Dan Murphy’s Byron Flowers sampled at food festival bid denied by ILGA Luis Feliu & Hans Lovejoy

The Byron Bay community has won a David-and-Goliath battle against giant liquor retailer Dan Murphy’s after its liquor licence application for a shop in Byron Bay’s main street was rejected. The Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority (ILGA) said it could not ignore ‘prevailing exposure’ of the community to ‘alcohol-related harm and disturbance’ in considering the social impact of the outlet proposed by the Woolworths-owned liquor chain. Authority chairman Chris Sidoti said his decision upheld the need to minimise the harm associated with misuse and abuse of liquor. The licence application was the last hurdle for the retailer to establish a bottleshop in Jonson Street on the ground floor of the current Dendy Cinema building. Community leaders have welcomed the decision. Byron Shire mayor Simon Richardson said it was a massive win and the Authority had listened to the huge outcry by the community to yet another liquor outlet, while Byron youth worker Nicqui Yazdi said the decision and community campaign against a further alcohol retailer had set a good precedent and would help inspire other small communities to say ‘No’ to more alcohol outlets.

Right decision: MP Page Tweed-Byron police commander superintendent Stuart Wilkins said the Authority had heard and responded to police concerns on the issue ‘loud and clear’, but there was still more to do to address the problem. And state member for Ballina, Don Page said, ‘This is the right decision and I am pleased that the independent body has come to the same con-

clusion that police, the local community and myself all came to – that this is not the right location for another liquor outlet in Byron Bay. I made a submission to the Authority stating concerns that I shared with various sectors of the Byron community. The concerns included the proposed location in the CBD and the high rate of alcohol related assaults that have been occurring in Byron Bay,’ he said. ‘I note the crime statistics that the Authority relied on in coming to its decision, which are a major concern. ‘According to the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics the Byron LGA recorded almost four times as many alcohol-related non-domestic violence assaults as the statewide average. ‘That is 787.6 incidents per 100,000 persons compared to a statewide rate of 209.5. As I stated in my submission, I am not opposed to a Dan Murphy’s in Byron Bay, but I strongly believe that the CBD is not the right location for another liquor outlet. ‘Neither of the Dan Murphy’s outlets in Lismore or Ballina is located in the CBD and I believe the argument against it being located in the Byron CBD is even stronger,’ Mr Page said. President of Byron’s chamber of commerce, Byron United, also agreed that the location was not appropriate. Paul Waters, who is also on the board of the Byron Bay Liquor Accord, said, ‘Byron United has said all along this was not the right place for an alcohol outlet, and we were happy for it to be in the industrial estate, for example.’ The decision came after a public meeting last month, organised by the NSW Office of Liquor, Gaming and Racing, heard overwhelming community concern against the plans. As reported in The Echo on September 11, arguments for the outlet

First Woolies, now two-storey flats Luis Feliu

Creeping over-development of Mullumbimby’s Station Street is what residents feared when they lost the battle to stop a Woolworths supermarket from being built there. Now just over a year since the supermarket was built, a controversial plan for a two-storey block of five flats, involving demolition of an old house, has many thinking a domino effect in development has started in earnest, putting the whole character of their street at risk. More than 100 residents fear it will continued on page 2 happen and have vowed to fight it,

signing a petition against the development. And Byron Shire planners agreed with residents that the proposed medium-density unit development of numbers 27–29 Station Street, opposite the new supermarket, is way too bulky and out of scale, which would destroy the street’s character and ruin neighbours’ privacy.

Bulky and out of scale But the new council last week voted to reject that advice and defer considering the plan to enable further talks with the developer to resolve concerns over bulk, scale and privacy.

The move by Cr Basil Cameron was backed by mayor Simon Richardson and Crs Sol Ibrahim, Rose Wanchap and Paul Spooner. The staff report on the plan is scathing of the design quality of the proposed building, saying it has ‘a single wall plane extending a length of 42.5 metres, which is bulky and austere in appearance’, and a height of almost nine metres. The views from each of the elevated balconies look straight down into neighbours’ homes and yards, which staff say is ‘a severe loss of privacy’. Resident Simone Ormsby, who continued on page 3

were made by Dan Murphy’s representatives but a wide cross-section of the community, including church leaders, police, politicans, school teachers and teenagers, gave passionate addresses to the panel for over five hours.

Woolies options When asked if Dan Murphy’s would seek to re-apply, Woolworths’s media relations manager told The Echo, ‘We are examining the decision.’

Similarly, owner of the retail space where it was planned, Gold Coast-based Robert Badalotti of Azzura Developments, is staying tight-lipped.

No appeal available His property manager Jamie Bourke told The Echo, ‘I have been told by the landlord not to discuss the property at this point.’ As to what options are now available to Woolworths, a spokesperson for the Independent Liquor & Gaming

Authority told The Echo, ‘there is no appeal available under the Liquor Act on the merits of a decision made by the Authority on an application. ‘But applicants are free to submit a fresh application. If an applicant believes the Authority, in making its decision, has made an error of law, it can appeal to the Supreme Court.’ When asked for data on refusals by the Authority, the spokesperson said they were unable to provide that, ‘However the number of refusals

would be a small proportion of the number of applications that are approved.’ The Authority previously told The Echo that Byron’s case received the largest number of submissions to date. The number of liquor licences in Byron Shire has increased slightly in recent years, according to the Authority’s 2010/11 annual report. In 2008/09 it was 104, in 2009/10 it was 112 and in 2010/11, 114 licences were operating. ■ Editorial page 10

Speakers include GetUp!’s Sam McLean, president of Lock the Gate, Drew Hutton and Mark Ogge from Beyond Zero Emissions. Co-organiser Nick Hanlon says, ‘There are already CSG refugees leaving their lands as uninhabitable in southeast Queensland where CSG mining has created poisoned aquifers and rivers. Not long ago these waters were pristine. ‘CSG mining can poison the ecosystem very quickly. There is an urgency to this campaign and we urge people to come along and show that we can unite and win this fight to protect our land, our water and our future.’

lives with her family next door at No 31, couldn’t agree more, saying the development over both blocks would impact on the overall look and appeal of the street. ‘A number of properties along the street are heritage listed, such as No 33, and even the Woolworths opposite has attempted to blend in with the “heritage” theme of the street with their “heritage-style brickwork and recycled timber façade”,’ Ms Ormsby told The Echo. ‘There is nothing in the street like this proposal and, as a consequence, it will be highly obtrusive and extremely dominating in appearance by comparison. ‘This is the sort of development one would expect in a crowded central location of a major city, not a small rural town such as Mullumbimby.’ Ms Ormsby, a local acupuncturist, said an existing singlestorey building of five units at No 39 Station Street, ‘is by far

the most unattractive dwelling in the street’. She said it ‘spoils the overall street appeal by breaking up a continuum of original-condition or lovingly restored old Mullumbimby homes in both directions either side’. ‘The current proposed development would be much worse than this, with the same number of flats, but with the extra level adding further insult. ‘To make matters worse, new flood-level requirements mean Simone Ormsby and daughter Amelia, right, with John, it will be even higher than Kim and Samuel Northcott in front of 27–29 Station Street, usual, making this building an Mullumbimby, proposed to be redeveloped into a two-storey eyesore and a monstrosity.’

Ms Ormsby fears approval of the block of flats will set a precedent ‘by which this style of housing may pop up all over Mullumbimby, or perhaps the entire Byron Shire, potentially adjacent to lovely heritage or older-style houses, spoiling the appeal and charm of this great town and wonderful shire’. Ms Ormsby says the Woolies

truck-loading bay opposite her home had already spoilt the appeal of her property, as well as the value, and a block of flats next door would exacerbate that, adding ‘insult to injury’. The height of the proposed building, she said, would ‘shade my sunny garden and block out large amounts of sun all the way down the length of the block’.

She also fears too many cars from the development would add extensive noise, pollution and light disturbance at night. Ms Ormsby said the ‘peace and serenity’ of her clinic was already often disturbed by noise from the Woolworths loading bay, and the block of flats would make it worse. ■ Letters page 15

The ongoing legacy of an unnecessary war

24/7 VET ON DUTY

One in three Iraqi babies are being born with defects, says journalist Donna Mulhearn According to Australian Institute of Health & Welfare there are 308 birth defects for every 10,000 births in this country. But this is not the case in the Iraqi city of Fallujah, where one in three babies is born with a birth defect, claims journalist Donna Mulhearn. It’s a case of generational genocide, with surviving children later developing unusual tumours and cancers. Ms Mulhearn has just returned from Iraq, and will be addressing north coast audiences in what she calls ‘the legacy of the war.’

Toxic legacy ‘The impact on the physical place and on society has been dramatic and very negative, but I’ll be focusing on the longterm toxic legacy of the Iraq war and the impact of chemical weapons and weapons containing depleted uranium.’ Donna has spent a significant amount of time in Fallujah, west of Bagdad, a city that shows itself as a microcosm reflecting the bigger problems Iraq is now facing. ‘I spent a week there last time and I felt what I could bring to the issue as a journalist was to document the issue; my goal was to give a face to the issue and to humanise it. ‘I feel often that our government and our media and commentators talk about wars as if if the people who live in these places aren’t like us. They are often presented as “the other”. ‘I want to humanise that and hopefully raise the awareness of what has happened to families there.’ Donna believes that it is often difficult for audiences to comprehend the scale of the problem. ‘What I often say to audiences is that Fallujah has 200 – 300,000 people. That’s the size of Hobart. Imagine if that happened in Hobart or Newcastle – if one in three babies was being born with these defects, there

No media attention

would be civil and government outrage. But it’s a story that in the main part is dismissed; Fallujah is a city where almost every family is affected.’ Iraqi citizens have clearly sustained genetic damage, and continue to live, grow their food, and drink water in contaminated surrounds. ‘It’s an intergenerational effect’ says Donna, ‘I don’t even know if there is a name for it – slow violence? These babies are basically dying from wounds from a war that they never saw; it’s similar to Agent Orange and I believe that it is the Agent Orange of today.

Damaged genetics ‘I did my masters last year on Fallujah, the killing of a city. The city wasn’t flattened at the time, but the longterm legacy may mean a total change in the genetics of the demographic. ‘Those living in Fallujah don’t have access to a lot of information, but many are coming to believe that they and their families have been poisoned by the Iraq war. ‘When I interviewed lots of parents, most of them are healthy, so I asked what caused the birth defects. ‘They are aware it’s related to the weapons used by Americans, [when] we asked one young couple who had lost four babies – they were buried at the football field which is now a cemetery. In 2004 the deaths were so high, they gave up the football stadium and used it as a cemetery, and

the only people buried there are people connected to the attacks. This football stadium has a section of baby graves, many unmarked. I went to the fresh grave of their little baby Mohammed who lived for five minutes. I asked: “what are you going to do, try again?” ‘They said we won’t try again until there is a solution. The most heartbreaking thing about that it is there is no solution, the doctors and gynaecologists advice is just stop, don’t fall pregnant as it’s unlikely you’ll give birth to a healthy child.’ Disabilities are varied although the most common are congenital heart and spinal defects, she says. ‘For instance, there was a little girl born when I was there who had a hole in her back. The doctor said this is very common now, they get a couple a week.’ In Australia, spinabifida is rare, with statistics showing it occurs in just one in 2000 births. Perhaps the most shocking are the physical deformities. ‘There are babies born without brains, or shrunken heads, often very grotesque physical deformities. There are children who are born and look normal but they could be dead in three months because there just aren’t the facilities or the equipment available to deal with these complex cases. Parents have to go to Baghdad to access the help they need. It costs them a fortune.’ So why hasn’t this story gained international media at-

‘I find that when ordinary people find out about what is happening over there they are angry and want to know more.’ Donna has just returned from her fourth trip to Iraq. ‘I have a long history there,’ she says. ‘The first time I went as part of the human shield movement, and I returned later as an aid worker.’ So does Donna fear for her own health? ‘In terms of being exposed to depleted uranium, it’s possible that I am affected. When I got back in 2003 an American colleague got basic tests done and they showed radiation levels that were significantly higher than normal. ‘My friend said, “It doesn’t matter for me as I’m 70”. I was in my mid-30s. ‘I investigated getting tests but there was no place to get tests. So I have decided not to have children.’ She says for years people have been growing their crops in contaminated land and kids have been playing in tank graveyards. ‘Areas need to be decontaminated. We hear about billions of dollars of aid going to Iraq but much of that has been squandered. What is urgently needed is genetic testing and research – it’s what the hospitals are crying out for. Donna Mulhearn will be presenting her very personal journey and the story of the forgotten casualties of the Iraq war this Friday at the Mullumbimby RSL at 6.30pm with performers Renee Simone and Ilona Harker, along with a screening of David Bradbury’s film Business as Usual. Mulhearn will also address the Byron Services Club from 6.30pm on Monday October 15.

Road ragers face court after melee with out-of-uniform cop Eve Jeffery

A father and son appeared in Byron Bay court last Friday on charges stemming from a road-rage incident in Brunswick Heads. Tony Nelson and his father Clarence Nelson were driving into Brunswick when a fourwheel-drive came up behind them and tooted his horn, as the Nelsons were driving slowly in search of a particular address. Tony Nelson, who was a passenger in the vehicle, thrust his hand through the window and flipped his middle finger at the driver of the 4x4 and both cars pulled over. What Tony Neslon didn’t www.echo.net.au

know was that the driver of the other vehicle was local police officer Detective Sergeant Labeeb Saad. A scuffle ensued and Detective Saad placed Mr Nelson Junior under arrest. Mr Nelson Senior, who admitted to the court that he was hard of hearing, joined in the melee and Detective Saad called for assistance from onlookers. As the police vehicle was unmarked and Saad was not in a police uniform, Mr Nelson alleges that he felt threatened by the approach of the other driver in what he thought was an act of road rage. Detective Saad told the court that he did say he was from

the police but the situation escalated at such speed that he did not have the chance to fully identify himself. As a result of the incident, Detective Saad received a black eye, cuts and bruises and an injury to his mouth requiring three stitches. Tony Nelson was charged with offensive language and both of the Nelsons were charged with resisting arrest and assault occasioning actual bodily harm. Several complications arose during the hearing as Tony Nelson claims he did not understand that Det Saad was a police officer and Mr Nelson senior’s hearing impairment hampered his grasp of the situation.

The timing on behalf of both the Nelsons of the understanding and acknowledgment Det Saad’s occupation was one of the main questions in the case and magistrate Michael Dakin retired to his chambers to look further look into the evidence given on the stand by the Nelsons and Detective Saad. More witnesses took the stand during the afternoon. During proceedings the charge of assault was withdrawn against Clarence Nelson and Mr Dakin ruled that he be given a bond of good behaviour for two years. The case involving Tony Nelson was adjourned until November 23.

CSG: new industry licences fail to appease the opposed Gerard Harris

Despite ongoing coal-seam gas (CSG) free demonstrations in the region, the NSW Liberal/ Nationals government is pressing ahead with the renewal of 22 CSG exploration licences. Reliance on imported gas into the state has been cited as a reason: 95 per cent of NSW’s gas supply is currently imported from Victoria, South Australia and Queensland, according to the NSW Department of Resource and Energy. And now fracking has been re-approved after a 16-month halt, the O’Farrell government say its new regulations are possibly the strictest anywhere. A recent study commissioned on behalf of oil and gas giant Santos, by economic consultant ACIL Tasman, found that the CSG industry has the potential to deliver important economic benefits, with gas-supply issues potentially arising in NSW as early as 2014. The government hopes that its actions will help solve these

supply issues, with the implementation of its new Strategic Regional Land Use Policy aiming to ensure stricter controls over the renewal and approval of CSG exploration and production. Under the government’s new Strategic Regional Land Use Policy, 27 new initiatives are to be put in place regulating the industry, including: t ć F CBOOJOH PG UIF VTF PG BTEX chemicals (previously used in fracking) used as additives during drilling and fracking. t 5IF BOOPVODFNFOU PG standardised land access agreements for coal-seam gas exploration on private land. t ć F JOUSPEVDUJPO PG BO JO dependent upfront and scientific assessment known as the ‘Gateway’ for mining and CSG proposals on land identified as strategic agricultural land. t 5IF EFWFMPQNFOU PG UXP new codes of practice, which require ‘world best practice’ for fracking and well design. But critics of the policy, in-

John’s cricket art hits Sydney

If you’re in Sydney in the next couple of weeks, drop into the Members’ Pavilion at the Sydney Cricket Ground to see the Cricket Art exhibition. The Echo’s rugby league correspondent and movie reviewer, John Campbell, was a finalist in 2012 with his painting, The First Test at Goonengerry: Australia v India. ‘It’s the only way I was ever gonna get into that part of the ground,’ said John, a doughty middle-order batsman and bowler of nude leg-breaks.

cluding president of Lock the Gate Alliance, Drew Hutton, say that these actions are not enough. â€˜â€ŚCommunities from all around the state have every right to feel they have been deceived by a government that promised the world and has delivered nothing,’ Mr Hutton said in a statement. ‘In the northern rivers, the people of this beautiful region who voted 87 per cent “noâ€? to coal-seam gas in a council poll [recently] are now faced with renewal of two Metgasco licences (PEL 13 & 16) that threaten long-term sustainable industries like farming and tourism,’ he said. NSW Greens MP Jeremy Buckingham supports this view. ‘The community expected the O’Farrell government to rule out mining on productive agricultural lands and sensitive environmental areas. The government has betrayed this promise,’ said Mr Buckingham. There are currently three companies: Metgasco Limited, Arrow Energy and Red Sky Energy who are undertaking exploration for coal-seam gas – and other forms of unconventional gas – right across the northern rivers. Chief executive officer and managing director of Metgasco, Peter Henderson, welcomed the government’s announcement in a press release on the same day the government announced CSG licence renewals on September 11, 2012. ‘The announcement of the Strategic Regional land Use Policy, the Aquifer Interference Policy, Code of Practice and new well integrity standards sends a clear message to that the NSW government is 100 per cent behind this industry,’ Mr Henderson said. ‘The NSW community should be confident now that yet another state government has thoroughly assessed the

industry and given CSG a green light. ‘With the issuing of a Land Access Code of Conduct, which sets out the rights of landholders with respect to CSG activity, the SRLUP and the Aquifer Interference Policy, northern rivers farmers and the broader community can take great confidence that our industry is safe and can coexist with agriculture and other land uses,’ he said.

CSG industry safe: Metgasco CEO ‘The announcement sends a message from the government that NSW is open for business and that CSG will play a key role in future development of the state’s economy and future energy needs,’ Mr Henderson said. ‘It was disappointing that the industry had received so much unfounded criticism, creating unnecessary concerns in the community. The NSW government has responded to these concerns by conducting detailed reviews and developing new regulations and community consultation processes. ‘This policy work has caused significant delays for the industry in NSW. Furthermore, the time taken to complete the new policies has allowed community concerns to escalate. Metgasco will need to learn to live with the new regulations and processes. ‘We expect that time will show that some of the new requirements are unnecessarily restrictive and that approval processes are cumbersome, adding unnecessary costs to the industry,’ Mr Henderson said. ‘CSG is a safe and environmentally attractive industry that can provide economic benefits in NSW and play an important role in securing energy supplies for NSW,’ Mr Henderson said. ■Gerard Harris is studying at The University of Queensland.

National campaign aims to reverse youth binge drinking Byron Youth Service (BYS) says it has taken the lead to change the binge drinking culture of the Byron Shire – and Australia – with its ‘Cringe the Binge’ campaign. Director of BYS Di Mahoney says, ‘The community has had enough of the negative impacts of binge drinking. ‘We have been battling with binge drinking here in Byron Bay for many years and we want our young people, our community, parents, politicians, business and community leaders, and tourists to join us in a national weekend of action to Reverse Youth Binge Drinking November 9–11.

November 9–11 ‘Byron Bay is a microcosm of all the negative impacts of binge drinking – drink driving, multiple fatalities, sexual assault, street violence, brawls, domestic violence and trauma, anxieties and depression, and the early initiation of young people into alcohol consumption. ‘On the national weekend of action we are asking all Australians to stop and think about their use of alcohol and donate – via our website www. cringethebinge.com.au – what they would normally spend on alcohol. The donations will fund programs that aim to reverse youth binge drinking.’ Byron Shire mayor Simon Richardson said, ‘I admire By-

Film night to help Tibetan refugee A local Tibet support group is holding a film evening at the Dendy cinemas on October 12 to raise funds for Lhamo Kyab, a Tibetan refugee and former political prisoner now living in India. The evening will be introduced by David Heilpern, a lawyer, magistrate and Tibetan Buddhist since his youth. The films are Prisoner of Conscience – My Reminiscence by Lhamo Kyab, which recounts Lhamo’s experiences when arrested by the Chinese for attempting to fly the Tibetan National flag, and Tibet’s Cry for Freedom, by Lara Damiani. It traces her journey to uncover the truth about Tibet’s longsuffering non-violent freedom struggle and why China’s grip on Tibet is so tight. Bookings for the evening are advisable on 6680 8555. Starts at 7pm.

New ‘warriors’ called to adventure

ron Youth Service for taking the lead on this important community issue and I hope everyone that cares about young people being affected by binge drinking and alcohol-related issues will come and support the launch of Cringe the Binge.’ In the lead-up to the National Weekend of Action, BYS is releasing a series of provocative posters that aim to get young people thinking about the dangers of binge drinking.

Described as blending spirituality and adventure, the Mankind Project has announced the next New Warrior Training Adventure for November 2–4 at Koonjewarre, Springbrook in Queensland. ‘The training invites men to look at what is and what is not working in their lives and directly experience the transformational power of the sacred masculine’ say organisers. See www.mkpau.org for more.

The posters will be part of the official launch of Cringe the Binge on October 19 and they focus on the issues of alcohol and violence, sexual assault, sexually transmitted diseases, mental health issues and brain development. Everyone is invited to the launch on Friday October 19 at 10am in Apex Park, Byron Bay. Organisers are asking everyone to wear a black t-shirt. For more visit www.cringethebinge.com.au.

Getting funny for suicide prevention Three north coast comedy industry women have come together to create Funny In the Head, an all-day comedy event of awareness raising, de-stigmatising and laughter focused on mental health issues and suicide prevention. The event was the brainchild of Krista Fuller, longtime partner/manager of comedian Greg Sullivan. Krista approached comedian and promoter Mandy Nolan and comedian Ellen Briggs about working together on a

project that brought comedians together from all around the country to talk about mental health, perform great comedy, and, in the process, raise money for suicide prevention in regional communities. ‘Funny in the Head is about reframing our perception of suicide and mental health problems in a way that enables us to recognise them as social issues, not individual ones, and as issues that we can individually become empowered to do something about,’ says Krista.

Funny in the Head boasts a full-day program on Thursday November 15, hosted by the Ballina RSL, kicking off with a FITH Breakfast with a keynote by bestselling author, blogger, lecturer and winner of Australian of the Year Award, Cynthia Morton. From 10.30am to 4pm there is a FITH Expo providing conversation and information from support services, educators and innovators in the region including On Track Community Programs, Lifeline Northern Rivers, SCU,

BDSCSA, New Horizons, Pathways and more. All proceeds from Funny in the Head will be donated to Lifeline Northern Rivers to fund the delivery of their ASIST program (Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training Program) to Indigenous communities in northern NSW by Lifeline in conjunction with Rekindling the Spirit and Casino Aboriginal Medical Service. For bookings go to www. ballinarsl.com.au or phone 6686 2544.

reciprocate. He has made no secret of his lust-driven youth, and expressed neither shame nor regret for it. Apparently it’s quite okay for blokes to shag around, but sheilas need to keep themselves for the bridal bed. And if they don’t, they’re bad girls – sluts.

And in spite of his affection for his Lesbian sister, Abbott also confesses to feeling ‘a bit threatened’ by homosexuality – except when it manifests itself in the form of his close friend and valuable contact Alan Jones. These are not the typical attitudes of the caring, sharing, sensitive newage guy Margie seeks to portray. But according to what Liberal backbencher Kelly O’Dwyer has christened Labor’s Handbag Hit

The problem in the polls is based on a well-founded apprehension of just what policies Abbott might bring to the Lodge. by Mungo MacCallum private justification for treating the unmarried – indeed, living in sin – Julia Gillard with such ferocity. Abbott’s attitude to women obviously owes a great deal to his Catholic upbringing and he has presumably outgrown the manic chauvinism of his student days – although his obsession with his body and his love of strenuous physical activity would suggest that he still harbours a certain nostalgia for his macho past. His three great mentors – Father Emmett Costello, Bartholomew Augustine Santamaria and now Cardinal George Pell – have all held distinctly Pauline views about what they regard as the second sex (‘I do not permit a woman to teach or have authority over a man. She must be silent’ – 1 Tim 2:12. ‘Women should remain silent in churches. They are not allowed to speak but must be in submission as the law says’ – 1 Cor 13:34. ‘… to be self-contained and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind and to be subject to their husbands so that no-one will malign the

There was a political and public outcry against the decision, but Abbott fought a bitter rearguard and retrograde action before being forced to back down. He still regrets this failure, but according to David Marr in his recent Quarterly Essay ‘Political Animal: the making of Tony Abbott’ he has learned that there are times when he has to finesse his principles. ‘I am saying that you have to be conscious of the fact that no matter how right your principles are, if they don’t resonate with the general public and you are living in a democratic polity, you’ve got a problem,’ he told Marr. Acting on his conservative Catholic convictions, Abbott could get away with denying his party room a conscience vote on gay marriage, and he will not countenance voluntary euthanasia in any form, but he realises that there is no point in trying to roll back abortion rights – at least, not at the moment. But that does not mean that he would not like to, and given that his personal confessor Cardinal Pell will not let him forget the issue, if an opportunity comes up he is unlikely to let it slip. Abbott himself, and now his family, have been desperate to portray themselves as ordinary, knockabout Australians who just want to make us relaxed and comfortable, to free us from the uncertainties of minority government. But many voters, and particularly many women, sense that behind the speedos, the lycra and the hard hats there is another Abbott, a zealot about whom they know little and worry much. And the fact that his wife feels she has to attempt to reassure them is just as likely to confirm their fears as to assuage them. The lady doth protest too much.

Squad – specifically attorneygeneral Nicola Roxon, health minister Tanya Plibersek, backbencher Deb O’Neill, acting speaker Anna Burke and of course Gillard herself – Abbott’s troubles with women stem at least as much from his actual record as from his attitudes and these can be summed up in his approach to the constantly vexing question of abortion. Abbott has said that he thinks there are far too many abortions in Australia and he would like to see the numbers drop. And there is no doubt that he feels passionately about the issue. He once told parliament: ‘Mr Speaker, we have a bizarre double standard in this country when someone who kills a pregnant woman’s baby is guilty of murder but a woman who aborts an unborn baby is simply exercising choice.’ This was during a debate on the so-called ‘morning after’ pill RU486 which Abbott, as health minister, had banned in Australia in spite of it having been cleared ■ See Mungo live at by all relevant authorities and listed by the World Health Organisation as an essential medicine. www.echonetdaily.net.au

Binge-drinking thinking binge Q M Mizzi (Letters, October 2),

why does it have to be a problem? Kids will do what they are going to do. Why not help kids realise what they are doing? Instil some self-awareness into their minds so they can learn to make mature decisions, rather than blame it all on liquor suppliers. Communication – and not prohibition – is the key here. It seems like everyone would like to solve the problem of teenage transgression with as little communication with their young as possible. Talk to them. And if you expect these problems to be solved without communication then you don’t deserve to have kids, and you are lying to yourself when you say you ‘care’ about these problems. Lastly, let’s think about not how kids get alcohol, but why. Why do they go out drinking and partying? Let me tell you that if you are the sort of person to blame others (such as Dan Murphy’s) for your kids’ problems and expect to solve them without talking to your kid, and do not know the answer to the question ‘why?’, then it is your lack of communication which is responsible for these problems. It is your fault. Parents, grow up. A Rushwood

Byron Bay Q In response to M Mizzi’s letter, I will disregard his personal

Way out?

Nobody would want to stop farmers markets, even the most meathead of rednecks. Nobody wants to retard tourism. So what has Simon Richardson got for the community that is innovative? What about encouraging or even establishing enterprise around ecologically sustainable industries? For example, composting toilets, solar electricity and water tanks. Is that too way out for a Queenslander? M Couell

Billinudgel

Splendour prospects

While Splendour is free to hold whatever meetings it wishes (Echo, October 2, ‘Reps for North Parklands group’ and Deputy Mayor Woods’s ‘working group’ comments), the consent for their proposed development at Yelgun is not in place. The North Byron Parklands development proposal is currently before the federal government awaiting assessment under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act (EPBC No.2012/6474).

attack on me to get to the issue. Instead of asking why kids don’t listen to their parents, his somewhat sarcastic portrayal of party kids makes mockery of a very sad situation we face in our communities today. He is not willing to accept the fact that parenting support and supervision go a long way to guiding our children through adolescence and into adulthood without reckless behaviour. Love, respect and boundaries, in my view, are essential elements for a sound upbringing. This is what parents are supposed to provide. Unless you have developed a close parent-to-child relationship with your children from a very early age and have not fallen into the trap of trying to be your children’s ‘best friend’, you don’t stand a chance of supporting them through their teenage years. This means a lot of time, hard work, long and heated negotiations, and giving them priority over everything else, including yourself! Kids will have many good friends in life; they only have one set of parents. Teenage kids will drink and they will experiment with drugs; very few don’t. If they have been taught to value their lives, look after themselves and respect others, they will always know when to stop. They will sense when the drinking is getting out of hand, when they are at risk of hurting themselves or others. It’s built into their sub-

conscious. I know it from my own personal experience, from seeing my own children grow up through the nineties, and currently with my 16-year-old stepdaughter. There are a lot of kids out there having a great time going out to party at night with friends who rarely get into serious trouble. This did not happen by accident. Stop blaming kids’ unruly party behaviour on ‘a generational issue’ or corporations, and let’s seriously think more about what we can do to become better parents for our children. Carlos A Gutierrez

Myocum Q In response to M Mizzi, your

ageist comments are doing no good for the Byron Shire youth predicament. I am a youth of the Byron Shire and I was disgusted by your naive generalisations of youth today. I, and many others like me, would rather stay home on a Friday night than hit the town with a goon sack and nothing to lose but my virginity. Sadly, especially with the Dendy cinemas on the brink of shutting down, I have nothing better to do than sit at home or risk my happiness in order to muffle my boredom by going out and having to deal with some 50-year-old drunkard cracking onto an 18-year-old girl who’s simply looking for some sort of mental or emotional stimulation.

While NSW premier Barry ‘King Canute’ O’Farrell has used the residue of the abandoned 3A legislation as an axe to cut through NSW’s legal and community standards, we await completion of the federal government’s consideration of this referral under the EPBC Act to know whether there is any legal consent for this proposed development.

build our own energy future. End the imports. End the subsidies. Gently but firmly, folks. Since our federal government is embedded with fossil fuel industries, and hostile to effective change, it is these local initiatives and businesses supplying them that will create the future. But having said that, let me finish with delight. Wave energy seems to be progressing John Lazarus nicely, solar is well underway, Convenor, Byron and the electric vehicle is here Environment Centre to stay. You beauty.

Good solar news

It is an absolute pleasure to be able to write a letter supporting the reported solar-energy initiatives of Repower Byron and Beyond Zero Emissions. This is exactly what needs to be done. Big solar-thermal units built inland, in combination with the localised use of efficient – and that means unsubsidised – panels. It must be added that it is essential for the nation to refocus industrially on energy technology production, and we must not kid ourselves we are succeeding if we are subsidy, ie tax dollar, dependent.

March against mining

‘Lock the Gate, Lock the Roads, Protect our Region’ is a motto of the movement for CSG-Free Northern Rivers. With exploration licences taken out over the northern rivers, including Byron Shire, even we are under threat from CSG and other gasfield mining. Fracking has now been approved by O’Farrell and production is approved in Casino. Many of us have differed over the local economy; now it’s the local ecology. Our water catchment, our agricultural

It’s only natural for people of my age group to want to branch out and socialise with others but with no way to achieve that but binge culture, what else are we to turn to? And in retaliation to your comments about the consumerist habits of young people today, do you really think we have enough money to supply ourselves with overrated designer shoes and assorted gadgets? It’s already hard enough for us to get an after-school job because of ageists such as yourself. Plus, who do you think has fuelled said consumerist habits? The popular-music industry seems to only produce songs about expensive taste and mild alcoholism and the industry heads and shareholders only care about the money they’re milking out of impressionable youth with poorly executed advertising schemes. The previous letter (Carlos Guiterrez, September 25) held far more truth than yours. We are a product of your lessons of values and morals. If you’re unhappy with your ‘hard work’s’ products then maybe parents ought to try a little harder. I know I will.

GM risks

As a result of the recent French university study showing that generically modified (GM) corn causes cancer, kidney and liver damage in animals, Russia has announced a total and immediate ban on the importation of all GM corn, while Food Standards Australia and New Zealand (whose duty it is to protect all Australians from threats like this) said there was no evidence of any safety risk from GM food and their chief scientist Paul Brent said organic food and GM food are ‘almost exactly the same’.

and ours?) The fact that your mother grew up in The Bay gives her (and you) no special right to determine who may do what when. I have watched The Bay (albeit at a safe distance) for over 40 years. It is what it is. The economy of The Bay is dependent, to a great degree, on its international reputations. And its perceived attractions. With respect to the drumming – it is an opportunity to take part in a communal experience. When you dance you don’t need a certificate of expertise. When you drum in a drumming circle there is noone to inspect your qualifications. It is a joyous experience. It is a democracy. You may participate. From the critic’s point of view it may well be a cacophony but the critic does not have the right to demand its cessation. If you have wheels, drive off. Also, there is a possibility (a probability even) that I am older than your mum and not without the odd twinge myself. If I could get myself to the cacophony I could as well get myself out of earshot. Dig it. Solipsism leads to disappointment.

Where respect is due

In response to Susan McKenzie (Letters, October 2) ‘It’s all about respect, Jim’, I would say respect where respect is due. Respect to you for looking after your old mum and I will admit to ‘flaws in my thinking’ but I don’t think you have pointed them out. However, I am wondering how you and your mum got to the most public of public spaces in The Bay, on wheels perhaps? Or did you walk from the nearest camping ground? I am not talking about Wagner after midnight in a campground or, quelle horreur, Hare Krishnas singing at Christmas in praise of their god. (Is there more than one god? Like theirs

Fixing the road may be ‘still a while off ’, Wilsons Creek. First there has to be an assessment committee and then a committee which assesses the assessment of the assessment committee. The council can invite the 400 people who live up the road for a cup of tea, since they do not have any water, to discuss the assessment of the committee which assessed the assessment of the assessment committee. It can also be explained that a disaster zone is a matter of the state government which informed us that it is a matter for the federal government whose lawyers concluded that it is a

Has anything changed in the blame game? Q ‘Has anything changed?’ asks Ross Tucker in the current issue of the Saturday Star. He’s talking about the new line-up of councillors and their ideological make-up being very similar to the previous lot. One change I’ve noticed is that without Ross’s presence the mood is a lot lighter and optimistic. I had hoped that Ross would go off and enjoy his millions as I would at our age if I had his kind of assets, but it appears that the Saturday Star will continue its mission. I imagine that Simon Richardson, poor bastard, will be the next target for ridicule and demoralisation. Certainly Ross’s trademark ‘We need to reduce our legal costs’ was repeated by every right-of-centre councillor at the first meeting. Nothing new there. I suppose, like Ross, the new right-wingers will nevertheless be quite content to spend ratepayers’ money on legal costs when it comes to compliance issues, ie hassling hippies in the hills. They will also, no doubt, try to make up for this loss by saving on prosecuting holiday letters; their immunity will provide definite continuity with the past, won’t it. (Some legal costs are more equal than others, it seems.) Another thing that is most unlikely to change is The Echo’s habit of junking my letters or butchering them. Editor Hans Lovejoy will go on doing his bit for continuity by picking his subject matter capriciously,

as long as it fills the paper with something mildly interesting to the reader and doesn’t involve too many nitty-gritties. Meanwhile, a letter I spent hours putting together, raising serious doubts about a council staffer’s credibility, ends up in the rubbish bin. Too hard, apparently. Anyway I should be happy just getting my name in the paper, right? Fast Buck$

Petroff ’s letter (Echo, October 2) accusing Tom Tabart of being responsible for constant negativity is really drawing a long bow. Tom Tabart, as an elected councillor, because of his concerns asked for the organisation to be restructured. The lack of performance of BSC as an organisation screamed for an outside consultant to be brought in to return the structure to one that its rate base and community could afford. The facts speak for themselves. Pamela Westing, previous BSC general manager, stated that she was leaving BSC in a strong financial position. Graeme Faulkner, the next GM, reported that if BSC were a private company their financial situation was so bad they would be put into the

state government matter which now realises that it really is a council matter. Come on, mate, get some blokes and picks and shovels and fix the bloody road and leave the bullshit for some other time.

The Jones boy

Eddie Blatt

Like many Australians, I was outraged at the vitriolic comments by Alan Jones regarding the passing of Julia Gillard’s father. His subsequent convoluted and insincere ‘apology’, as well as the defence of all his actions, was just as lamentable. But then it dawned on me. Could Alan Jones actually be unaware of the harm he does to people through his broadcasts and his words in general? And even more poignant, could

For all your Health & Beauty needs!

Pottsville Q Let’s be clear about the direct

links between Jones’s latest foray into defamation, vilification and contempt and Tony Abbott’s Liberal Party: 1. The offensive speech was delivered at a Liberal Party event for those who aspire to represent that party and lead Australia under its banner. Current federal Liberal parliamentarians were in attendence 2. Jones is a long

hands of a receiver. Under both GMs there was an alleged culture of bullying and harassment of staff. More executive positions were created. More middle-management positions were created. G Faulkner, because of his concerns with the internal workings of the organisation, asked the ICAC to investigate. G Faulkner also commissioned an independent report on the organisation’s structure. This was done by the University of Technology, Sydney. It identified and recommended areas within the organisation that needed restructuring. G Faulkner left without implementing any recommendations. These are the symptoms of a dysfunctional organisation that any diligent elected councillor should pursue. So, Tina, the facts strongly suggest that Terrible Tom is really Terrific Tom for being forthright and fearless in pursuing these organisational problems. I would hardly call this negativity. It now falls to the newly elected councillors to address them. Alan Dickens

Brunswick Heads Q Voltaire

said that ‘if god did not exist it would be necessary to invent her’. I feel the same way about Tina Petroff and in her case the reality is far more substantial. In her missive of adoration on ‘Terrible Tom’ I cannot but admire the exhaustive research of standing Liberal luminary. A former speechwriter to a Liberal PM and reputed current party member. He routinely props up Abbott and attacks Gillard 3. Jones’s speech was intended to provide leadership and in it he was exhorting his listeners to follow his lead in abusing the PM. Leadership of the Liberals is Abbott’s job and if he is worthy of it he should not be tolerating being supplanted by the likes of Jones. 4. In his speech, aside from vilifying a dead man, Jones lauded Tony Abbott to the heavens. As is so often the case Abbott was a beneficiary of Jones’s attackdog antics If Phoney Tony wants to protect himself from the fallout from Jones’s disgusting behaviour, then he has to show that he is not willing to accept any

council records she must have endured to discover that ‘Tom still can’t point to any (personal) achievements in his last term on council’. As I was unaware that I was in the business of extolling my virtues in this regard, this is unsurprising. Mention was made of election funding and the belated requirement for disclosure. Unlike others the Greens have already detailed where their money came from but don’t hold your breath for much enlightenment in the Woods list. My bet is that the donation flow will have been structured to multiple amounts below the naming requirement. After the 2008 election we found out that the $50K, BU-get-the-Greens slush fund came from Belongil interests only when their own membership demanded an explanation at the AGM. I do not claim Tina’s assurance on what ‘people’ are sick of in council jousting but after observing the ignorant arrogance of some new councillors in their ‘wot I will achieve’ homily at the first meeting, my hopes are not high for sweetness and light prevailing for long. I was disappointed that Tina did not run this time. Her participation always adds a degree of innocent merriment and she does quite well. Perhaps she can again secure the assistance of BU-poster-boy Rene and give it another go in four years? Tom Tabart

Bangalow favours from Jones and that he condemns Jones’s longstanding pattern of disgraceful public comments. Otherwise he should expect to be treated like the clown that he is. Sean O’Shannessy

Goonengerry Q While not a personal attack on the prime minister, the remarks by Alan Jones were provocatively and gratuitously cruel and, therefore, utterly indefensible. The anti-CSG people, ably spoken for by Michael McNamara, have banned Jones from a demonstration because, as Mr McNamara says, ‘of our personal integrity’. Obviously then, he is an honourable man; indeed, they are ‘all, all honourable men’ and women.

Consequently, they would not condone dishonourable epithets such as ‘unflushable turd of Australian politics (of another PM, no less!) or Jack the Ripper (a homicidal sexual predator) or a leader of the Opposition. As all, all honourable men and women, they would, we know, not condone a parliamentarian being said to have ‘the face of a rapist’. As all, all honourable men and women, they would censure the wish that another parliamentarian be raped by a dog. As all, all honourable men and women (remember their ‘personal integrity’!) they would express aversion to ministerial attacks on a victim of alleged sexual harassment. These people of considerable self-professed ‘personal integrity’ must therefore have spoken about the above matters in very withering terms! That we have not heard them means that the media have effectively muzzled their criticisms – a shameful act of censorship.

A controversial proposal for Station Street I wish to bring to the attention of your readers a development application, which came before the new council, for 27–29 Station Street, Mullumbimby. The planning staff have opted to refuse this application for a variety of reasons. The council has deferred any decision pending further negotiations with the applicant. In plain English this proposal is too big, too high and is not within the guidelines of the DCP(2010) and I quote, ‘where council is satisfied that the proposed dwellings are compatible with adjacent existing housing and do not unnecessarily intrude on the privacy of neighbours’. My main concern is that a proposal such as this, if successful, would set an unwelcome precedent for the heritage areas of Mullumbimby and for the rest of the Shire. A design of such bulk and scale

would be more suited to an a first-storey (3m from ground inner-city suburb, not a small level) or a second-storey wincountry town. dow, one of five likely to overChris Cooney look my property (window loMullumbimby cations and a shadow diagrams were conveniently left out of Q Cr Alan Hunter made his pro- this DA), I may see a person or development stance clear in last two looking at me, framed by week’s Echo and he is not the a window.

If I choose to look up into loss of privacy’ to neighbours.

Dailan Pugh’s letter in last week’s Echo urging a re-think on the state government’s intent to scrap Byron Council’s proposed rural conservation zonings at first take appears reasonable until you consider that it will result in yet another layer of bureaucratic interference on landholder useage. Let’s look at the situation in Byron Shire regarding getting a

building approval for a home, or even an extension to an existing home, on a common rural bush block. The DA will cost you between $20,000 and $30,000. Here’s the list: council DA fees, DA consultant, architect or draftsman, engineer, surveyor, soil-testing guy, sewage consultant, bushfire guy and the ecology guy. The latter two are in a savage battle for supremacy within Council and when you add in BASIX, a state-government mandatory computer-driven building code, you have a distinct trend towards WWII pillbox archi-

tecture. It’s a joke. There are people, both within Council and without, who regard a mix of privet, lantana, camphor laurel and blackwood trees as ‘rainforest’. To get a DA through the ecology guy you have to physically remove the crap by hand before a report is prepared and only then, if the DA gets through, can you get the heavy equipment in. This is reminiscent of the old RED scheme of the early 70s when councils dug trenches by hand and equipment lay idle in order to meet federal funding criteria, except in this

case it is you, the applicant, who has to sweat like a navvy in order to meet unreasonable council criteria. That’s the current situation, yet Pugh wants to increase the beauracratic load. The Dailan Pughs of this world simply ensure the employment of armies of professionals, each jockeying to construct their personal pyramids, their careers as it were, at the ratepayers’ expense and the result is basically the same as if you did away with virtually the lot.

Squatting and shouting in post-Tito Slovenia Simeon MIchaels

The idyllic rural backwater of Slovenia, or so it seems as you pick apples from trees, grapes from the vine, and mushrooms from the forest floor, is easy to mistake for some sort of green rural fairyland, and very relaxing if you do. Yet a fierce Slavic spirit and a vibrant counterculture lie just behind the wooden-shuttered farmhouses and stone baroque facades. Part of the Hapsburg Empire since the fourteenth century, Slovenia took its first steps to independence in the 1840s when literati began to standardise the Slovenian language Following the demise of the Hapsburgs in WWI, Slovenes joined Serbs and Croats to form a federated Slavic nation. This became the Kingdom of Yugoslavia prior to Nazi occupation during WWII. The Partisan Army put up one hell of a guerilla fight, and partSlovene war hero Josip Bonz Tito emerged as the leader of the new communist Yugoslavia. Tito, who smoked cigars and wooed movie stars, didn’t let being a communist dictator get in the way of his individuality. His peculiar style has left some unusual legacies, like Nova Gorica, built in the 50s and now a casino town which lures Italian gamblers across the border.

One of the many attractions of Metelkova, in the capital city of Ljubljana, from http://barsofljubljana.webs.com/

As the Soviet bloc imploded in 1991, Slovenia negotiated the famous and only peaceful secession from Yugoslavia. There was a war but soldiers were confused about who the enemy was, and after charmingly disarming each other – or disarmingly charming each other – it was all over in ten days. The country can be less proud of supplying arms to its warring Balkan neighbours. The person allegedly behind that disgrace

is current Slovenian prime minister Janez Janca. Rumours abound that he has bought a farm in Australia to which he will abscond at the close of his current term. From this tumult Slovenia emerged as a modern, peaceful, democratic nation, with the EU’s highest proportion of churches and tractors. Its ageing population is counterbalanced by a radical youth counter-culture which, far from

being underground, is on full display in Metelkova City. My Slovenian host, with a haircut which makes his head look like an acorn, a masters in sociology and a penchant for drugs and experimental jazz, took me to a squat that has been running since 1993. Originally an army barracks, it became disused but now is dense with street art, live music venues and ever-growing art installations which you can sit

in/on and drink and chat (or shout, which the Slavs love so). It’s all self-organised, a flagship for anarchy, and since none of it is supposed to be there, the rules do not apply. The highly awarded Celica Youth Hostel provides ‘must stay’ budget accommodation in the heart of Metelkova. Other Slovenian ‘musts’ are: a boat trip on the picturesque Lake Bled followed by traditional cream cake on the sun-

drenched deck of the Park Hotel, rafting on the Soca River, Gorze Plecnik’s modernist/ traditional architecture in the nation’s capital Ljubljana, and most important of all, visiting a milk machine. These uniquely Slovenian vending machines are owned, maintained and refilled by local dairy farmers. You can buy a bottle or bring your own, and for 50c per litre fill it with fresh, unpasteurised, unhomogenised milk. Amen. Let’s bring one to Byron! Slovenia is generally easy on the wallet, with food and accommodation exceptional value for a western democracy. Speaking of democracy, politics in Slovenia took a turn for the worse at the last election when the Green Party accidentally got itself kicked off the ballot paper. Legislation designed to end male-dominated politics required a certain ratio of male/female candidates from each party. Failing to consider that the rule also applied ‘the other way’ to their exceptionally high proportion of female candidates, the party exceeded the ratio and were removed. This is not relevant, just too ironic. It’s now lunch time. I’m going to chance it with some wild mushrooms we picked yesterday in the forest. My friend assures me they’re fine…

Hello Kitty Flanagan!

E N T E R T A I N M E N T

EVER SINCE SHE’S RETURNED FROM HER COMEDIC SOJOURN IN THE UK A FEW YEARS BACK, AUSSIE AUDIENCES JUST CAN’T GET ENOUGH OF KITTY FLANAGAN. UPFRONT, CLEVER AND AS WITTY AS SHE IS PRETTY, MISS KITTY CHATTED WITH THE ECHO IN THE LEAD-UP TO HER SHOWS AT THE STAR COURT THIS WEEK. Kitty, what is it do you think that makes you such a funny girl? I think I’m just an attention seeker and I discovered early that the best way for me to get attention was to be funny. Do you write regularly, or does your show come together in a different way? This is the first time I’ve actually carved a new show from scratch. Before, when I worked the circuit, new sets of material just magically evolved from working night after night in clubs.  Whereas this time I had to sit down with a pen and paper and go ‘okay, ready, set... write 80 minutes of funny stuff!’ What are the challenges you face each time you put together a new show? Putting together this show was a really enjoyable process... in hindsight. At the time, I felt absolutely nauseated and thought I would never get it together. My manager forced me by booking and promoting eight weeks worth of shows in tiny 60-seat rooms, which gave me a deadline and meant I couldn’t pike out. Obviously you have to advertise those gigs as ‘try out shows’ so audiences come with the right attitude but it’s really the only way to find out what works and what doesn’t.  It’s amazing how the show evolved, I’m not sure even a third of what I started with is still in there... thank Christ, ‘cos it turns out a lot of it was absolute garbage! Tell me a little about the show you are touring at the moment? This is my best show so far. In that it’s ‘very me’. My last show was a compilation of all my best bits put together from years of doing the comedy circuit whereas this one is more personal  and has a lot more ‘here’s what I reckon about this’ type of stuff in it. Are there subjects that you often want to talk about but feel you can’t... of course you can elaborate... Yeah, it seems like I’m not allowed to give my opinions on maternity leave, breast feeding or child rearing (certainly not at dinner parties anyway). Because I’m not a mother. Which is annoying cos I’m also not the Prime Minister or a Gen Y youth or a man but I can say whatever I like about any of those things. Do you still think that audiences are mistrustful of women comics? What have we ever done to them? Fortunately, when people come to my shows now, they tend to know what I do and like what I do (otherwise why buy a ticket?) so I don’t feel that pressure so much anymore. But in a comedy club situation certainly, the audience sees a woman walk out and their first thought is:  â€˜Oh no, a woman’. The second thought is: ‘Right, well this better be funny’. Where audiences assume a male comedian is funny and wait for him to prove otherwise, with women it’s the other way around. They assume you are going to be rubbish and are pleasantly surprised when you’re not. If you weren’t a comedian, Kitty, where do you think you’d be now? Creatively frustrated and depressed, working in an advertising agency. But on the upside I’d probably have buckets of money and a house on the harbour! However my dad, who quit his advertising job so he could work from home and spend more time with his family (which might be common now but was a huge thing to do back in the 70s)  once told me you should never do a job just for the money, it’s more important to be happy and actually enjoy what you do. A very wise man. And now a very successful author ‘cos he stuck to his guns and did what he liked doing and eventually it all came together.

Your one greatest regret? Not having children. Best decision you’ve ever made? Not having children. Stupidest mistake? I’ve made heaps. But possibly the biggest one was going out with a gravedigger and agreeing to meet him for our date at his ‘work’. That’s right, I went off to meet a strange man in a cemetery, at night, surrounded by empty graves and digging equipment. I’ve always thought that could have gone horribly wrong. Turns out he didn’t kill me and dump me in a shallow grave, although he came pretty close to boring me to death. What should we expect for this upcoming show? Bit of everything. I’m putting on a real show this time. I’m loving working in theatres and rolling (literally) all over that stage! I can promise you funny stories, physical comedy, stupid voices, a bit of fully clothed burlesque dancing, some experimental movement, a huge sparkly curtain and a couple of killer, catchy songs too courtesy of my sister and special musical guest Penny Flanagan. Worth seeing the show just to see her. Saturday and Sunday at the Starcourt Theatre in Lismore.

I WILL FOLLOW YOU! Everyone has some regret about a dream they never fulfilled. While many of you may think that I have reached my peak as the selfcrowned Queen of regional comedy, there is still a small sadness in my heart for the untried path. You see, this comedy thing was only ever a cover story to mask my real agenda to become a cult leader. It’s taken me 20 years to gain a fairly patchy following of loyal devotees but, it’s become clear, I just don’t have what it takes to be a spiritual leader. Firstly I suppose, I’m not that spiritual, so that’s strike one. I note with interest how some chap in Alstonville called The Serge has managed to turn the women of Bangalow and surrounds into new-age Stepford Wives, dictating 3am wakeups, how many times a week they can have sex, what temperature the Kool-Aid should be so they can wash down their stupid pills. I am flummoxed that someone in Alstonville has managed to garner a following. Alstonville is not the background for spiritual submission, it’s

LiveM

Desperate Housewives country. Hundreds of über conservatives tightly nestled in their neat little cul-de-sacs. Here I am in Mullumbimby, the perfect setting for a good cult, and I can’t seem to get one follower. (Except the guy who stands outside my window from time to time masturbating. That’s my husband. I don’t think he counts.) Strike two against my attaining cult leader status is that I am a woman. All the famous cult leaders to date have been men. Jim Jones, Charles Manson, L Ron Hubbard are just a few cult leaders have all managed to attract loyal devotees. We chicks don’t seem to inspire mass devotion. Oprah has had a good crack at it, but she certainly hasn’t managed to spark off mass suicides or lockdowns. There must be something in the penis that predisposes those who have one with the potential of being impressively sociopathic. So no penis. No following. I could pretend to have a penis or try and get a secondhand one on eBay. Strike three is that I attract the wrong sort of people. People who like what I write, or find me funny tend to be critical thinkers. Outsiders. Pains in the arse like me. These are people who don’t like being told what to do. Like most of Mullumbimby. These people are very difficult to manage in a cult setting because they are far too oppositional to adopt any particular code of thinking or belief. In fact, its impossible to be a cult leader if your followers won’t do what they are told. In fact the whole Alstonville cult thing is starting to make sense –

conservatism breeds compliance. Compliant people are much easier to suck in with outrageous bullshit. I wonder whether cult leaders lie in bed at night thinking up new ways to manipulate their lambs. Strike four is that I don’t like rules. It’s very hard to run a cult without extreme and unreasonable rules that devotees must adhere to. I was trying to think of rules I might like to impose if I had the power. In the cult of The Mandy I ask that all pubic hair be grown back to its full bushy status. I want men to have beards. Men have to put the bin out. Oh – and it’s necessary for men in the cult to give women two-hour daily massages. They will be rewarded with a weekly blow job. At a specific and unreasonable time, like 4am. Outside the Post Office. By one of the blokes. In my cult people will have to surrender their iPhones. No Facebook. No whingeing. Fat will be the new black. Teenagers will be forced to adore their parents. Lots of swearing will be encouraged in all forms of greeting and used as a term of affection and devotion. The Mandy will address you daily from her balcony with new ideas about how to live more selfishly. Her account will be available for deposits. Sperm will not be accepted as legal tender. So what do you think? Will you follow me?

It’s a pretty easy affair generally; although we all like a lot of different stuff we are united by a love of garage pop in its many different guises so it generally all works out. How does it feel to be considered the most hyped band at the Brisbane Big Sound Music Conference alongside artists such as Clare Bowditch and Mia Dyson? That’s quite an honour. I think it was mainly due to our show there last year, which was crazy. This year we returned to try to live up to the hype I think it all went pretty rad. Victory! You have just released a new album; how are you feeling with the finished product? It all came together really nicely and it’s complete with some of the finest street-fighter-inspired artwork of all time!

watch live because there are so many of you. Is the new record just as gratifying without having to listen to it performed live? I think they’re two separate things really and both are good, but the recordings allow the songs to be heard in a well-balanced pop way whereas live is all about taking those same songs and giving them a different life. Visual spectacle, surround sound, 4D-controlled chaos. You have been described as sounding like The Hives, Herman’s Hermits and The Hollies. Are any of these bands big influences of yours? Who is your biggest musical influence? We’re all big fans of 60s pop and also modern artists who do their own variation on the genre so it’s a lot of artists like The Kinks, Black Lips, and Gerry and The Pacemakers that all make it onto that influence list. Classic good melodies are important when you’re making straight-up garage pop – there’s no production to hide behind really – so influence is often taken from a lot of bands across many genres outside of garage as well. Sunday Safari at the Byron Brewery Buddha Bar on Sunday.

You wrote a quite poetic piece on happiness or the denial of such; do you think that we busy women (I have five kids and a very full career) end up becoming happiness deprived because we are so busy? Not necessarily – it just depends on which choices we make. My grandmother had eleven children: she was still a happy woman.Â

How close did you come? Bullseye. What is the essence of good songwriting for you? Telling the truth, sometimes telling it slant. What are your struggles and challenges as a performer? I’ve had many and I’d say that if you want to know what I learnt from these experiences (too many to number), please join the Big Hearted Business mailing list, because this is the kind of stuff we talk about. What do you bring to the table musically as your greatest strengths? Doing the thing that I can do, not trying to do the thing that someone else can do.Â

by Ian Rogers Play at Byron Services Club, Mon 7pm While the world’s elite players take a week off to move from Sao Paulo to Bilbao for the second half of the Grand Slam Final, the best of the rest have been competing in London in the first of a new Grand Prix series. The London tournament was jointly won by the two most recent world title challengers, Veselin Topalov and Boris Gelfand, together with Azerbaijan’s Shakhriyar Mamedyarov, while the big shock was the disastrous performance of top seed Hikaru Nakamura who lost four consecutive games and finished at the tail of the field. The surprise leader after the Sao Paulo half of the Grand Slam Final is 20-year-old Italian Fabiano Caruana, who beat Carlsen in the first round and has never looked back. Caruana’s win over Carlsen was the result of opportunism after a long rearguard defence. In the diagrammed position Carlsen (Black) has succeeded in marching his king up the board and has the serious threat of 79...Rb2.

However, instead of defending passively with 79.Kc1, which could run into trouble after Black brings his king back into the game, Caruana found an inspired resource... 79.Rxe4! dxe4 80.f5! Kg2?! With less than two minutes left on the clock (and only a ten second increment per move), Carlsen finds the right idea but plays it with the wrong move order. After 80...Rb2! 81.f6 Kg2!, White is in trouble, eg 82.f7 Rb8 83.Ke3 Rf8 84.Kxe4 Rxf7 85.Kd5 (85.d5 Rb5!) 85...c3 86.Kc4 Kf3 87.Kxc3 Ke4 and White has run out of moves. 81.Ke3! Rb2? Consistent, but the ingenious 81...Rb3+!! 82.Kxe4 Rc3! would have held the game. 82.d5! Suddenly White’s pawns are running too fast to be stopped. 82...Rxc2 83.d6 c3 84.d7 Rd2 85.d8(Q) Rxd8 86.Bxd8 h4!? 87.gxh4! g3 88.f6 c2 89.Kd2 e3+ 90.Kxc2 e2 91.Ba5! 1-0 a

THE

MULLUM music festival 2012

Clairy Browne, Talk of the Town! FIERCE LEADING LADY CLAIRY BROWNE AND HER harmonising girl group The Bangin’ Rackettes have been tearing down the house at venues around the country with their drunken piano, heart-wrenching doo-wop and blinding hysteria, so who better to launch four days of the Mullum Music Festival, than these red-lipped heart- and bootybreakers! Clairy says or these red-lipped heart-breakers creating their dynamic big band was created from ‘the inspiration to participate in a night life that I wanted to be involved in. I love playing that type of music and there wasn’t that much happening. There were lots of nights happening with DJs playing soul and retro but no live inspirations. In the early days we took a lot of inspiration from the 60s shindig era; I guess now it’s wild crowds and dazzle and lights and dancing. Our music influences have evolved over the last few years, including northern soul, early R&B and contemporary R&B.’ Being Melbourne based, it took time to convince crowds that Clairy Browne and the Bangin’ Rackettes had something very different to offer.

Culture

‘At first it was hard to work crowds up. I think it’s different with every crowd, I think what people are used to seeing is four guys in skinny black jeans singing emo songs about teenage love affairs. Our show is about bringing feminine strength onto stage and into the studio; a lot of the female artists that emerged over 10 years had a singing style that was kind of whispering. We have a much more upfront style.’ It’s true. Clairy Browne and her Rackettes sing it up big. ‘For me,’ says Clairy, ‘it’s about singing songs that evoke emotion – that create really strong heart connection.’ Clairy’s show is proving to have strong appeal around the country, blitzing venues, attracting broad demographics. ‘We have a pretty strong response from different ages; older generations like it because it is nostalgic but young people like it because it is contemporary. People try to put us in a nostalgic throwback replica kind of band; it’s about contemporising and flipping it and putting it on its head, and using our experiences.’ As Clairy says, the show is exciting. Audiences are responding in their droves, finding the grooves the girls pump out impossible to resist. ‘Our show is a lot of fun, it’s a bit cheeky. A lot of different bands are coming up that are playing older styles of music, and everyone is doing it in their own way; it’s nice to have a community to work off as well. If you haven’t seen us before it’s a pretty hectic vibe on stage; we often shower the crowd in glitter confetti. It’s a highly choreographed show, it’s in our bodies now, we can’t stop it, we even walk down the street and wave together! We even answer people in a sentence all at once in a harmony! There is costume changing – it’s a real show, and there is new music as well… there will be stuff that is not on the album.’ While the nine-piece love the stuff that gets you shaking your booty, Clairy can’t resist the odd slow number, or the dance breather. ‘I like sad songs. As a very small child I used to have a very strong pull

7

to sad music; I used to sit on the beanbag in my room and have a cathartic cry while they were singing. Now that’s the stuff that pulls at the heart a bit, it’s shit that moves people!’ And moving people is what Clairy Browne and the Swinging Rackettes do best. They are the featured act at Mullum Music Festival’s opening night party on Thursday 22 November, two stages and one massive dance floor!

s r a t S WITH LILITH This week’s Venus moving to critical Virgo, Mercury and Saturn to the sign of the sting and Mars into canbe-tactless Sagittarius signals bad news for sensitives and advises not taking things personally…

E ARIES: Your ruler Mars moving to the sign of speaking out unearths something you weren’t aware you’ve been keeping from yourself. If trust issues are triggered that’s your cue to be extra discerning and discriminating, and to have backup plans in place in case of unexpected complications. F TAURUS: Venus your boss goddess sweeping into the sign of clean up your act declutters and streamlines your physical world: body, house and workplace. Simplifies and clarifies your mental processes: beliefs, ideas, plans and judgments. And finishes off with an emotional detox of forgiving and letting go… G GEMINI: Disciplinarian Saturn is strongly indicating that this week you reorganise your daily routines to support your physical and mental health more efficiently. And not be too quick to dismiss people or possibilities; reconsidered from a less judgmental perspective they may make valuable allies or opportunities. H CANCER: Resist defensive retaliation at this week’s sharp remarks – it won’t help. And though it’s useless suggesting you chuck outdated clutter (what clutter?), upgrade your wardrobe (retro’s always in!) or put that ancient junk on eBay (but they’re antiques!) then at least recycle what’s not being used.

I L EO: Although relationships have been high maintenance lately, they’re still a constructive and encouraging influence – especially with others now more willing to discuss compromises, consider alternatives and adjust personal parameters. Repay them this week by letting them know how much you appreciate them, then showing it. J VIRGO: Venus in Virgo likes peak performances, everyone at their best - though someone else’s best mightn’t look like what you had in mind and great expectations are often doomed to disappointment. But to err is human, or as Virgo Leonard Cohen says: ‘cracks are where the light gets in.’ K L IBRA: This week asks you to remove the rose tinted specs and take an eyes wide open look at what’s really going on. Saturn leaving Libra is the turning point for the real you to step onto October’s stage and authenticity is way more important than what others might think. L SCORPIO: Scorpios are notorious for pinpointing other people’s weaknesses, but using the sting this week could have messy repercussions. With Saturn (astrologers call it the Karmic Lord) moving into Scorpio for the forseeable future, your course is best expressed by the Zen proverb: Let go or be dragged…

October. Writer/director Robert Marchand, a recognised authority of the Character-based Improvisation Process, received endorsement from Mike Leigh as a result of his final-year project at AFTRS and is currently completing his PhD on the process at Flinders University. Mike Leigh makes films that are idiosyncratic, funny and heartfelt. Starting without a script, he spends time with each actor alone to create a unique character. The actor is sent out to research the background, class, work situation, home life and any other relevant aspect to this character, which is then developed further through improvisations. Robert Marchand’s Mike Leigh Process Workshop is a practical investigation of this unique process. It examines Mike’s methods from beginning to end in a dynamic, informative and interactive five-day workshop – participants acquire direct, firsthand experience by taking part in progressive character and scene building exercises. For more information visit www.screenworks.com.au or contact Screenworks 02 6687 1599.

LEARN TO DANCE BOLLYWOOD STYLE (OR ATTEND ANY OF THE MANY DANCE CLASSES) AT DANCING GROUND FESTIVAL AT THE HOSANNA FARM IN STOKERS SIDING THIS FRI-SUN

M SAGITTARIUS: This week’s tug of war has action planet Mars in Sagittarius urging you to go for it, while your retrograde ruler Jupiter says stay. What to do? Both, as in making a go of staying put. Meditating, gestating, then finally communicating what needs to be said. N CAPRICORN: Better spell things out this week, which has a significant potential for misunderstandings. Not what you want when you’ve got big decisions to make – or accept.

BOOK REVIEWS Flowers Of Baghdad by Bruce Lyman Set in Iraq in the period after the fall of Saddam Hussein, Flowers of Baghdad introduces us to two characters whose post-war experiences lead them into a collision course with each other. The first character is a small-business owner who holds great hope for the future of Baghdad after the American invasion. His optimism is mocked by those around him and remains very scared of how his children will fare in the war-torn country with a paucity of social institutions like schools. However, he maintains his sense of hope and goes to his shop every day looking forward to his first sale in months. The second is a career military engineer who was summarily dismissed from the Army as a suspected Hussein sympathiser. In fact he had only joined B’Ath party to further his career and not out of any political motive. Out of money and unable to get work because of this record, he agrees to use his engineering skills to design detonators, convincing himself that the bombs would only be used against the enemies of Iraq. He volunteers as a teacher as cover for this work but becomes

completely enamoured with teaching. In his class is the son of the first character. Review by John Mitchell

Kingdom Of Strangers by Zoe Ferraris A beautifully written and culturally sensitive work reminiscent of le Carré’s early work. While the story centres on a mystery, it offers so much more, both in its characterisations and its presentation of the world of sexual politics in Saudi Arabia. At the heart of Kingdom of Strangers are the themes of decency, respect and fairness. A liberal-minded detective, more concerned about solving crime than attending to the gender prescriptions held by the more conservative elements within the police force, joins forces with a bright young pathologist who is desperate to move into the homicide branch despite the many obstacles placed in her way. Solving the crime is complicated, and even undermined, by the personal stories of each of the protagonists. Zoe Ferraris transports into the heart of Saudi Arabia not unlike the manner in which Khaled Hosseini takes us into Afghanistan in The Kite Runner. The reader is confronted with a world where hiding and subtefuge are part of life, and everyone is hiding something.

Blood Red Road by Moira Young Blood Red Road aims to replicate the fast pace and intense nature of the Hunger Games series. Although it doesn’t get to this goal, Young’s book provides a great read, full of action and adventure. By not using speech marks, and writing in an American way with words like ‘git’ for ‘got’, Young pulls you into the futuristic universe. Overall, Blood Red Road provides a great read for teens around 12–15. By Will Fenwick Brisbane, age 14

Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller If you like the history of Greek Legends, then this debut prize winning novel may be for you. This epic love story told from the point of view of Patroclus before and during the Trojan war, details the relationship he shared with the warrior Achilles. While the plot is no mystery, the retelling by Madeline Miller modernises it somewhat and develops the characters to reveal more emotionality.

This is a compelling book.

Weaving the myths through the drama, Miller produced an enjoyable novel sprinkled with gossip. While I didn’t love it, the author’s passionate storytelling kept me with her to the end.

KATHERINE CASTLE For over twenty years Katherine has been painting the splendour of Australia’s unique and diverse wildlife. Her work is of exceptional quality, skill and attention to detail. Each work perfectly captures the beauty and personality of the wildlife she is portraying, and each work is filled with light and atmosphere. Katherine is now one of Australia’s foremost wildlife artists. In 2009 the homeware company

Following the success of these, plates, placemats and coasters were added to the range, followed by a second series, Birds of the World in February 2011. These are now sold in the hundreds of thousands in Australia and around the world in countries such as the United Kingdom, South Africa, Czech Republic, Germany

T HE CH A NN O N G A L L E R Y The Channon Gallery presents an exhibition of exciting new work from north coast artist Soren Carlbergg, opening at 6:30pm on Friday 12 October. The exhibition is titled ‘Organic Rhythm’, an apt phrase to describe Carlbergg’s work, which is extremely dynamic but retains an ‘organic’ flow and incredible depth of detail – something quite different in abstract style and a ‘must see’ for any lovers of contemporary Australian art. The exhibition runs from Friday 12 October through to 11 November. 52 Terania St, The Channon. Ph 02 6688 6322 or email info@ thechannongallery.com.

LISMORE REGIONAL GALLLERY UPCOMING EXHIBITIONS AFGHANISTAN: SHAUN GLADWELL In October 2009 Shaun Gladwell went to Afghanistan and several bases in the Middle East as an official war artist, commissioned by the Australian War Memorial.

Beasts Of The Southern Wild I was astonished to discover that the filmmaker Benh Zeitlin is a Jewish New Yorker still in his twenties. Not only does his wondrous movie display a wisdom and benevolence not normally attributable to one so young, but his characters and location – the bayou country of the deep South – are alive in a way that would

otherwise suggest they could only have been created by somebody who spoke their tongue, breathed their air and trudged through their alligatorinfested swamps. Hushpuppy (Quvenzhané Wallis) is a six-year-old black girl living with her dissolute father, Wink (Dwight Henry), in ‘the Bathtub’, a ramshackle community of society’s outcasts and deros. Over the horizon, behind a flood-wall, are the towers of industry and commerce, but

Hushpuppy will never be part of that world. When we first meet her she is wearing a singlet, orange knickers and white gumboots, and she is holding to her ear one of the chicks that will eventually provide a meal for her. She listens to its heartbeat, she speaks to us: ‘The whole universe depends on everything fitting together just right’. Despite their dire poverty and isolation, she and her Dad are devoted to each other and, in a way that is incomprehensible to more well-off outsiders, they and their fellows have found their own happiness and sense of belonging. Wink, however, is dying with an incurable illness and Hushpuppy must come to terms with the looming loss as a ruinous storm sweeps in from the coast. And all the time she is troubled by the fearsome idea of the prehistoric aurochs… There is more than just the occasional echo of Tree Of Life in the impressionistic, fluid approach, but where Terrence Malick gave us highfalutin drivel, Zeitlin’s modesty and unfailing eye for the unbowed humanity of his subjects is always inclusive. Wallis and Henry are both remarkable and, near the end, when little Hushpuppy confronts the aurochs, I’ll be damned if I didn’t burst into tears. Unique, bold and, even with the hand-held camera, a soaring achievement. ~ John Campbell

barely survives the ordeal. Shirley Moochmore (Rebecca Gibney), mother of five girls, is wont to burst into songs from The Sound of Music in the backyard. When she is carted off to the loony bin, her cheating husband Barry (Anthony LaPaglia), who is also the mayor of the town, picks up a hitchhiker, Shaz (Toni Collette), and installs her as his daughters’ minder. It’s a pretty shaky start, and things don’t improve much when it becomes apparent that Shaz, the dope-smoking free spirit (yawn) will turn the stultifying suburban world in which she finds herself upside down, while at the same time transforming the lives of her charges. The representations of the ‘conformist’ neighbours goes beyond parody into feeble cliché and Collette, great actress though she is, would have served her character better by not playing it in Crocodile Dundee mode – nobody says ‘youse’ all the time. Apart from an hilarious set-piece involving Shaz, the stitched-up bitch next door and her long-legged daughter, the jokes hit the ground with a deafening thud, but unexpectedly there are Mental more serious rabbits pulled What a strange movie. It shifts from the hat that dramatically from attempted humour change the movie’s tone. to far-fetched melodrama Coral (Lily Sullivan), the eldest without warning and concludes Moochmore sister, embarks in silliness. The script, at on a romance with Trout times incoherent, at others (Sam Clark), the boy who annoyingly gauche, has the works at the aquarium run by imprint of one that’s been mysterious, threatening Trevor written by committee, which, (Liev Scheiber), who happens given the involvement of no to be deeply involved in the fewer than three government funding bodies, might not be too far from the truth – it

1. Jad Capelja and Nell Schofield (who, incidentally, directed a short called Brokeback Mountain Bikes) star in Bruce Beresford’s 1981 hit Puberty Blues (ABC1, Saturday 8.30pm), based on the book by Gabrielle Carey and the now tediously famous Kathy Lette. Two schoolgirls lodge themselves in the cool, but chauvinist, Cronulla Beach surfie set. They learn that chicks can surf, too. You can find out more about the less-famous Carey at http:// gabriellecarey.com.au. 2. Guy Pearce stars in the new Australian series of Jack Irish (ABC1, Sunday, 8.30pm), about a former criminal lawyer turned private investigator and debt collector in the mean streets of Melbourne. The series is based on the novels by Peter Temple, surely one of Australia’s best writers and the deserved winner of the Miles Franklin Literary Award for Truth, about his other fictional star, police detective inspector Steve Villani.

Juan in Utopia VICTORIA COSFORD

Chilean-born Juan has only been here for about a year, which is how old he was when his Spanish parents, in pursuit of a better life, brought the family to Australia and settled in Sydney’s Fairfield. Cooking was always an important aspect of homelife, his mother teaching her son the traditional Spanish dishes she had grown up with.

And with that he was off, securing, at the age of 20, a job at GPO restaurant in Martin Place where he stayed for four years and learned, amongst other things, about respect and tradition. There followed Courtney’s Brasserie, Aqua Dining and Wildfire, until a move to Newcastle led to firstly the hatted Bacchus restaurant then the hatted Zest. It was at the latter Nelson Bay establishment where his passion blossomed, where his eyes were opened to new modern techniques, molecular cuisine and sous-vide cooking. From that point onward Juan would begin to obsessively research recipes, trends and culinary ideas, a practice he continues today.

O-Sushi

After maintaining the hat at Zest for two years he was offered another job at another Nelson Bay place, but ‘it didn’t really work out’, he tells me. And so he headed north for a holiday, on a whim leaving his resume at a handful of local restaurants. ‘The next day’, he says, ‘I was offered the job as head chef at Utopia.’ Whose lovely menu is Juan’s creation, and studded with evidence of not only his Spanish heritage but also his passion for innovation and experimental, cutting-edge technique. The beer cure for the ocean trout was, he says, his own invention, a tweaking of a similar dish he would make at Bacchus. And if it’s not on the current menu then it should be restored immediately: it has to be his signature dish!

KINGSCLIFF

I track its creator down at Utopia restaurant in Bangalow where he is not only head chef but also general manager. He is still limping from an injury he sustained to his knee during a game of soccer that had occurred so inconveniently the Sunday before our Stone & Wood event, to which he had arrived on crutches and doped up to the eyeballs, he admitted, on pain-killers in order to get through it all.

Indeed so much did Juan enjoy cooking that it was during his apprenticeship as an electrician that his father suggested he switch over to that of a chef, which he subsequently underwent at Parramatta’s General Bourke Hotel. He tells me that one of the waiters there asked him what he was doing there, wasting his talent, telling him he should ‘try Sydney’.

It was at a corporate team-building exercise where I first met Juan Hernandez. Out at the Stone & Wood Brewery we were the two chefs demonstrating dishes to a group of bank employees up from Sydney, under the auspices of the Bangalow Cooking School – dishes ideally featuring beer. On my side the trestle table was adorned with the rustic ingredients that would go into my rustic menu – peperonata; olive and herb beer breads; cannelloni bean puree – while on Juan’s side his groaned under banks of baby vegetables, an entire ocean trout, bottles bearing mysterious liquids, a blowtorch. We could not have been better contrasted, and clearly it was the less energetic members of the group who gravitated toward me and perhaps the more serious ones toward Juan. Later, much later when it was all over,

The French really know how to do it. Baguettes, croissants, macarons‌ Mullumbimby local Greg Wilton knew this when he went to New Caledonia to train under French pastry chefs. Using local, organic 5/108 Stuart Street, and natural ingredients, Greg is baking his range Mullumbimby of delectable pastries, breads and cakes, all made 0466 605 007 from Scratch. The next time you’ve got a celebration info@scratchpatisserie.com.au or lazy morning to enjoy, do it deliciously – order scratchpatisserie.com.au online or find them at the Byron Bay Farmers Market.

PROPOSAL TO UPGRADE A MOBILE PHONE BASE STATION LOCATED AT KINGSCLIFF Telstra plans to upgrade an existing telecommunications facility located at McPhail Ave, Kingscliff NSW 2487 (Lot 115 on DP241663, 113 on DP240966, 101 on DP31539 and 1 on DP856787). Telstra proposes to remove eight (8) existing panel antennas (including two DB844H90-XY antennas (1.22m long), three CPX310R antennas (2.63m long), two CPX406R antennas (1.59m long) and one MTPA-8908-ME antenna (2.28m long)). The proposed upgrade consists of installing eight (8) CNNPX308R-6P panel antennas (2.12m long) at centreline elevations of 14m (for 4 antennas) and 12.5m (for 4 antennas) on the existing water reservoir. Any electronic equipment associated with the proposed installation would be housed inside the existing equipment shelter at the base of the facility.

Tossers to play Bankers in Shand final Australians at International Enduro Brian Mollet

The Nick Shand Memorial trophy is a goblet sculpted by the world-famous glass artist and friend of Mr Shand, Colin Heaney, but rarely sees the light of day after the notorious trophy incident of 05, when the original goblet was obliterated at a pre-match function. This Sunday both the trophy and the ‘Shand shards’ will be at Lomath oval for the grand final after the second semi was fought to its conclusion on the weekend. Thrashed into shape by Ash, and rigorously drilled by Janny, the Byron Full-Tossers had the task of overcoming the competition’s grooviest team, the Suffolk Swingers. Levi called correctly for the Swingers and invited Byron to field with conditions warm and the famous turf parched and thirsty as a

footy team on mad Monday. Hughsie soared early with consecutive boundaries but was shot down by Franky (2–11) who gets more breakthroughs than a teenage Lothario. Adam(2–5) knifed an off-cutter through Chi’s guard and the Swingers were lurching. Carl (27) and Gav put some oil on the hinges but Gav fell to a slower ball from Ash reminiscent of the late lamented ‘witch doctor’ Ed Reid. Lionel (21) and George, like multi-mortgagees, showed plenty of commitment. Doug, Jan, Eddie and Rich all bagged wickets and the Full-Tossers were catching everything, like the dreaded camera on St Helena hill. The last wicket fell in the final over with the Swingers pendulating to 128. Openers Greg (31 n/o) and Simon came out ready to show some trademark Byron brashness.

Levi took the new ball with a howling southeasterly at his back and soon found more edges than Robbie Waterhouse’s hairdresser. It seemed the sirens of misfortune were toying with him as chances went begging, then pleading, then imploring. Byron raced to 48 before Jordan hit the stumps for the first scalp but Rich and Adam kept the score bounding along. The Suffolk lads rallied and you could feel the relief as three wickets fell for five including a double for Carl(2–17). Eddie(27 n/o) and Christian were waiting at the fireplace to bludgeon Santa however, and the Full-Tossers roared home in 18 overs. This has earned them the right to play the Left Bankers in this Sunday’s Shand Final, a prospect that has local sport fans hugging themselves and shivering with delight.

How watching the Olympics and Paralympics can break down stereotypes Paul Oliver

As the London 2012 Paralympic Games close, it is worth reflecting on the power they have to make us reflect on our stereotypes or prejudices. The Olympics and Paralympics provide important lessons to us all, which reach far beyond the sporting sphere. These two events bring together athletes from more countries than the United Nations and immerse them in a cauldron of intense physical and mental competition, which is heightened by fierce rivalries and underpinned by passionate nationalistic pride. Despite these provocative elements, the participants all seem to get along. A world-wide audience observes this spectacle, absorbing the fact that it is possible for people from a myriad of races, ethnicities, religions, cultures, genders, sexualities, ages and abilities to come together and produce the best of human performance and spirit. We witness courage, dignity, elation, despair and relief;

character traits and emotions that are universal, which we can understand and relate to because they make us human. Nineteenth century social commentator William Hazlitt wrote: ’Prejudice is the child of ignorance.’ Nothing much has changed – the small steps of understanding we take away from the games can reduce our ignorance and assist us to overcome prejudices and stereotypes we may hold onto. Just think of some of the people and stories that this year’s Olympic and Paralympic Games have thrown forward to make us reconsider our stereotypes or prejudices. How could you not challenge your preconceptions of people with a disability after watching the efforts of the inspirational ‘Blade runner’, South African Oscar Pistorius, one of the few disabled athletes to compete at an Olympic Games? The Paralympics also challenge the way we think about disability. Sport is supposedly based on the ethos of ‘play, competition and opportunities being fair and equal’, but we all

know this isn’t the case. Many of the athletes who competed in London at the Paralympic Games this year have overcome structural and institutional barriers, discrimination, exclusion and gross inequality of chance, choice and facilities throughout their careers. The reality is no playing field is equal. The fact that these competitors have still reached the top despite these barriers makes their achievements all the more worthy of our respect and understanding. Time will tell whether this understanding can break the barriers of discrimination and inequality in sport – and society at large. As I listened to John Lennon’s Imagine playing to the closing ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games, the optimist in me dared to dream. The realist in me can only hope. Paul Oliver has more than 20 years’ experience in the sport and human rights area, including as a sports journalist/editor, media advisor and communications director at the Australian Human Rights Commission. In 2006, Paul wrote the report ‘What’s the Score? A Survey of Cultural Diversity and Racism in Australian Sport’. Paul is currently the national manager of Play by the Rules.

Australia’s Senior Trophy team have finished in second position at the 2012 International Six Day Enduro held in Saxony Germany over September 24–29, in a display of grit and determination. The six-rider team from Australia included Glenn Kearney, Daniel Milner, Christopher Hollis, Matthew Phillips, Josh Strang and Toby Price. They pulled together to give Australia its best-ever result at the event finishing second to team France who dominated the competition, winning by a margin of over thirty-seven minutes. The second-place finish was not an easy one for the Australians as Price and Kearney carried some major injuries sustained during the early days of the 2012 event.

Price busted his ribs on day three while Kearney raced the second half of the event with a badly damaged knee; Phillips also had his share of problems on day five losing a footpeg mid stage, though still able to finish out the day. Price was also able to secure an individual podium result, finishing second in the E3 class behind French riderChristophe Nambotin, who also took out the outright individual honours. Phillips finished as Australia’s highest-placed outright finisher in seventh place and was one of three Aussies to finish inside the top ten with Strang and Price finishing 9th and 10th respectively. Australia’s Junior Trophy team held onto their fourthplace finish with, Luka Bussa,

Mitcham Harper, Ben Burrell and local boy Lachlan Stanford putting in a very strong performance and showing that Australia’s future enduro talent is on par with the world’s best. Securing a second podium for Australia was the women’s Trophy team of Jessica Gardiner, Tanya Hearn and Tayla Jones. The three young women took on teams with vastly more experience and were able to finish in third position behind winners France and the second placed home-ground-advantage team Germany. With the ISDE now over for 2012, Australia’s team riders will now head home to make final preparations for the Australian Four Day Enduro that takes place in Warragul, Victoria from 24th through to the 27th of October.

The groms are off and surfing Last Thursday was the first day of the Rip Curl GromSearch presented by Telstra in Victoria, and saw perfect summerlike conditions on offer for over 100 of Australia’s best 16-years-and-under surfers as they swarmed the beach for day one of the three-day Victorian event. The premier 16-and-under division utilised the best of the clean conditions to get things moving with solid scores and progressive surfing.

Luke Hynd (Burleigh Heads) led the charge with a massive aerial netting him a 9.33 and contributing to the day’s highest heat total. Jackson Baker (Merewether), Darcy Crump (Avalon) and Harry Bryant (Noosa) were the only other nine-point rides of the day, with Bryant nailing the top score with a 9.60 out of 10. His efforts earned the Telstra Wave of the Day but he was left in second place behind Jackson Coffey (Crescent Head) as he

searched for a second score that never came. The girls 16-and-under division saw the closest heat of the day with local girl Zoe Clarke (Jan Juc) battling all heat only to end up tied on a combined two-wave heat total of 12.30 with Laura Poncini (Sunshine Coast). The judges had to go to a count-back with Zoe awarded the win with a superior back-up wave. See up-to-date event info at: www.surfingaustralia.com.

Byron Shire Buyers Agent Q&A by Hans Lovejoy

Will Sorrell

With 17 years as a realtor in the shire Will Sorrell from Elders New Brighton/Ocean Shores is one of the longestestablished operators in the north of the shire. My wife Sheena and I became partners with Rhonda back in 2000. The plan was for Rhonda to retire at the end of 2004 and we would take over the company. I became principal in 2005 when Rhonda retired. All went to plan and what was a very good partnership came to an end. It was important for Sheena and me that we kept the business heading in the right direction not only for us but also for all the years Rhonda had put into building the business up and creating its unique reputation. While I am the principal, Sheena is the office manager and wears many hats within the company. Her real estate background stems from her time with Richardson & Wrench in Brunswick Heads. Her experience in the field of office administration and property management has been the catalyst behind our success in building a more than average size rent roll, both permanent and holiday. We have also just recently purchased the rent roll of PRD Ocean shores. This move was within our Business Plan which is to continue growth within the company. From its humble beginnings with Rhonda in 1979 to now, 33 years on,

we are proud of our achievements and our aim is to be recognised as one of the leading real estates in the north of the shire long term. We currently manage 300 + properties, which makes our office a very busy and active one. We have six staff members: Mark Lycos (Licensed Sales Consultant), Kylie Edwards (Sales Support), Linda Evans (Property Manager), Tad Burcon (Property Manager), Rosetta Smiriglia and Belinda Egan (Reception/Holiday Management). I understand you have lived in the area 30 years. How has Ocean Shores grown? Sheena and I became a couple from our first year in high school and we married in 1975. We first came to Ocean Shores in 1973 to visit my parents, who had just taken up the position of managing the Ocean Shores Pro Shop at the Ocean Shores Country Club. There wasn’t a whole lot here back then; the Club was the centre of everything. From memory, apart from the club there was a supermarket at our main entrance, now a hotel, and six or eight shops being built down at the shopping centre. We continued to visit at least once a year for the next 10

years bringing our two children with us on the 2000km trek up north. Eventually the Byron Shire lifestyle slowly but surely took a hold of us. After visiting Ocean Shores for Christmas in 1982 we were driving home back to Mornington Peninsula in Victoria and we decided to put our house on the market and move up. Our daughter Hayley was just four and our son Luke was two. If we were going to do it, now was the right time for them. We had just finished building our first home; I had a great job with Esso Refinery at Westernport. Anyway the house sold within a few weeks, I resigned my job, we packed up, said goodbye to family and friends and we were on the road to Ocean Shores. During the time of packing up the house we had bought Splashes Ice-Cream Parlour in Brunswick Heads; we realised we would need to ‘buy’ ourselves a job until we got settled. Our friends and family down south thought we had lost our marbles and that we would return with our tail between our legs. I don’t recall there being such a thing as an ice-cream parlour in Victoria so I understood their concerns. Now 30 years on we have no regrets. We have witnessed Ocean Shores grow from what was really a retirement village to what is now a diverse village with an extensive shopping centre complete with all necessary essential services and a very good mix of young and old. All this of course means employment, which was sadly lacking 30 years ago when we made our leap of faith and purchased the ice-cream parlour. Glad to say the parlour is still a success today. Ocean Shores was the brainchild of Wendell West back in the late 60s, buying out several dairy farms. It was huge deal with an American company coming in and buying up land to develop,

residential, golf course, golf club, even a marina were all planned, Tyagarah airstrip was also going to be redeveloped to fly in the wealthy buyers. Wendell West was taken over by Princess Properties and a lot of you would remember the legendary Pat Boone’s involvement. The anchor I believe to the whole project was based around the Country Club and Golf Course. The very best golf course designers of the day were bought in to design the layout. They were Merv Barnes, Bruce Devlin and Von Hagge. The first game was played in May 1972. I am pretty sure all the above would be happy with what has been achieved 40 years on. Yes, Ocean Shores did struggle for a long time to establish its own identity but the last 10–15 years I believe has seen it emerge as a precinct where people, whether on retirement or as a young family, want to live. It is unique; most of my clients are from Brisbane and the Gold Coast and they just want to get out of the hustle and bustle, but still be in easy reach of it; that is what Ocean Shores offers. What drew you to real estate? I can’t say I was drawn to real estate, it just happened. I had been running a business in Brunswick Heads for many years, which I had just sold, and not really knowing what I would get into next. From memory Rhonda Browning, whom Sheena and I had known for years, approached me, she had heard I had sold and said ‘what are you going to do now? Want a job?’ I had already turned 40 not a good age to be out of a job. Of course I accepted (Thanks, Rhonda). My parents’ background was in retail; they owned for many years an old-fashioned drapery store back in Hastings, Victoria. I was due to step into Dad’s shoes and take over the company. I had completed a cadetship with a large retail chain when my parents

<echowebsection=Real Estate>

received an offer they could not refuse and sold up. However the background has been invaluable and has put me in good stead in my real estate profession. What community work and you involved with? Our community work mainly involves sponsoring local community events and sporting groups. All things local are important to us and we try our best to contribute what we can. Obviously schools and the everstruggling sporting clubs are always sponsored. We also sponsor two World Vision children and have done so for many years, watching them growing up and proud that we are hopefully making some improvements to theirs and their villages’ daily life. I know I shouldn’t have favourites but we enjoy sponsoring events up at the Ocean Shores Country Club both golf and bowls. The club is so important to our community, not only the golfers and bowlers, but it has become the hub for many community events. A testament to its use is the recent extensive revamp. While many clubs are struggling to keep their doors open, not so with Ocean Shores Country Club. What are your hobbies? Real Estate doesn’t leave a lot of time for hobbies, but having said that I always try and squeeze a game of golf in each week. However boating and fishing are my number one hobbies. I find it a total unwind and I love getting

out on the high seas with our son Luke who, luckily for me, has the same bug, so we get to spend some quality father-and-son time. Outside my passion for my job, my family and friends mean every thing. I love get-togethers; give me the barbecue tongs and a cold beer and I am one content bloke. I am a lifelong supporter and have a great passion for AFL football. I am a diehard Carlton supporter. I am hoping that our three grandchildren, all boys, will follow Pop in the support of the mighty Blues. I am also a big fan of rugby league and follow poor old Parramatta Eels. They have struggled ever since I chose them as my team 30 years ago. Maybe I should change to the Storm. To succeed in real estate you need passion and loads of it. As an owner of a real estate business it is a rollercoaster ride; it is with you 24/7. It is about people and their lives. It can be challenging but mostly it is very rewarding. I have a responsibility not only to my clients, my staff, my community and myself but also to the real estate industry, to do the right thing; that’s what I am passionate about. I will continue to strive for a reputation of honesty, responsibility and respectability not only for myself, my family and my business but also for the real estate industry.

According to an SMH report last Saturday, ‘The Alan Jones scandal has claimed its first victim with Woolworths executive and prominent Liberal party member, Simon Berger, tendering his resignation last night.’ Mr Berger, you may remember, was the ‘community relations’ manager who attempted to soothe Mullum over the arrival of the behemoth in the town. He was MC at that doom-laden dinner and also arranged for the auction of the chaff bag jacket. On his Facebook page Mr Berger noted, ‘I have really wanted to explain myself, but had a responsibility to my employer to not unfairly attach them any further to a controversy or add fuel to a bushfire.’ â– â– â– â–

While the youth binge-drinking debate rages on in our letters pages, the Byron Youth Service is ‘asking all Australians to stop and think about their use of alcohol and donate, via our website www. cringethebinge.com.au, what they would normally spend on alcohol’ on the National Weekend of Action, November 9–11. Judging by the number of DUI charges in our local courts, they should pick up a motza.

John Murray, manager of the New South Wales Business Chamber, is suggesting the northern rivers change its name to the Green Coast. According to the ABC, Murray said that would give passengers arriving at the Coolangatta Airport a choice between the green and gold coasts. Yeah, it’s, like, so hard to make a decision without a name on it. Most of the names for this socalled region have been boring and bland – or misleading, like ‘Tropical NSW’. How about something weird? Send suggestions to editor@echo.net.au with ‘Rebrand The Coast’ in the subject window. â– â– â– â–

The dry weather has meant not only less water but also more ticks, so be on the alert. Check under your pet’s collars and scan yourself and the anklebiters, if you have any, for the blood-suckers. Despite the dry, Rous Water says its dam level is still at 95 per cent and now we’ve mentioned how dry it is in print, it’s bound to rain. â– â– â– â–

While President Obama calls on the UN for tolerance, the US military is busy scaring the shit of Pakistani citizens and creating holy warriors with their use of killer drones. Find out more and read the Stanford/NYU report ‘Living Under Drones’ at http://livingunderdrones.org/. â– â– â– â–

At the same UN meeting, our near neighbour Indonesia was lobbying for an international law criminalising blasphemy. Holy fuck, how many halfbaked religious absurdities would you have to respect? The International Humanist and Ethical Union (www.iheu.org/) has spoken against the proposal. Ask yourself: what would the Flying Spaghetti Monster do? See www.venganza.org, and don’t say a word against His Noodly Appendages. â– â– â– â–

‘Religion grants its adherents malign, intoxicating and morally corrosive sensations. Destroying intellectual freedom is always evil, but only religion makes doing evil feel quite so good.’ – Philip Pullman, author of His Dark Materials, commenting on the controversy surrounding his work.

Grail Quest Introduction to Grail Quest (an 8-week course) which is the opening term of the one-year parttime foundation course.

...a journey into the Spiritual Science of Rudolf Steiner...

GRAIL QUEST offers a modern form of adult education based on the work of Rudolf Steiner. Through a deepened understanding of the inner workings of the world and ourselves, inner development and soul transformation are brought about. This in turn leads to an enhanced capacity to transform the outer world. The course consists of lectures, discussions and workshops which are expanded through artistic experiences in music, painting, sculpture, story telling, speech, drama and craft. No previous artistic experience is necessary. The emphasis of the course is away from competition and is focused on individual growth. The course aims to teach through the heart, hand and mind and to bring our efforts to fruition through love of the deed. GRAIL QUEST is also a prerequisite for Steiner Teacher Training programs.

Some of the themes explored in the course are: The Quest for Meaning. The Elements. The Temperaments. The Origins of the Earth & Humanity. The Evolution of Consciousness. Christology. Biodynamics. The Search for the Holy Grail. Life Phases: an Exploration of Biography. 8 week Introductory Course: $600 Tuesday 4.30 – 7.30pm and Thursday 4.30 – 7.30pm Plus 2 Saturdays 9.30 – 3:30pm Commencing 5th February Venue: Cape Byron Steiner School, McGettigans Lane, Ewingsdale Enquiries: Gerry Josephson 0406 788 050 or 6684 8280
