Local MP supports her govt on gas Hans Lovejoy

Again state parliament was in disarray last week with resignations, slush funds, bribe allegations and dodgy appointments debated. But one other item stood out. Lennox Head-based upper house MLC Catherine Cusack (Liberal) lashed out at comments by Labor’s Walt Secord in parliament after Mr Secord said Thomas George (Nationals member for Lismore) is ‘a fierce opponent of the Bentley blockade’.

Mr Secord also told parliament Mr George’s son, Stuart, is the community relations manager for Metgasco. ‘This is the bloke who does spin for Metgasco,’ he said. That prompted Ms Cusack to call out across the floor, ‘withdraw that disgraceful smear.’ When asked for clarification on why it was a smear, Ms Cusack told The Echo, ‘The imputation made was to smear Mr George’s reputation and integrity.’ However when asked if it was a conflict of interest that Mr George’s son, Stuart George, is Met-

gasco’s communications relations manager, she declined to comment. Ms Cusack also declined to comment on whether she thought the fossil fuel industry unfairly influences politics and would not say whether she supported lobbyist or donation reform. But when asked who she supported – either the protesting Bentley residents or her government – she paused and replied, ‘I support my government’s position.’ Despite being cautious with her words, Ms Cusack did elaborate on how the expansion of mining has become a hot-button issue. ‘The mining licences were issued by [former disgraced Labor MP] Ian McDonald. I can’t recall how many throughout NSW but there are a lot. ‘When I saw the map I was very surprised. He took upfront payments from mining companies for the licences, so this has become their legal right. But we have changed that, so now that money is not upfront.’ Ms Cusack was also cagey on whether there is any public support for Metgasco’s planned Bentley operation, apart from Liberal and Nationals MPs themselves. ‘I would personally like to have seen a different approach and wish there had been better engagement earlier in this,’ she said.

Bentley red alert: May 19 Blockade organisers say over 700 police are set to descend on the community anti-CSG blockade at Bentley on or around May 19. Protectors are asked to participate in non-violent direct action.

To celebrate the first anniversary that the Northern Rivers Rail Trail (NRRT) committee was formed, a fundraising event will be held Saturday May 24 at the Byron Entertainment Centre/Circus Arts. ‘Ten years ago the railway line from Murwillumbah to Casino closed,’ says co-organiser Marie Lawton. ‘And one year ago a committee was formed to resurrect the beautiful corridor for a rail trail, something that

everyone can use. Dozens of such conversions throughout Australia have already proven to be very beneficial to their host communities.’ The event will include a meal, live music from Tim Shanasy and Sarah Field, DJ Manie, pop up circus acts, an appearance by the Space Cowboy, a slide and film show, guest speakers from NRRT and fabulous prizes. For bookings visit www.circusarts.com.au/byronbay/railtrail.

Lightforce closes its doors In a move that has shocked and surprised the local Apple users’ community, Lightforce Computers, an iconic Byron business for the last 22 years, had to close its doors and wind up trading this past week. Sagaro, the founder and managing director, told The Echo the sudden decision was due to economic factors beyond Lightforce’s control. ‘The decision was made when Lightforce’s Apple product distributer was acquired by another com-

puter distributor,’ he said. ‘This new owner had no interest in continuing the wholesale distribution of Apple’s products.

Other Apple resellers face similar situations ‘However, this was not mentioned until they advised me they would terminate Apple product shipments the next day.’ In phone calls to other Apple

resellers around Australia, Sagaro says he has found that quite a few are in similar situations with the new owners. ‘It’s a case of big fish being swallowed up by bigger fish, and we minnows were left as a dying species within the tech food chain’, Sagaro said. ‘In addition, small Applespecific shops like ours have seen several income streams lost over the recent years as Apple kept “changing continued on page 2

the rules” for all of us.’ He says this included all Apple software going to cloud distribution (App Store, Adobe Cloud, software as a service); increased competition from the chain stores; the prevalence of online discount stores, as well as the costs of running a business that were going up each year. ‘When it all comes down to it’, Sagaro mused, ‘it’s the wonderful staff that I had to let go which has hurt me the most. I had been told by many of our customers that Lightforce’s staff lineup was the best, consistent service that they had experienced in the years that Lightforce has traded. So much so that Lightforce had just been nominated for a small business excellence award. ‘I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the customers that have supported us, shopped at Lightforce and were loyal to a local business. ‘These are the good people that make Byron Shire a great place to live. ‘You’d never think your local Apple store would be part of a multinational’s larger agenda, but sadly, sometimes it’s true.’ Absolut Vodka $36

Bentley delegation have their say in parliament A group of Bentley residents that live near Lismore travelled to Sydney last week to speak to politicians about their concerns over unconventional gas exploration in their area. Former Byron Shire mayor and now upper house MLC, Jan Barham (Greens), told The Echo, ‘I was very pleased to be able to assist the delegation while they were in the parliament and encourage other MPs to hear the locals’ fears about their future if Metgasco proceeds.’ ‘The Christian Democrats and Robert Borsack from the Shooters and Fishers Party did meet with the Bentley delegation and respectfully heard their side of the story. ‘Many ALP and coalition members also met with the Bentley farmers, but it was extremely disappointing that the premier did not.’ Ms Barham said that many MPs raised questions about the use of police against the protectors. ‘The new premier is now aware of the broad commu-

nity opposition to CSG on the north coast and the requests for him to review the situation. ‘Many people have concerns that the Bentley exploration approval is the trojan horse of industrial-scale gas production for the north coast. ‘The community are savvy enough to realise that it’s crucial to stop this now, so that the sustainable future that locals want is possible. ‘As I raised in an adjournment speech last week, Mr Baird’s inaugural speech in 2007 stated that he expected the Liberal Party to lead the restoration of a communitybased party in this place.

‘He said at the time: “We should never be ashamed of listening to our conscience or to our community – in essence this is why we are here.”

Licences should be reversed ‘Premier Baird should listen to the community and reverse the licence approval and call off the police intervention on a peaceful, democratic response to an unwanted industrialisation of the north coast. ‘This issue will be a test for the new premier and the government and will impact on next year’s election.’

Mullum to Bruns by boat with mirth Story & photo Eve Jeffery

Sunday May 25 is the date to put in your diary for the fifth annual Mullum 2 Bruns Paddle. The event starts at Heritage Park, Mullumbimby, and ends at the Terrace Park in Brunswick Heads. With a broad array of events and activities, the paddle is a huge favourite for both families and visitors alike with paddle challenges and competitive events. While it draws top athletes from all over Australia, the Fun Paddle is for any nonmotorised craft that floats, and the Nippers Relay and Board Challenge are events especially for kids. For the second year, the Ocean Shores Tavern will

compete and is a major sponsor for the event. The Tavern’s Kim Dowling says these types of events are important for both the social and financial health of the region. ‘We love sporting events and this is really ap-

propriate for us to sponsor. ‘I think it’s really up to businesses like us to make sure events like this continue.’ For more information about the paddle, visit the website: www.mullum2brunspaddle.com.au.

Mullum gears up for Big Picture Mandy Nolan

How does a community provide a cohesive narrative which weaves history, helping us to understand our ever changing tribalism, our unique opportunities and challenges? According to Malcolm Price, president of Creative Mullumbimby, this is the vision for The Mullumbimby Big Picture Show: a half-day forum that aims to create a unified community voice. For Price, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about creating a community action plan that can become a blueprint for future projects. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Unless you have a master plan, which is voted on by council,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; says Price, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ideas canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be actioned.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Master plan Creative Mullumbimby grew out of the Mullumbimby Chamber of Commerce, and has been an incorporated organisation for the last six months. Office bearers are sculptor Suvira McDonald (treasurer), David Peisse as secretary and artist Steven Hall is the pubic officer. The committee has asked not-for-profit community groups to participate in the Big Picture Show, and have also enlisted the support of Mullumbimby High School, Byron Council, the Brunswick Valley Historical Society and the Mullum Chamber of Commerce. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;They have all been very supportive,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; says Price, who adds that community collaboration is key. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We all have a story. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to think about Mullumbimby in the same way â&#x20AC;&#x201C; there has to be some common understanding so we understand where others are coming from. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an accepting tolerance

that creates the story of community.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Even before the hippies came in the 1970s, Mullumbimby has always had its own unique tribalism. Sometimes those differences can stand in the way of creating a cohesive narrative of place, but Price believes that this is one of the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s key strengths. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The thing that is really obvious, whether you look at old or new community, is that everyone here loves the place.

No carpetbaggers â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;There is no sense of carpetbaggers where people are here to rip something off. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The cohesiveness is in all wanting the town to be a better place. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;There is a weird mix of cultures and it constantly has you exasperated. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the sense of the creative tension between all the groups: the old rural community, the hippies and the yuppie group which has emerged in the last ten years. There has always been

an interesting crossover.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Looking back to history is also key in creating a story of Mullumbimbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s identity says Price. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Mullumbimby Shire broke away from Byron three times, and the then-council in 1924 created a hydro-electric scheme that operated until fairly recent history.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Mullumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hydroelectric scheme It was proof that from very early on Mullumbimby had a vision of self-sustainability and its own very separate identity. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The whole point of doing the Big Picture Show is to cre-

ate a melting point of ideas,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; says Price. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about putting energy into achievable projects, and engaging a professional process. Its about being opportunist and having clever ideas that we can do in the right way. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We are looking for those bright-spark ideas!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The Mullumbimby Big Picture Show will include a half day of workshops, soapboxes and presentations and great food on Saturday May 31 from 9am to 2pm at the Civic Centre. For more information email Malcolm@socialhabitat.com.au.

FedTalks event moves to June 16 A new date of Monday June 16 has been announced for FedTalks, which will be the first in a series of community forums exploring society and its future. Originally planned for May 19, organisers say they moved the date owing to probable police action at

the Bentley CSG blockade. The discussion is entitled â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;An Alternative to Endless Economic Growthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and will explore the state of the environment movement and ways to transition to a steady state. For more email fedtalks2480@gmail.com.

Greens MPs to visit Mullum, Bentley Federal Greens senators Scott Ludlam (WA) and Larissa Waters (Qld) will give talks in Mullumbimby on Saturday May 17 before they head out to support the Bentley blockade. Senator Ludlam created a social media sensation recently when he gave a parliamentary speech condemning Tony Abbott and his government. The address, delivered late at night, had an audience of only one other senator, according to The Guardian.

Abbott’s boring three-word slogans But the video went viral with Ludlam mocking the Abbott government as blundering and technically illiterate. ‘Just as the reign of the dinosaurs was cut short to their great surprise, it may be that the Abbott government will appear as nothing more than a thin, greasy layer

Byron Shire Council’s draft Byron Shire Development Control Plan (DCP 2014) is out on public exhibition until May 16. Council’s team leader strategic planning, Alex Caras, said the draft DCP 2014 provides detailed design guidelines and controls for Byron Shire to ensure well designed, quality land use and development. Under the Byron local planning framework, the Local Environment Plan (LEP) and Development Control Plan (DCP) provide the basis for development assessment. ‘The LEP establishes the overarching local planning policy of Council, focusing on the permissibility of land uses in different areas of the Shire and development standards that direct land-use outcomes,’ Mr Caras explained. Byron Shire Council staff are available Monday to Friday on 6626 7126 for more information. Information on the draft DCP and related exhibition documents can be found at www.byron.nsw.gov. au under public exhibitions. Once public exhibition has ended, all submissions will be reported to Council.

in the core sample for future political scientists drilling back into the early years of the 21st century,’ he said. ‘Mr Prime Minister, at your next press conference we invite you to leave your excruciatingly boring three-word slogans at home… ‘Your determined campaign to provoke fear in our community – fear of innocent families fleeing war and violence in our region – in the hope that it would bring out the worst in Australians is instead bringing out the best in

us,’ Ludlam said. Ludlam and Waters believe the Bentley blockade against gas drilling is of national importance. Senator Waters said, ‘The Greens salute the Bentley blockaders for showing that land, water, the climate and regional communities are more precious than private profits for the fossil fuel industry.’ All are welcome and the event will be from 7pm to 8.30pm, Saturday May 17 at St John’s School Hall, 11 Murwillumbah Road, Mullumbimby.

The third Aquathon for young kids took place alongside the triathlon last weekend and co-organiser Annie Korff told The Echo a record number of kids participated. ‘It was 86 kids in total, and each year the numbers are growing. ‘We run a “fittest school” competition, where the winning school is calculated as a percentage of total enrolments, so smaller schools are not disadvantaged.

‘The fittest school this year was Byron Bay Primary with their team of 14 kids. ‘The Aquathon is not just for the “sporty” kids. The distances are achievable for all entrants as they can run and swim at their own pace. ‘Each participant feels a huge sense of accomplishment at the end of the race. Most have pushed themselves to the limit and are so tired at the finishing line, but they then feel so happy with themselves.’

Office of CSG downplays Bentley water threat Hans Lovejoy

When a general store opens for the first time in your remote little part of the hills, it’s cause for celebration. When its ideals preclude it from selling sugar-laden junk to the local kids – it’s worth rejoicing. Magira Holmes and daughter Jade live near the new Goonengerry Green Shoppe and can’t believe the difference it has made to their lives; not just the convenience but the store has also become a community focal point with free meditation on Wednesday evenings.

vides strategic and leadership roles by working with local businesses, key stakeholders, visitors and the local residents to ensure a positive tourism industry, ‘that can grow sustainably while maintaining the unique values and attributes of our beautiful community’.

The NSW government’s new Office of Coal Seam Gas is refusing to answer how much public money is being spent assisting junior gas mining company Metgasco with its proposed drilling in Bentley near Lismore. It was just one of a few questions raised by The Echo regarding the proposed Bentley mine after the recent NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) report into the Pilliga CSG operation. That report confirmed saline wastewater leached a number of heavy metals, including uranium, into two aquifers. Additionally, Lock the Gate’s Carmel Flint said, ‘The report [into the Pilliga incident] reveals that the EPA did not conduct any independent sampling of their own, but relied entirely on data provided by the company they were investigating, Santos, and that the NSW Office of Water were effectively sidelined from the process. 170 million litres of toxic wastewater is

now sitting above those two groundwater aquifers right now with no clear plan to clean it all up.’ Despite the damning EPA report, a media spokesperson instead replied with general statements regarding the legitimacy of Metgasco’s operation, citing various petroleum legislation, along with ‘over 300 conditions.’ But with only one sample of surface water movements being taken so far, there has been much public concern that testing was not comprehensive enough to ascertain the impact mining may have over all seasons. The spokesperson said, ‘Richmond Valley Council is providing independent water bore sampling from local creeks and water monitoring bores subject to landholders’ agreement to allow access to their properties. Metgasco is paying for Council to independently oversee the water sampling, which is publicly available on their website. ‘Metgasco has in place an approved groundwater mon-

itoring and modelling plan that was developed in consultation with the NSW Office of Water.’

No water production ‘However, as the Metgasco bore well is a gas well and not a coal seam gas well, water production is not expected. ‘Water safeguards include all waste water being captured in fit-for-purpose tanks with at least 20 per cent of the tank required to be left empty and management and transport safeguards in place. ‘This is an exploration core hole to remove a sample of the geological strata. It is not a pilot production gas well like the ones being operated in the Pilliga. Water produced in drilling a core hole is very very minor.’ The spokesperson declined to comment on whether they regarded the Pilliga contamination, the subsequent fine of $1,500 and the damning EPA report as responsible governance.

The demented duo’s weird marine adventure

Volume 28 #48

May 13, 2014

Two party pigs Who is worse – a new NSW premier who refuses to explain undeclared donations and subsequent plum appointments, or an opposition leader who ignored the code of conduct regarding bribes and took six months to tell someone he had an offer? Sounds complicated and boring, but all that can be said about modern NSW politics is that govcorp morons are shouting at each other from across the room over who is worse. And somehow they think the public will find that acceptable. Can these idiots be any more insulting? Yes – both parties also voted last week against an amendment to the Mining and Petroleum Acts to establish an Independent Expert Mine Licensing Committee, as recommended by the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) following the inquiries into corruptly granted coal mining licences. Jeremy Buckingham (Greens) says they also combined to replace a broad ‘public interest power’ to cancel mining licences and replace it with a narrower ‘fit and proper person’ test. Unlike the classic ‘corporations are people too’ line, it appears to ensure corporations are better people. And why has this happened? Just follow the money. According to Buckingham, ‘Since 1999, the mining sector has donated $5,753,721 to the Liberal, National and Labor parties and they are still not prohibited political donors.’ If any public faith is to be restored, the mining licences that were handed out by disgraced Labor MPs Eddie Obeid and Ian MacDonald need to be cancelled and re-examined by someone with integrity. Integrity? Ha! Hans Lovejoy, editor

t was always likely to happen and now it has. Immigration C-in-C Scott Morrison and his executive generalissimo Angus Campbell have gone rogue. It is time, past time, to confront the obvious: Operation Sovereign Borders is out of control and running amok. Last week prime minister Tony Abbott was forced to snub the Indonesian president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, who had extended an olive branch to meet him in Bali and start repairing the fractured relationship. The official spin was that Abbott had to stay in Canberra to prepare the budget, but the budget date of May 14 was set in stone years ago and the key decisions had already been taken. The real reason, well-informed and (this time at least) reliable sources insist, was that the most recent hijinks at sea of the tight-lipped duo made the meeting impossible; they would have been just too embarrassing for the Indonesian president. Apparently not only had our navy turned back another unseaworthy vessel whose occupants had to be recued by their Indonesian counterparts; in the process they had added three more detainees to the passenger list so the boat actually arrived back in Java with more on board than it had when it embarked. At least that it is the version being very firmly promulgated from Jakarta, and since Morrison will not deny it (secret on-water matters of course) it is presumably accurate. This marks a serious escalation almost certainly not sanctioned by cabinet and probably not even by Abbott himself. Unsurprisingly it was roundly condemned by the feisty Indo-

nesian foreign minister Marty Natalegawa. You can see his point. Turning boats back is bad enough, but it could perhaps be tolerated if the Australian government did not keep bragging about it and telling the world that they did not give a rat’s arse if Jakarta objected. But using those same would-be asylum seeker craft to deport our own rejects constitutes an entirely new level of contempt. Even if Yudhoyono, previously a good friend of Australia and now seeking reconciliation in the twilight of his presidential term, might be prepared

each other to bad-mouth the great southern bully as much as possible, and in office will feel bound to live up to their rhetoric. And it isn’t only Indonesia; via such highly respected international organisations as the United Nations High Commission on Refugees, Amnesty and many others the word is getting around that the new government is plumbing new depths. But never fear, we have our allies: Sri Lanka is fulsomely grateful that Australia failed to join others in sponsoring a resolution for an investigation

Using would-be asylum seeker craft to deport our own rejects constitutes an entirely new level of contempt.

by Mungo MacCallum to forgive it as a slice of ocker Realpolitik, his rivals and compatriots will not. So Morrison and Campbell, always beyond scrutiny and now apparently beyond accountability, have managed to trash the relationship with our huge and increasingly powerful neighbour, the relationship that Abbott once called Australia’s most important. (Of course on various occasions he has also said the same about the United States, Japan and China, and his compulsive monarchism presumably means that he personally feels the United Kingdom is also up there; but hey, at the very least Indonesia is in the top five). The demented duo have guaranteed that Yudhoyono’s successor, whoever he may be, will be far less sympathetic towards Australia than the benign SBJ. Indeed, the contestants for the next presidential election will probably vie with

into possible abuses of human rights during its war against the Tamil separatists. It was, of course, a quid pro quo for Sri Lanka’s support for the policies of Operation Sovereign Borders, a textbook case of the way the Stop The Boats obsession is distorting out foreign policy. All these shenanigans have allowed Morrison to cash in on the national paranoia he has ably orchestrated; his portfolio is now to be expanded to take in the entire Customs Department, and to use it as a base to set up a new paramilitary body to be called the Australian Border Force. This will, he assures us, be under the control of a civilian; a commissioner who will nonetheless have standing equal to that of the chief of the defence forces and who will report directly and exclusively to the newly enhanced minister. Springing this development on a startled audience at the Lowy Centre, Morrison gave

no guarantees that his new force would be any more transparent or accountable than his old one and showed that he intended to maintain the iron curtain by not informing any of those directly affected in advance; officers of the soon to be defunct Customs Department had to read about their new status and new minister in the morning papers. Morrison clearly enjoys Abbott’s confidence; after all, he has stopped the boats, or at least turned them back, which to the voters of the western suburbs amounts to the same thing, even if Fiona Scott still has to suffer traffic jams on the M4. And he is definitely a minister on the make; he has revelled in speculation that he could one day take the top job himself. Which should make the thoughtful very nervous. Allowing politicians whose ambition and arrogance greatly outweigh their abilities and character to acquire their own private armies is seldom a good idea. To take just one obvious example: when Adolf Hitler gave his mate Heinrich Himmler control of the SS in 1929, the organisation was a single battalion of 290. Within a year Himmler had raised its ranks to 3,000 and by the time Hitler gained supreme power in 1933 the SS numbered 52,000. And so it went. Yes, I know, any mention of Hitler means I lose the argument. Gerard Henderson has said so and Gerard Henderson is always right, or at least Right. But that does not alter the fact that Scott Morrison has already done great damage to Australia’s reputation and to our foreign policy. And something warns me that we ain’t seen nothing yet.

Letters Let the market work its magic For some time now we have been hearing the mantra that ‘the age of entitlement is over’. It’s Joe Hockey’s signature slogan because, at six words, it is too prolix for Tony Abbott. He prefers such concision as ‘stop the boats’, ‘axe the tax’, ‘ditch the witch’ and, referring to poisonous wind turbines, ‘stop these things now’. This week Joe will put some flesh on the bones of his slogan when he delivers his maiden budget. I personally can’t wait – and being somewhat impatient I found a transcript of the speech that he gave a couple of years back at the Institute of Economic

Affairs in London when he first publicly condemned the epoch of entitlement to history. It is worth a read, if only to help contextualise his fiscal strangulations within his social worldview. He basically says that western governments have been too kind to their citizens by providing ‘free’ services. As population ages and growth slows, spending must be reined in because tax only ‘impedes individual ambition’ which ‘enforces the barriers of class’ – a concept that the Libs usually reject! He quotes Thatcher to make his

essential point that government ought to concern itself with ‘equality of opportunity rather than equality of outcome’. This last idea – echoing social Darwinism – is at the heart of his thinking. The implication is that governments need only provide a ‘level playing field’. So they should get out of the way and let the market work its magic because ‘entitlement is a concept that corrodes the very heart of the process of free enterprise that drives our economies’.

What percentage of his electorate opposes gas mining? and Why shouldn’t we think his silence on the issue is irresponsible and cowardly?

Progress towards a sustainable future John Vaughan and Tania McShane put their cases for supporting the further development of coal seam and unconventional gas in the northern rivers (Letters, April 29). They talk about transition fuel and the safety of the supervised drilling process. There are a number of glaring omissions in their comments. Firstly, that the CSIRO recently published a report showing that, even allowing for only a small percentage of fugitive emissions of methane, the export of gas has a worse impact on contributing to greenhouse gases than coal. This is because the transport, refrigeration, liquification, export and distribution processes are so energy intensive, and there are so many opportunities for leakages. If Metgasco had stuck with its original intention in its application for approval for development of a local generation facility, their argument may have held some water. A second critical point is that no industrial process ex-

ists that does not have accidents and failures. It’s not a question of ‘if’ it breaks down, rather it is ‘when’ and ‘how large’ is the problem situation. Just look at all the reported problems from all the miners, let alone the ones they didn’t report. So, Tania, even if the exploration well is constructed carefully, it will, if gas is confirmed, be followed by numerous other wells and ‘storage’ ponds, some of which will inevitably fail and leak, putting both our water, landscape and climate at risk. (Why do they call them ‘storage’ ponds? They are evaporation basins.) The drilling of water wells by farmers is a relatively lowimpact activity – such wells are pygmies compared to the gas wells proposed. Nor do such water wells involve fracking. Third point, the protest movement is not just based on risk to the water supply – it is also based on not wanting the development of an industrial landscape in the northern rivers. Gas developments

overseas and in Australia have demonstrated quite clearly that they do not make acceptable bedfellows with agriculture and tourism. Fourthly, there is more than enough fossil fuel in already developed mines and gasfields to meet our urgent need for transition to renewables without developing new gasfields or coal mines. A recent report stated that we cannot afford to mine more than 20 per cent of the known reserves of fossil fuel if we wish to keep global warming to two degrees, let alone develop more. So a strong element of the protest is about protecting the future for our children and grandchildren. So what do you believe in, John and Tania, present profit and a clean future?

There’s been recent word from the Bentley protectors’ camp that ten high-level police turned up onsite and met with ten of the camp organisers. During the meeting it was virtually confirmed that D Day would be Monday May 19.

Is it coincidence that this is when fracking got going on a large scale? As for the IPCC, they do identify natural gas as a potential transitional fuel, ‘provided… the fugitive emissions associated with extraction and supply are low or mitigated’. There is no evidence that this is the case – many estimates of leakage are several times higher than the level needed to allow gas to be a better fuel than coal. The IPCC also say that ‘renewable energy accounted for just over half of the new electricity-generating capacity added globally in 2012’.

Anyone wanting to play their part in defeating this fracking foe needs to get out to Bentley for this historymaking event well in advance of D Day – particularly to learn the ground rules of this non-violent war. There will be workshops on non-violent direct action (NVDA) on Thursday May 15 at 2pm and Saturday May 17 at 1pm run by Lismore councillor Simon Clough and Adam Guise, Lock the Gate regional coordinator.

Erosion of liberties marches on Adam van Kempen

Since the anti-Vietnam War protests in Brisbane in 1966, which led to the enactment of the Traffic Act as an effective means of outlawing protests, various Queensland governments have been especially good at crushing dissent, or at least attempting to, usually by force. The Traffic Act and consequent regulations gave the police the power to stop any sort of demonstration. Permits were required, and any attempt to march without one was deemed illegal. Police were under no obligation to give reasons for the decision to refuse a permit. Premier Joh Bjelke-Petersen summed it up in 1977 by declaring that the days of street marches in Queenlsand were over. ‘Don’t bother applying for a march permit. You won’t get one. That’s government policy now’, he said.

Accosted I recall, as a 15-year-old, walking with friends down the Queen Street Mall in Brisbane. Suddenly accosted by members of the Queensland Police Force, we were required to remove our leather belts and hand them over. Could they have taken exception to the fashionable decorative studs on some of the belts? Perhaps they took a fancy to them. However, as there were more than four of us together without a permit, we thought it wise to comply rather than risk being charged with illegal assembly. The current Queensland premier Campbell Newman has continued this fine tradition with the enactment

These changes fundamentally changed the arrest powers of police in NSW. The laws of arrest have been developed over centuries by governments and the courts and have recognised that arrest, and therefore the deprivation of a person’s liberty, should only be used as a last resort. Many other avenues are available to police, such as the issue of a court attendance notice, to bring a person before a court. The actions of the O’Farrell government, as an exercise of government and therefore police powers, have meant that some of the fundamental civil protections have been removed from LEPRA: the requirement that an arrest should only be used as a last resort to bring someone before a court, and the requirement that police should hold a reasonable suspicion before making an arrest.

fied it is reasonably necessary. This is another important erosion of the limitations on arrest powers. Prominent lawyers such as the former DPP Nicholas Cowdery and senior law lecturer Vicki Sentas have condemned these changes as creating ambiguity within the law, and for being enacted under pressure to introduce ‘proactive’ policing rather than to equip police, who frequently have difficult tasks to carry out, with better training and resources.

No consultation This is particularly concerning as there was no public or legal industry consultation over the changes. They were recommended by two politicians handpicked by the then premier, with the stated policy objective of reducing crime by making the prospect of being arrested a ‘deterrent’. It is not surprising that this has the effect of eroding the presumption of innocence by making arrest a proactive policing tool, rather than a power of last resort. Formerly, the legislation provided that police must not arrest unless reasonably necessary to achieve certain purposes as set out in the legislation.

Sports field now Shores United have a total of 16 teams using one undersized field with virtually no facilities. The club has three senior men’s teams and could easily field another, but there simply isn’t the room on the continued on page 16 The Byron Shire Echo May 13, 2014 15

Letters/Pin This Up continued from page 15 field. In 2012 an entire team of girls left the club for another, in part because Shores United could not have them undressing on the sideline, with no change rooms. In February this year, the club was informed that Council had purchased an appropriate parcel of land for sports fields, for relative peanuts, at the western end of Shara Boulevard. This was Council’s answer to decades of successive green-dominated council neglect in relation to sports fields for the people of Ocean Shores. Alas, halfway through yet another season and with the Anzac Cup firmly in our hands, not even a shovel of dirt has been turned at the site. How long do the people of Ocean Shores have to wait? There is a tiny minority of people, mainly some that reside around the field at New Brighton, that would like to see the back of us. To be fair to them, I do understand some of their concerns. New Brighton is a small place, not really suited to senior men’s football. The club would be more than happy to play on fullsized fields with proper facilities, like every other club in the shire and return New

Brighton oval to a junior field. At the moment we have no choice but to stand fast. This is why we are so excited about the purchase at Shara Boulevard and desperate for the works to begin. The new sports field must include two full-sized fields, with lighting, parking, seating, change rooms, canteen and clubhouse, just like the vast majority of our opposition on the far north coast. If Council are to construct these sports fields and need to consult a local sporting group, can I suggest they consult the user, ie, Shores United soccer club? Council needs to be wary of groups that claim to to be supporters of sports fields, that are in fact small conservation groups that seek to limit the size of any development of the site. Council wouldn’t consult a football club about establishing a wildlife corridor, would you? I believe that, for the first time in decades, there is some resolve in this council to finally provide the people of Ocean Shores their longoverdue sports fields. C’mon, Council, be the ones that made it happen. Marc Patten President Shores United

Shaun, what first ignited your passion for blues? My mother insisted that I go along with her to an Eric Clapton concert when I was about 21. Clapton was touring with Derek Trucks and Doyle Bramhall standing on each side of him in his band and the concert was amazing! Then shortly afterward she also took me to an Ash Grunwald gig and I was amazed at how many young people were at the show, as I was always convinced that blues was for old people only. This changed my perspective. Can you tell me about the first song you ever wrote? What was it called? What do you think of it now? It’s a bit too embarrassing to give it all away but I can tell you now that you will never find me playing the song nowadays!

I never started playing music with the expectation that How was playing Bluesfest for you this year? Did people would like it, so I’m just happy that people are you get to meet any of your blues heroes? What enjoying it. was your most memorable moment? As a young blues musician, what do you believe It was amazing! I was so extremely stoked to be invited that you bring that is new to the genre? back after I’d had a blast of a time there last year! I was lucky enough to witness a moment backstage this year Speaking of compliments, one that I have often received from people after they’ve seen me play for when Buddy Guy, Charlie Musslewhite and Dr John the first time is: ‘I wasn’t a big fan of blues, but I like were all in the green room catching up with each other what you do’. If I can introduce a contemporary style of and having a chat, asking where each other had been. blues to punters who have never indulged in the genre I’m not sure if anyone else was taking too much notice and they enjoy it then I can leave the gig knowing I’ve but my jaw was on the floor in awe! done my part. What are the musical collaborations that have most What should we expect for your show with Daniel Champagne at the Bangalow Bowlo? influenced the way you play the?

I spent a lot of time watching Lloyd Speigel, Geoff Achison, Jimi Hocking and Dutch Tilders play in the You have received some pretty incredible earlier days and have been lucky enough to share the accolades, including ‘best blues voice the country stage with them from time to time. Nowadays I am has ever heard’. How does a young musician take listening to a lot of Springsteen and the E Street Band, that sort of praise? Do you believe it? Allen Stone, Gary Clark Jr, Tony Joe White, Bill Withers I’m not sure if I believe it. Australia has been spoilt with and the list goes on… so many amazing voices in blues – Chris Wilson, Ash If you could spend an hour with any artist of your Grunwald, Dutch Tilders to name just a few. I don’t choice who would they be? go out looking for such compliments but I’m always Muddy Waters. Not sure I need say any more. grateful and humble when I do receive them.

A lot of fun I reckon. And probably two completely different sets. Daniel open plays a very intimate, quiet ‘listening’ gig whereas I like to play loudly and create a bit of a party vibe, so the show with have a great dynamic I suspect. I’ve never shared the bill with Daniel but we have been chasing each other’s tails around the country for the past few years as we are always playing the same venues often only days apart, which is why we thought it would be good to play some shows. I can’t wait!

They say that children who purposely hurt animals often go on to become rapists or murderers or serial killers. Will sufferers of Toilet Rage later become terrorists? Did Osama Bin Laden start his illustrious career by dabbling in a bit of dunny destruction? Did he practise taking out the Twin Towers by driving a Datsun into some public toilet blocks? Or should we be looking at Toilet Rage as more of a benign but nonetheless progressive illness? Do you start off wrecking public toilets and then move on to restaurants, hotels, or the toilets of your friends? I am a pretty tolerant person but I don’t know how I would cope with that. If someone said, ‘Mandy would you mind if I used your bathroom?’ and then I went in when they left and they’d ripped the sink out and shoved my towels down the cistern I’d be fucking pissed. I have empathy but not when you’ve broken the half-flush. Maybe Toilet Rage is just a cry for help? What if it’s just a way of asking for love and acceptance? (Personally I think random acts of toilet cleaning might work better in achieving this end, but people often work against their own best interests.) Perhaps Toilet Rage isn’t personal. It could be environmental. It might be marauding groups of middle-aged people with chronic IBS. Toilet Rage could be their way of lobbying for research funding. I guess we’ll never know. But all I can say is that if Abbott doesn’t address this growing epidemic of Toilet Rage, he’s going to end up with a lot of shit on his hands.

Ahoy for HOY Aquaslum is the debut album from Melbourne band Hoy. After three years of writing, performing and touring, the founding members Liam Linley, Felicity Cripps and Cecilia Dowling expanded the trio into a six-piece band for album recording. The collaboration between Liam, Felicity and Ceci brings varying influences into the band and their songs. As a collective their material is endless through the arranging of songs, re-writing lyrics, adding or subtracting chords or adding sounds to make it a distinctively Hoy song. Collaboratively, the band’s musical principles often start out as conversations about how elements of music can make you feel. Repetition can turn something new into something familiar within the space of three minutes, with songs that stem from personal experiences or abstract feelings including latest single Wild Dog. Hoy play the Treehouse in Belongil on Thursday and they are at the Beach Hotel in Byron on Friday.

At 60-odd years of age Rod Gregory leapt to fame as he wowed Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Got Talent audiences with no fewer than five appearances including the grand final. This late bloomer turned adversity into comedy success after a back injury forced him off the farm. Rod says he was scared stiff of retirement. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;At 67 itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not easy to find a job so I enrolled in a 10-week course in comedy,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he says. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The tutor offered me a weekly spot in his comedy theatre. I went on to have my own show in the 2011 Adelaide Fringe Festival and then appeared on Channel 7â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Got Talent. I ended up coming fourth in the final. You wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be dead for quids,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Rod says. Now at 70 years of age, Rod is performing three or four times a week to packed houses around Australia. His battered old Akubra and good old Aussie humour has made Rodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Old Fella a favourite throughout the land.

People who text while they are drivingâ&#x20AC;Ś Better be sending me dirty photos. If I could change anything about myself it would beâ&#x20AC;Ś My nose. I want to have a really obvious nose job. So then I can be on the cover of a magazine with a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Has he or hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t he?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; photo and it to be so obvious. Yes! He has! He has a completely different face now! The world should take notice of myâ&#x20AC;Ś Extremely self-indulgent Instagram account. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just selfies. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m like a 14-year-old girl. My worst habit isâ&#x20AC;Ś My instragramming of selfies. My most impressive feature is myâ&#x20AC;Ś Fantastic legs. I should be a drag queen, really. I am frightened ofâ&#x20AC;Ś Everything. So much. Tony Abbott, snakes, the receptionist at the hotel Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m currently in. When it comes to Christians I thinkâ&#x20AC;Ś Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve read Harry Potter, too, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bang on about it.

Stars Take a few deep breaths to deal with midweek’s river-deep, mountain-high Scorpio full moon: intense, penetrating, revelatory…

E ARIES: Your boss planet Mars has the solar system’s largest volcano, highest mountains, deepest valleys. It’s extreme. And its present lesson in the sign of harmonising extreme opposites is refining your leadership style. The art of seduction isn’t necessarily sexual, and for most people charm’s far more compelling than demands. F TAURUS: Potent midweek full moon offers a portal for recognising your deeper needs, what you really want. Or can surrender to. Tauran author Luisah Teish notes that our body obeys the story we tell it. Is it time to revise your biomythography, the personal story you believe about yourself? G GEMINI: As live-wire Venus and frisky Mercury whip up a tasty social soufflé of interesting invitations, midweek full moon releases a pressure-cooker of secret stresses. But take heart; as Gemini self-help guru Norman Vincent Peale tells us, all problems are ripe with the seeds of their own solutions. H CANCER: You might feel like just hanging in the home zone after full-on midweek full moon, but this week prises you off the comfort couch into a bubbling brew of community involvement and social projects likely to do with land, food or what’s left of the environment.

I LEO: If this week’s full moon exposes something hidden or even totally unsuspected, powerful feelings may need to be released, processed and transformed. A more inclusive understanding can be reached by flipping the script on the story you tell yourself about who you really are. J VIRGO: Mercury moving into super-chatty Gemini promises no end of meetings, discussions and feasibility studies with stimulating opinions and exciting ideas. All of which need to be closely processed through late-week Virgo moon’s exacting discrimination filter to sort the mad from the bad from the keepers. K LIBRA: Flirty Gemini Mercury and gregarious Aries Venus love having fun, but midweek fixity means others won’t be too negotiable. In which case, remember strength is holding on, wisdom letting go. Would you benefit by letting go a judgment, belief or expired dream currently limiting your progress? L SCORPIO: Nursing grudges breeds gloomy moods, so you might want to address something that’s been bugging you this week. Or not, if the timing isn’t right. Whatever, remember the way you behave isn’t just about you – it has a knock-on ripple effect on everyone you interact with.

theatre, but it is a deceptively simple set, comprising of large wooden frames, pond liners and then filled up with water. It is only very shallow, about 4cm deep, but when lit, it looks beautiful and infinitely deep. Is it a difficult working environment for the dancers? Do they get cold? It is a very difficult environment for the dancers. It’s slippery, even with a textured pond liner, it’s cold and there’s extra resistance to move through with the physical choreography. The water gets everywhere – in your eyes, your ears, your mouth etc – and can be very challenging. Can you tell me about some of the images and ideas you have included in the show where you merge dance with video and sound? We have video projection that covers the back wall of the space, of a variety of images, that all help support the emotional trajectory or enhance what is taking place on stage. There is imagery from a lake we filmed at, outside of Brisbane, some oversized shadows that interact and portray the characters hidden thoughts, a drowning video and ghostly images of the lake. Lismore City Hall Tuesday & Wednesday 21 May at 7.30pm.

M SAGITTARIUS: This week serves up another hearty helping of home truths seasoned with ordinary joys, affectionate pleasures and hearty belly laughs – particularly helpful in dispelling midweek full-moon madness. But avoid any cavalier approach to problem solving; calm, courteous and determined will attract the consideration and cooperation you’re after. N CAPRICORN: Astral directives suggest the key to this week’s peace of mind is easing up on judgments and assumptions – others are already making plenty. With your personal appeal and executive abilities peaking, you’re better off circulating and percolating in the present lavishly abundant smorgasbord of the senses. O AQUARIUS: Exotic possibilities with splendid potential are blowing in the wind, but they require constant reality checks. Like being thoroughly examined, possibly discarded, modified if necessary. In personal concerns, if there are any price tags on what you’ve done or given, ditch them and forget keeping score. P P ISCES: Mucho ferment and fizz in this week’s social zone, which crackles with some electric new connections. And suggests it’s time to refine your alliances, specifically who you choose to be associated with. If you’re caught between opposing forces don’t take sides, do give future repercussions serious thought.

The Roxy Gallery, Kyogle has the distinct privilege of exhibiting a new body of works by the talented and highly regarded local artist, Anthea Moffatt.Â Recent Works is a collection of vibrant, thoughtfully constructed artworks, laden with poignant reflections about contemporary issues, intended to be thought provoking, with the capacity to challenge apathetic points of view to the infringement of basic human rights. Her use of stylised motifs of fauna and flora, decorative architectural shapes, her abstraction of perspective, all go into alluding to time and place, reflected within the natural environment. This exhibition runs till May 31 2014. Visit the gallery at 143 Summerland Way, Kyogle, NSW or email roxygallery@kyogle. nsw.gov.au.

Ocean Shores Art Expo

The Fourth Annual Grace Cruice Memorial Exhibition Group Show

In its eleventh year, the Ocean Shores Art Expo returns to its roots in community activism. The theme for the 2014 Expo is Home. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theme was conceived by longstanding committee member Clency Bernard, who, as a mental health nurse at the Mullumbimby Neighbourhood Centre, is witness to the many factors in peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives that can lead to homelessness. The hope is that local artists will produce original works that explore the theme in all its kaleidoscope of interpretations. Perhaps, too, their artwork will inspire greater awareness in the viewing public of the many issues that the theme gives rise to, including the current affordable-housing crisis in our region. Entries will be open online from the end of May at www.osartexpo.com.

LAURA TARGETT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; MOTHER, MUSICIAN, FOURTH-GENERATION ARTIST AND SELFCONFESSED â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ART-NERDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; FIRST EXHIBITED IN THE OCEAN SHORES ART EXPO IN 2006 AS A NEWLY ARRIVED AUSTRALIAN. She has entered works most years since then and won second prize for her watercolour Improvisation in 2012, which used a technique known as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;veil paintingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Since then, Lauraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work as a painter has been gathering momentum with several commissions and album covers and an upcoming solo exhibition. Artist profile by Aletha Zylstra Lauraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enthusiasm for the Expo stems from its cornerstone qualities: providing an opportunity for artists to paint with a purpose; to see the amazing talent this area holds; and to be inspired by other local artists. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I think this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s [Ocean Shores Art Expo] theme is great. It intrigues me and gets me reflecting on what home really is! There are so many layers of meaning in Home, inner and outer!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; appear free of artistic intentionality. Upcoming exhibitions include DUO: learning the ropes and Jan Davisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Big Garden. DUO presents six young people with unique one-on-one sessions with professional artists as a part-mentoring, part-creative exchange opportunity, culminating in an exhibition. Jan Davisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drawings reference the geological fabric of the land and layers of time and stories that exist in this place. The drawings hint at the musical notation of sounds emanating from the landscape. Also, Join Marc de Jong and Danielle Freakley for the first in the series ART/CRUSH on Thursday 15 May at 5.30pm as they talk about all manner of things including their arts practices. A series of talks matchmaking local artists with someone who inspires them from outside the region. An exciting exchange of ideas about the chemistry of creativity.

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

FLQHPD Chef Jon Favreau has written, directed and starred in a movie that plugs directly into two of today’s weirdest and (to me) most fatuous obsessions – Twitter and the cult of the kitchen – only to leave his commentary on them floundering halfway through. As Carl Casper, he is a oncewas-legendary chef who has gone stale working in the up-market but conservative restaurant of no-nonsense Riva (Dustin Hoffman). This in itself is a stimulating beginning, full of tension and edgy questions – the individual’s creative urge at loggerheads with business’s (in this case his employer’s) bean-counting pragmatism is a perennial struggle. When LA’s most influential foodie critic (Oliver Platt) bags Casper for his laziness, his predictability and (inexcusable) his lousy lava chocolate cake, a war of words between the pair erupts and goes viral. Favreau does well to highlight how hurtful to people the insidious cycle of 24/7 gossip posing as news can be – his public meltdown scene is spectacular. Unfortunately, as things are heating up, he opts to take his foot off the pedal by allowing his subject to walk away from the conflict. Casper buys a decrepit food-van and, accompanied by the young son (Emjay Anthony) with whom he shares custody with his divorced wife (Sofía Vergara), and cooking buddy

Jon Favreau in Chef (2014)

Martin (John Leguizamo), Casper returns to his roots as a sandwich-maker. In what evolves into a soft-sell road trip, the gang make their way from Miami back to California doing little more than eating and having a swell time. I kept expecting something to happen – but nothing does (presumably Favreau was content to allow his film to become a vehicle for the tourist offices of Florida, Texas and California). It’s harmless enough and, as winter descends, it is a cosy way to pass a couple of hours, but the fade to irrelevance disappoints. And without wishing to denigrate porky chaps in glasses and bad hair, that a bloke like Favreau could pull a couple of women like Vergara and (waitress) Scarlett Johannson is, well… hard to swallow.

The conflict initiating and maintaining the story is centred on Mac and Kelly’s efforts to get Teddy and the undergrad revellers to tone it down. All-out war erupts between the Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne in Bad Neighbours (2014) two sides with a string of not entirely surprising setups and site gags ensuing – one that involves the theft from Mac’s car of its safety airbags is hilarious. Rogen does Bad Neighbours nothing out of the ordinary – despite his different hat It was only a matter of time before somebody made a he smokes a lot of dope and gets plastered – but letting gross-out flick that dealt more pointedly with the issue her hair down and venting righteously in the Australian underpinning the genre – the man-boy who won’t grow accent that she is allowed to keep, Byrne is a harridan of up. As a loudmouth stoner who has turned a pretty buck frazzled wild-haired energy and cunning. It is when the from acting the goat, it comes as a surprise to find Seth sub-text kicks in, when Teddy’s best mate and V-P, Pete Rogen swapping roles to play the middle-class family man (Dave Franco), confronts him with the awful truth that with wife and tiny tot in the burbs. Mac and Kelly (Rose Teddy’s behaviour is a manifestation of self-denial, that Byrne) and little Stella (I’m not a baby kinda guy, but this there really is a post-party world to be dealt with, that kid is fab) have their quarter-acre idyll shattered when the the heart of the movie beats strongest.

Happy Chilli Restaurant

Special $10 menu includes soft drink/water BYO Dine in and takeaway Home delivery available

Andy Law learned his craft in the kitchens of Hong Kong and has practised it in kitchens on the east coast of Australia for 21 years. His father was a purveyor of Asian condiments in Hongkong and Andy and his three brothers and three sisters were literally brought up amidst the flavours of the orient. Today one brother and sister in Sydney carry on the family tradition as importers of Asian sauces, seasonings and flavourings. After stints in Sydney, Melbourne, WeeWaa, Tamworth and Pottsville, Andy arrived in Byron Bay three years ago drawn by the beautiful location and social life. He’s recently opened his Happy Chilli Garden in Byron Street after a name change from ANJ Chinese Restaurant because of the popularity of his chilli dishes. He makes his own chilli sauce and believes it’s the secret to maintaining his core group of regulars. ‘My regulars liked my chilli sauce so much that I changed the restaurant name for them,’ says Andy. It takes some experimenting to get the strength just right for each of them. ‘I remember how hot all my regulars like their food. We work it out together, step-by-step until we get it right and then I don’t forget.’ Andy’s restaurant is known for its welcoming atmosphere, good value, fast service and friendly staff. Also he can cook just about anything.

‘Recently I had someone ask me to make them a congee so that took half an hour. If someone wants Peking Duck they can let me

know by Sunday as fresh ducks are delivered on Monday and I can make it for them. ‘Some customers will give me their own recipe. I like to make anything to have satisfied, happy customers.’ His customers include a cross section of Byron society from backpackers to lunchtime workers, families picking up takeaway on the way home, to Chinese tourist groups on day trips from Brisbane and the Gold Coast. Most popular choices from the menu include Pad Thai, barbeque duck, salt-and-pepper mud crab, and Andy’s own favourites; hot chilli chicken and curried beef noodles. His brother Stanley was an executive chef in Hong Kong for 20 years and is currently helping out as Andy had an accident in the kitchen a few weeks ago and burnt his hands. With his hands nearly healed and Stanley due to go home in a week Andy looks forward to getting back to what he does best – cooking for his customers in the Happy Chilli Garden Restaurant.

LOST & FOUND

Late of Suﬀolk Park and formerly of Sydney. Beloved wife of Eric (dec).

Relatives and friends are invited to attend a funeral service to be held at John Knox Presbyterian Church, Ruskin Street, Byron Bay on MONDAY (19 May 2014) commencing at 12 noon, followed by burial at Byron Bay Cemetery.

Toby is a 6 month old Kelpie/ Lab/Border Collie x. Very smart, gentle and obedient boy.

HERBIE says that there is no need to bring a box when you come to adopt him as he has his own. Unbelievably that the delightful Herbie is still waiting for his special person. If you enjoy good friendly company (and a bit of playful fun), then Herbie is for you. Guaranteed to give much more than he takes. Laid back and undemanding. Herbie is a large ginger and white boy, and is about three years old. A real character - very much ‘plug and play’. Just take him out of the box, and he will be at at home. All cats are desexed, vaccinated and microchipped.

Govt measures ‘could lead to massive clearing’ The state government has released a new draft land-clearing code that would allow landholders to largely determine what vegetation they can remove and what they need to keep. The draft code has been released just as the NSW upper house has been debating a disallowance motion against a new bill that would allow entire forest logs to be burnt for electricity. And despite the release of the draft code, the state government still has not announced if and when it will reinstate the environmental zones it unilaterally excised from four northcoast councils’ 2012 local environment plans. In a media release issued on Tuesday last week, the government said that following a review of native vegetation legislation the Department of Environment and Heritage had released three ‘self-assessable’ draft codes for public comment. Under the new codes, landholders wanting to ‘thin’ native vegetation, clear paddock trees in cultivated areas or manage invasive native species will be able to ‘assess their own activities’ using the draft codes rather than having to go through formal clearing approvals processes.

‘Forests fuel for furnaces’ The release comes just as the Greens and ALP lost a disallowance motion in the upper house that would have prevented native trees being burnt to generate so-called ‘green energy’. Greens MP John Kaye said after the defeat of the motion that the coalition and conservative crossbenchers had ‘made sure that this state’s native forests are now open to a new source of exploitation’. ‘As the market for Australia’s native forest woodchips is collapsing, the Baird government had the perfect opportunity to end the destruction of critical habitat and the millions of dollars in subsidies that pour into the industry each year. ‘This could have been a graceful exit from an industry that is dying despite heavy subsidies. Instead the National Party and the industry lobby got their way. Taxpayers will continue to subsidise the destruction of forests. ‘Much more than just small offcuts and forestry “waste” will be fed into the furnaces of power stations. The energy minister admitted that whole logs are eligible to be burnt for electricity. ‘Despite the propaganda coming from the industry and the government, the power from burning koala habitat is neither sustainable nor green. ‘Greenhouse gas emissions are much greater than from coal-fired electricity generation of the same amount of

energy. Air pollution from wood-burning power stations will have unacceptable human and environmental health consequences. ‘This is a government that is busy killing off the wind industry that produces no carbon emissions, does not harm human health and creates far more jobs. ‘It is hard to understand how the state ended up with such an irrational outcome other than by an intense lobbying activity by the logging industry. An overwhelming 98 per cent of all submissions made during the consultation period were opposed to native forestry biomass,’ Dr Kaye said. ALP shadow minister for the north coast, Walt Secord, also spoke on the disallowance motion. ‘Over the past decade both tiers of government have acknowledged that felling for power stations is a bridge too far. But now we have state and federal Liberal-Nationals governments for whom no bridge is too far,’ Mr Secord said. ‘The conservatives are determined to destroy environmental protections that are iconic in the Australian consciousness. I point to the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland and the forests of Tasmania,’ he added.

‘Major shift’ ‘In New South Wales we see the state Liberal-Nationals government following suit. Through this regulation they have opened the way for the state’s forests to be used to generate power. This is a major shift and a significant move. ‘The state government has changed environmental protection regulations to allow trees otherwise destined for pulp and paper production to be burnt in power stations. ‘The ecological costs of native forest logging are well known. Native forests are important for biodiversity and store large amounts of carbon. Animals also rely on the forests and hollows in trees. ‘These are the holes left in tree trunks when dead branches fall down. Birds, possums and gliders all need these safe havens to survive. Hollows only exist in well-established trees. Koalas, wallabies, possums and birds all lose their homes. ‘North coast communities want to see their unique environment and forests protected for generations to come,’ he said ‘They know that this regulation would once again be the thin end of the wedge. ‘I must express my disappointment at the lack of representation and leadership by north coast National Party parliamentarians on this matter.’ Copies of the voluntary landclearing codes can be found at www.environment.nsw.gov.au/ vegetation. The codes are open for comment until May 26.

Pride and passion mark a Mothers Day classic John Campbell

If ever an occasion merited a hoary old cliché, it was this fantastic game of footy, for ‘neither side deserved to lose’. Indeed to go one further, on a gloriously sunny Sunday arvo at Les Donnelly Field, ‘rugby league was the winner.’ Byron Bay’s 14–8 victory over Mullumbimby, who had been in front until late in proceedings, had it all – brute force and physicality, flashes of sweet finesse and, from every player on the field, total commitment to the cause. With the clock ticking down, the Red Devils were clinging to a 10–8 lead. A forthright set, free of error, had taken them deep into the Giants’ territory. The ball was moved quickly to winger Scott Stapleton, whose form this season has been outstanding. He didn’t have far to travel, but there was a desperate and determined Giant standing between him and

the tryline. Stapleton, who has speed and size, opted for the Maori sidestep and ran over the top of his opponent. It was, we all assumed, the coup de grace. But the unsuccessful conversion attempt

meant that Mullum could still snatch a draw. As the executioner climbed the gallows, they very nearly did that, with an ankle-tap all there was to stop a runaway Giants try. Mullum took the points

in a first half that was typical of a local derby – there were plenty of niggles, with mistakes allowing neither side to settle into a rhythm. The Giants made fewer of them and the longer it went the more

Byron looked flustered and frustrated by the home side’s in-your-face approach. If the Devils didn’t know they were in the enemy’s domain, the mob at the halfway shed let them hear about it in no uncertain terms. An early contretemps saw Mullum’s Dan Molenaar binned (it seemed an excessive response from the ref to something nobody saw), but Byron were unable to take advantage of the extra man. Instead they squandered chances with poor hands and questionable last-tackle options. The Giants’ Troy McArthur scored after eighteen minutes and he was in again when he got to a chip just before it crossed the dead ball line – ‘you’re all over ’em Mullum!’ was the cry from the shed and, the way things were going, nobody could argue. Even so, you sensed that Mullum’s half-time advantage

of 8–0 might not be enough. Penalties can break your heart, but neither side could claim that they received more of the raw prawn than the other. The whistle allowed Byron to get a sniff straight after the resumption and twinkle-toed centre Bill King kept his cool to take a crossfield kick to open the Devils’ account – the sigh of relief in the red bleachers was audible. Joseph Gordon, having a blinder, was held up before King got another, with Chris King’s conversion giving the visitors a slender and incredibly hard-fought-for lead. All that remained was Stapleton’s sealer. Nobody shirked it, but Mullum’s young Turks caught the eye – Todd Arthur and Jack Govett are a real handful – while for the winners, it was the old heads of Ryan O’Connell and Simon Kelly who led the way. Congrats and thanks to all involved for a great effort.

Bruns Breakers kick off 2014 Back down to Earth for Bay Peter Griffin

Gary Osbiston

The Brunswick Breakers trained for two months preseason and we’re eager for the competition to commence. The first game of the season was away at Byron with a final score of 0–0. The first Bruns Breakers home game of the season was held on a beautiful Mothers Day. This was going to be a tough match against visiting side Pottsville. Brunswick were missing one of their strikers and before the kick-off four more players were feeling unwell. Captain Julia led the team out and the home side started the match. The game was evenly matched for the first 15 minutes then the Pottsville

team upped the ante, relentless attack after attack, but the Brunswick team held firm. High rotation of players for the home were not helping at all; it was making the Brunswick side unstable. Goal keeper Zoe was very busy making sure nothing went past her into the back of the net. As the first half was coming to a close the home team made one mistake and the opposition striker took aim and blasted the ball high and wide of the out-stretched hand of the keeper, one nil to Pottsville. As the half-time whistle blew the coach was looking at his players as they walked off; some of them did not look well. Many changes of position were made: goal keeper and

one of the strikers exchange positions; mid-field reshuffled; the coach did not know how many of the team could go out in the second half. The second half started with more relentless attacks from the opposing side but the Bruns girls were holding firm; the back four were having a fantastic game. New player Ella capitalised on a great move and stormed into the Pottsville penalty area only to see her shot saved by the keeper. This Brunswick team is full of spirit but it was not their day and the final whistle sounded the full-time final score Brunswick 0 Pottsville 1. All the girls tried hard and many thanks to all parents, the girls love your support.

A week is a long time in sport. After enjoying a recordbreaking 78–0 win against Southern Cross University, Byron Bay rugby came back to Earth with a 53–10 loss to Lennox Head on Saturday. The loss put Byron back to fifth, one point behind Grafton after five rounds. The 12-try romp against the students was the biggest win by the Bay in First Grade and Jash Saek’s 33-point haul was an individual point-scoring record for the club. The stage was set for the Bay to repeat their heroics of last season but it was the Trojans who gained some consolation for their season-ending loss to Byron last season. The line speed and ferocity of defence was of Grand Final intensity in the opening

10 minutes. Byron settled into their structure and did look the better side early. The only way to make ground was close to the ruck and when Byron moved within sight of the try line it was Welsh juggernaut Aaron ‘Shakey’ Shakeshaft who barreled over for the first try. As was the case last season Byron’s playing squad lacks depth but not quality. Within minutes of the opening score, towering second-rower Ryan Betts was forced from the field and when Rob Lynch followed with damaged ribs the momentum was lost. Byron’s scrum disintegrated and the Trojan’s outstanding back row put too much pressure on Byron’s inside backs. We will never know what might have happened had Betts and Lynch remained on the field but with confidence ebbing the Bay were simply outclassed on the day.

Brunswick Valley Billygoats

Winger Ben Macnee scored a consolation try for Byron in the second half from a wellworked short-side play from Craig Wallace and Shakehaft. The pair were again among Byron’s best along with fullback Saek. It was a difficult afternoon for headline player Wallace, whose birthday celebration was somewhat marred by the result. The Bay will hope to return to winning ways at home this Saturday against Casino. In an intriguing Round Six the form teams Wollongbar Alstonville and Lismore meet while Grafton hosts fellow top four contenders Ballina. More will be known about the Bay’s title prospects next week. There is talk of high calibre mid-season recruits and Byron remains in striking distance of a finals campaign. Go the Bay! The Bruns Billygoats had mixed results on Friday – the U10s led the way with a 26–0 win and the Under-12s went down 56–0 – both games at Lismore and at Wollongbar, the U16s had a close affair with old rivals. The first half game levelled at 12 all, but despite strong pressure by the Billygoats after the break, Wollongbar scored the last try to win 17–12. This Friday 10s and 12s travel to Wollongbar, and 7.25, 16s home to WAR Black.

A football coach in your pocket: GINGA Ginga Football is the new digital training sensation for iPhone and iPad. With it you can learn to move as the best football professionals. With his years of experience being responsible for the training technique within the German national youth teams, the coach originating from the Netherlands, Marcel Lucassen, created a particularly effective set of exercises. Every part of the body posture is discussed separately for each exercise. This not only perfectly teaches the exercises but, at the same time, improves overall ball control. ‘It’s not just the foot and

the ball what is important for the proper execution of all movements on the field; the body is even so important’, says Lucassen. ‘The exercises that I wrote for this app em-

phasise that. The specific exercises increase the opportunities for significantly more ball control.’ Ginga Football is aimed at children aged 12 to 16 years,

but the app also appeals to ealier and later age groups. ‘We have seen that the unique approach of teaching through graphic 3D animation, which really focus on the details, is a hit among trainers’, says Niel Vredeveldt, producer and CEO at Vici Games. ‘They also give it as “homework” for their players.’ Ginga Football is the virtual football training app that helps players to be better than their opponent. The app is free and you can download it for android: https://play.google.com/ store/apps/details?id=com. ginga.football.

Vale Reg Gasnier – league ‘Immortal’ The NRL paid tribute on Monday to one of its Immortals, the late Reg Gasnier, who died overnight after a long illness. NRL CEO, Mr Dave Smith, said Gasnier was recognised as one of the greatest players the game has seen. ‘Not only did he play the game like no-one else’, he said. ‘Reg was widely regarded as one of the true gentlemen of Rugby League. ‘His record speaks for itself – six Premierships and 39 Tests and those who were lucky enough to see him play say he was one of those players who set the crowd alight every time he touched the ball.

‘He was one of the select group of original Immortals – that puts his place in the game in perspective.’ Mr Smith said Gasnier was also acknowledged as an accomplished Rugby League television commentator with a great knowledge of the game. Just one day shy of his 75th birthday, Gasnier had been battling health issues recently and had surgery in 2010 to remove tumours, including brain surgery. Gasnier captained Australia in eight Tests and was captain of the 1967–68 Kangaroos. He played third grade with St George in 1958 from junior club Renown United and played first grade and

Test football the following season; he played four games in reserve grade and then five in first grade before being chosen for NSW in 1959. Gasnier played President’s Cup (junior reps) in 1957-58. He scored three tries in his second Test against New Zealand, three tries in his first match on the 1959-60 Kangaroo tour, three in his second and three in his Test debut against Great Britain. He played in six of St George’s grand final winning sides (1960, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965). Former Sydney Sun sportswriter EE Christensen chose Gasnier as the NSW Player of the Year in 1959,

1961 and 1964 (with Johnny Raper). Injury ended Gasnier’s career prematurely in France in 1968. With Clive Churchill, Johnny Raper and Bob Fulton, he was named as one the original ‘Immortals’ in Rugby League Week in 1981. ARLC Chairman, Mr John Grant, said the passing of Gasnier would leave a big gap in the Rugby League world. ‘Reg is one of only eight Immortals and that means he will always have a special place in our game’, he said. ‘We’ve lost one of the greatest players the game has seen and he will be missed by the entire Rugby League community.’

from an early age. Ela and Josh have achieved success at state and national levels, winning numerous

medals over the past four years with success at the recently completed Australian Titles.

Swell ‘swell’ for surfers but not fishers The big swell of late has been wonderful for surfers; however, only those of us fortunate enough to own bigger boats have been able to get outside. Nonetheless the fishing has still been quite good. The mullet have started to run and that means that the mulloway are there with them! Live bait and big lures are the key to landing yourself one of these awesome fish. They are known as the fish of 1,000 casts for a reason: you will need to put the time in to reap the rewards. There are good-sized luderick being taken from the breakwalls in Brunswick heads on the outgoing tide, as well as bream and the occasional decent flathead. Some

nice mangrove jack are also available if you can get a live poddy mullet out at night. Spinners and diving minnow lures have been successful off the rocky headlands on tailor, mulloway and even mackerel and tuna. The water temperature is now starting to drop and we should start seeing the whales migrating north shortly. There are still some mackerel about on the inshore reefs, and some nice kingfish are also being taken a little wider. Remember, fish lightly to improve your catch, and focus on the tide changes.

bined stimulus of low interest rates together with government grants for newly constructed housing is clearly stoking demand across the vacant land sector at a time when land sales are trending lower. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Considering that the number of house and unit sales rose by almost eight per cent over the December quarter and were up by 18 per cent compared with a year ago, the slowdown in land sales over the second half of 2013 is counter to broader housing market trends,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Mr Lawless said.

Doing so will greatly improve the chances of sustaining the recovery in residential construction. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;New home building offers the possibility for some economic good news this year. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;It is important that land supply policies act in concert with broader economic objectives.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; RP Dataâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s research director Tim Lawless said that the com-

The latest HIA-RP Data Residential Land Report provided by the Housing Industry Association and RP Data shows that conditions in Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residential land market continued to tighten during the December 2013 quarter.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;With vacant land prices continuing to rise at a time when volumes have moved lower we can surmise that demand is exceeding supply which in turn drives prices higher. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;With housing affordability coming increasingly under the spotlight, an improvement in the flow of land supply would be a welcome scenario.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; During the December 2013 quarter, the weighted median residential land value for Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s six state capitals increased by 3.5 per cent to $326,184.

This value represents a 22.3 per cent increase on the final quarter of 2012. The median value for Regional Australia was $160,886. This represented a quarterly rise of 2.1 per cent and an annual increase of 3.6 per cent. Higher land prices in the capital cities were driven by developments in Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth. However, Sydney and Brisbane land prices were flat during the quarter, and land prices in Hobart saw a decline during the quarter.

Whether or not Lismore MP Thomas George has a conflict of interest in the Metgasco fracking fiasco at Bentley because his son Stuart is employed by the company – as claimed by Labor MP Walt Secord in parliament – is a matter of debate. What Backlash finds more interesting is that George junior is described as the ‘community relations manager’ for Metgasco when there doesn’t seem to be a lot of community-relating going on, given the north coast’s opposition to the whole fracking thing. One thing for sure is that the north coast Nationals have shown no intestinal fortitude whatsoever on the issue and have caved in to mining interests along with the Libs, at a time when ICAC is applying the blowtorch to dirty deals done dirt cheap by the major parties for the benefit of mining magnates. And at a time when the sun is offering cheap energy as an alternative to the water-table-threatening underground stuff. Q Q Q Q

It’s been a sad week of sexual misbehaviour associated with the north coast, with Echonetdaily reporting on former Byron Bay teacher Peter Wayne Scott being sentenced to 14 years for historical child-sex offences in Sydney in the 1980s, a police officer from the region charged with sex offences, a Gold Coast man allegedly filming a child under a toilet cubicle door, and a Coorabell man on child porn charges after police raided his home and seized computers and DVDs. We might like to think we live in a blissful rural bubble but reality intrudes all too readily. Q Q Q Q

The Lilac Ladies, the auxiliary

The age of entitlement is over, as this image from a Liberal Party coffee morning called to discuss the federal budget clearly demonstrates.

supporters of Mullumbimby Hospital, are champion knitters of beanies and booties for new parents’ babies. Their call for wool in our Pin This Up section met with great success: ‘We have had a wonderful response from the public with over ten huge bags of wool donated. Our knitter has gone into shock!’ Q Q Q Q

Stephen Mayne, the selfappointed moral conscience of shareholders, was opining that James Packer’s bit of biffo with TV honcho David Gyngell would slur his casinoowning operation. Is there a fit and proper person to run those abominations known as casinos which waste human talent and public amenity? Maybe the brawl was merely a ploy to divert attention from the doubling of size of the Barangaroo casino monstrosity right on the edge of Sydney harbour.
