures for the exterior. All very holy and spiritual sounding. But there’s been a consistent missing link, like, err... who actually designed and built the thing and why has he yet to be mentioned in any press release? Are they trying to convey the illusion that this holy world peace symbol arrived there by immaculate conception or perhaps through some kind of divine manifestation a la Sai Baba? Okay, this is Byron Shire, alright already! Even so, a small word of congratulation might be in order for Christopher Brown, builder extroadinaire and ‘Dome-shells technology’ proprietor who drew up all the plans, built the moulds and components by hand (all of them unique). Not only that, he then managed the entire construction of this difficult and unwieldy build, on a site attendant with the usual ‘outdoor build in odd places’ hassles every step of the way. It would have been a proper and generous thing to do to acknowledge the innovation, degree of difficulty, hard work and talent of the man who actually made this extraordinary building. Om Shanti!

Ten important things you don’t know about Council Jim Beatson

Due to the powers determined by the state government’s Local Government Act our elected councillors have no say in the day-to-day operations of Council. Under the LGA, councillors determine policy, not operations. Can our councillors do anything about it? No. By law (the Local Government Act) our councillors cannot interfere in the day-to-day work of council staff. The only power our elected councillors have in this regard is the power to select and dismiss general managers. Both require a majority vote on Council. Do Green councillors control Council? No. Since 2004 the Greens with four of Council’s nine council members are the largest bloc on Council but are a minority. The Greens can only pass council resolutions if they gain support from some of the other five councillors. Is Byron Shire Council broke? No. Despite inheriting a massive debt from the conservative pro-development Byron Shire councils of the 1990s Mayor Barham’s prudent minority Green council has paid off this inherited debt leaving Byron Shire Council in a solvent but always tight financial position. Byron Shire of accommodation during the winter months and register to vote while you have a residential address; then you will be permitted to change to itinerant voter within the electorate – after you are evicted in the name of ‘tourism’. Forms are available from the post office. Even if you have no intention of voting for this candidate, enrol and exercise your right to vote. Don’t just whinge about the council – participate in the change. I take for granted that business owners are enrolled to vote and will exercise their purchased right to vote in council elections. This candidate is not anti-business – local residents need local services and local jobs. However, if you are a residential property owner who is unlawfully renting residential properties as ‘holiday letting’ (‘tourist’ accommodation) – do not vote for this candidate. PS: Please note – the name on the ballot paper will be ‘Morgan’, not ‘Pagan Morgan’. Morgan

Q

www.echo.net.au

Council’s finances are in much better shape than most other NSW councils, including some on our borders. Why is our council, like other NSW councils, so poor? Because both Liberal and Labor NSW state governments have failed to adequately fund local government infrastructure by (1) not matching income to essential local government

costs and (2) transferring assets (eg roads) and responsibilities (eg welfare spending) to local councils without providing funding for their maintenance or infrastructure. The most recent figures available show NSW government shortfalls in funding local maintenance for infrastructure is around $500 million per year (compared with $80 million in Victoria) or

between $2 million to $4 million per council per year. The combined NSW local government backlog of underspending or shortfall on essential infrastructure when last studied (in 2006) was $6.3 billion compared with $0.8 billion in Victoria. NSW is the only state where state government pegs rates below the cost of living (CPI).

Doesn’t our council waste lots of money fighting decisions legally that are lost in the courts? No. Byron Council’s legal expenses have gone down in the last few years. However, Council tries to respond to community opinion when determining local planning issues, including when dealing with individual developers willing to spend vast sums. This does present major challenges when determining council legal action. Byron is NSW’s second-biggest tourist destination (after Sydney/Blue Mountains) with around two million visitors annually. These visitors provide us with jobs but almost no income for Council. Why? Because while our minority Green council has protected us from Gold Coast/ Noosa/Coffs Harbour style high-rise, those tourist destinations have high-rise accommodation outlets which pay big rates and because our holiday makers contribute little or nothing towards the costs of tourism: overflowing bins, poor facilities in recreation areas, etc. Our Shire has the annual highest rainfall in NSW. With around 200 full-sized coaches per week on our roads and around two million visitors per year, neither of which con-

tribute to our Council for road upkeep, no wonder we are the pothole capital of NSW. Why don’t we have a bed tax? A bed tax is the easiest way to pay the huge impost that our primary employer, tourism, imposes on Council but it is currently not included in the Local Government Act which governs Council finances – although Labor did introduce one for Sydney during the Olympic Games. A local bed tax set as low as between 50 cents and $1 per visitor/night would easily cover tourism’s impost on local ratepayers. Bed taxes are common in the US and are now being introduced in Europe as a user-pay mechanism for local government to recoup tourism costs. The dominant force shaping commerce and politics in Byron is our tourism industry. Its impact on our economy and employment is hard to underestimate. Increasing tourism only adds to its drain on Council resources. How to support tourism but get better value from tourism for all of our community and particularly reduce its drain on Council finances must be addressed. Jim Beatson is a member of Byron Shire Council’s Tourism Advisory Committee.

Not welcoming

I feel sad that this shire is not as welcoming to sole parents, that is, a mother and child looking to rent a home, especially when areas like Mullum feel so nurturing and family orientated. I feel that there is judgment without even giving us a chance. I have been looking for a good home for us for ages and most landlords say no straight away when they hear the word ‘kid’, let alone a twoyear-old. We are reliable folk, respectful and financially secure, so come on… Shelter is a basic human need. Give everyone a go. Nitya Ratna

Did you put all your Easter eggs in one basket?

Over the last 14 years in financial services, I have heard of many investments and strategies that don’t quite work out the way they were supposed to. Think aptly named Storm financial: what a storm indeed; or Fincorp: if you see a fin, don’t go in! Nobody can predict the future and as no-one is perfect things can and do go wrong, sometimes terribly wrong when it involves your life savings. The trick is to avoid surprises! I am often asked if I think a certain share or investment is any good. My usual answer is know! Generally speaking, the more you need to know about certain types of investment, the greater the risk. Mortgage funds are a classic example. Many years ago one of my good friends told me that he had all his money in a local mortgage fund and wanted to know what type of return I could get on his money – his only concern was the return. My answer was, ‘I can get you this or that. It depends; would you like a surprise with that?’ When I dug a little deeper I

Here is a quick snapshot of the number of my clients I recommended to participate in the investments and strategies that have made the news for various reasons over the last decade.

discovered that he was effectively using a mortgage fund as a place to save for a year or so before doing something else with the money! Who could blame him? I recall ads on local TV suggesting one particular mortgage fund with high interest was a good place to save for a holiday. A mortgage fund where investors would be prudent to take a long-term view of 5–7 years plus, given the nature of the investment. So every time you invest 1 it would be wise to consider it tucked away for the next five years at least. Unless you intend to travel five years after your last dollar is saved, probably best to use some other form of savings account with greater access for faster withdrawals. As such I recommended a high-interest savings account that had a slightly lower rate of return compared to the mortgage fund, but also had a massive reduction in risk involved. The return was not enough for my friend and he kept his money in the mortgage fund. I don’t intend to ask how his plans ended up.

If you know all the risks then you shouldn’t be surprised if, all of a sudden, you can’t get quick access to your money, or you can’t get it at all! My role as an adviser when recommending investments is to determine how much risk you can handle amongst other things and impart knowledge about appropriate investments that would suit your comfort level.

FX Maths Lesson Here: We live on an island and everything coming in or going out is paid for in a currency not our own. There’s a lot of money crossing borders, every day. Every second of every day. In each of those seconds in each of those days the rate is shifting. Like standing at the water’s edge in the ocean, the sand moving under you all the time means to keep your balance you best be paying attention. No-one on the beach expects yesterday’s sandcastle to still be there today but the vast majority of us are naïve, if not totally clueless, as to how the world’s money markets operate. The global stock market is an enormous entity where vast amounts of wealth are lost (more often than not lately) and gained at any given time in a trading day, but consider the money markets are 200 times bigger than the world’s stock markets, and realise the impression that money is ‘worth something’ in a real sense, is quite wrong. Movement is constant and can be wild, if not in a day then over a week. Need AU5000 worth of Euro cash for your overseas trip, to send US300,000 to a supplier, or receive an inheritance of 80,000 UK pounds? I’m talking to you. Are you aware the market rate can move to the point where you have lost or gained hundreds (if not thousands – see below) of dollars on those exact foreign amounts in the space of hours, let alone days ? Do you understand the TV and internet rate means very little in terms of what you’ll receive at retail point of purchase or sale of your currency? Do you know you can ‘shop around’ for a better rate in the same way you can shop around for a better price on a car? Our lack of knowledge regarding foreign exchange is largely encouraged by our banking and finance sector because – wait

for it – it means they can offer us, the perceived ‘captive’ client, almost whatever rate/s they choose. These rates often bear little resemblance to market rates. Some major Australian banks regularly post better cash sell rates than IMT rates, meaning it would be cheaper to purchase your US300K in cash than transfer it. A physical product costing less than a virtual one ? That is ‘nuts’ from an industry perspective. But if the majority of your clients don’t understand, either in theory or in actual dollars lost from their pocket, well that is all the better from a bank manager’s point of view.

Time for some maths: US100,000 IMT to China today (29/03/2012) BANK 1 Rate: 0.9928 AU100725.22 + AU25 fee = AU100750.22 BANK 2 Rate: 0.9959 AU100411.68 + AU25 fee = AU100436.68 BANK 3 Rate: 0.9998 AU100020.00 + AU25 fee = AU100045.00 BANK 4 Rate: 1.0034 AU99661.15 + AU25 fee = AU99686.15 Byron Bay FX Provider Rate: 1.0257 AU97494.39 + AU0 fee = AU97494.39 A customer of bank 1 has paid AU3255.83 more than the FX provider’s customer for the same amount of money and service. All of the above providers have an AFS Licence and are members of the same client protection groups (do not forget to ask for these; some operators are not licensed or regulated and cannot guarantee your money).

Funds for renovations/ pool/holiday? We can make this possible! Maybe your house is starting to show wear and tear or maybe you need to build an extension so you have enough room for the family; or maybe you want to build a pool before next summer; or maybe you just want the kitchen or bathroom you’ve always dreamed of. What is holding you back? Are you waiting until you’ve saved enough money? If you have an existing loan on your property, wait no longer! You might be able to refinance your existing loan and draw out additional funds to help you get that extra 10,000 or 50,000 or whatever amount you need to make your house just the way you want it. How does refinancing to borrow extra funds work? It’s very simple. The bank/broker organises a valuation of your property and then you are able to lend up to a maximum of 90 per cent of your house value. This will enable you to increase your loan if you have enough equity in the property to cover the costs of your renovations or plans. For example, clients of mine recently wished to build a pool. This required 33,000 which they did not have available in savings. They purchased their property in 2007 for

<echowebsection=Business and Finance>

349,000 and their home loan was 300,000. In 2011 their property had increased in value up to 390,000. This gave them plenty of equity to borrow the funds needed to build their pool. We refinanced their loan, finding the most competitive rate / loan product for them and we were able to add the additional funds needed on top of their existing borrowings. Because of finding them a better loan package there was barely a difference in their repayments – even though we had added an extra 40,000 onto their loan. Four months down the track they have spent the extra money and their pool is complete and ready for next summer. This could be you – renovations, extensions, landscaping, pool… the list goes on. We can refinance your existing home loan to get you the extra cash to make your property your dream home! Give Zain a call today!

A touch of France in Mullumbimby To his great surprise David Lovejoy is charmed by French cuisine Louise and Bruno Pouget opened La Table in Mullumbimby at the end of 2008. The couple had come from France two years earlier. Bruno, from Provence, learned his trade in the great restaurants of the Mediterranean resorts, and when they arrived he started out working in some of the better Byron Bay kitchens. When they were ready to create their own restaurant they had a clear vision of what they wanted to achieve: the provincial French experience with good food, good wine, talk and laughter. There were to be no short-cuts. Everything should be sourced and grown locally (so the menu has to change often), and everything has to be made on the premises: bread and pastry of course, but even ice-cream. The food must be organic, and every last scrap, container and shard of glass carefully recycled. Round about now, over three years later, a cynic might be thinking that this idealistic French couple would have been forced to compromise. Nobody can survive if they don’t cut some corners. Surely a few lazy items have crept into the menu, surely there are a few suppliers patronised for cheapness rather than excellence? Not at all: the integrity of the

vision is still sustained. It is to the great credit of Bruno and Louise that everyone who dines at La Table realises that there is something unique happening here – a French restaurant in Mullumbimby (of all places!) operating proudly and scrupulously from first principles. The cynic’s last throw might be price. How can a restaurant with the values of sustainability work profitably unless its prices are high? Well, La Table might charge a little more than the local pubs, but its menu is not expensive: less than $50 for three courses compares well with other Shire establish-

ments and is much less than you would pay in a similar capital city restaurant. However they achieve it, Bruno and Louise are creating a wonderful North Coast dining experience. Dishes change every two weeks, to reflect precisely what is available at the local markets, so there is little danger of eating through the menu. For the same reason, it would be pointless to praise here the succulence of the beef cheek in puff pastry we enjoyed last time; the next visit will disclose yet another delicacy.

La Table is not one of those ‘well-kept secrets’ (a synonym for being unpopular). The prestigious Herald Good Food Guide has included a glowing review every year since 2009 and people come from far and wide to enjoy Bruno’s imaginative cuisine, and the warm and attentive service provided by Louise and her staff. But the real beneficiaries of La Table, and its associated next-door cafĂŠ, are the folk of Mullumbimby who can enjoy one of the best parts of French culture without going further afield than Burringbar Street.

Study investigates role of native bees in vegetable crops ‘Research into the benefits of native bees is not only of benefit to the seed industry, but to the broader horticulture sector. ‘Developing better quality and yielding seeds may have significant benefits for the food industry and vegetable growers in the future.

‘Compared to enclosed pollination with honeybees the study found that hybrid seed production of carrot and leek in particular was enhanced when grown outside.’ The AUSVEG national R&D database can be accessed at www.ausveg.com.au.

A new study has investigated the role that our native bees can play in increasing the yield and quality of vegetable seeds like carrots and leek. The Development of native bees as pollinators of vegetable seed crops study undertaken by the University of Adelaide is one of a large range of studies to be published on the vegetable industry’s R&D database this month. AUSVEG spokesperson Andrew White said the study was one of around several hundred that took place every year to ensure Australians were eating vegetables that had been produced using the most cost-effective, efficient, and innovative methods of food production. ‘As part of the study, over two years 36 species of nawww.echo.net.au

tive bees were caught, and 26 species were observed to try to identify possible native bee pollinators of leek and carrot in hybrid seed production,’ Mr White said. ‘Promoting the positive benefits of native bees when there is suboptimal pollination from honeybees may be significant and this study provided evidence of some good results when crops were exposed to native bee populations in addition to honeybees. ‘The study also found that growers can do a range of things to improve native bee populations at their properties such as minimising tillage to protect nests, planting windbreaks made up of native flowering plants and protecting flowering plants and nest sites.

Back to Broadway The Northern Rivers Symphony Orchestra is presenting their first concert extravaganza for 2012 on Sunday 22 April at South Tweed Sports Club at 2.30pm. Revisit the splendour of the Broadway era with musical highlights such as Les Miserables, Oklahoma and Phantom Of The Opera, with Gold Coast ‘diva’ Liza Beamish as guest soloist partnered by wonderful tenor Andrew Pryor. We interviewed Liza before one of our rehearsals. What appeals to you about performing with an orchestra such as NRSO? When I came to the Tweed, I had no idea that such a wonderful orchestra existed in the area. I was absolutely delighted when I was asked to perform with NRSO about six or seven years ago. Even more delighted to discover that the conductor was none other than Barry Singh, a fellow classmate from the [Queensland] Conservatorium! What is the most significant highlight of your career? If i had to choose only one thing as a highlight, i think it would be performing in North Korea. Seeing a country which is effectively cut off from the rest of the world and surrounded by mystery was a privilege i won’t quickly forget.

Who is your favourite opera singer? I don’t have a favourite performer; there are so many gifted singers who are fabulous to listen to. However, for sheer technical brilliance, i still think la Stupenda (Dame Joan Sutherland) stands alone! If you would like to see Liza Beamish performing live with the NRSO, you can purchase tickets online through our website www.nrso.com.au or by phoning 07 5513 1083 or 07 5536 6063.

Skin & Body by Jodie Come into the serene relaxed space Jodie has created in Be Waxed & Tanned by Carla Preston. And you’ll experience first hand the divine nurturing treatments Jodie Cope has to offer. With more than 17 years working in Australia’s leading spas, both local and interstate, Jodie’s treatments combine both her experience and intuition.

Zoo’s Poo-Powered Rickshaw Teddy Roosevelt famously said ‘Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.’ The folks at the Denver Zoo must have thought he was talking crap. The zoo happens to have a lot of animal dung on hand where it is, and via its own patentpending gasification tech it is doing what it can, introducing a poo-powered rickshaw that turns animal waste and human trash into mobility. The rickshaw was purchased from Thailand and modified to run on gasified pellets created by the zoo’s own technology. The gasification technology was designed by three full-time zoo employees working with the National Renewable Energy Lab, as well as a few other companies and agencies. It’s a home-grown, DIY system that could be exported to anywhere else animal waste is in abundance and energy is needed. This particular rickshaw has already been exported, landing at the Association of Zoos and Aquariums in Palm Desert, California, this week. Source: www.popsci.com.au Accessed April 7, 2012

THERE ARE SOME DAYS WHERE YOU JUST CAN’T GET OUT OF BED, IT FEELS LIKE THE WHOLE WORLD IS CONSPIRING TO SEND YOU UNDER. SINGER/SONGWRITER LOU BRADLEY WALKS BACK INTO SAE STUDIO TO RECORD HER THIRD ALBUM THIS WEEK, AND WITH WHAT’S BEEN GOING DOWN IN LOU’S WORLD, IT’S TESTAMENT TO HER SPIRIT AND THE TRIUMPHANT NATURE OF HER WORK. Says Lou: ‘In 2010/2011, I lost nearly everything that I had hold of as the ‘perfect me, perfect mum and perfect life’. I lost a baby, my house (that I was suppose to live happily ever after in with my family) and my record deal which was suppose to make me famous (because my batch of demos for my new album weren’t ‘country’ enough)... not to mention my self worth. After kicking and screaming, arguing with the gods and whoever else I thought was out to get me, and pulling all the punches I had done in my life previously to hang on to something as tightly as I could, it all just slipped away anyway. As if there was a greater force beyond my control.’ Lou believed that surrendering was easier than fighting, because sometimes in life you have to let it all wash over you. ‘So after I have let these changes finally happen, I have begun to get a new life back. And surprise surprise – it ain’t as bad as I thought it was going to be. We’re not dead. And happiness really is a state of mind. And it’s true what they say – when one door closes, another one opens (even though I wanted to stab each person that said that to me at the time).’ It was Lou’s songwriting that she believed gave her the strength to pull it all together. ‘Writing songs is what I do best, and that didn’t stop all throughout this life pivot. In fact, it became so prolific that I couldn’t ignore it anymore and one night while I was sitting in the car waiting for my daughter to finish netball training, I decided to give the music biz a bit of a poke (even though it was still dammed to hell in my book) and see what local talent we had in the way of producers.’ ‘It took me all of five minutes before I found myself emailing local producer Anthony Lycenko. Amongst many artists, Anthony has worked with Elvis Costello, U2, Geoff Emerick (only The Beatles’ engineer) and

in Australia with Pete Murray. As I emailed Anthony, I vowed to not get ‘sucked in’ and tell him straight about who I was and what I had done, my ARIA nomination, record deal, and now how I thought the music industry was a big load of shit. But still I had a whole bunch of songs and about five bucks and wondered if he wanted to make a record without all the bells and whistles, because frankly I couldn’t bear to conform or to do it any other way. Of course I assumed he wouldn’t answer me and put me in the ‘Mullum crack pot’ basket... but five minutes after I hit send, he replied saying that my email was the best introduction email he had ever had and wanted to make a record. I insisted that he at least listen to the demos before committing.’ Lou has worked hard to get the money together for her recording, in fact if you haven’t seen her busking

somewhere then you obviously never leave your home! ‘We are recording live to tape and I have invited my most favourite musos to be a part of it. Rod Coe (double bass and old school EMI in-house producer and producer of The Saints), BJ Barker (drummer for Kasey Chambers for 20 years and played on my first record), Bill Chambers (Kasey’s dad and best dobro player in the country and has played on both my previous albums) and my boring husband Phil... who picks the best banjo and mandolin that I have ever heard. Anthony will produce and engineer the record live to tape at Rocking Horse studios and at home – old-school style!’ While Lou can be found busking around the shire, you can catch Bill Chambers at the Mullum Bowlo on Saturday 21 April.

And as he pondered just what banner to release these songs under, thoughts of the hundreds of thousand of albums bought and cherished, the hundreds of thousands of faces, from thousands of gigs over many a year and the 75,000 Facebook buddies, floated to the front of his mind. The decision was clear: the album would be released under his most honest of monikers, his own name, and it would be a gift. Free. No catch. No bullshit.

The band has been likened to everything from the Pogues and the Clash to early Midnight Oil. Releasing their fifth, and eponymous, long-player this March, The Go Set will be taking their incendiary sounds across the nation from February. A live proposition that needs to be seen and felt to be believed, the band has performed at Australia’s best venues and festivals including the Forum Theatre, Falls Festival, Pyramid Rock, Queenscliff Music Festival, Port Fairy Folk Festival, Apollo Bay and St Kilda Festival.

With her first two albums each selling 11 times platinum in her home country, top-ten hits in Australia, Japan and Ireland and critical success in the UK, Bic Runga is one of the highestselling artists in New Zealand music history. The five years since her last album of new material have passed quickly, at least for Bic. You could say life intervened – specifically the birth in 2007 of her son. ‘Motherhood is very nice.

CHURCHILL IN MULLUM

CALSKI AT THE BEACH HOTEL ON FRIDAY

At just 21 years of age, Kim Churchill is revered worldwide for his guitar talents, with a technique and lyrical outlook far beyond his years. His style is unique and explosive, with intricate fingerpicking, percussive beats on the body of the guitar, and two-handed tapping intertwined with a 24inch kick drum, electronic snare trigger, cascading harmonica melodies, and soulful voice. Having played for more than a decade, Kim’s career kicked off in 2009 after high school, busking and travelling Australia in a campervan to share his music with friends and strangers alike. Since then, he has won the National Youth Folk Artist of the Year award in 2009, been selected from hundreds by the Byron Bay Bluesfest Busker competition in 2010, and was added twice to the famous festival’s lineup in 2011, sharing the main stage with Xavier Rudd, Michael Franti, Ben Harper, Paul Kelly and the great Bob Dylan. He has also performed at The Falls Festival, Woodford Folk Festival and Queenscliff Music Festival among others, and in the last 12 months has taken his show to Japan, Canada, the UK and the US.

EMMY & KATE AT THE BREWERY

THE GIRLS PLAY AT THE BYRON BREW ERY BUDDHA BAR ON SUNDAY

s r a t S WITH LILITH

This week’s Sun and Uranus in the sign of independence reminds us all that the first to apologise is the bravest, the first to forgive the strongest, and the first to forget the happiest…

Two of indie pop’s newest darlings, Emmy Bryce and Kate Vigo, are proud to announce their upcoming co-headline tour. The girls met in late 2011 and immediately connected over their mutual passion for music. After spending some time together, the pair decided to team up and create a new live music experience for their fans. Moving from town to town, making new best friends every day and bonding with everything around you – life on the road is a truly magical experience for any artist. Inspired by this, Emmy and Kate wanted to come up with a way to forge closer relationships with their fans and let them in on the fun of touring. The Girls play at the Byron Brewery Buddha Bar on Sunday.

E ARIES: Being happy’s a habit, just like being miserable – take your pick, because this week’s success depends entirely on you. Cooperation, negotiating fair compromises and being a team player will work wonders. Why paint situations into a corner by issuing ultimatums? Leave yourself and others room to move. F T AURUS: The present cosmic cattle prod activates the issue of toxic nostalgia, that condition we all occasionally fall into of defending an outdated version of ourself. Time to move on and modernise. Your boss planet Venus in sprightly Gemini likes to socialise, and this week so will you. G G EMINI: While you could easily knock everyone’s socks off with your articulate communication, right now it’s more advisable to avoid strife, arguments and volatile situations. This week’s angsty citizens also happen to be suckers for sweet talk, so oil up those Gemini charm channels and apply liberally. H CANCER: Retro Pluto intensifies partnership issues for a significant makeover of your relationship to life, the universe and everything: friends, colleagues, significant others, home and career path, involving the inevitable peaks and troughs, skyrocketing highs and plummets. This week’s advice for Aries also applies…

YOU COULD BE FAME-OUS The Tweed Theatre Company are putting on a production of Fame, the musical and they are looking for singers, actors and dancers to fill the roles. If you think you have what it takes and can get away with lycra and a headband, then call 07 5536 2556.

DRAWING ON WOMEN Dr Sketchy’s Anti Art School returns to the Byron Brewery Buddha Bar for a night of sketching, drinking, music, high-brow glamour and low-brow laughs this Tuesday. Continuing Dr Sketchy’s policy of making life-drawing fun and sexy, there’s another gorgeous lineup of wonderful burlesque models and performers. Returning to stalk the catwalk as our beautiful MC is the notorious Miss Mae Wilde. Mae is back from entertaining the troops and is eager to put into practice her ALI DARLING, ONE OF THE controversial crowd-control BURLESQUE MODELS AT DR techniques as our creative SKETCHY’S ON TUESDAY gaggle of ne’er-do-wells and absinthe-addicts are whipped into the inevitable frenzy by our tantalising models. Dazzling Miss BB LeBuff will be celebrating all things sweet and fruity with her characteristic charisma and playful sensuality. BB is a crowd favourite and has modelled and performed for Dr Sketchy several scrumptious times! As always, she must decline the inevitable proposals of eternal devotion from our, understandably, smitten art-monkeys. Also gracing the stage is the glorious Miss Ali Darling. Ali will break the hearts of those not already crushed by BBs dismissals. Ali’s hypnotic combination of statuesque grace and smouldering pinup tease will have our gin-loving, pencil-wielding audience of Fez-bothering inebriates reeling!

LITTLE BIG SHOTS A gorgeous six one-hour sessions of short movies that will keep children aged two to fifteen intelligently glued in the holidays. Star Court Theatre presents Little Big Shots International Film Festival for Kids, in three gorgeous one-hour sessions with hand-picked favourites and shorts from across the globe. Unlike the experience of attending a blockbuster kids’ flick at the local multiplex, where follow-up activities might be limited to buying a gimmicky toy or snacks, Little Big Shots offers kids a truly fun and nourishing experience that encourages them to express and develop their ideas. The films screening in Little Big Shots and the accompanying learning experiences can be used to develop a range of screen literacy concepts including narrative, setting, character, complication, resolution, audience, framing, shots, and camera angles. They can also inspire discussion of world cultures, different languages, cultural diversity, needs

I L EO: This party-hearty week is just your personal and social style, with its charming entourage of encouraging new offers and attractive proposals. Endof-week Mars moving forward again is your signal to listen to your business instincts, put on your practical hat and get cracking. J V IRGO: With the year already more than a quarter gone on taking care of basics, Mars finally moving forward again in your sign this week brings a highoctane burst of positive, productive energy. A plan you abandoned could get a constructive turnaround via unexpected funding. K L IBRA: With credit, investments and financial resources a sore point, this week’s beneficial configurations stimulate a breakthrough for Librans in the dollar-earning department. Plus its affectionate vibes are excellent for playing catchup with those who love spending time in your company. L S CORPIO: This week improves communications and relieves much of the recent interpersonal tension, but it’s still advisable to avoid being the meat in the sandwich of other people’s problems. You’ve already got plenty on your plate with a variety of dominant types wanting to run the show…

<echowebsection=Entertainment>

M S AGITTARIUS: This week’s astral impetus leans towards deleting frenemies from your circle – a frenemy being someone with the status of friend who’s really secretly in competition with you. Usually for one of two reasons: either they see you as a threat, or they want to be you. N C APRICORN: The word most associated with Pluto is purge, but this week’s Pluto retrograding in Capricorn needn’t initiate a gloom attack. Its upside? A massive release of old habit patterns. An intense personal growth spurt. A serious, in-depth makeover. A whole new Capricornian gestalt currently in production… O A QUARIUS: This exuberant, let’s-do-it week has you buzzing with new enthusiasms. Though it also brings pushy, petulant, self-centred people into your orbit – but why let them ruin your jubilant mood and spritzy spirits? Hilarious Aquarian Barry Humphries has this week’s best directive: Eat, Pray, Laugh! P PISCES: Using astrologer Jan Spiller’s model, see this week’s triangle as baseline point A on one side representing you, B on the other end something you’re in conflict with, and C at the peak as the big-pic perspective allowing decisions that balance both sides. Nice one, Jan.

CHESS by Ian Rogers Play at Byron Services Club, Mon 7pm Hungarian great Lajos Portisch (pictured) celebrated his 75th anniversary this week, with accolades from around the world. Portsich has been a top class player for half a century, leading Hungary to an historic team gold at the 1978 Chess Olympiad – the only time that the USSR’s dominance at the Chess Olympiads was upset after WWII. Portisch was often a contender for the world title but could never survive the cut-throat Candidates matches. A contemporary and friend of Bobby Fischer, especially when the American found himself stranded in Hungary after his sanctions-busting 1992 match against Boris Spassky in Yugoslavia, Portisch said, ‘Fischer was the first individual player to break the Soviet hegemony and he did it alone. I know how difficult that was. We were both in the same boat, although he was sitting at the front of the boat and I was sitting at the back.’ Portisch tends towards reticence, but when he speaks, with

his powerful baritone voice, people listen. At a key Grandmasters Association meeting, Portisch was even willing to use himself as proof that serious rating inflation had hit the world ranking system, pointing out that he had his highest rating in the late 1980s although he had been a significantly stronger player years earlier. Last week Portisch was competing again, finishing second behind ‘youngster’ Robert Hübner in a birthday tournament for another contemporary, Wolfgang Uhlmann. Portisch’s ranking may have slipped in recent years, but, like Viktor Korchoi, he remains a rare player able to maintain his competitive spirit into his later years.

1. The very talented Alan Bates and Janet Suzman star in the very dark comedy A Day in the Death of Joe Egg (ABC2, Saturday, 8.30pm), from the award-winning 1967 work by English playwright Peter Nichols. It’s a dialogue-driven tour de force about a married couple whose little girl, Josephine, is confined incommunicado to a wheelchair by cerebral palsy. The wife gives her life to the child while the husband fantasises about having the child institutionalised or even killing himself and Josephine. 2. It will be interesting to see how James Cameron’s sci-fi epic Avatar (TEN, Sunday, 8.30pm) translates to the small screen. Basically, the humans are stuffing up the planet of Pandora with their mining and rogue Marine, Jake Sully, well played by the ever-reliable Australian Sam Worthington, goes to the aid of the native people, the Na-avi. It has some stunning CGI FX, is overlong and its good environmental intentions are tainted by spiritual flimflam, though it’s tempting to be drawn into the anthropomorphic tendency to regard a planet as ‘conscious’ like us. The truth of natural selection, or natural elimination, is best expressed by the film’s character Colonel Miles Quaritch: ‘Out there beyond that fence every living thing that crawls, flies, or squats in the mud wants to kill you and eat your eyes out for jujubes.’

F L Q H P D UHY L HZ The Lorax

This is a lovely movie with There comes a time when a crucial message. you must make some Ted (voiced attempt to stop being a by Zac Efron) nark, if only temporarily; the is a twelvefact that this adaptation of year-old boy a pro-environment story who, in order written by Dr Seuss some to impress forty-odd years ago has the beautiful been distributed by a global Audrey (Taylor industry that would put its Swift), goes in search of a own bottom line before the survival of the last baby koala real tree to plant in their treeless, plastic city of should be ignored. When Thneedville (where they the future of the planet is at have taken paradise and stake, it’s more important put up a parking lot). Mr that kids learn something positive than it is for carping O’Hare (Rob Riggle), the critics to concern themselves squat entrepreneur with the with shooting the messenger. Moe haircut, has made his fortune by selling bottled air (is there anybody else who thinks that bottled water is the greatest con ever?), and the last thing he wants is for trees, with their capacity to produce oxygen, to make a comeback. To help him in his quest, Ted must consult the Lorax (Danny DeVito), the legendary guardian of the natural world, who tells him of the Once-ler (Ed Helmes), a hillbilly kid who, in the past, amassed enormous wealth by cutting down all the trees. The immorality of corporate power in its dealings with the conservation movement is obvious enough to have got up the nose of Rupert Murdoch’s Fox henchmen, who see the film as ‘indoctrination of our children’ – so it must be doing something right. The two tales – of Ted and, in flashback, the Onceler – skip along at a pace appropriate for its audience; the animation is simple but beautifully coloured (the trees are like pink fairy-floss); the characters are clearly defined and the toons irresistibly boppy. And in the end, Ted gets his kiss from Audrey. ~ John Campbell

first – the numbskulls who hoist their smelly feet onto the seats in front of them and spend the next hour and a half checking their Facebook page while laughing uproariously at any mention of the word penis, or the numbskull movie designed to cater to this endlessly uninteresting clientele? Dumping us without preamble in the deep end of the bum-crack tattooed zeitgeist, the first scene has Jim (Jason Biggs) slam his laptop down on his dick when his little boy enters the bedroom to catch Dad masturbating. Meanwhile, in the ensuite, Mom (Alyson Hannigan) is in the tub getting into a frothy lather with the showerhead between her legs. Not long after that you see all of Jim’s genitalia when, in an attack of modesty, he covers himself with the see-through lid of a kitchen pot. Barely fifteen minutes were gone and already I was laying short odds about walking before the closing credits. Then again, I didn’t get much out of American Pie 1 and 2 (I missedAP: The Wedding – what could I have been thinking?), so I approached the cinema with grave misgivings. With Jim and Michelle now married, the gang from 1999 has come together for a highschool reunion (has that ever been a good idea?). Naturally they all have their secrets and problems, none of which amount to a hill of beans, though in the case of Stifler (Seann William Scott) – no prizes for guessing the double entendre made of his name – you really do want to give the guy a smack in the chops for his misogyny and )5,'$< 7+ 6$785'$< 7+

general nastiness. But what is most depressing about the whole fiasco is the continuing appeal, to so many, of the bloke who can’t or won’t grow up – these characters are thirteen years older, but as stupid and boorish as when they were teenagers.

The focus of the piece was on wine – specifically a Northern Rhone Viognier – but what drew me in, perhaps naturally, was the dish suggested to accompany it. Butterpoached lobster with black forbidden rice, papaya and madras curry simply dazzled me with its exotic, luxurious ingredients in a way that so few menus manage to do. Forbidden rice is only one type of black rice, an heirloom variety grown at earlier times in history and certainly not on a large scale in modern agriculture. One source suggests its name was acquired because only emperors in ancient China were allowed to eat it due to its rarity and high nutritional value. Once cooked, its blackness turns to deep purple as does the water in which it has simmered. Its flavour is rich and nutty, its colour owing to the outer coating of black bran. And to be sure – thanks to the glorious contrast of colours – it is often served alongside white fish : I can well imagine how sublime the match with lobster (and naturally Viognier) would be. There are, apparently, about 40,000 varieties of rice, although most of us are really only familiar with a handful of those (and wild rice, being a seed, does not count). Basmati and jasmine, short-, medium- and long-grain, arborio and brown seem to be the ones we in the western world largely cook with, the specific types determining how they should all be cooked. Together with wheat, rice is one of the world’s two most important food crops, nourishing exclusively about a third of its population, especially in Asian countries. Waverley Root says, ‘Asians have become so accustomed to the obligatory presence of rice that however much they stuff themselves with other foods, they still feel hungry if they have had no rice’. In Japan the very word for rice, gohan, also means the full meal. With my vigorous Euro predilections I have often heard myself make comments along the

The butter-poached lobster brought to mind a rice dish I made recently, to accompany spicerubbed lamb shoulder I baked endlessly in a very slow oven. First of all I softened chopped leeks in a lusty amount of butter. Then I cooked jasmine rice in chicken stock and after ten minutes I tipped in the buttery leeks, replaced the saucepan lid and continued cooking it all until the rice was done. Heaven.

Traditional Thai

Brown rice is wonderful in its texture and nuttiness. In a long-ago column I waxed nostalgically about the brown-rice dinners my younger sister and I lived on the time our parents went overseas. The house to ourselves, we would nightly prepare a stir-fry of cooked brown rice, cubed capsicums, cashews, celery and cabanossi (all those inadvertent C ingredients), shower it generously with shredded cheese then place it under the grill until molten and gooey. Lubricated with cask Stanley white burgundy, we devoured that dish with shameful greed, night after night after night. Our having been brought up on regular Rice-A-Riso – for all my mother’s otherwise sophisticated culinary forays – it was clearly, or so we believed, the pinnacle of epicureanism.

lines of: I would eat much more Asian food if it featured bread and cheese. And then circumstances may fling in my direction an Asian meal which utterly transports me and obliterates all thoughts of wheat and dairy. With, moreover, the creamy sauce-absorbing rice being one of the rapturous components. In short, I simply forget how much I enjoy rice – and all types of rice too.

have the reserve grade team pumped up and ready to go for back-to-back titles. Club faithful Duane Cahill will be guiding the new Byron/Lennox Under 18s team. Lennox juniors finish at 16 and, with no seniors club to go to, the Devils are providing opportunities for the lads to continue in the sport locally. In honour of the new blood, the 18s will sport a green V on the front of their guernsey to signify the link with Lennox. Under guidance by club president Damon McCarthy the new-look committee are just as pumped as the players.

Any players interested in being part of the Devils this season can head down to Red Devil Park on Tuesdays and Thursdays for training. ‘If you love your footy then get down to Red Devil Park and watch the boys in action’, says McCarthy. ‘The Season kicks off on April 15 and the Devils’ first home game will be on Sunday April 29.’

News Extra

Power costs likely to soar Households are bracing themselves for an electricity price surge that will have a severe impact on bills, increasing stress on the family budget. Household bills in NSW are likely to reach record highs this winter. The key factors for the price surge include the regulator-imposed hikes that will be announced on July 1, backed up by the carbon tax surcharge. Tim Wolfenden, electricity specialist and CEO of www. makeitcheaper.com.au, believes the carbon tax could add up to $500 to a typical family bill. ‘In 2012 regulated energy prices in NSW are set to soar well beyond the ten per cent already predicted by the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART), possibly escalating closer to 20 per cent. ‘Several policy and market changes have occurred since IPART last estimated the average increase in regulated electricity prices. ‘These changes are likely to likely to lead to steeper price rises than originally predicted,’ he added. IPART is reviewing its estimates (and will publish its decisions on the increase for each Standard Retailer in June 2012, ready for price hikes in July). But in preparation, consumers should be aware that higher than expected price rises are on the way. According to Mr Wolfenden, key factors in the price rise are: t *OUSPEVDUJPO PG UIF $BSbon Pricing Mechanism (1 July 2012).

charges, including some recovery from the defunct NSW scheme t /FUXPSL JOWFTUNFOU ‘There are two critical things to consider when you want to cut your power bill: pay as little as possible for each kilowatt you use, and use as few kilowatts as possible,’ Mr Wolfenden said. ‘An average household could slash their bill by up to $260 by renegotiating their current power contract or switching to a new provider.’ The next step is to review your home power use and cut the kilowatts by following these easy tips: Heating: Approximately 50 per cent of total household costs are attributed to heating.

Byron Bay Triathlon a month away It is just a few weeks away from UIF FOE PG UIF ĹžĹœĹ?Ĺ? ĹžĹœĹ?Ĺž USJBUIlon season and that means the historical Byron Bay Triathlon BOE .VMUJTQPSU 'FTUJWBM JT GBTU approaching. With a huge field of 1300+ participants, triathletes, friends, families are all booking accommodation and making travel plans from all over Australia and some parts of the world. The Byron Bay Tri attracts competitors from Asia BOE UIF 6, NBOZ PG XIPN simply wish to experience the unique splendour of Byron, and the excuse of swimming 1.5km, riding 40km and running 10km is the justification. Event director Jacque Hogan is very pleased with progress of planning for the 2012 event. Registrations in fact closed in October 2011 with the field having sold out nearly six months in advance and with nearly 500

people on the waitlist. Jacque believes that the interest in the Byron Bay Triathlon stems from the high level of enjoyment and standards of the race that have been built up over the recent years. She estimates about 90 per cent of the field are returning triathletes and that this year everyone was surprised how quickly the registrations flowed in, continuing the trend as seen in other major multisports events. The Byron Bay Triathlon is very fortunate to enjoy the support of the Byron Shire Council, Ballina Shire Council and NSW Police without whom the challenging and beautiful southern ride over open roads towards Ballina could not operate. The Byron Bay Triathlon continues to fundraise for its two long-term charities – By-

ron Bay Surf Club and Brunswick Valley Rescue. While the Triathlon is all about the swim, run and ride for the triathlete, the attraction of the after-race party and a week’s holiday in Byron Bay attracts thousands of spectators, families, guests and partiers for the informal ‘last triathlon of the year’. See you in Byron for the party on Saturday May 12. A race not to be missed in 2012 – featuring a 1500m swim in the crystal clear waters of Byron Bay; a 36km ride through the local hinterland; and a 10km run along the streets cheered on by the crowd! Watch some of the best triathletes battle it out and others attempt their first ever Olympic-length triathlon. See further details about the race at www.byronbaytri.com.

Deteriorating conditions force housing downgrade The Housing Industry Association has released the autumn edition of its National Outlook housing report card. The autumn Outlook confirms deteriorating conditions for the housing industry in the final quarter of 2011 and into 2012, with the evidence prompting a further downgrade in terms of forecasts for new home building levels. Following a 12.8 per cent fall in housing starts in 2011, HIA is forecasting a 5.9 per cent decline in starts in 2012, to a level

of just 139,360. On a financial year basis, housing starts are forecast to bottom at a level of 137,820 in 2011/12 before posting only a modest recovery to 151,200 by 2013/14. ‘New home building has been hampered by interest rates that have been too high for too long as well as a glacial pace of reform in terms of the supply-side of the Australian housing market. Put simply, the excessive tax levied on new housing is constraining supply and is harming business

conditions and therefore the wider domestic economy,’ said HIA senior economist Andrew Harvey. Research has found that around 40 per cent of the purchase price of a new home is taxes, and that the majority of this is in the form of highly inefficient taxes, including stamp duty. ‘Given that a lack of housing affordability is already hurting those trying to get into home ownership, as a nation we should be building more

Buyers deterred by properties with no asking price

Not using fixed asking prices in the marketing of properties is negatively affecting the audience of potential buyers, a poll released by PRDnation-

wide shows. Three quarters of respondents (75%) were greatly deterred by properties which didn’t reveal a fixed asking price – often overlooking those

priceless properties during the search for a new home. The PRDnationwide survey found 20 per cent were slightly deterred by a property without a selling price while only 2.5 per cent were definitely not deterred. The remaining respondents (2.5%) nominated ‘unsure’. PRDnationwide research director Aaron Maskrey said some agents and sellers listed properties without a selling price – which according to the results should be avoided. ‘Ultimately you could be missing out on potential purchasers by not advertising a selling price or giving a range,’ he said.

More is needed in terms of Commonwealth and state government reform to lift some of the tax burden from new housing – taxes on housing simply have to be substantially reduced,’ said Mr Harvey. ‘At the same time the Reserve Bank has again fallen into the trap of calling rates on hold when the need for further rate cuts is increasingly apparent to those in business.

The cheery billboard opposite comes from the American Regulate Marijuana group and is in synch with the latest call to end the war on drugs, at least some of the illegal ones, by a group of prominent Australians. Among them is the new foreign minister Bob Carr, who told ABC News it was time for a de facto decriminalisation of some drugs and a freeing-up of police time: ‘We wouldn’t have armies of police patrolling outside nightclubs and pubs hoping to snatch someone who’s got an ecstasy tablet in his or her pocket or purse. And we wouldn’t be having police chasing individual users of marijuana.’ Don’t hold your breath though – unless you’re inhaling something illegal – for the war to end any time soon.
