Legal costs pursued

More than $100,000 of public money looks set to be spent chasing legal costs from anti-fluoride campaigner and north coast resident Al Oshlack. At a closed-doors meeting last week, the region’s water authority, Rous County Council (RCC), voted to spend the money to investigate the ‘seeking of legal costs’ incurred in the Land and Environment Court (LEC), awarded against Mr Oshlack. And supporting the contentious move is Byron Shire councillor Di Woods, who is also the new deputy chair of Rous. She told The Echo, ‘I acknowledge Mr Oshlack’s wish to pursue Rous over the issue of fluoride, but it was his decision and he knew full well that it was a win or lose situation which would incur costs. It was not Rous who initiated the legal action.’ The decision comes just weeks after Byron Council rejected fluoride for the shire, despite a motion spearheaded by Cr Woods. Byron Council previously rejected fluoride in 2006. ‘Rous is a public water authority and all ratepayers have to pay for the privilege of having good potable water,’ said Cr Woods. ‘We are supplied with this at great expense, and it is not in the best interest of the community now to expect all ratepayers to be responsible for Mr Oshlack’s rather large legal costs. If Mr Oshlack had wanted ratepayers to help pay for the case, then he could have initiated a class action instead of choosing to do it on his

own. Therefore, in my view, the consequences and costs of the action are his choice and responsibility, not Rous, and not the ratepayers of our community.’

Not a criminal But fellow Rous board member and Lismore City Council’s Cr Vanessa Ekins has blasted the decision as a ‘foolish waste of money’. She told The Echo, ‘Mr Oshlack is not a criminal and should not be hunted because he represented his community. Before going to the Land and Environment Court, I moved that we consent to orders which means that we don’t actively defend the court case but let the court case happen,’ Cr Ekins said. ‘A public-spirited citizen took Rous to court to say that we didn’t go through the right process. He argued that councillors were told they would be personally liable if they did not support the decision to fluoridate. ‘This is a foolish waste of money for Rous to pursue these costs,’ Cr Ekins said. ‘I have argued they won’t get any back,’ she said. ‘Rous has more important issues to be spending funds on’, Cr Ekins added. Cr Duncan Dey, who is also on the board of Rous, agrees any money will be hard to recover. He told The Echo the members who voted in favour appear ‘hell bent’ on punishing Mr Oshlack as a ‘vexatious litigant.’ ‘The money would be better spent on improving the long waiting lists for children’s dental appointments,’ he said.

A permaculture Christmas party was held last week at the Mullum Community Gardens to celebrate Mums and Bubs permaculture classes. The classes were a result of the mums themselves asking for expert advice in permaculture. Pictured is newborn Clover with mum Beck, along with Siray and Miles. Photo Jeff Dawson

Byron lags behind in latest grant funding Significant grant money that rolled out from the state government last week has yet again largely excluded Byron Shire. Byron Bay resident and NSW minister for north coast, Don Page, announced the grants on Friday, which he claims will see $6.5 million injected into north coast Crown reserves. In Ballina, where Mr Page’s office is located, $100,000 has been allocated for the construction of a coastal recreation pathway along the Ballina Shire coast which will connect beaches and townships in that shire. And while much of the money is part of normal funding for Crown parks management, Mr Page told

The Echo the allocation for the Ballina electorate – which includes Byron Shire – has more than doubled, with an increase of $92,876 this year. In a joint statement with Mr Page, deputy premier Andrew Stoner said the Public Reserves Management Fund (PRMF) had increased by more than $6 million this year.

Only three Byron Shire applications So why so little for Byron Shire? Mr Page says that there were only three applicants, two of which were successful. ‘One was a $40,000 grant to the Mullumbimby Showground Trust for the repair of electrical in-

frastructure at the showground.’ ‘The other was $12,091 for the Brunswick Girl Guides Reserve Trust for the renovation of the existing kitchen, including installation of new cupboards and painting of the internal walls at the hall. ‘There was only one unsuccessful application in the Byron Shire, and it was from the Byron Coast Reserve for weed control. I’m advised their application was unsuccessful because they have sufficient funds to cover this project.’ According to www.lpma.nsw. gov.au, managers of any public reserve may be eligible to apply, but preference will be given to those on Crown land.

shines on AIDS Chris Dobney

Byron Shire Lighthouse was illuminated red over the weekend to commemorate World AIDS Day and to highlight a new plan to end HIV in Australia by 2020. While it is more than 30 years since the first diagnosis of HIV in Australia, we are getting closer to ending the epidemic, says event organiser Franklin John-Leader. He says while there has recently been a spike in infections, there is now the opportunity to knock the disease out altogether with a new, three-point strategy: test often, treat early and stay safe. To find out more, visit www.endinghiv.org.au.

In celebration and as a farewell to artistic director Simon Adams, Spaghetti Circus will present their show Space on December 6 and 7 at the Mullumbimby Showgrounds. Originally the show was created for the recent Mullum Circus Festival. Circus founder Leonie Mills says Simon first joined Spaghetti in 2004 after she took a step back from the helm. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We are very thankful to Simon for leading the company to new heights and exciting directions,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; she says.

Parking restrictions in motion for Byronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NYE Plans for a safe and familyfriendly New Years Eve in Byron Bay have been dealt a blow after Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) withdrew permission for roadblocks at entry points to the town. Yet despite the refusal, Byron Shire Council will push ahead with its plans, which includes $5 all-day parking at the Byron Regional Sport and Cultural Complex on Ewingsdale Road and regular shuttle buses into town.

Council has also declared Byron Bay as a 2P Special Event Parking Area (SEPA) from December 26 until January 6. Council say this means that east of Belongil Bridge to south of Red Devils and everywhere in between, a two-hour parking limit will be in effect. Residents with a valid resident parking coupon will be exempt and two coupon passes will be provided free per household. A $236 on the spot fine

will apply to those whoÂ overstay the 2P special-events parking and vehicles must be moved from that area altogether. Meanwhile new years celebrations have moved from the beach to Jonson Street. Presented by the Byron Community Centre, families are encouraged to take part from 2pm. The alcohol-free event includes face painting, a silent disco, jugglers, theatrical performers, artisan stalls, food

stalls, craft activities, jumping castles, buskers, circus performers and several local bands in Railway Park with fire twirlers, drummers and amusement rides. Additionally, Greens mayor Simon Richardson is calling on more police to be rostered on to man the roads leading into Byron, and will be meeting with them this week.

The regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disused railways will now be evaluated for a railtrail after global engineering consultant corporation Arup was awarded the tender. Arupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website claims the company â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;first came to the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention with the structural design of the Sydney Opera House, followed by its work on the Centre Pompidou in Paris.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; It comes as members of Northern Rivers Rail Trail Inc

(NRRT) toured the rail corridor with Rail Trails Australia vice-president Steven Kaye recently to gauge the project. Chairman of the NRRT, Pat Grier, says that converting the 132km disused railway between Casino and Murwillumbah into a walking and cycling track will benefit communities throughout the northern rivers, and will â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;will spread economic growth throughout the whole northern rivers region.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

A new bus service will be running every Friday and Saturday from 11pm until 3.30am, looping Byron Bay between Sunrise and Suffolk Park. While itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a free service, a gold coin is appreciated. All funds will help support the cost of the shuttle service. It will run every 30 minutes from Suffolk Park and 20 minutes from Sunrise. In Sunrise you can catch the bus at the bus stops at Ozigo, Julian Rocks Drive and Van Vil-

lage. In Suffolk Park, it stops at the corner of Alcorn and Clifford Streets, opposite the Park Hotel. The late-night bus has been co-ordinated by Byron Shire Council with funding from the department of NSW attorney general and justice. NSW Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) have also contributed funds. Timetable posters are throughout town and a wallet-size timetable is also available.

Local News Mullum hit by animal poisonings Residents in Stuart Street Mullumbimby are concerned about a spate of apparent animal poisonings in the area and are worried that family pets or even children might be in danger. One resident’s labradoodle has had a lucky escape but is still recovering after a visit to the vet; however, another family has lost their pet dog which appeared perfectly healthy, but then died within the space of half an hour. The dead animals began to appear three weeks ago with a large group of currawongs, a protected native species of bird, dying in numbers, as well as other birds including pigeons and magpie-larks. Tweed-Byron Local Area Command Inspector Darren Steele confirmed that police are investigating but so far were unable to find any baits. The penalty for killing wildlife by poison is $11,000 and or six months of imprisonment per offence.

Police Association backs Last Drinks at 12 plan The NSW Police Association is supporting a campaign by local community group Last Drinks at 12 to have the Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority (ILGA) intervene before Christmas to try to prevent the anticipated escalation in alcohol-related violence in Byron Bay. Specifically, the group is asking the head of ILGA, Mr Chris Sidoti, to recommend the establishment of a Precinct

Liquor Accord (PLA), which would impose stricter conditions on licensed premises.

Latest BOCSAR figures out It comes as Byron’s Cheeky Monkeys and Lismore’s Cocktails Bar were named by NSW minister for hospitality George Souris as equal third most violent venues in NSW last Friday.

Ar T

Citing Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research (BOCSAR) data for the 2012/13, Mr Souris says the venues ‘will face a range of tough operating conditions’. As 16 violent incidents were reported in the past 12 months, both Cheeky Monkeys and Cocktails Bar and Niteclub are classified as ‘Level 2 venues’ (12 to 18 violent incidents in a year). Restrictions that will apply to both venues in-

clude ceasing alcohol service 30 minutes before closing, no glass or breakable containers after midnight, alcohol timeouts or the provision of free water and food for ten minutes every hour after midnight, and a requirement to maintain a detailed incident register whenever trading. By far the most violent venue in the state according to BOCSAR is Ivy, located in Sydney city, with 26 incidents last year.

Local News Byron businesses win big at NSW Tourism Awards

Yelgunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CSG-free survey at 99 per cent The Yelgun community held their CSG-free declaration celebration on Sunday November 24 and have reported, like other Byron Shire areas, a high percentage of those opposed to coal seam gas (CSG) mining. CSG-free co-ordinator Aletha Zylstra told The Echo, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Our surveys returned a 99.7 per cent â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;? vote.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The gathering was held in a central location overlooking the valley and out to sea. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;It was a gorgeous afternoon with lots of laughter and good food to share. The celebration was very informal with more of the feeling of a large family gathering than a political statement. But then, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what this movement is all about. It speaks to our basic needs and rights for clean air,

soil and water. It affirms the power of uniting across political or social divides to protect what we have in common. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We rounded our final percentage figure down to 99 as three people had moved into the valley after the survey process was complete. They were unofficially surveyed

and all were opposed to CSG in our area. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We people of Yelgun have had to fight to protect our quiet corner of the world in the past and we already know that friendship and strength come from community unity. We love our area and will continue work to protect it.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

State government again threatens population with gas shortages The second press release in as many months from NSW energy minister Chris Hartcher has once again warned of the dangers of not allowing more natural gas drilling in the state. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reignited the protectionist versus free trade debate, leaving the obvious question: will the federal government intervene and protect Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s domestic gas supply? Recently it did similarly by refusing a US takeover bid of Graincorp, an Australian-owned corporation. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a question NSW Greens MP Jeremy Buckingham is asking â&#x20AC;&#x201C; again â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and he said in a statement, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The rush to export huge amounts of liquid natural gas (LNG) is severely distorting the east coast gas market and the only sensible response is for the [federal] government to regulate the industry to ensure domestic supply.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The fossil fuel industry, along with the state Liberal and Nationals government, have re-

peatedly claimed that as NSW only produces five per cent of its gas supplies, a shortage will occur after interstate gas arrangements end and exports move to the overseas market. Mr Hartcher last week seized on a report by the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;future gas availability was inadequate without new local supply.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; And while Mr Hartcher claims AEMO is an independent body, its website claims it, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;plays an important role in supporting the industry.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not only the Greens that espouse protectionist arguments for energy security; The Australian (News Ltd) reported last week that former Liberal leader John Hewson said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the US always had a national energy strategy to keep domestic costs low.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Mr Buckingham added, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The United States only allows gas exports after it has been proved that there is not a domestic market

Local News Arts Trail brochure launched Japanese acupuncture for kids comes to north coast

The artists of Byron Bay’s Arts and Industry Estate have just released their new Arts Trail brochure. It features ten working studios, and residents and visitors are invited to experience firsthand the creative process. All the studios will work together on Friday December 6 and hold their Open Studio Night from 5pm with a party

atmosphere and bargains for Christmas. You can pick up a copy of the Arts Trail Guide at the visitors centre in Byron Bay, or at any of the participating galleries: Byron Art Vault, Cosmosis Gallery, First Light Studio, Hammer and Hand, Jules Hunt Gallery, Out There, Seed Art Collective, Still @ the centre, The Stonery and Wet Paint Art Gallery.

Carols return to Mullumbimby The Mullumbimby Carols by Candlelight is on again this year at the Mullumbimby Hospital grounds. Sponsored by the Mullumbimby Chamber of Commerce, the Carols by Candlelight will kick off December 15 at 6.30pm and features local artists and a special guest from the North Pole. Co-organiser Margaret Hatch says, ‘The Carols by Candlelight brings the community together, creating a happy place and a joyous vibe.’ The Chamber of Commerce will be providing candles and water on the night, ensuring the night is a free event for all. Co-organiser Jenelle Stanford recommends people coming to the Carols bring their family, a blanket to sit on, and a smile. ‘As a child I looked forward to the Carols by Candlelight every year, so it’s a great feeling to have it back on the Mullumbimby calendar,’ Jenelle said. In the event of wet weather, the Carols by Candlelight will

be held at the Mullumbimby High School Hall. Meanwhile, chamber secretary Obi McDonaldSaint says the organisation wrapped up the year on a high note after the successful Mullum Music festival. ‘The new year brings with it many more opportunities and challenges for the Mullum Chamber. We’ll be focused on ways to stimulate the economy, bring transportation options to Mullumbimby, foster employment opportunities, and generate more entertainment, all with a mind to a sustainable future.’ ‘We’d like to congratulate a number of our members who have put on amazing spectacles this year to wow and entertain the community, including the Living Earth Festival, the Circus Festival and the recent Mullum Music Festival.’ For more information, contact the Mullumbimby Chamber of Commerce at info@mullumbimby.org.au.

Paula Raymond-Yacoub uses Shonishin acupuncture on Frankie while Frankie the dog looks on. Story & photo Eve Jeffery

Three northern rivers physiotherapists have just returned from a study trip to Japan to learn and put into practice the application of shonishin, or children’s acupuncture. The traditional medicinal practice can apply to a wide range of conditions, including coughs, colds, tonsillitis, asthma, gut problems, poor sleep and eating patterns, as well as some behavioural problems. So what’s involved? Shonishin tools resemble a flattened nail rather than an acupuncture needle. The specialised tools are gently brushed against the skin and there is no needle insertion. Local acupuncture physiotherapist, Paula RaymondYacoub, organised the trip, which included Nick Edmond from Mullumbimby, Trish Tan from Lismore and four others from around Australia. The master they studied with was Masanori Tanioka, and the sensei’s clinic is located in Yao, near Osaka. As a third-generation acupuncturist and one of the leaders in Japanese pediatric acupuncture, he has a long history as a practitioner. Masanori’s grandfather, Sutezo Tanioka, was a Buddhist priest as well as an acupuncturist. His father Ken-

taro, also a priest, lived to over 100 and developed the family’s unique style of treating children. Paula says of the practice, ‘Children are very sensitive and respond well to light stimulation.’ ‘The “less is more” rule applies here. Within a few minutes of the child’s skin being stroked their qi and autonomic nervous system are regulated. Most children, including babies, are very relaxed during the treatments.’ Paula added she was so inspired by her previous shonishin training that she requested permission to return with some close colleagues who she had trained in acupuncture.

Already an impressive 300 Australian films have been submitted alongside films from 62 different countries for the 2014 Byron Bay International Film Festival (BBFF). BBFF director J’aimee Skippon-Volke said, ‘This is a record for BBFF. It’s been really exciting for our team to see films come in from Syria, Iraq, and Tanzania as it reaffirms that each

year the reach of the festival is growing and that we’re taking our place up there on the international film festival stage. Filmmakers from the northern rivers are offered discounted rates and an extended entry deadline. BBFF2014 will run from Friday February 28 to Sunday March 9. Film entries close on December 12.

Kyogle joins other councils in rejecting CSG Melissa Hargraves

Kyogle declared itself a coal seam gas (CSG) free community recently as more than 90 per cent of the local government area (LGA) handed in road declarations to Kyogle mayor Danielle Mulholland. Kyogle Council currently has a moratorium on CSG mining in their LGA, and Cr Mulholland said the signed road closures against CSG ‘reinforce Council’s position’. ‘I do believe that I am representing the

views of the majority of the people in the LGA,’ Cr Mulholland said. ‘Whether you are for or against CSG it has, like no other issue, put the “unity” back into “community”.’ ‘While we commend the state government for implementing the most stringent regulations in Australia, we can also acknowledge that governments of all persuasions have a poor track record of regulating industries when questionable promises of large sums of money [will] flow into depleted government coffers.’

Each year, most Santos Organics staff members donate one per cent of their salary to a staff charity fund and then this amount is matched by Santos. In the past, Santos Organics staff have chosen to support organisations such as Rainforest Rescue, Sea Shepherd and the Mullumbimby Community Gardens. This year staff charity fund contributions have been allocated to a wider range of great organisations and local projects. In addition, an urgent donation of $1,000 went to

Oxfam to assist with disaster relief in the Philippines. Other international organisations supported are Sea Shepherd and Kiva Organisation. Kiva Organisation enables businesses and individuals to provide micro-loans to small businesses in need of financial support around the world.

School gardens ‘This year, we’ve also decided to allocate some funds to support local school gardens and get involved in our community schools,’ say the staff.

‘As part of this project, Santos Organics staff would love to get our hands in the earth and help your school design and set up some veggie patches. ‘If you’d like your school to be a part of this program, please send us a onepage submission by February 14, 2014, with some information about your school, some design ideas and tell us what you’d love to grow and why.’ All submissions can be sent to olivia@santostrading. com.au or by phoning 0422 130 577.

Abbott’s dog eats Gonski’s homework

Volume 28 #26

December 3, 2013

Bringing in the new year With Christmas and the holiday season upon us, it’s a good opportunity for us to extend thanks to our advertisers, from the smallest to the largest, for the commitment you have made through advertising during the course of last year with The Echo. For some, the tangible result that newspaper advertising brings to their business makes it financially rewarding. For others, association and loyalty plays a part, mainly because you understand that without an independent and critical voice, we are collectively less informed. And while some of our advertisers may not agree with everything The Echo publishes, the reality is that this newspaper is entirely funded by advertising. To maintain relevancy to its community, this publication must continue to question elected leaders, bureaucrats, authority figures (ie police and magistrates) and of course the business and wider community. There is also a benefit in celebrating this unique place we call home and the fascinating people who visit or are our neighbours. Connecting with and supporting the active, engaged members of communities should always be the cornerstone of any publication. But there is also a great benefit from a media that does the harder job of asking tough questions of everyone – there must be a balance between the ‘soft news’ and ‘hard news’ that is published. This year, I hope that you feel The Echo has been a useful mechanism through which the community can be informed and grow, and I welcome your input to editor@echo.net.au. Hans Lovejoy, editor

ur new education minister, Christopher Pyne, has long held the title of the most irritating person in parliament – some would extend the accolade to cover the entire country. But dissatisfied with this achievement, the man Julia Gillard once dubbed Tony Abbott’s pet poodle is now making a bid for wider honours. He is on track to become the most devious, untrustworthy, mean, tricky and downright dishonest minister in recent history. Let’s be clear about this: the coalition’s self-described Unity Ticket on the Gonski school funding and reform admitted of no ambiguity, no fudging, no fingers crossed behind the back. What people heard, and what Abbott and Pyne intended them to hear, was that it was to cover the first four years of the program, without exception. Every state and territory, every school and every pupil could rely on receiving the money promised by Gillard and her successor Kevin Rudd, no ifs, no buts, no talk of a funding envelope. Pyne now intends to break that promise – a breach of faith to the children involved, which the New South Wales education minister, Adrian Piccoli, has described as not just unfair, but immoral. The administrations that failed to sign up by the deadline – Queensland, Western Australia and the Northern Territory – would, of course, miss out; the money that had been allocated for them would be returned to consolidated revenue pending the time they came to the party. This was done publicly and openly; not only did details of the $1.2 billion transfer appear in all the official (and publicly available) documents, but they were widely reported in the media at the time. For Pyne to pretend it was a shock, some kind of subterfuge,

proves either that he is incapable of telling the truth or that he is so blindly incompetent he should not be trusted to run the proverbial chook raffle, let alone a major portfolio. Pyne says that he inherited a shambles; he is apparently incapable of grasping the underlying simplicity and justice of the Gonski principles. Briefly, they involve a basic payment for the education of every pupil, with a topping up for the disadvantaged – see, not really so hard, is it? But having declared himself baffled and bewildered, Pyne brusquely dismissed the offer from one of the Gonski panel

Pyne should not be trusted to run the proverbial chook raffle, let alone a major portfolio. by Mungo MacCallum members, Katherine Greiner (who comes from his own side of politics), to sit down with him and explain it. He was just too busy being a minister to afford the luxury of finding out what he was talking about. This contemptuous rejection, arguably the silliest since Tony Abbott dismissed climate science as crap, fits nicely with the pattern being established by Abbott’s ministers: don’t tell us, we don’t want to know, we certainly don’t intend to let the facts spoil our stories. Never mind that five highly respected and distinguished Australians gave up 18 months of their busy lives to prepare what is arguably the most widely researched and comprehensive report into the schools system in the history of education in this country; what would they know? Christopher Pyne had his own ideas – well, not actually his own, but the ideas Gonski was set up to replace because they had demonstrably failed. The old John

Howard funding formula was based on postcodes. All pupils who came from a postcode area where the average income was below average were considered disadvantaged; the obvious fact that by and large the wealthier families in the postcode area sent their children to the better-off private schools was ignored. The system worked particularly well for boarding schools who drew many of their boarders from rich families in poorer rural areas. Overall it was unashamedly skewed to favour the comfortable private schools over the truly needy public ones. Just how skewed was shown by fig-

RUNSWICK HEAD BLINDS & AWNINGS

ures from the New South Wales Education Department which split schools into twelve categories ranging from most to least wealthy. In the decade from 2000 to 2010, the Howard plan meant federal funding for the top division increased by 82 per cent in primary schools and 52 per cent in secondary schools. For the bottom division the increases were 25 per cent and 12 per cent respectively. Even they did better than the second lowest division, which for primary schools received a 13 per cent increase, and for secondary schools nothing – zero, zip, zilch. There were similar anomalies throughout the scale, but the overall trend was unmistakable: using Howard’s yardstick, the rich got richer and the poor got poorer. It was condemned as grotesque by just about everyone in the education sector, public and private, church and state. But Abbott said it wasn’t broken and didn’t need fixing, and Pyne said it would provide a good and eq-

uitable basis for something to replace Gonski. He has since edged away from the detail, but not the principle behind it. And then, when he finally met the state ministers after a week of blitzing the media, Pyne told them that since Commonwealth contributions to independent and Catholic schools were formally guaranteed, if there were to be cuts – not that he was saying there would be, but in these troubled times they could not be ruled out – they would have to come exclusively from the public sector. In other words, no matter how many promises he broke to the two-thirds of Australian children still in the public system, the top third – the silvertails – would remain untouchable. So much for equity, and so much for truth and justice. Abbott’s key election pitch was that we should trust him; that he would not make promises he did not keep, that this would be a mature and grown-up government that always said what it meant and did what it said. This core pledge has now been shredded and no amount of weaselling self-justification can alter the fact. Comparisons with Julia Gillard’s broken commitment on the carbon tax are already being made, but in some ways the Abbott/Pyne backflip has even more potential for damage; Gonski was hugely popular across the spectrum and the outrage against its summary trashing is being led by Abbott’s own political allies, within both the state governments and the wider community. Just ten weeks in, the Abbott government is already looking very dodgy indeed – at the very least it is not the government people thought they were voting for on September 14. And it has all been its own work. Bill Shorten must hardly believe his luck. Q See Mungo’s video at

Appreciating the small school In January this year, I brought my daughter to kindergarten at Durrumbul School for her first day of ‘big school’. After giving her a big hug and leaving her in the care of her new teacher, I quickly left before she could see me start to cry. Leaving her in a new place with nothing but a few sushi rolls and sunblock to face the world seemed a huge ask for a four-year-old. Eleven months later I know sending Tegen to Durrumbul School was the best start in the world we could have ever asked for her. Tegen has new friends, has the ‘big girls’ waiting for her at the gate when she arrives in the morning, is confident – and she is reading! Durrumbul School is a

gorgeous rural school with 31 students, lovely wooden buildings and huge grasscovered grounds for the kids to play in. What makes the school special is the community of teachers, students and families. Every teacher knows the name of every child, their parents and their siblings. They know the reading level and emotional ups and downs of each child and how to best approach them to give them the help they need to learn and to grow. The Durrumbul motto ‘learning, respect, caring’ is clearly taken to heart. The NSW department of education proposal to downgrade the role of principal to leading teacher at small local schools would mean

Roads and Maritime Services. Surely the first thing the council should have ensured was approval from Roads and Maritime Services, before the other measures could be implemented? So, what now is the backup plan for Byron this New Years Eve? It is not enough for the mayor to say that it is up to the residents to make it a family-friend-

ly event. How can our little community possibly cope with the thousands of revellers who descend on the town and trash it? Will there be extra rangers working over this period? Will they move on all the hundreds of illegal campers? Who will be out checking camping on the beaches? Or will it be a sorry replay of last year’s nightmare?

How disappointing. After promises that measures would be taken to control traffic into Byron on New Years Eve, and after costly council publicity about proof-of-accommodation stickers and park-and-ride plans, we now are told that the town cannot be closed off because of objections from

that schools like Durrumbul would soon be a thing of the past. This ‘spoke and hub’ model, with a large school controlling the funding for the smaller schools, would eventually equal closure for many, if not all, the small schools in this area. Sending your child to a small school is not everyone’s choice. But I hope that I and the other parents who have chosen to send our children to a small school continue to be able to do so.

unhappy so we decided to home-school. After two and a half years I really wanted to go to school again. We looked at lots of schools around and I chose a small school (Durrumbul Public School) because I felt I could get to know everyone and it could be like a family. I thought that in a smaller class I would be able to learn better too. I have been at the school for a while now and I never thought I would love it as much as I do! Firstly, I am friends with the whole school, secondly, I am learning lots and thirdly, I feel part of a group. I love going to school now. Orion Sturch Age 11 from Mullumbimby

While he is correct in his analysis that the problem is caused by real estate holdings (lines drawn on a map) we are long past being a society of nomads, and again his thinking is short-circuited.

tackle this growth. In fact, the heavyweights among the Australian political combatants, enthusiastically backed by big business, are all for the continuation of the post world war immigration program, based on the now obsolete ‘populate or perish’ thesis, that has seen Australia as the only western nation in the world to have doubled its population in the past half century. If this trend continues you can expect to see plenty of beaches on the east coast of Australia rock-walled, the Belongil being but one. My point is that a rock wall will end in a deep water frontage and to save the beach, miserable as it may be, you will need to build a groyne. Lester Brien Byron Bay

Land rates gall The ‘Battle against LHPA rates’ in The Land November 14 and a letter in the November 28 edition from the principal subject, Howard Furner of Goonengerry, at last exposes the statewide non-compliance in paying these arbitrary rates. For them to declare that these acts and regulations are the law is most deceptive when they wrote these very statutes. Former DPI min-

Nothing major will be done Sapoty Brook wrote an excellent letter (Echo, 26 Nov ember 26) about things we all can do to prevent the Greenhouse Effect. Unfortunately, I think it is a pretty safe bet that nothing major will be done. There are two reasons for this opinion. The first is that often people cannot change their ways. For example, I overheard a woman working in a shop in town saying she lived in Ballina. This means she burns about 70km worth of petrol round trip every working day. But how free is she to change, even assuming she wants to? It’s difficult and expensive to sell your house and buy

another, or even to change houses if you are renting. Besides, Byron Bay is probably too expensive. Like almost every other commuter, she works in a place where it is very expensive to live. Public transport (if available) can help, but even trains and buses use fossil fuels. The other reason is people’s spending habits. Most people spend all the money they can now, and make no provision for the future. You have only to look at the history of credit cards to see that. Suppose a political party does try to do something to prevent the Greenhouse Effect, such as raising electric-

ity rates to pay for future developments in solar or wind power. Most people cannot see past the rising rates. The party will simply be voted out of office. So my prediction is that nothing major is going to be done about the Greenhouse Effect. People will go along ignoring the future until some calamity comes along, like flooded coastal cities or huge hurricanes. A few people will do small things, like the ones Sapoty Brook suggests, but these will be more than cancelled out by rising population. I hope I’m wrong. Charles MacFarland Ewingsdale

ister Jack Hallam in Neville Wran’s government told me this himself. So the Act states that payment is enforceable, while services are regulated and restricted. One review even had the gall to ask ratepayers to document the benefits because they could not believably describe any identifiable returns. Over 33 years I have refused to pay these charges on my 12ha wooded valley behind Billinudgel, in that time receiving one thousand demands in the mail. After about six summonses served upon me, the RLPB/LHPA has wasted at least 13 grand in costs, legal fees and an aborted auction of my land, which I refuse to pay and they are unable to enforce. If more ‘ratepayers’ would follow this praiseworthy example, this evil QANGO would be bankrupted, so let us bring this on! With 200 statements of claim, many unlawfully served, now intimidating northern rivers landowners, those being threatened need to have the courage to defend their rights, in court if neces-

sary, and still refuse to pay up. For their media officer to say they are not happy to divulge details of these intimidating legal enforcements shows how secretive they are, because their better nature must be ashamed of the appalling treatment they have meted out over the years to innocent rural dwellers.

Byron. I assume with all the schoolies in town they would be looking for drugs, probably marijuana and ecstasy. For those who aren’t familiar with marijuana and ecstasy, they have a similar effect – they make you feel good. That’s why they’re so popular. Marijuana is famous for positively enhancing people’s perceptions, causing them to find ordinary things funny and/or beautiful and eat Tim Tams. Ecstasy is the preferred choice of people who like to dance, hug and talk. Much is made of the dangers of drugs, and some are very dangerous indeed. Alcohol is involved in one eighth of the deaths of Australians under 25. Sixty per cent of all police calls and 90 per cent of late-night police calls involve alcohol. As a cause of personal and social harm the 2012 UK Drug Policy Report rates alcohol in the top five with heroin and barbiturates, while marijuana languishes in 11th place two spots behind tobacco, the killer of 20,000 Australians a year (marijuana has not been continued on page 14

Anita returns from death with a new purpose Mandy Nolan

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not often you get to talk to someone whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;crossed overâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Someone who has experienced NDE (near death experience) and has the clarity to articulate the experience. Anita Moorjani is one such woman. Her book Dying To Be Me hit the New York Times bestsellers list just two weeks after its release in 2012 and it tells her very unusual story. Anita is one of the featured presenters at the Uplift Festival in Byron Bay in December. She told me: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I was in end stages of cancer, I had cancer for four years â&#x20AC;&#x201C; lymphoma. I weighed about 85 pounds, my muscles were deteriorated, my lungs had filled with fluid and I had open skin lesions. On February 2, 2006, my organs collapsed and doctors told my family I was dying. They told them I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it through the night as my organs had shut down.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

In a coma Anita went into a coma, but she maintains that her memory of those 30 hours was crystal clear. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;It was a near death experience, and I was aware of everything around me. I could see the doctors and what they were doing and I was not in my body any more. I was watching myself from above. I had this complete understanding and clarity and I understood why I was there. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I encountered my father who had died ten years prior and he wanted me to understand it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t my time to die but I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to go back to my body. I was suffering so much and my family had suffered enough. I understood how I got cancer and knew the truth of who I was.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Anita believes that her

NDE opened the door to the realisation that was to heal her of cancer. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I understood that I had spent a lifetime living in fear and feeling I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t good enough and beating myself up and treating myself like a doormat and I understood that all of us are amazing magnificent beings who come here to express themselves. The cancer wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t some sort of punishment from God â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it was my own powerful energy turned inward against me and when I understood that, things changed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I went back with my self-worth and a mission to find my purpose.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Although she had been in last stages of her cancer, 30 hours after sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d become unconscious Anita woke up. In four days she was sitting up and talking. She had started eating and so the food tube was removed. In the first week the tumour had shrunk by 70 per cent and within five

weeks she was discharged, completely cleared of her terminal cancer. This is the unlikely miracle that cancer patients all around the world hope will happen. Anita doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe that she was special; she simply believes â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t my time. What I felt in that state in the other realm was so beautiful and amazing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I wanted to stay there. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like there was a choice.

Lost fear â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I believe that the ones that get to stay there are the chosen ones. I completely lost my fear of death. I also believe you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t override someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s destiny. If you have relatives who are dying you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t will them back.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; All the same, Anita made an extraordinary comeback, and one that couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really be properly explained with medical science. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The doctors couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ex-

plain it and all the doctors had different conclusions. They sent my results to five different cancer institutes around the world to investigate. Every doctor agreed that I was lucky to be alive. One said it was divine intervention, someone said the chemo kicked in, someone said it was the natural things I had been doing beforehand. Some said that I was lucky!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; So how does a person live their lives after such a close call? â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s changed me completely. I now understand the more I value myself the more other people value me and the more of a difference that I can make. My life has completely turned around. We live in a world that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t support us to be who we are and express our truths. We are conditioned to believe we are not good. We live in a culture of competition. Imagine what the world would look like if we lived in a culture of collaboration.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Life was one big chore. It always felt like hard work. But today I love my life.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Moorhani is currently working on a new book which focuses on â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the importance of being yourself and valuing yourself. I feel people have become narcisstic because they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know themselves and constantly need external validation. When you know your own strength it becomes easier to appreciate other people and we become much more ourselves.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

False standard Moorjani also believes that too much is made of spiritual â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;workâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We have to stop buying into this belief we have to keep working on ourselves to be more spiritual â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a false standard. We are already there! â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I am not particularly religious. I think every single person is spiritual whether they realise it or not. Being

Different person Anitaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s profound life experience changed her in ways that made it difficult for some of those around her. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I lost a lot of friends when I came back because I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the same person. I realised the most valuable thing in life is our time, because people worry about spending money but money comes and goes but time doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. My time matters and I make every minute count, and so my life is important to me and I put value on it and I tell everyone they need to do it. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;When we put a high value on our life it changes. I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do a job where I am not happy. If something is not making you happy, then donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it. I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go back to how I was before, doing things because they were expected.

spiritual is being yourself. I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funny that people think you have to do certain things to be spiritual.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The one person who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave on Moorjaniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remarkable return was her husband. The two had been married a long time and she believed that he also was renewed by her return to self. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;My husband said I was like a child again, like I was when he first met me â&#x20AC;&#x201C; although he had only had glimpses of this side of me, that was the part of me he fell in love with. But slowly that side started to disappear because of society and life, and now, that side not only came back, but the whole of me became that person.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Letters/Pin This Up continued from page 12 directly responsible for a single death). Ecstasy is virtually harmless at 18. So why is the government persecuting and jailing people who prefer less harmful drugs? It’s easy to put it down to stupidity but no-one can be that stupid. The answer is money. What would happen to the alcohol and tobacco industries if marijuana and ecstasy were legal? A recent US

North Coast news daily:

report says ‘legalising marijuana for medical use is associated with a drop in beer sales and a decrease in heavy drinking’. Which is why the legal drug companies spend millions of dollars on political donations, lobbyists and advertising to protect their turf and ensure that better, healthier drugs are not allowed. And why our politicians, who are deeply concerned with staying in power, will continue to

outlaw marijuana and ecstasy as long as they get more money for doing so. Brian Lawry Brunswick Heads

In response to Oliver Dunne’s letter regarding leg-ropes at Wategos (Echo, November 26) I must agree. In part. Yes, there does seem to be an ever-increasing number of ‘new-style’ surfers in the Bay who choose to not wear legropes. These ‘new-style’ surfers also choose to ride heavily glassed longboards. Many of these ‘new stylers’ are also beginners. I agree that this combination is trouble waiting to happen. They should consider a leg-rope.

I ride many different styles of surfboard. One of my favourites is a heavily glassed single-fin longboard. It has no leg-rope plug, so I ride it with no leg-rope. I had it made like this. I am an experienced surfer. I know when and where to ride this board. Most importantly, unlike some of the ‘new-style’ surfers that I have referenced, I can control this heavy board. This makes a huge difference. So if you do see me at Wategos (my board is the big green one with the red tartan inlay) this summer, you will know not to confuse me with a ‘new-styler’ and foolishly ask me to ‘rope up’.

Finding hidden history among the paperbarks Story & photo Mary Gardner

My hiking companion is ahead of me, searching for the old drain which runs through the Cumbebin wetlands. We are in the ‘regrowth’: closely packed paperbark trees some fifty years old. I pause and look twice. In the soft morning light, the trees all around seem to glow. I sense something else, something vaguely present. Maybe it’s only a trick of these multifocal glasses I wear. ‘Here it is!’ he calls out. I walk over. The sunlight shifts and we consider the traces of history in the damp ground. There are bird and water dragon tracks. The drain itself was first made by a log pulled behind a horse or bullock. Likely it was dug again later with an excavator. The trees before the ones we see were cut to fuel the industries of another era of Byron Bay. Where we stand, we are hidden from the road from which we walked in. Somewhere beyond the drain is the abandoned railway line. We talk about the coming of the railway in 1894. The first jetty was up by 1887–8 and the second in 19289. Over the

years, jetties linked the rail with coastal shipping. With the construction of the rail bridge over the Clarence River in late 1920s, rail took over. In 1966, a regional committee recommended Byron Bay as the site of a deep sea port for the north coast. But Public Works decided to develop Iluka instead. The second jetty was longer than the first and it went out from the shore 670 metres. By the 1970s, storm battered and neglected, it was

condemned and blown up. But by then both jetties had served in turn to load ships with goods. From cedar, tallow, animal carcasses, maize, butter, sugarcane, molasses, and bananas to fish. In the late 1950s to early 1960s, whales were hauled up. Right from the start, passengers shipped on excursions or the regular runs to Sydney and back. People right across from Lismore through Mullumbimby and Brunswick Heads

made logs of trees. Boiled animals into tallow. Turned wetland to farmland. Milked cows before there could be butter. Over hundreds of acres, they tended suckers that grew into banana trees. In the late 1800s, banana plantations of the Mullumbimby region and Fiji were major investments of Chinese merchants and associations in Sydney and Victoria. These groups, principally from Canton, managed networks of clan members who worked first to pay their passage and then to send money back home. In the 1860s, they directed many men into goldmining. For that to be successful, they also invested in supplying food for these miners. They financed gardens for vegetables. They also supported the salting and brining of fish, a staple food. Sacks of cured fish were simple to transport by cart to mining fields and by ship to China. According to Alister Bowen, an Australian historical archaeologist, the economics of salt-cured fish reveal something lost to time. From 1850 to 1900, dozens of fish-curing operations in Victoria, NSW,

South Australia, Northern Territory and Tasmania used fish caught by Chinese fishers but also paid for catch from European fishers. Bowen estimates that the quantities were ‘literally hundreds of tons more than the European sale of fresh fish’. In the late 1860s, the Chinese fish trade was four times greater than the Europeans’ trade. When most European fishers were earning fifty pounds a year, the Chinese trade earned that each day. Chinese business was im-

portant in Australia and the Indo-Pacific region. Of the rich merchants, two became board directors at the Commercial Bank of Australia (later to form Westpac Bank). Chinese characters were on the banknotes. After the gold rush, Chinese diversification led to market gardens not only in the cities but in small towns. Mullumbimby had such gardens. So did Byron Bay. Where? Apparently, near Mitre 10. Close to where paperbarks grow again.

Healthy Tips on Blueberries If you are looking to ďŹ nd a food that tastes great and is healthy to include in festive meals for family and friends, look no further than the beautiful blueberry. Traditionally blueberries have been used to treat diarrhoea, gut problems, haemorrhoids, scurvy and urinary complaints. Blueberries are widely recognised as one of the new superfoods, high in anthocyanins, which is the reason why this little fruit is proving to be such a success story in the treatment of vascular problems, wound healing and eyesight. Some great ways you can include them in your Christmas fare is in salads and fruit salads, a topping for pavlova, or start your holiday season with a fabulous, tasty blueberry smoothie every morning. Call into Blueberry Fields at Mullum and New Brighton farmers markets and talk to Lynette about their handpicked blueberries. Also, see our Facebook page for a fabulous blueberry and rocket salad recipe.

THEATRE-LOVERS ARE IN FOR A TREAT WHEN NEW THEATRE GROUP THE THEATRE PROJECT, DIRECTED BY ROBERT OWENS, PRESENTS THEIR OWN ADAPTATION OF THE SPANISH PLAY THE HOUSE OF BERNARDA ALBA. SEVEN SPOKE WITH ROB OWENS ABOUT THE UPCOMING PRODUCTION. Tell me a little about the concept for the production. This play is described as a tragedy. The last thing I want to do, however, is fall into the obvious and let assumptions mandate a dark and heavy allegory on a dreadful time in Spanish history. I know life to be full of contradictions. Tragedy can be mundane, absurd, beautiful as much as it is horrible. The Greeks were wrong to separate Tragedy and Comedy! It seems to me that one defines the other and they are inseparable, so this production of Bernarda Alba is light as it is heavy, is funny as it is tragic… but it is always meaningful. As a director what were you looking for in performances? I started out using Lorca’s script a number of years ago to explore an actor-training methodology that I have been developing since I had a year in Melbourne doing postgrad study at VCA. The methodology demands intense focus and with this comes a quality, an aesthetic even. I am looking for dynamic and nuanced performances from the actors. If this is achieved, audiences are engaged; interested, and, if anyone in the audience is not, then we have failed… But we’ll ‘screw our courage to the sticking place and we’ll not fail’! What have been the challenges directing a collaborative show (musicians/ actors etc)? Collaboration is an important process in creating theatre for many reasons. At a base level, the people involved in the project must know and own the production. No-one is paid anything in community theatre. This show will run at a loss. The reward is inclusion and the satisfaction of contributing to something artistically fulfilling and that audiences appreciate. Listening to people and coordinating everyone’s contribution is difficult, but I am working with people in The Theatre Project who have similar artistic values to mine, though not necessarily the same aesthetic. In this production we have four wonderful musicians and the complicity that must exist between them and the actors, and the lights, and the costumes and props and everything else that makes up the theatrical experience, must be palpable, must be meaningful. Collaboration is something that is be practised from the beginning of the process if it is to achieve a unity in the production. What is it about the medium of theatre that you are drawn to? Theatre for me is extraordinarily complex and beautiful. The eminent literary critic Harold Bloom speaks of Shakespeare’s writing as ‘the invention of the human’. How incredible is it that we can take those scribbles on paper and fashion the physical world they imply?… Wow, what a wonderful thing to do! But it is difficult. Great directors and playwrights are very few in the world… how many Shakespeares are there out there? Creating good theatre, I imagine, might be like playing a form of threedimensional chess: extraordinarily complicated but forever fascinating and joyous; something that demands you to tap into different types of intelligences. Is it a challenge to come up with theatre pieces that are going to resonate with contemporary ‘digital’ audiences who are used to receiving information and entertainment in very different ways? Digital ‘entertainment’ seems to me terribly remote, although it can be fun and grow neurons and solve certain problems if used in the right way. But I have an unwavering belief that people crave intimacy, people crave an encounter, and that it is through creative contact

that we truly find joy and meaning in our lives. Sure the ‘digital’ can appear to do so much ‘more’… give us fantastical worlds or feed us roles that we only dream about, and we love it for that, but I can’t see it going any further than that. It’s not the flesh, blood and bone moving in the space that theatre is. Theatre affirms our humanity and, in the middle of the night, this is what is important. How have you staged this piece? I have cut and reassembled the original Lorca script a great deal. I admit that purists may be a little miffed but I contend that to find a play’s ‘local habitation and a name’ as Theseus in A Mid-Summer Night’s Dream put it, one must adapt. It is the playing space, however, that dictates so much of what the play ‘looks like’. Byron Bay High School has been very generous in allowing The Theatre Project to use its Performing Arts Centre. The PAC is an open space with no curtains to hide behind. Audiences will see the actors, they will see the characters, they will see the musicians, they will see the lighting and who controls it, they will smell the coffee! This production of Alba is pure theatre… finessed? Most definitely so, but I’d like to think also that our Alba has an edge that is in the tradition of great storytelling. What impact are you hoping to have on the audience? Taking on this play, I wanted to examine whether it is indeed possible to create community theatre that is genuinely engaging; that is complex and difficult but intellectually and emotionally satisfying for both participants and audiences. The House of Bernarda Alba asks audiences to stretch beyond the comfortable and predictable and ‘the market’ mentality of Saturday night gig guides. It is a theatre of beauty and contradiction that makes comment on what it is to be an artist in the theatre and to be living in Byron. Thursday and Friday at 8pm at the Performing Arts Centre, Byron High School. Show is $15 and $20 and tickets are available at Santos in Mullum and Byron.

SOAP BOX! See Mandy live at www.echonetdaily.net.au SOMETHING IN THE WATER Last night on the way home from a gig I stopped in at a petrol station to fill up. On paying I decide to grab a bottle of water. The attendant rattles off the spiel. ‘You are lucky because Mt Franklin is on special. One bottle costs $3.75 but two cost only $4’. I am now expected to upsize my water order to two bottles of Mt Franklin because clearly only an idiot would order one bottle when you can get a second one for just 25 cents. I mean what does 25 cents buy? You can’t get anything with 25 cents. I mean the container alone would be worth 25 cents. I am basically being given product free. But I am perplexed. I don’t want two bottles of water. I only want one. So why at 11 o’clock at night after a long day and a gig is the guy behind the bulletproof glass pushing water? I feel annoyed. I don’t know what to say. So I decide to go with my gut. ‘I’ll just have one, thanks.’ He can’t believe it. Clearly I have no idea of value. ‘It won’t go off,’ he says. Fuck, what the hell is wrong with the water? He’s so keen to move his two bottles per purchase I am suspicious. I am starting to think its a service station attendant joke, like he’s urinated in a few bottles and thinks it’s piss funny if I pay 25 cents for the pleasure of drinking one of his samples. Kind of like a Mt Franklin russian roulette. ‘But I won’t drink it.’ He looks at me like I’m a moron. ‘It’s water. Of course you’ll drink it.’ Wow, the dude is like my mum. He is not going to let me leave unless I take two bottles of water. Clearly he’s on some sort of water-based commission. He’s got a pallet of water that he’s got to move by dawn.

Live Music NEW DUB

‘You can just leave it in the car,’ he assures me. ‘It’s always good to have a spare bottle of water in the car.’ Jesus, is Mt Franklin going broke? Have they got a massive surplus of water that they’re not telling us about? Do they have to move large quantities of their premium spring water in case it goes off? Is there trouble at the spring? Did someone leave the tap on and filled up too many bottles? I am starting to doubt myself. Maybe I should get two bottles of water. I’m just being difficult. He’s just doing his job. Go on Mandy. Take the two bottles of water. But I can’t do it. It feels wrong. I don’t want a ‘free’ bottle of water, just like I didn’t want the extra iPhone that Optus forced me to have with my new plan when the iPhone I have works perfectly well. I don’t feel good about being forced to consume things that I don’t want just because they are free. When I told Optus I had a stance about overconsumption and the fact the general public were pressured into consuming more than they needed just to boost the economy and that it seemed unethical to get another iPhone when mine was only 18 months old and working perfectly well and considering that the villagers in China who make them for a few cents an hour ended up killing themselves due to their poverty and exploitation, that just discarding an iPhone felt wrong. The woman on the other end thought I was a nut bag. Responses to contentious objectors of consumption were not part of the script. She said, ‘Well, just take the phone and put it in the cupboard.’ Just like that. So I buckled. I couldn’t take another minute of her rattling off the terms and conditions so now I have a brand new iPhone still in the packaging in the cupboard. I won’t take the water. I will stick to my guns this time. ‘I only want one bottle because you can’t leave water in the car in plastic because it makes it toxic.’ Fuck you, Mr Service Station Water Dealer, try and upsell me now. But he’s fast, some might even say slippery, when it comes to closing his $4 deal. ‘Then why don’t

you take one of the bottles inside?’ I can’t believe what he’s just said. He’s been talking to the woman from Optus. Maybe they’ve done the same training module. ‘Should I put it in the cupboard?’ ‘Yes,’ he says, ‘good idea. Keep it in the cupboard.’ I just want to go. I take two waters. He has won. And I have bought into a system that encourages people to purchase not just beyond their need but also beyond their want. I hate myself all the way home. Every sip makes me feel weak. When I get home it’s midnight. I take the bottle of Mt Franklin inside and I place it in the cupboard next to the iPhone parcel. I go to bed. I can’t sleep. I have broken something deep inside. The part of me that once not only had principles, but also the courage and the energy to see them through. I’m not ready to give that up just yet. I get up and start getting dressed. My husband rolls over. ‘Where are you going?’ ‘Ballina. I’ve got something I need to finish.’ It’s 4am when I hit Ballina. It’s a 24-hour servo, and the water man is there still forcing his weary customers to have a second bottle of Mt Franklin. I slam the bottle on the counter. ‘I didn’t want this, you bullied me into taking it, so I bought it back’. I get in the car. Fuck him! Should have seen his face. I won! I didn’t take the water! I feel amazing. Like a teenager. Principles are better than Botox. I am just pulling out into the traffic enjoying my water-based triumph when I notice that I am thirsty. Ridiculously throat-bleedingly thirsty. Fuuckkk!!!!!!!!

They all met each other in the early years of high school, but only recently started writing material together. They recorded a couple of demo tracks themselves in a DIY studio in the Byron hills. Influenced by the ocean, people, Byron and 70s culture, and intrigued by the sounds and style of good old-fashioned rock â&#x20AC;&#x2122;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roll legends such as Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Nirvana, Neil Young, Clapton, Hendrixâ&#x20AC;Ś All these guys wanna do is surf, chill out and make music in the hills.

CONNECT Artist Bios The Black Lullaby With a debut EP firmly planted under their belt, The Black Lullaby recently released their second self-titled EP under the guidance of ARIA nominated producer Lachlan Mitchell (The Jezabels, The Whitlams). Blending gritty guitars, a solid rhythm section, and ethereal harmonies, the accomplished release saw the band score support shows with British India and The Trouble with Templeton. SupaFresh Urban outfit SupaFresh bring original smooth hip-hop tunes with pop and R&B influences to the stage with soaring melodies and heavy-hitting rhymes. These Indigenous artists have performed alongside Casey Donovan, Justice Crew and supported the Yung Warriors on their national tour, before stealing the show at Worldstages Music Festival and Boomerang Music Festival. Starboard Cannons With a style somewhere between the Scottish Highlands and the Aussie bush, it was the release of their debut album Somebody’s Opus co-produced by Jordan Power (Angus Stone, Powderfinger) that put Starboard Cannons on the map. Their songs move through super-fast bluegrass terrain, across the realm of haunting folk ballads and head-first into beer-spilling, shout-along sea shanty territory. Andrea Soler Immersed in French folk music in a bohemian family, Andrea evokes the tradition of the troubadour with a beguiling joie de vivre through the realms of indie folk, roots and world music. Whether it’s an intimate solo show or a packed festival, Andrea exudes a warmth and charm that envelops an audience on a very genuine and intimate level.

s r a t S WITH LILITH

With this week’s sun, Mercury and new moon in the sign of adventure and discovery, boring same-old loses appeal and fresh perspectives beckon…

E ARIES: This week expands your recent deeply internal focus into a more extensive panorama. The benefits? You’ll immediately recognise new avenues of opportunity and inspire others to come along for an exciting ride. Possible pitfalls? Keep checking that expansive doesn’t become too expensive. F TAURUS: With life so fast-paced this week you may need to change tactics to get the benefits. Spontaneous, original ideas will attract more punters than predictable responses. With December’s active, energetic emphasis encouraging shared resources, combining shopping trips and festive entertaining expenses is well worth considering. G GEMINI: December’s the month of merry mayhem, inspired spruiking, lively networking and erratic behaviour – all of which contribute to the partnership issues on this week’s table. With your planetary boss Mercury in gregarious Sagittarius talking up a storm, your biggest ask right now is to just listen. H CANCER: As your emotional aperture widens from family focus and domestic setting to a more inclusive perspective, this week’s world on holiday countdown requires you to think quickly, make snap decisions, trust your instincts and lower tension levels by deleting arguing from your list of December activities.

Mungo’s Crossword

I L EO: This week’s flamboyant astral alignment has your majesties wired, fired and inspired. It tickles your funnybone and expands your natural tendency to largesse. So when others make enthusiastic advances, don’t take any chances. Or believe everything you hear, even though you want to. Especially when you want to… J VIRGO: Shopping, prepping and pre-planning this week before things get hectic and frantic will pay off in terms of being able to cruise reasonably stressfree through the next three. Resist taking on too much, and don’t forget that humour’s your current top priority, must-have accessory. K L IBRA: Peace and quiet are rare this week as an influx of Sagittarian socialising and exuberant newcomers tips Planet Libra into spin cycle. Fortunately the present transit’s formidable forthrightness heightens decisiveness, so making up your mind won’t be as excruciating as usual when you’re foraging in kamikaze shopping world. L SCORPIO: Fun, trouble, love and money – this fast and furious week juggles them all, with the emphasis on values: who and what you value, valuable ideas. Your call’s discernment, as in choosing worthwhile over wasteful, establishing fact from fabrication and separating wishful thinking from what’s practically possible.

For many cinema audiences, Stanley Kubrick’s 1960 film Spartacus, starring Kirk Douglas in the title role, was their first introduction to the epic story of the slave turned gladiator who inspired a rebellion in ancient Rome. A rather different but no less exciting version, performed by the Bolshoi Ballet, screens at Palace Cinema this week, with music by Aram Khachaturyan, choreography by Yuri Grigorovich and featuring the Bolshoi principals, soloists and corps de ballet. Sunday December 8 at 1 pm. Tickets $21–23 available now at the cinema or online at www. palacecinemas.com.au.

THE BOLSHOI BALLET PRESENT SPARTACUS SCREENING AT THE PALACE CINEMA IN BYRON ON SUNDAY

M S AGITTARIUS: With so much happening on Planet Sag you’re wildly witty and sassy to the max – though those vivid opinions won’t always go down like honey, so reaction management’s one of this week’s biggies. Along with checking first impulses, slowing down and choosing the best and fairest response. N CAPRICORN: December doesn’t favour solo operators because current conditions call for team players and collaboration skills. So why not let this week’s progressive, full-forward energies overcome the Capricorn tendency to Lot’s Wife syndrome, that condition where past experience stops you moving ahead into a new life-stream. O AQUARIUS: This week’s packed with compelling distractions, so make a list of priorities or you’ll just spend energy spinning your wheels going nowhere. During late-week Aquarius moon, talk things through – you’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain by letting others know how you feel. P P ISCES: December can be a stressy month, so as this week’s legs race towards Planet Party, lock into cruise control for the season of unreason and refuse to be railroaded. Plan what you can in advance rather than leaving things till the last minute like you usually do.

Jacobi, Alex Jennings, Rory Kinnear, Adrian Lester, Anna Maxwell Martin, Helen Mirren, Andrew Scott, Maggie Smith and Penelope Wilton. National Theatre: 50 Years on Stage screens at Palace Byron Bay Cinema on Saturday at 1pm, tickets $23–25.

COMEDY CHRISTMAS VIRGINS They’re back – the next crop of Mandy Nolan’s standup comedy Virgins. Bigger, bolder and brasher than ever. For the past six weeks standup comedian, artist, mother and mentor Mandy Nolan has been teaching the gentle art of standup to her latest comedy initiates. The students have been wowing Mandy with their enthusiasm and their new-found ability. Mandy has been teaching standup comedy through Byron Shire ACE for well over a decade. She teaches them to get in touch with their struggles, their problems, what irritates them, and rise above it. ‘Comedy is the ultimate tool for revenge. It’s the place where the oppressed can take out the oppressor. Comedy heroes are all Davids. Nobody likes Goliath.’ Standup comedy is the ultimate way to improve your public speaking, to increase your confidence and overcome your fear of failure! Graduates all take to the stage after their short training to present their five-minute comedy routine in a real live comedy setting. With Mandy Nolan as MC, the comedy graduates fly in the face of fear at the Court House Hotel in Mullumbimby on Thursday at 8pm. Free.

Cinema Review ADORATION This is a Franco/Australian production, with a soupçon too much of the selfconsciousness of Euro arthouse for my taste. In defence of French cinema, however, they do like nothing better than to light a fire under an old taboo – but now that we’re all in cyberspace, is anything taboo anymore? The story is about two women, no longer spring chickens (Naomi Watts and Robin Wright), having it off with each other’s son (Xavier Samuel and James Frecheville). Shock horror, huh? They live a mindlessly idyllic life on a headland

somewhere north of Sydney. They spend their days surfing, dining sensually, drinking a good deal of vin rouge, and even smoking – for whatever reason, the Froggies accord to le fag a failsafe ability to communicate moodiness/ sultriness/thoughtfulness … l’existentialisme! Naomi, long widowed, and Robin, with a hastily sketched husband (Ben Mendelsohn) who has moved to the city to take up a uni teaching job, allow themselves to be seduced by the boys and the relationships go beyond the merely carnal. Both women are reborn, their

femininity rekindled. Watts and Wright rise above a script that morphs from warmish to cold and back again, but the blokes, though handsome, are a bit wooden. There are a number of instances of clunky dialogue – whoever wrote the scene in which Gary Sweet, a suitor of Naomi, declares his love for her, should be garrotted – and there are probably enough establishment shots of the maison overlooking the beach to fit into three movies. Based on a novel by Doris Lessing, the transfer from page to screen has resulted

in a turgid potboiler that falls somewhere between Schoolgirls’ Confidential and the Penthouse Forum, with neither the titillation and skanky wit of the former nor the get-down-dirtyand-sweaty horniness of the latter. The outcome is bleak, but none of the unappealing characters deserve any better. An arduous hundred minutes, it feels too much like payback for all of those French flicks in which wrinkly old men pull chicks who can’t resist them. ~ John Campbell

gorgeous aria. Most of us know that the words mean

‘none shall sleep’, but only the opera buff is aware of the context. In this, it is explained to Julie-Ann (Alexandra Roach) by Paul (James Corden) as she disrobes on their wedding night. ‘And my kiss will dissolve the silence that makes you mine!’ It’s quite a moment – one of more than I anticipated in a movie that is impossible to dislike. It tells the true story of Paul Potts, a winner of Britain’s Got Talent. From when he was a child in a church choir, the only thing that chubby, daggy Paul has ever wanted to do is sing. He is blessed with a beautiful tenor voice, but in the grim Welsh town where he’s grown up it’s either the steelworks or

a job selling car-phones. He has been bullied in his youth and borne paternal derision throughout his awkward youth – his father’s proudest boast is that he broke a famous opponent’s bones in a game of rugby – but Paul will not let go of his dream. It all sounds too cheesy to swallow, but somehow it works. Central to its success is the rock-solid romance between Paul and Julie-Ann. After corresponding online, he calling himself Brad Pitt and she Cameron Diaz, they finally meet on a railway station and the bond that is immediately formed between them sustains a thin, rather shop-soiled plot. Setbacks come thick and fast

for Paul, the most demoralising of them being when the great man, Pavarotti himself, pours cold water on his ambition, but because we are aware of Paul’s fate beforehand there is never any threat to the feelgood wave that we comfortably wait to be drenched by. In the meantime, the juxtaposition of stark reality and fanciful hope is a constant theme – the slag heaps of Wales and the splendour of Venice the most striking – along with the age-old moral of being true to yourself and

never giving up. Terrific. ~ John Campbell

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 Jay’s ex (Tasma Walton), was a close friend of the murdered girl and that she, in all likelihood, was moving in the same shadowy, drug-numbed

world. Other coppers are most likely bent, with Hugo Weaving’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 – 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 – 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 – or binding glue – 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 – Sen might have been advised to not attempt absolutely everything himself. Otherwise fab. ~ John Campbell

MYSTERY ROAD Ivan Sen’s new film is set somewhere in the unlovely, unromantic outback, where the car numberplates have no identifying state initials – 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 – her throat slit. The sergeant at the local police station (Tony Barry) is apathetic, prepared to take only the most

Anthony Williams suffered from depression and anxiety for ten long years. He had sought help in many different areas and had been on and off a medication rollercoaster trying to find the best answer to his illness, and what is often a misunderstood condition. Anthony finally found something that was for him, better than any of the drugs. He discovered Mixed Martial Arts and decided to train with a professional academy where he could learn what it takes to train for a real Mixed Martial Arts fight. In July, Anthony approached Ben Pietzsch from Extreme MMA in Byron and asked if the gym would sponsor him in a Mixed Martial Arts Challenge supporting and showcasing the fight against menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s depression and anxiety. The plan was for Anthony to reach a peak level in 12 weeks and get into the MMA cage to show that he could â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;punch menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s depression on the faceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, and show other men suffering from similar issues that it is so important to get involved with martial arts or a group of like-minded men that you can open up to. Ben says that in what appears to be a tough environment, openness and mateship is found among training partners. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;In what would seem to be a place where you need to be tough, often a martial arts academy is where men learn their limits and feel more comfortable with their weak-

nessesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, says Ben. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;There is no hiding and, because of this, it helps to promote openness. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Men learn while doing the martial arts that vulnerability, fear and weakness are things we all experience in some form, and in this group men can feel more comfortable about sharing whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on their minds.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Ben says being tough might be closer to a gruelling 12-hour-per-week training regimen than staying at home and not talking through your thoughts and issues. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Men everywhere may suffer depression at one point in their lives and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to show all men out there that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easier in the long run to talk and to work through your issues than to keep quiet. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Money issues, family and spousal issues, and generally just being a â&#x20AC;&#x153;manâ&#x20AC;? can be hard work. We men need to pull together, have a good chat, and if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re into the martial arts, get up a good

sweat and let those natural endorphins loose.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Extreme MMA are in the process of putting together a foundation for menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s depression using martial arts as a platform for recovery. Anthony wants to help as many men as he can and will be using his Facebook page and a soon-to-be-launched website which will encourage men to open up and chat to him personally or through social media. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Extreme Mixed Martial Arts want to encourage everyone to live a healthy lifestyle with a good training regime, good food choices, and doing the right things for your mental health, like being a part of a club or association where you feel comfortable talking and sharing with those around youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, says Ben. Anthony can be contacted on his page Fitter Faster Stronger MMA Challenge, or through Extreme MMA Byron Bay 6685 7001.

NSW coastal drowning deaths continue to rise Drownings on NSW beaches and coastal waterways have reached the highest in nine years according to the 2013 National Coastal Safety Report conducted by Surf Life Saving and launched by the prime minister, the Hon Tony Abbott MP, in Canberra yesterday.

While 48 coastal drowning deaths occurred last year in NSW(10 above the nineyear average of 38), the statistics show that most drownings occur at unpatrolled locations. The National Coastal Safety Report points to other activities such as rock fish-

ing and watercraft (nonpowered) as a leading cause of death, with both activities combined accounting for 27.1 per cent of all deaths while swimming/wading accounted for 22.9 per cent. Nearly 30 per cent (29.1%) of all deaths were young people aged in their twenties

(20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;29) while an overwhelming 83 per cent of all drowning deaths were male. Surf Life Saving Australia president Graham Ford said that the report presents the surf life saving movement nationally with an increasing challenge of matching community needs for life-saving

HOUSING MUST KEEP UP WITH POPULATION GROWTH: UDIA The peak association representing Australia’s development industry says new ABS ﬁgures highlight the critical need to improve the supply of land and new housing as well as increase investment in new urban infrastructure. The ﬁgures released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics project Australia’s population will double to 46 million people by 2075. Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA) national president Cameron Shephard said that Austra-

lia’s economic productivity and the quality of life in our cities will be threatened if infrastructure and housing provision do not keep up with population growth. ‘Our population is going to grow enormously over the coming decades, which will bring fantastic economic beneﬁts for Australia and provide new opportunities for our society,’ Mr Shephard said. ‘It is essential however that we manage that growth sustainably, by ensuring we are well prepared to provide the new homes, roads,

schools, public transport and other community infrastructure that those additional people will need. ‘Failure to do so is likely to worsen existing congestion and housing affordability problems, threatening both the quality of life in our cities, as well as Australia’s economic productivity. ‘It is vital that the new federal government increases its focus on urban policy and Australia’s cities, and that the recent abolition of bodies such as the National Housing Supply Council does not negatively impact on this vital area of economic and social policy. The ABS ﬁgures clearly show that as a nation we need to be putting more resources into planning and managing the growth of our

‘Green’, ‘growth’ and ‘lifestyle’ co-existing in Denmark cities, not less. ‘Australia already suffers from a chronic housing shortage of several hundred thousand dwellings. Addressing the existing shortage as well as the additional demand caused by population growth is a a major challenge for our

policy makers.’ UDIA is calling on both state and federal governments to work together to ensure there is better planning, greater land release, and more investment in critical urban infrastructure to support Australia’s population growth.

‘If governments improve planning and ensure that adequate land, housing, and infrastructure are provided, population growth can be sustainable and to the beneﬁt of both the economy and broader community’ concluded Mr Shephard.

Apparently teen idol Justin Bieber visited Byron Bay last week but we were so busy swooning with indifference we forgot to hound him. The Gold Coast council is not indifferent, however, to Mr Bieber spraying graffiti on a local hotel. The hotel itself is happy to keep it but the mayor wants it gone. Reminds us of the time in 1990 artist Brett Whiteley drew a charcoal sketch of his naked girlfriend on the Wategos Beach public toilet wall and council workers later scrubbed it off. Had Council auctioned off the wall they might be able to pay for their upcoming NYE celebrations. Photographer Stuart Owen Fox recorded the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;vandalismâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and there is a copy in the Lismore art galleryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collection, as well as in our Mullum office.
