Bikies face crackdown Police have asked the Tweed and Byron Bay liquor accords to not admit motorcycle gang members who wear gang colours or related paraphernalia to their venues. It’s a move that appears to be aimed not just at local gang members but those coming down from QLD. Byron Accord chair, Hannah Spalding, told The Echo that some venues already have such policies in place, and that ‘members of the Accord that were asked were happy to support the request.’ ‘While we were one short of a quorum at the last Accord meeting, I expect it will be officially supported when we meet again in April.’ Meanwhile, Labor federal and state MPs Justine Elliot and Walt Secord are asking why north coast state Nationals MPs have been ‘denying the presence of bikie gangs,’

in light of the announcement. Mr Secord said, ‘The comments by senior police are very embarrassing for National Party parliamentarians, who said that have repeatedly denied the presence of bikie gangs.’ Inspector Jim Kain from Tweed/ Byron Local Area Command told The Echo the push was part of a statewide general trend. He confirmed that two club houses remaining in the region belong to the Mongols at Chinderah and Odin’s Warriors in South Tweed Heads. The Nomads bikie clubhouse in Byron Bay’s industrial estate inexplicably burnt down last month. And when asked about reports of police helicopters operating in the Byron Shire hinterland last week, he said he was only aware of those carried out a few weeks ago. ‘I would expect to be informed if there were.’

This year’s Byron Bay leg of the World Naked Bike Ride thankfully went ahead despite some false starts. Echo reporter and participant Chris Dobney said, ‘It had all the hallmarks of a washout when we walked onto the station and found eight artists and two people, still dressed standing by their bicycles looking somewhat

forlorn. But by 12.30pm the rain had stopped, sky had cleared and the sun was blazing. Soon after 2pm some 50-odd illustrated bodies took to the streets with (nothing but) bells on’. Photo Jeff Dawson Q See Sharon Shostak’s video of the Nimbin bike ride – echo.net.au/?p=87921 at

Rural landowners victims of bureaucratic blunder Hans Lovejoy

The newly formed state government department tasked to advise and manage rural lands on behalf of landowners has been forced to apologise to members after letters were sent with wrong and missing information. Local Land Services (LLS) blamed administration errors for the mistakes, which saw the election postal ballot package to members containing the wrong information for three candidates and the omission of a ‘holding number’, which assists in identifying and registering members hoping to enrol. And the missing holding number appears to be a statewide flub, after

the media spokesperson at head office in Tamworth confirmed it with The Echo. But it remains unclear what, if any statewide response was made to the mistake. Byron Shire rural landowner Alan Goldstein told The Echo that when he received the LLS election pack, it was ‘structured in a way to maximise the ways you could turn your vote into an informal one’, and that without careful examination, there are ‘numerous ways you could make a small mistake or omission.’ Goldstein says that more people will be disenfranchised with LSS, ‘because they will not bother to telephone to get their number.’ ‘The office person said their of-

fice thought this process was being severely mishandled.’ Local Land Services (LLS) replaced the Livestock Health and Pest Authority (LHPA) and Catchment Management Authority (CMA) from the start of the year and was calling on landowners to enrol to vote on a new board.

MP controls board And, like previous incarnations, Goldstein says, ‘LSS beginning to look as if it will continue in the tradition of not actually producing any real outcomes for the money it collects while performing its functions in an entirely unprofessional way.’ ‘The problem with making such criticisms is that it only seems to lead

to another review and name change with no real difference occurring.’ Further criticism of the LSS is that the NSW minister for primary industries controls 58 per cent of the vote, effectively negating any democratic accountability. But a spokesperson for NSW minister for primary industries, Katrina Hodgkinson, told The Echo that, ‘it was appropriate’ that the minister controls the board. ‘The funding base is one-third from the ratepayer, while two-thirds of the funding comes from federal and state government. ‘It’s important the minister has a say on how the board runs.’ When asked if he was aware of the statewide mailout blunder, the

spokesperson said he wasn’t. So what will the Local Land Services do for rural landowners? While specifics are vague, the new government body claims it will bring together ‘agricultural production advice, biosecurity, natural resource management and emergency management.’ As for accountability, LSS uses language on its website such as ‘administering, developing, implementing, delivery, communicating, consulting and engaging,’ while they are also ‘preparing State Strategic Plans and Local Strategic Plans.’ Education and training will also be part of their services, but comes without further explanation.

Children’s ward closure mooted Chris Dobney

Plans to close the children’s ward at Murwillumbah Hospital have come under fire from the state opposition and local federal MP Justine Elliot. Local Health District head Chris Crawford flagged the idea in a consultation paper last week, and said that improved medicines, together with a new paediatrics room attached to the hospital’s emergency department, had seen steadily dropping admissions to the children’s ward. But Mr Crawford admitted that there is only room for one child in the paediatrics room, adding other children could be treated in the emergency department. The plan has drawn the ire of the shadow minister for the

north coast, Walt Secord, and Labor’s candidate for Tweed, Ron Goodman. In upper house question time last week, Mr Secord asked the leader of government in the Legislative Council, Michael Gallacher, ‘in light of the $3 billion in cuts to health in NSW, will you confirm that the Northern NSW Health District this morning met with staff and announced that they had plans to close the children’s ward at Murwillumbah Hospital?’ Mr Secord said in a media release, ‘this is what happens when a state government rips $3 billion out of the health system: they close medical wards’. The cuts come on the heels of Nationals and Tweed MP Geoff Provest’s plan to charge for parking at Tweed Hospital.

Ethiopians receive water well from Byron locals Andrea Herraman

Ethiopians living in the Tigray district have a new water well, thanks to the generosity of Byron locals. It was the result of an unusual request at Diana Ewing and Nick Paris’s wedding, held at Kohinur Hall last December. Rather than wedding presents, the couple asked for donations to build a well in Ethiopia. The pair are long–time donors to Wellwishers, an international fundraising organisation that was set up by Mullumbimby resident Ross Allen. The aim is to supply clean water in Ethiopia, and Nick, Diana and dentist Michael Leach travelled there a year ago. They came back inspired to do more.

The trio said that in one of the villages with a new well, woman and girls previously had to walk up to three hours a day to collect fifteen litres of contaminated water for their families. Now they walk just twenty minutes to a clean source of water.

Walk to water Thanks to the generosity of Byron Shire residents and Nick and Diana’s wedding guests, the goal of $6,000 for a well has been reached along with nearly $2,000 lined up towards a second well. Other local organisations are also involved – to make a donation towards a well, contact Diana Ewing at the Yellow Church Yoga Centre, Mullumbimby, or go to www. wellwishersethiopia.com.

Rail corridor as Byron bypass ‘unlikely’: mayor Residents of the Grab the Rail group have been dealt a blow in their effort to lobby Council and the state government over Byron Bay’s bypass plans. The group wants the disused rail corridor utilised as a bypass instead of the planned Butler Street route, which will see a considerable increase in traffic along that road. But Cr Richardson said, ‘Enquiries to Transport for NSW (TfNSW) as owner of the rail asset and their agent John Holland Rail, who have the contract for property management, have confirmed that an Act of Parliament is required to remove

the status of the rail corridor. Even if the Act was changed to allow other transport purposes, minimum widths and standards would still apply, he said. And in most locations, he says, the width of the rail corridor ‘would not allow multiple uses to co-exist.’ ‘The current Byron Bay bypass alignment, west of the rail corridor, does not rule out the potential return of rail services, whereas a declared change of use within the rail corridor would,’ Cr Richardson said. A report on repurposing the railways to a rail trail is expected soon.

Another car rolls on the Drive Coolamon Scenic Drive residents are pleading with drivers to slow down after a car rolled on the stretch between Coorabell and Mullumbimby last week. Brian Reichman, who lives on the notorious stretch of road, said it was the fourth such accident in the space of a month on the Coolamon. Mr Reichman told The Echo he was alerted to the accident by a neighbour and ran down to see if he could be of assistance but discovered two ambulances, police and a fire engine already in atten-

dance. ‘The male driver, who was trapped in the car, was eventually freed and taken to hospital,’ he said.

Locals campaign Mr Reichman and his partner Irina Tennant have started a local letterboxing campaign and have collected 50 letters pleading with all levels of government to introduce proper speed controls on the narrow and winding stretch of road. ‘We’ve forwarded copies to Justine Elliot, Don Page and Simon Richardson.’

CARLTON DRAUGHT

The first confirmation of aquifer contamination associated with CSG activity in Australia has sparked a flood of calls by environmentalists, farmers, doctors and some MPs to halt to operations in Australia pending a full investigation into the industry. Additionally, the fine issued by the Environment Protection Authority (EPA) has been criticised after it took almost a year to issue

the small $1,500 fine to mining company Santos. Among other contaminates, uranium was found at levels 20 times over the Australian drinking water guidelines at the site in the Pilliga Forest. But the EPA has told Fairfax Media that the fine was appropriate, despite legislation allowing for a maximum fine of $1 million. Q Read more on this story at

Local News Former shire president blasts ‘outdated’ Byron bypass as trigger for West Byron project Former president of Byron Shire, Oliver Dunne, has told The Echo that Council, the state government and West Byron developers should not be relying on an 1989 bypass proposal ‘that was intended to relieve traffic conditions for the years 2000 to 2025’. His response came after he attended the recent Future Forum, organised by the town’s chamber of commerce, Byron United. He told The Echo, ‘I get the sinking feeling that Byron Shire Council is being pushed toward constructing a town bypass road down Butler Street in order to facilitate increased future development in the West Byron area, rather than being allowed to seek a coherent new plan to resolve the chronic traffic issues blighting our town and its suburbs.’ ‘As an early proponent of the Butler St bypass option, I would urge caution on all concerned. When Council first proposed the idea of extending Butler Street to a new rail crossing down next to Browning Street at Mitre 10, it was 1989, and the intention was to overcome the barrier of a railway line which was still in use. Council also needed to facilitate the proposed population growth allowed for in the 1988 LEP. ‘In 1989, Suffolk Park was half its size and the new housing suburb at Baywood Chase and Byron Hills had just been rezoned. The high school had just been opened and the Catholic primary school was proposing to move alongside it. Sunrise Beach still had large areas of undeveloped land to come on stream and likewise the industrial estate. ‘It was intended that the new crossing would allow Council to upgrade the en-

‘If the 1989 bypass proposal is just rejigged up as the 2014 bypass proposal and is held up as sorting out the traffic issues, then the EIS will likely fail, either by Council vote or by court challenge.’ tire traffic management regime right through the town centre, leading eventually to some road closures, others being changed to one way and a move to a slower, more relaxed town centre where bikes and pedestrians would have equal and sometimes better rights with vehicular traffic.

Roundabout at capacity in 2000 ‘After I left Council, the council continued the effort, and in 1993 the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) was approved and the funding effort was well under way. ‘Then a new council in the mid-90s effectively abandoned the effort and it’s gone around in circles since. ‘The intersection at Jonson and Lawson streets at Timperley Corner had reached its capacity back in 2000 as predicted in the 1993 EIS. ‘You simply cannot get another car through the intersection at peak periods due to the interplay with pedestrians needing to move between Main Beach and the town

centre. If the 1989 bypass proposal is just rejigged up as the 2014 bypass proposal and this is held up as sorting out the traffic issues as described above, then the EIS will likely fail, either by Council vote or by court challenge as happened with the 1996 sewerage works upgrade. ‘If that comes to pass, neither Council nor the state government will be in any better shape to let the West Byron development proceed.

Greens ‘sabotage’ ‘This rezoning has to be contingent on the bypass EIS approval being safely negotiated through the residents of the town and importantly Butler Street. My sympathy is entirely with the mayor and Council on this one, even if I can’t forgive the Greens for sabotaging the original proposal agreed over 20 years ago. ‘The mayor told the seminar that a new Byron Bay traffic management plan is proposed. Well, in my view it can’t be some long-term aspirational goal – it has to be a critical part of this EIS to

National Parks at risk: MP The recommendations of an inquiry into the impacts of tourism would leave NSW National Parks at risk from development and fossicking, Byron Bay-based NSW Greens MP Jan Barham says. ‘I’m alarmed that the inquiry has recommended allowing the development of

tourist accommodation and supporting fossicking within parks. ‘This is a missed opportunity to recognise the importance of reserving pristine natural areas, and the value it contributes to the state’s tourism appeal,’ Ms Barham said.

demonstrate that this bypass proposal actually works. ‘Why would Council spend a million dollars planning and designing a new road, with a construction outlay of probably $10m plus when you include the extra roundabout improvements and necessary road and traffic changes to the town centre, if the EIS cannot demonstrate that there is a significant, measurable improvement in traffic conditions in the existing town not to mind down the track? ‘Of course, it shouldn’t. ‘What needs to be done is to get all the facts on the table and then the town can decide. ‘As a preliminary to the EIS, we need an independent expert traffic engineering assessment of the catchment from Suffolk Park to Ewingsdale along with costings of other route options including using the abandoned rail corridor, closing off the Lawson Street rail crossing and not using Shirley Street.’

Local News Stirring the green cauldron of Byron tourism Mandy Nolan

Outside of Sydney, the Byron Shire experiences the most amount of visitation of anywhere in the state. Ironically, although we are a popular destination, tourism operator and founder of Green Cauldron Tours Kristina Drapes believes that we are ‘an immature tourism destination.’ After having worked for the now defunct Northern Rivers Tourism, Kristina believes that the Shire needs to address some key issues when it comes to taking control of their market share.

No marketing ‘We haven’t had a co-operative approach to tourism in this area, one where industry and the council and the businesses, all the stakeholders, are working together. ‘We haven’t marketed ourselves to the tourism distribution networks, so we haven’t necessarily been getting the types of tourists that want to go on tours and get to know a destination. ‘We have been mainly attracting people that just come to go to the beach and to party.’

An image from the Green Cauldron Tours website www.greencauldrontours.com.

According to Ms Drapes, the problem is simple. ‘We haven’t really marketed our destination. There is a whole world of tourism out there with all these travel companies around the world, many of whom have never heard of Byron Bay.’ In response to what Kristina identifies as a gaping hole in the market, she has created Green Cauldron Tours in partnership with Tweed Byron Transit. ‘I put the application in for funding for regional product funding through Destination NSW. The concept was to schedule day tours and private tours that explore Wollumbin and surrounding areas so as to create a new product for people who are interested in

getting to know what is so special about the area.’ ‘At the time I put in the application, there was Nimbin Day Tours for the backpackers and Wildlife Vision Walks with Wendy and that was really all that was on offer,’ says Ms Drapes. ‘We definitely need to take the pressure off Byron and spread it across the region to attract the types of visitors who are really interested in this destination and what sets it apart.’

Pressure off Byron In putting Green Cauldron Tours together, one of the challenges for Kristina says was that there weren’t a lot of attractions to go to. She had to develop new product. ‘I was looking for private

properties and also places where we could see the top of Mt Warning and get a feeling of the energy of it. For instance, we go to the private property of Mt Warning Spring Water which belongs to the Martin family. They have a stunning property at the back of Mt Warning. They live there and they bottle the water onsite. ‘Their family has been there over 100 years, and their great great grandfather had very positive interactions with the Indigenous people and they have wanted to give back to Indigenous communities so they set up another brand called Yaru Water, 51 per cent owned by a local Indigenous family. The profit from Yaru Water runs an Aboriginal leadership program where they take Aboriginal kids from all over Australia and connect them back to country in a facility on the Martins property run by Indigenous leaders. ‘It is a chance to see ancient and modern cultures sitting together.’ Feedback on the tour has been fantastic, says Drapes. ‘It changes people’s perspective. Even people who live in the area have said they had no idea all this was here.’

Protesters demand koala bypass Andrew Jennings

Dozens of protesters converged outside the Ballina office of National Party state MP Don Page on Tuesday and called on the state government for action on two environmental concerns for the region: namely the planned Pacific Highway route through at least three koala colonies south of Ballina and the potential impact of CSG mining. The koala protesters, led by Green Ballina councillor Jeff Johnson, called on Mr Page as local MP and minister for the north coast to demand that the RMS (Roads and Maritime Services) re-examine other highway options and move to protect this important wildlife corridor and habitat. ‘The highway can be upgraded within the

existing road corridor with bypasses of Broadwater and Wardell,’ Cr Johnson said. ‘A nationally listed species will be threatened if this proposal isn’t reconsidered’.

200 koalas under threat

VODKA O

It’s a position supported by environmental scientist Dr Effie Ablett, who said that if the highway goes ahead through its intended route, ‘it’s very likely many of the 200 koalas living there will not survive the construction phase of the road and it could see the population wiped out’. Mr Page told The Echo he was in Parliament last Tuesday and therefore wasn’t available to the protesters. ‘I have made representations to Minister Gay regarding the koala situation,’ he said.

Can Tony take away handouts to the rich?

Volume 28 #39

March 11, 2014

Capitalism’s collateral It’s commonly known that capitalism is a voracious over-eater. But can anything be done to slow down or even stop habitat destruction that threatens the survival of future generations? Laws and legislation are the framework to address it, says UK-based international environmental lawyer and author Polly Higgins, who will speak on the topic at Mullumbimby Civic Hall on Saturday March 15. She is promoting the idea that Ecocide, or the destruction of living habitats, should be considered a crime along with genocide and war crimes. She has redrafted Ecocide legislation, which was dropped from UN’s Crimes Against Humanity list when The International Criminal Court was enacted after the Second World War. Currently that list includes genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and crimes of aggression. But given nations have always flaunted the rule of law – especially after the atrocities of WW II – how effectual would it be? PM Abbott, for instance, embraces God as the reason to plunder the natural environment. He said as much to a forestry industry gathering last week. Supposedly it’s what Jesus would have wanted. Others however, would prefer to maintain the delicate and largely incomprehensible ecosystem that provides everyone on this planet with a stable climate. But will that logic prevail since the West’s economic model depends on resource extraction and a questionable interpretation of god/s? As futurist R Buckminster Fuller said, ‘We are not going to be able to operate our Spaceship Earth successfully nor for much longer unless we see it as a whole spaceship and our fate as common. It has to be everybody or nobody.’ Doors for Ms Higgins’s event open at 6pm and it will be chaired by SCU lecturer in law, Aidan Ricketts (author of The Activists’ Handbook) and myself. Welcome to Country is at 7pm, and a Q&A will follow her talk. Hans Lovejoy, editor

he latest acrobatic feat of policy by our agile prime minster seems to involve a decisive, if not entirely graceful, lurch to the right. Abbott is taking very hard line on Qantas and appears anxious to take the role of a free market warrior in the mould of Margaret Thatcher, not for turning and enough is enough. We know this is so because we are informed of the fact by Dennis Shanahan, The Australian’s journalist embedded – nay, implanted – in Abbott’s office. Apparently while cabinet was unanimous in rejecting Qantas CEO Tony Joyce’s initial request for a $3 billion unsecured loan, an ambit claim presumably based on the well-known economic principle of no hide, no Christmas box, there was more sympathy for the idea of a loan guarantee. After all, the government was happy to provide something of the kind to the private banks, so why not Australia’s own airline? Treasurer Joe Hockey went so far as to suggest that it could be justified by the cuts Joyce was promising, which would make Qantas a viable business model. But Abbott was having none of it. One option, and one option only: amend the Qantas sales act to allow the domestic arm of the company to fall under foreign ownership. And if Labor would not let it through the senate, well, Bill Shorten could wear the blame. Shorten won’t, of course: Abbott is the prime minister and if Qantas goes under on his watch, there is nowhere else for the buck to stop. But in the meantime at least, Abbott is getting generous applause from the hard right, and that’s something he seldom receives. It is not entirely clear what has promoted this sudden drying out of a politician who has previously gloried in his pragmatism – for which read opportunism.

It could be a perception that Hockey had been making most of the running on the hard economic decisions and receiving most of the kudos: Abbott perhaps feels the need to outflank him before he can become a political threat; after all, according to the polls, his own leadership is still less than popular. Or it could be a belated attempt to escape the confusing contrast of his lavish treatment of Cadbury and his ruthless abandonment of SPC Ardmona. Or it could be no more than another example of Abbott’s life-long desire to appear hairy-chested and macho.

The heavy polluters, subsidised by the Commonwealth, continue their activities whatever the environmental cost. by Mungo MacCallum Of course, it could be a sudden midlife crisis, a genuine conversion to a neo-Liberal view of the world. But this seems improbable. Abbott’s economics have been too wet for too long for him to dehydrate overnight. His introduction to the dismal science probably came when he first read the thoughts of Bartholomew Augustine Santamaria during his school years. While the unforgiving figure is generally remembered as the bane of the Labor party, Santamaria was no friend of free enterprise; indeed, he once said that he had never voted Liberal in his life, and there is no reason to disbelieve him. His own economics were based on a sort of fuzzy rural socialism; his model was Switzerland and he envisaged an Australia built around co-operatives in which sturdy communities of workers were supervised by a central planning authority in which the Catholic bishops somehow played a leading role.

conservative, unhesitatingly following the Vatican line on socalled moral issues, but an economic moderate always afraid of taking positions too extreme for the voters. He was, we were assured by his supporters – at least until last week – the only minister who seriously opposed Howard’s WorkChoices, and claimed vindication for his stance after the 2007 election defeat. A major test of his newfound toughness will be whether he hardens up on the need for industrial relations reform if, as expected, the Productivity Commission report recommends drastic changes. But here are other elephants in the room too, the bulkiest and most awkward being Abbott’s pet parental leave scheme, to which he is stubbornly clinging in the teeth of almost unanimous opposition. And then there is the private health insurance rebate, a firm promise for the future which Abbott shown no signs of abandoning. These are both defining ex-

amples of money bins where the age of entitlement is apparently to linger on long after Hockey declared it over and dead. But they are only the tips of a lot of very big icebergs. Whatever Hockey’s commission of audit eventually come up with, there is no real doubt that the amount of welfare payments going to those not in real need of them is unconscionable: if there are cuts, this is the area which should be hardest hit. Abbott may say that direct help to taxpayers is a little different from bailing out companies that have got themselves into trouble, and he is no doubt right; but what about companies that are highly profitable, pay very little tax and get huge government subsidies nonetheless? Yes, we do mean the mining industry with its cheap diesel fuel and ability to write off investments and loans practically at will. And then there are the heavy polluters, usually subsidised by both the Commonwealth and the states to continue their activities whatever the environmental cost. And the financial and superannuation industries, granted favours and concessions on a regular basis. It is one thing to play the tough guy where Qantas, and Holden and SPC Ardmona, are concerned; even if unemployment is rising; these can be treated as one-offs, and with judicious handouts here and there the political consequences can be minimised, But a root-andbranch attack on the millions of recipients of middle-class welfare, or the seriously rich and aggressive transnationals – well, that is something altogether different. No matter how much Abbott’s fans cheer as their hero thumps his chest about Qantas, the rest of us are not yet holding our breath. Q See Mungo’s video at

Abbott presumably improved upon this theory during his time studying economics at Oxford, but although Margaret Thatcher was in power by then, her hardline ideas had not penetrated the hallowed halls of academe. Abbott admired her political success, but there is no indication that he adopted her uncompromising ideology. Indeed, when he entered politics, he was initially willing to mediate, to find a middle path. John Howard described himself as an economic conservative, but a social moderate. Abbott was rather the reverse: a social

Letters G20’s role Mungo reports that the G20 ‘represents not only the first world but much of the rest as well’. This would be accurate if a few words were added so it reads, ‘represents the financial and commercial interests not only of the first world but much of the rest as well.’ The politicians’ role is to comply and ‘go for growth’ as the monetary system demands.

Trees under threat Just north of Broken Head Hall, it seems as though some 40 trees have already been earmarked for removal by the road builders within Council... again. As concerned residents have learnt from the past, some numbers have been painted on targeted trunks as the first stage of assessment. Some of the trees are huge and ecologically significant blackbutt and tallowood and are often many metres from the road edge. During the life of the last council, I addressed councillors on the exact same issue for a stretch of road a bit further north. After a number of significant trees were cut down, work was stopped and councillors subsequently voted to upgrade the road without destroying further trees. That stretch of road has since been upgraded with no further unnecessary loss of trees. The councillors of the time, and the wider community in general, were unaware of what was being advanced by certain council staff. This was a complete lack of consultation with the elected body and the local community. Is this happening again? There is no doubt that roadworks need to be done in this area. Do so many trees need to go for it to happen? I don’t think so and the proof

A need to march in March Q Thank you, Ron Priestley, for your strong condemnation of this government’s cruel and dishonourable treatment of asylum seekers/refugees (Letters, February 25). And for those of us who once had faith in Labor’s principles and policies, their collaboration and even initiative-taking in this area is a source of deep disillusionment and shame. The ‘lucky country’ has become the shameful country and, as we really are very lucky to be living here – something I’m reminded of daily when I walk my dogs – there is no excuse. I hope we will gather in our thousands for the March in March, either in Byron, Lismore or elsewhere to show this government what we think of

them; there are so many issues it’s hard to pick a particular one to protest about but I think the treatment of asylum seekers stands out. And yes, we must now depend on the Greens and independent media to keep us informed, so thank you, Echo. Jenny Coman Bangalow

is the recent roadworks done a few hundred metres to the north. Council can save a substantial amount of money on ecological assessments of all these trees by just leaving the trees alone. The money saved would be better spent elsewhere in the Shire. I hope that the mayor and councillors will look into this matter as a matter of urgency and find a similar commonsense solution as happened in the past. Mark McDermid Broken Head

with all its harmful chemical pollution. Studies in many countries confirm highways as a health hazard. The fallout from a highway is at its densest within 30 metres of the highway and is harmful to health half a kilometre away. The position of the sports field at Lot 5, Shara Boulevard, is just across the road from the highway. I understand that the council has been under pressure to resolve this issue of a sporting facility for the north of the shire and yes, the land was inexpensive, but hasn’t sport equalling health been overlooked? For more information see European journal of medical research at www. ehjournal.net. Kenneth Enstone Billinudgel

Sport and health I do not want to be critical of the well-meaning community members who have lobbied hard and long to give the Ocean Shores community the long-awaited sports fields, but I find it hard to understand, given we have a council which has a green consciousness and a community that is mostly environmental aware, that they would put a sports field right beside a highway

Q I,

like many others, feel sickened by the extreme right turn this government has taken on our behalf. Asylum seekers mistreated. Trade unions investigated. ‘Too many forests are locked up’ we are told by our great intellectual light T Abbott. Support for alternative energies or climate action is dropped off the agenda.

visitors I’ve brought to Mullum who don’t understand the ‘95% declared gasfield free’ signage. Such a shame for such a great initiative to fail to deliver the basic message, particularly when 95 per cent feel so strongly about it. Better alternatives may have been ‘95% say no to gasfields’ or ‘95% say “lock the gate” to coal and gas mining companies.’ Unless of course I’ve read it incorrectly, and my mother-in-law’s interpretation is correct?

The road ahead at Belongil

wife grew up in Byron and lived at Belongil beach where we still own a family home. The one thing I want to understand clearly is this rumour of a so-called Esplanade Road that washed away after a great storm many years ago. Cr Rose Wanchap again referenced this in her letter last week. We have the original land grant (Certificate of Title) supplied to Reginald John Henry Beaumont in 1887. There is something in front of our family home noted as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Esplanadeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;; however, that is

just a word of French and Italian origin for the beach. I am happy to show this document to anyone for reference that no road existed in front of the first home on the Belongil and there still is not. It is merely the indication of the beach. Can you kindly assist me in setting this rumour straight or help me understand where the so-called Esplanade Road really was located? I ask this since it is very crucial to help people know that the Belongil has not changed much in 100-plus years. There was a study done before the rock jetty was placed near the town beach. It was noted at that time by the corps of engineers that the Belongil would suffer sand loss with such a structure unnaturally being placed before the caravan park. At the time Council chose to do the works as the meatworks and other nonvocal homeowners existed at the Belongil at the time. Now the battle continues years later and the evidence is proving true. Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choice to save the caravan park and unnaturally alter the oceanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will has created an ongoing debate about the Belongil. It is time Council

continued from page 9 Arm. The proposed tower site is to be located in a scenic escarpment zone. An objective of that zone is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;to prohibit development within the zone that is likely to have a disruptive effect on the scenic quality and visual amenity of the shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The siting of the tower will easily be visible from much of Main

Arm and The Pocket, and will adversely impact on the visual amenity of all Main Arm residents who live here for the natural scenic beauty the area has to offer. Council set a precedent in 2010 by knocking back a proposed Optus tower for Bangalow Road because of the negative visual impact, with staff stating, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;It can be

Q The foremost precautionary

principle that Cr Wanchap would be prudent to follow in the Belongil rockwall maelstrom is the extrication of our under-resourced local government body from any legal liability regarding a rockwallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s construction, maintenance and possible removal. In the probable absence of any â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;legal clarityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; considered â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;vitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; by coastal planning experts it would be a reasonable and dutiful response for her to honourably withdraw support for such construction.

admits its past fault and lets us home owners successfully use rocks to shore up what should have never been lost. Bill Hayes Bangalow Q To fully understand the folly of the proposed interim rock works on Belongil, it is helpful to recap on some recent history. The works are interim in the same way the sandbags are interim. That is, until longer-term measures are adopted under a Coastal Zone Management Plan (CZMP). Council has been developing a draft CZMP for public exhibition in the next few months. Spending a large amount of money now to fill in one small part of the coast just before a CZMP is considered by the community as both arrogant and wasteful. It is also high risk. A previous draft CZMP on the cusp of adoption some years ago had to be abandoned when the NSW government changed the requirements for CZMPs. To have gone ahead at the time would have opened up considerable potential legal liabilities for the council.

generally stated that a telecommunications pole is a development that does not enhance a rural environment and tends to adversely impact on the visual amenity of such an environmentâ&#x20AC;Ś It has been concluded above that the visual impact of the development, particularly in regard to an adjacent house, is such as to justify refusal to the applicationâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Council should ask NBN to utilise the existing safe underground fibre optic cable that already runs throughout the area as an alternative to the ugly tower, which will emit possibly harmful electromagnetic radiation 24/7, so we can protect the scenic beauty of Main Arm and health of our residents. I urge those concerned to send a submission to

Cr Wanchapâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attempt to dress this madness in a cloak of concern with her claim that the works will â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;go a long way to reduce the harmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of a major storm is bizarre. A storm big enough to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;cut off â&#x20AC;&#x2122; the Belongil Spit, put the lives of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;emergency workers... in harmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and require residents â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;who have had their power, water and sewerage cut off â&#x20AC;&#x2122; to be ferried to safety, is a storm that will not be stopped by this wall. Expert advice points to greater damage to surrounding properties and the exposed coastline and creek mouth to the north. Far from preventing harm, the wall may magnify it. At a cost of over $1 million, significant resources will be diverted from infrastructure and environmental works programs to fund the rock follies at Belongil. In light of this background and costs, the five councillors promoting this scheme need to take a step back and allow the community to have a say in the future management of the coastline when the draft CZMP goes on exhibition.

an atmospheric scientist, admit that man-made climate change is ‘possible’. One wonders if even ‘possible’ would be enough to inspire action to ‘possibly’ avert catastrophe? Lindzen went on to make a valid point that the environmental movement is using alarmist language that is idealising the issue, like ‘Avert Catastrophe’, ‘Save the Planet’, or, ‘Our Planet is Dying’. He also states that our movement is only pointing towards what he refers to as ‘symbolic solutions’. Wind, solar, recycling, weak policies to reduce carbon emissions, etc. Good point again. But, did we claim to be scientists? No. We’re looking to the scientific community for viable solutions. So where are they?

It should be reduced to at most 60 km/h. We humans are very poor at judging the much greater energies and risks involved at higher speeds, and so tend to underestimate the dangers of going faster. As the Australian Federal Police point out, it takes 45 metres to stop from 60 km/h, while a car braking from 80 km/h will still be travelling at round 65 km/h at the 45-metre mark.

sary medical services or even get to the shops, regardless of how close to a train station they may live. No matter how hysterical the bikers get, we all know a bike trail cannot provide the same social, economic or environmental benefits to the community for the same cost as a train service. When rail trail supporters denigrate well-informed train supporters and have no interest in the best outcomes for the whole community, I, like many others, are very suspicious of their motives.

views of over 800 scientists is possibly right that the climate is warming due to man’s behaviour, then, as my mother used to say, ‘Isn’t it better to be safe than sorry?’ And how about we strike a deal to remove any confusion from the debate. Although the evidence for climate change is frightening, as an environmental activist, I promise to stop using alarmist words and will encourage my colleagues to do the same if you promise to stop debating detail and let

the ‘it is possible’ be enough to use your expertise to come up with grown-up solutions to avert ‘possible’ devastation to our Earth. After all, we’re only visionaries with ‘gut feelings’ that tell us that digging massive holes in the earth and burning the material found therein is not sustainable and dangerous to the health of the planet. What would we know? We are well aware that ‘gut feelings’ have no merit in a rational, thinking world

even if they do derive from the subject that lies at the very heart of the debate: Wild Nature. Iris Ray South Golden Beach

Q When a rail trail on the Casino to Murwillumbah train line was first mentioned I thought it would be good idea, but not if the line was to be ripped up. There’s no need, as the 20-metre-wide corridor alongside the rail could easily and inexpensively be used for a trail. But the rail trail proponents have shown they are not interested in working with the community for any

compromise that would see a rail trail and train service as the best outcome for all. Despite all the studies to the contrary, rail trailers continue to regurgitate Don Page’s ridiculous cost for repair of the line, which was invented to justify not honouring a decade of promises. Rail trailers obviously don’t have any concern for the cost to thousands of lowpaid north coast people who have to drive long distances to work every day. Or the young people who have great difficulty getting to uni or social activities, or the seniors who are unable to access neces-

Shore!

Sabi Sushi Café has hit Ocean Shores Shopping Village with a resounding Japanese gong. Owner Jeremy Martin, a local carpenter, has dropped tools to pursue his love of fresh healthy food, and a desire to create an inspiring environment for everyone to meet and hang out. Locals are delighting in the authentic Japanese cuisine being prepared by renowned sushi chef Terumasa Watanabe, head chefﬁng for seven years in Byron Shire. The boys are proud of the fact that all of their produce is sourced locally. And the kids love the sushi train! Jeremy reports, ‘Recently children brought in their 80-year-old grandmother who had never eaten sushi, and now she is a regular.’ First-timers to a sushi train and Japanese food are most welcome, with help on hand to navigate the menu (and chopsticks). Pop in for sensational service, sashimi and sushi, or even just for a cheeky latte with Allpress Coffee, seven days a week.

It’s the ﬁrst time Gary and Sue have worked together but they’ve got it sorted out. When asked who’s in charge, Gary is quick to say ‘Sue!’ (what wisdom). Gary admits that while he loves getting creative in the kitchen at home, ‘it’s Sue that wears the pants at work’. Not surprisingly Sue agrees! Eat in or takeaway at Tides superb home-style food is made mostly on premises. Grab one of their burgers with glutenfree homemade meat patties. The Blue Bottle Burger is a taste sensation with pickles and a delicious blue cheese sauce. Their menu includes many gluten-free and vegetarian options and everything is done with that home-style care. The chicken tenderloins are crumbed with Gary’s secret mix of herbs of spice. They also make their own sauces including aioli and a smoky bacon dressing. They are really creating a name for themselves with customers speaking highly of the ﬂavours. You will get a friendly smile from Sue and the girls. Phone orders welcomed.

Ocean Shores Tavern Check out the newly renovated Ocean Shores Tavern, where brother and sister Adam and Kim, along with business partner Jason, are excited to have completed the transformation into an environment that’s welcoming and comfortable for families, friends, even community groups hosting meetings in the function room. ‘We have always lived in smaller communities where the shops and the pub are often the hub of people’s getting together,’ Kim says. ‘We are pumped to be able to now provide this for Ocean Shores.’ In keeping with their fun family energy, chefs father-and-son team John and Jasper Tervenski are creating some spectacular tucker at the Tav. This is a ﬁrst-time venture for the duo working together, and when asked if it ever gets a little heated in the kitchen, Jasper whips John with a tea towel and says with a cheeky grin, ‘I just tell the old dog he needs to learn some new tricks.’ Having spent much time in the United States, the pair are passionate about modern pub food with a twist, Mexican street food, mouth-watering internationally inspired specials, and shaved calamari and spicy chicken wings to die for. They are all about the kids, letting them get creative with a DIY sundae! Come in for a quick bite, or a leisurely dining experience. The Tav is serving coffee and cake from 8.30am daily, lunch and dinner seven days a week, and is open all day Sunday.

FUNK R&B MUSICIAN JON CLEARY WAS BORN IN CRANBOOK, ENGLAND, BUT SOMEHOW THE MUSIC AND THE SPIRIT OF NEW ORLEANS WAS IN HIS BLOOD. IT WAS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE CLEARY FOUND HIS WAY TO HIS MUSICAL HOME. ‘I was lucky enough to have three uncles who were musicians, and my dad was a musician, and both my grandfathers played music. Also, my grandmother had been a singer in the thirties. So there was a lot of music around. And everyone dug Black American music from different eras, so I got this kind of comprehensive access to old jazz right up to RnB and funk, right up to the seventies when I was a little kid. But the main thing everybody dug was New Orleans music, so I grew listening to New Orleans stuff. When I was little, my uncle moved to New Orleans and lived there for a while, and when he came back he was full of exciting stories and had two suitcases full of 45s, all these great records and photographs. So I grew up hearing about this exotic place as a little kid and just thought this sounds like somewhere I wanna go. The bug never left me and when I eventually left school I was able to get on the first plane and go there. Without any real plan, I just wanted to get to New Orleans as quickly as I could. So I came here and stayed, fell in love with it. Been here now for thirty years.’ Starting off as a guitarist, it wasn’t long before Cleary found his way to the keys. It was something inspired by his musical uncles who were continually exposing the young Cleary to pivotal music influences. ‘One record my uncle made the whole family listen to when he came back – I can remember it because I was WHO’S YOUR SKYDADDY? Tony Fallon has over 25 years’ experience playing music in pubs and clubs throughout Qld and NSW. In recent years he worked as lead guitarist and frontman for Fossil Rock. Currently Tony fronts his own rock covers trio, Skydaddy. When not busy with his band, Tony throws together a slick solo set of well-known covers from the 70s until now. Catch him at the Ocean Shores Tavern on Friday. SUDDENLY LAST SUMMER SAFARI Summer is ending, signalling that Byron Bay’s Sunday Safari will once again wrap up their unparalleled

my Grandma’s house and the only record player was up in my Auntie’s bedroom so we all stood at the foot of the stairs while he played this one tune. It was only the introduction, the piano start that was the most important thing. ‘I can remember it so vividly, because I melted, I just thought it was the most wonderful thing. The piano player I later found out was a guy from here called Dr John. It wasn’t even his record; it was somebody else’s record, and he was just a session man on it. But I thought that’s it, that’s what I want to do, so it meant jumping onto another instrument. But that was the moment that was the record.’ So what should players be expecting from Jon Cleary and the Absolute Monster Gentlemen?

‘I don’t like planning things out too much because it doesn’t leave you too much room to improvise and be spontaneous, which is really a large part of what New Orleans music is about. But all I try to do is mix it up. I’m a student of New Orleans, a fan of New Orleans music. So I take pleasure in playing as many different aspects of New Orleans music as I can. Sometimes we’ll play some New Orleans funk and make it loud and raucous and then other times we might play a hundred-year-old tune that has Caribbean influences, which takes you into another kind of mood. There are so many different kinds of textures and colours so I try and mix it up a little bit.’

THE BLAME GAME If something goes wrong in my life it’s your fault. Don’t take it personally, it’s just the way I roll. I refuse to take responsibility for anything. Even being overweight. That’s not my fault. I’m too busy to exercise. I blame my kids. I was a skinny girl whose body was demolished growing new humans. They stole my skinny white arse. And the breastfeeding thing really stuffed me up. My hormones changed my metabolism. It has nothing to do with the fact I drink too much red wine and eat chocolate. In fact even drinking red wine is not my fault. I find it relaxing and somehow the stuff just finds its way into my mouth. When you work for yourself it’s hard to clock off. There’s always something to do, that’s why I have to drink a bottle of red wine occasionally. It’s so I can just turn off. It’s not really wine. It’s an off button. And when I backed into the bin in the Woolies carpark, that wasn’t my fault either. Some dickhead put the bin there. Sure there was a big sign saying ‘NO STOPPING’ but I wasn’t stopping, I was reversing. It wasn’t my fault, all the disabled parks out the front of the shop were full. And I had a sore back, it’s not permanent but it was hurting to walk so I thought the disabled wouldn’t mind, but they were all out in force, all two of them, so I had no where to go, except the ANNE IN THE TREE Byron’s favourite folk/roots artist SueAnne Stewart is back in Byron! After releasing her much-anticipated album Gypsy Blood, Sue-Anne has been enjoying airplay Australiawide along with some pretty impressive supports.

no-stopping. And I wouldn’t have a sore back if someone else did the washing. I pulled a disk picking up the washing basket. I hit the bin and it’s my husband’s fault. It’s my kids’ fault! It feels so good to blame someone when things go wrong. Especially when they are out of your control. My mother’s a blamer. Her mother was a blamer. It only stands to reason that I should be a blamer as well. I like to think that I am providing some awesome role modelling for my kids. When you are a control freak it’s very hard to accept when things don’t go your way. Like the other morning when the kids missed the school bus and I had to drive them to Lismore. I wasn’t happy. I rang my husband. He blamed it on my daughter for having to wait while she retrieved her water bottle. She blamed me for making her get out of the car and get her water bottle. It was on, blame game in session. I mean, I didn’t want to get the blame for sending a kid to school without a water bottle. What if she dehydrated and I got the blame for failure to provide water? My husband is often impressed at how competent I am at blaming him for everything that goes wrong. In fact the other day he marvelled at how I managed to turn a completely unrelated event, which he had no involvement with, into something that he had inadvertently ruined. ‘I forgot to go to the doctor for my pap smear today – now if I hadn’t had to stop at the post office to post that letter that you said you were going to post a week ago I wouldn’t have become distracted by bumping into Sally, who then wouldn’t fricking shut up. I was bullied into having a coffee with her and I ate a cake, which I’m not

Sometimes it takes a few hours to really plan a good blame, to work out the long sequence of events that has led to your downfall, to find the thread that snakes back to your husband’s leg. But it’s always his fault. Somehow, he has done, or usually not done, something that has led to my downfall. Or my annoyance. When a glass breaks in the dishwasher. That’s his fault. When the rubbish bag explodes onto the floor because it’s been over-filled. That’s his fault too. When I put on another kilo, that’s his fault. Because he’s skinny. And it’s depressing when your husband weighs 10 kilos less than you. I’m an emotional eater. I go straight to the fridge. And he did the shopping so there’s too much food to choose from. If he’d left the shopping to me I would have bought different food. I would have bought the right food. I wouldn’t have forgotten the tea bags. I can’t believe you forgot the tea bags. I can only drink that particular tea. When I drink the other tea it makes me sick. You know I can’t tolerate caffeine. Now I’m having heart palpitations. I sit down and pick up the paper. I should ease up on blaming my husband. I know that’s what men are for, but I guess they need a break every now and then. I think instead I’ll blame Tony Abbott.

TRIO LETS RIP AT THE RAILS The Soren Carlbergg Trio will be frothing and ripping at their favourite gig, The Rails, on Saturday.

s r a t S WITH LILITH An attitude of gratitude is this week’s recommended operating tool, so counter disappointing news, negative views, rising costs, plummeting funds, billshock or love worries by counting your blessings…

E ARIES: Calm control is your best look for this week’s challenging situations, so pause before giving opinions – you know how it feels to be on the receiving end. Sure, give others the benefit of the doubt, but not if that’s costing your self-esteem or peace of mind. F TAURUS: An excellent week for mending fences, building bridges and dismantling barriers to amicable, or at least tolerant cooperation. Notice when you’re caught in obsessive replays and step away. Some things will drag, others speed up; if a fast change of pace is called for, just do it. G GEMINI: This is a time of change and recalibration in relationships; the more tolerant you can be of other people’s inconsistencies, the more understanding they’re likely to be of your foibles. If doubtful about how to proceed this week, don’t just plough ahead regardless – wait for clarity. H CANCER: If stress feels high and prospects low, ditch what-if thinking and don’t let nostalgia (Lot’s wife syndrome) influence decisions. This week’s sweet spot is that right when things look grimmest, whirlwind turnarounds from the depths of negativity to heights of inspired delight are on the cards. I LEO: The present focus on home, family and the legacy of the past could actually make low-profile

Bibb is excited about coming to Bluesfest this year. ‘I am coming out for two solo gigs in Byron this year. I haven’t done that in a while, and I certainly feel that is something that some of my fans have been eager to hear. ‘I will be telling more of the stories behind the songs and concentrating on songs that are more stories that are not so dependent on the band to make their impact.’ Eric Bibb appears at Bluesfest this Easter long weekend. For ticket and program information go to www.bluesfest.com.au. For me authenticity is the key.’ The 14 new standups are nervously practising their routines, getting ready for popping their comedy cherries at the Mullumbimby Ex-Services at 8pm on Thursday.

Curated by Wes Hill, Living Things examines the artists Christopher LG Hill and Matt Dabrowski’s idiosyncratic approaches to animating the everyday, and considers how ambiguity can sometimes result from imbuing things with too much rather than too little meaning. Close to Home: Cecil Bown – By emphasising geometries, textures, and beauty in the contrast between the natural and manmade landscapes, we can see familiar places in a different light. The Splendour In The Grass ‘New Art’ Commission will support a new work to be exhibited as part of the curated Splendour Arts program. $10,000 will fund the development and presentation of a new contemporary artwork in a dynamic environment that encourages critical thinking and experimentation.

Cinema Review 300: RISE OF AN EMPIRE Having studied ancient history at university, I’ll admit that I just can’t get enough of stuff like this. One might argue that Noam Murro’s movie takes unseemly delight in gory hand-to-hand combat – it is a splatter-fest, no more no less – but as anybody who has read Herodotus and Plutarch would be aware, the Greece v Persia conflict was no place for sissies. How good, too, to see the obscure Artemisia (Eva Green) belatedly take her place in a field usually dominated by hairy blokes. An early

champion of the sisterhood, she was much favoured by the Persian King Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro) and fought as a commander at the decisive battle of Salamis, though we’ll never know if she was as adept at decapitations as she’s shown to be here. In fact, the episode where she slices off a hapless soldier’s head was almost enough for me to heave up my strawberry flavoured choc-top. It is 480 BC, ten years after the Greeks’ famous victory at Marathon, and Xerxes, aiming to avenge his father Darius,

has led his hordes to Athens. Much is made of the fact that youthful democracy was under threat, that it was the driving issue (Sparta remained a monarchy), but this interpretation of events is a contemporary one designed to fit more comfortably in our own socio-political landscape. Be that as it may, the movie is an absolute hoot, especially in 3D. As the great Athenian general Themistocles, Australia’s Sullivan Stapleton doesn’t have the mongrel that Gerard Butler’s Leonidas showed

us in 300 (2006), but he manages to find the right stuff when his moment comes to give Artemisia a robust rogering – it’s one of those fantastical sex scenes that makes you think, ‘Jeez, I wish I could do that’. There is an awful lot of blood hosing out of severed limbs, split skulls and slashed torsos (graphically accentuated by slo-mo), but not too many liberties are taken with the story – and Green is an absolute piece of work. I loved it. ~ John Campbell

a coffin to sleep in and an (optional) satin-lined cape? Not any more. Vampires now are young spunks who complement their bloodsucking nocturnal activities

with martial arts and magic. With rare exceptions (like that little Swedish girl in Let The Right One In) they are also crushing bores. This indescribably lousy movie introduces a character to the genre of which I was blissfully ignorant – Rose (Zoey Deutch) is a Dhampir, which is to say her role is to be a minder to a fully-fledged vampire, in this case golden-haired Lissa (Lucy Fry), who is a princess of one of twelve royal families. The opening has the girls survive a head-on road accident that kills Lissa’s parents. We then embark on a dog’s breakfast of a script that lurches from dream sequence to flashback to corny high-school romance

to conspiracy to murder (there are ‘good’ and ‘bad’ vampires, another concept alien to traditionalists)… and somebody throttles Lissa’s moggy. It’s all set at a Hogwarts-type school with the usual factions of gorgeous teens teasing and bullying and falling in love. One of them looks like she’s being set up to be the Malfoy of the group, but at about the halfway point I started to think about that night’s return of the NRL to the TV and I became a glazed-eyed passenger for the duration. Through it all I noticed that Gabriel Byrne (a wonderful actor who must be on his uppers to have allowed

himself to be seen in this) was shuffling around as a sort of éminence grise of the undead, with baggy jowls and Doctor Who scarves. And there was another fellow, long-haired and smouldering, with an

eastern European accent, who reminded me of Ilie Năstase, while Joely Richardson is suitably cast as Queen Tatiana. If you like a good vampire flick, don’t bother. ~ John Campbell

(Rock Hudson had just died), there is an early scene in which a pharmaceutical company rep refers to the ‘great opportunity’ that research into a cure for HIV represents. Ron Woodroof (Matthew McConaughey), a homophobic roughneck rodeo guy employed as an oil-field electrician, is shocked to learn that he has contracted the virus. Advised that he has thirty days to get his affairs in order, Ron rails against fate and decides to take his treatment into his own hands. He travels to Mexico to procure drugs that have not been sanctioned by the appropriate agencies and establishes the Dallas

Buyers Club, through which he can pass the drugs on to fellow sufferers who pay a fee to join (such groups were not uncommon – I had no idea). Lip service is paid to the validity of controlled studies that scientists must do before making pronouncements about public health issues, but the emphasis is on the rightness of the little man against the suits. Politics aside, though, it is Ron’s inner journey that grips the onlooker, not letting go until the sad but inevitable conclusion. McConaughey, at the peak of his powers after leaving behind his romcom career, is fantastic in a role that is demanding both

physically and emotionally, as is Jared Leto as Rayon, the transvestite junkie with whom Ron forms an unlikely bond. Not an easy movie, but well worth it. ~ John Campbell

VAMPIRE ACADEMY Remember how, in the olden days, to be a decent vampire, all the likes of Bela Lugosi, Christopher Lee and the fabulous Klaus Kinski needed were a pair of pointy fangs,

20 March 11, 2014 The Byron Shire Echo

DALLAS BUYERS CLUB The modern malaise of the West lies in a conviction that all of its institutions, from governments to major business enterprises, are out to get us. It is an orthodoxy that, if too often blatantly true, is adhered to mindlessly as the dominant paradigm of the age (‘they’ are the enemy who would deny us everything) – even This Paper rigidly conforms to it. Jean-Marc Vallée’s superbly acted, if slightly repetitive, movie sets its foundation in the solid ground of popular resentfulness towards the powers that be. Set in 1985, at the point where the AIDS epidemic in the US was nearing plague proportions

Muoi’s Feast has created a strong following since opening in 2003. Winning numerous awards for its international cuisine, the Asian section of the menu is the predominant favourite. Enjoy for dinner.

I remember going up to one bloke who looked a bit unpopular and trying his warm mushroom mousse. He said his name was Neil Perry; my blank look must have confirmed to him that he was in a regional backwater. Even my encouraging comment that his dish was the best I had tasted that day seemed to leave him slightly miffed! So I didn’t bother popping in to Melbourne’s Rockpool to give Neil any further encouragement, confining my enjoyment to Il Beccaro (excellent, Italian), Coda (very good) and Cumulus Inc (only someone from the country visiting without their young children could relish, as we did, the experience of queuing for 20 minutes for the privilege of just eating breakfast). Council has plans to renew Byron’s laneways, and Melbourne is famous for laneway renewal. Did I learn anything? A surprising number of people are prepared to stand in Melbourne lanes just looking at the graffiti (art) and none appeared to be urinating. That has to be an improvement. Restaurants like Coda are situated down lanes with ancient industrial use, with cobbles difficult to negotiate in high heels, but no lanes seemed to have actual rubbish skips opposite outdoor dining like those in our Bay Lane. Masterchef judge George Calombaros has the upmarket Press Club as well as Cutler & Co and Cumulus Inc. In addition to the queuing at Cumulus we noticed a surprising number of city people seemed to drink wine at 10.30 in the morning with their breakfast, a habit that may catch on up here. Also, people seemed quite happy to eat breakfast on a footpath from a table constructed just of plastic milk

crates, sitting on a crate; a very economical way to achieve footpath dining ambience. On a different topic, apparently sea cucumbers are under threat because they are being overfished for consumption in the Asian luxury seafood market. Anyone who has eaten sea cucumber may find it hard to credit there’s a continuing demand for this ‘food’. They are under greatest risk of extinction in regions with poor economies and high human populations, yet those species found on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef are also emerging as under threat, according to a new study led by Southern Cross University’s Steve Purcell.

Curly is the last of ‘The Three Stooges’. Brothers Larry and Mo have been adopted. Curly has made it known that he is saving himself for a special person or family. He says ‘last is best!’. He is still only a kitten and behaves like one. Full of curiosity and fun. He is very much a people cat, and is always waiting to greet the volunteers with some of his special attention and affection. A complete package, combining a top personality with good looks, and that mysterious ‘something’. All cats are desexed, vaccinated and microchipped.

32 March 11, 2014 The Byron Shire Echo

Despite recent upgrades to ADSL internet in Byron Shire, Bangalow residents are still complaining of a lack of being able to get a new ADSL connection. An article in The Echo last week pointing out that Skennars Head had limited ADSL connectivity brought responses from residents that Bangalow is experiencing a similar ADSL drought, with one resident saying he had been told no new ADSL lines would be available until August. And even then, speeds are set to remain at less than half of that available in surrounding areas such as Byron Bay, which will receive higher-speed technology in their upgrades. A local industry insider told Echonetdaily there were not enough digital subscriber line access multiplexers (DSLAMs) available at the exchange to meet the area’s growing demand. Each DSLAM can connect a limited number of ADSL lines to the web, so more DSLAM hardware at the exchange means more users can connect via ADSL in that area.

Buy-out fears The informant, who wishes to remain anonymous owing to his involvement in the industry, believes that ‘the industry may be reluctant to install new equipment’ amid ‘fears of a Commonwealth government forced buy-out for NBN infrastructure’. A Telstra media spokesperson told Echonetdaily, however, that Bangalow does still have some service capability, despite reports we have received to the contrary. ‘Bangalow has a small number of ports available to customers who connect directly to the exchange and a similar number of ports available on street-side cabinets that also provide service to the Bangalow exchange serving area,’ said Telstra media group manager Ingrid Just. She added that ‘Skennars

Head is served by the Lennox Head exchange, which currently has more than 300 vacant ports’. But our industry insider says it is not only a question of whether ADSL ports are available but where they are available from, as the old copperline technology only works if it is within 4km of the nearest DSLAM. ‘People living in coastal areas such as Skennars Head, and even some parts of Ocean Shores, may benefit from additional DSLAM hardware,’ he said. But for these and other areas distant from the exchange he said, ‘it may be a range issue as well’. To improve ADSL range requires the installation of a RIM, essentially a mini-exchange connected to the main exchange by fibre optic cable.

Scrapped plans These RIMs take on greater significance now that the former Labor government’s plan for the NBN to have fibre optic cable to the house has been scrapped in favour of the Liberals’ option of cable only to the ‘node’ (ie the exchange or RIM). Telstra says it has ‘plans in place to improve the port capacity at both exchanges later in the year’, with Bangalow set to receive an upgrade in August and Lennox Head in July. Interestingly, Telstra’s reports indicate that different upgrades will be taking place at these sites, with the Lennox Head exchange set to receive additional ports capable of speeds up to 20Mb/s, which is the same increase that Byron Bay is set to receive in November, whereas Bangalow’s new ports will only be capable of 8Mb/s. Current ports available at either the Bangalow or Lennox Head sites also have a maximum capability of 8Mb/s so it seems the lag in Bangalow’s internet access compared to other local areas is set to continue.

Dinosaur-killing meteor acidified oceans Paris [AFP]

The space rock that smashed into Earth 65 million years ago and wiped out the dinosaurs unleashed acid rain that turned the ocean surface into a witches’ brew. Delving into the riddle of Earth’s last mass extinction, Japanese scientists said the impact instantly vaporised sulphur-rich rock, creating a vast cloud of sulphur trioxide (SO3) gas. This mixed with water vapour to create sulphuric acid rain, which would have fallen to the planet’s surface within days, acidifying the surface levels of the ocean and killing life therein. Those species that were able to survive beneath this lethal layer eventually in-

herited the seas, according to the study which did not delve into the effects on land animals. The great smashup is known as the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction.

BYRON BAY TOWN CENTRE MASTERPLAN Request for Expression of Interest No: 2014-001 Description: Australia’s leading iconic holiday destination is seeking creative thinkers to develop an innovative town centre masterplan for Byron Bay. Loved by locals and renowned throughout the world, Byron Bay is at an exciting crossroad and aims to develop a signature masterplan and place making strategy. Byron Shire Council is seeking to capture the famous laidback and eclectic coastal lifestyle, and update precincts with dynamic spaces that will link the town centre to the foreshore.

Through the Masterplan we are aiming to showcase our character, identity and unique landscape and integrate them into the way we move about town to arrive at a destination that is colourful, sustainable and has a sense of belonging through the creation of spaces that encourages social interaction. In addition, the Masterplan will activate town centre spaces and laneways and offer opportunities to showcase our creative industries through public art and performance spaces. The Masterplan will aim to feature a town centre where bicycle and pedestrian movement is featured and celebrated. The streets will have high quality street works and the night time economy will engender a safe atmosphere for residents and visitors. This is a new chapter for the Byron Bay town centre and our community is looking for a new author that can encapsulate our spirit and help build a strong sense of pride.

Comprehensively covering the NSW Far North Coast

Australian housing affordability depends on future lift in national productivity According to accounting and wealth advisory group Chan & Naylor, the recent three per cent increase in value of the Australian property market, which now stands at just over $5 trillion according to some economists, is in line with previous historical cycles and is not a sign of a property market overheating. The biggest cause of concern for Australian housing affordability however is the ‘cost to hold’ a property, which could become precarious for many people if near-term interest rates rise above six per cent and national productivity improvements fails to gain momentum. ‘A person’s ability to purchase and retain a property is a function of their ability to make repayments,’ said Ken Raiss, a director at Chan & Naylor. ‘And with near-record current low interest rates funding a mortgage is more feasible than it was ten years ago when interest rates were double.

‘However with an inevitable rise in interest rates as the economy improves and there is continued growth in property value, Australia’s productivity must improve. Failure for it to do so will result in fewer people being able to purchase or retain property.’ Mr Raiss believes that the impact of property investors on the Australian property market has been overstated. He also says that Australia is now at a crossroads where on one hand interest rates must necessarily increase as the economy improves and on the other the government must aim to keep unemployment and inflation down by focusing on increasing real living standards through increased productivity, which will lead to improved business outcomes, leading to increased real wages and sustainable job opportunities. ‘The issue for value-oriented mums and dads is always going

to be not what you get paid but what it gets you. Therefore a near-future rate rise may seem anathema to many, but combined with a good dose of sensible economic reform it epitomises the “tough medicine” required to restore the country to pre-2007 fitness.’ Mr Raiss believes that the government’s future policy spotlight must focus on creating an environment where interest and inflation are managed in concert at around six per cent and no more than 2.5 per cent respectively. ‘More collaboration between government, which is responsible for putting in place economic infrastructure, and business, which manages labour and raw materials, is required to create an atmosphere of enterprise,’ said Mr Raiss. ‘Increasing productivity will enable more Australians to share in the growing property pie.’

Positive start for new home sales in 2014 The first month of 2014 was a positive one for new homes sales with an increase of 0.5 per cent recorded in January, according to the Housing Industry Association, the voice of Australia’s residential building industry. ‘Following their small decline in December, new home sales resumed their growth trajectory during January,’ said HIA senior economist, Shane Garrett. ‘The

volume of new home sales rose by 0.5 per cent during the month. In January, sales of new detached houses rose by 0.3 per cent, with multi-unit sales increasing by 1.6 per cent. ‘New home sales have been rising pretty steadily since the third quarter of 2012, encouraged by the falling interest rates and the return of confidence to the housing market.

‘The return of house price growth to most cities has done much to oil the market and allow transactions to start occurring in greater numbers.’ Compared with the same month last year, new home sales were up by 17 per cent. The three months to January saw an annual increase of 22.3 per cent compared with the same quarter twelve months earlier.

Is it fair for joggers to consider the path up to the Cape Byron lighthouse as their own territory when it’s also used as a walking path? One resident posed this question after she and her husband were confronted by an ‘extremely aggressive’ jogger while going for a stroll. It’s a shared path, people, and it is not appropriate to expect a right-of-way if you’re running. Find a nice long stretch of beach or a hill somewhere else if you don’t have the manners to say the magic words, ‘Excuse me, please.’ Our informant also suggests that National Parks should look at implementing changes ‘for the safety of all’.

Catch former Shearwater

school student Jordan Turner on Channel 10’s So You Think You Can Dance. Jordan has made it to the top 16 and is certainly showing what a huge talent he is with extraordinary athletic routines. Jordie left Shearwater in 2010 to finish his HSC at the Brent Street Academy. The son of well-known local identity Debra Turner, or Pavitar, Jordie is very much a Byron kid who cut his teeth on Capoeira and Spaghetti Circus. To vote call 1902 55 55 15 or text ‘JORDAN’ to 1977 10 10.

While our federal pollies spend our money on witchhunting the unions, The Australian Financial Review has reported that the biggest corporation on the planet, Apple, diverted about $9 billion in pre-tax profits from its Australian operations to Ireland over the past decade. Corporate tax haven witch-hunting would gener-

ate far more for the federal coffers, right? Q Q Q Q

And while our prime monster thinks there are too many trees locked up in national parks, which occupy less than eight per cent of Australia, Indonesia’s top Islamic clerical body, Majelis Ulama Indonesia (http:// mui.or.id), has issued a religious fatwa against the illegal hunting and trade in endangered animals, which the WWF has hailed as the world’s first. The fatwa declares such activities as ‘unethical, immoral and sinful’. Perhaps Pope Francis could join in and issue an edict for his flock, which includes Tony Abbott, and the Chinese government could imprison a few millionaire wankers in possession of ivory and rhino horn.
