include: a maximum of four drinks per person after midnight; no cocktails after midnight; no energy drinks with alcohol after 2am; and no ready mixed drinks with higher than five per cent alcohol at any time. Venues trading after 2am have each agreed to employ a minimum of one RSA marshal on Saturday nights under the trial. Large ‘goon bags’ will also be a thing of the past, with members’ bottle shops agreeing to withdraw wine casks of more than two litres and ultra cheap cleanskins. Tweed-Byron Local Area Command acting Inspector Saul Wiseman declined to comment on the proposals. He told The Echo the police had ‘one continued on page 3

Shock waves are still reverberating in the Byron Bay Cookie Company after eight Byron Bay and four Sydney staff lost their jobs last Thursday. Administrators moved in last week on the company, owned by Gordon Slater’s Slater International, following an investigation by the Australian Tax Office (ATO). According to court documents, the company owes around $1.2 million in unpaid Business Activity Statement, Pay As You Go taxes (PAYG), GST and fringe benefits tax. More astonishingly, it’s emerged from the ATO’s investigation that the company has failed to pay its workers’ superannuation for many years. That is just one of a long list of allegations of mismanagement, including that the company failed to pay suppliers on time, or in some cases failed to pay them at all. The Echo understands that no other company owned by Slater International is being investigated by the ATO. That includes the retail division of Byron Bay Cookie Company and Byron Bay Gourmet Foods. Former employees from the company, who wished to remain anonymous, confirmed with The Echo that their superannuation was not paid for at least two years. ‘Despite our payslips indicating that we were being paid super,’ said one, ‘the administrators on Thursday said we were unlikely to receive anything.’ They also said that they were keen to regain employment at the company and want to go back to work. ‘I loved my job and the people I worked with,’ one said. ‘It was a good team, brand and product. If asked to come back I would. We all desperately want the company saved.’

Another said, ‘We want Byron Bay Cookies to continue as it’s a great company. We all love working there and consider ourselves a family. We really need the support of our community to bring us through.’ But as for management, all were critical. Another ex-employee said, ‘[CEO] Gordon Slater had a chance to save the company but he didn’t. The last time he was here was six months ago and he didn’t meet with any factory staff.’ They also said that both Mr Slater and company director Jacqueline Schurig offered no apologies for the company’s collapse, nor any thanks for their work. As for the way in which the dismissals were handled by administrators, an ex-employee said that, ‘All staff were assembled in the office where we were told what was going on and in the end, eight names were called out. We were then brought into the boardroom where we were told we were officially retrenched while being told that, “It isn’t personal.” “This is personal to us”, one said.’ ‘This has not only affected us but our families. Some of us have mortgages – one woman had worked there for 15 years.’ All shared concerns for the wellbeing and future work prospects of the remaining employees. ‘There is a complete sense of shock and everyone is worried.’

Former employee speaks Another ex-employee, Jackie Castellano, also told The Echo she is owed superannuation for her time at the company. Ms Castellano says she was originally employed to ‘clean up’ the accounts and the ‘franchise bookwork for the David Jones stores.’ Instead, continued on page 2

she claims she was misdirected ‘into a customer services role’, and worked between November 2011 and February 2012. She told The Echo, ‘I need to highlight foremost that the staff members are wonderful people – they are passionate about the product and love their jobs. I love and respect them all.’ She says that while the workers are ‘loyal to the bone and hardworking honest local people,’ the company lacked adequate management. ‘At times the courier companies would not arrive due to non payment. So even if the goods were baked and boxed they could not be shipped until the money was received. The local telephone repair man would come to fix the phone system begrudgingly and grumble that he shouldn’t even answer our calls due to non payment. The lady suppyling the sanitary bins in the ladies’ toilet did not get paid on time. ‘It got to the point where I was checking my bank account

each Thursday morning to see if my pay had been deposited. It was always down to the wire – a Qantas order would need to be baked, boxed and shipped “like now” and there would be no funds, no ingredients… then “wham”, all of a sudden money would arrive into the bank and it would be all systems go to fill the order.’ Ms Castellano says she compiled the November and December 2011 monthly commercial reports, ‘highlighting that the company was not paying its debts as they fell due; that the superannuation liability was continuing to increase and that no payments had yet been made. This report was forwarded to management, who quickly told me not to mention these issues. But I was not prepared to remove them as it was prudent that the directors were advised.’ She believes that her comments were deleted by management before the final draft was issued. She added, ‘I truly hope and pray that this beloved company can be saved and the

workers can remain employed.’ Comments were sought from CEO Gordon Slater and director Jacqueline Schurig regarding Ms Castellano’s claims, however they instead responded with a general statement about the voluntary administation.

Talks of expansion Despite the court action, Mr Slater and director, Jacqueline Schurig are still attempting to talk up overseas expansion plans. Ms Schurig distanced the expansion plans from the court action, telling media last week, ‘The court notice has been issued to only the manufacturing arm of the company, so it has nothing to do with the franchising aspect.’ She also claimed that the appointment of administrators was, ‘an opportunity to restructure the manufacturing division.’

Unhappy supplier But Australian Packaging managing director Ray Cranfield isn’t so happy. He is quoted on www.foodmag.com.au as saying his company, ‘always

had trouble with payments,’ and that the company ‘owes Australian Packaging $33,000 alone.’ ‘If a liquidator had been appointed there may be an opportunity for us to recover some trade… and be able to continue with them, but I suppose I’m more upset that he’s been ra-raing his company in the media and saying how terrific the company is and how excited he is about his business, but he’s taken a lot of Australian and overseas companies for their money. You get very angry about those sort of things,’ he said. ‘Small companies like mine get hurt very, very badly when you take $33,000 off the bottom line. I’ve got to pay my employees tomorrow and I will because I’ll most probably have to go into my private savings to do it. I bet this bloke’s not doing that.’ The administrators, Chartered Accountants Lawler Partners, said in a statement that creditors will meet on March 19 and the company will continue to trade for the time being.

2 March 12, 2013 The Byron Shire Echo

After ten days and more than 200 screenings the 2013 Byron International Film Festival (BBFF) drew to a close on Saturday night. The votes were counted, and the winner was Otelo Burning by Surfing Soweto’s Sara Blecher. It is one of the most talkedabout films from South Africa, winning The Owners Club at Linnaeus Best Film Award, the Byron Bay Coffee Company Best Dramatic Feature Award and the Tavarus Best Surf Film Award. Screening to a packed house, this powerful and emotionally charged film took audiences into a society teetering on the brink of radical social change in 1989 with the ending of apartheid. Blecher was thrilled by the awards: ‘We’ve screened Otelo Burning around the world at scores of festivals but we’re especially stoked to have the film

recognised at the Byron Bay International Film Festival. ‘We really tried to capture that feeling of freedom in the film and if the surfers bought it, it means we achieved that’. Australian-Egyptian comedian and Byron local Akmal Saleh’s debut documentary film, Pharaoh vs The Egyp-

tians, picked up the highly coveted Echo Best Byron Film award, which includes a prize of three nights’ accommodation at ultra-luxurious private beachfront estate, The Owner’s Club at Linnaeus, plus an iPad Mini from Mullum Mac. The blistering documentary about the Arab Spring

received a standing ovation from audiences at its sold-out screening last weekend. Brilliant opening night film, The World Before Her, directed by Nisha Pahuja, won the Screenzone Byron International Documentary Prize of $5,000 cash. It’s a lively, provocative portrait of the world’s largest democracy at a critical transitional moment, and provides immense insight into the changing identity of women in India through two opposing groups with a common dream of equality. Among the other awards, the title of Young Australian Filmmaker Of The Year went to talented rising star from Melbourne, Lucy McKendrick, for her short film Toombaworth, which tells the story of young woman Tayla and her friend Maggie, and the drugs and society that rob them of a childhood.

World Café Society to be held March 13 An outcome from the Community Forum on Thursday February 21 was a commitment to host a World Café Society event to develop ideas to address the matters that have been raised at the three forums following this year’s NYE in Byron Bay. The World Café Society is a conference process that recognises that most good ideas occur outside sessions during breaks, or over a coffee in a cafe when people can talk together about the things that matter to them. On Wednesday March 13, The Byron Community Centre will be sponsoring Byron’s own

World Café Society event. The Byron World Café calls for independent, open minded personalities to be involved in a public conversation. People are invited to register for one of two sessions, each going for two hours that will be held at 11am and 6pm in the Byron Theatre. Over the two hours, attendees will be able to participate in three short rounds of discussion that will explore ideas for addressing the challenges facing our community. Each session will be limited to 64 participants and the sessions are designed to give each

<echowebsection=Local News>

person an opportunity to contribute. The sessions will ask questions such as: 1. How do we make our streets vibrant and safe at night? 2. How does Byron Bay manage Schoolies and NYE to everyone’s benefit? 3. How do we make Byron Bay township a beautiful place? 4. How do we care for our natural environment? 5. How do we preserve our residential neighbourhoods and foster community? 6. How do people move into and around Byron Bay?

7. How do we support young people in our town? 8. How do we broaden Byron Bay’s economic base? The nature of World Café Society events is that it is not about negotiating, exchanging opinions or allocating blame – it is about developing ideas to ensure everyone can enjoy living in or visiting Byron Bay. All outcomes will be recorded and reported back to the next community forum planned for 6pm Thursday March 21 at the Byron Theatre. To book, visit www.byroncentre.com.au. www.echo.net.au

Staff recommend Byron KFC refusal

Seniors Week

Byron Shire Council staff have recommended refusing the KFC development application (DA) for a store in Byron Bay in a report which comes to Council this Thursday. The recommendation is to refuse the DA due to insufficient car parking. Council’s executive manager of planning Ray Darney said the applicant had applied to fit out out an existing tenancy in Jonson Street as a food shop and restaurant. He said the main concern was car parking which was inadequate when

assessed under the Development Control Pan 2010 and the objectives of the 3(a) Business Zone under Byron Local Environmental Plan 1988.Â

Car parking concern The land use proposed within the development application falls short by 7.39 car spaces. Mr Darney said there is no available space to increase car parking numbers on site and while the payment of parking section 94 developer contributions is available in Byron Bay, the applicant has not offered

this alternative. ‘There are other concerns relating to signage and toilet facilities, but these could have been addressed by consent conditions,’ he said. Council has received two submissions in support, one neutral, 347 objecting and five petitions in objection to the development with a total of 4,197 signatures.

BYS and mayor welcome measures Byron Youth Service (BYS) director Di Mahoney welcomed the new measures but said some areas didn’t go far enough. ‘I think the measures need to be mandatory and not voluntary with the licensing police responsible for monitoring,’ she told The Echo. ‘I am assuming that these are what BBLA has volunteered to implement, though it still seems unclear how the measures will be evaluated – by whom and how.’ Ms Mahoney has also encouraged BBLA to make a financial contribution to some of the programs that she claims help to increase community safety. ‘For example, supporting the Street Cruise program, funding transport options, getwww.echo.net.au

I’d like to see more support for Cringe the Binge from the BBLA and members.’ Mayor Simon Richardson also told The Echo, ‘It is a positive step in the right direction. ‘Although the measures will only be effective if everyone does it. That is why a voluntary, self regulating body is generally a flawed system of management. Lockouts will only be successful if every venue upholds it, as the power of it is that it strengthens the police’s ability to move people on. Basically, you have to be somewhere: either in a venue or going home. Hanging around isn’t an option. However, if say Cheekies doesn’t follow it, punters can just say they are

getting some air before going to Cheekies.’ He also questioned why buying four drinks near closing time couldn’t be limited to two. ‘Instead of a culture of one person getting a shout, it will just change to two people, but four drinks at a time in the last hour will still lead to hoarding drinks.’

The announcement by the BBLA follows a series of public meetings in the town, which effectively accused the Accord of sitting on its hands over the issue, and the direct intervention of the OLGR and local police in targeting six venues that had been serving minors or engaging in inappropriate drinking promotions. :,11(5 ´5HVWDXUDQW RI WKH <HDU ¾ :,11(5 ´%<2 5HVWDXUDQW RI WKH <HDU ¾ ),1$/,67 ´2IIVLWH :HGGLQJ &DWHUHU ¾

Your bike can be decorated with reclaimed beach refuse supplied by ‘Positive Change for Marine Life’, and then entered in the parade. ‘The idea behind this year’s Marine precinct started with wanting to revamp our bike parade,’ said Linda Hibbard, bike activity co-ordinator. ‘We looked at ways we could make it easier for families to decorate their bikes at the festival and draw inspiration from the festival and the natural environment.’ Art Bikes from Shearwater will provide breathtaking examples of just what can be achieved when decorating bikes. Their display will include a ‘Steam Punk’ pedal powered vehicle and a hand made penny farthing. Further inspiration for bud-

CSG one of the largest 100 stocks She says shareholders in coal seam gas companies can also voice their opinion at annual general meetings (AGM), or find out if there is a shareholder action group you can join. ‘If you decide to join the growing number of investors who are moving their money away from activities like coal seam gas, you’ll be in good company,’ she says. ‘The latest figures from the Responsible Investment Association Australasia (RIAA) say that, “The responsible investment sector today forms approximately 18 per cent of total assets under management in Australia, amounting to $180 billion (including New Zealand). “Performance of ethical

The best performing Australian share fund in the country was an ethically screened share fund beating mainstream share fund competitors. ‘The past performance of ethical share funds has also been strong over the long term.’ The Average Responsible Investment Australian Share Fund returned 8.38 per cent compared to 8.38 per cent for the ASX 300 Accumulation Index and 7.63 per cent for the Average Mainstream Australian Share Fund.

What hidden fossil fuel investments lurk in your superannuation? The Responsible Investment Association Australasia has reminded the workforce that those against coal seam gas (CSG) may unwittingly be investing in CSG via their superannuation fund. Ethical investment adviser Louise Edkins told The Echo, ‘If you are in a retail superannuation fund, industry superannuation fund or in any of the large managed funds in the country, then you will probably be investing in coal seam gas. ‘This is because the coal seam gas companies are among the largest 100 stocks in the country in which these funds have an investment allocation.’ But Ms Edkins says the good news is that there are ways to take action. ‘Write to your superannuation fund and ask them to avoid investing in coal seam gas,’ she says. ‘Consider the ethical investment choice in your superannuation fund (if one is offered). Consult a specialist ethical investment adviser so that you can get transparency and control over the investments you own. ‘If you have your own share portfolio, consult a specialist www.echo.net.au

A gift towards A new hall for Shearwater finding a cure Greg Parkes

Paul ‘Rocket’ Flesser has donated a Grange Hermitage for auction and proceeds will go towards the Cancer Council. Photo Jeff ‘Isn’t Life Grange?’ Dawson Story & Photo Jeff Dawson

While Rocket’s not a rich man, he owns bottle of wine fit for a king. Paul ‘Rocket’ Flesser’s breakfast of choice is a bacon and egg roll and a Ginger Necktar from the Chinny Store in Mullum and then he’s off to wherever his day’s concreting work leads him. When he heard the store’s owner Karen Barnham was determined to raise $5,000 for cancer research by shaving her head and organising an auction at Relay For Life, he knew he wanted to help. At the turn of the millennium, Rocket bought a 1997 bottle of Grange Hermitage for

$400 and he’s given it to Karen to auction. He figures, ‘It’ll fetch a good price now, and will taste even sweeter to the person who buys it knowing they’ve contributed to the search for a cancer cure.’ There aren’t many people who haven’t been touched by cancer; especially Karen who lost a mother, brother and father in law. For the auction, Karen has also been given one of Adam Gilchrest’s custom built cricket bats and racing driver Greg Murphy’s Kelly Racing Team t-shirt. All three, including the Grange, will be auctioned at 7pm at the Relay For Life event

this Saturday at the Mullum footy field. Anyone wishing to join the auction by phone should contact the Chincogan Store on 6684 2214 prior to the auction for the contact details. It’s all part of the Cancer Council NSW community fundraising Relay For Life event, which aims to raise money for Cancer Council NSW’s research, education, prevention and support programs. It is a fun overnight event, with the challenge of completing a relay style walk/run within a festival atmosphere and will be held on Saturday and Sunday March 16 and 17.

Last week Shearwater Steiner School celebrated the formal opening of the federally funded BER hall and school sports complex. Students, staff and parents were joined by official guests chief financial officer of the association of independent schools David Buley, mayor Simon Richardson, project superintendent Peter Reed, a representitive from the architects, Andrew Webb, and Steve Marias, and Matt Ravenwood from CONDEV Constructions, the builders of the hall. In addition, past and present school directors and staff crucial to the success of the project were able to attend, and receive thanks and recognition for their tenacity and commitment to see the project through! These honoured guests included current board directors Leo Bruns-Smit and Wroth Wall and former directors Heather Martin and Charlie Starrett, along with Tani Shaw, former project officer and Jan Roskott, former school development officer. Unable to attend the opening were Michael Carr, deputy executive director of the AIS, and Richmond MP Justine Elliot, who supported the application for the reinstatement of the BER funding.

From left, Andrew Webb (from WD and Associates, the hall’s architects), project officer Tani Shaw, business and finance manager Ty Dickson and project superintendent Peter Reed.

When the school moved to its current site in 1993 the whole school community would gather under a few huge camphor laurel trees next to the current hall site. Shearwater is now able to gather and host events undercover – this building and associated infrastructure was part of the federal government’s stimulus package, the ‘BER’ Building the Education Revolution funding.

During the opening there were performances from secondary students ‘Shear-talent’, including a string ensemble, a ukulele ensemble and exquisite singing of an Indigenous song. Shearwater’s new performance hall provides a welcoming gesture to the school. It is an asset students and community will benefit from for many years to come. Q Greg Parkes is principal of

Just how local is your local supermarket? cantly over the past decade or so, and customers no longer shop once a week. ‘They now do smaller shops on an almost daily basis. They are looking for fresher produce that will make that great meal for that night. We receive fresh local produce each day to cater for that demand.’

Eve Jeffery

The question of sustainability encompasses the issues of both food miles as well as the idea that communities need to pull together to support local business. The concept of sustainable shopping only works if the local items are available to put in your trolley. A quick survey of grocery outlets in the Byron shire returned some interesting if not unexpected results.Â

Woolworths Woolworths launched their ‘local food sourcing strategy’ in mid January. Many of the products were supplied from within Australia but still weren’t sourced close to stores, unless you consider anything from three up to 278 outlets your ‘local supermarket’. Their representative did tell The Echo that she would get back to us with the names of local products in the Mullumbimby and Byron stores, but three weeks later we are still waiting.

Ocean Shores Coles Another big chain outlet in the shire is Coles in Ocean Shores (owned by Wesfarmers), who said that the Pippo family at Fresh@Heart and Byron Bay Peaches and Nectarines both supply to their Ocean Shores store. ‘Coles is also delighted to source our Coles brand ice cream from Norco’s factory in South Lismore to provide to shoppers across Australia’, said Coles rep Juila Balderstone. ‘Norco, in turn, sources product from farms in the Byron Bay region.’ Ms Baldertone says that Coles is keen to increase its supply of local produce for customers and will be holding a ‘meet the buyer’ event in NSW this year to enable local producers to show our team of buyers their product.

Peering down the aisles: Eve Jeffery asks local supermarkets what local produce they stock.

Byron Bay Aldi Aldi in Byron Bay is the latest addition to the shire’s supermarket outlets, but said that they preferred not to participate in this story.

Byron Supa IGA It would appear that the smaller the supermarket, the more likely it will stock locally sourced products. Bucking that trend however is the Byron Supa IGA, who say they stock plenty of local fresh food items including macadamias, bananas, mushrooms, lettuce, peaches and nectarines, and sprouts. In the deli they also supply turkish bread, local small goods, dips, hummus, mousse, yoghurts and at least five varieties of beverages and even sauerkraut.

Mullum’s IGA Mullum’s IGA reports at least 36 product lines, excluding seasonal local fruit and veg produce. Store manager Daniel Tiffin told The Echo they carry a range of local coffees (Rosebank, Bun, Byron Bay Bean Coffee), Byron Chai, honey from Byron and Tyagarah, muesli (Brookfarm Byron Bay Muesli, Powerstart muesli), Salumi smallgoods, Bangalow pork and bacon,

Mount Warning chicken sausages, ham and bacon, Alstonville eggs, locally made pizzas, pies, Byron Ginger Necktar, hummus, Nimbin cheese, Byron Bay Chili Company (chips, dips and salsa), Jordan’s Bread, Byron Bay Chocolates, Byron Sauerkraut, Humble pies, Red Dragon products and Mullumbimby Magic Dressing.

at any time since the end of the Ice Age, no matter what greenhouse gas emission scenario is used, the study found. ‘We already knew that on a global scale, Earth is warmer today than it was over much of the past 2,000 years,’ says Shaun Marcott, the lead author of the study, which was published in Science. ‘Now we know that it is warmer than most of the past 11,300 years. This is of particular interest because the Holocene spans the entire period of human civilisation.’ The data show that temperatures cooled by 0.8ÂşC over the past 5,000 years, but have been rising again in the past 100 years, particularly in the northern hemisphere where land masses and population

Ben Kinzl from the Spar in Suffolk Park says they try to stock as many local products as possible. ‘In regards to fruit and veg, we have probably 20 local farmers that supply us with everything from stonefruit, lettuces, herbs, garlic, avos, watermelon, corn, greens, and so on’, he says. ‘In the grocery lines, we stock everything from the big branded local products such as Brookfarm Muesli to smaller homemade products such as Richmond Hill Sauces. ‘We would have over 200 local products in store, which are featured throughout our range, including local drinks, cereals, nuts, pizzas, meats, health and beauty products, cleaning products, sweets, ice-creams, sauces, eggs and much more.’

Earth to be hottest in a millennium: study Our Earth is on track to becoming the hottest it has been at any time in the past 11,000 years, a period spanning the history of human civilisation, a new study says. Based on fossil samples and other data collected from 73 sites around the world, scientists have been able to reconstruct the history of the planet’s temperature from the end of the last Ice Age around 11.3 millennia ago to the present. They have determined that the past 10 years have been hotter than 80 per cent of the past 11,300 years. But virtually all the climate models evaluated by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predict that the Earth’s atmosphere will be hotter in the coming decades than www.echo.net.au

centres are larger. The climate models project that average global temperatures will rise by 1.1ÂşC to 6.3ÂşC by the end of the century, depending on the level of carbon dioxide emissions resulting from human activities, the researchers said. ‘What is most troubling is that this warming will be significantly greater than at any time during the past 11,300 years,’ said Peter Clark, a paleoclimatologist at Oregon State University. The Earth’s position with respect to the sun is the main natural factor affecting temperatures during that time, the scientists said. Other studies have concluded that human activities – not natural causes – have been responsible for the warming experienced over the past 50 years.

when her first announcement was of a national plan to crack down on gangs. Julia, they sniggered, was going to The Rooter for a gang bang. This plan set the tone for the week; it was an intrusion into an area which was the responsibility of the states, and would therefore require the cooperation of the premiers, most of whom were likely to be reluctant if not downright hostile. And while it played nicely to the

no evidence of serious rorting of the scheme; a few complaints of the foreigners being underpaid, but stories of Australians missing out on jobs were purely anecdotal. If they could have been substantiated, undoubtedly the unions would have done so. And given that her own office guru the Scot John McTernan was in Australia on a 457 visa, her onslaught seemed more than a touch inconsistent. But once again, it was not about fact, it was

It must have taken real dedication to cram so many errors, gaffes and downright embarrassments into a single expedition. by Mungo MacCallum fears of the west about a massive crime wave, these were in fact illusory; across the board crime in every category was declining, not increasing. But as was to become clear, this trip had little to do with facts. On Monday Gillard took her massive entourage to a traffic island for an elaborately staged press conference, most of which was drowned out by the heavy traffic. Perhaps this was just as well; the promise was for $1 billion towards the WestConnex road scheme but it was hedged around with conditions that made it unacceptable to Premier Barry O’Farrell and traffic experts alike. And then to a meeting of the carefully vetted faithful, where all pretence at balance and reality was abandoned with a swingeing attack on the 457 visa scheme to bring in foreign workers to fill jobs that Australians were unqualified or unwilling to undertake. The foreigners, Gillard, vowed, would go to the back of the queue. Well, actually they were already there and in any case there was

did have dinner at The Rooter, but not in the bistro – she took a private room to host a few supportive female bloggers dragged from the eastern and northern suburbs. She could hardly have given a more comprehensive finger to the westies whose hearts and minds she was supposed to be winning. At the end of the week she finally emerged from the protective cocoon in which her minders had encased her and mingled with a few of the punters, most of whom appeared quite pleased to see her. But it was all too little and too late. The impression was etched in stone: the prime minister had not been visiting her home turf, she had been slumming it. It need not have been thus: Gillard is by nature and inclination a westie, she lives in and represents a constituency in Melbourne’s west – hell, she even sounds like a westie. She should have been a natural fit. And the contrast with Tony Abbott, the silvertail from the farflung northern beaches, should have been stark: why, just last week Abbott had promised public funds to refurbish Brookvale Oval, home to the hated arch-enemy, the Manly Sea Eagles. He should have been tarred and feathered before being run out of town on a rail. But for much of the week he tailed Gillard around the west, and ended up by declaring the territory won: not only was it no longer Labor heartland, it was well on the way to becoming the new Liberal heartland. Absurdly, he was the one who looked relaxed and comfortable while the prime minister looked as if she couldn’t wait to get back to the haven of Kirribilli House. When you’re hot, you’re hot. And when you’re not, you’re Julia Gillard.

about feeding prejudice. Critics accused Gillard of the same xenophobic dog-whistling she had rightly deplored during the previous week, when, after one alleged offence by one man on a bridging visa, the Liberal immigration spokesthing, Scott Morrison, had demanded that all asylum seekers should be treated like convicted paedophiles. Diplomats warned that Gillard was sending the wrong message to our trading partners and particularly to our near neighbours in Asia. But Pauline Hanson enthusiastically endorsed her comments. With friends like these ... Next day Gillard deserted the west for Melbourne to attend the funeral of Joan Child, the first woman to become speaker of the House of Representatives and a personal friend and mentor; fair enough, but she then flew back to Sydney for a $1,500 a head fundraising dinner at a Q See Mungo live at harbourside mansion, not such a good look.

Moving residents

Something doesn’t seem quite right to me about the council attempt to move residents back from the foreshore in the Terrace Caravan Park. Will the main benefit flow to the environment and the broader community or to a few vocal residents living nearby? At what cost to those generally less well-off people in the Park? Garth Luke

Get a legrope

Thirty-five years ago a loose surfboard put me in hospital with a gash to my thigh, requiring surgery. Checking out the surf at The Pass, I counted fifty surfers. Five of the surfers were riding longboards with no legropes. I went surfing at The Pass this morning and there were ten people riding longboards with no legropes. This seems like a new trend and I wonder how long it will be until someone gets hurt by a loose longboard. Please, surfers that think it is cool to not use a legrope, go and surf where it is not so crowded. Ian Brown

The 14 hectare property with the Brunswick River on its entire southern boundary is managed by the Department of Lands through the Mullumbimby Showground Trust, a volunteer community based board of management. It is used by groups like pony vlubs, the Mullum Farmers Market, Spaghetti Circus, provides camping space for local events such as the Mullum Music and Spirit Festivals and

has hosted annual agricultural shows since the early 1900s. Currently the Department of Lands is funding a plan of management due for completion mid 2013. The Trust is looking for three more members and applications will close on March 26. The ad appeared on page 12 of The Echo of February 26. To see this fantastic asset managed for all in the community and to ensure it remains under local community management it would be great to have a cross-section of the

local community on the Trust as well as the specific user groups. This is an opportunity for talented and visionary community members to apply to join the Trust and help invigorate the showground for our community into the future. Your showground needs you!

The consequences of ignorance Re Article by David Lovejoy, The Echo, page 16, March 5: ‘Full speed ahead, everyone: the iceberg is imaginary.’ David paints a gloomy picture of our planet in a future choked by the evil CO2 unless we comply with the dictates and propaganda of an elite group of con-artist bankers. I suggest David should do some research on the history of the global warming issue. The Anthropogenic Global Warming hoopla was created in 1992 at the United Nations Earth Summit held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, chaired by oil multi-billionaire Maurice Strong, a protégé of Lord Edmond De Rothschild and associate of David Rockefeller. (Maurice Strong, a Canadian, now lives exiled in China, his involvement in the UN’s ‘oil for food’ scandal not yet resolved). At this meeting 179 countries signed to the UN’s Agenda 21 which outlines, in detail, the UN’s vision for a centrally managed global society. This contract binds governments around the world to the United Nations’ plan for controlling the way we live, eat, learn, move and communicate – all under the noble banner of saving the Earth.

Q

Club of Rome, an elite thinktank of some 300 of the world’s most influential people (David Rockefeller, Gorbachev, etc) working with the UN, noted: ‘In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill …’ Richard Sandor, economist, another AGW associate, indicated environmentalism had to become a profitable business: ‘Air and water are no longer the free goods that economics once assumed. They must be redefined as property rights so that they can be efficiently allocated.’ Carbon has been on this planet since it was created. Earth’s atmosphere contains about 78 per cent nitrogen, 21 per cent oxygen and less than one per cent other gases, including a minuscule 0.0385 per cent CO2 of that one per cent. If you are still convinced that CO2 emissions are a threat then consider this. Every single living tree absorbs CO2 at the rate of 21.772 kg/year and releases enough oxygen to support two humans. (Crops and open grasslands do even better.) Oceans are CO2 sinks also, and represent the largest active

carbon sink on Earth. Australia is surrounded by more ocean than any other country. So if you are concerned about choking on CO2, don’t panic, go and count the trees and measure our coastline and you will find that Australia sequesters far more CO2 than it emits. By the way, even Al Gore doesn’t believe his own spiel. Big Al has walked away from green energy and now has invested in coal-seam gas, gas pipelines and electric power transmissions infrastructure and medicals. See www.thestreet.com/ story/11727215/1/al-gore-walksaway-from-green-energy.html or you can check out his portfolio (GIM) on the NYSE. Keep spreading the news and fear of AGW. It will make the Rothschild banks (GEF, IMF, World Bank) more profitable and very happy. Peggy Balfour

Me and the mayor

At the first council meeting this year the mayor tired of my interjections and suggested that I stop using council meeting as my ‘playground’. Well I do try to inject a bit of humour into otherwise tedious proceedings, but to suggest that I’m therefore frivolous is insulting – and I angrily told him so. I was prepared to let it rest at that but at the next meeting Simon went a step too far. There is a procedure where anyone who wants to speak during Public Access needs to book the day before. I had booked to address two matters on the agenda, make a general submission and ask questions. When it got to question time he pretended that I hadn’t booked any and closed the meeting – being careful, of course, to avoid eye contact. What is it that happens in the brains of our mayors one after the other? In both the state and federal parliaments the importance of Question Time is understood by every-

been on the front page of the paper as it will obviously take constant stark reminders (along with the growing physical evidence) to jolt us into acceptance of the dire threats to our continued existence as a species. I note in today’s SMH that Mr O’Farrell’s misleadingly titled minister for the environment has failed to meet with her own climate change panel for more than a year. She does acknowledge that ‘extreme events’ are becoming beyond the capacity of the state government to deal with but offers no thoughts on the wider picture. This is typical of the ignorant, self-serving approach of our politicians towards anything that does not featherbed the activities of the environmentally destructive vested interests that they rely on to fund their continued tenure in office. In our system of government the politicians follow rather than lead but with the strong inclination of most people to ignore or rationalise the frighteningly obvious, I hold grave fears for our children and grandchildren as they will not escape the consequences of our stupidity. Tom Tabart

Bangalow body; it keeps the administration on its toes and is essential for good governance. Simon seems to think that asking questions is a privilege that can be withdrawn on an ego whim, and that it has no inherent importance. He doesn’t understand that his ‘punishment’ falls not on me but on the public’s right to know. If Simon wants to assert himself with me that’s fine. I would, however, expect him just once in a while to show his toughness to those who are the real problem but who are currently jollying up to him for all they’re worth. I have for Simon the same advice I gave the editor of The Echo recently when he too dumped on me: do your job properly and you’ll hear no more from me. Fast Buck$

like Ben Zygier are complicit in Israel’s violations of international and humanitarian law for, according to the UN special representative of the Secretary-General on Human Rights and Transnational Corporations and Other Business Enterprises, ‘corporations that supply substantial assistance to human rights violators, knowing that their assistance will aid and abet human rights abuses, violate international law’. Earth Rights International adds that ‘a key way to ensure that companies respect human rights is by holding accountable all actors who knowingly aid and abet human rights abuses’. Breaking The Silence, a veterans’ organisation, states, ‘Our testimonies portray a different and much grimmer picture in which deterioration of moral standards finds expression in the character of orders and the rules of engagement, and are justified in the name of Israel’s security’. Why does the Australian government turn a blind eye to its dual citizens aiding and abetting the IDF in its violent repression of the Palestinian people? Don’t the actions of our IDF-enlisted dual citizens compromise Australia’s ratification of international human rights and international law conventions? The Australia/Israel and Jewish Affairs Council have organised all-expenses paid trips to Israel for politicians, journalists, trade and student union leaders for over a decade. Why is this endorsement of pariah state Israel allowed? Why are Israeli companies complicit in the exploitation of Palestinian land allowed to trade in Australia?

Burning the future David Rowlands’ suggestion (Letters, March 5) that we should convert power stations to run on coal seam gas is nonsense. While the burning of gas may reduce CO2 emissions by up to 50 per cent, there is no evidence that the extraction, transport and use of coal seam gas will reduce emissions at all. The reason is that this extraction, transport and use of gas leads to leaks of gas to the atmosphere, and methane, the main constituent of this gas, is up to 100 times as strong a greenhouse gas as CO2 over a 20 year time frame. If only a few per cent of the gas is leaked to the atmosphere, any benefit of burning it would be negated. Further, the money spent converting power stations to burn gas would have to be recouped, thus adding years or

Mullumbimby Q David Rowlands suggests we embrace CSG to reduce our carbon emissions. While I agree with his observation that massive energy is required to sustain our current industrial lifestyle and his opinion that nuclear power is unacceptable to many Australians, I cannot endorse his suggested solution. For a start, CSG is a fossil fuel and a more potent greenhouse gas than CO2. Much of the coal seam gas released

rainfall records for Rockhampton, Bundaberg, Gympie, Brisbane, Warwick, Drake, Casino, Lismore, Ballina and Yamba all occurred in the same month of the same year. Imagine a huge cyclone moving down the coast creating record rainfall, record flooding and no doubt, record beach erosion. This occurred in February 1893 well before the concept of burning fossil fuels, global warming and climate change. To this day these records haven’t been broken. It truly was an extreme weather event. John Sayers

Too selective

by hydraulic fracturing is not collected at the well head but escapes into the environment, contaminating air and water. The gas that is captured and sold ends up burnt and then released to the atmosphere as CO2. Replacing one fossil fuel with another will not reduce carbon emissions. The only viable solution to the twin problems of oil depletion and carbon emissions is a change in lifestyle and cultural values. We need to move away from the materialist, industrial paradigm of the twentieth century towards an holistic, ecological paradigm that recognises the fundamental importance of community, clean air, pure water and locally grown food.

Main Arm them. Please note the local rural fire brigade is Billinudgel/ Ocean Shores. The Pocket valley has a sign on nearly all gates as it is ideal for sinking wells that incidentally can be drilled sideways to go under Ocean Shores. This is a global problem, do not be so parochial and selective. The decimation by the NSW O’Farrell government of the Landcare facility is a clear sign of eliminating a strong lobby for our environment, and why? Chris Hartcher has not come up with an explanation as to how he is going to police the operation of thousands of wells. ‘Strict controls’ is a paper tiger. Taking the mood this region is in with even the federal member Justine Elliot bucking her own party and Nationals candidate Fraser following because he had no choice, any problems produced by drilling these wells may result in civil disobedience. America is going that way. Is this state government forcing us to do the same?

would like to clarify some of the inaccuracies in letters to the media which surround the Council Resolution no 13/21 from the February 14 meeting calling for a report regarding the suitability of using rocks at Belongil Beach and other parts of the shire. The report will advise on options for interim coastal protection works and potential for an application to state government’s Coastal Panel subject to the Coastal Zone Management Plan for the suitability of rock revetment protection works to repair and protect beach accesses and three public roads which are now in urgent need of repairs at Belongil. It was to secure rocks that had been offered by the RTA for the use by Council for many projects around the shire as well as the possible use at Belongil should the reports

come back advising this. Expert advice from the UNSW Water Research Laboratory was that for a short seawall between two existing longer seawalls there would be minimal incremental difference in alongshore erosion, therefore shorebird roosting and nesting sites would be minimally affected. Also that the main advantages of rock seawalls are that they offer a higher level of land protection and have longer life and lower maintenance. Specialist engineers agree that the effect on the beach is the same whether the protection works are sand bags or rocks. It would seem that one of the impediments in the past to the use of rocks instead of bags has been the cost of them and the transport. As the circumstances have now changed we need to consider this when deciding whether to continue using sand bags. Geobags are clearly much more expensive to maintain than rocks, collapse frequently and are potentially dangerous to wildlife habitat when they fall apart. I am quite thankful that we still have our wonderful park at Main Beach and those beautiful trees we are so proud of and surprisingly we still have a fabulous beach after 40 years or so of being fortified by rocks. Rocks may not be the perfect solution but they are one solution that to my humble eyes seems to have withstood the test for decades now. We haven’t lost the nesting grounds, we still have the best beaches in the state with relatively low maintenance costs. I am strongly of the opinion that we have little option but to adhere to planned retreat but believe that if there are options that present themselves that help to slow that process which are cost effective and environmentally appropriate they should at the very least be considered. I believe we do need to have a plan as to how that retreat will look. Where is the retreat line, is it the Belongil spit, is it Shirley Street, is it Byron Street, where do we retreat to? The township of Byron has been built on a swamp and there is nowhere for the water to go when the ocean breaches the dunes or when the estuary is overflowing and meets a king tide. It is clear that we can not plan a retreat from the township of Byron. I realise that rock works will only be a solu-

tion for a number of years but at least that will be safer than geobags, particularly as they are being frequently damaged by storms. It is unfortunate that we as a society love to live by the ocean and it is a mighty opponent. It will have its way since little is being done to mitigate global warming. We must hope for the best but prepare ourselves for the worst. We will have many more storm events, perhaps next week. It is our responsibility to do what we can to reduce the imminent threat to life and property, especially since a new option has presented itself. Cr Rose Wanchap

Byron Bay Q I have been living at Belongil Beach for the last 13 years. Through my observation of the placing of the geo-textile bags along the beach, I have noticed the following: The geo-textile material that the bags are made of is ending up in the enviroment in several different ways. Bags wash away into the ocean, either after being cut open by vandals and emptied or, as with what happened in the last storm event, bags were undermined from the back of the wall, and 30-plus bags were dragged into the ocean. When the empty bags end up in the ocean, they float around and to marine life they look like jellyfish. Turtles eat them, fish nibble on them. It is not good. Fibres from geo-tec bags have washed up in balls of spinifex seeds and wrapped around bits of sponge from the ocean. Fibres from geo-tec bags are found in many birds’ nests. We see birds fly onto the sandbags and start plucking the fibres off the surface of the bags, and then incorporate the geo-tec fibres into their nests. Geo-textile cloth cut into big lengths, rather than exposed bags, doesn’t seem to have the same outcome, because it is covered up and protected. When waves hit the sandbags, they accelerate erosion by travelling along the bag wall. Bags are solid, with no gaps for dispersing the energy of the waves.

Belongil Q More properly researched reality, please, less spray. I do get tired of headlines, even sub-headings, saying about Belongil ‘Spit immobilised by

construction’, without bothering with evidence. Really, you can have your own opinion, but not your own set of facts. Let’s go into Mary Gardner’s claim: ‘Since 1885, the once flexible sand-spit was immobilised by construction.’ Really? ‘Staff Commander Howard’s 1883 survey map of ‘Cape Byron Bay’… notes ‘thick scrub’ on the Belongil Beach section of the reserve.’ And here I’m quoting ‘Cumbebin Swamp Nature Reserve Plan Of Management, Feb 2012, NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service February 2012.’ Let’s go on: ‘Sand mining on beaches and dunes at Belongil Beach and nearby areas occurred during the 1880s and 1890s, intensifying in the 1930s and continuing until the late 1960s when the resource was largely exhausted. Sand mining, particularly the commercial mechanised extraction process of the later decades of the 20th century, caused major alterations to the landscape and the natural environment including in the Belongil Beach section of the reserve (refer to Section 4.5). Extensive clearing of native vegetation, filling and stabilising mined areas with invasive species such as bitou bush (Chrysanthemoides monilifera) significantly changed the landscape.’ (Ibid.) Indeed, and deep sand mining can only take place on mineral sands, deposited over millennia. Mary suggests opening the channel to the sea is a bad idea. Perhaps, but let’s consider the situation on the facts. The Belongil estuary of which Mary Gardner dreams became and remains a stormwater drain and sewer. The meatworks, established in 1912, ‘disposed of waste close to Belongil Creek. These uses resulted in impacts on the wetland communities and the creek (BEACON 1981).’ (Ibid.) Indeed, it frequently stank like a turd until about the year 2000. Mary is correct about the natural functioning of the ecosystem, but given the load dumped into it, we are not dealing with nature. I am not a specialist, but I understand opening the creek is done to flush the estuary. As a resident, I have seen its health improve. As an historian, I seek evidence first and draw conclusions later. For the sake of space, let’s be brief: Belongil is an ancient formation, much abused for 100 years, and we cannot undo the miners’ work. But we can stabilise on the 1880s line, mimicking nature with passive dunal-shaped works at no cost to the public. To do otherwise is to complete the miners’ work of destruction. As to the issue of opening the creek mouth, render unto the hydrology an hydrologist. Matt Hartley

SONGSMITH LUCIE THORNE RETURNS TO MULLUM TO PLAY AN INTIMATE SOLO CONCERT AT THE COURTHOUSE. OF HER LAST RELEASE, BONFIRES, THE AGE PROCLAIMED: ‘HERS IS A POETIC GIFT,’ AND THEY’RE PRETTY WELL ON THE MONEY. SEVEN HAD A QUICK CHAT TO FIND OUT JUST WHAT MAKES THIS GIRL TICK. What are the stories that most appeal to you in songwriting? The little ones. The snippets of the ordinary and the everyday… the ones that somehow then magnify through the process of getting turned into song and, rather than being pedestrian or banal, somehow shift outwards… take on an expansiveness, a resonance… How do you decant those vast emotional landscapes into a song? I don’t know that’s a matter of ‘decanting’… perhaps more a case of putting in just enough in the first place to give a sense of the feeling... like shining a small light in to the corner rather than lighting up the whole room – and to leave enough open for the listener to bring their own thing to it too… What are you listening to at the moment? Does what you listen to ever inform your ideas or your songwriting? I’ve recently had my record player fixed, so I’ve been having a great time trawling through some old favourite longplayers (Communique, The Kick Inside, One Man Dog, Court & Spark, Regatta de Blanc, Diamond Life… ) and yeah sure, songs are slippery little creatures and can creep up from anywhere… and of course they’re sometimes sparked by a borrowed/pilfered thread … even if it’s a very loose thread… Do you ever see something like a painting, or a movie, and think, oh I have to write a song? Occasionally a song will spring out of something like this, though more often it’s from a story I’ve read or a conversation had or overheard, but these are all the exceptions. Most of my songs – in terms of where the text comes from – grow from a single turn of phrase, or sometimes a single word… How do you think your singing/songwriting has evolved over the years? Slowly? I think the biggest single shift for me came when I fell in love with Loretta

Comedian Rod Quantock is still one of the country’s best political standups – with his more recent show satirising the stupidity of humans in their eternal quest for supremacy and the resulting BATTLE OF THE BUSKERS impending armageddon.

Loving Lucie What do you love? Well now that could be a really big list… but, ah, how about belly laughs, human kindness, good whiskey and a great song… (my 1966 Guild Starfire )… before that I played mostly acoustic guitar… and the move to electric coincided with quite a shift in my playing – and to my approach to the sound of it all – in general. With regards singing I feel like I’ve really settled in to my own voice these past few years… which I guess is something that grows from a combination of practice, confidence and comfort. What about your live shows? How do you approach them? I love performing, I always have. Even though I also always get a pretty serious bout of the nerves beforehand. But I guess that’s all just part of it. And when you can get to that space where you’re right in the middle of the music you’re making, and folks are diggin’ that music, well it’s a mighty fine thing… Do you consider yourself a songwriter or a poet or both, or are they the same or different? Ah, I don’t really think of myself as a ‘poet’ as such, no; I very rarely write anything that’s not in song form (well, apart from a rambling diary!) and there are plenty of my songs that pole position, have travelled internationally, building on their repertoire with Kim supporting the likes of Michael Franti on his latest Australian tour. The Busking Tent at Bluesfest was created in 2010 and has managed to develop each year since with worthy applicants provided with the opportunity to play at the Busking Tent during Bluesfest. This is the perfect exposure for these dedicated musicians eager to demonstrate their talent to a wider audience. The stories and memories could continue reflecting back on the year that Marshall and the Fro (winners in 2007) outshone the Apra tent rocking out to an over capacity crowd. Punters were unable to break the barrier to even have a chance at seeing the band in action. This comp offers inspiration and incentives for musicians to follow their hearts and their songs.

wouldn’t stand up on their own pair or legs without the music. But I do love the poetic nature of songwriting – a playful approach to language, the often sparing use of words and that distilling down of a text… How about your next show here? What should we expect? I’ll be playing two sets at the Courthouse on Thursday, so there’ll be plenty of room to try out a bunch of new songs, as well as some old favourites of course, and a bit of a dip in to the back catalogue no doubt. A great young local talent – Shea O’Toole – will be opening the show – who I’m really looking forward to hearing. And I do have rather a soft spot for the northern rivers region – so many friendly music-loving folks round these parts! It’s always a beautiful show in Ol’ Mullum Town! Presented by Mullum Music, Thursday 8pm at the Courthouse. Tickets $14/10/8. www.mullummusic.com or 6684 6195.

BAREFOOT AND PREGNANT WITH PROMISE

Current Affair and maybe Sale of the Century if you were lucky. And when you went to bed it was so hard that if you jumped on it you’d break your arse. This was the bed your father had slept on when he was a boy. The mattress was 40 years old. In fact the combined age of all the mattresses in the house was over 300 years. People didn’t replace things unless they were broken or burnt to the ground. They certainly didn’t aspire to higher and higher levels of cushion-top comfort. Lounges weren’t the giant leather modular leisure pits that they are now, they were small and hard and uncomfortable. They were designed for upright sitting, certainly not reclining. For that matter all chairs were hard. No one was supposed to be sitting for any length of time. Life was about getting up, working hard, and then collapsing at night into your uncomfortable bed. Look what’s happened with all these creature comforts encouraging us to lounge and sit and flap about like giant floppy seals. We’ve got fat. It’s ironic. Because being fat is about as uncomfortable as it gets.

It’s a band of local musicians playing all sorts of mad instruments to a deadly rhythm section (Pete & Thierry) with the mad fiddling of Jamie Corfield.

Originally from a small beachside town south of Sydney in 2011, New Navy secured the top spot of the JD Set competition with their dark indie tunes, seeing them share stages with Wolfmother at a sold out Espy show. New Navy’s success moved across the globe with radio rotations across Europe and the US, a release on Kitsuné’s trendy Maison Compilation and a collaboration with electronic producer Tiesto before inking a deal with Australian indie label Future Classic. This is a rare and special opportunity to hear them share the true traditional teachings as lived and taught in the valley since the first migration to the Hawaiian islands. Lawrence Aki is known as a Kumu Pa’a – one who teaches how to have a solid, strong, unshakable foundation. Kawika will be the 51st generation and will continue to preserve this lineage and teachings. Kawika will also be holding two days of Hula on Monday and Tuesday for those who would like to go deeper into the traditional dance of Hawaii. Friday evening (6.30pm to 9.30pm) is by donation only (suggestion of at least $20) and is open to anyone who would like to find out more. Saturday and Sunday go from 9am to 5pm. Hula workshops Monday 18 & Tuesday 19 March, 1pm to 4pm at Kulchajam – both days $50. Please contact Kathryn Roberts for more information on 0407 877 309 or email krobertsau@yahoo. com.au.

s r a t S WITH LILITH Of two people having the same experience, one might decide their life’s ruined and the other use it to become successful. With the present planetary emphasis in Pisces, Piscean motivational guru Anthony Robbins suggests the thing most worth managing is our response to what happens to us‌

E ARIES: Mars’ midweek matchup with the moon in your own self-motivating sign drastically increases your natural enthusiasm, but watch the irritability and impatience that accompany it. Listen more than you speak this week, and apply the Dalai Lama’s advice: Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible. F TAURUS: Watery Venus and fiery Mars cook up more steam than peace this week, which doesn’t encourage pre-paying for goods or services. More comfortable Tauran news is Mars in your twelfth house urging you to spend more time chilling out with pleasant friends, brainstorming plans and ideas‌ G GEMINI: If you’ve been a touch lacklustre lately, be advised this week’s enterprising Mars amps up general energetics and lights a delightful fire in your social zone. But while Mercury’s still retro, rushing could mean accidents, so take care on the roads and be patient with delays. H CANCER: This week’s planetary energy of mellow togetherness encourages cozying up with close family, special friends or reconnecting with a personal dream. That said, you can’t make everything right for everyone, so remember that while you’re responsible for what you say, that doesn’t apply to what someone else understands.

I LEO: While this pleasure-plentiful week opens a bonanza of new acquaintances and opportunities, certain cautions are in order. Take No for an answer graciously and don’t get offended if people aren’t ecstatically embracing your ideas. Significant changes are happening in the way you interact with others‌ J VIRGO: With mischievous Mercury throwing arrangements into disarray double check travel plans, which could run into unexpected snags and disruptions. Direct that impressive Virgo energy to what this week’s good for: fine tuning your action plan, taking care of repairs and tidying up unfinished business. K LIBRA: This week’s premier ask? Maintaining a sense of proportion and practicality in the face of fantasyrich distractions, unrealistic claims or fact-poor proposals. Emotionally complicated personalities and scenarios are best left till next week, when there’s less uncertainty but people are still reasonably pliable and open to negotiation. L SCORPIO: Sure, you can expect a few interpersonal contretemps when Mars marching into Aries makes you and everyone else more assertive than usual. But as passion flings inhibitions out the window, this week also vamps up your love life with a few irresistible bliss bombs.

When it comes to musical royalty, Rufus Wainwright is blue blood. Son of Loudon Wainwright III and Kate McGarrigle, brother of Martha Wainwright, father of Viva, two year old grandchild of Leonard Cohen, and stunning musician in his own right. Rufus has had a pretty full dance card and most of it has been played out in the public arena. While still a teenager he came out as gay, he has struggled with drug addiction, had his own personal differences with his father and has always publicly identified as a complete libertarian. When Kate McGarrigle died in 2010 he had released Songs for Lulu, having embarked on a tour raising awareness of sarcoma, the cancer that killed his mother. ‘When Kate died I had been working on Songs for Lulu which I then went on and toured and turned into a mourning extravaganza on what it’s like to experience death. It was an incredible tour for me and it was about getting that support from the general public. But I learnt I needed to have fun and get back on the track so I wrote Out of the Game and a couple of other songs with the intention of their being more upbeat… then we got Marc Ronson to produce it.’ So how has Rufus managed to live so easily in the public eye without attempting to hide his personal struggles? ‘I wouldn’t say it’s courage – it’s more like

by Sebastian Faulks Review by John Mitchell

Most famous for Birdsong, Sebastian Faulks has compiled a series of five connected stories in A Possible Life, that he insists come together as a novel in the same way that a series of connected songs can blend to create an album. The emergence, or creation, of a meta-entity such as an album or a novel, or indeed a ‘life’ or ‘self’, is the central theme of the book. The stories that make up A Possible Self span 200 years with one set in the not too distant future. From a concentration camp in WWII to a Victorian workhouse of the 19th century, to a recording studio in Los Angeles, each story unveils a number of all-too-human characters living ordinary, even mundane lives, out of which Faulks is able to find the emergence of ‘a possible life’. These are tiny moments of beauty and wonder that do not in an way alter the rather nihilistic existence that is otherwise present. Faulks is no romantic and A Possible Life is unashamedly existential in nature. For me, the most compelling story concerned two women neuroscientists who, in 2029, discover the neurological basis for human consciousness. Such an incredible scientific discovery brings money, status, etc, but ultimately leaves the

an addiction! I wasn’t born with a filter for my personal life and my public life. In most cases it’s good, I think the public appreciates honesty, and other times it has gotten me into trouble and it hasn’t been appropriate – although I think everyone knows – even those I’ve hurt, that at the very least I am being sincere.’ When dealing with his crystal meth habit Wainwright was quoted as saying, ‘I thought, I am either going to rehab or I am going to live with my father. I knew I needed an asshole to yell at me, and I felt he fit the bill.’ The father/son relationship has been a challenging one, with both parties publicly pushing the buttons of the other. ‘My dad and I have really worked hard to fortify our relationship and to keep contact, I will also say that at times it’s a fucking nightmare, but it is a road that I have ride nobly.’ Rufus Wainwright’s husband is Jorn Weisbrodt. With reference to their union he has been quoted as saying, ‘I wasn’t a huge gay marriage supporter before I met Jorn because I love the whole old-school promiscuous Oscar Wilde freak show of what being gay once was. But since meeting Jorn all that changed.’ The distance Rufus feels, does help fan the flames. ‘It’s one of the fuelling aspects of our life together – that we have this time

women empty. ‘Knowing one was comprised of recycled matter only and that selfhood was a delusion did not take away the aching of the heart.’ In a way, A Possible Life invokes memories of Dostoevsky’s great novel, Crime & Punishment and the search for meaning. For Faulks, life becomes possible in unexpected moments, not in great success, not in hard work, not even in selfless action. Life is entirely emergent and can occur in any or each of these circumstances albeit briefly. Life has no substance of its own but rather emerges out of the unique combination of elements in a person’s history. After finishing the book, I felt a sense of lingering hope albeit hope emerging from a very dark space.

The Rosie Project By Graeme Simsion Review by Anna Gurnhill

Told through the first person narrative of Don Tillman, The Rosie Project offers a humorous and insightful view into the world of Asperger’s syndrome, and how an ‘Aspie’ negotiates life as a

apart so when we come together it’s pretty romantic… there’s a lot of slow motion running and falling into linen! We work at it; when you find that person, it drives you crazy, but you want it to work.’ So when it comes to playing Bluesfest? ‘I will be sticking pretty close to the old faithfuls, cigarettes and chocolate milk, the art teacher, and hallelujah, once you manage to hook them in it’s fun to send a curve ball out there as well, but you have to get them in first!’ Rufus Wainwright – at Bluesfest this Easter.

university professor in contemporary Melbourne. For Tillman, many of society’s subtleties and nuances go undetected and unknown. Rhetorical questions are taken literally. Tillman’s brain is wired to memorise data and information. Tillman’s world is structured and planned. No room for flexibility. He has a very practical and pragmatic outlook. The Rosie Project is not a love story. Despite one of the book’s central stories revolving around Don’s ‘Wife Project’ in which he establishes a (very detailed) questionnaire as the basis for a scientific and systematic approach to find the perfect partner, the central theme is really a quirky characterisation of Asperger’s, in which we are told that it’s okay to be different, to not quite ‘fit-in’ to normality or what’s expected in contemporary culture, but that everyone ‘fits-in’ somewhere. Tillman is an endearing character. I think we all probably know someone just like Tillman, or have come across similar traits somewhere in our lives. Tillman’s lack of awareness of cultural and societal norms and behaviour, and his own rigid, regimented,

<echowebsection=Entertainment>

structured and practical approach to life is hilarious. You will find yourself not laughing ‘at’ Tillman, but with him. His outlook is an entirely valid and reasonable one. Just not the one that we’re used to. Author Graeme Simsion is to be applauded for tackling what might otherwise be a taboo and politically incorrect subject and bringing it into the mainstream and popular domain, with a light-hearted attitude. Rosie is on a search to find her biological father. Tillman, a geneticist, is the person to help her. Once they have exhausted almost all possibilities, the reader is led to second guess the outcome. However, Simsion throws in one final twist. It comes as no surprise that Rosie – a strong-minded, confident and independent woman – sees through Tillman’s awkward and potentially embarrassing social encounters, enjoys spending time with him and eventually falls in love with him. The Rosie Project is a delightful journey with Tillman as he discovers himself, makes friends, and finds that even he, who

is ‘not wired’ to feel emotion, can fall in love. The Rosie Project is a fun and easy read.

The Misinterpretation of Tara Jupp By Eva Rice

Review by Rochele Douglas

Tara Jupp and her six siblings live with their widowed vicar father live in his rectory in the Cornish countryside. Tara has a beautiful singing voice and this will be the asset that steers her life in a whole new direction. After she is discovered singing in church she moves to a London that is just beginning to swing in the early 60s – here she meets a cast of colourful characters. Although the plot is somewhat predictable, in places long, this book is lovely. It brings another time and place vividly to life. The writing is warm and witty and the characters, especially Tara, are charming and very easy to like. It’s a wonderful coming-of-age book where the heroine pursues her ambitions while trying to stay true to herself at the same time. Tara Jupp has to be my favourite character of all the new releases out in the last couple of years. It’s the sweet story of a young girl’s adolescence, lived in extraordinary circumstances, which makes this an easy book to recommend.

to

sons, survived the disaster that struck while they were holidaying in Thailand. In this she is played with painstaking faithfulness by Naomi Watts, who has deservedly earned an Oscar nomination for her efforts. But, unavoidably, a film of this nature is restricted by its subject matter. We know exactly what happened and only the most dim-witted would not expect for it to be a classic exercise in the ‘indomitable human spirit’ genre – and that is not meant as a criticism. Director Juan Antonio Bayona and scriptwriter Sergio G SĂĄnchez have succeeded admirably in bringing the drama to life without bogging down in repetition or cheap sensationalism. Aided in no small way by the remarkable technology now available to filmmakers, the event itself and its mind-boggling aftermath are shot with horrifying realism. Badly injured and separated from husband Henry (Ewan McGregor) and their two infant sons, MarĂ­a is shepherded to an overcrowded local hospital by her eldest boy Lucas (Tom Holland). Despite Watts’s heart-rending performance, it is Holland’s Lucas who rises to the occasion and, whether by design or not, becomes the focal character – his searching the wards for other victims’ relatives exposes the fragile thread that holds us to our own worlds. There is, however, no sense of time – did all this happen over two or three days? A week? Certainly the unchanging bloodstains on Lucas’s arms and legs gave no indication. I took my hanky as insurance against a bawling conclusion, but the non-stop pathos had wrung out of me any uncontrollable urge to blub well before Mum, Dad and the kids were re-united. ~ John Campbell

1. Marine iguanas, regarded as the only sea-going lizard, are one of the stars of David Attenborough’s Galapagos (ABC1, Sunday, 7.30pm), about of course the unique wildlife of the islands first made famous by the great Charles Darwin’s field notes. Attenborough could add his name to a doco about a cereal packet and still make it riveting: ‘And here we have the shy rice krispie, emerging from its home‌’ 2. Later on in the evening you can see MargrĂŠt VilhjĂĄlmsdĂłttir star in White Night Wedding (SBS2, Sunday, 10.30pm), an Icelandic bittersweet comedy, directed by Baltasar KormĂĄkur, and loosely based on the play Ivanov by Anton Chekhov. The bridegroom Jon is something of a mystery, as we learn in flashbacks about his first marriage and its connections to the upcoming ‘happy’ event.

In the bowl balanced over gently simmering water the white chocolate was inexplicably refusing to melt. I wanted it to turn liquid in order to be drizzled on to my cheesecake; instead it had merely softened into an uncooperative blob. And so, against my purist instincts, I relocated it to the microwave oven, entered twenty seconds and pressed Start. What emerged was no longer creamy white but a honey coloured composition into which, curious, I dipped a spoon – only to swoon with pleasure. Somehow, by over heating the white chocolate, it had turned into a sort of fudgy, butterscotchy crème brĂťlĂŠe, creamily warm in the centre, crystallised and caramelised around the edges: it was divine.

Out of accidents may exciting culinary inventions emerge. A combination previously considered unthinkable will result in a sensory sensation. I have yet to try out Bryony’s blend of avocado and Vegemite, spawned from an accidental spreading of avocado on toast using a Vegemitey knife – she assures me it is wonderful – but I honestly can conceptualise Eve’s unwitting coupling of chump chops with fruitcake. She told me that as far as dinner that night was concerned, it had been a case of piling various foods on to a wooden board and, forgoing the civilisation of a seat at a table and a set of cutlery, standing at the kitchen bench and picking.

QUICK PICKLED CHILLIES 3 long red and 3 long green chillies 1/4 cup grated palm sugar 1/2 cup sherry vinegar Method: Split and deseed the chillies, then finely julienne. Toss with salt and leave to stand. In a pan, dissolve the sugar in the vinegar and reduce to a glaze. Add the chillies, toss and remove from the heat. Once cooled, serve mixed with chopped parsley and mint as a hot condiment.

... from page 29 ... cheese and there were a couple of chump chops and there was a chunk of some leftover Christmas cake – some Christmas cakes last as long as one Christmas to the next – and at one point she had a mouthful of chop then immediately afterward a mouthful of the fruitcake. ‘It was absolutely fantastic, that combination,’ she told me. And why not? In turn the notion led me to consider the viability of stuffing a leg of lamb with, in the place of ordinary breadcrumbs, some crumbled up fruit bread along with the usual onion and herbs and possibly lemon rind‌ Karen, with whom I raised the topic, told me about a friend of hers whose son had mistakenly utilised Gravox in the place of cocoa for a chocolate cake – with resounding success! She also remembered that in one of her Italian cookbooks the author had been making a carbonara sauce for pasta and unknowingly stirred it with a spoon to which some Gorgonzola had adhered. Another exciting invention – and one I plan at some stage to replicate. There was the time I left for the man I love the remains of the previous evening’s roast pork (one container), sticky date pudding (another container) and toffee sauce for the pudding (a third container). When he went to warm up his leftovers meal – and believing that the sauce was a gravy for the pork – he tumbled it into the meat, stirred it around then consumed it with unmitigated pleasure. My latest cheesecake used homemade honeycomb folded through the cream before being baked. Presumably the humidity was the reason for its somehow melting into the filling which, in turn, melted into the biscuity base: the result I will never manage to recreate, I am positive, but it was an extraordinarily happy accident of a cheesecake.

I’M REALLY NEEDING A BREAK! My name is Tom. I have been roaming the streets since I was a kitten, looking for a home. I’m looking for a human companion who I don’t have to share with other cats or dogs and who is looking for lots of affection from me. I’m probably best suited to a farm where I can take care of your home and barn. I’m now 2 years old, pretty smart and very handsome, but I’ve had a rough start and I really need a break! Are you The One? Please call Caring for Cats on 0468 422 822.

She’s been known to be very sweet and affectionate, however due to the stress of being placed in a shelter she has become withdrawn. She desperately needs a loving home to bring out her true personality. Do you know someone willing to give Prada a chance? She would prefer a home with no other cats. Prada would make a great farm cat! To meet Prada, visit the Cat Adoption Centre at 124 Dalley St, Mullumbimby. Open Tues 2.30-4.30pm, Thurs 3-5pm and Sat 10-12 noon. Call AWL on 6684 4070.

Good medical knowledge? Honesty? Good listening skills? Empathy? You probably want your doctor to have all of these traits – and teenagers are no different. But young people also place a high priority on confidentiality; a particular concern is that the doctor will disclose their personal information to their parents. Without confidentiality, adolescents are less likely to seek health care, less likely to disclose sensitive information about their lives and less likely to return for future appointments. But forgoing health care isn’t an option for young people today.

doctor, even if their children don’t want them to know. To find out why, the Centre for Adolescent Health in Melbourne recently interviewed parents of teenagers to find out what influences their views. All parents thought it was important to support their teenagers in becoming more independent and more autonomous as they grew up. They saw this as a key part of their parental role. But they had very different ideas about how to do this in relation to their children’s health care. Some parents thought the best way to help their children become more independent was to completely step back – letting them see doctors alone and letting them learn to ‘stand on their own two feet’. Others believed the best way to support their teens was to know exactly what was going on in all aspects of their lives, including their health care. The extent to which parents trust their teens’ doctor influences whether they’re supportive of confidentiality. As one parent said, ‘I would willingly step out if I trusted the doctor to share with me anything I need to be aware of.’ The extent to which parents trust health professionals more generally BT PQQPTFE UP UIFJS UFFOT EPDUPS TQFThe parents’ perspective DJĕDBMMZ JT BMTP B LFZ JOĘVFODF Parents’ views about confidentialThe problem is a lot of parents want ity also relate to the way they view to be told what goes on behind closed their role as a parent.

their teenager to see the doctor alone would constitute bad parenting. As one parent stated, ‘no-one knows your child like a parent does’. For these parents, fulfilling their parental role entails being responsible and active in their teenagers’ lives, sharing important information with the doctor and being there to ask important questions too. Of course, these parental skills are vital when children are young. But as children grow up and enter adolescence, it becomes more and more important for them to have privacy. International guidelines recommend adolescents be left alone with their doctor for at least part of each DPOTVMUBUJPO ćFZ EPO U TQFDJGZ BO age but teens can access their own

It also gives young people a chance to obtain the skills they need for engaging with health professionals as adults. Yes, this comes with risks. What if they don’t share all the necessary information? What if they don’t remember what is said? What if they don’t understand what is explained? But these are necessary risks. The challenge is therefore to find a way to help parents feel comfortable about this and support privacy for their teens. Health professionals need to prioritise this time alone for young people, despite other competing demands and despite this being an uncomfortable conversation to have with some parents. They may need to invest more time in building rapport XJUI QBSFOUT BT XFMM BT XJUI ZPVOH QFPQMF JO PSEFS UP EFWFMPQ UIJT USVTU and understanding, and may require additional training and support to do this effectively.

chologists who work with adolescents found significant variation around when psychologists would breach confidentiality with a young person to inform parents about risk-taking behaviours. One of the reasons for their varied opinions was case-bycase considerations: how mature the adolescent was; whether the parents were likely to be supportive if told; and whether breaching confidentiality would stop the adolescent from coming to see the psychologist in future. Australian psychologists did show consensus when it came to the extreme categories of risk behaviour, such as suicidal behaviour. In these cases, they agreed parents would need to be informed. This is in line with the Australian Psychological Society’s code of ethics, which stipulates confidentiality should be breached for an immediate risk of harm. Both parents and health professionals may be in need of some education and support if we’re to realise the goal of providing age-appropriate health care to young Australians.

Byron Bay’s Skate of Origin The weekend before Easter will see The Bay Rollers play host to Gold Coast Roller Derby Skate of Origin roller bout. The Bay Rollers have been calling the new Byron Bay Sports Complex their home since 2012 and this will be the second home game at the centre. ‘In November last year we held a game at the Sports Complex featuring two home teams from The Bay Rollers’, says Captain Leggy Bomb. ‘While we knew that people had been waiting to see us play, we were blown away by the huge turnout.’ Gold Coast Roller Derby’s Maids of Pain have been playing for four years and recently came third in the Queensland– Northern New South Wales Tropicarnage tournament. The Bay Rollers lost to the Maids of Pain last year and are looking to better their result. Leggy Bomb is enthusias-

tic about the opportunity for people to learn more about roller derby. ‘We’ve amped up the training this year so fans will see a fast game and with big hits from both sides. This

is going to be a great game to watch. The Skate of Origin will be held at the Byron Regional Sports and Cultural Complex on March 23. Doors open at

6pm. Kids under 12 get free entry. The after party will be at the Hotel Great Northern. For more information visit the Rollers Facebook page or http://bayrollers.com.

Byron Masters at State Champs Byron Bay SLSC’s dominant women’s team took advantage of the smooth conditions at Ocean Beach – Umina and walked away with a medal haul at the Allphones NSW Masters Surf Life Saving Championships, which wrapped up today. Helen Murray, who is relatively new to the sport with three years’ competing under her swim cap, was the most successful member of the six woman team, cleaning up with individual gold in the 40–44 board, ironwoman and ski events on Wednesday and silver in the 2km beach run. On the final day of Masters competition, Byron Bay collected team gold in multiple events including 130 years female board relay, 150 years male board relay, 45 years plus women’s double ski and the 50–55 female tube rescue. Outstanding gold medal winning performances also came from Gai Coleman in the 50–54 female single ski, Geoff Brodin

in the 50–54 male board race and Fred Middleton in the 60–64 male single ski. In the three leg 130 years combined board relay, Murray was deliberately left to paddle last, teammates Gai Coleman and Helen Jarvis getting the team up into second but with

a glaring 100 metre gap to the leading Coogee paddler. Murray dug deep to catch then pass the frontrunner, adding to her enviable medal tally from these state titles. ‘Some mums get together and go on cruises for their holidays. I’m not really the cruise

type so I come to these events,’ said the super fit Murray. ‘My kids did nippers and I’ve always swum. I like to be active and in the ocean and in surf life saving; there’s a nice sense of community and belonging.’ ‘Everyone in the team has their strengths,’ says team member Karin Irwin, whose husband Paul is the club coach for boards and skis and has been involved in surf life saving at Byron Bay for four decades. This afternoon and tomorrow morning the second wave of Byron Bay competitors will arrive with the commencement of open competition tomorrow through to Sunday. Up to 2,500 Open competitors are due to arrive at the central coast for the sport’s pinnacle in this state.

Giant struggle The Northern Rivers Region Rugby League Group 2013 season kicks off on the first weekend of April. The Mullumbimby Giants had a stellar year in 2012 winning the Reserve grade and Under 18s grand finals but Giants’ president Mr Butler believes that a mentality of ‘she’ll be right on game day’ has become the players’ approach. ‘You can’t blame them – it has worked in the past. But I don’t think it is a winning approach,’ he said. ‘There has been a lot of promised commitment but it has not materialised at training sessions. We are about to start the season not knowing just who will turn up. ‘A coaching team might just as well stay at home for training sessions if that is what the players do. We have the old stagers who run the club, play the game, look after the amenities, and man the gate on game days. They are the lifeblood of the club. They need to be actively and physically supported by younger players.’ Mr Butler said that the Giants Football Club is known throughout the region for the heart, the mateship and the spirit of the teams. ‘Even when the scoreboard is unkind to us we never “dog” the game. We play to the bitter end and then we have a good laugh. ‘Our supporters and sponsors

are the best. Our players know this and feel a great responsibility to them. ‘On Tuesday March 19 we will have a quiet drink and a bite to eat after training. A bit of bonding to ensure we all understand what is needed for the 2013 season.’ Asked whether the Giants will take the flag in 2013, Mr Butler said, ‘We won’t breach the salary cap, can’t afford to bet and can’t fix a flat tyre let alone one of their games. We are underdogs not hotdogs. ‘We’ll be there,’ he said.

housing affordability to improve further but we don’t expect any significant upturn in first home buyers’ activity,’ says Mr Bushby. ‘While declining interest rates have been the major contributor to an improvement in housing affordability it appears that first home buyers need more than interest rate cuts to encourage them to enter the market. The Australian Bureau of Statistics’ Housing Finance data shows increasing activity by changeover buyers and investors while first home buyers were not responding to the cash rate cuts of last year. ‘Exacerbating the difficulty for first home buyers is that during 2012 the governments of Queensland, New South Wales and South Australia announced

that they would only provide the FHOG to purchasers of new property and not to those buying established housing. Only 18 per cent of Australian first home buyers are buying new homes with 82 per cent purchasing es-

tablished dwellings. ‘Notwithstanding, lower interest rates are necessary in order to improve sentiments of home buyers and further assist those who have been held back from purchasing their first home’.

Is your rainwater tank stand safe? Poorly installed or unstable water tanks being filled with the recent rains could become a death trap for home owners or visitors, according to Archicentre, the building design, inspection and advice service of The Australian Institute of Architects. Edward Lukac from Archicentre said, ‘People often don’t realise the sheer weight involved in storing rainwater, which weighs a tonne for every thousand litres – 2,500 litre rainwater tanks are common and, when full, they weigh two and a half tonnes. ‘It is not unusual to see a large water tank on an old timber tank stand. The dead weight of a full tank of water on a rickety tank stand sitting on softened earth is a recipe for a disaster. ‘Raised water tanks on timber structures require ongoing safety assessments to check for any deterioration of the timber or any sign of the tank starting to lean. ‘A falling tank of water could severely injure or kill a person. It might even endanger the structural integrity of the home if it fell onto the house. ‘In areas where there has been recent flooding or heavy rain, the support for the tank may be weakened because of the rain–softened ground.’ Mr Lukac said Archicentre’s property inspectors are continually amazed at some of the dangerous water storage vessels they come across. Some home owners are creating makeshift water tanks using wheelie bins or old steel containers, with many being unstable. ‘Home buyers should be mindful of poor water tank installation

practices and be on the lookout for dodgy workmanship. Water tanks must be properly installed and should only be connected to the stormwater drainage system by a licensed plumber. ‘Home owners should ensure that their tank – or the tank on the property they are buying – has been properly installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommended installation guidelines. ‘Homemade tanks or unstable tank stands can be accidents waiting to happen’.

The Labor Party obviously thinks it’s on a sure thing by taking up the cudgel for those opposed to CSG mining. It certainly makes the Nationals look a bit lame on their own turf, but it’s debatable whether it will save the federal party or in any way restore the fortunes of the disgraced NSW party. Meanwhile Palace Byron Bay Cinema is hosting a free screening of Gasland, the film that for many revealed the perils of fracking, on Friday March 15 at 10am. ■ ■ ■ ■

Richmond Tweed Regional Library’s Facebook page is an easy way to keep up with events going on at your local libraries, and includes posts from readers. You don’t have to burn books to destroy a culture; as Ray Bradbury noted, you just ‘get people to stop reading them’. Consider your local library as an outpost of civilisation against the onslaught of mindless television, and admire the fact you can get so much from libraries for so little of your tax money. We agree with Groucho Marx: ‘I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.’ ■ ■ ■ ■

Naturally all our minds are intent on potholes, which reproduce as fast as the council workers can fill them. Intrepid British artist Pete Dungey has taken to converting them to gardens, which add a little colour to the bitumen and serve as traffic-calming devices.

a renewed interest now they need a replacement pope. The Huffington Post gives a good summary of the recent intrigue at http://huff.to/12x6N8t, which involves the American cardinals infuriating the Curia by holding – gasp! – press conferences. The Huff also reports that the bookmakers are busy firming up odds on who will be the next pope and their reporter Keith Thomson notes: ‘In 1549, Roman banks accepted bets on cardinals likely to be elected, with the very same cardinals getting in on the action. Pope Gregory XIX’s 1591 papal bull, making wagers on papal elections punishable by excommunication, failed to deter the practice.’
