A parting gift of rain settled some of the dust at the final day of the Falls Music and Arts Festival at Yelgun. Organisers say 15,000 patrons attended the three day event, of which 13,500 were also campers onsite. But it wasn’t just the headliners

that featured; roving entertainers as well as artists created an artistic, colourful oasis in the village area, which included workshops.

Police praise Police also praised the general

behaviour of festival-goers: Tweed inspector Greg Jago told The Echo there was a only a small number of drug detections. Ending the first Byron Falls festival were The Violent Femmes, followed by Neil Finn, The Wombats and MGMT.

For 30 years, Brunswick Buccaneers has been an icon of Brunswick Heads, but now the tourist attraction is under threat from NSW government bureaucrats. An eviction notice was served ‘without warning’ last Easter by Colin Woodbry from North Coast Holiday Parks (NCHP) to operator Ilan Schnitzler, who has for the last 15 years hired boats, kayaks, canoes and paddle boards from his pirate ship on the river opposite the pub. Additionally, The Echo has learned that NSW Crown Lands employee Nessbit Hurcum has hand-balled responsibility of the surrounding parks and waterways to NCHP and

is ‘reluctant to go against the recommendations’ of its Trust manager and former Byron Shire Council employee, Jim Bolger. In a startling reply to Echo inquiries, Mr Bolger refused to explain his decision to evict Mr Schnitzler and, like NCHP’s financial records, his actions remain cloaked in secrecy. Mr Bolger told The Echo, ‘The Trust will not take part in discussing licence or legal issues through the media.’

Another PR blunder It’s the latest public relations blunder and take-over bid by the state government-owned and privately run corporation; three Brunswick Heads caravan parks and foreshore continued on page 2

Nightclub engulfed by flames Byron Bay nightclub La La Land was gutted by fire Saturday night, forcing the evacuation of around 20 patrons. The fire started about 9.15pm in the roof of the building and quickly spread, eventually closing Lawson Street outside the club as fire crews extinguished the fire and ensured

other surrounding buildings were safe. The street was reopened Sunday morning. Locals say it’s the second fire in ten years to have hit the nightclub. There were no reported injuries from the fire but major damage was

caused to the nightclub and its contents through the fire, smoke and water. Fire crews were on watch at the premises Sunday morning as the fire was still smouldering. Police will prepare a brief for the Coroner due to the amount of damage.

Byron’s streets (mostly) reclaimed for NYE Despite 23 arrests and spot brawls erupting around the town’s parks and beach, celebrations for the start of 2014 in Byron was a huge improvement on last year, say the mayor and business chamber. Again, Byron Bay proved to be the north coast’s main tourist mecca, with thousands of youth and families from all over Australia and the world celebrating with locals. Hospitals around the region reported a normal midweek night with no rush of patients to deal with over the

night at Byron, Ballina, Tweed Heads, Murwillumbah, Lismore and Mullumbimby. Families were out in force all evening with the little ones enjoying the colour and noise of the NYE strip as Jonson Street was blocked off for entertainment and food and market stalls. It remains to be seen if Council’s Park ’n’ Ride initiative was a success, although there was still plenty of parking to be had in town. Byron United (business chamber) president Michael

O’Grady told The Echo he had only heard good things. ‘I was out on the streets on NYE with my family at around 7.30pm and it was a great atmosphere.’ He congratulated Council and staff on a great job in managing the night. Mayor Simon Richardson said that judging by the ‘wonderful responses’ by the community, the aims ‘of creating positive spaces into which our residents could meet and celebrate NYE,’ were achieved.

Bureaucrats try to sink Brunswick Buccaneer continued from page 1 land that were previously managed by Council were controversially taken away in 2006. An Echo investigation later revealed that after that takeover, Council is now much worse off financially for it. Additionally, residents criticised NCHP over the caravan parks’ subsequent encroachment on footpaths, roads and foreshores. So far, the only state MP to be critical of the lack of transparency with the cost shifting and loss of amenity to locals is Jan Barham, who is also a former Byron Shire mayor. And like other residents of Brunswick Heads, Mr Schnitzler is putting up a fight. He says the consent authority of the waterway is Crown Lands, despite being ‘vaguely threatened’ by NCHP about having customers ‘illegally’ use the steps from the park as an embarkation point. ‘I received a letter by NCHP last Easter saying my lease had been terminated

because of unpaid rent,’ Mr Schnitzler told The Echo. ‘I was given just four days to leave, and an extension of two weeks if I paid the $300 that was owing. There was no warning. They claimed I did not pay them rent, but I never received those letters. It was a very unprofessional letter.’

Four days’ notice He says his tenure with Council to operate on Simpsons Creek rolled over to NCHP after it took control. This also includes access to Banner Park, where his boat is moored. But after engaging a solicitor to defend the eviction, Mr Schnitzler says he was advised that Crown Lands have jurisdiction on the creek, ‘as the boat is moored below the mean high-water mark and that is where the Banner Park boundary ends.’ However Crown Lands have hand-balled responsibility instead to NCHP. Mr Schnitzler’s legal representative, Claire Lovejoy, told The Echo, ‘It appears from [Crown Lands area manager] Nessbit Hurcum’s last email that the only reason they are not giving Mr Schnitzler a permit to stay in the Crown Lands creek is because NCHP won’t give him a permit for customers to access the stairs. ‘So while he is moored in Crown Lands jurisdiction, NCHP are involved because customers enter through Banner Park. ‘I have been verbally advised by Marine Parks and Ilan has said RMS have said they will also provide their permits once he gets ‘tenure’ to stay. That can only come

through Crown Lands, who say they will only provide it if NCHP allow the customers to access the stairs.’ While Mr Schnitzler says he received no return calls or emails after asking Crown Lands to intervene, Ms Lovejoy says she received an email from Mr Hurcum advising her client that he was, ‘reluctant to go against the recommendations’ of the NCHP reserve trust manager and offer a separate tenure. Instead, Mr Hurcum suggested that as plans of management for the reserves are now on display for comment, ‘it may be an appropriate avenue for you to raise this matter through comment, for discussion and adoption – given the iconic nature of your client’s enterprise.’ The eviction plans by bureaucrats at NCHP and the hand-balling of responsibility by Crown Lands were also kept a secret from NSW minister for north coast, Don Page (Nationals).

MP ‘surprised’ It raises the question as to what accountability the NCHP corporation has to the government and suggests Mr Bolger and his bureaucrats are undermining the authority of the politicans – and therefore the public – whom they are supposed to serve. While Mr Page didn’t answer The Echo’s question as to whether he was happy with Jim Bolger’s performance as NCHP manager, he did say, ‘I do receive briefings from time to time on Crown Land issues in Brunswick Heads but I’ve not been briefed on the Brunswick Buccaneers situation.’

As for the lack of transparency by NCHP, Mr Page said he was ‘surprised to hear’ that NCHP is refusing to explain its actions. ‘I believe and the government believes in transparency, so an explanation should be made.’ He added that he will follow up the case this week. Meanwhile, Mr Schnitzler’s operation remains in limbo as he has no current permit to stay in the creek. It comes as plans of management for Brunswick Heads caravan parks and foreshores by NCHP were put on public display. So far it has been slammed by residents as ‘pursuing maximum profits without regard for social or environmental impacts’.

Bolger also wants redgum removed Additionally a plan by NCHP to remove an 80-yearold forest redgum (Eucalyptus Tereticornis) in Banner Park recently angered locals who successfully fought to retain it ten years ago after it was also then deemed dangerous. Byron Shire Council staff instead have recommended the fate of the tree be left up to councillors at the February 14 meeting. NCHP’s Colin Woodbry did not reply to The Echo by the time of going to press; however, Crown Lands senior surveyor Nessbit Hurcum told The Echo he could not respond to our enquiries due to departmental protocols, but the enquiry had been sent to their communications group.

Sailing the seas of plastic debris The dependence on single-use disposable items, particularly plastic, is contributing to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, says Australian environmentalist Tim Silverwood. It’s a floating ‘island’ of trash in the North Pacific Ocean, and in 2011, Silverwood spent three weeks sailing from Hawaii to Vancouver to document and research the gigantic plastic soup with a team of scientists, activists and filmmakers. As Hawaii sits in the middle of the North Pacific Gyre, Silverwood says it receives ‘a daily dose of trash from the sea’.

New law ‘could lift vaccination rates’ NSW health authorities hope new laws aimed at boosting immunisation rates for young children may educate parents about the benefits of vaccination, especially on the north coast, where vaccination rates are much lower than elsewhere. Minister for the north coast and Ballina MP Don Page has welcomed the new requirements, which came into force on January 1, saying they could lift immunisation levels in the region. Under the new laws, a child cannot be enrolled at a childcare facility unless the parent or guardian provides an of-

Mr Page says preventable diseases such as whooping cough and measles continued to be seen in the north coast communities. Meanwhile NSW health minister Jillian Skinner says the amendments to the Public Health Act 2010 ‘send a clear message to parents that the NSW government is serious about protecting the health of children and the wider community’. ‘The NSW government is determined to protect our children from the devastating consequences of vaccine-pre-

ventable disease,’ Mrs Skinner said. ‘No longer will it be left to childcare operators to decide whether to enrol or refuse an unimmunised child. ‘This new legislation makes it very clear what must happen and, while we expect a very high level of compliance from childcare operators, there will be provision for fines should operators not comply. This legislation puts the onus squarely on parents and guardians to either show proof of vaccination or provide an approved exemption, which can only be granted after counselling by a GP or nurse immuniser.’

Drawing the line on Leard State Forest Graeme Williams

Deep in the Leard State Forest in north-west NSW, something massive is stirring. Whitehaven Coal – under the direction of ex-Nationals leader Mark Vaile – is set to construct the Maules Creek mine, decimating local farming communities and critically endangered woodland in the process. The deep pits cut into the rich black agricultural soils, for which the region is famed, risk dropping the underground water table by 5–7 metres. At the headwaters of three sub-catchments of the Namoi River, it is a place where the waters begin. Water, our most precious resource, is once again under attack. Leard State Forest, near Narrabri, is considered a national biodiversity hotspot and home to over 395 native species. Maules Creek mine will turn 1,600 hectares of this rare forest and surround-

OVERWHELMED BY YOUR TREES?

ing farmland into an opencut coal pit. If Whitehaven Coal gets their way, they will mine climate-altering coal 24 hours a day – with potentially devastating impacts on several threatened and vulnerable species, including the masked owl and koala. The only thing standing between that forest and the bulldozers is community.

Stopping dozers Despite approval by former Labor environment minister Tony Burke and financial support from the ANZ bank, a community campaign against the Maules Creek mine has severely delayed construction. Farmers and environmentalists have united to stop bulldozers clearing the forest for mine construction work. Many have never been involved in a protest before. All feel they are doing what our government should be doing. Phil Laird, fifth-generation farmer from Maules

Creek and unlikely environmental campaigner, has been fighting the mine proposal for years. In deep National Party heartland, Laird has been transformed into a legendary forest crusader. Mine construction is due to start in early January and concerns about the impact of the mines on nearby farmland and livelihoods has driven Laird and his neighbours to send a plea for broader public help. ‘If you don’t protect this, where do you draw the line?’ says Laird.

Camaraderie Protest, or better-termed ‘protector’, camps are infused with a strong sense of camaraderie and the people are typically generous and warmhearted. One of the most reassuring aspects of being involved in a community protest camp is the opportunity for everyone to contribute in a way that’s comfortable for them. Some people get involved in peace-

ful (and often creative) direct actions, others help with essential chores like preparing food and maintaining equipment, while some simply visit to bear witness or to donate vital supplies. It is now only ordinary citizens like you and I who can stop Whitehaven Coal and their plans to destroy Leard State Forest. From protests aimed at the company’s shareholders, customers divesting from the ANZ bank and by ordinary citizens holding up site construction work. It takes a whole community to win a campaign like this, and the handful of committed activists on the frontline need tangible support. To get involved, contact Ahri Tallon on 0423 515 941. The Gasfield Free Byron Shire group is hosting a community information night on Saturday January 11, 6–8pm at the Mullumbimby Civic Hall. Campaigner Ahri Tallon will be speaking.

West Byron ‘will be overwhelming’ tropical trends

HOME DESIGNS

Dailan Pugh

It is time to lobby Ballina MP Don Page if you want any changes to the proposed West Byron suburb before it is approved by the NSW minister for planning Brad Hazard. West Byron will result in a 25 per cent increase in the population of Byron BaySuffolk Park and will place massive burdens upon our already stretched infrastructure (roads, sewerage and schools) as well as the Belongil estuary and our local koala population. The Department of Planning and Infrastructure (DPI) is determined to rezone the 108ha site along Ewingsdale Road to residential (R2&R3), industrial (IN2) and business (B1), with areas in the vicinity of Belongil Creek and on the periphery zoned for environmental protection (E2&E3).

Small lot sizes The DPI claims this will allow for up to 1,100 houses, though with minimum lot sizes of 150m2 there could be more than this. No minimum lot size is proposed for commercial areas, though the plans allow for at least 70 industrial lots and 40 shops. The land is to the south of Ewingsdale Road, from Inghams through to the bridge across Belongil Creek. About half the land is owned by the Crighton Group, with the balance owned by Gousse Holdings Pty Ltd, Telicove Pty Ltd, and Fletcher Project Developments Pty Ltd, along with a few smaller individual landholdings. The Crighton Group is an aged-care and property development group made up of 15 companies (including Crighton Byron) that collapsed in April and now has administrators appointed to liquidate their assets. The plans have been modified since they were first exhibited in late 2011. DPI received 405 submissions, of which 245 supported the development. As a result one proposed development area

adjacent to the Belongil estuary has been removed, the commercial areas reduced by 10ha and the residential areas expanded by 5.5 ha. Residential lot sizes have been significantly reduced (with lot sizes reduced to 200m2 for most of Belongil Fields, and lots as small as 150m2 permitted) so as to allow an overall increase in the scale of the development. Most objections, including many concerns raised by government agencies, were either ignored or dismissed.

Breaking point The proposal is contrary to the 2007 Far North Coast Regional Strategy as Byron Bay already has more than enough land zoned for development to satisfy its growth targets until after 2031. This development will stretch our infrastructure to breaking point. Something like a 20 per cent increase in vehicles trying to get into town along Ewingsdale Road will turn traffic jams into a nightmare. The capacity of the sewage treatment plant will rapidly be exceeded. The primary school will soon be bursting at the seams. This development along the main entry to town will diminish the small-town feel

and atmosphere of Byron Bay which contributes to our tourism appeal, and when combined with increasing traffic jams will be detrimental to our tourism industry. The development of a light industrial area in what should be a 300m setback from Inghams will quickly lead to conflicts and likely force the closure of Inghams and the 300 jobs it provides. Though there will be more jobs in the building industry.

Acid soils Three-quarters of the site has acid sulfate soils which become toxic when drained. The proposed drain will generate sulphuric acid and cause the mobilisation of toxic metals, and thus have dire consequences for the health of the Belongil estuary and its inhabitants. Core koala habitat, an essential link through Sunrise between Tyagarah and Cumbebin koala groups, will be cleared, isolated and surrounded by development. The vulnerable Masked Owl, Olongburra Frog and Wallum Froglet will also lose significant areas of habitat. Development of a spur jutting into fire-prone vegetation and of flood-prone land will create hazardous situa-

tions for many new residents. In an era of rapidly rising sea levels it will not take long for the estuary to start rising, flooding low lying areas, displacing fresh groundwater, and exacerbating flood events. It is not a wise place to develop when other options are available.

It is evident that DPI is deaf to community and environmental concerns and have no intention of addressing key issues before they recommend that the minister for planning approve the development. If you have concerns then you are best to let our government representative Don Page know (ballina@parliament.nsw.gov.au) and ask him to ensure that rezoning is postponed until: t BO FČ FDUJWF TPMVUJPO UP traffic congestion on Ewingsdale Road is implemented; t UIF JNQBDUT PG UIF QSP posed drain on acid sulfate soils and the Belongil estuary are fully assessed; and t IJT QSPNJTF PG UXP ZFBST ago to require a koala plan of management is honoured. You have until the end of January to comment on the plans. Exhibition documents are at http://bit.ly/westbp.

Shark culling protests Byron Bay residents were among thousands across the nation who protested on Saturday over WA’s proposal to cull sharks. Under Liberal premier Colin Barnett, baited drum lines will be set and sharks over three metres will be killed, including the endangered great white.

The aggressive policy is in response to six fatal attacks in WA waters over the past two years, yet questionable science, if any, surrounds the decision. A 2011 CSRIO research paper entitled Changing patterns of shark attacks in Australian waters says, ‘The risk of a fatality from shark attack in Australia remains low,’ and

the rise in Australian shark attacks, ‘coincides with an increasing human population’. The ABC reported over 4,000 people gathered to protest at Perth’s Cottesloe Beach, which is in Mr Barnett’s electorate. For more, see Sharon Shostak’s video at www. echonetdaily.net.au. Q See editorial page 10

Japanese whaling ships now being pursued Sea Shepherd says it has located all five vessels of the Japanese whale-poaching fleet, including the Japanese factory ship, the Nisshin Maru. The Steve Irwin’s helicopter says it located the Nisshin Maru in New Zealand’s sovereign waters and inside the internationally recognised Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary. Footage of three dead protected Minke whales on the deck of the Nisshin Maru was taken at the time the factory ship was first located. A fourth whale was being butchered on the bloodstained deck. Captain of The Bob Barker, Peter Hammarstedt, said, ‘Once again, the Japanese government has shown flagrant disregard for international law by continuing their illegal whale hunt while the world patiently awaits a decision from the International Court of Justice. The Japanese government’s dishonourable attempt the skirt the

legal process is an insult to the co-operation demonstrated by people around the world, dedicated to enacting conservation laws out of a shared recognition for the need for environmental protection.’ The Japanese whaling fleet, which operates in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary, is in contravention of the 1986 global moratorium on commercial whaling and uses the guise of ‘scientific research’ to commercially kill whales. In June 2013, the government of New Zealand joined the Australian government’s challenge to the legality of Japan’s whale hunt in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary at the International Court of Justice. A judgment on the case is yet to be delivered. The conservation action group has also accused the Australian government of reneging on a promise to monitor Japanese whaling.

Libs raise another scalpel to Medicare

Volume 28 #30

January 7, 2014

Dinosaur of the week This week, The Echo is proud to introduce Liberal premier of Western Australia, Colin Barnett, as the first troglodyte in our new occasional column: Political dinosaur of the week. Prerequisites to be included in this column are an inclination to wreck pristine environments and act against conventional science, open transparency, human rights, basic decency and ethical behaviour. So, who is Colin? This 63-year-old former economics lecturer and barbarian was elected to public office in 1990. He represents the WA Perth electorate of Cottesloe and retained his seat in 2013 with an impressive 64.7 per cent. But ever since taking office, he has racked up a formidable list of accomplishments that hark back to the dark ages. In 2010, his new drug laws made cannabis cultivation a crime in that state, among other draconian measures. His contention that marijuana is a gateway drug that leads to harder drugs is incorrect, it’s more of a drive-through drug that leads to cheeseburgers and fries. Barnett the barbarian also doesn’t like education, having refused Gonski reforms. But his pièce de résistance was last week annoying almost the entire country, including Byron residents, with his stone-age plan to cull sharks. Every prehistoric predator over three metres will be shot and disposed of at sea if they come within one kilometre of his coastline. Bravo! Klling off an endangered species at the top of the food chain fits perfectly with the state of current politics. The likely result will draw a shiver of more sharks into a uncontrollable bloodied feeding frenzy. And just like politics, it will be a wholesale butchery on their brethren. Which would it be more interesting? Hans Lovejoy, editor

he trouble with the Liberals is that they just can’t keep their hands off it – Medicare, that is. While in opposition, in the lead-up to the election, Tony Abbott insisted that Medicare was sacrosanct; why, the Liberals were the best friends Medicare had ever had. But as soon his feet touched the ground as prime minister, Medicare was promptly unfriended. While there were no-go areas for his hand-picked Commission of Audit (his personal cornucopia, the Paid Parental Leave Scheme, being the most obvious) Abbott was happy to put Medicare on the operating table, a suitable subject for surgery. And already the pre-op sedation is well under way. Tony Byrne, who worked for Abbott during the PM’s spell as health minister, popped up with the suggestion that a good starting point might be to go back to the twice-rejected concept of a co-payment by patients for all appointments with their GPs – say about $6 a visit. Byrne’s proposal came as part of a paper prepared sometime in 2013 for the Australian Centre for Health Research, a think tank funded by and for the private health funds and private hospitals – the natural enemies of Medicare. As soon as the Commission of Audit was set up, the ACHR passed it up the line. Byrne professes to be surprised that this fortunate piece of timing has raised the suspicions of the defenders of Medicare; but if he is serious he is being extraordinarily naïve. The private health industry, through the Liberal Party, has a long history of trying to undo Medicare and its predecessor, Medibank, by stealth. Indeed, its opposition to

any form of public health dates back to the 1920s when the wealthy surgeon Earle Page – later to become federal health minister in the government of Robert Menzies – used to inveigh against the public hospital system, which, he claimed, was in unfair competition to the private hospitals – of which he himself owned several. These days the attack has to be a little more subtle: Labor’s pride and joy is too popular to tackle head on, but over time it can be brought to its knees, and it has been before. Gough Whitlam’s original proposals

This time the re-named Medicare had 13 years to settle. In the process it became one of the country’s most revered institutions, but to the Liberals it was still anathema; public health was supposed to be a safety net to catch those who could not afford the real thing, not the default position. The John Howard years saw the private sector encouraged, cosseted and subsidised in the hope that eventually Medicare would just wither away, but in the end it outlasted its opponents – though not without sustaining injury; the bulk bill-

The poor, it is assumed, misuse their GP, adding to public expense in ways the rich do not. by Mungo MacCallum for Medibank were ferociously resisted by the coalition of the day, which voted against them at every opportunity and egged on the more rabid elements of the medical profession, who saw it rather confusingly as both socialised medicine and a totalitarian measure designed to destroy the people’s health. The responsible minister, Bill Hayden, was regularly portrayed in publications by the AMA as a uniformed Nazi. Eventually the scheme was passed in a joint sitting of parliament following the double dissolution election of 1974, but the Whitlam government was out of office before it could be securely bedded down. His successor, Malcolm Fraser, promised faithfully to retain Medibank but spent the next eight years white-anting it to the extent that when Bob Hawke came to power in 1983 he virtually had to start again.

ing of patients, which was supposed to be the norm, increasingly became an exception, a gesture of charity meted out to the old and indigent. But it remained too prevalent for the real free-marketeers, who have enthusiastically embraced Byrne’s idea of a $6 co-payment. It might look like a token, the price, as they joke, of a cup of coffee or a glass of beer – free marketeers drink in expensive bars these days. But in practice it would be the thin edge of the wedge; the decisive step in the demise of the ideal of universal, tax-payer funded, health care. The economic, as opposed to the ideological, aim of the co-payment is allegedly to reduce the mounting cost of health care driven by an ageing population and increasingly expensive technology: by putting a concrete price signal on obtaining medical advice,

so-called ‘unnecessary’ visits to the doctor would be discouraged. ‘Unnecessary’, incidentally, is not an adjective the rich use to describe their own consumption of scarce medical resources through elective and cosmetic surgery. But the poor, it is assumed, misuse their GP, adding to public expense in ways the rich do not. The theory is that if they or their families are genuinely sick, they will be prepared to make the financial sacrifice the co-payment demands, or, if they don’t, the emergency system of the public hospitals will pick up the pieces. At first the actual budgetary gains would be minimal – barely covering the costs of administering the new system. But over time the co-payment could unobtrusively grow bigger, and bigger, until Medicare as we know and love it would cease to exist. Of course there is a better, fairer, way: simply increase the existing Medicare levy on taxable income. Double it if necessary. That way the progressive tax system would ensure that the extra cost burden would be shared equitably between rich and poor. And the political pain would be easily containable: experience has shown that Australians are quite willing to pay for a world’s best-practice health system when the facts are clearly and honestly put before them. But to go down this path would be to endorse and preserve the public health system, and this, to use a favourite phrase of Tony Abbott’s, is not something that is in the Liberal DNA: never has been, never will be.

Letters Bangalow DA Unfortunately the proposal for a high-density building next to the A&I Hall in Bangalow, which you rightly report in your editorial of December 17 was ‘fought off ’, is back on the books, somewhat altered in appearance but otherwise much the same as that rejected by all councillors in April 2013. One doesn’t have to look too hard to see that the changes are largely cosmetic and the original reasons for refusal by Council still stand, essentially that the bulk and scale of the building ‘is likely to have a negative impact on the built environment of the locality’ and ‘is likely to detract from the character and appearance of the Bangalow Heritage Precinct’ (minutes of ordinary meeting, April 18, 2013). The footprint of the building has not been reduced, it still covers most of three blocks and while the developer claims to have removed the top (third) storey; in fact there are ‘attics’ protruding from the roof and the eight apartments above three shops can hardly be considered ‘shop-top housing’ as recommended in the Bangalow Settlement Strategy. The other concerns expressed by the

community at last year’s public meeting are also still valid. Residents can inspect the DA – 10.2013.570.1 – in the Council Chambers and I’d urge those who value and want to preserve Bangalow’s heritage character to sign the petition and make their views known to our councillors before January 17. I think we all realise that approval of this DA would set a very dangerous precedent. Jenny Coman Bangalow

Hordes descend The hordes of people descending on Byron and Brunswick are beyond the pale. It’s almost impossible for locals to get in and out of Byron and Brunswick is un-recognisable with hundreds of festival goers hogging the cafes and ATM. Byron is over-sold, overpromoted and the few who benefit financially do so at a huge price to the community. I recently spent some time in Honolulu on business and as I know the city well. I was appalled by the current state which is the future of Byron Shire unless something is done to stop the over-selling.

Everything unique and special about Honolulu has gone, replaced with ‘tourist attractions’. Locals have been pushed out and the only real employment opportunities are now serving the endless stream of tourists. To give approval to the Falls Festival at a time when Byron and Bruns are already bursting at the seams with holiday-makers is nothing but madness and gross irresponsibility on the part of the state government and our useless council. Any suggestion that Byron is a green shire is absolute crap. According to the Telegraph, Byron now has a reputation as one of the most violent places in the state.

Green dreams break on the rocks at Belongil Q I would like to respond to the comments made on the way I voted in Council to continue the process towards replacing present geo bags with rock revetment protection works in order to repair and protect beach accesses and three public roads which are now in urgent need of repairs at Belongil. The Coastal Panel was not the determining authority and as such they were required to provide comment to Council. They did not rule against the report and their points were addressed accordingly by the consultants and staff. Ultimately, Council is the determining authority and therefore it was our responsibility to make a decision on

the viability of the report. I am confident every aspect was covered by Council’s consultants and I’m satisfied all the points were addressed reasonably. I believe it is imprudent to continue using inferior measures when a more efficient and affordable alternative is available. Expert advice from the UNSW Water Research Laboratory was that for a short seawall between two existing longer seawalls there would be minimal incremental difference in alongshore erosion, therefore shorebird roosting and nesting sites would be minimally affected. The main advantages of rock seawalls are that they offer a higher level of land protection and have a longer

life and lower maintenance. Specialist engineers agree that the effect on the beach is the same whether the protection works are sand bags or rocks. The largest of the three sites is at Manfred Street and is 103 metres in length. This was costed at $838,000 with free rocks from the RTA site. However, if you were to subtract from that figure the cost of rock removal from the beach of $175,000, which could be said to be far less than repair and replacement yearly of the failing geo bags, this total would come to $663,000. With the promised state government grant I can hardly see what all the fuss is about. We would be able to provide a formalised safe access to the beach and repair to Council’s road, which is reasonable since it would have a higher level of protection from further erosion. The Greens policy is for ‘managed retreat’ and I agree that we do need to ‘manage’ our retreat. However, I think we need to walk a middle path and a ‘one-size-fits-all’ policy is bound to fail. In these changing climatic times we need to be adaptive and continued from page 11 will crash like a stoner after one too many. But seriously, our species is notoriously poor at taking precautions today against tomorrow’s consequences. Dangerously rising greenhouse gases are just one of the assaults on the life-support systems of our planet that some environmental scientists say amount to a war against nature; an immensely profitable war. Like booze-soaked adolescents, the greed-intoxicated corporate profiteers don’t give a stuff about the morning after. The awful truth is that this

have read on a couple of occasions now that the Belongil landowners funded the pro-business group who voted for the rock walls. Since those remarks have been directed at those of us who did vote to fill in the 130 metres (approximately) of missing rock protection, I would like to inform those poor misguided fools that our election result was not as a result of Belongil landowners’ funding, and would like to remind said misinformed fools that there was an even more important planning decision pending at the time of the election, and that was the new proposed Local Environment Plan with all of its restrictive E zones and their potential consequences to landowners. This was far more impor-

tant to many people than the current issue facing the few said landowners at Belongil. I would also like to remind some of those misguided and ill-informed experts that we are currently in the process of spending millions of dollars to repair landslips caused by erosion, so that the community who live there can continue to have access to their homes (as they should), and no-one is batting an eyelid. The ‘Green Dream’ has been an extremely expensive experiment. Housing is more unaffordable, traffic and roads in a mess, and our finances in a bad way. None of the practices employed has had anything to do with the protection of our very important environment which we all agree needs our attention and dedication, and the major issues we should be concentrating on are left waving in the breeze. Perhaps a wider view of a bigger picture would be better than the narrow view continually being voiced by a couple of people who represent only a minority group in our community.

is happening when governments are explicitly ceding our sovereignty to corporations. Abbott’s ‘open for business’ mantra says it all. We are entering a time when the narrow and nasty interests of corporations are being codified into enforceable, international agreements which will explicitly privilege corporate profits above community welfare. The TransPacific Partnership, driven by the US government on behalf of US multinationals, contains provisions which will enable corporations to sue governments for losses of expected profits if those

governments act to constrain corporations for our common good. So forget carbon taxes, constraints on tobacco or alcohol advertising or packaging. The very existence of public health and education systems could be challenged. David Lovejoy’s article (Echo, December 31) is a cameo of life under the TPP. A fuller vision of such a dystopia is Terry Gilliam’s film masterpiece Brazil. If the subordinate countries in the negotiations (Australia as usual the first to prostrate itself) agree to US demands and the TPP

comes into force, then we will be subject to laws which will place corporations above individuals and the community not just in fact but in law. In exchange, corporations are being required to exercise the state’s illicit, coercive power against individuals who have annoyed or embarrassed it.

I do not think having a half a dozen homes dangling from a cliff with all of their contents, building materials, asbestos, etc being added to waste in our oceans is managing our retreat very well. I am very supportive of opening up discussion to public debate. I would like to see a ‘critical conversation’ at the community centre in early February to present experts’ opinions on both sides of the issue so that the public can be fully informed.

Science and the art of belief Q In response to Mungo’s article ‘Accepting the science that suits us’ (Echo, December 17, 2013) – encouraging healthy scepticism is to be congratulated but the only wise sceptic is an open one. He might be doing exactly what he is accusing ‘Byronites’ of doing. After entering work as a medical scientist enthusiastically, ready to help people find cures, I left whole-heartedly disappointed in the manipulation of outcomes in trials to suit drug company interests. After one manipulation of a drug trial I was working on, I went to my senior consultant who shrugged his shoulders and said, ‘We need the money.’ (The lab was part of a public university-affiliated hospital.) This twisting of the scientific facts was also illustrated

in a paper published in the New England Journal of Medicine which reviewed all studies into antidepressants ever submitted to the US Food and Drug Administration in 2004, published and unpublished. ‘In the published literature, anti-depressants had 94 per cent success in treating depression. In the withheld literature, they had below 50 per cent success.’ – Turner & Matthews. Combined, all studies showed 51 per cent efficacy – only two points better than that of placebo. When Mungo says ‘the science is in’ he should consider that the race has been fixed. Writers such as Ray Moynihan, who specialise in medical science investigative journalism, do a great job, uncovering facts rather than merely expressing flamboy-

that, he alleges, cooperated in his torture. Banks are not just corporations, they are necessary civil institutions that exist to serve the whole community. That the state can cut off a citizen, who has been convicted of no crime, from access to the institutions of civil society: this is to enter a dark age.

So, off to the front line armed with our half-MOs. We have few other defences left. Adrian Gattenhof Mullumbimby

Policing farce Violence in the streets of Byron Bay! Blame the police? The official policy of the

ant opinion. Believing scientific information just because it is published is like believing a politician just because they are in office. Sandra Davey Mullumbimby Q Congratulations to John Travis on his qualifications in wellness studies (Letters, December 31, 2013). I’m sure those he supports are cheering from the choir, but the academic equivalent of ‘mine is bigger than yours’ doesn’t cut it as argument. In any case, fluoridation is only one of the topics addressed by Mungo of what is called by some as voodoo science. It is not surprising that the level of dental decay in those parts of Europe which fluoridated their supplies up to the

NSW Police Force is to ignore drunk and disorderly behaviour but prosecute possession of harmless drugs like ecstasy. Take the Field Day, a New Year’s Day dance party at the Domain in Sydney, as a typical example. The police say the crowd of 20,000 (six times the number that gathered at Byron’s Main Beach)

level of those where it naturally exists at that level is the same. Using deceptive arguments reminds me of those Merchants of Doubt described by Oreskes and Conway in their book of the same name. Highly qualified scientists obscured the truth about such matters as the links of tobacco smoke and health, and the reality of global warming, by manipulating the peer review process. An internet search reveals that John Travis is accomplished in the art of self-promotion. It would be good to be able to find some independent confirmation. John Purssey Mullumbimby

Middle-East conflict the legacy of a promise from God? Local resident Jenny Bush recounts her view of the Israel/Palestine struggle.

E

very day we hear from another person who has either lost or is being threatened with the loss of his/her home/land/livelihood purely on the basis that he/ she is not a Jew. Apparently being a Jew depends on who one’s mother/grandmother/ great grandmother or even great aunt is or was. I have every right to live in Tel Aviv or East or West Jerusalem or in fact in any of the settlements (illegal under international law) despite the fact that I was born in Australia and have an Australian passport and neither I nor my ancestors have ever in fact previously set foot in Israel/ Palestine. Those who do not have my lineage or even a much more tenuous maternal connection cannot live in those places or travel on highways (different colour number plates) or even retain the land that has been in their family for generations, for which they

have legal title dating back through various occupying forces. One farmer has a title from the Ottoman, then the British, then the Jordanians and lastly even the Israelis, but no permit to build is allowed, so the family lives in caves on the 100 acres they legitimately hold. They are provided with no services, no water or electricity and the road to the property is blocked with large boulders, so we had to walk the last 500 metres. Shortly the eight-metre-high apartheid wall will be extended to cut them off from Bethlehem, their only source of employment or family or education for their children or health service. They are determined to continue and so far, with the help of various international agencies’ support, including Jews for Justice in Palestine who bought and replanted 250 olive trees cut down by the settlers, they remain with their mad optimism that one day there will be peace and equality. I’m afraid I didn’t share their hope as I viewed the

not have to undergo several waiting hours and be treated like a lump of shit. I have learned so much and still understand so little about what is happening here. We spent the first day with Jeff Halper, an American Israeli national, director of Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions (ICAHD). He walked us through Jerusalem old city with lots of stories, jokes and boundless information about the history both ancient and modern of Jerusalem. I have walked in the refugee camps, I have seen the

apartheid wall winding its way through towns cutting one side off from the other, I have talked to the Palestinians and the Israelis and witnessed their opposing and blind ways of seeing the world. The Israelis with their privilege, their indoctrinated fear, the Palestinians with their oppression, their humiliation, their crazy optimism, their perpetual intimidation. I have demonstrated with Women in Black in the middle of West Jerusalem. holding my sign saying ‘End the Occupation’ high while drivers give us the finger, tooting

tor Stuart Bell said, ‘We will continue to run these operations to ensure music-lovers can attend festivals and enjoy themselves in a safe, drugfree environment’, which really means ‘We will use force to ensure that the only drug pushers available to music

lovers are the official statesponsored alcohol pushers. And we will persecute anyone who consumes anything less harmful. PS: Even if you get drunk and aggressive we’ll let you go.’ The police should be demanding drug law reform instead of allowing this farce to continue. Brian Lawry Brunswick Heads

Mandela’s support In all the eulogies heaped upon Nelson Mandela there was one significant omission: his unstinting support for the Palestinians. He said,

‘Apartheid is a crime against humanity. Israel has deprived millions of Palestinians of their liberty and property. It has perpetuated a system of gross racial discrimination and inequality. It has systematically incarcerated and tortured thousands of Palestinians, contrary to the rules of international law. It has, in particular, waged a war against a civilian population, in particular children.’ Maybe this explains why among the 70-odd world leaders attending Mandela’s funeral Israel was conspicuously absent.

surrounding hills. The ‘Tent of Nations’, as they call their collection of caves, stood isolated among hills covered in Truman Show type communities blocked off from the world by their red roofs, stolen 500-year-old olive trees transplanted into the centre of roundabouts for decoration, fountains spurting water in the most arid of lands, and razor-wire fences. I have had tears in my eyes several times as I walk through the 100-metre cage that is the checkpoint between Jerusalem and the West Bank, even though I do

roam the streets, drink more and harass the unsuspecting public. Whereas the wellbehaved non-alcoholic drug takers are criminalised. In a hilarious corruption of reality Chief Inspec-

their horn and yelling abuse. I have to say there is the occasional wave of support and our spirits are uplifted after we are joined by a group of percussionists drumming their hearts out and giving us something to jump around to. The highways here are modern, with overpasses and underpasses just like a German autobahn. Only difference is that on each side is a wall, and if not a wall then a fence piled high with several rolls of razor wire. The Palestinians who live on the other side have roads that meet the highway but cannot cross. There are endless such stories. Each day we hear ever more painful stories from a range of Jewish activists and victimised Palestinians. Some about their imminent eviction from the home their family has lived in for generations, some who are engaged in struggles for peace and the end to an apartheid regime. As someone said to me, Zionism is a secular movement that insists on Jewish supremacy in this land of Israel/Palestine, but how can a secular movement base its justification for the right to land on the belief that the land was promised to them by God? It’s a puzzle.

Liquid Chlorophyll - a true wonder food

Byron Bay Macadamia Muesli

Liquid Chlorophyll is a true wonder food. Being the life blood of all green plants it has an almost identical molecular structure to haemoglobin except for the centre atom. In haemoglobin it is iron, in chlorophyll, it’s magnesium. This afďŹ nity may help both new cell growth and iron absorption, increasing oxygen and energy.

We love the sun, the surf, good quality additive-free food and a healthy lifestyle.

Chrorophyll is an antioxidant, alkaliser and deodoriser and may prevent body odour, alleviate bad breath, support digestion, accelerate the clearance of toxins from the liver, improve colonisation of good bacteria and relieve inammatory conditions. Available at Amcal Plaza Pharmacy, Jonson St, Byron Bay

Reflected Impressions exhibition at Lone Goat Gallery When living in Sydney, Wendy’s very first exhibition was opened by Lloyd Rees, who described her paintings as very exciting. Her last exhibition before moving overseas and then to Byron Bay was favourably received by the SMH critic.

They have now collaborated to exhibit a wonderful collection of their art. Wendy’s studio overlooks Tallow Lake and her paintings portray the moods and the seasons of this area. Each of Candy’s dyed works are individual and unique pieces, imprinted with natural materials. There is something for everyone in this exhibition, from paintings to silk scarves, cushions, Merino tunics and beautiful handmade journals and cards. 2–15 January at the Lone Goat Gallery in the Library Complex, Lawson St, Byron Bay.

APART FROM THE ODD KIWI JOKE, THERE IS LITTLE SEPARATION BETWEEN NEW ZEALAND AND AUSTRALIA. IN FACT IF YOU ARE TALENTED ENOUGH WE ARE QUITE HAPPY TO CLAIM YOU AS OUR OWN. NEW ZEALAND NEW WAVE ROCK BAND MI-SEX DEFINITELY FALLS INTO THAT CATEGORY, WITH HITS SUCH AS COMPUTER GAMES, BLUE DAY, GRAFFITI CRIMES ‌ THEY ARE SYNONYMOUS WITH AUSTRALIAN ROCK NOSTALGIA. The band had a huge impact and yet it lasted only six years. Frontman Steve Gilpin died tragically in a car crash in 1992, so one would have thought the prospect of ‘getting the band back together’ an impossible task. But not so for remaining Mi-Sex members Murray Burns, Phil Smart, Paul Dunningham and Colin Bayley and, with former Noiseworks frontman the irrepressible Steve Balbi front and centre, it’s no surprise that the newly reformed Mi-Sex (since 2011) have been smashing it up ever since. Even the sudden onstage collapse of keyboardist and longtime local resident Murray Burns has not deterred Mi-Sex from getting together and performing a few times a year. Almost fully recovered, Burns is delighted to be back on stage after his stroke two years ago. Stroke is an unusual word to use. It’s quite a passive and gentle feeling – you quietly go to sleep over five minutes, except we were on stage in front of 5,000 people – I was playing and then I got to a song and I thought I can’t start, I can’t play this. The drummer and guitarist had both noticed and grabbed me before I hit the deck’. Ironically, it was Burns’s onstage collapse that perhaps saved his life, as medical treatment was accessed immediately. He then began the slow and arduous trek to recovery. Burns credits the experience and his recovery as a life changing experience. ‘I thought I was better than I was – and then I realised a few days after I was awake I couldn’t walk or talk very well. Even though I couldn’t do that I still felt safe and I felt that things were going to be okay. It was a slow six weeks to learn to walk and talk again. I embraced it because I knew I was not in a great place and I had amazing people around me, friends, people in hospital. As much as it was not a great place to be it was a fantastic place to be. I had a chance to have a good look at myself and I am definitely a better person for it.’

So how does it feel getting the band back together? It feels very organic. It will probably have its own lifespan. We are all really involved with music in our own ways; we all have our own projects; so it takes a lot of coordination because we all have so much going on. 2014 is a major focus in our lives. We will do a bit of recording; we all have our own recording studios so it seems like the natural thing to do, and Colin and I have been working on specific songs for the band to play. But basically we are all bringing things to the table.’ Ever since the demise of Mi-Sex, the songwriting partnership of Burns and Bayley has continued with the pair ‘throwing songs down the line’. Having composed many musical scores for TV and film, the two are enjoying being back in the zone of writing Mi-Sex tunes. ‘Colin and I have been furiously writing songs for the last 20 years. It’s really cool that we are doing it for Mi-Sex again and playing to people who are mostly 40-plus. You can tell some of them never saw us in our day. They were about 11 and they saw us on Countdown so it’s great to come out and see us live. As far as playing Mi-Sex again, it was something we thought that if we don’t do now we’ll never do it!’ One of the greatest challenges was finding a frontman capable of filling Gilpin’s shoes. ‘Steve died in 1992; we had stopped touring in 1987, but Steve was a massive part of our lives‌ he still comes to me in my dreams.’ Steve Balbi is the new frontperson, giving Mi-Sex a distinctive new flavour. ‘We re-formed accidentally. The four of us never thought we would play again. Don had a birthday coming along and he said he’d like to play for his party and got Steve to sing for us and it worked. Steve Balbi loved getting to be a front guy without a guitar and said this is the best fun. He took on Steve’s persona but did his own thing. I think Steve Gilpin would be rapt!’ Burns believes that as a musician you have to take the opportunities when they come your way, and with Rolling Stones as inspiration it’s a reminder that there’s actually no official ‘stopping age’. ‘Once you hit 50 you are on the other side of the fence, everything is moving so fast – but being a musician is clearly healthy for your ego‌ it keeps you on the youthful side!’ jokes Burns. Mi-Sex play the Bangalow Bowlo on Sunday. Tickets at the venue.

songs from his successful one-man show 2012 Love Come Save Me album, the songs he made famous with The Beautiful Girls and songs of other writers and performers that have inspired him. So now it is back into the summer culture that the music of Mat McHugh embodies and delights in as Mat and his musical companions take to the road for what will be very special performances on the Summer Come Save Me Tour. Saturday at the Hotel Great Northern.

KAYE AT THE RAILS Things have been cranking for Nathan Kaye after his sold-out tour with Pete Murray last year. This year not only will Nathan be supporting Birds of Tokyo in February; he will be acting the lead role in a feature film being shot over the next couple of months. This summer he’s had dates spanning festivals and venues in most states in Australia in many cities and remote regional towns. Kaye intends to uplift and motivate crowds to embrace being alive and celebrate life’s gift. Who doesn’t love that vibe?

UNITY SOUND This Saturday, two custom-built reggae sound systems meet at Durrumbul Hall for a massive afternoon and night of dub, roots, digital and steppers music called UNITY. Melbourne’s System Unknown have driven north with their custom-built sound system and full crew to give the northern rivers a taste of sound-system culture. They will be playing alongside Byron Bay’s Solidarity Sound, who have built their own speaker boxes and created a bass-heavy reggae sound system. System Unknown and Solidarity Sound will be playing head to head, with each system playing an hour at a time, until later in the night when they will be playing tune for tune. Also appearing on Solidarity Sound will be singers Simon Jerrems (lead singer of Fyah Walk), Jaminglish (UK) and Dougy (France). A healthy Caribbean barbecue and refreshing drinks will be available all afternoon. UNITY takes place at Durrumbul Hall Mullumbimby from 3pm Saturday to 1am Sunday. Tickets are $10 presale or $12 on the door. In the leadup to UNITY the two sounds will be warming things up on Thursday at Kulchajam in the Byron Bay industrial estate from 7pm.

Tickets on sale now.

STARBOARD CANNONS FIRE OFF THIS SATURDAY AT THE BILLI

A BEAUTIFUL THING Since the fateful evening on which Mat McHugh decided that playing an open mic night was the way to win the girl of his dreams to his current Summer Come Save Me tour of 2014, the path has been adventurous, winding and often unexpected. The vehicle for Mat’s initial musical musings was The Beautiful Girls, whose rapid success with his songs and the recordings he made of them led to great reviews, tours, travel, international performances, meetings with heroes, dalliances with villains and an exploration of what was important as a human being, an artist and a man. Fast forward to 2013 where Mat returned to tour the USA and his beloved South America for live performances during which an exploration of all Mat’s musical adventures came together. While playing live he found a variety of comfortable ways, from solo acoustic to hard-hitting soundsystem-with-beats, to deliver the

Hot off the stomping, hairy heels of Ash Grunwald’s Gargantua album release and tour with Scott and Andy from The Living End, Ash is back, live and loopy, at the Hotel Brunswick with a special performance with his comrades in arms. Playing with Scott and Andy – one of the country’s most skilled rhythm sections, Ash has been forced to step things up and do something he’d never done before – practise! The excitement of the challenge – the fear almost of playing with two such musical entities – spawned in Ash a passion for musical LISA HUNT AT THE self-betterment he hadn’t felt since BEACH HOTEL ON that all-consuming, all-too-common SUNDAY teenage obsession of wanting to become the greatest musician in the world. Catch this awesome musical collaboration at the Hotel Brunswick on Thursday. Free gig!

It was a busy year for Byron Bay’s Pacha Mamma and frontman Micka Scene. Releasing their debut album Piece Together Peace, which was recorded in Montreal, Canada, and Byron Bay, and a 3-month, 17,000km, 35-date tour of Canada and Micka’s two-month solo tour of France.

or is being fat a subversive action in itself? Does a woman’s size somehow disallow her from political comment? Kim Beazley was fat. Russ Hinze was fat. Robert Menzies was fat. Is being fat a consequence not just of overindulgence but also of aberrant femaleness? Are fat women less like women then thin women? What is so hateful about a fat woman with an attitude? Can only beautiful thin women have opinions? I mean if you are thin and beautiful, I guess you don’t need an opinion (that’s the inference I take from the use of ‘fat’ as an insult). I have nothing against beautiful thin women; I’ve been one from time to time. What I do have a problem with is that the negative critiques on my commentary on Tony Abbott’s long litany of social and political injustices don’t address any of the points I have made, but instead sledge me for being fat. What does that say about Tony Abbott supporters? I guess along with hating women, blacks, refugees, gays, the disabled, the poor, whales, nature, the Great Barrier Reef they now also have it in for fat people.

A Night in the Kingswood Excited to be home after a stint in the US, Kingswood have teamed up with Calling All Cars and are back on the road with new single Sucker Punch in hand. Flying in from a studio in Nashville, the gritty indie rock four-piece from Melbourne had a chat with The Echo about their upcoming Byron gig. Do you think there’s something different to a run of summer gigs? What kind of spirit do they have in comparison to the live shows you do at other times of the year? That is the most interesting question I’ve ever been asked, so well done! Contrary to what you might think, we detest the summer. This is because we all wear boots, extremely tight jeans, thick flannel shirts, denim vests, ties and thick leather jackets when we play, so we overheat. Winter gigs are the best. How was the US? Were they open to your particular sound? Had they ever heard of a Kingswood? The US was amazing. We spent most of our time in Nashville, so we changed our set a bit to include Ring of Fire and Sweet Home Alabama. And we changed our name to El Camino when we were there because who has heard of a Kingswood. Tell me about recording with Vance Powell in Nashville. How did that come about? Recording with Vance was both foreign and great. We recorded the album to tape, which was in itself an incredible learning experience. This, along with the huge

E N T E R T A I N M E N T

s r a t S WITH LILITH Retrograde Venus spends the whole of January assessing relationships: culling those we’ve outgrown, honing and refining personal and professional partnerships for more beneficial outcomes…

E ARIES: This year’s lessons are deep, wonderful and can’t be rushed. You’ll meet your demons face to face and learn to handle them with grace. Key operating strategy? Pace, Not Race – as in slowing down and finding the right timing. Research Aesop’s fable of the tortoise and the hare. F TAURUS: The planets of expansion and contraction, Jupiter and Saturn, squeeze you the first half of this year, stretch you the last half. But in a good way: condensing and intensifying conditions so you make changes, then rewarding you with expansive opportunities. Beginning with late-week Taurus moon… G GEMINI: Saturn finalising its two-year passage through your house of health and work recommends deleting time-wasting energydrainers. Which takes commitment and discipline – but small adjustments will have big effects on the template for a newer, happier, more successful you. Begin this week with one fresh resolution… H CANCER: This liberating year lifts limitations from Cancerian attitudes if you’re prepared to do some ruthless self-examination during the first few months – so worth it when midyear Jupiter hits your house of finances. Decide this week what you want more of, and what less of.

I LEO: Your majesty’s 2014 mantra? Less Is More. As in less stress equals more fun. Less work, more play. And in between, get plenty of rest. Choose what makes your heart sing rather than sink, and what you enjoy doing: which this week might be as little as possible. J VIRGO: Right now this year’s busy, later on you can kick back and cruise. As things come together this week, check that your goals and objectives are current rather than retro. And whether your choices about where you’re prepared to spend your time, finances and emotional energy need revamping… K LIBRA: This week sends you back to the drawing board to update and put into place simple, elegant changes to enrich your life. Meanwhile, the present dynamic between social planets Jupiter and Saturn call for sensitive attention to the details of all personal and community interactions. L SCORPIO: This year deepens relationships, highlighting how to support others while being clear about what you need from them. Retro Venus wants a reassessment of personal and professional partners, with special attention to whether they share your values, and if they’re willing to work through tough times…

elements of blues, jazz and funk to create a soulful, soothing sound that is distinctly his own. Marcus may be a relative newcomer to the professional music scene but he is already turning heads amongst music fans with his catchy melodies, heartfelt lyrics and silky smooth singing voice as he was awarded the 2012 Deadly award for Most Promising New Talent in Music. He is at the Byron Brewery on Thursday, the Treehouse in Belongil on Saturday, and Sunday at Sphinx Rock Cafe.

demanded the attention and respect of the entire industry with its focus to raise awareness and much-needed funds for the less fortunate, as well as highlighting the importance of the human connection with nature. Using the Skydancer single as a tool, the group was able to raise money for three grassroots not-for-profit organisations based across different continents – giving the band the ability not only to support local organisations but also to make an impact on a global audience, spreading their message of positivity. Vocalist Jake Taylor explains: ‘The Skydancer Tour is a fantastic opportunity for us to travel off the beaten track into regional Australia. The remote towns we’re playing don’t usually get many shows so we’ll be making new ground. Ticket prices will be low and the venues will be small, and intimate... it’s going to be fun, just how hardcore’s meant YOUNG ROCK FOR YOU to be!’ Joining the crew are Sydney band INHEARTSWAKE present the Skydancer Tour – a new chapter Hand of Mercy and Hellions. for the Byron Bay group, having launched a single of the same name last month as part of a groundbreaking project. The project Saturday at the Byron YAC.

M SAGITTARIUS: This year needs a practical financial plan, because you’ll want adequate operating funds available when midyear Jupiter launches you into orbit. With Mars giving groups and social connections you’ve outgrown the flick, kick off this week by letting go of something you know you don’t need anymore. N CAPRICORN: Jupiter spends the next seven months overhauling and upgrading relationships. Bringing some to completion, while introducing other stellar newcomers into your private and professional cosmos. The year kicks off with Venus settled in Capricorn for a long stay, bringing more love into your life. Starting this week… O AQUARIUS: With Uranus in Aries igniting, inciting and inviting exciting new initiatives, your tolerance for same-old same-old is at an all-time low, making this the perfect time to fall in love with your life all over again – an enterprise supported by this year’s call for constant and consistent self-nourishment. P PISCES: This year’s cosmic conditions suggest working towards winding up obligations to personal and/or professional ties you’ve outgrown. Starting this week by being selective and discriminating – saying no thanks to offers that, no matter how alluring, aren’t in alignment with what’s most important to you.

Audrey

Auld TASMANIA-BORN SINGER/SONGWRITER AUDREY AULD, NOW US CITIZEN AND RESIDENT OF NASHVILLE, HAS RETURNED TO AUSTRALIA FOR AN EXTENSIVE EAST COAST TOUR, WHICH INCLUDES AN AFTERNOON PERFORMANCE AT THE COURT HOUSE HOTEL IN MULLUMBIMBY THIS SUNDAY. Audrey is the real deal: a lover of ‘authentic, soulful’ country music, a gifted songwriter and singer, who delivers a live performance full of wit and humour. She will be joined by special guest Sara Tindley When did you first discover ‘real Country music’ and who are your greatest influences? I really got into CM in my early twenties. I was a closet fan as none of my friends were into it. I really love Patsy Cline, Carter Family, Jimmie Rodgers, Hank Williams, Bob Wills, John Prine, Butch Hancock. Those were the artists I first heard who piqued my interest in the genre. Bill Chambers played a big role in your career from the mid 90s – as simpatico producer of The Fallen and Losing Faith, duet partner Looking Back To See and co-owner of Reckless Records. He describes you as ‘totally fearless’ Audrey. Is that a fair assessment? I produced my first three albums. Bill didn’t produce one until 2007 – Lost Men and Angry Girls. He calls me fearless as I’m not afraid of the truth, as many people are. Since working in San Quentin I’ve definitely become more fearless. It’s an exciting way to live. Songwriting is such an individual thing. What are the key elements that inspire you? Truth, nature, love, death, irony, melody. Right from the beginning, you collaborated with wonderful artists such as Fred Eaglesmith, Kieran Kane, Mary Gautier and Dale Watson on your recordings. How easy was it to get them on board? I found if you just ask then they can only say yes or no. Either way nothing is lost, and maybe it’ll turn out great. I find most international artists really open to collaboration. Marrying Mez Mezera in 2003 and moving to Bolinas, near San Francisco, was a huge move. What musical path did you envisage when you first arrived in the US and has that eventuated? I was, and still am, motivated by love for Mez. I gave no thought to my musical path re moving to America.

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

What I found was a very welcoming musical community in northern California that I still feel a part of. I’d never felt that in Australia, so it was great to be understood and accepted as an artist there. It’s still home to me… What prompted your move to east Nashville? Mez wanted to buy a house and wanted to live in a music city. Austin was first choice. We have a lovely home but are keen to move back to CA where we fit better. Your latest work Tonk is garnering praise both here and in the US. What was your intention for this album? To make a good-old-school country album. I worked with the best players and recorded the old-fashioned way, live in the studio. What can we expect at your upcoming Mullum show? Good songs, a few laughs, some prison song co-writes and great guitar picking from Ross Sermons. Tickets are $20 at the door.

The Byron Shire Echo January 7, 2014 25


Cinema Review AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY Tracy Letts’s Broadway play won every prize on offer, including the Pulitzer, after its Broadway debut in 2007. My cinema companion, however, warned me that when she saw the touring production in Sydney she found it underwhelming. I’m not sure if boring is quite the right word for John Wells’s film adaptation – Letts was screenwriter – but what was boorish in the extreme was the woman who sat in front of us and noisily stuffed her face for the first fifteen minutes with potato crisps. We moved three rows back, but the crackling and

vulgar grinding still infringed, like rats in the roof. It occurred to me later that the awful woman’s lack of consideration for those around her mirrored the self-centredness of Meryl Streep’s drug-addled dowager in this stagy, overwrought black comedy – and I only say ‘black comedy’ because that is how it has been categorised by the cognoscenti. Out of step with most in the audience, who laughed regularly as the Westons tore strips off each other in the wake of the father’s suicide, I grew increasingly less interested in the unlikeable lot. The dysfunctional family

has been a preferred subject of an angst-ridden generation (especially on TV, the medium in which Wells has primarily worked), but too often its strength is simultaneously its weakness, viz, the stories are peopled by characters who are a pain in the arse. A stellar cast is involved here – besides Streep, there are Julia Roberts, Ewan McGregor, Chris Cooper, Abigail Breslin, Juliette Lewis, Benedict Cumberbatch, Sam Shepard and the fabulously reptilian Dermot Mulroney – and each woman is given virtuoso scenes in which they are allowed free rein to

impress. Gathered from hither and yon, the Westons, with the usual subterranean resentments, go to war at the dinner table and skid unstoppably downhill from there towards the revelation of a dark secret that is just what you’d expect from such a potboiler. It’s expertly done, but I wanted the maid to throttle them all – and the piggy chip woman, too. ~ John Campbell

gets the best lines in Stephen Frears’s scathing observance of how loveless religion – in this case Catholicism – can devastate lives. That Sixsmith is the more conflicted, complex

character in a two-hander with Judi Dench’s Philomena should not surprise, given that the movie is based on his book and the script co-written by Coogan himself. What delights is the chemistry – the warmth and concord – that exists between two performers who ordinarily approach a role from opposite ends of the emotional colour spectrum. Philomena, in her old age, wants to know what happened to the illegitimate son who was taken from her by the ‘sisters of little mercy’ and adopted out to an American couple fifty years ago. Sixsmith, needing a newspaper gig, agrees to help her find out, with the intention

of publishing it as a ‘human interest’ story. The flashback sequences at the Irish convent where Philomena and her child lived are harrowing, but what might so easily have tilted disastrously into selfdefeating mawkishness is kept on an even keel by gentle, episodic road-trip humour as Sixsmith’s investigations result in the pair traveling together to the US. There is as well a mystery that is being solved, step-by-step, meaning that there is no time to wallow in bathos. But by far the most compelling element is the way in which Philomena’s tested but unwavering commitment to her faith works on Sixsmith

PHILOMENA ‘I don’t believe in God, and I think he can tell.’ Having just walked out of a church choir recital, it’s Steve Coogan as Martin Sixsmith, a disgraced journalist/spin doctor, who

as he grows evermore judgmental of those who wronged her. An outstanding film that hammers both the church and the Fourth Estate with an iron fist in a velvet glove, ends with Sixsmith, back in Ireland with Philomena, quoting TS Eliot: ‘We shall not cease from exploration / And the end of all our exploring / Will be to arrive where we started / And know the place for the first time’. Too true. ~ John Campbell

26 January 7, 2014 The Byron Shire Echo

The sad irony that nags unheard at this wonderful movie is that all of the major studios have it in train to stream their newest productions directly into your living room the minute the last edit is done. Meaning that soon, with the sloth of online shopping and the quicksand of social media, none of us will need to leave the house to do anything – least of all become involved in the sort of life-affirming individualism encouraged by Walter Mitty’s awakening. In this, Ben Stiller doubles as director and he seems initially to be more at ease in front of the camera. Walter develops the negative prints that are submitted to LIFE magazine by its photographers scattered

around the globe. The one that will be used to provide the cover for the last issue of the venerable publication has gone missing and it’s the responsibility of Walter, a perennial daydreamer, to find it. There is a flatness, a staid quality about the film’s introductory scenes that doesn’t augur well – Walter’s unrequited love for fellow worker Cheryl (Kristen Wiig) and his downtrodden status in the office is clichéd, while his major flight of fancy, involving a cross-city fight with his tormentor Hendricks (Adam Scott), appears as just another exercise in CGI overkill. But when he travels from New York to Greenland in search of the legendary photo-journalist Sean O’Connell (Sean Penn),

<echowebsection=Cinema>

the story takes wings. The transformation happens in one exhilarating moment as Walter, imagining that Cheryl is urging him on by singing Bowie’s Space Oddity (it has never been put to better use), fearlessly leaps into a helicopter as it is taking off, freeing himself from all of his terrestrial inhibitions. Stiller has always been good as the hapless Everyman who is nonplussed by circumstance, so Mitty’s journey of personal liberation is doubly affecting because it is not that of a typical hero. The final shot, of the long-awaited cover, is heart-swelling, as is the casual intimacy with which Walter finally gets to hold Cheryl’s hand. Bewdiful. ~ John Campbell

ESTABLISHED IN 1981, FIG TREE is one of Byron Bay’s most iconic restaurants. Perched under an ancient fig tree, the restaurant boasts sweeping views across Byron Bay creating a truly idyllic setting.

Fig Tree is one of the Byron Shire’s last remaining true BYO restaurants, which inspires you to dust off that great bottle you have been saving for a special occasion. Bring it along and indulge in a true dining experience!

The restaurant itself is a converted turn-of-the century farmhouse complete with dairy bails, orchard and vegetable garden.

From the moment you park your car and are escorted into the restaurant, where gardenfresh flowers welcome you and a fig leaf decorates your place setting, to the moment you leave, Fig Tree aims to delight and indulge you and remind you why it is so good to dine out!

While the last few decades have seen many food trends come and go, Fig Tree kitchen has always kept its focus on highlighting the region’s superb local produce, while sourcing inspiration from abroad through various cooking styles and techniques. Three years ago chef/owner Che decided to put his chef knives down for the winter and, together with his consultant and garden guru Thomas, they began a new project which is now referred to as the Fig Tree Garden. No trip to Fig Tree is now complete without a stroll through these gardens! The Fig Tree menu is designed as a tastingstyle menu, where guests have a choice of either four or six courses (or two for lunch) from which they make a selection of dishes within each course. ‘It allows people to really have a taste of Byron!’ says Che. ‘The menu is designed to change with the whims of nature, so it is constantly evolving to reflect that.’

Fig Tree is open every Thursday, Friday and Saturday for its famous farmers market/ garden dinners as well as every Sunday for its 100-mile Luncheon, where all produce is sourced within a 100-mile radius (but usually within 25km). With the restaurant sourcing the majority of produce from its own gardens, and only opening for four services a week, bookings are limited and it is therefore advisable to book in advance.

Reducing waste to survive If all humans consumed as much food and resources as people in the United States do, the Earth could sustain only about a quarter of the current population. Humanity as a whole is becoming more wasteful as people across the globe define themselves and their successes by what they own and what they consume. In State of the World 2013: Is Sustainability Still Possible?, contributing authors discuss ways that we can move away from the consumer culture undermining the planet we live and depend on. Cultures are constantly evolving, and perhaps one of the biggest cultural transformations was the advent of consumerism not too many generations ago. Erik Assadourian, senior fellow at Worldwatch and codirector of State of the World

2013, highlights the changes that advertising and marketing brought to society. ‘When first-generation factory workers received raises, they chose to work fewer hours, not buy more stuff,’ Assadourian says. ‘Over time, people got used to new products, some of which did indeed improve life quality and many of which were marketed as such by clever entrepreneurs and a new advertising industry. Eventually, we could hardly imagine life without an abundance of products.’ Yet just as humans became consumers, so can we revamp our behaviours to prevent further damage to the planet. Among the ways that our cultures can be transformed to make consumption patterns more sustainable, Assadourian suggests, are policy changes, such as shifting taxes on unsus-

tainable practices like carbon emissions, plastic bags, and junk food; as well as shifts in infrastructure, such as facilitating car-free lifestyles by building bike lanes and shared bike systems, as many US and European cities have done. Members of organisations, such as churches, schools, and businesses, can promote sustainable living in their communities. And media and entertainment have the potential to change our society by subtly modelling sustainable living with films, stories, and social marketing.

gible. Society-wide, we need to implement new technologies, cultural norms, infrastructure, policies, and laws.’ Leonard advocates for widespread public action to make sustainable living a way of life, rather than a trend. Millions of people are aware of the climate problems that we face, but the impetus to make the adjustment to sustainable living has yet to be made. The sooner we face the challenges involved with moving toward a sustainable society, the better chance we have to prevent further environmental decay.

Long-term changes

Model policies

Ultimately, we must understand that long-term changes in our communities are not going to be brought about by individual actions alone. Indeed, too much focus on changing individual behaviour can inadvertently redirect energy from the cultural, business, and political changes that are necessary. Although corporations have supported some conservation efforts by individuals – sometimes in ways that strategically redirect blame from themselves – the amount of damage done by people and households is only a small fraction of the total waste produced by industries every year. Annie Leonard, co-director of The Story of Stuff Project and contributing author to State of the World 2013, explains the problems that arise when individuals, rather than large-scale waste producers, take blame for the planet’s deterioration. ‘Describing today’s environmental problems and solutions as individual issues has a disempowering effect,’ says Leonard. ‘Even if we really do decrease our driving, stop littering, and refuse plastic bags, the broader impacts are still negli-

‘The good news is that we have everything we need to make big change in the years ahead. We have model policies and laws. ‘We have innovative green technologies to help with the transition. We have an informed and concerned public; millions and millions of people know there is a problem and want a better future. The only thing we are missing is widespread citizen action on the issues we already care about.’ By implementing new technologies, shifting cultural norms, building a sustainable infrastructure, and creating new policies, people will be able to make the society-wide changes that are imperative to humanity’s success. This means calling people to action within broader political campaigns that engage people to work together using the full range of tools available to them, including organising, lobbying, legal actions, economic sanctions, and civil disobedience.

If buying a property, ensure exactly what is being sold to you along with the property. Many owners of rural land, when selling, conduct what is called a clearing sale, during which farm and household implements are auctioned. While these auctions are commonly conducted by the real estate agent selling the property, it is important to note that the conduct of clearing sales is not a normal activity of agents, and any funds paid to the agent in trust for the owner of the goods are not protected by the Property Services Compensation Fund. Many sales are conducted on a cashonly basis.

What about accessibility of service utilities such as power and telecommunication? 7. Check for flood plains, areas with access problems, water problems. 8. Particularly check for any easements or rights of way that may be through the property. Even though they may have not been used for some time, their use by others can affect your rights as well. 9. Check that effective controls are in place and work has been maintained to control noxious pests on the land, such as rabbits and noxious weeds. Eradication of these can be expensive.

Rural land means land that is used or apparently intended to be used for gain or profit for grazing of livestock, dairying, poultry farming, viticulture, orcharding, beekeeping, horticulture, the growing of crops of any kind, and vegetable growing. So, even though your weekender in the country may not have stock on it, the fact that it is apparently intended for such use would make it rural property under the law. Under the Property, Stock and Business Agents Act 2002, real estate agents can act in the purchase or sale of rural properties up to 20 hectares in size. However, a licensed stock and station agent must handle properties over that size, and any livestock transactions. Before dealing with an agent, ask to see their licence and then call Fair Trading on 13 32 20 to check that it is current. Important issues to consider when buying rural land are: 1. The economic climate of the area. Is the land to be used for agriculture, commercial purposes or private use? 2. Check that the property has appropriate council approvals and council zoning for any external buildings, and any future development. 3. What about your health and age? (Do you expect to have

Settlement During the conveyancing process of purchasing rural land, any unpaid or outstanding expenses relating to the property such as rates and utility fees are identified. These amounts become part of the calculation of the final figure which the purchaser is required to pay at the time of settlement. These are pro-rated so the vendor pays any amount owing for the period up until the date of settlement, and the purchaser pays any amount owing for the period after settlement. – From fairtrading.nsw.gov.au

Backlash Clicks on ‘10 Things I Hate About Tony Abbott’, Mandy Nolan’s Soapbox for Echonetdaily, have rocketed, with over 4,500 recorded as of last Monday. The comments below it were at first mostly favourable, but now the Abbott supporters have struck back, some of them in a determinedly misogynistic manner. Australia, you’re standing in it.

We hear that a psychopathic galah, once kept as a pet in the hinterland, has come to a sticky end. It used to attract the unwary human by flying down and squawking ‘G’day mate’, before attacking the face in a savage fashion. Not a good look around little children and it was only a matter of time before the bird found itself deceased. Rather than sticking native birds in cages, have a couple of freerange chickens instead – mind you, you have to watch out for mad roosters. Q Q Q Q

tures ‘ten courageous mothers who candidly speak about the reality of Newstart: its cruel impacts, the humiliation, and why change is desperately needed’. It’s sobering to know that the rate of Newstart is reduced for single mums after they earn just $31 a week – that’s two hours at the minimum wage. It’s time all Australian MPs were given the opportunity to live on Newstart for a month and see how they like it.

Colorado’s experiment in allowing retail marijuana outlets will be watched closely here, we feel. There are still age restrictions (as with other drugs) and restrictions on consumption in public, but at least the Coloradans can have a bit of merriment at home.
