Mullum best in show Farewell Mr Ades Vale one of Australia’s finest improvisers Mandy Nolan
An action-packed weekend saw crowds in their thousands and plenty of everything rural at the 106th Mullum Show. The whole community were involved, from the Farmers Market, Bay FM, the Mullum Music Festival to all the local schools, local businesses and farmers.

Last Friday November 8 at 2.20am Bangalow resident and musician David Ades died peacefully in his home after a battle with lung cancer. The internationally recognised and nationally lauded saxophonist was on his deck, enveloped in the sweet scent of gardenias and surrounded by the three most important women in his life, his girlfriend Claire, his daughter Amelia and his sister Ruth. Longtime friend Deborah Pearse said the women were devoted to David. ‘There is no other world for it. Meeting Claire was a great gift from the universe for David. She got to meet him before he got diagnosed and so he got to have her with him through the whole thing. It made a huge difference.’ David himself had nursed his wife Melissa Jane, who died of breast
cancer just over seven years ago. She also died peacefully at their Bangalow home. ‘I don’t know many men who could have done what David did,’ says Deborah. David Ades played how he lived, with passion and openness. It was part of what made him such a character both on and off stage. ‘I don’t know anyone with such an appetite for life,’ says Deborah. ‘He had that incredible passion for lots of things: for music, for surfing, for his family and friends.’ I first met David Ades 25 years ago when he moved into the house behind me in Byron Bay in the early nineties. He was the kind of person who made his presence felt even before you met him. You don’t hear saxophone like that without knowing that you are hearing something extraordinary. continued on page 7
Companies ‘stealing’ solar power: Greens MP Chris Dobney
The state’s privatised electricity companies are taking solar electricity generated on consumers’ rooftops during peak times without paying, according to NSW Greens MP John Kaye. Dr Kaye told audiences at Mullumbimby last week that, as a result of the government closing the solar bonus scheme, excess electricity generated by grid-connected solar panels was being siphoned off by the companies for anything between $0 and eight cents per kilowatt hour.
The same electricity could then be retailed to a neighbour for as much as 35 cents per kilowatt hour, he said.
Theft on a grand scale Consumers with grid-connected panels were effectively subsidising the fossil-fuel electricity industry, he said, while adding many were still getting massive electricity bills. He described the practice as ‘theft on a grand scale, with the state’s privatised electricity retailers and the distributors harvesting hundreds of millions of dollars each year in unearned profits’.

‘The absence of a feed-in tariff that rewards households for the energy they generate is deeply unfair
to people who invested in cleanenergy technologies,’ said Dr Kaye. ‘It is also undermining the future of a technology that will play a crucial role in moving NSW off coal and coal seam gas,’ he added. ‘One million solar households around Australia have already helped avoid the massive expense of a new coal-fired power station. ‘They are taking pressure off the climate by avoiding greenhouse gas emissions and they created thousands of new jobs.’ The Greens are planning to introduce a bill into state parliament
that would set a fair rate of reimbursement by electricity companies to retail customers for their excess rooftop-generated solar power. ‘As part of a package designed to wean the state off coal- and gas-fired electricity, the new tariff would reward existing solar households and encourage others to join them,’ Dr Kaye said. ‘If the north coast National Party MPs are serious about taking the pressure off their constituents’ power bills they will support our bill.’ Q Read more on this story at

Byron chamber’s new gender-balanced board Byron Bay’s chamber of commerce, Byron United, has a newly appointed board, comprising five male and five female directors. Incoming president is Michael O’Grady, who replaces Balcony restaurant manager, Paul Waters. Mr O’Grady is the director of the Byron Bay English Language School, and is also a keen surfer and musician. At their annual general meeting (AGM) last Thursday Mr Waters told members he was honoured to have served
as president and said he will still remain active behind the scenes helping with town beautification programs such as graffiti removal while lobbying governments for improved town facilities and amenities. Mr Waters leaves the post with cash in BU’s bank and increased membership. Additionally, Council’s general manager Ken Gainger was guest speaker at the AGM and spoke of Council’s relationship with the business community and future plans for the town.

Commission seeks victims of child abuse at children’s home The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse is calling on former residents who suffered child sexual abuse at the North Coast Children’s Home in Lismore to come forward. The Commission’s CEO Janette Dines says she is particularly interested in talking to anyone who made a claim to the Grafton Anglican Church. ‘We know that many children suffered terrible sexual abuse at the North Coast
Children’s Home over a very long period of time, from the 1940s to the 1980s, and that many victims are still suffering the long lasting effects of child sexual abuse.’ She says information shared is kept absolutely confidential. To speak with the Royal Commission, call 1800 099 340 or visit www.childabuseroyalcommission.gov.au. Meanwhile, a community forum and Q&A night planned for November 28
aims to break down the social taboos surrounding child abuse.
Q&A and forum planned Nov 28 Abuse survivor and Byron Shire resident John Saunders is the author of the recently published Sexual Abuse Survivor’s Handbook and, along with mayor Simon Richardson, will host the evening. A panel of five professionals
in the fields of health, law and relationships will also attend. John’s book sheds light on instances of past and present abuse within one of the largest, oldest and most powerful organisations on Earth, the Catholic Church. The evening will be held at the Community Centre Byron Bay on November 28 from 7pm. Bookings can be made at the centre. For information about the book visit www. sexualabusesurvivors.com.au.

North coast MPs ‘fail to protect local parks from hunting’ Chris Dobney
Forest-protection campaigners have slammed north coast MPs for failing to propose any local national parks or reserves for exclusion from any future trial that could potentially make them available for recreational hunting. The government has announced a three-year trial for amateur hunting in 12 mostly western NSW national parks. The announcement was a watered-down version of the government’s original proposal, struck after a deal with the Shooters and Fishers Party, which fell into disarray after key members of the Game Council, which was to oversee the issuing of licences, were charged with illegal hunting. The Game Council was subsequently stripped of its powers and the parks being used as part of the new trial are near Griffith, Cobar, Balranald, Dubbo, Bourke and
Albury. Parks on the original list included Goonengerry National Park and Nightcap National Park in the northern rivers.
MP Page sparks war of words The issue has sparked a war of words between Ballina MP Don Page and North East Forest Alliance (NEFA) spokesperson Dailan Pugh. In a media release timed to coincide with the announcement, Mr Page accused the North East Forest Alliance (NEFA) of ‘running a scare campaign for over a year claiming that shooters would be allowed into national parks in the Ballina Electorate’. ‘This was never going to be the case but they refused to listen. Now it has been confirmed with the announcement of the trial locations,’ Mr Page said. But NEFA’s Dailan Pugh hit
back, saying that north coast National Party MPs failed to move amendments to exclude recreational hunting from national parks when given the opportunity to do so, with the passage of the Game and Feral Animal Control Amendment Bill 2013 last month. As such, Mr Pugh says, ‘the failure of north coast MPs to put forward any national parks or reserves for exclusion has left them all potentially available for recreational hunting according to political whims.’
‘It is outrageous that Don Page is now accusing NEFA of running a misinformation and scare campaign because we have opposed recreational hunting in national parks.’

Farewell to an uncompromising genius When I reflect on the music and the spirit of David Ades, it is not the numerous amazing gigs that I remember most. It is Ades playing in the street, often to no-one. Or just one or two people. Just a man and his instrument. Ades played for the sheer joy of playing and like his infamous New York father, potato-peeler seller Joe Ades, the street was in his blood. Very often you’d hear Dave’s sax drifting through Byron, creating this amazing soundscape, placing you in a film you didn’t even know was being shot.
continued from page 1
David performed with classical orchestras and collaborated with esteemed international figures such as Wynton Marsalis, Mark Helias, Tony Malaby, Gerald Cleaver, Tom Rainey, Dr John and Joe Locke as well as Australians Paul Grabowsyky, Dale Barlow, Roger Frampton, Vince Jones, The Cat Empire and one of the most influential figures in his life, composer Phil Treloar. Treloar instilled in Ades the importance of trust, authenticity and the willingness to take risks, even if that means playing on the ‘edge of the abyss’. As it turned out, this was the place where Ades played the best, right out there on the precipice. Musician Vince Jones said upon hearing of his passing: ‘It’s been said a man who doesn’t create is like a cloud that never rains. That could never be said about Dave – he poured his creative and beautiful music over us all his life.’
Praised by critics Writers and critics all agreed that Ades had something different. Jazz writer Craig McGregor believed that ‘Dave Ades was one of the best jazz saxophonists I have ever heard… and a lovely man. I suspect his musical

heart was with the black avant garde American musicians of the 70s; shrill high register, abrupt phrases, a searing anger, but joy through most everything he played. But he was also capable of gentle, soulful solos and accompaniments to singers.’ Sydney Morning Herald music critic John Shand was also one to recognise the uniqueness of Ades’s voice in

the music scene. ‘There was a life force to Dave’s playing that exploded from the bell of his saxophone and enveloped the room. He made the alto saxophone sound bigger than it had a right to be, and he knew that one played music for keeps, or shouldn’t play at all. His passing is a massive loss to Oz music.’ Up until his recent decline, David Ades was playing and recording music, approaching every gig ‘as a huge opportunity to play. I approach it like it could be my last.’ David sought treatment overseas several times and two months ago he travelled to New York to record what was to be his last album. Ades faced that abyss; the trip caused him great physical duress. That 11-track album is to be called A Life in a Day and the master arrived the week before Dave died. Longtime friend Glenn Wright (director of Mullum Music Festival) was deeply saddened by his passing and said, ‘He is well loved by the local music scene, has big followings around the country and has an international reputation as one of Australia’s finest improvisers.’
As he cheekily quipped in our last interview together, ‘it’s like the music doesn’t know I have cancer.’ When he was in palliative care, his friend Deborah Pearse asked him if things would be different if he had his health back. ‘In the end,’ he said, ‘all that matters is my relationships with people. If I had my health back I’d be seeing friends and family more and watching the sunset!’ Vale David Ades. And thank you.

Climate Action Day this Sunday Sunday November 17 is Climate Action Day, and residents of the northern rivers will be assembling at Byron Bay’s YAC (Youth Activities Centre) from 4pm to send a clear message to government and business leaders that they have severely underestimated how much Australians care about climate change. The Australian government does not acknowledge the seriousness of the situation. Instead, they slashed science departments, jobs and cut funding for renewable energy. Please add your voice to the growing national and
international demand for real action. The afternoon will flow into evening with live music from Ryan Dingle, Juzzie Smith and A Little Province as well as a silent disco and presentations by the Earth Guardians.

Swags for Byron Bay’s homeless have now been distributed to BEAP (Byron Emergency Accommodation Project), says fundraiser organiser Stephanie Rouillon Held at Main Beach on September 21, the event drew musicians who donated their
time while local businesses contributed cash to buy the swags. Stephanie says she wants to thank all involved, and looks forward to the next fundraiser, which is being planned for Brunswick Heads on December 14.
NSW P&C shake-up yields new board Members of the Council of the Federation of Parents and Citizens Associations NSW (P&C Federation) voted unanimously last weekend to make changes to the Federation’s leadership. They say the changes were made to the leadership team to restore the level of advocacy and representation expected by the parents and citizens of NSW public school students.

racked by bullying and self-interest, and risked “sliding into irrelevance or disintegration’’ unless changes were made, including to the organisational structure.’ A local parent who attended the meeting told The Echo, ‘I am pleased with the election of a new president.’ ‘I also look forward to the strong leadership Ms Sharryn Brownlee will bring to the federation and repair the organisation’s reputation and refocus on what P&C does within our schools.’

Carbon tax bluster remains hyperbole
Volume 28 #23
November 12, 2013
Dear Mr Mike Gallacher, As NSW police minister I thought it important to let you know that a court case instigated by your legal team was thrown out of court and found to have wasted time and your department’s resources. I know it may sound like a trivial matter, but it was actually a significant test case in civil liberties. Residents who were peacefully protesting against an unwanted Metgasco CSG test site at Glenugie near Grafton on January 7 this year were arrested on questionable grounds. It appeared like a fairly sloppy piece of legal work; charges were also changed at the last moment. But most concerning was that magistrate David Heilpern last week suggested there may have been political interference. He said, ‘In this case I find myself asking what could possibly be the reason for continuing on with such an innocuous charge in these circumstances?’ I think it’s in the public interest to know who was behind this. Who pressured a police prosecutor to proceed with ‘vexatious’ charges? It’s possible you know already… but if not, maybe you can find out who it is so they can be made accountable? As you would know, such behaviour undermines the public’s confidence and the capacity of the police to keep law and order. I believe the police force for the most part carry out their duties professionally; however, directives and the tone of any organisation come from the top. I sincerely hope that you agree that police should not act as private security guards for corporate interests and that this matter should be explained publicly. Hans Lovejoy, editor

T
ony Abbott and his ministers are having great fun lambasting Labor’s decision to continue to oppose the repeal of the carbon tax unless it is replaced with an emissions trading scheme, as Kevin Rudd proposed before the last election. It is, they claim, a travesty of democracy, denying the government’s mandate and frustrating the clearly expressed will of the electorate. And some of them are adding privately, it is also a great relief because it enables Abbott to preserve what is left of his credibility on the issue – at least for a while longer. Much of Abbott’s railing against the great big new tax on everything has already been exposed for the bluster it always was. Whyalla has not been wiped out, the Sunday roast is still affordable and the dreaded python squeeze has singularly failed to strangle the economy. This has been of little consequence to an electorate long inured to political hyperbole and happy to muddle along in spite of it. But the voters still react strongly to any twinges from what Ben Chifley identified as the most sensitive part of their anatomy, the hip pocket nerve: and they do believe that the carbon tax has significantly raised their cost of living. Their budgets long ago absorbed the compensation introduced by the last government and to be continued by the present one and they believe, rightly or wrongly, that they are doing it tough. Obviously the most direct impact has come from increases in their electricity and gas bills, but they are also inclined to credit Abbott’s endlessly repeated claim that the carbon tax has put up the cost of just about everything. And
they expect that as soon as the tax is repealed, prices will fall. After all, that is what Abbott and his team promised: instant relief, and plenty of it. Electricity down by nine per cent, gas down by seven per cent and across-the-board savings totalling $550 a year for the average family – whatever that is. What do we want? More money. When do we want it? Now. But the brutal reality is that we are unlikely to get it – at least not much of it, and not for quite a while. Yet again, life turns out to be not as simple as Tony Abbott’s slogans. Two of
The across-the-board bonanza Abbott forecast so glibly for two years just isn’t going to happen. by Mungo MacCallum the country’s biggest business conglomerates, the Australian Industry Group and the Business Council of Australia, have both warned the Carbon Tax Repeal Taskforce not to hold its collective breath. As the AIG submission tactfully puts it: ‘The proportionate impact of removing carbon costs will likely not match the impact of their introduction.’ The main reason, apparently, is that some 70 per cent of the costs were absorbed by business at the time – they were never passed on in the first place. And the group’s CEO Innes Wilcox throws in a caveat about the remaining 30 per cent: ‘By the time it gets repealed it will have been in place for two years. That’s not an easy thing to wind up.’ The BCA has its own get-out clause: new contracts normally take about three months to write, and there will be a lot of devil in the detail.

In other words, the across-theboard bonanza Abbott forecast so glibly for two years just isn’t going to happen. But hang on; even if nothing much changes in the supermarket, at least our power bills must fall; after all, that’s where the tax hit directly, isn’t it? Well, yes and no. A joint submission from all peak energy bodies – generators, wholesalers and retailers – says it is difficult to be specific, which hardly sounds like a reason for joyous optimism. After the tax is repealed, it will take months before it flows through to con-

sumers, and even then it will vary widely from place to place. For starters, prices in most states are going to rise on July 1 – the date from which Abbott promises the repeal will kick in – because of increased costs of transmission, which will probably at least negate any savings from dropping the carbon tax, which only applies to about 30 per cent of the end price of electricity anyway. In Western Australia and the Northern Territory retail prices are set directly by the government, which may or may not decide to hang on to any savings, when and if they happen. In other regions there are complex rules about how and when prices can be adjusted. And then, further down the line, there are different kinds of contracts for customers, some of whom have already received discounts for factoring in carbon prices and will not get a
second bite. Gas is another matter again: in states like New South Wales and Western Australia prices are regulated and will take time to adjust. So the bottom line is that some punters may get some small relief when it trickles down the line, but by that time any savings will have been overtaken by other price rises, so anger and resentment are far more likely responses than the gratitude Abbott has been counting on. So the longer this reckoning can be postponed, the better: hence the intransigence of the Labor Party and the Greens are in fact bonuses for which Abbott should be profoundly thankful. He and Joe Hockey are still insisting that all their promises will be delivered: the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission is to be given extra funds to make sure of it. But it is already clear that neither the ACCC nor any other authority can make this pig fly. If Abbott is in fact determined to honour his promise, he will have to find the cash in consolidated revenue, because it certainly isn’t coming from industry – not unless Abbott re-nationalises the whole shebang, which would surely be a back flip beyond even him. So thank heavens we have disposed of the budget emergency. We don’t need any more taxes or charges – well, perhaps just a few of those foreshadowed by the last government. The money has started to flow again. And Joe Hockey reckons that his first budget will have the solution to everything. And you’d better believe him. As Abbott said, it’s all about trust. It has to be; we’ve got nothing else to rely on. Q See Mungo’s video at

Belongil rocks
The article in last week’s Echo (‘Belongil rock project open for comment’) unfortunately is misleading to residents. There will be no public consultation on this matter. The councillors who voted for it to happen never determined for it to go out on public exhibition. Dumping rocks on the Belongil sand spit will not be determined via a normal development application pro-
cess but under Part 5 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act. Under this provision there is no process for residents of the Shire to make a submission on this matter either for or against. The decision is effectively to be determined behind closed doors. This is the main reason I did not vote in support of this happening. I believe Byron Shire residents deserve better than this from our elected representatives. Cr Paul Spooner Byron Bay

Clear health benefits in fluoridation Fluorine, the first of the halogens, of which some are so terrified, is naturally found in life as fluoride. For example, it is found in tea, and more so in green tea, widely praised for its dental and general health benefits. There have been no indications that this has harmed anyone over many cuppas and years of tea-drinking. Nor is there any solid science against fluoride’s use, even in hot non-stick frypans. To the contrary, there is convincing proof that it helps teeth, to the point where most people now die with their own teeth, or some of them, and at 75, instead of at 45 without any, as in the 1800s. Many people brought up with fluoride since the 50s have perfect teeth. This is much better. Fluoride was first introduced into drinking water in Grand Rapids, Michigan,
in the 1940s. Other US states rapidly followed without hesitation or any apparent ill-effects since, and considerable benefits. Did I mention that it also helps stop osteoporosis by toughening bones? Fervent opposition to fluoridation came from the ultra-right-wing John Birch Society, which maintained that it was a filthy Communist mind-control plot, admirably satirised in Kubrick’s Dr Strangelove; designed to interfere with ‘precious bodily fluids’, fluoridation gave valid grounds for the total destruction of the world. (Not a good starting point for a protest.) Conspiracy theories about waste aluminium byproducts and the sugar industry abound, but given there is no firm evidence of fluoride doing any harm, the remaining objections are based on individual freedom, etc. But there
is an insidious side to these objections. Those who would most benefit from fluoridation – the poor, the ignorant, the disadvantaged, and more particularly their children – are those most unlikely to seek or receive regular dental care, or obtain personal fluoride tablets from whichever public authority is handing them out, or remember to use them. Or to be a ‘stakeholder’ and campaign for fluoridation. And most people with money, wholly illogically, prefer bottled water, so would not drink fluoridated water if we had it in any event. (What on Earth are they on about, and why, one asks.) Those who seek to deny the less-well-off this distinctly successful and comparatively cheap public health measure (certainly when compared with desperate operations on babies) are like American Re-
publicans arguing that making the rich pay less taxes is good for everyone. Refusing to participate in fluoridation (or the iodisation of salt, or chlorination of water, all of which use halogens, to the benefit of all – for instance, no-one gets cholera any more) causes social injustice and does active harm to the disenfranchised. Those without have to do without, as usual, when this should not be. Fluoridation has clear health benefits for the vast majority of the population, and no real downside. We are a democracy, and a 50.01 per cent ‘mandate’ is enough to justify governments taking irrevocable steps into the relative unknown. The whims of the privileged few should not be allowed to prevail where the benefits are so clear.
sell next year, pray to plug up the potholes then? Any idiot will tell you this is disastrous economics but why am I not surprised. Pass the deficit on to the next lot who get voted in and have a good whinge about how it’s not their fault?
And while I’m on the subject can someone please explain why we need more meetings to discuss the fluoride issue as our beloved mayor says Council have already decided to vote against adding this toxin to our water supply. Is there something he’s not telling us... again? Kate Johnson Ocean Shores

A pleasant evening
As one of the 12,000 plus ‘disingenuous individuals’ who actively support action for a moratorium on coal seam gas extraction, I am saddened but not surprised that once again minister Don Page has backed away from supporting his constituents. He now has
resorted to divisive language, questioning our sincerity, to make his point. His backflip on his support for returning our rail services, his backflip on his support for the residents of the north of Byron Shire over the North Byron Parklands development, and now his total lack of support for the 12,000plus residents who gathered together to learn about the potential devastation of coal seam gas, and who signed the petition calling for a moratorium, indicate how many of our elected politicians ‘unsupport’ those who they are elected to represent. Minister Page and the continued on next page
I would just like to comment on how well behaved and polite all the children were who called to our house on Halloween night – and there were quite a few. We particularly noticed the big kids giving the little kids a ‘fair go’.

Letters/Articles/Pin This Up continued from page 11 Byron Shire councillors who voted against a gasfield-free Shire should get out of the Bay and and take time to drive into the hinterland, down some of our country roads and into the beautiful valleys. Big trucks up and down our roads, networks of massive pipes and gas mines dotted all over the lush valley floors, sullage ponds and tracts of cleared vegetation will be a result of your failure to listen to the residents you should represent, whether they voted for you or not. The Yelgun Valley/ Wooyung Group registered over 99 per cent in our ‘disingenuous’ petition against coal seam gas. Thankfully, the majority of Byron Shire councillors supported us and all those who care about our beautiful Shire. We demand that this potentially destructive madness stops. Minister Page should stop being a supporter of coal seam gas in his electorate. We don’t want it here, therefore, neither should he. Maybe a gas hub and port facility off Julian Rocks might alter the unrepresentative thinking of Minister Page and the dissenting councillors Cubis, Woods, Hunter and Ibrahim. The two-kilometre exclusion zone around residential areas is a poor excuse for so-called ‘tough restrictions’ placed on the coal seam gas

We have coal companies and government wanting to go full steam ahead with coal ports up and down the Queensland coast, posing an obvious deadly risk to marine life and the Great Barrier Reef. Along with this, a resumption of live cattle export, with more evidence of extreme cruelty to sheep. What were all those exposés and protests against animal cruelty about? And then the ongoing Fukushima debacle – apparently now in cleanup mode, with much risk involved and as usual the ramifications of the incident ‘played down’ to the maximum by TEPCO and the Japanese government.

Likes flat earths, God, misogyny and sport, especially bicycles and swimming. As a Rhodes Scholar he studied politics and philosophy and got ‘a solid second’, according to The Guardian. But by most accounts he mostly played sport and honed his bullying skills at Oxford. A Rhodes Scholar, by the way, is not such a hard gig to get. It’s part of a production line for ‘world leaders’ established by British imperialist Cecil Rhodes. Toned Abbs is proof that connections are more important than ability. Doesn’t like media, the climate, accountability, transparency, round earths, scientists, gays, fact and reason. Ironically was a boat asy-

Warren Truss is well adept at disguises: here he mimics floral wallpaper.
Ex-Kingaroy farmer and councillor, Truss is often mistaken for a wardrobe or hatstand. He can also easily camouflage himself against beige wallpaper, making it hard for predators to spot him. Just slashed $150,000 in Byron Shire infrastructure funding last week and it’s fair to say more is to come. JULIE BISHOP – Foreign affairs minister.

Eric Abetz was born in Germany, migrated to Tassie then studied law. After that he spent roughly ten years in obscurity before politics. Fun fact: Eric Abetz is the great-nephew of SS-Brigadeführer Otto Abetz, Nazi ambassador to Vichy France from 1940 to 1944.
As a corporate lawyer in the 1980s, she represented mining company CSR and tried to stop dying asbestos victims getting compensation in what remains Australia’s greatest single industrial disaster. An estimated 1,000 people died who were living and working near the mine at Wittenoom, WA. Now minister for foreign affairs, she is contributing to the decline of Australia’s international reputation. She’s divorced, childless and the only woman in Toned Abbs’s cabinet. Nickname: ‘Token Deathstare’. ERIC ABETZ – Minister for employment, minister assisting the prime minister on the public service.
The Liberals are not known for their sense of humour, empathy, imagination or love of the arts, and Brandis is no exception. But there is comedic value in that he is minister for the arts; he said on ABC TV’s Q&A last year that he doesn’t even listen to music. He’s also a Queen’s counsel (QC), which is slightly higher up the lawyer foodchain. He developed a large law practice in the mid 1980s specialising in trade practices law, and then in 2003 made a 20-minute speech describing the Green party as Nazis. And Brandis likes a rort: it was revealed in 2011 that he had billed the taxpayer for attending the wedding of Sydney radio shock-jock Michael Smith. Possibly dangerous, so maintaining eye contact is recommended, although staring into the soulless vacuum of psychopathy is not advised. Best to avoid. JOE HOCKEY – Treasurer. Treasurer Hockey is of Armenian and Palestinian decent, a Roman Catholic and a republican. Given that his heritage comes from an oppressed minority, one would expect him to have more empathy for people trying to escape persecution. Prior to public office he completed an arts-law degree, then became a banking and finance lawyer of no considerable note. This Sydneysider has been in public office since 1996, loves rugby union and bashing the public service. Enjoys strip-mining public assets and denying essential services for the poor and disadvantaged.
BARNABY JOYCE – Minister for agriculture.
Pardon me, Joyce, is that another taxpayer-funded event you attended? This high profile Nationals MP can sometimes be mistaken for an iguana. After he studied commerce, he became an accountant and is now minister for agriculture and public rorts. Though never short of an opinion or colourful metaphor, I recall he didn’t want to answer my direct question on whether he supports government accreditation of the the renewable industries. Currently, renewable industries such as solar, wind and hydro are regulated by fossil fuel companies. What could possibly go wrong? One redeeming feature is that he’s crossed the floor 19 times (ie disagreed with his own party), but alas, he’s best mates with Gina Rinehart. Was ridiculed for his economic thesis, but told me he still stands by it. CHRISTOPHER PYNE – Minister for education.
After he graduated with a diploma of legal practice he became a solicitor in 1991, but then was elected to public office in 1993. And while that made him the youngest current member of the Australian parliament, it also makes him one with the least amount of real-life experience. Pyne is a Roman Catholic and republican, likes icecream and is easily distracted by bright colours. Also a big fan on the war on drugs, Broadway musicals and the sound of his own voice.

plemented the controversial WorkChoices labour market reforms, revoked on character grounds the visa of Dr Mohamed Haneef and cut Australia’s refugee intake from African nations in 2007. This Victorian ex-barrister is a Roman Catholic and is a member of the Lyons Forum, a socially conservative Christian faction within the God-fearing coalition. God help us. MALCOLM TURNBULL – Minister for communications.
This Kingaroy-born National now lives in Toowomba and likes to drill, baby, drill. Known for his raspy voice, ability to cut red tape and make babies cry, he relishes the job of convincing farmers that plonking drilling rigs on their property is ‘co-existing’.

As a former Howard government Liberal MP, Andrews has a long history of racism and bigotry. He im-
Bob Brown told me once, ‘there are two things you can see from outer space: the great wall of China and Malcolm Turnbull’s ego’. And well, why not. He was far richer than anyone else in parliament until Clive Palmer and has also done much more than the rest; from representing high-profile personalities as a lawyer to inventing the internet. He’s also been a journalist, investment banker and venture capitalist. And while he appears politically centrist, don’t be fooled. Like his colleagues, he wants to sell Australian land and companies to overseas corporations and embraces global free market fanaticism at the expense of nation building. He had a hard time de-
fending his inferior broadband network, but to his credit looks awkward and uncomfortable next to everyone else in the cabinet. They’re all idiots, aren’t they, Malcolm? Roman Catholic, republican and spoonfed. SCOTT MORRISON – Minister for stopping immigration and border protection. Don’t ask questions about asylum seekers or our concentration camps – I won’t be answering them. Look over there, there’s an adorable cat on the internet. Isn’t X-Factor on? Scott Morrison will hopefully, at one point, be tried for crimes against humanity. Ironically his background is actually tourism – after receiving an honours degree in applied science at NSW Uni for economics and geography, he then went on to be managing director of Tourism Australia. Now contributes to Australians’ reputation as bigoted arrogant thugs. GREG HUNT – Minister against the environment.
Greg Hunt continues to pursue the Liberals’ scorched Earth policy.
Enjoys wrecking the climate for future generations through rigorous debate. Okay, so he’s another law-
yer, having graduated from Melbourne Law School with first class honours as well as Yale University. Hunt was adviser to the odious South Australian Alexander Downer before being elected as member for Flinders in 2001. He confused everyone when he said recently he uses Wikipedia to source information – high school students would be ridiculed for such stupidity. Bravo, well played. PETER DUTTON – Minister for health, minister for sport This Liberal Queenslander was a cop for nine years, working on the drug squad in Brisbane. He then studied business in 1991 but then five years later became a pollie. And he’s just 42 years old. BRUCE BILLSON – Minister for small business. This bureaucrat turned pollie entered politics in 1996 and was educated at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. He worked at Hastings Shire Council as a ‘manager of corporate development’ before being an adviser to Victorian Minister for natural resources, and then policy adviser to the shadow minister for the environment, Rod Kemp.

Byron Shire maximises recycling efforts This week is National Recycling Week, providing an opportunity to review the year in recycling and promote plans for new services in Byron to maximise resource recovery. Plans are in place to introduce a whole new range of recycling services – including fluorescent light globes (ie the energy savers), polystyrene and household batteries.
Battery World offers the only national opportunity to recycle, or responsibly dispose of dead batteries. Over 8,000 tonnes of batteries go into landfill each year. Many are made from heavy metals and harmful elements such as nickel, cadmium, lead and mercury. The Battery World Community Recycling Program have since recycled over 6,000 tonnes of lead acid and other types of batteries. Recycle with us today!

into compost and be available for addition to our soils to add valuable nutrients to produce healthy food and gardens.
A bin composition survey conducted last year confirmed that half of what is in our red-lid rubbish bins is food scraps and garden cuttings. At present, these organics go straight into landfill. What a terrible waste. But the solution is on the horizon!
Kylie Bott, resource recovery officer, says, ‘The experience of our neighbouring councils in introducing green organics bins has been very positive and we are confident that the Byron Shire community will become part of this new solution to further improve recycling and help our environment’.
Byron Shire residents living in single dwellings will receive a new kerbside green bin for food and garden organics towards the middle of next year. These valuable resources will be turned

Battery World & Recycling Battery World offers the only national opportunity for the mums, dads and kids of Australia to recycle, or responsibly dispose of, dead batteries,* of any kind. (*Offer is for disposal of domesticusage batteries.) More than 8,000 tonnes of batteries go into landfill each year. Batteries are one of the most dangerous common wastes discarded by Australian households. Many are made from heavy metals and harmful elements such as nickel, cadmium, lead and mercury, which can pollute soil and water and harm wildlife and humans. Since the Battery World Community Recycling Program was initiated, more than 6,000 tonnes of lead-acid and other types of batteries have already entered the recycling process. That’s enough to fill the Sydney Cricket Ground 10 times over! Plus more than 36,000 analog EPIRBs have been collected for recycling since the digital changeover legislation. 19 Three Chain Rd South

diverted from landfill last year, proving that recycling is becoming a social norm,’ says Kylie Bott, resource recovery officer. ‘However, in a recent region-wide bin composition survey, we found that 10 per cent of materials going into the yellowlid recycling bin should not be there. The main culprit of contamination in the recycling bin is the plastic bag.
Santos Organics are excited to celebrate National Recycling Week! Come join us by receiving a 10 per cent discount on bulk items when you bring in your own reusable containers and a 10 per cent discount on other sustainable and reusable products such as food storage containers, BPA-free drink bottles, cleaning brushes, toothbrushes, plastic-free lunch wraps, cling-wrap alternatives and much more! We also proudly support sustainability and recycling in our stores with everyday initiatives such as using biodegradable and compostable takeaway containers in our juice bars and composting our fruit and vegetable scraps to be re-used by local gardeners. We encourage our customers to bring their own bags, while we also offer reusable bags and free recycled packaging in all our stores. Come visit us on the main streets of Mullumbimby and Byron Bay (opp Woolies), and in the Byron A+I Estate.

‘Our message is to keep the bag out of your recycle bin. Even if it contains recyclable materials, and is biodegradable or degradable – it simply should not be there. Why? Plastic bags and soft scrunchy plastics jam expensive recycling machinery. This results in the plastic bag and its contents not being able to be recycled. So what can we do instead with our plastic bags? Re-use

114th annual
BANGALOW SHOW THEME & PAVILION
The ocean is downstream of everything, so all our actions, no matter where we live, will have a direct impact on the ocean. ‘Of Sand and Sea’ is the title of this year’s pavilion show theme and there will be exhibits ranging from sardine tin dioramas, marine garments made from recycled materials and literally hanging from the rafters there will be mutant fish, jellyfish and other wonderful sea creatures. The possibilities are as vast as the ocean itself… a horticultural challenge to make a floral arrangement from flotsam and jetsam! The Pavilion is open to the public from midday Friday and all day Saturday. Much of the fruit ‘n’ veg, preserves, horticulture and baking will be donated by the exhibitors for the Charity Auction in the main ring on Saturday afternoon.
FRIDAY
A Magical Show Open 10am – 4pm Tues – Sun & Public Holidays
The show gets an early kick off with the working dogs going through their paces from 6.30am in the main ring before the judging of the horses and dairy cattle.

FYAH WALK WILL BE RELEASING THEIR THIRD ALBUM SPIRIT FYAH THIS FRIDAY AT THE GREAT NORTHERN ALONGSIDE THE POWERFUL BRISBANE BAND, BULLHORN. SEVEN SPOKE WITH FYAH WALK’S SIMON JERREMS.

Fyah at the Northern
Tell me a little about what you set out to achieve recording the new album. To express new creative ideas and give a broader picture of reggae music, of what it is, and what we have played in the past. We wanted to capture a sound close to live performance but add in some extra elements that can easily be done in the recorded atmosphere. What were the ideas, or inspirations, that you were drawing on? Well, drawing on modern ‘new roots’ ideas but also reflecting on the foundation style of reggae coming out of Jamaica from the 70s era. The album is songs written over the last few years and so is really what has come forward from those times. Some songs are about music reaching out across the planet and meeting people; some songs deal with social and historic issues such as colonialism and matters of Indigenous Australian justice. There are many subjects, world change, personal journey, spiritual vibes. The album has a more healing quality in it for me. How did you feel about the finished product? Did anything change much in the recording process? We are very happy with the finished product. We feel the songs were captured well; it’s easily some of our best work. The sound is really amazing and is owed to our hard work and Jan Muths, our engineer. We recorded everything in the northern rivers and we took longer with this
album in order to give our best. What are the challenges of keeping a band viable and playing in a regional area? How do you overcome those? The challenges are a few but the rewards are many. It can be hard to sustain at times. I suppose nowadays many people are used to the idea that music is free or something like that, but I feel we are well supported in the northern rivers. There is nothing to overcome; just do what needs to be done, write, rehearse, book, gig… continue and so on. What do you try to give audiences in a live performance? Does it differ from what you offer in an album? In a live performance we give all we can and it is about the instantaneous interaction with the people in the Now. The studio is the same in many ways because there is still interaction with life in a timeframe that will not come again… but there is more time to work out the technical stuff and review what you did
and see if you can put more life into the music. What should we expect for your launch? The launch will be massive with a lot of energy. Bullhorn are our support; they are seriously a great band. I was so impressed when I saw them and so were many others, so they will be epic. And up early, so come early… and then with King Krazy and three vocalists pushing out mad reggae and dancehall vibes, we will follow with a deep deep roots foundation style set, playing songs never played before. The launch will be huge. Also appearing on the night is King Krazy spinning roots reggae – with the mighty Blaze Fire Sound featuring live vocals from Dougy, Raz Bin Sam and Jaminglish. With $15 entry and concession $12, the doors will open at 9pm so be there early to see the first band. A deep roots reggae flavour guaranteed!

GREG KEW
IN 2002 WALLY DE BACKER (OF GOTYE) formed a band with two of his mates, Kris Schroeder and Tim Heath. Their style was unconventional and infectious from the start. Indie pool, rock no roll, reggae, ska, country, and over their ten-year-plus career the guys marked up more than 1,000 shows. Three years ago it all went quiet and they drifted off to their various other callings but, thanks to a whim, the three melodious indie pop rock muppets are back, and this time they are doing it for the joy! ‘We hadn’t seen much of each other and Kris and I caught up in Paris last year,’ says Tim. ‘Wally has been busy with Gaultier, Kris had been in Kenya, so this time when we got together again it was more about catching up as friends and playing music because we like being together. The tour started off as a few shows. It’s good not having much ambition and not trying to sell anything, in fact it was the most enjoyable tour to date; and to top it off we have had the biggest crowds we have ever had!’ Tim believes that the face of music has shifted during the decade he has been a musician. ‘I think the consumerism of music, or the consuming of music, has changed the way it works. People are downloading one song often as opposed to a whole album. Wally found that when he was touring internationally that the audience would wait for the number-one song they all knew and once they’d heard it they left. He said it was a bit disheartening!

‘Of course our audiences aren’t like that! It’s quite refreshing!’ Although Tim believes that while social media have taken with one hand, it has given with the other. ‘It totally contradicts what I said about how people consume, but on the other hand some people have access to bands now and many of them would never have had a shot in the past. You don’t have to rely on Triple J anymore to build up a following – there are bands around now who wouldn’t have had the success they enjoy now were it not for the internet.’ So how does it work with The Basics? ‘Kris and Wally generally write the songs and they will bring them to rehearsal or send through an mp3; then we rehearse it and try different ways of playing it and mess around with tempos and rhythm, and because its a three-piece you are limited to what you can create – it’s always pretty speedy though and with the harmonies it creates another instrument.’ It’s the three-piece harmonies that have set The Basics apart. ‘When we started it was early 60s stuff and it’s slowly changed; the three-part vocal is unique in this day and age. It’s really enjoyable when you are in tune; most of the time it’s easy, although sometimes you will be playing something in a different timing from what you are singing… too many beers certainly don’t help – you have to be on your toes. If the guitar drops out or a bass drops out it’s glaringly obvious in a three-piece!’

an adult I have often reflected how winning the monsterdrawing competition changed my perception of fear. It seemed unbelievable that a fearful child could be awarded first prize for accurately depicting her fear. ‘Congratulations to Mandy Nolan. She is clearly the most terrified girl in year one’. You see, all children can draw monsters, but only some of them live with monsters. It was easy for me to win the competition because I lived with a violent alcoholic father. I actually knew what monsters looked like. What was even more challenging than being frightened by the monster was loving the monster and somehow accepting that this monster was also part of you. That’s why my monsters were better than all the monsters drawn by nice children with functional families. And that’s probably why I have made a career out of talking about my monsters. Except ironically, the monsters of my adult life, unlike the ones who lived under my childhood bed, are real. Embrace your monsters before they embrace you. And for fellow monster lovers, Woodford Festival has run a Monsters Project canvassing more than 300 children to commit their inner monsters to paper. Twenty children were shortlisted and interviewed by organisers and three of those children have been hand picked to have their monsters made into 3.5-metrehigh puppets that will feature in Woodford Festival’s Welcome ceremony. I love it, although had they chosen my childhood monster to make a giant puppet I’d still be catatonic! Read more of Mandy in her book, What I Would Do If I Were You, available at all good bookshops the tanpura, and joined by Shen Flindell on tabla for a rhythmic interplay. Multiinstrumentalist Bart Stenhouse brings the modern-day classical Indian instrument, the mohan veena, to the soiree. Popularly known as the Indian guitar, the mohan veena is similar to the sitar, the sound being generated by melody and sympathetic strings. Yuki’s voice has a quality of purity rarely heard in vocalists. Playing and training in tabla since 1994, Shen has become one of Australia’s foremost tabla players. An accomplished player, Shen is known for his beautiful accompaniment, sensitive style and clear sound. He regularly travels to India to immerse in the teachings of his instrument. Bart is a musical explorer, seeking the common ground between the different worlds of music, and actively pursues them around the world. Currently he lectures at the Queensland Conservatorium and works actively as a film-score composer, live sound engineer and music producer. Yuki is leading a dhrupad vocal workshop for those interested in learning more about this beautiful and melodic form of singing. No experience needed!

The story goes that blessed Cecilia appeared in visions to all musicians to inspire them. So plead the singers in Benjamin Britten’s Hymn to Saint – Cecilia, one of the most perfect marriages of words and music. It is a sublime piece. The poem was written by WH Auden especially for Britten, whose birthday falls on St Cecilia’s Day, 22 November. St Cecilia is the patron saint of music, and Auden’s poem is part prayer for her to inspire composers and part excursion into the nature and power of music. Britten’s setting of it ranges from the playful to the profound. Vox Caldera Chamber Choir, directed by Nicholas Routley, is staging a concert in honour of Benjamin Britten. Also performing are Amatori Chamber Orchestra who will play Britten’s beautiful and lively Simple Symphony. International soprano, Gaynor Morgan will present some of Britten’s operatic arias and will join Vox Caldera in singing Hymn to Saint Cecilia. If you are unfamiliar with the work of Britten, spare some time to acquaint yourself with it through local musicians. Friday 22 November at Shearwater School in Mullumbimby. Further enquiries phone Sara 6684 4164. Tickets are $25 and $20 concession, are available at: Mullumbimby Bookshop. 7.30pm.

BLUESFEST 2014
Jack is Back THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT JACK JOHNSON IS ONE OF THE ICONS OF BLUESFEST. In fact he was first introduced to Bluesfest back in 2002 and it’s no coincidence that he is returning for the 25th anniversary of this international award-winning event. Hawaii-based Johnson embodies the feel of Bluesfest, with his casual easy approach making him an inspirational but accessible headline to the bill. In fact Johnson comes to Bluesfest even when he’s not playing. Just to soak up the vibe. It’s one of the
festivals that he loves going to, as a musician and as a punter. ‘There are certain festivals that you look forward to doing; Byron is one of these festivals. It’s not just on the stage, it’s backstage as well. There is a camaraderie in the band. Friendships begin at places like that. You get to hang out, new bands and the older bands; it’s a change to meet people like the Blind Boys of Alabama or someone who has been a huge influence. Or maybe someone you’d like to tour with one day!’
THE CLOCK LAUNCHES Michael Rafferty launches his new album The Clock at the Byron Theatre. The 11 tracks are original compositions written over the past 3–5 years. The album was produced at Redgate Studio during the winter months from June to August of 2013 with Slim Pickens at the helm. He also plays bass guitar on most tracks. Featuring Geoff (luckyboy) Wright on electric guitars. Rabbit Robinson plays strings, Sonja Henderson brass and backing harmonies are contributions from local lasses Sarah Grant, Kathryn Jones and Kellie Knight. Denis Warren is on keyboards and James Powers drums. The album explores a diverse range of subjects such as life-management issues, an artist’s soul callings, love explored and lost, some inner delving
In fact, sometimes the best gigs at Bluesfest are the ones that happen backstage. Jack says that is part of the magic that then makes its way onstage. ‘Some festivals are set up for rock stardom where everyone has their bit backstage. It can be understandable if you are Paul McCartney or something, but I love when there is one communal hangout area. I think back to every year and I love the jams that happen backstage, when you have no pressure, you don’t have to get it right; they are just magical moments, those are the fun bits!’ Johnson spends a lot of time with a guitar in his lap ‘working things out’. The earthiness of his music is deeply rooted in the way he makes and records music: at home, complete with children, dogs and roosters. ‘I don’t know which plays the bigger part: the living room or the front porch! The living room has the piano and the drum set; I go in there at night, but in the day I sit on the front porch with a guitar. For me, making music has always been a social thing. The first time I was playing guitar I was learning to play songs by Cat Stevens and the Beatles and it wasn’t about singing – it was about leading the singalong. I had those experiences, and when I started writing my own songs I pictured that my grandma would be sitting there and my nieces and nephews… and now I have my own kids. Although sometimes it is good to be alone to work out melodies, and the words!’ Jack’s music is effortless because he’s learnt not to fight it. ‘Sometimes lyrics come really naturally and other times it feels like a struggle to write. I’ve learnt not to write when it feels like a struggle. After my
second album I had used all the things that had come naturally and I was doing home recordings all the time, and I started using them and putting them on the album. I remember thinking I was back to square one. I don’t have songs now and, thinking that people would be listening, it became harder for a while. But then it came naturally again, and now I know not to try when they don’t come straight away. It’s like inhale and exhale. I read a lot of books, be present with my kids; that’s where my songs come from. ‘Its not like I am living to write songs, the songs. I have three kids – it’s a lot of fun to write from that view. I try to write songs about what I am experiencing. My first album was about the beginning of relationships, moving in with guys and going to college, and being let down by friends, and then the young-love songs… and then there’s the different time of having our first kid. I always tried to write songs about where I was at.’ For Jack, the stories of the instruments he uses are very much part of how he shapes a song. ‘I see a guitar and I want to pick it up. If you know the story behind a guitar it can feed into your playing. Like if you get to pick up Neil Young’s guitar and strum on it for a minute, that guitar has so many stories in it. Or you might see marks on a guitar and wonder about the stories. I had this one guitar and I pulled it out. I thought it was a vintage guitar and I realised that it was one that my mum had given me – it was so beat-up looking and every scratch was all my own doing! They were all my stories!’ Jack Johnson plays Bluesfest in an exclusive Good Friday performance. www.bluesfest.com.au

DOG TRUMPET BLOWS IN BYRON Dog Trumpet is a band spearheaded by musician/artist brothers Peter O’Doherty and Reg Mombassa. Reg is well known for his idiosyncratic work for Mambo Graphics and as a fine artist. Peter is also a successful and much sought-after painter. Both are former members of iconic ARIA award-winning Australian band Mental As Anything. Their contributions to the Mentals, who formed at art school, include songs such as Berserk Warriors, Egypt, Brain Brain, Apocalypso, Surf and Mull and Sex and Fun, Close Again and Psychedelic Peace Lamp. By the end of the 1990s they left the Mentals to concentrate on Dog Trumpet and to continue their respective parallel careers as visual artists. Dog Trumpet’s first release was the 1991 album Two Heads One Brain. It featured the eccentric pop singles Made of Wood, I’m So Handsome and Jean, and so began their new incarnation as eclectic purveyors of percussive psychedelic folk, country, and semi-abstract blues. In 2013 they continue their sonic alchemy with their sixth and best release – a double album, Medicated Spirits, released in Australia, the US and Canada

s r a t S WITH LILITH As Mercury turns direct again, the machinery of the cosmos gets busy unravelling misunderstandings, solving health mysteries and dissolving communication deadlocks…
E ARIES: An intense week with explosive potential and restraint recommended during hot and provocative late-week Aries moon. If unexpressed agendas become apparent, Mars gives you the muscle, smarts and mastery to stay put and surf the wild tide rather than blow up and quit. Respect! F TAURUS: The past in one of its myriad forms is likely to resurface this week for resolution, clearing the path for new plans to start taking on weight, shape and clarity. Have another go at something that, no matter how hard you tried, just hasn’t worked in recent weeks. G GEMINI: Your planetary ruler Mercury’s twin serpents wound round his healing wand signify the interweaving of opposite polarities: your brief for this week. Best achieved by checking whether what you have to say meets the conditions of conscious communication, ie is it true, helpful, kind and timely? H CANCER: If you’ve been traveling through a glass darkly as many sensitives have lately, surrendering your mind-clench on certain issues makes it easier to address core issues rather than letting them stew. Defriending and refriending constitute this week’s business as differences in friendship and group agendas are highlighted.
I LEO: If you’ve had more questions than answers lately, good – you may have to ask even more this week to find out what you need to. As family dynamics escalate, people’s confidence in you brings out your best, so spend time with others on your wavelength. J VIRGO: As your ruler Mercury turning direct reignites stalled communications, ideas take on new life and your business intuition’s spot on. But proposals still need close scrutiny and you may have to stand your ground against persuasive manipulators. Be prepared to let something go and start over. K LIBRA: With your ruling planet Venus in practical, professional Capricorn, addressing nagging concerns that have been bothering you will pay off this week. You’ll get best results by weighting your scales in favour of executive over speculative, cautious over talkative, realistic over optimistic, and disciplined over indulgent. L SCORPIO: It’s never comfortable being confronted with the underbelly of existence, not to mention our own delusions, but it’s a necessary part of the spiritual growth cycle. As Mercury moves forward in your sign this week, quantum shifts from the recent Mercury Rx cycle become more user friendly

EUROBEAT TAKES ON BALLINA! Eurobeat, Ballina Players’ wickedly funny send-up of the Eurovision Song Contest, opens this Friday night. An essential part of the Eurobeat experience is audience participation. Patrons will find themselves in a ‘real’ Eurovision contest in Sarajevo. They will be assigned a country on arrival. Then they will cheer patriotically and vote enthusiastically to decide a victor from the twelve countries performing. Throw yourself into the silly spirit of the show and it will be impossible not to enjoy the result. At the centre of the show are the songs, which are clever parodies of familiar styles of Eurovision acts and of national foibles. They are a mix of unlikely music, overstated themes, strange lyrics, odd choreography and amusing overacting. Players Theatre in Ballina from Friday to Saturday, with shows at 8pm and Sunday matinee at 2pm. Tickets are available at Just Funkin Music, 124 River Street, phone 6686 2440.

CHESS
by Ian Rogers Play at Byron Services Club, Mon 7pm An incredible 8,000 people attended the opening ceremony in Chennai’s Nehru Indoor Stadium for the World Championship match between Vishwanathan Anand and Magnus Carlsen. The event on Thursday was a two hour marathon of speeches, gift-giving and music and dance, Indian and Norwegian, presided over by the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Jayalalithaa – a veteran politician and ex-film star who spent $6m of the State’s money bringing the World Championship to Chennai. After the opening, while Anand stayed around to feature
in selfies taken by a dozen lucky fans, Carlsen escaped the throng and returned to his hotel to put the final touches on his match preparation. Playing in India was thought to be a potential disadvantage for Anand given his high profile, but the World Champion looks more relaxed than he has before any previous title match. If Anand loses the title he has held since 2007 – as most pundits predict is likely – he seems determined to enjoy his final period in the spotlight. The million dollar prize for the loser will help ease the pain as well. Follow the action daily from 8.30pm at chennai2013.fide.com (match ends November 28).

M SAGITTARIUS: Our mindset’s self-fulfilling, because we tend to get what we anticipate as life strives to meet our expectations. You can expect good news midweek that emphasises the power of choice, especially how you choose to respond or react to the experiences this week presents you with. N CAPRICORN: This week suggests you stop trying to do everything on your own and work with others. Support’s available, though possibly not from where you expected. If strong feelings erupt, master any impulses to lash out or make rash moves because, really, is that the way a leader behaves? O AQUARIUS: Mercury’s turnaround could trigger an influx of information that hadn’t been getting through. Or something you weren’t acknowledging to yourself: an unexpected revelation exploding into an aha! moment. So simple, so obvious, how could you not have seen it? Because you weren’t ready to, and you are now. P P ISCES: The importance of a strong, solid foundation becomes apparent this week as friendships and commitments come up against make-or-break stresses. While diligence, patience and discipline mightn’t be your favourite styles, they can organise your creative impulses into an accessible reservoir of structure and clarity.

MYSTERY ROAD
>>>cinemareview<<< review
Ivan Senâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new film is set somewhere in the unlovely, unromantic outback, where the car numberplates have no identifying state initials â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this is the lost Australia of neglect, disadvantage and wasteful lethargy. Son of a stockman, detective Jay Swan (Aaron Pedersen) returns to his unnamed hometown, where the body of an Indigenous teenage girl has been found out where the big rigs rumble through the desert â&#x20AC;&#x201C; her throat slit. The sergeant at the local police station (Tony Barry) is apathetic, prepared to take only the most rudimentary investigative measures. But a story that
might follow the familiar lines established by In The Heat Of The Night (1967) veers away from the classic (and now standard) Poitier versus Steiger racial dichotomy and instead takes us with Jay as he navigates a divided cultural landscape as an unwelcome outsider. To his dismay, he discovers that his own daughter, Crystal, living with Jayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ex (Tasma Walton), was a close friend of the murdered girl and that she, in all likelihood, was moving in the same shadowy, drugnumbed world. Other coppers are most likely bent, with Hugo Weavingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shady detective running his own race. The
Baileys (David Field and Ryan Kwanten) own the big cattle station and are hostile redneck roo-shooters. Sen films it without any affectation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but for some beautiful aerial shots, the camera is stationary at all times, getting in tight for numerous character close-ups, and is never hand held, while music is kept to a bare minimum, allowing the soundscape to contribute enormously to the atmospherics (as it should more often). Performances are excellent â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Pedersen is especially good as a man becoming exposed to unpalatable truths. Perhaps in keeping with the title, the script is only partially failed by
a lack of cohesion â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or binding glue â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that results in its many disparate components never quite falling into one piece. Ultimately, there is some crucial information not imparted, because probably of an imprecise edit â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Sen might have been advised to not attempt absolutely everything himself. Otherwise fab. ~ John Campbell
on this occasion should not have come as a surprise, for nine times out of ten in anything based on a Marvel comic my eyes glaze over and
my brain wanders as soon as the bad guys are identified. As usual, the back-story tells of a humungous clash between good and evil in the heroic past. Darkness was vanquished, but the villain saved himself and the mysterious black â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;etherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, which he would use again to pursue his dastardly schemes. Then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got Thor (Chris Hemsworth) smiting what look like troglodytes in a swashbucklingly violent but bloodless battle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and this is an anomaly typical of the genre; Thor and his mob can zap through eons of space, but when it comes to armed combat they are still reduced to spears and swords and bows and arrows. In the introductory
stink, Hemsworth (by God, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the lucky maiden whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll bed him, I wondered) brings proceedings to a close when he slays a giant using Davidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old trick of slinging a stone into the bruteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Why didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we just do that in the first place?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; some wag in the ranks calls out â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which is exactly what the exhausted viewer might ask at the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end (oh, bitter irony). Everybody celebrates at the futuristic gothic castle, eating venison with their hands whilst balancing a couple of pretty wenches on their knees. Cut to a restaurant in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s London, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) with a dag who has no chance of keeping the gorgeous heroine out of
Chrisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arms. There are heaps of punters who love this sort of thing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; why else spend $150 million making it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but alas, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not one of them. Admittedly,
the rest is the black silence of weightless space. The vacuum is punctuated by the banter of US astronauts working to repair damage to one of the countless telecommunications nodules that orbit the planet. Ryan (Sandra Bullock) is a novice, but Matt (George Clooney) is an old hand. Gradually they come into view and just as their mission seems as banal as taking out the wheelie-bin, Ground Control (voiced by Ed Harris in a nod to Ron Howardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Apollo 13) commands â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;abort!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; A distant explosion has sent debris hurtling their way. Irreparable damage is done to their base, so they must travel across space to a Russian station. The tension led me at one point to involuntarily hold my breath
in suspense, and the special effects are overwhelming â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the tear floating off Ryanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face is a jewel. Clooney, who has mastered debonair humility, even in a NASA bubble suit, isâ&#x20AC;Ś well, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s George Clooney and we love him for it, but Bullock, as the central character, carries the weight of the message. Her performance is stunning, from the moment she is set adrift to when she drags herself ashore in the quasi-religious finale, re-born from the egg of her capsule. To understand that, even with our ever-multiplying apps and gizmos, we are no different from prehistoric amphibians is a profound and liberating irony. Fantastic. ~ John Campbell

it was fun to see that old limelighter Anthony Hopkins hamming it up as Odin, with a metal eye patch, no less. ~ John Campbell
GRAVITY Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an age since Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen a movie as different as this. Longer since Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen one that, if only briefly, helped me look at the world through clearer eyes. Mexican filmmaker Alfonso CuarĂłn already has a distinguished CV (including a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Harry Potterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;), but with a script co-written by son JonĂĄs, he gives the impression here that he is fulfilling a personal ambition. Naysayers might argue that it is merely another tale of triumphalism against the oddsâ&#x20AC;Ś but sometimes our voguish cynicism can be our own worst enemy. The (courageously) longheld opening shot sets a spellbinding tone. A curved segment of blue-shrouded Earth covers part of the screen,

JERRY COOK
BRUCE PRINGLE IS A BLACKSMITH AND METAL ARTIST BASED IN HOBART, TASMANIA AND BYRON BAY, NEW SOUTH WALES. His career as an artist began in 1971 in South Africa, and Bruce now resides in Byron Bay and Hobart. As a sculptor, Bruce abandons formal constraints, seeking to express his delight in and reverence for nature and the human form. Through the ancient techniques of blacksmithing, Bruce explores the alchemy of hand, metal and fire. His work is contemporary in design while imparting a sense of ritual. Works present the texture, strength and colour

of stone, bronze and steel in graceful and fluid lines described as three dimensional calligraphic essays. His functional pieces have a strong sculptural feel, with designs inspired by personal mythologies. The stainless steel range of utensils reflects the sophistication of the contemporary world while maintaining a sense of whimsy in design. A fascination with ancient metal ornamentation such as the clasp mechanisms of Celtic kilt pins and annular and penannular cloak clasps has influenced jewellery design. These pieces, forged on a small scale, are objects traditionally giving strength to the wearer. Bruce’s work has been described as music in metal, with each piece bearing testimony to his skill in combining art with craft in strong and elegant design He specialises in traditional forged decorative iron, iron jewellery, stainless steel utensils, knives, bronze casting and sculpture for both exhibition and commission. His work has gained international recognition over the last 30 years and he continues to pursue higher levels of excellence in the blacksmithing and sculpture fields. Bruce is widely recognised as one of Tasmania’s and Australia’s leading artistic blacksmiths and metal sculptors. Bruce Pringle is the proprietor of Hammer and Hand, a metal workers collective in Tasmania’s Salamanca Arts Centre and Byron Bay’s Arts & Industry Estate.

Hilary Herrmann’s solo show at Art Piece Gallery opens on Thursday 28 November with a sit-down dinner catered for by La Table. Hilary works with fleeting thoughts and emotions whose basis lie in vulnerability and sensitivity. Concerned that our busy lives often leave us disconnected and isolated, she expresses the innocent longing to reach out, to touch and be touched. From character to character, from artist to viewer, the offerings come with disharming generosity. The arm is outstretched, the gaze direct. Hilary doesn’t shy away from re-affirming the simple message: love, kindness, generosity heal all. When asked to elaborate, she can only say; ‘There is enough that is sad with the world, I want the paintings to bring people joy’. Call the gallery on 6684 3446 to reserve a place at Hilary’s table and meet this much loved and compassionate artist.
LISMORE REGIONAL GALLERY A SURVEY EXHIBITION: Pam Tippett’s still-life paintings depicting isolated domestic objects in staged interiors are striking in their accuracy.

Goulburn Regional Art Gallery is supported by the NSW government through Arts NSW. Pam Tippett is represented by Australian Galleries. A Goulburn Regional Art Gallery Touring Exhibition.

THE COLOUR THAT CHANGED THE WORLD INDIGO CLASSES IN BYRON BAY. Susan Fell Mclean, internationally recognised local artist from Mullumbimby, whose work has been shown in many international exhibitions, is inspired by indigo dye. ‘When combined with the amazing art form of shibori,’ Susan says, ‘ such beauty can be created’. ‘Shibori is the Japanese word for folding, pleating, wrapping, stitching and binding fabric to resist dye.

Pizza Bar Byron
Think Raventos Cava Rose from the rolling hills of Penedes in Spain; united with layers of tuna, avocado and miso butter, the Tobiko giving crunch and Cava zing, together they dance on the palate. Or Pennyweight â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;La Serenaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Apera (Sherry) poured from the barrel served with seared scallops, buttery leeks, cauliflower puree, smoked tomato and port wine, the Aperaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nutty yet sweet nature complementing the rich yet delicate nature of the dish. The Channing Daughters â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Tocai Friulanoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, direct from Long Island, New York sings a song of its own and hits every note on the palate when the creaminess of spanner crab chowder is accentuated by the wineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s buttery yet fruit driven characters. You could say that the new wine list is not really

OCUS
a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;listâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; at all, but more of a story, cooked by chefs and sung by sommeliers, that twists and turns while traversing every continent of the world. This â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;listâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; has been redesigned and injected with a poetic playfulness; more an Indiana Jones adventure than a textbook English lesson. Kabir Antoniak is the head sommelier and author of this new, unique tome. Kabir cut his teeth working in some of Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finest dining institutions such as Aria, Rockpool and Esquire. He has been privileged to work beside some of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finest sommeliers, each with their own unique personality and technique, but most importantly he lives, loves and works within our region. Kabir is backed up by three sommeliers, each ready to lead you on the wine road less travelled. Be transported to a different place and setting, and celebrate with a wine from the steep terraces of Douro Valley in Portugal, which by necessity can only be tended by horse and hand. Interestingly, this is the site of the oldest grape vines in the world.
From 5pm full restaurant open serving pizza, pastas, salads and more along with our bar serving beer, wine and cocktails

With more than 100 new wines on the list and 430 plus bottles to choose from, the wine list at Fins is big, boisterous and loads of fun. As always, the marriage between food and wine is of utmost importance, and each bottle is hand selected to complement Steven Snowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s colourful cuisine.
From midday daily Pizza Bar is serving casual street lunches, pizza, calzone and salads.

HOW ABOUT A GLASS of sherry from the barrel, a white wine from New York, or a glass of GrĂźner Veltliner from a World Heritage site in Austria? All this and more is possible by embarking on the journey through the wine list at Fins Restaurant, Kingscliff.

We use this decanter for certain special bottles of wine or at the request of the client. When a wine is first bottled the molecules become tight and a denaturalisation process is created within the bottle. Ovarius uses kinetic energy to relax these molecules and opens the confined wine, thus showing its true grace and beauty. I use Ovarius mainly for white wine, champagne and some red wine. Most people drink their wine too cold; this decanter slowly opens the wine. The results are remarkableâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

by David Frankel (The Devil Wears Prada, Hope Springs). Closing the festival is Philomena, which was just awarded Best Screenplay at the Venice Film Festival, and is directed by Stephen Frears and stars Judi Dench and Steve Coogan. In 1999, the British Film Institute surveyed 1,000 people from the world of British film and television to produce the BFI 100 list of the greatest British films of the 20th century. The festival will screen the top five of those films: The Third Man (1949), directed by Carol Reed; Alfred Hitchcockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The
39 Steps (1935); Brief Encounter (1945), Lawrence Of Arabia (1962), and Great Expectations (1946), all directed by David Lean. Other festival highlights include comedy/drama Dom Hemingway starring Jude Law and Richard E Grant; Good Vibrations, based on the true story of charismatic optimist Terri Hooley who opened a record store in Bomb Alley, Belfast, during the Troubles; and the Australian premiere of The Full Monty producer Uberto Pasoliniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beautifully observed and haunting Still Life. The film scooped up four prizes at the recent Venice Film Festival (Horizons section), including Best Director and the Art Cinema Prize for Best Film. Australian actor Eric Bana stars in the gripping political thriller Closed Circuit exploring conspiracy, terrorism and privacy in the modern age. Program details and tickets available at Palace Byron Bay Cinema or online at www.palacecinemas.com.au.

The Mullumbimby Community Art Gallery is presenting â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;50 Shades Of Shungaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, an â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Xâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;hibition of traditional Japanese erotic art by Mal Gotjes, works hand painted on fine clay. The exhibition opens on November 14 at 5pm in the Drill Hall complex, Mullumbimby. Malâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fascination with this genre has led him to draw on his skills as a ceramicist and
portrait painter to create this exhibition, which will run until November 28. The gallery is open Tuesdays, Thursdays and on Mullum market days from 10am to 4pm. Further information is at www.mcag. com.au. Note: The gallery committee advises that this is an X-rated display, not recommended for children under 18 years of age.
Artist crowdfunds book Catherine Somers is an artist living near Byron Bay, and has written and illustrated The Magic of Now childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book over the past ten years. She is now seeking to crowdfund production of the book at www.pozible.com/magicofnow. Catherine says, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Magic of Now is a 32-page-colour, 800-word, rhyming picture book for children â&#x20AC;&#x201C; boys and girls aged 4-8 years of age. Its intention is to support children to continue to believe in their uniqueness, in the present moment. Plus it reminds adults to return to the present moment, and self-belief, from past and future fears and unhelpful imaginings. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Magic of Now is about how living your dreams in each moment can make your whole world magical. The story is about a world in perfect balance. There are two kinds of creatures and both are obsessed with hairdos. One tribe has no hair (The Unhairies), but they do have wings. The other tribe has fabulous hairdos (The Hairies), each hairdo being a unique expression of themselves. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Mary, our â&#x20AC;&#x153;hairoineâ&#x20AC;?, is born different, with wings and hair. When she is rejected by her tribe of birth â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Unhairies â&#x20AC;&#x201C; she goes on an adventure and
discovers her creative tribe â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Hairies. Crisis strikes and it is her unique difference â&#x20AC;&#x201C; her hairdo and her wings â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that enables her to save the day.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The Magic of Now will be launched online in March 2014. The book will be sold through all major online marketplaces, such as Fishpond, Amazon, Bookworld and Booktopia. Crowdfunding rewards, which include the book and some unique products and experiences, will also be available from March 2014. Catherine says that during the last ten years she has followed her heart and become an artist and creator of magical things â&#x20AC;&#x201C; first hemp clothing, then paintings and magical gifts; and now this book. Prior to this, Catherine worked for 20 years in the corporate world, in Australia and the UK. Her main interest was in developing leadership and communications. Her passion is to support leaders and organisations to live their brand values. The Magic of Now is the creation dearest to her heart. This story represents what Catherine believes in most: if we each live true true to our own uniqueness, and then collaborate, anything is possible.

Will’s a state champion at discus Byron artists do well in Brizzy
Local athlete Will Smith has plenty to smile about after his personal best and gold medal wins at a recent sports carnival. Twelve-year-old Will, who along with 11 other Ocean Shores Public School stu-
dents achieved a PB, had a great carnival. Will scored a fourth place in the state in his division – AWD (Athletes with Disabilities) senior boys category, in the shot-put then went on to deliver the goods.
The year six student won gold in the discus at the event held mid-October and is now the state discus champion. This has qualified Will to attend the national championships in Brisbane. Photo Eve Jeffery.
Recently three local Jiu Jitsu artists from Byron Bay went to compete in the Brisbane Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Championships. Bringing home three gold medals and one silver was a fantastic effort for the Gracie Elite artists. Entering both Gi and no Gi for his weight division, Adam Cavanaugh, seated, came away with double gold. His fights were long and gruelling but after avoiding many submission attempts, he was able to turn the tables by dominating or tapping each of his opponents. In a heavily stacked blue belt division, James Tingely brought back silver and Sara Briggs had a huge last-minute weight cut, using every ounce of will power to sweat out the remaining kilo, even having to lose an extra kilo just moments before she was called to the mats. Fortunately she made weight and won gold. In the finals she submitted her opponent in 53 seconds.

Don’t drink and drown at schoolies With schoolies celebrations set to kick off across NSW and southern Queensland from this weekend, surf life savers and life guards are pleading with young revellers to make surf safety a priority. A recent report has found that almost a third of all drowning deaths in NSW resulted from people swimming after drinking alcohol, with 15–24 year olds the most at risk. With young schoolies often mixing alcohol with their celebrations, Lifeguards and Byron Council are worried about the possibility of a preventable tragedy occurring if teenagers take unnecessary risks in the ocean. During the two-week schoolies peak period from November 18 the Australian Lifeguard Service will be deploying an extra lifeguard to deal with the influx of beachgoers at schoolies hot spot, Main Beach in Byron Bay. Scott McCartney, northern NSW lifeguard coordinator, says lifeguards are going above and beyond this year and will be running daily surf safety talks, conducting roving patrols and focusing on emphasising safe swimming practices along Byron Main Beach for the entirety
of the schoolies period. ‘It’s important to have a safe and enjoyable time at schoolies’, said Mr McCartney. ‘Never mix drugs or alcohol with swimming, don’t swim at night, always swim between the red and yellow flags, and if you need assistance don’t hesitate to approach the lifeguards.’ Lifeguards and lifesavers will be out reinforcing the ‘Don’t Drink and Swim’ safety message in the key holiday hotspots up and down the NSW coast including Byron Bay, Coffs Harbour and Merimbula. The Schoolies Safety Checklist is: Only swim at a patrolled beach, between the red and yellow flags; Don’t swim under the influence of alcohol/drugs; Never swim at night; Ask a surf lifes aver or lifeguard for advice; Look after your mates; Call ‘000 – Police’ to report an in-water emergency. A Beachsafe iPhone app has been created to bring together numerous data sources and databases managed by SLSA. Go to www.beachsafe. org.au for info on patrolled beaches, hours of operation, beach status and conditions.

Apartments V Houses
WHICH IS BETTER?
With the growing need for medium density housing and the increasing popularity of apartments, First National Real Estate chief executive Ray Ellis takes a look at the pros and cons of both living options. ‘Experts are saying apartment living is soon set to outpace the Great Australian Dream of the quarter acre block,’ Mr Ellis said. ‘While affordability and ongoing low supply are the main driving factors behind this trend, there are other considerations that come into play as well. More women in the workforce, longer working hours and a sizeable shift in demographics, are all forces to be reckoned with when considering lifestyle options for today and into the future.’ According to Mr Ellis, the ‘apartment generation’ will age and their family situations and lifestyle preferences will change, but traditional housing will remain a viable choice for Australians for many years to come. ‘The choice of whether to live in an apartment or a house, comam 1.30 11-1 y a rd Satu

plete with a yard, will come down to whether you are looking to live in a property or to rent. Then it is about you or your tenants’ lifecycle stages and financial means. ‘The baby boomer generation are holding onto their homes longer at the moment, but eventually they will need to either downsize or seek other forms of retirement and aged-care living, freeing up their homes for future generations. ‘However, it may be a case that by then the “apartment generation” will be used to living in apartments and even though they are ready to raise a family, they believe they can do so in the more affordable apartment option. Not to mention the fact that their weekends will be free of mowing lawns, fixing fences or gardening. ‘On the other hand, they may still see a strong need for having a yard where their children can run around, or a house that offers greater space in general.’ Mr Ellis says investors also need to be considered when looking at apartments versus houses.
‘People looking to invest need to consider where the greatest returns on their capital will come from,’ Mr Ellis said. ‘They will take into account short-term yields and returns as well as long-term capital gains and growth, and both apartments and houses have much to offer here. ‘Plus, much will depend on what local, state and federal governments do in terms of policy and regulations. ‘Currently, there is a long list of higher-density governance issues which need to be resolved, such as assistance programs for emergency and disaster victims, initiatives for environmental programs, insurance packages and environmentally sustainable design principles, to name a few. ‘But whether you choose a house or an apartment, to live in or as an investment, it is important to get the right advice about the area from locals with knowledge and experience. Houses and apartments are both viable depending on personal preferences and individual circumstances. The final choice needs to deliver the right results and outcomes for the buyer.’
Housing supply data crucial: REIA Real Estate Institute of Australia (REIA) president Peter Bushby says the decision to abolish the National Housing Supply Council could signal the end to much needed data to formulate housing policy. The National Housing Supply Council was established in 2008 to monitor housing demand, supply and affordability in Australia and to identify gaps between housing supply and demand. ‘With housing affordability recognised as a policy priority, it is imperative that the information contained in the Council’s State of Supply Report continues to be available,’ according to Mr Bushby. ‘The document provided valuable information, not only to government policy makers but also to industry.’
Mr Bushby says the availability of affordable housing is a goal that is shared by governments and all sectors of the community. Availability of affordable housing impacts on the functioning of the economy as well as the wellbeing of individuals and the cohesiveness of communities and society. One of the factors that contributes to increases in house prices is the undersupply of housing. Supply has been unable to keep pace with demand due to constraints on land availability, lengthy planning delays and associated costs of approvals, zoning policies, skill shortages and lower yields stemming from the increased cost of entering the property investment market. REIA has called for the federal government to develop a coordinated and strategic approach to the provision of housing and ensure that complementary policies, covering among other things first home buyers and taxation, are in in place to achieve this.

Each week, when space allows, we are happy to print between 700 and 1,000 words of community announcements in our ‘Pin This Up’ section. Those who submit material could help us by observing the following points. Yes, as it says each week, the deadline really is midday on Fridays, as it is with letters to the editor. Latecomers may miss out. Keep it short – two sentences are plenty. Don’t put words in CAPITALS and don’t include line breaks in your text – you’re not producing a poster. And for the few who actually forget, remember to include the date, time and venue for your non-profit event. Q Q Q Q

The dedicated and resourceful lobby group Animals Australia (www.animalsaustralia. org) keeps uncovering examples of animal abuse in situations where our official livestock inspectors seem slow to intervene. The latest involves the dreadful treatment of Australian bulls shipped to Mauritius. The animal export industry has inflicted a lot of suffering, intentional or otherwise, on animals over the years, yet recent federal governments have emphasised the economic benefits over the welfare drawbacks. Reminds us of slavery; proponents said that could never end, too, and fought a civil war over it. This photo is one of the least disturbing images from AA’s media site.

On Remembrance Day (Monday November 11) this year the library will for the first time release the names of these diarists with the hope descendants will come forward and help add information to the individual stories.

Is your child’s Small School at risk? Our detractors sometimes accuse us of making them read shit. That is a metaphor, but for readers of some newspapers it may become true. Poopoopaper produces paper products made from the poop of a variety of different fibre-eating vegetarian animals such as elephants, cows, horses, moose, pandas, and donkeys.
