Walking a doggy mile

Pumpkin, Grace, Nina and Oliver are ready to ‘Walk a Mile in my Shoes’, a fundraising event in Brunswick Heads that aims to raise funds for the Westmead Children’s Hospital Research unit. The idea came from local business operator Bob Keers from the Whatever shop in Park Street, Brunswick Heads, and it quickly gained support. Mullumbimby Rotary will put on a barbecue after the walk, and the Girl Guides, BARCO and the Bruns Bowlo are all involved. Get a group together and participate! Gather after 10am for a 10.30am start at the Brunswick Heads Bowling Club barbecue area on Sunday September 8. For more information, email chamber@brunswickheads.org.au. Photo Jeff Dawson

Bluesfest 2014 first act announcement ‘It’s our twenty-fifth birthday!’ Bluesfest director Peter Noble enthused at the announcement of a milestone in Australian and world festival history. ‘We are going to be celebrating this one as never before and will deliver you one hell of a lineup, and mark my words: this is only the beginning!’ And so here are the 2014 acts: John Mayer, the Dave Matthews Band, John Butler Trio, Erykah Badu, Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, Iron & Wine, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Devendra Banhart, Morcheeba, Gary Clark Jr, KT Tunstall, Allen Stone and Valerie June. ‘John Mayer is finally back after seven years to play at Bluesfest again, says Noble. ‘When it comes to guitar he is undoubtedly to me the most talented of all performing today, simply untouchable. ‘I predict his new album Paradise Valley, released last week, is going to be at the top of the charts worldwide this week.

‘This is such a coup for us, and I am so proud to be presenting John on our big celebration year. We are not stopping there – I have attempted to bring back the Dave Matthews Band every year since they last played Bluesfest in 2005. ‘They are one of the top grossing, most in demand bands in the world – up there with the best of the best – and finally they are coming back to Bluesfest, for, not one, but two complete performances. ‘This is going to be magical and unmissable. I know their fans will be celebrating, and flying in, from all over the world for these incredibly special performances.’ Notching up 25 years of world-class music in 2014, the Bluesfest five-day festival will be held over the Easter long weekend, April 17–21, at the Tyagarah Tea Tree Farm, north of Byron Bay. For more visit www.bluesfest.com.au. Single-day tickets go on sale with first announcement.

Byron Shire Council Notices Pages 44–45

Ewingsdale sports complex haemorrhaging cash: report It’s been revealed that the Byron Regional Sport and Cultural Complex (BRSCC) in Ewingsdale lost $300,173 last year and is critically underutilised. The claims come from an external report on BRSCC management, by SGL Consultants, that are to be tabled at this Thursday’s Council meeting. Regarding finances, the report says, ‘for every $4 of expenditure to operate facilities, only $1 in revenue is raised.’ Furthermore the report’s authors say that it’s ‘unlikely that Council will attract a suitable financial return from contracting out management as the first 12 months’ operations indicated there are a significant range of business constraints.’ BRSCC opened over a year ago at a cost in excess of $17m and was a jointly funded project between Council and the federal government, who contributed $9.5m. But Council has so far been unsuccessful in securing suitable management of the state-of-the-art facility and its 13.27 hectares; currently contract staff under direction by Council’s society and culture division act as managers of the

complex’s indoor facilities, outdoor netball/basketball courts and adjacent toilet/storage block. Earlier this year, negotiations with the PCYC to manage the facility were terminated by Council’s general manager Ken Gainger. And in light of the new SGL report, a new ‘direct management’ model will be now considered at Council’s next meeting. Mr Gainger said that direct management would enable Council to keep control of the facility while maximising community use. ‘In addition, new management initiatives would be introduced to reduce the current operating costs.’ ‘For example, the multipurpose facility has a superb commercial kitchen. If we retain a direct management model, Council will pursue leasing the space to a catering company that would be granted catering rights for events at the building.’ Also at this week’s ordinary meeting, Council will consider a report on the proposed Billinudgel Sportsfield. The report recommends that Council withdraw from negotiations with the landowner and consider other locations in the north of the Shire.

Rail trail study funding avail: MP Page Hans Lovejoy

Funding availabilty for a feasibility study into a rail trail on the Casino to Murwillumbah rail line has been announced by minister for the north coast, Don Page. Northern Rivers Rail Trail Inc (NRRT Inc) warmly welcomed the announcement, however train advocate Karin Kolbe from TOOT (Trains On Our Tracks) voiced concerns that the tracks would be

covered and a temporary bike path constructed over the rails. She told The Echo, ‘We need to have our bike tracks beside the rail, or to take our bikes on the train.’ Mr Page, when asked if he advocated a rail trail beside the rail or on the railways, said, ‘The rail trail would be for the most part on the existing track area and certainly within the rail corridor.’ Mr Page also said he would continued on page 3

Community scores $25K from fest The venue North Byron Parklands, in conjunction with the Splendour in the Grass festival, has announced its community grant recipients. A total of $25,000 will be distributed to: Shores United Soccer Club $10,000, Tidy Towns Ocean Shores $5,000, WIRES $2,000, Ocean Shores Primary School $2,000, Crabbes Creek Primary School $2,000, The Pocket Primary School $2,000, and Brunswick Heads Primary School $2,000. ‘It is only appropriate that we give back,’ said Splendour in the Grass organiser Jessica Ducrou. ‘We acknowledge that not everybody benefits from events.’ Splendour in the Grass says it has donated over $350,000 in direct cash donations throughout Byron Shire during its 13-year history. This figure excludes funds raised through the many hundreds of tickets donated to schools and community groups. It also excludes the hundreds of thousands of dollars raised

at the festival itself by community groups over the years. ‘We struggle from year to year to exist,’ said Mark Patten, president of the Shores United Soccer Club. ‘This is a marvellous thing for a small struggling club. It’s really going to help with the club’s survival

and will ensure that future generations of young people will be able to play the game of soccer at Ocean Shores.’ Tina Petroff, president of Ocean Shores Tidy Towns Committee, said, ‘It’s awesome to have the support of North Byron Parklands for

our local environmental and landcare efforts. This $5,000 will go toward much-needed equipment as well as regular maintenance programs at the Lions and Shipway Lookout on Devines Hill and other reserves throughout Ocean Shores.’

A small brick building adjacent to the Mullumbimby Civic Hall was seriously damaged by fire last Friday morning, with arson being suspected. Fire fighter Josh Rushton told The Echo that the Civic Hall’s wall would have also caught alight if crews hadn’t been able to put a defensive line between the historic hall and the burning building, located just metres away.

‘Without the early call to 000 and subsequent quick response of firefighters, the fire would have spread to the Civic Hall main building,’ he said. The building was used by Southern Cross Distance Education, and pictured are co-ordinators Kim Kiries and Kim Stewart along with some of their students who have lost their classroom.

Costa and Jerry light up Living Earth SMITH & SMITH Television gardening stars, Costa Georgiadis (pictured) and Jerry Coleby-Williams of ABC TV, will be two of the top presenters at the Living Earth Festival at the Mullumbimby Community Gardens on Sunday September 1, 10am–9.30pm. Costa Georgiadis and Jerry Coleby-Williams have generously donated their time and expertise to help foster the gardening passions of our community. They’ll both be involved in talks and heaps of hands-in-the-dirt activities with adults and kids all day. Costa hosted SBS TV’s Costa’s Garden Odyssey, and currently hosts ABC TV’s

Gardening Australia. The self-titled ‘garden gnome, compost king, half man, half beard’, believes in embracing and celebrating Mother

Nature’s cycles, nurturing her balance, beauty and bounty organically. London-born Jerry is known internationally as a

plant curator, conservationist and sustainable horticulturalist. He’s the horticulture editor of Organic Gardening, and author of Gardening Australia – Flora, the gardener’s bible. The festival kicks off with the Living Earth Parade, from 10am at the Council Chambers, all the way to the Community Gardens. All proceeds of the Living Earth Festival go towards building the Mullumbimby Community Gardens’ educational centre on the site. See The Echo’s feature on pages 22–23 or visit http:// mullumbimbycommunitygardens.org/living-earthfestival-2013.

Funding for rail trail study available: MP continued from page 1

guarantee public land would not be sold if the project was to happen. ‘The corridor will be kept intact, not sold, and be preserved for the possible reintroduction of rail services, should a viable economic model for trains become available at some stage in the future. The potential benefits for tourism and employment are significant.’

Previous study The previous rail study of the region, which cost $2m, was blasted back in March by the Greens and TOOT (Trains On Our Tracks) for its narrow terms of reference, the exclusion of light rail, lack of comprehensive ground truthing and a bloated figure of repair comparative to an earlier Price Waterhouse

Coopers report in 2004. And despite criticism of a flawed report, Mr Page referred to the 130-page Casino to Murwillumbah Train Study and backed his party by claiming rail is not an option as it ‘wouldn’t meet the current or future public transport needs of the region because two of the three largest centres (Ballina and Tweed Heads) would not be served.’

NRRT just shy of 5,000 supporters Meanwhile NRRT secretary Steve Martin said the issue of covering over or removing existing tracks for a rail trail is a complex one and something which he hopes to have an answer on soon. He said however of his not-for-profit group, ‘We

now have close to 5,000 community supporters, as well as backing from local government, tourism and chambers of commerce.’ NRRT was formed by a steering committee comprising local business philanthropists, known as the Sourdough Group, as well as volunteers and councillors

and people working in the tourism industry. Its chairperson, Pat Grier, says, ‘The rail trail would act as the spine that links a network of communities, regional towns and villages.’ ‘It would provide the platform for economic development, new businesses and jobs for the region.’

New look Echonetdaily Celebrating two years and more than 500 editions, this week Echonetdaily has now unveiled an all-new-look website, launched Monday. Online editor Chris Dobney says, ‘Just some of the new features you can expect are a more interactive website, with stories updating throughout the day, greater ease in finding stories and linking from story to story.

‘There will be a wider range of interactive elements such as photo galleries, and the site will look just as good on your smartphone as it does on your computer screen. The new format is the result of months of research on what our readers and advertisers like about Echonetdaily and what they would like to see improved. See www.echo.net.au for more.

Local News The Ocean Shores Community Association Inc (OSCA) is holding a meetthe-candidates night at the Ocean Shores Country Club, Orana Road, Ocean Shores, on Wednesday August 28 at 6.30pm for 7pm. OSCA will be asking the candidates their views on the issues such as keeping the area Gasfield Free, rail service linking NSW with

Brisbane, gay marriage, the right to die with dignity, and so on, and publishing the results before the election on September 7. Enquiries about the meeting to OSCA 0413 060 010 or 0431 477 445. Additionally, a pre-election forum for the Page electorate will be held on Thursday, August 29, from 6pm at the Lismore Workers Club.

Mullum High’s awardwinning debating team

Mullumbimby Youth Centre plans unveiled Extensive plans for a Mullum Youth Centre, which include roofing for the skate park, will be on display at the Fathers Day Rukkus event at Mullum skate park on September 1. Well-known youth and community worker Sol Farina is behind the idea, and he says the impetus came from asking young adults what they would like in their community. ‘I took a survey years ago and they all said they wanted a skate park and a youth centre.’

‘Shovel ready’

Congratulations to the Mullum High year 9 and 10 debating team, who have won the 2013 north coast championships in Coffs Harbour. Mullumbimby High School English teacher Sarah Connah told The Echo, ‘They will now head to Sydney to compete in the final round of the NSW Premiers Debating Competition.’ Pictured is Ashleigh Hartley, Azlan Currie, Oskar Fletcher Adam Efanow and Zoe Orbiston Photo Jeff Dawson

North Coast news daily: www.echonetdaily.net.au

For Sol, it’s been a longterm vision. ‘This, to me, would tie it all together.’ Ten years ago, he helped instigate the Mullum skate park and was community gardens president for two years. Fast forward to 2013 and the youth centre is at a ‘shovel ready’ stage. ‘We want to present it to the community first, to gain feedback before asking for council approval,’ says Sol. Architectural plans were developed over time by local engineers, he says, and adds he is confident that financial backing from the public would

be forthcoming. ‘It would be built in three stages. The first would be a roof for the skate park and venue making it an all-weather skate park. The second is the building itself, and the third is the infrastructure: a cafe/ kitchen, computer room and a sport room. There will be solar hot water and lighting, compost toilets and rainwater tanks for drinking as well.’ Events could be held there, he says. ‘It could host concerts indoors and outdoors, possibly an annual youth festival. I have approached Mullum High School and the headmaster is very supportive.’ As for its long-term vision and management, Sol says he would like to see it run by a paid co-ordinator and a team of volunteers. ‘But mainly the youth, we want them to step up. Community infrastructure needs to be addressed, and to keep up with a developing community, we need to do this project.’ He added this development has been costed at the million-dollar mark and there is $20,000 in the kitty so far. Call Sol 0421 457 849 for inquires and support.

Batbus explains its role for local youth Last week The Echo published MP Don Page’s response on north coast issues and the lack of public transport. This week, local youth service coordinator Melissa Armstrong clarifies the role of Batbus: ‘The Batbus is a service that has operated in the area over 20 years and is highly regarded as a successful model of subsidised group transport for young people. ‘Last financial year Batbus provided 2,000 passenger trips using, in part, vehicles from Community Trans-

port, its auspicing body. It also hired private buses and coaches and even taxis as the need may be, supporting private operators. ‘Residents of Byron between the ages of 12 and 25 can access the service. Young people are disadvantaged when it comes to transport in our shire (and on the north coast in general) because of the limited public transport options available and distances involved. ‘The Batbus takes groups of young people on local trips

such as to the beach or further afield to Brisbane or the Gold Coast. The cost to passengers is subsidised by the NSW ministry of transport so that it is affordable. ‘For instance, to go to the GoldCoast is $15 return. Around Byron Shire is $5 return. The Batbus can collect passengers at the time requested, and return them safely home to their door. ‘Unfortunately, Batbus cannot answer all young people’s travel needs. ‘Because it is a bus service

there is a minimum number of passengers required: eight people on a local trip and ten for further afield. ‘Planning is necessary to organise a bus for the group so we request one week’s notice. We believe Byron Shire is fortunate to have the Batbus. Many other rural and regional areas don’t have an equivalent subsidised service providing a safe and affordable option for group transport to their young residents.’ Call 6685 8771 or visit www. batbus.net for more.

Activist avoids jail Staff reporters

Nimbin peace activist Graeme Dunstan has been found guilty of wilful damage to Commonwealth property following a trial at Rockhampton last week. But Mr Dunstan, who faced potential imprisonment for up to 10 years on the charge, walked free from the court Thursday. Justice Samios told the court he was ‘not inclined to impose a custodial sentence’, giving Mr Dunstan a $2,000 two-year good-behaviour bond, and adding that he was ‘grateful for Mr Dunstan’s conduct before the court’. The verdict follows a dramatic turn in the case that almost saw the trial aborted, after the jury told the judge it was unable to reach a unani-

mous verdict, with two of the jurors unable to find Mr Dunstan guilty. But when the court reconvened in the morning the jury pronounced Mr Dunstan guilty. Justice Samios said that matter had been ‘decided according to the evidence’. Dunstan, 71, one of the founders of the Nimbin Aquarius Festival, is charged with wilful damage of Commonwealth property, namely an Australian Army ‘Tiger’ armed reconnaissance helicopter, which was damaged by blows from a garden mattock during the 2011 Talisman Saber military exercises. Mr Dunstan admitted driving fellow activist, the late Bryan Law, to the airport and helping him gain access to the airfield, but pleaded not guilty.

Driver licences, vehicle registration renewals, boating licences, applications for birth certificates and owner-builder permits have now all been centralised into one location after Service NSW opened last week in Tweed Heads South. As one the first office in the state to be opened, NSW deputy premier Andrew

Stoner said the new service will herald ‘a new era in customer service delivery’. Much can also be carried out online at www.service. nsw.gov.au or by ringing the 24/7 phone service on 13 77 88. The new centre is located at 13-17 Rivendell Drive, Tweed Heads South and is open for extended hours.

Ballina mayor David Wright voted against his personal opinion at last week’s council meeting to reconfirm fluoridation of the shire’s water supply will go ahead as planned. A motion by Cr Keith Williams to oppose fluoridation was defeated 8–2, with only Cr Williams and Greens Cr Jeff Johnson supporting the motion. Recently Lismore City Council rejected fluoridation and health minister Jillian Skinner has announced she will consider a range of measures to ensure all public water supplies in NSW are fluoridated. Byron Shire’s water supply remains unfluoridated. The decision comes despite the Ballina Fluoridation Free Network presenting

Masochists the winners at Tony’s secret launch

Volume 28 #12

August 27, 2013

Tamer and dumber Apart from the major diversion of Crazy Tony’s Indonesian Boat Sales, another interesting news item on ABC TV last week looked at whether or not the endangered Tasmanian devil is getting dumber in captivity. According to the appropriately-named Marissa Parrott of Zoos Victoria, many animals become less intelligent when bred in captivity, owing to ‘a brain size reduction’ of up to a third, as shown in pigs and horses. Apparently this could be due to the absence of a need to colonise environments and forage for food. Captivity. Civilisation. Similarities? While we are taught to see ourselves as distinct from animals, there is no reason to assume that a secure environment and food virtually on tap will not makes us dumber. (I’m talking first world, Facebook-enhanced civilisations like ours, not those benighted communities where life is still a battle of wits and where a lack of 24-hour vigilance results in being killed.) Once dumber, we become easier to tame. We establish boundaries across which the tame may not pass. Let’s call them heresy, treason and non-conformity. Religions built upon the words of leaders who may or may not have had temporal lobe epilepsy or schizophrenia – leading to vivid ecstatic visions – threaten the tame with expulsion from not only their society but also one in a putative afterlife. Nation states trash the rights of the ordinary citizen through the charge of treason when he or she – both pronouns appropriate in Bradley Manning’s case – threatens the higher-order status quo, for example, the ability to shoot unarmed civilians from an attack helicopter without retribution. Major corporations, having tamed us with sugar drinks and ‘reality’ TV, point out how dull life will be if we do not conform by buying more things we do not need. Non-conformity is converted in the hive mind to a ‘kookiness’ to be exploited by advertising agencies. But fear not. Climate change catastrophe is coming, possibly followed by another ice age. What doesn’t kill us will make us stronger – or at least a little smarter. Michael McDonald

aunches aren’t what they used to be. In the old days the leaders launched their campaigns, as the word suggests, at the beginning, and they held big public meetings open to one and all in which interjections were welcomed, even encouraged. If there wasn’t a lot of movement, colour and noise and even the occasional punch-up, the occasion was adjudged a failure. And the launches were about something: the politicians were expected, nay compelled, to reveal a detailed policy covering all the important points they would take to the election. Such policies were often hard to cost accurately, and in any case in the times before deficits became anathema and surpluses sacrosanct, precise numbers were not considered vital: in all his years as prime minister Sir Robert Menzies never delivered a surplus and you don’t hear Tony Abbott excoriating the founder of his party for this appalling dereliction. Nowadays, of course, all the important policies were declared long ago, and, in Abbott’s case at least, the costings have been fudged or concealed and are likely to stay that way. The major launches used to take place within a day or so of each other, giving the voters and the commentators a chance to dissect and compare them before the real argy-bargy of the campaign got under way. And they were big news: all the radio and later the television stations covered them as a matter of course. But how the times have changed. These days the campaign launch is just another painfully staged event on the way to the polls – something of an inconvenience, actually, as it keeps

the leaders away from more telegenic venues and they are not allowed wear funny hats or molest babies for the hour or two that it takes. Any form of spontaneity is of course a no-no – the whole thing takes place in a hermetically sealed bubble, under the kind of security you would expect at a high-tech weapons laboratory. The exact time and place of Tony Abbott’s launch last Sunday was a closely guarded secret until the end: I could find no reference to it on television, or even Google, until Saturday night and even then all

These days the campaign launch is just another painfully staged event on the way to the polls – something of an inconvenience, actually by Mungo MacCallum we were told was that it would be somewhere in Brisbane. Presumably the stringently vetted invited guests, the ones to be patted down by a goon squad after passing through the metal detectors, were given a little more notice, but alas, my own invitation must have got lost in the mail; so I sat down in front of the TV to make what I could out of this pseudo-happening. Frankly, I would have rather been at the beach, or even at the dentist; but political journalism can be a cruel game. And it turned out to be all a bit déjà vu – much like Abbott’s launch in 2010. First we had Campbell Newman to tell us how wonderful he is and how Tony Abbott isn’t bad either; then Julie Bishop, who was actually quite funny about Rudd (she even told a mildly blue joke) before waxing lyri-

cal about Abbott; then Warren Truss, proving once again why Barnaby Joyce reckons he will have no trouble taking over the leadership of the National Party. And then a surprise, albeit one stolen from a previous campaign: as Mark Latham’s wholesome wife Janine was trotted out in 2004 to assure us that her man was really nice and kind after all, Abbott’s wholesome daughters Bridget and Frances wafted on stage to go all mawkish about their dad. Well, it was a relief after Warren Truss. And then finally the main

event: the royal couple, Tony and Margie, smooched their away through the cheering crowds to deposit the dear leader on stage: where he spent just over half an hour telling us very little about anything. There is a story that the veteran radio commentator Eric Baume once concluded one of his diatribes by asking his producer what he thought. Well, replied the candid functionary, it was all bullshit. ‘Ah, yes,’ replied Baume, no whit abashed, ‘but it was good bullshit.’ And the same could be said for Abbott’s feel-good harangue, up to a point. That point was reached when, after the usual condemnation of debt, deficit, budget crisis and reckless spending he still did not have a word to say about his own gaping accounting hole, despite having added a lazy half billion or so to it

Council’s role

in the course of his speech. At the time this did not matter much; he was among friends. The Channel Seven worm also showed general adulation, as did the station’s vox pop, which gave him seven out of ten. But on reflection, it would want to: surely no-one except supporters and masochists would have been watching. Even at this late stage, Abbott was still asking the voters to take him purely on trust – to give him a go, to try something different, change for the sake of change. The only real reason he was giving for the election of a coalition government was that it couldn’t be worse than the last lot. And the polls show that while this will almost certainly be enough, there are still lingering doubts; next day’s Newspoll showed a slight but perceptible swing back to Labor. An aberration, probably. But on the anniversary of Martin Luther King’s great ‘I have a dream’ speech, surely we were entitled to more than just another wafflethon. Kevin Rudd, we are told (well, actually I happened to overhear it) is not planning his own launch until next weekend – with just a week to polling and, if history is anything to go by, the election well and truly won and lost. It is likely to be more like a wake than a call to battle. But perhaps that’s how politics is in 2013: lamentations for what might have been are to be preferred to the risks involved in vision and spontaneity. One of Abbott’s own themes was not to expect miracles. We don’t and we won’t. Like I say, it’s not like the old days. Q See Mungo’s video at

Letters Toxic brews

What we are observing in Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Palestine, etc, may well be described as a ‘clusterfuck’. When you mix fundamentalism, sectarianism, tribalism, extreme conservatism versus modernism, a culture of ‘payback’ and a cultural bias towards emotionalism rather than rationalism you end up with a toxic brew that cannot be unscrambled. We had our own milder version of it until quite recently so we are in no position to cast aspersions though, by and large, most of us were followers of the ‘prophet’ who is quoted as saying ‘turn the other cheek’ and ‘do unto others’, etc. We always look to others as the source of our problems. The source is also within. This is a major turning point for the human race and I wish I were more optimistic. Jim Nutter Mullumbimby

Be prepared

Re Echo August 13: ‘Local activist faces 10 years for Talisman Sabre Action.’ Byron Shire is often affectionately compared to J R R Tolkien’s ‘The Shire’. Tolkien’s mythical Shire is a peaceful place, where Hobbits blissfully go about their trivial lives totally ignorant to the upheavals in Middle Earth. If Mordor had won the War of the Ring, it doesn’t matter how peaceful Hobbits are, Sauron’s horde would have massacred them all and destroyed The Shire. The self-declared ‘peace activists’ delude themselves to the very real violent threats to our peace. Contrary to their stated aims, they in fact work against peace. Our enemies may seem far away but the

threats are very real. Peace comes at a price and is not guaranteed. In recent times, 40 brave Australians have paid the ultimate price, hundreds horribly wounded, many more mentally scarred for life; and billions spent. Sabotaging equipment puts our brave troops at greater danger and risks the peace we enjoy. If a Spitfire had been sabotaged in 1940, the perpetrators would be tried for the capital offence of treason. The Talisman Sabre exercises are preparations for a conflict we all hope never comes. But if we truly want peace, we must always be prepared. Adam Atkins Byron Bay

Restricting freedoms

With respect to Elizabeth McCall and Denise Clifford’s calls to restrict our partying freedoms because of scarce resources (Letters, August 20), probably everyone agrees that banning alcohol sales after 12am would indeed reduce the drain on resources. But, while they are taking away freedoms why not restrict far more dangerous activities first, for instance motorbiking and skateboarding. Then surely, undaunted, they should continue onwards by banning martial arts, rugby and then soccer, which use more medical resources than partying. Some people like to play risky sports and some like to drink and dance – who are you to choose what should be restricted? Drinkers and partyers pay much more in taxes and so deserve to be treated fairly in terms of resource allocation. You see we just can’t legislate for idiots or we would all end up wrapped up in cotton wool.

Unlike hundreds of family-oriented holiday towns, Byron Bay is an important and world-famous party town. This should be embraced instead of strangled, unless you mean to alienate our young people even more and hurt our local businesses. We should be demanding that the police commit more resources to reducing violence at night instead of hiding behind bushes and giving out unreasonable speeding tickets or arresting harmless potheads in the daytime.

happy, healthy lives trying to avoid harming other sentient creatures, yet when we try to help those addicted to meat by supporting crueltyfree lab-grown burgers, the response from Edward Kent (Letters, August 20) is namecalling – we are ‘zealots and kooks’. Well yes, I am enthusiastic about saving animals from lives of imprisonment and torment followed by a grisly and terrifying death – call me kooky. Nor will I promote any kind of animal husbandry as being ‘humane’ – ‘humane meat’ is an oxymoron. They all end up in the same abattoir, unless you are planning to kill an animal yourself, a domestic hobby which is unlikely to catch on. So let’s talk about our ‘beleaguered Earth’ and its lost carbon sinks instead. According to the UN, 70 per cent of arable land is currently being used to grow grains or graze animals destined for the knife. Seventy per cent of the Amazon, the lungs of our planet, has been cut or burnt down for just this purpose. CO2, methane and nitrous oxide from captive animals and deforestation are by far the greatest greenhouse hazard we face. The Earth did just fine without our burning and chopping it for our gluttonous ways, and will do so again when we stop poisoning it. I certainly don’t want anyone to eat lab meat if they don’t want to. The bounty of natural plant food can keep us all well fed (including the starving millions in countries that generally are exporters of grain for feeding to animals in the West). But if you want

Justine Elliot MP getting results for you

One of the biggest pressures faced by many families is the cost of living. That’s why I’m proud as part of Kevin Rudd’s team to have acted to take pressure off the cost of living by: Tax cuts for every worker earning up to $80,000 per year. Boosting the Child Care Rebate by 50%. Creating the Schoolkids Bonus of $820 for each secondary and $410 for each primary school child each year [on FTB A]. Protecting wages through keeping penalty rates and overtime because we know how many local workers depend on them.

‘The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis.’ – Dante Alighieri

North Coast news daily:

Dissecting the metre-wide H Graham Askey

ow did it come to pass that many voters are going to need a magnifying glass to find who to vote for on September 7 from among the record number of 45 parties squeezed across the metrewide NSW senate ballot paper? The blame lies with a seemingly sensible change

to the senate voting method thought up by clever ALP numbers men in 1984. At that time, all of the boxes for all of the candidates on the senate ballot paper had to be numbered correctly by each and every voter. ALP scrutinisers reported that Labor, apparently, was losing about 0.5 per cent of the vote because intending Labor voters were more likely to make a mistake in filling out their ballot. To

mitigate this loss, the Hawke government introduced ‘above the line voting’, where just one box needed to be marked to cast a formal vote. The rest of the preference numbers were, in effect, filled in by the party when they lodged their ‘group voting ticket’. The Electoral Commission were in agreement with the reform because it greatly speeded up the count and reduced informality.

This is the Australian Government’s message for anyone associated with people smuggling:

At the same time the government increased the number of senators to be elected in each state from five to six which crucially reduced the ‘quota’ required to be elected from 16.7 per cent to 14.3 per cent. In a proportional preferential election, with voters filling in their own choice of preferences, a candidate usually needs to start with a primary vote of at least half a quota to be in the hunt to be elected. Back then, the only minor party consistently getting that sort of vote were the Democrats. The new system suited them just as well and kept them in the balance of power for the next 20 years. Lurking in the implications of the streamlined ‘above the line’ voting method, however, was the potential for upper house elections to be gamed by smart operators.

Micro-parties Because preference flows were now directed, solely, by just one party official, the resources required to print ‘How to Vote’ cards and marshal troops on the ground to ‘hand them out’ were no longer necessary to back up any promises about passing on preferences. This encouraged tiny parties, with little more going for them than an attractive name, to get on the ballot paper. If there were enough of them they could then start swapping preferences between themselves in the hope that if all the small parcels vote were to eventually to collect with just one of them they might add up to a ‘quota’ and elect one of them. These micro-parties could also auction their preferences to whichever major party offered the best policy on their particular political issue. Small political parties swap or offer preferences to other parties for three reasons. Firstly, to actually harvest enough votes to get elected. Failing that, then to assist in the election of another party with similar policies. Thirdly, to bring about some real policy changes by offering preferences to, or threatening withdrawal of preferences from, a major party. As small political groups woke up to these possibilities more and more, parties were registered and started appearing on the senate ballot papers. In 2001 Kerry Nettle was elected in NSW with barely four per cent of the primary vote and Steve Byron Shire Echo archives: www.echo.net.au

Federal Election 2013

senate ballot paper

Fielding in 2004 and John Madigan in 2010 managed it in Victoria with less than two per cent. Now everyone wants to get in on the act. From a simple choice in 1983 between Labor, the coalition, the Democrats, and perhaps two or three others, the electorate can now spray their votes anywhere among 45 groups in NSW. Apart from three or four concocted ‘front’ parties, they are all legitimate political parties who are using this election to promote their causes. But at least two thirds of them also see the election for the final sixth spot as a lucky dip; they want to be in the draw to win. This is because with so much choice on offer it is likely that there will be a ‘quota’ or more in the ‘others’ column. The ‘owner’ of those ‘front’ parties by the way has spent at least $120,000 on nomination fees alone.

Loose alliance About 30 of the small parties, right across the political spectrum, have entered into a loose alliance where they agreed to preference each other before any of the three major parties. Quite a few of them have held their noses, been totally cynical, and have preferenced every other party in the alliance regardless of their politics in a real attempt to win the lottery. Most however couldn’t go quite so far and have reduced their chances by not swapping with those antithetical to their particular cause. The best way for any voter to make a judgment on how any party’s preferences, and this includes the majors because some of their votes may well be distributed, is to visit Antony Green’s Election Guide online (www.abc.

Will the Australian Electoral Commission be able to recycle the Senate ballot papers in an imaginative manner? Image from venaamoris.blogspot.com.au

Because preference flows were now directed, solely, by just one party official, the resources required to print ‘How to Vote’ cards and marshal troops on the ground to ‘hand them out’ were no longer necessary to back up any promises about passing on preferences. This encouraged tiny parties, with little more going for them than an attractive name, to get on the ballot paper. net.au/news/federal-election-2013/guide), where all of the parties’ preference lists have been published. This is what I have done and by analysing the preference swaps and with a fair bit of guesswork I venture the following predictions.

My predictions With the coalition polling well, and the fact that Labor has directly preferenced the Greens in NSW, the outcome will most probably be the same as in 2010 – three Coalition, two Labor and one Green. The cross-preferencing game will have come to naught.

There is, however, a small chance that late in the count the Coalition’s third candidate and the Greens may stall at just short of a quota. In this intriguing case I predict that the Liberal Democrats (LDP), the Shooters and Fishers (SFP), along with the almost-elected Greens and Liberal will be vying for the final two spots. Just which two win depends on who loses first. So in order of probability:

t *U JT NPTU MJLFMZ UIBU UIF LDP will be first excluded and their bag of preferences will elect the Green and the Liberal. t *G JU JT UIF 4'1 XIP HPFT first, then their holding of preferences will certainly elect the Libs, and probably elect the LDP unless the Greens is very close to a quota. t *O UIF VOMJLFMZ DBTF UIBU it is the Greens bowing out first then their own preferences certainly elect the Lib and the LDP. t .PTU VOMJLFMZ JT UIBU UIF Lib will drop first and elect (because the Greens are second last on their ticket) the SFP and the LDP.

Change needed Since with any listing of preferences the only party which is guaranteed not to receive another party’s preferences is the one who is placed last, it is impossible avoid unintended consequences very late in the count. It won’t be the first time if a Greens is elected on the back of a swag of One Nation preferences. My view is that this election has finally proved that the ‘above the line’ way of marking a ballot needs to be replaced with a method that gives control back to the voter. If it isn’t, expect 100 parties next time. There is a simple, if tedious, way to avoid all of these Byzantine backroom deals: vote ‘below the line’ and be your own numbers person. Best of all, you get to choose who goes dead last.

Letters continued from page 11 to eat meat, then in-vitro will be easier on the Earth and far more ethical than killing 600 million animals (in Australia alone) each year. Des Bellamy Special Projects Coordinator, PETA Australia Byron Bay Q I wholeheartedly agree with

Edward Kent (Letters, August 20) about the misguided lead from the disgust about factory farming to veganism. We have a lot of animals on our small hobby farm, including chickens. Each year, as spring comes, we get excited about the hens going clucky, the children help the hatching chicks out of their eggs and we nurture them and watch them grow. The months pass and as the roosters start to mature we use them as the nourishing food source they are for us – which is a so very natural process, because if we don’t kill them the older roosters will, or at least chase them into the bush to be eaten by dogs or snakes. And again, the children are watching and helping and are growing up with a deep appreciation of where their food comes from. I certainly oppose factory

farming and not everyone is able or willing to keep their own animals for meat, but a stroll to a farmers market or local butcher will make sure you are getting meat that is raised naturally and humanely. And don’t get me started on the vegan ‘mock’ meats – often based on soy and an ingredients list half the packet long! Johanna Dubens Wilsons Creek

Real democracy

Each day more people come to the inevitable conclusion that western democratic countries serve the interests of a transnational corporate elite and not the will or the welfare of the people. And though many of us are busy just trying to make ends meet, we know in our guts that we can’t just stand by and watch the destruction of our planetary biosphere and the loss of our fundamental human rights for dignity, wellbeing and fulfilment in life. As the global pro-democracy movement affirms: ‘The People Are The Solution.’ The obvious way in the current context to liberate the goodwill and genius of the people is for local communities to claim and exercise their rights. A Local Community Declaration of Rights

has been developed to this purpose and is available for viewing at www.earthholocracy.org. The world is in good hands: it’s in Our Hands. Katharine Dawn In Our Hands Centre for Real Democracy Byron Bay

Pothole fever

To NSW government, Byron Shire Council, adjacent shire councils, chambers of commerce, local businesses: Work, work, work‌ holidays, yay! Recently my partner and I chose to spend a week’s leave in the northern rivers. We chose a welcoming B&B just outside of Bangalow. An idyllic setting, a diversity of cultures unequalled in Australia, and potholes like you wouldn’t believe! After a few days of taking

the minor roads to enjoy the natural beauty we gave up. Even the short drive to Byron Bay had us on edge and constantly on the lookout for the next enormous pothole to jar the body and soul, not to mention our poor car. It’s okay, we had it repaired. Why are there not picture postcards glorifying these natural wonders (potholes) as well as the views of sunsets, fabulous beaches and spectacular scenery? We’ll come back when the roads are fixed. Until then, and when asked by our friends about our break, our comments will be ‘very relaxing, don’t drive anywhere’. Peter Hill Griffin QLD

Don Quixote to Sancho (Cervantes) ‘Don’t get angry, Sancho, nor let yourself be grieved at what you hear, or there’ll be no end of it. Come with a clear conscience and let them say what they want, and it’s just as hard to tie the tongues of backbiters as it is to ÂŤput up doors in the countrysideÂť. If the governor leaves ofďŹ ce rich they’ll say he was a thief; and if he leaves it poor, he’s a numbskull and an idiot.’

Backbiting From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Backbiting or tale-bearing is to slander someone in their absence — to bite them behind their back. Originally, backbiting referred to an unsporting attack from the rear in the blood sport of bearbaiting. (Also see “abuse, spite, jealousy, gossip, smearing, malice, maligning, defamation, viliďŹ cation, denigration, bitchiness (slang), calumny, disparagement, muckraking, vituperation, spitefulness, cattiness (informal), scandalmongering, detraction, calumniationâ€?) In the Baha’i Faith, Christian and Islamic doctrine, backbiting is considered a sin. The Baha’i leaders condemned it as the worst of sins as it destroyed the ‘life of the soul’ and provoked divine wrath.[2] Thomas Aquinas classiďŹ ed it as a venial sin, being commonly found in all mankind, but considered it to be the gravest sin that one could commit against one’s neighbour.[3] Islam considers it to be a major sin and the Qur’an compares it to the abhorrent act of eating the esh of one’s dead brother.[4] In Buddhism, backbiting goes against the ideal of right speech.[5]

Backbiting may occur as a form of release after a confrontation. By insulting the opposing person, the backbiter diminishes them and, by doing so, restores their own self-esteem. A bond may also be established with the conďŹ dante if they are receptive to the hostile comment. Such gossip is common in human society as people seek to divert blame and establish their place in the dominance hierarchy. But the backbiting may be perceived as a form of delinquent behaviour due to an inferiority complex.

Generally speaking a Backbiter will tend to be of weaker character even if hidden behind an outgoing, forceful or self righteous personality. They are persons who attempt to elevate them-selves socially or politically by attempting to diminish others. The Perpetrators of this disease of the soul will generally suffer increasing depression, frustration and anger as their self-elevation and self-righteousness are of course illusory and unsustainable. Their perceived victories are usually pyrrhic. – Alan De Vendra Coorabell

Anger, confusion, and a mix-up of preferences: Q I

don’t know about the rest of you but I’m getting pretty fed up with all the bickering between Rudd and Abbott on the media. It’s as if we don’t have any other choice but to vote for either of those two. Rudd is a nouveau riche prima donna begging $5 donations from the working class families that he is supposed to champion. The Rudd family must be down to

their last $225 million (Forbes list). Tony Abbott has listed One Nation in the ‘racist’ groups to put last even below the Greens, even though he cannot quote to me anything Pauline Hanson has ever said that was racist. Pauline Hanson’s main claim to fame is that she was Australia’s first and only political prisoner. Her prosecution was financed

by Tony Abbott’s slush fund and with the blessing of the ALP. One million plus people voted for her and scared the bejesus out of the two major parties; they had to get rid of her and did so with the help of the sycophantic mainstream media. Clive Palmer is so on the ball about getting rid of the lobbyists. Politicians run the parliament but the lobbyists

run the politicians. Palmer at least understands that Australia’s population do not all live in the major cities and Palmer United Party members have been instructed that they must all vote in parliament according to the wishes of the majority of their individual constituencies. (Justine Elliot will vote on bills according to the dictates of her party, so I was told by

one of her staffers.) I have been informed by the Australian Electoral Commission that at this election when an attending voter’s name is crossed off the electoral roll it will also be crossed off at all other polling booths in the electorate, electronically. It’s about time multiple voting rorts were stopped. I also enquired why voters do not have to show

ID in order to prevent those who would vote in the name of recently deceased persons. I was told that there is no parliamentary law for a voter to show proof of identity. After this election my cohorts and I will get our nagging talents into gear and get that loophole plugged as well. Peggy Balfour Mullumbimby Q As the election draws closer

If you know you can’t make it to vote on Saturday 7 September, vote early. Your vote is a valuable thing, and all enrolled Australian citizens aged 18 or over are required by law to vote. So if you’re going to be away from home, or unable to make it to a polling place in your state or territory on election day, make sure you vote early. You can apply for a postal vote, or vote at any early voting centre.

many voters are seeking clarification on what is being offered by the two major parties with regards to the issues that may impact on their families and their livelihood. Looking at education, readers have most probably heard of the catchphrase ‘I give a Gonski’. For the uninitiated, Gonski refers to a report that was commissioned by the federal government in 2010, which recommended that to provide a world class education for all students, a fair and equitable funding model would need to be adopted. Acting on the Gonski recommendation, the current Labor government has signed up for providing schools in Richmond 42.8 million dollars of federal funding in a six year plan while the opposition has promised 12.8 million dollars over four years. Clearly, this would be a shortfall of 30 million dollars on the Gonski recommendations under a coalition government. As representatives of our public education system in this electorate, we must insist that all political parties commit to the National Agreement on schools funding, that is, the full six-year funding system, so that our students can receive the additional support, resources and technology they need and deserve. Ross McKinnon, Secretary, Athol Lane, Vice President, Elizabeth O’Connor, Treasurer Bangalow Byron Bay Teachers Association Q Have you noticed that our entire media, including ABC and SBS (with the honourable exception of the The Echo), are determined that we must all vote for Tony Abbott? From him we can expect the usual – sacked public servants, reduced services, more privatisation, more taxes for you and me, tax cuts for big business. Despite internal disloy-

it must be time for another thrilling election

Q Voters

need to be aware of the dangerous preference deal that the WikiLeaks Party have done with the Shooters Party in NSW. WikiLeaks have betrayed progressive voters by preferencing the farright Shooters Party who are competing with The Greens candidate, Cate Faehrmann, for the last NSW senate spot. In 2004, the Democrats did a similar preference deal with Family First in Victoria. They did not expect to get ultra-conservative Steve Fielding elected (it was part of a complex deal that was intended to save the seat of the third Labor candidate), but instead it wound up electing Senator Fielding by accident.

The outcomes of preference deals with micro parties can be highly unpredictable. That’s why WikiLeaks’ decision to preference The Shooters Party is a monumental mistake and seriously risks electing a pro-gun senator whose sole agenda will be to placate the gun lobby and relax gun control laws. The WikiLeaks Party state that they stand for transparency and accountability, but in reality they have put ego and deception before principle. Progressive voters who care about issues like stopping coal seam gas mining, internet freedom and including dental care under Medicare need to vote 1 for The Greens above the line. Voting for the WikiLeaks Party will only help Tony Abbott and his right-wing nutters take control of the senate. Graeme Williams Mullumbimby Q I find the level of pre-election discussion of ‘priority’ issues predictably disappointing. Jobs, NBN, paid parental leave, blah blah… Has anyone else noticed that the word

‘environment’ seems to have disappeared from the polliespeak dictionary? We now talk about ‘climate change’ and ‘carbon taxes’, but general concern for our struggling environment at large has taken a back seat it would seem with politician and punter alike. Even the Greens seem more concerned about nonenvironmental issues as their first priorities. Maybe that’s why I’ve let my Greens membership lapse. To me, the issue that is most important and yet is not being discussed is population growth. So many of our environmental and social problems in today’s Australia are due to the pressures of our fast-growing population. What’s with the Department of Immigration’s fixation on growth? Every populous nation I see in the world such as USA, France, England, who have had a big intake of immigrants, is now suffering, not only in supplying infrastructure to support these people, but also the many social implications that are an inevitable result of short-sighted and careless immigration policies. My concerns are driven

by the impact we are having on our planet. CSG, mining, forestry etc are all driven by demand. More people equals more demand. I don’t want a bigger Australia. I want a better Australia. I’m voting for the Stable Population Party in the Senate, the only party with the guts to put this issue on the agenda. Rossco Phillips Wanganui Q I’ve been talking to a lot of people in the lead-up to this election and it seems most of them don’t want to see Abbott as our PM. What are you doing to stop this happening? Voting is our democratic right, and it’s one I take seriously. I want to have a say in the future of this country. We need to talk more, not less, about politics (and policies). We need to understand that voting for a minor party is not a ‘wasted’ vote. We need to be educated on the preferential voting system and understand that in the case of your first preference candidate not winning, your vote flows on at full value according to how you preference the other candidates.

You should also be aware that voting above the line in the senate in NSW for micro parties like HEMP, Stop CSG and WikiLeaks means your vote will land with a rightwing candidate ahead of The Greens. And finally, remember that on election day every first preference vote greater than four per cent, in both

houses of parliament, directs $2.49 on your behalf to that party. I don’t want to wake up on September 8 to Tony Abbott as our PM. I don’t want Kevin Rudd either, but hey, that’s another story. Jodie Minton Proud Greens member Mullumbimby

ECHO DRUDGES RECOMMEND

by Yoko Ogawa, Vintage, pb RRP $19.95

There may be even more nuances to this story in the original Japanese, but translator Stephen Snyder has provided nuances aplenty in Yoko Ogawa’s sweet and moving tale. But don’t expect a saccharine soapie; this short novel is well grounded in the quotidian. Despite the somehow risquÊ title, which makes it seem like a series of images which should be viewed through a coin-operated mutoscope at a seaside amusement parlour, The Housekeeper hardly steers near the sensual – unless you regard mathematics as highly erotic. With a cast of only four main characters, one of them peripheral but important to the denouement, Ogawa takes us into a small world in which a housekeeper looks after a maths professor who has been in a car crash, which causes his memory to fail after 80 minutes. Thus his suit is tagged with little notes to remind him of various things, such as the name of his housekeeper. The professor’s mind is still alive to mathematics, however. His delight in prime numbers inspires the housekeeper to make her own investigations, and there are some lovely moments such as the housekeeper’s epiphany in a supermarket on the nature of maths. As the story goes on, told from the housekeeper’s firstperson point of view, we discover that this single mum also has a son, who strikes up a remarkable friendship with the professor, sharing his love of maths and baseball. It is a story of love and loss and self-discovery told in that quiet style of which many Japanese writers are masters. Ogawa is an easy way in to appreciating the Japanese writers, and I also heartily recommend the

work of Haruki Murakami (randomhouse.com/features/murakami). Ogawa is not all just quiet elegance, however. If you’re looking for something like an erotic mutoscope, it doesn’t come much stranger than Ogawa’s Hotel Iris. – Michael McDonald

The Hit

Really touching in parts. Great portrait of an Aussie family who just happen to be Chinese, living in Caloundra.’ – Mandy The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. ‘Despite this being “Echo Drudges Recommend�, I hated this book with a fiery passion. It did not make me feel at peace. Rather, it made me want to chew my arm off. This is poorly written metaphysics repackaged for those who are ill-educated and cloistered in a materialistic JudeoChristian mindset. Tolle has bastardised and made utterly toxic one of the central themes of Buddhism. What an arsehole.’ – Hans Winter’s Bone by Daniel Woodrell. ‘A hauntingly bleak story of a dysfunctional Ozark family. Woodrell’s sentence construction is second to none and the story’s characters are so real that the reader connects with their desperation, particularly the plight of the 16-year-old who heads the family. Not a long read, so a difficult book to put down till the final page.’ – Pete

In the beginning of this book I found myself noticing Burgess’s strong ability to mimic an adolescent’s thought process. The way he had written the book really did feel like an adolescent boy, but over time it just started to annoy me. I wanted a deeper description, instead of the tediously repetitive chronicle of his overdramatised life. When I started reading this book, I expected to be confronted with the big questions: ‘Why am I here?’, ‘What does it mean?’, ‘Is it worth it?’. I expected the questions that you assume one would ask oneself before taking such a deadly pill. But no. Regardless of the book spanning only seven days, it is over-rushed and underdetailed.

As the story continues it becomes less and less about a young boy who has chosen to end his own life, and more and more a political statement about both the rashness and thoughtlessness of teenagers and the world’s current socioeconomic status. The plot digresses so quickly from what you were promised upon starting this book that I actually thought that there must have been pages missing. I did not like this book. It irritated me. Its lack of description and few details made for a bland and almost boring experience apart from the absolutely inconceivable plot twists that lead to nothing but a disappointing denouement. – Matilda Dods

by Melvin Burgess, Chicken House Ltd, pb $12.59

This book does not have a good blurb. When I read the back of this book, I was intrigued by the story that was portrayed. A bored teenager looking for the ultimate high. The ultimate high with the ultimate price. Death is the new drug on the scene in the very near future of Great Britain – take it, and you have one week to live. One week with superhuman strength, emotions, and thoughts, and then it’s over, everything’s over. But that is not what this book is about. Maybe the first four chapters, but then it quickly becomes a completely unbelievable narrative, complete with robberies, gangsters and riots.

‘At the Byron Bay Writers’ Festival, a friend recommended Ian McEwan, and they were spot on. His latest book Sweet Tooth is a clever, intelligent work by one of England’s ‘Top 50 post-war authors’. Although it is partly a spy book about MI5, it’s also about literature and relationships. Perhaps because it is set in the early 70s – a time of miners’ strikes, power cuts, IRA bombings and general questioning of England’s post-war relevance – it left me with a very depressed feeling, a view apparently not shared by other readers.’ – Simon ‘Bill Hicks died in 1994 just 32 years old. He was a comedian in the tradition of Lenny Bruce – dark, selfdestructive, acidly honest and unable to look away from the abyss. His book, Love All the People (Constable), is a mixture of press articles, letters and standup routines that gives a glimpse of his genius.’ – David The Family Law by Benjamin Law. ‘I rarely laugh when I’m reading a book but this book was laugh-out-loud funny.

In your opinion why do you think customer service The segment ‘I Hate You Change My Mind’ features is so bad in so many organisations?

f See Mandy live at www.echonetdaily.net.au WELCOME TO COP TOWN Mullumbimby is under siege. On latest headcount it would appear we now have one cop for every resident. I came home the other day and there was even a cop in my bed. On the upside it was the one from the Village People. But his baton waving was very intimidating. For months now highway patrol have been hiding in bushes, lurking in dark corners, and patrolling our anarchic streets, flushing out non-compliance. If the length of stay of the boys and girls in blue is any indicator, we are clearly the most noncompliant town in Australia. There are cops everywhere. I keep thinking there must be like a major serial killer hostage siege situation, but no, it’s just another hippie in an unregistered Kombi. It’s a bit heavy handed. Like killing a fly with a landmine. And it freaks me out. I don’t even smoke pot any more and the huge cop numbers are giving me the fear. I grew up in Queensland under the Bjelke-Petersen years when Special Branch hid behind mirrored partitions at the train station and pulled you in for strip search and questioning. It was like impromptu nude trivia. Consequently I now have severe cop fear. I only have to see a bunch of cops gathered and I immediately start doing an audit on anything I’ve done wrong. Am I drunk? No, it’s 10am. Am I wearing a seatbelt? No, I am carrying groceries to the car. Do I have 360 kilos of cocaine aboard a luxury yacht in Vanuatu? Do I have something contraband up my bum? If g-strings are illegal, then yes, yes I

f

do. And I may need help retrieving it. Mullumbimby is a small town, so I’m unsure why we need up to four Highway Patrol vehicles prowling at the same time. It feels like harassment. Hassling kids for not wearing bike helmets. Are you serious? There’re people out there selling crack to our kiddies and they’re bothering about helmets? Oh, I hear you say, helmets are a safety issue. Yes, perhaps they are, and if you have an accident and fall off your bike and get a head injury it costs the taxpayer money. But so does being fat and smoking cigarettes and neither of those activities are illegal yet. Unless you are a fat crack dealer smoking a cigarette riding a bike, and then you might get pulled over and fined. For not wearing a helmet. Time to face facts, Mullumbimby, we are bad, bad people. We cross double lines to claim a park. We exit roundabouts without indicating. We back across two lanes of traffic without a second thought. Sometimes we park for three hours in a two-hour spot. And we don’t register our vehicles. But that’s Mullumbimby. We are loveable rogues. Everyone here operates slightly outside the square. That doesn’t make us mass murderers. It does however make us extremely vulnerable to random roadworthy inspections. For Christ’s sake, this is Mullumbimby, we’ve been driving our unimmunised kids around in our unregistered vehicles for years. For the record I will have it known that I register my kids and immunise my car. People in Mullum don’t register their vehicles. It would be ridiculous; for a start, they’re not remotely roadworthy. In fact, they’re just makeshift go-carts for a quick run into town for Tallyhos and milk. And if the drug squad and the choppers hadn’t gone so hard on the country growers then a lot more people would be driving registered vehicles. How are people supposed to afford these silly road-compliance certificates when the green dollar has disappeared?

I have never driven an unregistered vehicle. I am one of those people who can’t do anything wrong, because I always get caught. And after losing my licence a few years back for speeding, I’ve developed a passionate hatred of Highway Patrol using their might to enforce petty laws. Used to be the cop would have to check your car rego and phone back to base to clarify your car’s registration status. Now they just wave their new little computer zapper and wait for you to come back to your car. And if that wasn’t bad enough, now the fricking parking inspector has made an appearance. People have been parking illegally in Mullumbimby ever since we first put a motor in a horse. Two hours only? It takes two hours to get a coffee. Gone are the days of tyre chalking. Mr Parking Inspector has a computerised zapper as well. Honestly, who cares? Do something about some of the ‘on the street’ problems in Mullum like the gigantic piles of dog shit or the proliferation of stickers that use the word ‘abundance’ or ‘magic’. I have spent the last few months in quiet terror – until recently, I had no left indicator. I decided that I would avoid detection by not turning left. This made negotiating the streets of Mullum rather tricky. For three months I could only turn right. Instead of going straight home I had to negotiate the circuit around the hospital, and then perform an illegal u-turn to line me up for a right turn into Left Bank Road. The one time a Highway Patrol officer did try and flag me down for a roadside RBT I had to pretend not to see him, speed off and flee from my vehicle. I wasn’t being a criminal. I just couldn’t turn left. Luckily for me I found an abandoned bicycle by the high school so I rode that home. Unfortunately I didn’t have a helmet, so I don’t need to tell you what happened next.

instrumental soundscapes? A lot of crazy stuff from outrageous room chatter at a Dollhouse Party heard in Space Cadet to a whole bunch of interesting machinery in a mechanical workshop, such as a guillotine cutting a huge sheet of metal in two – which became the main beat heard in Lullaby. Why do you think we miss the music or the rhythmic patterns around us? Music is the key. It is proven to have a massively positive impact on the mental and physical body but people are swamped by mass consumerism, work, social media, the gamut of life dramas and a whole bunch of mind-numbing influences that dull your existence‌ so music and rhythmic patterns can often take a back seat. Tell me a little about the remix of UNKLE, Money and Run with Nick Cave? We love UNKLE and we certainly love Nick Cave! So when we got the opportunity to do a remix for them, we jumped at it! Hearing isolated parts of their original track was inspiring. We wanted to take it to the next level and create a hellfire slobbering determined wolf galloping through different dimensions. What should we expect for Boomerang? You can expect big ballsy vocals, tribal rhythms mixed with modern electro beats, weird gadgets, two drummers, funky guitars, live sampling and a whole lot of heart. Boom!

connected with that playfulness. Being a dad brings an amazing simplicity and joy in life.’ Juzzie’s unique music embraces elements of the blues, country, groove and roots as he masterfully combines guitar, harmonica and percussion. He plays up to five instruments at once and recently added juggling shaker balls that you have to see to believe. Contact 02 6639 2105 or reservations@ thebyronatbyron.com.au.

The excitement of an RMG live show is why this band is special. There are multiple instrument changes, different sounds and personalities, ebbs and flows, and they simply exude a positive energy. They are a feelgood band that makes people want to dance and smile. Ballina RSL Club on Friday.

ROUND MOUNTAIN GIRLS AT THE RSL The last 12 months has been an exhilarating trip for the Round Mountain Girls and their ever-growing band of followers. It’s been a big year already with Golden Fiddle Awards, a stack of festival appearances including Bluesfest, Gympie, Mullum, Wintermoon, Village Festival, Canberra Country, Tamworth, a new EP, and now the release of their new video to Walk Like an Egyptian. The sextet deliver high-energy and stirring performances and this has established them as one of the nation’s most exciting live bands in popular demand.

Abby’s Road: Taking the Art to the People RAW BYRON BAY PRESENT their second amazing showcase at Byron’s Beach Hotel. Seven spoke with Abbie Gibson about her very ambitious project. What is the concept of RAW? How did you come to be presenting artists from the region? RAW – Natural Born Artists is that it is an indi arts organisation run by artists for artists. Its aim is to create a local, national and international network for artists to get their work out there among the community MOTHERHOOD IS SERIOUS and have it recognised by BUSINESS: ARTWORK vast audiences. BY CARMEL DEBRUEIL Once showcased here in FEATURING AT RAW Byron Bay these artists are invited to showcase in any of 81 cities throughout the US, UK, Canada and now here in Australia. Each artist selected is required to fulfill a requirement of 20 guests on the night to ensure we have a minimum of 600 guests and make everyone’s hard work worthwhile. What is your background? Arts management for the better part of the past 10 years, working on boutique street/fringe festivals to more recently selling my live-music venue. What do you think are the major obstacles for creative people getting their work out there? The obstacle an artist faces overall is having the confidence and awareness to really see their own work and how good it is but then to know where to start with marketing themselves as a business. What do you look for in an artist you showcase? Overall we are looking for standout talent across the board. Innovators within their craft, people we feel need to be recognised and those that are interested in taking their art seriously. Why do you think this region has such a high degree of creativity? Byron Bay has always been seen as a cultural centre and I think that’s magnified by its transient travelling population, as well as how well Byron Bay’s local community have nurtured their environment. It sets itself up to inspire all those drawn to the region. What are the highlights of your next showcase? Translations is

have been partners in crime ever since. Coming up the coast for Boomerang Festival, they will bring their sweet alt-pop sounds to the Midjungwen Cabaret Stage. As a husband-and-wife team, tell me what it is like making music together? It is an utterly beautiful experience and definitely takes our relationship to the next level. We are both very passionate people and creating is easy, but when it comes down to two different ideas, it’s totally a case of the last person standing! Do you have a formula when you work together? We are only two EPs deep and so far every song has been formulated differently. However, as songwriters our aim is to get inside ‘the zone’ where songs seem to write themselves. What’s it like taking criticism from your partner? We’ve been together for 14 years so we share an open table without judgment. It’s fine! In fact we welcome it.

This week’s astrobuzz is a starshaped alignment of planets in earth and water signs – celestial geometry traditionally regarded as auspicious for spiritual breakthroughs…

f E ARIES: With your planetary ruler Mars in the sign of thinking big, fans will find you inspiring. Critics may find you a variety of other things, making conversational restraint necessary if tempted to lash out. Dignified, humorous responses will serve you better than venting, however justified. F TAURUS: This week’s organising Virgo vibes want you ditching excess mess and completing unfinished bizniss. Taurans don’t mind work but do need their fun, which the present star scenario offers in the form of friendly get-togethers, down-to-earth discussions and the pleasures of lending a helping hand. G GEMINI: Mercury’s move from Lion’s roar to Virgo’s considered utterances gives your ideas about introducing new operating systems credibility and authority this week, along with any other shrewd moves you’re planning… Late-week Gemini moon scintillates with lively partying, witty repartee and chatting up new business prospects. H CANCER: Applying a softly-softly approach to this week’s critical edge is probably the best method of morphing it from prickly to pleasurable. You won’t be inclined to take any nonsense, including your own; and even if you can’t entirely get your way, you’re likely to have fun trying.

Cinema Review Kick-Ass 2 How did nastiness become so cool? What, if anything, is trying to be said here (other than the original made a motza so we might as well clean up with a sequel)? It is horrible, stupid and, worst of all, alarmingly sadistic for a movie that will be seen mainly by impressionable young people. Jim Carrey, who has the role of super-hero Colonel Stars and Stripes, refused to take part in promoting the film because of what he saw as its unacceptable violence – which raises the question, didn’t he read the script before taking the money? But good on him anyway. I’m still prepared, however, to go into bat for the first Kick-Ass (2010). It has

a scene in which a ferocious bashing is in progress as dozens of teenagers at a hamburger joint record it on their phones, eager to upload it onto Facebook or YouTube. The episode is a grotesque indictment of our online society’s indecent apathy and mindless obsession with vicarious titillation. The film in general had enough tongue-in-cheek commentary on popular culture to (mostly) make up for its brutish indulgences. Not so its successor, which leaves one with the impression that new writer/director Jeff Wadlow simply didn’t ‘get it’. Dave (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), the eponymous hero, is back in his green bodysuit

(costume design is the only praiseworthy element), carrying on from where he left off – fighting bad guys. Mindy/Hit Girl (ChloÍ Grace Moretz), equally committed to the cause, is also embroiled in high school dramas with a trio of spunkettes that unfairly bring to mind the far superior Clueless (1995). Taylor-Johnson now looks too old for the part, and so does Christopher Mintz-Plasse as Chris D’Amico/ the Motherfucker, while Moretz, in the intervening years, has entirely lost the little-doll factor that worked so well in the earlier outing with her loopy, deceased father, Big Daddy (Nicholas Cage). Cage’s absence is not compensated for by the

under-utilised Carrey, who might have at least lightened the tone with self-mockery. A brain-dead abomination. ~ John Campbell

30 August 27, 2013 The Byron Shire Echo

It would be easy to leap in and nominate this as an early contender for the Joe Cocker of the Year award. But as I realised upon entering the cinema, it is a chick flick based on the fantasy novels of Cassandra Clare, aimed squarely at the teenage girls who read them and therefore beyond a grownup’s ken. I’m assuming it hits its target, for there was an awful lot of tittering and giggling among those gathered and absolutely nothing in the way of stimulation or even diverting entertainment for the rest of us. We are in New York again (I wish I had a dollar for every opening shot I’ve seen that is an aerial pan across the Brooklyn Bridge). Clary (Lily Collins), living with Mom and her de facto on Struggle Street, is about to find out that she is a shadowhunter – Collins played the coquettish Snow White in last year’s underrated Mirror Mirror and she has a presence that is captivating enough to keep you interested for longer than the silliness merits. Shadow-hunters are at war with the demons from‌ actually, I’m not sure where they were from. Another planet? Another

dimension? We Earthlings are ‘mundanes’. It’s Bellaand-Edward all over again as murderous, leather-clad goths with piercings and tats and funny haircuts emerge from the dark recesses to seek a magic chalice – the holy grail, if you like. Clary’s suitors are

Jace (Jamie Campbell Bower), a golden-locked, sallowcheeked shadow-hunter with the frame of a boy-band singer in need of a good feed, and Simon, a mundane, who is surely destined (in the already-filmed sequel) to share the fate of Twilight’s Jacob. The story shifts into Dan Brown territory with the startling revelation

that JS Bach was also a shadow-hunter, and that he composed music intended to drive demons nuts (the Brandenburg Concertos, perhaps) – who would have thunk it? Or, as Jace wittily observes, when repelling such creatures, ‘you can run out of garlic, but you can’t run out of music’. Too true. ~ John Campbell

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

When Muoi Trinh’s Home Economics teacher gave her 10 1/2 out of 10 for an assignment as a 16-year-old, her fate as a restaurateur was sealed. She arrived in Australia as a teenage refugee from Vietnam, traumatised and without her parents, and is now the owner and head chef of Muoi’s Feast with its menu based in French technique and Asian flavour. Muoi’s love of French methods reflect her training, which began as an apprentice at La Croisette on the Sunshine Coast. Having recently returned from France and New York on her annual winter foray where she finds new ideas and inspiration, she’s already busy on developing her Christmas menu. Her favourite chef? Curtis Stone and his belief in using local, seasonal and organic ingredients. Her background in French cooking includes following her first head chef to La Grillade in Sydney and on to the Hilton Hotel where at just 19 she represented Sydney at the national Workskill Olympics for apprentices. After becoming the Australian champion Muoi went on to compete in Taiwan and her proud employers then sent her on a chef exchange to Paris where she ‘got to work in one of the oldest restaurants in Paris. I really loved my time there’. After 11 years at the Hilton she moved on to baking. ‘I worked in a bakery for my cousin and was in charge. I used to make all the fancy breads such as sunflower seed with carrot, fried onion bread, walnut bread, olive bread, even bacon and corn bread. I just love creating things’. In 2003 she felt that Byron Bay offered a place for her to bring her French/Asian fusion ideas to fruition and opened Muoi’s Feast. Advice that has served her well in her culinary career is: ‘I believe the eye eats before the mouth so I always make sure my food is well-

presented. Anything I wouldn’t eat I don’t give to anyone else to eat. I also like creating my own dishes so I’m not serving the same thing as other restaurants’. She also loves naming her dishes, which is a device she learned from her time at The Hilton. Her signature dish Wicked Duck began its life on the menu simply as glazed duck – another French technique with Asian flavours. These days she says it’s not uncommon for whole tables to order the same dish. ‘One day I asked one of the diners if she’d enjoyed the glazed duck and she looked at me and said, ‘It was wicked’ and so that’s how it got it’s name, Wicked Duck’. Other favourites on the menu for her mainly local clientele are: Oysters Shanghai, BBQ Duck Spring Roll and Souffle Grand Marnier. MUOI’S FEAST Licensed. Open 6pm till 9pm Monday to Saturday.

Gillard campaign no-show Sydney [AAP]

Ousted prime minister Julia Gillard says she won’t attend Labor’s campaign launch because she doesn’t want to distract from her successor’s ‘powerful message’. In a statement released late on Sunday, Ms Gillard explained her deci-

sion to stay out of the political limelight next weekend. ‘I have respectfully decided not to be present at next Sunday’s campaign launch because I simply do not want to distract in any way from Kevin Rudd’s powerful message to the Australian people,’ she said.

If you have ever enjoyed the company of a ginger tom, then you will know that they have some unique ingredient that makes them special. DANNY is a good example. Like so many homeless cats, his past is a mystery. But he has survived as a very smoochy and friendly cat. Just adores human interaction. Can’t get enough of it, so he would love a full-time friend. He will certainly spoil the person who adopts him. All cats are desexed, vaccinated and microchipped.

Red Devils bow out but young Giants battle on Story & photo John Campbell

Byron Bay’s topsy-turvy NRRRL season came to a shuddering halt at Grafton’s Frank McGuren Field on Saturday. After imposing prop Chris Coleman had his jaw broken in the very first tackle of their elimination semifinal, the Red Devils never quite got into their stride as the Ghosts’ hard-nosed, percentage football carried them home by 22–6. On a balmy, blue-sky afternoon, the Devils entered the arena with an air of quiet confidence. They had previously disposed of Marist Brothers with an assured performance that encouraged their supporters to dream the dream. It didn’t take long, however, for us all to realise that the Ghosts were a different kettle of fish. With a huge contingent of locals behind them and a parochial spruiker on the PA, they were going to be a hard nut to crack. It became apparent in the later rounds that the 2013 NRRRL competition could be divided into two tiers – the serious contenders (Murwillumbah, Ballina, Ghosts), and the also-rans. By their uneven

efforts, the Bay settled frustratingly into the no-man’s land between both groups. As likely to fall to a lowly outfit as they were to bring down a high-flyer, it was always a case of their needing to be at full strength and on song to challenge for the title. On Saturday the club was represented by close to its top squad, but the simple truth is that they weren’t quite good enough to overcome an equally deter-

mined, rigidly organised opposition. The Ghosts, if never able to fully assert themselves, were nonetheless in control for most of the eighty hardfought minutes. If the loss of Coleman put the boys on the back foot, they showed no sign of it. Weathering the Ghosts’ initial onslaught, they put Bill Lowrie over in the corner, only to be called back for a forward pass. The Devils appeared

Shand heads toward finals Brian Mollet

Cricket buffs and the easily distracted were out in force again at Lomath Oval on Sunday. The Full-Tossers peeled themselves away from the fleshpots and bistros of Byron to take on the mighty Geckos, a team that sort of condenses onto the park from every direction. Ash of the Tossers won the toss and thought he’d have a toss at batting with the famous velcro turf slightly frostbitten and scraped smooth, like Peter WynneMoylan’s cranium. Frankie and Neil showed some early dash but Neil skyed one trying to whack Brian (1–4) down the ground where Mr Wynne-Moylan ran a few circles underneath the ball but held his nerve and the catch.

Classy Adam joined freewheelin’ Frankie and the runs flowed like platitudes from a politician until Brian interjected with what could generously be called a running catch (but at his age he only jogs). The going was even at 3–77 at drinks, but Adeha (4–23) put down the keeping gloves and eviscerated the middle order. Frankie carried his bat to 38 and got enough support from Jamie, Troy and John (25 n/o) in the final dash to post a credible 168 for the unbeaten Byron boys. The Geckos, also unbeaten this year, knew a win would see them qualify for the finals in the number one spot. Ageing teenager Adeha gave Troy an early wicket when he mistimed a swipe down the ground and dan-

gerous Dan was on his way soon after, falling victim to the feisty John who put plenty of heat on the ball, like he’d put Tiger Balm on his jockstrap. Brian waved the bat about in a typically expansive but quite effective manner, but fell for 27 just before drinks, bringing together the two Gecko big guns Anthony and James. James was dropped on 2 by someone at square leg whose name will not be mentioned for fear of reprisals (Wayno however looked a bit sheepish after the game). Ant and James then put the head down, grinding out 30 apiece. Runs were still needed from the lower order and Pete Wynne-Moylan and saint Seymour of the loaf both provided. Dave stuck around with Anthony (47 n/o) to steer the Geckos home with only 10 balls to spare. The unseen committee, after suitable consultation of the invisible rulebook, has divined that the first semifinal of the Shand series will be between Byron Full-Tossers (second) and Left Bank (third), and will be played the week after next as this Sunday is fathers day.

confident, well-drilled, and thriving on Tim Foster’s crisp service from dummy-half, they promised much. But a penalty that did not go into touch (they were guilty of two of these, as well as a restart that went out on the full) relieved enough pressure on Grafton for them to get their foot in the door. Centre Khan Williams ploughed through a few poor attempts at tackle to score the

first try and from that moment the Ghosts were never headed. As the game wore on, Byron’s attention to detail flagged and Grafton were only too happy to increase their lead incrementally by converting penalties when the opportunity arose. People talk about ‘semifinal footy’ being different – it is, and Grafton were producing it at a more intense level. Winger Rex Sheavels got a try near the death, which was only fair, for the Devils, to a man, never stopped trying and being beaten to nil would have been unjust. They had a dig but were beaten by a better side, and there’s no shame in that. Earlier in the day, Mullumbimby’s latest batch of tyros carried their finals campaign into another week with a rousing 2–14 victory over Grafton. Despite losing half their starting pack before the break, when an ugly all-in brawl resulted in the ref marching five offenders (three from Mullum, two from the Ghosts), the Giants would not countenance defeat. Led with aplomb by captain Louis Earl, who

landed five goals from as many attempts, and inspired by a lionhearted effort from second-rower Todd Arthur, the Blue-and-Golds ran out exhausted but deserving winners, with tries to Tai Bowker, Byron Flynn, Aaron Walker and, from the bench, Murphy Salisbury. Next Sunday they travel to Murwillumbah to take on the Mustangs for a spot in the grand final. The Elimination semis next Sunday September 1 – Stan Sercomb Oval Murwillumbah. 18s Murwillumbah v Mullumbimby, Reserve Grade Northern United v Ghosts and First Grade Murwillumbah v Ghosts The 18s kick off at 11.30am.

Titans ‘a bit sad because they lost’

It is always interesting to see life through the eyes of a child; it makes you realise what an impression we leave on the yonger generations. This report from the last of our junior journos for the year, young Tyler Kay from Byron Bay, is no exception. At just seven years of age, the trip to Skilled Park was almost beyond exciting for Tyler. He really enjoyed the experience and being a part of the the Titans’ day. He did a wonderful job reporting on the last home game for 2013.

Tyler Kay

On Saturday night I went and watched the Titans play against the warriors. It was Mark Minichiello’s 150th game; he’s the first person to ever play that many for the Titans. I was going to interview him but it was a very tough game and Mini got knocked in the head and couldn’t come back on the field. The Titans had a very good game and only just got beaten. My favourite player is Kev-

in Gordon and he nearly got the winning try but the video ref said ‘no try’. I got to go into the sheds after the game and meet a few of my favourite players and they signed my Titans’ football. I got photos with them. They were a bit sad because they lost but they all played really good. I hope they win the grand final. I had so much fun, I can’t wait to do it again! GO TITANS.

Moonshiner call to arms

In the last game of the home and away season, the ever-valuable Nathan Nicholls in the thick of things at Saturday’s tough assignment against Ballina. Photo Tree Faerie Dean Trevaskis

After only one game in five weeks the Mullum Moonshiners lined up on Saturday for a much-needed hit-out against fourth-placed Ballina. The last game of the regular season had a mini-final atmosphere with Ballina needing a win to cling onto a finals berth. Mullum gained the early ascendency through the everreliable boot of Nathan Nichols, consecutive penalties giving the green and golds a six-nil lead. Sati Siamoa was leading the Mullum charge with some smoking runs straight up the guts and numerous line breaks. But Mullum struggled to find fluency with play continually breaking down after two or three phases.

Ballina capitalised on the turn-overs building pressure and eventually cracking the miserly Moonshine defence when their hooker crossed the try line. Mu l l u m re s p o n d e d through the mercurial brilliance of Simon Hutton. From a scrum deep in Ballina territory, half back Jackson Lewin swung it wide, the backs found Hutton on the wing and as he has done all season used explosive speed and a low centre of gravity to wrong foot the defence. He brushed tackles from the full back and cover defence to add to his impressive bag of tries this season. With plenty of spite in the game Lachlan ‘Bad Boy’ Stubbings earned himself a yellow card after a blow-up at the

man in purple. Despite being one man short the Shiners held a four-point advantage at the half. After the break Ballina was winning the battle for possession and wrestled back the lead with a converted try. The Mullum counter came on the back of Jumping Jimmy Pyne and Nathan Appel dominating the line outs. With the pressure building Mullum crowd favourite Dylan Pyne put himself in the picture for a try that would have brought the house down. The line opened up, the ball spun wide but the Baker turned Butcher and the opportunity was lost. Perhaps the Wee Man is saving his moment of glory for the finals. Ryan ‘The Phantom’ Cuthbert was playing a

blinder despite limited game time. But with time running out it was big Stubbsy delivering his redemption with a bustling surge to the line that earned him a five-pointer. With seven minutes to go, trailing by two points Ballina threw the kitchen sink at it. Mullum’s defence stood tall, wingers were crashed into touch, second rowers were cut off at the legs and pick and drives were repelled. Again the young Shiners had held their nerve when it counted. When the whistle blew, Ballina’s season was over and the Shiners were primed for a finals campaign. Despite finishing minor premiers the Shiners will not get a home final; that privilege goes to second-placed Lismore – the Shiners would happily play on a paddock full of cow pats in a hail storm in Timbuktu so hungry are they to tear into Lismore. Mullum have been the best defensive team all year while Lismore topped the table for points scored. The head-to-head reads one win each and one draw. It is the classic clash of youth versus experience, big club versus little. The Shiners will be relishing the opportunity to pull Lismore’s pants down in front of their home crowd. They will need support and all the Moonshine faithful are urged to get to the game next Sunday at Lismore Rugby Park. Kick-off time is 12 midday with a spot in the granny up for grabs.

Babes applauded for final football effort Gary Osbiston

Only 10 players made the journey to Alstonville last Friday night for the final Bruns Babes game because of commitments and sickness. A terrible virus has ravaged the team for every single

match of the second round over a nine-week time frame. Alstonville Angels were the minor premiers and have not lost a game all season. The Brunswick Babes are always up for a challenge. Julia led the team out; this was going to be a tough evening.

The opposition attacked from the opening whistle but the Bruns girls held firm. By the twentieth minute they found a chink in the Babes’ armour 1–0 Alstonville. Two quick goals followed for the opposition, half time score 3–0. Oranges and water followed by a quick team talk at half time. Bruns made positional changes – goalkeeper Zoe on the field and defender Lily in goals. The kick-off for the second half, quick passing finds Isabelle who dribbled the ball past four defenders and found herself on the edge of the penalty area – she drove the ball into the corner of the net. Finally the Babes put a mention on the scoreboard: 3–1. The Alstonville team looked as if they didn’t know what had hit them. Even the

Brunswick coach was wondering – ‘is it my team talk or the oranges?’ For the next 10 mins the Babes were on fire, but the Brunswick team could not find the back of the net. The Alstonville coach made substitutions knowing that the Brunswick team was tiring. The Angels were on the offensive – wave after wave they hammered at the Bruns goal. Lily was doing a great job keeping them out, but it took its toll with two quick goals 5–1. This was the final score. What a game. Both teams were applauded off the ground. Thanks for a great year, Brunswick Babes. A big thank-you to all the parents and family who supported the team throughout the season.

When: Thursday 29 August between 8.30am – 4.00pm Where: Main Beach Byron Bay – Apex Park, BYS Bus (parked near SLSC) For: All age groups – come and see us! One in six Australians is hearing impaired, Deaf, or has an ear disorder. Hearing impairment, or deafness, is when your hearing is affected by a condition or injury. Some people are born with a hearing loss while others may develop it as they get older. Most commonly, hearing loss happens with age or is caused by loud noises. Damage to your hearing is often a gradual process – the effects of noise exposure are permanent. What is excessive noise? When you must raise your voice to be able to speak to someone at an arm’s length. Some of the early warning signs are: you can hear but not understand; you find it hard to hear in noisy situations or groups of people; you think people mumble; you need to turn the TV up louder than others or, you don’t always hear the doorbell or the phone.

Comprehensively covering the NSW Far North Coast

Home ownership top priority for Australians: report The Westpac Home Ownership Report has revealed that ‘owning a home’ or paying off your home sooner are the top priorities for 57 per cent of Australians already with a home or planning to buy within the next twelve months, while having children and getting married rated at eight per cent and five per cent respectively. This is reinforced by the fact that the majority (77 per cent) of people surveyed believe that the true meaning of ‘home ownership’ is achieved only when their home loan has been paid off in full, as opposed to when they first purchase a property and take out a loan. Gai McGrath, general manager of retail banking at Westpac, said, ‘The Westpac Home Ownership Report reinforces how important owning a home is to Australians, and it’s striking that people are prioritising this ahead of kids and marriage. The report has also shown that Australians need advice to help them own their home sooner.

inside.

‘Our research indicates that many features designed to help pay off loans quicker are not fully understood, meaning Australians are missing out on opportunities to pay off their home loan faster. ‘For example, more than one in three (37 per cent) Australians with a home loan have an offset account, which is a great feature to offset and save on interest. However, more than one in three (36 per cent) of those didn’t actually understand how an offset works so I doubt they are using it to their full potential. ‘According to Comparator’s Quarterly Market Diagnostics for the Home Loans Report, which represents ten of the nation’s largest home loan lenders including the four majors, there is around $59 billion in offset balances. ‘What is remarkable is if you were to use these figures as a base and then look at the average discounted interest rate across all Banks at 5.35 per cent those Australians are making an estimated annual savings of $3 billion on their offset accounts,’ Ms McGrath said. ‘There is also a lot of confusion about the types of home loans available in the market. One in five of those intending to buy in the next 12 months had no idea what type of loan structure they

should take up when they go to buy and of those who already had a home loan, more than one in five (22 per cent) didn’t even understand what a variable rate was.’ While confusion exists, the general sentiment among Australians with a home loan is positive, with three quarters (76 per cent) stating they believe now is a good time to be paying

above their minimum repayments. t ć F SFQPSU XBT DPOEVDUFE CZ Sweeney Researcher via online interviews with 1,594 Australians, including 1,057 home loan holders who are owner occupiers and 537 with the intention to buy in the next 12 months, across Australia. The research was conducted between 15 and 23 July 2013.

The sample was weighted according to census data provided by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Variables included age, gender, state and living situation. A summary of the report is available at www.westpac.com.au/docs/pdf/aw/ Westpac_Home_Ownership_Report_ Executive_Summary.pdf.

Enrolling now for all classes

To quote Jim Morrison, ‘strange days have found us’, and it’s all to do with the federal election. The NSW senate ballot paper has acquired 45 parties to vote for – and the Australian Electoral Commission is issuing magnifying glasses at polling booths so you can read it – partly because political parties think it’s fun to play silly buggers with preferences. WikiLeaks owes a debt of gratitude to the Greens, but its Party is directing its preferences in a tortuous route through all kinds of groups. See Graham Askey’s extensive explanation of the metre-wide senate preferences hoopla on pages 14–15. But the real scandal so far is that Pastafarian Australians are being denied religious equality by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC). Users on the ABC’s ‘Vote Compass’ website have no option to identify themselves as Pastafarian. ‘This is a clear case of discrimination against followers of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM),’ say the faithful. Find out more about the One True Way at venganza.org. Q Q Q Q

We thought there couldn’t be anything more boring than the state of federal politics – the honourable exception being Canberra slacker punk

trio Super Best Friends’ video Round And Round; see it on YouTube – but surely nothing surpasses the tedium of the news media’s fascination with Essendon versus AFL over an alleged drug scandal. If we never heard about the Essendon football club ever again, it would be too soon.
