Rally opposes Mallams development plans Story & photo Lou Beaumont Residents opposed to the Mallams development on the railway site rallied on Saturday morning. Speakers were Byron Shire Councillor Tom Tabart and MC for the meeting; John Bailey, Greens candidate for the seat of Ballina; and June Grant, Stuart Street resident and convener of the rally. Tom Tabart opened the meeting with an explanation of how such a development got through despite been thrown out by local council. ‘Myself, and my fellow councillors, are now totally disempowered by our own state government,’ he said. ‘The instatement of policy SEPP71 (State Environmental Planning Policy) in 2003 allows the state government to be the planning authority for any development within 1km of coastline or estuary. While SEPP71 was brought in with a view to protecting the coastline, Amendment 3A to the Environmental

Planning Act almost makes SEPP71 a redundant policy. 3A allows Frank Sartor to cherry pick developments that he deems to be of state signiďŹ cance. ‘The Mallams development has been approved by State under SEPP8, which allows the Government to be the developer authority on their land – meaning they are the vendor and developer of that land leaving the local council powerless. ‘As development authority, the state government does not have to follow our vital local environment plan developed from years of local area knowledge.’ Mr Bailey said he was upset at how this development decision appears to have split the community, and that well-meaning locals were ‘cajoled’ into signing Mallams petitions asking for support of their development... ‘the results of which appear to have influenced

the state government when making their decision.’ Those at the rally raised various logistical, environmental and general community concerns. Several people expressed concerns regarding the inevitable changes to, overuse of and congestion in Mullum’s narrow streets, those closer to the supermarket in particular, such as Station, Tincogan, Stuart and Train. The proposed changes to Station St to accommodate customer trafďŹ c shocked residents In a similar vein, many believed the new supermarket will increase danger to children and pets playing in the streets, and decrease pedestrian and cyclist safety in general. Names and contact details of rally attendees were taken on the day. If you were unable to attend but would like to offer your support, call the convenor on 6684 2108.

Jess Poulsen says ‘NO’ with other locals at the rally against the Mallams railway site development.

Dunecare groups score $50,000 Local Duncare groups are celebrating the recent success of their application for funding from the Australian government’s Natural Heritage Trust Envirofund program. Seven Byron Shire groups will share in $50,000 for the purpose of restoring littoral rainforest. The areas to beneďŹ t from the funding include South Golden Beach, New Brighton, Belongil Estuary shorebird area, Clarkes Beach, Brunswick Heads, Simpsons Creek and Tallow Beach. ‘This is a fantastic outcome for the dunes in our area. We have some small remnants of littoral rainforest (rainforest by the sea) which is an endangered ecological community, and these funds will contribute towards

restoring and protecting these areas. As well as native tree planting and weed control the funds will cover fencing, signage, community education and training days,’ said Landcare community support officer Georgia Beyer. ‘All of the works that will be done under this grant will be matched by in-kind contributions including volunteer labour. This means that over $100,000 of works can be carried out over the next 18 months. ‘Our Byron beaches are famous around the world and are one of our greatest assets. It’s wonderful that volunteer groups are getting together to protect our coastal areas and restore fragile coastal ecosystems,’ Ms Beyer said. Michael Maloney, a volun-

teer with the Brunswick Dunecare group says the funds will assist in conserving threatened flora and fauna such as the Stinking Cryptocarya and the Little Tern. ‘Our volunteers are very excited about the possibilities of the project,’ he said. Some of the local dunecare groups have been active for over ten years, making them some of the longest running Landcare groups in Australia. Some of their past achievements include building beach access walkways and observation decks, fencing-off vulnerable fore-dune areas and planting trees. To ďŹ nd out more about your nearest Dunecare group contact Georgia Beyer on 6626 7028 (Tuesday and Wednesday) or Michael Maloney on 6685 0192. ,/#!,,9 /7.%$ ,/#!,,9 /0%2!4%$ "92/. "!9

Story & photo Lou Beaumont Twenty-four hours a day, for 16 months, Ocean Shores residents and neighbours, Rod Tyson and Mark Bateson and their families, have been barely tolerating a barrage of noise, dust and loss of aesthetic on their properties from the construction of the Brunswick to Yelgun section of the PaciďŹ c Highway upgrade in front of their houses. Neither Rod nor Mark resist the upgrade itself; they are asking that they are included in the line of properties that are somewhat protected by a sound wall. Neither resident is asking for any compensation. Both homeowners say their ongoing ordeal includes countless sleepless nights for them and their families due to constant noise and vibration through the house, damage to their properties from the ongoing vibration, and constant stress from the anger and frustration of being all but ignored by those responsible for the disruptions. Rod Tyson said, ‘It took 14 long months of pleading by us, and lobbying by Don Page on our behalf, to even get a meeting with the RTA and ABI Group. We ďŹ nally got them up onto my verandah, to hear and see the problem for themselves, and what was agreed as a fair solution at that meeting did not come to fruition at all.

‘We asked to have the old sound wall that was being pulled down at the caravan park. An RTA ofďŹ cer said, “You can have it if ABI Group will erect it for youâ€?. We have witnesses that heard him say that to us, yet when we ďŹ nally got the minutes of the meeting, two months later, we saw that what had been agreed to that day had been edited out by the RTA. We think he knew full well when he pledged the wall that he was the one who would have authorise such an installation. In other words, an empty promise in our presence as he had no intention of following through.’ Mark’s house was built in

2002. The house that Rod now owns was built ten years ago. Rod was renting the house when the roadworks began and bought the house in 2002. Mark said, ‘The RTA outlined conditions whereby houses along the affected area are entitled to noise reduction – any house built during or after 2002 appears to be exempt from noise mitigation. Even if according to these conditions one of us doesn’t qualify for consideration in this matter, you would expect consideration of the

human kind. What kind of organisation treats the public in this way?’ Rod agreed, ‘The government appears to forget its primary responsibility is to look after people. Instead, we have an example of organisations blatantly fobbing us off. They are making our lives impossible and are refusing to have anything to do with us.’ Ballina MP Don Page, who, according to Rod and Mark, has been an invaluable help to them both and a ‘real hands-on bloke’, has been trying to assist in their ďŹ ght for a fair conclusion for some time now. Mr Page told The Echo, ‘The bones of the situation is that noise mitigation has been put up in front of the houses along the Rajah Road that are owned by the RTA. The sound wall stops dead at the end of their last property, only leaving out Mr Bateson and Mr Tyson’s properties at the end of the line. There certainly appears to be a double standard in this incident. The RTA seems to refute some of the residents’ claims, but then again, the residents are refuting claims made by the RTA. To date, no resolution has been found. I am hoping that we can ďŹ nd one before long.’

Call to remember on World AIDs Day Northern Rivers residents are being asked to remember just three things on the ďŹ rst day of December this year. ‘We want the people of the Northern Rivers region to remember the millions of people around the world who live with or have died from HIV/AIDS,’ says ACON (AIDS Council of NSW) Northern Rivers branch manager Tania Lienert. ‘We want them to remember that using condoms prevents HIV/AIDS. And we want them to remember that buying a red ribbon will help us ďŹ ght HIV/AIDS.’ December 1 is World AIDS Day and the culmination of

AIDS Awareness Week (November 26 to December 1). The ofďŹ cial theme this year is – let’s talk about it: many faces, different stories. ‘At ACON, we really do see the many different faces of HIV/AIDS – gay and straight, men and women, young and old,’ says Dr Lienert. ‘In this 25th year of the epidemic, it’s important that people understand that while we’ve made signiďŹ cant progress against HIV/AIDS, it remains a major health issue in the Northern Rivers with about 500 people in the region living with the condition and approximately 20 new infections

being diagnosed every year. ‘However, the faces of HIV/AIDS are not just the people who have died from or are living with the virus. The faces we remember include their mothers and fathers, their brothers and sisters, their partners and their children, their friends and their carers. ‘This is because World AIDS Day is as much a day of remembrance for these often unsung heroes of the epidemic as it is for the people who have contracted the illness. And ďŹ nally, there are also the faces of ignorance, apathy, fear and discrimination. These are the faces that

we also need to remember on World AIDS Day because educating people about the virus and eliminating prejudice are as much a part of the battle against HIV/AIDS as the virus itself.’

Health checks Community Health staff will be offering free checks and health assessments to anyone at the Ocean Shores Shopping Village on Tuesday December 5 from 10am to12 noon. The checks will include cholesterol and blood pressure, diabetes risk factors, balance assessment, and drinking habits.

The Byron Shire Early Intervention Service sends a huge thankyou to the public for the tremendous response to its roadside appeal on November 5, which netted $3,280. ‘We still have a long way to go to the $22,000 needed to survive next year but this is a great start to our fundraising effort,’ says the service. ‘Thanks also to the wonderful dedicated volunteers who generously gave their time to stand by the roadside and collect the donation.’ Pictured above are volunteer collectors Nurse Sara Hyland, doof fairy Amii Gardener and little blue angel Leonie Burton.

Haiku Van Keuk is dressed for success tionally creative, talented and focused young lady. She is a perfectionist who sets high standards for herself and has an extremely mature and worldly outlook while maintaining her gentle nature.’ While the school has an excellent record producing students who are nominated for Art Express, this is the ďŹ rst time a student has been nominated for Texstyles, and according to Haiku, the secret to success is not really a secret at all. ‘To achieve results like these takes a lot of hard

work,’ said Haiku. ‘I would urge any student starting out on their HSC to put everything into it so they can do the best they can.’ Haiku has applied for a design course at Griffith University which covers a number of different design disciplines. At this stage, while she knows she’d like to pursue a career in design, she hasn’t decided what area of design interests her most. However, with her level of talent and discipline, it seems certain that she will succeed in whatever she chooses.

A community meeting hosted by the North Coast Area Health Advisory Council will be held at the Council Chambers, Mullumbimby, at 10am on Wednesday November 29. Morning tea will be provided on arrival at 9.30 am. It will be the ďŹ rst time the Council has met in Mullumbimby and in addition to the community meeting the AHAC members will undertake a tour of Mullumbimby Hospital and Community Health Services.

Alex McAuley In what may well be a ďŹ rst ever in NSW, Mullumbimby High School student Haiku Van Keuk has won the double: she has her major works from both her Art and Textiles HSC selected for exhibition at Art Express and Texstyles. Both Art Express and Texstyles are vehicles for the promotion of the outstanding HSC major works in NSW in any particular year, with Texstyles being particularly prestigious selecting only the top 30 works in the state. Haiku was delighted to receive the news that her work had been nominated for Art Express some weeks ago, and when she heard that she had also been nominated for Texstyles just last Friday she couln’t quite believe it. ‘It’s completely crazy,’ said Haiku. ‘When my works ďŹ rst came back from marking without any notiďŹ cation that I had been nominated for either exhibition I was a little disappointed as so many people had assured me that my coat had a really good chance. ‘So to learn that I’ve been nominated for not one but both, I’m really excited.’ Haiku’s success is not to be taken lightly: she estimates that she put up to one

Local News

100 years of Byron Shire To celebrate the important milestone of 100 years service, Byron Shire Council will be holding a meeting on December 4 to commemorate the ďŹ rst meeting of Byron Shire Council. At this meeting Council will be presenting books by SJ Denning, detailing the history of Byron Bay from 18501966, to local primary and high schools. Stan Robinson Park, adjacent to the Council Chambers, will be ofďŹ cially named following the meeting. If you are a past Councillor from either the Byron or Mullumbimby and would like to be involved contact Lisa Brennan 6626 7122.

Keen to move on, Rochelle, Susannah, Robyn and Christine couldn’t get out of the gallery fast enough.

converted garage. Robyn recalls, ‘We decided very early on that the community needed not only an accessible exhibition space but also a learning and resource centre. We wanted the focus to be less commercial and wished to foster

awareness and an appreciation for the diversity of contemporary art practised within our region.’ C.a.s.e indeed achieved this objective, having curated and installed 61 exhibitions and hosted numerous workshops, classes and talks over

the past five years. Piece exhibitors included local, interstate and international artists, new graduates, tertiary teachers, primary and high school students, and people young and old who have never exhibited as well as people with various disabilities. Piece has thus supported professional and emerging artists alike, as well as many members of the local community. Robyn adds, ‘Over the years within our little group, we have laughed, cried, got a little cross with one another, personal relationships have broken up, new relationships have begun, cancer has been fought, degrees have been achieved, children have left home. ‘It’s been five fantastic years, an amazing experience and we are looking forward to the future and a new direction as a group. ‘We would like to thank Sue Davidson, Liz Deckers, Arts Northern Rivers, our wonderful volunteers, those businesses who have given their support and last but not least those artists and viewers, without whom the gallery would not have existed. Thank you, and keep a look out for new cases!’

While this is the end of an era for the gallery, and it is uncertain who will take it over, this is not the end for c.a.s.e., with intentions to refocus as a group and shift their emphasis. C.a.s.e will be concentrating more on studio practice and workshops and will maintain an active role in supporting and nurturing the arts within the community. The four remaining founding members of c.a.s.e; Susanna Pohlen, Rochelle SummerďŹ eld, Robyn Sweaney and Christine Willcocks, are ready to move on to other things. Robyn said, ‘We need a rest from the constant and voluntary workload of changing exhibitions and running and maintaining a gallery space.’ The Piece Gallery opened its doors in 2001, the concept evolving around various kitchen tables. By 2002, the c.a.s.e group was ofďŹ cially incorporated and they took the gallery over, opening a small studio space in the

Howard aims to nuke Labor November 28, 2006

AIDS is still with us Now that the initial impact of the graphic AIDS ad campaign – Death bowling over helpless humans – is over, it does not mean the Human ImmunodeďŹ ciency Virus (HIV) has gone away. In fact, about 500 people on the north coast live with HIV/AIDS and 20 new infections are being diagnosed each year. It is very timely to discuss the dangers of transmission and to seek to end discrimination against those affected. Anything to do with Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) is especially relevant to young partygoers in Byron Shire who can endanger their health in a moment of carelessness. The main message is pretty simple: do not have unprotected sex. This year AIDS Awareness Week began on Saturday and runs until World AIDS Day (www.worldaidsday.org.au) on Friday. The theme for 2006 is ‘HIV/ AIDS – Let’s talk about it: many faces, different stories’. During the week, Red Ribbons are sold as the international symbol of HIV and AIDS awareness. All monies raised through the sale of Red Ribbons go towards support services for people living with HIV/ AIDS including medical services, counselling services, support and peer education groups. HIV is the virus that can cause AIDS. Without treatment, HIV damages the body’s immune system and renders the body vulnerable to other diseases and infections. Acquired Immune DeďŹ ciency Syndrome (AIDS) is not a single disease. It is a spectrum of conditions that occur when a person’s immune system is seriously damaged from HIV infection. Without treatment, AIDS typically occurs 5-12 years after exposure to HIV. The ability of HIV to live outside the body is very limited and therefore, HIV is not particularly easy to transmit. It is a communicable disease, but it is not contagious like air-borne viruses, such as inuenza. HIV cannot be transmitted by hugging, shaking hands, coughing or sneezing. Nor can it be transmitted by sharing glasses, cups or utensils. The three main modes of HIV transmission are: from unprotected sexual intercourse; from sharing drug injecting equipment; or from mother to child during pregnancy, birth or breast feeding. If you think you may have been exposed to HIV, you can visit a GP or your local sexual health clinic, where you can request a blood test and pre-test counselling, or call ACON Northern Rivers on 1800 633 637. The evolution of treatment for HIV has changed the prognosis of people living with HIV/AIDS. This has enabled many to continue working or return to work and enjoy an improved quality of life and a sense of optimism. However, stigma and discrimination continue to contribute to the invisibility of HIV/ AIDS in Australia. It is to be hoped the ‘Let’s talk about it’ campaign will help to lessen discrimination and increase levels of education.

ishing group of at-earthers who insisted (against all the evidence) that the whole issue was a beat-up by sinister greenie forces aimed at destroying capitalism – or something, the motive was never entirely clear. The facts did not change, but the politics did: the Stern report from Great Britain and Al Gore’s ďŹ lm from the United States put global warming on the front pages and Howard had to react. Fortunately he had his nukeboosters already primed to report, and they gave him

disbelief on the part of the electorate, but Howard has achieved many such in the past and must feel conďŹ dent about getting away with it again. Of course, it’s a short term political solution to a much more complicated long term global crisis, but that’s all that is required. At present it is sufďŹ cient for Howard to reassure the voters that he is on the case: indeed, he is leading while Labor is lagging. Eventually he (well, actually someone else) will have to deal with the awkward

Suddenly the argument was not about climate change, but about going nuclear. With the Labor Party fractious and divided over the issue, Kim Beazley opted for simplicity: Labor rejected the nuclear option as too dangerous and too expensive, no ifs and no buts, end of story. But of course it wasn’t; this was precisely the response Howard had counted on. Improbably he was the forward-thinker, the one seeking solutions, open-minded about all the possible alternatives. Beazley was the hidebound fanatic, stuck with the shibboleths of the 1970s, unwilling to admit that times had changed and that new problems needed new solutions. It was a tactic demanding a certain suspension of

or once John Howard has got both the physics and the rhetoric right: when it comes to energy production, nuclear power is no silver bullet. Indeed, when it comes to the economics of energy, nuclear power is more like a lumbering white elephant – not much use for the foreseeable future and too expensive to contemplate anyway. Howard’s hand-picked panel of nuke-boosters admits as much: even if we started tomorrow it would take about 15 years to get enough plants up and running to make a signiďŹ cant (though far from decisive) contribution to the country’s needs, and even then the cost could only become competitive with coal if the government was prepared to impose a whacking great carbon tax, which the government is emphatically not, at least in the present international climate. And this scenario presupposes that other alternatives (wind, solar, plant ethanol and natural gas) remain marginal, which is highly unlikely. Even before you start the serious arguments about disposal of nuclear waste and where you are going to put the generating plants, the nuclear option deďŹ es common sense. But Howard is not talking about common sense; he is talking about politics. And this is where the nuclear fallout turns into a warm, rich compost of opportunity. For some time now Howard has been looking increasingly out of touch with the whole climate change debate. As the scientists closed ranks and the activists became more vocal, Howard stubbornly refused to join the discussion, preferring to side with the dimin-

questions about just which of the voters are going to have nukes for neighbours, but that’s a long way down the track. In the meantime he can rely on that great Australian lie: he is only going to put it in a little way and if it hurts he’ll take it out again. Sure, just like he did when selling off Telstra. Time to start digging the shelters.

T

he Victorian election result provides a modicum of comfort for just about everyone on the federal scene. John Howard can note yet again the priceless advantage of incumbency; the man with the keys to the treasury and the information bank of the public service is always going to be hard to toss. Kim Beazley will applaud the triumph of yet another state government, and can claim

that this election was at least peripherally about federal issues – Labor certainly talked a lot about the horrors of Howard’s Work Choices regime, although how many Victorians actually changed their votes as a result remains unknown. Even the Greens have ďŹ nally broken through into the Victorian state parliament, albeit more as a consequence of changes to the voting system than of a sudden surge in support. But even in terms of morale, the reinstallation of Steve Bracks for another four years is not going to make a lot of difference to the main game in Canberra. Short of a major breakthrough over the Cole report into the wheat for weapons scandal (unlikely, given that the government not only wrote the rule book but has had plenty of advance warning to prepare its defence) the parliamentary year will end as it began: Labor capable of inflicting the odd flesh wound, but still unable to do any lasting damage. And John Howard still glorying in his invulnerability: not only is he immovably selfrighteous about Iraq, he feels absolutely no need to reconsider his position on Vietnam. If this extraordinary statement is to be taken at face value, it can only mean that Howard is happy to engage in any military caper Washington proposes, even if he knows in advance that it will lead to humiliation and disaster. Like the Bourbons, he learns nothing and forgets nothing. Unlike the Bourbons, he survives without threat of execution and exile, and is never going to have a stimulating drink named after him.

PROSTITUTION/BROTHELS UNDRESSED This is difĂ€cult‌ have been reading and digesting the opinions on Byron Bay’s proposed Brothel. Seemed like the same old arguments for and against, nothing ever really changes. Like a bell tolling, Ă€nally get womankind’s eternal plea for where ARE all the MEN (fathers, husbands, sons and brothers) prepared to stand up AGAINST Brothels/Prostitution‌ well here’s one (though no father), and I wish to give you my experience/s, my dark truths, and if you can bear, my judgements on. You judge me as you see Ă€t. For reasons (not excuses) of loneliness and wanton despair, I spent some 2 years frequenting brothels. Early on, didn’t work that really well, erections and condoms have never been harmonious for me. Thought (correctly) that young attractive, not-sowashed-out ladies would more likely help me over this ‘mental block’ (and have sex). Saw the despair/shadow in these young girls’ eyes and souls. Peeled back pages that exposed my own darkness, looked closely at the ‘pathways’ that landed these girls here, and got clear cognition of the male archetypes in play, Power Bully, mine too. For every hour, day, and year of my childhood/schooling I lived in Boy’s Institutions as a ward of the state. Given sheer duration, thousands of individuals and a healthy social ranking, I can tell you I KNOW all men (boys, as they still mostly are). Our required tribal/social comprehensions do not cope with/permit too many archetypes, nonetheless, each of these have a raft of subgroups. Many of our worst kind of humans lurk in these subgroups, not seen clearly enough beyond the generalisations of the archetypal tag. One archetype is the Bully (rather common with rock apes). Regrettably, yours truly was one of them, in the subgroup ‘selfpreservation’. Another subgroup is the Lazy-Slob Bully (strangely always clammy). This is the bully that will always need at least one ‘slave’ to provide him with ALL that he wants. It IS THE black (even when blue) -eyed, dark-souled, Lazy-Slob Bully that trolls the streets and hangouts of the community to entrap their ‘trophy blondes’ in a world of drugs and prostitution. Easiest targets are the young, homeless, naĂŻve, already-abused, and mentally deĂ€cient. Commonly 14, 15, 16 years of age. Very susceptible to alcohol, drugs, and false Ă attery. Lazy-Slob Bully is well-versed and armed with such, taking young girls into a world of heavy substance abuse for the primary purpose of heavily sexing them. After lengthy period of satiating their primal darkness begin to ‘manouvre’ girl/s towards thinking they should ‘chip in’ to help cover ‘their’ now expensive ‘lifestyle’‌ nudge, nudge, wink, wink. If a girl’s not getting the drift, common practice is to organise ‘event‘, lots of alcohol, ‘purpose-designed’ drug combos, ‘extra fellas’ , and proceed to gang-bang once angel (planned and conducted gang-rape). Young girl deeply shamed, confused as to whether she was willing or notâ€Śâ€˜boyfriend’ was there afterall. From thence on gets a clear sense from ‘associates’ (and within) that there is a ‘knowing’ she’s ‘just another slut’... she may as well ‘get smart’ and make a buck out of it. ‘Boyfriend’ becomes Boss/Man/Manager. These ‘men’ work as individuals, in circles, and as packs. Such men ALWAYS bash ‘their girl/s’, ALWAYS and HEAVILY sexually abuse them. They are stout, woolly, sweaty, freakin’ ugly monsters. I am likely to get a visit or two from one or more of them (my price to pay perhaps). These people and issues are, or so close to, a clear form of child molestation, with drugging and SLAVERY tossed in. If this horror be but one young lady’s, it’s potent. When it’s mostly, if not all, the experience for many (some needy single mothers and students aside) young women under 20 falling into prostitution, how are their fathers, uncles and brothers so impotent? It’s a shame. I found myself ‘buying time’ with some of these once-were-angels when they were 18, 19 and 20 years of age. Good lord, to see their distraught eyes and blackened spirits at such an age, to now be fully aware of the prone ‘next gen’, and to realise that if they haven’t died of substance-abuse or suicide by the age of 25 they are likely to be partnered up with an ageing (semi-retired) LazySlob Bully. There will be mixed-sired children, whom in front of, Mum is regularly bashed and verbally reminded of ‘sordid past’. A sure-Ă€re mechanism for history repeating itself. Prostitution/Brothels always seem to be about the female being undressed.. Let’s have a go at undressing the male. OK blokes, let’s face it here, a little bit of not-so-secret men’s business maybe. I WILL have to generalise here as it Ă€ts, and serves to reveal basic (general) truths. Men DO see brothels as servicing young males ‘right-of-passage’ practices (ritual?). Men DO see prostitutes as rightful ‘paciĂ€cation’ for penis-not-satisĂ€ed situations such as missus pregnant, bitch holding out on me, too long away from regular partner to ‘cope’. Men DO prefer the ‘resistant’ nature of vaginal penetration that is more likely found with youth and/or not having given birth. Men should not have to look too deeply to unravel their ‘appreciation’ of the ‘brazilian’. Brothels understand these natures very well, stitch up with bust size menu, and will push the lowest age limits permissible to attract/satisfy. This ageless wound of deep disrespect between male and female has never really been faced up to. This ‘oldest profession’, with its known such horrid ‘career paths’ into, is furthermore the longest and worst case of ‘conveniently overlooked’ sexual discrimination in history‌. And slavery to boot! No real excuses, young or old, mobile or not, have a pull and get over it. There’s much to learn about yourself in the audio and visual of your private movie‌perhaps the male nature is in fact from another planet and/or we are just an over-rated rock ape. My heart and guts are empty, I shall leave it to the Byron community to digest, judge if you must. Another brick on the yolk of this social burden?‌ in a town that fends off the evil FAST FOOD?!‌ dreamers‌ it’s not so much where it is, but more, what it is. WAKE UP and STAND UP!

ence of the ABC. The unkindest cut of all has been the muzzling of the ABC through depriving it of adequate operational funds. Watch out for commercial advertising and privatisation next. The ABC remains the most trusted and respected public institution in the country. Let’s keep it that way. Those interested in doing so may like to join the Friends of the ABC and if so go to www.fabcnsw.org.au and take it from there. We need to keep lobbying for an independent and viable ABC.

Ocean Shores Q Jill Keogh’s letter says it all. The obviously political appointments to the ABC Board were an indication of what was to come but when the new managing director, Mark Scott, chose Gerard Henderson’s so-called Sydney Institute (privately funded, strongly supportive of Howard and Co) as the forum from which to launch his new Editorial Guidelines the irony was just too blatant. That the already emasculated ABC budget is to be further depleted by $280,000 a year to employ someone to ‘interpret’ these guidelines adds injury to insult. Friends of the ABC hope for a good turnout to hear Mark Willacy, former ABC Middle East correspondent, talk of his experiences at the Ocean Shores Country Club on Sunday December 10 at 4pm. This Mark should be really interesting so try to make it. Jenny Coman

Earlier turbines Your story on ReGenesis having the ďŹ rst wind turbine reminds us that ‘back to the future syndrome’ does exist. In the early 90s KD Solar Electrics of Mullumbimby installed a 400w Soma Wind turbine at the Cape Byron Steiner School at Ewingsdale. The wind turbine was decommissioned due to per-

Give men a break Oh, the horror of men. Imagine that, men ogling the pretty young women walking into the Beach Hotel, what deviants. Those poor innocent girls, what have they ever done to be so objectified? Except maybe spending an hour or so primping and prepping into the latest ‘asset enhancing’ clothing and plastering on the makeup designed to simulate the appearance of sexual arousal. And I’m sure Maggi Luke (Letters, November 14) is right that most men wouldn’t want their family members working in brothels. That’s probably why they trudge out by the hundreds of millions to work every day. Turning themselves into forty year old cripples laying bricks and carpets and cables in the ground so that Mrs Jones can enjoy that six bedroom, carbon belching, fully air conditioned monolith she just had to have – darling. I’m certain that the men who are hip deep in cow shit and toxic tanning solutions, producing that latest pair of

‘divine stilletos’, know nothing at all about working in dangerous, degrading and unrewarding jobs. You’re right Maggi, we truly are a long way from equality. Perhaps when prostate cancer (which kills more people than breast cancer) is given even a fraction of the funding that women’s health issues get we will have equality. Maybe when men no longer work more hours, die younger in poorer health and suicide at over ten times the rate of women we will have a balance. Perhaps when women are conscripted to go to war and kill and die to defend their country we will see fairness. Who knows, we might even see a day when men are granted equal access to their children, or a fair share of the family assets, or the assumption of innocence until proven guilty, or paternity leave to get to know their offspring, or safety in the workplace. But it’s an interesting argument you offer, where total responsibility is put on the

consumer for the product rather than the provider. It means that we can stop blaming Rio Tinto for the cyanide poisoning of the environment around their gold mines and start blaming the people who want that pretty gold jewellery. It means that we can stop blaming the oil, wood and manufacturing companies for raping and pillaging the third world and start blaming the soccer mums who buy the V6 four wheel drives, the glossy fashion magazines and update their white goods every two years. But I suppose that’s unlikely to happen because women control 80% of the western dollar spend and we wouldn’t want them to have to take any responsibility or blame for the state of the things – that’s what men are for. But what would I know, I’m just a man, and therefore (if the media is to be believed), by deďŹ nition a violent sexual predator, general idiot and all round monster.

ceived lack of performance. A sad end to Byron’s ďŹ rst wind turbine but was it the ďŹ rst. The late Harry Richards of Mullumbimby told me he ran street lighting at Sheltering Palms(New Brighton) in late 50s with a wind generator. I also remember Ron Blewitt’s wind turbine at Byron Bay. What I am trying to say is that the renewable energy industry has been operating for years on the assumption that its time is near. If people see renewable energy as an alternative to the nuclear industry then the time has come for people to put their money into this technology or demand that their elected governments do that for them. The solar and renewable industries have suffered at the hands of the Howard government. Many of the

best and brightest people have moved to other countries or left the industry. Overseas companies are now developing Australian taxpayer funded solar technologies which in turn will be exported back to us. What happened to the clever country? Are we just a quarry for the developed nations? The Byron Shire Council could show its green creden-

tials by clearing the overhanging tree branches from the solar street lights which surround the council chambers. Solar does not work in the dark. Time for a brighter future

Brothels act as magnets for unpleasant activities Q In response to Gary Scott’s letter (Echo, November 21) – the Byron Entertainment Centre is among other things a venue for all who wish to use it. Byron Entertainment Centre simply provides the venue to production companies that are willing to use it within the set guidelines. The advertisement made for the School Girl Fling Party shows a female who is 25 years old. In consultation with the promotion company, the Sick Bay is a ďŹ rst aid station (all large events should have one), Locker Rooms are a cloak service, Tuck Shop refers to the cafĂŠ, Recess Rooms are areas to sit and relax. It is an 18+ event. Dress Code is School Daze – as in School Days. It is a fancy dress party, Garry! All functions and events held at the Byron Entertainment Centre have appropriate levels of security and personnel that are qualiďŹ ed to work at such events. All events are high integrity and run in such a way that delivers quality entertainment to those who want it in the Byron Shire. Ambercam Productions has been holding its parties for the past four years in the Byron Shire and every party is called a ing. Space Fling, Pharaoh’s Fling, School Girl Fling. Garry Scott, this is the way promotion companies talk the talk. I appreciate your concerns bush regenerators and Brunswick Valley Landcare whose activities are directly beneďŹ ting a vulnerable local bird, the White-eared Monarch. Their work is in complete alignment with the Monarch’s recovery plan and the proof was in the pudding when Mark Evans, the bush regenerator conducting a recent lantana control workshop, picked up the Monarch’s calls at one of the sites and several people got to see this pretty little pied rarity (see photos at www.graemechapman.com.au/cgi-bin/ viewphotos.php?c=339). Most importantly the behaviour of one bird indicated that they may be breeding there and they also had an immature bird among them. Thus this is signiďŹ cant work in a signiďŹ cant location and the good news is that Mark has heard them at several other sites as well. One of his colleagues, Darren Bailey, also discovered only the eighth known population of the Hairy Quandong tree while working close by. The efďŹ ciency and effectiveness of these regenerators is quite amazing and the key seems to be the fact that they work with the natural ecological processes occurring

and understand your valued points, however your use of Bang Gang in such loose terms is disappointing and a feeble attempt to discredit what is really going on. May I point out it is not Gang Bang as may be insinuated, but rather Bang Gang DJs. I ask that you again please read the advertisement. Bang Gang DJs are an Australian DJ band that is one of the hottest acts currently going around. Should you have a problem with their title it may be worth taking it up with their management. Ambercam Productions continues to give part of its proceeds to local charities. If there is a better suggestion on charities that should qualify, please let us know and we will pass it on. Garry, if you would like to further discuss any issues that in your opinion are inappropriate for us to do in the interest of the broader community, you are welcome to contact me personally. Kent Farrugia

Byron Entertainment Centre Q I think we can be reasonably sure that any of the letter writers, Councillors or Shire staff in support of the brothel have not extensively lived or worked near one. By a strange coincidence, I have worked in and managed IT companies on the site. The initial funding for their work came through the Northern Rivers Catchment Management Authority and it is great to see their sponsorship making a real difference. However ongoing funding will be required. I also met Peter Westheimer at the workshop and encourage his exploration of ways to promote and support community action in respect to the Council’s Biodiversity Plan. All in all the great efforts and skills of local people are turning paper plans into important and very efďŹ cient action. Well done. Rex Fisher

The middle east Gareth Smith should not atter himself: his letters on the State of Israel do not anger me: but they never fail to amaze me. In his latest effort in the November 14 publication, he totally ignores my suggestion that he should at times be fair by showing the other side of the coin and writes instead with venom about ‘The Zionist dominated Israeli Government’ and the brave protesters who oppose it‌ We are at the end of 2006

over extended periods in two brothel districts. One district was in St Kilda, the other in Tampa, Florida. Both districts had legal and illegal operations. The simple facts were that the brothels and their car parks acted as magnets for several kinds of unpleasant activities, particularly in the evenings. Drug dealing and freelance sexual soliciting along with various levels of violence meant that employees did not feel safe to work after sunset. It affected many people and in particular women who felt they could not walk safely even to to their cars. And this was in fairly well lit and reasonably policed areas, unlike the proposed Byron brothel. Given the energy that Council has put into objecting to many other recent proposals, surely it could stand up strongly for the community here. It is disappointing that the brothel DA was so promptly approved, without assessing social impacts, especially as it is right in the centre of an area that attracts high numbers of children and youth.There is the Byron Entertainment Centre less than 40 metres away, and a pet shop next door, where it is common to see children buying their pets, or browsing the aisles. A brothel does not make a good neighbour for nearby churches with Sunday schools and kinderand he quotes the 550 Israeli Defence Force reservists who in 2002 refused to fight beyond the 1947 borders. First of all in a democratic society there will always be dissenters: there will always be accusations of infamy, corruption, nepotism. It is the price of democracy. Gareth Smith would do well to admit this and compare it to what might happen to dissidents in the countries surrounding Israel. Since 2002 two withdrawals have taken place: From Lebanon, resulting in rocket assaults by Hezbollah and Israel’s response just a couple of months ago. From Gaza, followed by ceaseless rocketeering of civilian locations and the resulting present incursions by the Israeli Defence Force. So much for a withdrawal to pre-1957 borders! It would be interesting to find out from the 2002 demonstrators whether they are of the same opinion today. Let us examine his demeaning reference to ‘the Zionist Government’. I do not know exactly what he means by that. It is an Israeli government democratically elected by Israelis. The term

gartens. The future of the thriving Byron Arts & Industry Estate, along with the nearby residential communities, shops and professional ofďŹ ces should not be seriously jeopardised by such developments. Surely those requiring brothel services can go to those already existing in Ballina or the Tweed – that is the sort of time that such patrons would drive in a big city as not every suburb has one. If a brothel is really needed in the Shire perhaps some far more isolated industrial area would be more suitable, such as Mullumbimby one, though I would not wish it on any community. Alternately perhaps some of the proponents could offer their street. Bernard Grinberg

Ewingsdale Q Letters supporting the brothel make it sound so wholesome. What bullshit. Sure, brothels have been around for a long time. Does history make it good? Records abound of brothels as businesses run by unsavoury and hard-nosed characters. Let’s not be naive about this. The brothel is a business to make a profit out of women prostitutes. Run by business man or woman or consortium solely for the purpose of making as much

money as possible. Who decides what the pay is? Who makes sure of the conditions and the pay? Neither you nor the community. There’s absolutley no reason to assume that a brothel will pay ‘decent’ wages – quite the opposite. Businesses can screw their workers in order to make enormous profits and there is no shortage of examples of businessmen and companies who have been exposed as being greedy, shady and indifferent to the vulnerability of their workers if there is greater proďŹ t to be made. Workers serve simply to make money for the business. JustiďŹ cation for high returns, high proďŹ ts is that the business is there to make money and as much proďŹ t as possible. And under our current industrial conditions with individual agreements and low minimum wage, this approach is well catered for. So called ‘regulated brothel with decent wages’ (quote from Gary Scott). Really? Who decides the brothel will

‘Zionist’ was forged through the centuries referring to Jews who dreamed of a return to Zion. It was politicised in the last quarter of the 19th century by Theodor Hertzl , the founder of political Zionism. Once the state

pay so-called ‘decent’ wages? And who is going to be regulating it? Councils and government are drowning in the difďŹ culty of regulating questionable white-collar matters even when they are gigantic matters – cleverly covered paper trails, offshore banks dealings, ‘conďŹ dential’ and shredded documentation, private equity companies, complex legal loopholes. Not to mention the plethora of poor memory in many a politician and high lying (sic) corporate players when some appalling white-collar matter ďŹ nally gets to court. Finally, how naive to say it supports women. How simplistic to imply working for a brothel is healthy work. Gary Scott wouldn’t want his daughters going to a dance for school kids – would he want his daughter to choose a career working in a brothel? I think not. Nor do I imagine he’d be proud of his daughter if she chose to run a brothel as her business. Margrette Young

of Israel was formed the term Zionism or Zionist ceased to have any meaning in Israel itself. In my many visits to Israel and encounters with Israelis I have never heard the word, unless some old timer reminisced on preState history. Finally, Gareth Smith has ignored my most important question: why is it that he is so ready to involve himself in harsh criticism and indignant protests against the State of Israel while he keeps silent about the terrible genocidal crimes taking place in Africa, eg Darfur ? Is it because the Sudan government is Islamic and thus has the right to destroy and dislocate its people? Or, as I suggested, is he dominated by a latent antisemitism ? Israel is after all known as the Jewish State! Or might it be that he agrees with those who want Israel destroyed ? George Franco

was some hope the answer would be in the Byron LEP. But that LEP has been sunk. The new one is several long summers away. So why doesn’t Council test the matter once and for all in the court? Council staff are still saying it is illegal and last year we heard the holiday letting industry say just the opposite. There was a long discussion on this issue at last Tuesday’s Council meeting. The proposal to test the matter in court was watered down to asking the staff to do a report on the feasibility of getting advice about the legal status of holiday letting in residential areas. This proposal was voted down by Councillors Tucker, Tardif, Mangleson, Woods, Westheimer and Kestle. Looks like we are not going to get the answer after all. Sandra Heilpern

At odds on the Mallams plan Q I loved Mallams. My monthly $15 voucher, earned by doing all my shopping locally, has seen my family through some lean weeks. Mallams employed my daughter. I would wander into Mullum at sunset, parrots screeching overhead to pick up produce for the prandial repast. No more! Mallams has used the corrupt processes of the Department of Planning to foist a mall on Mullumbimby. A mall that will destroy the biggest little town in Australia, turning it into just one more suburb in the South Brisbane conurbation. To those progress-loving, long term residents who want exactly that, who cannot fathom why the ood of refugees from metropolitan madness oppose a simple

supermarket, I say this. Be proud to live in the last mallfree municipality in Australia. After all, as petrol prices double and double again, we could make Mullumbimby a model of the new urbanism. A walkable town with a real heart. A community that overcame its addiction to the car in favour of the foot. Meet me at midday on Monday December 4 outside Mallams. I shall burn my frequent shopper card outside the front door of the store. They will no longer get my $200 every week. Make sure they do not get yours. Join me in this simple slapdown of a short-sighted submission to the slippery Sartor. Defend the magic of Mullumbimby, make your mark against the mall.

Q Over the last two years I have watched with interest the debate surrounding the new Mallams supermarket site.

and London for the last 20 years, I always amazed at how Mullumbimby has let itself become dragged down by people who oppose anything and everything. I appreciate that the residents of Mullum and Byron don’t want a high rise ghetto but surely they don’t want to live in a town that is completely trapped in a threadbare 60s time warp. I hope that one lesson learned from all of this may be, that if the town and the council don’t learn how to make constructive and informed decisions in a timely manner, then they risk having these decisions made for them on a more regular and permanent basis‌ something that I’m sure nobody wants.

tion, window placement, amount of shading, roof colour etc – the more it will cost you and me to run your air conditioner. What I was raising in my letter were the indirect costs. I have been advised the following. Many average sized units are 4 kW and for every kilowatt rating of the air conditioner, you add somewhere between $1, 000 and $2,000 to the infrastructure costs of the (local) Countr yEnergy network. This is a cost we all end up paying through our electricity costs. Secondly, and probably more importantly, an average sized air conditioner will most likely double your current greenhouse gas emissions. Now that’s not good news.

Women the target of trade ripoffs Lou Beaumont So you have a job to do around your house or property. It might be a small job like renovating a deck or a larger one such as restructuring a road or building a studio. As familiar as you are with the old adage ‘if you want a job done well, do it yourself’, you are also aware that if you begin a DIY job where specialists are required you will get yourself in all sorts of strife. So you look for a tradesperson to help you out. Overwhelmed with choice and knowing full well that time is money, you pick one. Do you really know who you are hiring? Their work ethics and skill base? Due to a number of reports of ripoff jobs in the area, one concerned tradesman suggests shopping around further before hiring. Jess Mott, of J&J Bobcat and Tipper Hire, says it appears to be mostly single women who are being taken advantage of. He says, ‘One lady paid $15,000 for a new road which couldn’t be called a road on completion. The contractor left his receipt book on site too. He had charged her $7,000 for road base which had cost him just $2,400. ‘Another lady hired a company to build a deck to the tune of $22,000. She paid for Double A Hardwood which was not used. The wood used was all short timber put together with too many nails, the plank ends were split and the joins dodgy. She now needs to have it all redone. Also, the good wood she had purchased was nowhere to be seen. ‘Another lady set aside $70,000 to build a studio. After forking out double her budget, she eventually had to

ask the builder to leave. I hear of a lot of jobs that were either badly done, not completed and left in a complete state, or simply not what the client wanted.’ There are ways to avoid this. The Department of Fair Trading (DFT) is a good place to start if you are unsure of your rights as a consumer. The Home Building section of the DFT website includes a publication, the Consumer Building Guide, outlining things you should know before embarking on any project. It is easy to understand and contains a straightforward checklist that you can use when hiring someone for the job. In fact, in accordance with the Home Building Act 1989, a contractor is actually required to present you with a copy of the guide before entering into a contract for residential building work. If they do not, you can download one yourself. Most significantly, the DFT advises you check you are a hiring a currently licensed contractor. A contract must be drawn up for any project over $1,000, and if you are unsure of its contents you are advised to seek legal advice. It is illegal, under any circumstances, for

a contractor to ask for payment upfront. The legal limit for deposits is 10% for work costing $20,000 or less or 5% for work costing more than $20,000. If it is a big job, progress payments will be set up in the contract. The DFT also suggests you make regular site inspections. If you can’t or don’t want to be present during building work, or don’t know the first thing about the trade, think about hiring a building consultant or project manager to keep an eye on things. Contracts and hiring managers may sound expensive, but you are buying peace of mind, and you may be saving time and money in the long run. While consumer rights need protecting, so to do the rights of the contractors. The DFT reminds us that no job is perfect. Things can go wrong, defects and delays are a normal part of many projects, and it is only when the tradesperson refuses to rectify the mistakes that things get awkward. In order to achieve the result you want, communication, written agreements and sketches are vital throughout the process. No two visions are ever the same. The Consumer Building Guide runs through what to do when things do go wrong. Their ďŹ rst piece of advice is to talk about it. According to the DFT, many of the complaints they receive have not yet been heard by the contractor concerned. Without communication between hirer and contractor, jobs will of course remain unfixed. The DFT recommends putting everything in writing, right from the start. If things go wrong, communication fails and the problem still exists, the DFT will mediate. The DFT also advises you check you are a hiring a currently licensed contractor. It is worth noting here, however, that a license does not guarantee a good job, just as the reverse applies. Some unlicensed tradespeople may be some of the best in their trade. In either instance, the work should speak for itself. However, if you are considering hiring an unlicensed contractor, there is little the DFT can do on your behalf if things go wrong. The DFT cannot encourage a return to complete/ďŹ x the job as they are unable to solicit work by unlicensed tradespeople. It is also worth reminding consumers that there is no price control on what contractors can charge. Essentially, a tradesperson can charge what they want for a service – it is up to the consumer to find value for money. The DFT recom-

Cholesterol could be your best friend Nicholas Smith For the last half century, cholesterol has been portrayed as the enemy of our arteries and the knight in shining armour is, well, provided by who else but pharmaceutical companies. But new thinking is that we might have misunderstood the role cholesterol plays in our health. Indeed, even medical researchers are scratching their heads trying to understand exactly what association, if any, it has with heart disease. More shocking still, cholesterol might actually play a protective role and contribute to longevity. Where high cholesterol was formerly believed (and still is by many health professionals) to promote atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease, studies have shown that people whose blood cholesterol is low can become just as atherosclerotic as people whose cholesterol is high. As long ago as 1994, Dr. Harlan Krumholz of the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine at Yale University found that the elderly with low cholesterol died twice as often from a heart attack as did old people with high cholesterol. While a further six major studies have found that mor-

tality was inversely associated with total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, or both. This means that it is actually better to have high than to have low cholesterol if you want to live to be very old.

Risk of dying

resistance, consumption of trans fatty acids, microorganisms and more. New thinking is that cholesterol, in particular Low Density Lipoproteins (LDL or ‘bad’ cholesterol), does not necessarily belong on that list because it may not cause heart disease so much as signal that the arteries are being threatened. When the cardiovascular system is under assault cholesterol levels rise accordingly; it is the messenger, not the cause, and the use of cholesterollowering drugs could be a classic case of shooting the messenger.

If you are still concerned about high cholesterol levels, 19 large studies from the Division of Epidemiology at the University of Minnesota of more than 68,000 deaths showed that low cholesterol predicted an increased risk of dying from gastrointestinal and respiratory diseases.

suppressing HMG-CoA, and subsequently CoQ10, the body reduces cholesterol but quite possibly increases heart risk. Co-Q10 is used by the heart and other muscles to facilitate contraction as blood is pumped through the body and protects the cells from foreign attack. If the body’s source of CoQ10 is lowered, either through statin drugs or environmental factors, the heart’s ability to contract is greatly diminished. This subsequently results in signiďŹ cant cardiac complications including angina, heart disease, cardiac arrhythmia and heart attack. Of the nine controlled trials on statin-induced CoQ10 depletion in humans, eight have shown signiďŹ cant Co-Q10 depletion leading to decline in left ventricular function and biochemical imbalance. The manufacturers of statin medications have recognised the fact that these drugs depress the immune system, an effect that can further increase cardiovascular risk via micro-organism infection.

Balance So what does all this mean? As in all things in life, the body craves balance; cholesterol is no different, not too high and not too low.Two hurdles make it difďŹ cult to achieve balanced cholesterol: one is the propensity for low fat or no-fat diets because fats that are essential for cellular health are omitted, and we need fats to make cholesterol. The second problem is the overuse of statin drugs. There are numerous other advantages to balanced cholesterol levels. LDLs bind and inactivate dangerous bacterial toxins (a known cause of heart disease), rendering them harmless. LDLs also have a beneďŹ cial inuence on the immune system, possibly explaining the observed relationship between low cholesterol and various chronic diseases. So what can we take from all this? Removing cholesterol or lowering it artiďŹ cially with drugs will do nothing to improve the real roots of heart disease, which are entangled in inammation, oxidation and infection. The biggest factor that underpins this, and needs to be addressed, is lifestyle, namely stress.

Predictable praise for nuclear power

Richard Staples The Nuclear Taskforce Report was, as predicted, an attempt to present a nuclearpowered future in the best possible light. The spin is palpable – for instance, the multiplier effect of job creation assumed (‘130,000 people, 1,200 in uranium-related jobs’). Projections only go out to 2030 but are remarkably lacking in information even beyond 2020, which is not too far away. The yellowcake production graphs simply run flat. The report breezily sidesteps the question of radioactive waste as being a problem in the future that the future will solve (and pay for, presumably, one way or the other). This is a lightweight report. It’s largely cut and pasted from the industry and its agencies. I’ve seen comparable documents produced for Byron Shire Council as feasibility studies etc for a fraction of the million dollars this little task took, although this included the round the world fact ďŹ nding mission for nuclear Starman Ziggy and his entourage. To its credit it doesn’t attempt to claim nuclear could offer a sustainable energy future. It mentions ‘50-100 years at current demand’ and ‘85 years’ at one point. Current demand (actually consumption) generates only a tiny percentage of world electricity. But what about if China and India decide to increase their current programs? The world will soon be down to ores that require so much energy to mine and mill, it is all a futile exercise. Where is the exit strategy? Table 2.1 goes some way towards the investigation of the economics of mining ores of various grades but fails to paint a credible picture of a

nuclear future. Rather than predict economics of mining various grades of ore, it consolidates data, presenting it as reserves at less than certain ceiling prices. It acknowledges that some uranium mines (eg Olympic Dam in SA) are only economic because they are mined in conjunction with a very large ore body of other metals. But it leaves us in the dark as to how we are are going to have enough energy to mine and mill the massive tonnages of low-grade ore that will be all that is left pretty soon. As the report emphasises, uranium is not that uncommon in the Earth’s crust – but most of it is at such low concentrations that it can be written off as an ore. It would be easier to get it from seawater. There are a lot of parallels between Peak oil and Peak Uranium. M K Hubbert predicted the timeline for decline in US oil production reasonably correctly in the 1950s. Nevertheless the centralised energy industries, the current federal government and its agencies have made some spectacular mistakes predicting the future price of oil in the last few years, and many are still in denial over Peak Oil. This report indicates similar denial. The future of nuclear power was sealed in the 70s when serious attempts to develop fast breeder reactors failed. All that spent fuel that it was hoped would be re-used is now nuclear waste. On a positive note, journalist James Woodford has installed a standalone photovoltaic system at his South Coast home for $14,000 that delivers 2.7 kilowatt-hours a day and he’s doing well, even with a conventional electric fridge. Power connection would have cost $15,000.

Articles Byron High performs for Bangalow pupils

Byron Bay High School music and dance students performed a concert for the pupils of Bangalow Primary School last Wednesday. The students performed originals, traditional Irish music and contemporary dances. ‘It’s a showcase of music and talent from Byron High,’ Byron High P&C president Rex Butler told The Echo. ‘We wanted to show what goes on at Byron High and what to expect when they start high school.’

Hope for park takeover talks with govt Byron Shire Council recently voted, on a motion from Mayor Jan Barham, seconded by Cr Diane Woods, to have the mayor and general manager Pamela Westing meet with the Minister for Lands ‘as soon as possible to discuss the dismissal of Council, as Reserve Trust Manager of the Ferry Reserve, Massey Greene, The Terrace and Clarkes Beach Holiday Parks, and Clarkes Beach Cafe, and the establishment of a MOU to address ongoing funding for the management of non-income generating crown reserves and surf lifesaving’. It will also request a final copy of the Department of Lands (DOL) Report on A Management Review of Crown Caravan Parks Administered by Byron Shire Holiday Parks Reserve Trust; and copies of complaints received by the Department of Local Government and the Minister for Local Government which formed some basis for the action taken by the government to dismiss Council Crs Ross Tucker and Bob Tardif voted against the motion.

War games to hammer Australian wildlife Michael McDonald Opposition is gearing up to the joint military exercise Operation Talisman Saber 2007 (TS07), to be played out in May and June 2007 in Queensland and the Northern Territory. The operation will see about 12,400 Australian defence personnel and 13,700 US personnel involved in various fictional scenarios, including ground, air and marine activities. Training will involve parachute drops, amphibious landings, artillery, armour and infantry manoeuvres, air combat training and maritime operations. Live fire exercises will involve the use of small calibre weapons and high explosives. The protest rallying point online is at www.peaceconvergence.com. Locally, filmmaker David Bradbury (www.frontlinefilms.com.au)

is rallying resistance in particular to exercises in heritage-listed Shoalwater Bay in Queensland. He is also planning a protest concert at Yeppoon, on Shoalwater Bay. The main areas of contention are the environmental impact of the exercises, moral repugnance to the US’s militaristic approach to world ‘problems’, the cost to government (and to the taxpayers) of the operation, the presence of nuclear-powered warships, and the possible use of weapons coated with depleted uranium. The 95 page Public Environment Report (PER) on the operation is online at w w w. m a u n s e l l . c o m / media/4319.pdf. Reading the report gives the impression that the Australian Department of Defence has a tight grip on environmental over- there seems to be no outside view of its own activities – ‘umpire’ other than reporting back post-operation to government bodies. Details on the Department of Defence Environmental Strategic Plan, Environmental Policy Upgrading the Pacific Highway and Corporate EMS are available on the Department Tintenbar to Ewingsdale of Defence website at www. Aboriginal Heritage Assessment defence.gov.au/environment.

The NSW Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) is undertaking investigations to upgrade the Pacific Highway between Tintenbar and Ewingsdale.

Risk levels

Aboriginal groups and/or Aboriginal people with cultural attachments to the area surrounding the Pacific Highway between Tintenbar and Ewingsdale are invited to register their interest in the project. Registrations must be received by phone or in writing by Friday 15 December 2006. All registrations received will be receipted. To register your interests please contact:

The closing date for registrations is: Friday 15 December 2006.

The PER outlines environmental risk levels and, though nothing is regarded in the ‘high’ range, the types of possible impacts give little comfort to objectors. Accorded a ‘medium’ risk level are damage to marine fauna from the use of sonar devices; disturbance to flora and fauna from vessels grounding in sensitive areas; damage to flora and fauna from fires during live firing exercises; release of contaminants from storage vessel ruptures; damage to public roads and bridges. The Environmental Management Group for the operation has to monitor a ‘no footprint’ policy, though how one leaves restored the fauna killed and flora destroyed by the exercises is hard to fathom.

(The soldiers themselves face a few ‘environmental risk levels’ as well. According to the PER, these include dehydration, heat cramps and exhaustion, sunburn, crocodiles, sharks, marine stingers, feral pigs, scorpions, spiders, venomous snakes, sandflies, mosquitoes and ticks. Who needs an army as a frontline of defence with risks such as these on tap?)

On the reef The PER recognises the environmental significance of some of the areas in which the exercises will be carried out. The Shoalwater Bay Training Area (SWBTA), for instance, covers 454,500 hectares and is registered on

the Commonwealth Heritage List. About 20% of Australian Defence Force (ADF) training areas are located within or next to the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. Does anyone see a conflict of purposes here? The PER notes: ‘The SWBTA has high environmental diversity and wellpreserved environment, representing the largest wilderness area on the central Queensland coast. The site comprises representative coastal and subcoastal aquatic landscapes and ecosystems, many of which are relatively undisturbed habitat areas for significant flora and fauna.’ The presence (or not) and impact of depleted uranium is perhaps the most debatable issue raised by objectors. According to the PER, depleted uranium munitions are not in the ADF inventory and will not be permitted for use by any visiting forces (including the US forces). In addition, no nuclear, chemical, biological or radiological weapons will be used during TS07.

DU effects The main issue with depleted uranium – apart from munitions actually hitting you – seems to be its effect on the kidneys, though the DU dispersed into the environment from munitions seems to be at a low level. See the World Health Organisation fact sheet online at www.who.int/mediacentre/

factsheets/fs257/en/ for one view. According to the Depleted UF6 Management Information Network (http:// web.ead.anl.gov/uranium/ index.cfm), a section within a US Department of Energy laboratory, ‘Depleted uranium is not a significant health hazard unless it is taken into the body. External exposure to radiation from depleted uranium is generally not a major concern because the alpha particles emitted by its isotopes travel only a few centimetres in air or can be stopped by a sheet of paper. ‘However, if allowed to enter the body, depleted uranium, like natural uranium, has the potential for both chemical and radiological toxicity with the two important target organs being the kidneys and the lungs. The most likely pathways by which uranium could enter the body are ingestion and inhalation.’ David Bradbury, who looked at DU in his doco Blowin’ In TheWind, contends that the substance could have a far more deleterious effect, citing ‘Iraqi babies… now being born with major birth defects’. Whatever the final evidence on DU, Operation Talisman Saber 2007 might be good for the military and some local employment where it takes place, but it offers nothing for the environment, government coffers, lessening carbon emissions or the cause of peace.

Activist pushes for hemp law reform Hemp activist Andrew Katelaris is up before Lismore court on Friday December 1 on a charge of possession of three grams of marijuana. Police arrested Dr Katelaris at the Nimbin Mardi Grass this year. While he will no doubt make strong submissions to the court this Friday, Dr Katelaris says he is mostly interested in getting out the message that hemp is a valuable crop, partly for its low water usage in an age of global warming. So strong is his conviction that he carried on cultivating a crop – ‘in order not to lose the genetics developed over the years’, he says – after his licence to do so was cancelled. His arrest in January 2005 and the destruction of his crop is set out in detail at www.cannabishemp.info/page4.html. Of his subsequent conviction on cultivation Dr Katelaris writes: ‘After spending twenty years researching a product and processes that could prove of immeasurable worth to this State, especially

in these times of crisis, I now find myself a convicted criminal. A large amount of public money has been expended on this prosecution. Without being melodramatic the destruction of that crop is the vegetable fibre equivalent of someone butchering the first successful merino ram. The work can be replicated, but much time has been lost.’ As to the value of hemp, Dr Katelaris says it is a very efficient weed smothering crop and can be grown without herbicides. There are also few problems with plant pests and pesticides are not required. ‘The water requirement of a hemp plantation is less than half of that required

for cotton growing, whilst the fibre yield is considerably greater.’ He also said that hemp is ‘a perfect carbon sequestration crop. Each hectare absorbs over 20 tons of carbon dioxide.’ Dr Katelaris would like to see the environmental value of hemp cultivation raised as an election issue. He would also appreciate people who support his work to attend the court ‘to make a statement supporting hemp and opposing the massive waste of public money spent on police/courts/gaols’. He is also an advocate of medicinal cannabis: ‘Cannabis can provide broad symptomatic relief – including relief of pain and nausea, control of muscle spasm and movement disorders and the restoration of appetite. Cannabis generally has a low side-effect profile and can replace or reduce the need for other pharmaceuticals needed to successfully manage symptoms.’ More can be read on his website.

Begging for better – everyday reality in Byron Bay Ajanta For many reasons, the powerful magnetism of Byron Bay continues to draw a diversity of people to the shire. The place the indigenous referred to as ‘Cavanbah’ or ‘meeting place’ nurtures a complexity of ideologies. Longer term residents have watched the development of a quaint little town which has now superseded its own expectations. Amid all the beauty and diversity that Byron embraces, the disparity between rich and poor is becoming ever more apparent. The impact can be observed through the absence of substantial industry – employment prospects are low and the welfare system inadequately assists the many who find themselves caught in a milieu of desires, hope and hopelessness. Community workers in Byron attempt to help a continual line of people hitting the wall financially and spiritually. The box of tissues sitting on the desk dwindles as clients spill out their inability to cope with the cost of surviving in an area where rents reflect inflated property values. Some face the harsh reality of eviction while others skimp on essential food and medications. While community services provide a bit of

a safety net for these folk by means of material aid, short term accommodation, referral and counselling, this never suffices to adequately address the destitution of the poorest of the poor, our Shire’s ever increasing homeless population. Byron can boast almost 100 permanent members of our community who live and sleep in our streets and in makeshift camps that surround the town. It is impossible to quantify the number

of transient people in this situation. Who are they? How did they get here? There are many reasons, be it circumstances beyond their control or, for others, a chosen way of dealing with hurt in a society where love is often abundant on the surface but hard to tap into on a personal level. The search for connection and belonging draws them here but circumstances keep them marginalised and vulnerable. Community

infrastructures are struggling to meet the needs of our street people. On a typical day, you can enter mid town Railway Park and see a communal circle of people sitting on bare earth. Approach the circle and ask where you can find the homeless people. You’ll hear, ‘We are the homeless people.’ They may be our youth (40 odd counted at the last Census), young adults, middle aged, elderly, indigenous, male or, female. They could

be a member of your family or, by sheer twist of fate, it could be you! On average around three homeless people die each year right here in Byron Bay, right here under our noses. Many an attendance at formal homeless forums has led to refreshed hope for the resolution of issues surrounding homelessness in this Shire. A small contingent of organisations in Byron Bay provides essential sustenance for our homeless people by offering five free community meals per week. A handful of dedicated people provide their time voluntarily to coordinate these gatherings. Overstretched community services attempt to bridge the gaps in provision but lack of funding and overworked staff make it impossible to reach a satisfactory resolution. Despite these small steps being made, major progress toward the establishment of permanent essential services catering for the less fortunate members of our community has not eventuated – until now. With the advent of Byron Bay’s inaugural Beggars Banquet a new and evolving sense of solidarity has arisen as individuals and community groups rally to the cause. The concept of a free ‘all

inclusive’ community feast which engenders acceptance, compassion and respect has engaged and inspired diverse members of our community. The aim is to raise public awareness to the plight of the less fortunate folk within our community with the end result being the establishment of facilities for improving their wellbeing. It is also envisaged that the unity and positive energy generated by this event will spill over to assist the establishment of an ongoing community resource. Come one, come all to the Beggars Banquet on Saturday December 2 in Railway Park, Byron Bay. Proceedings start at 10.30am, with a corroboree at 11am and a free community feast from 12noon until 2pm. Entertainment will continue all day until late evening. For further information, please look for flyers around town or ring me on 0431 905 741. We ask the whole community to open their hearts and give generously with donations of clean blankets, clothing, toiletries, raffle items or money. These people are without what so many of us take for granted. Volunteers are still welcome. Please think about what you might be able to do to help.

We’re now entering the Jupiter in Sagittarius Transit Of Expansion which extends horizons, multiplies possibilities, enlarges social circles and widens minds. Waistlines as well, if you surrender to this week’s seasonal seductions… ARIES: Aries are notorious for telling the truth brutally, which can have others hurrying out of the firing line. Sagittarian transits are notoriously tactless so before expressing something personal this week, imagine how you’d feel if something similar was said to you. TAURUS: It’s hard to observe what’s going on without comment. And for what – so you don’t make waves? Sometimes waves have to be made, but in a positive way. Choose words this week with care, like the fine craftsperson you are. GEMINI: My my, isn’t life lively in Geminiville? Mischief’s in the air and you’re feeling devil-may-care, but during this week’s lively conversations and debates, watch your tongue doesn’t get you in trouble – indiscretion could sabotage a new prospect.

CANCER: This week’s people are a paradoxical mix of pushiness and sensitivity, selfishness and generosity. Adorable one minute, you want to throttle them the next – quite Cancerian really. Right now you’re at your most provocative – offending some, enchanting others, entertaining the rest… LEO: Resistance to authority is rife this week, with people not wanting to be told what to do – even going off and doing it their way instead of yours. Très tiresome… They won’t respond to bossy so you’ll need to be clever and outsmart them. VIRGO: Virgos tend to be reliable, thorough and hard working. If others aren’t inclined to value these sterling qualities right now that’s their loss – this week circumstances are changing far too fast for you to bother losing sleep over it. Take things easy and cruisey. LIBRA: Being the One Who Gives Too Much will also make you the One Who Gets Most Exhausted this week. Aim for the happy balance between outgoing and incoming on all levels – emotional,

sample Muoi’s superb Asian food, choosing from a wide range of delicious dishes in tastingsize portions. Starting from $7.50 per dish, the selection includes such delights as salt & pepper quail, prawn cigars, BBQ salt & chilli squid, garlic chive dumplings and mussels with ginger and black bean. Vegetarians are well provided for and there is a good wine list with wines available by the glass. Need any more reasons to go? The lunches start as of December 13 – but remember to book! Phone 6685 7557.

THE FRECKLED LOUNGE Opening this Friday 1st December at The Freckled Lounge – energetic works by two fresh and feisty east coast artists. Simon DeGroot is one of Brisbane’s most watched for young artists with his exciting social, physical, financial and energetic. SCORPIO: The Zulu word ubuntu means being human, something which is defined by our interactions with others. No matter how aggravating or recalcitrant, treat everyone as a member of the human family this week – even if they don’t behave like one. Especially then. SAGITTARIUS: Sagittarians, like all fire signs, must do their own thing – but it’s one thing to blaze your own trail and another to be out on your own. If independence is costing you closeness with others, perhaps it’s getting too expensive…? CAPRICORN: This week’s people are likely to follow Einstein’s dictum that imagination is more important than knowledge. They’ll talk big, probably mean it at the time – but information definitely needs checking and it wouldn’t be wise to rely on follow through. AQUARIUS: Though they can tell you all the latest information on alternative treatments, Aquarians often neglect their health – but this isn’t the time to let problems

Sometimes when you’re on the right track, things just seem to go your way. For Engine Three Seven it’s all been a bit of a dream run, winning the Bluesfest Busking Comp in 2005, playing two Bluesfests and taking out ‘Song of the Year’ at the Dolphin Awards. Lead vocalist Casey Dean told Seven how the band came to be. ‘Originally I’m from Millicent in South Australia. I had come from a bad band break up. It was my birthday and I found myself lost in Bangalow. I walked into the Bangalow Pub a little bit drunk with a stupid hat and a cake and I met the guys and it just clicked. We started jamming at the Bangalow Jam nights, I have always been a hard core cynic, but it’s obviously one of those things that was just meant to happen.’ Dean admits to finding his musical match in the Engine Three Seven players. ‘I think we obviously have a love for heavier music. The four of us all love to push

each other with different instruments. We all play all the instruments. It’s great, rather than finding that as a threat to each other, we really push each other to a new level, it’s the brotherhood that makes the difference.’ With such a dynamic and inclusive musicality, that could make the songwriting process either a collaborative melting pot or all-in war. Engine Three Seven have really focused on how they create their music. ‘It is interesting, we have this EP coming out (self titled), we have gone through the whole process really looking at how we write songs. This is how we divvy up royalites – we realised that’s how bands break up, so we all write and I’ll write a song, someone will write a riff, it’s very collaborative, some will take turns... ‘It’s great and amazing energy, I’ve been in situations with bands before, and it’s created more of a threat scenario. We really really enjoy the whole

creation, and we fall back onto what is addressed, it’s just all part of speaking the same language – the unspoken language that happens when you play.’ Engine Three Seven were unknown as a band when they won the Busking comp eighteen months ago. Of course we knew Hot Muffin and Wild Muffin, but this collaboration was only just emerging from the shadows. ‘We only had 3 or 4 songs and we were making them up as we were playing them! It was amazing. We hadn’t taken the band seriously and we all went: this is something we have to take seriously. We were that excited – you know how good your musos are, you know it’s going to be a good gig.’ For Casey, Engine Three Seven is about challenging the expectations of what it means to be a frontman. ‘It’s the rock thing – the lead out the front – It’s been an amazing shedding of skin for

me, all the other bands I’ve been in I’ve been the most talented and they were cool with that but this band I am just a cog in the wheel we are all as talented as each other and have as much to give – down the track it is something I want to work at – with Engine I want to try and push it so Jed, Aaron and Shano are just as important as the singer – I know the boys deserve it. ‘We were thinking the other day there is always something left to do, everything feels like it is done, but we are really trying to develop a personally based band, and focus on our uniqueness and the characters that we are and push the publicity around the people of the band as well as the music...’ Recording the new EP is really what galvanised the players into making a commitment to being part of Engine. ‘We went into the studio not knowing whether the band would be together. The Wright Brothers were cranking and so

was Hot Muffin. I got the boys in and said I have a financier, I can record at Rocking Horse, you can do the gig if you want to do it and decide whether you want to stay on or follow your own path. Steve James produced it – he created a solid vibe out of something that wasn’t that solid, at the end of the day when we went into the studio Steve didn’t want to hear a word of that. We were in there on and off for 9 months –- we tracked about 11 tracks and we have come up with 4 that we have just had mastered in New York at Sterling Sound, it’s the bees knees of mastering, we just got it back and it made us take a breath and go wow, is this really us, it was that well done, we went this could not be us four surely? After listening we realised it was!’ Engine Three Seven are joined by The Charlie Parkers when they play the Hotel Great Northern on Friday. This is a free gig.

THE SOAPBOX : MANDY NOLAN POPES scare me. Apparently the Pope is God’s appointee here on Earth – a kind of CEO for Catholics. Although modern day Catholicism was founded on the teachings of the New Testament, most of the Popes have had that Old Testament feel – scary old men in frocks and big hats, it’s only a frankincense stick and a Lord’s Prayer away from the Mardi Gras. I was a good little Catholic girl. (You can probably tell.) Every night I used to lie in bed praying to Mary’s Sacred Heart to bring back my dead father, and while she was at it, deliver a Malibu Barbie. The only thing I ended up with was a profound sense of disappointment, alienation and a mild form of radiation poisoning from the glow in the dark stigmata. I’ll never forget my excitement when I unwrapped my Christmas present one year. Mum had bought me the Children’s Bible. A beautifully

LAST WEEK Peter Noble, Festival Director for Bluesfest Byron Bay released the ďŹ rst artist announcement for 2007. According to Peter, ‘It’s the best response we’ve ever had.’ After checking out the bulletin board and chatting to the general public I can conďŹ rm that the response is indeed, very positive. Booking a Festival is a vigorous, interactive and high stakes game. Promoters can’t just rest on their laurels once they mount a successful show.

Artist: Chang Han Kim

Come to a sizzling hot Beach Party! Dress up for the occasion to celebrate the first day of summer. View the fine talents of local artists accompanied with a BBQ and drinks. OPENING 6pm Friday 1 December. All welcome to attend. Lucky door prizes for best dressed, and first person to purchase a piece of art.

‘We start booking the Blues Festival almost immediately one ďŹ nishes. It’s getting on a plane and going to England, France, Spain, Germany, the US and I even went to Thailand – I hardly ever go to other festivals. I went to the San Francisco Blues Festival, it taught me something, you can’t be a strictly one genre festival. I thought it was a major event, you would have been lucky to have 5000 people there with the average age around 50. We had the

AWishin and apope-in man did he knock out some impressive bread boards. The Catholic Church, like most Christian organisations, needs to update its image, so I think it’s time the Pope had a makeover. Kind of queer eye for the straight Pope. Firstly, I’d get him into something more casual – maybe a little bit EMO to connect with the kids. Or the Pope could go a bit gangsta – he could be Po Daddy, in a giant tracksuit with his Vatican bling. He’d be like ‘Kiss my ring, brother’. And what about outsourcing for leadership talent? Who could go past Pope Mel? Think of the merchandising opportunities with ďŹ lms like: Lethal Pope, Return to St Peter’s Dome: Mad Pope III. It’s not just about

bound hard cover text with some of the Old Testament’s greatest hits. Of course, every story was beautifully illustrated. There was the full colour depiction of Abraham standing over Isaac, having what would now be deemed a schizophrenic episode: ‘God told me to kill him to show my love.’ Next to the image of Lot’s Wife being turned to a pillar of salt for seeking knowledge, my favourite illustration was the one that depicted the slaughtering of two-year-olds during King Herod’s reign. The pictures depicted bearded men in tunics holding the heads of toddlers, while their corpses lay bloodied and mutilated on the ground. (DOCS was inundated with calls during this particular period, so couldn’t get out to investigate every case.) I loved the hippy stories of the long haired Jesus. He was like a Nimbin MO dweller.

realisation years back that there was a new generation of artists that do blues but also do other things in their music. We became a festival presenting a creative type of music.’ Next year will see the return of Ben Harper, Dave Matthews Band and the inclusion of contemporary favourites like John Meyer and Wolfmother. These acts sit alongside Blues greats like Bo Didley and Taj Mahal. It’s the mix of demographic attracted by artists like those announced for 2007. ‘What I ďŹ nd is that when the young come out and they hear some of the older artists, they often really like it, but they wouldn’t go there to see them on their own. Its the mix of artists that are unlike anywhere in the world. Yet within our event there are more traditional styles of music that you wouldn’t see in any other festival. Sometimes people say they have stretched it, the true believers say it’s no longer a blues festival...but people are

being exposed to blues more than anywhere else in the country.’ Peter’s enthusiasm for next year’s Bluesfest is infectious. ‘For us it’s just incredible. In many respects Ben Harper represents what this festival is about, he hasn’t played since 2003. In Polstar in America, number 3 act is The Dave Matthews Band and we’ve got them. We are delivering the very best and they will be doing their full shows – 2 hours and more.’

There’s no great secret,(in booking) if you put a whole bunch of mindless bands you will have a mindless audience.’ Log onto www.bluesfest.com for the latest updates. Some of the other featured acts will be: Bonnie Raitt, Kasey Chambers, John Butler Trio, Fat Freddy’s Drop, Gomez, Tony Joe White, Xavier Rudd and more.

According to Peter, the response from musicians who play Bluesfest is always positive: ‘the one thing that comes back to me time and time again from artists is that it’s the best audience, it’s an amazing listening responsive audience, better than most other events, that’s what inspires the artists and why they love coming. The music at the Festival is always uplifting, we don’t put on negative music, – thrash metal or heavy messages, like mysoginistic,

the outďŹ ts, it’s also about the ideology. The Catholic Church has ďŹ nally decided to reevaluate some of its more staunch policies. After watching hundreds of thousands perish from AIDS, the Pope is considering allowing Catholics to use condoms. But they have been instructed to only purchase Catholic condoms. In fact they are even considering marketing the Vatican III, a prophylactic created in the shape of the Holy Father. Instead of selecting ‘small’ ‘medium’ or ‘large’, you just choose a hat size. The slogans are already in the pipeline: ‘Before you decide to enter the holy cathedral put the pontiff on your penis.’ Amen.

MUSIC TO SAVE CATS They say the world is divided into two sorts of people: cat people and dog people. Those who love dogs, hate cats. And vice versa. I dispute that. I have a fond affection for both, and while I understand that both are devastating to our natural environment, may I add that white people are a lot worse. Billinudgel Animal Shelter Pets For Life urgently needs funding to keep it running. It just can’t handle the numbers of animals it has to care for.

THE ALPHABET OF THINGS THAT GET ON YOUR GOAT Don’t people who are late get on your goat! ‘Meet you at 10’ they say, and turn up 20 minutes or more late. Late people are so egotistical they think that their time is more important than yours. Then if you complain to them, they make YOU the problem ‘Oh get a life, I’m only 20 minutes late’ they will say. But hey, it was YOUR 20 minutes and the late person stole it and used it to do something for themselves. Thieves! Lock them away!

KARAOKE SCHOOLGIRL FLING 3

We all know working mothers have a job on their hands balancing home life with the ofďŹ ce. But what we might underestimate is how difďŹ cult it can be for women to make the ďŹ rst steps back to the workplace after a long break bringing up children. Trying to ďŹ nd work is hard enough in this area, let alone work that ďŹ ts into picking up the kids from school. Kelly Sullivan and Amy Gale were sitting around one day wondering how they could become the next ‘Kitchen Table Tycoons’ who successfully juggle the role of motherhood and magnate. So they decided to pool their resources and talents into themed dinners for resorts and restaurants. Both Kelly and Amy have a background in visual / performance arts and prop design, before they had kids, and gained great motivation and job satisfaction from working with each other. ‘We are currently transforming the Why Not restaurant backroom into a Christmas Karaoke Bar decked out with glittering Asian kitsch decorations, a chandelier and a fairy light cosmos,’ said Amy. ‘There is no Karaoke going on in Byron over Xmas – we just thought it would be a perfect theme for work mates or groups of friends to get together, in a private space and juice out the stress of the working year whilst belting out your favorite pop song!’ said Kelly. The guys at Why Not are providing the food, with three different menu choices to choose from. The big night is happening on Saturday 9 December. For enquires or bookings, please call Kelly on 6680 1197.

The time has come for the latest Ambercam Production, Schoolgirl Fling 3. Assembly is timetabled for 9pm Saturday, at Byron Bay’s newest venue the Byron Entertainment Centre. The night offers activity, detention, sick bay, locker and recess rooms along with a tuck shop to keep you in line throughout the night. What’s more the general purpose room has a 16k watt sound system being played by headliners The Bang Gang DJ’s & HooknSling both leading the pack in Sydney and A grade support from Le Bad Krokodils, Pob, Strawberry Syme, Foxxy & Sarah Tonin. The theme is School Daze so this leaves it wide open – cross dressing which has always been a crowd favourite in the past or phazes, fads and heroes of the day but we welcome all members of the faculty to keep the students at bay. There’s only 500 pre-sale tickets available the rest are on the door, make sure you get your tickets or turn up early to avoid disappointment, gauging on past events this Fling will hit capacity!! Remember that this event is BYO no glass please and is 18+ ID reg. Check artwork or www. amber-cam.com http://www.amber-cam.com for ticket outlets and info.

What’s a typical night like at your club night in Sydney? Good music, owing booze, toilet gynmastics, drag shows, dress-ups and a whole lot of love... What is Fagazine? We got sick of putting ads in the local dimwit street press and were a bit bored with yers to promote our night so thought we would combine the two and start our own fanzine. It is basically stupid stories, irrelevant tips, dumb pictures and lots of other porn disguised as art. Our friend named it as a joke when we told her what we were going to do and it stuck.... How do you ďŹ nd hanging out in Byron? Even more enjoyable after going to Nimbin... Any Bang Gang LP’s or mix albums in the pipeline? We have just mixed the second instalment in the ‘Leave Em All Behind’ series for Modular (we didn’t choose the tracks, just put them together), mixed a exclusive CD for a store in Tokyo called Loveless, doing some more remixes and production stuff, releasing the ďŹ rst tune on our label as we speak and doing our own double mix CD for Modular early next year...

Sydney rude boys, the Gangbang DJs head to Byron to headline Schoolgirl Fling 3. Gaining notoriety with their nights in Sydney, they have gone on to support the likes of Felix Da Housecat, Darren Emerson, 2manyDJ’s, Wolfmother and Adam Freeland, as well as playing the big festivals Big Day out, Splendour in the grass and Good Vibes. I icked ‘em a few questions to get an idea of what we can expect. Six boys on ďŹ ve decks, how the hell does it work? It’s more like three people on ďŹ ve decks and we do shifts. It usually works pretty well but sometimes the night ďŹ nishes in a wrestle. What’s it like supporting rock acts like Wolfmother, does the crowd headbang to techno? It can be great cause indie/rock kids can

movie reviews BORAT You would need to have been living under a rock for the last three months to not know what this is about. I was not a fan of Ali G In Da House, so the prospect of seeing Sacha Baron Cohen again passing off mockery as wit did not appeal. But, undeniably, there are a lot of laughs and Cohen does a terriďŹ c job of maintaining the goofy accent and not giving the scam away. He pushes the envelope as he travels the US as an ‘investigative journalist’ from Kazakhstan, occasionally miscuing his eagerness to offend (the nude wrestling did nothing for me), and I was left wondering what the point was. If he meant to reveal the ‘real’ America he managed to come up with nothing that we haven’t seen before. The prejudices, phobias and pretensions of the great republic are daily fodder for comedians and commentators (not least this paper) and it’s not that hard to get people to make fools of themselves, even less so when your subjects are such soft targets. Now that he has pocketed squillions (the Kazakhs were paid $10 per

7

day) from making welcoming and generous hosts look like dills, he might take his not very original approach to Rangoon or Riyadh. John Campbell

LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE Little Miss Sunshine tells of a dysfunctional family from New Mexico that hops in a VW bus and heads to California, where seven-yearold Olive (Abigail Breslin) will enter the Little Miss Sunshine beauty pageant and teach her elders what really matters in life. It is genuinely funny, often at the most surprising moments, when we recognise the absurdness of the situations and circumstances. The cast is uniformly superb, with Abigail Breslin’s Olive almost stealing the show from the frazzled, conicted couple (Toni Collette, Greg Kinnear) and her razor wire grandpa (Alan Arkin). According to Murphy’s Law, everything must go wrong, and it does. There is a mechanical problem with the bus, a mishap with a corpse and more. At our destination, we are surrounded by miniature beauty queens with ringlets and plastic

FAVO U R I T E M OV I E Q U OTAT I O N Frank: I take it you didn’t like it at Sunset Manor? Sheryl: Frank... Grandpa: Are you kidding me? It was a fucking paradise. They got pool... They got golf...

smiles, but the climactic Little Miss Sunshine Pageant itself is a big surprise. It’s a scene to anticipate and one that perfectly captures the essence of the ďŹ lm. The ďŹ lm is a bitter-sweet black comedy that leaves nothing but a great taste, Little Miss Sunshine is a passport to a good time. After all, humour is ripest when counterbalanced with tragedy. Laugh a lot, cry a little and be uplifted by the journey. The ďŹ lm was a runaway hit at the Sundance Film Festival, and the winner of the Audience Award for Best Feature Film (World Cinema) at the Sydney Film Festival 2006.

THE WIND THAT SHAKES THE BARLEY Ken Loach is unequivocally a political artist. He makes movies that are about something – in this case the bloody rebellion that led to the birth of The Republic of Ireland in 1922 and, though it might not have been intended, the similarities with Iraq are glaring. The central character, Damien, is a doctor who at ďŹ rst is reluctant to join the edgling Republican Army. Violence

Actress Michelle Pfeiffer was the ďŹ rst choice to play Clarice Starling in the movie ‘Silence of the Lambs.’ She turned down the role because she found it too scary.

is not his way and he sees opposition to the British as futile. But after witnessing the brutalities of the occupying forces (sound familiar?) he commits to the cause. O’Donovan, leader of a cell of cloth-capped soldiers (insurgents), is a pragmatic ďŹ rebrand and long-time friend of Damien. The complexity of the Irish question and the passions it stirs inevitably result in the ultimate test being made of their relationship. Apart from anything else, this is a ďŹ ne explanation of the divisiveness that still wracks the north, though it is odd how for so long the involvement of the Catholic Church in the troubles is notable for its absence. When it is dealt with, Loach leaves no doubt about what he thinks of the clergy and its stance against those who would battle further for full independence, backing instead the newly constituted Irish Free State and its maintenance of the status quo. Intense, unashamedly partisan, with great acting and an at times terrible beauty. John Campbell 1 9ĂŠ ,‡ " / "

TABLE TALK A ROYAL SHOW OF FOOD It’s all about the exquisite dips, smoked salmon, caviar and sheep, goat and buffalo milk products in 2007. Two of Australia’s premier food events are open for entry, the Sydney Royal Cheese and Dairy Produce Show and the Sydney Royal Fine Food Show. Organised by the Royal Agricultural Society of NSW (RAS), the Shows are expanding to include the latest gourmet trends in Australian produce, with entries encouraged from around the nation. In 2007, the Cheese and Dairy Produce Show will focus on one of the leading gourmet food trends – Dips. ‘Australian dairy producers are constantly experimenting with their products, evidenced through some exciting new dip avours such as beetroot and feta dip with walnut and grapefruit relish,’ said Mr Gerry Andersen, Chair, RAS Dairy Produce Committee. The Sydney Royal Fine Food Show is also recognising Australian innovation by including new classes of smoked salmon and smoked trout, caviar, pate, terrine and mousse. ‘Our Sydney Royal Shows are a great way for new and established Australian producers to benchmark their products and promote them overseas,’ said Lyndey Milan, Food Director, The Australian Women’s Weekly and Chair, RAS Fine Food Committee. ‘2007 will be an exciting year as we recognise the innovation of Australian producers who continue to propel our ďŹ ne food industry further.’

The partnership evolved after an associate of Sandalyn’s vigneron lost his sight. The staff saw ďŹ rsthand the difďŹ culties he experienced in retaining independence. They also saw the assistance given by Vision Australia and were extremely impressed. Desiring to do more than just donate, Sandalyn’s owners want to make a real difference in the lives of people who are blind or vision impaired. Besides the wine labels, cellar door visitors can also read the full wine list in braille and large print.

Vision Australia certainly hopes demand is enormous, because for each wine purchase mentioning Vision Australia and receiving the braille/large print labelling, Sandalyn Wilderness Estate will donate 25% of the purchase price back to Vision Australia as in-kind support.

‘We’ve initially selected a range of four styles and prices to ensure the labelling can be produced efďŹ ciently and quickly,’ says John McGain, Sales and Marketing Manager at Sandalyn, ‘If demand requires, we can add accessible labelling to a larger range of wines and to the gourmet goods.’

‘Being able to select wine from the rack and serve my friends will be a huge bonus, especially for my friends,’ jokes Michael Simpson, General Manager Policy & Advocacy at Vision Australia, ‘They won’t have to tell me the wine or take pot luck. I can be the perfect host in my own home.’

Thanks to a new partnership between Sandalyn Wilderness Estate and Vision Australia, wine lovers who are blind or vision impaired will be able to read the labels on their chosen wines independently. Hunter Valley winery, Sandalyn Wilderness Estate, is producing wine with a braille and large print label alongside their standard labels on four varieties of wine – Merlot, Shiraz, Chardonnay and Semillon Verdelho.

In 2007, the Sydney Royal Cheese and Dairy Produce Show will also judge everything from sheep, goat and buffalo milk products to cheese, milk, chocolate, yoghurt, icecream, gelato and butter. The Sydney Royal Fine Food Show will also judge Sydney Rock oysters, prawns, pasta and coffee.

Our enjoyment of wine utilises many senses, and we match it carefully with our food to enhance the avours, but how can you tell which wine you are opening if you can’t read the label on the bottle? Braille and large print labels will make wine more accessible to a range of Australians.

I can live without chocolate. I can live without bread, and I can –if I really have to – live without wine. But the one thing I hope I am never required to renounce is cheese. Cheese is a funny food in that it is one of the few capable of inspiring passion. Those who are indifferent to it could never understand this – yet launch into a conversation about it with someone who loves it and you will be witness to a display of emotion. I am sitting in a cafe talking to Diane Vickery who deďŹ nitely belongs to the camp of the passionate. Diane is the woman I privately refer to as the Cheese Lady: for the past two years she has run her single-handed business called Cheese Please and supplied an increasing number of local retail outlets and eateries with cheeses. It all came about when, after chefďŹ ng for about 25 years in Melbourne, she made the move up to the Byron Shire, desirous of complete change. She wanted to utilise her experience – and her passion – in a different way and so began to research the region in an attempt to ďŹ nd an area of specialisation, some untapped niche. And so Cheese Please was born, launched at A Taste of Byron festival two years ago. It has been an interesting and often challenging journey for Diane in which she feels she has learned an extraordinary amount, and can ďŹ nally begin to feel established. Mostly, however, it is a job which brings her much joy, especially with regard to her semi-mission to introduce the palates of diners to Australian as opposed to imported cheeses. She loves being, in her own words, ‘part of the food chain in Byron’, liaising with food professionals and helping them achieve their goals and standards, passing her ever-growing knowledge on to apprentices. The personal touch is of prime importance and while it is at times a lonely profession she is determined to keep it a one-woman operation in order not to dilute that personal element. And so to speciďŹ cs. What, I ask, is her favourite cheese? The answer is any of the washed-rind cheeses, the so-called ‘smelly’ cheeses. Will Studd’s most gorgeous book ‘Chalk and Cheese’ describes these as among the earliest surface-ripened cheeses, going on to say that ‘it is believed that they originated in the medieval monasteries’. Most of them are made from cow’s milk and the best production time is autumn; their orange rinds and rustic smells are to be sure associated with the colours and the smells of that season. According to Diane, it is this type of cheese which is generally favoured by judges at cheese competitions. I love these cheeses too but am at a loss as to which my favourite cheese really is. I love nearly all cheeses and one may be a favourite in a particular mood or situation, only to be replaced by another once those circumstances change. I adore fresh – real – Parmigiano Reggiano, a chunk stabbed from the wheel with one of those cute little knives designed for the purpose: I love its complex layers of avours which range from tangy to sweet to sharp to nutty, and its sublime, crumbly texture. At other times a bulging creamy triple cream hits just the right note – and then there is gorgonzola, the sweet as opposed to the piquant, with its tones of buttery lushness. One column about cheese is simply not enough, I realise as I write it: there is just too much about which to gush. I have to ask Diane about Mersey Valley cheese, sold in probably every supermarket in the country. I already know what Will Studd’s attitude to supermarket cheeses is: one of cold contempt. I tell Diane that I actually love this cheese and regularly purchase it, and that many of my friends love it too. Diane is not at all surprised She tells me that Mersey Valley is almost universally adored and that it may well be one of the most popular cheeses around. She then goes on to describe the process whereby it is made and how it is a cheese mostly about the avours (its texture she ďŹ nds ‘pasty’) with which it is injected. None of what she tells me manages to turn me off at all! Second most popular cheese is Castello Blue which came as no surprise to me, although I have always personally felt it was like eating avoured butter. At one one one cafĂŠ in Byron Bay – where we are chatting – some of their little blackboard menus suggest wine and cheese combinations offering some unusual and inspired couplings. If you fancy cheese, I recommend dropping in for a little education and a lot of pleasure.

Sports Roundup with John Campbell

The transcendental chip to the green

codgers look for their lost Titleists. There is no more pathetic sight than the golfer who can’t find his ball. You’ll see one any time you drive past a course – a soul in limbo. At the sixth, a malicious dogleg, I glimpse Sledge kick his ball out of the rough. I pretend I didn’t notice, figuring that my creative scorekeeping will more than compensate for his chicanery. That’s another

appealing thing about golf – when you sail past par before reaching the green, nobody can remember how many shots it took you to finally sink the putt. My drive at the ninth is a beauty, straight down the middle. I stride after it, accompanied in my head by Elgar’s Pomp and Circumstance as the water fountain nearby goes off like a Roman candle. Only moments earlier I thought it pretentious and not in keeping with the course’s cultivated ambience of a boutique cemetery. I discover that the approach to the elevated green is much trickier. I must clear a water hazard but not overshoot the flag. What would The Shark do? Club selection is a real teaser. I agonise over it before having my epiphany. Golf allows for such illuminations. It’s a reward for suffering the sport’s ghastly dress code – which makes me think that Carrie Webb must be the world’s most enlightened human. I see with divine clarity that, no matter how I hit the ball, it will end up where it ends up. Que sera sera, as Normie Rowe wailed. I explain it all to Sledge. He raises an eyebrow – it’s

his look of intellectual enquiry, and I can see it’s hurting him. ‘Fate, mate. It’s unarguable!’ I babble like the true proselyte. Sledge, having fudged his way to a spot that throws his shadow directly across my lay, is nonplussed. I spell it out for him. ‘You can’t deny it or escape it, because it always happens.’ He grapples with my metaphysics as he studies his fiveiron. I nail my argument with an e.g. ‘I know who the first person you’ll see will be when you go back to town.’ Sledge does the eyebrow thing again. ‘It will be the first person you see!’ Too obvious. It occurs to me that Norman may have had the same flash. ‘You reckon that’s the Shark’s secret?’ I’m trembling with the thought that I may have unlocked golf ’s profound mystery. ‘Gotta be.’ Sledge is equally uplifted. We return to the game, glowing with the sportsman’s state of grace. Sledge slices his ball into the next fairway, I plonk mine into the middle of the lake. There goes another par.

Denise too good in Ocean Shores challenge

John Campbell

Gossamer mists drifting across the downs of Myocum, the sun’s golden orb rising majestically above the horizon, jacarandas carpeting the ground with pointillist purple petals, a murder of crows breakfasting on bandicoot road kill – God’s in his heaven, all’s right with the world and I’m on my way to a 6.30 tee-off at Byron golf course. I was moved to get the clubs out of the shed and have another crack at the ancient and infuriating game by the sight of Greg Norman marching around Royal Sydney the other week. Square shouldered, snowy haired and with those icy blue eyes set deep in that craggy, tanned face. What’s the word? An icon? I rang Sledge, who was as keen as I to hit the links. The Shark has that effect every time he visits. It’s probably the grotesque wealth and the trail of sycophants that’s so inspiring. Norman’s career has hardly been an underachiement – he won two British Opens and a swag of tournaments from Florida to California. But he never picked up a major in his adopted homeland, though he did come agonisingly close.

We discuss the Shark’s tragedy as we barely manage to avoid double figures at first hole. 1996. Who could forget that fourth day at Augusta? Norman led the US Masters by six strokes. At last he’d don the coveted green winner’s jacket. Astonishingly, he produced the greatest choke in history. The Englishman Nick Faldo not only caught him, he went on to beat him by five. The Great White

Shark became the not so great Wobbegong before a global TV audience. Few people could have suffered such psychological torment. It speaks volumes for the man within that he has, at least on the surface, shown no lasting emotional scars. ‘You reckon being a multimillionaire might have helped him cope?’ I ask Sledge. ‘Probly.’ We play through at the third while a couple of old

Having a flog. Painting by John Campbell

Over 65 women golfers were involved in a fiercely contested struggle to win the annual Ocean Shores Ladies Spring Bowl tournament last week. All ladies teed-off in conditions that could not have been better and eveybody enjoyed equally the warmth of the day as well as the heat of the battle. The course was in immaculate condition, allowing for excellent scoring across the board. Competition was close throughout, with the victor uncertain until the end when Denise Copeland emerged to take the bowl with Anne Slater as the runner-up. Pictured is Denise receiving her prize.

Sports Roundup with John Campbell

Tomorrow’s champs among the grommets The next wave of Aussie surfing stars took to the water in the Quiksilver Australian Grommet Titles on the weekend, with the country’s top U/18 year olds vying for ten national crowns in the 42nd staging of the event. The consistent beachbreaks of Ballina have been chosen as the setting for nearly 200 aspiring professional surfers contesting the U/18 boys, U/18 girls, U/16 boys and U/16 girls, along with six national school titles competed for by a qualifying field from all states of Australia. Winners will automatically be included in the 2007 Quiksilver ISA World Junior Championships in Portugal next May. The opening heats were held in peaky 1-1.5 metre waves at Sharps Beach, with local surfer Stuart Kennedy (Lennox Head) producing scintilating form in compre-

hensively winning his heat, posting in the process two excellent 8 point plus rides and the day’s second highest score of 16.4 out of a possible 20 and being awarded the Wave of the Day. Also starting with an impressive win on Monday was Byron Bay super grommet and current U/16 NSW champ Garrett Parkes, who is contesting the extremely talented U/16 division. Garrett is aware of the challenge before him. ‘To win in such a competitive field would be amazing. ‘It is one of the most prestigious junior events in the country and with the standard in Australian surfing so high it means you have really accomplished something.’ The tournament will continue throughout the we e k u n t i l S at u r d ay Byron’s Garret Parkes, an early standout performer at the National Grommets Titles.

Everyone can be a lifesaver

Learn surfing from the best

Olympian and parent Samantha Riley reminds us to take extra care of the littlies in the water.

Royal Life Saving is urging parents to ‘keep watch and keep them alive.’ With summer around the corner it has launched the Keep Watch 2006 campaign, describing drowning as a hidden epidemic among children under ďŹ ve. It is the leading cause of preventable death in that age group, ďŹ gures showing that in the last ten years there is one such tragedy every week,

with three kids admitted to hospital as a result of immersion in water incidents for every fatality. Olympic swimming star and mother of two, Samantha Riley is backing the Keep Watch initiative as the program Ambassador. She says all parents need to be vigilant and ensure they are constantly supervising their children – within arm’s reach – when near or in water.

Close to one million Australians do a Royal Life Saving program every year and 120,000 lifesavers are regularly having their training upgraded, but there is no room for complacency. Keep Watch 2006 also stresses that the backyard pool is a potential death trap for toddlers, it being the scene of almost half of all drownings in the under ďŹ ve group. ‘Ensure your pool is fenced,’ Royal Life Saving’s Rob Bradley emphasised. ‘Put your children through water familiarisation classes and learn resuscitation skills. But above all, supervision is vital, particularly at parties and gatherings. We want zero drownings. It’s as simple as that.’ A free information kit has been produced and can be downloaded from the keepwatch.com.au website.

Steve Foreman, coach of current number one female surfer Layne Beachley, and former ASP World Champion, Pauline Menczer, will be conducting a development program in conjunction with SurďŹ ng Far North Coast. It will be conducted on consecutive Saturdays at Belongil for one month, 2 hours per session, commencing December 9. The program is designed for intermediate (meaning those who are conďŹ dent to get out the back alone and surf to the beach), to advanced surfers, for both boys and girls age 10 years and up.

Crankin

There are only 5 spots available so you’ll need to book early! You must also be able to swim, have your own wetsuit, surfboard, towel, hat, water and sunscreen. The cost is $120 for the month program; $30 payment must be received before the commencement of each week. Payment may be via cash or money order made out to SurďŹ ng Far North Coast. If you cannot attend on the day prior notice is essential so a reserve can fill your spot. For Bookings call Steve, preferably after hours, on 6685 1855.

Despite the relatively dry weather Rous Water (www. r o u sw a t e r. n sw. g o v. a u ) reports the level in the Rocky Creek Dam is at 91% and consumption levels are just under the target level of 37 megalitres a day. However, expect consumption to shoot up somewhat as the silly season gets into full swing and city slickers take longer showers than their country cousins. Q Q Q Q Anyone looking for a free feed and some entertainment should get along to the Beggars Banquet at Railway Park next Saturday. See the details on page 19. It might also be an insight into the plight of the homeless in Byron Shire. Q Q Q Q Contrary to our news report last week on the Mallams development, June Grant is not a resident of Station Street. She does live nearby, however. Q Q Q Q There is a rumour oating about that The Echo has moved out of Mullum. This is not true – Mullum is still our production beehive, as it has been for the last 20 years, apart from a stint in Brunswick Heads in 88/89. The only new thing is that we’ve moved our Byron Bay ofďŹ ce a bit further along Jonson Street – see the details in the ad on page 4. Q Q Q Q Ooh, what’s this, A New Direction For Local Government? In its latest frenzy of document-making – see www.dlg.nsw.gov.au – the state government wants to make council meetings more ‘family-friendly’, for instance. Why not? Bring along the kids and the dog and a picnic hamper and sit engrossed in a three hour discussion on road marking. ‘Communities need to be convinced local

government is working as efďŹ ciently as it can to deliver better services,’ said local government minister Kerry Hickey. Well ďŹ rstly, Kezza, we might like some of our state politicians to stop behaving like schoolyard bullies. Q Q Q Q Some of our best friends are Americans – no, really – and we’re happy if they want to become Australian citizens. But is it just too sycophantic the Australian government is now staging Thanksgiving celebrations as a ‘tribute’? Aren’t there a few other nationalities who became Australian citizens who deserve a ‘tribute’? What about the Greeks? Or the Chinese? Let’s face it, their celebratory food is better to start with. Q Q Q Q A new website for Red Dragon Inn at www.reddragoninn.com.au. Not just purveyors of yummy organic ginger beer, Red Dragon has a whole section online about regional sustainability. Expect McDonald’s to adopt veganism next. Q Q Q Q Christian Democratic Party MP the Rev Fred Nile, one of the heavy hitters in the production of press releases, wants legislation to prevent people wearing face masks in public, following the riotous behaviour of anarchists in Melbourne at the G20 summit. He’s also whacked in a bit about ‘Islamic fundamentalists’ not being allowed to wear face veils in public. Why stop there? Get rid of sunglasses, hats and lipstick, we say.What the hell, ban clothes altogether – it’ll make body cavity searches by Ruddock’s stormtroopers so much easier. Q Q Q Q Hot air from Parliament now tipped as renewable energy source for foreseeable future.
