Planning policy relaxes CT subdivisions Hans Lovejoy

The planning document that defines land usage, developments and zonings has been finalised by Byron Shire Council staff and is on its way to Sydney for state government approval.

It’s called the Local Environment Plan (LEP); councillors voted last Thursday to sign off on the 114-page policy, which is in accordance with state government requirements.

Council’s media spokesperson said it also corresponds with the shirewide Development Control Plan (DCP), which is still being prepared.

But there are some omissions to the LEP – coastal, E2 and E3 environmental zonings were left out as the state has yet to finalise those parameters.

And it’s a policy that could see some movement in the real estate market: Council staff have included provisions enabling community title (CT) subdivision of approved multiple occupancy developments, which is again subject to state government approval.

Additionally Council will seek a future amendment to the LEP to allow two (detached) houses on rural

land. While the minimum lot size is yet to be determined, it will be reported to Council prior to being sent to the NSW department of planning.

Mayor Simon Richardson said at Thursday’s Council meeting that he and general manager Ken Gainger recently met with NSW planning MP Brad Hazzard in Sydney and told him that funding advice for ground truthing, or mapping, had still not been received by Council from the planning department.

‘He was shocked to hear this,’ Cr Richardson said, and he expected Mr Hazzard to reply soon.

MP Don Page refuses to support CSG petition State coalition minister and Byron Bay resident, Don Page, is unsupportive of a 12,000-strong petition by residents calling for a north coast moratorium on coal seam gas The widely anticipated petition was tabled in parliament last week after it reached 10,000 signatures.

Mr Page, who is the minister for the north coast, instead used parliament time to launch attacks on the region’s two federal Labor MPs and members of the public opposed to mining expansion.

It follows widespread opposition to CSG by communities throughout the north coast, including many declarations by towns and local councils against the industry taking a foothold. Protests against CSG continued last week with residents from Lismore and Richmond Valley rallying outside Metgasco’s offices and drill sites.

While defending his government’s unprecedented ‘tough’ restrictions on the industry, he accused ‘disingenuous individuals’ of conducting anti-coal seam gas surveys in residential locations in north coast towns, despite their knowing that his government, ‘already banned CSG activity in all NSW residential areas and in a twokilometre buffer zone surrounding every residential area.’

But Richmond MP Justine Elliot hit back saying, ‘The Nationals betrayed the people of the north coast in supporting CSG mining’. She also challenged the CSG companies, saying if there are no coal seam reserves in her electorate then they should return their exploration licences.

And while Mr Page didn’t name

Justine Elliott (Richmond MP) and Janelle Saffin (former Page MP), he told parliament, ‘it was a shameless electioneering tactic, initiated by two Labor federal members on the northern rivers in a desperate attempt to boost their chances in the recent federal elections.’

‘They stood in main streets gathering signatures and spreading alarm about coal seam gas – scaremongering to try to save their seats – in the full knowledge that coal seam gas companies had walked away from the north coast months before because our rules are so tough.

When asked by The Echo to clarify that statement given Metgasco are recommencing drilling near Casino, he said, ‘Metgasco have sealed all their CSG exploration wells and only have an interest in conventional natural gas.’

And with regard to the petition’s request to exempt the north coast from mining, Mr Page told parliament, ‘It is not good public policy to discriminate either for or against any particular geographic area of the state, no matter how close to paradise that part of the world might be.’

‘The government’s role is not to advocate on behalf of mining companies, but to have the regulatory framework that protects our land and water resources and our environment – something that Labor never did.’

During the debate, Lismore MP Thomas George also went on the attack, accusing former Page MP Janelle Saffin of allowing mining expansion while in office. ‘She was a member of the Legislative Council when the licences were issued continued on page 2

But surprisingly Mr George then stated his support for fossil fuel expansion.

‘If we do not produce the extra energy needed in this state, especially in the northern rivers, major businesses such as the Northern Cooperative Meat Company will pack up and move over the border. They cannot survive without cheaper energy.’

Meanwhile Greens NSW MP John Kaye challenged MP Page’s sustainable credentials and vision for the Ballina electorate.

‘National Party MP Don Page says on his webpage that his vision for the electorate is to create a sustainable future for the whole community,’ Dr Kaye said. ‘[Mr Page] says he understands that this is about creating jobs by protecting the environment. The challenge for Mr Page is to show he is serious about the environment and local jobs by sup-

porting our push for 100 per cent renewable NSW. Starting the transition now means that regional NSW can get ahead of the global competition and become leaders in clean energy solutions.’

When asked if he supports Dr Kaye’s 100 per cent renewable push, Mr Page told The Echo, ‘I stand by my longstanding commitment to renewable energy. Indeed I was a keynote speaker at a conference in Bangalow a few years ago, specifically on the importance of renewable energy to our future. Clearly it will take some time to transition to a 100 per cent renewables situation given both the Commonwealth and state objectives are to get to 20 per cent by 2020. I would like to see the Ballina electorate better those targets, which is entirely possible given our interest in renewables, the employment opportunities associated with such a focus, and not to mention the abundance of sunshine! I think our area can be a leader in renewables.’

Social enterprise symposium Nov 22 Former Democrats leader Cheryl Kernot is one of the keynote speakers for the upcoming Northern Rivers Social Enterprise Symposium, to held at the Belongil Bistro and the Byron Community Centre on November 22.

It will be a chance to exchange innovative ideas, says convenor Sasha Grahame, and it aims to promote awareness and education in social enterprise development.

Byron Shire mayor Simon Richardson is supportive and says, ‘The importance of the symposium is in bringing together those committed to seeing all members of the community enriched by how we operate. It’s about community, business leaders and politicians coming together to ensure that the adage of “hand up” rather than a “hand out” becomes a reality rather than just a slogan.’

Tickets are available from Byron Community Centre and for more visit www.nrsdc.org.au/socialenterprise.html.

Transmission line abandoned Baggaley in court after drug bust The challenge comes as a proposed high-voltage transmission line from Tenterfield to Lismore was cancelled last week. The abandonment of the $250 million Bonshaw line, once dubbed ‘essential’ by electricity network provider TransGrid, is a victory for grassroots campaigning and follows on the heels of the cancellation of a similar line on the mid-north coast in April.

Dr Kaye will make his 100 per cent renewable presentation at the at the Ballina RSL Club on November 6 from 5.30pm and also at the Mullum Civic Centre on Thursday November 7 from 6pm.

Former Olympic athlete and Byron Bay resident Nathan Baggaley is again facing drug charges after he was arrested on Friday night in a major Australian Federal Police drug bust at Tweed Heads.

The dual silver-medallist canoeist, 37, was one of three men arrested in relation to a clandestine amphetamine drug lab and faces seven charges. He was due in Lismore Local Court on Monday.

Day of the Dead ceremony The Natural Death Centre is hosting its annual Day of the Dead ceremony in Heritage Park, Mullumbimby, on Sunday November 10 by the big fig trees near the river.

Community art and memento making will be at 3pm, followed by the cere-

mony at 4pm. Bring a photo or mementoes for the fig tree to create a sacred shrine. In case of rain the event will be cancelled.

Indigenous calendar launched Last Friday, the first ever edition of the Arakwal Dubay Dancers Calendar was launched at The Pass Cafe in Byron Bay. It’s entitled Cavvanbah, which is the traditional name for Byron Bay, and the calendar was the idea of local Arakwal woman Delta Kay. ‘The idea to do the calendar came from spending so much time on the beach watching my elders’, says Delta.

‘Just sitting there and knowing that our ancestors have done this time after time after time, I had the idea to do this with my family.’

In June this year Delta approached Echo photographer Eve Jeffery, aka the Tree Faerie, to take photos and produce Delta Kay, Arakwal Dubay Dancers and Eve Jeffery celebrate the launch of the the calendar, which was shot on Broken Cavvanbah 2014 calendar. Photo Jeff Dawson Head beach last July.

Feds cut Byron bike funding Allocated funding of $149,681 to Byron Council for stage two of a cycle track near the Ewingsdale sports and cultural complex has been slashed by the federal government. It’s part of over $2.6m in cuts to northeastern NSW. Local MP Justine Elliot says all Round Five of the Regional Development Australia Fund have been cancelled unless they were already underway.

‘This decision is unfair for the people on the north coast.

‘Across our region we have funding cuts of more $2.5 million to seven councils for twelve local projects.’

The unbearable lightness of Council

DANISH MID CENTURY FURNITURE

‘Democracy is incomparably idiotic, and hence incomparably amusing’ – H L Mencken Hans Lovejoy

It’s Thursday October 31, 9am, and a gasfield free flash mob has packed Council’s chamber to support Council’s gasfield free shire submission to the state government.

A triumphant mood permeates the room while speakers call on councillors to support gasfield free inclusions into a letter to the NSW Department of Planning and Infrastructure.

Taking a stand against fossil fuel corporations was looking like a unanimous message from the crowd – but then a lone objector stood before the crowds and pooped on everyone’s feel-good bubble.

Belongil resident John Vaughan asked why Council was spending a ‘large amount of money’ on the motion when there were no coal seams in the Shire. ‘There are none in Tweed Shire and none in Ballina Shire,’ he said. ‘While I admire these people for their passion, it is not relevant to this shire.’ Mr Vaughan went on to say he spoke to Lock The Gate’s Ian Gaillard at the recent Metgasco AGM in Sydney. ‘I asked him why is Lock The Gate worried [about CSG] in the Tweed, Byron and Ballina shires. He dodged the question and when I said there’s no coal seams there, he said, “I know.� He said it was a “social movement�.’ There was a short pause while that sentiment sunk in, but then, well yes, that seems an entirely logical explanation. It appeared obvious to everyone in the room except one that this is largely a symbolic and social movement which is calling for a shift towards renewable energy.

Regardless, Mr Vaughan

pushed on to repeat the same point again and again that, ‘enormous and vast resources’ were being spent on ‘something that wasn’t there.’ He suggested instead that Council find out whether there were coal seams in the area and report that to the community.

When asked by Cr Cameron if he represented anyone, he admitted he was a Metgasco shareholder. Laughter and heckles ensued. And when pushed on whether he supported CSG exclusion zones around towns, he eventually said ‘no’.

Baseless assertion Mayor Simon Richardson later responded to Mr Vaughan’s claims that the submission would cost ‘enormous amounts of money.’ Cr Richardson said it probably would take staff ‘two hours at most to cut and paste,’ the submission, and that his presumption was completely unfounded.

Additionally a gasfield-free activist publicly thanked Mr Vaughn for his keen interest in saving Council money but then pointed out his ongoing court case with Council over rock works he instigated at his beachfront property.

When the issue was debated later in the day, Crs Alan Hunter, Di Woods and Chris Cubis spoke against supporting a gasfield free Shire. ‘Conceptually it’s not a problem,’ said Cr Hunter. ‘Food production and tourism should be protected, [but] we shouldn’t follow our emotions,’ he said. ‘A policy of saying “noâ€? is limiting. I am concerned of cutting our supply and we need to be globally competitive.’ Cr Woods agreed. ‘I have signed the anti-fracking petitions‌ but if we discount gas

altogether, what will we use? If you follow the chain to China where they make solar panels, it’s being made from gas. After coal, the only option is nuclear.

I would rather have gas.’ Cr Chris Cubis said that while he agreed with some parts of the motion, he was concerned about other elements. ‘Friends of mine with farms outside the region are asking why we are spending money on this,’ he said. ‘There seems to be a lot of rhetoric being spread about.’ He added he would prefer resources spent elsewhere.

But as the mover of the motion, Cr cameron had the last word.

He said that petroleum exploration licences, held

by Dart and the Aboriginal Land Council, still cover Byron Shire. ‘While the licences are in place, they allow a company to come in and explore. Council makes land use submissions on a regular basis and this is no different,’ he said. Crs Hunter, Woods and Cubis voted against the motion.

Caravan park grab Fifth generation Brunswick heads resident Sean O’Meara questioned Council in public access about the state government’s latest attempts ‘to fleece the Brunswick Heads community of some of its best public foreshore land’. He told councillors he was hoping to ‘inspire you to keep your heads up and not be fooled, bluffed or tricked into dodgy compromises by the newly named NSW Crown Reserve Holiday Parks Trust, or as most of us remember them, Mr Jim Bolger and North Coast Holiday Parks.’ To see all of Thursday’s fun, the minutes are available at www.byron.nsw.gov.au.

Banks hit by Go Fossil Free protests Divestment campaign targets CBA, ANZ, NAB, Westpac Jim Beatson

A mini-divestment campaign hit Byron Bay’s Commonwealth Bank last Friday as four residents closed their accounts in protest to what they claim is the bank’s investment in fossil fuels and environmental destruction.

The four – Amelia, Wren, Daniel and Ingrid – joined the Go Fossil Free divestment campaign, which has revealed that the Commonwealth Bank has over $1.5 billion invested in Australia’s east coast coal, gas and oil industries.

But it’s not just the Commonwealth Bank that invests heavily in fossil fuels; the other three big banks – the NAB, ANZ and Westpac – have also been linked.

Amelia said, ‘Its counter-intuitive for my money to be invested in the coal and gas industries which negatively impact on my future by accelerating climate change. I took a moral stand.’

Wren meanwhile said she felt happy about closing her account, noting that the Commonwealth Bank had over $1 billion invested in expanding coal and gas port facilities in the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area. ‘I’m feeling great about taking the next step to lightening my ecological footprint and not supporting destructive industries that threaten the future of life on Earth.’

said, ‘This is just the start of our local Go Fossil Free (GFF) campaign, linked to events happening today outside Commonwealth Banks in every Australian capital. The combined loans by our four biggest banks just in east coast coal and gas ports since 2008 is $6.5 billion.

‘Over the next two months we will target each of the big four banks, revealing their investments.’

Inspired by Mandela The Australian GFF branch is part of a global movement inspired by the worlds’ foremost climate change cam-

paigner, Bill McKibben.

Ms Pinon said, ‘Bill explained on his recent visit to Australia that when Nelson Mandela was released from jail and became South Africa’s president, he quickly went to the US. ‘But not to the White House – he went to churches and universities to thank them, saying the really critical action that ended apartheid was them and European divestment campaigns.’

Belongil rock project open for comment A draft design for Byron Shire Council’s controversial ‘interim’ rock work proposal for erosion-prone Belongil Beach goes on public exhibition from Monday for three weeks.

As one of councillors who voted against the plans, Cr Duncan Dey told The Echo that erecting rocks at the end of three streets in Belongil will further erode the beach.

‘The very fact that the road reserves are stubs left over after cyclonic devastation of allotments would indicate that this project is flawed. This project adds Council to the

list of those putting rocks on the beach. The price for having rocks there is loss of that beach, plus some more beach north-west-wards where the rock walls end.

‘Maintaining walls built against this rising force will cost more and more money over the years. I regret that the public is contributing both now and most likely into the future. After we pay now, we are most likely bound to do so for ever.

‘The affordable alternative is a planned retreat, where all parties acknowledge there’s a

problem and work together to provide alternative housing for residents, plus secure the beach for future generations to use.

In a letter to Council, The NSW Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) had

concerns over the impact and said, ‘The recreational amenity afforded is already severely compromised.’

Meanwhile beach scraping at New Brighton beach will commence November 11.

Hemp Foods snags $20m contract Byron Bay-based company Hemp Foods Australia has announced two contracts worth over $20 million.

CEO Paul Benhaim says that hemp fibre and seed will be processed with worldleading technology.

‘This Australian breakthrough is a world first,’ says Mr Benhaim. ‘The seeds that are harvested from the plants will be sorted and cleaned using new equipment recently secured by Hemp Foods Australia.’

Blissful ignorance the new way forward

Volume 28 #22

November 5, 2013

Divesting from the knuckle-draggers The small spotlight that shone on fossil fuel investment by the four big Australian banks last week was a reminder that catastrophic environmental destruction is a cornerstone of western economic success.

Although from a public relations point of view, divestment campaigns make great copy.

And maybe that’s all that’s needed to get a wider movement started towards realistic renewable targets.

The latest push to divest from companies that are heavily involved with fossil fuels comes from Bill McKibben, who is the founder of grassroots climate campaigning organisation 350.org.

He told The Guardian that a recent Oxford University study claims it’s the fastest growing divestment movement in history.

The most important thing, he says, is getting the analysis out into the ‘information bloodstream’.

‘Most of the carbon in the world has to stay underground,’ he says. ‘The analysis has now spread to the point where the World Bank, the International Energy Agency, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and just about everybody else has said that we have to leave at least two-thirds of the carbon we know about underground.’

And while the current knuckle-dragging Liberal/National government wants big polluters to help themselves to public funds for vague climate change solutions, economists think otherwise. Fairfax Media reported last week that after a poll of 35 prominent Australian economists that they almost universally back an emissions trading scheme (ETS) over Toned Abb’s ‘direct action policy’ on climate change.

SMARTER

NOT HARDER

I

t is now clear that the underlying principle of the Abbott government is to be ignorance: not only are the masses to be kept as far as possible in the dark, but the government itself does not want to know.

Thus last week, in the wake of more disturbing pictures of the mistreatment of Australia’s live animal exports on ABC television, the agriculture minister Barnaby Joyce declared that he had cancelled the previous government’s plans for an independent inspector of animal welfare; to hear the facts from a qualified and impartial observer would only confuse him.

After all, he already knew what he was going to do and he did not need any distractions.

This, of course, follows logically from the government’s approach to climate change. Having already ended funding for the Climate Commission headed by Tim Flannery in what was a blatant but unsuccessful attempt to kill the messenger (Flannery and the Commission are pressing on with the aid of private contributions) the Minister against the Environment, Greg Hunt, now dismisses the latest findings from the independent Climate Institute as ‘the silliest report I’ve ever read’.

Hunt’s ostensible annoyance stemmed from the Institute’s unremarkable conclusion that Australia’s target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by five per cent of 1990 levels by 2020 was now clearly inadequate; in the interests of both science and equity it should be increased to at least 15 per cent and preferably 25 per cent. Given that all the economists say that Tony Abbott’s Direct Action plan has no hope of even reaching the five per cent without a massive increase in funding, which Abbott has ruled out, this was not what Hunt wanted to hear. Hence,

the Climate Institute is now officially a ‘partisan organisation’, an enemy. So it can be, and will be, ignored, along with everyone else who fails to toe the line.

Of course, some realities cannot simply be wished out of existence; these just have to be hidden. Asylum seekers, or illegal arrivals, as they are now to be termed since Generalissimo Scott Morrison’s latest excursion into Newspeak, are the most obvious example; in his latest so-called briefing, the minister was prepared to boast that no boats had arrived in the previous week, but was unwilling to say whether any had been contacted

by Mungo MacCallum or turned back. Such matters remain a military secret.

The Treasury’s Blue Book, the manual prepared for the incoming government, has, for the first time, been suppressed; if we knew what the ministers had been told, we would also know when they did perverse and stupid things about it, and this would undermine confidence, which would never do.

Far better that we imagine that they do perverse and stupid things because they simply don’t know any better.

But the most telling example of the new regime of silence and perhaps the most risky, has been the handling of the negotiations surrounding the Trans Pacific Partnership agreement, or TPP – initials which are rapidly acquiring a connotation as sinister as KKK. The TPP started in 2006 as a loose economic grouping of Brunei, New Zealand, Chile and Singapore, but the idea quickly

caught on and in 2010 a proposal was made to expand it into a major free trade block to cover most of the Pacific Rim nations, including Australia, the USA, Canada, Japan, Mexico, Peru, Malaysia and Vietnam – but not China.

Indeed, the TPP was widely seen as an attempt to counter China’s growing economic clout in the region, although many of the participants have hedged their bets by attempting to negotiate separate free trade agreements with China.

Without China, the TPP will be dominated by the USA, creating fears that it could become just another vehicle for promot-

ing American interests, because after all the Yanks have form; Australians are still smarting from Washington’s attempts, some of which were successful, to shaft us through the bilateral Free Trade agreement which we concluded in 2004. And the suggestion now is that where they failed with AUDFTA, they hope to succeed with TPP, particularly in the field of intellectual property rights.

And because the discussions have been held in strict secrecy, the suspicions have increased to the stage where they are approaching paranoia. There have been no less than 19 closed sessions since serious negotiations began in 2010. A deadline to finalise them had been set for this year, but it now appears to have failed. Nonetheless it is known that many of the participants are getting impatient: President Barack Obama has given orders that they be fast-tracked from

here and a draft agreement has in fact been prepared. And of course we still don’t know what’s in it.

Last week Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade offered to try to quell some of he anxiety by holding what was billed as a ‘public briefing’. It turned out to be nothing of the sort: the public and the media were rigorously excluded and those who were allowed in – presumably the stakeholders of industry, although the invitation list was also confidential – were sworn to vows of silence.

The conspiracy theorists are now having a field day, convinced that it is a plot by the new world order designed to exert totalitarian control over our minds and bodies through the restriction of all goods and services to maximise the profits of the corporations who really rule the world on behalf of their Jewish-Catholic-Masonic-Martian masters.

Cooler heads consider this unlikely, but would still like to be told just what is being agreed to in their names. The TPP may in the end turn out to be a good thing, benefitting rich and poor nations alike, but simply because the talks have been conducted behind an iron curtain, people will always worry that however bland the final wording appears, there is something sinister lurking in the small print.

Tony Abbott and his colleagues clearly believe that it is best for us to remain in blissful ignorance; the problem is that we may be ignorant but we are becoming increasingly less blissful about it. If what we don’t know isn’t hurting us yet, it is storing up hurt for the future. And what hurts the electorate will eventually hurt the government.

Letters Power plays How many houses might have been liberated from the grid if the enormous cost of the fires started by overhead electricity wires were directed to stand-alone solar? A winwin situation unless one were committed to the view, politically or commercially, that central control better suits your ends.

And how do we approach the arrogance that seems to accompany power in many institutions whereby we have a situation where our defence forces, in whom we should have utmost confidence, made such an error of judgment that caused a devastating fire?

Perhaps it is easier to point the finger at those sad people who need more love and attention who seem to be shrinking statistically as we better understand the causes of fires. Destruction is the power of the powerless.

Cheaper dentists Dentist Dr M O’Meara makes an interesting point in his letter of last week. Advocating various alternatives to fluoridation he includes ‘better access to dentists and dental therapists.’ Access to any

service is largely determined by its availability and price.

There are plenty of dentists here so supply is no issue. But I know from direct experience that many people find the price, especially for the restorative work many of us need in our mature years, jaw-droppingly prohibitive.

Hence we chew up our carbon entitlements on trips to Thailand, Malaysia or even Vietnam to have dental work that would almost bankrupt us here.

Dr O’Meara also notes that fluoridation only benefits kids whose adult teeth have not yet erupted and that they are a small percentage of the population. In all too short a time those kids will be the whole population and perhaps, with fluoridation, have adult teeth much more resistant to the problems that turn baby-boomers into dental tourists.

Australia is being driven harder towards American ‘free-market’ capitalism and the gap between rich and poor is widening and deepening like a rotting tooth. As much as our homes and cars, so the health of our teeth will proclaim our socioeconomic status. In a rich, advanced society it should not be so: all, regardless of capacity to pay

in the discriminatory fee-forservice system, should have ready access to dental care as we should to the rest of health care. Yet, as I understand it, the dentists’ union resists the inclusion of dentistry in Medicare. I am keen to hear how Dr O’Meara would address the barrier of price in improving ‘access to dentists’ for the whole community.

Right to know Ninety-five per cent plus of Byron Shire residents had a win yesterday. A majority of our councillors voted for Byron Shire to be excluded from gasfield and CSG mining operations.

Cr Basil Cameron’s motion will be submitted in its original form to the NSW government. Byron resident and Metgasco shareholder John Vaughan will thus be spared further angst about staff hours and excessive use of ratepayers’ money. So a win for John and a win for us!

However, media reports suggest that we have more than local opponents to be concerned about. Journalists were banned yesterday by DFAT from ‘public briefings’ on the Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement which could

have severe consequences for campaigners’ democratic rights. (Read Echonetdaily 29/10.) What is happening to our right to know under this very secretive government?

What is being traded away in its game of blind man’s buff?

In response, community opposition to all forms of gas mining in the northern rivers shows no sign of faltering, with coastal groups from Byron, Ballina and Tweed strengthening well-established inland campaigns.

We do, however, have a right to know what we are up against!

Biggest loser There once was a time in Byron Shire where the tale of an irate developer cussing at a councillor standing up for koalas in a council meeting would make the front page of any independent thinking newspaper. This is no longer the case as perplexed readers of the letters pages may have come to realise in recent weeks.

Letters continued from page 11 questions about koalas that Cr Dey and Mr Noble have referred to in recent letters.

So what happened?

During public access a researcher from the University of Queensland representing Bluesfest gave an optimistic assessment of koala behaviour and prospects. This seemed at odds with the well-documented deaths and dislocation of koalas at Tyagarah. The researcher was speaking on the proposed Koala Plan of Management, the aim being to delay adoption of the plan until commentary around koala management at festival sites was either removed or modified on the basis of this more positive assessment.

However, my questions revealed that the speaker had little experience with the Tyagarah koalas, had not reviewed all documents and was unaware of a January 2011 council report critical of koala habitat management at the Bluesfest site. Mr Noble took exception to these questions as they clearly lowered the credibility of his preferred ‘scientific findings’. His angry outburst towards me was ruled unacceptable and only quelled when the Mayor threatened to have him ejected.

The real story behind the 7–2 vote to defer the plan is that the increasingly vulnerable koala population in our Shire remains the biggest loser.

Spin cycle At no time did I attack a poor little motorist, defenseless in their two-tonne steel box. I responded to a letter attacking cyclists, ascribing anything the writer has ever seen a cyclist do wrong to every cyclist on the road. A practice which has the potential to seriously endanger them.

There are nut jobs out there who think this sort of bicycle-hating bigotry gives them permission to run bikes off the road.

W B (I seem to have forgotten what I wrote) Crompton tells us he’s not impatient with cyclists or complaining about overtaking them.

Courage, his word, is only needed if there is fear. If there is fear when overtaking a cyclist it’s probably because it’s happening in a really stupid place where using the brake would be a better idea than using the accelerator. However there are motorists out there who would feel emasculated to not overtake a bike

and I suspect W B (I never done nuffin’) Crompton is one of them.

There is no doubt motorists pay an inordinate amount to use the roads. In fact I think they are being ripped off. To respond to being ripped off by saying others should be ripped off too is not okay. We are all taxpayers, we all pay for the roads and bicycles don’t damage them at all.

I’m as unimpressed with having my bum ogled by W B (I think I may need glasses) Crompton as he eventually is. In fact I would rather not share the road with him and his kind, mercifully rare in this shire. The rail trail and more bike paths might have him a lot less pissed off.

Robin Harrison Binna Burra After reading Dave Lisle’s letter (October 22) I had a big bellyache from laughing so much and then when I read Robin Harrison on the same subject, well, I thought I would have to admit myself back into Mullum hospital for belly pain relief.

I am also a cyclist in Mullum and I ride mostly on bikeways and footpaths, the reason being I don’t want to get bowled over by any maniac speeding around the streets.

Q

I ask all drivers in Mullum and surrounds to please slow down and consider other road users. For those with no time to stop at zebra crossings in Mullum: it’s against the road rules to not stop when someone is on the crossing and you people who have not been stopping are running the risk of hitting someone (I hope that doesn’t happen). So do yourselves a favour, take half a minute to stop and look, please.

Rates tokens So, it is recommended that the Bangalow Weir not be restored because of lack of funds.

In the early 1800s, the island of Guernsey was desperately in need of sea walls and in debt; it decided to issue its own currency and spend it into circulation, debt-free, rather that attempt to borrow. The Guernsey pounds were guaranteed convertible to British pounds by the local government.

They built their sea wall – and more besides – and the Guernsey pounds stayed in local circulation, boosting the Guernsey economy.

sector funding opportunities; however, the competition for private funds is just as fiercely contended. We may well see The Screenworks Project on Pozible and ask you all to dig deep.’

The state government asked for feedback on its arts and cultural policy, so The Echo sought the opinions of three local arts operators.

Mullum Music Festival

Kirra Kite Festival 17 November

Industry veteran Glenn Wright is experienced in all facets of the music business, from managing one of Sydney’s most popular music venues, the Harbourside Barsserie, to operating independent record label Vitamin. He is also director of the Mullum Music Festival.

He didn’t hold back. ‘Wow – really dumb paper.’

‘I think the majority of the so called arts events in NSW that the report mentions are more commercial events.

They are large events, but in general don’t support the arts of the region. The report seems to suggest big is best and does not really look to foster artists in NSW as much as it does events.

‘From a record company point of view, NSW has the poorest record of any state in promoting and supporting musicians. WA, Victoria and Queensland all have very proactive state organisations that support musicians. Music NSW, of which I was a board member for four years, has substantially less funds than other states, yet has a far larger music community to service. If you were a young musician in a band and you

wanted support for your career then the number one advice I would give is get a WA, Vic or Queensland PO box and say you live in those states. Those states have great initiatives that support young musicians. NSW is more interested in The Sydney Festival and presenting international artists and selling tickets to those international artists. NSW is more about money than fostering an arts and culture community.’

Screenworks As the region’s screen gateway organisation for more than a decade, Screenworks delivers professional development programs that target creative cluster networking.

General manager Jill Moonie said, ‘There’s good news and other news, plus the surprise of seeing sport mentioned.’

‘Happily, the good news is that NSW is acknowledged as having the lion’s share of the Australian screen production industry, which is predicted to grow at a rate of 7.4 per cent. Northern NSW has the largest regional screen presence in Australia and a 2009 report highlighted that the creative industries growth in this region was more than five per cent annually.

‘Although the report doesn’t specifically recognise this region’s screen contribution, data collected each year

by Screenworks puts a figure of $30 million delivered into the regional economy and more than 670 jobs created in 2012 through TV drama and reality programs, documen-

tary, web content and other regional production.

‘In addition, the discussion paper identifies opportunities for early career screen practitioners to access knowledge and advice from professionals as being vital for career development.’ Ms Moonie says Screenworks has been delivering this through its current program ‘Enterprise’.

‘Also mentioned in the discussion paper is the lack of formal mentoring schemes,’ she says, ‘which in my experience fast-forwards career development and access to jobs. In 2010, Screenworks attracted regional arts funding to run an internship program for four early career practitioners; of those, three continued in jobs, with two of them having ongoing professional success.

‘Despite the glowing reports, mentoring programs continue to be hard to attract ongoing funding, and the discussion paper doesn’t provide any solutions. In fact, funding for so many of the valuable projects is problematic as it is often one-off funding, with no opportunity to extend the reach of the benefits that arise.

‘So what does this good news and optimism for growth mean for regional NSW creatives? Ultimately, the NSW government has made it abundantly clear in this paper that a broader income base is more crucial than ever to keep small regional organisations, such as Screenworks, sustainable and viable. They are keen to see us funded via crowdfunding and new private sector support. We welcome private

Arts Northern Rivers Arts Northern Rivers is the peak body for the arts and cultural sector in the northern rivers region. Its statewide network of regional arts boards are dedicated to building positive futures for regional, rural and remote communities in NSW. CEO/Regional Arts Development Officer Peter Wood says of the policy, ‘In the first instance it’s great to see that the paper acknowledges the Regional Arts Network as an integral part of arts and cultural development across the state. I think it’s important to acknowledge that the Regional Arts Board model is unique to our state and has proved to be an effective and efficient model for delivering cultural services and projects to regional communities.

‘I was pleased to see that the discussion paper encourages us to think beyond the traditional model of “taking arts to the regions” and onstead supporting the growth of excellent locally produced cultural products. I think our region in particular has a very strong record of this and in many ways is a leader. NORPA is a good example.

‘I was also pleased to see that that the paper recognises that different regions have different priorities and needs.

‘Delivery of sustainable projects that support various sectors within the creative industries. Currently we are delivering a project that supports the music sector through a mentorship and business development model, which has already had some great outcomes, but it is a limited-life project subject to current funding models that mean it is difficult to extend the project further. The proposed directions outlined in the paper are a little vague but I think they’re generally in the right direction.’

He says that includes identifying areas of specific need, reviewing the NSW government engagement with councils and supporting Regional Arts Boards through training programs, including strategic planning and financial management.

What’s the buzz at the front door?

tens to many details. They can ‘hear’ different purebred species of bees and find that hybrids between Africanised and European bees sound different. They also can ‘hear’ the response of a hive to different kinds of poisons as well as invasions by other insects and even viruses. These chorus numbers prompt texts sent to the mobile phone of the beekeeper.

he soundscape changed. Startled, I looked up from my book. For weeks, I’ve listened to the wind freshening and soughing around the house.

But this was a new deep hum, close, at the front door. Cautiously, I stepped outside and stood at the edge of a cloud of honey bees.

Against the wind, hundreds were converging on the old cabinet. The buzz had some quality I couldn’t name. Was this the sound of one queen bee satisfied, amplified through the hundreds of workers herding together in their new pozzie?

Over the next few hours, a keen beekeeper introduced frames and a box. The swarm settled into the new structure and by evening all were still.

The beekeeper took away a silent box. A buzz of questions remained with me.

Behind the clutter of human noise, there is the sound of ‘natural quiet’. We’re always hearing it but not often listening. This soundtrack is full of elements such as rain, wind and tree rustle. Voices such as birds, bats, dogs, mice and insects. Bees themselves are involved in a daily songand-dance routine. For gen-

enabling Byron Shire to fund the Bangalow Weir? I am not suggesting that our council print money but suppose that Council issued pre-paid rates tokens – durable, non-forgeable and attractive – with, say, a $10 face value guaranteed redeemable against rate demands for five years; they could be sold into circulation but preferably spent – by part payments to contractors – into circulation.

If the notes were known as

Puzzling ‘voice’ erations, beekeepers heard something of this.

Musical text In 1609, George Butler wrote a UK best-seller about beekeeping. He proved the hives were led not by a king bee but a queen. He also interpreted the different sounds of bees as a musical text. But not until the 1940s when Eddie Woods put a microphone into his hives did anyone guess at the extent of the opera in the apiary.

Woods, a sound engineer with the BBC, analysed printouts of these recordings. He realised the hive as a whole ‘sang out’ in different ways if they were disturbed or if they were about to swarm. ‘Big Bucks’ and all supportive local businesses displayed signs, ‘We trade in Big Bucks’, these rates tokens would effectively become a debt-free local currency – and bring forward the day when the Bangalow Weir could be funded.

This ‘thought bubble’ may well have serious downsides, but it is floated with the conviction that within Byron Shire there surely must be persons of sufficient brainpower and influence who could come together to apply

He heard queens ‘piping’ and ‘quacking’. He patented a monitoring device called an apidictor, which alerts beekeepers that their bees were planning to abandon their current home.

In 1962, Adrian Wenner described his soundtracks of bee dances. The famous wagtail movements were accompanied by solo ‘songs’ with rhythmic patterns. The number and timing of the repeats correlated to the distance to a source of food. The dance itself set the angle of the food source in relation to that of overhead sun.

Now, specialists at the University of Montana are developing ‘smart hives’.

Their hive technology lis-

For all we are learning about these performances, we’re still unsure what exactly produces a bee’s ‘voice’. Is it the flicking of wings, the way air is pushed through its body out of sets of holes under the wings, some mix of both or something else altogether?

My query buzzes away on the brisk wind still blowing here. I stretch. At about 3,500 metres above me, winds of the other atmospheric layers race along carrying billions of living insects and spiders. Bees are sometimes among them.

All rushing somewhere else.

There are also smaller things up there – bacteria, dust, sea salt and other particles. These can trigger the building of ice balls in the clouds. The ‘seeds’ make clouds condense and rain fall. It’s so dry down here.

We could use a good soaking.

There would be spin-offs from a successful outcome.

If the Bangalow Weir situation was ‘sorted’, then Lis-

SWIMSUITS FROM COZZIES TO CHANEL Story & photos Eve Jeffery Swimmers, togs, cozzies, or trunks, no matter what you call them – the swimsuit in Australia evokes a special feeling.

I personally prefer the Victorian (the southern state not the historical era) ‘bathers’ and though my kids, who have spent most of their lives in New South Wales, use ‘swimmers’, when they were little, if I said ‘get your bathers’ they knew exactly what I meant, and quick as a flash those togs would be on and towels at the ready.

We love this sunburnt country and putting on your cozzie usually means there is a swim on offer. Back in the 60s when I was still in school (primary school, thank you very much), there was less swanning around in the street in a bikini top and sarong à la the Gold Coast and Byron Bay, and more ‘get those bathers off, they’re for swimming in not for playing in’.

I suspect the non-casual trunks wearing back then (yes, in those ancient times) was more about decorum than lack of splash, as it was unseemly for a lass to go out on the streets with her half naked butt on show for all the world to see.

I suppose these days a swimsuit is more a purely fashion item than ever be-

fore. Even in the 70s with the advent the hip-tied brief bikini with free-floating halter top strung along a spaghetti strap that slipped sideways as soon as a swan dive hit the pool, the end result was an item that was manufactured for fashion, but you could use is practically as well.

In the 21st century it seems that high-end swimsuits are designed more for accessorising with your Jimmy Choos and your Prada clutch than the Brunswick River – yesterday I saw for sale a very delicious Chanel Runway CC logo swimsuit for a mere $799. That’s US dollars. On eBay. I can’t imagine what they wanted for it in store.

Probably my firstborn. Oh well, one fewer to buy bathers for I suppose.

Pie Eating Competitors start training Uncle Tomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pie-Eating Competition at The Mullumbimby Show on Saturday, November 9 at 2pm is already getting plenty of interest from the pie-eating community and gastronomes throughout the Shire.

This fun family event is at 2pm, Saturday near the stage. In 2013 there are three divisions: Open, under 16 and under 12, with a combined prize pool of more than $300.

Interested in having a go? Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how it works.

Three aspiring pie-eating champions from each division are timed eating a single pie. The top three times are recorded by the judges and at the end of the two-hour competition the three quickest eaters in each division are declared winners.

The 2012 competition saw the open division winner, Banjo

Curtis, blow away the rest, eating a 250g beef pie in the astonishing time of 41.9 seconds.

Entry t competi o the tion is

Last year we saw father pitted against son and friend against friend in a speed-eating display the likes of which the shire has never seen. It was difďŹ cult to tell if it was more enjoyable entering or watching the display but it provided a lot of laughs to all involved.

BEACH, BOY AND BEAR We have a double pass to see Boy & Bear at the Beach Hotel when they play on Thursday 7 November. Readers should email gigs@echo.net.au with subject header ‘bear it’.

few months Franklin has achieved something that a cynic like me would have said was impossible: he has managed to win over the hearts of mainstream Australia, and has found himself as a finalist on Australia You’ve Got Talent.

Of course Byron Bay ‘gets’ Tommy Franklin. Being able to ‘get’ someone like Franklin is still very much at the heart of our shirewide identity of embracing weirdness as wonderful. I for one, would never have expected Australia You’ve got Talent to get what Franklin does, but somehow he’s managed to crack even the hardest eggs. Tommy admits to being terrified of how it was going to go.

‘I was a nervous wreck – it’s like it’s now or never, it’s do or die. Your name gets called, and whether you are ready or not you have to get there and do it!’

Tommy hasn’t worked up his act in a studio. His studio has been the streets of Byron Bay. Byron he believes is an integral part of how he’s come to be such an enigma.

‘It’s like a rickety old town, no McDonald’s, extreme multiculturalism, and its very concentrated – the CBD is just two streets and so much is going on in such a small space!

I love the Shire!’

Tommy is aware of the effect he has on people, but still finds it difficult to articulate.

‘Someone was describing to me the other day that when I walk into a place that people get excited to see me, that what I do is like a super power!’

For Franklin is about connection. ‘It’s love. I love people and I love to see people smile.

Even though I am not a classically trained professional dancer, I really enjoy my music.

I don’t know steps. I don’t think when I dance. I have nothing against people who are trained, its just that I wasn’t. I learnt to dance on a dance floor, I didn’t learn in a room full of mirrors. I saw myself pop up on YouTube and I thought, wow, is that what I look like? I finally started to enjoy it visually, because I had been physically enjoying it and now I also enjoy watching it. It is the love. You look at someone and their eyes are wide open and their smile is from ear to ear. It’s really strange sometimes, people will come up and throw their arms around me like I am a long-lost friend and they tell me a story and tears will roll out their eyes, and it’s too much! It’s a revolution!’

Tommy believes that he gives people permission to let down their guard. ‘They want to sigh… to let it go. In the Tropfest film I did I am Free to Be Me, I say to people repeat after me, I get people to say I am free to be me!’

Franklin wasn’t always the open-hearted dispenser of smiles and random acts of joy.

‘I was heavily addicted to pot. I was getting violently drunk at least three times a week. I was stealing lots. I wasn’t being on my best behaviour. I started going to a youth group and was hanging out there and trying to plug into spirituality when I got hit by a car (on his skateboard) and couldn’t walk for eight months. During that time my mum nearly kicked me out in my wheelchair because my friends kept coming over with poison… I had a good look at myself; my aspiration was to become the biggest baddest drug dealer but I couldn’t because I was a nice guy, and that was why I was picked on as a kid. It’s

easy to be bad, fucking easy to be a bad dude… to swear and to bite and to be upset and angry. My mum once told me the hardest role to play is the good guy.’ These days, Franklin is the good guy, enjoying the swell of love and acceptance coming his way.

‘I feel at times that people don’t get me. I go out dancing by myself, but I get ridiculed. I am alone. I go out without a cent in my pocket and I drink water and dance all night and all I want to do is sweat and enjoy myself, but people don’t always get it. I have been a loner most of my life…’

But as it turns out, more and more people are not just ‘getting’ Tommy Franklin, they are keen to sign up for the Tommy Franklin Experience.

The Grand Final of Australia’s Got Talent screens this Sunday with a huge Tommy Franklin support party at the Beach Hotel from 6.30pm. Bring your dancing shoes!

Music courses, running choirs, conducting the Richmond Regional Orchestra, and teaching up to the end of last year.

Beneath all that lurks the Real Bruce – a diverse musician, for he is a composer, pianist, accordionist (French, Italian and Klezmer), choir leader, singer / songwriter, multiinstrumentalist and poet.

On this occasion he will delight us with a potpourri of his favourite piano pieces from Grieg to Bartok, Satie to Debussy to Ravel, Albeniz, Gershwin, Chick Corea, and five original works.

Please be seated in the Concert Room, top floor of the Conservatorium in Keen Street, Lismore, for a 6.30pm start on Wednesday November 13. Admission by donation.

See Mandy live at www.echonetdaily.net.au THE HUNGER I remember my school lunch. A banana. A Vegemite sandwich. Two Arnott’s biscuits – on pension week it was the Assorted Creams, but on the off week it was a couple of Arrowroots or a Scotch Finger – and a small plastic flask of heavily diluted fruit cup cordial. Mum believed that cordial should be delivered in homoeopathic doses. Just the vibration of cordial in an empty container.

There was never any pressure to upgrade the lunch. It never occurred to Mum that after five or six years of the same fare that I may have been becoming bored with what was on offer in the lunchbox. It didn’t actually occur to me to complain. Or not eat it. You had to eat it.

I went to a Catholic school and when Julie Wesling tipped her lunch in the bin one of the nuns fished it out and made her eat it, declaring, ‘there are children in Africa starving’.

Both Julie and I agreed that we would have been more than happy to send our Vegemite sandwiches to Africa as it would have served the dual purpose of relieving our suffering and theirs.

Where I grew up food was functional. It was adequate at best and it was rarely delicious. In fact as a child it had never occurred to me that food could be delicious. I ate because of threats. Because of starving children. Because there were no other options.

Food was boring. I had never heard of McDonald’s. We

MONSTER GUITARS AT THE RAILS ON THURSDAY BETTER LATU THAN NEVER

only ate takeaway in Lent, when we Catholics were banned from eating the flesh of a beast, and Mum had to resort to fish and chips. It made me really grateful for the suffering of Christ, as he had died not only for our sins, but so that Catholic children could eat fish and chips for four Fridays a year.

We never ate that much, not because we were health conscious, but because food was expensive, and portions were small. There was just never that much food in the cupboard or on the plate. Which was okay because generally it wasn’t that great that you’d want to eat more anyway. It was probably part of the reason that we didn’t have much of an obesity issue. People just didn’t eat as much. Even plates were smaller. As a child I remember being hungry most of the time. In fact I don’t think there was a day in my childhood where I wasn’t experiencing some sort of mild to moderate hunger pang. You became used to it. You couldn’t just go eating between meals.

Grazing on a whim was strictly off limits. Not because Mum was worried about my bad eating habits, but because I would ruin my appetite for dinner, which would mean wasting food.

You didn’t waste food. And if Mum made something you hated, you had to suck it up because she was hardly going to make you a special meal. If you didn’t like it, and you didn’t eat it, you got nothing. You certainly couldn’t sneak off to the fridge! The Kelvinator was strictly off limits – it was Mum’s domain, and you needed to ask permission if you were to open the heavy white door to foodie heaven, or should I say hell. The lure of the fridge was always greater than the loot it contained. I’d peek inside and be greeted by a bleeding mound of mince for the evening rissoles, a jar of jam, last night’s gravy.

My children don’t have a clue how privileged they are. In flair and rock and roll flowing through their veins this fab four deliver an energetic and charismatic rock show. Don’t miss the party.

The Shed Dogs are a six piece band based on Catch him on a mental one and… it really is all or nothing the far north coast who who get together most weeks in the shed that inspired their name, when it comes to the one they call Mr Dikestar; he never has been one for half measures in either his booze drink selection or music making. Dike’s dedication to this thing called hip-hop is as driven and focused as you will ever see from anyone daring to call themselves a lyricist. Dirty Dike has galvanised a significant following across the globe with the diverse seesawing he cultivates between these two distinct, yet equally potent sides to his music making. It is this inspired marrying between the two aforementioned sides that has made his music so in-demand and celebrated. Both sides of Dike shine on each and every album he has ever championed and the power struggle between the two continues to flourish in all his future album plans.

He appears at Byron Brewery on the High Focus Hip-Hop Night November 10 with Jam Baxter, Edward Scissortongue and Fliptrix. 7pm. $25.

fact I still put hot water on my Weet-Bix before the milk (so they don’t soak up too much milk). In comparison to the culinary desert I grew up in, my children live in the land of milk and honey. Not that they’d concur – according to them ‘we have no food’. They stand in the pantry, a two-metre square room (as opposed to the shelf of my childhood) packed with food from floor to ceiling, or they loiter in the doorway of my giant two-door fridge whining ‘There’s nothing to eat’.

They could have noodles, pasta, cereal, muesli bars, nuts, rice cakes, cruskits, apples, bananas, blueberry smoothies, hummus, five different types of cheese, capers, olives, pesto on toast or even boil an egg. I agree, there’s nothing to eat. I really need to consider setting up some sort of drive-through.

The other day my son came home from school and announced, ‘Well Mum, lunch wasn’t really up to scratch today’. I have to admit I’d had some mother guilt that morning, as his lunch didn’t have the usual lashings of maternal love. Poor boy. He’d been given a ham sandwich, Vegemite on rice crackers, an apple, a small pile of almonds (apologies to the anaphylactic kids) and a yoghurt. They remained rejected and uneaten in the lunchbox.

The Catholic nun in me was tempted to make him eat it, or at least send it to Africa. Or send him to school with an empty box. Maybe the answer to the nationwide obesity problem is to re-introduce children and adults to the nagging of the constant, mild and lingering feeling of hunger. I’ll have a biscuit first and think about it.

SUE-ANNE IN THE TREEHOUSE Queensland lass Sue-Anne Stewart had a very nomadic upbringing with her dad teaching her guitar at an early age. This inspired her to dedicate her adult life to music, travelling, and performing. However, it is her recent journey of motherhood that has brought the most joy and has been the biggest influence on her latest collection of songs. Sue-Anne is about to release an album that is destined to make the music world sit up and take notice.

Produced by Anthony Lycenko (Busby Marou/Pete Murray), Gypsy Blood makes you feel like you are in love and on holidays at the same time.

band’s uniquely Australian sound, featuring quirky lyrics, pop hooks and big brass licks. Saturday at the Byron Brewery.

GRANDMASTER MONK GrandMasterMonk is Australia’s first progressive roots band. Steering away from just rehashing the past, GMM blend blues, folk, metal and ambient music, into a continuously morphing sonic excursion. Rob Scott’s recent witnessing of GMM’s live performance at the ‘Frogfest’ progressive folk festival in Sydney has resulted in the band being signed to a five-year publishing contract with Source Music, the publishers of choice for Australian artists such as Jeff Lang, Ray Beadle, Ray Mann and Abbe May among others. At the Rails on Saturday.

Mullum Music Festival Embraces The Dark Art of Puppetry WHILE SOME LARGER FESTIVALS IN THE AUSTRALIAN MUSIC SCENE ARE STRUGGLING AND SOME EVEN CANCELLING, IT SEEMS THAT IT’S THE TIME FOR BOUTIQUE EVENTS TO SHINE. According to Glenn Wright, director of Mullum Music Festival, ticket sales this year are up 20 per cent. And the reason, he believes, is ‘affordability, accessibility and the trust that has been built up with the programming. People know it’s going to be interesting. Opening Night at the Mullum Music Festival is Mullum’s “premier night of nights”. The night features artists coming from Iowa, Berlin, Slovenia, Gambia, Sydney, Melbourne, and also some very special guests.

This year also features the dark theatrical genius of Slovenian puppeteer and performance artist Teatro Matita.

Matita, can you tell me how you came to be a musician, puppeteer, actor, workshop organiser, and academic? It just goes naturally – when you meet many people through jam sessions, suddenly you start organising jams, making arrangements, bands… and become a festival organiser yourself. When you do puppetry on your studies, you want to make another step – you want your students to connect with other puppeteers as well as musicians.

MONSTERS AT THE RAILS Monster Guitars musical journey takes Adam Hole’s Mississippi Delta acoustic blues into Mark Easton’s electric power bluesrock, visiting Willie Dixon, Sonny Boy Williamson, then Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, White Stripes and now Monsters’ originals. Fast, furious and passionate blues rock roots and some very fine guitar picking and sweet vocals amongst the gravel, tar and razor blades. Thursday at the Rails.

What is a typical day for you? There is no typical day. I am at present north of France; yesterday I was still in Vienna; a few days ago in London and after tomorrow, Russia. Today I am directing a show for children; yesterday I was playing three different puppet shows and adapting to an Austrian audience; in few days I’ll try a show in Russian, make a concert and go to play for orphans.

What is the thesis you are working on for your doctorate? It is about connection, music and puppet theatre. Puppet theatre is the most mobile, flexible, broad form of ‘contextual’ art. Only puppet theatre can include all forms of art: painting, acting, physical dance…

At the same time, music is the most ‘sincere’ art – the most direct way of language, of communication. It is the most ‘physical’ art, when puppet theatre is the most ‘distant’, contextual, using illusion for mirroring reality – that is closest to music.

What role do you see something like puppetry and theatre has in this digital age? It is the beginning of social rituals, that were connecting with symbols of puppets and masks. Puppets have the ability to adapt, to change forms. Puppets are cheap, puppets are wide; you cannot arrest them if they say something wrong; you cannot judge them, even if they say truth. Puppets are our alter egos, and can have healing effects on society.

How do you want your performances to affect people? I want to make people reflect, not necessarily be pleased.

Do you still see a vital role for mythology and story? Yes. Well, the mythology connected to Now. It is one of the senses of culture that is the supporting base of art. It is not based on ‘pop society’, where each artist presents themselves as the whole culture. Where one person thinks, he is more important in the generation. It is the place of consensus, where art evolution comes to the root. And mythology is part of that root, which survived thousands of years and exited in the western world a few decades ago. That is scary. Mythology is not vital. It is one of the aspects that made the mirroring effect. And in this sense it is very close to principles of puppetry. That’s why mythology and puppetry are closely connected.

Are you influenced by Living Theatre, Theatre of the Absurd, Theatre of Cruelty – or do you have your own personal distinct

Charity FRIDAY of the month is the NSW Bushfire Appeal. theatrical and philosophical manifesto? It is a mixture of commedia dell’arte, Theatre of Absurd, Bread and Puppets and… hmm, folk music? Surely Beckett, Brecht, Craig… I don’t have one idol. Definitely, art is not to be separated from society. It is – like Bread & Puppets said, for kitchens. Art is like bread. Art is cheap. Also, it is here to provoke, to be oppressive. It is here to talk. Art is here, to take the microphone and to talk with its untruthful, irrational intuition. No, I do not have my manifesto. I’m just a musician when I play puppets, and puppeteer when I play accordion.

What are the themes that you work with? What characters do you use? I started with Pulcinella. I went over different abstract, nonsense topics, fairytales, classics, and now I am coming back. One of my next shows is going to be a Slovenian character, Pavliha. Primitive art.

That is my interest. Also ‘happy bones’, which I perform only with real objects – bones, are primitive. I like this.

How do you work up a performance? Is street performance still a vital part of creating an act? Creating on the street is vital. It is an essential part of my workshops to send students out. To try to communicate on the street, in pubs, in shopping centres with people who would never want to have anything to do with art.

When I work on a show, I start from what I have. Site specific. Where am I? Do I have any money? How many hands will manipulate it? Then I go to music and rhythm, starting with steps, impulses reactions, situations. At the end comes composition. Gluing different parts together. Analytic principle is closer to me than one where you get text (storyboard) and than make the story after it. I take the story from the end and beginning and then fill it up with nonsense.

How do you make a puppet show a musical composition? Every show is musical composition. Only thing is that I base on it most of the show. Mostly there is not music, or it is strictly connected to the animation of puppets. That why it is so much harder for actors in my shows: they have to think of situations in rhythm.

28 November 5, 2013 The Byron Shire Echo

If I were to suggest that this is in the tradition of Forrest Gump you might dismiss it as too quaint and goofy for its own good. It’s not, although it could be accused of a similar over-keenness to simplify events of great historical import. ‘Inspired by a true story’ invariably means that liberties have been taken with the facts, so we’re never likely to know how close to reality Lee Daniels’s fictionalised bio of the long-serving White House butler Cecil Gaines (Forest Whitaker) is. But as an overview of the civil rights movement in the US it is a compelling reminder of racism’s scourge – and timely too, given Herr Morrison’s edict that people arriving in Oz seeking refuge from persecution be dehumanised as illegals. Told as a memoir after his retirement, the long journey begins with the boy Cecil witnessing the callous murder of his sharecropper father, after which he was employed by the plantation owner as the ‘house nigger’. From that point we embark on a cavalcade of contemporary history, with Cecil’s eldest son Louis (David Oyelowo) riding the tumultuous wave of Afro-Americans’ rise against discrimination, while Cecil himself remains a passive, if troubled onlooker.

By his side throughout is wife Gloria, played by the largerthan-life Oprah Winfrey. She is, for mine, the elephant in the room. It’s not that Winfrey is not a capable actress – she is excellent – it’s just that as Gloria she can only ever be Oprah and, by her mere presence, she tends to overwhelm the scenes in which she features, especially when in tandem with Whitaker’s unflagging minimalism. But it is the conflict between the new generation and the old, the future and the past, around which the film is constructed, taking events into the hearts and minds of those directly involved. There is also a wonderful array of presidents, from boyish Kennedy to slimy Nixon and, best of all, Jane Fonda and Alan Rickman as Nancy and ‘Ronny’ Reagan.

Touching, forceful and entirely genuine, I loved it. ~ John Campbell

Remember that famous line from Cool Hand Luke? – ‘What we have here is failure to communicate’? Well, these days there’s not a soul who is not communicating. All you need is the conviction (in this case unfounded) that you have an interesting story to tell and, with technology being so accessible and affordable, you can shoot it, package it as some sort of insightful take on the human condition, show it to an art-house audience to whom entertainment is considered base and frivolous, and bingo! you’re a lauded filmmaker.

During a recent trip to Sydney, I made time to get to the Verona and see this movie. It had won awards, been decorated with oodles of stars and was praised lavishly by everybody who’s anybody in the towers of the commentariat. Halfway through, I was convinced that I had inadvertently wandered into the wrong cinema, so boring was the experience. Canadian director Sarah Polley has put her own family in the frame as she unravels the truth – or the varying recollections of it – surrounding her dead mother, Diane, an actress/performer of only modest achievement. Her dourly smoking father is the lynchpin, but siblings and close friends all get plenty of time to speak to camera about an unearthed secret that is revealed early and then pored over ad nauseam. Writing in the New Yorker, Anthony Lane enthused that ‘the very ordinariness of the saga, however, becomes its strength’, but I am afraid I couldn’t disagree more. In fact I found myself champing at the bit, desperately wishing that I was somehow able to let Sarah and her dull clan know that I really could not have cared less about their navel gazing. That Lane and other critics have been so impressed by such mundane chattering, wanting to pass it off as myth-making, beggars belief.

There are a lot of talking heads, none of them projecting much charisma, and far too many images used more than once.

The Polleys’ exposé is repetitive, inconsequential and wildly overrated. ~ John Campbell

E ARIES: If current cosmic configurations spark a watershed week in Ariesworld – as they will for some – do what you do best and courageously embrace challenges, which, despite initial discomfort, are likely to be wildly positive in ways not immediately apparent. There’s plenty of nurturing energy around to support you.

F TAURUS: As everyday dilemmas escalate into complex intrigues, some relationships strengthen while others disintegrate. Understanding we’re all in the same boat promotes the cooperation necessary for navigating this week’s stormy seas, while Venus in practical Capricorn pacifies emotional surges.

Well, at least to some degree…

G GEMINI: November’s emphasis on Gemini’s health and work suggests streamlining daily routines in ways that benefit your wellbeing. There’s plenty of energy this week for liberating yourself from ingrained habit patterns and acknowledging your own deepest personal needs, which only escalate the more you ignore them.

H CANCER: This week in-depth self-examination has the spinoff of increased insights into your own psychology, then into other people’s needs, feelings and ways of behaving – new awareness that helps resolve misunderstandings successfully for all concerned. Be vigilant about not buying into gossip

or careless assumptions.

I L EO: This is an excellent week for reviewing mutual agreements, then revising, renewing or releasing them. With the present cosmic geometry powering an internal journey of self-awareness, you’re being offered the opportunity to finally and successfully delete an old program that’s kept repeating, repeating, repeating…

J VIRGO: Mars in Virgo ticking off the to-do list could be this week’s high point as relationships change, rearrange and go through the cosmic mouli. Take a firm stand, be kind, postpone deep and meaningfuls till next week when emotional static subsides and you’re more likely to be heard.

K L IBRA: November’s all about money, honey: fiscal rejigs, resource management, economic sanctions… sound dull? No way, because Librans know how keep it light when things get tight – ain’t that right?

Pay close attention to details this week, while not losing sight of the big picture.

L SCORPIO: Astral agitation in your sector of partnerships, teamwork and alliances suggests approaching personal and office politics with a giant dose of diplomacy. Treat all gripes and grievances as transitory, which they are. You’re undergoing a massive transformation; be gentle with yourself and everyone else.

<echowebsection=GigGuide>

M S AGITTARIUS: This week offers deep insights into where you’re stuck in a rut or old habit pattern, with midweek Sagittarian moon shining light on how you got there and the way out, ie a physical/mental/ emotional detox that automatically installs smarter, more fruitful operating programs in your personal biocomputer.

N CAPRICORN: If this week uncovers hidden business, concealed information or covert operations, you’d be forgiven for having a power surge. But not for sustaining it, when unifying opposing agendas is a high priority and midweek Venus/late-week moon in Capricorn both massively enhance your people skills.

O AQUARIUS: Growth and progress mightn’t be obvious right now, but like a time-lapse photographic sequence be assured you are continually growing, shifting and evolving. If this intense week brings uncomfortable realisations, it’s advisable to retreat and maintain emotional poise rather than engage in heated arguments.

P P ISCES: Despite Mercury retrograde’s delays, forgetfulness, cathartic dramas, erratic interactions and uncomfortable surprises, the present starry scenario still offers oodles of juice for efficient, effective and mostly harmonious change if you can manage not to lose your cool – easy to do this week.

This week The Echo talks to Gaudi Diaz, the owner and manager of Pizza Bar Byron. From midday the Pizza Bar serves casual street lunches, pizza, calzone and salads, then from 5pm it becomes a full restaurant serving pasta, pizza, salads and more with a bar serving cocktails, beer and a wine list including international wines.

How did you come to live here?

Gaudi: We moved here seven years ago to get more experience in the hospitality industry.

With the Pizza Bar we wanted to create an affordable comfortable restaurant that anyone can enjoy, that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to break the bank but still offers a high quality of fresh tasty food that everyone can enjoy.

Who/what is your greatest influence?

Traditional Italian cuisine is our big influence. The simple flavours done well. Those customers who have been to Italy particularly appreciate the authentic, traditional Italian cuisine.

What is the most rewarding thing about what you do?

The most rewarding thing about the Pizza Bar is the return local clientele. Byron thrives during the busy season but to me a sign of a good restaurant is one that the locals visit over and over again.

How would you describe your restaurant?

Fun and relaxed, with quality food that is affordable. We like to think we offer something for everyone from an extensive kids menu, delicious pastas and pizzas to cocktails and international wines.

Casual relaxed seaside dining overlooking the picturesque Wategos beach. Using the freshest produce and seafood from throughout the region. Raeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is an iconic restaurant with a reputation as the best in the area.

AGM NOTICE

FATHERS For ďŹ ve years I have been experiencing what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d call international parental child abduction. A Byron Baybased welfare mother believing fathers are irrelevant. You know the kind. I am interested in making contact with men as a form of growth from the pain this and many other â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;empoweredâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; women have created. PS. I love my Mum, female partner and daughter. Direct all letters to PO Box 1255, Mullumbimby, NSW 2482

That’s the way it is. Everyone falls under Billi’s gentle spell. Just look at that big friendly, patient face - just waiting to show what a gentle loving friend he is.

Held on Stradbroke Island, Island Vibes Festival is fast becoming a yearly mecca for reggae enthusiasts.

It attracted around 4,000 punters and world-class musicians last week, but this time there was an activist edge – a traditional elder spoke publicly at the festival against the Queensland government’s attempt to extend sand mining on Stradbroke Island.

‘I have avoided making public comments,’ said Quandamoooka Elder Joan Hendricks, ‘because for the last 30 years I have been working on reconciliation.’

Aunty Joan says her people have been engaged in a 17year High Court battle for recognition as traditional owners of Stradbroke Island.

‘The Court awarded us Native Title and we negotiated an Indigenous Land Use Agreement (ILUA) with the Queensland government in 2011. The ILUA gave us custodianship of the land, dedicated 80 per cent of the island to national park, and committed to end sand mining in 2019.

‘This agreement is being over-ridden by the current

Queensland government as it seeks to extend sand mining to 2030. Sand mining has already destroyed 30 per cent of our island. We have another battle on our hands.’

It was a speech that continues reggae’s tradition as a vehicle for political uprising.

Drummer Erik Adams from the band The Link, says, ‘It’s connected to the earth through its rhythm and freedom from oppression through its lyrics. There is a massive resurgence in reggae, particularly among the youth. They are identifying with the cause.’

Meanwhile national dancehall champion and festival performer Nadiah Idris told The Echo, ‘Reggae has its roots in the struggle of the Jamaican people for independence.’

Ms Hendricks ended with, ‘Sand mining is our past, but not our future. You will go home soon and I hope you have seen this island and take some understanding of what we are fighting for. I am not asking you, I am begging you to listen.’

The battle of indigenous islanders from oppression by white Europeans continues in 2013, just 150km from our shores.

Statistics highlight the value of sport The size and significance of sport to Australians and the national economy was reinforced recently with the release of data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS).

Australian Sports Commission CEO Simon Hollingsworth welcomed the Value of Sport, Australia, 2013 (cat no. 4156.0.55.002) report, published by the ABS, which

quantified the economic impact of the sport sector and the number of people involved in sport.

‘These data show the economic importance of sport for Australia, which are in addition to the well-known health and social benefits,’ he said.

‘This report is an insightful and useful analysis of the economics of Australia’s

sporting sector, which notably includes a sizeable export component.’

ABS data released today showed the sport and recreation industries generated $12.8 billion in income and employed about 134,000 Australians in 2011–12.

The data also highlighted the fact that the sport and recreation sector has the nation’s highest volunteer base with some 2.3 million people volunteering.

‘Our national sporting organisations assist in providing a platform for the 3.8

million Australians involved each year in organised sport around the country,’ Hollingsworth said.

‘The many thousands of sporting contests that take place around Australia each week are dependent on the passion and commitment of the people who volunteer.

‘This report serves to remind us of how important sport is to millions of Australians.’

Comprehensively covering the NSW Far North Coast

NSW’s first time home buyers halve in number over the year Housing has become more unaffordable for first time home buyers across NSW with 44 per cent fewer buyers purchasing property this year compared to last, according to research from Bankwest.

The fifth annual Bankwest First Time Buyer Deposit Report, part of Bankwest’s Financial Indicator Series, revealed that only 16,577 first time buyers purchased their first home in NSW over the past year. This is nearly half that recorded in the previous year (29,590).

House prices across the state have risen by 7.34 per cent over the year, taking the price of a median priced house to $504,500 in 2013. In contrast, wages in NSW rose by only 2.77 per cent over the same time period, bringing the average wage for people aged 25–34 to $50,590.

Bankwest executive general manager, retail, Mark Reid said: ‘New South Wales first time buyers are facing significant challenges in making their first step onto the property ladder. Wages are struggling to keep pace with increasing house prices, causing real affordability issues.’

Neighbouring state Queensland took a similar knock to first time buyer numbers, with 4,256 fewer individuals entering the Queensland property market over the year; equating to a 22 per cent drop in first time buyer numbers overall.

inside.

‘The October 2012 abolition of the first home owner grant for established homes in NSW and Queensland appears to be the common denominator.

They were the only states to abolish the grant early on and have both seen significant drops in first time home buyer activity,’ said Mr Reid.

‘However, there may well be light at the end of the tunnel for first time home buyers, with ABS data showing building approvals across NSW shot up by 22.6 per cent over the year. The first home owner grant for new homes is still available, so perhaps this is a chance for first time buyers to make their move into the property market.’

The Bankwest First Times Buyer Deposit Report found that a first time buyer couple in NSW would need to save for 4.7 years to save enough for a 20 per cent deposit ($100,900) for a median-priced house in Australia’s least affordable state. Victoria follows closely behind in terms of unaffordability, where it would take first time buyer couples an average 4.4 years to save for a 20 per cent deposit ($90,600) for a median-priced house.

Sydneysiders can now expect to save for 6.3 years to raise $143,100 towards a 20 per cent deposit for a home. A similar situation can be found in Melbourne, where couples need to save for 5.5 years to accumulate enough savings for a 20 per cent deposit ($116,500) on a median-priced house.

Regional areas are a more affordable choice for the state’s first time home

buyers; however, these options may only appeal to individuals with a taste for open space. Central Darling is the most affordable area in New South Wales, where it would take an average couple 0.8 years to save the $12,200

needed for a 20 per cent house deposit.

‘As first time buyers find themselves priced out of higher-density city areas, regional alternatives may become more appealing, and when looking outside of the typical hotspots there are still bar-

gains to be had,’ said Mr Reid.

More detailed analysis, data and tables are contained within the fifth annual Bankwest First Time Buyer Report, which is available at www.bankwest.com.au.

Backlash Queenslandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new biker laws received worldwide attention when police questioned a man as a suspected member of an outlaw motorcycle gang until they discovered his Sons Of Anarchy T-shirt referred to a fictional biker gang in a popular American TV series. If certain outfits were a pointer to criminality, then surely all politicians in suits should be suspect. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to outlaw the tie anyway. Identifying people as criminals by their clothing is perilous; the act of committing a crime is the real giveaway. And the suggestion that convicted bikers may have to wear pink overalls in prison reminds us of the pink triangles by which homosexuals were identified under the Nazi regime.

Suzanne Flowerday says of her photo, taken in the carpark at Woolies in Mullum: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Got quite a shock when I pulled in beside it. Dunno where this dude is going but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad he looks after his teeth properly.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

ness in NSW have struggled under layers of red tape and complicated bureaucracy when it comes to doing home renovations and making simple changes to their places of business. It is for these and other important reasons that the NSW government has introduced the Planning Bill 2013 into the parliament.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Well, geez, guys, werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you the bureaucrats who upheld the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;layers of red tape and complicated bureaucracyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;? Under NSWâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s corrupted and corruptible administrative systems, it seems the public service has lost its armâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s-length independence from the pollies. And what the Department should have pointed out is that the other â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;important reasonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for the Planning Bill 2013 include making life easier for the developers instead of for resident objectors.
