Sportsfields for the north at last

BBFF 2014 lifts off

Luis Feliu

The long saga to find a suitable site for sportsfields in the north of Byron Shire is over: Byron Shire Council announced last Wednesday that it had bought a parcel of land at Shara Boulevard in Ocean Shores. The seven-hectare block, on the corner of Shara Boulevard and Brunswick Valley Way, was bought by Council for $318,000 (excluding GST) and Council says it has potential for two playing fields, an amenities block, car parking, community play spaces and park furniture. The purchase is considered a bargain given that the land’s asking Festival director J’aimee Skippon-Volke and Armen Ra celebrate Friday’s soldout red-carpet opening for the 2014 Byron Bay International Film Festival. The ten-day program is available at www.bbff.com.au. Photo Jeff Dawson

price when it first went on the market was almost $2 million. Ironically, Lot 5 Shara Boulevard was sold by the widow of the late Queensland-based developer Chum Vidgen, who died in 2012 aged 73 and was often at odds during the 1990s with Council and environmentalists over his developments. The site had a longtime approval for a service station and another, smaller, site of 1.7 hectares just across the road, also owned by the Vigdens and up for sale, has approval for a motel and restaurant. Mr Vidgen developed the Ocean Shores Shopping Village as well as continued on page 2

Belongil landowners asked to chip in for rock walls Hans Lovejoy

A voluntary contribution from Belongil landowners affected by beach erosion is the latest plan by Byron Council to help pay for the remaining amount needed for a rock wall that would cover the last stretch of private and public beachfront in the area. The topic of ‘interim beach access stabilisation works’ again divided the Greens voting bloc at Council’s meeting on Thursday,

with Cr Rose Wanchap siding with Crs Diane Woods, Sol Ibrahim, Alan Hunter and Chris Cubis to support funding the rock wall from an environmental levy. But if the Belongil landowners come to the party, the estimated $155,000 from the levy may not be needed. Cr Ibrahim told The Echo that after meeting all the landowners recently, they were open to negotiations and are looking at ways to maintain

beach frontage (as rock walls are known to erode beach frontage). While conceding it isn’t cheap, Cr Ibrahim said, ‘there are other beachfront areas all over the world with rock walls that have been engineered to also have beach frontage’. He also challenged the argument that all Belongil landowners are required to have removable houses in case of a severe storm, as per a 1980s agreement with Council. continued on page 3

continued from page 1 many housing projects in the shire. Eight years ago he sold land he owned at Yelgun to the consortium behind the Splendour in the Grass festival-site development. Mayor Simon Richardson said, ‘With an initial asking price on the land at $1.95 million, it was out of our reach.

Centrally located ‘But as the market changed, the block has come within Council’s budget and it’s a significant financial purchase for our residents. ‘Plus the site is well positioned centrally and will service a number of local townships including Ocean Shores, Billinudgel, South Golden Beach, New Brighton and Brunswick Heads.’ Council is currently wait-

ing on land rezoning confirmation from the state government and plans to consult with community groups over the next few weeks to lockin design ideas. And with all going to plan, Council’s media spokesperson said construction could start within a year on the first field, car parking, amenities block and lighting. They added Council had around $2 million in available funding from Section 94 developer contributions for the Ocean Shores/South Golden Beach sportsfields programs. The site already has sewer and water connections, road infrastructure and much fill material available to help with initial levelling works, which the spokesperson said amounted to savings in significant construction costs.

about 6am on Friday. Acting inspector Warwick Rhodes of Tweed-Byron local area command told The Echo that police still haven’t identified the body. He added it that was too early to tell if the man had died of natural causes.

The bypass and West Byron were two topics covered in a forum held last Tuesday by Byron Bay’s chamber of commerce, Byron United. President Michael O’Grady said, ‘Mayor Simon Richardson spoke broadly of his vision for our future and gen-

eral manager Ken Gainger outlined some impressive financial outcomes for the 18 months of the new council’s term. Many members commented that the tone of the talk was unprecedented, citing previous forums that bogged in politicised standoffs.’

Roundhouse auction stalled by OSCA The planned auction of four residential blocks at the Roundhouse subdivision in Ocean Shores was put on hold following legal action by Ocean Shores Community Association (OSCA) on Friday. In reply, mayor Simon Richardson has requested a meeting with OSCA ‘as soon as possible’, and called on upon the group to ‘act in the community interest and withdraw’ the challenge. He said, ‘As the proceeds from Roundhouse sales are intended to fund infrastructure works in the north of the Shire, Council and the community could be faced with the possibility of these works being substantially delayed due to legal action. Since May 2013, our focus has been on the establishment of the In-

frastructure Renewal Reserve to bring forward and achieve these priority works.’ But OSCA spokesperson Jane Farrelly said her group has demonstrated to Byron Shire Council that it has a strong legal case to support what it has been saying for years – that the council has no right to sell the Roundhouse land. She says members resolved to continue the fight for the Roundhouse land in an emergency meeting held on Thursday night.

Eleven blocks earmarked A total of eleven residential blocks are earmarked to go under the hammer in an attempt to improve Council’s ailing finances.

Ms Farrelly says the longrunning saga goes back to 1988 with the then-council spending millions of dollars in court to back up its community zoning. ‘The switch came in 1991 when Council had to acquire the site by order of the Land and Environment Court. In effect the order to acquire created a public trust in the land. It has to be held in perpetuity for community purposes. Unfortunately there is a history of unwise decisions made by the council regarding the Roundhouse. The Department of Local Government’s Special Investigation Report on the Roundhouse dated April 1994 was highly critical of the conduct of some councillors and senior staff. The matter was referred to ICAC. ‘Then councillors promised

to keep the land for community in the last election campaign. We don’t know what went on behind closed doors; the council agenda reports were only a few paragraphs. ‘There was no mention of other council property that could be sold instead of our Roundhouse.’ Ms Farrelly says she understands the council’s financial position and its need to raise cash by selling off some of its assets. ‘OSCA hopes to avoid further litigation on this matter and urges the council to enter into mediation so that issues raised can be fully discussed. OSCA calls for upto-date details of other council-owned properties which can be sold to relieve Council of its debt burden. Let’s put all the assets on the table.’

of the debate, with Crs Wanchap, Woods and Ibrahim claiming that that the geobags that are currently in place – and that have been largely washed away – constituted environmental pollution and a threat to sea life. Cr Woods said that in all her years in Council, she had ‘never heard such hypocrisy’. ‘We are told these bags are falling apart and that the environment is being affected. [It comes down to that] some of us want rocks there, and some of us don’t. Every time we get a report that comes before us, it gets delayed… whatever tactics that can be used are put in place to stop it from happening.’ Meanwhile, Cr Ibrahim

argued that the works are interim, ‘as rocks can be moved and relocated’. In reply, Cr Richardson said the issue is ‘not about eco-worrying’. ‘If we truly care about the environment, we wouldn’t have walls there so the turtles and birds might have a beach that they could use.’

Eco-worrying While admitting that the walls will happen, Cr Richardson said it was important ‘how it will happen and how to minimise any possible litigation’. Of the recent meeting with coastal planning experts, Cr Richardson said one of the planners, Angus Gordon, told them either ‘to protect

or withdraw’. ‘They all said legal clarity is vital,’ he said. Cr Basil Cameron argued that without a coastal zone management plan (CZMP), which is in accordance with the Coastal Protection Act 1979, Council could be ‘open to failure’. ‘We need indemnity that the landowners won’t sue us if the works fail in years to come,’ he said. Council’s director of infrastructure services, Phil Holloway, told councillors that staff will meet with landowners next week. Executive manager of organisational support, Shannon McKelvey, added that any agreement with landowners ‘would only be with landowners, not the land’.

Belongil rockwall thrashed out in Council continued from page 1 ‘Some are not subject to the 1980s Council agreement because they bought before that agreement,’ he said. Regardless, a foreshadowed motion will see Council wait for legal advice, which is due in a few weeks, and would be considered prior to tenders being called (Crs Cubis, Woods and Hunter voted against). It’s advice that mayor Simon Richardson says was recommended by a panel of experts in coastal management, who recently met with Council.

Planning laws fail community: Better Planning Network A volunteer-based organisation concerned about the NSW government’s planning reforms says previously rejected similar legislation is about to be re-introduced in Parliament, ‘by the back door and without any public scrutiny.’ The network’s Corinne Fisher said in a statement, ‘This government came to power on the back of its promise for a visionary planning system that would enable the state’s necessary growth, guard against corruption,

provide greater certainty and transparency, return planning powers to local communities and ensure that community views are again heard and respected. However, Minister Hazzard has failed to deliver on these promises.’ Her group was formed in August 2012 by residents concerned about the government’s planning reforms. A template email for the minister is available at www. betterplanningnetwork. good.do.

‘Witnesses indicate he jumped off the cliffs a couple of times during the day,’ Insp Steele said. ‘We believe it was the result of his jumping that caused his death.’ Several people have also severely injured themselves at the popular waterhole over the years.

Nannas keep vigil outside MP’s Ballina office The newly formed Knitting Nannas Against Gas Ballina Shire, and their supporters, say they have been sitting outside the Ballina office of National Party state MP Don Page for over five weeks now. According to co-organiser John Heaton, ‘They have been peacefully knitting and informing people about the potential impacts on the northern rivers if unconventional gas mining proceeds, especially by the CSG mining companies Metgasco and Dart Energy,’ he says. ‘[But] they are angry because they have invited Mr Page on numerous times to come outside and explain his position

to them on this very important issue. ‘They need to know that their children and grandchildren will be safe from this invasive industry when there is ample evidence from overseas and QLD that unconventional gas mining has severe environmental, heath and social impacts on the local community. ‘To date, Mr Page has not bothered to come outside and address their concerns. ‘Moreover, Wendy Duncan has been told by his staff that Mr Page is not taking any more appointments for people to discuss CSG mining or related matters as he has done all he can and people will not accept that.

‘Mr Page and the O’Farrell government may boast that NSW has the toughest CSG regulations, but over 96 per cent of the state is still subject to the impacts of unconventional gas mining. But Mr Page told The Echo that he is still representing his electorate and has met with the nannas previously. ‘The knitting nannas meet outside my office on Tuesday mornings,’ he said. ‘My staff know Wendy Duncan well as she is often in our office. I’ve met with her in the past. I continue to work on CSG issues on behalf of constituents and recently met with the relevant minister to discuss community concerns.’

Local News Breathing guru comes to Byron The young show the oldies Peter Thompson

Evidence is mounting that a dysfunctional-breathing epidemic is emerging, especially in highly developed societies such as Australia. It lies behind many of the baffling conditions that are plaguing today’s children. Physiotherapist, breathing educator and author Tess Graham will give a free seminar at the Byron Bay Community Centre on Thursday March 13, and then subsequent workshops for clients and health practitioners. Ms Graham says significant developments in her field include growing recognition worldwide of the importance of correct breathing,

especially in children. ‘ADHD, for example, adversely affects the lives of many and The Journal of Pediatrics reported in 2012 that children with sleep-breathing problems such as snoring, sleep apnoea and mouth-breathing are 40–100 per cent more likely to develop ADHD. Abnormal breathing patterns create a disturbance in blood chemistry on every breath, day in and day out. If breathing can be bought back into balance (through breathing retraining, the work of a breathing educator), blood chemistry can normalise and, with it, brain chemistry.’ To book for the free seminar, call 02 8188 1343 or email admin@BreatheAbility.com.

Local News I can see paradise by the news desk light, or how I learned to love the council debates ‘Politics is war without bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed’ – Mao Zedong

Hans Lovejoy

Reporting on Byron Shire Council would be much less colourful if local government masochist Fast Buck$ decided to retire from his publicnuisance hobby horse (it’s a recurring threat). And while using morning public access as a personal therapy session certainly adds theatre to policy making, it’s also awkward at times. For example, calling the mayor a ‘small man’ is simply playing the man and not the ball. Serious questions lose credibility in light of such delinquency. And that can lead to the print media using valuable ink and paper to focus on those inane distractions instead. Is Buck$ the Lenny Bruce of Byron Shire without the Jewish wit? Regardless, one of Buck$’s bugbears this week was – again – reflective of his personal experiences with local government: Why are some compliance matters against residents kept confidential, given that the defendant is usually not asked if they wish it to remain confidential? A courteous phone call could alert you to the fact that your activities are being discussed behind closed doors. Sounds fair enough. As it happened, councillors agreed that day for general manager Ken Gainger to commence ‘Class 4 proceedings in the Land and Environment Court’ against the use of the property at 3822 Pacific Highway, Tyagarah.

Moving on, it was another full day of policy which had me wishing I had brought more popcorn and pillows. Creating a noise data history of major festivals held at North Byron Parklands in Yelgun moved closer with all councillors agreeing to consider ‘undertaking independent noise monitoring’ after meetings with those concerned. Cr Richardson’s motion states that there are ‘apparent inconsistencies in information provided.’ Heads up for possible water restrictions too: Cr Duncan Dey announced that Rous advised him at a recent meeting that as Rocky Creek Dam is close to 70 per cent capacity, water restriction implentation is imminent. ‘I don’t think they made an estimate of when that is,’ he said, ‘but they will probably be during March if we don’t get rain.’

Byron alcoholrelated violence Cr Dey also advised Council that after the recent Byron Bay Liquor Accord meeting, ‘statistics that the police collect are showing a continuing fall… and the general trend through the summer is in a downward direction for crime statistics in relation to alcohol.’ Again moving on, a regional transport plan by the state government that was presented to the Northern Rivers Regional Organisation

of Councils (NOROC) was met with ‘significant outrage,’ said the mayor. ‘NOROC in general were significantly outraged that it was an incredibly weak and flimsy document,’ he said. ‘It was very scant on any sort of evidential data; it was as atrocious as I think all the member councils expected it to be and it was incredibly disappointing.’ The mayor said no timeframes were given, no money allocated, no action plan or commencement dates were provided other than ‘there will be one’. In related planning news, the mayor added that he has discovered that the north coast-specific E zones for the local environment plan (LEP) have been on the desk of NSW planning minister Brad Hazzard for four months.

March approved The planned political demonstration against possibly the meanest and dumbest federal government in Australia’s history has been given the green light for March 16. But March in March, which will see Byron Bay take part in a nationwide action, saw councillors divided on whether to support it. Crs Woods, Cubis, and Hunter pushed for being apolitical with Abbott and his henchmen and one woman, and an amendment which failed by Crs Woods/Cubis

would have seen Council not give the organisers a slight leg up with fees. Cr Cubis said that, while he supports their right to protest, ‘it is inappropriate to pay for the march,’ and to align yourself with the group is ‘a step too far’. But Cr Cameron’s motion passed, with conditions for the go-ahead including that traffic control and escort be provided by the police and that public liability insurance be in place for the sum of at least $20 million. The event will also be notified on Council’s website and in Council’s notices in The Echo at no cost to organisers. Lastly, and by no means inclusive of everything that transpired, a request to ‘review’ Council’s plant replacement program by Cr Alan Hunter brought about vivid recollections of the psychological battles played out on BBC’s Yes Minister. Yes, councillors, there was slight tension in the air as Cr Hunter pushed for a nonthreatening sit-down with staff to look over procurement costings for items such as ride-on lawnmowers. Good luck, Alan!

Murder ops. Oops In Darwin on Friday Scott Morrison gave a short speech praising Australian service personnel, during which he referred to ‘Operation Sovereign Murders.’ He quickly corrected himself and moved on. The slip of the tongue was reported on ABC24 and by APN. Although there otherwise appears to be a conspiracy of silence – I cannot find the story on any of the major news sites – the incident can be seen here: http://bit.ly/OSMurders. Naturally, slips of the tongue are not normally reported, unless they are especially funny. This one was not, but it surely deserved a little examination. Unless we ignore all that is known about psychology and pretend that the mistake was occasioned purely by the phonetic proximity of ‘borders’ and ‘murders’, there are two explanations for it. One is that Morrison’s inner circle is accustomed to making this macabre play on words and that it slipped out because of his unfortunate familiarity with the phrase. This would be in line with a common reading of the minister for immigration, that he is a sociopath without compassion or principle. A gentler interpretation is that Morrison is, despite all the evidence, an ordinary human being with a conscience. The conscience can only be repressed for a certain length of time: it will eventually erupt in dreams and Freudian slips of the tongue, and if the repression continues the integrity of the whole personality becomes endangered. However, some people can repress their consciences longer than others and despite this telling incident, and the murderous chaos he has presided over on Manus Island, Morrison will probably continue in his role. Indeed, he seems to be the only front-bencher capable of the brutality required for the job. No doubt in future he will keep himself under tighter rein. David Lovejoy

uddenly the G20 is a seriously big deal. With Australia due to host the annual summit in November, the group has become the greatest thing since sliced bread, and will remain so until Tony Abbott and Joe Hockey have milked the last drop of kudos from their chairmanship of the meeting, which will provide countless photo opportunities to be snapped shoulder to shoulder with the movers and shakers of the planet. It is rumoured that the two men have already prepared photo albums provisionally entitled Famous People Who Have Met Me. But it was not always thus. Back in 2009, when Kevin Rudd was boosting the G20 as the way of the future, the conservatives were both patronising and dismissive. When its leaders endorsed Rudd’s stimulus package for the Global Financial Crisis, Hockey sniffed that those who did so were probably wets from the centre left of politics; the implication was that the G20 was no more than a bunch of mutual back-slapping wimps. But five years later, he is taking the G20 very seriously indeed – more so, in fact, than his leader. Abbott is embracing the status and ceremony involved in Australia’s turn at the helm. But Hockey is getting stuck into the substance, with, it must be said, a couple of wholly unexpected successes. Getting the notoriously cautious finance ministers of Europe to agree to a growth target was no mean feat. Critics have said that they won’t stick to it, which may or may not be true, but at least they agreed to have a try. The target of just two per cent over five years has also been talked down as being insignificant – less than half a per cent a year. But remember: this is in addition to the forecasts already made. In Australia’s case it

means increasing growth from a projected 2.5 per cent a year to nearly three – a jump of almost 20 per cent, hardly a bagatelle. Hockey also got a commitment to free up more private money for infrastructure. Obviously the worth of this idea will depend on what sort of infrastructure we’re talking about – more toll roads around the cities, Abbott’s personal vision, will not cut it. But at least the idea demands a focus on the medium to long term, rather than instant pre-election gratification. This has to be a start.

A residual weakness of the G20 is a reluctance to move forward at the same pace as the global economy.

by Mungo MacCallum In other areas Hockey was on the losing side: he backed China’s push to redirect the International Monetary Fund towards the developing nations, a move blocked by the old hands. And this pointed up one of the residual weaknesses of the G20, a reluctance to move forward at the same pace as the global economy. In part, this is a consequence of its history. In the beginning was the G6, the USA, the UK, France, Germany, Italy and Japan – a rich old white man’s club in which Japan’s wealth earned it honorary Caucasian status, much as was the case in apartheid South Africa. At the last moment Canada was roped in, making up the G7. And that was it for next 22 years in which the world changed but the G7 did not. Eventually, some years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia was invited to make a G8th. And that development finally brought the older nations, blinking and reluctant, to face

Union was granted an additional seat, rounding out the new G20. The once exclusive group had gone global; between them the members now accounted for some 85 per cent of the gross world product, nearly 80 per cent of all world trade and two thirds of the earth’s population. But it consciously eschewed taking the expanded role to which its scale now entitled it. It remained a conclave of the big money men: finance ministers and central bank governors. It was an economic talk shop during which problems could be canvassed and mutually beneficial solutions discussed, and as such it served a useful, but essentially second level role. The big decisions were taken at a higher political level altogether. But all this changed in the long shadow of the Global Financial Crisis. By 2008 it was clear that concerted international action was needed to stave off disaster, so, urged on by, among others, Kevin Rudd, whose comparative success in

avoiding recession had given Australia brief but significant lift in influence, Barack Obama convened the first G20 summit in Washington. It worked well enough to give rise to a repeat performance next year in Pittsburgh, and it was here that the summiteers declared that the G20 would now assume the role of ‘main economic council of wealthy nations’. The wording was unfortunate; the G20 could now claim to represent not only the first world but much of the rest as well. However it was still seen by many outsiders – and even by some recalcitrant insiders – as being run by the old guard of colonial capitalists. A widely held impression was that the old G7 were still the ones calling the shots; like the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, they were the ones who said yes or no, while the others were only there to make up the numbers. Thus the fear and loathing and the demonstrations by both left wing socialists and right wing nationalists at its annual meetings. But there are signs that this long standing resentment is starting to dissipate, and the more the smaller players – like Australia – can demonstrate that they have some clout, that they can make changes, the more quickly the G20 will be able to realise its potential as a force for good. It may not be perfect, but of all the major international organisations, it is by far the best we’ve got. So full marks to Joe Hockey for recognising its importance. And best of luck to Tony Abbott in his quest for pole position in as many photos as possible in Brisbane in November. The way things are going, by then he may need the publicity.

reality. Pushed by Canada’s Paul Martin, they agreed after much bickering to form the G20. The emerging giants of China and India could no longer be ignored, but the push to make the club more inclusive saw the admission of South Korea, and Indonesia to broaden the Asian presence. From Latin America came Argentina, Mexico and Brazil. Turkey and Saudi Arabia represented the middle east. And South Africa and Australia brought the membership up to 19.

Belongil works will reduce harm With regard to the use of the Environmental Levy for the Belongil interim beach access stabilisation works: the average person on the street may not know what the levy is approved for, but a quick search on Council’s website will show that one of the levy’s focuses is coastal hazard planning and management – exactly what the ‘beach access stabilisation works’ are designed to do. Even for the climate sceptics, it is hard to deny that stronger storm events are coming our way, similar to the one that took out a whole road, which was once called The Esplanade, in front of the present rock walls. Such an event would see the Belongil Spit being cut off and emergency workers and residents

potentially put in harm’s way ferrying residents who have had their power, water and sewerage cut off. This could happen anyway with the proposed interim rock wall but it will surely go a long way to reduce the harm and a good deal further than the present wall of sandbags. The present existing rock walls and geobags have been in place for decades and have not destroyed the shorebird nesting site; neither have they taken away the beach. Engineers from Council’s consultant firm WRL have noted there will be minimal impact along the shore when replacing present geobag structures with a carefully engineered rock wall. The ‘beach access stabili-

sation’ walls are in just three small gaps comprising 150 metres in total that are on, for the most part, Council’s own public land. As Cr Paul Spooner noted at the council community workshop for the Coastal Zone Management Plan last week, many of the Belongil landowners spoke up and said they will pay for their own walls. It is mischievous to suggest that the community will be asked to pay millions of dollars to protect a few wealthy landowners. For the Manfred Street works, the portion of costs still not funded may be quite minimal after negotiations with landowners and government grants. These stabilisation works will potentially help to pro-

tect the whole of the suburb of Belongil. In turn all those who use and access the beach at this point via council public land will benefit from safe, stable beach access. At this time many hundreds of hessian bags will be removed from the beach; they have in the past disintegrated and found their way into the ocean, which would have caused untold harm to our marine and bird population. Because we now live with an uncertain future, when the facts change or further information comes to light a prudent person will reassess the situation and act according to the precautionary principle. That is one of the many roles of a councillor. Cr Rose Wanchap Byron Bay

villages instead. The mayor said, oh, those too. In other words, ‘Who cares what the people want?’ The mayor spoke about ‘our town where we love to live’. He lives in Federal. A woman showed me a clipping from last summer, when residents’ two big concerns were illegal holiday lets and the booze tourists. We recalled the mayor made up slogans, deflected people into little groups, and did...? Nothing. In other words, Byron Shire, you’ve been conned. By a kiddies’ pantomime player.

to do so, and whether any debate took place. Simon Richardson has been silly enough to admit in writing that it is because ‘some persons’ (ie me) used question time to ‘grandstand’ and ‘bully’ that he supported the abolition; in other words it was indeed personal, just as I thought. For a nice bloke Simon’s pretty good at the old putdown, isn’t he? Of course he’d be the last bloke to realise he’s just shooting the messenger. I’ve been less successful in determining who was brave enough to initiate the change. My letter to GM Ken Gainger as to whether the change came via a staff recommendation or a motion from one of the councillors was met with the reply ‘neither’, followed with the usual evasive bureaucratese about committee processes. Well, well, in the age of science we seem to have a veritable miracle: the words ‘public question time’ simply disappeared themselves from the relevant poli-

cy. Let’s call it the Immaculate Deletion – with Simon in the role of cuckold. The abolition of question time saves staff a lot of grief. The smugness in Ken Gainger’s letter tells me it was the staff who planted the idea, which would of course fall on fertile ground given the resentment of many councillors at any suggestion that there are things they might have missed or not have understood. The senior staff are excellent psychologists and they have a long-established tradition of manipulating inexperienced and wellmeaning councillors. If flattery and false camaraderie fail they can always resort to active undermining – ask Jan Barham. The fact that staff are on continued on next page

The fix is in Attending the Byron United forum re Byron’s future was fascinating. We learned that West Byron housing estate must be approved to fund the bypass. Also that we must have a bypass to be able to do West Byron. And that all the capacity of the bypass will be absorbed, mostly by the thousands of new residents in West Byron. But we have to allow it, because hey, we can’t even fix the new roundabout that needs fixing, apparently. In other words, ‘Shut up and get West Byroned.’ Voices from the floor asked if we, the public, could have a direct democratic say in local government. The mayor deflected this, promising a webcast of what happens now; in other words, ‘No.’ Tom Mooney reminded the mayor that the people don’t want urban sprawl; they have always wanted a shire of

Bringing home the roadkill Story & photo Mary Gardner

I brought home the roadkill. The raggedy dead butterfly is called a Common Crow, perhaps a female. But imagine: alive she might have migrated along the coast from Moreton Bay fig trees to frangipanis and oleanders and over to river mangroves. Maybe a male hunted her out, wafting perfume over her till she was persuaded. Did she ever lay eggs on some milkweed, a jasmine or maybe even a hoya? If she lived a full life, she would have spent three months flitting about. These were windy times and she would have known quite a few headwinds. Her eggs may have already hatched. The caterpillars may already have eaten their fill of toxic plants – that’s why Common Crows are poisonous at every stage of their lives. Somewhere around town are hanging many small silver chrysalises. Unless, of course, someone sprayed pesticides. Cars aren’t the only hazard for insects. ‘Everyone’ knows about the spray hazard but seem happy enough to buy the poisons at a supermarket along with milk and bread. When Rachel Carson wrote Silent Spring fifty two years ago, ‘everyone’ was horrified with her opening image: a continued from page 12

tainable tourism and economy have been given up on. Let’s look at some of the costs of the rail trail. Most obviously, a rail trail would be unable to use all sections of the existing track without significant adaption to ensure safety. There will need to be diversions built at cost around some geographical features. All this will need to be maintained annually. Far more maintenance than is carried out now will have to be paid for each year to ensure vegetation doesn’t take over. There will be no revenue from fares to offset these costs. What benefits justify such costs? The number of people prepared to walk or ride a bike along a rail trail to work, school and services would be substantially less than farepaying commuters on a train. That leaves the supposed tourism bonanza. Rail trail proponents claim that there is a market of 750,000 adventure tourists that would use the trail. Let’s be clear. Only a very

season with no songbirds, all dead from eating poisoned insects. A few years ago, ‘everyone’ was also aghast with similar images of a season when agricultural crops failed because the bees which pollinate them were poisoned and dead. The years go on and on, taking this issue on and on.

a great global enterprise as pollinators. How breathtaking is that? In these warm summer days at the start of the year, chambers of commerce, local governments and residents’ groups are reviving themselves. They are casting about for something to do.

Defiant

Resource

But there’s this raggedy old butterfly on my desk. I like old animals, of any kind. They are defiant messengers that began in the past and front up now to say life goes on and on as well. I fear that ‘everyone’ is getting used to living without animals. Without their magnificent proud ways as startling creatures and all their wildly interrelated schemes. Consider these butterflies and bees, moths and wasps and beetles and birds. Every one is connected by means of flowering plants, in

So I will suggest that Byron employ butterflies, bees, moths and all the rest in an enterprise that builds a regional resource and will delight residents and tourists alike. Let’s create a pollinators’ park with a butterfly house and living displays of bees and other insects along with all those flowering plants. A site like the IQ Quarry might work. This community land can do with plantings and grounds maintenance. Picnics would be encouraged. The butterfly house and insect displays would be part of

small fraction of these visitors currently visit our Shire. The rail trail will only work if there is an increase of several hundred thousand visitors to Byron Shire, adding substantial load to our overstretched roads and infrastructure. Ratepayers will have to pick up the costs. Shame there isn’t a train to help relieve the impacts. Cr Basil Cameron Goonengerry

Some asylum seekers come from countries like Iraq and Afghanistan to which our government felt the need to send troops as part of an invasion force because it considered them so appalling and dangerous. Others come from Sri Lanka, where the victors of the civil war there are now able to imprison, torture and murder their Tamil opponents with impunity and, it seems, support from our government. The Tamil Tigers, who were trying to protect their people from the dominant Sinhalese majority in Sri Lanka, are deemed by our government and its allies to be terrorists. In a similar manner the Syrian government deems to be terrorists the armed resistance to its oppression. Does the inhumane, disproportionate response of the government to people coming here seeking our protection have no bounds? In order to prevent spiralling healthcare costs perhaps the health minister will implement a military operation

Heartless I heard the prime minister yesterday praising his minister for border security Scott Morrison for being tough on asylum seekers. If these people had been in government during the 1930s no doubt they would also have been tough on Jews fleeing Nazi Germany at that time. They and their supporters carry on as if Australia were being attacked by the Imperial Japanese Navy, not approached by people in leaky boats, often not able to even keep themselves afloat, coming here to seek our protection and assistance.

an insect bank for the region’s farming and horticulture. A nursery of host plants would complement the animal resource. Think of it like the next step after seedsaving, the popular movement preserving our heritage of food plants. There’s employment to be had and sales to be made, all the while enchanting visitors and supplying rural folk. There is a lot to learn, too. Some first lessons might be from the butterfly houses in Coffs Harbour and Kakadu. France has a fantastic Micropolis, ‘a city of insects’. This complex is a popular visitor and research centre. Its patron is Jean-Henri Fabre, the entomologist whose descriptions of the intimate life of insects won him the 1910 Nobel prize in literature. He wrote ‘what matters in learning is not to be taught, but to wake up’. Fabre lived from 1823 to 1915. He knew about pollution and economic changes. Across the raggedy years, his advice is to ‘turn… to wasps and bees, who unquestionably come first in the laying up of a heritage for their offspring’. We seem doomed to pass on to the next generation so many sorry death-dealing issues. Let’s also pass on a way to stay connected with those wildly interrelated schemes of life. hospital security to deny access to our hospitals to people seeking medical assistance. It would be consistent with the government’s other policies. Michael Trevaskis Alstonville

KINGFISHA SINGS

Brisbane 6-piece Kingfisha have been laying down weighty reggae and dub to eager audiences for going on six years now, and in the process have cemented themselves as one of the undisputed must-see acts on the Australian roots scene. This is no small achievement. It was a reputation further solidified when late last year national broadcaster Triple J added Piece of the Puzzle, the second single from their self-titled debut album, to national rotation. Aside from the impeccable musicianship and pulsating live shows for which the band are renowned, what tends to set Kingfisha apart within their genre is a crafted modern reggae style that couples the band’s love of Jamaican rhythms with the inherent depth and innate melody of frontman Anthony Forrest’s songwriting.

RADICAL RUBBISH REFORMS FOR THE BYRON SHIRE Every week millions of tonnes of recyclables find their way to landfill. With a growing green consciousness and with the concept of recycling now entrenched as a norm with the introduction of colour-coded bins, regular council rubbish collections and recycling depots, waste management authorities are puzzled as to why the average householder is failing the most basic of IQ tests: Which bin does which piece of rubbish go in? ‘If you can’t work out which bin the pizza box goes in, then you shouldn’t be allowed to shop!’ says controversial waste reduction guru Leonard Pleasant. Mr Pleasant has been employed as a consultant to the Byron Shire Council to help remedy the tonnes of recyclables ruined each week by what Pleasant calls ‘ongoing unnecessary contaminations.’ ‘All it takes is one idiot to leave the lid on an unwashed milk container and you have basically lost the ability to adequately recycle’, he says. ‘Recycling is an exacting process, and it is reliant on the consumer taking some responsibility: like wash out your containers. Don’t just put in an empty Paul Newman Sauce bottle and think Paul Newman is going to come and wash it out for you. And just because the rubbish bin is full and you don’t feel excellent delivery and WENDY RULE PLAYS vivacious presence on AT THE CASTLE ON and off stage, it is no THE HILL IN UKI THIS surprise singer Cath SATURDAY Simes is surrounded by such a brilliant calibre of musicians. Some of the east coast’s finest are Jamie Sullivan on bass and male lead vocals, Tim Corcoran on guitar/vocals and Scott Hills on drums/vocals. All are highly respected accomplished players with degrees in music, in high demand for work with Australia’s leading artists in fields as diverse as jazz and country to pop and hard rock. Friday at the Ballina RSL River Cafe Stage. MILO KIDS

Playing his own originals and some well-known tunes, Milo Green’s music has a fun, folky feel that makes you want to move. With masterful guitar work, a smooth voice and a whole lot of love, Green’s own powerfully crafted acoustic tunes, which are etched in blues, folk and rock tradition, could easily have come from a previous era like the swinging 60s. He also puts his own twist on great songs by Neil Young, Paul Kelly, Bob Marley and more. This fun-loving entertainer is a fiend for demon-like harmonica solos and foot-stomping breakdowns. Sit back and let your ears be treated to a smooth and memorable solo performance. Saturday at the Ballina RSL. WENDY RULES: OKAY!

Melbourne’s visionary songstress Wendy Rule returns to northern NSW for one night only to celebrate the release of her new album Black Snake. Wild, passionate and empowering, Wendy weaves together music, mythology and ritual to take her audience on an otherworldly journey of depth and passion. Highlighting her extraordinary voice, her maturity as a writer, and her willingness to explore all facets of the emotional world, Black Snake has once again proven that Wendy Rule is one of Australia’s most uniquely gifted and prolific artists. With an ever-growing international following, this is a rare opportunity to experience her latest work in this intimate acoustic show at the beautiful Castle on the Hill in Uki before she sets out once again for a busy year of touring in the UK, Europe and the USA.

like taking it outside, that’s also not a criterion for shoving something into your recycling. Only some items are recyclable. You can’t just throw in plastic bags, aerosol cans, and coat hangers. As far as I can tell coat hangers are not recyclable items and should be donated to St Vincent De Paul so they can deal with them.’ Pleasant believes that all residents should be forced to undertake a mandatory TAFE training in rubbish management that teaches participants how to best manage their household waste. This is one of the key proposals that Council has been looking at adopting as part of the Green Council’s commitment to making Byron Shire not just waste conscious but waste reducing. A spokesperson for Byron Shire Council confirmed that by the end of 2014 residents might be finding themselves out at the Myocum Tip up to their arms in rubbish working towards their certificate 2 in Home-Based Environmental Management Implementation. ‘It’s a win-win for us at Council. It will not only mean that we will have a productive and efficient recycling centre; it could really cut down our staffing costs. After all, students are free labour!’ Pleasant also believes that people don’t fully comprehend the finer details of composting. ‘Throwing the tea bag out the kitchen window is not composting!’ ‘Composting fruit and vegetable scraps is an extremely effective way of producing organic garden fertiliser, but very often people get lazy and lose interest halfway through the project’. ‘I once worked at a recycling centre where it became evident that people were putting their

compost into the recycling bin. We had more than 35 garden composting units, in perfect condition. One of them still had compost in it.’ Pleasant believes that when it comes to recycling, the general public has good intentions. ‘They want to get it right. But they’re embarrassed to admit they don’t know if their detergent bottles go in the yellow lid or the red lid. This is where we come into the picture. ‘Mandatory community training will take time,’ says Pleasant ‘in the short term we are introducing random recycling swat teams. These are highly trained individuals who will access your bins at any time of day or night to do spot checks’. If the resident is deemed to be failing the recycling challenge, the RRST will conduct on-the-spot householder bin-side training. ‘Sure, it might be irritating to be dragged out of your bed in the middle of the night by a bunch of guys in hi-vis vests and rubber gloves, but no more irritating than having to dump loads of ruined recyclables into landfill.’ Mr Pleasant is impressed with the council’s enthusiasm and their willingness to adopt these radical waste-management practices. ‘One thing you will be able to say about Byron Shire is that we really embrace our rubbish!’

Inspired by Tom Hodgkinson’s counterconsumer-culture manifesto How To Be Free, Morris summoned as many of the members of The Gin Club as he could muster and put on the beers at his newly set up northern rivers home studio. His new album The Situationist is what ensued, a collection of warm and spontaneous gems. Reflecting his current solo shows, The Situationist includes live favourites such as Dylan’s It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry, Gillian Welch’s Look At Miss Ohio and Tim Rogers’s (You Am I) Heavy Heart. It is completed by an acoustic reworking of Lover from Morris’s Needs & Wants album and a handful of new originals, including The Uplift, featuring some of Banjo Paterson’s writing set to music.

It’s been six long years since Jon Cleary last brought his legendary band The Absolute Monster Gentlemen to Australia (despite a quick lap of the map with his trio The Philthy Phew and alongside Allen Toussaint and the Dirty Dozen Brass Band on the Legends Of New Orleans Australian Tour in 2011). Described by many as the funkiest band in the city that has the funkiest musicians in the world, Jon Cleary and The Absolute Monster Gentlemen are the gem in the New Orleans crown – a four-piece riot of gospel harmonies and foundation rocking grooves – a southern soul band like no other. Running the full gamut from second-line street beats to old-school rhythm and blues, the party is propelled by Cleary’s vocals and dazzling piano chops, skills learned as a teenager in New Orleans directly from the old masters who invented the style.

Everyone of us is called upon many times to start a new life or set off in a different direction.

What are some of the times in your life when you had to, or chose to, start over? What brought you there? Desperation? The excitement of beginning a new adventure? How did

A CASUAL LISTEN TO THE BOZ SCAGGS DISCOGRAPHY MAKES ONE THING OBVIOUS: BOZ SCAGGS IS BOTH A MUSICAL SEEKER AND A MAN OF SIZEABLE TALENT AS A SINGER, SONGWRITER AND GUITARIST. His explorations in blues and R&B, rock and jazz have produced lasting work and a career that has brought him acclaim worldwide. Best knows for Silk Degrees with a swag of hit singles including Lowdown, Lido Shuffle and We’re All Alone, Scaggs continues to reinvent himself releasing Memphis, his latest offering last year. ‘I made Memphis with producer Steve Jordan, who is a drummer and friend, and we have been talking about getting together for about a dozen years. We talked and had a clear schedule and had decided to meet in Memphis, and we met at a studio that is a favourite of ours and called a handful of musicians together and gave ourselves about 10 days to get it down. We recorded at Royal Studios and in the end we did it in three days! We weren’t trying to rush through it – things just came up so well. We started and before we knew it was done and you know, it just felt good. It was one of those projects that was a combination of good luck, good timing and good balance. It’s a good album,’ said Scaggs, who laughed, ‘I could say it took a lifetime to make that record in just three days!’ Scaggs was open to the process while he was in the studio. ‘The only criterion was that it had to be a song that lent itself to my voice and we wanted to give it our own treatment and to give my voice a platform, I didn’t want to be a guitar player or a co-producer; I didn’t want to do anything but sing this time. I said: ‘Steve, lead the way! ‘We talked about songs and then I let Steve make the decisions. He’s a very good producer. The material was chosen to match my voice. I did a couple of Willy DeVille songs, one Al Green, a Steely Dan, Tony Joe White, songs like Rainy Night in Georgia, a classic folk song, a few R&B songs, an old Tyrone Davis song, and I also wrote a couple of original songs for the project. ‘We had 14 songs on the list and we ended up with 14; we used 12 on the album and two for

bonus tracks. Once we got started, we realised everything was working.’ Scaggs has been playing music for nearly five decades. It’s been intense, tumultuous, but somehow music always called Boz back. ‘Well, you know from 1970 to 1980 I worked really hard. I released five or six albums. It was a constant affair, and in 1980 I had a new album, a greatest hits album, and a world tour, and I needed to take some time away to deal with other things. I took 10 years, and if I hadn’t had to take that 10 years away, I didn’t have any music in me. I changed gears. I came back slowly, at a different pace, with a different motivation. I feel like I had career. It was very re-invigorating; it was fresh and free. I did a couple of jazz standards albums. I did things in a more organic way and I made what I think was the best album released in 2001, called Dig.’ As for how he’s travelling as a singer? ‘I’d say my voice is better than it’s ever been, more relaxed – and taken it from a different approach.’ Boz Scaggs is one of the legendary artists appearing at Bluesfest this year.

CHESS

by Ian Rogers Play at Byron Services Club, Mon 7pm Melbourne seems to have a conveyor belt producing strong players while the rest of the country finds only the occasional big talent. The city has two seven-daya-week chess clubs, yet Adelaide also has a full-time chess centre, mid-town, without seeing a boom in junior strength. However, there is one program that may be the factor giving Victoria the edge over the other Sstates. The Canterbury Junior Chess Club, which operates as part of the larger Box Hill Chess Club in Melbourne’s northeast suburbs, hosts inexpensive weekly Sunday coaching groups. The club employs five coaches, from GM Darryl Johansen to top juniors who may be only a year or two older than their students. For example, current Australian Open Champion Bobby Cheng, now 16, was first tried as a Canterbury Junior club coach at age 13. This week’s game sees two of Victoria’s best juniors battle it out last year. Six months later,

the winner is now one of the Canterbury junior trainers.

Cinema CinemaReview Review WOLF CREEK 2 Cruelty and mayhem may not be your cup of tea, but if you consider horror to be as valid a genre as any other, you won’t want to miss this – it’s a ripper. Australia’s most-loved film critics have declined reviewing it on their TV show owing to its content (their darling Tarantino is often as violent), which seems too precious by half, but there is no such thing as bad publicity and the controversy will, in all likelihood, only strengthen its case among the great unwashed who might actually benefit from seeing

it. John Jarratt is back as Mick Taylor, the ferociously horrible redneck bigot whom we initially encountered in 2005. The character may be over the top, but caricature goes hand in glove with the excessive nature of this type of movie and – here’s the rub – there is something about Mick that is too scarily, too repulsively truthful. It had not occurred to me the first time around that he is as representative of the Wide Brown Land that he claims to be a champion of as any fictional figure created in recent times.

There is a xenophobia at large in Australia that, far from being hosed down, is enthusiastically fanned by our populist federal government and its running dogs in the media. The temper of the nation is uglier than at any time I can recall (Manus Island is a grotesque reflection of what we have allowed ourselves to become) and Mick Taylor, who proudly hates anything not Australian, is the man for the moment. Whether this was director Greg Mclean’s intention is irrelevant – it is there

to be confronted in stark, high-contrast imagery for anyone with a concern for who we are. ‘Who is Straya’s greatest ever cricketer?’ Mick asks the young English tourist as he applies an angle grinder to his fingers. Troubling metaphor aside, the cinematography is classy, the SFX sensational – the car scenes are brilliantly executed – and, if the gothic indulgence is too much and the end unsatisfying, the reality is undeniable. ~ John Campbell

Marks, the poor bugger has also lost an eight-year-old daughter to leukemia and, still devastated, has developed a penchant for hard liquor.

He is one of the army of plainclothes security guards that the US government has employed since 9/11 to keep the airways safe for travellers, though whether the rest of them get a seat in first class is doubtful at best. Sipping on a gin and tonic with a lovely stranger (Julianne Moore) sitting next to him, everything looks hunky dory on just another New York–London flight – notwithstanding the harried look on Liam’s dial. Sure enough… he gets a text from a mystery passenger who threatens to kill somebody in twenty minutes if money is

not deposited into an account that he has supplied. Early indicators suggest that we might be heading into Snakes on a Plane territory (I’d love to see that again, just for its glorious idiocy) as Liam is led to the end of his tether by a conspirator who is always one step ahead of him. His manic attempts to find the villain result in Liam’s being considered a terrorist by the air force and everybody else on the plane – except for Julianne and the beautiful stewardess (Michelle Dockery, who appears weirdly out of place after her spellbinding presence at Downton Abbey).

NON STOP Craggy old Liam Neeson does it tough in the movies these days, doesn’t he? Invariably widowed or divorced, in this case as US Air Marshal Bill

Dinner from 6.30 PM Film starts at 8 PM T

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 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 twohander 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

GFEFSBM m MNT presents

There are the usual number of suspects – the only one of whom you know it can’t be is the Muslim doctor, for that would be too obvious… unless the writers intend applying Maxwell Smart’s ‘old reverse psychology trick’. The plot is convoluted and the declamatory dialogue at times awful, but the tension is well constructed and Neeson, Moore and Dockery, aided by an excellent support cast – Corey Stoll notably so as an off-duty NYPD officer – are untroubled in holding the story together as it hurtles towards its fantastic climax. ~ John Campbell

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 as he grows ever more 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

MULLUMBIMBY

BANGALOW IS NOT AN ORDINARY COUNTRY TOWN. The Bangalow Dining Rooms in the pub have not only an excellent restaurant dining menu, but also a ‘pub dining’ menu that is a good cut above the rest of the state. In fact the SMH Pub Food Guide 2014 visited more than 500 pubs this year and the Bangalow Dining Rooms’ ‘two schooners’ award places its food in the top 40 in NSW. The balcony of Bangalow Dining on a beautifully balmy Friday evening is busy enough to warrant a booking. There are plenty of locals enjoying a family meal after work (the restaurant has a convenient 5.30pm opening time) and it’s also a popular place for groups celebrating birthdays. Quieter evenings during the week provide an opportunity for intimate dinners and unexpected get-togethers. When we visited for lunch during the week recently, we were able to sit in style overlooking the hustle and bustle of daily life in Bangalow, ordering wine by the glass; you can sit outside under the stars on the large open verandah or in the intimate dining room. As you’d expect at a pub, you can purchase wine and drinks from the bar from a good well-priced selection. Owners Adam Thornton and Jo Maiden are supported by manager Clare Kirkman, chefs Justin Mitchel, Jeremie Messager and their professional staff. They say the trick is to cater for many people without compromising quality and integrity. The service is friendly and professional and the team are focused on creating the sort of inviting atmosphere that brings the locals back regularly. There’s also quite a range of food available: customers can enjoy the beer-battered barrumundi, salt and pepper squid or a (gourmet) burger such as the lamb and pinenut burger with mint labna, pickled cucumber, rocket and chips ($18). Or, from the restaurant menu, you can ‘lush it up’ with the full three-course experience such as sumac-spiced king prawns, almond gazpacho, rocket and pink grapefruit salad ($20) followed by the chargrilled eye fillet with

potato rosti, horseradish butter, beetroot puree, green beans ($34). The eye fillet is sourced from the Casino region and the chefs, where possible, source local products and showcase the quality of the local produce in their dishes. The menu changes regularly with the season and the new autumn menu will be available next week. Highlights from the current menu include the spiced eggplant and chickpea tagine with almond cous cous, yoghurt, green chilli harissa ($30) and grilled scallops with a pickled beetroot and watercress salad. Owner Jo Maiden says that the new menu will see, ‘the return of a few stalwarts that are loved by locals from previous menus, such as: a special house-made terrine, crafted from an old recipe handed down through generations from chef to chef; locally caught fish supplied daily by Freckle at Bay Seafood; and the popular rolled pork belly filled with apples and prunes. The fresh tuna linguine with tomato, chilli, garlic, rocket, parmesan, lemon and olive oil will also be making a return to the menu.’ Highlights from the dessert menu include Drambuie parfait with black cherry compote and almond biscotti ($14) or flourless pineapple and coconut cake with lime syrup and a lime and palm sugar sorbet ($14). For those who like to finish with a coffee and dessert, why not combine the two by ordering a Pedro Ximenez affogato, vanilla bean icecream and espresso coffee ($11). It’s really not an ordinary pub. Large groups are welcome, and can be catered for with a fixed or a-la-carte menu. The Dining Rooms also have a well-established off-site catering service with an excellent canapé menu.

34 March 4, 2014 The Byron Shire Echo

Luis Feliu The Oscar-nominated documentary filmmaker whose film Gasland lit a fuse under the coal-seam gas (CSG) industry told a Byron Bay audience on Saturday he’s baffled as to why his latest followup is not being promoted in Australia. Josh Fox’s Gasland Part II documentary, one of the feature films at the Byron Bay International Film Festival, has recently been released in the US and is set for distribution by a cable-TV company partowned by media mogul Rupert Murdoch. But Fox has expressed fears his latest followup documentary, which includes an Australian perspective on the CSG boom, may not get to the much wider Australian audience expected. During a live video link-up from his US home to the Byron Film Festival audience, which had just watched his film at the Byron Community Centre, Fox said there appeared to be a holdup with the distribution company/cable network in Australia, and he had hoped it would already have been released. ‘I’m confused and disappointed why this is so,’ he told the audience, some of whom audibly gasped when Rupert Murdoch’s name was mentioned in relation to the potential link to the film rights in Australia. (Subscription television provider Foxtel, part owned by Murdoch’s News Corp empire, owns the licensed distribution rights for Gasland Part II.)

Just how much disappointment can one cat bear. Herbie was excited when people came to see him a couple of weeks ago. But how can a loveable, quiet, friendly, and undemanding 3 year old boy compete with a pretty seductive young girl cat. So Herbie missed out again ! He wonders what more he can do, as he slumps to the ﬂoor where he spends his long boring “Groundhog” days. Enrich your life by adopting this special cat. All cats are desexed, vaccinated and microchipped.

Fox said the documentary arm of the giant US cable-tv network HBO had been ‘fantastic’ and the company’s reach into the homes of 40 million viewers around the US would be a boon for the Gasland documentaries. Fox told the Byron audience the latest film highlighted how democracy was being hijacked by the powerful gas and energy industries all around the world. He said the taking away of ordinary rights of people to protect their water and food land was the greatest risk and people should fight in every peaceful way they know how. Gasland Part II showed the long-term impacts of the controversial practice of fracking blamed for poisoning underground water supplies and causing earthquakes and health impacts. The film shows how just one gas well can soon become a huge barren wasteland, forcing locals off their land in the US. It also showed how governments operate hand in glove with the CSG industry. Fox told the Byron audience he was impressed with the local campaign by Lock

the Gate when he toured Australia recently to see and film the southeast Queensland gasfields, including a segment on the impacts there, as part of the latest documentary. He also encouraged people to continue the fight in Australia by every peaceful means available, in response to a question from a member of the audience who asked why his latest film lacked footage of any direct-action civil disobedience campaigns by some against CSG. (The anti-CSG campaigns on the northern rivers have seen some people use actions that led to arrests at Doubtful Creek near Kyogle and Glenugie near Grafton last year.) Fox, one of the most prominent public critics of fracking, shows in his latest film how he was arrested in 2012 during a US House of Representatives subcommittee hearing on hydraulic fracturing when he attempted to videotape proceedings.

Road blocked Meanwhile, at the proposed gas-drilling site at Bentley near Lismore, where campaigners have set up a camp, a new protest group has blocked the road to the proposed drilling site. The group by the name of ‘The Front Line Against Gas’ (FLAG) issued a press statement on Sunday saying it had taken ‘decisive action’ to block the road to Metgasco’s planned tight sand gas exploration project. FLAG, according to spokesperson Naomi Tarrant, is ‘a loose alliance of farmers, locals, landowners and business owners who have united in their opposition to gasfields in the northern rivers’. ‘We are a diverse group of residents of this region who are distressed at the impending high-risk activities that Metgasco has planned,’ Ms Tarrant said. ‘This unsafe industry threatens our water, our air, our health and our livelihoods with its toxic activities. ‘Metgasco wants to drill a two-kilometre-deep gas well that will most likely require hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, just 14 kilometres upstream from Lismore CBD. ‘With operational activities scheduled to begin any day now, we have blocked the main drive to the planned exploration site and we will continue to use non-violent direct action to safely protest and halt any upcoming operational activities. ‘The majority of the northern rivers community is opposed to the establishment of invasive industrial gasfields and the NSW chief scientist’s report on health and safety risks of gas mining is still outstanding.’ Q See more on echo.net.au.

North Coast news daily:

The Quiky and the Roxy Pros kick off Quiksilver Pro The Gold Coast’s Quiksilver Pro and Roxy Pro set the balling rolling on the 2014 ASP tour over the weekend where surfers and spectators hit the beach at Snapper Rocks. Australian Joel Parkinson opened his Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast campaign with spark against fellow veterans, Bede Durbidge (AUS) and Tiago Pires (PRT), displaying the signature rail-work shaped by his local break of Snapper Rocks. Parkinson maintained his composure through the heat, finding a long set-wave and a rare barrel ride in the final minutes. The Gold Coast local earned one of the highest single-wave scores (8.93) and two-wave heat totals (16.43) for his efforts and surpassed Durbidge for the win. ‘I felt good, I felt relaxed and my board felt amazing! Sometimes half the battle is feeling comfortable and confident with your equipment’, said Parkinson. ‘It was a small but hollow wave so there weren’t many options but it was a good barrel. The first round is definitely a free ride. Let’s see what happens in the second round.’ Kelly Slater (USA), 11-time ASP World Champion, won through Round 1, but was forced to fight for the win with Trial winner Matt Banting (AUS) and Matt Wilkinson (AUS), both posting excellent scores. Slater is the barometer for good surfing out at Snapper, winning the Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast an unprecedented four times (2013, 2011, 2008, 2006) and is the only

non-Australian to take the event title. ‘I really love this wave, but I feel like it suits everybody’s surfing and I don’t know why it’s been such a good event for me’, said Slater. ‘The event site here is awesome, the structure and how much space we have now. We have a lot of room to breathe and a lot of quiet too before you paddle out, which is really nice. Behind the scenes it seems like there’s a lot more happening and everyone’s really excited for the year ahead.’

Roxy Pro The Roxy Pro Gold Coast presented by BOQ, Stop No 1 of 10 on the Samsung Galaxy ASP World Championship Tour, was called ON for Round 1 in two-to-three-foot waves. There were standout performances from reigning two-time ASP Women’s World Champion, Carissa Moore (HAW), and rookies Alessa Quizon (HAW) and Dimity Stoyle (AUS). Round 1 Heat 1: Hawaiian rookie, Alessa Quizon, reigned supreme over South Africa’s Bianca Buitentag and five-time ASP Women’s World Champion and local favourite, Stephanie Gilmore. Quizon scored a 7.93 out of a possible 10 for an explosive series of backhand turns and drew an interference on Gilmore, which effectively took the veteran out of heat contention. Gilmore will face Nikki Van Dijk (AUS) in Round 2 Heat 5. Alessa Quizon (HAW) (Winner), ‘Steph (Gilmore) knows how to surf this wave and I thought of course I had

to draw her in heat one of my rookie year’, said Quizon. ‘I went into the heat super nervous. I was shaking and falling on my first few waves. Then I knew I had to get a good wave and not fall off. It’s tricky out there; one wave Steph and I were both going and I don’t think she knew I had priority, but I just kept going. Winning that heat takes a lot of pressure off.’ Stephanie Gilmore says that she thinks the priority mistake really caught her off guard. ‘I learnt something; it’s always good to come out from a heat learning something and you can take that into your next heat’, said Gilmore. ‘Sudden death is always a hard one and I don’t particularly want to be in Round 2 but I get to surf the beautiful Snapper Rocks again, which is one of my favourite things to do.’ Round 1 Heat 2: Pauline Ado (FRA) won her opening heat at the Roxy Pro Gold Coast by the narrowest of margins, finishing only 0.10 ahead of Californian Courtney Conlogue (USA). Ado has been in Australia warming up for this event for the last few weeks and her extra time in the water has paid off as she selected the best waves in the tricky conditions and maximised use of her priority. Round 1 Heat 3: Carissa Moore (HAW), reigning twotime ASP Women’s World Champion, continued to build on her dominant form from 2013 in her first ASP Women’s WCT Heat for 2014. Moore scored an excellent 9.00 (out of a possible 10) for a series of powerful carving turns, throwing big fans of water with every carve to eas-

ily win the heat and earn the right to skip Round 2 and advance directly into Round 3. Round 1 Heat 4: Defending Roxy Pro Gold Coast Champion Tyler Wright (AUS) got the best of Hawaiian Alana Blanchard and rookie Johanne Defay (FRA). Wright ended her heat with an 8.13, opening her Roxy Pro campaign with a dominant Round 1 performance. Round 1 Heat 5: Sally Fitzgibbons (AUS) consistently netted mid-range scores but it wasn’t enough to defeat Paige Hareb of New Zealand. Hareb capitalised late in the

affair on her backhand, the powerful goofy-footer punctuating the Snapper walls. Fitzgibbons will face fellow Australian, and event wildcard Keely Andrew in Round 2 Heat 3. Round 1 Heat 6: Australia’s Dimity Stoyle earned the day’s high single-wave score, 9.13, for a barrage of powerful forehand gouges. Rookie Stoyle won out against America’s Lakey Peterson and Hawaii’s Coco Ho, making her Roxy Pro Gold Coast debut in strong fashion.

‘I seriously couldn’t have started my year better’, said Stoyle. ‘I didn’t know what to expect when I was coming into this event; I was hoping I could just get some high scores. They score really hard and you have to get some really good waves and surf really well to get in the excellent range, so I can’t believe I just scored a 9 and 8 in my first heat.’ The Quiksilver and Roxy Pro Gold Coast will be webcast live via www.aspworldtour.com.

Sisters doin’ it for sisters This Friday the Bay Rollers Roller Derby will play the Tweed Valley Vixens in a fundraising ‘Bout for Freedom’ in Byron Bay. The fundy is in aid of Connecting Hands, which is an Australian-based charity that addresses many areas of sex trafficking, from prevention to rescue and rehabilitation. It is estimated that between two and four million women and children will be sold into the sex trade within the next 12 months. The Bout for Freedom features Byron playing their northern derby sisters. All profits from the game will go to Connecting Hands and the work the organisation is currently doing in both Australia and Cambodia ‘Roller derby as a sport empowers women to be strong and stand together in a supporting, non-judgmental environment’, says the Rollers’ Raven de Range. ‘We have a wonderful community in the derby world and, in standing together for this cause, I hope we can help the victims find their own strength and empowerment.’ Head along to the Byron

Sport Umpire Roadshow comes to town Moonshiners ready to grapple AFL Umpires Simon Meredith, Nick Liparota, Brendan Hosking and Adam Wojcik will visit the Gold Coast, northern rivers, Sunshine Coast and Wide Bay from today as part of the AFL Umpire Roadshow. The group will participate in a series of umpiring events including workshops, training sessions and an umpiring course. The Umpire Roadshow is an AFL initiative that enables elite-level umpires to visit metropolitan and regional areas across Australia to promote umpiring and positive match-day environments. The northern rivers and

Gold Coast sessions will feature field umpire Meredith, a 217-game veteran who officiated at the 2013 AFL Grand Final, and boundary umpire Liparota, another AFL finals veteran. Victorian field umpire Brendan Hosking will join with 2013 AFL Grand Final goal umpire, Adam Wojcik,

for the Sunshine Coast and Wide Bay leg of the tour. AFL Queensland community umpiring development officer Pierce Field, who will travel with the groups, said the roadshow would provide a unique opportunity for the regions’ umpiring fraternity. ‘The Umpire Roadshow is a great chance for young and aspiring umpires to tap into the expertise of the AFL’s elite-level umpires’, said Field. ‘These guys have worked long and hard to progress through the ranks and their stories will be invaluable to our young umpires who want to take their skills to the next level.’

Far North’s finest win at State Championships The NSW Surf Lifesaving Age Championships, supported by ClubsNSW staged at Umina and Ocean beaches on the central coast over the weekend, produced another batch of team and individual state under-9 to under 14-champions. Autumn came early to the nippers’ carnival that drew 3,500 competitors from 80 clubs along the eastern seaboard from as far north as the NSW/QLD border to Pambula in the south. Showers over the threeday competition made conditions hard-going for athletes and families and cut the day one program short. By Sunday’s finals the best was offered after the traditional morning march past; pleasant, dry conditions

coupled with a light onshore breeze. Heats interspersed with gold medal flag finals ran through to Saturday afternoon when the relay and individual sprint finals drew a large crowd to Ocean Beach’s sand track. On Sunday attention turned to the water at Ocean Beach for the surf and board events and the carnival highpoint, the under-14 ironman and woman. One of the biggest and most successful clubs at the 2014 Country Champs, Cudgen Headland SLSC, travelled to State with an elite team of just over 20. Team manager, Darren Jones, said owing to the higher standard of the NSW Champs only the kids who are serious competitors

make the long ten-hour trip down to Umina. ‘It’s great for their development to compete at State’, said Darren. ‘They’re up against the best of the best that this state has to offer, including kids from Sydney, who have been picked from such a large talent pool compared with our smaller region that any result is an amazing achievement.’ Hayley Smith finished with a bronze in the U12s Ironwoman while Tom Swift got silver in the U12s Board. Byron Bay’s Brad Hunt was the only medal winner from the club this year winning gold in the U13s Sprint while Yamba’s Kalani Ives won gold in the U9s Female Board. Starting next Friday,

Brunswick Valley win cricket grand final The Brunswick Valley U16s played the interdistrict Grand Final against Lismore on February 23. Brunswick won the toss and batted with a rapid-fire opening start of 99 between Angus Callan and Evan Litchfield (13) in just 17 overs, setting the game up. Angus went on to score a very good 90. Isaac Fisher batted very patiently to steady the innings for 38, Lewin Maladay 14, then Max Bryant with a typical classy hit hitting 42. Connor Ziebell and Cameron Daniels finished off the innings with 13 and 14, leaving Brunswick Valley a very good 8 for 268 off 50 overs. Kevin Warid was the pick

of the Lismore bowlers with 3–49. Connor Ziebell took a wicket with his 2nd ball then the other opener Tom McMahon followed suit in his opening over, Lismore left reeling at 2–0 then 3–7, Lismore were dismissed for 73 with Connor, Tom and Max Bryant taking two wickets each, Will Barlow 2 for 4 off his two overs. Lewin Maladay took two catches in fine wicket keeping as well as captaining the side with distinction, Angus Callan capping a man-of-the match performance also taking three catches. Brunswick Valley had a great win and are continuing on to show how good a team they are.

Comprehensively covering the NSW Far North Coast

Experienced home buyers seeking investment from next property: Commbank With property investment a hot topic of conversation among buyers and sellers alike, new research from CommBank reveals many home buyers want an investment opportunity from their next property purchase. According to the survey of more than 1,000 home buyers, almost half (47 per cent) recently purchased, or intend to purchase, an investment property. Of these, 65 per cent are home owners purchasing a new investment property, nearly one in five (17 per cent) will turn their current property into an investment and 15 per cent are renters who will purchase a property solely for investment purposes. The primary purchasing motivations among these new investors are: • ‘property is the best way to invest my money’ (54 per cent); • ‘low interest rates mean it’s a great time to be investing in property’ (30 per cent); and • ‘to plan for retirement’ (27 per cent).

The key property purchasing considerations among these investors are how close a property is to amenities and the value of the home loan repayments. This is in contrast to home buyers who say a low-maintenance property is the key purchasing consideration, with 90 per cent stating an easyto-maintain property, or one that requires little upkeep, is at the top of their list. Clive van Horen, general manager of home loans at the Commonwealth Bank, says seeking advice from lending experts is key to a successful property purchase. Whether your purchase is for an investment opportunity, your first or next home or simply your first renovation project, getting the right advice for your purchasing needs is essential. My tip for all prospective home buyers is to do your research, compare property prices across suburbs, and prioritise your requirements. Seeking expert advice from your

home loan provider is a good place to start,’ said Mr van Horen. With mixed market conditions providing a variety of opportunities for home buyers, the majority (86 per cent) are prepared to make compromises to get their next property. According to the research, the top four factors home buyers would be willing to compromise on are: • the size (29 per cent); • the price (25 per cent); • the location (24 per cent); and • if a property requires little or no renovation (24 per cent). ‘Although it’s not surprising many home buyers are prepared to compromise on their next property purchase, what’s important is making the right compromises. If you have a fixed budget, consider a different suburb or type of property. Likewise, if you can afford a little more think about which location and property type is going to give

the biggest bang for your buck,’ said Mr van Horen. While many home buyers are looking to become property investors, among those who are looking for a new home almost half are looking to upgrade (45 per cent), one-third are looking to relocate (33 per cent) and 14 per cent are looking to downsize. Although 95 per cent of home buyers say their number-one

consideration when purchasing a subsequent property is the sale price, unsurprisingly many of those looking for new homes are also concerned with getting the maximum price for their existing property. More than 78 per cent of those looking to buy a new home think work needs to be done to their existing property to get it ready for a sale, spending an average of more than $12,300 to maximise

its selling price. This increases to $13,300 for those looking to upgrade and $12,800 for home buyers relocating, but drops to $7,900 for downsizers. Interestingly, while subsequent home buyers have experience in the home-buying process, more than half (57 per cent) agree it’s more stressful juggling a sale and a purchase of a property at the same time than buying a first home.

The Byron Shire Echo March 4, 2014 43

Backlash While our local council and state government seem relatively caught up in fixes-onthe-run for coastal planning problems, with the state government changing the goalposts (as they sink into the sea) on a regular basis, the Sea Change Taskforce is devoted to tackling the bigger issues, and is staging the the 2014 Australian Coastal Councils Conference at Ballina March 24â&#x20AC;&#x201C;26. The conference will consider major issues facing coastal councils, such as current population trends, legal risks associated with planning decisions, and changes in coastal planning policy. Find out more at seachangetaskforce.org.au. As the coast disappears under sea-level rise, the federal government needs to take a greater role; perhaps this is one job for the Green Army. Q Q Q Q

Yes, the Libsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Green Army proposal has often been criticised as another flakey workfor-the-dole scheme using cheap labour, but it does have some benefits for participants, local communities and the natural environment. Participants get an education in the value of having a healthy environment and learn new skills while fixing up local environmental problems. That canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be all bad, can it? The

companies have been trying to scare us into believing there will be shortages, despite evidence to the contrary. The real issue of course is that there is no legislation to protect domestic supply from impending wholesale export of our gas. Q Q Q Q

The Mandy Nolan bug is spreading. Booksellers at a Taiwanese book fair flocked to hear Finch Publishingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chinese agent David Tsai translate from Mandyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book What I Would Do If I Were You: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Every morning I wake up and I think today I am going to be a nice personâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; The next minute they fall down laughing. Publisher Rex Finch also said the interest was big in Nolanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new book Boyfriends Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve All Had And Shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Have, launching April 1 (appropriately) at Mary Ryanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bookshops with a Q&A with Nolan and Steve Bisley.

Green Army legislation has been introduced into federal parliament and you can learn more about the scheme at http://bit.ly/ozgarmy. Q Q Q Q

Backlash is gobsmacked. Byron Council has picked up a seven-hectare block of land for sportsfields in the north of the Shire at the bargain-basement price of $318,000. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at the junction of the old Pacific Highway and Shara Boulevard, North Ocean Shores, close to the site which was the subject of so much controversy for so many years. Could this be the end of the saga? Who will be the first to have a whinge about the purchase? Q Q Q Q
