Telco plonks temp tower near residents Wooyung residents say they have been kept in the dark over the erection of temporary Telstra communication towers which will service the Splendour In The Grass festival from July 26 to 28. Wooyung Road resident Rob Learmonth told The Echo that no-one from Telstra contacted him or neighbours before the two nine-metre towers were erected close to his home. ‘I am gobsmacked,’ he told The Echo. ‘Major infrastructure works have taken place along Wooyung Road to get the fibre optic cable to the site. It is directly opposite and within two hundred metres of homes across the road.’ The telco has no obligation to advise residents due to it being temporary, says Mr Learmonth, ‘in accordance with the Communications Act and State SEPP planning processes.’ ‘We are only a small community and we seem virtually powerless to the bully-boy tactics of Telstra. It all appears to be being done by stealth. He fears it could set a precedent and become a semi-permanent arrangement, and asks ‘Will the tower be erected on the Wooyung site for all subsequent events and if so how many events?’ And questions to Telstra by The Echo also remain unanswered. They include: ‘Why has no advice been provided to residents on the levels of electromagnetic radiation they may receive’, and, ‘Why wasn’t this placed away from residents?’ Instead, a spokesperson confirmed the towers and said, ‘This equipment is in high demand and will be moved to the next event as soon as possible after Splendour in the Grass.’

Byron Shire Council Notices Page 40

Byron to declare CSG free July 21 A gasfield free Byron Bay declaration day is planned for Sunday July 21 at the Peace Park on Main Beach. Organisers are planning a family afternoon of fun to coincide with the beachside markets, and the event will include meditation, yoga, a welcome to country ceremony, entertainment by the Raise The Roof Choir, Shane Howard, Holley Knott and others. Additionally, a ‘Stand in the Sand’ crowd formation is planned, which will represent the actual survey percentage for Byron Bay. Organisers say the Byron Bay survey is the biggest so far conducted in urban Australia. Co-organiser Suzie Deyris told The Echo, ‘This has brought people together as never before, strengthening the bonds between neighbours and demonstrating their solidarity.’ More details next week.

Council’s finanacial (loss) arrangement with parks Hans Lovejoy

The former Byron Council staffer and now manager of the state government-owned private enterprise, North Coast Holiday Parks (NCHP), has hit back at claims his parks do not contribute back to the community since he took over administration from Byron Shire Council in 2006. But questions still remain as to why Council’s financial returns are extraordinarly lower than before the takeover. NCHP general manager Jim Bolger told The Echo that a major amount is paid directly back into the Shire via Council. ‘Other amounts paid for reserve maintenance and or improvement by NCHP vary from year

hour gym

to year determined by the work needed to be performed. Plans for the upgrades of the day use reserves in Brunswick Heads will be exhibited toward the end of this year. These plans will identify extensive improvement works to be funded from caravan park revenue.’ The questions come after a recent press release by a public relations company on behalf of NCHP that claimed, ‘guests can be confident that the profits from the dollars they invest are returned to the people of NSW and their coastal recreation zones.’ Council’s media officer confirmed that in 2011/12 the amount paid by NCHP for three Brunswick Heads caravan parks was $196,818, and is listed under the ‘Open Space And Recreation Program’ in the budget.

As a comparison to when Council managed the parks over ten years ago, Council’s 2001/2002 annual report says that The Terrace Park generated $380,000, Massey Greene $270,000 and the Ferry Reserve $121,200, equalling a profit of $771,200. Another snapshot a few years later in 2003/2004 reveal a higher figure of $860,653. Council’s community infrastructure executive manager, Phil Holloway, said the income was spent across all Council reserves as per a 2007 agreement with the then-called North Coast Crown Lands Division. ‘Council also receives income for Crown reserve works from the paid parking on Main Beach, Byron Bay, and fees from market licences.’ He says the funds can only be expended on works in the area to which the income was generated.

North Coast news daily:

Homeless blitz A Brunswick Heads man appeared in the Mullumbimby Court on June 27 and was fined for failing to comply with a no camping sign, says Byron Shire Council’s governance manager Ralph James. He told The Echo that the defendant intends to challenge the fine and the case was adjourned until August 15. Mr James said five ‘no camping’ fines had been issued in April at the Brunswick Heads Reserve. ‘Rangers had been to the Reserve on four

prior occasions. Firstly to investigate the issue, assess the impacts, provide information on alternative accommodation options and finally move people on. ‘While camping on reserves and streets is a high priority, Council does not target homeless people and tries to assist wherever it can.’ ‘Camping in public streets and reserves’ has been identified as a high priory for Council’s ‘2013 Compliance program – Priorities.’

Harry Blair and Eamon Schultz have completed the highest award attainable in the Cub Scouts, the Grey Wolf. First Byron Bay Scouts has a long heritage in Byron Bay with community sup-

port; Joeys, Cubs, Scouts, Venturers and scout leaders gather locally and at events across Australia. Linda Whitehurst from the 1st Byron Bay Scouts says, ‘The membership in Byron is at an all-time high with

great family commitment and enthusiasm bringing the best out in our local children.’ The Grey Wolf award is embarked upon once a series of Boomerang badges have been accomplished by the Cub.

Bangalow weir’s ‘new look’ unveiled Chris Dobney

A determined community, an offer of free rocks and a creative concept mean Bangalow’s broken weir may soon be a beautiful new addition to the town rather than a crumbling, neglected artefact from the past. The weir, which was built by community volunteers in the 1920s, was first breached in 2010 and its condition worsened to the point that Byron Shire Council fenced it off last year. Council then commissioned a report from Geolink, which valued the cost of replacing the weir at $1million. Two public meetings later, and it is clear that some of the community spirit that drove those first townsfolk to build the weir was still evident. The first meeting in 2012 heard from a local engineer, Tony Baggio, that the job could be done for less than $100,000. After 12 months, another report provided a se-

ries of options with escalating price tags. A second meeting decided to support the option of repairing the weir to a height of 0.9 metres, just below the concrete floor of the kids’ pool, with a rock fishway (pictured). Even this option comes at a cost of around $290,000. Spokesperson for the Bangalow Weir Group, David Pont, told The Echo, ‘the highway construction firm Baulderstone has now made a firm offer of rocks for con-

struction’. A local civil engineer has also completed a concept design, pictured, which has now been submitted to Byron Shire Council for consideration. As a result of these community contributions, the cost is expected to be far less than what has previously been predicted for actually removing the entire weir but money remains the sticking point. ‘How much can Council contribute?’ asked Mr Pont. Not much, if Byron mayor

Simon Richardson’s comments at the last community meeting in April are anything to go by. Then, the mayor said that Council would be better to focus any funds it had on a new heated pool at the Bangalow sports ground. However, Mr Pont says grants are being investigated and he remains upbeat about the weir’s chances. ‘All going well it is planned to do the work in the spring when the creek flows are low.’

Is your super funding fossil fuels? CSG free group Lock the Gate Tweed is calling on the big four banks and superannuation funds to divest themselves of investment in fossil fuel production and infrastructure. It comes after recent research conducted by Market Forces and the Australia Institute, which showed that almost 25 per cent of people

who invest in superannuation would be prepared to switch super funds if their fund continued to invest in CSG. Lock the Gate Tweed spokesperson Michael McNamara told The Echo, ‘investors believe that ethical concerns, not just monetary gain, should be taken into account when investing their hard-earned super funds.’

TransGrid to review projects The owner/manager of the state’s high-voltage electricity transmission network, TransGrid, has announced it will undertake a review of the proposed Far North NSW Project. It follows a report on the latest electricity forecasts for the region, and the state government-owned TransGrid says the latest forecasts for the region, which are due to be published in TransGrid’s Annual Planning Report 2013, show the proposed transmission line upgrade ‘has the potential to be deferred’. TransGrid’s network planning and performance GM Stephen Clark said, ‘What we know from the latest data is that the project is still required, but the timing has shifted slightly out to the 2020s. I am happy to announce that TransGrid will now undergo a further review specific to the proposed Far North NSW Project (Dumaresq to Lismore).’ Anyone with further questions about TransGrid’s announcement is encouraged to call a community liaison officer on the toll-free project hotline 1800 222 537, or email Dumaresq.lismore@transgrid.com.au.

Whales in court: updates from the Hague Hans Lovejoy

From the high seas to the high courts: Australia’s court challenge against Japan over whaling at the Hague has seen unusual legal tactics, according to the director of NGO (non-government organisation) Whales Alive, Mick McIntyre. McIntyre is an observer in the UN’s International Court of Justice (ICJ) in the Netherlands, and told The Echo that the Japanese have launched a counter-attack on Australia.

Counter attack ‘Japan’s legal counsel opened its case by stating that they did not think this court action brought on by Australia was about the merits of the Japanese so-called

‘The International Court of Justice (ICJ) is the principal judicial organ of the United Nations (UN). It was established in June 1945 by the Charter of the United Nations and began work in April 1946. The seat of the Court is at the Peace Palace in The Hague (Netherlands). Of the six principal organs of the United Nations, it is the only one not located in New York (United States of America). The Court’s role is to settle, in accordance with international law, legal disputes submitted to it by states and to give advisory opinions on legal questions referred to it by authorised United Nations organs and specialized agencies. The Court is composed of 15 judges, who are elected for terms of office of nine years by the United Nations General Assembly and the Security Council. It is assisted by a Registry, its administrative organ. Its official languages are English and French.’ Sourced from www.icj-cij.org.

“scientific whaling program” but an anti-whaling crusade brought on by the Australian government to supports its own domestic agenda.’ He says Japan instead accused Australia of supporting

the collapse of the IWC (International Whaling Commission) and also accused anti-whaling nations of securing new member nations by paying their membership dues in return for voting for

EPA fines NSW Forestry Corp $1,000 for logging protected koala habitat Almost a year after its illegal activity was uncovered, the Forestry Corporation of NSW was issued last week with fines of less than $1,000 by the Environment Protection Authority (EPA) for logging a koala high-use area in Royal Camp State Forest, south west of Casino. The announcement has provoked the ire of the North Eastern Forest Alliance (NEFA), which first revealed the breaches last year and is calling the loss-making state-owned enterprise ‘totally unrepentant’. NEFA’s spokesperson described the fine of $300 for each penalty as ‘paltry’, adding there were ‘no requirements for remediation or protection of compensatory habitat’. ‘Such paltry fines provide no incentive to make the Forestry Corporation do the right thing, particularly as their minister lets them get away with it and they make a profit from their illegal logging.’ The group predicts that ‘any day’ there will be further logging of what it described as

‘some of the best koala habitat in the northern rivers region’. NEFA spokesperson Dailan Pugh said he was ‘disgusted with the pathetic response from the NSW government to the Forestry Corporation’s continuing refusal to thoroughly search for koala scats (faecal pellets) to identify koala high-use areas and protect them from logging’.

Game Council abolished In related news, the NEFA and the NSW Greens have welcomed the abolition of the Game Council and the immediate suspension of recreational shooting in 400 state forests and two Crown land areas. Greens NSW spokesperson Dr Mehreen Faruqi said the decision was ‘a victory for common sense and for all of the spirited grassroots campaigners who made their voices heard on this issue.’ ‘We need to decouple the idea that feral animal control and recreational hunting achieve the same aims. They don’t.’

the moratorium in 1982. ‘This is very shaky ground for the Japanese,’ McIntyre says. ‘If they want to talk about vote buying in the IWC, bring it on we say; we all know who is doing the vote buying at IWC.’

Ethics versus money

And in an interesting twist of ethics versus money, Japan has hired highly respected Iranian-born human rights lawyer, Payam Akhavan, to demolish the rights of whales. ‘It is incredible that these respected lawyers are being paid the big Yen to sell their soul,’ says McIntyre, but, ‘Australia’s legal team have been outstanding.’ The case continues.

Man rescued from Brays Beach A 34-year-old man has suffered leg injuries after falling three metres off rocks at Brays Beach, south of Broken Head, early Monday morning. A spokesperson for Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter, which was called to the scene around 7am, told The Echo the man had been rock climbing with a friend when the accident occurred.

Greens announce Homelessness Action Plan Federal Greens candidate for Richmond Dawn Walker has launched the party’s Homelessness Action Plan to boost the supply of affordable housing and increase funding for services to tackle growing poverty in the community. ‘The lack of affordable housing on the north coast means that an increasing number of people in our community are forced to move in with friends, sleep in cars or live in sub-standard

rentals due to rising rents and mortgages,’ Ms Walker said. ‘If you’re unfortunate enough to have complex life issues like a mental illness or suffer domestic violence, then ending up on the streets is all too common,’ said Ms Walker.

Increase Newstart ‘The old parties need to match the lead of the Greens and commit to increasing Newstart by $50 per week and an additional $40 on

top of that for single parents to address growing poverty crises.’ She says the Greens’ Homelessness Action Plan has three priorities: to provide an emergency package to build 7,000 new homes by 2020; to include a 50 per cent target of ‘prefabricated’ housing to significantly reduce the time and cost of building the homes; and to double the current funding for specialist homelessness services in Australia.

Local government focuses on referendum Australians have been guaranteed the opportunity to vote at a September referendum to include local government in the Constitution and ensure the continuation of direct, federal funding for community infrastructure following the recent passing of the Constitution Alteration Bill in the Senate. The Bill received majority support across the political divide, with 46 senators voting for the Bill and eight against.

In the House of Representatives earlier, the Bill was supported by 133 members, with only two voting against it. Australian Local Government Association president Felicity-Ann Lewis said, ‘[The] outcome is significant because it reinforces the strong level of federal bipartisan support for constitutional recognition of local government.’ ‘With the Bill passed and a referendum confirmed for September 14, local govern-

ment can now get on with the job of ensuring that communities understand that voting “yes” at a referendum is about saying “yes” to community infrastructure such as local roads, libraries, child care and sporting fields.’ NSW local government minister Don Page has previously said he is unsupportive of local government recognition in the constitution. Find out more at http:// alga.asn.au.

Brigid said the aim is to donate more than $22,000 to charity this year, so that families can be together when they most need to be. ‘We are calling on everyone who is fit and well to celebrate their good health and sign up for this year’s Byron Bay Lighthouse Run. We have options for either the run or for a walk.’ Our House will use some of the funds to help accommodate people having cancer treatment who are experiencing financial hardship. Support will also be given to Langtang Valley Health, some four days away from the closest medical care, which will use the funds to purchase essential medical equipment and supplies, and to help pay staff salaries.

Concerns over NSW govt’s ‘toxic’ Bitou Bush spraying Nadia De Souza Pietramale

Why is there so little public notice and discussion about aerial spraying of Bitou Bush in Byron Shire? Byron Shire Chemical Free Landcare would like to express its concern about the lack of adequate notice and discussion of the proposed aerial spraying of Bitou Bush by helicopters along the Byron Shire coast, including for the first time the Tyagarah Nature Reserve. The herbicide to be sprayed is metsulfuron-methyl, which goes by trade names such as ‘Brushoff ’ and ‘Brushkiller 600’. The first we saw of the plan was a tiny public notice in The Echo, volume 28#01 on page 41 (www.echo.net.au/ node/88699). The public notice was provided by the Office of Environment and Heritage, NSW National Parks and Wildlife Services in accordance with requirements under the Pesticides Regulation 1995 and the NPWS Pesticide Use Notification Plan. While we appreciate the intention of the NPWS is to manage the Bitou Bush, we believe the overall impact to coastal biodiversity as a result of aerial spraying must be considered, along with the community impacts, including impacts to health and tourism. The proposed herbicide metsulfuron-methyl is a Group B sulfonylurea herbicide. It’s a translocated herbicide that acts to inhibit cell division in the shoots and roots of the plant. Some native plants, such as softleaved pioneer species, are also sensitive to it and can be killed or injured. According to the Pesticide

Management Education Program of Cornell University in New York, metsulfuron-methyl poses risks of exposure primarily through skin and eye contact. It is moderately to very mobile, especially in sandy soils. It has a half-life of 120–180 days in silt loam soil. While it is classified as low toxicity to birds, bees, fish and invertebrates, it is not clear what impact it will have on Australian species.

when gauged as a biodiversity management tool because of inadequate use of precautionary measures and the inadequate monitoring of herbicide injury of native plants.’ There are other methods available for managing Bitou Bush. The physical crowning technique used by Byron Shire Chemical Free Landcare volunteers, at Brunswick Heads Crown Land Reserve, is extremely efficient and simple; anyone can do it.

Super health clinic opens

Federal Labor minister for health, Tanya Plibersek, was in the region last Friday to help open a new superclinic in Tweed Heads, worth $7.75 million. She accompanied federal Labor member for Richmond, Justine Elliot, to spruik the facility. Ms Plibersek said, ‘Local patients will have better access to important allied health services including dietetics, exercise physiology, psychology, physiotherapy, speech therapy and dentistry all from one convenient location. ‘The clinic also offers placements to health students to help boost the Tweed’s health workforce.’ Ms Elliot also sang the centre’s praises with, ‘This clinic delivers on our 2010 election commitment to build a GP Superclinic for the Tweed region. It will provide important services that target the area’s key health priorities,

YACROCKCAFE all for youth

Schoolies HUB needs your help Schoolies HUB co-organiser Nicqui Yazdi says the decision recently by Byron Shire Council to reduce funding for the Byron Schoolies HUB by $9,800 for the 2013 celebrations has put its operation in jeopardy. She says, ‘[business chamber] Byron United also declined to contribute $3,000 as they have done in some previous years leaving the Schoolies working group with little time to secure funding to cover this deficit.’ But Byron United president Paul Waters told The Echo he has offered to assist in other fundraising opportunities, and ‘to encourage our members and other businesses to donate directly to

YACROCKCAFE happens every Friday night at the Byron YAC and is aimed at young people of high school and uni ages. Doors open at 6pm and it wraps up at 10pm. It’s always free entry and there’s free food. The events are drug- and alcohol-free and carry the message of Byron Youth Service’s initiative ‘Cringe The Binge’. You can find YACROCKCAFE on www.facebook.com/YACROCKCAFE.

The YACROCKCAFE kicked off in March last year and for the last 18 months it has seen up to four young bands playing every Friday night. The program is a combined initiative from BUDDI Community Drug Action Team, Byron Youth Service and the SAE Institute Byron Bay and happens at the Byron Youth Activities Centre. Since its inception, the YACROCKCAFE has seen over 300 performances by young bands from all around Australia, but regularly features emerging bands from across the northern rivers, the Gold Coast, Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast. Many of the local bands enjoy the chance of playing with the touring bands and learning various aspects of stagecraft. The stage is set up each week with a basic PA, which is managed by a group of SAE In-

stitute Byron Bay sound engineering students and local high school students. The weekly events are open to bands of all genres of musical styles, but predominantly it’s heavy rock, punk, hardcore, pop punk and metal bands; Byron Bay is known around the world as the home of hardcore, with the huge international success of Parkway Drive.

300 performances so far YACROCKCAFE are currently seeking support from anyone interested in contributing financially; they are in desperate need of upgrading some of their sound equipment and donations are tax deductible. Volunteers to assist with the weekly events and young musicians are also sought; contact coordinator Nicqui Yazdi on 0402 013 177 or email nicquiyazdi@yahoo.com.au for more.

The Byron Schoolies Safety Response and the Schoolies HUB run a massive volunteer operation over 18 days in Byron during the annual school-leavers celebrations in November and December. With over 300 volunteers each year, the HUB is open 24 hours a day for schoolies’ duration. They provide information, light entertainment, drug- and alcohol-free initiatives, first aid, water and a safe zone for the visiting schoolies.

Kevin tackles the unions on party reform

Haters of free speech Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s either good or bad news: the NSW Environmental Defenderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office (EDO) was thrown a cash lifeline by the federal government last week after the state government, with pressure from the mining sector and News Ltd, cut some of its funding late last year. The EDO is a small team of lawyers, with offices in Sydney and Lismore, which examines government policy and represents and advises the public in environmental law cases. So re-instating their operational costs is good news if you value free speech and a differing opinion. But as reported in News Ltdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Australian, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bad news. Its Friday July 5 headline, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Boost for anti-coal body shows Labor knows how to alienate its heartland,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; can be found amid stories spruiking new mining projects. According to corporate shill journalist Chris Merritt, Hunter Valley coalminers should reject Labor because they are now funding the EDO, which â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;advises those who want to destroy their industry.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; In contrast to News Ltd, the ABC reported at the time of the funding slash that there was â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;an angry backlash in the Hunter Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; over the EDO cuts. So which media outlet offers less spin? Bulga-Milbrodale Progress Association vice-president, John Krey, told ABC that without the EDOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s help, mining expansions such as the Mount Thorley-Warkworth mine will continue unabated. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We could not, as a community group, afford to run and pay full fees for legal teams to run our case.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Meanwhile NSW resources minister Chris Hartcher told The Australian late last year thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;left agenda to destroy the economy.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Politics aside, if the mining industry were prevented from dictating Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic growth and we adopted best practice sources of renewable energy already available, our economy and environment would be in much better shape. Preventing the fossil fuel industry from regulating the renewable sector would be a start. It should be noted that our local NSW MP, Don Page, appeared to have no interest in fighting against his governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cuts to the EDO. Hans Lovejoy, editor

fortnight ago there were still those who argued that replacing Julia Gillard with Kevin Rudd would make no real difference: it would still be the same old government with the same old policies emanating from the same old Labor Party. We are unlikely to hear apologies from either the coalition politicians or the conservative commentators in the light of reality, but the rest of us can have little doubt: the political ground in Australia has undergone a tectonic shift since Earthquake Kevin struck. We are still experiencing the aftershocks, but the extent of the upheaval is already obvious. The debate over asylum seekers has taken on a new shape, and the carbon tax is about to be similarly transformed. The education reforms are back in play; indeed, just about everything is back on the table except the NBN and the NDIS, which are now considered to be almost as sacrosanct as Medicare in Laborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s iconography. But it is not just the government and its policies which have had a makeover: Rudd is now proposing to redevelop the entire party structure from the ground up. And this is indeed a courageous decision. The starting point is the serially wounded New South Wales branch: the skilled hunter will always take the weakest member of the herd first. But Rudd has made it clear that the action will not stop there: he is planning to extend the pattern to the other states as well. The last of the great ALP reformers, Gough Whitlam, took three years to bring a recalcitrant federal conference to heel and reform the sclerotic Victorian branch. Rudd wants to get an even more ambitious program

rolling out within a single month. It can never be said that he lacks ambition, or ego. The obvious bits, aimed specifically at countering the worst of the rorts unveiled by the ICAC, are relatively uncontentious: no developers as party candidates and a policy of zero-tolerance for corruption or even accusations of it. But then it gets more interesting. There would be appeals to the civil courts against internal party decisions and the branchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s review committee, originally set up to provide justice but long since captured by the factions,

The changes which will allow Labor to re-invent itself as a truly broad-based party are likely to be a knock-down, drag-out affair. by Mungo MacCallum would be replaced by a new and independent tribunal. And most telling of all, union representation on the allpowerful administrative committee would be reduced from its present level of 80 per cent to a maximum of 50 per cent, with the remaining positions to be filled by the rank and file. And this, for the unions, is where the trouble starts. They are all too aware that every serious proposal for party reform starts with the proposition that the unions have too much power and they know damn well that Rudd is serious about reform. Last week the ACTU secretary Dave Oliver spelled it out: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Some people in the Labor Party are using the process of party reform to have a go at the unions,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he warned.

agreed and said flatly that he would not support any proposal to reduce union representation below its present level of 50 per cent of delegates to all party conferences, state and national. The union argument is essentially twofold: although actual union membership has fallen considerably, it is still many times greater than membership of the ALP. Well, yes, reply the reformers, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of the problem. But, say the union bosses, the unions in fact represent not only their members, but all workers on union-negotiated awards,

which is still more than 60 per cent of the workforce. And these workers remain Laborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primary base. But, reply the reformers, not its only one: those days are long gone. And the union dominance does more to scare people off than bring them in. Just read the polls. A showdown seems inevitable. Rudd has some powerful allies. The partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national secretary George Wright and, perhaps more importantly the NSW secretary, Sam Dastyari, are putting together reform agenda which will presumably include most if not all of Ruddâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wish list: it should be ready by the end of the month. And then it will have to go to the national executive for ratification. This body is more representative than it used to be â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it is now elected directly by the federal conference instead of being based on the state branches.

But the unions still have a big say: de Bruyn and the AWUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Paul Howes are prominent and there are several lesser lights who see their primary role as pushing the union cause. There is little doubt that the easy bits will get through: Rudd will be given enough to present himself as the man who cleaned up New South Wales. But the big picture stuff â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the changes which will allow Labor to reinvent itself as a truly broadbased party â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are likely to be a knock-down, drag-out affair which will involve all the courage, persistence and determination Rudd can muster â&#x20AC;&#x201C; providing, of course, that the unions donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t knife him again first. But he deserves big points for even trying. Bob Hawke, Paul Keating and Kim Beazley didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t; Simon Crean and Mark Latham couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t; and Julia Gillard, installed and protected by the unions, never even considered it. If Kevin Rudd, improbably, emerges as the great reformer, his place in Laborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pantheon will be secure. And heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather like that. Finally, a correction and an apology. In last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s column I accused the general secretary of the NSW ALP, Sam Dastyari, of being one of those who talked Kevin Rudd out of running a double dissolution at the beginning of 2009 and then went on to shaft him in favour of Julia Gillard. The reference should have been to Dastyariâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s predecessor, Karl Bitar. Dastyari, who has joined Kevin Rudd in his efforts to cleanse the stench in NSW which Bitar studiously ignored, is definitely one of the good guys. My sincere apologies for what was an unintentional but stupid error. Q See Mungoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s video at

Letters PAIN FREE IN BED?

Keep the longer Bruns library hours Q Council is considering the closure of the Brunswick Heads library on Saturday mornings or shortening hours significantly on a weekday. I oppose the cutting of library hours as I consider it to be a short-termed strategy, a serious and damaging mistake, and suggest that, if anything, library hours be extended. In an age where the need for good education and strong community spirit is vital, this insensitive move should be exposed for what it is: draconian budget cuts in an area not intended to make profits. Cutting library hours in difficult financial times is like cutting hospital funding during a plague. In times of economic crisis the library takes on an increasingly vital role supporting individuals and society. Any closure represents income cuts to library staff.

Libraries always serve what Andrew Carnegie refers to as the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;cradle of democracyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; by providing free access to information and entertainment, as well as social spaces for public groups to gather, discuss ideas, and plan community activities. Libraries also serve as the front lines of support for job-seekers by offering resources for job hunting, instruction on technical skills and professional development. These are people who may only have access times on the weekends. I would like Council to consider the following questions: 1. Is it not a proper function of local government to provide inclusive library services extending to weekend access? 2. What research has been undertaken which proves any benefits, financial or otherwise, aside from cutting es-

sential service access? 3. What other options has Council considered other than closing the library on Saturday mornings which affect existing staff income and local withdrawal of right of access? 4. What consultation has been undertaken with library staff for a more reasonable outcome? Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t risk being pennywise, pound foolish. Please oppose this proposal vigorously. Bronwyn Saffin New Brighton

Life saving

Brighton and South Golden Beach exceeds that of Byron Bay and Mullumbimby combined and this excludes the swelling numbers of people during holiday times. I find it astounding that apart from flags and two amazing, but ill equipped, life savers (no ATV) on South Golden Beach during holiday time, no other area of the beach is patrolled. Tweed Council has come up with a great solution. Along stretches of beach, such as Pottsville Beach, they have provided a shipping container in the dunes nearest a flagged area. Safety equipment, including an ATV and jet-ski, is kept inside the container and easily accessed by surf lifesavers when required. I believe we can no longer remain unprepared without adequately equipping the surf life savers we employ. It would be a shame if another swimmer, local child, neighbour, friend or again unsuspecting tourist would meet with Verenaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fate. Marianne McCormack Billinudgel

If you (editor) stopped printing letters which fail to comply with basic principles of grammar and decorum I reckon Mr Buck$ and others would learn (to address the chair) very quickly. Alistair Bell Byron Bay

I originally wrote to the mayor and Council on February 7 and as I have not yet received a reply that makes any sense, I am forwarding my letter regarding the unnecessary death of Verena, a 29-yearold woman from Berlin, Germany. She died on December 21, 2012, while visiting our local municipality and surfing at New Brighton Beach. I am, very sadly, the lady who firstly noticed her struggle in the water her fateful day and was the last holding her hand as she died on the beach one hour after initially sighting her. After the alarm was raised, a surf lifesaver had to run to her rescue from South Golden beach, as he did not have an ATV available to him. Obviously, he was unable to carry the lifesaving equipment required to save Verenaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. With an ATV at his disposal he could have arrived on the scene within two minutes, carrying a surf life saving flotation device, oxygen and a defibrillator. Presently, our tax money is being spent on researching â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;black spotsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; along NSWâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long stretches of beach, New Brighton Beach included. It seems morally irresponsible to me that some of this money could not be spent on supplying Council life savers with ATVs in order to adequately patrol such beaches.

So we have schools, a library, families, and a community. Why on Earth would you limit access for the one day that working parents are able to be included? The message is that this community is not important. As an ex-teacher of young children I am very aware of what is needed to develop literacy skills. When I was assistant principal in a semi-rural school we did everything possible to involve parents and to build up community relationships. It is essential to develop a love of reading first to form a basis for good literacy skills. Surely, a less damaging method could be found to save such a paltry sum. This is not good financial management. Betty Beresford Ocean Shores ment, statewide. Overriding the Land and Environment Court rulings, Part 3a, the Planning and Assessment Commission and many other dodgy deals that have overridden the desires of the residents and taxpayers across the state of NSW made during his lengthy tenure as director-general of the planning department.

Letters continued from page 11 and our precious environment keep coming up in last place where ‘collateral damage’ is acceptable to facilitate the onslaught of the politically well-connected, wealthy developers.

What? Are you kidding me? It turns out that the High-Speed Rail Study overestimated the future prices of electricity by 200 per cent and underestimated the fares by about 50 per cent. The corrected figures mean HSR can make enough money to repay the upfront costs in the first 25 years of operation! (HSR BZE submission.)

netdaily.net.au I am exasperated to hear that the study of such a crucial piece of infrastructure for the future of Australia could be so badly botched. It is such an extreme botch that it stinks of manipulation by those who would stand to lose from such renewable electrical energy transport, such as the suppliers of aircraft fuel, etc. Beyond Zero Emissions research into the economics also shows that the full Melbourne–Brisbane high-speed rail network should be built by 2028 rather than by 2063!

Neglected Two more tragic deaths on the Pacific Highway have given me cause to think about the total lack of infrastructure on the north coast. I do not understand why our roads are full of potholes; our main highway, the Pacific, is so dangerous and, in many parts, a two lane road; there are no trains; rarely a bicycle path to be seen; and residents in the north of the Byron Shire are always complaining about lack of facilities. What have our politicians and decision-makers been doing? The Anthonys were our representatives for many years. What was achieved in all that time? I remember Larry Anthony saying how dangerous riding on the Pacific Highway was; that was stating the obvious. I heard in question time that the Howard government had spent a paltry billion dollars on the Pacific Highway in 12 years. I thought we had record surpluses for many of those years. At least the Labor government has spent money on upgrading our major highway. Similarly, most schools in the area have a school hall. I do not consider them a waste of money. As a drama teacher my first position was teaching drama outside in an undercover area. Imagine what that was like when it was cold, wet and windy. That school now has a wonderful facility. It now seems that when the Liberals win the next election we will still have a second rate internet service. Can someone from the Liberal Party give me an explanation? On the other side of the political spectrum the state Labor government allowed the electricity system to run down so much that in the last few years the costs have risen dramatically in order to catch 12 July 9, 2013 The Byron Shire Echo

Queue jumping I’d like to clarify that Cr Woods’s successful motion to put Council’s Manfred Street properties up for sale was about queue jumping. A month or two ago staff listed properties throughout the Shire that we could sell. The Manfred Street lots were listed but not for the first round, as they each have complications and aren’t ready for sale. The particular lots at Manfred Street can be viewed on Annexure 23 to Council’s meeting of June 27 (downloadable from www. byron.nsw.gov.au). One of them is the extension of Childe Street and provides access to homes on Belongil Spit. Another one has a neighbour’s house encroaching over it. The last three are subject to coastal erosion, two being on the beach or in the surf depending on how recent your view. My unsuccessful amendment was to stick to the selling order on the staff list. Moving these lots up the list will slow down our sales process and delay sorely needed income to Council. Councillors’ normally hard-line fiscal approaches seem to fly out the window whenever it comes to things ‘Belongil’, like this one. As was pointed out at the meeting, selling these particular lots has no bearing on getting the rocks onto the beach there. The Roundhouse lots are the only ones in the Shire whose sale income is tied to a geographical area. Council’s performance would be better served by selling properties that are unencum-

bered, not those at Manfred Street. It’d be great if the five councillors who voted the motion through would explain how this queue-jump serves the broader community of the Shire, whom we councillors serve. Cr Duncan Dey Main Arm

Read the Qu’ran I come to defend Sue Arnold, and to question the wisdom of Sharon Smith and David Hall (Letters, July 2). Citizens, read the Qu’ran, Hadith, and life of the prophet, talk to residents of Muslim-majority parts of Europe, then make up your own mind. That is not what the Qu’ran will tell you to do. Just read it. Frankly I’m tired of hearing the same garbage trotted out about ‘brutal Western empires’. How about: ‘My goodness, wasn’t it amazing that Britain led the world in banning slavery, and actually dismantled an empire voluntarily.’ Now, bring up the Crusades. Which lasted 200 years, and ended 800 years ago. And, um, can you explain to me why Arabs then Turks invading Byzantinecontrolled Judaea was okay, but Franks pushing Turkish invaders out wasn’t? But I can never quite get the nuance of why 1,400 years of Arab/Islamic invasion and occupation is cool with some people, but the 80-year re-occupation of Jerusalem by Christians is eternally awful. That’s right, 80 years. After that they just held some coastal cities. As for David Hall and his allegation that our soldiers are engaged in murdering mums and dads: go there and write your exposé. But if I give a little girl a bomb, and a bunch of flowers, and send her to explode among a group of soldiers who are fighting for her right to an education, whose fault is it that the next little girl gets shot? But let’s leave the last word to Allah, Qu’ran Surah 8:67, Sahih international edition: ‘It is not for a prophet to have captives [of war] until he inflicts a massacre [upon Allah’s enemies] in the land.

very successful smokescreen indeed. Your article stating how Rose and the HLO are gallantly on the holiday let case (Echo, July 2). By raising the deposits required to secure a good tenant blah blah. So it looks like something is being done (skirting the issue of holiday letting being illegal in residential zones once more). Here are two parties with vested interests creating a diversion to waste more time in directly dealing with a problem that Byron residents are faced with. Rose should not use her position as councillor to make comments while she makes money from holiday letting. Lorraine Sntclaire Byron Bay

Bed tax Byron, always moaning about its lack of funding. We are one of the most popular tourist destinations in Australia, and yet have totally run-down, insufficient infrastructure (which ironically repulses our coveted tourists) – so, why no bed tax, like every other tourist destination? If I were a tourist here, trying to get to the beach, cruising along Lawson, and came across the disgusting state of the road at Massinger, I would go to Noosa next time! Put a bed tax on already! The tourists use our town, yet we are the ones paying for

tic concoctions tend to have great appeal to the chronically ill-informed, which I would hope does not include the editorial staff of The Echo. So what’s wrong with it? To get off the ground holiday letting in residential zones would need to be a legally legitimate activity – current legal precedents and the council LEP say it is not – so a court finding or state government decision is still a requirement. As the currently illegal holiday letters are still enjoying a free ride it is unlikely that a necessary percentage would sign up to any scheme involving extra cost to themselves. The same goes for the agents who would fear a loss of business as their customers ‘go feral’ and big costs loom. Even assuming enough punters signed up and legality was somehow achieved, an expensive administrative organisation would need to be created to run the accounting, the compliance and the inspection requirements it in rates – completely unfair. You can’t expect government grants to fund infrastructure that tourists use either. There are heaps of tourists using our new library. I’ll bet they stay in a hostel. Some of them even exploit the free food at Liberation Larder! In all fairness, they should be paying a bed tax tonight! Shaunti Kiehl Suffolk Park Q The state government will

etc. This would involve a permanent staff and big bucks – Council could not play any part, so who would pay? Appropriate insurance cover with much-enhanced fire and safety provisions would have to be enforced and monitored. Also a new scale of council service charges would have to be imposed for the newly legitimate ‘tourist facilities’. Judging by the non-comments of the holiday let lobby and its cool response at their recent, exclusive consultation with Council, it can be assumed they would not go along – and why would they? The routinely unconsulted

residents’ groups will rightly see this as another ploy set up to fail like the current HL Code whitewash. These and other problems have been constantly pointed out to the originator of the scheme but like the science of coastal erosion and the logic of staff advice on asset sales, nothing goes in.

We anticipate one blast will be required per week, for about eight weeks.

Thanks to David Lovejoy for the rare recognition of the true costs of pesticides (editorial, July 2). They must be proven to be toxic, as part of the registration process, to do their job as applied. But it doesn’t stop then! Non-target effects on the environment and us are real. The US National Academy of Science reported 15 continued on page 14

Traffic delays of up to five minutes can be expected on the Pacific Highway with progressive stoppages from Lawler’s Lane, Newrybar, to Gulgan Road, Tyagarah, during the blasts.

up with the necessary infrastructure. Dare I mention public transport in this area? Can someone from the Labor Party give me an explanation? It seems to me citizens on the north coast have been neglected for years. It also seems that if we do not have leaders willing to represent us and put our taxes into vital infrastructure we eventually pay a much higher price. I look forward to some explanation.

Letters continued from page 13 years ago that ‘despite regulation, pesticides pose a cancer risk’, with 40 per cent of herbicides, 70 per cent of insecticides and 90 per cent of fungicides tested shown to be carcinogenic. All these same listed pesticides are common here, including the dithiocarbamates noted. We also have all the others such as the nerve-poison organophosphates, which contribute to the mind-altering benefits you alluded to, such as Motor Neurone Disease, Multiple Sclerosis,

North Coast news daily: and ADHD. Other chemicals are endocrine system disrupting oestrogenic mimics and breast, prostate and other organ cancers are fast increasing. Our 60-year chemistry experiment shows the reality that potential lower costs from chemical use increases unfortunate individual trauma, and higher health costs for all. Let’s learn to work with nature, rather than the delusion we are in control. Everyone can help lower our risks by supporting Certified Organic farmers rather

than those using pesticides locally, and you get better nutrition as well! David Forrest Federal

Upstream costs In visionless societies that resort to reaction to events rather than long-term planning, downstream effects of upstream causes increasingly cost more because they are not fixed at their source. Fritjof Capra commented as long ago as the 1980s that this was ‘inflationary’. Shaun Fisher’s excellent

letter (Echo, May 21) mentions how liquor accords that attempt to restrict alcohol are a puerile attempt to overcome downstream violence. The same could be said of marches to prevent violence to women, the installation of CCTV cameras and much of the costs of policing. Susan Guibert, reporting on research on empathy in 2010 says, ‘Ever met a kindergartener who seemed naturally compassionate and cared about others’ feelings? Chances are his parents held, carried and cuddled him a

lot; he most likely was breastfed; he probably routinely slept with his parents; and he was likely encouraged to play outdoors with other children, according to new research findings from the University of Notre Dame.’ These ways of dealing with infants are quite obviously upstream means of preventing the inflationary costs of drunkeness and violence. Yet psychology professor Darcia Narvaez says that in the US where studies have been conducted, ‘The US is on a downward trajectory on all

netdaily.net.au of... [child] care characteristics. Instead of being held, infants spend much more time in carriers, car seats and strollers than they did in the past. Only about 15 per cent of mothers are breastfeeding at all by 12 months, extended families are broken up, and free play allowed by parents has decreased dramatically since 1970.’ Susan says, ‘research shows the health and wellbeing of American children is worse than it was 50 years ago.’ Geoff Dawe Uki

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 I lose my current support? No. Your current arrangements will stay in place until you have met DisabilityCare Australia to discuss your needs.

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. Locations that start from July 2013 Barwon region of Victoria ............... People aged 0-64 Hunter region of NSW....................... People aged 0-64 South Australia ................................ Children aged 0-14 Tasmania .............................. Young people aged 15-24 Locations that start from July 2014 ACT.......................................................... People aged 0-64 Barkly region of NT............................. People aged 0-64 From July 2016, DisabilityCare Australia will continue to extend to more locations and age groups around Australia, including Queensland.

Now is the best time to go solar. That’s the view in the current June issue of the Australian Consumers Association monthly, Choice, available at most libraries, including ours. Choice points out that past subsidies, like the federal government’s $8,000 per install combined with the NSW government’s offer of 60 cents feed-in tariff will never return. Since then, solar panels have come down massively in price due to a big increase in global production. When linked to an over-supply of Australian installers, the cost of going solar is not much greater than the price of the gear and labour. Prices are likely to rise, not drop. Choice advises care with four aspects: t *OTUBMM GPS UIF QPXFS you actually will use. Buying more capacity than you use is false economy because the electricity suppliers provide poor rates for what you sell back to the grid. t %P ZPVS CFTU UP SFEVDF your energy usage before deciding what size installation you need. t 1SPWJEF BOE FYBNJOF BU least twelve months of your electricity bills when getting quotes from installers. t #VZ QSPEVDUT XJUI MPOH warranties – typically warrenty duration reflects their quality.

Byron Bay Writers’ Festival

Harriet horrifies, Red forgets and Thomas rebels These reviews were written by students of Byron Bay Public School – they will be assisting Libby Gleeson launch her latest book, Banjo and Ruby Red, on Sunday August 4 at the Byron Bay Writers’ Festival. ber and details so that she can get in touch with Red. Red is an emotional story about identity, friendship and trust. This adventure is full of twists, turns, laughs and tears. I loved this story and thought it was a great read. However, the catastrophic theme and some imagery used may worry younger children and as such I recommend this book to readers 11+.

Horrible Harriet’s Inheritance by Leigh Hobbs Arabella Ferreira 2L – Year 4

Have you ever felt like a queen? Well, Horrible Harriet always feels like a queen. She brims with confidence and exerts power over her friends. She is aptly named ‘Horrible Harriet’ because she is absolutely disgusting! Horrible Harriet is always baking disgusting pies for her teachers, Miss Plume and Mr Scruffy. I absolutely love the way it was written, as if Harriet was writing it. All the way through the book Harriet dreams of herself as a queen and when she finds a letter addressed to HRH Horrible Harriet, she thinks her dream has just come true. My imagination is constantly captured by Leigh Hobbs’s descriptions. It is a very quirky book. My favourite part is when Harriet wanders off into the museum and starts

seeing herself. I recommend this book for younger readers aged 5–9 years, especially those who love a laugh.

Red by Libby Gleeson Azura Crawford 3M – Year 5

Who are you, when you haven’t even got a name? Twelve-year-old ‘Red’ is diagnosed with a terrible case of amnesia when lost, left behind and possibly orphaned by a roof-ripping cyclone that hits Sydney. A giant wave leaves a path of destruction. ‘Red’ is found by a ‘street boy’

name Peri who announces, ‘I am independent, I don’t need anyone!’ When Red turns up, things change, and Peri starts to accept the fact that friends and family are important… they do love you, no matter what. When Red decides to go looking for her family and friends, Peri is against it. He argues with Red until he is convinced that she does need her family. However he is still reluctant to trust the people that want to help them. Red knows that it is too big a job for only two people, so she posts a picture of Peri and herself on a lost-and-found board. Luckily an old friend of Red’s, named Jazz, leaves her phone num-

I Am Thomas by Libby Gleeson Josie Huntsman 3D – Year 5

‘Do your homework. Attend all classes. Answer politely. Clean your room. Make your bed. Clean your nails. Clean your shoes. Clean your teeth. Grow up. Do as we say THINK LIKE US! BE LIKE US!’ All poor Thomas wants is to be accepted for who he is. But how can you be yourself when everyone around you keeps telling you what to do? I Am Thomas is a deep, mean-

ingful picture book about a boy named Thomas who is not like anyone else. However, nobody seems to accept him that way, not even his parents. The teachers at school aren’t impressed with him and neither are the people that walk along the streets. Thomas is faced with a dilemma. People want him to be a politician, a soldier, or lawyer, but Thomas doesn’t want to be any of these things. What decision will he make and will the people around him be pleased with it? The phrases ‘Think like us!’ and ‘Be like us!’ are repeated throughout the book. I found this a very effective device. I could imagine what it was like, with the voices of others constantly interrupting and that one phrase drumming against my conscience, trying to creep its way in. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this picture book and recommend it to mature readers who understand that acceptance and individuality are strong feelings that many young people can relate to. I Am Thomas is one of those books that you want to read over and over again. A terrific read!

On for young and old at the Writers’ Festival Byron Bay Writers’ Festival Sunday opens with a choice of sessions celebrating Australian icons, or the art of collecting or reviewing books, or losing faith in one’s traditional world, or perhaps the adventures of a compulsive traveller, but don’t be surprised to hear delighted squeals of laughter. On Sunday August 4, the New Philosopher Marquee will doff its serious demeanour and welcome younger readers for a feast of activities, readings, cartooning and giveaways. It’s a joyful immersion in imagination, where books come alive and story is everything. Says Festival director Jeni Caffin: ‘It’s madly entertaining to see children hauling their parents through the gates, desperate to get to the marquee and eager to meet their favourite storytellers. These are the writers who are read to them at night, who people their worlds with adventure and who fire their imaginations. We’re nurturing a lifelong love affair with books and in the 17 years that the Festival has existed, we’ve witnessed the emergence of adult readers and writers from these fledgling audiences.’ Romping off to a colour-

ful start is the Maddie and Possum duo, co-hosts of Possum’s Club, Saturday Mornings on PRIME7. The pair will introduce the line-up of writers of picture books, fantasy and futuristic, silly and serious, historical and hysterical. Jeni Caffin reveals: ‘It’s as much fun for the parents as for the children. Kids’ authors know how to reach their readers in the flesh and for an adult, watching your child’s face light up and imagination take flight through the power of story is a delight in itself. But when I’m standing on the sidelines observing, I’m seeing the grownups react in exactly the same way. Big people lose social conditioning and turn into little people for a brief moment.’ So who will be making magic in the marquee? Hugely popular author Libby Gleeson, creator of picture books, novels for little kids and for older readers, will be first to turn the page. Libby will launch her newest book, Banjo and Ruby Red, aided by students from Byron Bay Public School. She will be followed by Leigh Hobbs and by Judy Horacek, household names in children’s literature, published widely and awarded hugely. Leigh and Judy are renowned

What’s New MOBILE MASSAGE The Kiddies Plot The little sprouts are going to love it in The Kiddies Plot – a new space at the New Brighton and Mullumbimby farmers markets that’s just for kids! Each week we’re offering free activities for the younguns that are hands on, eco friendly and fun. The workshops will be led by arts and environmental educators who are passionate about what they do. Here’s a sample of what’s happening in the plot: Ŕ

Animal Yoga with Bunya Halasz

Sow the Seed with Anaheke Metua

Kids’ Art with Paula Corderio

PermaKidz with Bunya Halasz/Andrew Carter

Nature’s Craft with Elena Libero.

In the warmth of your own home Megan Thackeray’s Mobile Massage is perfect if you are time-poor, caring for children or a disabled relative, don’t want to go to a clinic/day spa or just want to chill at home without the drive afterwards. Remedial and relaxation massage are both important to include in your life along with appropriate exercise and a good diet. Additionally, lymphatic drainage is a necessary treatment for cancer survivors, especially those with lymphoedema. Lymphatic drainage is also a wise choice as a detox for anyone who cares about their health.

The bountiful Mullum Farmers Markets can be found at the Mullum Showgrounds, Main Arm Road, between 7 and 11am on Friday mornings. Rain, hail or shine!

Grab your farm-fresh basket of goodies, then relax with a coffee and market brekkie while watching the kids as they are kept busy. The Kiddies Plot is sponsored by the market farmers, who love to support the community that supports them (they’re also proud supporters of school kitchen garden projects, surf life saving clubs and community gardens, just to name a few). It’s fantastic to see the kids beneﬁt directly from the money you spend supporting our wonderful farmers. Maybe that’s why being at the farmers markets makes everyone feel so good!

Tell me about the characters you play. Our characters have, as happens, grown out of ourselves. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Miss B (short for Miss Beatrice Blodwyn Bimble) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; she loves the colour blue and all things that begin with the letter B, such as bikes and bandicoots and babiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bottoms. She is very intelligent and loves to share amazing facts in her Miss B Moments. Sunshine is our sunny cousin. She loves the colour yellow best of all. She has a glorious singing voice and loves to be outside, where her hair goes as curly as Miss Bâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Cocoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Coco is full of fun! Her favourite colour is red. She wears her hair in pigtails â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;cause she can. Coco loves making new friends and playing her washboard in the band. The great thing about having characters with clear personalities is that it gives us a chance to play around with our alter egos! How did the Cousins come to be performing together? The Curly Cousins is the brainchild of Miss B (alias Laurel Cohn). In late 2008 Laurel had the vision to create an opportunity for young people in regional areas to experience live music with musicians playing real instruments (as opposed to singing to backing tapes), and to be exposed to sophisticated, fun, engaging music to inspire and delight â&#x20AC;&#x201C; music that could be appreciated by young and old alike. She teamed up with talented musician Rochelle Wright (Sunshine), a friend with whom she had worked over the years in bands and in early childhood music, and experienced performer Mandy Morris (Coco) a fellow Playback Theatre member. Since their first collaboration the band and the characters have grown organically. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as if the Curly Cousins were meant to be. What kind of show do you want to put on for the kids? First and foremost we want it to be fun for the whole audience. We are parents ourselves and know what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like to sit through excruciating childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entertainment, so we aim to make the experience as enjoyable for the adults as well as the kids. We share our love of music and theatre, and of the magic of a being taken on a journey â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we want the audience to enjoy the humour, laugh in recognition at the situations we model between the characters, and to simply enjoy the harmonies and instrumentation of our song arrangements. Sharing positive values that encourage a healthy engagement with the world around us is a driving motivator, but we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t preach to our audience; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more about being role models than teachers. Are kids a tough audience? Yes! But we love the challenge. Their responses are so honest. If theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not interested,

they just do their own thing (and that, scarily, could be ANYthing). It keeps us on our toes as performers and certainly our improvisational skills from Playback Theatre come in handy! There are two great things in particular about performing for young children. The first is you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get more adoring fans! Hey, how many musicians around here regularly get mobbed in supermarket aisles by their fanbase, with beautiful boys flirting with them across a crowded farmers market! And secondly, as working musos, the gigs are at family-friendly times. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all played in bands for adult audiences too, but we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss the late nights, especially with young children of our own! Tell me about the new show. We are excited about the new show: All About Me! Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a bit of an edge to it and

touches three particular issues that most parents can relate to. Miss B goes square-eyed with computer games, Coco gets over-excited with red lollies and Sunshine turns cloudy! Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Cousins like youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never seen them before. How do they deal with screen time, eating sweets and dealing with the grumps? Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to come to the show to find out! What should our local kids expect for the show at the Drill Hall? To have fun. To learn a little more about their favourite Curly Cousin characters. To move and groove. To hear brand new material. To enjoy the Curly magic! Drill Hall Theatre in Mullumbimby, Friday and Saturday, 10.30am and 2pm. Tickets are $ 10. Discounted family tickets available. Enquiries to curlycousins@gmail.com.

LOYALTY IS FOR DOGS The other day I opened my wallet to find my eftpos card. It wasn’t immediately visible. Not because it was lost, but because it was wedged somewhere in one of the clusters I have of loyalty cards. Every time I go into a store now and purchase an item the retail assistant says, ‘would you like to go on our rewards scheme?’ or ‘are you a loyalty card member?’, ‘would you like to know what specials we have coming up?’ No. I wouldn’t. I don’t care. If I am at home I don’t want an email from you telling me your undies are half price. Or a text. If I were waiting for a kidney transplant I’d understand the urgency. If I needed a kidney then I’d certainly be hoping I could get some sort of card to accumulate points to up my chances of getting a compatible organ. It might be hard for some people to believe but I actually find it hard to be rude to people, and when some poor sales assistant launches into the pitch that they’ve been told to deliver to every customer, sometimes I don’t have the heart to shoot

The Bridie Pill David Bridie launches his fourth solo album Wake live at Mullumbimby’s Courthouse Hotel this Thursday. Seventime ARIA winner Bridie will be joined onstage by Eden Mulholland, frontman of Motorcade, who will also perform a solo set. Bridie remains one of the most distinctive voices and songwriters in Australian music. His soulful rasp offers unique insights, deep empathy and asks hard questions into the human condition. Hear, hear! From 7pm.

them down with a ‘Fuck No’. I’ll go, ‘sure’. And the next thing I know I’m offering up my email address and contact details to some chain store who then goes on to become some sort of retail pest, hassling me every few days about their 1,000-thread sheets, bulk deals on monogrammed mugs and the new season knits. I don’t do flybuys. Every time I go to Woolies they ask about the rewards card. I’m embarrassed to be seen in there, I’m hardly going to sign up for a rewards card. Then they say, ‘do you have flybuys?’ Every time I say No it feels a bit like I’ve contracted some sort of retail herpes. According to The Checkout, the latest offering from The Chaser boys who are now targeting consumer affairs, loyalty, rewards cards and flybuys schemes are part of an elaborate form of data collection on individual consumer behaviour. In the not too distant future there are plans to launch interactive digital billboards. As you drive past they’ll pick up on your smart phone, link to your consumer info, and from your recent spending behaviour they’ll ascertain what your current interests are. Say you’re constipated and you’ve had a colonic, and tried a few laxatives, you’ll drive past a billboard and it will say, ‘Mandy Nolan, do you need a poo? Easycol… available at your local chemist.’ Every individual will receive their own target message. I couldn’t fathom living in a world like this; it’s like a scene out of Minority Report. What about people with mental illnesses who actually hear voices? How is anyone going to know if they are crazy or not if billboards start

SYDNEY MORNING HERALD

Everyone will go crazy. It’s information overwhelm. In a world of digital target marketing only those without an iPhone, loyalty card or a flybuy card are free. The homeless will have a personal liberty no longer afforded to the affluent. Unless the billboards find a way to insult the data-less. Imagine the shit billboards could give nonconformists: ‘You’re a disappointment’, ‘No-one likes you’. Suddenly technology has created a way to program the human machine into the super shopper. There are some businesses fighting back. In the states, there are some cafes offering DISloyalty cards – they give customers a bonus if they don’t come back. So next time you are about to sign up for a loyalty scheme consider this: the average program saves you about $1 for every $100 spent. Is your personal information really worth that little? And why are we committing ourselves to multinationals? Retail monogamy is boring. Be a spending slut and shop around.

The YACROCKCAFE kicked off in March last year and for the last 18 months it has seen up to four young bands playing every Friday night. This Friday sees a very special show happening at the Byron YAC with some heavy-duty hardcore from bands Vices, Surrender, and Bodies In Barrels. Vices’ live performances are full of heart and energy, with brutally honest and faith-based lyrics combined with a live show that can only be described as chaotic. Bodies In Barrels see their music as focused upon good old solid riffing and melodic groove. Expect a high-energy show from these three young acts who are all musically, technically and lyrically far more mature than their ages suggest! The YACROCKCAFE is in desperate need of upgrading some of their sound equipment and obtaining funding to continue the program. They are currently seeking support from anyone interested in contributing financially; all donations are tax deductible. They are also seeking volunteers to assist with the weekly

s r a t S WITH LILITH The present nurturing Cancerian vibes want everyone spending quality time with family, friends, community and tribe of familiar minds…

E ARIES: This week’s absorbed in the joys of homecentred activities: entertaining, DIY projects or just general gussying-up. Venus in look-at-me Leo and Uranus in your own high-spirited sign generate plenty of sexual electricity which tempts you to spurof-the-moment spending. Is that wise? F TAURUS: With moods changeable and behaviour temperamental, this week’s people won’t respond well to pressure, will need support and understanding. Only up to a point though, which doesn’t include catering to excessive expectations or knocking yourself out trying to decipher power sulks. Just take it nice and easy… G GEMINI: Use Mars’s last days in Gemini to clarify your financial goals, especially concerning the specific skills and talents you have to offer. Start by rearranging priorities, consider some savvy expense cuts, then address in-depth economic reorganisation. If others aren’t on board, they’ll be more interested in a fortnight. H CANCER: This week’s planetary gathering in Cancer is wildly auspicious for making important changes which needn’t be grand and sweeping (although they might), but even if small can have widespread consequences. So make that inventory and wish list, and yes – you are being asked to extend your range.

2013 NORTHERN RIVERS PORTRAIT PRIZE An exhibition of the finalists: 8 June to 14 July 2013, Lismore Regional Gallery. The last week of the Northern Rivers Portrait Prize is upon us. The Northern Rivers Portrait Prize acknowledges people who are well known to us, as well as others who are lesser known, but whose personal significance to the artists can be transferred to people in our own lives. The Prize clearly demonstrates the wonderful diversity of our community as a whole. The overall winner for this year was Rene Bolten’s elegant work, depicting Jenny London, who worked passionately for many years running RED INC advocating for people with disabilities in the northern rivers region. The breadth of artistic styles and approach to portraiture this year has been extensive with artists exploring a diversity of sitters.

COLLABORATION 3@2 ‘YOU & ME’

‘Collaboration 3@2’ is the concept behind this year’s group exhibitions between the three galleries. Two galleries will hold an exhibition around the concept of collaboration. ‘You & Me’ will take place at the Roxy Gallery from 2 July and run through till 3 August 2013, with the official opening taking place on Friday 5 July from 6pm; and ‘Me & You’ will open at the Serpentine Gallery on 30 July and run through until 19 August 2013, with the official opening being held on Friday 2 August. These exhibitions are opportunities for all three galleries to highlight the wonderful array of talented creative people living in the northern rivers region and provide enriching cultural experiences for all the residents and visitors to our area.

The Northern Rivers Portrait Prize is generously supported by Hurford Hardwood and Armsign.

We Steal Secrets: The Story Of WikiLeaks

:H[ ͎TH͍1\S` FEDERAL HALL Dinner from ͍pm Movie starts at ͍pm MLKLYHS͍Ä ST͍ZVJPL[` JVT or tel 6688 4465

One should declare one’s prejudices before commenting on matters that polarise opinion; I’m not a camp follower of Julian Assange. For mine, he is just another self-righteous showpony who, by accepting succour from a regime that denies journalists in its own country the freedom of speech that he claims to be champion of, has shown himself to be a supreme hypocrite and exploited fool. Alex Gibney’s doco, which is neither hagiography nor hatchet job, did nothing to dissuade me of my view, but, if anything, it is more balanced than both Assange’s detractors and supporters would prefer. ‘Boys with toys’ is an expression

formerly applied to the masters of war and their sophisticated [sic] weaponry – today, power has shifted to those who control information. It is still a bloke’s world, however, and as a supremo computer geek with matching ego, Assange quickly became a player of stunning, unforeseen significance. The phenomenon of WikiLeaks, from the high-minded if simplistic ideals of its inception to its undignified hubris, is charted here with clarity and with the unequivocal testament of all parties involved, on both sides of the fence. Assange comes across as unnervingly amoral and not immune to the trappings of rock stardom, but the true hero,

if we can use that cheapened word, is Bradley Manning, the American soldier who, as whistleblower, provided WikiLeaks with its most explosive data. An outsider obsessed with his sexuality, Manning’s weird story is intensely compelling for its humanity, as is Adrian Lamo’s, the confidant who dobbed him in. The kneejerk dismissal and vilification by the mob gathered below the balcony of Equador’s London embassy, like pilgrims at the Vatican, of the Swedish women

who accused Assange of sexual assault bring to mind the ‘ditch the witch’ treatment meted out to our first female PM. What we allow to be done in the course of defending our freedom is

as much a matter for public scrutiny as it is for personal reflection. This probing film is a welcome rebuttal of the foolish cult of the messiah.~ John Campbell

26 July 9, 2013 The Byron Shire Echo

To quote the late, great Dennis Hopper in Land of the Dead… ‘zombies, they freak me out, man’. I was scared witless when I first saw George Romero’s classic Night of the Living Dead and have been a fan of the undead ever since. But developments in special effects have resulted in a new breed of the horrible things. Back in 1968 they shuffled about at a rate most of us could outpace – now they run as fast as Usain Bolt, squealing and grunting like creatures from Hieronymus Bosch’s hell. When they arrive bloodstained and uninvited in your neck of the woods you can only pray that beautiful Brad Pitt is nearby to help out. Nobody knows how the outbreak started – nobody ever does – but this time the entire planet has been engulfed by zombie mayhem. Brad, a former UN troubleshooter, is in a Philadelphia traffic jam with his pale wife and cute daughters when the gore fest hits town. In a fantastic opening scene, Brad ensures that his young family is delivered to the safety of a US aircraft carrier, where he is prevailed upon to come out of retirement and save humanity. It’s the labours of Hercules all over again as Brad flies to Korea to investigate an early report of an incident, and from there

to Jerusalem. The sight of the zombies scaling the walls of the Holy City is awesome and Brad is lucky to escape, jumping on a Belarus Air jet with a girl from the Israeli army whose left hand he’d lopped off after she was bitten by one of the undead. Fortunately she’s as tough as Brad and, after he fixes up her wound by splashing airline vodka on it they head for Cardiff. But no! There are zombies on the plane, so Brad blows a hole in the fuselage with a grenade and they’re all sucked out… but the plane crashes… and nobody survives but Brad and the chick… I loved it. ~ John Campbell

Chef/Proprietor Belongil Bistro

ABOUT YOU How did you come to live here? Came to northern rivers to get out of the rat race. Tell us a little about your background? A 25-year career as a chef working under prolific chefs in award-winning kitchens around the world. Now a chef/restaurateur using the skills and knowledge I have acquired on my journey. Who is your greatest influence? My father, who works hard, does things well and lives by a good set of ethics. Also great cooks who acknowledge food history and understand the roots of utilising ingredients to eliminate waste. What's the best piece of advice you've been given? Never write an email after youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a beer. What is the most rewarding thing about what you do? Satisfaction from receiving great feedback about a meal or experience that a customer has had. Years ago, as a young chef, we quietly amused ourselves at having served food to a famous individual or celebration in high-end establishments. Equally we gained the respect and enjoyment from peers and family at having endured harsh conditions in professional environments where most employees could not survive. ABOUT YOUR RESTAURANT How would you describe your restaurant? A comfortable conscious space in tranquil surrounds staffed by professionals with great skills. Our people have excellent knowledge in their field delivering food and beverages above most people's expectations. What are your opening hours? Every day 7amâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;3pm. Dinner on Fri and Sat till 10pm.

is with us and we are more keenly aware than ever that there are people in Byron Bay who need our help to keep healthy. As well as the food that is generously donated by numerous businesses we need more fresh fruit and veggies, milk (or money for), plastic containers for freezing food for emergency meals. If you are moving house or going on holiday bring in the stuff from your fridge! If you have fruit trees that are drooping with fruit let us pick them! If your cows need milking bring them in and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll milk them for you! Whatever is excess in your larder will be very much welcomed in ours. And it will all help provide meals for the needy in Byron. Contact email: liberationlarder@gmail. com or call Liz Swain 0412459772

Groups oppose feds’ ‘tax on learning’ A broad range of peak professional bodies have joined together to call on the federal government to abandon the proposal to cap tax deductions for self-education expenses. ‘At a time when education has never been more important, the measure effectively imposes a tax on learning,’ said the alliance in a media release. ‘The government has not made the case for change and it has ignored the importance of self-education and mandatory continuing of professional development for the safety and quality of services in key sectors such as health care delivery as well as for Australia’s economic future. ‘The $2,000 per annum cap will discourage many people from progressing professional careers and will especially disadvantage rural areas reliant on health practitioners with broad and up-to-date skills. ‘The cap threatens Australia’s ability to become a produc-

tive, innovative, contemporary knowledge-based economy. ‘Nurses, doctors, dentists, engineers, veterinarians, universities, accountants, postgraduate students, architects, pharmacists, lawyers, directors and many services professionals have all come together in a bid to prevent this budget measure from undermining the Australian economy and the future health and wellbeing of the community. ‘The cap will discourage people from being sufficiently prepared for the high-value jobs of a modern services and knowledge-based economy. ‘Planning for a suitably educated workforce for the future is essential for any government and must ensure that teachers themselves are not discouraged from up-grading their skills and knowledge. ‘Skill shortages do nothing to increase productivity.’ Read more at www.universitiesaustralia.edu.au.

Devils shoot down Bombers to move into top five John Campbell

By thumping the Evans Head Bombers, Byron Bay has inched closer to booking a place for itself in the NRRRL play-offs. The Devils travelled south knowing that a loss to the side with whom they were running neck and neck on the ladder would be disastrous. After a string of impressive if not too-demanding victories, this was a crunch game – and they’d sealed the deal with 30 still left on the clock. The final score of 32–20 might suggest a tight struggle, but it was only heavy legs

(the going was sodden underfoot) and an early punching of the bundy that allowed the home side to belatedly improve on a 32–6 deficit. Captain Ryan ‘the Crab’ O’Connell got the ball rolling when he dived over next to the upright from dummyhalf. O’Connell plays above his weight week in, week out, and his quick thinking gave the side an ideal start. But the Bombers, a tough and hungry outfit, were quick to draw level. A glut of possession saw them camped in the Devils’ half and their persistence was rewarded when their raw-boned five-eighth (he was a problem all day)

www.byron.nsw.gov.au PROPOSED 40 KM/H SPEED LIMIT AND HIGH PEDESTRIAN ACTIVITY AREAS Bangalow and Brunswick Heads Council is seeking submissions in regard to the proposal for a 40km per hour speed limit to apply within newly created High Pedestrian Activity Areas (HPAA) which will be deﬁned by signs, line marking and minor physical works at the entry/exit sites. The proposal is for two town centre areas as follows, noting that all treatments will be developed at grade (i.e. no raised platforms or humps are proposed): s Byron Street, Bangalow, from the Lismore and Granuaille Road roundabout to the Byron Street and Station Street intersection and s Brunswick Heads town centre, as bounded by Fingal Street, The Terrace, Mullumbimbi Street and Park Street and include the length of South Beach Road (which is from The Terrace to the surf club). Both schemes are depicted and further detail is available on Council’s website.

The implementation of the scheme remains subject to community feedback, along with designs and cost estimates, being reported back to Council for endorsement (or not) prior to an approval and funding application being lodged with the Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) who are the approval authority in regard to speed limits and HPAA. A NSW Transport fact sheet on 40km/h HPAA schemes is available online at www.rta.nsw.gov.au/roadsafety/downloads/40kmhzone_ factsheet.pdf. Submissions should be in writing and addressed to the General Manager, Byron Shire Council, PO Box 219 Mullumbimby 2482 or sent by email to submissions@byron.nsw.gov.au.

found his way to the line. Evans were pumped. The battle for ascendency in the next passage of play would be crucial to the outcome. Byron survived the onslaught and responded with a double dose of what their hosts had dished out. They registered three converted tries in a 15-minute spree, but the realisation of their attacking potential was built entirely on the resoluteness of their line defence. The forwards, led by ‘Toothless’ Simon Kelly, just kept turning up to block any hole and bury the ball carrier – it appears that they enjoy the challenge and thrive on each other’s commitment. At last with a decent share of possession, the tries came fast and furious. Jared ‘Monsieur’ De Thierry, returning from his skiing jaunt in St Moritz, jinked and dummied from a scrum win before sending Scott ‘Brazilian’ Stapleton away. Hot potato passing finished with Joseph ‘General’ Gordon crossing the chalk. Livewire lock Sam ‘Bob’ Dwyer was next to score and, shortly before or-

anges, centre Chris ‘BB’ King swatted his opposite away like he was Louis the Fly and sprinted in to make it 22–6. Deathly silence greeted the Bombers as they skulked into the sheds. There was no magic turnaround for the home side. Stapleton was in after clinical lead-up that had the charismatic Duane ‘Drano’

Cahill chiming into the line from fullback, followed by Noel ‘Hairy Legs’ King conjuring a try from nothing. Like the great KD Walters, Noel enjoys a quiet ciggie before entering the fray and, like the Dungog dasher, he is an enigma. Receiving the pill from De Thierry on the touchline and surrounded like

Custer at Little Big Horn, he evaded the desperate enemy before chipping infield for himself and collecting a bizarre bounce to score a try that was rightly celebrated with wild enthusiasm by his teammates. This Sunday, Byron take on the Grafton Ghosts in a heavyweight encounter that should not be missed.

The bumps, bats and boxes of the NSM Brian Mollet

On a mist-shrouded meadow in the wild hills of Wanganui is archaeological evidence that there were once great cricket gatherings among the rustic locals. Certain initiates can still walk you over the site pointing out the bump in the grass where Nick Shand parked his butt waiting to bat, the clover flowers that line Ed the witchdoctor’s run-up, or the withered branch where Mungo Macallum once warmed his box in the sun. These days you can still see the odd vestige of the Wanganui spirit in the Nick Shand Memorial Cricket Series, the competition that keeps people like cultural anthropologists in a job. Lomath Oval was as fine and cool as a coy mistress on Sunday as high-flying Byronites the Full-Tossers took on reigning champs, the clannish cliff-dwellers of Left Bank. Scruff won the toss and asked Byron to bat, the captains to their credit agreeing that all play was to take place from the southern end, thus avoiding any potentially catastrophic clashes with the large turnout of netballers on the adjacent courts.

Left Bank had the better of the first session, veteran debutante Phil taking the first scalp of the season with a nice in-dipper and Eli holding a nice running catch off Zac’s bowling. Neil was nudging the ball around and Mark thumped the first boundary but the scorer was snoring at 2–48 at drinks. This was all to change in the second session as Byron came out swinging like Dave Warner and Paul Gallen standing back to back. Mark, Greg-O, Christian and Jeff all cleared the boundary cones like an art student clears cones. Before you could say ‘where’s the money’ the FullTossers had run off, compiling an imposing 178. In reply the Bankers were scoring like Amy Winehouse’s manager but Janny took Leon’s wicket for 25 and Neil and Chris (3– 12) also had success, the honours even at the last break at 4–75. Scruff swung his slablike bat around and tonked up 30 in a no-nonsense way, leaving the cleanup crew, Simon and Brian, to polish things off. Late scalps to Ash, GregO and Jeff messed things up to the point where 21 were

still needed and last men in were ‘stonewall’ Phil and retiree Scruff. Phil dug in at one end like a driller on the St Helena tunnel crew, bunting around a few singles while Scruff hit the paydirt with his

unbeaten 54 to bring home the game and three votes in the Saffron Shand good sport award, sponsored by the Courthouse Hotel. Next week the switchedon Suffolk Swingers take on the tuned-out Main Armers.

Shiners rise to the Challenge Byron two for two over Tigers Joe Davidson

For the second time this season the Byron Coopers Magpies defeated 2012 Premiers Tweed Coast Tigers. This time the game was held at Byron’s home ground in Bangalow on Saturday afternoon. A slow start to the game by Byron allowed Tweed to gain control for most of the first half. Strong leads by centre half forward Zeke Hower brought the ball towards Byron’s scoring end a number of times, but disappointing shots at goal let the team down up to the half-time break. Half-time scores were Byron 2.7.19 to Tweed 4.3.27. Coach Dave Gee must have said something right Like a ghost in the night, Jarad Hicks is off and away. Photo Tayla Clorley. Dean Trevaskis

With the Moonshiners coming off a loss and third place Evans Head’s pushing for a top two spot, the stakes were high at Brunswick Heads on Saturday. The Rugby gods provided glorious weather, the crowd arrived in numbers and the action was fast and furious. For the second week running Mullum had got pantsed at the kick-off. Early field position and an elusive outside centre had the Evans Killer Whales celebrating a soft try within the first 90 seconds. They looked like following up with a pick and drive at the line only to be held up in a green and gold hot dog bun. Either that or the imposing figure of Coach Shane Ivey on the sidelines sparked the Shiners to life. A clearing kick, clever offload from Leon MatchettOates and scything run from Scott Hazlewood-Potts had the Evans defence scrambling five metres from their line. Nathan Appel showed great composure to direct traffic through half a dozen phases before seizing the moment with a pick and go be-

tween a staggered Evans line to make it one try apiece. The Evans counter was down the wing and looked promising until Mullum’s will-o’-the-wisp fullback, Jacob ‘Kahunas’ Johnston, landed a massive tackle that echoed a dull thud and drew grimaces then cheers from the crowd. Mullum’s best on ground Simon Hutton made the run of the day out of defence, evading seven defenders, a heavy bump and the laws of physics to keep running when his arse was barely an inch from the ground. The fast pace and physicality began to take its toll. Evans’s halfback Andy Levett went down with a serious injury that required hospitalisation for a possible spine injury. As of Sunday night he’d been cleared of any major damage and discharged but was awaiting further scans. Evans added a penalty to take an 8–7 lead at the end of torrid first half. Mullum halfback Jackson Lewin upped the tempo after the break. The quick ball kicked the backs into rhythm. Withering runs from Hutton and Jonston, topped off with

a barging effort from Lachlan Stubbings, provided the body blows to soften the Evans defence. James Chester took full advantage, breaking a tackle to score a five-pointer. Minutes later he nailed the daily double with a powerful solo effort from 20 metres out that saw him crash over the line with three defenders on his back. The lead was out to 13 points. Evans raised another effort and strung the phases together playing in Mullum’s half for ten minutes. But there were no gaps and when Mullum put the brakes on an Evans maul, the shackles were soon broken with quick movement through the backs. It was the last hurrah in a pulsating 21–8 victory for the Shiners. Hazlett, Hicks and Nathan Appel were all excellent but the unsung heroes were props Adam Ryan and Lachlan Stubbings, driving the Mullum pack unchanged all game and nullifying their more experienced opponents. This Saturday the Shiners are off to Lismore with the spoils for the winner beingtop rung of the ladder.

during the break as Byron’s third quarter was a complete turnaround. Zac Petty and Ash Tivendale moved the ball out of the back line to set up goals and momentum swung to the Magpies. Heath Griggs snapped a ripper of a goal at the northern end of the ground to lift the side and give them an eight-point lead at threequarter time. Goals continued to flow in the fourth quarter with Nathan Moon following up his own kick to rove and complete a shot at goal on the run. Byron supporters were clearly pleased with their team’s display with most of the flow going towards the home team’s goal. Liam Afflick found his

line and kicked truly to push Byron out of the reach of Tweed. The final score in an impressive win was Byron 12.12.84 to Tweed 6.5.41. Beach Hotel and Pantry 29 Awards went to Zeke Hower, Ash Tivendale, Kane Bullock, Nathan Moon, Sam Mitchell, Heath Griggs and Zac Petty. Injured forward Jared Matheson continued to do what he does best: absolutely nothing. Goal scorers were Liam Afflick 3, Kane Bullock 2, Heath Griggs 2, Zeke Hower, Nathan Moon, Dane Winstanley, Ryan McMillan and Matt Shaw. Next weekend Byron will play Burleigh Heads in another home game at Bangalow.

Summit addresses future housing supply ‘The risk of adverse social consequences due to a failure to adequately supply affordable housing for Australia’s growing population was a central theme of [the recent] Housing Industry Association annual Building Better Cities Summit,’ said HIA Chief Executive Industry Policy and Media Graham Wolfe. Attendees at the summit heard firsthand from an eminent list of local and international speakers about the challenges facing Australia in housing the population over the coming decades and the consequences if demand is not met. ‘Australia needs to build another 1.3 million homes by 2020 to meet current population projections; however, at the current rate of

building we will we fall 150,000 homes short, said Mr Wolfe. ‘Failure at all levels of government over a number of years to address the fundamental constraints to housing supply has seen residential construction experiencing its longest trend decline in post war history. ‘However, there are policy solutions. Greater competition in the finance sector and a close look at unlocking superannuation for housing are just two examples that were canvassed at

the summit.’ Keynote speaker, the shadow treasurer Joe Hockey, gave an overview of the Coalition’s approach to housing and the broader economy, including floating the proposal for a federal government to provide incentives to state governments that meet housing targets. ‘The housing industry would welcome a debate on federal-state incentives aimed at achieving housing supply targets,’ said Mr Wolfe. See more at http.//hia.com.au

Ban on property developers ‘absurd’ The proposal to ban people involved in the property industry from seeking pre-selection for Parliament is absurd, according to the Property Council of Australia. ‘The notion of banning people from participating in public life based on their past occupation is offensive and unworkable,’ NSW executive director Glenn Byres said last week. The roll call of Labor MPs paraded before ICAC includes a former publisher, farmer, teacher and nurses’ union official. ‘At its core, the property industry is the management of the superannuation savings of millions of Australians by investing in stable assets for the long-term. We are totally supportive of corruption watchdogs targeting, investigating and facilitating prosecution of bad practices – regardless of who is involved. But creating a system of electoral apartheid based on occupational histories is gesture politics.’ See more at propertyoz.com.au.

The Australian Tax Office has moved in to the realm of tax returns ‘for the rest of us’, and now has an e-tax form for Mac users. Backlash gave it a run and found it easy to follow, especially if you use the ‘question and answer’ route, and the file saves to your desktop so you can come back to it later. One caution, however: when you get to the proof of identity stage you will most likely need a recent notice of assessment on hand to provide identity details. Q Q Q Q

Those radical socialist nerds at the World Meteorological Organisation have analysed the climate data for 2001–2010 and concluded: ‘The decade was the warmest for both hemispheres and for both land and ocean surface temperatures. The record warmth was accompanied by a rapid decline in Arctic sea ice, and accelerating loss of net mass from the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets and

from the world’s glaciers. As a result of this widespread melting and the thermal expansion of sea water, global mean sea levels rose about three millimetres (mm) per year, about double the observed 20th century trend of 1.6 mm per year.’ Think we’re shitting you as part of some global conspiracy?

The Anglo-Saxon White Bread Supremacy hangs on despite the tide of internationalism. Byron Shire’s top surnames as listed in the 2013/14 Lismore White and Yellow Pages are once again Smith, followed by Taylor. In a shock move, Jones has edged Brown into fourth place while Williams and Martin remain stable at fifth and sixth respectively. Despite the arrival of Lee (2), Nguyen (3), Chen (4), Kim (5), Wang (9), Li (10) and Zhang (11) in the top 20 surnames for Sydney, Smith, Jones, Williams, Brown, and Thomas are surnames that feature in every state’s top 20 list.

Bizarrely the whistleblowing website was denied public donations almost three years ago after financial giants VISA, MasterCard, PayPal, the Bank of America and Western Union were pressured (or not) by the US government. WikiLeaks says MasterCard is the only company to reverse their deci-

sion. In contrast, HSBC bank was slapped a record $1.9bn fine to settle Mexican drug money-laundering allegations in December last year. It’s sobering to ask whether you trust your governments and banks or whistleblowers more. Donations by credit cards to WikiLeaks can be made through https:// paygate.datacell.com.
