A controversial development application (DA) for a block of five flats at 27–29 Station Street, Mullumbimby, will be decided at this Thursday’s Council meeting. It’s come under fire from residents who are outraged and puzzled that Byron Council planners have recommended it be allowed, after the developer made some minor amendments to address bulk, scale and privacy. More than 320 people have signed a petition in protest against the plan. In September last year councillors, at their first meeting after being elected, rejected the staff ’s recommended refusal and instead voted to allow them to negotiate with the developer to address those issues. Originally, the staff report on the plan was scathing of the design quality of the proposal, saying it has ‘a single wall plane extending a length of 42.5 metres, which is bulky and austere in appearance’, and a height of almost nine metres. Planners at the time said the views from each of the elevated balconies looked straight down into neighbours’ homes and yards, which amounted to

‘a severe loss of privacy’ for neighbours. But in his recent report, chief planner Ray Darney says that while the revised design was ‘still bulky in appearance’ and of a ‘comparatively larger scale’ than close residential developments, he claimed the privacy issue had now been addressed by the developer introducing ‘privacy screens’ along the length of the northern side of the balconies. Additionally the front unit has been reduced in size to a one bedroom apartment.

Heritage ignored Residents say it’s still far too bulky in appearance and larger in scale than surrounding houses, does not respect the heritage of the town, is totally unsympathetic to the streetscape and is inconsistent with a number of planning policies. Immediate neighbour Simone Ormsby fears approval of the block of flats will set a precedent and that ‘this style of housing may pop up all over Mullumbimby, or perhaps the entire Byron Shire, potentially adjacent to lovely heritage or older-style houses, spoiling the appeal and charm of this great town and wonderful shire’.

CSG Free meeting snaps into action Despite tighter state regulations on the industry, Byron presses ahead to declare itself CSG free Hans Lovejoy

Momentum is still building against the coal seam gas (CSG) mining industry in the region despite last week’s announcement by the state government that CSG mining will now be banned within a two-kilometre radius of residential areas. Around 700 attended Saturday’s CSG Free meeting at the Byron Regional Sport and Cultural Complex in Ewingsdale, and unanimously voted to establish a survey team for the Shire’s streets, which will ask residents

if they want their region CSG free. While the government’s exclusion zone – which also includes horse stud farms and wineries – is a considerable concession, north coast federal ALP MPs and activists say they won’t be backing down until the entire region is free of CSG activity. Byron CSG Free co-ordinator Rosie Lee said of the new zonings, ‘Too bad if you live in a rural area, are a dairy or cattle farmer in Kyogle, or soy bean grower in Casino or an organic farmer in Mullumbimby.’ But local state Nationals MP Don

Page told The Echo that ‘The exclusion of all residential and future residential zones is a good outcome, as is the review or audit of all CSG activity in NSW. Having the EPA as the independent regulator is also a positive outcome.’ Mr Page said that the new CSG measures were ‘very much the result of pressure from the Nationals’, who are part of the Liberal/National coalition government. When asked if the Nationals had further plans to curb the CSG industry, he said, ‘I think there could be other initiatives in future.’ Resident Suzie Mylecharane, who

One more in a series of wild storms caused havoc not only on our frail roads last week, but saw 156 calls within the Byron Shire to the local SES from Thursday through to Sunday, with fallen trees being the major factor. Incident controller for the northern rivers, Tony Casey, told The Echo that 26 residents suffered roof damage and 12 residences were in danger from flood waters. And the cost to date is about $1.1 million, says Council’s executive manager of community infrastructure, Phil Holloway.

Uki’s two storey heritage listed Mt Warning Hotel went up in flames on Saturday night. And while the cause is still not known, insurance assessors and fire investigators have already been onsite. The outside walls and frame of the building remain standing, but look likely to be demolished. Its rich history goes back to the old cedargetting

top of the dune escarpment down to the beach. Upper Coopers Creek Road is still closed to motor vehicles and pedestrians, but at this stage there are still only a few trees for the SES to clean up. Mr Casey said that one of the

biggest problems is people who are still ignorant to the danger of floodwater and who put not only themselves but their families at risk entering floodwater in a vehicle. ‘They risk own lives and potentially the family’s lives and it is just plain stupidity’. NSW minister for police and emergency services, Michael Gallacher, has extended a Natural Disaster Declaration to the local government areas including Ballina, Byron, Lismore, Richmond Valley, Clarence Valley and Tweed Shire. The declaration makes a number of supportive schemes available to assist with the cost of restoration and recovery under the Commonwealth Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements and the NSW Disaster Assistance Arrangements. Anyone needing help from the SES should contact their local unit on 132 500.

Clean Up Australia Day activities

Byron Bay Eco Cruises and Kayaks, along with Byron’s chamber of commerce, will be out for this year’s annual Clean Up Australia Day on Sunday March 3. Volunteers are welcome to join the kayaks and a river boat which will collect rubbish up the Brunswick River. It will run from 8 to 10am. Phone 0410 Q See the video of this story at 016 926 for more.

members will be out scrubbing graffiti, removing stickers, weeding gardens, painting bins and collecting street litter in the CBD. Byron’s Mitre 10 has donated graffiti remover and scrapers, and the Byronian CafÊ will keep volunteers pepped up with coffee. Byron United are encouraging all businesses to clean up their shopfronts and surrounding area.

Year 11 student Ngurun eyes parliament Youth Council’, says Ms Barham. ‘At a local level, Youth Council has been really important as it gives young people the opportunity to engage with democratic processes and be empowered by it. Watching Ngurun in that process was really inspiring and when this came up, I thought he was the perfect person to put forward. ‘Also, because of the role of the Arakwal in this area.

Byron Bay High School principal Peter King is pleased as punch about having a state MP under his care. As part of the YMCA New South Wales Youth Parliament program, year 11 student Ngurungaeta Brown will represent the area in Sydney later this year. Ngurun said he felt honoured and a bit nervous because he didn’t know what to expect. ‘There’s a lot of training,’ he says, ‘which is quite rigorous.’ Nevertheless, Mr King says he’s very proud of Ngurun, who has been a student who represented the school, ‘from the very first day’. ‘He’s a proud Arakwal man and he has grown into a fine young ambassador for our school. He is one of the key voices in our school because he is such a great listener and also

cerns of youth are heard by those who have the power to make laws. Each member of the Legislative Council is asked to choose a young person to take a place in the parliament and Jan Barham MLC asked Ngurun to represent the area. ‘I’ve see Ngurun involved in

‘There is a need for younger people to step up into those roles of leadership and Ngurun has already proven that he is capable, and willing to do that.’ The YMCA partially sponsor this project, and the Byron Shire Council is also giving support, but there are still costs to be met and the opportunity is there for members of the community to help out financially.

Council aims to tackle Byron’s Council loans may help social issues with state grant with infrastructure Hans Lovejoy

A crime prevention grant application being prepared by Council is set to be submitted by early March and aims to address Byron’s social problems. Entitled ‘Safer Community Compact’ and available at Council’s website, its stated objectives are to ‘reduce the incidence of assault (non-domestic violence), specifically alcoholrelated; reduce the incidence of

other theft and to increase community perceptions of safety. Byron Shire’s Council’s acting executive manager of society and culture, Greg Ironfield, told The Echo, ‘Staff are in discussion with key community stakeholders on projects to be submitted from the Safer Community Compact. ‘If successful, the grant funding will target the reduction of alcohol-related non-domestic violence,’ he said.

Pub caught serving minors A Byron Bay hotel has been issued infringements for multiple alleged cases of underage drinking during Schoolies Week last year. Police have issued the as yet unnamed pub with fines totalling $13,750 following an investigation into two separate underage incidents. Acting inspector Saul Wiseman told The Echo that the pub

cannot be named, ‘until the matter is at court or they pay the fine and the matter is finalised.’ On November 29, 2012, police say they found a minor inside the venue and on the following day, at the same premises, they spotted another underage youth drinking alcohol. Police allege that on both occasions there was no security officer at the entrance to the hotel.

A Local Government Infrastructure Renewal Scheme (LGIRS) may be on the table in a around month, which could assist in boosting Byron Shire’s ailing amenities. Minister for local government and Ballina MP Don Page told The Echo, ‘It provides councils with an interest subsidy of four per cent (round one) and three per cent (round two) over ten years for loans to address their infrastructure backlog.’ Mr Page added that Byron Council as yet have not applied for the loan; however, mayor Simon Richardson told The Echo that Council didn’t apply for it previously because the then general manager and staff advised against it. ‘For this loan, you need to show that Council’s debt is within a certain range,’ he said, ‘It’s like getting a bank loan. When

we find out whether we’re eligible, I am open to it.’ Meanwhile, Greens MLC and former mayor Jan Barham told The Echo she is pushing for a parliamentary inquiry that would examine visitor loads on small towns reliant on tourism. The ‘Tourism Impacts Inquiry’ aims to report on the value and impacts of tourism on local communities. For example, it would examine: The value of tourism to NSW and return on investment of government grants and funds; the impacts of tourism on local government areas; the difficulties in calculating tourism capacity to inform infrastructure and service provision and management; unapproved and unregulated tourism and employment opportunities for local and non locals. She added she is close to getting the support needed for the inquiry to be tabled.

A sea journey of discovery and activism I left Brunswick in July 2012 with an aim to sail to the solar eclipse in Cairns and do port shows, actions, media, filming, live streaming, social networking and connect with marine conservation groups, whales and marine life along the way. First stop SeaWorld. I anchored Migaloo 2 next to SeaWorld, met with the Gold Coast Sea Shepherd group and projected The Cove onto the sails of Migaloo 2. It’s a movie about the slaughter and capture of wild dolphins in Japan. The next day a baby humpback whale was caught in shark nets right out front on the Gold Coast. It was cut loose by SeaWorld yet died soon after. SeaWorld declined to come to the screening and refused to condemn the shark nets or other SeaWorld companies for using wild captured cetaceans.

Hervey Bay But we are determined to raise awareness on this issue and met with some Noosa crew and organised a protest/ ceremony next to the shark nets at Noosa for all the deaths these nets cause. Next was my old stomping ground of Hervey Bay, where I’ve been playing with, filming and listening to whales over the last eight years. The Kimberley mob that are defending their land and sea against a huge gas development at James Price Point in WA – which is also a whale nursery – organised a smoking ceremony at the same time around the world, asking for respect and to bring awareness to the issue. I invited representatives of the local Butchala people and their kids onto Migaloo 2 to do the ceremony. Elders and

Gladstone CSG hub Captain Dean Jefferys has just returned from sailing up the east coast on Migaloo 2 with his marine conservation campaign, ‘Sailing the Winds of Change 2012 and Beyond’. Jefferys says, ‘Migaloo 2 is a 45 foot fibreglass ketch bought three years ago by Ray Thorpe, the founder of the Happy Herb Company, with the plan that it be used for raising awareness on marine conservation issues.’

kids sang and played didgeridoo and did ceremony, and the whales came and joined in solidarity. Some of the kids had never seen a whale before and were deeply touched. Interaction and connection this year with the whales was absolutely astounding. One glassy sunset saw two young humpback whales circle Migaloo 2 for almost an hour rolling belly up, hoping to look at us, eye to eye, and I’m sure one repeated back to me ‘I love you’ through his blow hole.

Cairns eclipse The time came to do some solo sailing in Migaloo 2, which I reluctantly embraced. Without an auto pilot and unable to leave the wheel for more than 15 seconds I had to get everything ready at the beginning of the day, which often included 10 hours (and once 25 hours) of non stop sailing in often rough conditions. Ten days later, when Ray Thorpe offered me a ride overland to the eclipse, I surren-

dered to not sailing to Cairns and left Migaloo 2 tied up securely in the Whitsundays. Witnessing the total eclipse of the sun by the moon was an experience like no other. My heart was blown wide open again in sheer awe. How magnificent to feel clearly our place on this Earth and our relationship with other main players in this amazing solar system. It was surely nature in her grandest expression.

Outer Barrier Reef Returning to Migaloo 2, I explored the beauty of the Witsundays and the Outer Barrier Reef. Anchoring 60 miles from the mainland and without any land in sight we dropped anchor in what appeared to be pristine outer Barrier Reef with abundant fish life. I sailed solo again to Yeppoon where I met Ginny from KAFTA, who is preventing coal export terminal development in the Fitzroy River delta. Ginny told me how the dredging of 10 million out of the proposed 40

I sailed into Gladstone Harbour and was shocked at the level of construction going on on Curtis Island – it is planned to be a huge CSG hub and coal port extension. I was also stunned to witness a huge dredging cargo ship dump its toxic load five miles out to sea, less than 30 miles from the Great Barrier Reef and 50 miles from Lady Musgrave Island where we swam with manta rays and turtles. As I was approaching the Brunswick Bar on my return I thought: what would be the main message I would take home from this amazing journey? What can I and other people do? Sit, swim, or walk quietly within nature, become inspired and empowered, act‌ When you feel a pull in your guts and when you do act, act from a place of seeing it restored to balance and not from fear of its destruction. Visualise and believe in the desired result, take personal responsibility for what you eat, consume less, live lightly, be the change you want to see and if you love life, don’t cross the Brunswick Bar an hour after king tide. I am currently editing Sailing the Winds of Change that will be screened locally soon. To see video clips of the trip see www.migaloo2.com.

Comedian tells a serious story Mandy Nolan

Pharaoh Vs The Egyptians is the work of Egyptian born Australian comedian, Akmal Saleh. He returned to Egypt six months after the 2011 revolution, when millions of citizens engaged in a campaign of non violent civil resistance against the three decade regime of president Hosni Mubarak. And they won. This is the people’s story. Saleh himself is used to being centre stage, so for his first documentary making adventure he had been intending a more farcical tone with the comedian occupying the screen time. All that changed when he realised the story was far too powerful to interrupt with his plans to ‘make a comedy’. ‘The real people who shine in this film,’ says Saleh, ‘are the people I interviewed. The concept was not arty. It’s a matter of fact telling of the story. The idea of telling my jokes would have been annoying!’ ‘Mubarak was the most brutal of dictators. Anyone who had the opportunity to leave did so quickly. Everyone lived in constant fear. ‘You could be dobbed in if you spoke out against the government. If you were lucky you would get tortured, otherwise you would disappear. Millions of people disappeared.’ ‘There are no statistics,’ says Saleh, whose own family moved to Australia when he was 11. ‘I remember my dad was investigated for going overseas; he brought back a radio that picked up the BBC and he was scared because it was illegal to have contact with the outside world.’ In fact, it was contact with the outside world that sparked the uprising of January 25 or, as it is now known, the Arab Spring. Ironically it was access to the internet, the very thing that immobilises our youth, that activated the youth of Egypt. For the first time in their history, the people were able to share their stories and to gain access to the stories of those suffering under the regime.

‘I was inspired when it happened because it was done by young people who were socially aware,’ says Akmal of his initial interest in telling the story. ‘A lot were arrested and tortured. I don’t have that kind of courage. If there was a risk of being tortured I don’t think I’d get involved in an uprising.’

Wealthy kids who sparked revolution Egypt’s history is rich with all-powerful dictators; except they weren’t called dictators, they were called Pharaohs. It’s an observation not lost on Saleh. ‘I touch on the Pharaoh story in the beginning – they ruled without question. They called Mubarack Egypt’s last Pharaoh. ‘It was all about him and his family. He controlled the media, he controlled everything. ‘Ninety per cent of the wealth was owned by two to three per cent of the population. They took too much and they were too brutal, and people had enough because in the end there was nothing to live for. ‘Ironically it was the wealthier kids, the ones who had computers and access to the internet, that sparked the revolution. ‘It makes it more inspiring because they had more to lose.’ He says the young people he interviewed spoke with a passion that he had never seen. ‘That was very humbling. I was an idiot at 22. I was selfish

and self obsessed.’ ‘The elite do well out of any corrupt regime; they have made millions of dollars from it – as for Egypt now, it’s a new birth – I use the analogy of a newborn baby. The whole place is completely chaotic but it was inevitable. I equate it to the freeing of the slaves. ‘Their lives were worse off for many years because before they were freed, they had a meal and shelter. Once they were freed, no one would deny that it wasn’t a good thing, but there are going to be many years before people’s lives improve and some sort of order is restored. ‘You can’t dismantle a regime like that and have it fixed overnight!’ He says while filming in the country, ‘It was still a chaotic place to navigate, and if you want anything done, you pay bribes.’

Freeing of the slaves Even in Australia, Akmal experienced what the consequences are when speaking out against Mubarack before the revolution. ‘My uncle was vice president of the Australian Arabic Doctors Association and he asked me to do this gig for their association dinner. ‘I said I don’t want to do it – I am not suited for it. I wasn’t confident but they said we need you. “You are the only Middle Eastern performer,” they said. ‘They had a seven piece string quartet and ice sculptures…

MP Page under fire over Landcare axing Local state Nationals MP Don Page has come under pressure over his government’s planned cuts to Landcare. According to state parliament’s Hansard transcript from February 19, independent MP and former Armidale mayor Richard Torbay says support looks likely to be withdrawn after a planned merger with the Livestock, Health and Pest Authority and other authorities. ‘The government’s decision to cut the $30 million Catchment Action NSW program that supports Landcare and other environmental initiawww.echo.net.au

tives from July 1 is difficult to comprehend,’ Mr Torbay said. ‘Not only will it put at risk the $35 million of matching funding provided by the Commonwealth government for natural resource management but it will also decimate the support of many Landcare network volunteers.

Decimate network ‘Landcare, with its 56,000 volunteers across the state, is the green army that has transformed our agricultural and urban landscape over the past 20 years.

He says a Commonwealth government five year contract to provide funds will return to a ‘protracted negotiation phase’ with NSW now unwilling to commit funds. ‘Since 1996 there have been bilateral agreements between the states and the Commonwealth covering natural resource management funding.’ Mr Page replied he had developed a ‘huge respect’ for the work of Landcare workers and added, ‘I am concerned to hear what the member said and will refer the matter to the appropriate minister.’

Bob Carr was in the audience and the ambassador of Egypt was also in the audience. Of course I didn’t know that… ‘I thought I’ll make fun of Mubarak, and the entire audience hushed. It was about 500 people. It was silent, but I kept going. ‘I was saying things like, “When you go to Egypt, you see pictures of him everywhere. “If I was that ugly I wouldn’t portray myself in eight foot pictures.” Then the president of the Australian Arabic Doctors Association stood up and said, “You shouldn’t say that about our president!”

Akmal cops heat ‘I said, “Sit down you idiot, he’s not your president, you didn’t vote for him.” ‘There was not one applause at the end of my show – you could hear my footsteps as I walked off the stage. ‘People were screaming at my face. The next morning I got a call from the Embassy saying we are just advising you not to visit Egypt while Mubarak is in power and then he hangs up. ‘Then my uncle rings, very angry, warning me how they find out these things about you… “If you had said what you had said last night in Egypt,” he said, “you wouldn’t be alive now. They would take you away and shoot you.” ‘I did get a bit paranoid, because a few years before that, there was a doctor in Sydney called Makeen who spoke out and he was machine gunned outside his surgery in Sydney. ‘For the next few weeks, I swear I could hear my phone being tapped. There was an echo – everyone who talked to me mentioned it… then you start seeing the same car following. It was a terrible few weeks.’ But thankfully it didn’t put Akmal off. Akmal Saleh’s documentary feature film, Pharaoh Vs the Egyptians, premieres at the Byron Bay Film Festival on Sunday at 7pm. The filmmakers will be in attendance.

For almost ten years Kirtsy Sked has been regularly travelling to Africa to help the survivors of the vilest of war atrocities – women and children who have been the victim of rape and whose fathers and husbands have been murdered. Her latest mission sees her leave on March 2, and she will spend close to a month in the war-torn country of DRC – the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The second ongoing war, thought to be Africa’s most deadly, began in 1998. Three million lives are estimated to have been lost, either as a direct result of fighting or because of disease and malnutrition. On the bright side, Kirtsy says

she says she has streamlined her trips because she has her routine down pat. ‘I have done it so many times now that I have a bit of a system worked out,’ she told The Echo. ‘We stay with Africans. They are on the ground and I email through the list of what we want; it’s a bit like electronic shopping. I tell them what funds I have and tell them to get ‘X’ amount of digging hoes, a tonne of seed, so many goats and this many pigs and I send them a deposit Kirsty Sked, pictured in the Masisi region of the Congo with and it all gets ordered.

Cabarita club raided by robbers Screenworks’ $50,000 grant Up to five men forced entry to the Cabarita Sports Club on Cabarita Road, Cabarita on Saturday morning, just before 1am, ransacking the club and assaulting two cleaners. Police say one of the victims received 14 stitches after he was struck on the head with a pool cue during the ordeal, and both were tied up. Cash was stolen from the poker machines, and one of

the victims, before the men fled the scene. Police are still conducting inquiries and have seized evidence at the scene. Anyone who witnessed the robbery or any suspicious activity in the vicinity of the Cabarita Road club early Saturday morning is urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or use the Crime Stoppers online reporting page: www1.police.nsw.gov.au.

Over $50,000 in federal funding was recently granted to Northern Rivers Screenworks through the Regional Arts Fund and Screen Australia. The joint announcement was made by federal MPs Janelle Saffin (Page) and Justine Elliot (Richmond) on Tuesday February 19 at Bangalow Heritage Museum to a gathering of screen enthusiasts. Screenworks general manager Jill Moonie

said, ‘We are thrilled that the hard work put into the numerous submissions has been acknowledged through the grants and we would like to thank the NSW and federal governments for their continued support of our work.’ Professional development programs and screen cultural events are now planned throughout the northern rivers region.

Young girls who have been kept as sex slaves for over a year and raped so many times they are now paralysed because of the brutal abuse to their young bodies.

Kirsty now travels with her partner in crime and in love, husband Richard Ford. They pay for their airfares and all of their expenses out of their own pockets, and whatever other money she raises goes to the people she helps. Kirsty plans to expand her

She’s accused north coast federal MPs Justine Elliot and Janelle Saffin of benefiting from pro CSG unions in the upcoming election. ‘The Australian Workers Union announced at its Gold Coast conference last week that it would launch a national campaign to expand the use of coal seam gas,’ senator Nash said. ‘Its leader, Paul Howes, has also announced that he would train and deploy thousands of his members to campaign in marginal Labor seats like Richmond and Page. The AWU needs Saffin and Elliot in parliament so the Gillard government survives and continues to do the union’s bidding, including expanding CSG mining.’ Ms Nash’s comments fail to www.echo.net.au

address, however, the fact that it is her own party at the state level that administers mining in the state. MP Elliot responded with, ‘The fact is the Nationals are just doing the bidding of the CSG mining companies. These Nationals, including Fiona Nash, Matthew Fraser, Geoff Provest, Thomas George and Don Page, all support the National Party’s five point plan to expand CSG

mining on the north coast. ‘This latest media spin by Fiona Nash is trying to divert the public’s attention away from the fact that the Nationals candidate in Richmond, Matthew Fraser, supports harmful CSG mining. In terms of this year’s election, my campaign is open to anyone who wants to help stop the National Party’s CSG expansion plan for the north coast.’

She and her treasurer, Wayne Swan – himself a factional warrior for the AWU – are pretty good at verbal bellicosity; in recent times Swan has invoked the spirit of Bruce Springsteen, derided his opponents as antipodean versions of the American Tea Party, declared war on the banks and lambasted sitting ducks such as Gina Rinehart and Clive Palmer. But to date nothing serious has been

such as the one he termed the ‘double Irish Dutch sandwich’, by which multinationals like Google avoid paying tax in Australia. It was revealed that the big coal power generators had not only passed all or more of the carbon tax on to consumers, but were trousering billions in compensation for their trouble. And of course, those earning more than ninety per cent of their fellow Aus-

As the rich have grown richer, they have also become more arrogant and selfish; they now give proportionately less to charity than the poor… by Mungo MacCallum done to rein in either their depredations or their profits; indeed, their balance sheets show that the government has treated them with a generosity bordering on dissipation. Gillard and Swan talk a good fight, but have been very reluctant to step into the ring. The budget will show whether they are fair dinkum or not, and on the surface at least they might as well throw a few punches, because not only do they have nothing to lose, but they have a story to tell. It has long been accepted that executive pay packets have become quite simply unconscionable; the gap between the top and the bottom, or even the middle, is now quite obscenely wide. And as the rich have grown richer, they have also become more arrogant and selfish; they now give proportionately less to charity than the poor and spend far more time and effort in rorting the system. Last week alone assistant treasurer David Bradbury drew attention to devices

of imperial honours. No one joined with more gusto in the now forgotten third verse of the hymn ‘All things bright and beautiful’: The rich man in his castle The poor man at his gate; Go made them high and lowly And ordered their estate. If ever there was a Bunyip aristocrat, it was Ming, knight of the Ancient Order of the Thistle and Lord Warden of the Cinq Ports. But, false though his premise clearly was, it appealed to the egalitarian streak in Australians, and is now considered unchallengeable. To take it on, Gillard and Swan will have to do more than simply promise the unions a blue collar future; after all, few present day Australians see their own, let alone their children’s, future as a lifetime spent on the assembly lines. And simply shovelling more lower and middle class welfare into the marginals won’t cut it either. Not only is that unaffordable, it doesn’t attack the real problem: the fact that the super rich are now seen to set their own salaries, choose whether or not to pay tax, and cynically ignore their obligations to the rest of the Australian community. If Gillard and Swan want to be taken seriously, they will have to cut down a few tall poppies just for starters. The political backlash will be fierce, but so what? Can things get any worse? And if ‘Eat the rich’ sounds and little too brutal for an election slogan, then how about: ‘Time for a fair go’? Gillard, for one, should be able to relate to that.

tralians continued to insist that they were not rich – well, not really. And if they were, well fair enough. As a letter writer to the Sydney Morning Herald once put it, the reason the rich need more money than the poor is obvious: the rich have greater expenses. But any attempt to introduce a modicum of restraint into this manifestly inequitable system is immediately greeted with loud cries of ‘Class warfare! The politics of envy!’ by those with the money and the power. It is taken as a given that there is no class in Australia, and therefore any attempt at closing the gaps in society is a sinister and wrong-headed attempt to promote not equality, but division. Robert Menzies set the myth in stone back in 1944. ‘We believe,’ pontificated the great man, ‘that the class war is a false war.’ In fact our longest serving Q See Mungo live at prime minister was an unashamed worshipper of England, an assiduous gatherer www.echonetdaily.net.au

After Woolies, Station Street to cop another eyesore? Q In their inexplicable collective wisdom the planning department of Byron Shire Council have recommended consent for DA 10.2012.149.1.This DA is for the residential flat building comprising five very large units in Station Street, Mullumbimby. I strongly urge residents who objected to this DA to attend next week’s council meeting as it is on the agenda and/or lobby your councillors prior to the meeting.

Q

Police assault common?

The assault of Corey Barker by Ballina police officers is an example of an occurrence that is traumatic for the victim and unfortunately all too common. From my personal experience at the hands of police officers from the Tweed-Byron Target Action Group I know just how hard it is to get any recognition of such injustice, let alone protection or recourse from the law. My own experience has shown me that some police officers believe they can throw their weight around and abuse people with impunity. And it’s hardly surprising they have this attitude, when their colleagues and superiors reflexively close ranks to protect them, apparently under the misguided belief that police officers are beyond reproach. There seems to be an assumption that it’s better to falsely accuse and charge an innocent person than admit the police have erred. Such an attitude may help protect the police from accountability, but it does nothing to serve justice and can only undermine public trust in the police and legal system. No doubt the officers involved in the assault of Corey Barker will get a slap on the wrist, but the response from the police force will be the usual negation and denial of systemic problems and the force will remain a safe haven for habitual liars and sadistic thugs.

Fast Buck$’s letter (February 19) on former mayor Barham’s council code of conduct complaint hasn’t used the best ex-

consideration until further discussions were held with the applicant This resulted in an amended application purporting to address issues of bulk, scale and privacy. The application was duly advertised although it appears even the amended scheme was further amended without advertising. Eleven formal submissions to the proposal, and petitions claimed to contain 195 signatures were lodged in objection. I have been told there were actually 329 petition signatures of objection. The report to be considered by Council on February 28 provides good reasons for refusal. These include clearly stated views that the proposal: is still bulky in appearance and larger in scale than surrounding houses; does not respect

the heritage of the town; is totally unsympathetic to the streetscape; and is inconsistent with a number of provisions in DCP 2010, particularly the chapter relating to Mullumbimby. Proximity to Woolworths is offered as an extraordinarily weak reason for ignoring Mulumbimby’s recognised heritage character and built form. And, sadly, there is a distinct possibility the development will be a total commercial failure. Far more intelligent alternatives that would yield a superior financial return and a more sympathetic urban design and built form outcome have not been investigated. In essence the proposal is a cynical attempt to obtain approval for a development that will not be permitted under the new LEP. Council’s officers

ample of the code’s deficiencies. The staff complaint against Barham arose from Barham doing a verbal dummy spit at the staff person facilitating the Australia Day committee, because the Australia Day committee’s community reps picked Ed Ahern for the Citizen of the Year. Barham’s inappropriate objection was that Ahern, despite his charitable work, was president of the Byron United chamber of commerce. The broad community sent in the nominations and the community reps on the Australia Day committee considered the nominations and made the final decision. The staff person had no vote, and no part in influencing the committee’s vote for Ed Ahern. It was completely inappropriate for Barham to attack the staff person, or to object to the committee’s community reps’ democratic decision on the community’s nominations. Barham then, inappropriately, boycotts attending any Australia Day events. She didn’t attend the formal event, didn’t make Council’s annual Australia Day address, and didn’t do the day’s citizenship ceremonies for those who, with their families in attendance, had picked this Australia Day to become Australian citizens. Barham then declared a ridiculous conflict of interest and walked out when the reports of the Australia Day events came to the council meeting. And to top it off, she then, with her cohorts, descended to a veiled attempt at ‘branch stacking’ by bringing a motion to have many more Australia Day events with increased reps on the committee, presumably to dilute the voting influence of the committee. The attempt to intimidate

and constrain our councillors through the code of conduct is an affront to their democratic representation of us. But unfortunately Barham’s actions in regard to the complaint sit very well with the actions of the rest of the undemocratic swill that presently inhabit our state parliament.

The pork perspective

Regarding last week’s article by the human Ms Cosford, in praise of charcuterie, I feel it’s only fair that a piggy perspective (or a fair guess at one) be considered too. Here goes‌ We are good-natured and intelligent beings, as smart, if not smarter, than your dog or cat. We accept that humans like to eat us‌ can’t do much about that craving for charcuterie and pork dishes. As long as we are allowed to have a happy life, while it lasts, we have to accept that this (the chop) is what they keep us for. If, however, we are to be sacrificed for your pleasure at the end, letting us have a life, with grass, mud, sunshine, rain, other pigs and letting us raise our piglets, seems like the very least you can offer us in return. Remembering that we are intelligent animals, can you tell us why humans think they have the right to lock us up in tiny enclosures, fatten us up without letting us have one bit of sunlight, fresh air or enjoyment? Hundreds of thousands of us are kept, year in year out, in indoor enclosures so small we can only move a few inches each side, slopping around in filth, our piglets taken from us, and nothing to do but stand there and listen to the sad grunts and squeals of others like us in other tiny enclosures.

claim little weight should be given to this issue and claim residential flat development will be permitted. This is a matter of opinion. Despite the previous recommendation for refusal, and the negative assessments and tone of this report, approval is now recommended. The question must be asked: why? The proposal, if built, will be a permanent suppurating pimple on the face of our town. And our councillors are now caught between a rock and a hard place. They can reject the proposal and risk the applicant appealing to the Land & Environment Court. Or they could approve the development, risk the ire of over 300 residents and will face a third party court appeal.

Q It would appear that Byron has gone committee crazy. Having already suffered the indifference of the BU attempt on tourism promotion, we now have VIA Byron getting into the act for much of the same, shire wide and now a new round of committees will be formed for the Byron community. It is pretty simple. Byron Shire is on the world map already. There is no need to promote the Shire, it’s already iconic. Shut down the alcohol venues at one o’clock in the morning and ensure all ‘holiday lets’ become legal. The town’s image as a mecca for late night party-goers will diminish quickly worldwide via social media. The youth will go to other towns where they are permitted to drink to the wee

hours, where there are more police to handle the riots, so ours aren’t fighting every weekend shift and where locals don’t need to sleep. There will be less tourist accommodation houses available if there is a moratorium on all holiday lets becoming registered and legal. Numbers will be down for a short time, for sure, however we can plan for our infrastructure to cope again, traffic management can be implemented, residents will be able to sleep and there will be an ever increasing number of new legal holiday accommodation venues being built or converted for the next few years. This in effect will provide jobs, appropriate rate revenue for Council to fix roads, etc and in the end a higher end Byron accommodation option for

tourists that will pour money into all businesses rather than simply the late night fast food outlets and alcohol shops. Rental money, that normally flowed out of the town for nonrated ‘investor houses’ at present will have a better chance of staying in the town. The young ones will return for sure – that’s Byron – but by our community rules not theirs. In this way all the committees can then slow down a little to get it right again and local people can begin to get on again, a word called kindness may reemerge and Byron can return back to normal. What is the rush really? One can find that in our glorious cities. It may be a little slower for the business committees for a short time and some community members may suffer; however, the town

will again have some respect and the committees can have more time to plan. We can keep our Shire unique. It’s a good thing whales don’t have committees as they may choose to swim via Fiji or Bali, like where Aussie tourists seem to be heading these days, missing Byron altogether.

maintenance and renewal. Community members are invited onto such ‘advisory committees’ to help us get down to the nitty-gritty of issues such as this. I hope this committee will get to the bottom of the potholes issue, for example. It won’t be a place to lobby for everything to be repaired or replaced right now. There’s no debate on that – we all want it. It’ll be about detailing how to do the best we can on Shire infrastructure (like roads, bridges, footpaths); to optimise and prioritise; to examine budgets; to get hold of grants; and whatever else we can come up with. If you have skills in public asset management and/or energy to contribute, please apply!

meeting, however, Cr Simon Richardson declared he thought the committee should focus only on Byron Bay. When I spoke to [chairman] Chris Hanley following the meeting, he said he was sorry I was disappointed. I am not only disappointed, I am deeply concerned. The Community Forum has talked about lobbying for funding and to influence decision making in Council and the state government. I am concerned that the Byron Bay Community Forum will in fact lobby on behalf of a number of vocal residents of Byron Bay, while inferring it represents a vision for the Shire. This has already occurred at last week’s Council meeting. Rose Wanchap asked that a point be included in a motion about tow away zones, that the Byron Bay Community Forum be consulted to identify problem areas. Despite a few councillors pointing out that the problem exists in other areas, like Tyagarah and Brunswick Heads, no similar rights of consultation were afforded to these communities. I am also concerned that the mayor of Byron Shire has chosen to direct his energy to taking a leading role in a group, originally supposed to

be open to the whole Shire, that in fact primarily focuses on issues about anti-social behaviour in Byron Bay. Is that unreasonable given he is the mayor of Byron Shire, not just the mayor of Byron Bay?

didn’t mind it at all. Which comes to the crux of the matter. The punters, the shoppers, the ones who the farmers rely on to buy their produce, loved it.

The published purpose of this new committee is: (i) to develop and review policies for addressing the management of civil infrastructure to meet the needs and aspirations of the Shire’s population in a sustainable way; (ii) to review Council’s asset management plan; (iii) to review Council’s 10 year works program; and (iv) to review levels of service for asset

High price of happiness I would like to comment about a conference that will be taking place next month in the Byron Community Centre. The conference, the Economics of Happiness, is a fantastic initiative to strengthen the community and discuss issues relevant to all of us. The conference empowers individuals to be part of a movement many of us have been waiting for. The cost of this three day event is, however, unaffordable for many. The conference features implications of modern, capitalist society and questions the status quo. Does the conference not contribute to the business-as-usual attitude by charging such a large fee? Personally, I would love to attend to and be inspired by visionaries and discuss a healthier future for all. Wouldn’t we all? Unfortunately, I do not have a spare 300 dollars. Susan de Groot Heupner

Restoring Belongil nature’s way Mary Gardner

H

ere’s a seaside story that not many people know. I learned it bit by bit over years walking and snorkelling. In the last few months, mask on face, I lay me into shallow waters and explored newly formed gutters and sand bars inshore at Byron Bay. This seabed is an integral, oft forgotten part of ‘the beach’. Bend your mind with me as I tell of being a monitor from inside the body of water. The sweep along the beach pulls but I grip newly exposed rocks and peer at fish smaller than my fingers that are now in residence. Holding my breath, I dip down the few metres to bottom and let go. Like a tired marine mammal, I am carried along and washed up much further along. Over many such ‘rides’, I sense for myself changes in the underwater beach. Walking ‘the beach’ above water, I shift my monitoring senses to wide angle and extend my awareness from the Headland to Tyagarah. Watching patterns of runoff plumes, I can see results of the coastal studies of 1978 still hold. There is still a sweep up the coast outside the rocky headland and more sand leaves than enters the bay. True, much sand has left the bay forever by road due to mining. But what is in the bay also shifts from underwater to above and back again. I know that rhythm. Here, the Wollongbar wreck gets covered. There, Tassie lll gets exposed. Other rocky reefs clear and cover. Where macro seaweed grows thicker, that reef resists sand, which settles elsewhere. Where dune vegetation is restored, the beach above water stabilises sand more so than not, endlessly rebalancing.

Magical thinking

If an Indian shaman were to say that the asteroid that recently visited us and the meteor that explode over Russia was a message from the heavens, a warning to mankind that we need to turn from our wayward lifestyles and from being lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, we may very well give it thought. But a shaman didn’t say this. The Bible says that in the last days these things will be prevalent in society. Luke 22.25: ‘And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars [astral bodies]; and on the earth distress of nations.’ If we don’t take heed of these warnings, they will bear witness against us. Paul Hamill

Purpose of new zones

I went to a ‘drop in’ session at the Civic last week to find out what I could about Brad www.echo.net.au

Where the dune vegetation is broken up, the land ‘beach’ is out of alignment with the underwater one. The bay is awkward like a great beast with chunks of its guts torn out, and then patched badly with the wrong materials. One ‘mend’, around ‘Main Beach’, is transplanted rocks buttressing a section and forming a short groyne. Nowadays, no one would add any such rocks on a sandy open ocean beach. Rocks are only used on gravel and shingle seabeds. Somehow, this ‘mend’ is strongly consolidated. Perhaps the curve of bay, the underwater beach wrecks and reefs together with above water vegetation compensate.

Spit immobilised by construction Further north, the above water beach reveals a sand spit sheltering an intermittently closed estuary called Belongil. Since 1885, the once flexible sand spit was increasingly immobilised by construction. Erosion was enhanced. A twenty centimetre rise in sea level over last century destabilised the spit to 10–30 metres back from the sea. More than fifty years ago, a section with an entire street on it was washed away. In the 1970s, car bodies and rocks were dumped parallel to the spit at the dune Hazzard’s review of environmental zones and for some explanation of the intentions of the government’s Green Paper. I was told that I couldn’t see a consultant as they were too busy. I filled in a form to register my interest and was given a sheet of paper written by NSW Planning and Infrastructure which did nothing to allay my concerns. I peeped into the great hall of the Civic and saw just three tables, each with two consultants who were there to answer questions of ‘the public’. Has Brad Hazzard been put off public meetings since his Lismore experience last December when his message was overwhelmed by angry CSG protesters? His new approach now puts intimidation on the other foot. Corinne Fisher in Sydney started up the Better Planning Network in response to the Green Paper, and has attracted hundreds of groups from

It also nourished marine and bird life in the estuary and adjacent Cumbebin Wetlands. Coastal Australians, Aboriginals and settlers alike, once relied on all these animals and plants. Up to the 1970s, whiting, mullet, mulloway and prawns were abundant, supplying fish shops as far away as Ballina. Breeding colonies of shorebirds were common. Now, few fish are found and only a handful of shorebirds edge. This ad hoc ‘hard engi- struggle to breed. neering’ fix wouldn’t ever work and indeed hastened further Future proofing?

Intellectual property is murder Kevin Carson

A

For years, global digital copyright treaties and the IP provisions of assorted ‘free trade’ agreements have been drafted in secret by proprietary content industries. Even the digital copyright laws of ostensibly independent countries are drafted by lobbyists from those same industries, then rubberstamped by the national parliaments, with most members never even having a chance to read them. For example, a large batch of the diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks showed that the US content industries essentially wrote New Zealand’s legislation – and the US government even offered to fund New Zealand’s copyright enforcement police at American taxpayer expense. (One New Zealand citizen was actually arrested in New Zealand by FBI agents.) Since the USA is exporting its own corporationfriendly laws to other countries, and using ‘free trade’ agreements as a means to enforce them, it is essential to examine those laws closely. After all, in the USA it is the polluting industries that get to write the environmental laws..

mong the terms of a socalled ‘free trade agreement’ being negotiated between the European Union and India is a requirement for ‘data exclusivity’ which will eviscerate India’s generic drug industry. ‘Data exclusivity’ means that clinical trials conducted before marketing by the company that originally produced the drug cannot be applied to meet government safety or efficacy requirements for the generic version. Each separate company that wants to market a generic version of a patented drug will first have to conduct its own clinical trials as a precondition. That directly contradicts one of the arguments commonly put forward by patent apologists – that patents are an antidote to trade secrets because they re- berg Laws a civil rights act.

First of all, there has been India’s generic drug industry. Let’s be clear on something: a dramatic shift away from Those who call this abomina- fundamentally new kinds of tion a ‘free trade agreement’ are blockbuster drugs, because it’s liars. It’s like calling the Nurem- much more cost-effective to put

money into tweaking the formulas of drugs whose patents are about to expire just enough to qualify for repatenting them – so-called ‘me, too drugs.’ Second, a great deal of the basic research on which drug development is based is carried out at government expense in publicly funded universities. Around half of the overall cost of drug R&D is taxpayer-funded. And in the United States, under the terms of legislation passed in the 1980s, the patents on drugs developed entirely at taxpayer expense are given away – free of charge – to the drug companies that produce and market them.

Own property you don’t live in? Did you know that any property you own but do not live in may be liable for land tax? Register now to avoid being charged penalties or interest. If you own property in NSW other than your principal place of residence, with a total land value of more than $406 000, you need to register with the NSW Office of State Revenue for land tax. Property includes vacant land, a house, unit, flat or holiday home. Land tax generally does not apply to the principal place of residence or to farms. If you think you may be liable for land tax, you should register: online at www.osr.nsw.gov.au by calling our dedicated land tax helpline on 1300 139 816. All property owners who may be liable for land tax must register by 29 March 2013. The Valuer General provides independent annual valuations of all land in NSW to OSR for land tax purposes. You can find details of how to calculate your land tax liability at www.osr.nsw.gov.au Office of State Revenue: ISO 9001 – Quality Certified | Department of Finance & Services

Third, most of the actual R&D cost for developing drugs comes not from testing the version of a drug actually marketed, but from securing patent lockdown on all the other major possible variants. Another example of this phenomenon is Monsanto’s patents on ‘high-yield varieties,’ one of the ostensible benefits of the socalled ‘Green Revolution.’ Such varieties, as Frances Moore Lappe points out, are more accurately called ‘high-response varieties.’ That is, they’re not hardy or resilient under the normal conditions experienced by local peasant subsistence farmers, like native varieties that were developed over the course of many generations to be hardy under local conditions. Rather, they’re engineered to produce high yields under artificial conditions like heavy applications of expensive synthetic fertiliser and government-subsidised irrigation water. ‘High-yield’ seeds like Monsanto’s genetically modified varieties, in other words, are ideally suited to the needs of large-scale cash crop agribusiness on plantations owned by sundry landed oligarchies around the Third World – usually on land stolen from evicted peasants whose traditional titles to subsistence plots were nullified – with preferential access to government-subsidised irrigation. So Monsanto’s seeds are associated with a particular business model which is rendered artificially profitable by the state against subsistence production.

I had taken samples to SCU and had them sent to Sydney for analysis. Perhaps Janelle and Justine Elliot can shame these Nationals non-representatives to get off their collective behinds and do what they are elected to do, represent the people of their electorates rather than the interests of outsiders whose only intent is to come onto your land raping and pillaging it for short term gain while doing long term damage with their toxic Derek Harper gas wells and associated paraBillinudgel phernalia.

The practical effect is to shift production from widely distributed small subsistence holdings to large-scale commercial production for the export or urban markets. Under pressure of eviction (essentially a modernday re-enactment of the commons enclosures) and statesubsidised competition, people who were formerly able to feed themselves on their own land now lack the purchasing power to buy food from the landed oligarchs’ agribusiness plantations. And Monsanto’s patents, which criminalise saving seed, add insult to injury by ensuring that the seeds remain too expensive for any small producer who might otherwise be able to afford them. The words ‘intellectual property’ should be emblazoned on the standards of two horsemen of the apocalypse: Pestilence and Famine. Violating copyright and patent claims is sometimes called ‘theft’ by apologists for IP. The exact opposite is true: ‘Intellectual property’ is theft. But more than that, it’s murder.

<echowebsection=Letters>

Q So the NSW premier has decided that you can’t frack near horse studs and vineyards. What about about food farms and sheep studs? Why one and not the other? The only reason I can think of is because the gambling and alcohol industries are amongst the biggest spenders on lobbying and political donations in the country. Bad luck, farmers, if only people bet on sheep and were addicted to juices.

times since then (yes, in all the rain – when you’re wet, you’re wet) and opened my eyes to its real potential. What if we could expand our vision beyond ‘make do and mend’ and imagine a fantastic community resource? Lismore and Tweed councils are showing what can be done to create modern aquatic centres. Goonellabah now has a heated 25 metre pool, a toddler pool, water slide, learnto-swim ledges and a gym. Lismore has a new 25 metre heated pool, as well as a 50 metre pool. Murwillumbah (eat your heart out, Mullum) has a giant hill slide, a new heated 25 metre pool (as well as the existing 50 metre pool), diving boards, a hydrotherapy pool and a learn-to-swim pool. The Petria Thomas Pool at Mullumbimby is much loved and well used. Many families just about lived there through the school holiday heatwaves. There’s over a hundred people in the 100km Club. It’s hosted twenty school carnivals during February. But what about its future? Mullumbimby population is expanding: more families are moving here, eg Tallowood Ridge; families who

already live here are growing; and the tree changers and retiree numbers are still expanding. If we had a gym, a safe learnto-swim area, a hydrotherapy pool and proper disabled access, just imagine the social and health benefits. Anyone who’s had a health scare knows the medical mantra: exercise and healthy living is the way to go. Mullum Pool could be so much better and our community would reap the benefits. Cecily McGee

I’m outta here I am definitely changing my place of abode to outside Byron Shire when I can afford it. How embarrassing to be part of a deluded political mindset that has lost its identity. Sack the mayor for lack of interest in people’s agenda of native habitat preservation. Environmental fools!

GROW YOUR OWN FRUIT

Ha’veli furniture gallery owner Heidi is passionate about ethical recycling and taking a sustainable philosophy with everything she sources, selects and redesigns, making unique pieces of ‘furniture with a history’.

Everyone loves stone fruit, and you can grow your own here on the north coast. They flower beautifully in winter/spring, and then fruit in September through to about December. They usually only grow to about three metres tall, and there are some dwarf varieties that are only half that size. Make sure you choose a variety that will fruit in our climate. The Tropical Angel Peach grows to approximately three metres by three metres, and is covered in pink blossom in spring. It bears sweet, flattened fruit with yellow flesh. Nectarine White Satin bears lovely white fleshed fruit and has a great flavour. Super Dwarf Sunset peach and nectarines grow to only 1–1.5 metres tall, and can be grown successfully in pots or in gardens. They have lovely red foliage, and pink blossom in winter/early spring. Both produce an abundance of full sized fruit – the nectarine has yellow flesh and the peach has white flesh. If you want to grow an apple tree, then Anna is a good one that produces delicious red-skinned fruit. It grows only 3m tall and is suitable for pots and containers. Peaches, nectarines apples, and nashis are all self pollinating so you only need one tree. They will become highly productive in 2–3 years. Open 7 days 140 Bangalow Rd, Byron Bay 6685 6874

JAMES HILL IS ONE OF THE BEST UKULELE PLAYERS ON THE PLANET. HE IS A COMPOSER AND INNOVATOR. WHAT HE CAN DO ON A UKE IS OUT OF THIS WORLD. His partner Anne Janelle is a wonderful cellist, singer/ songwriter and performer. They are headlining the Melbourne Uke Festival… and visiting Newcastle and Mullumbimby on this very, very brief tour… so it is most likely the only time in Australia you will be able to witness them in such an intimate setting. Don’t miss your chance to say ‘I was there’. James, why do you think there has been such a reinvention of the ukulele? I think people are looking for an antidote to the fast-paced, high-tech, there’s-an-appfor-that world we’re living in. The ukulele connects real people in the real world with real music. It’s a beautiful thing. What is it about the instrument do you think that people find so accessible? It’s easy to learn. It taps into the DIY spirit. Even a novice player can make a decent sound pretty much right away. It also has a built-in sense of humour. The ukulele sounds like a smile. Do you think that uke music is taken seriously by the industry or is it still maligned by its ‘toy’ appearance? It’s a bit maligned but not anywhere near as bad as it has been in the past. It’s gaining respect, slowly but surely! Do you ever get bored teaching beginners? How do you stay fresh? Not really. Teaching a beginner is like watching a baby walk for the first time: it’s always amazing. Everyone wants something slightly different from the uke; that’s where the challenge comes in. To understand the person behind the student, their needs and dreams. What are you looking for when you are writing a song? What are the stories or narratives that you might decide to tell? Insight. I mean, if people are going to sit there and listen for a few minutes I’d better have something insightful to share, ideally something that’s specific enough to be concrete but universal enough to resonate with many. What is your songwriting and melody making process? Lyrics first. Then, take the natural rhythms and pitches of the words and just amplify them. That’s almost always my starting point. After that, you just let instinct and experience take over. Tell me about you and Anne – how did you two first meet, and then start playing together? We met at

the University of British Columbia school of music; we were both studying there. I couldn’t get a degree on the uke so I had started playing viola (I’d played violin as a kid). So we met in the symphony. Literally, eyes across a crowded stage! Is there a chemistry between players that can’t be explained? Why do you think there is synergy with some and not with others? Yes, just like there’s synergy between people. Music is a conversation, just in a different language. I think everyone knows that feeling of having coffee with someone and have time fly because the chemistry was right. And the feeling of trying to converse with someone who just isn’t on the same wavelength. It’s just the same in music. You have to talk and listen in complementary ways. How do you keep pushing the uke? Do you find its limitations are in fact a bonus at times? Definitely. As an artist, limits are your best friend. There’s nothing

more terrifying (and uninteresting) than an artist without limits. What would you say is most important in playing uke and creating technique? Following the muse. You have to do what you feel and stay in touch with that feeling as it changes, because it will. I used to be obsessed with scales and strumming technique, now I’m obsessed with songwriting and spontaneity. You have to go where the muse leads you. What should we expect for your Mullum workshop and concert? Each concert is like a fingerprint, every show has its own special magic. There’ll be lots of great music, some laughs and a few surprises. Workshop 3pm and Concert 5pm, Mullumbimby Ex-Services Club. Tickets available www.ukemullum. com or at the door on the day. $20 for the workshop / $20 for the concert or $35 for both. Family options available.

ADDING INSULT TO INJURY Alright people of Australia, time to start minding your mouth, because that flippantly delivered smartarse comment could land you in some serious trouble! If Labor chooses to adopt new antidiscrimmination laws then its is going to be unlawful to insult or offend people. Oh my god! That goes to the very heart of the Australian identity. Pubs will be empty, or full of people giving each other back massages and handing out compliments and affirmations. ‘Bob, have I ever told you how that blue singlet brings out your eyes?’ We are Australians, we like to take the piss. It’s how we bond with people. When someone turns up to a party looking all spruced up, instead of saying ‘Wow, you look amazing’ (that's what an American would say), we go ‘Gees, you’re a bit overdressed. Left the old man at home? Looking for a new husband, love?’ That's a compliment. It means you not only look good, if you bothered, you could pull a root. While I’m all for laws to protect people from being discriminated against, I wonder what kind of Nanny State we’d be living in if Julia turns up at the front door ready to wash your mouth out with soap for calling the woman who stole your car space a ‘fat pig.’ I mean at what point does the state step in to protect us, deciding that because we’re not white men that we need some sort of special protection? I don’t like being called a fat pig, but you know what, I can take it. In fact there’s not much you can yell at me that I can’t take. I’ve been called it all. I’m not about to curl up into foetal position and rock myself to sleep in the corner because I’m just a silly woman and you’ve hurt my feelings. I don’t want laws legislat-

ing what people can say to me, or other women, disabled people, Aboriginal people, non-English speakers, homosexuals, lesbians and those of us considered so vulnerable and marginalised that we need protection by the state. If a people need legislation or laws to set what is appropriate and sensitive cultural or interpersonal behaviour than I think you’ve lost the battle in the first place. It’s not kindergarten. Suddenly people will be going, ‘don’t call Mandy a fat pig. She can’t take it. She’ll call the cops again.’ And given the power, I will. Imagine calling triple-O to report the offence. ‘Hello officer, I am ringing to report a crime. I was called ‘Fat Pig’. Next minute the cops are at the door ready to arrest my kids. But then I open the door and they go, ‘hang on love, you are a fat pig. That wasn’t an insult. That was a descriptive statement. Under the current anti-discrimmination laws descriptive statements are still allowed.’Lets face it, its generally your family and loved ones who are going to insult and offend you. I googled ‘insults for Australians’ and found a list of insults to use on Australians for travellers, written by, yes, you guessed it: an Australian! We’re so into this insulting thing, we’re writing the visitor script. It’s how we help new arrivals out. This particular blogger suggested telling Australians that ‘Australia was just like America, that we’re all criminals as we are descended from convicts and that the Aussie cricket team are a bunch of cheats.’ Being offensive is the passport to good social integration! Aussies are rude. When your mother leans over and whispers in your ear about your new boyfriend ‘He’s got a face like a smashed crab’, you know she’s giving the okay. My grandmother short circuited any self esteem I had been building as a teenager with a comment on my close set eyes. ‘Like two pissholes in the snow’ she said. It was hurtful, but introduced me to the power of the metaphor. Insults can be creative. We’ve come up with some classics. For someone who’s got poor management skills: ‘couldn’t organise a piss up in a brewery’,

and will go towards the bands and the next big show.

NOT THE KINGSWOOD!

ROGER THAT AT THE HOTEL GREAT NORTHERN ON SATURDAY

COLOGNE’S ENSEMBLE Classical music lovers are in for a treat when Kammerphilarmonie Koln, or the Chamber Philharmonia Cologne, present their diverse program ranging from Vivaldi and his tremendously famous Winter of the Four Seasons to JS Bach, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Paganini and his outstanding La Campanella for violin with orchestra and Borne. Sunday at 8 pm in St Paul’s Anglican Church in Byron Bay. Box office: Threeworlds Byron Bay Shop, 7 Marvell Street, ph 6680 8317; internet: www.threeworlds.com.au. Tickets at the door one hour prior to the concert.

Kingswood are a four-piece indie rock band from Melbourne. They won the coveted ‘Triple J Unearthed Splendour in the Grass’ competition, which saw them open the Byron Bay festival on the main Supertop stage. They played 85 ballistic shows all over Australia and five invitation only events in Afghanistan. They were nominated for best new artist at the J Awards and selected as one of Triple J’s ‘Next Crop’ for 2013. Hotel Great Northern on Friday.

for an unattractive fella ‘He has a head on him like a sucked mango’, for those afflicted by poor driving skills ‘couldn’t drive a greasy stick up a dog’s arse’ and of course for someone like Tony Abbott ‘He must have two penises, he couldn’t be that stupid from pulling one.’ Or for the fellow down the road you can’t stand ‘I wish his dad had settled for a blow job’. The one I don’t quite get is ‘go and stick your head up a dead bear’s bum’, but like most Aussie-isms it's definitely both insulting and offensive and now, potentially illegal! I’m a comedian. I have spent 27 years being insulting and offensive. Oh well, I should just shut my cake hole and wait for the coppers.

NAHKO & MEDICINE FOR THE PEOPLE AT SPIRIT FESTIVAL AT MULLUM CIVIC HALL AND MULLUM HIGH SCHOOL THIS WEEKEND

THE SOUND OF THE SPIRIT

HEADING HERE FROM NEW ORLEANS, TUBA SKINNY BRING THE BIG BRASS DIRTY STREET SOUND TO COORABELL HALL ON SATURDAY, ALONGSIDE LOCAL FAVOURITES POTATO POTATO. Welcome back to Australia! What is the band looking forward to on this visit? We’re looking forward to seeing our old fans, making new ones and seeing more of the land. Looking forward to driving the Great Ocean Road… We’re looking forward to recording in Tasmania. Can you tell us a little about how Tuba Skinny came about? We met because we were all interested in playing early music on acoustic instruments out on the street… and that’s how we met! Out on the streets in New Orleans. The band formed spontaneously. The group look like such an intriguing bunch, describe each of the members in a word? Robin: The Writer Todd: The Animal. Barnabus: The Dog Ryan: The Enigma Erika: The Bull Westen: The Vaudevillian Jon: The Grampa Shay: The Maestro New Orleans music is rich with many incredible artists and sounds. What are some of the group’s influences – and what else do you listen to? We listen to early jazz and delta blues from the 1920s. We love jug band music and current brass band music from New Orleans. We are influenced by the music we listen to as above and also the musicians in New Orleans. What has been one of your strangest experiences on the road? We run into friends

young

p

atter eople m

all over the world. We ran into a bunch of friends in a small, small town in Mexico recently. It’s weird being at the opposite ends of the world and running into old friends. What is behind the name TUBA SKINNY? There was an important tuba player from New Orleans who is no longer alive called Tuba Fats. He was important in keeping music on the street legal. Todd kinda earned the nickname Tuba Skinny one year because he’s really skinny and people kept seeing him lugging a tuba around… so in a homage to Tuba Fats we named the band Tuba Skinny. Describe some differences between American and Australian audiences and shows. In America, most of our fans are a bit older. We find that in Australia we’re getting a great response from younger people, which is exciting because it keeps the energy at our shows a bit more lively with all the people getting up to dance. What has been your highlight when touring down under? Being able to spend time in the bush. It’s really quite a different work over here… very beautiful… we got to spend some time in Tasmania and the Blue Mountains, and the bush is very different over here. We’ve never experienced anything like it and we feel lucky to be able to do so. Name some of your favourite Australian artists/musicians? CW Stoneking is a big hit within our band. We loved Hanggai, but they’re Chinese and we saw them in Australia. We actually play a couple of CW’s songs in our set! What can audiences expect from your show at Coorabell Hall? Perhaps some nudity… A lot of dancing… some jazz rags. Saturday at Coorabell Hall. Tix www. mullummusic.com t: 6684 6195

This year the Byron Spirit Festival is presenting nighttime events in two venues so festival goers will have a chance to experience a phenomenal range of ceremony, celebration, international music and dance. Beginning at the Mullum High School venue, the opening ceremony on Friday will be a sensory, empowering ceremony engaging the stellar talents of Deva Premal & Miten, the Gyuto CHRIS Monks of Tibet (returning to Mullum in time to parARONSTEN AT ticipate!), local Indigenous THE RAILS ON leader Lewis Walker, and TUESDAY Vesica Pisces and Lady Lynx. Revering the four elements, enlisting sacred sounds, fusing light, sacred decor and the powerful energy of the gathering of like souls, we will embody, activate and awaken all the senses. The Future Sound of Yoga and Hawaii’s Nahko & Medicine for the People will then take the room on a tribal dance journey. Over at the Civic Hall, the Sacred Sufi Shabbat Fusion offers the exquisite kirtan of Sacred Earth, followed by Avishai Barnatan and Amir Paiss’s original prayers, blessings and music on the Friday night shabbat, followed by the mystical verses and sound of Sufi poetry sung in Urdu, Farsi, Hindi and Punjabi with the esteemed Tahir and the Qawwali Ensemble. Saturday night offerings at Temple High commence with a guided Yoga Nidra within a traditional kirtan form with the delightful Edo and Jo, followed by the launch of Kevin James-Carroll’s long-awaited brand new CD of anthemic, heartstirring songs and chants. This night of transformational singing concludes with the amazing Dave Stringer, a Los Angeles-based chanter whose

worldwide mission is to mix traditional kirtan with the wild exuberance of rockin’, gospel-tinged groove and power. The Civic Hall Saturday night opens with a sacred Cacao Ceremony followed by a Kundalini Yoga sequence, perfectly preparing all for the modern electronic synergy of Temple Step Project, followed by the inimitable, Kundalini-raising live sounds of Wild Marmalade’s didj and dance beats. The evening concludes with DJ Shaman supreme, Dakini, creating an ethnic and sacred bass music dance journey designed for release and transformation – weaving ancient and modern sounds to create an ‘intentional dancefloor temple’. On Sunday at Mullum High, the Gratitude Ceremony will use the Dream Drone to re-balance all the weekend’s energetic input, followed by the delectable singer/songwriter Saritah. Nahko & Medicine for the People will play their final festival set to insure that hearts, bodies and souls, are happy, harmonious, united, and at peace! Weekend pass holders may go between venues on each night! Tickets may purchased separately to evening

ARONSTEN AT THE RAILS Byron based singer/ songwriter and multiinstrumentalist Chris Aronsten remains a unique and unashamedly Australian voice, although you could be forgiven for thinking he was born in Ireland. Aronsten plays guitar, mandolin, fiddle, DEE DEE LAVELL AT THE harmonica, spoons and stompbox. And RAILS ON SATURDAY there is no shortage of energy in his solo performance. A typical concert includes original songs and selected covers played on the various instruments. He blends the songs with fiddle tunes, American-style bluegrass flat-picking on guitar, and instrumentals on mandolin. Rails on Tuesday.

Every year Blues Festival director Peter Noble says ‘this is the best Blues Festival yet’. In fact, he’s famous for it. And many years he’s right on the money, but this year, I am going to say it before he gets a chance. I reckon that this is the best Blues Festival lineup yet. It’s such an impressive bill that it’s almost impossible not to find at least a bunch of acts that you would kill to see. For me it would be Iggy Pop. As a longtime fan from his Stooges days, I’m surprised the guy is still alive let alone still wanting to be your dog. He must be the world’s most high octane senior! Then there’s Paul Simon. I think you’d be lying if you didn’t admit that there wasn’t a Simon and Garfunkel lurking in your collection somewhere, that you didn’t get goosebumps when he sang ‘coo coo ca choo Mrs Robinson’, especially now when you are Mrs Robinson. Ben Harper continues to deliver music to move your soul, there’s Status Quo‌ Jimmy Cliff, Santana, and hang on, I forgot to mention Robert Plant. In fact in one weekend it’s possible to see nearly every musical mover and shaker on the planet. And we have a 5-day double pass to give away to a lucky reader

who wants a genuinely life changing experience. For full festival lineup go to www.bluesfest.com.au, and to win tix, email gigs@ echo.net.au and please, only one entry per person! Please title it Blues Pest‌ because, dear reader, I know you are going to hassle the hell out of me. It’s like Willy Wonka’s golden ticket‌ everyone wants the prize!

LED BY THE SHEPPARD Brisbane ßber-fun sextet Sheppard return to Australian stages after their recent Nov/Dec trek of the US, bringing their indie-pop sounds to the Byron Brewery on Saturday. Sheppard recently performed in India, playing the NH7 Weekend festival in Pune, before playing Sounds Australia’s Aussie Barbeques in Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore and thereafter commenced an American tour in December – being their third overseas tour in four months. Sheppard (Bris) and guests at Byron Bay Brewery – Main Room, 8.30 start – $10 on the door.

GETTING ON THE LAVELL

Personifying soul, passion and charisma, Dee Lavell might be the latest name on the Australian soul and blues scene, but she’s definitely not the new kid on the block. A seasoned performer with more than 25 years’ experience on stage, Dee released her new PIRATES ALIVE AT THE album Mama Told Me in 2012. Dee was a HOTEL GREAT NORTHERN member of Sydney-based soul/funk group KINGSWOOD AT THE HOTEL ON SATURDAY The Honeybees along with Belle Hendrik GREAT NORTHERN ON FRIDAY and Tina Harrod; sang in Mother Jive with Liza Ohlback; and headed up her own band, Totally Funked Up, with Calvin Welch and Eric Rasmussen.

22 February 26, 2013 The Byron Shire Echo

Seven really is the lucky number for the 7th Byron Bay International Film Festival presented by The Owners Club at Linnaeus, as it announces its biggest ever official selection of over 220 cutting edge independent films including 13 world premieres and a record 122 additional Australian premieres to screen in cinemas around the northern rivers over 10 days from Friday until Sunday 10 March. The thought-provoking, inspiring and entertaining lineup includes films for interests ranging from culture, human evolution, social issues and environmental sustainability, through to music, dance, surf, sexuality and even outer space. Among the wealth of world premieres, highlights include Pharaoh vs the Egyptians, the debut documentary feature film from Australian-Egyptian comedian, Akmal Saleh, about the Arab Spring. As the Dust Settles shares the Burning Man experience in a very intimate and personal way as five filmmakers document their first time in the Black Rock Desert. McDonald Masada follows one strange and fascinating man and his ukulele on a musical journey through Israel to wake the world from its consumerist slumber. And

CHESS

by Ian Rogers Play at Byron Services Club, Mon 7pm AGON, headed by American millionaire Andrew Paulsen, is the body owning exclusive rights to organise and commercialise the world chess championship cycle for the next ten years. AGON’s first real test will be the candidates tournament in London, where an elite group of eight will be fighting to become World Champion Viswanathan Anand’s next challenger. However, for AGON’s business model to succeed, they desperately need Magnus Carlsen to win in London and qualify for the world title match. The brilliant Norwegian – at home both as a grandmaster and a fashion model – is the only player with the profile to turn a traditional world championship match into a multi-million dollar payday for himself, Anand and AGON. Some have gone so far as to suggest that if Carlsen fails to win in London, AGON will abandon the whole chess project, leaving the world body FIDE – which has reportedly failed to collect any fees due from Paulsen

– red-faced and searching for a plan B. Q The following game is a big upset: a young Danish player adopting a 500 year old opening to pummel a highly regarded Norwegian International Master. Reykjavik Open 2013 White: S Jensen (1909) Black: F Urkedal (2473) Opening: King’s Gambit 1.e4 e5 2.f4 exf4 3.Nf3 g5 4.Bc4 g4 5.0-0!?

Two pieces ahead, Black now finds himself is dire straits. Urkedal probably avoided 12...Nc6! because of 13.Qh5+ Qg6 14.Qxc5 but then 14...d6 is playable for Black. Most likely Jensen would have headed back to the main line with 13.Nc3 d6 14.Ne4 Qf5 15.Qb3+!?, when anything can happen. 13.Qh5+! Qg6 13...Kg7 also loses to 14.Bh6+!

He helps others find the tiny bit of pure knowing that answers the challenges of life and realises ever deeper levels of meaning and goodness. Meetings with John consist of dialogues and silent connection. It’s an invitation to come to rest, but also to activate and awaken to what you really are and what you are alive for.

SURF MOVIE AT THE BACKROOM Otis Carey is synonymous with everything punk in the surfing world. Kill the Matador is a human interest piece portrayed through the journey of a punk surf film. An abstract and visual portrayal of a unique and enigmatic professional surfer. Aggressive, quirky, artistic and raw. The artistic and erratic film aesthetic has been directed to mirror Otis Carey’s personality and character in and out of the water. The punk and at times instrumentally abstract soundtrack has been curated to mirror the visual narrative. Screening at the Hotel Great Northern on Friday at 8pm.

E ARIES: This week sensitises you to what’s not right in your world. Change yourself and others will respond – try to change them and they’ll slip through your expectations like quicksilver. Anger management could be your most useful strategy this week, coupled with plenty of restorative down time. F TAURUS: Sometimes it can be hard realising we can’t rely anymore on what supported us in the past. This week suggests checking on whether or not you’re wasting time and energy on any lost causes. Also being discriminating about what responsibilities and commitments you agree to take on. G GEMINI: Caution: noticing when you’re projecting your expectations onto others can trigger sudden, thrilling insights this week. If retro Mercury brings stressful or upsetting news, look at where adjustment’s needed. And with Jupiter expanding the love in your life, the more you give the more you’ll get… H CANCER: This week’s cosmic mirror reflects back facets of yourself: some yummy, others more difficult to accept.

Sydney born and raised, Kate Little has had a passion for the performing and healing arts for what she admits feels like forever. She’s studied Kahuna, Kundalini, and Chaos! She worked as an assistant publicist at Bluesfest; has been the director of the Global/Healing Village at Splendour in the Grass for the last eight years and now she’s the cocreator of the Spirit Festival with Alex Grant. What is the main inspiration for the Byron Spirit Festival? We are inspired to create an event that is a reflection and expression of our diverse community. We hope to unite and celebrate the various different spiritual practices available to us today and gather the best teachers and performers from around the world to represent these forms. After such a successful first festival last year, what are you doing differently this year? Last year we were so grateful to receive such overwhelming support from both our local community and visitors, so we feel our format just needs grounding, not changing. We are expanding our evening concert series so our audience can choose between two amazing venues and we have expanded our daytime workshop series to

offer over 150 talks, sound journeys, classes and workshops. We have also expanded our Healing Village and have some new modalities on offer. How do you select the teachers? Do they contact you, or do you go out and source the talent? A bit of both. We had over 200 applications from people wanting to teach this year! And we are committed to travelling to other similar festivals around the world to source the world’s leaders in their particular forms. How will you be engaging the community of Mullumbimby and Byron Shire throughout the weekend? We will again be offering the Spirit Village, that surrounds the Civic Hall (weather permitting), free to our community. With amazing performances on the Spirit Stage, a Drum Journey Tipi, a specific program offered by YouthSpeak, a kids’ village, amazing food and a vast area of healing forms. We are also collaborating with installation artist Amanda King to create ‘recycled rongoli’ with the community. She’s one of the tops in her field, and just completed the War Horse that stands in front of the theatre where War Horse is playing! We have also sourced some great performers and teachers

from within our amazingly talented community! What are you most looking forward to, personally, at the festival? I am really inspired by the power of collective creativity, as I feel that is an ultimate expression of my spiritual practice. The energy that is generated when we are co-creating for a unified purpose is, for me, one of the most powerful healing experiences possible! Let’s hear your hot tips for the not-to-bemissed presenters and performers? I am loving the music and raw energy of Nahko & Medicine for the People and these will be their last shows in Australia this tour! I am really excited about the evening concert series that bridge workshop and performance, creating a more integrated experience. I am also interested to hear the youth / elders forum with our mayor and I feel Deva Premal & Miten’s musical satsang Sunday morning will be divine! What I love most though… is the sense of discovery available for each of us! Byron Spirit Festival: Mullumbimby Civic Hall and surrounds Friday to Sunday.

only problem is he has no memory. Piper, Jason and Leo’s close friend, is forced to choose between saving her father’s life, dooming her friends or sacrificing her father to save camp half blood and her friends. In just four days. Although it is a rather large book to read, I found it easy to get caught up in; whether it takes you days, or weeks to read, it is worth it. I found it to be a much needed addition to the world of Percy Jackson. Fans of the series may question his disappearance, but the book is still as good as any of the others. If you enjoy reading, can’t find a book to read or love the series, it’s an unquestionable must read book.

Woolgathering By Patti Smith Review by Kathryn Lyster This is only a small book – hardback, with a painted peasant girl and her sheep flock on the cover – but don’t be fooled by the size. In it you will find Patti Smith’s poetic and moving accounts of sacred and enchanted moments from her early years. Completed on her forty fifth birthday and now reprinted twenty years later, Woolgathering is a luminous and poignant memoir. It reveals a stark bohemian, stark, other-wordly girl, imagined peoples, spirit talk, the wonderment and gifts of childhood when the doors to other realms are still wide open. Family, a burning barn, cafes, streets. Poetic. The blessed/curse of being an artist, or a poet... that certain sensitivity and sensibility that marks you as different, that seeing through things perspective that leaves you connected, but somehow also and always one step removed.

Whenever I stared into its depths I felt overcome, for caught within my little gem was more misery and hope than I could fathom’.

three vigorous, innovative and absorbing minutes. From America, Peruvian writer/ director Alonso Mayo’s The Story Of Luke is a quiet, heartwarming observation of an outsider’s clumsy attempts at acceptance. Autistic, motherless Luke goes to live with his cousins when his grandfather becomes incapable of caring for him. Like most young men, Luke is primarily interested in losing his virginity, but the character initially feels overdrawn and unnatural – we first meet him at a funeral, wearing odd shoes – but Mayo stealthily wins you over, treating a potentially glum scenario with a rare lightness of touch. As a stranger in a strange land, Luke unknowingly affects those he encounters as much as they impact on him – in the end I couldn’t help feeling really happy for the bloke. Otelo Burning, from South Africa, is a different kettle of fish altogether. It is 1989 and, with the release of Nelson Mandela imminent, Otelo and a couple of his friends are taken under the wing of Mandla, who teaches them how to surf ‘like the whites do.’ Otelo finds freedom on his board, but his township is being torn apart by the bitter and increasingly violent struggle between Inkhata and the ruling authorities. A shocking death – though not as graphic as what we are now accustomed to, the scene is deeply disturbing – leads Otelo to his ultimate, painful liberation. These and others – Baikonur, about a Mongol peasant who falls in love with a French astronaut; Electric Children, the strange tale of a thirteenyear-old’s flight from a cultish outpost when she finds that she is pregnant through an immaculate conception – are all part of the Festival’s rich and varying menu. Bouquets and thanks are owed to J’aimee Skippon-Volke for her tireless efforts in bringing the show to town. ~ John Campbell

that is anything like the one in which this cosy and endearing piece is set, I would not dread the approach of my twilight years nearly so much – being in the charge of a caring, beautiful blonde doctor (Sheridan Smith) wouldn’t be entirely objectionable either. Beecham House (after Sir Thomas, the famous conductor), a gorgeous stone manor surrounded by what looks like a manicured Capability Brown landscape, is the last port of call for retired classical musicians. I did not believe for one minute that Billy Connolly (as Wilf) might one day have been an opera singer of renown, but it’s a piffling matter, for he, in ensemble with Tom Courtenay (Reggie), Pauline Collins (Cissy) and Maggie Smith (Jean), are all on-song and playing to type. Wilf, the waggish Lothario (‘your music brought tears to my ears’) and the others are called upon to sing a quartet from Giuseppe Verdi’s Rigoletto at an upcoming gala fundraiser (2013 marks the composer’s centenary). The group’s major hurdle is to overcome the recalcitrance of Jean, from whom Reggie was bitterly estranged until she arrived unannounced at Beecham. In his directorial debut, Dustin Hoffman does not hit a false note. This is the work of a veteran who has been in a lot of movies and, aiming to please, knows unerringly how to achieve that goal. Gently paced, with just the right balance of light and shade – albeit without ever scratching very deeply below the surface of occasional despair at physical decline and the recurring melancholy that goes hand in glove with constant memory – honesty and hope prevail. The latter virtue is underscored by a shrewd but essential inclusion of young people, including a surprisingly touching scene in which a black boy tries to explain rap to Reggie. There’s also plenty of Verdi to offer a heavenly alternative to the gunfire and bloodied corpses that we have come to unquestioningly accept as de rigueur. ~ John Campbell

Television Guide 1. A critical and box office success in 2010, the clever SF movie Inception (Go! Sunday, 8.30pm) is well worth a reprise. Computer generated film-making can be an excuse to let visuals take over from plot, but playing with realities within realities the director here is justified in creating spectacular dreamscapes. Beware: the ending is not straightforward. 2. Ian Carmichael and Terry Thomas star in Lucky Jim (Gem Monday, noon), along with most of the tiny repertory of British film actors from the 50s. (Why did the same faces recur so often? Was it a closed war-service shop?) The strength of the comedy lies in Kingsley Amis’s book, and it is instructive to view the social structure of the story from the perspective of an anthropologist visiting from another planet. In other words it only makes sense in its own context.

It was enough, when I met Jennifer Eastman, that she loved cheese. How, I privately thought (and perhaps publicly said), can I not love this woman? One funny thing about cheese is that it is rare to find a person who just likes it: it inspires, rather, a state of adoration. And anyone familiar with this food column over the years will be aware of the extent of my cheese-adoration. ‘Cheese, milk’s leap toward immortality’, said 60s American writer Clifton Fadiman. Jenny, too, is American. She and her husband Michael are relatively new to the area, having decided to exchange their New York life for one here on the NSW far north coast. What she also left behind was her job at Murray’s, New York’s oldest cheese shop, where she started out working – for nothing – as a cave intern. Murray’s, in Greenwich Village, was founded in 1940 by a Jewish businessman called Murray Greenberg, who sold it in the 70s to his Calabrese clerk, who in turn sold the place to Rob Kaufelt in the early 90s. Rob, whom Jenny describes as ‘amazing’, remains the owner today, regularly travelling the world in pursuit of new, often obscure cheeses and bringing them back to the store. He educates his staff and infuses them with the passion he himself feels. Jenny tells me that at any given time there will be around 250 cheeses available – and more than 100 of these will have ripened in caves underneath the store. She says that Murray’s is unique in this system of caves, of which there are five, each individually climate-controlled specifically for the types of cheeses, designed to mimic as closely as possible the underground caves where cheeses have aged throughout history. There she was, a 30-something Illinois girl who had moved to New York to study cinematography at the School of Visual Arts, ending up in the film industry largely being required to make commercials – such is the reality of the industry over there – hooked up with Perth-born Mike, whose profession was closely aligned. The two of them trotting along to Murray’s regularly to attend their wonderful cheese classes â€˜â€Ś about a particular style of cheese, or a region‌ pairing cheese with wine‌ We were intrigued by some of the pairings – bourbon with cheese, beer with cheese. We’d just have a ball.’ One day she noticed a sign up advertising for cave interns and ‘it was like a thunderbolt! I didn’t know what it was but I thought I wanted to do it’, she tells me. It was unpaid, two days a week, down in the caves where over a period of six months she learned absolutely everything there was to know about cheese. The French name for what she did is affineur – ‘but we were affectionately known as “cheese nanniesâ€?,’ Jenny says, which meant flipping the cheeses, washing the rinds with a salt solution, generally caring for them. She absolutely loved it. ‘Murray’s’, she tells me, ‘is so well-known that many cheesemakers send their cheeses un-aged to Murray’s to age, knowing the great job they did.’ Diminutive, doll-like, Jenny Eastwood does not look as if she has a thing for cheese (it’s genetics and gym, I learn). And yet there would be little about it she does not know; there is always cheese in her refrigerator; she eats it every single day. She’s not yet sure, in this brand new life, what she can do with this ‘skill-set’ – this combined with her film industry one – but to any cheese-lover like myself she can only enrich our community. After all, a meal without cheese, as 17th century French philosopher and gourmand Brillat-Savarin once said, is like a beautiful woman with only one eye...

Info: 0404 495 638

Boral Timber Fibre Exports (BTFE) continues to work towards certification of its wood supply under FSC STD40-005. This includes revising Boral’s approach to the evaluation of High Conservation Values (HCVs) in the Forest Management Units (FMUs) from which Boral receives wood. Boral’s revised approach takes into account advice from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and others. The approach outlined as ‘proposed Annex 3’ in the Manual and the location of FMUs can be found at www.boral.com.au/timber/fsccontrolledwood Boral is seeking consultation with interested and affected stakeholders about (1) the approach proposed by Annex 3, and (2) HCVs in FMUs. Comments about (1) and/or (2) must be submitted by 29 March, 2013. These can be emailed using the “contact us” link at www.boral.com.au/timber/fsccontrolledwood or mailed to: FSC Consultation, Boral Timber Fibre Exports Pty Ltd, PO Box 314, Mayfield NSW 2304.

News Extra

Ballina man did not assault police: cop Sydney AAP

A policeman who admits he wrongly accused Ballina Aboriginal man Corey Barker of assault says he and other officers shared their accounts of the incident before he prepared his official statement. Constable Luke Mewing was giving evidence on Thursday before the Police Integrity Commission (PIC) in Sydney, which is inquiring into the arrest and prosecution of the 24-year-old on police assault charges that were subsequently dismissed by a magistrate. The young officer said he was taught the practice by his field training officer. Six officers prepared written statements that Mr Barker started the fracas with a punch. Four of them later confirmed that evidence in Ballina Local Court. Const Mewing said it was

standard practice in the Richmond local area command for officers to share their statements in preparing their evidence, and Sen Const Hill’s statement had been emailed to him. The PIC heard the officers’ written statements were nearly identical in referring to offensive language Mr Barker had allegedly used before the police station incident. Mr Barker had been charged with intervening in a violent street confrontation between two of his friends and police at Ballina in January 2011. He was also charged that evening with punching Senior Constable David Hill at Ballina police station during a brutal struggle in which police kicked him in the head, kneed his torso and dragged him to a cell where he was left handcuffed for one hour and 40 minutes.

All the charges against Mr Barker were eventually dropped. Const Mewing said his field training officer had taught him to share statements among officers who were present at the same incidents. ‘He told you that was the appropriate way to go?’ Mr Rushton asked. ‘I believe so,’ he responded. Cnst Mewing was later shown CCTV evidence, previously thought to be damaged, which showed Mr Barker did not throw a punch. On Thursday, Cnst Mewing admitted his written statement and court evidence were incorrect. ‘That evidence was just wrong, wasn’t it?’ counsel assisting the PIC hearing Stephen Rushton, SC, said. ‘I guess so,’ Const Mewing said.

‘You knew that it was wrong when you gave it?’ Mr Rushton said. ‘I believed it at the time that I saw [the incident].’ He denied deliberately fabricating evidence. Const Mewing said he delivered a ‘knee strike’ to Mr Barker while he and four other officers had him pinned to the ground. ‘It’s a move, a weaponscontrol strike, for pain compliance,’ he told the PIC. Statements from the officers said Mr Barker was dragged because he would not comply with a command to stand up. Giving evidence previously, Const Mewing had admitted the prisoner would not have been able to stand up. The inquiry continues this week with evidence from other officers involved in the incident.

Skimming device nabs Byron bank users Up to 200 people may have been victims of a skimming device fitted to the Byron Bay branch of St George Bank, it has been revealed. The bank detected a series of unusual transactions last week and subsequently discovered the skimmer had been fitted to one of its ATMs. The device included a camera for recording the PINs of card users. The cards were blocked by the bank for security reasons and new ones reissued. A spokesperson for St

George said the bank will reimburse customers for any money stolen from their accounts. ‘It would appear that‌ having fitted [the device] they probably produced a series of counterfeit cards,’ he told ABC radio. Security expert Bill Caelli from QUT says you can protect yourself by observing unusual machines. The ATM panel should be flush and not protrude in any way. If it does sit out then it’s likely the ATM has been tampered with.

Devil of a time in Byron Metricon’s season opens Stuart Amos

The Byron Bay Red Devils are looking ahead to the new season with great anticipation with the fielding of three strong sides in the NRRRL competition. Coaches Scott Sattler and Nathan Cross have already established a strong relationship with the players in their preseason preparation, with major emphasis on the players having fun at training while at the same time establishing modern structures and drills, with particular efforts being placed on the under 18s who are also being mentored by a number of the senior players. It’s great to see players al-

ready attending training but as always new players will be made welcome. Byron Red Devils are pictured handing over a cheque for $1,500 to the Byron Hospital Auxiliary. The Auxiliary does a wonderful job collecting gate takings during home games. It’s a great relationship – two community based organisations working together. Club president Damon McCarthy is with Maureen Weir from the Byron Hospital Auxiliary and club treasurer Connor Crichton and head coach Nathan Cross. Joy Taylor and Lorraine Gilmore from Byron Hospital Auxiliary are in the back row.

Metricon Stadium on the Gold Coast hosted the NAB Cup on Saturday night. With the Suns v Hawks then the Hawks v Lions, the final match saw fellow QLD rivals Lions and Suns playing a prelude to the much awaited Queensland Clash. Almost 8,000 punters came out to see the games. Not much needs to be said about Suns captain Gary Ablett except that he looks primed for another season of absolutely elite football. Still quick, ultra fit, he looked a cut above every other player on the field every time he went near the ball, which was plenty – seven possessions in the first half, six in the second, each of them to his team’s advantage. Some would have been asking what has happened to Karmichael Hunt, who has shed another nine kilos and was involved in the games throughout, though he still looked to give the ball away by hand rather than finding the foot option. The Suns looked set to draw the first game against the Hawks but on the siren kicked a much

The Echo and Echonetdaily in conjunction with the Gold Coast Titans are looking for junior sportswriters to cover home games during the 2013 NRL season. Junior players from local rugby clubs are invited to apply and will be offered the chance to participate in the Cadet Journalist program and write a story that will be published in The Echo and Echonetdaily .

Junior reporters will be hosted at Skilled Park home games and will be given a subject on which they will write about 200 words for publication. Subjects will vary from a day in the life of a player to what sort of preparation the coach will put the team through. To apply for a cadetship, simply email, with parental permission, your name, age and club to sport@echo.net.au.

needed point to the cheers of the stadium to see them edge out the Hawks in game one: 0.4.6 (30) to 0.4.5 (29). The Brisbane Lions gatecrashed the Gold Coast’s party in game three, backing up from a 21 point pounding of Hawthorn in the previous with a 2.6.3 (57) to 0.3.6 (24) win over the Suns and not a great deal more can be said except it was a scrappy performance by the Suns minus Ablett and it’s back to the drawing board.

The aftermath of a flood event is a traumatic time with resources stretched and emotions strained, making it vital that people plan their approach to cleaning up carefully to avoid costly mistakes and further financial challenges. The priority for most people is to get back into their property, to clean it up and to start repairing the damage as soon as possible. While generous offers of assistance will fuel initial enthusiasm, lasting mistakes can be made if this process isn’t clearly understood. It is a mistake, for example, to assume that once the debris has been cleared away repair work can start immediately. The real purpose of a clean-up is to fully expose the building so its condition can be carefully checked and so it can begin to dry out. The clean-up process, then, is a sequence of events that must begin with certification by a licensed electrical contractor that power can be safely reconnected to the building.

Once this is done, debris removal can commence. However, there are things that need to be considered during the clean-up process, particularly in relation to safety, drying and building integrity. Floodwater will have a significant effect on building materials like particleboard, fibreboard, plasterboard and fibrous materials like insulation and carpets. Keep in mind that very little of your internal fitout is likely to be salvageable. When the bulk of the debris has been removed, an assessment by an independent structural engineer is critical to establish the extent to which the structure or the foundations of the building have been affected. If the structure of the building is sound, repair can be considered, but if the building is deemed to be unsound there is little point in progressing with the clean up until further decisions are made. Until independent written advice has been provided by a

registered structural engineer, NO decisions should be made regarding repair. A structural engineer is the ONLY person qualified to provide you with this advice. After a structural engineer has inspected your property,

you may want to talk to a building expert about the next step of your flood recovery. This article was sourced from www.archicentre.com.au. For advice on particular building matters call Archicentre on 1300 134 513.

For more information visit www.jindibah-community.org. Harry was well known for building the swimming hole on the property in the 1920s, hosted learn to swim classes, horse riding programs, dancing in the hall, scout camps and open air concerts in the 70s with Australian bands like INXS, Rose Tattoo and Jimmy Barnes. Jindibah residents have set up a permanent exhibition on the history of the property at Harry’s beloved dance hall. The timber cottage retains many of its original features, high timber ceilings, polished timber floors, good size bathroom and country style ‘eat in’ kitchen ready for renovation.

An Anti Virus Guard (AVG) Technologies newsletter reveals the case of a trojan developed by an 11 year old Canadian child to steal game login information. As AVG notes, in a world filled with laptops, tablets and smartphones, today’s children become digitally fluent far earlier than previous generations. The company emphasises that online gaming accounts are often connected to credit card details to enable in game purchases, and so ‘although junior programmers are motivated mainly by the thrill of outwitting their peers, rather than financial gain, it is logical to assume that at least some of those responsible will be tempted to experiment with much more serious cyber crimes.’ Imagine: your 11 year old may be a criminal IT Napoleon. ‘Go to your room, Julian, and don’t come downstairs until you’ve hacked Metgasco.’ Q Q Q Q
