Police deny unfair targeting of Straight Edge

No easy fix for youth tensions in Byron Shire Story & photo Lou Beaumont The youth of the Shire, and of Australia in general, seem to be getting some bad press at the moment. As it is with almost every profession, religion or generational group, a few bad eggs potentially means the whole basket is labelled rotten. As Tom Burrey, 20 years, from Straight Edge, a youth movement focusing on positive life choices puts it, ‘it’s a bit like ignorant people saying all Muslims are terrorists... just as not all kids with our image are Straight Edge.’ Straight Edge, for those of you as unfamiliar with youth dialect as I am, is a life choice, just as veganism or vegetarianism is a life choice. According to the Straight Edge crew, they are not a gang and they are not a cult. It has been a movement with momentum for around 25 years, since the arrival of hardcore on the

music scene. They decide not to buy into the negativity that surrounds so much of modern urban life. Their music preference is hardcore, with an image to suit, and according to Tom, they choose to abstain from violent behaviour, drinking, drugs and negative promiscuity. Many come to this choice to live consciously through prior negative experiences in their earlier childhood or teenage years. Others just come to see its positive influence through friends and choose to change their outlook. The Straight Edge crew want to set the record straight. They say they are being unfairly targeted and driven out of Byron by the police. The young men are asking how it is that the youth in the streets are able to receive a non-violent message when all they see is an

aggressive example. They believe it doesn’t make any sense. Tom said, ‘We just want to clear up the name of our lifestyle. Right now, anyone who has a vaguely hardcore image is being pulled aside and hassled. This is partly due to people using our name inappropriately. We’ve seen people involved in street fights claim to be Straight Edge when questioned by police because they know we are a non-violent group. ‘All this does is muddy our name, dilute our principles and blur the lines between the few people causing trouble and those who are trying to set a positive example. Now we are all being targeted.’ Bob Tate, 19 years and also Straight Edge, said, ‘We just want the to cops to know what’s really going on. We are

If love could stop you dying…

Byron Bay identity Tony Narracott gets into training for his own wake. Photo Jeff Dawson

Mandy Nolan Have you ever been at a wake for someone you love and thought, damn, I wish they could have been here to see all these people and to hear how loved they were? It seems such a shame that a celebration for the ones we love happens when they are no longer here. It isn’t going to be that way for Tony Narracott. This continued on page 2 long time Byron Bay resident and high profile community member has embraced his diagnosis with inoperable lymphatic cancer with positivity and is planning one hell of a party, or as Tony calls it: ‘an Awakening.’ ‘I don’t mind dying. Everyone should experience this, I am lucky I have been given this warning. I don’t believe them for a minute, I am eating well, I have taken notice of what they have said and I have all these people popping around with their cures, so many people have survived cancer. At the moment I’m reading Detox or Die – it’s a great book!’ Tony has been deeply touched by the amount of Byron Bay residents Tom Burrey, left, and Bob Tate put their faces as covers to the book of the people who have reached out Straight Edge name in the hope of clearing their reputations.

to him once his diagnosis became public. ‘I have all these CDs and tapes – it’s the fact that they all mean so well, that’s what rubs off on you and makes you feel good. People go on and say we don’t have a community any more – but they’ve been coming down from the hills! ‘If love could stop you dying than I am going to live forever. It’s amazing the feeling I am getting since the announcement, it’s just an amazing feeling…’ ‘Barbara [Tony’s partner] thinks it might set off a trend where people host their own wake, as long as you have the good luck of being warned. I think I am privileged, the death the oncologist described is beautiful – you eat less and less, you sleep more and more and one day you don’t wake up, it’s not you that hurts, it’s the people you leave behind.’ Tony recalls the first time he came to Byron. It was love at first sight. ‘I came in ’72 originally… We went up Lighthouse Road and it was all shut up, they were all weekenders,

and I just fell for it, on that particular day.’ A life member of the Byron Bay Chamber of Commerce, Mr Narracott has been an invaluable community member who intends to give back to the town that he says has given him so much. Tony’s Awakening will be raising funds to go to a charity called the Tony Narracott Memorial sub-fund which operates under the auspice of the Northern Rivers Community Foundation. Tony intends the money to go to projects for the youth of Byron. Mr Narracott is in full support of a state of the art skatepark in Byron. ‘As residents in town we never had any problem with a skatepark. It should go up by the pool. ‘Up on the Butler Street reserve would have been a disaster. That’s a thing that I would love to see – The Tony Narracott Skate Park!’ Tony also spoke very highly of the Byron Youth Service and the work Paul Spooner has been doing there.

Bruns ‘will not tolerate’ bad behaviour

The Brunswick Heads Chamber of Commerce called a meeting last Monday to develop strategies to address the two incidences of unacceptable behaviour over the Christmas/New Year period, which it says marred an otherwise outstanding family holiday season in the Brunswick Heads village. Representatives from the Chamber of Commerce, Progress Association, Byron Shire Holiday Parks Reserve Trust and Byron Shire Councillor Dianne Woods were advised that the police have jurisdiction and full powers to enforce the ‘no consumption of alcohol’ policy in the foreshore parks between the hours of 7pm and 7am.The Department of Lands has already erected extra signs in the parks to reinforce this message. Chamber president Valerie Hardy said, ‘The police statistics reveal that incidents in Brunswick Heads are down on last year and that local

mitted to undertake a full review and safety audit of the town, and are working in conjunction with the Department of Lands, Council and community groups on ongoing strategies to ensure that Brunswick remains a safe place for both locals and visitors. The incident on NewYears Eve which drew national headlines saw the Leckie family and friends allegedly bashed by youths in Pelican Park. Around 6pm on New Years evening the Leckies called the police to complain of a large young group of people drinking alcohol in Pelican Park a couple of hundred metres from their house. Police arrived at the park and the crowd subsequently quietened down. Later that evening, the Leckie family and friends were walking back from a picnic when Mr Leckie, Mr Hurst and a family friend allegedly intervened in a fight

working towards a non-violent society and when I didn’t feel I was being listened to on the streets, I went into the station in my own time to talk to them. As soon as I walked in, the inspector said outright, “I don’t want to hear anything you have to say�... talk about not being heard. All I wanted to do is clear up the misconceptions. They are targeting the wrong people.’ The Echo asked the boys whether more forums where they could be heard by parents, council members and police would help. Indeed, all agreed that the forums were a good idea but questioned how effective they were in the long-term. After all, a skate park was promised to them at the last forum and it has not eventuated. They seem to be losing faith in the system. The police have had

enough too. According to youth workers and the kids, the police are now employing a blanket no tolerance approach to all kids fitting a certain aesthetic on the streets of Byron. Inspector Greg Jago of Byron Bay Police said, ‘I’m curious how they can say our enforcement is unfair – those involved in anti-social and violent behaviour are telling us they are Straight Edge. We do not have the facilities to tell us who is and who isn’t really Straight Edge by definition. In addition, I’d argue that this group is not purely non-violent. We have obtained exhibits in relation to violent behaviour on a known member of the Straight Edge crew. Their behaviour does not seem to comply to their claims of non-violent principles. ‘We don’t see why such large numbers of similarly dressed youths need to con-

gregate in town. Straight Edge or not, these groups are intimidating to other members of society and we have implemented a number of strategies, all of which are supported by legislation, that aim to reduce the number of violent offences.’ Deb Pearse, Street Cruise coordinator, who has been working on the program for four years, says, ‘The police have indicated that they will be targeting “straight edge� young people and that they feel the time for negotiation is long past. ‘As a youth worker my approach is obviously not a law enforcement one and although I abhor the violence, I believe that there is always a solution. As a program Street Cruise is about support and providing opportunities for behaviour change. That can take time but it does happen. We also look for a community

approach which will work long-term and for whatever “tribe� of young people are hanging out in Byron. ‘During my years with Street Cruise, there has always been sporadic outbursts from the kids that hang out on the street. It is ever present. It is a really complex scenario that needs a whole lot of approaches. One of the problems, of course, is the kids don’t have anywhere to go. They have a fairly rundown building during the day but that’s it. They need somewhere to go at night, and importantly, they need to have ownership of it, they need to be the ones to run it. They need to feel significant in society again.’ Karena Williams, also of Street Cruise, agrees, ‘People seem to forget these are just kids. They need our support. Without support, they have no way to change their behaviour.’

between three boys just outside their house. This was witnessed by the nearby crowd and about 60 young men ran over and fought with the three men. The men, their families, including all of the children, were still all outside but had managed to retreat to their front lawn when the crowd jumped the Leckie’s fence. Adrian Leckie lost teeth and Mr Hurst and their friend suffered head injuries during the attack. Local Area Commander Superintendent Michael Kenny told The Echo that he was confident that everything that could have been done was done. ‘Police began investigating the claims immediately and canvassing of the area began that evening,’ he said. Supt Kenny is meeting with Councillors next week to discuss how to better manage alcohol free zones in the future.

and visiting families have enjoyed a fun-filled and friendly time enjoying the seaside natural attractions, the Carnival, the twilight Christmas celebrations and the Woodchop Festival. It is most unfortunate that the two incidents that have been widely reported in the media have put a dampener on things. The fireworks night at the opening of the Woodchop carnival was a huge success and incident free. ‘Underage drinking in the parks and antisocial behaviour will not be tolerated in our village and the community is already pulling together to develop some short and long term strategies to address the issues.’ All minor incidents or relevant safety concerns should be reported immediately to the police assistance line on 13 14 44, should the police station be unstaffed, says the chamber.

have maintained that high standard,’ said Mr Linabury. ‘Sixteen students scored UAIs above 90 and there were more than 40 individual subject scores in band six.’ So what makes a particular group of students perform so well? According to Mr Linabury, it all starts in Year 7 when new friendships are formed and the students are encouraged to form close and competitive relationships with their peers. ‘They were a really tight group from the beginning,’ said Mr Linabury, ‘and their Year Adviser Meg Quinn encouraged them to stay close and look to others within their peer group who were achieving well and attempt to emulate them. Of course, Nyssa’s results are particularly outstanding and place her as one of the top students on the north coast.’ With such a high UAI, one

SEMINYAK LIFESTYLE

Alex McAuley Nyssa Lonergan is a young woman with a very bright future who’s just coming to terms with the enormity of her achievement in her final exams at high school. An intelligent, conscientious girl, this Mullumbimby High School student was expected to do well in her HSC, however not even in her wildest dreams did she expect to do as well as she did. Attaining a UAI of 99.35 with scores of over 90 in all her subjects – in fact her lowest score was 92 – the jewel in the crown of her achievement was first in NSW in Indonesian Beginners with a mark of 98. Nyssa was, appropriately, holidaying in Bali when the results came out and was completely unaware of what she had accomplished. ‘While I was away I kept getting emails from family and friends congratulating me but nobody actually said what they were congratulating me for,’ said Nyssa. ‘I couldn’t work it out because it was too early for the HSC results to have come out, so I rang Mum who told me I’d topped the state in Indonesian. ‘I still can’t quite believe it,’ said Nyssa. ‘I was sick when I sat the Indonesian exam and applied for medical misadventure. On top of that all of us who sat the exam commented on how hard it was and how we felt we hadn’t done very well.’ Deputy Principal at Mullum High Ray Linabury told The Echo that Nyssa’s marks were the most outstanding in an excellent year‘s results for the school. ‘Traditionally Mullum High does very well in the HSC, and last year‘s students

would expect that Nyssa would choose to go on to study medicine or law, and indeed she has been strongly urged by some friends and family to do so, but her greatest desire is to work with the community and she has decided to stick with her original choice and pursue social work after taking a well deserved year off. Her only concession to her outstanding results is to apply for a dual degree at UQ in both social work and arts so she can continue her studies in Indonesian. And according to Mr Linabury Nyssa is doing exactly the right thing. ‘There’s no point in a person doing something that they don’t want to do; she should be doing whatever her heart tells her,’ he said. ‘She will be exceptional in whatever it is that she chooses to do.’

Man fined $30k for illegal tree clearing A man was found guilty in the Mullumbimby Court on Thursday December 21 last year of illegally clearing trees in a reserve in Brownell Drive, Watego’s Beach at Byron Bay in May last year. The offender was fined $30,000 and ordered to pay costs of $5,578. A conviction was also recorded. Byron Shire Council officers investigated the matter following concerns raised by neighbours. Council visited the site and confirmed that significant clearing had been carried out on the reserve in contravention of Council’s tree preservation order. Council said it was very pleased with the cooperation provided by concerned neighbours in the area which allowed the offender to be identified. Ray Darney, Director of Council’s Planning Development and Environmental Services said, ‘The local court has confirmed that illegal tree clearing in the Shire is a very serious matter. It is hoped that the penalty awarded in the case will act as a deterrent and prevent others from carrying out similar acts.’ Mr Darney said that Council would use the fine for restoration of this site and other illegally cleared sites to ensure that the areas were returned to their previous condition. He declined to release the man’s name to The Echo, and the local court was closed at the time of inquiry.

A novel start to writers’ new year If you’re planning to write the great Australian novel, the upcoming Getting Started writing workshop with Leigh Redhead, pictured, is a good place to start. This workshop is the first in the Northern Rivers Writers’ Centre’s series of creative writing workshops entitled Aspects of the Novel, to be held in Byron Bay from February to June. Aspects of the Novel comprises six one-day workshops that cover every aspect of creative writing from crafting your opening sentence to bundling your finished manuscript off to the publishers, with all the key elements of storytelling dealt with in between. The aim of the series is to guide yet-to-be published novel writers through all the stages of the novel writing process. The series will be equally well-suited to writers working in parallel genres such as short story or mem-

oir. Beginners and practicing writers are all welcome. Local writers Marele Day and Alan Close will join citybased counterparts Leigh Redhead, Sue Woolfe and Delia Falconer to present the workshop series, covering a wide range of topics including character, dialogue, plot and pace, imagery and style and rewriting and editing. Generous discounts are available for anyone who books the whole six-workshop series but workshops can be

Former monk holds Buddhist meditation retreat Buddhist psychologist and meditation teacher John Barter, pictured, is holding a week long meditation retreat in Byron Bay this week. ‘Buddhist mindful meditation is a template of dis-identifying from our roles, responsibilities and duties such as business, partner and family. It’s looking within to find and realise that we are already free,’ John told The Echo. At the age of just 17, John was ordained as a Buddhist Monastic Monk. ‘I saw it as an avenue to clarity, peace and freedom,’ he says.

While living as a Theravada forest monk for 11 years, John’s daily routine included chanting, meditation, instructions from senior monks and chores. ‘We also did alms rounds, which meant going into the village in the morning where we would be given one bowl of food per day.’ Since returning to civilian life, John now practises psychology and works with cancer patients. ‘Cancer manifests where there is a weakness, and it’s only recently that modern science stress and cancer.

booked individually as well. Leigh Redhead’s Getting Started workshop, the first in the series, is a workshop for people who’re going to start a book but they’re not sure when. It’s for people who did start writing but stopped. And it’s for those who started and are still going‌ but want to get finished. As Leigh says, ‘If I can go from being the world’s biggest procrastinator to writing three books then you can too.’ This will be a fun work-

shop packed with novel-writing techniques, exercises, advice and inspiration. Leigh Redhead’s career as a writer has been short and spectacular and had its beginnings in this region. In 2003 Leigh accepted a Northern Rivers Writers’ Centre mentorship with Marele Day and this led to her first book, Peepshow, being published by Allen & Unwin. She has since written a second novel in the Simone Kirsch stripper/private eye crime series and has been named one of the Sydney Morning Herald Best Young Australian Novelists for 2004 and 2005. Her third book in the Simone Kirsch series will be released this year. Getting Started will be held on Saturday, February 3. NRWC members $55, non-members $70. Numbers are limited and bookings are essential. Call the Writers’ Centre on 6685 5115 or email susie@nrwc.org.au for bookings or enquiries.

A special screening of the hit comedy adventure Happy Feet will be held in Byron Bay on Thursday, January 18, to raise funds for Southern Cross University’s Whale Research Centre. The screening, at Byron Cinemas, will be attended by Howard and Rosy Whelan, of Whelan Productions, who coordinated much of the photographic work for the film. Their work was reported on in the December 19 edition of The Echo. The screening will include a question and answer session with Howard and Rosy, and Associate Professor Peter Harrison, the director of Southern Cross University’s Whale Research Centre. Author Di Morrisey, patron of the Centre, will also be attending. Happy Feet, which opened around Australia on Boxing Day, is an animated com-

edy set in Antarctica. It features the voices of Elijah Wood, Robin Williams, Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman. Howard and Rosy Whelan have had a long-standing involvement in the film’s production.

a passion for his town and still has a few things to say about the direction, or lack of direction that Byron finds itself. ‘One of the fights I’ve had with Council is that they don’t seem to have a vision, they seem to jump from one crisis to another.’ ‘The Big Picture [a visioning event held some 12 year s ago] was phenomenal. The Mayor [Mike Berwick] came down from Port Douglas and he had a vision, he had a population cap on his area and maintained it. You need someone like him, a bit of a demagogue.’ Tony’s attitude towards dying is truly life affirming, and has been something of an inspiration to friends, family and his community at large. ‘People are frightened of

using the C word. It’s a funny experience, the older people don’t want to talk about death – at the golf club they are incredulous – a lot of people are talking about it and facing their mortality – it really comes home to people. I think the fact that I was still playing rugby last year, people think it couldn’t happen.’ The Awakening is to be held at the Byron Bay Golf Club on Wednesday January 17 and features a performance by jazz band Soul’d. Tickets are $35 and are available at the club or at Wallace’s Menswear in Byron Bay. Food is included and proceeds go to Byron Youth Service. Tony may have found a new role for himself: ‘Even my doctor is coming. We are going to have one every six months – I’ve had a lot of fun in Byron!’

Foundation tuned to music outback Story & photo Lou Beaumont New Years Eve at the Woodford Folk Festival saw the lively launch of the Music Outback Foundation. It was particularly fitting that the launch took place there as all of the musicians involved in the program met via the festival. Those musicians, directly involved in the teaching of music to indigenous children in remote communities, are Steve Berry, Mal Webb, Matt Hill and Greg Sheehan. The foundation was set up to strengthen cultural expression, community empowerment and education in remote Indigenous Australia. The program is already effective in several regions across Australia. The foundation aims to encourage attendance of children at remote schools, to build partnerships between schools and the community, support the Aboriginal language and culture, enhance literacy and numeracy among the students, assist in musically training local indigenous staff, and to create meaningful learning opportunities within the school and the community as a whole. Attendance improvements are noticed immediately when Music Outback workshops are scheduled at the schools. The foundation teachers engage the kids with music and songwriting, often using musical implements that are easily accessible to all students, such as old soft drink bottles as per-

/Ê , Ê*, cussion instruments. At the end of each workshop, the students put on a concert for the community, giving musicians in the community the opportunity to perform alongside the children. Elders also have the unique opportunity to listen to ancient stories passed down through the generations in the original language but in a contemporary context – something that the elders are emotionally affected by. The elders realise that not only are these stories now immortalised in song but they have found a way to excite the kids with stories that they were becoming increasingly disinterested in due in part to the infiltration of American culture via television. With music being such a big part of Aboriginal culture, it is an ideal way for the community to connect with the school and for different generations to come together through music.

These songwriting workshops also greatly enhance the literacy and numeracy skills of the students. The foundation teachers have witnessed abilities amongst the indigenous students, especially the older ones, that are equal to university entrance level. The foundation reminds us that if these kids lived in bigger cities they would be able to go to university with such talent. The foundation aims to train indigenous teachers so they in turn can offer their students lessons in the genres that appeal to each student. The Music Outback teachers and musicians visit their assigned communities each term. At the launch, the founder of Music Outback, Mullumbimby resident Steve Berry, was quick to praise the musicians who have devoted so much of their time to the foundation and its setup despite their own busy schedules. Steve Berry, along with another Byron musician, Greg Sheehan, has the crucial frontline role of introducing new teachers to remote communities, setting up the schools and training the appropriate musicians assigned to that group. Steve said, ‘Our aim is to further develop this program so that it can be duplicated and built up where necessary in every state. We hope to find more musicians willing

to make the remote visits a permanent part of their professional lives. That way, we are delivering a consistent program – a relationship that develops within each region over time.’ Greg Sheehan, one of Australia’s most well known percussionists and innovative teachers of rhythm, has a passion for his remote teaching role, ‘I love getting to the outback to be with the kids. They are all such incredibly natural dancers and musicians.’ Gabby Hollows, daughter of Fred Hollows, lent her support at the launch. She said, ‘I am very proud to be associated with this group. It is an amazing thing that all of these talented musicians can give up their time to train indigenous communities in such a positive field.’ For four years the foundation has been in operation in schools in the Northern Territory’s Ti Tree community and representatives came down especially for the launch. April Campbell, teacher at Ti Tree School, said ‘Many wonderful things have come from the Music Outback program already. I have noticed that the kids are enthusiastic about Music Outback and therefore school in general. We are pleased to be working together as a community with the foundation towards our goals.’

Enlisting God at the polling booth Vol 21 #30

January 9, 2007

Council report cards Each year the NSW local government minister indulges in a little council-annoying – council-bashing is too strong a term for it, given the pitiful cudgel at the minister’s disposal – when releasing comparative performance indicators for councils across the state. As local councils are the creatures of state government, the government feels justified in shifting all blame for disasters in local government areas, from garbage fee increases to plagues of boils, to the relevant council. Residents often go along with this, since it’s easier to have a shot at your local representative than at the distant gods in Macquarie Street. Kerry Hickey, this year’s incumbent minister – at least until the end of March – calls the thrillingly-named report ‘Comparative Information of NSW Local Government Councils’ a ‘vital accountability check on local government’, whereas the bad bits of the auditor-general’s checks on state government are usually glossed over by relevant ministers. Hickey says that ratepayers are entitled to ‘bang for their buck’ (presumably under the Disorderly Houses Act) and ‘expect councils to show respect to them and treat their hard-earned money responsibly’, rather than throw it away on cross-city tunnels no-one uses, for instance. The report in question is available online at www.dlg. nsw.gov.au – it might take a little while to download. It contains comparative performance data for the financial years 2002/03, 2003/04 and 2004/05. There are hours of fun to be had trawling through the tables. We had time to look at most of it and came to the conclusion that Byron Shire Council is pretty average, despite the lamentations of various worthy burghers. Our council is in Group 4 which provides easy comparison with Ballina Shire in the same group. Our council’s worst offences are in time taken to determine development applications and legal expenses as a percentage of planning and development costs, though, as we have said before, the figures do not reflect the complexity of the DAs determined nor the community’s determination to protect its natural environment (or the litigious nature of individual developers). In 04/05 Byron took on average 85.23 days to process a DA, compared to Ballina’s 41.36 – and compared to Strathfield’s 119 and Glen Innes’s 0.28 (!). In 02/03 Byron was taking 94.1 days, compared to Ballina’s 32.07. Our legal expenses for 04/05 came in at 11.03% of total planning and development costs compared to Ballina’s 7.89%. Mind you, they have come down from 22.58% in 02/03, which is an excellent improvement. To add a little more perspective, Byron saw a 12.3% increase in number of DAs determined from 02/03 to 04/05 (646 to 730) compared to Ballina’s fall from 1,128 to 1,119. Our full time staff (244) is higher than Ballina’s (216) and that represents an increase of 3.8% since 02/03 – the Group 4 average increase in staff over that time is 8.1%. The effect of reasonable planning controls – at least until Council abandoned all scrutiny of holiday lets – might be seen in the population density indicator, based on number of people per size of local government area. Byron weighs in at 54.2, on par with the Blue Mountains (53.8) and considerably less than Ballina’s 81.6, not to mention Camden’s new medium density development madness at 249.9. For this relief, much thanks.

hen I was a child and dinosaurs still roamed the earth, Australia’s churches launched a campaign against paganism, consumerism and materialism under the catchy title: Put the Christ Back in Christmas. As the last fortnight has clearly demonstrated, it flopped; 2006 was apparently the most commercially successful festive season ever, with records set in spending, kitsch and general vulgarity. But not one whit abashed, the godbotherers have returned to the fray with a project which is at once more ambitious and more devious: Put Christianity Back in Politics. And one must report with a sense of apprehensive dread that the leaders from both sides appear to be responding with enthusiasm. Interestingly, they now both profess a similar take on the dogma, although they have come to it from opposite directions. John Howard approached Anglicanism from the depths of low church Methodism, while Kevin Rudd descended from the heights of Roman Catholicism. Thus they now both espouse middle-of-the-road religion, in keeping with their middle-of-the-road politics. But that’s as far as the convergence goes. For Howard and his supporters, God is a rock-solid conservative, sternly upholding the rights of the individual and willing only to help those that help themselves. His compassion is limited to the righteous and he is a strict moral policeman, particularly tough on those who advocate any form of abortion. Needless to say, he is invariably on the side of the Coalition.

Rudd, however, indignantly rejects the notion that God is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Liberal Party. His God is more of a social democrat, caring and inclusive for all and especially concerned about the poor and underprivileged. He is certainly not obsessive about narrowly-defined moral issues, although he would wag a disapproving finger at therapeutic cell cloning. And although he sympathises with the ideals of the left, he is not totally committed, seeing good on all sides -- some-

dragon? Do they genuinely maintain that a man called Jesus turned water into wine, fed five thousand, cured the lame and raised the dead? Have they not even a smidgin of the doubt that the same man himself rose from the dead and ascended into heaven, and is now sitting on the right hand of God until it is time to return and judge the living and dead? And do they live every moment of their lives on the basis of these preposterous assumptions? At least we know the answer to the last one: it is an

No working politician could ever come close to the literal Christian ideal, let alone one who aspired to the top. by Mungo MacCallum thing of a swinging voter. While the leaders themselves seem to have spent most of the holiday season at the cricket, their supporters have been diligently thumbing through the Bible (both Old and New Testaments) in a search for evidence to back up their position, and, the Bible being the multiauthored mish-mash that it is, both parties have already announced victory. God must be feeling very confused. But it would be a most interesting exercise to sit down with each of Howard and Rudd and interrogate them (catechise, I believe, is the technical term) on exactly what it is that they believe. Do they seriously accept the virgin birth, the only scientifically confirmed instance of which involves not a Jewish woman, but a komodo

emphatic negative. No working politician could ever come close to the literal Christian ideal, let alone one who aspired to the top. At best, Howard, Rudd and their fellow travellers in parliament are engaged in a kind of double-think by which they try, for most of the time anyway, to follow broadly Christian principles (or what they consider for their own purposes to be broadly Christian principles) and hope that this will be enough to keep a place for them in both heaven and the House of Representatives. I suspect that their real creed is not that laid down at Nicea in the 4th century, but that of a 20th century British MP, who confessed his faith with the immortal words: ‘Mr Speaker, we all believe in a sort of a something.’ Well, actually we don’t:

many of us have outgrown the need for a comfort blanket. The existence of a just and merciful interventionist god was conclusively disproved the first time a child died in pain, and no amount of sophistry can change that. It follows that if there is any kind of superhuman power it must be either wilfully capricious or sublimely disinterested, and in either case is better ignored. But the vast majority of the voters prefer to hang on to some form of nominal Christianity, so the wiser politicians do the same. Paris, as the Protestant Henri IV observed, is well worth a Mass; and, as the agnostic Gough Whitlam confirmed, The Lodge is well worth the occasional appearance at church. But there is a danger in all this, which is that although we like our politicians to be believers, we do not like them too pious; we are certainly not ready for the American idea of so-called born-again Christians taking over the government. Arguably Tony Abbott, the Mad Monk, has already cruelled his chances at the top job by being too confronting (albeit in a tricky and often hypocritical manner) with his own religiosity. Both Howard and Rudd have so far been sensibly lowkey about their Christianity, but some of their more excitable barrackers, especially in the Murdoch press, have been urging them to start a crusade. As both Howard and Rudd have advised in another context, the zealots need to take a cold shower. Howard has already forecast that the next election may develop into the battle of the nerds, which is depressing enough. But it would be a lot better than a holy war.

Fiddle no more Over recent decades politicians have ridiculed those scientists who spoke out about man-made global warming. How easy it was for them to claim that there was insufficient proof. For those with their eyes and mind wide open, the signals were clear going back to the mid 20th century. The shrinking of glaciers, the thinning of the Arctic ice cap, the negative changes in plant cycles and animal survival behaviour, changing weather patterns, increased air pollution, the bleaching of our magnificent coral reef etc, were sufficient to suggest that the claims by the scientists were well founded and should be taken very seriously. Yet with little support and much obstruction from big business, prove it they have. Australia’s extended dry period and the irregular weather patterns around the

New ways of doing business I take up the PM’s invitation to join the political debate on nuclear policy, and suggest that questions of morality and economic logic are particularly relevant. The human species located on planet Earth is very clever with technology but extremely primitive in its capacity to relate to each other and take care of Creation. Its priorities in essence are morally corrupt with the prime emphasis on short term profit, based in fear, greed or power. Centuries of giving rein to those tendencies have destroyed countless species, and may very soon do the same to humanity and Earth itself. With the best will in the world, could those with pro-nuclear interests say that economic bias does not affect objectivity? Mankind cannot

afford the slightest risk of a nuclear accident or war which may tip the balance. Is it not a spiritual or moral violation of the highest order to persist with nuclear? My role in the gold industry around Kalgoorlie has taught me that individuals and small businesses are very innovative and quick to capitalise on new technologies, as opposed to large organisations. Will the Howard government remove all economic and regulatory impediments to the blossoming of alternate technologies? For most of the knowledge already exists to turn the energy crisis and environment around.

world were predicted to eventuate if we continued to heavily pollute our sensitive atmosphere. This is not simply a drought as we have experienced before, this is not a natural cyclic cosmic event, this is a predictable global warming outcome resulting from man-made activities, all of it occurring over a relatively short period of time. The average atmospheric temperature rise has been gathering momentum slowly during the major part of the 20th century, with rapid exponential temperature rise during the 1990s and beyond. The acceleration of extreme weather patterns will continue and what we experience now will be dwarfed by that yet to come. Further, these changes will be irreversible, resulting in significant changes to the way we live. In Australia, we can act quickly by introducing many large and numerous solar plants, and wind power generators (where appropriate) which can efficiently service rural towns and industry. Overall, this will reduce power demand from centralised coal-fired stations, support decentralisation, and generate mass employment in the process. Politicians must remove their heads from the sand, and fiddle no more with our future, and the future of generations to come.

Preschool scandal You may have read in the newspapers of a recent survey showing that NSW has the most expensive preschools in Australia and they do not meet demands by a long shot. How sad it is that the premier state is rapidly dropping from its premier perch. This survey dovetails from a news item in the Sydney Morning Herald in September last year that Eddy Groves of ABC Learning, at age 40, is worth $260 million. Clearly there is money to be made in childcare. But how can that be when so many preschool centres run by parents in the Northern Rivers are struggling financially? The answer is that ABC conducts its centres in wealthier areas where double income families can afford high fees. Additionally much of Eddy’s income comes from government subsidies. Clearly the preschool system is broke and needs fixing. It is a system that discriminates against children

to centres that are milch cows for business. We should be looking at the obvious consequences of providing essential services on a massive scale by the private sector. It’s a win/lose situation. The private company wins and the community loses. The Greens believe that all children should have access to free, public, high quality preschool and that funding should be specifically targeted to that aim. We also believe that teachers need to have appropriate qualifications and receive significantly increased remuneration and status within their profession.

The front page of last week’s Echo reads like a police report. Is this what NYE celebration in our uptight little town has come to? It struck me that having a ‘Safety Committee’ organise NYE is like consulting a priest about sex. There is something inherently wild about New Years Eve. It’s one night of the year when we unleash the Dionysian spirit, over-indulge in recreational drugs and stay up all night. (In the distant past, long before seat-belts, some of us may have even risked unprotected sex!) It’s like a big Green Condom has been stretched over Byron Shire. Conserving nature, Greens are by nature conservative. Their first impulse is to say No! So any change, even for the better, is like wading through molasses. ‘No’ to tourism has had a devastating impact on the Byron Bay CBD over the past two years. Retailing is 40% down. A Green Grinch stole Christmas, and tens of millions of dollars have been drained from our commu-

from cities. This would give a great economic boost to the nation. It requires courage to release control and welcome unpredictable evolution. Centralised regulation and favouring large traditional suppliers of energy is not helpful. Understandably they would like to continue dominance and control certain technologies but some have been detrimental to progress, and even deliberately retarded new initiative. Should gover nment encourage energy diversity and free enterprise to do its thing? To be competitive and John Bailey diverse?

Soul searching As we enter 2007, even the most committed party faithful must be asking themselves a few questions, even if they can’t bring themselves to do any soul searching, surely. Not only about where we are, but how we got here. Maybe they’ve thought about our political commitment to the Iraq war being way over and above our military contribution. And rather than making the world a safer place it has achieved the opposite, none more so than in Iraq itself. How come? Is this really OK with the majority of us? Seems so. Or, after ‘mission accomplished’ was announced, the military is still in combat today. Where is the rebuilding Iraq plan? ‘Cut and run’ has been used as a recipe for civil war in Iraq and more terror-

ism threats – firstly, most thinking people see civil war already happening, secondly terrorism has been a ‘threat’ since pre World War 1, so why do politicians now want to change and introduce so many (anti-terrorism) laws to maintain ‘Australian values’? And surely the ‘David Hicks terrorist threat’ (yeah, it was dumb, but Guantanamo prison?) has had its political use-by date. God help David Hicks in his recovery and those who disgustingly misused his life and held him without trial for five years, for what purpose do you think? And our leaders allowed the US to attempt to have his trial held without his presence, using hearsay and testimony obtained under ‘coercion’ (imagine what that means), without basic Geneva Convention protection. Even the UK announced that his reasonable time in detention expired two years ago – not enough of us here seem to give a damn, though. The US (therefore Australia) has suffered damage to its reputation and the trustworthiness of its security and intelligence processes due to this war (despite assertions to the contrary) – not a preferred outcome, surely. So what is it that our government has been so loyal to, to achieve what and for whom? The Australian government has presented such a committed front, and has been such a faithful foot soldier to such a historic mistake in Iraq, although some companies have picked up ‘new business’ from this invasion activity and are more than happy for the massive profits they have and will make from this. But mostly, who would have

thought it would be us, the Australian people, that would let this continue? Who would have thought continued barefaced lies and manipulation by politicians right up to the top would be tolerated? But it has been. However, if ‘acting on information given at the time’ is what should be done, perhaps it’s time we do just that. It doesn’t matter what colour or creed you are, being an activist for a more prosperous, stronger more united, safer, more tolerant, more loving community with amazing dreams, is preferable, even desirable isn’t it?You can’t put laws in place to achieve this, it has to come from the heart – yours and mine, one step at a time, with every action, every

day. There’s more people who’d like to see this… isn’t there? And that’s the key isn’t it, our ‘intention’ is the powerhouse of change, whether for unity or division.

Ocean Shores ■ Drinking in public, no matter your age, though it may not yet be ‘un-Australian’, certainly in many of our books is simply unacceptable. Drinking enough alcohol to make you lose control of your inhibitions, to the point of being violent, is absolutely unacceptable, immature, and usually illegal. We have police to enforce laws and keep order. When

police decide not to enforce laws against drunk and disorderly conduct in public, when police decide that threatening conduct and assaults by intoxicated persons of any age are merely ‘a civil matter’, they not only offend the dictionary meaning of the word ‘civil’. They completely ignore police powers under our laws. So much public money is spent in failed efforts in the ‘war on drugs’, and so many innocent people must suffer intrusions on our personal privacy by police helicopters in this regard. Yet virtually none of the alcohol excise tax finds its way to curing alcoholism or educating young people that alcohol is every bit a dangerous drug, despite

The silly season turns sour with added alcohol For the Brunswick Heads community, 2007 has begun much the same as last year. Our roads clogged with carloads of holidaymakers eager for a well-earned break. Our parks full of young people, drunk and volatile, oscillating between joyful celebration and mindless thuggery. Hopefully next year, with the Pacific Highway upgrade and new bridge completed our traffic problems will dramatically improve. Unfortunately, it won’t be so easy to reconcile our community’s love affair with alcohol. Every year, during the silly season, there is drunken brawling in our foreshore parklands at night. It’s an unpleasant tradition but we’ve come to accept a certain amount of biffo among young men tanked up on alcohol, disrupting the festivities. Just as we tolerate teenagers’ frenetic binge drinking from Schoolies right

through Christmas. In our community, virtually every social event is awash with alcohol. Getting pissed and the associated bad behaviour has been normalised and tolerated since colonisation and we are sadly reaping what we have sown. The big difference this year is it wasn’t 20 or 30 boofheads playing up, but 200 partying teenagers who lingered on the bridge on December 20. Drunk and defiant, and having a good time, many simply refused to go home when asked by the two local policemen on duty. The situation escalated when the pub closed – which is inevitably the black hour in Brunswick. The 24 hours service station is the only place open, and usually wears the flak with drunken crowds lingering way past midnight. Over the past decade the community has implemented a range of strategies to minimize the harm created by the

excessive consumption of alcohol. The Fish & Chips festival was once festooned with sponsorship banners promoting alcohol which was sold right in the park, from the old blue van. A takeaway grog stall was set up on the footpath outside the hotel and the old Housie Shed was full of boozy blokes for most of summer. The young bucks would bellow and brawl through the night on the adjacent hill, with rival gangs turning the MullumbimbiPark Street intersection into a war zone. Things have changed, but the problem remains. We’ve tried to inform and educate young people, drinkers and hotel staff, and even legislated to ensure the responsible service of alcohol. But patrons continue to guzzle unhealthy amounts of grog and troublemakers are ejected and left on the street. On big nights the Hotel

and Bowling Club provide buses to quickly and safely move patrons out of town but not everyone leaves so peacefully. We’ve tried banning alcohol in the parks and increased the police presence to enforce the rules and punish miscreants. But drinking continues, shifting to new locations around South Beach and Torakina, creating a new danger zone which erupted into senseless violence on New Years Eve. Underage drinkers find ready suppliers and plenty of places to hide out, playing cat and mouse with police and parents. Entertainment is provided, but there’s a reluctance to cater for young teenagers because they’re often an unruly crowd. Inevitably the community will review these strategies and try to work out what went wrong this year and discuss new ways to manage this old, intractable and

widespread problem of public drunkenness. There are always extenuating circumstances but on December 20 and again on New Years Eve, our kids overstepped the boundary of acceptable behaviour and they need to be brought back into line. Some will face police action, many will endure parental disapproval and punishment. Others will face the wrath of community outrage, and find themselves vilified in sensationalised media beatups. Somehow we need to keep reiterating the message, alcohol is not a good tonic for our children or our community. It may be sobering to learn it probably cost the community over $10,000 to employ the police to babysit our children on December 20. Our kids must have spent more than $2,000 at local liquor outlets on booze in just one night. We incur the cost of property damage to homes,

business premises and public places and pay to clean up the broken glass, cans and garbage strewn around town. We pay for the ambulances and medical services to repair the injured. We suffer immeasurable pain and grief from road accidents and other avoidable deaths. We cannot afford to let our kids recklessly binge on alcohol, as it is simply too lethal and destructive. We must find new ways to disarm our society and transform our culture so alcohol is no longer a celebrated adjunct on every occasion. It’s time to reassess our values, our priorities and our options. We clearly need to dedicate more time and resources to help our kids navigate and survive the harrowing trip through adolescence, so we can all have a happy Christmas and a safe, funfilled New Year.

its ready legal availability, and that too much alcohol leads to unacceptable public misbehaviour and serious health problems. It is great that Byron Council has banned alcohol from Byron’s streets, and that Lennox too has done so. But we need the cooperation of police with common sense, so that even if there appears to be a conflict of laws between the Council ban of alcohol and whether it applies to a parcel owned by the Lands Department, it might be good to ‘accost’ intoxicated persons on such parcel and to move them on and break up the potentially restless mob that later exploded into deplorable violence. Getting drunk in public is not a civil matter, it is criminal and offensive. Underage drinking is criminal, and those responsible for the reprehensible conduct in Bruns need to be brought to justice,

Perhaps none of the above issues was as relevant as the widely discussed brothel, yet not a single local person dares to discuss – and hence to defend children from – rampant, soul destroying, child sex abuse, the ubiquitous crime that leaves not a shred of evidence, and which eventually produces the much talked about adult prostitutes.

This process has a very bad record of gross pollution of rivers and aquifers at all existing mines (eg five trillion litres of liquid tailings have leaked from Roxby Downs alone).

These two criteria alone should be enough to curtail further mining if rationality and not rampant greed was the basis for the decision. Where does the ALP stand on this?

Of God, religion, belief and reason ■David Lovejoy has written a thought-provoking piece (‘Free, free, dear God, free at last!’ Echo, January 2). The tsunami of letters in reply to the piece will be no surprise given that 90% of people believe in God (defined as some Totally Other reality) according to the Encyclopaedia Britannica. Swiss theologian Hans Kung says that without the Totally Other, life has no purpose beyond self-preservation. And there is no justice, the murderer ultimately triumphing over the innocent victim.

The idea of an all-seeing God who rewards good and punishes evil is as old as human history. Those of us who subscribe to the idea may in the end be disappointed, condemned to eternal nothingness beyond the grave, our grand ideas consumed by worms, with nothing but the abyss to reconcile our good and bad deeds, and never knowing about our delusional lives. But I cannot accept David Lovejoy’s proposition that atheism is somehow rational while religious belief is not.

In a recent lecture in Germany, Pope Benedict XVI caused a furore when he suggested violent Islam was out of step with religious thought and belief. The pope was making the point that faith must be rational while violence of any kind is irrational and inconsistent with religious practice.What the pope might have added for clarification is that the many calls to arms in both the Koran and the Bible need to be read in the context in which they are written. All religion and all con-

cepts of the Totally Other may be a myth, but so long as religious practice causes people to behave rationally and act according to the good neighbour principle, it causes no harm. To act any other way in the name of religion is hypocritical in the extreme. The objectionable thing about religion is generally its practitioners, not the notion of religion itself. Mahatma Gandhi said he had no problem with Christianity other than the Christians he knew. I would like to see the evidence for the idea that atheism is rational while religious belief is not. Arthur Clarke observed that either we are alone in the universe or we are not and both propositions are mind-boggling. Or, to paraphrase David Lovejoy, the wonders of the universe provoke awe and humility whether or not God exists. The imperatives for all of us are to recognise on some level that we may be wrong, to realise others have their rights, freedoms and beliefs, and otherwise to avoid imperatives.

thought is like a person, blind from birth, speaking on the subtleties of sunsets. They are precluded from such observations by the very limitations of their discipline, not to mention the entrenched position from which they observe. A closed mind always reveals itself. Religion, with all its shortcomings, is an attempt to describe the indescribable and our relationship with it. We obviously still have a way to go. Science is the bricks and mortar, nuts and bolts attempt to describe the describable. Darwin speaks of the process of evolution without the meaning. I fear David has jettisoned one orthodoxy for another. Jim Nutter

â– David Lovejoy is to be congratulated on his article. It takes great courage to make a public statement on such an emotive subject when you are a well-known personality in a small country town. I am sure that your honest confession will draw plenty of flak. From me you will only have accolades. Religions have preached the good and practised the bad. Persecutions, genocides, dislocations of entire populations, all in the name of a god. Bravo David Lovejoy!

■A heartfelt congratulations to David Lovejoy for his succinct article on the destructiveness of formal religion, and to The Echo for printing it! I would take this one giant step further by saying that not only is religion destructive and divisive, it is counter-evolutionary. It puts the focus of living outside of one’s being, forces us to give away our power, and conscripts humans to pagan and primitive practices instead of blessing us with the ability to look inside and discover who we truly are. As Socrates advocated, ‘Know thyself.’ If humans took the time to do this, we would all realise that God is within, and we are all the sons and daughters of any and every Lord we choose. We are all the chosen people! With great love,

■As one who long ago traded my belief system for a working hypothesis I feel I must disagree with David Lovejoy’s proposition that atheism is ‘the default position from which only some very dubious intellectual rationalisation allows escape’. Despite what your favourite dictionary might say, I grew up with a view that there is a significant distance between agnosticism and atheism. Agnosticism is the default position. Atheism is just another belief system with as dangerous implications for its adherents (and us) as any other fundamentalist attitude. It is intellectual perdition inspired by scientific hubris. For an atheist/scientist like Richard Dawkins or Robin Williams to speak on the origins of religious feeling and

â– David Lovejoy could consider that it is not religion that is a problem, but that religion appears to become a problem when it is interpreted by people lacking personal growth. Consider the case of our own prime minister who represents a primarily Christianbased society and yet comments that the execution of Saddam Hussein somehow shows growth in the Iraqi people, even as his own nation rejects capital punishment. The personal growth of nations can at least partially be measured on the amount of compassion and mercy they show those who trespass against them. It is obviously not the fault of Jesus Christ or his philosophy that John Howard does not understand that.

■Thank you to David Lovejoy for writing such a review of Richard Dawkin’s (RD) book The God Delusion (TGD). It is a truly uplifting and personal account and I was delighted with it. RD says that Douglas Adams may be his only success on the road to persuade reason over belief. We can now add the final, last step of David Lovejoy’s. And the list is increasing exponentially. I, for one, am more hopeful that reason will prevail. And David is right, atheists tend to live and let live (and don’t often bother coming out of the closet). That the baton has been picked up by some one like RD with his huge public profile is what is giving me hope. The Rational Response Squad with their Blasphemy Challenge is terrific for recovering Christians. Paul Davies and his Goldilocks Enigma is also published. Brian Flemming and The God Who Wasn’t There is a good DVD. The series Beyond Belief has some 15 hours of seminar material with speakers who stand out in their fields (including RD, VS Ramachandran, Steven Weinberg and Sam Harris). Koestler started me off in 1970 with The Ghost in The Machine. More than a decade later I read RD’s The Selfish Gene and then everything this evolutionary biologist has written since. He is an inspiring and lucid communicator of science in the public arena. I have been led to sites of the religious right in the US commonly called the American Taliban. There are some truly horrific quotes from members of this group that comprises, according to one survey, 12.6% of voting Americans. They wield a lot of power with the Bush administration because they are so immensely wealthy with their tithing system that is tax-free. The BBC’s program The Doomsday Code, presented by Tony Robinson, tracks back the beliefs that the Endtimers, as they are called, adhere to so aggressively. Maybe RD is correct in saying that we atheists should all stand up and be counted. It won’t do you much good if you want to enter public political life however. Check out www.richarddawkins.net. A lot of material is posted there and there are forums for comments. The site will lead you to lots of others. TGD is one of those books that can change the way you think and may galvanise action to promote reason as a means of knowing the world.

Catherine Perversi When I was much younger, I thought hospice work was the domain of elderly women. Then I grew up. That said, who are we at Amitayus Hospice Service? I guess you could say we’re a cross-section of you out there. Mums and dads, builders, secretaries, health care professionals, computer geeks, massage therapists and visual and performing artists. Ordinary people, with a common interest in humanity and the processes of death and dying. A frequent misconception is that the work

we do is morbid or even perverse as my name might suggest. I’m drawn to caring work because, like most, I’ve known suffering, have grown through it, and have developed the ability to identify with and understand people’s vulnerabilities. The reward for me at the end of the day is incalculable. Eighty-one year old Netta (pictured) contacted us a few months ago for help at home after being diagnosed with a life threatening illness. Today she’s living at Feros with greatly improved health. This she attributes to the love and support she’s

received from her family and the carers from Amitayus. Since we’re a not-for-profit organisation, we rely on a fundraiser every now and then to meet our running costs. This brings me to the raffle. Thanks to the Beach Hotel, our major sponsor, the first prize in our fundraiser is a return trip for two people to Thailand, including seven days accommodation. How good is that! If you’d like a ticket or think you could sell a book full, call me on 0431 600 138. In the meantime, check out our new website at www. amitayus.org.au.

Leaf harvesters needed for koalas Koalas’ highly specialised dietary requirements become even more pronounced when they are sick. Several species of eucalyptus leaves need to be harvested daily. Koalas eat about half a kilo of gum leaves each day, though they require at least five times that to pick from. Leaf harvesting for koalas in care is a daily task which requires knowledge and dedication. Koalas generally prefer a small number of eucalypt species from the range available. Typically they do not eat all these types throughout the year. Seasonal issues play a major role and so do individual preferences. Friends of the Koala presently has 21 koalas in care, four of which are at the Koala Care Centre in East Lismore. President Lorraine Vass says, ‘Quality leaf provision is probably the most important aspect of successfully rehabilitating koalas for release back into the wild. ‘It needs considerable liaison between the carer and leaf harvester.

Where words are met with bullets, reporters die International lobby group Reporters Without Borders (www.rsf.org/content.php3) says last year was the deadliest year for journalists since 1994: At least 81 journalists were killed in 2006 in 21 countries while doing their job or for expressing their opinion, the highest annual toll since 1994, when 103 died (half of them in the Rwanda genocide, about 20 in the Algerian civil war and a dozen in former Yugoslavia). Thirtytwo media assistants (fixers, drivers, translators, technicians, security staff) were also killed in 2006 (only five in 2005). Iraq was the world’s most dangerous country for the media for the fourth year running, with 64 journalists and media assistants killed. Since fighting began in 2003, 139 journalists have been killed there, more than twice the number in the 20-year Vietnam War (63 killed between 1955 and 1975). About 90% of the victims were Iraqis. Investigations were very rare and none were completed. Unlike other organisations, Reporters Without Borders includes journalists in its death count only when it is certain that their deaths

are linked to their work as journalists. Dozens of other cases have not been included because investigators have not yet determined the motives or because it is clear that they were not related to the issue of press freedom. The second most dangerous country was Mexico, which also moved ahead of Colombia as Latin America’s deadliest place for the media. Nine journalists were killed there in 2006 because they were investigating drug traf-

ficking or reporting on violent social unrest. US cameraman Brad Will was shot dead in late October in turbulent Oaxaca state, where strikes often degenerated into armed clashes, and other journalists were injured there. The body of journalist Enrique Pera Quintanilla, editor of the monthly Dos Caras, una verdad, was found by a roadside in the northern state of Chihuahua in August. The paper specialised in reporting on unsolved murders and drug trafficking. The situation in The Philippines was grim too, with six journalists killed (compared with seven in 2005). Fernando Batul, a commentator with the radio station dyPR, was shot dead in late May as he was going to work on Palawan Island, southwest of Manila. The authorities said he was killed because he had criticised a brutal policeman, who was subsequently arrested and will shortly be tried. The March 2005 killers of anti-corruption columnist Marlene Esperat were jailed for life. But those punished were only triggermen and those who ordered the killings are still walking free. However, in a country where impunity is the rule, the trial and sentences were a good precedent. Three journalists were killed in Russia, making 21 since President Vladimir Putin came to power in March 2000. The murder in October of reporter Anna Politkovskaya, of the weekly Novaya Gazeta and a Chechnya expert, was a reminder that even the best-known journalists with major international support do not escape such deadly violence. Pressed by democratic countries to find and punish the culprits, the government has assigned a team of 150 detectives to the case.

Press freedom shrank further in neighbouring Turkmenistan, with the crackdown on independent media reaching a peak in September when the family of Radio Free Europe correspondent Ogulsapar Muradova announced she had died in prison, three months after being jailed. Despite repeated demands by the European Union, the authorities did not investigate her death. In Lebanon, a photographer and a TV technician were killed by Israeli bombing during the war with Israel. A dozen journalists were injured or wounded during the fighting in the summer.

Violent election clashes Over 1,400 physical attacks or threats were recorded by Reporters Without Borders in 2006, which was another record. Many of them were during election campaigns in various countries. Attacks on journalists in Bangladesh, already routine, became daily at the end of the year, a few weeks before key parliamentary elections, and were carried out by security forces and political party supporters. A dozen countries in the Americas held important national elections during the year. Reporters Without Borders had registered more than a dozen physical attacks on journalists and another dozen threats to them in Peru by early March, a month before presidential elections. In Brazil, a daily paper’s offices were ransacked on election day by supporters of a local politician in the southern town of Marilia. Supporters of the two main presidential candidates in the Democratic Republic of Congo – outgoing President Joseph Kabila and his rival Jean-Pierre Bemba – regu-

larly attacked journalists they accused of sympathising with the ‘enemy camp’. A visiting foreign reporter was deported in both Uganda and Ethiopia at election time. Belarus cracked down on journalists and regime opponents a few days after President Alexander Lukashenko’s reelection in March, and a dozen local and foreign reporters were physically attacked, including Olga Ulevich, Russian correspondent of the newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda, whose nose was broken when plainclothes police beat her up.

Censorship and arrests Cases of censorship were slightly down – 912 against 1,006 in 2005, when Nepal had the worst record. The ceasefire there in mid-2006 gave the media a break, with the release of imprisoned journalists and many local radio stations able to freely broadcast again. Thailand recorded the most cases of censorship. After a military coup in September, more than 300 community radio stations were shut down along with several Internet websites. Things returned to normal after a few weeks. It was impossible to get exact information on censorship in China, Burma and North Korea, countries where blanket measures were taken against the media, affecting dozens and even hundreds of outlets at the same time.

Internet control The Internet was tightly controlled in some countries. Reporters Without Borders issued a list in November of 13 ‘enemies of the Internet’ (Belarus, Burma, China, Cuba, Egypt, Iran, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Tunisia, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Vietnam). Bloggers and cyber-dissi-

dents in these countries were regularly thrown into prison for expressing their opinions online. Websites were closed down, made inaccessible or filtered and discussion forums had especially critical messages deleted. About 30 bloggers were arrested during the year and held for several weeks, notably in China, Iran and Syria. Egypt appeared for the first time on the ‘enemies of the Internet’ list for its growing crackdown on bloggers who criticised Islam or President Hosni Mubarak. At least 871 media workers were detained around the world in 2006, some for just a few hours and others sentenced to many years in prison. The jailing in China of Zhao Yan (for three years) and Ching Cheong (for five), both of them working for foreign media, drew strong international protests. The appeals against their sentences were not even heard by a court, depriving them of a chance to defend themselves. The death of Turkmenistan’s ‘President-forLife’ Separmurad Nyazov in December could end the repression of journalists and human rights activists. Two of them, Annakurban Amanklychev and Sapardurdy Khajiev, were given prison sentences of six and seven years in June for helping a foreign journalist doing a report on the country. Burma’s famous journalist and pro-democracy activist, Win Tin, began his 18th year in prison. He was awarded the 2006 Reporters Without Borders – Fondation de France prize for his fight for freedom of expression.

Journalists being kidnapped For the first time, Reporters Without Borders recorded in detail the number of journalists kidnapped around the world. At least 56 were kidnapped in 2006 in a dozen countries. The two riskiest places were Iraq, where 17 were seized, and the Gaza Strip, where six were kidnapped. All those seized in the Palestinian Territories were freed, but six in Iraq were executed by their captors. Reporters Without Borders met Iraqi President Jalal Talabani at the end of the year and urged him to put a stop to such incidents. A mission also went to Gaza to ask Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and leaders of the main Palestinian factions to see that their supporters and the general population did not interfere with media workers.

The Bureau of Meteorology reports that data indicate that Australia’s annual mean temperature for 2006 was 0.47°C above the standard 1961-1990 average, making it the eleventh warmest year since comparable temperature observations became available in 1910. Rainfall was well below normal in the southeast and far southwest, but close to normal when averaged over the whole country. ‘Despite record warm daytime temperatures in the drought-affected southeast, 2006 was cooler than the previous year when averaged across the whole country,’

notes the Bureau’s annual report. ‘This was largely due to a very active tropical wet season early in the year resulting in cooler temperatures through the north, and clear skies and low soil moisture associated with the drought resulting in cold overnight temperatures from April to July. ‘Temperature anomalies varied throughout the year but spring 2006 was particularly warm (+1.42°C), being Australia’s warmest spring season on record. ‘Australian annual mean temperatures have increased by approximately 0.9°C since 1910, consistent with a global

mean temperature increase of between 0.7°C and 0.8°C since 1900. According to a preliminary estimate released by the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) on 14 December 2006, the global mean temperature for 2006 was about 0.42°C above average, making it the sixth-warmest year globally since records commenced in 1861. ‘While there has been a consistent warming trend apparent in Australian temperatures, annual temperatures will continue to vary from year to year in association with factors such as the El Niño-Southern Oscillation. Consequently, it is not

suprising that the mean Australian temperature for 2006 was cooler than for 2005, the nation’s warmest year on record (1.06°C above normal). ‘The dominant cause of the drought experienced throughout southeast Australia in 2006 was the development of an El Niño in the tropical Pacific Ocean. ‘However, Australia has experienced marked rainfall trends over the last 50 years with declines over southern and eastern Australia and increases across the northwest. The pattern of rainfall during 2006 continued this trend.’

In hot water over emissions How to save CO2, and sometimes money Gayle Russell As the New Year greets us let us look at positive steps we can take to really cut greenhouse emissions. A simple answer to cut emissions is to instal solar hot water. It is really surprising to find that only 5% of households currently have solar hot water systems, particularly as the sun is so plentiful in this wide brown land of ours. Water heating represents 30% or more of a household’s electricity usage. This wouldn’t be a problem if our electricity was generated from non-coal, renewable sources such as wind, solar, tidal or geothermal. It has been estimated that even if half of Australian households converted to solar HWS it would cut greenhouse pollution by a whopping 14 million tonnes – the equivalent of taking four million small cars off the roads each year. Now that’s a real cool New Year’s resolution. The payback time for a solar HWS is around four years and there is a range of different systems to choose from – flat panel or evacuated tube split system that can be retrofitted to your existing tank, providing it isn’t more than six years old. There are simple and creative ways to get around poor roof orientation. The costs for the occasional use of a solar HWS booster could be a small as $1-$4 per quarter,

which is nothing compared to what you are currently paying for heating your water. If you rent, speak to your landlord, installing a new solar HWS would be a tax deduction for them. It is important to remind ourselves that much of the carbon dioxide – greenhouse pollution – released when our great-grandmothers stoked their coal-fuelled stoves in the aftermath of WW1 is still warming our planet today. And the coal and oil we are increasingly burning to provide us with electricity in our homes and

to fuel our cars will persist in the atmosphere for a long, long time. Make your New Year’s resolution to say Yes to renewable sources of hot water. For further information on how you can make a difference to reduce your ecological footprint and the impacts of Climate Change check out North Coast Climate Action Group’s website at www. nccag.org or visit them, upstairs in Santos, Mullum with BEC, on Wednesdays and Thursdays, 10am – 4pm, phone 6684 2272.

Records for Byron Bay in weather roundup Byron Bay, or at least the weather station at Cape Byron, scored a couple of records in the Bureau of Meteorology’s roundup of NSW weather for Spring last year. It had its warmest night on average of 16.5 degrees C measured at Cape Byron. The Cape also recorded its lowest Spring mean daily maximum temperature for at least 20 years at 22.6, and the record lowest Spring temperature of 2.3 on November 30 – ‘normal’ for Spring is 16.1 There are many more figures to peruse online at www. bom.gov.au/climate/current/ season/nsw/summary.shtml. The BoM notes, unsurprisingly, ‘It was a very dry Spring across most of the state in 2006. Only the north eastern corner of NSW was spared from the El Niño induced drought through spring. ‘Coastal areas of the Hunter and parts of the Northern Rivers were the only areas to receive above average Spring rainfall. In contrast large tracts of the south and west of the state recorded very much below

average Spring rainfall totals. Parts of the far northwest, southwest and central/southern slopes of the Great Divide received lowest on record Spring rainfall. ‘NSW received only 64.7mm of rain as a statewide average during Spring. This is well down on the historical Spring average for the state which is 130.5mm.’ As to temperature, ‘This was the second warmest spring on record for maximum temperatures, the warmest Spring was the El Niño drought year of 2002. Maximum temperatures were very much above average across the entire state apart from the far northeastern corner where average maximum temperatures prevailed. The statewide maximum temperature was 2.85ºC above the historical average of 24.3ºC. ‘Spring minimum temperatures were above average in the north and west of the state and below average near the Victorian border in the southeast of the state. Highest on record minimum temperatures were experienced in the far northwest

of the state. The statewide minimum temperature for Spring was 0.78ºC above the historical average of 10.3ºC. Statewide mean temperatures were also the second warmest on record behind the 2002 El Niño drought. The statewide mean temperatures were 1.81ºC above the historical average of 17.3ºC. ‘A strong feature of this spring was the large diurnal temperature range experienced across the state. The average diurnal temperature range for the state in Spring is 13.9ºC, this Spring the state experienced a range 2.1ºC higher, the second highest on record behind 1957. ‘As the drought continued, low soil and atmospheric moisture contents enabled the land surface to heat rapidly during the day and then cool quickly at night as heat radiated easily through clear dry night skies.’ Other phenomena included ‘an unseasonably late strong cold outbreak with associated snowfalls’ in November.

Robert Fox Scrutinising my electricity bill the other day, I decided to find out where all that power was going. Well, I looked at the lights, the fridge, the freezer, and turned them all off. Then I went outside and looked at the meter. Still spinning! And (timed by my pocket watch) showing a consumption at a rate of 90 watts. So I combed the house and shed, and what did I find but swarms of those big black cockroaches that feed on power points, those little cubical transformers that power small appliances, aka plug packs. Further, there were several other items drawing stand-by current such as the TV, VCR, DVD player and set-top box. I measured the current draw of all of them, and that’s where my 90 watts was going. Now 90 watts is nearly 800 kwhr per annum. That’s 800kg of CO2 into the air from power generation, and about $130 on my annual bill. So I searched the shed for extension cords and power boards, and fitted inline switches to the cords. Then I plugged all the leads associated with the TV into one board and connected it to the hard-to-reach wall outlet via a cord with the in-line switch in an accessible position. The same for all the plug packs and gear around the computer. I still have the cordless phones, the toothbrush, and the solar hot

water pump controller going all the time but I’ve saved more than half of all that wasted power. Even if I’d had to buy the bits and pieces, it would have paid off in a month or two. All with just a simple low-tech solution.

duces three to four times as much CO2 to produce the same amount of heat. The moral is that you should use gas, not electricity, for heating. And that includes water heating, despite the cheap off-peak power that is provided for that purpose. Of It’s a gas course, solar hot water is betNow something else most ter still. But not with an elecpeople don’t know. A 45kg tric booster. gas bottle produces a heat of combustion output of about Green electricity ‘Greenpower’ accredita2000MJ.

In fact, one thousand watts for one 100% accredited greenpower hour which is the same as obliges the supplier to buy 3.6MJ.) So 2000MJ equals the power from new renewable sources, not existing 550 kwhr. Buying that amount of renewable sources, as is the electricity costs about $95, case with, say, 50% or 10% so at around $100 per gas accredited greenpower.

Today I googled Dave Ades. I’ve known him for a long time so it was completely appropriate. Apparently he founded the Robert Farnon Society in England in 1956, he is the senior Vice President with 15 years in the financial services industry, is a lawyer born in Adelaide of Egyptian Jewish parents and he’s the author of a book on Conductors and Composers. These men are all Dave Ades, but none have the scope and breadth and majesty of talent the Ades I am googling for. Suddenly I find him, 10 googles later, the Byron Bay based saxaphone genius. Half man, half sax, alto playing Ades has a reputation for fiery full frontal sound.

Patricia Petersen – performing and co-ordinating the Vagina Monologues at the Byron Community Centre on Thursday and Friday, 11 & 12 January.

Dave is one of three jazz musicians who have got together and decided to create a weekly Byron jazz venue. Natalie Guy and Mitch Carey share Dave’s vision of creating a venue that’s ‘focal point is going to be the music. It’s not just an ambient thing. The focus of the attention is the music.’ The Blue Birdy at the Buddha Bar plans on bringing jazz to the people. Although jazz is a word that David uses with certain trepidation. ‘I hate music labels. Once you call it jazz it limits who comes. It’s so much broader and includes innovate cutting edge musicians like Greg Sheehan, Scott Tinkler and Julian Wilson. I really want to make the distinction in the club of presenting people who live here as well as travelling musicians. The calibre of musicians who play in the club whether they live here or not will be world class‌ this is not an amateur club.’ Six years back Dave Ades was a member of FATS, a Byron based jazz explosion that featured on ABC’s the Pulse, played all around the country, got rave reviews, but couldn’t get a gig in their own home town.

‘We dissolved into a sea of indifference,’ mused Ades, who intends this club to be an artistic antidote.

circumnavigate the prejudice and preconceptions of promoters and give audiences the benefit of the doubt. But there usually isn’t any doubt. Most of the time, the audience responds well to anything played well with honesty. The Cat Empire is a great example of that, they really stretch the listener.’ Ades has become a regular guest with the Cat Empire, joining them on stages all around the country, and most recently in the New York in front of 10,000 people. Ades commented on how a band like TCE can reach such a young demographic with their sophisticated jazz stylings. ‘They don’t know it’s jazz. It’s much more of a spirit. It involves spontaneity, it’s about playing from the heart and taking risks

and having musical intelligence, it requires a mastery of an instrument and most importantly it requires soul.’

he muses ‘I’d love to come up for it.’ Dave’s three piece: Peking Duck features two Cat members: Ollie McGill and Ryan Munroe.

The Blue Birdy launches on Wednesday 17 January and is going to be a weekly happening. Opening night features a smorgasboard style showcase of talent including Dave Ades (of course), Natalie Guy, Mitch Carey, Jim Kelly, Greg Lyons, Greg Sheehan, Leigh Carriage, Steve Russell, Matt Smith, Lisa Hunt, James Sherlock, Thierry Fosmale, Elliot Dalgliesh, Carl Dewhurst, James Muller and the best of the Australian Jazz Community. As we are sitting at the Poinciana chatting about the new club, Felix from the Cat Empire cruises by. Dave tells him about the new club, says would you like to come for the opening...

Dave’s hoping that the Blue Birdy will become the Byron Bay equivalent of Sydney’s Basement. As a dedicated and driven player, Mr Ades is committed to raising the creative bar to inspire a sophisticated and intelligent venue for discerning musicians and music lovers.

THE SOAPBOX : MANDY NOLAN

hating paris hilton WHAT EXACTLY IS PARIS HILTON? Why am I continually subjected to photos of this vacuous overpaid legume arriving and leaving various openings, parties and events? She stands for everything that shits me about the way young women are targeted by pop culture. Paris is famous because she is rich. She is famous because she is skinny. She is famous because she lives a fabulous life doing sweet fuckall. Paris Hilton is not carbon neutral. She is the glamazon for a generation who won’t stop consuming. In fact I’ve often wondered if that orange glow comes from days on the sun bed or the fact she’s punched a sunroof in the ozone with her binge shopping. She’s the ultimate Self-Interest Barbie with a constant stream of accessories that include interchangeable heads for best friends and dress up dogs. I mean, if you have started licking

the urine tray of your own dignity, why not start screwing with someone elses? When you find yourself dressing your pooch you know you have a problem. The woman does nothing. She smirks. What’s the point of expensive teeth whitening if you never show your teeth? She does that little girl thing where you put your head on the side and look down at the camera with that soft porn expression of a coquettish vixen in long white socks and mary-jane’s on her way to her next blow job. And what’s with the sunglasses? When you have an empty brain cavity it’s important to keep the sun from drying what’s left of your cerebral matter into a raisin. Little girls in big sunglasses. Giant heads. Tiny bodies. Shopping Bags

and Mobile Phones. Constant chatter on mobile telephones about, you guessed it: Nothing. Paris Hilton is the poster child for Nothing. The generation who did nothing and fucked their planet. And when they fucked the planet, they took a secret video and leaked it onto the internet. I look at women like that and wonder if they’ve ever had a thought that didn’t involve a credit card. She’s the kind of bimbo who’d go to Ethiopia and start giving fashion advice. Next time

you saw the Eurovision ad, all the starving Africans would be wearing giant sunnies and hanging out with Nicole Richie. It’s the ego out of control. John Singleton has just paid her $5 mill to launch his stupid beer. They’ve given her the key to Bondi. Maybe they should have given her something unusual and unique that she has never had before: like a book, or an original thought or perhaps they could have simulated a feeling like: compassion. Paris Hilton is evil. She must be destroyed. I urge fledgling feminist terrorists to seriously consider flying a plane into her. The giant glittering Hilton, falling to earth like a broken mirror ball, in a soundless slump. She’s not actually real. She’s CGI. And sadly, your attempt to destroy her would fail, because like the thousands that have come before you, you’re not the first to try and blow up a Hilton.

c i s u m e v i l A CHAT WITH JONATHON RUSSELL DECONSTRUCTING DANCING After the fourth colourful and eclectic party we catch up with Jonathon Russell, Promoter, Festival Director and local primary school teacher with a dream. So what is the Vision for Electric Sunshine Super Disco? ‘The vision is to get a more manageable name first! The idea is to make a really beautiful inclusive community event for Mullumbimby that celebrates the unique qualities of our town and our culture and brings them to a wider audience... I don’t want to be anywhere else it has all the right shapes, the right styles, the right moods. It makes

more sense as a promoter to live in a big town and access more people but this place has a unique feel you don’t find in many places. It melds the urbaneness of the city culture with the natural beauty and alternate inward peacefulness of the country. There is something about this place that makes this special.’ As the auteur of an organically home grown event, what are the challenges? ’Being a locally based grass roots independent promoter up against the machine of corporate style festival events. The festival industry has gone up a notch – there’s the temptation for events to become corporatised and unsupportive of original events.’

Jonathon is content to focus on the positive aspects ‘The beautiful legacies of the event is that there are 200 gorgeous native trees in the ground out there – 12 or 1300 people who said they had the best day of their lives and we raised money for Uncle and tourists that came got to see some really authentic culture.’ Will we expect another event next year? ’At the moment its not financially viable but I am looking for ways to keep giving this great event to Mullumbimby.’ IF YOU WANT TO SUBMIT ANY FEEDBACK OR PHOTOS: rockhardson@bigpond.co

ACCESS THE EXCESS OF EXODUS It’s been a long and exciting buildup. Everyone I know is going to Exodus. Except me. I have to stay here and work while all you hard core party heads have a great time. Don’t worry about me, I’m fine. I’m happy that you are having a good time. I want you to have the time of your lives. I challenge you to dance for 24 hours straight. Alright, maybe that’s tough. What about 24 hours bent? Order a coffee in the chai tent, accept foot massage from strangers, find a percussive instrument and push on stage in a drum fest. Exodus is the place where all your organic dreams come true.’ Top percussionist and mbiraplayer Yeshe has graced local, national and international stages performing his own grooving music as well as with Harry Manx, Ganga Giri and Panjea. For his Exodus debut Yeshe will be joined by DJ Adham Shaikh plus some surprise musical pals and percussionists from the vast lineup. Deya Dova is a singer, innovator and creator of sound and groove with a luminous stage presence, and mind-blowing vocals. She’s a soloist and a band, all in one. Plus two DJ sets as Sean Candy in the Super Freaky Kinky Dome on Friday and Saturday night. Pack your tent, your hat, your gum boots and your lust for life. You’ll be moving like Moses, proving that a man really can dance in sandals. Friday until Sunday at Bald Rock in Tenterfield.

DANCING WITH THE MOTHER In his BBC documentary Bob Geldof described Africa as the cradle of civilisation. We have a deep connection and perhaps it’s through music and dance that we can make contact with our more ancient selves. Cheze has long been an advocate, performer and promoter of some of the best African dance and music events in the area. This Saturday she presents African Explosion at Kohinur Hall at 8pm. The event features 4 brilliant African musicians and master dancers from Senegal, Lamine Sonko, Pape M’baye Master drummer

from Senegal, King Bell from Congo and Valanga Khoza from South Africa. The event also includes a performance by the students who have attended the 6 day camp intensive.

FIRST STAR I SEE TONIGHT The Black Stars kick off their first gig of the year with a blast on home ground at the Hotel Great Northern on Thursday. This gig marks the beginning of another busy year for the aforementioned Stars. Reflecting on the events that unfolded after the release of their self-titled EP in April, the band immediately began to see stirrings in the industry which led to a string of great reviews and then airplay across the country. Four out of the five songs gained Triple J play along with airplay at major community stations from 3RRR in Melbourne to 4ZZZ in Brisbane. The band also released two music videos for the EP, with the clip for Wasted In Numbers making the top five finalists in the prestigious MusicOz awards. Catch the Stars on Thursday, suppported by Black Ghost Party of Lismore, who have themselves begun to turn a few heads between the Northern NSW and Brisbane with their own eclectic sound somewhat reminiscent of Pixies and the late, great Mclusky. And while you’re fossicking through that wardrobe say No to the Wham inspired Say Yes to Life shirt and dig out your power blacks. Doors open at 9pm and entry is free.

OVER THE MOON It’s 20 years since the band was formed, but Kangaroo Moon are as alive and hopping as ever. After a mere whiff of the band early in ‘06, they have returned to give Northern Rivers friends and fans a rare opportunity to gyrate to an old favourite. Kangaroo Moon’s music weaves many strands from world, rock, folk and dance, brimming over with both acoustic and electronic influences. It all combines to create a funky, trance-y, richly melodic and danceable sound. January ‘07 sees a rare convergence of the UK and Aussie lineups for 1 show only outside of the Woodford Folk Festival. Mark Robson (keyboards, vocals, whistles & didge), Mat Ledgar (Drums), Maurice Cernigoi (bass), and Steve Berry (guitar) will be joined by long time UK fiddler Elliet Mackrell. Performing at the Coorabell Hall on Friday. Tickets $16/14 at the door. 8pm.

THE GOOD GIRI Ganga Giri is well known for his ensemble which mixes pumping, percussive Didjeridu with fat tribal beats, and funky dub bass lines with world percussion sounds to create a unique tribal-technological deep earth dance experience. Their sound is both explosive and pulsating, ambient and flowing. The hit of Woodford, Ganga returns to Byron with his throbbing beats. Ganga Giri & Collective features Gumaroy on vocals and two of the best Aboriginal dancers in the country. There are also live DJ sets by Adham Shaikh and AB/Sean Candy. The

Petersen has done in the form of her play – Victory – a black comedy about a child-like wife, an impotent husband and a very nasty man from the government. Petersen’s experience of lecturing in politics and a stint as a senior policy advisor for the Victorian Education Department, not to mention her black belt in karate

Jan Baldwin presents her powerful play: Woman, supporting the Vagina Monologues. This is the first play ever written by Jan Baldwin. The play explores what it means to be a woman. Three woman take the audience on a deeply moving, and often funny personal journey through their individual outlook and experience of choice (or no choice) of motherhood. Inspired by women’s stories of pain, joy, disappointment

has the ability to fly via gravitation boots and the story of a Moroccan teenage heavy metal fan who feels his talents as a drummer are under-appreciated. Just $10/12 every night from 8pm. Full festival pass just $30. Tickets at Barebones, All Music and Vision.

ART GRAB YOURSELF A PAINTING I have quite a collection of paintings by local artists at home and I have to say it fills me with pleasure! Why not treat yourself and do something for your local community at the same time by purchasing any one of the extraordinary works available at the Urban in Bangalow: proceeds go to the Buttery. Work available until 30 January.

PRIZE IN THE PAN The much anticipated PAN Byron Bay Art Prize 2007 exhibition will open with a celebratory event and reception for artists and their friends. The exhibition runs through January 21 and will be open daily from 10am - 4pm. PAN has held summer show events in this space in prior years but this year

and confusion, the play is a highly contemporary examination of post-feminist womanhood and the complex nature of women’s choice in 21st century living. Starring three wonderfully talented local actors – Trinity Ward, Kimberley Davenport and Tessa Hoffman, the play is a definite ‘must see’ for women of all ages. Thursday and Friday at the Byron Bay Community Centre.

HER VICTORY It is not every day that you run up against Health Minister Tony Abbott in a federal election, so when you lose, you may as well make the most of the experience. That’s exactly what Dr Patricia

spurred her to take on the big boys, challenging Mr Abbott’s seat of Warringah as an independent in the 2003 election. The whole idea of the play is that the government is constantly peering at what we do. And when they aren’t watching we act as though they might be. Question and answer sessions will follow the nightly performances of Victory. Petersen will discuss the nature of the play, her subsequent arrest and her court victory. Victory will season at the Byron Bay Community and Cultural Centre from Sunday 14th to Friday 19 January, 7pm, $27.20/$17.20

and Paul Livingston (aka Flacco) have developed a strong rapport and commonly perform together as Flacco and the Sandman, both on TV and live on tour. The three comics come together to perform at the Ballina RSL on Saturday. Tickets at the club.

WHAT A TRIP! We are a people on the move. India, Thailand and Bali feature as constant spiritual travel destinations as people gravitate to places where they can both party and pray. To meet the appetite of a world travelled audience, The Big Joke Comedy Festival in Bangalow presents the Friday night feature: Tripping Out. Three of the country’s funniest and most well travelled comics come head to head in a panel that looks at the issues, challenges and stories gathered from kicking around the planet. Just how do you cope with Jetlag? Is it better to travel alone? And what exactly can you expect on a budget of $1 a day? Confronting these perplexing questions and more are Jonathon Atherton, Greg Fleet, Dave Callan and Mandy Nolan as MC. Jonathon Atherton is a dedicated traveller and fluent in at least 10 languages. He has spent most of his life travelling and made his first trip at the age of two when he travelled with his father who was a foreign correspondent. Greg Fleet has performed shows and written books about his travel experiences, the most notorious being ‘Thai Die’ a Hunter S Thompson style romp through South East Asia. Joining the panel is international comedian Dave Callan. He first gained serious popularity while performing on Rove but left the show to

pursue his love for standup. Touring internationally over the next few years, Callan had successful shows each year in the Melbourne International Comedy Festival performing often at the festival club. Known widely as Rove’s eccentric Irish comic,Callan was Rove McManus’s groomsman at his wedding to Belinda Emmett. Tripping Out is the opening event for The Big Joke Comedy Festival, a three day event harnessing humour in the hamlet of Bangalow. Tickets are $35 and are available at: The Urban & Obsession in Bangalow; Mullumbimby Bookshop, Byron Books and De Vinyl in Byron. For more

movie reviews BLOOD DIAMOND It’s not surprising that, responding to this movie, De Beers has mounted a campaign stressing what good guys they are, for it strikes deep at the diamond business and the atrocities that its market blithely makes commonplace. Set in Sierra Leone, the story is centred on Danny Archer (Leonardo DiCaprio), a smuggler and fortune hunter from Rhodesia (as he calls Zimbabwe). A survivor of Africa’s turmoil, he develops an all consuming lust for the enormous rose coloured gem that was discovered and hidden by the enslaved Solomon (Djimon Hounsou). Against a background of miserable poverty and anarchic warfare waged by child soldiers, there might be one or two too many threads for the good of cohesion, but it is refreshing to find director Edward Zwick resisting the obligatory torrid love scene between Leo and Jennifer Connelly, cast inappropriately as a journalist. Her role is to pay lip service to the conscience of a liberal white audience, but she is wan instead of gritty and intrudes upon the action. DiCaprio has been bagged for his accent (amazing how many critics are also linguistic experts)

7

but to me it was convincing, as was his vigorous performance. Relying heavily on coincidence (Solomon’s sighting of his wife in a camp of one million refugees is ridiculous) and the hero’s bulletproof luck, this still manages to pack a hefty punch, thanks to brilliant cinematography and a high-minded mission. John Campbell

FLUSHED AWAY What happens when the creators of Wallace and Gromit and Dreamworks get together to make a movie? Well, not much, sadly. Flushed Away tells the story of Roddy St. James (voiced by Hugh Jackman), a pet mouse from London’s Royal Borough of Kensington who is flushed down the loo by Sid, a marauding rat. Roddy winds up in the sewer system, a bustling, junk-infested re-creation of aboveground London. Upon arrival, he meets Rita rat (Kate Winslet), a girl being pursued by a malevolent Toad (Ian McKellen) for a valuable ruby. Roddy and Rita must foil Toad’s wicked plot to flood the sewer and deliver Roddy back ‘up top’ to the much-scorned upperworld. It’s refreshing to hear British accents and humour in a mainstream animation but

first-time feature directors Sam Fell and David Bowers deliver a picture that lacks the heart of a Shrek or Happy Feet. The constant aggression, cluttered set design and muddled pacing of the film leave it shy of that A-list. The slugs are amusing in the familiar ‘singing-micefrom-Babe-role’ and the cliche-ridden stab at the French has its moments. But, to me, Flushed feels a bit like the Tomb Raider of the animation world, with convenient plot solutions and a story that never quite justifies all the overblown action. Tristan Bancks

CASINO ROYALE Daniel Craig stars as the new James Bond. The film offers a brutal, grittier interpretation of the role of secret agent James Bond. The film is interesting for the cunning ways in which it subverts

expectation– it features posh, glamorous locations, and the production looks expensive, but in this instalment, Bond doesn’t entirely surrender to our escapist demands. He’s a man whose personality hints of dangerous uncertainty, and it’s this elemental edge that allows Craig to wipe away memories of earlier portrayals of Bond. Casino Royale has its share of globe-hopping, but it de-emphasizes the notion that the world is Bond’s playground. Even Bond’s interactions with M (a wonderful Judi Dench) have the abrupt quality of a gloves-off sparring match. If the director’s goal was to give Bond vivid new life, Casino Royale must be called a success. This Bond is not only licensed to kill but eager to get on with the job. That’s why Daniel Craig’s Bond may leave you more shaken than stirred.

Mr Bitemark is indisposed with a head cold – or perhaps he has fallen into a Tarot deck – and he has asked me to fill this column on his behalf. I do not pretend to have Mr Bitemark’s writing skills but as the Club’s dominatrix-on-call I have a familiarity with the subject matter, and the discipline to carry it out. Fortunately one of my naked clients provided his back for the first draft, and the old-fashioned inkwell and scratchy pen proved ideal, if my client’s moans are anything to go by. Dominance requires a clear head, so my days are not given to the imbibing of entheogens in the club members’ manner – this is something Sanders the butler and I have in common, along with our appreciation of Hungarian philately from 1956 to 1973, especially the stamps featuring colourful butterflies. A set of the chains in my dungeon is decorated with a silk model of an Iolas Blue for the amusement of my whimsical clients. As you can imagine, the holiday season is busy for a successful dominatrix. Visiting clients are piled upon my regulars, sometimes quite literally. Discretion – and the laws of libel – prevent me from naming names but no doubt the gentle reader is familiar with many of the club members and their peccadillos. In addition some of the Shire’s prominent citizens express the uninhibited depths of their psyches not reached at a social service club general meeting or at the family barbecue. Retailers I find have a particular passion for the whip – one crying out ‘Discount me! Discount me! as I bring it down upon his willing shoulders – and the bureaucrats in our vast welfare administration demonstrate a penchant for cottage cheese laced with paprika applied judiciously to various parts. A particular favourite of mine is the exporter who excels at being a coffee table and doesn’t flinch no matter how hot or cold the beverage. As to the visitors, for one software giant I had to reach into the stiletto cupboard for an under-used pair of eight inch red heels. ‘Blue screen of death!’ he cried as I raked them across his abs. The BMW salesman was a fan of shibari and this allowed me to practise some of the more elaborate knots I had learnt in in the Girl Guides and at Miss Frances Hellbow’s College of Advanced Bondage. While most of my clients are men, some women appreciate my services. The visiting supermodel was so beautiful I allowed her, just for a moment, to touch me. Any man assuming such a familiarity would have been removed forthwith by my Tongan bodyguards.

‘No, thank you, Sanders,’ I replied, ‘as the Scots say, the back is made to fit the burden. And may I enquire after Mr Bitemark’s health?’

This column lark is not an easy thing, especially when one’s tastes run to the corporeal rather than the cerebral, and I shall be glad to see Mr Bitemark back on deck.

‘I do hope Madam is not too enervated by her exertions?’ asked Sanders as he handed me a glass of Pellegrino’s sparking mineral water enhanced with a little ginger refresher.

‘Splendid.’

After a few long nights of administering the discipline the masters of the world so desperately crave, I like to relax in a suite provided for me at the Myocum clubhouse by its kind members. There I am pampered most generously by Sanders and Chef.

‘Indeed, Madam. The gentleman is improving with the aid of a Nigerian witch doctor, half a bag of peyote buttons and some single malt whisky. We expect him up and around at any moment.’

FAVOURITE COOKBOOKS

THERE ARE BOOKS AND THERE ARE BOOKS. There are some cookbooks which call out to you to instantly start to cook: to bind an apron around your waist, ignite oven, bring out chopping board and best knife, weigh and measure, sift and stir. On Christmas Day amongst the delirious tangle of coloured paper, curling ribbon, tiny candles in glass bowls there lay Bill Granger’s latest cookbook on top of Donna Hay’s, and my sister leafing rapturously through the former and exclaiming how the recipes were so easy and so inviting that she felt like launching into a bake-a-thon immediately. Out of the infinite range of cookbooks available – and every week sees the release of another handful – there are only some that have this effect. I once read that the average number of dishes an average person cooks out of a cookbook is three: that’s three recipes only out of a tome possibly possessing hundreds. What is it that makes us first try out a dish? Is it the sumptuous photography accompanying it, or the uncomplicated (or even complicated) procedures? Is it the layout and the design of the pages, or the seductive prose? My favourite cookbooks – and God knows I have a small army of them (though not as many as a Sydney friend who has dedicated an entire wall in her office to books on food and cooking, endless shelves of them) – my favourites are easy enough to pick. They are the syrup-spattered sauce-stained ones which have quite lost their coffee-table allure; certain pages fly open of their own volition; front covers are torn and spines loosened; post-it notes and ancient postcards stick out like little flags. These are the books I always return to: my friends in food. Bill Granger’s first book is one of these. Simply titled ‘Sydney Food’, it is composed of many of the dishes served at his eponymous cafĂŠs, and describes itself as showing ‘the way we eat in Sydney’. Six years old now, the book still reads freshly and it still inspires me every time I open it. The Smoked Trout with Potato Salad I have made a hundred times; the Warm Poached Chicken with Onion Rice and Fresh Ginger Relish incurs something approaching applause when I serve it at dinner parties; Granny Mac’s Shortbreads, buttery spirals seamed with cinnamon-scented jam, the sort of ridiculously easy biscuit recipe I like to have up my sleeve. The photography, it must be added, is gorgeous. Then there is ‘CafĂŠ CafÊ’ by a woman called Kirsten McKay who ran a popular cafe in North Sydney before dying far too young. I have tested many more than three recipes out of her book, which is falling apart, smeared and ragged and which has acquired a peculiar odour. I disregard all that, and wade through it all to arrive at my favourite pages: her Korean Dressing is heavenly, but so are her cakes (Semolina and Yoghurt; Pear and Ginger Cheesecake; Pat’s Coconut and Lemon Syrup Cake). This book was where I first came across that magical combination of equal parts whipped cream to Greek-style yoghurt, scattered thickly with brown sugar and left to set for several hours, so that the sugar melts in the lush cream and becomes a syrup. Her Parsnip and Parmesan Loaf is fiddly but fancy, and her suggestion list for antipasto both creative and inspiring. The usual suspects – Stephanie Alexander, Elizabeth David, Marcella Hazan, Jane Grigson – have all been plundered with zealous regularity, all have their wellused pages. A curiously-shaped hard cover in gold by Christine Manfield called ‘Paramount Cooking’ is utterly pristine, ten or fifteen years post its purchase (recipes preposterously complicated, involving too many ingredients and too many steps); Charmaine Solomon’s superb ‘Encyclopaedia of Asian Food’ is unsullied, a source of reference only, betraying my low level of interest in Asian cooking; Alice Waters’s ‘Chez Panisse Menu Cookbook’ I dip into occasionally in order to feel awed and yet – is it the complete absence of photography, a few vibrant plates to show me the finished dish? – I have never tried out a single recipe, despite her lovely writing. One of my New Year’s Resolutions is to cook one new thing a week. This could be a way of utilising the vast store of culinary suggestions I largely neglect, and in doing so unearth some gorgeous new things to eat. A way of finding new favourites and new show-stoppers, and of making the books feel wanted and loved.

BACK2BACK This Saturday night back2back returns to the Great Northern, featuring DJ Sampology, maestro of the decks for both Soma Rasa & The Vinyl Slingers; Byron’s very own electro breaks wizard, DJ Brad Vortex, just returned from the UK and Canada; and DJ Noodles kicking from hip hop to breaks. There’ll be some special guests on the night, décor from TerraSpatial, a wicked light show from Greatworks and the Northern’s infamous Sampson sound system. Sampology is a producer and vinyl addict, when he’s not scratching up a storm for breakbeat bands, he plays hip.hop, funk, breaks, disco, house and drum and bass, mixing it all up for a wicked party vibe and rocking dance floor. Sampology’s supported Flash, Blackalicious, The Freestylers, Pendulum, Sonic Animation, Concord Dawn & Kid Confucius to name a few, and played at the 2006 Big Day Out, Earthcore, Rock the Vote, Parklife, BBQ Breaks & Beats On The Beach with Soma Rasa.

PLAY ON PLAY> again with Isaac Tucker from the UK electro tech band Spektrum. Isaac played a killer set last December and returns on Friday 12 January with fresh UK tech-funk and electro house. Local DJs fill the rest of the weekly line up from Wednesday to Saturday plus Sydney guests Matttt and Tomas play on Thursday. Then on Saturday the Beats on the Beach local stage headliners Flynn n Clegs spin ay PLAY>

With several planets in stubborn mode, this week produces iron mindsets. The good news is Mars in Sagittarius pushing for breakthroughs – which are more likely to be achieved by intelligence and insight than pressure… ARIES: Aries’ robust attitude masks a secret longing for attention and affection. Think of this when you’re about to give an opinion that might denigrate someone or hurt their feelings. Treat others this week the way you love to be treated – with care, concern, compliments and caresses. TAURUS: Taurans are pretty determined operators, but be aware that powerful ego drives are working this week. If you start to feel resistance, don’t push it – ease off and allow others time and space to come around. People won’t want to be pressed or pressured right now. GEMINI: Geminis are well aware of the difference between what’s possible to achieve and what’s a forgetabout-it scenario. Others might think you’re taking chances this week, but you’ve done way more research, networking and homework than they have. Go for it. CANCER: Present astral energies have business hormones pumping and this is one of the year’s finest times for tightening financial leaks, planning new money moves and particularly for making positive changes to shared assets and joint holdings. LEO: You’ll be chuffed, though naturally not surprised, to learn you’re this week’s

enterprising, decisive, love and money magnet. Too much of a hard sell will turn others off though, so be aware when your audience is ready for you to slide oh so subtly into a less pressing register… VIRGO: While this week’s people lean to the stubborn end of the spectrum the general energy’s decidedly Virgo-friendly, and being flexible is very much in your own interests. This week’s success is directly proportionate to how much pleasure you’re getting from what you do. LIBRA: With your planetary boss lady Venus moved into Aquarius, expect three weeks of vivid social life, sudden insights and unexpected experiences with unusual people – plus some sudden changes and rearrangements in the Libran work place and home front. SCORPIO: Your stars advise avoiding getting stuck on what’s not working this week, because what you focus on inevitably expands. You’re going for the glass half full approach this year, remember? Find what is working – or what might – and concentrate on expanding that. SAGITTARIUS: Your current plan or project gets extra star support right now – and if this week presents you with setbacks, it also brings the ability to snap back like elastic with that signature Sagittarian resilience, resourcefulness and refusal to give in or give up. CAPRICORN: The present no nonsense, back on track energy needs some light relief and it’s time to treat yourself

Stars with lilith to something you enjoy. Let things run by themselves. And don’t be standoffish – this week others appreciate you being accessible and available. AQUARIUS: According to Aquarian Galileo Galilei: All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered. The point is to discover them… You may have to do a bit of extra digging to unearth it this week – but isn’t a new truth worth it? PISCES: With Mars in Sagittarius delivering a fairly massive attack of volatile behaviour, it’s wise to protect your psychic space from disturbing elements this week. And give some thought to the recent wonderful, unexpected new opening that’s become available.

Sports Roundup with John Campbell

You can’t keep a bad man down John Campbell Everybody does bad stuff from time to time. It’s part of the human condition. Self-indulgent re-evaluations of established values by New Agers have blurred the line between what exactly is good and bad, but in our heart of hearts we all know the difference. Coping with one’s own indiscretions can be dispiriting if attempted solo and a safety valve for our pent up angst has, by proxy, been provided by reprobate members of the motley crew who rise to prominence in the arts. The appeal of the antihero took off in the ‘fifties, with the surly beauty of a leather-clad Marlon Brando terrorising middle America on his Triumph Thunderbird. The horror of Hiroshima and Nagasaki had annihilated any vestige of morality in the West so, eight short years later, Marlon’s antics, though pale in comparison, confirmed that the old rule book was in tatters. The entertainment value and social significance of ‘wild ones’ grew unstoppably and, inevitably, the black sheep of the sports fraternity rolled up their sleeves to offer the world alternative whipping posts for its guilt complexes. 2006 ended ignominiously for one such serial offender. In Arizona, the bête noire of boxing, Mike Tyson, was arrested yet again, this time for possession and driving under the

influence of cocaine. You’d want to be well-armed to ask a bloke like Iron Mike to get out of the car, but he surrendered peacefully. It seems his days of mayhem are behind him, but for a while there he thrilled us all, fuelling our outrage and making us feel a whole lot better about ourselves with his penchant for doing the wrong thing. Ty s o n contributed immensely to setting the bar so high (or low) for fellow miscreants. Few have attracted such a level of right thinking odium. Cocaine fiend and cigar

smoking buddy of Fidel Castro, Diego Maradona could similarly be relied upon for going off the rails. Among a litany of ‘offences’, Diego, at the peak of his popularity, married his childhood sweetheart Claudia in the grandest cathedral of Buenos Aires and invited every luminary in town to the humungous event – except the Archbishop. Given Latin America’s rabid Catholicism, that takes some topping for uncivil behaviour. His supporters dug him even more when he took umbrage at the proximity to his home and family of

prying paparazzi and started shooting at them. Now gone to fat, Maradona is still a legend. Instead of joining the nobs in their deluxe seats at last year’s World Cup, he slummed it with the proles in the outer, going the rat with them in moments of triumph and crying in despair at their team’s elimination. Feeling that he is one of us comforts more than all of his sins disturb. It’s when the feet of clay of Diego and his ilk are plain to see that we truly understand what weird and inadmissible emotional invest-

ment we have in them. The Irishman George Best was a brilliant footballer but, more than that, for many he was a fallen angel. Man U’s magical number 7 once observed, in what was ultimately a heartbreaking piss-take of himself, ‘I’ve won Cup medals, I breakfast on Bollinger and sleep with beauty queens. Where did it all go wrong?’ Alcohol killed him in the end, as it did his mother. He was a poor role model, but tell that to the thousands who lined the way of his funeral procession. Such love. Such need to identify.

To many, John McEnroe was another who filled the role of dark alter ego, but to me he appealed less. His badness reeked of being entirely calculating and bogus. Just another rich kid having tantrums and bullying people. Unarguably though, he enlivened the crowd and contributed more to the interest in tennis of non-tennis players than nice guys like Ken Rosewall ever did. As Robert Johnson knew, the Devil gets the best tunes. That’s why we are drawn to the bad boys – I even liked Tyson. There was something unhinged and primeval about the way he stepped straight into his opponents and pounded them with a fury that came from deep down inside. It was personal for Mike. He had demons. Who doesn’t? When James ‘Buster’ Douglas knocked him out I inexplicably thought it one of the most piteous sights I’d witnessed. Now our homegrown scoundrel, S K Warne, has called it a day. I’ll miss him for his genius at making a goose of himself as much as for bowling his leg-breaks. There was a classy gaucheness about his misdemeanours that is vanishing from professional sport. All we get lately is boorish drunk footballers bashing people, reading to the media a note of contrition written by their manager, then doing it again. They’re making the true transgressors look bad.

Old tar triumphs in Tassie Young surfer gets a taste of international competition

Former Byron Shire Councillor and now hardy boatie, Duncan Dey, has brought back to the area the first sporting trophy of the year. At the 38th National Championships of the fourteen-foot NS14 class dinghies, completed recently at Tasmania’s Lindisfarne Sailing Club, Duncan was the proud recipient of the ‘veteran’s trophy.’ . The NS14 is an Australian designed sailing dinghy, intended for competitive family sailing. It has a simple rig, is light enough to be lifted from a trailer (fully rigged) into the water by three persons of average strength, requires only reasonable fit-

ness to sail, and is affordable to the private sailor. In partnership with another shire resident, Janet Allured, the pair had to contend with fierce competition, unknown waters and the extremes of the Apple Isle’s weather conditions, with snow on Christmas Day and baking heat by the time of the final race last week. Together in Whatever… , their worthy craft, Duncan and Janet came a creditable eighth overall. The area was also represented by Mark Goltz and his daughter Jacinta who sailed ‘Aphrodite’ to fifth on handicap in the closing event. Onya Duncan and James Woods of Lennox Head dipped out of the Billabong ASP World Junior Championships at North Narrabeen, eliminated by the highest heat score of the day from Queensland’s Julian Wilson.

Where’s Jesus? The Jesus from the Nativity Scene at the Eden at Byron Nursery – adored by families – has been stolen. If anyone has any information regarding a 30cm plastic illuminated Jesus – let’s face it, the centrepiece of the scene – please contact Maree or Brad at Eden at Byron on 6685 6874. ■■■■A good news story: the off duty ambo who revived a young girl at Torakina on Christmas Eve would like those who were there at the time to know that the little girl recovered and was back home on Christmas Day. ■■■■Future Prime Minister and present ACTU Secretary Greg Combet is enjoying a break in Brunswick Heads. Greg, who was awarded the Order Of Australia for his work on behalf of asbestos victims, is a far better advocate for workers’ rights than he is a bowler of a park cricket ball, preferring the ‘Ian Meckiff’ method of delivery on Sunday in Memorial Park. ■■■■Further to an earlier Backlash, local comedian Sandy Gandhi is still without a place to rent. She reports: ‘Those of you with Byron Bay post boxes might have noticed the sweet smell of curry in the room that houses the boxes – I’ve moved into the PO “backroom�. It’s the most “unreal estate� in town, $55 a year, wall to wall carpeting with all amenities nearby. I’ve even cashed in on the holiday letting scam.’ Seriously though, Sandy is still desperately looking for single selfcontained digs in the Byron area. She can be contacted at sandygee1@bigpond.com. ■■■■The latest development in the Byron Bay brothel brouhaha is that Council is seeking legal advice as to whether or not

Members of the international cult the Raelians (www.rael.org – check out the 1950s flying saucer) brightened up the beachfront on Saturday with a Laughterthon. A pleasant change from random outbreaks of violence. Photo Jeff ‘The Joker’ Dawson

Council can withdraw a development approval after issuing it. It expects to have advice mid February. The Echo has been offered interviews with various folk both pro and con the brothel, including current and ex prostitutes, but does not intend at this stage to enlarge upon opinions which have been well covered in the letters pages. â– â– â– â– Sue Bower of Goonengerry writes: ‘This may sound wacky and daft but it is true. Exactly five minutes after midnight on New Years Eve while sitting on a grassy hill I looked up into the sky and observed a silhouette of Bob Hawke etched in the clouds, floating on an offshore wind. Was it a sign of favourable times for the opposition, or favourable surf conditions?’ Yeah, we’re not sure, Sue. â– â– â– â– Another local artist taking advantage of the internet to create a profile is Andrew Jack.
