Bold plans for holiday letting Hans Lovejoy

Realtor and Byron Shire councillor Rose Wanchap has proposed to increase security deposits to a maximum of $5,000 for holiday let homes in an attempt to address what she says is a ‘solution to the issue of unacceptable behaviour,’ by unruly visitors.

It comes as Council last week agreed to initiate a holiday let forum, which will include members from HLO (Holiday Letting Organisation), ARAMANR (Australian Residential Accommodation

Management Association, northern rivers), Victims of Holiday Letting (VOHL), the real estate sector and the broader community.

Cr Wanchap told The Echo that while there is ‘an excellent set of rules drawn up by the HLO called a code of conduct’, it is ‘clear that regulation of the Holiday Let industry in the Byron Shire is failing.’

‘All the rules in the world mean nothing once alcohol comes into the picture, and it is obvious that it is not working if the number of complaints are any indication.

‘I propose that all managing agents impose a security deposit… of $800 per person, or a maximum of $5,000 per home. If the owners of these homes are concerned that this would lose them business, they can put up the bond themselves. This way the risk that they will behave is on their shoulders, not the community. I believe this will discourage the wrong type of holiday maker, while families will be happy to pay the deposit because they know they have very little risk of losing it. The code of conduct produced by HLO has all

the rules and regulations required to impose the loss of deposit if complaints are received. This would need to be agreed by all holiday letting agents so that no-one is disadvantaged. I would propose a 12-month trial to see if the industry can indeed self-regulate.’

No comment: HLO HLO spokesperson John Gudgeon told The Echo that his organisation and letting agents ‘welcomed the opportunity to engage with Byron Shire councillors and staff at a meet-

ing to discuss the issues raised relating to holiday letting on Thursday June 20.’

‘It was recognised and accepted by all that a working group representing those present will be convened with the objective of examining the detail of all issues and options raised before any informed policy can be created. While this in process, HLO believes that it is not appropriate to comment or to react publicly to anecdotes quoted. All perspectives are well known and all will be on the table.’

Mining subsidies on the rise: Australia Institute Left-wing think tank, The Australia Institute (TAI), has released a new research paper entitled Pouring More Fuel On The Fire.

Researcher Mark Ogge says the paper updates previous Australia Institute research detailing federal government subsidies to the mining industry. He says the findings suggest the federal government increased taxpayer funded subsidies to the mining industry by

12.5 per cent over the past year, amounting to an increase of half a billion dollars.

‘This type of industry assistance is usually used to help industries when they are financially vulnerable or establishing themselves.

‘This is clearly not the case for the largely foreign owned (83 per cent) mining industry, who made $84 billion in pre-tax profits last year,’ he says.

MLC Jan Barham and former Byron Shire mayor has stepped up the pressure on the NSW ministers for environment and primary industries over management of the the state-owned North Coast Holiday Parks (NCHP), which runs three caravan parks on Crown reserves in Brunswick Heads.

The long-running issue was sparked after former Labor minister Tony Kelly, now disgraced, appropriated the parks and their cash flow from Council in 2006.

In state parliament last week, MLC Jan Barham put almost 20 questions on notice to the ministers, including police prosecution against protestor Michele Grant, who is defending a charge of disposing of stolen property after the removal of the barricades around a year ago from Riverside Crescent in the Ferry Reserve Caravan Park.

The case was adjourned to Byron Local Court on 19 July and police have so far refused to drop the charges despite requests.

Ms Grant, from the Foreshore Protection Group, instead insists her prosecution is a ‘classic SLAPP’ (strategic lawsuit against public participation) move aimed at silencing an outspoken critic.

Ms Grant was part of a group of more than a dozen Brunswick Heads residents who took part in the community protest action to remove the large barricades which they said illegally obstructed access to a public boat ramp.

The barricades were erected on the road a week before a new licence agreement for the park was adopted by Council,

Brunswick Heads residents at the barricades placed across what they believed was their public road shortly before they were removed in a protest action last year.

sparking local outrage. The protest aimed to highlight ongoing community support for retaining foreshore land for public use.

The barricades were later placed outside the main entrance to Council’s offices in Mullumbimby but later reinstalled on the foreshore road by council workers.

At the core of Ms Grant’s defence is her belief the barricades were owned by Council and the protesters had therefore not stolen them but returned them to the local government body after the action.

Minister grilling Meanwhile in parliament last week, Ms Barham asked about the relationship between the administrators of the parks, the North Coast Accommodation Trust (NCAT), and NCHP, including an inquiry on how much it spends for the benefit of the Brunswick Heads community.

She has previously asked the state government in parliament why the road was suddenly closed by park managers.

Last week she asked if the

minister responsible for the parks, environment minister Robyn Parker, was ‘aware that the matter related to the removal of barricades that had been placed on a public road without the procedural public notification process?’

Legal costs She also asked the extent of the costs of the case against Ms Grant and who would be paying for them.

One of the prosecution witnesses who was staying at the Ferry Reserve Caravan Park at the time of the barricade removal is believed to have been flown from Wollongong and accommodated locally to testify.

Others involved in giving evidence included NCAT administrator Jim Bolger, a NCHP manager and Council’s executive manager of community infrastructure, Phil Holloway.

NCHP reply A reply to The Echo’s questions from NCAT administrator Jim Bolger arrived too late for publication, however it will be followed up in next week’s paper and online.

EPA investigations underway Illegal clear felling falls under Forestry Corporation of NSW’s watch Luis Feliu & Hans Lovejoy

Illegally logged old-growth forest in the Koreelah State Forest near Woodenbong is now being investigated by the Environment Protection Authority (EPA) after pressure from a local conservation group and evidence presented to NSW parliament.

Photographs of around six hectares of felled trees were tabled by Byron Bay based MLC Jan Barham last week, despite the area being protected.

The photographs were taken during a recent inspection by the North East Forest Alliance (NEFA), and show the aftermath of logging that has felled trees approaching 2.5 metres in diameter.

Ms Barham said that when she showed the photos during question time last Wednesday, many MPs were shocked ‘at the size of these trees which had been recently logged. It was so powerful’. She said, ‘the forest provides habitat for threatened species and its destruction creates a risk of invasive species such as lantana taking hold. ‘The public puts its trust in government to preserve and protect our natural environment. The loss of these great forests is like stealing from future generations.’

Latest loggings The incident is the latest in a series of illegal logging events throughout protected areas of the state’s northeastern forests in the past few years.

Royal Camp State Forest, southwest of Casino, was halted following revelations in Echonetdaily that core koala habitat was being axed.

Prior to that incident, NEFA had also urged the state government to stop illegal logging of Rufous Scrubbird habitat in Styx River State Forest, east of Armidale, calling for an independent inquiry when it was found that Forests NSW had falsely claimed that suitable habitat for the bird did not exist.

NEFA has also accused the environment and primary industries ministers of being slow to act on their complaints, and illegal logging continues unabated. The NEFA has previously called on the federal government to intervene on illegal logging, but to no avail.

EPA seeks info An EPA spokesperson told The Echo that the agency inspected Forestry Corporation of NSW (FCNSW) operations

in mid-May 2013 after receiving initial allegations of logging breaches in old-growth areas of Koreelah State Forest. ‘In mid-June 2013, the EPA received further detailed allegations and is continuing to actively investigate these matters. These allegations were also made to FCNSW before being raised with the EPA and it is understood that FCNSW moved to rectify specific issues immediately.’ The spokesperson says any-

body with further information should report it to the EPA EnviroLine on 131 555, or via online at www.epa.nsw. gov.au/forestagreements/reportingform.htm.

The office for the NSW minister for the environment, Robyn Parker, told The Echo that, ‘It would be inappropriate to comment further until the allegations have been completed. We encourage anyone with information to contact the EPA.’

Local News Margaret vies OS tennis championships Elderly man They say you’re never too old to dream, and Byron Bay octogenarian Margaret Fisher is proving the point.

Ms Fisher, who was last year’s Australian over-80s tennis champion, is about to have a final shot at the crown of world champion.

In September, she plans to fly to Austria to compete in the International Tennis Federation’s World Championships, and while nothing will stop her, her achievement highlights the lack of sponsorship funding available for elite elderly athletes.

Role model Margaret’s daughter, Mullumbimby author Stephanie Dale, says, ‘Mum is a brilliant role model for ageing, yet we

resuscitated

cannot find a single public dollar that can help her get to the world championships.’

‘I was at the world championships with mum last year, and I was gobsmacked watching 32 women over 80 race around the tennis court. It was incredibly inspiring.

‘I’m wondering if there are other businesses in the area

who’d like to help mum get to the world championships,’ she said. ‘Mum is well known around Byron Bay and she’d be a wonderful asset as a sponsorship partner for some lucky business or businesses.

Ms Fisher can be contacted through her daughter Stephanie on 0422 138 103.

A 92-year-old man is lucky to be alive after he was pulled out of the surf unconscious and not breathing by a beachgoer at Byron Bay’s Main Beach on Saturday.

The beachgoer gave the man CPR after pulling him out of the water. Off-duty members of Byron Bay SLSC also assisted until paramedics arrived. He was taken to Tweed Coast Hospital where he remains in a critical condition.

Far north coast duty officer, Jimmy Keough, who himself was recently awarded for his services to lifesaving, praised the quick thinking of the people who responded.

‘Their quick response really needs to be commended,’ he said.

Street Cruise gets the golf shoes on A golfing fundraiser to support the vital work of the Street Cruise Outreach Program is planned for Sunday July 14.

The program, run by the Byron Youth Service (BYS), provides late-night prevention/early intervention services and offers support for

young people on the streets where binge drinking, vandalism and violence may occur.

Teams of four will be able to register at 10am for an 11am start at the Byron Bay Golf Club, with prizes for the three best winning teams.

A barbecue grill will be on

A nice cup of tea at the Death Café Byron Shire is part of the global movement actively challenging and improving on the way we do death, dying and funerals.

Local grief and bereavement counsellor Kylie Duncan is part of the Natural Death Care Centre (www. naturaldeathcentre.org.au) and is hosting Byron’s first Death Café.

At Death Cafés, people come together in a relaxed and safe setting to discuss death, drink tea and eat delicious cake. The objective of a Death Café is to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their finite lives.

‘Death is a taboo subject in our society and most of us carry a lot of fear about death,’ says Kylie. ‘It is not easy to talk about death and dying even when it is the natural end of our lives.

Death Cafés are open to anyone wanting to talk about death and dying in a casual

and supportive environment. This Byron event is to be held on Wednesday July 3, 5.45–8pm.

Byron falls short on funding: mayor Chris Dobney & Hans Lovejoy

Byron mayor Simon Richardson has declared the shire has been ‘dudded’ in the most recent round of Regional Development Australia Fund (RDAF) grants, although the organisation says the distribution is easily explicable.

RDAF last week announced the results of its fifth funding round, with grants announced for most rural and some urban councils, despite applications not yet having been called for.

According to the RDAF website, northern rivers councils will receive funding as follows: Ballina Shire $232,667, Byron Shire $149,681, Clarence Valley $668,200, Kyogle $229,587, Lismore City Council $436,455, Richmond Valley $316,430, Tweed Shire $613,184.

Cr Richardson told The Echo, ‘Our allocated amount is less than all of our neighbouring councils. It doesn’t appear to be based on population, or

aligned with the financial assistance grant formula.’

The criticism comes despite councils having to nominate relevant ‘shovel-ready’ projects to be eligible for the remaining allocated funds.

The mayor said Council staff were currently putting together a list of shovel-ready projects to be considered for the RDA Round 5 funding.

And while he welcomes all opportunities for grant funding, he urged the state government to reconsider its future funding formulas.

Only city councils are in the black ‘The recent local governmental review has shown that only the city-based metropolitan councils are in a financially sustainable position and regional counterparts are struggling. There needs to be a reweighing of funding allocations.

‘Regional councils have more roads and bridges and often are expected to offer

a broader range of on the ground services than metropolitan councils. The state has created an over reliance of funding that often comes with strict guidelines and the necessity to contribute council funds.

‘It’s a type of cost shifting and can result in a council turning down the funding if it can not contribute.’

The mayor added the state government had created a dysfunctional funding environment where often only the wealthier councils could access grant money and the less affluent were left further behind.

What Council did last Thursday Hans Lovejoy

It was again a bureaucratic roller-coaster ride last week as the nitty gritty of free market ‘progress’ versus community/ environmental ‘protectionism’ was given a full workout.

But it was also a full day of asking for staff reports, declaring to write letters to government bodies and approving all sorts of things.

Belongil land Rezoning Council-owned land on Manfred Street, Belongil, looks likely to proceed after a motion by deputy mayor Di Woods, despite Cr Duncan Dey’s attempted amendment to ‘follow the priorities as outlined in the Financial Sustainability Project Plan.’

The motion attempts to create much-needed cashflow for Council and will ‘initiate the process to investigate the reclassification of the Council-owned land from ‘Community Land to Operational Land.’ Councillors and senior staff will also visit the site to assess all ‘available land for potential sale’.

During debate, Greens Cr Dey opposed as it will be ‘permanent and not a planned retreat.’ The mayor agreed and said there are potentially ‘massive’ management risk issues, being both legal and policy.

‘Why should this be fasttracked?’ said the mayor.

‘Are we prepared to redirect staff resources from the LEP? Is it to raise money for the rock walls?’ Cr Paul Spooner went further and said it should be called ‘The Little Noosa Motion.’

‘It’s creating a little enclave and this will go on and on.

It won’t fit in with any strategies… why is this queue jumping? The amendment gives us time to look at this.’

In reply, Cr Woods queried

‘In politics, we presume that everyone who knows how to get votes knows how to administer a city or a state. When we are ill… we do not ask for the handsomest physician, or the most eloquent one.’ Plato Cr Spooner’s ‘private enclave’ statement. ‘What about upper Wilsons Creek? This [item] was on the list before. Staff had it on the list. We keep coming up with excuses to not act.’

But senior staffer Sharon McKelvey told councillors an old court order may restrict Council dealings with neighbours, which could complicate matters.

‘Staff suspect legal and policy issues might arise and would like time to research this,’ she said. ‘The location of a private house partly on the Council land was the subject of court cases between 1997 and 2002, and the house has remained partly on the public land ever since.’ Crs Dey, Richardson, Cameron and Spooner voted against.

Coast managment Meanwhile, Council will seek support from the NSW premier and whichever prime minister we currently have to prepare a Coastal Zone Management Plan (CZMP) for the Shire. It is hoped that such a plan could help address other beach areas such as New Brighton and South Golden Beach where large-scale erosion has occurred.

A motion was then resolved, ‘That, if Council’s funding application under the Coastal Management Program is successful for funds to offset 50 per cent of eligible costs to undertake the beach scraping program, any miscellaneous funds allocated to the

Beach Scraping Program be allocated in 2013/14 to resource the preparation of a CZMP for New Brighton and South Golden Beach.’ Crs Chris Cubis, Woods and Hunter voted against the motion.

24/7 VET ON DUTY

ber that in that time no rent had been collected from the telco, while Telstra’s offer for site rental was under market value, according to Council advice.

Newie lights on A no-brainer really, but the lights will stay on until 9pm for soccer games at the Tom Kendall Oval in New Brighton after a timer turned them off mid-game last week.

Blackspot funding Council will accept a federal Black Spot program grant offer of $210,000 to ‘undertake road safety improvement works at the intersection of Jonson Street and Browning Street, Byron Bay.’ During debate, Cr Duncan Dey pushed to reject the offer, saying there were ‘strings attached’ to the grant.

‘If Council demolishes any work, it has to be paid back.

It’s a liability. If we go ahead with the bypass we would have to pay this back. We should liberate that money for another Shire. The feds will look for another black spot that will be somewhere else…’

But Cr Rose Wanchap said, ‘We could save a life there, it’s a dangerous intersection.’ All councillors voted in favour except Cr Dey.

Suffolk tower It’s been ongoing for over a decade, but that didn’t stop councillors from deferring ‘issues and options’ for Telstra’s tower in Suffolk Park to a workshop, possibly in August.

During morning access, resident Peter Wegner said, ‘Ten years ago, Telstra took over the tower illegally and they are dictating the terms of use.’ He reminded the cham-

Are agricultural poisons creating melanomas?

In the past 25 years cases of melanoma in the Australian population have almost doubled. It is the fourth most common cancer and represents ten per cent of all new cancers diagnosed. Moreover, our northern region records the highest concentration of melanomas in NSW. You can put this down to a combination of climate and feckless behaviour, with all us old irresponsible hippies forgetting to take precautions against the sun, or you can cast about for an alternative explanation.

Unfortunately there is one. Or actually several. Try Maneb, Mancozeb, Methyl Parathion or Carbaryl. These are agricultural poisons. They are among the 80 chemicals banned in other parts of the world but still in use in Australia.

The high incidence of skin cancer in agricultural workers locally has been attributed to their occupational exposure to UV rays, but in the USA, where cases of melanoma have actually tripled in the last quarter of a century, an extensive study has shown correlation between that cancer and the pesticides cited above.

Americans don’t like regulation. Given that big chemical companies have manipulated legislators into approving the poison now killing the bee populations upon which our food chain depends, a few hundred thousand painful and potentially fatal melanomas won’t stop the march of progress.

Australian regulators are normally less cavalier with people’s health, but in the matter of farm chemicals they lag far behind European governments, as locals who have tried to limit the use of Monsanto’s glyphosate will testify. The statistical evidence linking this herbicide with cancer, birth defects and neurological disorders is damning – but that doesn’t seem to matter if it’s the cheapest way to keep the weeds down.

The lazy approval of so many carcinogenic substances in agricultural practice contrasts oddly with the frantic rush to ban each new synthetic high as soon as it is created, even though the level of harm is hundreds of times greater in the pesticides.

It suggests that serious preventative action will only occur if psychedelic molecules turn up among the sprays.

n the old days, the Sydney Morning Herald would have begun its editorial on the events of last week with the phrase: ‘It was a sad but wise decision‌’ None but the most viciously partisan will rejoice in the dumping of Julia Gillard, but none but the politically purblind will deny that it was the dumping that Labor had to have. The alternative was a defeat which would cripple the party for the best (or worst) part of a generation, and to avert this disaster to the institution she headed, the queen had to be sacrificed.

Gillard did her best in what were quite literally unprecedented circumstances and achieved some important results – at least, history will recognise their importance. But they were not the results the electorate wanted.

In the end, her best was simply not good enough.

It could be argued that she never really had a chance: from the moment she achieved greatness – or rather, had it thrust upon her – she was carrying three crippling handicaps, none of which she ever entirely surmounted. The first was the very manner of her ascension. Leadership changes are supposed to gradual, visible processes with the challenger stalking the incumbent, manoeuvring, feinting, and calling trial runs for months before the final strike.

This was the way Paul Keating pursued Bob Hawke, or, for that matter, the way Kevin Rudd pursued Julia Gillard. But the 2010 coup was a stab in the back, the supposedly loyal deputy grabbing the job in the wake of a midnight assassination by the mafia. It was never going to be accepted by a large slice of the party and the electorate.

And with it came other baggage. The second problem was that Gillard arrived without an agenda of her own. She had not expected to need one. So for the first period of her always fraught leadership she was reduced to mopping up Rudd’s program and reacting to Tony Abbott’s brutal aggression. And thirdly, she was not equipped for the job; in the fullness of time she might have developed the vision and the political skills required, but in 2010 the Peter Principle still applied: she had been promoted above her abilities.

And, like so many of her pre-

by Mungo MacCallum decessors, in the end she did not know when it was time to leave.

Six months ago it became clear that she could not win; all the public polling was showing that the swing against her government was locked in. Her supporters grasped at the odd rogue result, but then they looked a little like climate change deniers who only accept the aberrations, never the overwhelming evidence. The party’s private polling was even more damning: Gillard herself was the problem – the majority had rejected her.

But there was a chance of redemption: a return to Rudd would put Labor back in the fight. This was the point at which she could have agreed to a smooth and gracious transition; instead, she called an election, or at least named the date. And the party stuck with her – a fair few out of genuine loyalty, but far more from a re-

luctance to go back to Rudd either because they did not like his personality, his style, or his perceived treachery or because they just did not want to admit that they had been wrong in 2010. It took them until it was nearly too late to realise that their stance was not just punishing Rudd: it was punishing their own followers, their party and all that it stood for, and, finally, themselves.

And because the crisis came at the last minute, the consequences were more dramatic than they need have been.

Obviously Gillard’s hardcore

supporters would still have resigned from the ministry, but perhaps they would not have retired from parliament – Craig Emerson in particular was a competent administrator who will be missed. On the other side of the coin Martin Ferguson and Simon Crean might have stayed for another term.

It appears that Stephen Smith and, the biggest loss of all, Greg Combet, may have been planning to go anyway, but the fact that they were caught up in the rush compounds the impression of blood revolution rather than orderly transition. And, let’s face it, bloody revolution was what we got. In the end there was no other choice.

So what now? The logic says that Rudd should do what just about the commentators and the public want, and just get on with it – call the election as

soon as practicable, while the honeymoon is still unsullied by post coitum tristesse. But he has made clear he has no plans to do so; rather than pre-empt Gillard’s date of September 14, he plans to stretch things out beyond it, claiming the need to settle a few policy questions first.

This sounds plausible, but I suspect that there are at least two other reasons for the delay.

The first is simple ego: Rudd reckons he can beat Abbott whenever and wherever, so the question of a honeymoon is irrelevant. But more worryingly, Rudd has form as a prevaricator: the fact that he squibbed calling a double dissolution at the beginning of 2010 was where all the trouble started.

Had he done so he would almost certainly have won it, passed his emissions trading scheme at a joint sitting, and become untouchable. To be fair, it was one of the few times he took advice: Gillard, Wayne Swan, Mark Arbib and Sam Dastyari talked him out of it, and shortly afterwards shafted him more comprehensively.

Rudd is only the fourth of our 27 prime ministers to get a second chance. Before him, Alfred Deakin, Andrew Fisher and Robert Menzies grabbed their opportunities and did great things. Rudd’s course should be clear: certainly it is a time for a bit more consultation, a bit more method, a bit more Mr Nice Guy. But it is not a time for timidity or retreat.

Think of the old school motto: distinction by merit. Rudd is doing it in reverse. He has already been awarded a rare distinction: now he must use it to gain the merit.

Who’s responsible for the world’s refugees?

Q Arnold’s comments (Letters, June 25) are nothing more than an outpouring of hostility and prejudice towards people of Muslim faith.

Sadly, this type of sentiment is rife and commonplace in both Australian media and people’s minds.

The arguments she presents are poorly researched.

In fact, they hark more to her personal stereotyping of this wide-ranging group of people.

Here are some points that readers should consider, which I hope will dispel some myths: UNHCR lists Pakistan, Iran and Syria consecutively as the top three nations hosting the largest refugee populations in the world. Australia is listed at number 47.

There are several major religious groups in Iran. These include Christians, Zoroastrians and Jews, all of which are officially recognised by the government. Interestingly, they also have an elected Jewish representative, Chamad Morsadeghi, in their parliament.

Our basic human rights include the freedom to worship without fear. Muslim communities within Australia are only exercising this right.

The plight of women exists in every community.

We only need to look at the long and brutal history of western nations’ imperialism – which continues under many guises today – to understand how they treat Indigenous nations upon en-

tering their lands.

Finally, I would beseech Arnold and others like her to not be incensed by ‘veiled women in this country’ but rather focus on their own veil of ignorance.

stop conversing with the ‘flat earthers’ on global warming because the science was settled. Not sure if Cr Di Woods has amended her oft-stated sceptical position on the latter subject but she is certainly in ‘flat earth’ territory on the science of rock walls and beach erosion.

Yesterday at low tide the only beach visible was in the narrow corridors protected by geo-bags or left unprotected, it was all gone in front of the illegal rock piles.

Despite her assertion that I am ignorant of the history (Letters, June 25), she is well aware that the geo-bags were only ever intended as interim protection against moderate weather events in the context of Council’s policy of Planned Retreat. In this regard they have served us well and the next generation of bags would do even better.

If drug abuse were treated as a health issue, then the size of police forces could possibly be reduced. How then would governments justify the maintenance of sufficient forces to suppress occasional mass protest movements?

How about making lawn mowing illegal? There would be a continuous demand for dawn raids on garden sheds.

The good work People say ‘Keep up the good work’ and they avidly read my letters, but sometimes I have to wonder why I bother.

For weeks I’ve been pressuring Council to not make changes to rural aspects of the LEP in the absence of meaningful feedback from those affected. It is simply bad governance that Ray Darney is able to select aspects of the Rural Strategy that suit him (and to ignore others that presumably don’t) and to insert them into the Draft LEP for council ratification ie rubberstamping. True, the public were invited to make submissions and a whole two (!) of them did, but they were making submissions to a range

of options already arbitrarily narrowed by Mr Darney.

At last week’s meeting Crs Woods and Ibrahim did express concern about the council’s failure to conduct a review in 2004 when it was due, and Cr Woods also did express sympathy for those in The Pocket area who’d been waiting for 14 years for mooted inclusion in the Rural Strategy, but that was it. They then participated in the unanimous vote to put the changes through as is. Unanimous!

Apparently Crs Woods and Ibrahim thought that

paying lip-service to the concerns raised is enough to nullify those who are upset.

Cr Ibrahim – who within certain parameters is normally astute – suggested that the review should take place, but later. Sol doesn’t understand that such a review would only be of the Rural Strategy and its later versions; strategies, policies and the like are essentially guidelines; the document that really counts is the LEP, which is ironclad law and cannot be challenged in court. Yes, one could later amend the LEP in light of the

ADVERTISEMENT

netdaily.net.au review’s findings, but who’s going to initiate that process, Sol? Certainly not Ray Darney and your councillors.

After watching Council’s performance on this issue (and on the Suffolk Park Telstra tower matter, too) I’m coming to the conclusion that this council is no better than the last, possibly worse in terms of outcomes and certainly worse in terms of idealism. I warn everybody’s friend Simon Richardson that there are deep rumblings of concern about you in Greens circles, mainly along the lines that you give too much to the wrong people for the wrong reasons.

Brutal truths

Will I lose my current support?

Thank you for publishing the article about Australia Post hijacking ANZAC heroism to normalise the abnormal and brutal Israeli occupation (Echo, June 25). Directly linking the Battle of Beersheba with the establishment of the state of Israel is despicable propaganda or what Israel calls hasbara, ie lies.

It is a downright lie that young Australian AIF soldiers who fought, on Palestinian soil alongside Palestinian farmers, died or were injured for an Israel which did not exist.

The Australian government’s attempts to denigrate the non-violent BDS movement and now have a joint project stamping approval on Israel should alert Australians to stand firm on Palestine’s political and human rights under international law.

No. Your current arrangements will stay in place until you have met DisabilityCare Australia to discuss your needs.

Q The Australian government

One scheme.

One focus on individuals.

One commitment to lifelong support.

From 1 July, Australia’s current support system for people living with disability is being progressively replaced with DisabilityCare Australia. This new scheme will help provide a better quality of life for Australians with a significant and permanent disability, and for their families and carers too.

What’s new about DisabilityCare Australia?

DisabilityCare Australia is a new way of funding personalised support for people with disability. As well as looking at a person’s immediate needs, it will take a lifelong approach and enable people with disability to have choice and control over their supports. It will focus on early intervention, recognising that timely support can minimise the impact of a disability on individuals, families and carers. Assistance will be provided at the right time, rather than only once people reach crisis.

Who is eligible?

DisabilityCare Australia will help people who have a significant and permanent disability and who need assistance with everyday activities. This includes people whose disabilities are attributed to intellectual, cognitive, neurological, sensory, or physical impairment, or a psychiatric condition.

Will it affect my Disability Support Pension?

No. Your Disability Support Pension will not be affected.

When does it all begin?

DisabilityCare Australia is being rolled out in stages because it is a big change to the current system.

should be congratulated for referring Japan’s ‘whaling research’ to the International Court of Justice (ICJ). Australia’s decision is courageous in light of how important our relationship with Japan is. For example, Japan is our second largest trading partner with merchandise exports in 2010–2011 of $47 billion and the importance of our defence relationship underscored in 2007 by the Joint Declaration on Security Cooperation.

When Australia turns to Israel, however, its courage wavers even though our trade is about 74 times smaller than that with Japan and we have no defence relationship to speak of. In 2004 the ICJ declared Israel’s security barrier (Apartheid Wall to the Palestinians) illegal and the UN General Assembly voted unanimously to accept Resolution ES-10/15 condemning the barrier.

Five years ago, the then NSW Labor government (Obeid and mates) stole the Brunswick Heads caravan parks from Byron Shire Council and re-directed the revenue that once went to our local infrastructure (libraries, child care, roads etc) into NSW State Revenue. This was a theft of around two million dollars a year from the local community.

The local community and Byron Shire Council vigor-

ously objected to these totally unlawful actions. They would not put up with the theft of a town’s best public land so it could become private resorts that would block locals from their parks, walking tracks and swimming spots.

Obviously outside the law, the NSW government offered over $3 million for around ten large parcels of riverside land (worth easily more like 20 million) so it could be rezoned and ‘privatise’. Council steadfastly refused to sell this priceless community asset so it could remain for the use of all. The NSW government in response used their powers of compulsory acquisition and ‘acquired’ this land from the local community and we got zippo.

It is very grubby indeed for

North Coast Holiday Parks to claim they are such a financial godsend for us all when the government has deprived the local community of millions of dollars in revenue.

A few months back North Coast Holiday Parks closed off a public road to one of Brunswick’s two public boat ramps and claimed it as their own. They are now advertising Ferry Reserve as the ‘North Coast’s only Caravan Park with its own private Boat Ramp!’ Fed up, a group of local residents removed the portable road block and deposited it at Council’s front door. Some of this group have since been charged with offences including ‘disposal of stolen goods’. This is a ridiculous charge against a group of ordinary local residents

Federated States of Micronesia, the Marshall Islands, Palau and Australia voted against the resolution.

There can be no doubt that Australia was fully aware of the dreadful impact of the wall on every aspect of the daily lives of Palestinians and there can be no doubt about Australia’s commitment to international law. Unlike the

US and Israel we signed up to the ICJ in 2002. No doubt, Australia probably reneged on its commitment to principles of justice and humanitarian concern because of US pressure in support of Israel.

In regard to whaling, the US does not appear to have influenced Australia’s decision to go after Japan. Perhaps the US and Australia think

whales are more important than Palestinians.

(most over 50) but obviously someone is desperate to stop any displays of public outrage against NCHP. Surely, one must question whether the accuser in this situation should in fact be the accused, and who is actually stealing from whom?

Brunswick (and Shire) residents are progressively being fenced off from their best public parks and river access.

They now find themselves before the courts charged with theft after their public assets have been stolen from them.

The bloodless coup I have in mind for Canberra Michael McDonald

W

asn’t that a big hit-up in the State of Origin last Wednesday night? Kevin Rudd came from nowhere with a flying head-high tackle which almost took Julia Gillard’s head off. It was frightening. Greg Inglis was cowering on the sideline at the brutality of it all.

Hey, weren’t they supposed to be playing for the same team? In a desperate bid to stave off defeat by a Catholic zealot and his deputy with the burnished rictus, the federal Labor party decided to cannibalise itself, eat its young and stack lies upon porkies in an orgy of justification. Perhaps the self-obsessed Rudd, trailing clouds of logorrhoea, can get the electorate to look up from Master Chef long enough to vote him in but was so much carnage and confusion necessary?

Where did it all go wrong?

I like to blame the politicians themselves because it is faster and easier but with a diploma in psychology from the Piers Akerman College of Onanism it is my duty to

drill down deeper. There is a pointless closed loop of media commentary, PR minders feeding the commentary 24/7, and polls. No politician should pay any attention to that crap. Polls are simply there to keep pollsters in long lunches. PR minders are a waste of oxygen, especially Gillard’s chief shill, who put her off her main game and apparently vented the F word at journos on a regular basis – that’s helpful? And as for the media, a lot of the journos are like amoeba responding to drops of acid – no time for reflection. And some of the reporters yelling dumb questions to Labor’s election officer the other night should never be allowed near a microphone. To use the current vernacular, this whole cycle is a recipe for circle jerks and cluster fucks.

But that’s not the main problem. It’s the electorate.

It can be convinced of any amount of bullshit by politicians and shock jocks. It’s all too hard to do a little research when it’s a choice between psephology and footy. Bugger the climate, where’s my next X-Box coming from? Some

of the punters interviewed on Wednesday in Rudd’s and Gillard’s electorates had yet to figure out how to put on a pair of pants, let alone exercise their democratic responsibility to vote some lumbering dinosaur party into power.

But let’s not stop there in our research. I blame the teachers – lessons in logic, anyone? I blame the parents. I blame the abundance of testosterone in male primates. I blame the Big Bang for spreading hydrogen about willy-nilly.

Oh hell, there is no easy

answer, so I’ve decided to stage the bloodless coup I’ve been planning all my life. The tanks I acquired from saving the coupons on Lan-Choo tea packets will be rolling into Canberra tomorrow, scaring bureaucrats who’ve never seen anything more frightening than a burnt focaccia.

The troops I’ve gathered from crack dens and meth labs will be taking over major installations, their wild eyes and grubby clothes making resistance seem futile. Newspapers and radio stations will be closed down and the report-

ers sent out to clean latrines.

(Except for Annabel Crabb.

She will be made head chef and chief adviser to the supreme leader.)

Oh, and Kevin and Tony will be sent to live in an underground home at White Cliffs, where they will be required to play endless games of Gin Rummy. See more at www.australianpictorials. com/white_cliffs.html.

My edicts will take effect immediately. Reality TV shows will be banned, especially those involving food, weight loss or renovation.

Reading books with words of two syllables or more will be compulsory. All churches will be closed but people will be free to worship the Flying Spaghetti Monster (venganza. org) in their own homes. All door-to-door religious or power company canvassers will be shot.

The current free-market system will be abolished and citizens will be issued with food coupons redeemable at farmers’ markets. The only unit of currency will be the Duck – not an actual duck, mind you – which will get you wine, cheese and books at government stores. You will earn big ducks by working at the weaving looms and factories creating the national uniform – choice of either green or offgreen; lycra is right out of the question – which will replace all the sweatshop garments currently produced by subsidised colour-blind couturiers.

Mistakes will be made; I mean, the economy is, like, complicated. But the mistakes will be all mine. I might take responsibility for some of them. I might even apologise. But there’s nothing you can do to get rid of me.

continued from page 12 After howls of complaints, the lights were turned back on some 15 minutes later.

Why did this happen?

Council had decided that because Shores United no longer had a women’s team which plays Friday nights, the lights could just be switched off. At no stage was there any consultation with the club prior to this council staff decision.

The operation of the lights at Tom Kendall Oval has been changed from an easy manual application to a complex system where a text to a mobile number has to be sent to turn the lights on or off. Again, at no stage was there any consultation with the club prior to this council staff decision.

I contacted the Byron Shire GM on four separate occasions last week re the lights. I

left messages with his staff, but at no stage were my calls returned. In practice the system doesn’t work and there is a 17 minute delay from when the lights are ‘texted’ off, to when they actually are off. This is not only annoying to some locals but also will cost our small club a fortune in electricity that we aren’t using.

In reality, it amounts to yet another piece of Council harassment with respect to the Ocean Shores soccer club and the long-suffering people of Ocean Shores. You might be wondering why we don’t have a women’s team any more at Ocean Shores. The team,

which had played junior soccer at Ocean Shores since they were small children, were forced to move to Mullumbimby because the club cannot ensure their safety, as the girls aged 15 to 18 had to undress and change on the field, in full view. Despite numerous council promises, 15 years on, we still have no change rooms.

Ocean Shores residents represent 30 per cent of the ratepayers of Byron Shire. I urge you all to stand up and demand some long overdue sports facilities.

n an instant, I sense a change in the air and light at the edge of the sea. I change, too. I was plodding along but now I am alert, in a different mode. I throw open my attention to the whole moment and open the shutter on the camera.

Am I plodding partly in response to mid-winter, preoccupied with dark and cold? Or is it also a response to being midway in a threeyear research project about the sea? There is so much to think about. There’s something else too: thinking about thinking itself. Sometimes I think everyone has their own body of thoughts and each body takes differently to three basic types of movements.

The first type is like set routines. This unselfconscious movement is mixed with and directed by hidden emotions. You sense this when someone is talking at you, with more heat than the discussion warrants.

Neuroscientists use imaging techniques to literally picture this mental movement.

There’s the study of staunch US Republicans and Democrats as they responded to political campaign messages.

Their brain imaging pictures (MRI) showed the dominant response centres were those areas known for pre-set automatic thinking, not fresh logical thinking.

Out of boxes The second type is like the physical challenge of getting out of boxes – or into them.

Logical thinking, moving without emotion, paying very close attention, figuring out puzzles.

The third thinking is like

Sleep researchers such as Hobson and Fritson describe dreaming as a virtual world, the result of our minds doing a certain type of thinking. Artists such as Caiseal Mor and sages in many of the world’s traditions describe being in dreams as visiting alternate worlds. the kind of dancing you do when no one is watching. Again and again, it asks ‘why‌?’ and answers itself with ‘because‌’. It heads somewhere it feels and hopes.

The flow of its movements fills relationships and dreams.

Dreams, like relationships, are sources of meaning. The thinking in our dreams creates mysteries of us even as it may explain.

But, in the words of Dr Rubin Naiman, its process throughout the nightly rhythms of sleep is ‘a kind of psychological yoga that expands constricted consciousness’. He cites research that links depression and insomnia with badly managed sleep and broken dreaming.

He recommends we approach sleep and its dreams with the same mindfulness that we give to the waking world.

Sleep researchers such as Hobson and Fritson describe dreaming as a virtual world, the result of our minds doing a certain type of thinking. Artists such as Caiseal Mor and sages in many of the world’s traditions describe being in dreams as visiting alternate worlds.

Although these perspectives differ somewhat, they all offer a similar possibility.

heard before: ‘as above, so below’.

This is a very old phrase, reappearing in many dream traditions and writings. It’s sometimes stated ‘as within, so without’.

If I say to you, ‘oh, the sheen of sky was on the film of sea water as it seeped into the top layer of sand’, you may nod tolerantly. ‘Thrilled again with the logic of science, are you?’ But with this photo and few words, perhaps you too feel that shift and briefly enter my salt dream.

We can become skilled and insightful in dreaming, same as we can in being awake.

Dream journal To gain such skill, there are many small practices. For me, these seem sensible ways of exercising that third kind of thinking. One is keeping a dream journal and collecting quotes and readings about dreaming. Another is respecting daydreams, both my own and those of others. Every now and then, a dream can be helped into coming true.

One special practice is to ask a significant question before sleep. Many people report gaining insight later that night from dreaming that seems especially vivid and apt. Others say this happens more clearly in that space/ time known as ‘hypnopompic’ (when leaving sleep).

With practice, hypnopompia can be deliberately lengthened and deepened.

Is this a way to befriend the darkness of winter? Can we exercise thinking and learn to easily shift from one style of consciousness to another? When I say my own plodding broke, my thinking loosened. I was seeing all around me what I had often

The terror lives on after leaving the battle Exit Wounds: One Australian’s War on Terror by Maj-Gen John Cantwell, Random House, pb $34.99 Review by Russell Eldridge

The ancient Egyptians recorded cases; it was there at Thermopylae; it shadowed the conquering Roman legions, and shivered at Little Big Horn. Call it what you will – battle fatigue, shell shock, or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder – it’s been around as long as men have lifted a hand in anger against each other.

Which begs the question: why hasn’t it always been recognised as the sane reaction of a normal person to horror, particularly the horrors of war? More specifically, we can ask why a high-ranking officer in the modern Australian Army is told he is just ‘down in the mouth’ and he should ‘think of pleasant things before going to sleep’ when he first seeks treatment for what is obviously PTSD? Because that is what happened to John Cantwell after a tour of duty in the 1991 Gulf War. He suppressed his trauma and went on to become

Deputy Chief of the Army, and Commander of all Australian forces in Afghanistan and the Middle East. He was a Major General and in line for Chief of the Army before the years of anxiety, flashbacks and nightmares brought it all crashing down.

But it’s the basic questions that keep bugging a reader throughout this searing, honest and unsettling book. Why does the military culture continue to abhor a normal human reaction, and why the hell do we continue to fight each other, anyway, knowing the appalling results for victor and vanquished alike?

Maj Gen Cantwell finally decided it all wasn’t worth it. And this is a man who loved the military life.

There really is no excuse to the unanswered big questions. Wartime PTSD was an acknowledged problem in the first modern conflict, the US Civil War, in which rapid-fire weapons and delayed explosion artillery shells sowed unimaginable havoc. The US lost more men in the Civil War (625,000) than in all the combined conflicts since then (World War I, WWII, Korea, Vietnam etc).

Maj-Gen John Cantwell.

Thousands of gibbering men were simply put on trains with the name of their home town pinned on their uniform and abandoned.

At war’s peak, there were so many insane soldiers wandering the US countryside that a public outcry led to the first hospital for the military insane.

But no one learnt from it and in the human mincing machine of World War I, soldiers who broke down were sometimes shot for cowardice. Research by the Vietnam Veterans of America association revealed that more US WWI sol-

diers were lost through psychological disintegration than were killed in combat.

So what did military cultures around the world do about it? They treated it as a character defect and tried in advance to weed out the ‘weak’. The US rejected five million men in WWII, but still lost half a million to PTSD. I guess we have to wonder why John Cantwell signed up to this madness. But that question encompasses every man and woman in uniform and is unfathomable. By his own admission, Cantwell was itching to prove himself in combat and went to extreme lengths to get involved in the First Gulf War, even getting a secondment to the British Army. His combat experiences weren’t extreme, but he saw enough to rock his inner core.

He sat on his anxiety for 13 years before going back to Iraq for another go. He hoped he could ‘purge the demons’, but they really came alive this time as sectarian violence and Iraqi political machinations made his job near impossible.

But still he ploughed on, ending

up in charge of things in Afghanistan. And to his troubles he added guilt over soldier deaths.

It is now on record that Major General Cantwell unravelled on returning to Australia, where, under the peculiar arrangements in the Army, the higher you go the less certain your job. And if you can’t snare the one or two top positions available, it’s hand your badge in and cheerio.

Cantwell left, hit the bottom, contemplated suicide and was kept going by a loving family and medical help. Now, like an alcoholic clawing his way back, he takes it one day at a time.

He believes the loss of Australian lives in Afghanistan is not worth it and he rails against the political power plays and national self-interest that drag us into foreign wars.

And yet...

And yet the reader may come full circle to those unanswerable big questions again about men, war and military cultures.

For Cantwell’s oldest son is a soldier.

And so it continues.

Byron Bay Writers’ Festival cleans up the spill Another tumultuous week in the circus that is Australian politics and the Byron Bay Writers’ Festival is poised to analyse much of the action.

From August 2 to 4 , a posse of political journalists will gather in the main marquees of the Byron Bay Writers’ Festival and conversations will be intense. Said Festival Director Jeni Caffin: ‘The Byron Bay Writers’ Festival deals as much in the real issues of the day, as it does in the realm

of imagination. Mind you, it would be hard to imagine the events that have transpired in our nation’s capital. Maybe in a David Baldacci thriller, but this is a case of fact trumping fiction.’

The keynote conversation of the Festival takes place Friday August 2, when Kerry O’Brien sits down with Simon Crean. ‘This was always going to be a fascinating conversation, but the stakes are suddenly much higher,’ said

Caffin. The inside story continues to unfold when Kerry’s next conversational partner, Maxine McKew, discusses her extraordinarily frank account of party warfare in Tales from the Political Trenches. After winning a spectacular victory against John Howard in 2007, McKew was one of the bleeding casualties of the doomed 2010 election campaign, after which Labor was decimated and forced into minority government.

The back cover blurb on McKew’s take-no-prisoners book asks ‘What the hell happened?’, and this forms the subject of a blockbuster panel on Saturday August 3, when Kevin Rudd’s former speech writer James Button joins respected veteran journalist Craig McGregor, Maxine McKew and Canberra correspondent and Insiders regular Karen Middleton to dissect Labor’s descent into the badlands. Mungo MacCallum will chair: expect dissent, debate and drama aplenty.

Moving away from politics, the book provoking controversy and furore across media is Anne Summers’ The Misogyny Factor. Dr Summers has worked as a senior bureaucrat and political advisor and in 2012, gave two landmark speeches about women in Australia, attract-

After a spectacular victory against John Howard in 2007, McKew was one of the bleeding casualties of the doomed 2010 election campaign, after which Labor was forced into minority government. ing more than 120,000 visits to her website. She is formidable, outspoken and on the money, dismissing the idea

that we should celebrate progress for women, as opposed to outright success. In conversation with journalist

George Megalogenis, Anne Summers will show us what success will look like. A Friday marquee session.

Journeying to the Festival from mid-west USA is former CIA agent Glenn Carle.

His book The Interrogator is a memoir to stop you in your tracks!

After decades as a CIA operative, Carle was suddenly recruited to the position of interrogator and commissioned to interview, and break, a man suspected of being Osama Bin Laden’s banker.

Despite Carle realising quickly that this was a false assumption and the man, who had been kidnapped, rendered and tortured, being nowhere near the upper echelons of Al Qaida, the CIA persisted with the operation and removed Carle from the case.

Listen to him in conversation with former Sydney Writers’ Festival director Chip Rolley, and in what promises to be a devastating pairing with the former commander of the Australian forces in Afghanistan, John Cantwell, whose Exit Wounds is reviewed on this page.

TO DATE ASH GRUNWALD IS A BLOKE WHO’S MADE MUSIC ON HIS OWN AND ON HIS OWN TERMS. BUT THERE’S BEEN A THOUGHT TAPPING ON THE CREATIVE MIND OF MR GRUNWALD WHO THOUGHT PERHAPS THAT TWO-THIRDS OF THE LIVING END COULD BE HIS BAND ON MORE THAN JUST A SINGLE. WELL THE PLANETS ALIGNED AND THE GUYS BASHED OUT AN ALBUM. AND HEREIN LIES THE STORY OF GARGANTUA! ’The whole thing of being the king of your own musical fiefdom is that you can do what you want. It’s been part of my schtick. I have always rolled onto stage and not known what I was going to play first. I’ve taken that approach to who I’m going to play with. I think the stronger sense of musical self you have the more you can do that. This time I’ve gone electric. It’s rocky. I wasn’t expecting that.’ Creating Gargantua was a lot of fun for Grunwald. ’I am playing with a character drummer. Andy (Strachan) is the biggest drummer in the biggest band in the country. I don’t have to tell him what to do. I am into it because I have asked for their flavour. It’s not a session with paid musicians

– we are in each others band, and it’s gone really well. We did a cover of Crazy to promote the tour and it got picked up on commercial radio and I’ve never had that before. We basically went straight to a recording studio and recorded this album!’

I don’t think I have over-indulged!’

’I am really proud of it.’ Grunwald admits that it’s not in his usual style, that he’d always opted for restraint, and the lessis-more approach.

Ash believes that not enough people are getting behind the message, neither do they really understand the longterm impacts of CSG on communities.

One of Grunwald’s most powerful tracks is Last Stand, a song about what he has witnessed first hand in the outskirts of Tara in Southwestern Qld, where CSG mining has given rise to health problems, and environmental impacts.

’I really loved the old black blues players and I loved Albert King, BB King, and I have been concentrating on playing fewer notes for my solo show for a decade so I played without bass players. If I did impro, it would be short, or using rhythmic patterns. So doing this album was like getting back to mega younger and playing with little threepieces and doing guitar riffage‌’

’I have really good friends who are intelligent nice people – very compassionate, who tick all the boxes but they are not really interested in the CSG issue at all. People, I guess as humans we are pretty selfish, and just interested in ourselves. In my last album I wrote a song with a chorus like that, asking where are people when you need them, but I’ve been as guilty as anyone. I have always paid lipAsh Grunwald proves in this punchy new offering that you service, I have done charity gigs and all those things that don’t need a huge line up to get a big sound. have cleansed my conscience, but I am going out on the ’The words they used to use were power trio, Hendrix, Stevie campaign trail. I am making a film so I can show people what is happening first hand.’ Ray Vaughn. I guess it all went wrong after that. There were guys riffing for far too long. I have always been restrained.

GENDER CARDS NOW OFF THE AGENDA This week the world waved goodbye to Australia’s first woman prime minister. In her farewell speech she acknowledged the impact of her gender on her ability to serve in the role of PM. She declared that her gender ’meant neither everything about her prime ministership nor did it mean nothing about her prime ministership.’ As a pioneer for women in Australian politics she also noted that she realised her time as PM made it easier for any other woman who was to follow.

I hope she’s right. The tirade of degrading sexist banter with reference to Gillard has been difficult to stomach. In fact newspapers around the world are asking the question: ’Is Australia sexist?’ Yes. Yes it is.

Up until the late 80s, parliament was very much the domain of men. In fact Ros Kelly was the first federal MP to give birth while in office. When she walked into parliament she was one of only three women. Prior to that there had been none. As she took up a seat next to one of her own party members he welcomed her with ’Geez, it’s bad enough they’re letting sheilas in, but I have to sit next to one.’

At a recent fundraising dinner for Liberal National Party candidate Mal Brough in the menu description of Moroccan Quail the PM was denigrated with ’Julia Gillard Kentucky Fried Quail – small breasts, huge thighs and a big red box’. I note that no Labor dinner featured a description of Abbott Chicken, a disappointing overcooked cock.

It is okay to satirise one’s politicians, but to use gender to incite ridicule is blatant misogyny. Then there was the shock jock Howard Sattler who asked the PM if her partner Tim Mathieson, a hairdresser, was gay. This is a profoundly bigoted question. For a start I would expect members of SHAG to rise up (Straight Hairdressers Against Gay Stereotypes), as it implies that all men in the hairdressing profession are gay. My partner is a male nurse.

I am a loudmouth pain in the arse. He must be gay too.

Powerful childless women with supportive husbands in lesser professions must be living a lie. It would appear that we Australians were not ready for a childless atheist woman to be in the top job. Such colourful displays of

sexism in just one month. Let’s not forget the Women’s Weekly cover that depicted Gillard knitting and the subsequent media bashing she got for daring to be depicted in such a homely setting.

Howard was allowed to jog, Hawkey went to the race track and Abbott likes to cycle to unwind, yet the former PM came under fire for being photographed performing what is perceived as unvalued, trivial ’women’s work’. The public reaction was further proof of Australian misogyny, that a woman who knits, who indulges in the modest craft handed down by our grandmothers, is not fit to hold high office.

Since her world-famous misogyny speech that went viral last year Gillard has been accused by commentators and the opposition of playing ’the gender card’. That was the most sexist and most repeated statement of all.

To imply that gender is a card that women use as some sort of evil trick to gain the upper hand when playing on an equal playing field doesn’t work.

Let’s get this straight. It’s never been an equal playing field. And gender is not a card.

When does this ever apply to a man? It doesn’t, because maleness is the status quo, particularly in politics. Who dares to diminish the struggle women have had to face in making their way into the public urinals of male power by referring to the bullshit Gillard has faced (and I’ve documented just one month of it) as ’a gender card’. Do disabled people also have these cards? Black people? Gay people?

When we marginalise a group who then stand up and speaks out do we then say ’look, stop playing the race card’. Or ’So what if you are in a wheelchair and the vote asked for standing members – you’re playing the disabled card’. These are not cards. They do not get played for advantage.

These are issues that get raised about disadvantage, and I for one resent the trivialisation by bigoted white men who minimise generations or centuries of oppression to a card game.

God help us if Penny Wong ever makes it to PM; then she’ll be accused of using the ’Gay Card, The Race Card and The Woman Card.’ Now that’s a lay down misere.

So thank you, Julia Gillard, for not just being our first female prime minister, but for having the courage to put gender on the agenda.

Okay girls, back to the kitchen.

Free comedy

Open mic at the Courthouse in Mullumbimby is one of bentest nights in town. Last month when Nick Sun fronted the stand-up comedy open mic room he declared ’this is the most fun gig I’ve had since I’ve been back in Australia!’ After a year in LA, he believed no-one has it on Mullumbimby – we are way out there!

s r a t S WITH LILITH Three major planets in sensitive, securityconscious Cancer kick start an emotional month which is less about radical change, more concerned with regrouping and consolidation…

E ARIES: With everyone thin-skinned and easily offended, your straightforward communication style could be problematic this week, so if you’re unable to offer something with good grace best refrain before attracting the inevitable consequence. And don’t worry, the coming month offers many other avenues for self expression.

F TAURUS: With disruptions, holdups, slowdowns and changed arrangements Mercury retrograde’s major flavour, Tauran calm could really help soothe this week’s edgy, antsy citizens. Helping others takes the focus off your fretting about own woes, then before long you’ve moved on and they’re no longer current.

G GEMINI: If Mercury retro misunderstandings cause suspicion, mistrust and friction this week, remember communication’s the name of Gemini’s game and get your facts straight to avoid uncomfortable surprises.

There’s always more than one side to a situation as you know, so forget drastic tactics – focus on relationship repairs.

H CANCER: This Cancerian happy birthday week’s blessed

by Jupiter in your sign promising an expansive year on all levels: social, financial and personal. Waistline as well, unless you restrain the comfort indulging. Your least rewarding strategy right now is being uncooperative, and your most effective’s diversifying.

Mungo’s Crossword

I L EO: If the fun factor takes a plunge this week, Venus in Leo crowns you arbitrator, negotiator, peace maker and ambassador of optimism to the stressed and distressed. Dramas, temper tantrums and outbursts all take to this week’s stage, but why engage in amateur theatrics? Leos are professionals.

J VIRGO: When Mercury retrogrades it’s always good to review your priorities and assess the direction your life’s taking. Are you on track, or could course corrections be in order? If certain friends, groups or behaviours no longer suit you, then you know what you need to do.

K L IBRA: If this week’s people are hard to please, stop trying till they’re more reasonable. Be selective about what you share and choosy who you hang out with.

Stay away from activities that drain you. Say no to exhausters, whingers and grizzlers. Do what lifts your spirits.

L SCORPIO: Dummy spits, grumbling, unpredictable behaviour, defensive reactions, missed appointments, misplaced objects… what’s good about this week?

While some players may leave your life, fortunately nature hates a vacuum, so don’t fret about refills. Or underestimate the value of little gifts and affectionate words to soothe agitated moods.

This month Mandy Nolan is the MC with a host of new names on the open mic including four emerging comics from Brisbane, keen to share their fast and furious five. Be there from 8pm on Thursday 4 July at the Courthouse in Mullumbimby. Free!

Mantra Dance Melbourne-based kirtan dance band Mantra Dance is a bliss-filled session of singing and dancing in the space of the heart. Ecstatic chant merges with ecstatic dance as you move to the sounds of ancient mantra and the rhythm of divine music, driven by the amazing beats of Roderick McLeod from Full Circle Drumming along with Chakradhyan from the Chant Cartel on lead vocals and harmonium.

Mantra Dance will be supported by local guest musicians and the wonderful Mel Dobra. Chai and cake available.

M S AGITTARIUS: It’s a hard ask for fire signs to be patient with this week’s forgetfulness and apparent lack of respect. You’ll do that best by unravelling mixed messages and, as always, self-censoring will save you a truckload of trouble. Support’s plentiful from friends and former connections resurfacing unexpectedly.

N CAPRICORN: This week’s emphasis is on family, and loved ones being who they are (ie not always inclined to see things your way), reason and logic aren’t the most effective way of communicating – try empathy, rapport and understanding. Turn inward for answers rather than outward for more information.

O AQUARIUS: If breakups or breakdowns reach breaking point this week, see it as a breakthrough.

Aquarians don’t have the emotional resilience of other signs so if meltdown occurs, allow a cooling off period – like sediment settling in a glass of water which clarifies once you let it rest.

P P ISCES: If others set a punishing pace or stressful agendas this week, exercise your Piscean water magic to move them into cruise control. Be patient with questions that seem slow to resolve. Request but don’t press – answers will be evident when everyone involved is able to live with them.

New World Symphony by Antonin Dvořák plus: Georges Bizet – Carmen Suite no. 1 Leo Delibes – Excerpts from Coppelia Suite Antonin Dvořák – Humoreske and of course!...

ECHO BEACH LENNOXHEADJULY4TH-9TH

OzGromOpen 2013 Echo Beach caught up with Jonny Hewitt from Le-Ba Boardriders for a rundown on the Skullcandy Oz Grom Open The SkullCandy OZ Grom Open was founded in 2012 by the Le-ba boardriders. Our objective for this event was to offer an exciting and innovative contest of the highest standards that had never been seen before in junior surfing.

All over the world. Last year’s 16/u winner, Leo Fioravanti, is from Italy, and we have competitors from NZ, Japan and Polynesian islands. There are surfers in each division that will draw the crowds.

The Skullcandy Oz Grom Open provides new criteria that have been developed exclusively for the event by Mr Pritamo Andreht, current Australian surfing professional head judge. These criteria have not been used in any junior surfing event anywhere in the world. These criteria ensure we will see the most exciting surfing possible!

Who are the judges?

The judging panel comprises current ASP and WQS judges with a revolutionary new computerised scoring and reporting system allowing us to update competitors and spectators with instant scores.

His antagonist rides – it goes without saying – a crow (are they typecast birds or what?).

MK becomes involved in their activities after she is shrunk to the size of the littlies when the woodland queen, before she dies, bequeaths a magic bud to her. MK predictably falls for a leaf-boy as Armageddon looms. The animation is lush and dreamlike, to the point of being soporific, with MK’s three-legged mutt stealing the show. ~ John Campbell

entire cities being pulverised.

In this, the protracted and exhausting fighting, shooting and CGI-created explosions are outdone only by stressful and stupefying dreariness.

A needlessly long prologue, marred by jittery, hand-held camera and passages of dialogue so banal that they make Russell Crowe look like a talking totem pole, tells us more than we really need to know about the last days of Krypton. It is established that General Zod (Michael Shannon) is the vengeful villain and that the baby Kal-El, ie Superman, has been launched into space by his parents (Crowe and Ayelet Zurerer) as the dying planet’s last free-born survivor. Fate has him land on the Kansas farm of doughty ol’ Kevin Costner (he could hardly lob in China or Africa, could he) and grow up to be the gorgeous Henry Cavill, with pecs to die for.

Numerous time jumps take

us to episodes in young Clark Kent’s adolescence – saving a busload of school children was my favourite – before we get to what the ’story’ is all about.

Zod and his meanies come to Earth to find our hero and the codex that holds the secret to their continued existence.

By this time, Lois Lane (Amy Adams) has discovered Clark and is reporting his activities to

her boss, Perry White (Laurence Fishburne) – the mystery of Superman’s identity is never an issue – as hell is unleashed on the eyes and ears of the audience. Along with a touch of the messianic and a mandatory reference to 9/11, everything bar Maxwell Smart’s cone of silence is thrown into the mix. Sadly, there is no Jimmy Olsen. Awful. ~ John Campbell

Trance

Fashions come and go in the cinema, but some things have proved to be as regular and reliable as Black Caviar. The minute that Rosario Dawson appeared as a Harley Street hypnotherapist, modestly dressed in colourless slacks and long-sleeved blouse, with her hair pulled back tightly, I thought to myself ‘I wonder when she’s going to get her gear off?’ And sure enough… we had to wait a little bit longer than normal for the bankable sex scene, but Rosario’s voluptuous full-frontal nudity only served to undermine the hypercranial pretentions of yet another trendy brain-strain concoction. Or, as director Danny Boyle might argue, ‘a bit of soft porn goes a long way’. It is impossible to watch this without thinking of Christopher Nolan’s Inception, a film most slavishly praised by those who had no idea of what it was about – the goal usually striven for by French philosophers. A rare Goya has been offered for sale at the London auction house where Simon (James McAvoy) works. A gang of art thieves led by Franck (Vincent Cassel) pull off a daring raid in which Simon takes an amnesia-inducing blow to the head – and the masterpiece goes missing. Elizabeth (Dawson), more willing than you might expect from a doctor of such high standing, then gets involved with the crooks in unraveling Simon’s suppressed memory and locating the canvas. Boyle goes beyond traditional sleight of hand in creating his mystery, preferring the cheap option of withholding too much in order to impress with the surprise ending.

McAvoy never looks comfortable in the part as he struggles to get a handle on just who exactly Simon is, while Cassel cruises through the mire with frosty Gallic detachment – even when he gets half of his skull blown away. For all its labyrinthine plotting, what we are left with is yet more tits’n’arse and violence, supplemented by a lot of very loud music intended to pump up the stress and excitement.

If you are happy to equate complexity with profundity, you’ll love it. ~ John Campbell

The truth has consequences.

You have written about the trading room floor for your main character Faith McCormack – did you have to research or did you have some experience? Some experience, some research. I did some Options trading when I left Shell. I was good at identifying trades but not so good at managing them once I was in. It was expensive research for the book (can I claim it as an expense maybe?)

Are you back on track with pursuing a film script government in exile and His Holiness’s representatives here now? Maybe TV? You know they now say that TV is the new in Australia. In 2008, through the Dalai Lama in Australia film as it’s more interesting, complex, tells better stories… organisation, a copy of the script was given to His Holiness.

After writing my first book Leaving Neverland (Why Little Boys What was your inspiration for writing this book? It seems Shouldn’t Run Big Companies) I knew that I could and should you had a deeper motivation running rather than just write it as a novel. I did and the process of converting the script a rollicking good narrative? I have been fascinated by to a novel really improved the story. I found my prophecy reincarnation and I initially played with the idea of someone which I had referred to in the script but I had never cracked trying to leave their money to themselves and they came back the actual words which always annoyed me ’When the Dakini and they had a birthmark map etc and they were all men. marked by the tear of the dragon is found by her mirror the It was schlocky crap but it opened the door for me to learn chains of the dragon will melt from the land of snows.’ more about reincarnation, Tibet and Tibetan Buddhism and I thought wouldn’t it be great if it was not just about money but How is the book being received? The book is getting great reviews.

my gift. I absolutely love what I do, and I keep creating, and producing works about the human condition. I deeply care about my work, and understand the power of theatre, of storytelling.

I have travelled the world with this show, changing many lives. I have presented on the best stages, through small communities who are disadvantaged to presenting in prisons. I have made friendships across the world, I have sat and listened to thousands of stories. I didn’t get time to think if I could do it, I just did it. I had to be brave. I took on a huge responsibility.

How do you approach I Don’t Wanna Play House each time you run – do you have any way of preparing? I prepare myself by keeping very fit and healthy, both physically and mentally. I have to keep my voice strong and ready.

I eat well. I meditate, do yoga and have joined a gym. I swim, I walk. I stay positive in my head. My warm-up is full of stretching, and preparing my body for the show. I roll around on the stage, making sure every inch of me touches the floor! I play 16 characters with no props, no set. I mentally take myself through the journey.

I sing every favourite song on my iPod... (loud) and engage with every pocket of my soul. I awaken all senses.

I am present in my performance, very ready.

I have the biggest adrenalin rush every single show. It’s always as if it’s the first time. It’s addictive! I am well-prepared. I want my performance to be the best, every time.

ABOUT YOUR CUSTOMERS Are your customers mostly local or tourists? Mostly local and the tourists that find us are friends of the locals.

Why do you think people come to your restaurant rather than another? The freshness of the food, the price and the friendly and casual atmosphere.

How do you cater for diners with special requirements such as  vegetarians, vegans and celiacs? We cater for vegetarian and celiac with our regular and specials menu.

There are a couple of vegan dishes, but we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t advertise as a special diet cafĂŠ. You cannot please everyone and you would go broke trying.

Is there any feedback that your customers consistently give you? Most of our customers love us and a lot come every day, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best feedback you can get!

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What is better than a

cuddly black kitten?

The answer, of course, is two black kittens! Here we have friends Felix and Tweety, full of hope that they will be adopted.

Apart from their different and interesting personalities, they share the qualities of fun, curiosity and friendliness. Both are very adaptable and smoochy to both people and other cats.

All cats are desexed, vaccinated and microchipped.

Penny

Penny is a sweet girl, 8 years young!

Unfortunately this is the second time around for her as she has been surrendered back into our care as her owner sadly passed away.

She has white whiskers on one side of her face and black on the other, making her pretty looks very distinctive.

No cat deserves to come to a shelter but to end up in one twice is very sad.

Penny really needs a forever home where she can feel safe, loved & cherished. Come and meet her and let her steal your heart.

To meet Penny & our other lovely cats, visit the Cat Adoption Centre at 124 Dalley St, Mullumbimby.

Mixed Greens: CEFC focuses on efficiency Staff reporters at Reneweconomy.com.au

July 1: The Clean Energy Finance Corporation’s first publicly revealed investment is a $50 million contribution to a $100 million loan program with the Commonwealth Bank to finance energy efficiency programs to help manufacturers and medium sized businesses reduce their energy bills.

The choice of investment should not be politically controversial (although it will be), given that it is really just significant scaling up of the sorts of investments that were made by (bipartisan supported) Low Carbon Australia before it was absorbed into the CEFC. The program will hand out loans of up to $5 million to facilitate investments into

energy-saving lighting, solar panels, and cogeneration and trigeneration plants. The coalition is opposed to the CEFC, saying it will be disbanded and no further funds would be granted if it formed government. However, to do this, the coalition would need to pass legislation through parliament, which would be unlikely before July 1, 2014.

Meridian sells half stake in Macarthur Meanwhile, another investment target of the CEFC, the refinancing of the Macarthur wind farm, has taken an interesting turn after New Zealand’s Meridian Energy confirmed it had sold its half-share in the 420MW plant in Victoria to a Malaysian power generator for $650 million.

vested $500 million into the wind farm, which was formally opened in March and is jointly owned with AGL Energy. Meridian said the sale, and the CEFC’s involvement in the syndicate refinancing the debt (it contributed $50 million to the facility), would help it make more renewable investments in Australia.

Meridian said it was looking at a ‘range’ of opportunities, and at rolling out its PowerShop retail offer. ‘The involvement of the CEFC in the refinancing of the Macarthur wind farm will facilitate Meridian’s ongoing activities in Australia and Meridian looks forward to the opportunity for further collaboration,’ it said.

The buyer of the Macarthur stake is Malakoff Corporation, a subsidiary of MMC Corporation.

CEFC CEO Oliver Yates said the CEFC was providing finance on the same terms as the other syndicate members, ANZ, NAB, ING, Shinsei, ICBC and EKF, to provide market stability. It said this showed how the CEFC can help leverage private sector financing into renewable energy.

‘This will allow the market to build understanding of our approach and ability to participate in order to assist projects to successfully reach financial closure,’ he said in a statement.

In another wind deal, Vestas has secured a contract to supply 51 turbines to the Taralga wind farm in NSW, which is being developed by CBD Energy and Banco Santander.

Vestas will provide a range of 1.8MW, 2MW and 3MW turbines for the 106MW project.

Vestas landed the deal after a joint venture between CBD Energy and two large Chinese turbine manufacturers was disbanded. The number of turbines has been reduced from 61 under the original plan. Construction of Taralga is slated to take 17 months and the facility is slated for full operations by November 2014.

Cleantech comp narrows field The Australian Cleantech Competition has chosen 30 semi-finalists from a field of 150, with two thirds of them coming from renewable energy and energy efficiency categories and just over half of them from NSW or Victoria. The semi-finalists qualify for Cleantech Business Accelerator Program, which will involve principal sponsor Autodesk helping each company design, visualise and simulate their ideas with Digital Prototyping software.

The shortlist includes Bombora Wave Power, DiUS Computing, which has developed a world-leading home charging solution for plug-in electric vehicles, F Cubed, Nexus eWater, which produces highefficiency hot water using heat recycled from greywater, Specialty Coatings, which applies a thin film PV material onto rooft sheeting, and Utilitas – a specialist biogas project development company that uses a smart business model to produce competitively priced ‘Organic Energy’.

A call to create ‘mentally healthy workplaces’ A landmark alliance between business, the mental health sector and government began last Monday to help create Australian workplaces that are ‘mentally healthy’.

Mental illness costs the Australian economy over $20 billion a year and recent research

by SANE Australia highlighted that the majority of people feel unsupported when mentally unwell, and less than half of managers (43 per cent) have an understanding of mental illness.

The Mentally Healthy Workplace Alliance is a collaborative partnership aimed at changing business culture and practices by providing the business sector with practical guidance about mental health. The Alliance is also developing an evidence-based business case for promoting mentally healthy workplaces.

Prof Allan Fels, Chair of the National Mental Health Commission, which has set up the Alliance, is calling on

all Australian workplaces to take steps to create mentally healthy workplaces, and fully realise the benefits to individuals, businesses and the community.

‘With almost half of Australians likely to experience a mental illness in their lifetime, the importance of having mentally healthy workplaces cannot be overstated,’ he said.

More productive ‘Businesses that invest in mental health are also more productive, innovative and likely to recruit and retain the best and brightest people.’

SANE Australia congratulates the National Mental Health Commission for its leadership role in bringing the Alliance together.

‘Here we have the business community working hand in hand with the mental health sector and that’s essential if we are going to shift the dial on mental health in the workplace,’ explains SANE Austral-

ia’s CEO Jack Heath.

‘Australians with mental illness have one of the lowest workforce participation rates in the OECD and the Alliance has a critical role to play in turning this around,’ says Mr Heath.

SANE Australia has developed a training solution that provides managers with the skills and confidence to respond effectively to signs of mental health problems at work.

Mindful Employer helps managers to create a more positive and supportive workplace, and avoid the costs of not responding to mental health problems in a timely and appropriate manner.

The program, which offers both online and face-to-face support, focuses on mental illness awareness training and the skills to work with, and support, an employee who has an existing or emerging mental health issue or is caring for someone who does.

‘Business leaders care about the people they employ but if their managers don’t know how to respond to mental health issues, the end result can be costly for everyone in both human and dollar terms.

Mindful Employer helps reduce costs, improve productivity and create a positive working environment – all critical to long-term business success,’ explains Mr Heath.

Founding members of the Alliance include the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Australian Psychological Society, beyondblue, the Black Dog Institute, the Business Council of Australia, Comcare, the Council of Small Business Organisations of Australia, the Mental Health Council of Australia, Safe Work Australia, SANE Australia and the University of New South Wales.

News Extra

New book exposes power relations in the Catholic Church Traditional power relations within the Catholic Church have hardly changed over the past century despite ongoing widespread dissatisfaction and disenchantment among followers, according to a new book by a Southern Cross University social researcher. Catholics, Conflicts and Choices: An exploration of power relations in the Catholic Church is by Dr Angela Coco, pictured, a senior lecturer in the School of Arts and Social Sciences.

Catholics, Conflicts and Choices presents 40 detailed interviews with lay people, lesbians, priests, nuns, and brothers, each discussing their personal struggles with certain Church teachings and practices.

‘I set out to tell the stories of individuals who were seeking solutions to issues they had with the Church,’ said Dr Coco.

‘What the stories revealed was a culture of abuse within the Church: psychological, emotional, and for some, physical abuse. That cannot be tolerated in this day and age, anywhere, any time.

‘The stories in my book don’t focus on clergy sexual abuse. I wanted everyday conflicts. But there are parallels in the Church’s behaviours and responses.

‘And it’s not only certain priests who perpetuate the abusive behav-

‘For example, lay people and members of the police force who support the priests and work to ignore or cover up things. These supporters don’t have a problem with maintaining the status quo.’

Dr Coco said the conversations illustrated different experiences of power relations – particularly different aspects of gender dynamics – within the organisational structures of the Church.

‘Most of those I interviewed couldn’t resolve their conflict without seeking support and information from outside of the Catholic avenues available to them.

theorised by male celibates, who have an experience of life that, for many, is totally different from lay people.

That is all part of the power relations.

In power relations those who get to produce the knowledge are the ones with the power. There needs to be a shift whereby lay people’s lives are recognised as being sacred as well.’

Dr Coco said of those experiencing difficulties within the Church’s power structure it was only the priests who appeared to have some room to manoeuvre and negotiate resolutions to their issues.

‘If you’re a layperson you’re at the bottom of the Catholic hierarchy.

If you don’t like how you’re treated then exiting the Church is often the only solution.’

Dr Coco said while the Church outwardly appeared to be responding to lay issues by doing research (for example, into women playing a more active role) or setting up commissions it seldom put those changes or recommendations in place.

Catholics, Conflicts and Choices is Dr Coco’s first book as a sole author and is based on her PhD research, awarded in 1999, which investigated Catholics’ conflicts with the Church.

Dr Coco was born and raised a Catholic. She was a regular churchgoer and helped set up religious education in Noosa on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast in the 1980s.

It was around this time she left her marriage, only to cease her Catholic practice at the age of 40.

She said her final exit was prompted by a parish priest preaching that divorced parents were destroying the community and leaving their children fearful they wouldn’t be loved anymore.

‘So here I am a parent, but a noncustodial mother. I have no job, I have no income but I go to church on Sunday.

‘I’m sitting there thinking I’ve worked really hard, I’m trying to teach my daughter about positive relationships, which I couldn’t do in the marriage for obvious reasons.

‘I became disillusioned by the fact the institution could still allow this kind of misinformation to be preached to the public.

‘There’s a real lack of understanding among the priesthood about what goes on in the lives of lay people. Each week these sermons are delivered to congregations who can’t or won’t speak up to tell the priest he’s talking rubbish.’

Welfare at risk The Australian Council of Social Services (ACOSS) last Monday will released a report showing that the welfare sector being undermined by ‘severe underfunding’.

The survey of 500 agencies found housing availability and affordability is the greatest unmet need.

Two-thirds of housing and homeless services said they were struggling to meet demand, while 62 per cent reported waiting times had increased in the past 12 months.

Those providing legal services said 20 per cent of those seeking assistance had to be turned away, with 63 per cent saying they couldn’t meet the need for help.

Youth services were turning away 17 per cent of clients.

Devils tame Cougars to stay in touch with leaders John Campbell

The Byron Red Devils have kept alive their chances of playing in the NRRRL playoffs with a committed victory over the Casino Cougars. The final score was only 24–12, but the home side won it running away following an absorbing struggle.

On an arvo best suited to sitting in front of the fire with the cat, a Robert G Barrett paperback and a warm Courvoisier, an estimated 1,433 damp but delighted footy tragics turned out to watch the Devils maintain their promising mid-season revival.

After absorbing early pressure, Byron’s Peter ‘get my name right’ Flannery, busy as a bee from dummy half, split the defence to send ‘Toothless’ Simon Kelly over with a beautiful inside pass, but the ref, blind in one eye and unable to see out of the other, called it forward. To make amends, the red-headed hooker then took

it upon himself to open the scoring, but if the overriding impression was that we were about to witness a cakewalk, Casino thought otherwise.

An arm wrestle ensued.

The visitors, fielding a couple of big boppers in the engine room and sharp movers at full-back and five-eighth,

performed above expectations. Their desire was raw and, uninhibited by the horrible conditions, they put it to the Bay and looked to be

gaining the upper hand when they led 12–4 at the break.

Doom and gloom whispered that the second forty might be a repeat of the first.

But coach Nathan Cross, at last with continuity in his weekly lineup, is fashioning a side that keeps its head and focuses on the job at hand.

The Cougars carried on from where they left off. Byron, unaffected by mounting tension, lifted a gear. Their forwards stormed into the ruck and the backs, with Fraser ‘Corporal’ Jones scoring a try when they ran it on the fifth, were more threatening.

Despite throwing everything at an outclassed opponent, however, Byron still trailed 12–8. Casino’s stubborn resistance was broken when Ryan ‘the Crab’ O’Connell scooted in under the posts. Among the crowd the relief was palpable – for officers in the police wagon on the hill it was audible, as they treated us to a heartening ‘whirrr!’ from their siren.

With the Law on their side, the Devils then produced the most outlandish of tries. Chris ‘BB’ King booted the ball into the stormy grey heavens – it was a terrifying torpedo that nobody in maroon wanted a bar of. Racing through to get the psychedelic bounce was Joseph ‘Conrad’ Gordon who, as he fell to Earth, threw a dyingswan pass to ‘Sexy’ Rexy Sheavils, who gleefully planted it over the white line for a four-pointer that brought sunshine to a cloudy day.

King completed a fine effort from the men in red by sprinting seventy metres to dive over in the corner.

Five rounds of the comp remain. The Mullumbimby Giants pulled one out of the hat on Saturday night to defeat Kyogle 21–20, so our shire’s sides remain in the hunt. Both are on the road next week – Byron to Evans Head and Mullum to South Grafton.

Away the lads!

Ruby’s chance of a lifetime as girls celebrate women in AFL

Stuart Amos

Round 14 of AFL recognised ‘Women in AFL’ with the inaugural Women’s Game played on Saturday, featuring 50 female footballers from across the country representRuby Edmeades and mum Chris above, in the warmup room with the Suns. ‘I wish I could do this every week’, said Ruby of her Women in AFL treat. ‘This is so much fun!’ Not so fun was the Suns’ loss to the Adelaide Crows. Captain Gary Ablett left, putting on a brave face after a disappointing defeat.

ing the Melbourne Demons and the Western Bulldogs.

Saturday’s Metricon Stadium game between the Gold Coast Suns and the Adelaide Crows played their part by having a guard of honour of female players to welcome the Suns onto the ground as well as an all-girls NAB Auskick game during half-time.

Local kids from the northern rivers were given the chance to be a part of the stadium celebrations with Ruby Edmeades of the U14 Byron Bay Junior Magpies team attending the game and spending time down in the Suns pre-game warmup area.

‘Ruby is the only girl in a 78-member strong club and first ran onto the ground at the age of eight in a tutu’, says team coach Tim Peacock.

Ruby was joined at Metricon by kids from St Francis Xavier primary school and the admin officer of the Northern Rivers Junior AFL, Molly Kenwood.

The AFL announced the latest statistics concerning women in football and there are now over 136,000 female players across the country, from Auskick to senior level, 5,500 female coaches, who make up 35 per cent of club coaches, 2,000 female umpires and women also make up 35 per cent of volunteers involved.

The game between the Suns and the Crows was watched by 13,791 spectators and was a bumper match between the 11th and 12th teams on the ladder. Both teams came into the game after a fortnight break, having had their mid-season bye in Round 13.

For the Crows the bye couldn’t have come at a better time, having lost their past three matches, the most recent being a 38-point submission at the hands of Richmond at

Etihad Stadium. The Suns’ last four games yielded the same amount of wins as the Crows, yet McKenna’s young side entered this game far more bullish than their opponents.

Gold Coast, led by a best on ground display by Dion Prestia, fought back to reduce the margin to eight by the final change but the Crows proved too strong in the fourth quarter against a fading Suns to claim a comfortable 16.15 (111) to 11.17 (83) victory.

Shiners concede first Test

Extreme wins for Byron Bay

It was all to play for at Brunswick Heads in Presidents Cup Rugby on Saturday, with first-placed Mullumbimby taking on second-placed Lismore. It was their first encounter for the season. They will meet twice more in the five remaining rounds, creating a three-test series.

Lismore landed the first blows in spectacular style, playing tight, disciplined rugby, recycling phase upon phase, starving Mullum of possession and planting the seeds of frustration.

The Shiners defended staunchly but were overcommitting at the breakdown. Then Lismore’s fullback found space out wide and looked a moral to score, when Teale Pyne, the man they couldn’t root, shoot or electrocute, smashed him in to touch to the roars of the faithful. But old heads were patient and when opportunity arrived Lismore’s number four found the white line with

a pick and drive try to convert dominance to points.

From the restart Mullum made their first foray into Lismore territory, a good run and offload from marauding Mitch Arthur released Nathan Appel before Lismore closed the attack down.

The Shiners were working their way back when Lismore intercepted a pass near the halfway to score a devastating try. More pain was to follow when Mullum’s rock-solid fullback Keelan Jenkins severely dislocated his ankle.

Tight head prop Lachlan Stubbings crashed out with a torn crotch and gammy knee minutes later. As the ref blew his pipe for oranges it was 15–0.

Early in the second half Mullum were reduced to fourteen men when a truculent Scott Hazlewood-Potts copped ten in the bin. The counterattack was on though with replacement forwards Adam Ryan, Matty Appel and big Wal Andrews injecting a bit of mongrel into the mix.

Jamie Stevens was landing some good tackles and Jacob Johnston was catching everything at full back.

In the backs Vogt and Hutton were beginning to penetrate the Lismore defence. Then deep in attack off the back of a scrum quick from Siamoa to Nichols for a cut out pass to Wal Andrews on the burst caught the Lismore defence flatfooted and narrowed the gap to eight points.

The Shiners had the better of the last fifteen but dropped ball at crucial stages prevented a comeback victory, with Lismore prevailing 15–8.

If the intensity of this game is any gauge, games two and three are must-sees.

The Shiners are at home this week to Evans with a 2pm kickoff at Bruns – and a reminder, tickets are selling fast for the Shiners 25th anniversary dinner at Bruns Bowlo on August 10. Tickets are $75 and can be purchased from the Bowlo during business hours.

Gracie Elite brings home medals Within six months of opening, the Grace Elite Brazilian Jiu Jitsu academy sent a team to brisbane to compete in the Queensland State Titles.

Faced with more experienced opponents, Gracie Elite managed to bring home four medals – one silver and three bronze, an amazing result considering the team of four were competing for the first time.

Sara Grace won silver at the event with a superbly executed armbar submission in the semifinal, narrowly missing out on gold due to a close points decision in the final.

Jacob Williams won two bronze, one in his weight di-

vision and one in the open and Christian Pohio also collected a bronze for his weight class. A great result in a toughly stacked division.

Byron ambushes Pioneers in return bout Peter Griffin

Byron Bay rugby had it all to do against Wollongbar Alstonville on Saturday. The Bay had sent an understrength team to Wollongbar last week and was duly punished.

In front of the biggest home crowd of the season Byron Bay rebounded in emphatic style, ambushing the Pioneers with a four try 24–22 victory.

Byron has now regained third place at the expense of Wollongbar with seven games to play. The Bay are only three points from the top of the table Lismore and a point behind Lennox Head.

Ballina and Grafton are eight points adrift of the four.

The pre-game tension was palpable with Byron Bay still wrestling with selections moments before kick-off. When the dust settled Robert Lynch had moved into the centres alongside the juggernaut Harry Nuttall and the brilliant George Kitching went back to fullback to counter Wollongbar’s lethal kicking game.

The move was a masterstroke with Kitching’s pace and quality diffusing any danger and putting the visitors back on their heels. The Pioneers have been the most lethal attacking force in First Grade, averaging 36 points a match but their potency was blunted by the Bay’s trademark in your face defence.

Lynch and Nuttall cut

down the space in midfield and Byron forwards Craig Wallace, Josh Smith and Wal Andrews battered their opposition back. As the game opened up the best broken play runner in First Grade, Michael Armstrong, took charge of the game. The power packed Kiwi scored two scintillating solo tries to give Byron a 12–6 halftime lead.

The Pioneers returned to the basics and ground their way back into the match with clinical goal kicking. Five penalty conversions had the visitors in front 15–12 before Armstrong added a dashing third try to restore the lead.

The Bay supporters are nothing if not vocal and Byron seemed to find new levels of energy and purpose in the second half. After a long period of sustained pressure Tom Homer crashed over under the posts to end the contest.

Wollongbar finally scored their first try deep into injury time but the home crowd cel-

ebrations were already in full swing. A measure of Craig Wallace’s performance was his man of the match accolade ahead of Armstrong the three-try hero.

Captain Pete Shaw was as robust as ever and Smith was again a thorn in his opponents’ side. Byron’s backline could not be faulted with Jack Dickson, Nathan Nicholls, Nuttall and Kitching all quality. The result was sweet revenge for Byron’s playmaker and former Pioneer player Jash Saeck.

But it was the inspirational Wal Andrews who underscored the meaning of commitment to Byron rugby. Andrews drove to Byron from Sydney at 4am on Saturday. The champion prop stopped in Mullumbimby for a game at 2.30pm before hitting Byron’s Recreation Fields to enter the fray 25 minutes into the game against Wollongbar. Go the Bay indeed!

If we calculate the cost of an average Australian home, $360,000 and the average loss in value at 15%, that would take a massive $54,000 off the price of the property. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;It is not only the physical damage of a rodent infestation that can affect a family; the emotional impacts can also be distressing.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; In addition to gnawing away at a propertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s value, rodents can cause severe physical damage to homes. A key characteristic of a rodent is its front incisors (teeth). These incisors never stop growing and can grow up to 127mm a year; consequently rodents must continuously gnaw to keep these short.

Over 80 per cent of people would take a property off their purchase list if it had evidence of a rodent infestation, according to a survey by leading pest control company Rentokil. Â Winter is rodent season, the ideal time of year for rats and mice to invade homes looking for both shelter and food. Homeowners, particularly those who plan to sell their property this winter, are urged to look out for rodent infestations as they can have

significant impacts on the value of a property.

Kate Levy, head of marketing services at Rentokil, said a rodent infestation could decrease the value of a property by anywhere between 5% and 25%. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;It is alarming for homeowners to know how much their property would decrease in value. The survey found over half of people believed a

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Most homeowners are unaware of repair costs for damage caused by rodents with 40% unable to estimate a dollar value. However, 41% thought rodents could cause anywhere between $500 and $10,000+ worth of damage,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Ms Levy.

A rodent infestation can quickly get out of control. Within a period of a year a single pair of mating rodents can result in a rodent population of 400â&#x20AC;&#x201C;700. Female rodents are capable of giving birth to between five to 10 offspring more than four times a year and those offspring are ready to reproduce just three months after birth.

The most common pest rodent species in Australia are the black rat, brown rat (Norway rat), and house mouse, all of which are widespread throughout Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest populated areas. Rodents are nocturnal and build their nests in wall cavities, under floors, roof voids and close to areas where they can scavenge for food and water. They can all carry diseases by leaving infected urine or faeces in places where people can come in contact, such as kitchen benches, food preparation and storage areas and rubbish tips.

Byron mayor Simon Richardson feels weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;duddedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in the latest round of Regional Development Australia Fund (RDAF) grants compared to what our neighbours received.

Ballina Shire scored $232,667, Byron $149,681, Clarence Valley $668,200, Kyogle $229,587, Lismore $436,455, Richmond Valley $316,430, and Tweed $613,184. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to see how you justify any formula for funding unless you have indepth knowledge of each shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wants and needs. We could always use more.

Big wins for Queensland last Wednesday in the football and the Labor party blood-letting.

New South Welshpersons who backed both the Blues and Julia will need a lot of consolation, chemical or otherwise, for the rest of the week. Independents Rob Oakeshott and Tony Windsor picked a good time to retire â&#x20AC;&#x201C; good luck to them both.

Bernard Keane reported in Crikey that the federal Attorney Generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;developed in secret a data retention scheme, and almost certainly drafted legislation for it after an extensive, multi-year secret consultation process with industry and other departments. But when time came for AGD to explain and justify the scheme in public, it failed abjectly, barely even mentioning the proposal in the discussion paper designed to kickstart the inquiryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The scheme was rejected â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but so much for government transparency.
