He replied that his two Hungry Jack’s stores, ‘employ about 80 local people in regional Australia,’ and, ‘I obtained my third job at age 14 working for McDonald’s.’

‘The people of Byron need to know what is really going on and not just from a Labor-Green view point,’ he says. He also told The Echo that under an agreement with the federal Liberal Party, the Nationals, instead of the Liberal party, are presenting a coalition candidate for the Richmond electorate

A Hungry Jack’s fast-food entrepreneur is set to take on incumbent ALP MP Justine Elliot for the north coast seat of Richmond in the federal election, to be held September 14.

Nationals candidate Matthew Fraser, 33, wasted no time in hitting the press with the message that the carbon tax was a disaster with small businesses, and that climbing gas and electricity prices were to blame, resulting in some business closures.

But questions posed by The Echo to the Tweed candidate remain largely unanswered, except regarding his position on climate change. ‘There is climate change and it is a concern,’ Justine stands on CSG Along with senators Chris Evans Mr Fraser said. He’s yet however, to explain what mechanism his party and Nicola Roxon, local federal MP Justine Elliot has also joined the has in mind to address it.

Another question was how would continued on page 2

‘Building a better community’ meeting planned Thursday A meeting this Thursday aims to address resident experience and will hopefully form the foundation of a community committee for Byron Shire.

It comes just two weeks after the packed-out January 26 meeting, entitled ‘Strange Bedfellows: how to make the tourism-resident marriage work’.

Loosely entitled ‘Building a Better Community’, attendees will be encouraged to make suggestions and offer feedback on possible challenges, opportunities and visions for Byron Shire.

It is anticipated it could play an advisory role to council, business and local and state government, while providing advocacy for residents with the key vision of restoring and pro-

tecting community spirit.

Hosted by long-time local realtor and writers’ festival chair Chris Hanley, he told The Echo that already he’s had an overwhelming response.

Restoring and protecting community spirit ‘I feel very energised and positive about where this can go,’ he told The Echo. ‘Many different people have already expressed a willingness to contribute,’ he says.

‘People who are born and bred here have much to offer, as do the new arrivals, and I see this forum as a safe vehicle for us to travel in; a way we can

move to where we all want to be. And along the way, we also need to remind ourselves to be kind to each other.’

He says the recent first forum addressed the present and the past, ‘but the next stage will be about the future and action.’

‘We need to take responsibility for ourselves as a community,’ he says.

‘We can’t continue to blame the state government or council; we have to make this work for ourselves. I’m getting the message it has to be all inclusive – everyone that I speak to wants to be empowered so that they can have a say on our future.’

Mandy Nolan, who instigated the recent community forum, says resi-

<echowebsection=Local News>

dent experience needs to be prioritised. ‘I believe that if we can improve this, then it will change the face of Byron Bay and the challenges we have faced thus far. It’s not an instantaneous process, but a process which is going to take time.’

Taking responsibility for ourselves ‘I am very positive though about our ability to create something new, dynamic and meaningful.’

Ms Nolan also says Mr Hanley is the perfect person to chair the initial meetings. ‘He has a refreshingly progressive view on community inclu-

sion, combined with the skills necessary for orchestrating what could be a long process,’ she says.

‘After we’ve documented the shared visions of the community, canvased for membership and then elected representatives, we should then have a community committee that can start addressing what the members have specified as key issues.’

The Byron Community Centre has offered to auspice this new committee.

All interested members of the community are welcome to attend the first of the Building a Better Community meetings at the Byron Community Centre on Thursday February 7, from 6 to 8pm. Come and have a say!

In a possible first for the Byron Shire, the region’s business chambers, visitor centres and Council have all come together under one umbrella to establish the Visitor Industry Association, or VIA Byron.

And to kick it off, a new marketing campaign will be launched Tuesday February 12 at the Byron Community Centre from 5pm, where businesses are invited to take part in the promotion.

VIA Byron aims to promote sustainable tourism within the Byron Shire for the economic benefit of the region, and is working in association with Destination NSW as part of the Regional Tourism Partnership Program. The campaign is planned from March to June 2013.

Cameron Arnold, owner of Apartments Inn Byron Bay and president of VIA Byron, said that collaboration is extremely important to ensure marketing

for the Byron Shire is done in a responsible, ethical and sustainable way.

‘This campaign is incredibly exciting for the Byron Shire; never before has such a collaboration for a marketing campaign of this kind been implemented,’ Mr Arnold said.

‘We are pulling together knowledge, resources and expertise from around the entire

Shire and have developed a campaign that will promote the Byron Shire during the quieter winter periods’.

The VIA Byron board includes representatives from Byron United, Holiday Letting Organisation, Brunswick Heads Visitor Centre & Chamber of Commerce, Byron Visitor Centre, Ocean Shores Business Ashored, Mullumbimby Cham-

exodus from their portfolios within the federal Labor Party.

Ms Elliot said in a statement she made the decision, ‘as I want to continue the fight to stop coal-seam gas mining on the north coast.’

‘Conflicted with my obligations’ ‘This campaign conflicted with my obligations within the trade sector. I’ll always stand up for locals on the issues that are important to us: like calling for a moratorium on coal-seam gas mining in our region.

‘In contrast all the National Party MPs and candidates on the north coast support harmful CSG mining in our area.

‘As I’ve said previously, it’s time to draw a line in the sand on the important environmental issue of coal-seam gas mining. We know the community’s view. It is clear. Our community does not want coal-seam

LISMORE ANTIQUE COLLECTABLE FAIR

The Fair will display items from vendors across Australia. With an array of items on display including toys, collectables, jewellery, furniture, and china, the fair is bound to entertain patrons young and old. The fair allows the public an opportunity to add to their collection, or to start off in this fast-growing hobby.

The free admission to children under 14 years will give them an opportunity to learn more about Australia’s early pioneering days, and for the parents to recognise many items from their childhood. Proceeds of the fair benefit the Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter Service.

Admission cost will be $6 Adults.

Businesses from Byron Shire are invited to the launch and will be presented with packages they can invest into to be part of the $160,000 campaign, which targets visiting friends and relatives, south east Queensland residents, event attendees and the international market.

Owner of Byron Beach Café and treasurer of VIA Byron, Ben Kirkwood, said this campaign is a great opportunity for all businesses in the Byron Shire to market their businesses throughout winter and see results.

‘The packages are set up in a way to facilitate inclusion for all local businesses, large or small, at a very reasonable and attractive cost,’ Mr Kirkwood says. ‘We are targeting the markets that we will feel will most benefit the Byron Shire community as a whole’.

gas mining. I call on the National Party state MPs to tell the O’Farrell government that our community demands a moratorium on CSG. The ball is totally in their court: the state government regulates and licenses coal-seam gas mining and they can stop it dead.’

Standing on record ‘I stand on my record,’ Justine Elliot said after the election was called. ‘I’m proud as the local MP to have delivered more than $1.3 billion for roads, schools, health and community resources.

‘This includes $566 million for the Tintenbar to Ewingsdale Pacific Highway Upgrade, $9.5 million for the Byron Regional Sport and Cultural Complex at Byron Bay, $2.7 million for the Lennox Head Cultural and Community Centre and $115 million for upgrades to 90 local schools.

‘I’ll keep working hard to invest in the future of our region by delivering jobs, improving schools and the National Disability Insurance Scheme.

‘I stand up for locals on the

issues that are important to us: like calling for a moratorium on coal-seam gas mining on the north coast.

‘In contrast – all of the National Party MPs and candidates on the north coast support harmful CSG mining in our region. Locals know you just can’t trust the National Party. The cruel state Liberal/ National governments in NSW and QLD are cutting jobs, slashing services and failing to deliver at a local level and this shows you can’t risk Tony Abbott and the National Party in Canberra.’

Elliot sacked for lack of performance: Page In response, local Ballina MP Don Page hit back, telling The Echo, ‘Justine Elliot didn’t quit over CSG. She was sacked for lack of performance.’

He claims (state) Labor handed over 24 per cent of the state to CSG without any regulations.

‘On assuming government, we put in place a moratorium on CSG while a strong regulatory regime was established to guarantee protection of our

water, land, people and the environment.

‘The mandatory codes of practice the new government has put in place for both exploration and mining developed by the chief scientist and an independent scientific committee are the toughest in the world.

‘I pushed for all these safeguards and more but I would still would like to see an audit of all CSG activity and baseline data done so any impact can be effectively monitored.

Gas cleaner than coal ‘Gas is a cleaner energy source than coal and along with renewables has a role to play in meeting future energy demand as even the Greens energy spokesman Dr John Kaye said two years ago in the local media.’

The Greens are yet to put a federal candidate forward; however, MLC Jan Barham told The Echo they are in the preselection process.

The seat of Richmond stretches from the Tweed down to Lennox Head and also includes Nimbin. It has been held

by Ms Elliot since 2004.

Wanganui residents suffer road closure Residents of Wanganui Gorge say they are dismayed and angered by Byron Council’s lack of action after the extreme weather event which has left them with a severely damaged road.

In a letter from Council, Wanganui residents were told, ‘Council wishes to advise all residents that due to the recent weather event and several landslips, Wanganui Road is closed to all traffic at 500m from the intersection of Huonbrook Road’.

<echowebsection=Local News>

The letter says that the road is fully closed for public safety reasons and all residents are advised to stay away from the landslip areas as they are considered unstable.

Spokesperson for the residents, Rossco Phillips, claims that Council’s only action so far was to close the road on February 1, four days after the event.

‘Nobody from Council has been down the extra kilometre to the three slips to inspect them, and even more unbeliev-

able is that no warning signs or safety barriers of any kind have been erected.’ He also says there has also been no response from Telstra after being notified of the damage.

‘Council is obviously going to do nothing until some mythical day when the geo-experts say it’s safe for workers to come down and do something.

‘If the landslip at Wilsons Creek is anything to go by, this is going to be a long boring episode!’ www.echo.net.au

A week of storms and mopping up Eve Jeffery

Cyclonic conditions which dumped untold amounts of water on the Byron Shire kept SES workers occupied from midday Australia Day well into Thursday of last week – with a handful of big tree jobs still to be finalised over the next few days.

A massive 270 jobs were logged over the six-day period, including over 220 ‘trees down/trees threatening’ requests for assistance. SES crews were stretched to their absolute capacity with all manner of roof damage, one collapse and several rescues.

Overall 18 local SES volunteers manned the operation, quite a few short of what they actually needed.

Of the total, 13 formed the backbone of the field teams and operations centre team, with others worked rotating shifts whenever possible.

An operation of the size is just not possible with such a small team and support from volunteers from Rural Fire Service and Volunteer Rescue Association, as well as one team from NSWFR came on board to lend a hand.

Tim Breen and Jack Maloney, from the Mullumbimby SES’ Swift Water Rescue team, were

especially grateful to residents of Mullum Creek who assisted in the medical emergency rescue in flood-bound upper Mullum Creek.

Help also came from volunteers in drier areas, an extra SES team from Albury arrived on the third day, themselves having to contend with flood conditions to get into the area

that needed a hand.

Wind was major factor in this particular event where a ‘trees down’ situation dominated.

A huge number of these trees were giants and beyond the scope of SES and assisting agency storm teams. The SES had to rely heavily on tree contractors; at one point there were four different operators on the

go from first light till after dark.

It seems it never rains but pours, but only after a good burning and what last week’s event does is highlights that the SES needs more volunteers both in the field and in the operations centre.

Byron swimming pool closed

…And Bruns goes off

For a select few, cyclones have benefits. Roving photographer Jeff Dawson snapped this lucky surfer at a Brunswick Heads break on Saturday.

Storm damage to several buildings at the Byron Bay swimming pool has closed the complex and could take up to four weeks to complete, say Council.

Byron Shire Council’s executive manager of corporate management, Mark Arnold, says after assessment, a complete electrical rewiring of the building is needed along with roof repairs. Tradespeople are being sought to undertake the structural repairs, he says.

Repairs have been claimed under Council’s insurance and in the interim Byron Bay Pool season pass holders can use their pass at the Mullum Pool.

Mullum’s new food bank BU slams community

OSTEOPATH Reg#1074713

Volunteers Jenny, John and Jenny are waiting to fill the empty tubs with goods from the state food bank in Sydney.

Story & photo Eve Jeffery

The Uniting Church in Mullumbimby is about to start a food box service in conjunction with the State Food Bank.

The food box provides house-hold basics at a greatly reduced cost for anyone who receives a Centrelink or welfare benefit. Food is delivered in pallets to local food banks at the cost the transport.

Nominal fee Shoppers need nothing more than their Centelink card to register for the service and they pay a nominal fee for items which is basically to help cover the cost of delivery.

Far from being in opposition

to local retail food outlets, the idea is to support and supplement those who are finding it difficult to provide necessary food for their family. John says that he hopes the food bank will allow patrons to have more money at the end of the day for other items that the food bank cannot provide, such as perishable staples.

Mullum food bank – along with Byron – will operate on a Thursday as the Sydney facility dispatches to all the areas on the same day. It is planned at this stage to open at the Uniting Church on February 21.

A cup of tea or coffee will also be available during the food bank mornings from 9.30am until 12pm.

‘Hopefully the next forum will have a more balanced point of view with the representation of Via Byron,’ he wrote, referring to the new shire-wide tourism body. ‘Regardless of the outcomes of forums, we as business operators need to be part of the process.’

Lachie is part of young group Spaghetti Circus that has been performing and training at the National Circus festival in Tasmania for the last ten days. And for the 20 young people there, it’s in part thanks to a generous $5,000 donation from Mullum’s IGA supermarket. Spaghetti Circus artistic director Simon Adams said, ‘Young guys are especially attracted to circus because it gives them a place to show off, take risks, bounce of the walls and we applaud them for doing it. They get to build skills, confidence and fitness while having so much fun they don’t realise it is happening’. Visit www.spaghetticircus. org.au or call 02 6684 3038 for more.

‘We wrote to MP Don Page, the police and National Parks, he told The Echo, ‘and we made some suggestions to improve the area and discourage that type of behaviour. Providing

picnic tables and BBQ areas would be a start, as it could encourage more families.’

Area manager of National Parks Sue Walker told The Echo, ‘NPWS have been undertaking patrols and support the position of the police and Council that any indecent or threatening behaviour should be reported to the Police on 000. There is signage on site that advises the public to report such behaviour to the Police on 000.’

What to do when your movie project fails? Film it! before. I don’t have a single regret, other than the emotional hangover from losing the film.

‘What gets me, and holds true to me, is that the greatest poison in any situation is fear and I think the producers became overwhelmed and afraid.

Mandy Nolan

Making a film is challenging at the best of times, but when you’re the daughter of one of America’s most famous directors and you’re in conflict with producers while you’re working in India, the stakes are even higher.

After a 15-year absence, Jennifer Lynch, daughter of cultdirector David Lynch, had only just returned to the industry after being vilified by press and feminist groups for her debut film Boxing Helena.

Back in 2008, her second film, Surveillance, had just premiered in Cannes and was receiving accolades. Then, as fate would have it, Jennifer meets Indian producer Govind Menon and accepts his invitation to write and direct Hiss, a tale about the vengeful snake Goddess Nagin.

And that is where Penny Vozniak’s extraordinary documentary Despite the Gods begins – a movie about moviemaking, with the passionate director and single mum Jennifer Lynch centre-stage play-

Fear is a poison

Daughter of cult-director David Lynch, Jennifer Lynch, is the subject of Despite The Gods, a documentary that follows her experience shooting a film in India. Jennifer will present the film at The Byron Bay Film Festival, to be held March 1 – 10.

ing out her own Indian drama.

From day one, Lynch approached the project with enthusiasm and hope.

‘I was not one bit prepared for India,’ she says, ‘I think that I felt deeply optimistic and I think I was right to feel that way – there were things like the their equipment; it’s different from what I am used to, as well as the way they work… but the love of cinema and making films was there, and for me that is the way to overcome differences and we did find

our common ground… sadly it was the relationship between the producers and myself that went wrong.

‘It was a Murphy’s Law production – so many things went right, but so many went wrong.’

So why did Lynch set herself such a difficult challenge?

‘I was a single mother and coming from the success of Surveillance and really wanted to do something that hadn’t been done before.

‘Now I guess part of me knows why it hadn’t been done

After defying the odds and completing her shoot over nine months in India, Lynch returned to the States to cut her film. Then the producers stepped in and re-cut her film for release.

‘They said, “No, not what we want”, and before I knew it I didn’t get to make the film.

‘I liken it to having a child.

It was nine months. I had this child in me and it was everything and I fed it and it had struggles and it was terrifying and beautiful and the minute it was born it was taken away from me and now it’s a Kardashian!’

Jennifer Lynch will present Penny Vozniak’s film Despite the Gods at The Byron Bay Film Festival, March 1 – 10.

The hot water for the building is solar boosted and, as an added energy-saving feature, the water circulates through the hot end of the air conditioning units, which heats the water and takes heat from the refrigerant, increasing the efficiency of hot-water provision and air-conditioning.

One billion and rising Giving voice to the horrific stats on the abuse of women and girls Mandy Nolan

One in three women on the planet is raped or beaten in her lifetime.

That is one billion women who will be violated in their lifetime. One billion daughters, mothers, grandmothers, sisters, lovers and friends.

On Thursday February 14, on Main Beach at 7.30am, Byron Bay joins countries around the world to protest against sexual violence. Event organiser ZeOrganiser of V Day, Zenith Virago, is inviting everyone to nith Virago spoke with The assemble on Thursday February 14 on Byron’s Main Beach at Echo about what it all means.

What exactly is V Day – One Billion Rising?

‘V Day is a global strike, an invitation to dance, a call to men and women to refuse to participate in the status quo until rape and rape culture ends.

‘It is an act of solidarity, demonstrating to women the commonality of their struggles and their power in numbers.

‘A refusal to accept violence against women and girls as a given, it is a new time and a new way of being.’

The irony appears lost on the Nationals candidate; the mining industries financially contribute to both major parties and the current Nationals/Liberal state government appear intent on pushing ahead with deals made by the previous state Labor government.

Visitors Trails map subs close soon Tourism businesses are invited to be included in Council’s new Byron Shire Visitors Trails map.

The map aims to provide a comprehensive list of things to do and see in Byron Shire.

‘The map will showcase the artistic and alternative character of the Shire,’ Byron Shire mayor Simon Richardson said.

‘It’s the first time in many years that Council has undertaken a co-operative promotion that supports tourism businesses in the shire. To have a functional visitor map with

artistic flair is a great start and it’s desperately needed,’ he said.

The map will be A2 in size and available free to visitors via the Visitor Information Centres, local businesses, trade shows and expos and local accommodation operators and venues.

Five new visitor trails will be featured, including arts and creativity, food and produce, hinterland, short walks/nature trail and a secondhand trail.

The map will highlight villages, landmarks and distinctive features of the shire with

iconic illustrations. The reverse side of the map will have details and directions for the five trails, pointers to a range of ‘must-do’ Byron Shire sights, experiences and activities as well as advertisements and listings for participating businesses.

Simply download an expression of interest form at www.byron.nsw.gov.au/expressions-ofinterest and email your forms to joanne.mcmurtry@byron.nsw. gov.au. Close of submissions has been extended to Friday February 8, say Council.

NSW council’s financial woes: will state and feds own the problem?

Hans Lovejoy

Local state MP Don Page and federal MP Justine Elliot have defended claims of cost-shifting from state and federal governments to local government by the Local Government and Shires Associations of NSW (LGSA).

It comes after the LGSA released findings that they say cost NSW councils nearly $500 million in the 2010/11 financial year.

President of the Shires Association of NSW, Cr Ray Donald, said it equates to 5.72 per cent of the total income of local government in NSW, before capital amounts. ‘Findings of the LGSA’s cost-shifting survey for 2010/11 are consistent with results of the last five surveys carried out over the previous five financial years, highlighting the continual moves by the state and federal governments to palm their responsibilities on to local government without the corresponding funding.

‘The LGSA has asked the same 23 questions in the past five surveys, with an additional two questions added to the 2009/10 survey and again in collecting the 2010/11 data.

‘If we include those two additional questions, which relate to revenue-raising restrictions on council-managed Crown lands and the shortfall of cost recovery as a result of fee regulation when assessing development applications, cost shifting is estimated at 6.37 per cent of local government’s total income before capital amounts – or $555 million.

‘This survey confirms that cost shifting continues to be a burden on the financial situation of NSW councils and is impeding local government’s ability to deliver services and

maintain infrastructure.’

Don Page, minister for local government and north coast, told The Echo, ‘I believe councils have experienced costshifting in the past by both state and federal governments.

‘The survey results for 2010/11 only include three months (April, May, June 2011) of the state Liberal National government, prior to that being the previous Labor administration.

‘As the minister for local government I am keen to reduce or eliminate cost shifting to local government and am in the process of discussing with the LGSA a new intergovernmental agreement (IGA) designed to improve communications and consultation between state and local government and to reduce cost shifting.

‘By the way, cost shifting occurs from federal to state governments as well – for example, older people who should be in a nursing home (federally funded) are being cared for in our hospital system (state funded). I was pleased to hear the president of the Shires Association say at a local government conference last year (2012) that he was pleased with the lack of cost shifting that had happened since the new state government had been elected in 2011.

‘This was an encouraging comment and I hope it can be kept that way, although of course cost shifting typically happens beyond the local government portfolio. I have also ordered a review of the Local Government Act, part of which will clarify local government responsibilities, which should in turn reduce cost shifting.’

Richmond Labor Justine Elliot told The Echo, ‘In 2011–12, local governments across the

nation received directly from the federal government $2.74 billion in general financial assistance grants.

‘This is in addition to other funding councils receive from the federal government for specific purposes such as black-spot funding or regional development funding.

State to blame: Elliot ‘The NSW ALGA report relates to general cost shifting they consider has occurred as a consequence of the transfer of functions and assets to local government. The bulk of transfers in functions relate to state government activities transferred to local government as identified in the recent productivity commission’s review on regulatory issues.

‘The major transfer of assets from the Commonwealth to local government was the transfer of airports to local government, which the Commonwealth would argue was fully funded.

Other matters relating to Commonwealth activity are the regulatory costs associated with EPBC and other requirements associated with land, which the Commonwealth would not necessarily agree to classify as cost shifting.’

ernment’s failure to reimburse councils for mandatory pensioner rebates for rates,’ said Cr Rhoades.

‘From controlling noxious weeds and managing contaminated land to enforcing the Companion Animals Act NSW (1998) – councils are constantly carrying out activities and regulatory functions for the state and federal governments without sufficient financial resources.

‘This is on top of the financial restrictions placed on the 152 councils across the state, courtesy of the NSW government’s rate-pegging system.

‘It’s not surprising the 2010/11 cost shifting amount of $499 million is equal to the estimated annual infrastructure renewal gap of $500 million per annum, as found in the Percy Allan Report.

‘While the NSW government says that councils are often best placed to provide these costshifted services to communities, councils do not have the means to keep taking on new jobs without adequate resourcing.’

That is morally indefensible and doesn’t even make economic sense.

We need a government that will act responsibly to secure our future!

These are the critical issues which will determine our future, but most political candidates are either blissfully unaware of them or totally reluctant to discuss them.

Mopping up in the wake of ex-tropical cyclone Oswald Q Most of us in the northern Q With life starting to return for assistance in events such around to spending these huge are causing it, and the planet litely trying not to scare the

rivers have become quite accepting of the disruption to our lives caused by downpours and most of us are grateful we don’t live in really catastrophic areas.

We appreciate the fact that teams of SES volunteers risk their lives during these times and that teams of workers are out there restoring power in appalling conditions and we are grateful.

What sticks in my throat is the lack of useful efforts by Telstra to get our landlines and internet back in these difficult times. Like many others, our property was isolated for many days with no access, no power and no phones.

The water receded, the power eventually reached us but still, a week later, we have no phone connection and despite many long tedious calls to Telstra call centres and their promises of priority repairs, no phones!

I believe that Mullumbimby and surrounds only have one Telstra technician, no wonder we have no technical response!

What can we do?

I don’t know, but some years ago we enlisted the help of the Communications Ombudsman and eventually had an aerial installed with a special plug so that a mobile could be used in times when the landlines failed.

This has often been helpful and I suggest that for everyone similarly affected, you contact the Ombudsman and insist on this installation at Telstra’s cost.

Together we may be able to make a difference and instead of being complacent about our ‘service’, rattle Telstra’s cages!

to normal for some people and many still dealing with the fallout from ex-tropical cyclone Oswald, I feel a special note of thanks must go to all those women and men who have given so much of their time, energy and expertise to help others.

People from emergency services, council, roads and maritime services, tree loppers and various community members and visitors have truly exceeded the benchmark when it comes to getting the Shire back on its feet. What an awesome society we live in where many of us can depend on others in times of need.

I think about the awful tragedies that befall citizens (natural and human induced) in so many other parts of the world, and it is during these moments of introspection that it hits home to me how lucky we all are to live in this neck of the woods of such a great country. So, remember to try and spend a little time focusing on the incredible amount of positives that take place in this melting pot of humanity.

as this. In this recent event our own SES flood and storm teams were assisted by an SES team from Albury, other agencies such as the Mullumbimby Rural Fire Service, Volunteer Rescue Association, NSW Fire & Rescue, and also by private tree contractors who all helped to complete the tasks required.

Apart from the teams in the field who are working long hours in sometimes dangerous situations to help householders and businesses, organising all these teams and following up on each of the requests for assistance, 270 in this case, also has to be done by our local SES Unit.

This requires people on the ground and our small, dedicated team needs more volunteers to help do this important work.

If community spirit is important to you and you feel you have something to contribute, you can help your community by volunteering for the SES. Check out the SES website or by calling 1800 201 000.

Q We have been working on our film, 2 Degrees, about climate justice and the need for urgent action on climate change, for over four years now. Having been immersed in this subject for so long, we take it for granted that climate change is real, humans

public. The unparalleled setting of new heat extremes is forcing the continual upwards trending of warming predictions for the future, and the timescale is contracting.

This trepidation on the part of scientists and researchers, and in some cases flagrant resistance by stakeholders in the fossil fuel industry, to allow the real story to be fully revealed and comprehended by the public at large, has allowed the stalling of action to save the planet, and ourselves’.

The media’s behaviour has made us even more determined to finish our film and have it distributed as widely as possible.

will face dire consequences if we continue with the currently universal ‘business as usual’ approach.

But the reaction of the Australian media to the recent fires and heatwave still manages to shock us. There have been very few mainstream media articles linking the recent events to climate change. The few that have resulted in a storm of sceptic voices, led by the national newspaper, The Australian, and members of Parliament from the conservative opposition.

This silence on the part of the media was not by accident. Scientists were speaking up, such as Liz Hanna, from the Australian National University, who made an impassioned plea: ‘Those of us who spend our days trawling — and contributing to — the scientific literature on climate change are becoming increasingly gloomy about the future of human civilisation. We are well past the time of niceties, of avoiding the dire nature of what is unfolding, and po-

increases in a useful way or whether it is only shareholders who have benefitted.

Possibly last week’s storm was such an unpredictable one-off event that no reasonable measures could have prevented the interruption to supply. At the time of writing we have received no explanations, apologies or promises, just as we received no updates as to when the power might come back on. Probably white-collar staff were too busy calling up their electrical repairmen in the middle west of the state to get their arses to Byron pronto – and then immediately redirecting them to Grafton and points south. Certainly part of the problem was a hopeless undersupply of technicians, and we know that one of the typical consequences of privatisation is a huge reduction in staff.

While on the subject of privatisation I might point to a contradiction in public policy: the more efficiently we cut back on electricity consumption, the more unit prices will have to go up to keep the shareholders happy. We can blame the state Labor party for this, but would the coalition have it any different? What do you say Don? Or will you cunningly keep your head down – as always when it’s bad news, eh?

I’m not sure, but am suspicious of, what the origins, angle, or point behind this article is?

It is written as though it is the concluding piece to some longrunning published issue which I seem to have missed the previous instalments of.

As a long-time frequenter of clothing-optional bathing areas around the Byron area, legal or

not, I can categorically and emphatically declare that the most numerous, most graphic, and most flagrant displays of public fornication and lewd sexual display I have ever had the misfortune to witness have definitely been performed by those of a heterosexual persuasion.

and several males performing together on a small knoll on the far side of the lake in full view of every hapless individual peacefully bathing that day. As a homosexual male I am equally appalled by public displays of lewd, gratuitous, and graphic heterosexuality!

May I also reiterate the fact (that most choose to ignore or forget) that a large percentage of the males who do frequent these areas are not or do not identify as ‘gay’ but are indeed ‘heterosexual’ (yes, with wives and children even!) who choose to occasionally, or frequently, indulge in male-to-male contact, for whatever reason. So, for the future, can we please stop targeting a small minority of the community and refer to the protagonists as ‘people’ who practise public lewdness and obscene exposure? Do we really need to get into a discussion as to whose sexuality it is that is flagrantly displayed everywhere, in and on everything, inappropriately in every way every day?

A couple of ‘undercover law enforcers’, uniform or any clothes are not necessary, could have a walk around those beaches and start with ‘clean-up’, so a few of us harmless could enjoy a day on the beach – free of clothes, predators, wankers and live pornography – with our girlfriends, wives, children and grandchildren.

Taxation truths

In The Echo of January 29 Hans Lovejoy has an editorial about making the rich pay their fair share of taxes. I agree with the spirit of the article, as indeed would many very rich men, notably Warren Buffet, but I believe it reveals a common misunderstanding about taxes.

The problem is that income taxes are paid on salaries if you are an employee, whereas they are paid on profits if you own a business. Salaries are easy to determine; profits are not.

If you have a job, it’s pretty easy to know your income – it’s just the total amount your employer pays you. But if you run a business, it’s much harder for the tax office (and you) to know what your profits are.

You only pay taxes on your profit, which may not be much.

Robert Kiyosaki expresses it

neatly in his book Rich Dad, Poor Dad. If you have a job, you pay taxes first, and get to spend what’s left over. If you own a business, you spend your money first, and pay taxes on what’s left over.

The message is clear: if you possibly can, run your own business. Your business can pay for many things. Kiyosaki gives an example when he asks his ‘rich dad’ how he can afford his beautiful home right on the beach. The answer is, ‘I can’t afford it, but my business can.’

Please don’t misunderstand: I’m not saying that business owners are necessarily corrupt. The problem is inherent in the nature of income tax. If you run a business, it really is hard to be genuine about what your profits are.

Some business expenses may be suspect, and the tax office can try to close these loopholes, but there are so many ways to spend money, and so many legitimate expenses, that the quest is futile.

Meanwhile, as long as you depend on a job for your money, you’re a sitting duck for income tax.

Suffolk Park Q Edited for length

Philosophical rebuttal

support vaccine benefits. The conclusion is far from straightforward.

My understanding of philosophy is that it aims to question the dominant paradigm and seek the truth. The broad scientific community is subjected to many pressures and prejudices.

For one, big business in the form of drug companies, who make a fortune out of government-funded vaccinations, are in a position of having enormous influence over what is researched and what is published in the scientific literature and also what is taught in academic institutions. Fortunately there are also independent scientific data which paint a broader picture of the implications on health created by vaccination.

To any open-minded researcher the vaccination debate is a valid scientific debate.

As to Meryl Dorey, she has, under extremely hostile circumstances, shown enormous courage to convey a very important message and ask some very important questions. This woman is clearly very well scientifically informed, and is not an out-of-control troublemaker.

I feel Patrick Stokes has used the cloak of his academic standing to deliver an ill-informed emotional message based on his own opinion. This issue is one of deep philosophical significance, encompassing the injecting of foreign substances directly into the blood stream of immunologically immature babies, and the effects of big business on our belief systems.

It is a dark day when individuals are vilified for questioning the practices and policies of mainstream institutions.

Regarding the article in last week’s Echo by Patrick Stokes.

Mr Stokes has attempted to use philosophy to discredit the anti-vaccination movement and in particular to personally attack Meryl Dorey. It is obvious that little balanced research has gone into the pro-vaccination stance that Mr Stokes so strenuously upholds.

New Years Eve in the Bay – more about the problems Losing sense of place

I was a resident (and ratepayer) of Byron Bay for 15 years from 1992. It was clear to me then that Byron was pretty much made up of three camps – those who wished to exploit it; those who contributed to its welfare and/ or fought to protect it; and the others who either didn’t care or simply cared by complaining.

Of those of us who put any effort into protecting the town we loved back then, several, such

as Jan Barham, continued to serve tirelessly but few were left with any energy to carry on. I myself burnt out pretty quickly after the Club Med campaign and could only hope my vote in local government and state elections was any contribution.

However, it meant nothing in the face of the overwhelming power of the exploiters. Bit by bit, with each new sparkly development and trinket shop, with every residential street

turning into holiday-letting territory we lost our community and sense of place. Despite living in a ‘nice’ street of the old Byron, my home became a fortress against night-time intruders in psychotic states; day-time burglars who busted down deadlocked doors; and once, when I was on the phone, I turned around to see an intruder taking off with my handbag from behind me. That was nothing compared to some of

2013 NSW Redistribution

the terrible things that occurred in other houses nearby.

Judging from recent letters, there is a new generation of carers but given the repetitive use of the term ‘the Byron brand’ being used by many writers, it seems the task of reclaiming Byron Bay as a home is too great. Like Bali, Byron Bay appears to have had the soul sucked from it, been wrung out and left to wither in its mountain of mess. More tragic is the prospect of the same thing happening to Bangalow where the imminent Station Street development represents the first blow in a process that creates wealth for a few at the expense of community. While the idea of ‘investment opportunity’ prevails as ideal, the concept of ‘home’ is lost. The irony is that we pay some of the highest real estate prices and council rates in the country for the privilege of being exploited to the point of having to flee.

Dreading next NYE This is a letter from a very concerned resident of Byron Bay who has been observing the tragedy of bushfires in the news and has decided to describe what could have been a fatal night.

We live in Melaleuca Drive (near BP Ozigo) and had the most unpleasant experience this New Year, as did many people in our town, tourists and residents alike.

As there is a community group about to take these issues to task we felt that our story was worth telling.

Our lovely neighbours kindly let friends of friends, young people from Sydney I believe, camp on their property for a couple of days over the New Year holiday. They are not to blame.

Harmless enough, you would think. Until our road, which is how they accessed the paddock to camp, was posted on Facebook as the road and place to camp for New Year.

On New Years Eve morning I drove to town at 6.45am for my normal lighthouse walk. On the way I saw about 10 vehicles parked in our road. As it is often a campsite for two to three vans and cars I accepted this as normal. Inevitably for that time of year there were more.

Came home and pulled over and spoke to four girls and kindly said that the rubbish around their vehicles was really bad and I hoped they would take it with them. I also pointed to the bushfire evidence of a fire in our road caused by a camp fire in November. I expressed my safety and rubbish concerns in a polite manner.

The girls promised me it would all be cleaned up and that there would be no fires that night, New Years Eve. Thirty 16 February 5, 2013 The Byron Shire Echo

minutes later I ventured into work along the bike path. As it was crowded I had to respectfully ring my bell on a few occasions to try and get through the layers of people. Not fun to be told to f..k off and ride on the grass. Lovely. Nice way to start my day.

When I returned home that late afternoon our road was full of cars, people sitting on the road drinking and the rubbish had got worse. As there were so many of them I resigned myself to locking ourselves on the property for the night and not drawing attention to ourselves. Too late to do anything.

A young man that yelled at me, hey you in the red dress, show us your tits – to the amusement of all – was unpleasant and upsetting.

I told him to pick up his rubbish and leave our road and continued my ride home.

The rubbish included a gas canister in the middle of a mattress with the tent all burnt out to one side and a camp fire in front of the tent. This was so dangerous and I wonder if anyone presented to the hospital burnt that night!

The next day the lovely neighbours and I spent a long time cleaning our road, as most locals did. We over-filled their backhoe with tents, tarps, blankets, clothes and trash.

My friends with their three sons traditionally come to Byron every year from around the 30th for two weeks to eat out, buy local crafts, etc and will not be back next year. The type of holidaymakers we want to encourage will not be back. They too spent New Years Day cleaning up outside their apartment at Clarkes.

I am apprehensive over what may happen next New Years Eve as the majority of the cars camped in our road were QLD number plates and will they be back for another free cam-out weekend.

My partner may not be coming away with me on a planned trip as we fear that they will be back and, if we are not home, who knows what will happen.

I do not know the answer to the town’s problem but definitely would like barriers on our road with access for residents only. We need to avert a potential bush and homes fire disaster.

Maybe we can use social

media to send a loud and clear message this behaviour will have zero tolerance and hefty fines applied.

The stupidly drunk Sure hope Sharon Shostak had a burly bodyguard with her when she dared to brave the streets for some Echonetdaily vox pops on NYE. Gee, it was an amazing little film, also a damning indictment of what the average (and not so average) Joe thinks is a ‘good’ time.

Horrible is a word that comes to mind when summing up the scene our intrepid video maker had to deal with. A veritable sea of stupidly drunk attention seekers trying to get their ugly mugs in front of the lens at the expense of the person trying to answer the questions asked. Apart from a handful of soberish and quite interesting people talking, the main relief was when the film cut to the interview with the local police commander, his quiet rational observations of the evening were such a warm contrast with those who he and his men were trying to protect.

It’s weird, in southern Europe the communities all celebrate and drink a lot too, yet their eyes reveal a different kind of experience, a genuine joy of community and gathering. Here it is a collection of discordant bodies all maxi fuelled with the inhabitant totally unaware of anything around them except the placing of one foot in front of another, albeit like a staggering one-year-old.

Sure, there would have been some great scenes throughout the evening, but standing on the street with a camera revealed something no Byron resident would embrace or be proud of.

Summary… drunk humans are like sheep, they need to be organised, a token band on a token stage near the beach does not provide a strong enough focal point for the huge crowd. If Council could please imagine a mini Splendour or Bluesfest being held somewhere around here on NYE? It could and would become a massive drawcard and a genuine unified collective experience for performers and audience alike.

Byron Bay Community Forum – some solutions?

Byron’s Community Forum got me thinking. Not sure that anyone wants CCTV watching them, especially pot-smoking hippies, so it was with great reluctance that we watched the main street of Nimbin get five cameras erected, live to the copshop, must be nearly ten years ago.

It was a huge compromise, call it harm minimisation, as the ice age had arrived. It still took someone getting permanent brain damage before it happened.

The result is here for everyone to see today. Rows of shopfront windows used to be smashed regularly, until insurance wouldn’t pay anymore.

Hasn’t happened once since we got the cameras.

At least a couple of times a week the sunrise used to reveal broken glass all over the street.

I can’t even remember when that last happened.

It’s easy to ‘take out’ the cameras and render them useless, and it’s happened a few times, but interestingly these days they are left alone.

The people who may be violent are very camera aware and lines like, ‘come out the back off camera and I’ll bash you’, don’t seem to work very well!

CCTV certainly doesn’t end all violence but it does displace it and stop impulsive thugs having their way. Must be tempting to at least make Jonson Street feel safer.

Seen it all before It was worth the trip to the ‘Mandy’ discourse if only to witness Mr Waters of Byron United attempting an oral pedectomy regarding his advice on a Lismore transfer for ruffled residents. Also I thought I detected somewhat uneasy smile on Simon Richardson’s face as the worthy BU rep extolled the bright new dawn emerging with Council, now that some ‘troublemakers’ have moved on.

Otherwise all was boringly predictable with Ms Barham fully prepared with a pin for usual balloons of ill-researched ‘solutions’, Tom Mooney blaming the Council and extolling his own virtues as an employer, Mandy optimistic, amusing and forceful (her show after all) and the mayor – smooth as custard.

But poor Don Page, squirming in his seat, giving the impression he would love to be anywhere else on (or off) the planet and having nothing much to offer except ‘I will look into’ or ‘something may be available if others would only do the work’.

It is a long time since Don stood on a stage at Mullum and condemned Bush’s invasion of Iraq in the face of Larry Anthony’s support. Now that he has finally reached the ‘promised www.echo.net.au

land’ with a portfolio in a conservative government he has been politically emasculated; not standing strongly against local CSG mining, supporting the trashing of planning controls on environmental land and allowing his caravan-park bureaucrats to run roughshod over the community.

Put off by language I am compelled to write regarding the ‘farcical forum’ held on Saturday night.

To begin, my understanding was that we were to have a serious discussion about the distasteful outcomes of New Years Eve celebrations, and to address bad behaviour that seems to be the norm most weekends in Byron Bay The opening comments by the convenor about not using foul language like ‘don’t call anyone a f...ing idiot’, during the discussion (which she repeated continually) did not set the scene for a change in culture and some of the audience found it extremely offensive.

The crux came for me when criticism was put about the ‘Byron Naturally’ campaign which shows an extremely attractive local lady in beach wear followed by a comment made by the convenor that ‘Buff shirtless men would look at the ad and want to “Bone” the said lady’ (words may not be exact).

Many cringed and one may ask what tone does that set.

Additionally, the hogging of the microphone by the convenor, and the display by the ex-mayor (who appears to forget that we have a new mayor and a more reasonable one at that) was another indication that it was not about hearing the community and panel’s views but in my opinion a grandstanding exercise by elements we can well do without.

The long dead issue of the old and defunct $7 million debt, and the mention of outstanding resolutions of Council, raised by the ex-mayor, had nothing to do with the debate and did little to assist in seeking solutions.

Finally, it was very disappointing that the police did not bother to attend, as their input is critical.

The forum was a waste of everyone’s time and achieved nothing in my view and the view expressed to me by many who attended.

Di Woods

Councillor/Deputy Mayor

The holiday lets Six hundred and forty million dollars. At least. Got your attention? It’s our money. Want to get it back? Wonder why we are broke? Let us speak of due process and its opposite, corruption. Let us speak of genu-

ine business, and bludgers living off other people’s money.

If I heard our mayor correctly, there are 640 illegally let residential houses in Byron Bay, plus the illegally operating B’n’Bs, for example those which are approved for a single room but instead rent multiple rooms and don’t bother to comply as B’n’Bs, eg no owner on site. The fine for illegal letting: $10,000 per night. As the offence is committed every 24 hours, flagrantly, without remorse, year in year out, the full and just punishment of these white-collar offenders will result in fines totalling many millions of dollars. These fines are payable to us. To Byron Shire.

That’s right, it’s OUR money.

Secondly, the properties will almost certainly become forfeit. These houses will then be ours. By applying the law, we can net hundreds of millions in fines, deservedly bankrupt the offenders, and get our hands on hundreds of houses. These can then be let to the kinds of people we want here, such as local teachers, police, health workers, etc, but also the new wave we require: the health industry, and the media and communications generation that will make Byron a genuinely functional town again, but who are held back by the illegal operators of the tourist industry. The designers and manufacturing entrepeneurs kept away by ridiculous rents.

Why are illegal B’n’B scammers not pursued? Why are the illegal holiday letters tolerated?

The ‘partiality’ which corrupts has operated too long in their favour, to the detriment of the community. They maintain the fantasy that they are ‘the only

business in town.’ Actually, the biggest employer is a manufacturer who very nearly relocated specifically because their employees cannot live here. In truth, the illegal letters are the enemy of real business, strippers of profits to out-of-town incompetents who can only profit as cheats.

Get rid of the shysters. Real people, such as graduates of SAE and SCU who want to build real 21st century businesses here, are held back by the dodgies. The dodgies who cannot operate successful businesses on a level playing field.

The genuine tourist businesses are leached by the dodgies.

Residents subsidise their services through inflated rates, rents, and, let’s face it, the loss of the town.

I see a big bag of money. I see hundreds of houses awaiting real residents. I see genuine business growth. All that is required to achieve this is the just application of the existing laws.

Those who refuse this task are the corrupt.

Hairy mammoth Naively, I set off full of hope on Australia Day to the Community Future Forum held at the Community Centre. The Echo had heralded a ‘robust conversation on the challenges that face Byron Bay’. Yes well, as Mungo might say.

After an hour of Q&A on the negative impacts of alcohol and untrammeled tourism (which I grant you are serious problems) I gave up hope of putting my question to Don Page on his position on coal-seam gas

NOTICE OF DETERMINATION OF MODIFICATION APPLICATIONS Modifications to the Project Approval for Cultural Events Site at Yelgun

The local police’s no-show at the public forum on Byron’s antisocial woes was a pity, but in fairness, it was a Saturday night on a long weekend in Byron Bay. It can be dangerous!

This lack of representation did come as a surprise given it wasn’t that long ago the police area command made a big deal about asking this community what it wanted from its police.

Perhaps I shouldn’t have said at the time I wanted them to come around and weed my garden.

Demystifying money – who actually owns it?

Colin Cook

‘I

F IT IS in my pocket/ purse/wallet it is obviously mine and if it is in my bank account – well that’s mine too’.

Not true!

What is in your pocket is yours but that in your bank account belongs to somebody else – it is only on loan. To see this we need to dig deeper and ask the important questions, ‘How is money created and who creates it’?

The banknotes you possess have been produced for the Reserve Bank of Australia – at a very modest cost – and sold to commercial banks at face value by the RBA. The profit on the deal – called sovereignty – finds it way to the public exchequer. There is currently $58.5 billion worth of notes in

circulation. The coins you possess have been produced by the Royal Australian Mint and are sold into circulation – generating a bit more sovereignty for the public purse. There is about $3 billion worth of coinage.

From nothing The other money circulating in the economy consists of digital entries popping in and out of our bank accounts; this money has been created out of nothing by the commercial banks and is lent into circulation at an interest rate. A customer goes into a bank and asks for a loan. ‘Certainly, how much?’ ‘$Ythousand.’ ‘Our current interest rate is X per cent.’

The keyboard rattles and hey presto, there is the $Ythousand in the current account, ready to start circulating. That’s it in the simplest of terms.

A deputy governor of the Bank of England explained, ‘Banks [make loans] by simply increasing the borrowing customer’s current account…

That is, banks [make loans] by creating money’.

There is a theory called Fractional Deposit System used to complicate the concept of bank lending, but the plain-speaking concept is that the bank lends when a loan is sought; how to reduce the risk to the bank is sorted out later.

This money, though real money in many senses, is better called interest-bearingdebt. The total amount of money in circulation in Australia was $1506.5 billion in October 2012; the Money Base, notes and coins, was $59.8 billion which is just four per cent of the total.

Thus, we collectively own four per cent of the lifeblood of the economy; the other 96 per cent is created and owned by the banks and lent to us at interest.

If you own it, you control it That 96 per cent of the lifeblood of the economy owned by commercial banks has very important influences on society. The control is exercised by the active directors of the banks – probably about 25 people in all; their decisions are determined by the commercial interests of their organisations, especially that of risk to their precious commodity, shareholder value and executive bonuses. They decide how much money is out in the economy – they create and uncreate – and who gets to use it.

Money therefore is predominantly channelled to low-risk loans like housing; if there is default, the bank gets

account of the digital age. Currently there are moves to update media legislation for the digital age, but no word on the updating of financial laws for the digital age to re-establish the sovereignty of money supply.

But this is an ‘Emperor’s New Clothes’ story; the true situation is not visible to the ministers and courtiers, nor to most experts and onlookers!

Hence the lack of initiatives to modernise.

Must be our monopoly

the house. On a business loan there are many imponderables and in the case of a default there may be little to recover.

In the UK, only eight per cent of loans go to businesses, the majority of the remaining 92 per cent goes to housing! It is likely to be similar here. The billions going to housing inflates the cost of housing – and generates speculation.

So when the economy is going well, the bank’s money is safe and lots of it is lent, especially to housing. But if there is a hiccup and the safety of the bank’s money is in question, then the supply is restricted; old loans are paid off but not replaced by new loans and the economy shrinks. The boom and bust cycles match the mood of the bank’s directorates – their willingness to lend versus their concern for risk.

Our government is not involved in these decisions about 96 per cent of the money sup-

ply, save through the oversight of the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority. The RBA itself is independent of government, as are the commercial banks. The system is essentially non-democratic; it is independent of ‘us’. Remember, ‘No bank is an island’ – they may be independent of us but not from the international banking system. It is ‘their’ money that makes the world go round, not ‘ours’.

Increasing debt is inevitable Interest has to be paid on the 96 per cent owned by the banks and where can the interest money come from? Only by further borrowing! No surprise that the total money supply is increasing by about five per cent a year. It was $1180.8 in 2008, $1309.5 in 2010 and $1506.5 in 2012 (taken in October each year in billions). You may not have the negotiated a loan yourself, but the interest on this bank-created money must be paid – somehow or other – by us all. In UK this has been estimated at A$130 per person per month.

The facts are that until we, the people, community, the country take back/re-establish the monopoly of money supply to serve us and stabilise the money supply to suit our needs, we will continue: – to suffer a boom and bust economy, with all the attendant, personal miseries these generate; – to see land and house prices escalate out of reach and productive enterprises underfunded; – to have increasing public debt and budgetary problems; – to have higher taxes than need be; – to see governments of the day frustrated in funding socially desirable programs.

The long-awaited new Byron Bay Library will be open to the community from Monday, 11 February 2013.

Mayor Simon Richardson said he expected library memberships to significantly increase as residents are lured by Byron Bay’s newest public space.

It’s a wonderful space for all ages, said Mayor Richardson, and he thanked the Byron Bay Friends of the Library, Council library committee members, past councillors and staff for their dedication in ensuring that the facility was delivered to the community.

‘Over ten years plus in project development, the new Byron Bay Library has been worth waiting for,’ Mayor Richardson applauded.

‘The building is filled with natural light and features a multitude of specialised rooms for studying, meetings and community exhibitions.

‘Located in the centre of town on the corner of Middleton and Lawson Streets, I can see the new building becoming a strong community hub,’ he said.

A community family fun day will be held on Saturday 16 February from 9.30am to 1pm at the new Library. Activities include storytelling, local Indigenous dancers, Pete the Pirate, face painting, a performance by the Northern Rivers Ballet Company and a sausage sizzle.

Construction commenced in September 2011 and the new library has been designed to incorporate sustainable features which provide the building with a five green star environmental rating.

Mayor Richardson said the new library is Byron Shire’s first public building to meet the green standard and is a statement of what can be achieved with ecological and sustainable design features.

What is a 5-star green rating and how was it achieved?

The building has been designed to achieve the equivalent of a five green star rating as defined by the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA).

Solar passive design principles have been adopted and the major window areas face north and south. The main library area has high south-facing windows, in a traditional sawtooth roof, to provide even and non-glaring natural light to as much of the interior as possible.

The light-coloured steel roof reflects solar radiation and includes thermal insulation. The external walls are also insulated and a green wall has been installed on the eastern side to provide additional shading and insulation. The foyer and general circulation corridor are naturally ventilated by the unpowered roof ventilators.

Byron Bay has a mild climate.

Relatively few days each year require a high level of mechanical cooling or heating. The building has a energy-efficient reverse-cycle airconditioning system for those days when additional cooling or heating is required.

The design maximises the use of controlled natural lighting to provide

outlooks for the building’s occupants as well as to minimise the requirement for artificial lighting. Most of the seating is around the perimeter and the book shelves are located in the interior zone. This gives people the priority for access to natural light. However, the extensive highlight windows bring plenty of even natural light into the interior zone.

The hot water for the building is solar boosted and, as an added energy-saving feature, the water circulates through the hot end of the air-conditioning units, which heats the water and takes heat from the refrigerant, increasing the efficiency of hot-water provision and airconditioning.

Rainwater runoff from the site and roof is caught in an underground tank, thereby reducing the amount of water into the town stormwater system. Stormwater is then stored in other underground tanks for use in the drip-irrigation system and for toilet flushing.

Building materials have been selected with regard to their good environmental qualities such as their low impact on indoor air quality, recycled content and ability to be recycled.

The landscaping uses species which are appropriate for the local environment and have a high degree of draught tolerance. The planting areas are watered by an efficient drip-irrigation

system using the water harvested from the building’s roof.

The new Byron Bay Library will become a lifelong learning centre and features a dedicated exhibition area to display and celebrate the talent of artists and craftspeople within the shire.

A designated room for Indigenous research and archival material has also been included to recognise the vital role the Bundjalung of Byron Bay Arakwal People played in making the land available for the library.

Mayor Richardson said Council would also like to thank the NSW state government and NSW State Library for providing a total of $400,000 towards the new library.

The new Byron Bay Library has been built at a cost of $3.75 million.

GIVEAWAYS* INTERNATIONAL UKE STAR IN MULLUM! Canadian Ukulelist James Hill is part of a new international uke movement that has seen the little 4-stringed instrument push its way to centre stage. Catch this sensational gig at the Mullumbimby ExServices Club on 3 March, and if you want to win a double pass then you need to email gigs@echo.net.au with subject header ‘I do anything for Uke’.’.

Welcome home. Can you tell me some of the highlights of your international touring for 2012?

We played a show at Village Underground, in London, in September. We also had a concert on a rooftop in Madrid as part of the series Soundays en La Terraza.

Another highlight was performing at the Philadelphia Fringe Theatre Festival with Back to Back Theatre.

Two tours of Europe and the UK in one year – how do you guys do it and still maintain a family life? Our tours aren’t particularly long, and our tour party is very small, so the organisation is fairly easy. We’ve been doing it for so long that most of the pitfalls are foreseeable.

We once played nineteen shows in twenty days, and by the end of it I was sad there weren’t more! Once you get into the rhythm of touring, it’s quite easy.

Tell me what you mean by ‘letting the music take care of itself’. The Necks make music in a very nonverbal way. Our method is one that has evolved over decades of playing together – for over 30 years now, in various lineups. Rather than prescribe – verbally – the trajectory of a piece, we merely begin playing and let one thing lead to another. The result is then a complex mix of spontaneous improvisation and learned activity/ reactivity. The music we have played in the past very much informs what we are doing in the moment.

We very much wanted to create a ‘group’ sound – as opposed to one centred around having a soloist and a backing band. When we play live, we are aware of the clashing and the sympathetic resonances that result from the interplay of the various instruments (this is something that is unique to every performance). When something interesting starts happening in a room, we tend to follow that, instinctively, and at times it can be difficult to know exactly who is playing what. Thus, the totality can subsume one’s own, individually perceived, input into the music. It’s a bit like steering a boat.

You talk of reaching ‘emptiness’ when you are playing. In yogic and meditative traditions, this is the goal. Is their a spiritual element to the process of improvisation – that you can’t contrive, but respond, listen and follow? I don’t tend to use terms such as ‘spirituality’ or ‘emptiness’ when describing the Necks’ music. However, there are distinct parallels between the sort of mental focus we bring to a performance and certain meditation practices.

There is the feeling of entering a different subjectivity with regards to experiencing time passing (interestingly, we tend to play for somewhere between 45 and 55 minutes – and this is something that has been the case since the earliest period of the band’s evolution).

There is a certain void with regards to the future. When I’m on stage, thinking about where I want a piece to go is something I very much try to avoid.

One of the things that made the Necks such a breakthrough for me was that I had begun to play music that seemed also to require that I ‘listen’ to it – while I’m

Get it in the Neck playing. While performing, I am also part of the audience – placing myself in a feedback loop, whereby I’m playing music that is also being informed and shaped by listening to the music that I’m playing – something that I had never really experienced before.

What do you think people take away from your shows? What effect do you think the music has on them? What are the typical reactions of your audience members? The Necks’ music revolves around the performing of many small and similar musical ‘units’ that combine together so that, over time, huge change takes place in a way that can be difficult to perceive. This ‘change’ comes about largely through the physicality involved in the playing of our instruments as well as the interpretation of (and experimenting with) the context (architectural, instrumental, production etc…) in which we find ourselves performing. In this way, we are not repetitive, but give the illusion of being so. We start in one place and end up somewhere else and, even though we may not be entirely cognisant of it, every utterance along the way is unique and crucial to this process of evolution. This approach can render music that is both mesmerising as well as being dynamic and changing.

We have had numerous instances of people saying that they found our music difficult for ten or so minutes, but then, having ceased to ‘fight’ the music, have had a profound epiphany whereby the mesmeric nature of what we do became apparent and powerful.

In some ways what we do has similarities to a nineteenth century approach to music-making, whereby certain composers, eg Berlioz, attempted to tell narratives in their compositions. Although our narratives are very abstract, they are, nonetheless, a combination of events that can take an audience through a series of dynamic and emotional highs and lows. This is a very different ap-

proach to one that allows for an audience to experience a set of short, discrete pieces.

The New York Times described you as ‘one of the greatest bands in the world’. Is it satisfying to get those sort of accolades. How have you seen your music and your process grow and change since the inception of The Necks? The Necks hit upon something very early on in its lifespan. There are things we did back in the late eighties that we still do today – ideas that we play with in a concert that could have been played with twenty years ago.

When we formed the group we were all in our midtwenties and so had been playing our instruments professionally for many years. The Necks was not the band in which we first learned how to play and at some point to become proficient on our instruments.

What has happened over the course of the band’s life, is that we’ve added to what was a strong concept to begin with Having said that, I also feel that we’ve moved towards a more autonomous approach whereby the resultant group ‘sound’ is made up of much more polyrhythmic and contrapuntal elements than was hitherto the case. That’s not to say that we no longer join together in recognisable ‘feels’ – rather, the music now has many more options outside of this. As with most things to do with the band, the change has manifested itself slowly over many years.

Can you tell me what to expect for your Byron show?

The Byron Bay Community Centre is one of the best venues we play, anywhere. It has an incredible piano and the sound and the size of the room have always made for very enjoyable shows.

The Necks play the Byron Community Centre on Wednesday.

BABY IT’S YOUYOU Baby et Lulu is the charismatic musical partnership of Abby Dobson, songstress extraordinaire, and former frontperson for the platinum-selling Leonardo’s Bride, and Lara Goodridge, violinist/singer with the celebrated string quartet FourPlay. The album was recorded live at 301 Studio in Alexandria and then at Brighton Boulevard studio by producer par excellence Tony Buchen (Tim Finn, Blue King Brown, Washington) – and features an eclectic mix of classics and contemporary numbers written by some of the 20th century’s greatest French songwriters. From romantic songs about strolling along the Champs Élysées and a muchloved Cole Porter jazz standard, to tracks made famous by Edith Piaf, Brigitte Bardot and Françoise Hardy – Baby et Lulu have collated here a passionate tour de force of French song. Saturday 23 Feb at Byron Bay Community Theatre.

THE BYRON SOLUTION

Everyone loves outcomes. Solutions. Full stops. And why shouldn’t they? It’s the baby without the long wait for adoption or the pregnancy or the labour, the meal without the cooking. Instant gratification is clearly appealing. Why would anyone want something later when you can have it now? Who really wants to throw themselves into a process to work towards an outcome? It’s boring. It takes time.

And, it’s hard. But right now that’s where we are at in the Byron Shire. We are at the beginning, not of an outcome – we don’t even know what that looks like right now – but at the beginning of creating a process that might one day deliver outcomes.

While there have been all sorts of valid remarks in response to the community forum held on Australia Day, from positive to negative, the one I find the most perplexing, and short sighted, is ‘they didn’t offer any solutions’. You are kidding, aren’t you? Are there really people out there that expect solutions with that sort of rapidity? Wow, imagine if after all these years of conflict, of reports, of letters to the editor, of committees, of complaints that six people on a panel should be able to come up with a solution in just two hours! Wow, that’s like sending your kid to their first day of school and then going ‘come on this is a waste of time. He can’t even read yet!’ That’s some pretty high expectation level. A person can only be seen to fail in those circumstances. Imagine the outcry of our arrogance if we did come up with solutions. ‘Yep, knocked off Byron’s problems in two hours. Got the whole thing sorted. Just had a call from Barack Obama – going to be heading over to sort out their gun situation; I’ll give it a day. And after that I was considering having a crack at climate change. Reckon at this rate I’ll be able to clear up that whole shitfight in a week. CSG? Won’t even take me an afternoon!’

As far as I understand it, solutions, like problems, take time to take root. Establishing a collaborative process takes time, especially if all the voices are to be heard. But if it’s solutions you are after, then I’ll see what I can do. Here’s my take on The Byron Problem. I call it The Byron Solution.

There was a lot of chat about alcohol supply and closing times and whose responsibility it was to get people out of town and should there be security etc. Now I figure if the pubs and clubs never shut, no-one will ever have to go home, they can stay drinking until their livers fail.

performances – folk influence, bluesy, gritty, with a minimalist approach. Curren’s music goes beyond the immediate surf market. He explores musical styles and combinations of sounds that reflect his unique perspective. He appears at the Hotel Great Northern on Friday.

BIG BAND SWINGS The Northern Rivers Big Band is a 17-piece big band featuring the vocalists Laura Nobel and Jim Fairfull. The band plays tunes from the 1930s / 1940s including Glen Miller and Duke Ellington, plus many more modern great tunes. The happy, full sound of a real big band re-creates the swing era. Laura Nobel and Jim Fairfull are both very well known vocalists in the northern rivers. The Northern Rivers Big Band will play a concert on Sunday at the Ballina RSL Club starting at 2pm. Doors at 1pm. Tickets $12.50 and may be purchased at the club on the day or online at www.ballinarsl.com.au.

far less aggressive when they are in organ failure.

So we don’t need more taxis. We may, however, need a few more ambos. There was a complaint that there’s not enough cops on NYE and that local engagement and ownership of the night was lost.

So why not have all the locals dress as police for a big jazz doof on the beach? We could have a big street parade of 9,000 cops. Hang on, let’s engage the whole shire and get 30,000 cops! I reckon that might put off NYE revellers. Sure, let’s put in CCTV, but let’s sell the TV rights first. We could be making some big bucks off our 3am street violence. As for schoolies week and illegal holiday lets, well it’s only a problem because residents are complaining. If there were no residents, then there would be no complaints. I suggest a removal of the residents during peak times. Hell, let’s get them out, full stop. Imagine the money we could make if Byron Bay could be one big illegal holiday let! That way it wouldn’t matter whose front lawn you did a shit on! Who needs public toilets when you’ve got lawn! As for the beaches: Well, let’s open a floating bar… shit, we could call it Belongil! Or we could close everything. Just nail up a sign at the entrance saying ‘Fuck off ’. Let’s set up a new town called ‘I can’t believe it’s not Byron’. We could start shooting strangers. And residents. And young people. They are clearly the root of all evil. And middle-aged people. And old people. We could outlaw booze and just hand the whole place back to nature. So, there’re my solutions. They might need some work, but in the short time I had to prepare them, it was the best I could do. (For those having conniptions, I suggest you google the word SATIRE).

Oh and by the way, there is something I should make clear. I have a personal agenda. I’ll admit it. I want Byron Shire to be a safe place to bring up my kids and I want to live somewhere with a flourishing economy and a flourishing community and a flourishing environment. Have your say, share your vision, your ideas, and your views at our first community meeting at the Byron Community Centre on Thursday at 6pm. All ideas and all people welcome. Just don’t go home expecting solutions tomorrow. They won’t be ready until the following week.

Americana folk-country singer Shawn Colvin is heading our way for Bluesfest, showcasing her brand-new album All Fall Down. For Colvin, like most of her music, it was an organic process. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what I wanted in the end; I just wanted my friend Buddy Miller to produce it and I trusted him. I had heard other records that he had produced and that he is very organic and seems to represent people well. At the time I was working on finishing a book and wanted to turn the reigns over to someone else and not have to make those choices, it was a nice choice to makeâ&#x20AC;Ś not to make choices!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Writing Colvinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memoir Diamond in the Rough was a whole new process for her. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;It was strange, daunting,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; she admits, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;but you know, I knew the subject matter! You are not objective â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I did interviews with friends so I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always just writing from my head; that was helpful. I changed a couple of names where I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to expose parts of peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives they wanted to keep private, but it was pretty easy, really,

because I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any axes to grind.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Colvin believes that writing is a responsive medium. When songwriting herself, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always about variation. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I can have a sudden idea. One of the ways I like to write is when someone gives me a piece of music with no words to it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it can really jumpstart you â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I guess because you are not so close to it that you are judging. I write things on scraps of paper; I will hear an old song that I like and try to write something like it.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; In fact Colvin was chosen to present one of the great songwriterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music (Leonard Cohen) at the Pen Awards for Songwriting in the US last year. Cohen is one of her songwriting heroes, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the only one. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Joni Mitchell was a huge influence on me; Paul Simon, James Taylor, other great lyricists, Bob Dylan, Robby Robertson, fantastic lyrics.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; When it comes to approach though, the girl who came to fame back in 1987 singing backup vocals for Susan Vegaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Luka ad-

WILLING AT THE RAILS

8 Ball Aitken is the redneck preacher at the shotgun wedding between country and blues. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter which part of the family youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re from â&#x20AC;&#x201C; what does matter is the funky foot-stomping hullaballoo at the all-night party afterwards. Hailing from far north Queensland (and now Nashville based), he grew up in a run-down DEMON PARADE AT THE tobacco shed, picking tropical fruits BEACH HOTEL ON FRIDAY by day and picking guitars by night.

8 Ballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first break came when he was hired to play at Johnoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Blues Bar in Cairns. He is touring with his new live one-man-band album Alive In Tamworth. With his trademark electri-fried slide guitar, sense of humour, interactive 3D audience participation and swamp antics, he has come up with a barnstorming riot of a recording. 8 Ball has performed at festivals and clubs throughout USA, Canada, Australia, and Europe. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s toured in Japan four times, has also played extensively in Germany, Poland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway and the UK. Thursday at the Rails, Friday at the Mullum Ex-Services and Sunday at Tyalgum Hotel.

The Andreas BĂśhlen Band, a quartet of saxophone, guitar, bass and drums, is a young, highly energetic and innovative modernjazz band based in Germany and Switzerland. The musicians have a deep affinity with both traditional and modern jazz languages, and have worked together for 15 years. During this long collaboration, and also throughout their studies at the Amsterdam Conservatory, the Manhattan School of Music NYC, Hamburg University of the Arts, Graz University of the Arts and the GĂśteborg Conservatory, the group has matured and developed a savvy, unique band sound.

A way of creating musical emotions at will has inspired a prolific compositional output from the band leader, Andreas BĂśhlen, whose background as both a jazz saxophonist and a classical recorder player results in a highly distinctive overall band sound. His sharp ears and intelligent musical mind give him a clear vision of his music and how to utilise the specific skills of the band members to make the music speak. The Andreas BĂśhlen Band are at the Bangalow Bowling Club on Wednesday, 8pm. $15 at the door.

MARCH 1–3 SEES THE SPIRIT FESTIVAL RETURN TO THE STREETS OF MULLUMBIMBY. FEATURED MUSICIAN AND HEALER IS NAHKO, A MIX OF APACHE, PUERTO RICAN AND FILIPINO. NAHKO ADMITS THAT HIS FASCINATION WITH MUSIC STARTED AT JUST SIX YEARS OF AGE AND IT WAS THE THING THAT BRIDGED HIS CULTURAL GAPS. How did your own identity crisis help form your world view? It helped a lot. I grew up wickedly conservative, y’know? I grew up in a white family in the suburbs where I was pretty far away from anything outside of western culture. So when I left home at 17 and lived on my own for the winter, I became really jaded of the world around me. I left home kind of bitter. It took many years to come around and see how blessed I had been to be taken in by my adoptive family, given food and shelter, a sense of spirituality etc. I met my birth mother at 20 and that shifted a lot, pushing me into a phase of more understanding and interpretation of the world around me and how I was to fit in. Meeting my family and beginning the road to clarity around my cultural background was huge and is still a big part of my story. Having said all that, my world view started out very innocent and, as I got older and identifying myself as brown and not white, I began to see that the world also looked at me differently and that was a big thing to wrap my head around. It was really confusing! Fuckin’ crazy world!

What were the major challenges for you as a young person in a predominately white and middle-class world? Being in the state of consciousness that I was white, having no knowledge of my own culture, and no freedom to explore spirituality outside the strict religious context. I had no real struggles like you would think from some artists that come up from under – I was fed well, had a loving family, education at home, went to church four times a week, had mostly all white friends from church only, a nice house to live in, and we were a middle-class family with healthcare. It made it really difficult to make friends from other ethnic backgrounds for many years.

I didn’t even recognise my community around me was so white until years later. I was still in the throes of seeing my skin colour and what that meant to the people around me. Especially, once I began to own it, my white friends became disenchanted and some walked.

When did you first hear your call of spirit? I think that our call is a constant hum since spirit has existed within us since birth. I think maybe I began to feel spirit strongly and feel the connection when I moved to Alaska for a summer/fall at 18. Six months in Alaska, I had spent quality time alone in the woods and with people of the land.

It was there my understanding of god and spirit became renewed and more clear. My relationship with the land and nature had taken a whole new turn as Alaska showed me how small I was in relation to the earth.

How have you integrated this in your life and your music? The music has come strictly from those stories. A lot of my prayers and questions/answers to spirit have been placed in the songs as being my personal mantras and back/forth with my higher self. Writing songs became an outlet for my inner questioning and sharing them with an audience fuelled the power behind them. I have returned to the land at the request of spirit – and in Hawaii I learned about my relationship to music and to the land and how they are one for me.

Who are the people that most inspire you? Both my mothers and fathers inspire me in different ways. My siblings are all beautiful and a big part of my inspiration to be a good example and strong older brother. In the political world, Winona LaDuke, Nelson Mandela, Jon Trudell, and Mililani Trask – these are all people who fight for the rights of the people and of the land and our environment. In the music world – Matisyahu, K’naan, Conner Oberst, Bach, and Chopin!

If you could change anything in people what would it be? It would be nice to change one thing in people as a whole – maybe that would be giving everyone the ability to love unconditionally; this would allow compassion, grace, and trust to flow abundantly… maybe.

If you could change anything in the world what would it be?

Land recovery. Giving land back to the rightful people.

How do you see us moving forward into what appears to many as a very uncertain future? I think if we work on ourselves and find our perfect peace with what’s happening, what has happened, and what will happen – we won’t feel like the future is ‘uncertain’. If we change our language around ‘what is happening’ and see that what we want to happen can happen if we will it. I see us moving forward once we change our attitudes towards each other.

Why do you think we have resisted making the changes we need to make for our survival? I think it’s part of creation story now. Many of us have made the changes for survival. On a big scale, we haven’t. And even those small communities around the globe

are being threatened. I think the resistance comes from people afraid to change what they buy and consume because we are all vulnerable to the unknown.

What do you identify as your key message? Activate yourself to make changes. Change begins with me and then we can reflect to others.

Is it possible for a technological world to really take on ancient wisdoms? What would that kind of world look like? Of course it is. I believe we’re merging those worlds right now. Between social networking online and face-to-face networking – as well as bringing worlds together that never before connected – those, too, are keeping ancient traditions alive and helping other places in the world see that it is possible to keep oral and spiritual traditions alive.

Can you tell me what you will be presenting at Spirit Festival? I personally will be representing the native people of the US through my songs and stories. We are high vibes and we will be presenting a full show of activating words and tunes. The rest of our band will be representing peace and justice for all! With cajon beats and big guitar solos!

s r a t S WITH LILITH The effects of the eastern Year of the Water Snake on the animals of our western zodiac is best summed up by the Latin mantra eadem mutata resurgo, which translates as I shall arise the same though changedâ&#x20AC;Ś

E ARIES: The year of the Ssnake ssoftens and sslows your fiery self into appreciating life less as an adventure, more as a blessing. But Snake yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s group involvements need constant monitoring to avoid making enemies, so slither carefully, glide warily and be aware of snakes in the grass.

F TAURUS: Taurans thrive in a methodical environment of orderly routines calculated to shield you from the messy business of growth and change. The Snake year brings healing of the physical body through release of the past â&#x20AC;&#x201C; shedding skins to the sleek new improved version of your original design.

G GEMINI:Get ready for this year to transform you from inside out. Geminiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dark and light sides, devil and angel, will both need to work together. When old wounds surface, take private hibernation time to sit with them, observing and moving through emotions to new depths and intensity.

H CANCER: Snakes like feeling secure and protected â&#x20AC;&#x201C; sound like someone you know? The savvy serpent year highlights stories you use to keep things safe and the same. Its challenge? Loving the constantly changing nature of reality. Your mantra? I have all I need to do what I must.

I LEO: The Snake year quietly asks the big questions:

taboo during a Snake year â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including taking Are you living up to your full potential? Making meaningful contributions to your community? reckless chances on romance, finance or any other Expressing yourself creatively? It challenges you circumstance. This year shifts Sagittarian focus from to build something of lasting value, and the more greener pastures home to your own heart, and each people benefit from your efforts the greater your time you take a snaky slide, it offers a helping ladder. personal rewards.

N CAPRICORN: The year of the cautious, purposeful, J VIRGO: Like a snake keeps its belly to the ground, shrewd Snake seems tailored for Capricorns, allowing Virgos should trust gut hunches from the snakeyou to move forward at a steady, structured pace brain this year, even when they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make sense. As because of all that foundational groundwork youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve mindsets, friends, familiar situations change, watch laid. Though like everyone else youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be squeezed who stays and what goes. Try to think this and that, through the transformational wringer into the latest rather than either/or. version of uber-Capricornâ&#x20AC;Ś K LIBRA: Snake year favours the arts, and is reputedly O AQUARIUS: The Snake year horoscope forces you good for grants. Also, rather than distracting yourself through the portals of change, so expect challenges with vino and cappuccino, for really learning to love to the ways you operate, plus having your perceptions the Libra in the mirror â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not in a vain way, but truly questioned, redefined and refined. Cool-blooded and deeply so you make wise decisions on your own snakes are loners, but Aquarians who can nourish behalf. others are the ones destined to prosper this year.

L SCORPIO: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s said a Snake year makes people intense, demanding, passionate.

Quick Clues

the Great Barrier Reef, and living close to Julian Rocks at Byron Bay, all together began to set a new challenge for the painter: How to respond to this newly discovered underwater world? Back in the studio she wondered how to express the experience of the reefs.

And so this series was born, marking a change of direction from earlier paintings of weather, raindrops, and rockpools.

In this new series, there are renditions of intricate reef habitats and their interconnected inhabitants. The paintings are playful and thought provoking at the same time, bringing to our attention the delicacy and fragility of these beautiful life forms. 4pm.

BOOK REVIEWS Gorilla Food

By Aaron Ash Review by Kathryn Lester

There’s a revolution going on, a new wave of food consciousness that’s clearing out the cobwebs. We are changing the way we eat and prepare food, and it’s a good thing. I am all for vibrant, alive, raw and vegan food choices, putting something into the body that nourishes and heals. For anyone who is inspired or interested to bring a little of this food magic into their own lives and homes, let this book be your guide.

Gorilla Food is a sweet, easy-to-use recipe book for ‘living and eating organic, vegan and raw’. Aaron Ash shares recipes from his bountiful raw cafe in Vancouver, Canada.

We’re talking: olive and ‘love’ veggie fresh wraps, orange essence truffles, coconut cream pie, sunny garlic ‘cheez’, pesto pizza, dark chocolate and avocado ice cream… all free from dairy, sugar, refined flours.

There’s info on juicing, smoothie-ing, sprouting, cultured foods and how to fill your pantry with life-supporting ingredients. This is a fun, colourful, joyous manual for anyone wanting to get a bit inspired in their kitchen.

Head to the farmers markets, pick up some beautiful fresh produce, go home, put on some music, make

www.echo.net.au

something that will blow your mind and tastebuds and share the love with your friends.

My housemate made a pesto dip from this book that was hands down the best pesto I have ever tasted; the apple cake is out of this world; I could go on and on. The pages overflow with Ash’s own brand of quirkiness and uplifting life philosophy; he seems like a really down-to-earth, community-minded, open-hearted guy. All the qualities we like around here, right? Plus, he had a dream and made it come true.

That in itself is worthy of celebration.

Raw food is mostly super simple, far simpler than how you already cook. That’s the great thing about it; you don’t need special skills, just imagination and a willingness to experiment. Ask around, there’s a whole world of new discoveries and food possibilities out there, people pushing the boundaries and it’s very, very exciting.

Scar Tissue

By Anthony Kiedis with Larry Sloman Review by Lauren Pagano

A song, a book, a man, a life. Scar Tissue is a book about Anthony Kiedis and his journey though life. The book also shares all of the The Red Hot Chili Peppers’ adventures. The book Scar Tissue was written by Anthony Kiedis himself. This book tells about the adventures of a guy living his life, with tons of obstacles including hardcore drugs.

THREE CORNERED SQUARE

LOCAL PRODIGY THREE CORNERED SQUARE HAVE BURST ONTO THE LOCAL MUSIC SCENE WITH THICK SOUNDS, MOODY RIFFS AND DRAMATIC VOCALS. THE JOURNEY HAS JUST BEGUN.

How would you describe your sound? We have a big landscapey kind of sound that’s quite dark and moody and takes you on a journey, with influences of blues and acid rock.

What do you each bring to the table in terms of musical tastes? Marc (Labonte – guitar) and Mole (Matthew Sheaffe – drums) played together in the former local band The Last. Marc likes Led Zeppelin, Cream, Tool and the Doors and has played in bands in Canada and Australia since he started playing 12 years ago. Mole likes Jefferson Airplane and The Beatles and has been playing drums for 5 years. Josh (Blackburn – bass), likes New Zealand dub and funk, anything with a sexy groove and influences from motown.

Cacey (Blackburn – vocals) is jazz trained and loves finding beautiful intervals between notes.

Her influences are Bjork, Fiona Apple, PJHarvey and Tori Amos. Cacey also plays the Theremin.

Along with your originals, you also do a pretty special version of Pink Floyd’s The Wall, making it distinctly your own. How hard is it to go beyond people’s expectations of how the song can sound? We found it easy because we were playing a song from a band we love. We were just jamming the song for fun and it just evolved on its own. It was unplanned.

Where do you find inspiration creatively?

Life! Our inspiration comes from many places, and from listening to bands we love. Sometimes it’s totally spontaneous and comes up as we’re jamming and songs basically write themselves.

A lot of our songs have a very specific visual component that goes with it, that we can see in our minds. We are also inspired by relationships and life experiences. We bounce off each

other really well and have great respect and appreciation for each other as musicians and people. If we weren’t in a band, we’d all be friends anyway and we encourage each other musically a lot to expand and grow.

TCS seem to be reinvigorating oldschool instrumentals and lead breaks. Is that a conscious thing or does it happen organically? Both. A lot of the lead breaks are rarely played the same way twice but the songs have a loose structure that we follow.

What is next for TCS? We will be recording an EP very soon which we are really excited about.

Other than that, writing more songs which we love doing and organising a tour for our EP. What can we expect at your show on Thursday? We are very lucky to have super talented local band A Little Province supporting us and we both have a pretty loud sound so it will be a big night of great live music. Plus we’ll bring out the Theramin, which will be a treat as it is an unusual instrument to say the least! We like to put thought and energy into our stage presentation so it conveys our musical style.

Thursday at the Beach Hotel from 9pm.

Supported by A Little Province. Free entry.

Anthony Kiedis was raised in the 60s and 70s by a drug-addicted father who introduced Anthony to drugs at a preteen age.

Living in California his whole life, at the time, still has effect on Anthony’s way of living to this day. Anthony was a radical the minute he was born. He hated authority, and authority hated him. When Kiedis entered school (kindergarten) his teachers would look down upon him with disgust. In between his years of school, he tried heroin, coke, meth, everything. During middle school he had sex with his dad’s girlfriend.

Anthony didn’t really discover a musical interest until after high school. When they started The Red Hot Chili Peppers it was basically just a side job. Things progressed rapidly, as did his use of drugs. After having many girlfriends, Anthony found a girl who was just like him, and this is why the drugs progressed. They would stay up day and night shooting up constantly. All their money was spent.

Now The Red Hot Chili Peppers are it.

After all they went through, including losing band members, they are now a nationwide-known band.

I enjoyed every second. I have a past family history of hardcore drugs and it was interesting to see that someone else’s is somewhat like mine and knows what I go through. The quote that stood out the most was ‘Why is

something I thought would last forever already gone’. It’s now something I think of every day and I appreciated life more. He went through so much yet he’s come so far. I would have to say I agree with what Anthony does.

Although drugs, sex, and rock’n’roll are often frowned upon, I find it very interesting. I do feel, though, like Anthony should’ve explained some of his high and the emotional concept he had behind them.

The book was well written, and very touching. I recommend it to anyone who wants an amusing/heartfelt story.

Gone Girl

By Gillian Flynn Review by Mark Frauenfelder

This twisted psychological suspense novel had me from the first page and I read it every spare moment I had until I finished it. It begins with Nick’s description of his morning on his fifth wedding anniversary. Nick and Amy were once bon vivant magazine writers in New York, but the print media implosion put an end to their fun life, and for a variety of reasons they end up in Carthage, Missouri, with Nick running a dive bar (using the remainder of Amy’s recently obliterated trust fund) with his sister Margo. Amy disappears from their house, leaving behind signs of a struggle. The police, and TV viewers around the country suspect Nick of it.

The second chapter is from Amy’s

diary of seven years before her disappearance, in which she giddily describes meeting the handsome and funny Nick at a party in Brooklyn.

The chapters alternate between Nick’s account of his life after Amy’s disappearance, and Amy’s diary entries leading up to the event. We see a happy relationship deteriorate over time. We also see signs of psychopathy and deceit creeping in as the story unfolds. Since this is a suspense novel, things aren’t necessarily what they seem (or are they?) and there are major twists and surprises along the way.

Even as a straight-ahead thriller, Gillian Flynn’s novel succeeds with a tight plot that’s rich but easy to follow. What made it extra enjoyable for me is Flynn’s dark sense of humour, insight into relationships, cultural observations, and developed characters; messed up as they are, they are believable, unpredictable (even to themselves) and complex, and that’s what keeps things interesting.

I’ve read other reviews of Gone Girl in which readers have complained that Amy and Nick are too unlikable to care about. I disagree. I care about them the same way I care about Breaking Bad’s Walter White, Mad Men’s Don Draper, and Tony Soprano: pathologically manipulative jerks who reveal a shred of humanity often enough that you can relate to them, especially since we all have some element of a dark side in us.

30 February 5, 2013 The Byron Shire Echo

Django Unchained Quentin Tarantino is a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (Paul Byrnes in the Sydney Morning Herald). So is Francis Bacon, whose retrospective is attracting bumper crowds to the AGNSW â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cross the road to be surrounded by his ghastly paintings. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all a matter of taste.

Tarantinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hyperbolic referencing of spaghetti westerns (the title alludes to Sergio Corbucciâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1966 Django), TV cowboys, B-grade movies, martial-arts flicks, etc is what sets him apart but, no matter how earnestly done, is it a virtue in itself? His faction would emphatically answer yes, but for mine this over-stylised approach is so ceaselessly jokey that it undermines the serious intent of the story. It also unfailingly results in a tone of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;too cool for schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; which, irritating though it might be to some (eg me), is a perfect fit for a bourgeois white audience that so wants to be seen as not part of the prevailing orthodoxy, the desperate rebels without a cause.

The subject here is slavery in the US and, if Inglorious Basterds was a fantastical revenge on Nazism, so this can be seen as a similar get-square with that hideous episode in Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history. It is a terrific Western, with caricatures beautifully drawn by Jamie Foxx, Leonardo DiCaprio, Christoph Waltz and Samuel L Jackson, who is especially good as Stephen, an Uncle Tom more malevolent than Harriet Beecher Stowe could possibly have envisaged.

Catering to attention spans annihilated by Facebook and Twitter, there are numerous insertions of pop music, all meant to spell out the point being made, but they also tend to make the whole feel like it is an accumulation of

YouTube clips.

Predictably, a juvenile preoccupation with lurid gun violence prevails â&#x20AC;&#x201C; perhaps we might next get a tonguein-cheek Anders Breivik, or a laugh-a-minute Newtown, Connecticut? As the man/boy of mainstream bromances who is derided for never growingup, or simply the iconoclastsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; icon (oh, bitter irony), Tarantino has made an excellent film â&#x20AC;&#x201C; clever, if immodestly so, rambunctious and brilliantly executed. I just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like it very much. ~ John Campbell

soppy romance, as CIA agent Maya (Jessica Chastain) leaves no stone unturned in seeking bin Ladenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s whereabouts.

Day on waves, but local filmmaker Stephen Jonesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s little gem is not just another surfing movie. Appropriately described as a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;visual tone poemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, the doco explores the inextricable connection between the ocean and the people and culture of Chile. Following the journey of Byron Bay pro Dave Rastovich (and also including current World Champ Joel Parkinson), the camerawork of Hawaiian Dave Homcy is exceptional and, highlighted by an exquisite adaptation of poet Pablo Nerudaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Farewell, the accompanying soundtrack is original and intoxicating. This is a rare treat for anybody who has ever set foot in the great Pacific. Catch it on Thursday at 7 pm. ~ John Campbell

The Byron Shire Echo February 5, 2013 31

Television Guide It must be rating season again, as the Sunday line-up includes a few good films (Ten: Dan in Real Life, 7Mate: Get Him to the Greek, Go: Ronin) and the commercial stationsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; schedules are peppered with TBAs as each tries to steal a few points from the others by concealing their hands till the last minute â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and stuff the viewers.

1. The gigacephaloid Helena Bonham-Carter is splendid (along with co-star Johnny Depp) in the visually gorgeous Alice in Wonderland (Prime, Saturday 6.30pm).

2. Tina Fey, creator of 30Rock (which Channel 7 has never shown at a civilised hour in Australia), was given the wrong steer when she accepted a role in Baby Mamma (7Two, Sunday, 6.30pm), a flattish comedy in which she is upstaged

by Amy Poehler (Parks and Recreation, ditto).

Corn pancakes, corn fritters, corn cakes, sweet corn fritters: none of the cookery writers or recipes I have frequented over the decades seem to agree on one name. Nor does there appear to be one defining method as to how they should be made â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as is the nature of recipes, variations may be many and minuscule.

I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care what they were called the other weekend when it seemed there were so many reasons to whip up a batch. The chief one was the seasonal one: sweet corn from now until early autumn is at its best. I had invited a friend for drinks that same evening and figured that my corn cakes could therefore be made in two sizes, large for breakfast and smaller for canapĂŠs.

The poached eggs spilled out their golden yolks on to the wilted spinach I draped on our breakfast corn cakes and formed a luscious little sauce â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but it was the tiny explosion of nutty sweetness from the corn in the corn cakes that was the best part. In the evening I smeared a little labna â&#x20AC;&#x201C; cream cheese would have done just as well â&#x20AC;&#x201C; over the smaller versions and curled smoked salmon on top for gorgeous mouthfuls wherein, once more, that explosion of corn was the coup de grace. Extra sweetness was owed to the finely diced red capsicum I had folded through the batter.

I suspect that corny burst would not have transpired had I cooked the corn kernels first, as many recipes suggest. Raw, freshly sheared with a sharp knife from a cob whose whispery husks and filmy lace-like â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;silkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; I had previously removed, they were stirred through milk and eggs and flour and baking powder and the cubes of half a red

capsicum I had unearthed in my refrigerator, then seasoned with salt and sugar and paprika.

The burgeoning basil outside my front door had to be involved, so I shredded lots of that too, ending up with a lovely chunky pancake batter I then dolloped into my non-stick frypan.

Such versatile things, however you wish to name them. Apart from breakfast and drinksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; accompaniments they do wonderfully for a simple vegetarian lunch, this time dressed up with a chunky avocado salsa â&#x20AC;&#x201C; lime, chilli, coriander, garlic, cumin. Add seared king prawns for extra luxe. Or offer up a Thai version, folding a pounded-up paste of coriander roots and garlic into the mix â&#x20AC;&#x201C; forget the paprika and the capsicum â&#x20AC;&#x201C; alongside a sweet chilli sauce and lots of lime wedges.

Or accompany fried chicken Marylands with them for a traditional southern US family meal. Here is my recipe.

CORN CAKES Shear the kernels from two fresh corn cobs. Finely dice half a red capsicum and finely slice about 10 basil leaves. Combine 150ml milk, 150ml sifted plain flour, two eggs, one tsp paprika, one tsp baking powder, one tsp sugar and chopped basil and season with salt and pepper. Stir through corn kernels and capsicum cubes. Heat oil in non-stick frypan and dollop in the batter as large or as small as you want your final cakes to be. Fry until golden, both sides.

If you make too many, they freeze superbly!

Australia coy in report on heritage status of Great Barrier Reef This is very significant because these developments are arguably the most damaging of the proposed expansions due to their location in largely undeveloped or near-pristine areas.

Chris McGrath

A

ustralia has delivered an updated report on the state of conservation in the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) that tiptoes around the politically charged issue of constraining major port expansions on the Queensland coast.

The report was required as a step in an ongoing international review of Australia’s management of the GBR. The review is not considering removing the GBR from the World Heritage List.

The question the review is asking is whether the GBR should be placed on the List of World Heritage in Danger. Entry on that list is an alarm bell warning of immediate threats to a World Heritage property.

Development for coal and LNG exports The reason alarm bells are ringing for the GBR is principally the scale and rapid pace of coastal development and shipping for coal and liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports.

There are massive expansions of already major ports adjacent to the GBR currently planned or underway at Gladstone, Dalrymple Bay/Hay Point, and Abbot Point.

Major new coal export terminals are also proposed north of Gladstone at the mouth of the Fitzroy River, the Fitzroy Terminal Project and the Balaclava Island Coal Export Terminal.

In addition a new coal terminal known as the Wongai Project is proposed 320km north of Cairns in a near-pristine area.

In early 2012 an international mission from the UNESCO BOUTIQUE ACCOM FOR DOGS Home away from home, Byron Shire, safe nurturing environment, lots of exercise and 2 mins to doggy beach.

Phone 66859963 or 0418221637

Australia chooses to hear ‘no’ as ‘maybe’ UNESCO’s warning has done little to turn Australia’s coal development around. Photo Peter Asquith

World Heritage Centre and IUCN visited Australia to assess the state of conservation of the GBR. While the mission recommended that the GBR should not be placed on the List of World Heritage in Danger at this stage, they expressed deep concern that: ‘In the immediate future… it is clear that the scale of coastal development currently being proposed and consented presents a significant risk to the [GBR], and that the scale and pace of development proposals appear beyond the capacity for independent, quality and transparent decision making.’

Review by the World Heritage Committee The World Heritage Committee accepted the mission’s recommendations in mid2012.

It decided not to enter the GBR on the List of World Heritage in Danger at this stage.

It requested Australia report further developments and the results of a strategic assessment for its 2013 and 2015 meetings, when it will review the matter again.

Significantly, as part of its resolution, the Committee re-

quested that Australia: ‘…not permit any new port development or associated infrastructure outside of the existing and long-established major port areas within or adjoining the property…’

This is clearly aimed at the Balaclava Island Coal Export Terminal, the Fitzroy Terminal Project, and the Wongai Project.

It is difficult to see how any approval can be given by Australia of these new major coal ports consistently with the recommendation from the World Heritage Committee.

governments will truly face the politically unpalatable reality of clearly unsustainable climate and energy policies.

Australia has, in effect, a de facto plan to destroy the GBR by mining and exporting all our coal and gas without requiring safe disposal of their emissions as a condition of sale.

When repeated by fossil fuel rich countries around the globe this puts the world on track for a mean global temperature rise of over 4°C. The GBR will be devastated well before we reach those levels.

It is ironic, in a very sad way, that the immediate threats of rapid port expansions to exTalking about the port more coal and LNG comelephant in the room pound the long-term threat from climate change and ocean Australia acknowledges in acidification that the emissions its report the threat posed by from these exports will conclimate change to the GBR and tribute to. puts on a brave face emphasisQ Chris McGrath is a Senior ing its climate policies.

There is no acceptance that Lecturer at University of Australia’s climate policies are Queensland. This article is profoundly inadequate but it sourced from theconversahas become naive to expect tion.edu.au.

Byron Bay hosts major international conference

COMPANION ANIMALS WELFARE INC. This is Kobe, an 8 month old Wolfhound x, currently being fostered by none other than the famous dog expert Martin McKenna! Martin reckons that Kobe has the best personality, relishes living in a family situation, gets along fine with his own pack of rescue dogs and is fantastic with the kids.

The updated status report just delivered by Australia coyly attempts to turn a ‘no’ into a ‘maybe’ in relation to port expansions outside of the existing and long-established major port areas.

Australia states in addressing this recommendation that it ‘understands and appreciates the concern of the Committee’ but applicants have legal rights to have their proposals assessed and the government must continue to respect these rights.

Australia emphasises in the report the high standards of its national environmental laws and the fact that it is currently undertaking a strategic

assessment of all development directly affecting the GBR. There is some merit in these points as some projects are well assessed under Australian law.

For instance, in 2008 a proposed new coal terminal in an undeveloped area adjacent to the GBR was rejected as ‘clearly unacceptable’. That decision survived a heated court challenge.

Yet at the heart of Australia’s response on this issue is a refusal, at least at this stage, to accept the World Heritage Committee’s categorical view that no new ports should be allowed adjacent to the GBR.

Cost of Land, Moving and Government Taxes will Drive Suburban Regeneration Demolishing an ageing home on a large allotment and building two modern townhouses, one to live in and one to sell or rent, can be an option for many Australians, especially retirees looking to capitalise on their investment, Archicentre, the building design, inspection and advice service of The Australian Institute of Architects said today.

An added driving force may be the home-owner’s attachment to the suburb via employment, social and community links such as their local doctor or favourite shopping strip.

Archicentre’s Ian Agnew said, ‘Re-location costs can run into tens of thousands of dollars on even a medium priced home, when you take into account government charges and taxes, stamp duty on the new property, real estate fees and marketing costs, conveyancing and bank fees.’

‘With underground parking becoming popular in such developments, not only are people adding another home to their lot, they are also doubling the useable space, proving flexibility for parking cars and establishing underground facilities with space for storage, home gyms or home theatres.’

Mr Agnew said, ‘Government policies to increase the density of inner and middle-ring suburbs to cope with Australia’s growing population encourage such developments and provide people wanting to maximise the value of their property with a valuable re-development possibility.’

‘Given the spiralling costs of energy and water, knocking over an old home and building a new one also creates the opportunity to design a more sustainable new home to

cut household running costs and maintenance expenses, creating another way of adding long-term value to the property.’

Mr Agnew said that carrying out a successful ‘retirement rebuild’ of two townhouses on one lot requires careful strategic planning, design, budgeting and project management.

‘Home owners should act like developers, who are focused on making a profit, to ensure that their project is feasible before proceeding and have a clear idea of the market value of the finished project, its cost and the potential profit.’

‘It is no good planning to have your old house knocked down until you have a clear idea of what you are going to do, have your plans approved and have an architect and builder appointed.’

‘The timing to demolish and rebuild can also have a major impact on profit as any delay can cost money in rent, storage and disrupt the schedule of rebuilding that can add costs to hiring tradesmen.’

Mr Agnew said, ‘The starting point for anyone considering knocking down and rebuilding is to have a professional assessment of the property and the development of a concept plan to ensure it complies with all relevant building and development controls.’

‘With any re-build the design, its feasibility and satisfying the owner’s lifestyle requirements are the three major through the options to ensure a project is feasible to pillars of success.’ construct and delivers lifestyle living requirements for the Archicentre, through its design concept service, provides owners. property owners with a cost-effective way of working The process enables the owners to work through the project with an Archicentre Accredited Architect and assess the options before proceeding with detailed plans.

The Byron Shire Echo February 5, 2013 55

Backlash The digital archive of the weekly Byron Shire Echo was unavailable for a day last week after the site was attacked. We fixed that but then someone in the firm that manages our daily news email pressed the wrong button, sending a welcome email intended for 200 new people to 20,000 existing subscribers.

Sorry about that; we have suggested he is made to hand write an apology to everyone using a quill. The hackersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; desire for pointless destruction could surely be channelled into screwing with government sites.

bathroom and kitchen windows of the house and destroyed a washing machine. A 66-yearold woman said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d sprayed a spider on her washing machine with insecticide. When it ran under the machine she sprayed it again and fire investigators believe the engine ignited the spray, triggering the explosion.

The woman was treated by paramedics at the scene after sustaining singed hair and blurred vision. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lesson here: spiders are useful creatures and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deserve the painful death of insecticide spray.

The emails you have been getting recently with subject lines like Hi, Hey, Hello, Re etc will typically contain nothing but a hyperlink. Even though such emails apparently come from friends, by no means should you click on the link, or your computer will be infected like theirs. Internet scum have been very successful with this phishing scheme, as was the Chinese government in hacking the New York Times recently after that newspaper printed the financial dealings of its corrupt leadership.

The Mullumbimby CSG Lock the Gate Survey nears completion. Any residents missed out may call 6684 3723 to be surveyed, the question being: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Do you want your road/land gasfield free?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Yes, no or not sure.

The KFC controversy continues, with two letters in favour of the development being squeezed out this week (a lot of other letters also missed out).

Still on scams, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a warning doing the rounds that people are being called and invited to ring numbers with a 809, 284 or 876 prefix to win prizes. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no such thing as a free lunch, so it turns out the numbers are from the Dominican Republic and are charged at $2425 a minute. When you get the bill your telco will not necessarily side with you as they may be legally obliged to pay the overseas company responsible. Of course the whole thing could be a PR stunt by Telstra designed to show how trustworthy they are by comparison.

In the leather armchairs of the club room of the Australian Monarchist League there is discontent. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Damn their eyes,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; cries one monocled gent, dashing his newspaper to the floor, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The media incorrectly refer to the prime ministerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s partner, Tim Matheson, as â&#x20AC;&#x153;The First Blokeâ&#x20AC;?.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Another member spills his port. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bounders!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he exclaims.

It is left to the National Chair, Philip Benwell, to elucidate. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;According to Special Gazette No. S206 (October 5,1982), the first person in the land, apart from The Queen, is the Governor-General, whose husband, Michael Bryce, is accorded the honorific of â&#x20AC;&#x153;His Excellencyâ&#x20AC;?.

Accordingly, Mr Matheson is not the â&#x20AC;&#x153;First Blokeâ&#x20AC;? and it is totally wrong to refer to him as such.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Glad to clear that up.

Tracie Crockford of Mullumbimby sent us this picture and explains, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;On Thursday a helicopter landed mysteriously on the Pine Avenue soccer fields. Many curious residents wandered up (under the guise of taking our kids to the playground!) to see why. Turns out it was the flood survey helicopter from Newcastle stopping in to drop off the deputy commissioner of the SES for a meeting with the local SES crew. The pilots had to wait around for their passenger to return so the local kids kept them occupied with questions about the helicopter, which they fielded with good spirit and humour, quipping that they were looking for a game of soccer. We got to see inside it and feel the winds of the takeoff. Very exciting!â&#x20AC;&#x2122;
