The Echo understands that the re- tionals MPs were photographed (see port’s findings have prompted the back page) wearing t-shirts with the state government to shelve any plans words ‘Yes, you can have your trains to re-instate regional rail services back.’ When asked about pre-election which were discontinued by the then commitments to bring trains back in 2007, Mr Page told The Echo, ‘Any Labor state government in 2004. Current transport minister Gladys commitment made prior to the 2007 Berejiklian says her government will election relates to being elected to now consider the findings, ‘as part government in 2007, which didn’t of our work to finalise the Northern happen.

Meanwhile, Ms Berejiklian, says identify any social or environmental that ‘The study recommends invesbenefits. Mr Page however said last year on tigating improving bus services to ABC radio (June 26, 2012) that he provide more people with frequent, asked his government and minister cost effective public transport to key to ‘broaden the terms of reference of destinations, rather than reinstating the feasibility study to make it beyond the rail line.’ any doubt that the benefits of rail services on the Murwillumbah to Casino Light rail eliminated Astoundingly, light rail transit was line will be properly analysed by the eliminated during preliminary assessproject team.’ These included ‘environmental ment, and instead the study focused Hans Lovejoy

on heavy, or freight, rail. A Transport for NSW spokesperson told The Echo light rail was not explored for a number of reasons. ‘We found light rail would not provide additional benefits to the rail shuttle option and is less effective over longer distances (greater than 20km). ‘A local Byron Bay shuttle was considered; however, we found regular bus services between Sunrise Beach, Byron and Suffolk Park would provide a better and more flexible public transport service.’

Lack of sustainability Despite the spokesperson claiming that ‘All options considered by the study were subject to a sustainability assessment,’ there is only one small

reference to sustainability. Under ‘Rating Against Sustainability’, the report claims returning the XPT extension to Murwillumbah is ‘expected to have a minor positive sustainability impact.’ And for a Casino to Murwillumbah rail shuttle (light rail), it again claimed a ‘very minor shift [is] predicted from car to the more sustainable public transport mode.’ The word ‘sustainability’ only appears three times throughout the document. Similarly, the words ‘climate change’ are absent. And even in its terms of reference on page 100, it claims incorrectly that ‘The study represents a broadening of the previously announced engineering and cost evaluation to include consideration of economic, social and environmental benefits.’

Regardless of the report’s failure to address rail’s environmental benefits, it provides an insight into future growth projections for the region. It claims, ‘Future growth in the region will occur in the Tweed region, extending southwards along the coast to Ballina. Lismore, Tweed and Ballina are the defined long term major regional centres.’ Also, ‘The population of the northern rivers is estimated to grow to around 367,000 in 2031 with an increase in housing units from 129,000 to 161,000 (Department of Premier and Cabinet, 2012). The majority of growth will be experienced in the coastal corridor in the area between Ballina and Byron, and in particular along the Tweed coast and in Tweed Heads.’ Q Editorial page 10

They were both English and had served in the trenches in the first world war and they let me go.’ John didn’t see the airforce as a career move, he felt he was doing his duty. ‘I joined more or less to do what was necessary.

Sitting in a sunny kitchen with the magpies warbling in the morning sun is a long way from the war torn England where John Evans, now 90, spent most of World War II. John flew both Hawker Hurricanes and Supermarine Spitfires; the latter he describes as ‘beautiful machines’. John was a part of Squadron 451. Their unofficial emblem was a joey firing a slingshot from the mama kangaroo’s pouch. After training in Melbourne and Benalla in Victoria, he left his homeland for four years to protect its shores. ‘I finished up in England in ’43’, says John. ‘We did training in Canada on our way across in the winter of ’42. John says his mother was reluctant to see him go to war but eventually signed the necessary paperwork for him to join up – John’s older brother had already been conscripted. John was completing an electroplating apprenticeship before the war and even though it

UK, and they settled back in Australia in 1946. After John and Rosemary retired to Brunswick Heads, he says he was woken up early by the sound of drummers traipsing through the town. The couple had moved to Brunswick on April 24, 1988, and the dawn service march on that ANZAC Day was their welcome to the north coast. John says he goes to regular RSL meetings and he also likes to attend ANZAC day. He says that if he had any advice to give to men and women going to war, it would be just to be careful and stay safe.

Local government review seeks feedback Public comment is now being sought after the Independent Local Government Review Panel released its latest report last week. It comes after a ten month review of the sector. Local government minister Don Page said, ‘I encourage the community and the local government sector to provide feedback to the draft recommendations and I look forward to receiving their final report in September. ‘I would also like to reaffirm the Liberals and Nationals government’s policy of no forced amalgamations.’ The review panel was established at the request of the Local Government and Shires Association – now Local Government NSW – and is now in its last consultation phase before releasing its final recommendations to the minister in late September. Those wishing to make a submission to the panel should visit www.localgovernmentreview.nsw.gov.au or email info@ localgovernmentreview.nsw. gov.au.

Council will also distribute ‘party smart’ kits to backpackers, local high school students, young people celebrating schoolies, and other visitors to Byron Bay. The Byron Local Government Area was ranked sixth in NSW for assault (non-domestic violence related) in 2012, according to the Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research.

More midwives needed for home births Story & photo Eve Jeffery

Dr James Nicholson says he is a dinosaur. He says he and his ilk are a dying breed and he can see imminent extinction, possibly within the next ten years. But as one of less than a handful of GP/obstetricians in the area, it seems you can teach an old doctor new tricks – Dr James recently attended his first home birth in an official capacity. James and midwife Debra Hayhoe recently worked as a team to help welcome baby Tallulah to the world. Tallulah’s mother Laura had a water birth in the family’s kitchen. Laura says that she had always wanted a home birth but the cost was prohibitive. She had birthed her second child Kylan at the Mullumbimby birthing unit three and a half years ago and was very pleased that the unit now had the option of home birth available.

Low risk facility The unit is a low risk facility and the criteria for having a baby at home through the centre are the same as that for having a baby within the centre. The equipment needed for a home birth through the service

is the same as a birthing unit delivery and is easily available out of the hospital confines. Both James and Debra agree that attitudes toward home birth have changed, and are still changing and it is seen as a more ‘normal’ and usual experience that it was 20 or 30 years ago. Debra says that she feels women need, and through the

service are receiving, more options in the way in which they deliver their babies. The problem arising now is that with so few staff, the centre is having to turn away women and it is hoped that the access to more midwives will increase the annual delivery rate through the facility. The Northern Rivers Branch of Maternity Coalition and the

Byron Shire Council (BSC) has been put on notice that its poor financial performance is risking the future viability of the council as a standalone entity. New South Wales Treasury Corporation (TCorp), which was last year appointed by local government minister Don Page to report on the health of the state’s 152 elected councils, released a report card on each council last week. After looking at each coun-

cil’s financial history and applying a range of comparisons, TCorp warned that around 25 per cent of councils – including Byron – were in danger of failing financially within the next decade. Of the four north coast councils, Tweed performed best financially, followed by Ballina. Lismore, like Byron, came in for criticism in its attention to road building and asset renewal. But Byron GM Ken Gainger says successive state governments are partly to blame for

the position of councils around the state, with a combination of cost shifting and rate capping hampering councils’ attempts to balance the books. He added that the announcement put in perspective the council’s decision last week to sell the Ocean Shores Roundhouse site and use the cash to start an infrastructure fund. The TCorp report on BSC says, ‘Based on our review of both the historic financial information and the 10 year financial forecast within Coun-

cil’s long term financial plan we consider Council’s financial position to be weak and it is deteriorating in respect of its longer term sustainability’. While the current state government has not changed its election promise not to force troubled councils to amalgamate, it has avoided restating the commitment since the report cards were issued.

Homeless get a flu vax

A man was killed when the car he was driving collided with trees near Mullumbimby on Monday night last week. About 7.40pm, a 38 year old man was driving a Maserati sedan in a southerly direction along Goonengerry Road. The driver appears to have lost control of the car near Beatties Creek Road causing it to run off the road and collide with a number of trees. Police, ambulance paramedics, NSW Fire and Rescue, and Brunswick Valley Volunteer Rescue Association were all in attendance. The driver, the only person in the car, was trapped but died at the scene before he could be taken to hospital. Investigations are continu- It’s nearly flu season again.

Belongil estuary gets a little TLC from WetlandCare Littoral rainforest at the edge of Belongil Creek on the site of the North Byron Beach Resort is being restored courtesy of WetlandCare Australia. With funding from the federal government’s Caring for our Country program, the property is one of 20 wetlands to be restored as part of WetlandCare Australia’s $2.5 million Coastal 20 wetlands restoration project.

So far the group’s bush regeneration team has been working with North Byron Beach Resort to undertake weed control through an area of 11 hectares of this important vegetation community. WetlandCare Australia project officers also located active fox dens at the site and with the help of the Livestock Health and Pest Authorities were able to undertake control activities.

The removal of these predators had an immediate impact as the endangered Pied Oystercatchers, which nest at the nearby Belongil Spit, successfully fledged two chicks for the first time in a number of years. North Byron Beach Resort will help WetlandCare Australia to maintain the works long term and ensure the continued health of the site. They will also continue to monitor for

fox activity in the area to help protect the important nesting shorebirds of the Belongil Spit, which is critical habitat for this protected species. Adam Gosling, Coastal 20 project manager for WetlandCare Australia, said the Belongil estuary ‘has significant environmental, recreational and cultural values and is home to many threatened fauna and flora species’.

Mexican wave hits Byron

Miss Margarita is the new Mexican restaurant at the beach end of Jonson Street. Restaurant owners Greg and Emma Thomson were originally on the lookout for a larger space to accommodate the success of their first res-

taurant, Asia Joe’s, when they had a meal in Brisbane in a bustling, vibrant Australianstyle Mexican restaurant. ‘It was packed with young people eating, drinking and having a great time, and we thought: this is just what Byron

Upper Coopers road struggle

needs,’ says Emma. ‘We spent lots of time looking at restaurants in Melbourne, London, Sydney and New York and decided this type of casual dining experience with a less traditional Mexican menu had great potential.’

Byron Shire Council has received the geotechnical report for Upper Coopers Creek Road and reports: ‘After considering the report, the road will remain closed but vehicles up to five tonnes can cross the slip under the supervision of the JHA staff on site. ‘Vehicles up to five tonnes include things like a loaded Landcruiser utility, the school bus and a passenger vehicle and small trailer. It does not include larger trucks such as tip trucks, furniture vans, septic and garbage trucks or trucks that could carry a garbage skip, trucks carrying plant or loads of gravel, lime, fertiliser, etc. ‘The road is still closed and the crossings of the slip must be controlled by the JHA staff. If you want to cross, drive to the slip, approach the JHA staff and request to cross. The JHA staff will guide the crossings.’

Marijuana medicine man jailed Luis Feliu

Campaigners for the use of medicinal cannabis are outraged over a one year jail sentence given to a prominent north coast grower of the herb when he appeared in Kempsey Court last week. Supporters of Tony Bower, 56, who is being held in custody despite lodging an appeal against the sentence, which carries a nine month nonparole period, say they will continue his work dispensing medicinal cannabis to cancer sufferers and others with terminal or debilitating illnesses. Mr Bower was charged after a police raid on his Mullaway

property last year, which netted around 200 hemp plants that he had earmarked for production of medical tincture to distribute, free, to sufferers. His partner Julie told The Echo that she and others attending the court in solidarity were shocked he was not given bail after magistrate Wayne Evans said Mr Bower was not remorseful and would continue to give away the tincture. An appeal date has been set down for June 3. Possession, growing and distribution of cannabis is illegal in NSW but a NSW Upper House inquiry is currently considering legalising the drug for medicinal use.

all know him personally, some of us for a long time, and he is such a genuine fellow,’ he said. ‘He distributes free his medical cannabis tincture to hundreds of sufferers. Many have cancer, but there are also many other sicknesses that Tony treats, like Crohn’s disease. ‘We urge everyone who understands how shameful the cannabis laws are and the suffering they are causing to come and voice their concern and ‘Nothing but good’ express their outrage at MardiMr Balderstone said the Grass this coming weekend.

Spokesman for the Help End Marijuana Prohibition (HEMP) Embassy in Nimbin, Michael Balderstone, said Mr Bower’s supporters had promised to continue his work. Mr Balderstone said Mr Bower was now unlikely to attend Nimbin’s 21st annual cannabis law reform rally, the MardiGrass, on the first weekend of May, where he had been expected to speak.

With Integrity & Light

Four National Party state MPs and two coalition ministers have all put their names to a media release boasting $1.34 million in dental funding for the north coast. The only problem is that every single cent of the money comes from the federal ALP government. In a press release issued last week, which reads like an episode of Yes Minister, Nationals MPs Don Page, Thomas George, Geoff Provest and Chris Gulaptis publicly congratulated themselves on successfully ‘lobbying’ the minister for healthy lifestyles, Kevin Humphries, who had then ‘lobbied’ state health minister Jillian Skinner, who in turn negotiated ‘a National Partnership Agreement (NPA) on treating more public dental patients, under which NSW will receive up to $110.8 million from the Commonwealth to increase public dental services www.echo.net.au

until March 31, 2015’. All great news, no doubt. But in the third paragraph of the media release it is finally revealed that all of the money is federal funding. However the often combative federal Richmond MP Justine Elliot was far from displeased, instead praising the three MPs for their efforts in promoting a federal program. ‘I’m proud as the federal MP to have delivered increased federal funding for dental services,’ she told The Echo. ‘I’m pleased that the NSW state government and local state National Party MPs have recognised and endorsed this record funding delivered by the federal Labor government.’ The bemusing media release continues with a number of ‘cut and paste’ quotes. ‘I’m hopeful that the Northern NSW Local Health District will be successful in future funding rounds to continue to provide dental services for the people on the north coast,’ Mr

Page is quoted as saying. Member for Lismore, Thomas George, chipped in that ‘it is good that for the first time in NSW there is a comprehensive framework to reform the delivery of dental services and improve dental outcomes for

the people of NSW’. ‘The NSW government understands that good dental health is fundamental to the enjoyment of life, vital to general good health and significantly contributes to confidence and wellbeing.’

New demands on childcare workers Story & photo Eve Jeffery

Byron College Children’s Services Certificate tutor Jud King says that things have changed in recent times and there is a basic requirement for people wishing to work with young children. Jud says even services providers like family daycare must complete the Certificate III course, which she has been teaching at the Byron College since 2009. She says she has students who are already in the family daycare business who need to complete this course to continue with their work. Jud, who has worked in the industry for almost 20 years, says that in 2012 the National Quality Framework for Early Childhood Education and Care was established. This means that for the first time everybody is studying the same thing all over the nation. ‘The beauty of this course is that it is a very comprehensive foundation to Early Childhood Education,’ says Jud. ‘A lot of people think “Oh you just play with children”. Play is very important to this age group of children because this is how they learn, but the adults involved in this have a lot more responsibility than to just let them play.’ Jud says that if people didn’t want to continue with the di-

ploma, the Cert III would help them get a job in many assistant roles, for example in preschool, before and after school care and vacation care.

More responsibility than just play ‘They could use the qualification to get a job as a nanny or could run a family daycare business. Employers now know that if you come to them with a Cert III then you have the ba-

sic requirements for what they need. You don’t need a Cert II to do this course but this is a prerequisite to a diploma.’ Jud says students really enjoy the course because it covers so much. ‘It’s very comprehensive. We do things like learning child development but we also learn about the legal and ethical framework of early childhood. ‘And we do things like sustainability; that’s a very big aspect of the course. We explore natural and recycled materials

for our experiences with children. I really believe in that. ‘We also cover respectful inclusion, and respecting diversity. We are a very diverse community. We have to be aware that it is important that everyone’s background be considered and the children’s history is very important.’ A new course will be starting at the college soon. For more information contact the college at www.byroncollege.org.au or 6684 3374.

Writers’ fest to make political points With a federal election coming up, the Byron Bay Writers’ Festival will be engaging with the politics of the day. Kerry O’Brien will interview Maxine McKew, the ABC journalist turned politician who spectacularly beat prime minister John Howard in the 2007 elections, only to become a casualty of the 2010 campaign

when Labor was forced into minority government. Looking beyond the domestic and into international politics, ‘Smashing China: Australia’s Asian century’ will feature legendary Indian journalist and political commentator MJ Akbar, who will add his perspective to heavyweight Australian analysts George

Megalogenis and The Insiders’ Karen Middleton. According to organisers, ‘Indications are that 2013 will be the first year the Byron Bay Writers’ Festival sells its entire quota of earlybird discounted three day passes’. To secure an earlybird ticket, go to www.byronbaywritersfestival.com.au.

One Million Metre Ride celebration In support of the Motor Neurone Disease Foundation (MND), Stone & Wood Brewing are throwing open the gates of their brewery on Sunday May 5 to welcome the participants in the ‘One Million Metre Ride’, to help raise some funds to battle this terrible illness. It’s planned as a family friendly event, with food stalls,

live music by The Romaniacs, home brewed ginger beer and face painting for the kids and brewery tours and beer tastings for the bigger kids.

Family friendly event The highlight of the event will be the arrival of Ian Davis and Scott Sullivan, two men who, despite suffering from MND, are joining forces to ride

the ‘million metres’ from Brisbane to Sydney for the charity. Gates open at 11am, entry is free and there’ll be lots of prizes, all with the aim of raising some cash for the MND & Me Foundation. More info about MND & Me Foundation is at www.mndandme.com.au and more about the One Million Metre Ride at www.millionmetresformndcycle.com.

almost nothing which can be pinned down as a detailed, costed, commitment. For instance reducing the size of government and getting rid of red tape no doubt sounds like a laudable idea; it must be, since it is one that has occurred to every opposition since the dawn of time. But it is almost never put into practice and when it is the unintended consequences can

Now that Abbott has put the tax cut in doubt there is something close to outrage. If Labor had dared to propose such a move, it would

There is little discernible enthusiasm for the alternative; Abbott is seen not as the long awaited Messiah but simply as the lesser evil. by Mungo MacCallum be pretty horrendous – just ask Campbell Newman in Queensland. In fact, leaving aside the things that Abbott wants to abolish (the carbon and mining taxes, the low income superannuation contribution, the schoolkids bonus etc) or, perhaps, sell (of the many mooted, Medibank Private seems the most likely) the coalition has released just two positive policies: Abbott’s own Parental Leave scheme and Malcolm Turnbull’s version of National Broadband. And both have gone down like lead balloons, even among those who would normally be thought to be the coalition’s political allies. The business establishment and the conservative economists have been particularly unwelcoming about the former, and now, with the defeat of the government seen as a rolled gold certainty, they are starting to speak out. The idea that big business should have to pay for an incredibly generous benefit not

considerably cheaper. In 2015 the tax is to translate into an Emissions Trading Scheme with the carbon price equal to that prevailing in the European Union. The expectation – or at least the hope – was that this would be around $29 a tonne, but in fact it is now between $3 and $4 a tonne, considerably less than the mandatory $10 a tonne in force in Australia. So abolishing it altogether will save money, but not much – and possibly very little indeed when the necessary replanning is taken into account. Whereas Abbott’s alternative measures to deal with greenhouse gas emissions, his direct action plan, will cost heaps, is open ended and uncosted and will impose precisely the kind of bureaucratic red tape he has promised to get rid of. Admittedly the immediate bills will be paid by the taxpayers rather than the polluters, but this will be little comfort to the majority of businesses not currently involved. When the big money boys start to ask if there is any real point in abolishing Abbott’s great big new tax on everything, the basis for three years of stunts, scare campaigns and blood oaths, his very political raison d’etre – then we have problems. And when Abbott’s fellow New South Wales Liberal, premier Barry O’Farrell, publicly thumbs his nose at Abbott by signing up to Gillard’s educational reforms and repudiating Abbott’s uncompromising line on gay marriage, we know that they’re getting serious. Sorry, Tony – the party’s over. Time for a reality pill – if possible.

Coming from a self-styled economic conservative it is almost an act of treachery, certainly an unacceptable aberration. Not happy, Tony. Turnbull’s NBN Lite is less of an immediate problem, because business will still get the real thing, as promised by Labor; it’s only the hapless householders who will be dudded. But there is still a recognition that sooner or later, and probably sooner, it will have to be done properly and doing it under the coalition plan will cost a lot more than it would to just get on with Labor’s rollout. And then there is the big one, the carbon tax. Indisputably business doesn’t like it and would rather never have had it imposed in the first place. But now, nearly a year later, it has been pretty much factored in.

Damaging assault on single parents Why haven’t Justine Elliot and the many other women in our federal parliament got together and challenged the damaging assault on single parents inflicted by the Howard/Abbott government’s changes to the Sole Parent Pension? The changes were introduced in 2006 for new sole parents and were imposed on others receiving parenting payments on January 1. Almost 90 per cent of single parents are women and when their youngest child turns eight they will now be harshly penalised by the punitive Newstart regime – just as the more expensive and challenging phase of child rearing begins. Apart from the $70–$120 hit to the basic payment, sole parents will also have their earnings slashed under the Newstart tax threshold that only permits them to earn $68 a fortnight, before losing 50 cents from their welfare payment for every dollar earned.

Pattern of preferment?

I have written to the ICAC, Mayor and Council alleging specific corrupt conduct by a council officer as part of an obvious and widespread pattern of corrupt behaviour. I have stated that the officer inspected a holiday rental property, found it in breach, and took no action. The facts are agreed. Because illegal operators have been consistently winked at, they have operated flagrantly and in a manner destructive to the wellbeing of residents and the community. Courts have not been an issue in cases, such as B’n’Bs exceeding their approvals, where Council has has full power to act. I have held back to some extent, in the hope that the mayor, who I greatly respect, would deal with the problem. I now urge every resident aware of an illegal tourist business operation to do three things. First, write to Council. Second, when nothing happens, request a report on action taken, and note the names. Thirdly, take the pathetic excuse for a response and send it to the ICAC. By demonstration, by sheer weight of evidence, we can thus show forth the pattern of preferment extended to crooked operators, which I argue constitutes corrupt behaviour. Matt Hartley

We would like to reply to Vincent Lo Coco’s letter in The Echo last week. Vincent, you and your staff did purchase

As Mandy Nolan points out (Echo, April 23), women will have to work significantly longer hours to make up the difference – without actually increasing their income. It will cost an extra $350 to register the car and there are no transport concessions, no telephone or utilities allowance nor any extra supplements beyond the basic health care card and rent assistance (max $60 a week). As Newstart recipients women’s lives will be closely monitored by Centrelink and Job Network providers to ensure they are job seeking (minimum seven job applications a week) and volunteering (15–30 hours a week) or retraining. If you miss a meeting or the ‘agreed’ targets without a valid excuse, or fail to lodge the appropriate form on the right day, you will have your payments reduced or cut off altogether. Millions of dollars are squandered on the surveillance regime to en-

sure Newstart recipients have met their ‘mutual obligations’. Welfare organisations argue it is the government that has failed to meet its obligations to women and children. The UN Special Rapporteur has raised serious concerns in a letter to the federal government, claiming the Howard ‘reforms’ may be a violation of human rights including the International Convenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, which includes the right to social security, the right to an adequate standard of living and the prohibition of non-discrimination in the enjoyment of these rights. There’s also a prohibition on retrogressive measures. Even more concerning are the apparent violations of the Conventions of the Rights of the Child and on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination against Women. The Children’s Convention states that: ‘In all actions concerning children, whether undertaken

by public or private social welfare institutions, courts of laws, administrative authorities or legislative bodies, the best interests of the child shall be a primary consideration.’ When both major parties are prepared to spend billions locking up women and children in detention centres, what hope do single parents have of reversing these punitive, discriminatory changes to the welfare system? Only The Greens have championed the rights of welfare recipients and asylum seekers. Sadly only intense public pressure before the upcoming May budget might compel Justine Elliot and her party to improve the welfare of women and children in our community. If Tony Abbott wins in September, the standard of living for the most disadvantaged will inevitably get even worse.

products from our service station which does contribute to covering our costs. What you may not understand is that we have a thriving business on a day-to-day basis with many locals and tourists frequenting our service station. This business all but stops once the traffic control measures are put into place for the Bluesfest event. As you are not one of our regular customers we do not see how you can presume to comment on what a normal trading day is at Tyagarah Liberty, let alone the busy Easter period. We value our customers and we will continue to fight to make it easy for them to access us at Easter. In your letter you mention that the service station is used as a pick-up and drop-off zone which we can assure you would account for most of the cars you saw on the drive. We too cop abuse from this traffic, of which at least three quarters do not set foot into the shop. There were many times when we would have five or six cars on the drive and only one person in the shop purchasing. We do not have 5,000 cars passing our business because the traffic control measures direct them away from it! It would indeed be wonderful if five per cent of these cars contained customers; however it’s simply not the case. There were a few regular customers who braved the traffic conditions and they all commented on how quiet it was in comparison to a normal trading day. We do not see how you can justify the placing of cones and traffic controllers across

the front of our business on Sunday night. Ray Darney’s response to our original letter to the editor published in The Echo April 16 clearly stated that the traffic management control plan was to have ‘clear access for adjoining businesses’. You allege you copped abuse from taxi drivers when closing down our business. We are at a loss as to why this is our problem. We are onsite 24 hours a day and have CCTV security footage of every day and night. Security for Bluesfest patrons is surely the responsibility of Bluesfest management and staff. If you had problems at night we should have been consulted rather than blindsided. It was neither right nor fair that you closed us off from potential customers. Despite numerous requests we have never been involved in the traffic management planning which so profoundly affects our business. We’ve been here now for three Bluesfests and we’ll be here for many more – we hope in the future to be included in the consultation process.

ments to build an off-ramp from the north but they have a DA in for permanent approval. And yes, I can sympathise with the Liberty garage with no compensation or consideration of their business. Grays Lane lasted two weeks after the last grading before Easter and we are left with massive potholes and corrugations. During festival time we have no access across the highway and have to queue in festival traffic to go north or to come home via the overhead bridge. According to the Noble St Peter none of this affects us and that’s why we don’t get free tickets. While we were planting our koala trees, Council approved another development down Grays Lane which will bring

My wife and I stopped into the Byron Bay Markets on January 6. We arrived mid-morning and had difficulty finding a car park at these obviously popular markets. We parked in the tall grass well off the road alongside many other vehicles. After spending over two hours purchasing various items from the lovely stalls we returned to our car and continued our journey back to Cairns. Imagine our shock when about a month later we received a penalty notice for $232 for disobeying a no stopping sign! We thought there must have been some mistake and unfortunately did not investigate the matter immediately.

When we did investigate we were informed that we were parked in a no parking area. Well, blow me down, doesn’t the Byron Shire believe in providing appropriate signage? Obviously we were not the only ones who did not see any signs warning people that they could not park in this area. Market day is certainly a money spinner for the Byron Bay Council at the cost of their visitors. I guess we won’t be calling in again.

Beware the state’s motives

Don’t be fooled. The recently released report ‘Future Directions for NSW Local Government’ runs to 64 pages. One paragraph of 30 words on page 18 reveals the real truth. ‘Over recent years the NSW government has substantially reduced the scope for councils to levy financial contributions on developments in order to fund new and improved inRobert Dalla Pozza frastructure and community Mt Sheridan, Qld facilities.’

Catalyst for action

Congratulations to the ABC journalist Matt Peacock who has been elected to the ABC Board as staff-elected director. Matt recently visited Byron Bay as a guest of Northern Rivers Friends of ABC to talk about his work researching and reporting on the asbestos industry. His book Killer Company was based on this work which in turn inspired the award winning TV series Devil’s Dust later screened on ABC1. Corporate tactics that had allowed James Hardie to conceal the dangers of their workplace were thus exposed, a timely reminder of the work done by the ABC, very often a catalyst for social and political action – think Four Corners, Background Briefing, etc. After all, if not the ABC who else under the grim prospect of an

Beware the motives of a state government that tells local councils they are not managing their finances properly while at the same time making it easier for property developers to make massive financial gains. You may well ask: ‘At whose expense and at what future cost to the community?’ The bottom line on local council finances should not just focus on expenditures. It’s just as much about a council’s

ability to raise the required revenue. Any genuine review of local government needs to consider both sides of this financial equation. If not, it runs the risk of being labelled a cynical political exercise aimed at transferring wealth out of local communities and into the hands of private individuals. Am I mistaken or have we seen this sort of game before? Cr Paul Spooner

Plaza’, being Mr Badalotti of the southern end as well as the supermarket building. I cannot understand why the Byron Plaza is referred to as ‘The Woolies Plaza’. Whatever did this ruthless juggernaught do to deserve the honour of having Byron’s one and only plaza named after it? And it’s only a tenant! On page 7 of the same Echo, we learn that Woolworths donated a $50 voucher to the Schoolies event. Maybe we Jill Keogh could rename the plaza ‘Fifty Federal Bucks Plaza’ to commemorate their generosity.

Abbott-led government? However it is now time for the triennial funding review in the May budget and the ABC needs more money.

So how many massacres in America or here would it take for Robert Borsak of the Shooters & Fishers Party to agree to stricter gun control in NSW and throughout Australia? What Robert is urging people in America to do is ‘fight and fight hard’ for less gun control (which the senate said no to).

NSW marine policy lacks sense of environmental history Story & photo Mary Gardner

On the shore of the ocean, all dead woods are equal now. Whether as wrecks of trees or old ships from the 1800s – all are surrendered to the salty water and the heavy sand. I search each timber for its own share of history. Perhaps they were young woods once long

ago but in different countries. They knew weather, birds and maybe children too. To give boat timber an advantage against ‘shipworms’, builders plated it with copper. Regardless, the wrecks of both ship and tree now have the telltale tunnels of these shipworms. These are actually burrowing clams. They simply

housed themselves as best they could, without fussing about the origins of materials. Touching the wood, I handle the new maritime history: a fresh awareness of the marine world not only changing humans but itself greatly changed by them. Remember how we all talked of the sea as timeless and eternal, a watery realm where humans had no impact? The new maritime histories around the world have shifted tectonic plates of thinking and a tsunami of insight destroys our old certainty. The ocean itself has a history, before us and intertwined with us. From the submarine trenches of lava to the marine scent in the air, every aspect of the ocean has this past. Some of the deepest and harshest marks of the passage of time can be read in the bodies of our marine life. These species are the companion marine animals of human cultures all around the world. Same as elsewhere, we built our lives around them here. Think of your lifetime of encounters with the whale, dolphin and seal. The flathead, snapper, whiting and mulloway. The shark, turtle and sting ray. The sponge and the beche de mer. The oyster, the edible ones and those with pearls. The beach worm and pipi. You’ve grown. But what’s happened to all of them and the very waters in which they live? These questions haunt me on a weary night as I page through the thin NSW draft marine-based industry policy released last week. Public sub-

missions are due before June 17 (www.planning.nsw.gov. au/proposals). The last few of these 19 pages are a table listing the 14 waterways of north and mid north coast which reach the sea. Their characteristics are ‘navigability’, ‘physical constraints’, ‘existing waterfront activity’ and ‘special attributes’. This last category is a tally of some natural features such as mangroves, salt marshes or reserves and licensed local fishing or aquaculture. Curiously, the references are all government documents from 2006, though viewed online in 2010. Yes, three years ago. Nowhere is there any sense of history. Nothing suggests what these communities of people or animals have gone through or dream of for the

future. Breakwaters are givens. Navigability is either ‘more’ or ‘less’. There is no story of the modifications over time: the silting, the pollution, the fate of former industries, their modern legacies. Some environmental legislation is listed but basically, all is a blank canvas for ‘industries that depend on access to a navigable waterway’. The policy is to help approvals and rezoning. Whatever new impacts expected or ‘required’ (such as dredging) – all is good as long as it can be ‘sustainably managed, ameliorated or offset’. The last word means ‘to compensate or make amends for’. Without any sense of the present burden of history, what can this mean? Other NSW regional planning documents explain more.

Recurring words are ‘gas fired electricity plants’, ‘coal’, ’natural gas’ and ‘coal seam gas’. Absent are ‘climate change’ or ‘solar and wind power’. So are terms from recent history such as ‘fracking hazards’ and ‘gas free communities’. Missing are all the words acknowledging our unique Australian marine contexts, our past and clues to our future. Lacking is an accounting of our valuable social and natural capital. This includes the marine animals and their companion species – us. Mary is searching for information about the Byron Bay Fishing Co-op and other north coast maritime industries.

Learn Infant Massage and watch your baby thrive! Fun for baby and parent too!

By Mira (Carole) Stannard as told to Graham Askey

Individual Tuition or Small Group Classes #Z 3PTFNBSZ -PHBO

Everything passes, everything changes. Just do what you think you should do. Bob Dylan’s lyric certainly applied to Australia in 1972. The Menzies era had almost passed, the government was about to change. Everything was changing for Carole Eliott too. A new man, Norman Stannard, was on the scene and the new skill of acupuncture had been learned. Then Johnny Allen pointed her in a new direction.

ALL YEAR ROUND IN OUR INDOOR HEATED SALT WATER POOL

FROM 6 MONTHS OLD

‘An alternative festival! That’s for me; I was into everything alternative. At a meeting with Johnny, Graeme Dunstan, A birthing event with Carole and Norman in attendance in 1979. Col James and many others, I threw an I Ching for the festival. It was qain (heaven) over kun (earth) which translates as peace or pervading, or the hermetic – as above so below. This is how Norman and I became the unofficial healers at Aquarius.

We had to wade through three swelling creeks and only just made it across in time. With no power or piped water we worked into the night with only candlelight to see by.

Gum tree home We travelled up shortly before the festival and found an old gum tree which had been hollowed out by fire. Made cosy with sleeping bags and hung with bells, flowers and incense, it became our little faraway tree, a cubby house nest for the festival. It was little – our feet stuck out. At night we’d light ourselves a candle and look up to the diamond sky and feel a strong connection with the celestial sphere. Our festival days were grounded in our work in the ‘Healing Centre’. Col James had made us a Buckminster Fuller inspired parachute dome. Depending on how you see things it looked like either a lotus flower or a fried egg. Acupuncture was a new thing and people were excited to try it out. We were kept very busy, right through the festival, treating all kinds of upsets and ailments, real and imagined. On meeting, for the first time, the festival’s official medico Dr Harry Freeman he said he was not so busy. No surprise. If anything was going to sell at this countercultural festival it would be alternative medicine. We continued our practice after the festival, in a little house near the police station, treating those who were staying on and quite a few of the locals as well. One of them was the local copper, Bob Marsh. He marched in, dropped his equipment belt and holster on the bed and complained. ‘I can’t shoot straight.’ That must have been very disturbing for our previous patients, who were out the back, relaxing with a joint. It turned out that they weren’t the targets he had www.echo.net.au

in mind. He had to pass an annual fitness test and needed a tremor stilled in his gun hand. Over the next three years we were back and forth to Sydney and overseas for a year completing a compulsory external unit for Hippy U – ‘The India Trip’. Back then Phra Kantipalo, an English monk from the Thai tradition, was our spiritual education tutor. All the while we really wanted to settle down back in Nimbin and become a part of what we thought was this great, amazing community which was going to transform the world. We had purchased a share in the old Nimbin RSL building and from 1975 used some rooms there to operate our healing centre.

Trusting to fate At that time many of the new settlers were practising what today is called ‘free-birthing’, ie no professionals of any kind in attendance, just mum, hopefully dad and, trusting to fate, the new baby. We had been, as observers only, to one of those births and I figured, since they were going to happen anyway, that it would be safer and more reassuring if an old-fashioned midwife could be present at these hippy homebirths. That is how my career in midwifery began. People, trusting me as a mother of four, asked for help. The medical establishment, including Harry, were really antagonistic at first and I was threatened by the Nurses’ and Midwife’s Board who tried hard to get us barred. John Seed, however, had checked with the civil liberties mob and found that it wasn’t illegal to deliver babies

at home as long as it was a certain distance from the nearest obstetrics ward and a GP was in the loop and able to attend the fairly rare cases where there might be some complications.

First birth I remember our very first birth. Our home, in the 1976 wet season, was a house at the edge of town in High Street, shared with Graham Irvine. John and Greta Seed lived in the nearby bails. We were sitting on the veranda, gazing out into buckets of rain, when I heard our decrepit farm gate scrape and saw a familiar woman sloshing up to the house in her gumboots. ‘Sally, what are you doing?’ ‘Oh, I’ve come to get you. I’m in labour.’ With that she headed back to her house, way up the top of Gungas Road. So we put together our stuff which, because it was for our first delivery, had been exceedingly well sterilised and followed on after her. We had to wade through three swelling creeks and only just made it across in time. With no power or piped water we worked into the night with only candlelight to see by. In readiness we’d laid out all our sterile gear and then, right before the final push, a frightened mouse ran across the lot closely chased by the cat. I recently caught up with Rowie, our first home-born baby. She now has a grownup daughter who has just given birth to a baby boy. With Robin, the matriarch, this makes four generations. The Healing Centre, renamed ‘Birth and Beyond’, was then used to hold classes and

pre-natal examinations. We must have helped more than a hundred post-Aquarian children to get born. On top of that there were hundreds more, all around the world, during our sojourns overseas. Every birth was a challenge. Sometimes it was life and death stuff. Because I lack any formal training, I’ve learned to trust my intuition and the psychic skills that I’ve picked up along the way. Casting back to our early times in Nimbin my fondest memory is of being in the nuddy most of the time and enjoying the sensuous feeling of the creek water flowing over my body. I loved joining in with ‘May the long-time sunshine upon you’. It felt like we were vibrating from the heart, singing with your whole essence and connecting with everyone else in the song. I think I was much more of a Cosmic than a Doer.’

Here and now Mira (Carole) Stannard now lives in Ballina with her husband Tansen (Norman), grows vegies, and still swims in the bollocky, but these days in a suburban backyard pool. She is very connected with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren and feels very blessed in her life. She’s wrong about one thing, though. She can’t only be an airy fairy cosmic. With hundreds of children around the globe calling her Goddessmother she must be a downto-earth doer as well. Yin and Yang embodied. The I Ching hexagram, thrown in 1972, has been shown to be remarkably accurate.

MardiGrass 2013 will be using a new venue in the middle of the village behind the Town Hall on private land. While weather is the biggest factor, the natural amphitheatre drains well and is next to the town hall for a wet weather retreat. The main entry will be on the road beside the hall. The new venue is part of the land used in 1973 and there are plans

S U N D AY 2.3 0 P M In the meantime, this annual event is a POLITICAL PROTEST RALLY. There is renewed belief in cannabis law reform thanks to the changes in America, and the current NSW inquiry into Medical Cannabis adds to the anticipation. Their report comes out only a couple of weeks after MardiGrass and even though the NSW government is conservative, we remain optimistic that time for change has arrived.

Don your ďŹ nest feathers and fanciful frippery and head on down to the main event: the colourful MardiGrass parade, from 2.30pm on Sunday.

A full program of musical delights, creative fourms, informative talks and hands-on workshops will be held over the length of the MardiGrass, so get online and check it out at nimbinmardigrass.com.

Police are always concerned about our MardiGrass protest plans and it’s agreed that people are not to trespass on the police station land or to blow smoke in any police faces. Either act will give cause for arrest.

&Political<

Police want the MardiGrass weekend to be non-confrontational. It’s critical that protesters are peaceful and respect is maintained. They don’t make the laws and they support our right to protest.

MardiGrass will become a festival when we can celebrate the herb without fear of prosecution and persecution. When the Police Riot Squad have a oat in the street parade behind the Ganja Faeries, Big Joint and POLITE, then we really will have a proper festival and celebration.

This year has been crazily busy for us! Tiny tour of the three Lizottes in NSW with The Audreys; Moomba Festival, Melbourne; Yackandandah Music Festival; Adelaide Fringe Festival; recording in our studio My Sweet Mule; Mount Beauty Music Muster; now touring with Hayward Williams (USA)! Why did you decide to go to America? We got invited to do an official showcase at the Folk Alliance in Memphis. What was it like performing in Nashville? That’s like musical mecca for country isn’t it? Fantastic fun. We got to play at the legendary Bluebird Cafe with our expat buddy Audrey Auld. How did the two of you come to cross musical paths? I was up at the Tamworth Country Music Festival back in 2000 busking with my band Problem Pony. We went to see Jimmy Little play and his guitar player was the very handsome Chris Parkinson. It kind of happened from there.

From July 26 to 28 this Eden will be transformed into a nirvana for music and arts enthusiasts. Splendour at the new site offers the Tipi Village and the Global Village, back with all the performances, workshops, market stalls and global food fair.

What for you is the essence of good song crafting? I wish I knew – it’s a mystery to me still. Every song comes differently. Some come quickly in a rush, almost complete, while others may come in fragments over many years. How do the two of you collaborate to create a song? We don’t really. We each go off to our separate rooms at different times and really only come together when we’ve got a fair idea of where it’s heading. Sometimes I

might throw in some lyrics or Chris will suggest a change or a middle eight. Other times we will sit around and just noodle about with some chords and come up with ideas. We’ve got hundreds of ideas but they don’t always turn into complete songs. What should we expect for the Mullum show? A cross-pollination of acts: rollicking good time with some beautiful music, stories and musicians flying by the seat of their pants.

KEEPING THE DREAM ALIVE After sellout recitals in Byron Bay, virtuoso didjeridu player Si Mullumby brings his Dream Drone sound experience to Uki at the magic setting of the Gymea Eco Retreat & Spa. After 20 years Si Mullumby has developed a unique way of playing for the Dream Drone sound experience. The instrument is used in its capacity to create the primeval sound. This sound has no regular rhythm or melodic hook lines. It works through vibration and the movement of these soundwaves in the room, in the body and thus in the mind. This sound has the power to take the listener on an inner journey. The Dream Drone is not tied to any belief system. It only requires that the listener be receptive to the sound. Places are limited. Tickets $30 and are available online at www.GLOdance.com or from Organic Revolution in Murwillumbah & Happy High Herbs in Uki. Saturday at the Gymea Eco Retreat Uki, 5.30pm.

both broke and not in artistic control. So once I was emancipated, I concentrated on my live performances and doing non-exclusive recordings, which is why you’ll hear my voice on about a million records, mostly in the global club music scene. So what changed? I guess time heals all wounds; but the biggest catalyst was that last season I started doing a rendition of the Leonard Cohen masterpiece Hallelujah and so many would people asked if I have it on CD, I actually started considering putting on disc. So this year I did just that with a few other ‘showstoppers’ from the gig. It felt good getting the band in the studio and recording live powerhouse versions of the song as opposed to polished studio mixes.

GIVING NATURAL BIRTH A PUSH One of the things I miss most about being 45 and having a husband with a vasectomy is that I am not going to have another baby. I know that’s hard to believe, especially from a girl like me who looks perpetually pregnant. But it’s true. Although this kiln could physically still possibly throw another pot, or at the very least an ashtray, she’s decided to close up shop and dedicate herself to maintaining the pots she’s already made. I know it will sound crazy but I actually enjoy childbirth. In fact I’d rate my four births as the four most amazing, intense and joyful moments of my life. When I was prepping for my first delivery I really didn’t have a clue what I was in for, but by all accounts it sounded pretty horrible. Women told their war stories. Gruesome pain followed by vaginal mutilation. That was the key message in the stories I’d heard. My entire life I’d heard people speak about childbirth in strictly negative terms: that it was painful, terrible, frightening and dangerous. That it wrecked your body. That your husband shouldn’t see it because he’ll never want to go down there again. That you’re never the same downstairs. Or upstairs for that matter. That you’ll be covered in stretch marks. Birth was a necessary evil, God’s cruel punishment and women endured the horror silently on their backs. Childbirth was strictly medical and was best done fully loaded on drugs in a hospital. Better still, if you could organise it, have the thing cut out. Women told me stories of 43 hour labours, 56 hour labours. Labours that went for two weeks. I tried to fathom being in pain for that long and still remaining conscious. I was pregnant with my first child and I was frightened. I didn’t want to break my vagina. I was just starting to like it. So I went to birth class. Back in 1994 the Byron Shire had a thriving home birth culture. Midwives hadn’t been hit with the hefty insurance costs so home birth was very accessible. Women were popping them out like

champagne corks. In the lounge room, in purpose build birth yurts or in inflatable pools they’d bought from Kmart and erected in the back yard. One girl had her baby at the café, and then went back to her chai latte. There were about 25 women in my birth class and all of them were planning a home birth. Except me. I was living in a shed at the time and the prospect of giving birth in downtown Marvell Street with an audience of backpackers was unappealing. I’d been visiting Mullumbimby Birth Centre. It was new and clean, the midwives were advocates of the natural birth philosophy and the room looked out at Mt Chincogan. I reckoned I could dilate there without fear of someone wandering in from the street to see if we had Tally-hos or knew the way to Nimbin. I had considered booking into the Beach Hotel and having a crack at that nice-looking swimming pool, and I knew they had lovely fresh towels. But the thought of guests having full view from their balconies deterred even an aspiring showgirl like me. Labour was everything I had been told: it was pain beyond pain. But it was also amazing. Primitive. Powerful. And noisy. And short. Three hours for the first, eight for the second, an hour and a half for the third and three hours for the last one. After the last one I realised something about myself I hadn’t known. I am addicted to childbirth. The adrenalin rush after the final push is unbelievable. There’s no drug on the planet that can compare to that. And that perfect little newborn baby? I was gone, hook, line and cervix. Natural Birth – better than winning Lotto. I wish I’d had 10. These days the only pushing I’ll be doing is in the queue at the supermarket. Celebrate and support our vibrant birthing culture by attending a screening of Birth Story: Ina May Gaskin & The Farm Midwives at 1.30pm on Sunday at Mullumbimby Civic Centre. The event celebrates the first anniversary of Mullumbimby Birth Centre’s Homebirth Program on International Midwives Day. Panel discussion on local birthing and midwifery options follow the film.

s r a t S WITH LILITH Taurus Venus is a material girl, Taurus Mars lives in a material world. And Taurus Sun/Mercury suggest this week’s business and pleasure will be conducted over food‌

E ARIES: While recent weeks have had you exuberant enthusiasts pumped, now you can gear down to cruise control as energetics slide from generous to careful, wildfire ideas to sense pleasures, from immediate satisfaction to long range planning, and quantum leaps to a slower, step by step progression. F TAURUS: This physically invigorating, astromagical week enhances your magnetism and sends plenty of friendly attention in your direction. And yes, these distractions can affect your performance in the world of work and social obligations, but helpful friends and benefactors will also be there to give you a hand. G GEMINI: This week cares about creature comforts: food on the table, funds in the bank, petrol in the tank, loved ones to hug, brand names and thread count. Gemini’s the ideas sign, so good luck getting any concepts that across you can’t, taste, see, hear, smell or feel. H CANCER: This budget adjusting, business oriented, security conscious week prefers organization to inspiration. It’s an excellent time for developing specific skills to upgrade your professional portfolio and practical tools to make your personal life more workable - all of which may involve giving something away‌

Mungo’s Crossword

I LEO: Sometimes appearances seem solidly material and absolutely real. But there are always so many invisible influences and unseen ingredients we don’t know about operating in every situation, so this week you’re just going to have to trust your gut, listen to your intuition and follow your nose. J VIRGO: With your astro-ruler Mercury making a planetary quartet in Taurus, life couldn’t get any further down to earth. Like The Byrds sang: To every thing there is a season, and this autumn week’s for drawing in, reserving resources, conserving energy, pacing yourself and saving rather than spending. K LIBRA: If you’ve been a little off track lately, this transit brings reality checks and course corrections, but at a cruisy Venusian pace. Plus it’s a brilliant week for all artistic endeavours. Just don’t try and reason with citizens on a mission - step aside and let them lumber past. L SCORPIO: This week shifts focus from elation to maintenance, to servicing and nurturing relationships so they’re more smooth and efficient. To dropping having the last word with others just as stubborn as you. All nowhere near as dull as it sounds when it’s also such a sexy transit‌ M SAGITTARIUS: The present Tauran orientation puts you in touch with the physical world, so spend

poking fun at France’s ongoing love affair with Woody Allen. Journal de France (PG), a documentary by Raymond Depardon and Claudine Nougaret, given a special screening at the Cannes Film Festival last year, depicts the ordinary life and landscapes of France. Showing at 1.30pm Sunday 5th, it will be followed by La Vie d’un Autre (M), starring Juliette Binoche and Mathieu Kassovitz – another romantic comedy about second chances. Tickets are available online at www. afnorthcoast.org.au or at the Ballina Fair Cinemas.

whatever time you can nurturing in nature – walking, gardening, growing herbs, home cooking‌ Then prioritize, take care of immediate needs, and decide what can and can’t be achieved this week. N CAPRICORN: You might want to cut back on excess commitments so you’re not too booked up and busy to enjoy this week’s extremely promising physical possibilities. And also since it’s a somewhat stingy transit, make the effort to stay generous with your words, wallet, time and ideas. O AQUARIUS: While this week presents some stubborn standoffs for fixed-sign Aquirkyians, it also provides the necessary planetary push to resolve them. And while you don’t back down easily, appreciating other people’s needs and understanding their motivation will go a long way towards defusing power struggles. P P ISCES: Money, honey - it’s this week’s emotional issue, but at the end of the day practical considerations still dictate the play. This ground under your feet transit won’t drop a magic pie from the sky in your lap – it expects you to earn your rewards.

COMEDY AT THE COURTHOUSE Comedy isn’t just fun, its therapeutic! So why wouldn’t you go to a free standup comedy open mic at the Courthouse on Thursday? It’s a riot, with eight or more new and visiting comedians getting up to give their jokes some air time and Mandy Nolan as MC giving some of her new material a trot; this is a night well worth attending! This Thursday at 8pm. Strap yourself in for one hell of a ride. Courthouse Mullumbimby. Free.

book Reviews book Reviews book Reviews book Reviews Left Hand Drive by Craig McGregor, Affirm Press, paperback RRP $24.95

Social history is to the forefront of local awareness at the moment, what with celebrations for the fortieth anniversary of the Aquarius Festival coming up. Before there was Aquarius, however, there was Craig McGregor, the social historian described by Bob Dylan as ‘hip to the hip but not really hip’. At a time when many of that hip generation are starting to think about hip replacements, McGregor is still travelling to the beat of a different drum, most recently in his unapologetically lefty memoir, Left Hand Drive. It is not polemic; it is a lively, touching personal journey through ‘interesting times’. McGregor, who lives near Byron Bay, started recording the last 48 years in book form in 1965 with This Surfing Life, celebrating the young tearaways who ‘discovered’ the coast before the hippies got to the hinterland. Since then he’s covered an extraordinary range of subjects, from politics (People, Politics and Pop, 1968), to nature (The Great Barrier Reef, 1974) and to class (Class In Australia, 1997) – 22 titles in all, and those supplemented by countless articles for the press. McGregor estimates his output at eight million words. A few years back it was thought Craig’s love affair with words might have to stop when he was cut down by a stroke. But fortunately that was not the case

and Left Hand Drive is a testament to his skill to still explain things clearly and entertainingly. It is a history lesson to be savoured and a loving tribute to Craig’s wife Jane. Love, passion and volatility are consuming influences in his writing, from his description of life at the elite private school Cranbrook – breeding ground of social and political commentators, including Mungo MacCallum and the actor Garry McDonald, creator of the infamous Norman Gunston – to his prescient stalking of John Howard on the campaign trail in the 80s – that ‘narrow, scrabbling, fox-terrier of a man who has shown an amazing capacity to survive – qualities which may yet carry him through to the prime ministership’. McGregor’s conclusion in the book is that ‘nothing is predictable any more’. An overview of his times seems to show that has always been the case. ~ Michael McDonald

On their search they find Will, another word hunter. Some men in grey robes are trying to catch the word hunters. Al, Lexi, Will and Granddad are all word hunters because their surname is Hunter. They find a particular word and they travel in time to places related to the word. With every word they will travel to two or more places and in every place they have to find a portal that will take them to another place. Eventually after a few places they will be home. Some parts are a bit hard to follow, but I loved this book. ~ Ivy Hoskins, Byron Community Primary School

Good News, Bad News by Maggie Groff, MacMillan, paperback RRP $27.99

Word Hunters – The Lost Hunters by Nick Earls and Terry Whidborne, UQP, RRP $14.95

I enjoyed this book because it’s extremely exciting and in some parts a bit scary. The main characters are Al and Lexi. Al is a boy, Lexi is a girl, and they travel in time. The main focus is to find their granddad, Al, who had gone missing, years ago.

From the get-go Groff establishes her protagonist as a likeable character. In first person narrative Scout reveals she’s a diabetic tea-drinker from Byron Bay with a keen (and sometimes corny) sense of humour and a smart cat called Chairman Meow. A little bawdy, a little romantic, a loving mother – what’s not to like? Scout also indulges in yarn bombing, that most endearing form of street comment, with the Guerrilla Knitters Institute. (For a local example, see www.facebook.com/ KnittingNannasAgainstGas.) Groff ’s prose is spare and smart, though not like Chandler’s. It’s chatty, cheery, friendly. Chick-lit meets crime thriller might not be every reader’s cup of tea – clothes are described in some detail – but her style is streets ahead of some American crime writers who make the bestseller lists. Her plot twists are carefully doled out throughout the story, so there’s sufficient suspense among the banter. As to the plot, it begins with one of the mysterious Anemone Sisters contacting Scout with the news that a former lover believed dead 30 years ago has turned up alive. Scout sets out to find out if this is true, on the way juggling with family and personal dramas, mostly involving hunky men – and with guerrilla knitting. Being more romp than rampage, there’s not much of the gore I mentioned earlier though Scout is no shirk when it comes to the tough going. ~ Michael McDonald

Crime fiction is very popular, and for good reason. Not only Towards The Light: The do you get gore in countless Story of the Struggles variations but also a test of your problem-solving skills. The genre for Liberty and Rights also attracts good writers, from That Made the Modern Raymond Chandler (http:// West home.comcast.net/~mossrobert) by A C Grayling, Bloomsbury, to Peter Temple (http://bit.ly/ paperback RRP $22.99 ZNoCPO) and Donna Leon (http://www.donnaleon.net/). New contributor to the evils that human flesh is heir to is north coast author Maggie Groff, who has also worked as a columnist and published two domestic humour books. Her Good News, Bad News follows up on the adventures of investigative journalist Scout Davis, introduced to us in 2012 in Mad Men, Bad Girls.

have already begun’. Much of the struggle is between the fixed ideas of Christian church leaders and scientists, such as Galileo, who have the audacity to base their inquiries on evidence rather than received doctrine. The application of reason leads to breaking the awful fetters of the need for ‘salvation’ and the church’s stranglehold on so-called moral behaviour. But on the way there, no-one expects the Spanish Inquisition! Grayling is an admirer of historian Lord Acton (1834–1902) and his book is prefaced by an excerpt from Lord Acton’s wonderful 1877 address ‘The History of Freedom in Antiquity’ to the Bridgnorth Institute, which you

can read in full at http://www. acton.org/research/historyfreedom-antiquity. Grayling also gives due credit to the individuals throughout history who imparted wisdom – Erasmus, Locke, Wollstonecraft, Russell, for example. Towards The Light is a good refresher course for historyminded humanists and an excellent primer for understanding the importance of civil liberties, which are always under threat from ‘the licence of an unrestrained clique’.

While the wince-inducing first three words of the title suggest an orgy of New Age thinking, author A C Grayling’s feet are firmly planted on the ground. A noted philosopher and humanist, Grayling is concerned with the gradual establishment of individual liberties and rights over the centuries – and how to keep them. He takes the 15th century as his starting point and traces the individual’s hard-won escape from tyranny of church, state and monarchy, noting for the reader’s benefit – if you can afford to read a book, you must be doing okay – that ‘today’s ordinary citizen has what only very few privileged people had, and has it because much effort and blood secured it’. Unfortunately the impact of terrorism on liberty leads secular states to curtail liberty to defend it – or so they say – and Grayling worries that ‘the process of losing our inheritance of liberty might

In action flicks, 3D is employed ostensibly to heighten the viewer’s visual experience by presenting a picture whose depth and perspective accords more closely with reality. But for me, the opposite occurs – the result looks disarmingly artificial. In animation, however, 3D comes into its own, creating the imagery of floating, kaleidoscopic, multifaceted realms that never cease to delight and astound. It is certainly the case in this little beauty, co-written and directed by Kirk De Micco and Chris Sanders (the latter being also responsible for the similarly big-hearted How To Train Your Dragon). Things could not have got off to a better start when a score of ankle-biters sitting nearby sang along with the otherwise over-exposed

Honda ad – ‘anything you can do, I can do better…’, and a celebratory mood overtook us all as we were taken back to prehistoric times and the cave of the dysfunctional Croods. Grug (voiced by Nicolas Cage) has impressed upon his family of Ugga (Catherine Keener), their lame-brained son Thunk (Clark Duke), adventurous teen daughter Eep (Emma Stone) and Granny (Cloris Leachman) that it is an unquestioning fear of anything new that has helped them survive the constant threats of a hostile environment. Eep, however, wants to get out of the cave and reach for the sun, and when she meets Guy (Ryan Reynolds), everybody, willing or not, is embarked on a journey into the future. The theme of generational rebellion and change, of boldly

confronting the unknown, is an old chestnut, but it is one that surely will not go astray at a time when the addictive grip of social media is, contrary to its own inestimable self-regard, locking us tightly into a wireless, worldwide uniformity. The drawings are beautiful – Eep is quite the young hornbag – the

characterisations archetypal but consistent, the humour sharp and the soundtrack never fails to hit the right note. As Grug faces his ultimate challenge, Guy calls for ‘romance, drama, sincerity and movement’. The movie delivers them all. ~ John Campbell

screen and pocket more money than is spent on hospitals in half a dozen African nations. The bad guy here is initially presented as an Osama bin Laden type (Ben Kingsley), but he is only a front because, as pontificated by Tony Stark (Downey Jr), jihadists are merely demons created in our own minds (an idea that might be a tough sell in Boston at the moment). The real villain, the threat to civilisation, is Guy Pearce. As Aldrich Killian he has held a festering grudge since an egotistical young Stark brushed him when he tried to present him with a new invention. Among other specky things, the invention allows people to grow new limbs when the others are lopped off, but if it goes wrong it can turn you into lava. Whatever

– after Stark’s Malibu mansion has been reduced to rubble, things are looking pretty crook for the US and its Commander in Chief. Fortunately for the free world, Stark is inspired by an to scream headlong into the ‘bang’, ‘crash’, ‘kapow’ finale. The

only intrigue came at the end, when Pepper (Gwyneth Paltrow) and Stark spoke intimately – except that their eyes were not meeting. I wondered whether the scene had been shot without their being there together. ~ John Campbell

the fire brigade smash their way into a Paris apartment they find the elegantly dressed corpse of an elderly woman, at peace on her bed. It is Anna (Emmanuelle Riva), but there is no sign of her husband Georges (Jean-Louis Trintignant). From this moment we flash back to find them enjoying a night out at a piano recital – Anna had been a renowned musician and teacher. They get the bus home, Georges has a nightcap and at breakfast Anna has an episode of impenetrable blankness. An unsuccessful operation fails to rectify the malfunction in her brain and after a series of strokes Georges finds himself hapless as his darling wife begins to descend into a vegetative state. It is not a cheery scenario, granted, but Michael Haneke’s award winning movie (at the

Oscars and Cannes), quiet, dimly lit and enclosed almost entirely within the walls of the couple’s home, draws you deeper by the minute into love most private, enduring and, in its inevitable way, cruel. Riva and Trintignant are magnificent, as is Isabelle Huppert as their distraught

daughter Eva. We end where we began, but having arrived with Georges at a moment of pure transcendence. Earlier, looking through a photograph album, Anna pauses to say ‘It’s beautiful.’ ‘What is beautiful?’ ‘Life.’ ~ John Campbell

On and on it dragged… I wondered what might come first: the shattering of my eardrums or the dislocation of my jaw through yawning. I’ve learnt not to refer to graphic novels as cartoons. They are now a highly regarded artistic genre (I blame Roy Lichtenstein) and even if, like me, you think that the form attained its apogee with Donald and Goofy, and only the slow kids (nearly always boys) kept reading them into adulthood, just look at how Marvel and the makers of super-hero movies are laughing all the way to the bank.

We don’t bat an eyelid as the body count soars in much of mainstream cinema. Dying heroically, tragically, in picaresque close up or as a background extra, clinically or with blood hosing from arteries, they drop like flies on the big screen. Death is so distant, we are immune to it until it makes an unwelcome visit to our own cocooned world. It might taunt us while we lie awake in the wee small hours, but what we’re really afraid of is old age. The ever increasing popularity of cosmetic surgery is a stark indicator of the terror with which we react to the passage of time. So it is confronting in the extreme to see a film that deals so uncompromisingly with the unspeakable. When police and

The man who made it possible for you to post pictures of your dinner out to all your friends is portrayed in The Social Network (GO!, Saturday, 8.50pm), adapted from Ben Mezrich’s 2009 book The Accidental Billionaires. The story of the founding of Facebook and the resulting lawsuits scored eight Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director. For one shining moment the nerds of the internet got to seem cool. 2. It may be getting a little elderly, but Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life (7Mate, Sunday, 8.45pm) has some very funny sketches in it – who could forget Mr Creosote? If you don’t know Monty Python, acquaint yourself now, and maybe track down Holy Grail and Life of Brian as well. Warning: may include satire, irony and silliness.

RED CABBAGE WITH APPLES Dice 500 grams bacon and brown (ideally in lard, but a mixture of butter and oil is fine) then place in the base of a casserole. On top arrange one large red cabbage you have cored and sliced, season with salt and pepper and freshly grated nutmeg, then pour over 250ml beef stock, a good slosh of brandy and six sliced sweet apples. Cover and simmer for 2½ hours, checking the liquid hasn’t evaporated from time to time. When cabbage is tender, stir everything together and serve.

Dinner: Mon-Sat 11 Fletcher St, Byron Bay Bookings Essential 6685 7557

Muoi’s Feast has created a strong following since opening in 2003. Winning numerous awards for its international cuisine, the Asian section of the menu is the predominant favourite. Enjoy for dinner.

TWEED HEADS

Muoi’s Feast

And at St Elmo their exciting, regularly changing menu boasts proper tapas, small snacks designed to consume with a drink of two, utilising ingredients like blood pudding and pork belly and white anchovies, chorizo and Manchego and pickles. This is the place to go when, rather than the conventional restaurant choices of entree and main, your mood inclines more toward the conviviality of chatting to friends over a series of nibbly little things to eat and and an unusual bottle of wine from perhaps Chile.

vegetable whose beauty goes largely untapped if not positively ignored. Probably its most common culinary use is in the German dish sauerbraten or sauerkraut whereby its natural nutty flavour is virtually pickled out of existence. However, the Germans also know to stew it, rendering it sweet, succulent, lush. Brown sugar and apples and onion are frequently added as are rich dark wintry meats such as game, duck, beef. And pork: smoked pork or ham or bacon or sausages. At Rose’s simply perfect Sunday lunch recently she presented slow-roasted lamb that barely required slicing, so fall-apart tender it was, along with creamy-centred roast potatoes and vibrant green beans and red cabbage. Her red cabbage – shredded, braised, buttery, honey-scented, spiked with plump sultanas – was absolutely glorious, complementing the lamb so well, suiting the crisp air outside so beautifully, reminding me to utilise this much under-rated vegetable more. Perhaps trying Careme’s recipe from 1835.

SUPPLIERS/CATERING

BYRON BAY CONTINUED

St Elmo in Byron Bay is one of the few places around offering authentic tapas. Ah, this muchappropriated word, gaining such currency over the last decade that it became ubiquitous, regardless of cuisine type. Japanese tapas, French tapas, Mexican tapas, when the only cuisine entitled to it is Spanish.

RUBY is a cat that loves human company. She is friendly and loves affection. At the moment she is a round peg in a square hole. Being confined to one room with lots of other cats is not for our Ruby. She is very much an honorary human. She will be a wonderful sole cat companion, and will reward you well. All cats are desexed, vaccinated and microchipped.

Wii for older Australians? Can interactive computer games enhance the strength and increase the fitness of older Australians? That’s the question Southern Cross University academics from the School of Health and Human Sciences will investigate when they run a pilot study using a Nintendo Wii games console to focus on strength and balance exercises to prevent falls and strengthen the lower limbs in older adults. ‘There are a number of active Wii games that we can use with our participants to see whether it can help them physically,’ principal researcher, Dr Suzanne Broadbent, said. ‘There are some great balance and coordination games such as Table Tilt, Tightrope Walk, Penguin Slide and Ski Slalom, which improve weight transfer, lower leg strength, balance and hand-eye coordination, plus they are a lot of fun.

‘For many older Australians exercise becomes a chore at a time of life when it so beneficial. ‘It is estimated that more than 250,000 older people fall each year, some multiple times. Besides the very real human cost of a fall on someone elderly, there is also a considerable cost to the health service.’ The researchers are looking for volunteers aged 60 years and over to participate in the study. ‘We are seeking volunteers who don’t do a lot of exercise already, especially falls prevention strength training,’ Dr Broadbent said. ‘Volunteers will need to commit to exercise sessions with the Wii three days per week and the exercise sessions will be 30 to 40 minutes in duration. For further information please contact Dr Suzanne Broadbent on 6620 3394.

Devils snatch draw after bell in local derby Lachlan and the Sirens

The Giants’ powerhouse young centre, Eden Symes, is about to have his head used as a plough at Les Donnelly Field on Sunday. Story & photo John Campbell

The Mullumbimby Giants, having come from 14–nil down at half-time, were desperately defending a 24–22 lead as the timekeeper put his hand to the siren. With nothing on the clock and a gallant victory all but secured, the referee found

one more penalty to blow for the visitors, only a metre from Mullum’s line. Could the Giants resist the Red Devils’ final, desperate surge? So frenetic was that last minute that the option of kicking for goal had been forgotten – except by Byron’s skipper, Ryan O’Connell, and Jared De

Devils’ half-back Sam Barnes dived over from dummy-half. At this point, the ref was blowing the pea out of his whistle and both sides were guilty of shoddy ball control. Byron, as always, were showing more finesse, but Mullum’s grit was not to be discounted. Scott ‘Scoot’ Hogan had come on for the Giants, after playing for the Reggies, and his presence noticeably lifted the home side. The years may have left Hogan with a head like a beaten favourite, but his footballer’s brain is as sharp as ever and his influence on proceedings would prove to be crucial. Right on half-time, the Devils scored a spectacular try. From fifty out, De Thierry threw a beautifully weighted pass to put O’Connell into space. He drew the full-back, gave it to Cahill who then kicked into the Giants’ in-goal. The ball bounced horribly for everybody, but Byron’s Joseph Gordon got to it first and planted it under the crossbar. After the break, Hogan put his stamp on proceedings when he dummied twenty out and was presented with a saloon passage to the line by daydreaming defenders. With seventeen to go, following tries to Mullum’s Reece Carruth and the Bay’s Rex Sheavils, the Giants were left a man down after the dismissal of Lee Funnell. The moment of ugliness that led to his sendoff galvanised the Giants. The other Carruth, Brock, got a try and then that man Hogan chased and regathered his own chip – which he had shrewdly aimed at the upright – and, unbelievably, the Giants were ahead 24–18. Noel King grabbed an unconverted four-pointer that brought the Bay to within two – that they salvaged a point came down to luck, which they should not become accustomed to relying on.

Thierry. With the mob giving him heaps as they bashed the advertising hoardings, De Thierry calmly slotted the ball between the sticks. A draw in rugby league is never a satisfying result for either side. But you would have to suspect that Mullumbimby will be more pleased with it – not least of all because it has provided them, after three rounds, with their first point of the NRRRL season – than will Byron Bay. As derbies go, it was a forgettable meeting until the pulsating twelve minutes at the death. Games can be like that. A winner appears evident to everybody until, without your noticing, the conflict is suddenly roaring and the battle intense. And, it must be said, when the whips were cracking it was the boys in Blue and Gold, with their raucous partisans urging them on, who looked most likely. It was a perfect autumn afternoon when Duane Cahill, on the back of a 40/20 from De Thierry, crossed in the corner Q To see all the local league for Byron. Not long after, the results, go to the Echonetdaily

Shiners take on Cossacks

The Moonshiners coming off the bye headed to Iluka for their third consecutive away game. A revived Cossacks side had thumped Grafton the previous week. The first ten minutes saw an arm wrestle in the middle third of the ground. Then Simon Hutton, in sparkling form, cracked the deadlock with a withering thirty metre run; Seymour Walters provided the support; Dion Vogt with a pick and run took on three defenders and off loaded back to Hutton to bag a sports page and press the NR- five pointer. The boot of dead RRL Team Lists and Results tag eye dick Nathan Nicholls took on the main sports page. it to seven points.

The Cossacks counter punched through smoking hot speed in the backs and found the line. It proved to be the pattern of the game. Forwards grinding away but failing to break the line while both sets of backs set it alight whenever the ball swung wide. Jacob Johnston on his Moonshine debut playing his first ever game of Rugby was looking like a seasoned campaigner, assured under the high ball, instinctive on the run and fearlessly felling the Iluka tall timber. Shortly before half time Iluka put a high ball up. It was a googly, flipper and doosra all in one evading five Shiners’ defenders who watched as Iluka pounced to a 10–7 lead. Mullum created opportunities but couldn’t convert when it counted. By the time Iluka had stretched the lead to 13 points the Shiners were looking rushed and lacking cohesion. Despite great games form Jarrod Hicks, an inspired Dion Vogt and a pumped up Mitch ‘Bulldozer’ Arthur the lads endured the first loss of 2013. Competition for positions will be fierce at training this week with a number of players returning. The Shiners are at home on Stan Thomson Fields Brunswick Heads this Saturday against Evans Heads. It is a 2pm kick off with a big crowd expected. www.echo.net.au

Comprehensively covering the NSW Far North Coast

New home lending ‘grinding higher’: HIA Lending for new homes continued to make modest improvements in February 2013, according to ABS Housing Finance figures. ‘Housing finance outcomes presented a mixed bag of results in the month of February 2013, but overall the changes have been in the right direction,’ said HIA’s chief economist Dr Harley Dale. ‘We are almost back to the lending levels of October last year, which were then lost when a tentative recovery failed to be sustained. We’re still not firmly on the path back to the healthy levels of new home lending which would be consistent with the strong residential construction recovery the economy and population requires. ‘In terms of owner occupiers, the aggregate number of loans for the construction and purchase of new homes increased by 1.2 per cent in the month of February 2013, while loans for established homes net of refinancing were up by two per cent. ‘Looking at lending to investors, finance for established dwellings has been rising fairly consistently – the value of loans increased by 3.3 per cent over the three months to February 2013, for example. However, investor lending into new dwellings fell by 3.2 per cent in the February 2013 quarter, although the overall profile appears to have followed a path of improvement since mid-2012.’ In February 2013 the total number of seasonally adjusted loans to owner occupiers for the construction and purchase of new homes increased by 21.8 per cent in the Australian Captial Territory, 14.9 per cent in Queensland and 7.0 per cent in New South Wales and the Northern Territory. The number of loans fell by 1.2 per cent in Victoria, 1.7 per cent in South Australia, 11.0 per cent in Western Australia, and 13.3 per cent in Tasmania.

ECHO PROPERTY BUSINESS DIRECTORY

Buying at an auction If you are thinking about buying a residential or rural property at an auction, you need to be well informed about your rights and responsibilities. Under law, agents are required to give all potential bidders a copy of a publication called the Bidder’s Guide prior to the auction. It is strongly recommended you take the time to read it. The Bidder’s Guide contains important information you need to know, such as how you register to bid and what kind of identification you must provide before you can bid. Because buying at an auction can be a nerve-racking experience. In addition to reading the Bidder’s Guide, it is a good idea to attend an auction or two as a spectator to familiarise yourself with the auction process. You can also take the time to find out what prices properties in the area have sold for, so you have a guide to the market value of the home you want. Before auctioning a property, the seller will nominate a reserve price which is usually not told to the interested buyers. The reserve price is the lowest price that the seller is willing to accept. If the highest bid is below this price, the property will be ‘passed in’. The seller will then either try and negotiate a price with interested bidders or put the property back on the market. If the bidding continues beyond the reserve price, the property is sold at the fall of the hammer. If you are the successful buyer, you must then sign the sale contract and pay the

www.echo.net.au

deposit on the spot (usually ten per cent). Unlike when you buy a house that is for sale, there is no cooling-off period when you buy at auction, or exchange contracts on the same day as the auction after it is passed in. So it is important to:

Magic position, Pacific Vista location

m

This elevated three bedroom two bathroom duplex is an interesting and well thought out design, utilising the decks off the dining area and different living spaces. There is plenty of space in the double garage and the outlook from the home is leafy and private from the street. The three magic features about the position of this property are the cul de sac location, the short walk to Tallow Beach and the close proximity of Byron township. Tallow Beach is an easy stroll through the Arakwal National Park and the Byron CBD is about a kilometre and a half away.. Address: 2A Osprey Court, Byron Bay.

Backlash Sennacherib, king of Assyria, erected signs in the main street of Nineveh that read: ‘Royal Road. Let No Man Lessen It.’ Perhaps Sennacherib’s impatience with carelessly parked chariots has inspired the police and rangers who have recently been blitzing Mullum streets. Locals have complained of their capricious behaviour, but modern handling of parking infringements is chickenshit compared with that of the Assyrian fuzz. The penalty for lessening the king’s road in Ninevah was being impaled on a stake outside your house. And that’s just the first offence.
