Online news poll Remembering surfing luminaries hijacked by proCSG investors …with a celebration of Hans Lovejoy
It’s been revealed that in late July this year, coal-seam gas shareholders successfully skewed a Northern Star online poll and personally targeted its online producer’s Facebook account. Journalist Dominic Feain told The Echo that the poll asked who was in favour of CSG. ‘By deleting cookies and re-voting they managed to flood the poll with pro-CSG votes,’ Mr Feain said. ‘The anti-CSG lobby counter-spammed before we pulled it at about 12,000 votes – usually we’ll get a couple of hundred.’ Mr Feain added, ‘It appeared to me to be attempted share-ramping. ‘We tracked their IP addresses and accounts and reported them to police and the ASX but nothing eventuated.’
Conspired publicy Remarkably, the entire action transpired publicy on online stock market forum www.hotcopper.com.au, where members both conspired to spam the online poll and posted instructions on how to skew the results. The members, who are Metgasco investors, also investigated Mr Feain’s background while other comments made reference to CSG-Free activists as ‘full time bludgers… while the rest of us actually spend our time earning a real living.’ Known as ‘trolls’ in internet parlance, members were also scathing of residents’ behaviour at the recent public meeting in Lismore and local media reports on the issue. The full exchange is published – as of going to press – at http://bit.ly/UOVOkM. Metgasco shares have been on a downward slide since mid October and recorded its lowest price ever for the year at 15.5 cents a share last Thursday, according to www.asx.com.au.

Plea for witnesses to brutal Byron attack Chris Dobney
Witnesses are still being sought for the horrific bashing of Byron Beach Café’s head chef, Nathan Foord. The 32-year-old Byron resident now has two plates in his jaw, serious concussion following three bleeds on the brain, and six teeth missing after a violent attack in Jonson Street, Byron Bay, on the morning of December 1. Nathan says he has no memory of the attack or of the man who delivered a single roundhouse kick to the face that caused him to fall unconscious onto the pavement. Nathan’s sister Nikki and Beach Café owner Ben Kirkwood are imploring anyone who may have witnessed the incident to come forward. ‘This is very sad and frightening for us all and yet another case that supports our calls for better CCTV on our streets,’ Mr Kirkwood said, who is also vice-president of Byron’s business chamber, Byron United. ‘This also needs to serve as a warning for all of us, our friends, and staff to be very careful out there.’
Wilsons Creek residents asked to help fix landslip Hans Lovejoy
Residents affected by the Wilsons Creek Road landslip are being invited by Council to join a Project Reference Group (PRG) to help facilitate quick repair to the road. The announcement comes after a recent community meeting and a successful notice of motion (NOM) by Cr Duncan Dey at Thursday’s Council meeting. Council is aiming to hold its first PRG meeting this month. But the vote wasn’t a unanimous one; Cr Diane Woods voiced her concerns with, ‘This is the worse case of micro-management I have seen and an insult to our staff. ‘They are responsible for this. It
won’t speed up the work…’ Cr Woods asked staff if a PRG would assist in getting the project done quicker. Acting GM Phil Holloway replied that any conflict within the group could lead to delays, which would be concern for staff. At the meeting, Cr Dey said, ‘After 11 months not a lot is happening. The longer it goes on there will be more risks. We have been lucky nothing has happened so far.’ Councillors Duncan Dey, Rose Wanchap and Basil Cameron will form the PRG, along with six residents who are yet to be appointed. Representatives will also be invited from Roads and Maritime Services (RMS), other state authorities and members of parliament.
Cr Dey said the the PRG would offer expertise where it could, assist in preparing a project time-frame, consider options for earliest completion and advise on risks to the community in keeping the road closed to various staged load limits. He also requested that Council write to relevant state government departments asking for assistance with opening of fire trails or tracks that could be used in an emergency, facilitation of school transport arrangements and provision of water. ‘Our united approach will deliver a strong message to state government that we need rapid support and funding to restore full access to WilsonCreek,’ Cr Dey said. Mayor Simon Richardson said the
PRG was an opportunity to combine Council and community commitment and showed faith in completing the restoration works as quickly as possible. ‘The establishment of a PRG demonstrates Council’s willingness to take up the community’s offer to be involved with the works and create a forum where people can converse and share their skills. ‘Council supports the abilities and expertise in both staff and the wider community to get things done and done well,’ Mayor Richardson said. The slip occurred before the primary school on January 26 this year after heavy rain and has severely restricted traffic, including water deliveries and emergency services.

Removing the spur groynes in front of Byron Bay’s main beach carpark and reusing the rocks to build a new seawall there is one of the favoured options to upgrade and protect the town’s iconic beachfront from erosion.

Byron Shire Council is sticking to its guns in its fight against a land grab by the state-run managers of Brunswick Heads’ three Crown reserve caravan parks. But in a conciliatory move last Thursday, Council paved the way for the mostly elderly longterm residents of cabins illegally encroaching on the foreshore to be relocated over time so as not to greatly impact on them. Around 14 permanent residents of The Terrace Caravan Park are affected by Council’s new licensing conditions for the parks, which aim to main-
tain a three-metre foreshore buffer for public access right along the foreshore. The North Coast Accommodation Trust (NCAT), which administers the public parks, is refusing to accept Council’s new licensing conditions, claiming they had not been consulted and would lose some cabin sites at The Terrace, Massey Greene and Ferry Reserve caravan parks. But the parks, which already take up the bulk of the village’s public foreshore land, have expanded over the years with illegal foreshore and road-reserve encroachments.
The Ferry Reserve caravan park’s size has been substantially increased with old Pacific Highway land and the old Fins restaurant building included in its new boundaries. At Council’s meeting last Thursday, Foreshore Protection Group (FPG) spokesperson Patricia Warren urged councillors to ensure public foreshore access along the Brunswick River and its tributary Simpsons Creek was kept outside the operational area of the caravan parks. Ms Warren said this would give ‘some certainty that in the event of the long-term com-
mercial leasing of the parks access along the foreshore is retained for public use’. She said there was widespread community support for the proposed caravan park boundaries in Council’s licencerenewal agreement with NCAT. Mrs Warren made a number of suggestions for amendments to the licensing conditions in order to help NCAT ‘overcome some of its non-compliance problems’, some of which Council took on board.

Ballina business dreams up e-car Story & photo Eve Jeffery
Howard Hughes says he was mildly skeptical of climate change, but after research into the subject it prompted him into doing something about it. And so the Road-e was born. Based in Ballina, Hughes Engineering’s expansion from aeroplanes to electric vehicles was a desire to contribute to climate change solutions. The result is what he hopes will be Australia’s first production, all Australian designed, three-seat, electric motor vehicle – but wait! Here’s the kicker: these days anything that can run on electricity can run on solar power and this is just where Howard sees the vehicle going.

Inquiry into reducing youth alcohol abuse Strategies to reduce alcohol abuse among young people in NSW are being explored in an inquiry by the Social Issues Committee. The committee, which is funded by the state government, will examine the effect of alcohol advertisements and promotions on young people and will consider restrictions on these as a preventative strategy to target this social issue. ‘Binge drinking and associated antisocial behaviour among young people is a significant problem,’ said Niall Blair MLC, chair of the Social
Issues Committee. ‘Young people are vulnerable to the perceived social benefits of consuming alcohol, whether imposed by culture, peer pressure or advertisements and promotions. ‘The impacts of alcohol abuse can spread into the workplace, on roads and at public venues, which ultimately places a drain on our healthcare system.’ The inquiry will also examine measures to minimise the impact of alcohol in the workplace and to reduce alcoholrelated violence in and around licensed venues.
This also includes measures to address the impacts of alcohol abuse on the health system. ‘As the impacts of alcohol abuse among young people are widespread throughout the community, the committee is actively seeking submissions from all relevant individuals and groups.’ The closing date for submissions is Friday March 1, 2013. For more information including terms of reference and submissions, visit www.parliament. nsw.gov.au/socialissue or contact the committee secretariat on 02 9230 2412.

Work to shut some Byron sports fields Drainage works have commenced this week by Byron Council at the Byron Regional Sport and Cultural Complex fields (BRSCC) on Ewingsdale Road. Council, who currently manage the facility, say the works will require complete closure of the Cornell Family fields and the internal field at the Herb Elliott (athletics) fields.
Drainage addressed The actual running track itself will not be affected, say Council, and complete closure is required to allow the turf to be fully reinstated prior to use. www.echo.net.au
Council’s executive manager of community infrastructure, Phil Holloway, said the works involved the top two centimetres of soil being removed, top dressed with a coarse sand and watered to establish the new growing turf. ‘The works are being undertaken at this time of year to ensure a rapid growing season and have the fields ready for 2013. This will mean that the northern fields will be closed and cannot be played on until the end of January subject to weather. ‘Sporting teams who are using the fields have been advised.
However, Little Athletics will be still be able use the running track of the Herb Elliott field,’ he said. The remediation works are expected to cost approximately $82,000 and are being fund from the complex’s maintenance budget. On the inside of the building, management agreements between Council and the PCYC to manage the multipurpose facility are progressing. Mr Holloway said that Council will continue to run the complex until the PCYC was in place, which looks like occurring in March or April of 2013. <echowebsection=Local News>

Meet the north coast koala’s new guardians Story & photos Eve Jeffery
A new joint venture between the Byron and Tweed shires will see your carbon tax dollars at work. Funded by Clean Energy Future, Koala Connections is a project to restore koala habitat and linkages and endangered ecological communities along the far north coastal areas. The welfare of koalas is becoming a major issue in the shire and Council’s draft Koala Plan of Management is due to be completed in this month. It will then be reported to council and hopefully out on public exhibition early in the new year. Byron Shire Council’s team leader of natural resources, Angus Underwood, says the Koala Connections project will ask for help from residents. ‘There will be a lot of community engagement’, he says. ‘We will be getting onto properties and killing weeds and addressing threats to koalas and wildlife in general.’
Mapping corridor At the ground level, Council has a new Koala Connections project officer who will be managing things at the Byron Shire end of the program. Joanne Green will be in the field literally, as she will identify and visit landowners and properties that would be suitable for

restoration and revegetation works. ‘We will be looking at mapping a koala corridor’, she says. ‘We are going to put in a toll-free highway for koalas from the east to the west and from the north to the south.’ Jo says that the project will look at ways to improve connectivity across the landscape including obstacles such as the Pacific Highway. ‘Connectivity is the key word. We are working out ways we can create a safe passage for koalas.’ Jo says the biggest issue for koalas in the Byron Shire is
the fragmentation of the habitat but there are other problems for koalas to contend with. ‘The habitat is shrinking but it’s death by a thousand cuts. There are so many issues impacting on koalas. There are wild dogs and foxes and things like that as well as the loss of habitat.’ Jo says that what the project aims to do it rebuild quality habitat because a lot of the area that does exist is damaged. ‘In some areas it’s weedy, the canopy is not very good and the trees aren’t very healthy, so we will be looking at ways
of improving that. We will be looking at properties that have good vegetation on them that we can work on.’ Jo will work closely during the project with a steering committee which is a range of stakeholders including National Parks, the Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH), Friends of the Koala, Landcare and the Byron Biodiversity consortium. Landholders and anyone interested in the project can contact Jo at Council on 6626 7068 or email joanne.green@byron. nsw.gov.au.

Challenging accepted gene theory
24/7 VET ON DUTY
Dr Bruce Lipton reveals new science that’s literally ahead of accepted DNA biology elements of the subconscious mind. The conscious mind is a creative mind. If I ask you what are you doing next week, and you come up with an answer, the answer comes from the conscious creative mind. ‘The subconscious mind is equivalent to a tape recorder, video recorder, to record your life experiences and as you want to record them and repeat them.
Mandy Nolan
Bruce Lipton Ph D is a cell biologist, a lecturer, and an internationally recognised leader whose work bridges science and spirit. He is the best-selling author of The Biology of Belief, a book whose thesis questions the preexisiting assumption that genes and DNA control our biology. Dr Lipton argues that our DNA is controlled by signals from outside the cell, including the energetic messages emanating from our positive and negative thoughts. ‘When we talk about genetic control, that’s a belief that genes control things,’ says Lipton, ‘which is very important because basically it’s the greatest error that we bought into. ‘We generally talk about genes turning on and off, which is a kind of belief that genes are selfactualising, meaning that genes make decisions – “this gene gave me cancer” and “this gene gave me cardiovascular disease”’. Lipton believes this central dogma is not just wrong, it makes us victims. ‘We didn’t pick the genes we came with, and since we can’t change the genes if we don’t like our traits, then the concepts of genetic control through the conventional teaching is a concept of victimisation where people are victims because their life is controlled by genes.’
Epigenetic science ‘Genes are molecular blueprints’, says Lipton, just like a linear blueprint. ‘Blueprints have no on and off. Ask an architect if the blueprint she’s working on is on or off and she’ll look at you like, “What are you crazy?” There’s no on and off to a blueprint. ‘There’s a new science now

called epigenetics; the difference is the epi, the epi prefix is literally ‘above’, so when you say the word epigenetic control, what you are saying is control above the genes and this is the new science that reveals that the genes are not self-actualising, but the cell can select the blueprint, read the blueprint, and not only select and read them, but they can modify the output of the blueprint. ‘So the cell is like a contractor using the DNA as blueprints and those blueprints are used to make the building blocks of the cell, which provides for its structure and its function. ‘And yet through epigenetics you can change the readout of genes and create thousands of variations of proteins from the same gene blueprint. The point is very simple, epigenetics reveals that environmental information is what is controlling the genetic readout.’ According to Lipton, our genes do not dictate who we are or how we behave. ‘Epigenetics is a new vision about how we are masters of heredity for a simple reason: we select and modify the genes based on our response to the environment and we are free to change our response to the
‘The subconscious mind turns them into habits, and when you push the button, you will replay the habit. Every time you push it, it will replay exactly as it was done before, and will continue to play it until you’ve changed the habit.’ Bruce believes humans want to change but, ‘since our conscious mind only operates about five per cent of the time, that means 95 per cent of the time we continuously revert to the habits. ‘…the conscious mind might not be resistant at all to change, but the conscious mind is only paying attention five per cent of the time, and we are playing habits 95 per cent of the time.’ Lipton’s realisation about cell behaviour and interactions with DNA have profound philosophical and spiritual ramifications. ‘The honest truth if you asked me about my life right now,’ says Lipton, ‘is that I totally believe that life on planet Earth is actually heaven, that we are born into heaven, because this is a place of creativity and a place of experiences that grow into our spiritual awareness, but it’s done through this physical body, so I find this is a unique opportunity to be here.’
environment. ‘Since we can change the way we respond to life, then all of a sudden the concept of victimisation where genetic control was related disappears and now we are at a part where we can adjust the genetic readout by how you respond to life.’ So how can we change our perceived genetic destiny?
Mind has two parts ‘When I talk about the mind controlling the chemistry of the blood, then I have to emphasise there are two parts to the mind, the conscious mind and the subconscious mind; they are two interdependent elements, they are not one and the same thing. They work in agreement with each other, but they are different elements. The conscious mind, the latest edition in evolution, is a lobe of brain right behind your forehead, called the prefrontal cortex. ‘It’s the seed of your personal identity, your unique character; it’s your connection to spirituality, your source. That’s who you are, you are in that prefrontal cortex conscious mind part. ‘The rest of the brain was there before the conscious mind evolution and actually represents the fundamental

Stakeholders or shareholders?
State ministers, bureaucrats in fiery showdown with residents over CSG Melissa Hargraves
Chants of ‘NO CSG’ filled Lismore City Hall last Wednesday as over 800 citizens vented their frustration at NSW planning and infrastructure minister Brad Hazzard and various departmental bureaucrats. Lismore MP Thomas George organised the meeting, which was an effort to ‘address concerns surrounding coal-seam gas (CSG) mining and the recent release of the NSW government’s Strategic Regional Land Use Policy (SRLUP)’. Due to the crowd’s obstreperous behaviour, the minister told the audience that ‘the disrespect that is currently being shown by not listening is not helping as this panel are here to help you with your concerns,’ and ‘I would have thought that in Australia we would respect each other’s views’.
Environment before economy
larations from their roads. ‘I call on you to accept them all and take note because we are not going to allow this to happen in the catchment of our rivers and tributaries. One thing that you blokes don’t seem to get right is that the environment comes before economy.’ While road declarations were being received, a resident informed those on the stage that ‘we are mothers, grandmothers and workers and we have our backs to the wall and that is why, Mr George, you have never seen anything like this response before’. Mr Hazzard told the audience that his government took over from a previous government which had ‘no process or policy structure’ surrounding CSG mining and that they have since engaged in ‘lengthy and comprehensive policy development initiatives to bring together all stakeholders and ensure transparency’. Dan Keary, strategic regional policy director for the Department of Planning and Infrastructure, elaborated on the SRLUP and said that if companies want to mine for CSG on strategic agricultural land ‘they will need to go through the gateway process, which is independent and must be addressed through a DA process’.
The audience jeered loudly at the irony of his comments, given many northern rivers residents say they don’t feel listened to or respected by him or his government. Ian Gaillard from Lock the Gate Northern Rivers addressed the panel. ‘This is about stakeholders, not shareholders. Mr Hazzard, there will No refusal provision be people walking up to you To that, deputy mayor of Lisand giving you (CSG-free) dec- more, Cr Simon Clough, ques-
into fossil fuels is taken away from renewables.’ Dr Marion Lloyd-Smith, who has made a study of chemical pollutants, questioned the panel over the testing of chemicals used in CSG mining activities. ‘If you are so comfortable with all the chemicals being used, why is one and a half million dollars of public money going to be spent over the next few years to assess these chemicals?’ Passions ran high at Wednesday’s meeting over plans by the state government to allow CSG throughout NSW.

tioned why the gateway process ‘has no provision for refusal’. And it didn’t get any better for the ministers and their entourage. Dr Isaac Santos from SCU asked the panel to tell the audience how many monitoring wells there were. Minister Hazzard’s response was ‘the short answer is that we don’t know how many.’
Well monitoring numbers unkown Local research scientist Dr Effie Ablett said that it is too late for assessment after the chemicals have been used as they work at undetectable levels. ‘It takes one molecule of these toxic chemicals that can change a pre-cancerous cell to a cancer cell. The leakage from these wells could cause the largest health threat that
we have seen in Australia… research has shown that they leak methane; they will be leaking other chemicals as well.’ Members of the audience also questioned why a representative from the health department was not on the panel. Climate change was mentioned numerous times as many scientists around the world are continuing to make urgent warnings of the need to shift our energy sources from fossil fuels to renewables. Adam Guise of CSG Free Northern Rivers informed the panel that ‘methane is twenty to a hundred times more potent than carbon dioxide. How can your government credibly pretend to be taking action on climate change when you are funding and promoting a toxic, dirty industry, which is fossil fuel. Every dollar that is put
Chemical pollution Brad Mullard, executive director of mineral resources responded: ‘There are literally thousands of chemicals that can be potentially used. The federal government is undertaking a process of assessing; they can only assess about one hundred. ‘But,’ he added, ‘most of the chemicals are in common use.’ Mr Hazzard had to leave at 12 noon to attend further meetings but was approached

Glenugie CSG protester arrested as drill rigs roll in Chris Dobney
Police arrested resident Deb Whitley last Wednesday at Metgasco’s CSG test site at Glenugie, near Grafton, after she locked herself to a truck. It comes as another Glenugie resident Seanine told The Echo on Monday that Metgasco drill rigs are expected to arrive in the area shortly. According to another Glenu-
gie local, Sarah Fletcher, up to 80 residents gathered to defend their ‘embattled community’ at the site when Ms Whitley was arrested last week. Fifty-fiveyear-old Ms Whitley said in her defence, she took direct action because her land and home are under threat from coal-seam gas mining, which she has no say in refusing. ‘Metgasco is trying to ride roughshod over the wishes of
the local community,’ she said. In response, Metgasco CEO Peter Henderson instead described the protesters as ‘vigilantes’ and claimed on ABC radio that one activist had issued a Metgasco employee with a death threat. ‘These people do have a choice’, he said. ‘The government’s not ignoring them, nor is Metgasco. ‘We’ve been through very
More than 80 stalwarts from Federal and Goonengerry unanimously voted last Tuesday night – in the hottest evening this summer – to support a Gasfield Free Community initiative.

these two rural areas. The results will later be made public. People who can help with the doorknock should call co-ordinator Jill Keogh on 6688 4558.
Cops discover pot crop in Tyagarah reserve Police claim to have uncovered a large hydroponic marijuana crop growing in sheds hidden in bushland near Brunswick Heads. Police media said 255 plants were found growing ‘inside aluminium sheds deep in the

just before entering his car and asked about the comment he made recently to Lismore mayor Jenny Dowell regarding the inevitability of CSG mining in the northern rivers. He responded by saying it was ‘misinterpreted’. More alarming to the audience was the comment by Rob O’Neill, the director of water policy and planning at the Office of Water, who told the audience that ‘surface water is not necessarily connected to the deep ground water’. The last 18 months that the NSW government spent establishing procedures for CSG mining has clearly not satisfied a well-informed community in the northern rivers of NSW. Baseline data, compliance, monitoring and CSG mining exemptions from the SRLUP are all areas of concerns that were not allayed in Mr George’s public meeting.

Some of the middle-rankers who had been part of Kyoto â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Russia, Canada and Japan among them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; pulled out and the big players â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the United States, China and India â&#x20AC;&#x201C; remained intransigent. Moreover a row developed over whether or not developed nations might have to compensate the rest of the world for damages already being done, with The Australian asserting (totally wrongly, according to climate change minister Greg Combet) that Australian taxpayers were already facing a bill of $3 billion. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the bad news, to be embraced by the sceptics, deniers, rent seekers, and downright loonies who command such an inordinate amount of media space for their misguided views. But wait, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more, and enough of it to provide more than a touch of hope and com-
tice and supplementary measures are being implemented in most countries according to local circumstances. For instance in India, from which I have just returned, all public and private buses are being converted from diesel to natural gas as a matter of urgency. The same applies to the tuktuks, the notoriously polluting auto rickshaws, which are in any case diminishing rapidly in number as more and more Indians buy their own cars. And as this happens, a new measure has been brought in: every private vehicle must undergo an emissions check every three months. There are testing stations even in small villages, and vehicles which fail do not leave them until repaired. Measures such as these are the straws in the gathering sirocco which point to changes in government attitudes around the world. China, as you would expect from a dictatorship, is reportedly taking even tougher action. I cannot confirm this from firsthand knowledge but I can attest that Sri Lanka, the small island state with a population slightly bigger than Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, relies very largely on clean hydro-electric power to supply its expanding grid and where there are gaps, they are being plugged by wind and tidal power â&#x20AC;&#x201C; no new fossil fuel stations and definitely no nukes. So thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the good news. It may not be enough to keep the rain gauge from emptying, or stop the weather from going crazy, but at least we can report progress. Science, or at least enlightened self-interest, may yet prevail. The hourglass is no longer even half full, but the sand has not completely run out. Yet.
environment and a ballpark figure of $100 billion should be set aside for this purpose. Note that this is not compensation for damages past, as The Australian appears to believe, but provision for future needs. And in fact Australia has already committed nearly $600 million to the cause, most of it going to Pacific Island nations threatened by rising sea levels. Many other nations are ready and willing to kick in, although inevitably the global financial crisis and the subsequent economic downturn have made the job more difficult. But the long overdue recognition that it will have to be made is at a major step forward and one that suggests a genuine worldwide agreement on emission reduction targets in 2015 may not be, at last, out of the question.

Holiday letting: no test case needed Last week’s Echo had a story about a ‘test case’ regarding holiday letting, quoting compliance manager Ralph James. As a lawyer Mr James surely knows that no test case is necessary; holiday letting in a Residential 2(a) zone, as well as in a number of other zones, is ‘prohibited’. In my dictionary the word ‘prohibited’ means ‘not permissible under any circumstances’. Mr John Gudgeon, of the Holiday Letting Organisation (HLO), seems to use some other dictionary, while Mayor Simon Richardson, proclaims the need for ‘legal clarity’ – without commissioning the appropriate legal advice. Let me (again) explain how it works. The Local Environment
Plan divides the whole of the shire into a number of zones. Each zone refers to three kinds of activity: 1. Work you can do without Council consent (eg mow your lawn, breathe), 2. Work you can do with Council consent (eg build a house), 3. Work which is prohibited (eg a piggery in a 2(a) zone). Now the Residential 2(a) zone includes among its prohibited list ‘tourist facilities’. The situation is complicated, however, by the fact that some tourist activities are in fact permitted in this zone, eg hostels, motels, B&Bs. These exemptions are included in a list of definitions given in the LEP. In other words if your type of tourist activity doesn’t fit in
with any of the listed definitions it cannot be approved by Council – it’s illegal per se. The only question that remains is whether using your house for holiday letting qualifies it as a ‘tourist facility’. The various legal and planning advice that Council has obtained over the years has actively sought to fudge this issue by burying it in mountains of irrelevant material, jargon and evasion; the answer is there all right but you need the mind of a lawyer to locate it. That answer, of course, is that short-term accommodation (less than about three months) is certainly a form of tourism and is incompatible with residential use. The courts have
upheld that principle since at least 1908. The previous councillors were given the relevant precedents but evidently they not only failed to understand them, but lacked the self-insight to be aware of that shortcoming. They didn’t know that they didn’t know. Of course what’s really going on here is that the mayor, and others, don’t really want clarity. If they knew for sure that holiday letting was illegal then they might, heaven forbid, actually feel obliged to do something about it! Imagine the reaction of the Byron business community.

aversion to the 2012 festival, two showed they had problems with it, one left and one more died (before the festival). I don’t call three out of seven a great score for a vulnerable species. Many koalas in the Tyagarah area have disappeared in recent years. A letter in last week’s Echo verifies this anecdotally. The 2012 study only found one of the animals that had been tagged in 2010. The 2010 study lost six of its 11 animals dead during the study period (which included the 2010 festival). The 2012 study lost two dead out of eight found. Animal welfare sources know of 12 mortalities at Tyagarah in just over two years to date. The habitat study estimates the koala population of Byron Shire’s coast at just 240. The 12 known to have died at Tyagarah are five per cent of our coastal koalas! As well as whatever could get to them 200 years ago, they now have to dodge cars and trucks, dogs, disease, loss of habitat, loss of corridor, and development. As the 2012 researcher states in The Echo, he usually studies longer-term effects than just one festival. The long-term picture of the festival’s effect on koalas is not good so far. When there are no animals left there to study, there’ll be no effect on them. Is that good?
Furthermore, Israel makes no apology for doing whatever it can to protect its civilians, sending them into bunkers when Hamas shoots at them and thus keeping casualties to a minimum. To be clear. Israel has no quarrel with the people of Gaza. Its quarrel is with Hamas, which rules Gaza with an iron fist and continually seeks to implement its bellicose charter by firing thousands of rockets and missiles at Israel. What responsible country would not take steps to protect its population?

On what basis will councillors stop another? To proffer such a position is either a misunderstanding of their role or an attempt to mislead the community. How does Greens mayor Simon Richardson hope to stop KFC? No to McDonald’s, no to Dan Murphy’s – so what? How many other bottle shops selling overpriced alcohol do we have? Last count, five, and how many other mainstream fast food outlets do we have? How is it that we can excuse one retail outlet and reject another?

Koalas get the blues The picture for koalas is not as rosy as that painted in the article on page 7 of The Echo of November 27. We all love music and we all love koalas but the evidence is that the two do not mesh on the piece of real estate that the Blues Festival has chosen for its new home. Tyagarah was home to koalas long before the festival came. It houses a small colony of this iconic but vulnerable species. Byron Council is creating a koala plan of management and the lead-up habitat study identifies Tyagarah as one of only five areas where koalas reside on the coast of Byron Shire. Tweed Shire has none left on its coast. The Echo’s article mentioned a similar 2010 koala study for Tyagarah but failed to highlight a few facts connecting it to the 2012 study, such as the following: The number of koalas found and tagged for the 2010 Study was 11, which is more than the eight found (seven tagged) in the 2012 study. There are clearly fewer animals in the area now than two or three years ago. The eighth koala in 2012 wasn’t tagged because she was too sick. She died, leaving seven. The article says that of seven koalas tagged, three showed no

Conflict casualties Gareth Smith uses casualty statistics to condemn Israel in regard to the recent skirmish with Gaza (Letters, November 28). What he omits to mention is that Hamas deliberately locates its fighters, weapons and headquarters in the heart of Gaza’s civilian population, committing a double war crime – firing at Israel’s civilians while endangering the lives of Palestinian civilians.

Determined to stay CSG free
Season’s Greetings
On behalf of the Main Arm CSG Free Group, I would like to thank everyone who supported our Declaration Day event at Durrumbul Hall on Saturday November 17. Special thanks to Mayor Simon Richardson who was there to enthusiastically receive Main Arm’s CSG Free declarations. Thank you to all of the volunteers and members of the community who worked on and supported the survey process and the event itself. Thank you to the professional sound/ stage crew who gave their time, talent and enthusiasm and to the guest speakers and the amazing performers and musicians who entertained the crowd throughout the day and into the evening. Thanks also to each and every person who walked through
the gate on the day and shared in our community celebration. This was a very proud moment for the Main Arm community and the support that was offered throughout this process illustrates just how the CSG Free message is resounding loud and clear throughout the Shire. Here’s to a CSG Free Northern Rivers!

police have apparently explained to buskers that Council charges about $200 per year for a busking permit – apparently to guarantee ‘quality’. Police officers may ‘selectively’ enforce permits and their specific conditions. I greatly respect all police officers. This is because I’m certain that each of them has been carefully screened and trained by a legitimate qualified authority to correctly and professionally perform as a police officer. However, I seriously doubt whether Council members and staff or any police officers are fully qualified to screen for musical qualifications. Maybe Byron Shire Council, all police officers, musos and residents of the Byron Shire can coordinate an effort that will result in a new busking reality. Why not eliminate a permit and its fee? Free police officers from unilaterally determining what music is ‘quality’. If Council feels the need to enforce a level of ‘quality’ for busking, it should arrange for a select group of local musicians, who really know what they’re talking about, to perform this function as a community service without charge.

Australian society. One woman is killed every week by a current or former partner. One in three women over the age of 15 reports physical or sexual violence at some time in their lives. Domestic and family violence is the major cause of homelessness for women and their children, and a recognised form of child abuse. Violence against women also places a massive financial burden on the nation. In the 2009 Time for Action Report, KPMG estimated that violence against women and their children cost the Australian economy $13.6 billion annually. This number is expected to rise to $15.6 billion within the decade. The human costs are significant. Children are severely impacted on by family violence and the effects can be lifelong. As an individual, as a community we all need to say no to violence of any form. Our children, families and communities will thank us for this. Julie Leete

Pareidolia
Laurie Driscollâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s potato (Backlash, November 20) is a mediocre example of a phenomenon called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;pareidoliaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, a word coined in the mid-90s by Stephen Goldstein. It literally means a misperception: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re imagining things, stupid.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; A better definition is: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the perception of meaningful patterns in apparently random noise.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The word appeared in reaction to the religiosity of the interpretation of several examples of the phenomenon. Christ and the Virgin Mary figured prominently. Peggy Balfour Most people have seen faces Mullumbimby in clouds, trees, rocks, etc. No matter how amazing they are, these images are considered to be flukes, or one-offs; they are of little significance. If we dismiss the phenomenon with statements like â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Anthropomorphism Syndromeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We are hard-wired to see facesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You see what you want to seeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, as though this was a description and an explanation, rather than an ill-informed observation, we are none the wiser. However, the fundamentalist, materialist, evangelical atheist finds no room in his scientific worldview for such a black swan. In reality, the phenomenon is refinable, repeatable and ubiquitous with a structure that depends on a number of factors: most importantly angle of lighting, angle of viewing and perspective. Thus the face on Mars in only a few frames of a long movie. Hand-held rocks are the best medium through which to explore this phenomenon which, until the advent of missionaries and overhead electric light, we all saw. Revealing the imagery is an interactive process between mind and matter and demonstrates the centrality of consciousness in all observation. It describes another, interactive, realm where one may access infinite, latent, potential and realise (bring into reality) it. Pareidolia may serve as an analogue for accessing creativity and invention; just tune your set and focus your mind. Anyone who wishes to discuss this may reach me on 6684 5443 or 0422 588 463.

Wrong way to tackle welfare dependency Local mother Misha Sim writes to the prime minister about the parenting payment Dear Julia Gillard, I am one of the many single parents who will be forced onto Newstart Allowance come January 1, 2013. I am the sole parent of two children, 17 and 10, and I am currently in my fourth year of a psychology degree, something I have worked extremely hard to achieve while raising two children on my own. However, given that I will soon be forced to live on $533 a fortnight, (which is less than the cost of my rent) I must accept that I will not be able to complete the final year of my degree and that I must instead go out and try to find a job, any job, for which I am overqualified, that will enable us all to survive. As well as losing $122 a week of my parenting payment, I will also lose the $64 a fortnight education supplement that is supposed to help with the costs of textbooks. That $64 might seem irrelevant to someone like you, and granted it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much of an incentive to enrol at university, but it has enabled me to buy the ridiculously overpriced textbooks that are not included in the ridiculously overpriced school fees.
Very few jobs

in order to house and feed my children, but in areas where unemployment and rents are high, women like me will have no choice but to live on the Newstart Allowance and to go without basic necessities. In my case, I will need to move into more affordable housing which may prove impossible given that the cheapest three bedroom house in a 20km radius of my childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s school is $300 a week. Sharing a room with my children in a one bedroom flat or pitching a tent in the Byron Bay caravan park may actually be the only alternative.
Costs to raise a child
Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure if you have given any real thought as to what these new cost-saving measures will mean to women like me, and if you have, then you should be ashamed of yourself as a prime minister and as a woman. I live in a rural area where there are very few jobs available and even less that will employ staff solely during school hours. Even if I could afford it, there is no after-school care at my daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s school and the bus does not take her all the way home, which means that I must meet her at the bus stop in the middle of a busy highway at 3.25 pm. She is ten years old and not old enough to walk the 25 minute walk along a bustling, two-lane highway. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bad enough that I will be forced to give up my studies
How is that you can justify giving single people with no dependent children the same amount of money that will be given to sole parents with one, two, three, four children? Do you have any idea what it costs to raise a child? My children have had to go without many things that two-parent families can afford and there have been many times over the course of the last four years where I have seriously considered dropping out of uni to take a waitressing or cleaning job in order to meet the weekly demands. I have persevered because I want to show my children that education is important and that if you work hard you can achieve anything. Thanks to you, that decision has now been made for me and the blood, sweat and tears have all been a massive waste

rightfully so) from meeting those requirements. The difference between the current legislation and Laborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed changes is that sole parents are able to strike a balance between work and family. They are able to achieve an education that will better enable them to return to the workforce in a meaningful way and to earn a good income that will allow them to support their families. More importantly, they are on track to break the cycle of welfare altogether. Forcing sole parents onto Newstart will not tackle the problem of welfare dependency; in fact it will only cause greater long-term socioeconomic problems. Parenting payment currently enables sole parents to earn $167 a fortnight before they lose 40 cents in the dollar. Newstart decreases that threshold to $31.50 a week. If you genuinely want â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to get back to work, then why make it damn near impossible for them to do so?

The real debate on climate is happening in San Francisco Stephan Lewandowsky reports on climate research in The Conversation http://theconversation.edu.au, which provides independent analysis and commentary from academics and researchers.
T
he latest climate talks in Doha are unlikely to yield a breakthrough. Instead, the can will most likely be kicked further down the road, at considerable future cost. The Doha negotiations coincide with the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) in San Francisco, a five-day conference attended by 20,000 scientists, myself included, which provides a glimpse at the leading edge of climate research around the world. This is the research that helps us understand the reality of climate change. The Doha meetings are also accompanied by signals from the fantasy world of climate denial, as usual expressed not in the peer-reviewed literature but as an ‘open letter’ by purported climate experts to the UN Secretary General, Ban KiMoon. The letter claims that current scientific knowledge requires no action on climate change. To understand why climate denial inhabits a fantasy world we need to look no further than a few of the purported luminaries who sign such letters. For example, there is retiree Nils-Axel Mörner whose psy-
chedelic intuitions include the claim that sea levels are not rising. Never mind that the horrendous damage caused by Hurricane Sandy was undoubtedly made worse by the fact that sea levels in New York are now 20cm higher than they were a century ago. Mörner probably missed out on that because he was distracted by his famed paranormal abilities to find water by dowsing. Or perhaps he was distracted by his earlier ‘research’ which located the Hong Kong of the Greeks in Sweden? Then there is retiree and former scientist (among other things) Oliver Manuel, who believes that climate science is the result of ‘secret, fear-driven agreements by the winners of the Second World War in 1945’. Those agreements also somehow involve ‘Kissinger, Zhou En-Lai, Chairman Mao, Brezhnev and Nixon in 1971’ – oh yes, and 9/11 was also part of the climate conspiracy. You can’t make this stuff up. Those are the characters who tell the UN and the public not to worry about climate change. No point in wasting time on the other signatories — suffice it to say that most of them

belong to the same troupe of cranks straight out of central casting. So what is the real state of the science being presented at the AGU meeting in San Francisco? What do the geophysicists tell us about the state of the climate and of our planet? The program for a single day of this meeting consists of a 50-page broadsheet that lists literally thousands of events: you can follow along online at http://fallmeeting. agu.org/2012/virtualmeeting. Talks, workshops, scientific posters, keynote addresses, all running in multiple parallel sessions in three buildings. Even with the help of the daily program booklet and the AGU
iPad app it takes an hour every morning simply to navigate the smorgasbord of science and to select interesting sessions to attend. There was the session on The Climate of the Common Era, or the presentations of the New Atmospheric Sciences Fellows. Then there was the particularly interesting session on Construing Uncertainty in Climate Science (maybe that one was particularly interesting because I chaired it). There was the keynote address by Sir Robert Watson, who explored the implications of our current emissions path, and the fact that we are likely heading for a world that is four or five degrees warmer by
2100 than it was before industrialisation, with consequences that are alarming rather than alarmist. Science is debate, and the AGU meeting is the biggest annual debate of climate scientists in the world. It is a debate that extends over five days, each filled with 12 hours or more of non-stop science. There is, however, one issue that is not being debated: Nowhere is there a debate about the fundamental facts that the globe is rapidly warming and that human greenhouse gas emissions are responsible for that warming. That scientific debate ceased decades ago. It is only in the fantasy world of climate denial that ignorant chatter about those physical fundamentals continues, to the detriment of the public which would be better served without such distracting noise. Among the 20,000 geophysicists and scientists from other disciplines in attendance at the AGU meeting, there is no mention of the denialist troupe of cranks who do ‘science’ by writing letters to the editor. With one exception. Dr Jim Hansen, one of the world’s foremost climate sci-
entists, who first alerted the world to the risks from climate change decades ago, gave a presentation on Tuesday night. A patrician figure, he was greeted with a standing ovation even though the message he had to deliver, based on the latest available science, was far from encouraging. Decades ago, Dr. Hansen predicted events such as Hurricane Sandy, and he has been warning about the implications of climate change ever since. Dr Hansen expressed the view that the professional disinformers who facilitate and encourage climate denial, and who obstruct and delay a solution to the problem at great cost in dollars and human lives in support of their own shortterm greed or ideological agenda, ought to be tried for crimes against humanity.

Music that Moves You
Can you tell me what the Dream Drone is? The Dream Drone is a specific sound created by playing the didgeridoo in a special way. It is a combination of a physical playing technique with a certain state of mind in the player. It also uses a specific kind of didgeridoo called a YiDaChi designed by Jon Worsley right here in Byron Shire. How did you develop it? The Dream Drone came to me in a moment as I sat quietly with friends late at night nearly six years ago at a property close to Mullumbimby. I must have been ready for it somehow. In the moment that it came I went to play my didgeridoo and I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t access anything that I had ever played before. I was drawn sideways into a whole new sonic realm. A multi-layered sound tapestry emerged, the Dream Drone. The element of development was important in working out how to reliably access the meditative space required so that I could run events such as this one in Bangalow. It took five years until I was confident in my ability to reliably play the Dream Drone. During this time and on a parallel path Jon Worsley has fine-tuned the designs of the YiDaChi instruments which we use at all the events and also on the new album. I play together with Jon at all the events. We have a magic synergy when we play together. Why did you develop it? Well actually I took quite a lot of encouragement from two very close friends, Daniel Reid, the author of the Tao of Health Sex and Longevity, and his wife Snow Reid to develop the sound and the way of sharing this sound with people. Dan could see the power inherent in the Dream Drone immediately, whereas it took me some years to understand what was going on when I played it. His encouragement was an essential part of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;whyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; I developed the Dream Drone. Eventually I came to know that there was something very special about the quality of the sound and the effect that it had on people and since then it has been my main focus in my career. Why do you think sound or vibration is healing for the body and mind? Firstly Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have to take one step back and say that with the way we promote the Dream Drone I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t actually like to present it as a healing event. The word healing means many different things to many different people. For some it would encourage them to participate yet for others it would put them off! What we have in a Dream Drone event is a lie-down immersion in the deep resonant frequencies of the YidaChi or didgeridoo. The result of this can be profoundly healing for some people; it can also be quite psychedelic or purely physically enjoyable. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very individual thing for people as to what they experience and how they then go on to describe it. When sound does create some kind of healing I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to do with the subtle aspect of the way that energy moves in our bodies and minds. Sound has a physical nature, while it is vibrating our eardrums it is also subtly shaking each and every one of our three
trillion cells. With the right sound there can be a very positive effect. The Dream Drone gives vitality to the cells. Lying on the floor under a blanket is a pretty different approach to attending a showâ&#x20AC;Ś is this a hard idea to get across to people? People love it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like an epic slumber party with a great sound track. These days peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives are often driven to the point where they are actually tired most or all of the time. It makes sense to go to an event that recharges your batteries rather than depleting them further. On this point though we urge people to bring a yoga mat to lie on, not a swag! The wooden floor transmits the vibrations and it is best to have as little as possible inbetween the body and the floor. Tell me about the CD â&#x20AC;&#x201C; does it have the same effect? Can you use it for relaxation at home? (Obviously not good driving music) The CD is called Deep Inner Space. I am really happy with it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a 50-minute sound journey following the same sequence as we play at the event. And yes it does have the same effect, or at least a similar one. I have never been on the floor in a Dream Drone event so I only know about the experience from recordings. The CD has somehow captured the power. It is designed to be listened to lying down and it can be put on loop so it just goes as long as you like. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not good driving music but it is great to listen to in a parked car. This is where you can get the full body sound massage going on. It can also be played at a quiet volume to create a warm ambience in a space. Can you tell me what to expect for you â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;sound experienceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; at Bangalow? The A&I Hall in Bangalow is the best venue that we have found in the shire. The huge resonant floor transmits the bass frequencies ensuring a full-body experience. At this event we have the incredible state-of-the art K-Array sound systemâ&#x20AC;Śone of the most hi-tech audio systems in the world. The icing on the cake is that Udi Benknaan, one of the founding members of Sheva, is doing a solo string recital as people arrive. A real treat! As far as expectations go, leave them at home and just know that you have a warm safe place to lay your head while your mind swims in a vibrant sea of sound. Bring a cushion, a blanket and your good self to the Bangalow A&I Hall on Sunday. Tickets are $34 or $40 at the door. www.kupromotions.com.au. Doors open 8.15pm, doors close 8.45pm.

While there are these labels to identify is music by, he is highly motivated to create a sound and message that inhales as a breath of fresh air. He has been a feature artist on Triple J Unearthed and has played in projects while up in Brisbane and has more recently started to develop himself locally as he settles into the area. He is now joining forces with a four-piece band, self-titled as Josh Hamilton, who are currently working on an EP to be released at the end of this year. Friday at the Byron Brewery.

This week’s Mercury, sun and new moon trifecta in energetic Sagittarius are evolution bound, even if it takes a revolution to do it… and flute. Think warm orange sunsets, hammocks, waves lapping around your feet, super chilled, good vibes all round. Saturday at Byron Bay Brewery, 7.30 start, free entry.
E ARIES: A life-changing week for the Ram family as Uranus in Aries takes you on a creative and stimulating, adventurous and experimental ride into strange new territory beyond the confines of the comfort zone. Which may involve getting over yourself, your ideas and opinions on a daily basis… F TAURUS: This wild week has some wins – like liberating funding or easing a situation that’s been painful for a long time. Shopping sports are also rewarding, so get those art skills pumping and summon up the wow factor for your seasonal festivities without it costing a wad. G GEMINI: As poetic Gemini W.B. Yeats prophetically wrote: Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold. If that’s your experience this week, Mercury moving into the sign of parties, travel and philosophical perspectives helps you think of them as falling into a new design. And you love change, remember? H CANCER: The Crab clan’s about family and this week’s interactions are with blood, business and community family as the cosmic cocktail glass fizzes with tonic, frothy optimism. Ditching something that’s passe rather than clinging to wishful thinking or a wornout dream brings a strong renewal of confidence.
PERCH CREEK FAMILY JUGBAND AT THE DRILL HALL ON FRIDAY
I LEO: Even if this week’s people don’t understand the line between assertive and offensive, heated exchanges are tres draining, grumpy isn’t becoming, and what others say and do is more about them than you anyway. So bring your focus home to what you do best: organise, charm, entertain. J VIRGO: While other signs are thinking big, you know it’s small things that truly drive you nuts. Virgo author Eduardo Galeano offers the word sentipensante as a combination of feeling and thinking: the perfect approach to this week, because logic alone won’t cut it – you’ll have to add heart. K LIBRA: Everyone makes mistakes and all mistakes are forgiveable, so stay right away from what Libra Steve Bhaerman aka Swami Beyondananda calls detestimonials and insinuendoes. Take advantage instead of the present expansive potential, because this week’s on the lookout for creative flair, fresh ideas and an adventurous approach. L SCORPIO: With Venus presently directing plenty of sweet heat your way, you’re exerting a strong influence on your immediate environment, so be mindful of what you put out because that’s what you’ll get back. You may as well allow others the freedom they want – they’re going to take it anyway.

M SAGITTARIUS: Mercury and new moon joining the sun in Sagittarius has you wired, fired and inspired. So make the wish list, but don’t forget you’re still operating under the obligations and restraints of current reality. Idealistic, pie in the sky optimism isn’t a helpful mindset right now. N CAPRICORN: Sure it’s busy season, but your inner Cap wants to withdraw and seclude, process and brood, so balance invigorating socialising with time out for psychic recharge. Play party animale, charming the crowd, then retire to receive the inspirations that only arrive when your mind’s not flat chat… O AQUARIUS: As the cosmic switch plugging into the socket of seasonal festivities turns the Aquarisphere into a united nations of visitors, your goodwill mission is playing fence-mender, though don’t make the mistake of believing people want your honest opinion, even when they ask for it. Honestly? They don’t. P P ISCES: Overextension is everyones’ nemesis this week, so if people want more than you can give, don’t hesitate to say the sorry word. Resist the impulse to promise what you mightn’t be able to deliver, and know that your continually changing arrangements won’t have others feeling the love.

Review by John Mitchell J u l i a n Assange is t he most talked-about Au s t r a l i a n in the world today. For some he represent s freedom, independence and the great iconoclastic spirit of Australia and Australians. For others he is a self-aggrandising and dishonourable sneak who represents everything that is wrong with modern journalism. For those who knew him as a baby on Magnetic Island, he was a chubby, friendly and most inquisitive child. Assange’s story is the story of WikiLeaks, diplomatic ‘truth’, legal ‘truth’, justice and the value of information. At one level, it is a David and Goliath thriller. At another level, it is an account of a defensive, narcissistic and rather troubled individual. Who better to tell this story than Andrew Fowler. Andrew is a contributing reporter for the ABC’s Foreign Correspondent program. He has been chief of staff and acting foreign editor of The Australian and a reporter with SBS Dateline and Channel 7 and was a founding member
Mad Men, Bad Girls, Guerilla Knitters Institute by Maggie Groff Review by Victoria Sullivan Oh, oh … this could end up as an addiction! H o p e f u l l y, if rumours are true, Maggie Groff will continue to entertain us with the adventures of a truly excellent character: SCOUT DAVIS, intrepid, freelance investigative journalist, living the dream in Byron Bay. Following a lead, Scout researches a story that claims a cult has fled the US and has set up camp in the hinterland west of the Gold Coast.
28 December 11, 2012 The Byron Shire Echo
At the same time Scout is helping her sister Harper solve an internal investigation at the exclusive school she works at. As Scout juggles these cases she is also part of a secret clandestine guerilla knitting group that ‘beautifies the urban landscape’. Add to the mix her war corespondent partner is in Afghanistan on a job and his friend... a handsome, intelligent, captivating... loca l pol ice constable... is leaving hibiscus at the door! The ultimate in lust and moral dilemmas can only be imagined! You connect with this world, you take the ride and enjoy the journey that Maggie Groff takes us on. I have to say I devoured this book in three marathon sittings. It’s been hot and it’s only natural to seek a shady cool spot, settle with a good book, and remain engrossed till the heat abates. I rate this book 4.5/5. The major action sequence was a bit too ‘convenient’ but it did keep the pace up and that was good. Great characters and an adventurous plot. I love it as a local, but I would love it no matter where I came from. Hilarious, thought provoking, unexpected. Perfect as a summer read. Off to tackle another hot afternoon.

S e vent e e nyea r-old s, Emery and Jake, have volunteered at the local primary school to teach French to eighteen first-grade students. Although no longer romantically involved, Emery and Jake have put aside their differences to work together in the classroom.

Nature’s Creation by Jennifer Divyajyoti Michelsen A rich compendium of herbal knowledge that honours the sacredness and life-supporting qualities of all herbs. It is vitally important that herbal lore from all traditions, as well as the wisdom of plants themselves, stays alive in our
current knowings and in our ongoing search for well being, which includes our relationship with the natural world. Th is new book by Jennifer Divyajyoti Michelsen and the Cards of Knowledge and Guidance are valuable ‘signposts’ on this journey to well being and alignment with nature. — John Massey, herbalist and earth gardener
The novel explores the different relationships that are tied together by the shocking central event. Jake and Emery tell the story in alternating chapters; slowly revealing their lives, characters and connection to each other. The responsibility and care between the teenagers and the students similarly unfold alongside the tense dynamics between the gunman and his family. With this emotional foundation of a hostage situation, the plot is tense and gripping from beginning to end – keeping the reader breathless and pounding of heart. I did not put the book down until it was finished.

The work reflects upon feelings of emptiness and vacancy, concentrating on the vulnerability of the manmade environment once it reaches its use-by date, a stage where it is no longer something to be valued and admired. Opening downstairs is Night Visions, an exhibition that examines what MISS RED DEVOTCHKIN the night makes visible.

Somerset sings for Your Redemption
SOMERSET BARNARD AND PAT TIERNEY HAVE TEAMED UP TO PLAY A SUMMER OF MUSIC UP AND DOWN THE EAST COAST. SOMERSET BARNARD SPOKE WITH THE ECHO ABOUT HIS MUSICAL JOURNEY. Tell me a little about where your passion for music began. My passion for music began as a kid in Santa Cruz, California. I remember driving with my father through the Santa Cruz mountains and hearing the Eagles, Merle Haggard and Waylon Jennings on the radio. All that sort of country/blues was really popular there. My nextdoor neighbour had an old nylon string and every few weeks he’d teach me a new song that I’d heard on the radio. I think this was the roots of my passion and it’s grown from there.
www.echo.net.au
Have you always embraced your country twang? Was there ever a time when you tried to make yourself something else? I’ve always embraced that style of music. I guess it stems from those influences as a child. It’s just what comes naturally so I’ve stuck with it. What is it about the outback, or living in a country setting, that you find most appealing? How does it feed your work? The outback I think is a really spiritual place. All those little country towns and the people that live in them are a songwriter’s dream. There are so many characters and so many life stories. In the outback the crux of life is easier to find. You can feel the pain, heartache and joy. I’ve always found the way of country life fascinating. There is nothing more inspirational than lying under the stars and letting your mind wander. Where do you get your stories from? Do you listen in to passing conversations?! The stories come from a broad range of places. Larrikins I meet, places I’ve seen, conversations I’ve heard and articles I’ve read. A lot of the lines in my songs come from lines that have come up in conversation over a beer. The way the stories on my album were constructed is interesting as they all evolved around a particular theme: ‘redemption’. Redemption, I think, is something we all strive for and aim to achieve in different ways. The release of the album was my ‘redemption’. I remember being in the newsagency at the airport a few years ago and about to board a plane to run away from my troubles. I happened to pick up an issue of Rolling Stone magazine and there was an article on Patti Smith in which she said, ‘The idea of redemption is always good news. Even if it means sacrifice or some difficult times’. This quote has always stuck with me and through the songs on the album I’ve tried to paint a picture of the sacrifices and difficult times that have ultimately led to good ends. I think everyone has been there. What do you think is the essence of good songwriting? I think the essence of good songwriting is to try to write to put the listener in the shoes of the person the story is about. The best songs to me are songs that you can imagine yourself in that scenario and feel the emotions that song portrays. Tell me how you and Pat Tierney got playing together? While on face value we seem to come from different worlds, the appreciation of each other’s music has been the common thread. We both signed to the same label in June this year (Race Cafe Records) and since then we have spent a lot of time sharing each other’s music. Pat gave me a lot of his reggae and folk records and I gave him a lot of my old country and blues records. Although our music and backgrounds are different, we realised that a lot of the songs we wrote and listened to shared the same themes. We also both wanted to share our music to a broader audience and I think Pat is one of the few people I know that can put up with me! So why not tour!

ELI ASHCROFT Eli’s upbringing in Kathmandu and seeing the world through eastern eyes at an impressionable age is a major influence in his artwork.
THE INDUSTRIALISTS BITS’N’PIECES ART SALE
‘Wandering Eyes’ is his current series, inspired by worlds and cultures that have always mystified and infused Eli’s unique aesthetic perspective. His art is a blend of mixed media including gouache, clay paint, oil, pastel and acrylic on anything from canvas to antique recycled doors, windows and car bonnets. Eli’s style has been described as ‘raw and unfettered’ and his ideas play with notions of duality, such as suffering and happiness, nature versus structure and sublime chaos. The challenge to visually represent the human quest for freedom and escape

PETER BERWEIN
LISMORE ART GALLERY
‘Moving to Byron Bay two years ago has influenced my art immensely’, says German artist Peter Berwein. ‘I let myself be inspired by Australia. This continent is unique. Especially the place where I live now, wrapped in the sounds of the Pacific Ocean. I create installations and images in love and devotion. My approach has always been that the viewer can recognise himself in my artwork. The free, easy and natural state of being human. Painting is my philosophy’. Peter Berwein at work He will have his first Australian exhibition in a pop-up gallery at 107 Jonson Street, Byron Bay, opening on 15 December 2012 to 13 January 2013.
Night Visions is an exhibition that features works by contemporary Australian artists exploring various aspects of the night in an Australian landscape. It negotiates country from parts of the Northern Territory to Melbourne and back up to the Torres Strait. The night is a vast and universal theme. As the late artist, Gulumbu Yunupingu, said so poetically: the stars show us that we are all the same underneath. We can all look at these stars whichever sky we are looking at. Free people share the broad and beautiful canopy of the night sky. Night Visions brings together an esteemed list of artists, a number of whom, most notably Jon Cattapan, Mark Kimber, Andrew Browne and Trent Parke, have explored the theme of night over consecutive series. The exhibition also pays heed to the rich references to the night sky in traditional indigenous cultures. www.lismoregallery.org. Ph: 6622 2209

32 December 11, 2012 The Byron Shire Echo
The Master Saturation PR for Byronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next Spirit Festival is underway (we all need to make a buck), so whether by design or coincidence, the screening of this study in the nature of cults and those who are drawn to them comes as a welcome provocation. Based loosely on the teachings and techniques of L Ron Hubbard, it focuses on the relationship between Lancaster Dodd (Philip Seymour Hoffman), founder of the Cause, and the roughneck acolyte Freddie Quell (Joaquin Phoenix). Both are brilliant portrayals, but in a rather showy, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going for an Oscarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; way. As an actor inclined to mug any part, Hoffman is perfect as the pompous autodidact, while Phoenix, round-shouldered, unhinged and with that hare-lip scar more pronounced than ever, makes his Emperor Commodus from Gladiator seem positively wholesome. An extended preamble allows us to become familiar with Quell who, despite the title, is the protagonist. An unpleasant, ill-tempered sailor who is preoccupied with sex and mixing near-toxic alcoholic concoctions, he is stationed on a Pacific island at the conclusion of WWII. It is Bedlam â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a man masturbating at the waterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s edge is as unsettling a sight as any this year â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and, accompanied by Jonny Greenwoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disorienting score, you understand quickly enough the scrambled sate of Quellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brain. The ugly ambience of these opening scenes is one from which the film never escapes (if, indeed, it ever tries). In 1950, the shiftless Quell stows away on a chartered boat and meets Dodd, who is similarly dipsomaniacal and sees in Quell a personality ripe for indoctrination into his movement. Writer/director Paul Thomas Anderson, hinting that the power behind the throne rests with Doddâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard-as-nails wife Peggy (Amy Adams), has made a visually rich movie that is utterly engrossing, until you weary of spending so much
time with two unlikeable men. Ultimately, after believing that the story is leading somewhere, perhaps to a profound enlightenment, it becomes blindingly obvious that it has gone nowhere at all. Which may, or may not be the point. ~ John Campbell
The Perks Of Being A Wallflower The magic of cinema occurs when an emotional contract â&#x20AC;&#x201C; binding and absolute â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is established between the audience and the characters they are watching on screen. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen at every outing, and when it does its source is often unexpected. Such was my experience with this adorable movie. The wallflower in question is Charlie (Logan Lerman). Friendless in a new high school, he is also carrying some repressed psychological baggage that we are made aware of through a series of brief and puzzling flashbacks. Meanwhile, he becomes mates with a couple of seniors, Patrick (Ezra Miller) and Sam (Emma Stone). Accepted into their set, he embarks on the lessons of life that underpin all comingof-age flicks while, of course, falling in love (with Sam). Though the narrative orbits around Charlie and Sam and their uncertain understanding of each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feelings, it is Patrick who effortlessly finds himself at the heart of the film. Miller has managed a 180-degree turnaround since we last saw him as the hateful son in We Need To Talk About Kevin. As Patrick, an out-there gay boy who is nonetheless aware of the prejudices he will always confront, he chaperones Charlie and Sam through their tumultuous
<echowebsection=Cinema>
year together. Freed by writer/ director Stephen Chbosky from the contemporary curse of aggressive worldliness, the youngsters are neither foul-mouthed nor smart-arsed, without being impossibly goody-goody â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a terrific segue that has Charlie taking a communion wafer onto his tongue and then dropping a tab of acid sees to that. What eventuates, ever so subtly, is that you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but care about these kids while, through the device of Charlieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s writing letters to his dead friend, there is created (for the older viewer) an almost Proustian sense of days lost. I was with them when they drove through the tunnel with Bowieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Heroes blaring and I believed Sam explicitly when she told Charlie that he should be loved by the first girl who kisses him. Unassuming and unfashionably (almost heretically) sweet-natured, this is a romance true and timeless. ~ John Campbell

1. Christmas movies are beginning to manifest like strange mushrooms in the programming as we all gear up for the season of enforced jollity and too much plum pud. However there is some relief as 1. ABC2 unearths an old film starring Jack Nicholson and Karen Black. Five Easy Pieces (Saturday, 10.20pm) shows the Jackster in his best form as a troubled young man who could have been a star concert pianist if not for his need to rebel. 2. Davor Dujmovic plays Perhan, a Gypsy teenager with the ability to move objects with his mind in the comedy Time Of The Gypsies (SBS2, Sunday, 11.30pm) a Yugoslav film which scores an astonishing 100% on the Tomatometer. He is tricked into using his powers to commit crimes.

SILVER BULLET CAFE
His menu is that rare thing: most of its items call out to me. Fresh buffalo mozzarella with Coopers Shoot tomatoes. Tuna and swordfish carpaccio. Smoking duck breast with baked beetroot and asparagus. Or intrigue me: spherical peas; lime air; mud crab cracker. Manfred explains that the latter is his invention, a little play on the Chinese prawn cracker. The lunch menu has since the beginning featured Kangaroo Steak with Davidson Plum Jus, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the dishes too popular to be removed.

We are sitting out on the wooden deck early afternoon. I have always loved this tranquil little corner oasis opposite the river, set amidst lush subtropical greenery, and envied local residents an eatery within strolling distance. Bavarian-born Manfred took
He stayed for two years and then, cooking wherever he went, floated between Singapore, Bermuda, the Bahamas, Vancouver, Kenya and New Zealand, ultimately ending up back in Sydney where he ran firstly Don Batu, a tiny Surry Hills restaurant, then Manfredâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Crowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nest. Both were successful, especially the former â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but innate restlessness and love of travelling impelled him back to New Zealand, where for twelve years he ran a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;totally German, very meatyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; restaurant called Berlin. (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Dumplings, spatzle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it was a very successful restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, he tells me.)
pasta â&#x20AC;&#x201C; while he works the floor. He still cooks at home â&#x20AC;&#x201C; simple stuff like fish and salad or schnitzels â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and experiments with new dishes for his menu, but after decades of working in vast high-paced kitchens in various capacities he is happy to step back.
NEW BRIGHTON
Manfred Rudolf likes to be a little provocative. Currently he has camel on the menu of his New Brighton cafe/restaurant called The Yum Yum Tree, grilled fillet served on truffle mash with wild mushrooms. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;People go â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ieew, camel â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but I convince them and they love itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, he tells me. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tender, lean and full of protein.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;
Back in Australia he ran an ice-creamery in Port Douglas for several fun albeit unremunerative years, and then came to the Byron Shire. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I knew peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, he explains. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I was looking for a place where I could spend the rest of my life, and when I came here I knew it was here.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; That was seven years ago, and apart from catering for the odd function, Manfred was at an age and stage in life when he needed no longer to work. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Butâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, he says, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;it was the most boring thing Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d done in my life!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The opportunity to buy the New Brighton business was impossible to resist. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I made it niceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, he says. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I changed it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I put a lot of money into it. I built this deck.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; At nights â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the place becomes transformed for dinner service. There are candles and white tablecloths and intimacy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gorgeousâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, he says. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a little community here â&#x20AC;&#x201C; every customer knows the other customer.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

it over about five years ago, when he had theoretically retired from the world of work. His German accent is still pronounced in spite of the fact he hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been living in the home country since he was about 21. That was the age he first came out to Australia. (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;It had been in my dreams since I was 14 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Australia fascinated me, the wildlife, the birds, the exoticismâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;)

Reports that Prime Minister Julia Gillard has stepped back from a COAG proposal to hand federal environmental powers to the states are encouraging, but must be matched by a commitment to rule out similar proposals in future, according to the Nature Conservation Council of NSW. ‘This ill-conceived proposal would have left Australia with a threadbare patchwork of inconsistent and ineffective environmental protections,’ said Pepe Clarke, NCC chief executive officer. ‘It is encouraging to see that common sense may have prevailed for the time being, but we will be seeking a commitment from government to categorically rule out similar moves in future.’ Mr Clarke said the federal government should now act to remove the provisions of the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act that would still enable such a transfer to occur. ‘This is the only way the community can be confident that this ill-considered and dangerous proposal will not be resurrected,’ Mr Clarke said. ‘There is very broad support in the community for the Commonwealth to retain these powers. Polling by Lonergan Research released last month found that 85 per cent of Australians believed the federal government should be able to block or make changes to major projects that could damage the environment. ‘Now, more than ever, we need the federal government to safeguard our state’s environment from the excesses of state-sponsored development. It’s extraordinary that Premier O’Farrell claimed that he was ready to sign an agreement with the Commonwealth, guaranteeing that federal environmental standards would be maintained. ‘In fact, his government is currently proposing fundamental changes to the NSW planning system that will allow most developments to be approved without full environmental assessment or any public consultation.’

Lennox Head surfer Adam Melling, pictured on Saturday giving a go at the Steep n Deep, which is actually a photography, not surfing, competition, has the world at his feet as the winner of the World Cup of Surfing which was held on Sunset Beach, Hawaii, last Wednesday local time. Melling, 27, needed a top-two finish in the four-man final to re-qualify for next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world tour and in winning the US$250,000 VANS World Cup he has retained a position on the ASP World Tour for 2013, pocketed US$40,000 and moved to equal second on the VANS Triple Crown series ratings.

Backlash NSWâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so-called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;planning ministerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Brad the Hazzard got the message strongly from anti-CSG protesters at Lismore last week â&#x20AC;&#x201C; see Lealah Shostakâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s video of the event at http://bit. ly/TW0Zfd. Once returned to the rarefied atmosphere of Macquarie Street, the tumult and the shouting will become a distant memory as advisers, mining company execs and other urgers and spivs assure the minister itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;vocal minorityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; opposed to fucking over the environment in the name of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;economic growthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. But the protest (www.csgfreenorthernrivers.org) will remain strong, as our wellbeing depends upon it. As David Suzuki noted on his blog, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s services keep the planet habitable for animals like us and must become an integral component of a new economic structure. We must get off this suicidal focus on endless, mindless growth.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Q Q Q Q
Ginger Necktar proprietor Lois Vickery-Hall says that despite a similar-tasting drink with similar packaging now available, she has not sold her recipe. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Nor would I ever sell my company,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; she told The Echo. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Over the years I have been approached several times to sell Ginger Necktar, but I am not here for the money. I truly believe in my product and its health-enhancing benefits and would never sell. My children now work in the business because they too see the â&#x20AC;&#x153;big pictureâ&#x20AC;? and love my product as much as I do. As we say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We love to make the drinks that you love to drink.â&#x20AC;? We intend to be a part of the Byron Shire landscape for a very long time to come.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Q Q Q Q
Mullum residents beware: a copper has been busting milk-delivery vans for double parking and fining jaywalkers. Complaints received by The Echo also include over-zealous attempts to investigate the
sources of personal pot stashes. While this negative police PR is unnecessary, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth considering the time when a country townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s policeman kept the peace with dignity and was involved in all community events. Mullum hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had a permanent police officer at its station for years. They are a much-needed patch in the fabric we call society. Complaints of unprofessional conduct can be made to the Customer Assistance Unit on 1800 622 571 or mailed to the Customer Assistance Unit at PO Box 3427, Tuggerah, NSW 2259.

The passing of Dame Elisabeth Murdoch last week was a sad day for Australian corporate governance. No longer restrained by his motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s firm hand thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no telling what young Rupert might get up to now. Yes, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a cheap shot, using someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death to push your own barrow. First cab off this rank was the Australian Monarchist League, whose Obadiah Slope issued a press release saying how sad he will be, in the struggle against Republicanism, no longer to receive Dame Elizabethâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s encouraging little notes.

Backlash was surprised by the results of a Victorian study which found that high school students say they are not getting sex education soon enough and want topics such as puberty and pregnancy discussed in primary school. Backlash was educated in the early Jurassic period and there was sex education at primary school then, so education on this topic must not have moved on apace despite the best efforts of Monty Python in The Meaning Of Life. Girls especially need to know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on before the onset of puberty so they can deal with the opinions of high school boys on what constitutes sexual activity or not.

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.
<echowebsection=Backlash>
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 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 7.30pm and Thursday 4.30 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 7.30pm Plus 2 Saturdays 9.30 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 3:30pm Commencing 5th February Venue: Cape Byron Steiner School, McGettigans Lane, Ewingsdale Enquiries: Gerry Josephson 0406 788 050
