A big week of reconciliation OS Tavern robbed by

machete-wielding thief Eve Jeffery

Held every year between May 27 and June 3, Reconciliation Week marks the anniversaries of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders being recognised in the census, and recognition of Native Title. Arakwal woman Delta Kay joined Bronwyn Sindel from the Sisters for Reconciliation stall at Byron Market on Sunday to celebrate the occasion. Photo Eve Jeffery.

The Ocean Shores Tavern on Rajah Road was hit by an armed robber on Sunday evening as staff were preparing to close up for the night. The police report says a man armed with a machete forced entry into the premises around 9.30pm and threatened two staff members with the weapon. The Tavern’s Kim Dowling spoke to The Echo on Monday morning and said that everyone involved was okay. ‘There was a male and female staff member working at the time’, said Kim. ‘There were no patrons and not even a car in the carpark.’ Once inside the premises, the perpetrator tied staff up, before fleeing the location with cash. Officers from Tweed/Byron Local Area Command launched an investigation into the incident and specialist police from the Dog Unit

assisted in an extensive search of the surrounding area; however, the man was not found. A crime scene was established and examined by detectives and specialist forensic officers. The man is described as having a dark complexion, about 185cm tall and of a solid build. He was last seen wearing a dark-coloured hooded jumper, dark track pants with white stripes down the sides and a black bandana across his face. Ms Dowling said, ‘Everyone’s fine. The staff handled it really well’. She added that the tavern’s security has meant that a lot of evidence was available to catch the perpetrator. ‘We have handed it all over to the police’, she said. ‘It’s all on CCTV – hopefully the police can track him down.’ Police are urging anyone with information about this incident to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or the online reporting page: www1.police.nsw.gov.au.

Sydney developer buys into West Byron Hans Lovejoy

Prominent Sydney CBD property developer Terry Agnew has bought a sizeable portion of the West Byron project, prompting claims by the Byron Residents Group that the ‘locallyowned’ aspect of the development now has little relevance. Approval for the West Byron project, a 108hectare housing/commercial estate situated opposite the industrial estate on Ewingsdale Road, is expected shortly from the state government. Agnew, who heads Tower Holdings with a swag of properties, also owns a Great Keppel Island resort, where a $2.5 billion redevelop-

ment is planned. Tower Holdings bought the resort for $16.5 million in 2008 before shutting it down and unveiling ambitious plans for a luxury resort. And while his plans were thwarted by environmental concerns such as illegal tree clearing, last year he finally gained approval for a reduced 250-berth marina precinct, 750 resort villas and 300 apartments, a hotel and an 18hole golf course. The Echo sought comment from Mr Agnew’s office, but as yet there has been none. But through communications consultancy company Charliesierra, the West Byron landowners confirmed the purchase with The Echo but played down any negative influence the

new co-owner may have. ‘Tower Holdings has joined the landowner group after purchasing Crighton’s holdings earlier this year,’ they said.

‘Committed to a vibrant community’ but no comment on price paid ‘The entire landowner group, including Tower Holdings, is committed to making West Byron a vibrant community that integrates with the social fabric of the Byron area.’ And while the West Byron group won’t comment on the price paid or the size of land Mr Agnew’s company now owns, title search-

es by a solicitor on behalf of environmental activist Dailan Pugh put the figure at $7 million and around half the entire property. Mr Pugh told The Echo that Crighton Properties’ liquidators sold the half-share of West Byron to North Sydney Property Trust (NSPT Pty Ltd) after Crighton went bust in April last year. He told The Echo that Agnew’s subsidiary NSPT, ‘paid $7,000,000 for the [West Byron] land, as per the land titles office registered transfer. The directors of NSPT are a Terrance John Agnew of Bellevue Hill NSW and Timothy Stringer of Drummoyne NSW.’ Pugh believes that Agnew is now the continued on page 3

Byron holiday-let precincts revealed Chris Dobney

A holiday-letting strategy paper presented by Byron Shire Council at last week’s closed meeting with stakeholders has earmarked precincts covering almost all of Byron Bay and Suffolk Park, together with the main beachside areas of Brunswick Heads, New Brighton and South Golden Beach. The proposed West Byron development is specifically excluded from the suggested precincts.

Mullum’s in the picture The Big Picture Show’s MC Tony Barry – who is also a renowned actor and activist – listens to Mandy Nolan’s pitch to reclaim the train station. Story & photo Eve Jeffery

The community got together on Saturday for the Big Picture Show, an inspiring event aimed at making plans for the future of Mullumbimby. It was very well attended, with over three hundred listening, learning and participating in about 100 small workshops during the day. It’s early days, but some positive outcomes from the day are already in action. Malcolm Price from Creative Mullumbimby, who organised the event said, ‘The

Youth Train Station project that Mandy Nolan announced may have been flying even before the end of Saturday afternoon.’ ‘A group of community

members and artists headed to the Train Station as soon as we were finished.’ There event was so successful that there are plans for a future show.

But the paper suggests allowing an exemption for homes of up to five bedrooms within any residential zone, which could be rented out for a maximum of 60 days per year in December and January without requiring a permit.

Complying development An alternative would be a ‘complying development’ of up to three bedrooms, if permissible in the zone, with

no restriction on the holidaylet period. Under this option, property owners would have to register but they would automatically receive approval if their property complied. The paper goes on to suggest two options that could be considered for identifying where holiday lets would be allowed, one based around defined precincts and the other around existing LEP zones.

Sentimental bonsai with ashes stolen A business owner in Byron’s industrial estate is appealing for the return of bonsai plants taken from outside his business at 11/12 Tasman Way, Byron Bay. Justin Crawford, owner/manager of Fallen Broken Street, told The Echo it happened over the weekend. ‘At the entrance to the studio I

have an assortment of plants. Some of these are bonsai plants which had my late father’s ashes in. As you would realise, these bonsais are really, really precious to me and my family.’ He says his neighbour also had his plants stolen. For any information please call Justin on 0449 806 000.

Northern rivers scoops awards

Frog Pod aims to help threatened species

The northern rivers region was celebrated as a regional culture and arts leader at the Local Government Art and Cultural Awards, held at NSW Parliament House last week. Six innovative local arts and culture initiatives, including a regional museum project, a

Darren Coyne

cultural festival, a youth theatre project and a creative popup shop, were all recognised. Byron Bay Film Festival (BBFF) was also given commendations as a NSW Emerging Creative Talent from the NSW government at the Vivid Awards.

A new attraction at the Macadamia Castle at Knockrow will become part of a network of conservation facilities aimed at saving endangered frogs. The Castle’s ‘frog pod’ is one of six in Australia and

just 22 worldwide and was unveiled last week. Castle owner Tony Gilding said the pod would initially display five local species including the critically endangered Spotted Tree Frog, and the locally threatened Tusk Frog. Dr David Newell, a lecturer

at the school of environment, science and engineering, said one quarter of all species were of conservation concern. Particularly at risk were the stream-dwelling species, which make up 20 per cent of all species, yet accounted for nearly half of those in danger.

single biggest owner in the property. Whether that potentially provides a controlling interest in the proposed development is unclear. Byron Residents Group’s Cate Coorey said, ‘For a long time we have been told that it is local people involved in this development and they have the community’s best interests at heart. Now that a major developer has bought this parcel, it changes the landscape quite a bit. ‘We have always been concerned that the West Byron landowners were simply trying to get the development approved before selling out to a developer who could afford to undertake a project of this size. ‘With Agnew’s purchase of half the site, how long will it be before he expands his holdings?’ Meanwhile, pressure is on

NSW planning minister, Pru Goward, and minister for the environment, Rob Stokes, to defer West Byron rezoning after a motion by NSW MLC (upper house) Jan Barham.

Deferral motion Her motion was tabled last week, and says the deferral would, ‘allow for more detailed studies to assess the impact of the development and ensure that the relevant considerations are revealed prior to the rezoning.’ ‘[It notes] that the current application does not contain sufficient independent scientific studies and analysis to allow a determination and that the Byron Shire Council is in the process of developing essential strategic studies that consider the future impacts of development on that site.’ The motion asks the House to note that the ap-

plication for the West Byron Urban Release proposal ‘contains omissions, inaccuracies and inconsistencies.’ But the West Byron developers say they ‘stand behind our application entirely’. On behalf of the West Byron developers, the Charliesierra spokesperson told The Echo, ‘The proposal that currently sits with the department for assessment has been refined based on feedback received in two public exhibition periods and been reviewed by all relevant government agencies.’

Snap rally to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bust the Budgetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for Byron Bay North coast residents are urged to take part in a snap rally to protest the impact of the federal budget on the community on Sunday June 8 at Byron Youth Centre (1 Gilmore Crescent) from 1pm. The rally has the support of Byron Shire mayor Simon Richardson, who will speak along with director of Byron Youth Service, Peter McGlennon, and Greens Party spokesperson Dawn Walker. Budget cuts could begin to affect people as soon as July, yet they have to pass the senate (upper house). â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;This budget will have a major impact on our com-

munity,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; says Cr Richardson. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Council will be $250,000 worse off each year due to cuts in federal funding and pensioners will receive a lower rates subsidy, placing greater pressure on Council to make up the shortfall.

Council hit by budget: mayor â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s particularly upsetting that our tireless youth workers and others providing essential services to the vulnerable in our community have had their funding gutted. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;If the federal government continues to abrogate their

responsibilities, significant financial pressure will be placed on an already strained local government sector.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Greens spokesperson Dawn Walker says, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;This is a brutal and heartless budget written for big business. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The government has no plan or vision; instead theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hiding behind a fake budget emergency to justify massive cuts, while ignoring serious challenges like global warming and inequality.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Peter McGlennon, director at Byron Youth Service, says, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We already work on meagre funding because the people who work in youth

organisations like ours care. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The recently announced cuts to funding just make it much harder for BYS to support those in our community who are most at risk.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

BYS program cut Funding for the Youth Connections program run out of BYS to assist young people transition into vocational training and employment will end in December this year. Budget cuts are expected to create particular hardship for families, the sick, young, seniors and vulnerable people across the north coast.

Corporate beach party riles residents Mayor Simon Richardson has admitted he had no idea that his staff approved a major corporate event on Clarkes Beach â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a decision that is not only inconsistent with Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alcohol-free beach policy but may also set future precedents. The Echo received numerous complaints upon the construction of the temporary structure from Thursday. Cr Richardson told The Echo he first learned of it late Thursday afternoon through social media. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I immediately asked for information,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;which I received at about 4pm. I will move a mayoral minute that this never happen in this way again. I have been assured it is a one off.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Last Drinks The Last Drinks in Byron group, who are lobbying for earlier closing times for the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s venues, have asked

Council to please explain. The letter reads, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Our members have alerted us to the existence of a number of floored temporary structures which are currently being erected on Clarkes Beach. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We understand that it is being erected for an NZI Insurance Company function today May 30 and that alcohol will be served on the beach. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Can you please let us know the criteria for allowing private functions to be held on the beach, how often this might occur and the criteria used for lifting the alcohol prohibition? â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Will the beach continue to

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

be an alcohol-free zone or is the council changing its policy to allow alcohol to be served on Byron beaches?

Occasional activity: Council â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;An occasional activity to support Byron as a conference destination,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; is how Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of corporate and community services, Mark Arnold, described the decision to lift the alcohol ban and allow the private function. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;[But] Council strongly supports the beach remaining primarily for public use and will ensure that it is not

spoilt through function usage. Fees received from the function will go back into the Crown Reserve and the improved maintenance of the iconic beachfront for everyone in the community.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The applicant, Ben Kirkwood from the Beach Cafe, defended the event, telling The Echo it was well managed, adhered to stringent council guidelines and created no impact on the beach. Mr Kirkwood also spruiked the economic value of highyield visitors to the region. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;While we appreciate and understand why there is some fear in the community that these events might now happen on a regular basis, the truth is that people visiting Byron Bay for business make up less than four per cent of all visitors to our Shire; this is far less than the NSW average of 17 per cent (source: Destination NSW).â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Renewables legislation pushed in parliament Legislation aimed at increasing renewable-energy generation and energy-efficiency measures to allow for the closure of all the state’s coal-fired power stations by 2030 has been introduced by Greens NSW MP John Kaye. He’s urging all parties to get behind his Transforming NSW Energy Sector (Towards 100 per cent Renewables) Bill. ‘The writing is on the wall for the fossil-fuel industry,’ says Dr Kaye. ‘Coal and coal seam gas are dead-end technologies that will be out-priced by cheaper renewables. Waiting around for international pressure and market forces to drive

out coal and gas will cost jobs and push up power bills.’ It came in the same week that local NSW MP Don Page (Nationals) made a speech in parliament regarding conventional gas, coal seam gas and energy policies, ‘as it affects my electorate and the broader northern rivers region.’ ‘I believe that the northern rivers region can, and should be, a leader in renewable energy,’ he said. ‘We have a clean, green image and a strong environmental consciousness. We have several natural options; the most obvious on the north coast is abundant sunshine, making solar-powered

generation a natural fit for us. Indeed, residents of the north coast are the biggest users of solar power in NSW.’ Mr Page told The Echo regarding Dr Kaye’s proposed bill, ‘The coalition hasn’t discussed the Greens legislation internally at this stage. The premier, the new minister for the environment Rob Stokes, and I are all keen on using more renewable energy, so we’ll see what happens. ‘However, I think there are practical difficulties if we assume NSW will be 100 per cent renewable in the next 15 years.’ Mr Page added, ‘I’ve al-

ways been a strong supporter of renewable energy.’ ‘I hosted a Renewable Energy Forum in Bangalow in 2010, and [recently] I did an interview on ABC on the need to support the national objective of 20 per cent of our energy being renewables by 2020 and not reduce the target as some have suggested. Renewables reduce greenhouse gases, help energy security and, according to the NSW submission to the RET review, benefit consumers. ‘Improved technology is reducing renewable-energy costs.’

Byron dumps green-waste bin plan The introduction of greenwaste bins for Byron Shire residents has been put on hold owing to the high cost of the tenders it received for it, and lack of a government grant to support it. But mayor Simon Richardson says a full program – which would see waste and food organics collected – will go ahead as part of a new integrated waste collection contract in August 2015. Cr Richardson acknowledged it was disappointing news for many in the com-

munity who were looking forward to the new service. ‘It’s a setback but it was also a financially responsible decision and not unlike many decisions made in household budgets. ‘If the price comes in too high to upgrade an item, households are faced with the decision to wait, save more and source a better price. It’s no different for Council,’ he said. Coincidentally, Byron Shire Council says it became ineligible for the state gov-

Local News New surf movie screening features legend Al Byrne Filmmaker Clive Neeson says the the screening of his award-winning film Last Paradise will have strong significance to the community of Byron Bay. ‘The event will be hosted by legendary local filmmaker Dick Hoole, and stars local surf legend Allan Byrne, who was tragically killed in Bali last year. ‘The film is an open letter to a generation inheriting a world vastly different to the one I and my friends grew up in,’ says Neeson. ‘I believe the “home” of this film is in Byron just as it was in Santa Barbara.’. Last Paradise screens Sunday June 8 and June 14 from 6.30pm at the Community Centre Theatre. A Q&A with the physicist-filmmaker will follow. For bookings, visit www.lastparadisefilm.com.

Local Land Services seeks community representatives The NSW government-run Local Land Services (LLS) is inviting the public to apply for the community advisory group, which it says is the next step in the development of North Coast Local Land Services (NCLLS). Chair of NCLLS board Kent Lee says, ‘NCLLS is currently delivering a comprehensive range of programs and projects throughout

the NCLLS region to support farmers, landholders and land managers with sustainable agriculture, pest and disease matters, emergency management and natural-resource-related activities.’ Expressions of interest can be lodged until Monday June 16 and can be emailed with the subject line of ‘CAG-EoI’ to admin.northcoast@lls.nsw.gov.au.

Medical cannabis bill Byron chamber news Byron bypass and the rail corridor will be just one topic gets bipartisan support Ththate Byron Bay Chamber of Commerce (Byron United) presiThe Greens NSW launched a Bill to protect certified medical users of cannabis from criminal prosecution last week, and surprisingly has received support from premier Mike Baird (Liberal). The Drug Legislation Amendment (Use of Cannabis for Medical Purposes) Bill 2014 implements the unanimous findings of last year’s cross-party upper house inquiry into medical uses of cannabis. It would allow people with a terminal illness to apply, on the recommendation of their treating doctor to the NSW Department of Health, for a card that would exempt them and their carers from prosecution for possession of 15 grams or less of crude cannabis. Premier Baird has given

the green light for Tamworth Nationals MP Kevin Anderson to work on a private members bill, and Greens NSW MP John Kaye says he will ‘gladly delay moving his bill to allow Mr Anderson time to develop and proceed with his legislation.’ Local NSW MP Don Page (Nationals) added his support, telling The Echo, ‘The only issue really is supply. It needs to be properly regulated and controlled. I am supporting the Nationals member for Tamworth, Kevin Anderson, who proposes to introduce a private members bill from government into parliament soon on this issue.’ To view the bill, see http:// johnkaye.org.au/campaigns/ support-the-greens-bill-tolegalise-medicinal-cannabis.

dent Michael O’Grady says he will table at an upcoming business roundtable with council. He told members via email that he will be asking for clarification of the bypass situation, and will ask if the rail corridor has fully been explored by council staff. Mr O’Grady also reminded members of their membership renewals and announced a new free initiative to encourage member businesses to become part of a new series of PR campaigns. ‘We know there are a lot of good news stories our local businesses have to tell, so to get involved get in touch.’ For more visit www.byronunited.org.au.

Councils will struggle under budget cuts: Labor Labor is claiming that a senior Australian government official has confirmed Australia’s local councils will have to lift rates or reduce services because of Abbott government funding cuts. Both Anthony Albanese and Julie Collins said, ‘While

claiming to have lifted road funding in the Budget, Mr Abbott’s budget decision to freeze indexation of financial assistance grants from July 1 will rob councils of more than $900 million they now use for local road maintenance and the provision of services.’

Tony works through the five stages of grief

Volume 28 #51

June 3, 2014

GMO one, organic nil An organic farmer in WA has lost a court case against his neighbour whose genetically modified (GM) ‘Roundup Ready’ canola strayed on to his land and caused him to lose accreditation with the National Association of Sustainable Agriculture Australia (NASAA), and hence his livelihood. The judge decided that the GM farmer was not responsible for the actions of a third party, and in any case characterised NASAA’s deregistration of the organic farmer as ‘erroneous’. Law and science are not a good mix. The law that stands by while land is contaminated by GM organisms now also, in the USA, protects the big biotech companies from actions in the federal court. Last month President Obama signed the Monsanto Protection Act, a section of a spending bill that gives companies immunity from action should harmful effects from GM foods eventuate. This part of the bill was drafted by a Republican senator who received election funding from Monsanto. Most people think of harmful effects from GM foods in terms of dangers to human health. In fact, there is very little evidence of such harm. On the other hand there’s also little evidence of GM foods providing relief for the world’s starving, as their apologists claim. The crops designed for enhanced yield require the agribusiness approach of large quantities of fertiliser, pesticide and water, unlike the hardy varieties selected for resilience by small farmers over the centuries. The big chemical companies are moving to own the reproductive cycle, introducing sterile crops so that farmers have to buy seeds on an annual basis. The future envisioned by Monsanto and its allies is one where food production is controlled by corporations alone, for profit not philanthropy. The biosphere is too complex for us to predict the distant effects of introducing modified species, and too valuable to permit the practice without the strongest regulation. Traditional small-scale agriculture took a hit last week, but at least Monsanto has not yet sued the organic farmer for growing their product on his land. Should we be thankful for that or demand federal laws to protect non-GMO farming? David Lovejoy

he one certain thing about Tony Abbott’s first budget is that it has produced a lot of unhappiness, and not only among his political opponents; many of his supporters have been weeping quietly in their electorate offices, and among the public at large there has been general wailing and lamentation. So it is entirely appropriate that Abbott is taking a methodical approach to dealing with the outbreak of grief; he is apparently working his way through its five stages, as identified by the Swiss-American psychiatrist, Elisabeth Kubler-Ross. Fortunately for our prime minister, the first of these is a response at which he is both practised and accomplished: denial. Having summarily dismissed the science of climate change as ‘crap’, he had no trouble in declaring that his own unequivocal and welldocumented election promises were equally irrelevant: what mattered was his commitment to tackle Labor’s debt and deficit crisis and bring the budget back to surplus. When it was pointed out that there was no immediate crisis, and even if there had been, Joe Hockey’s manifesto did nothing urgent about it, Abbott continued to reject reality. But of course this did not work – as Kubler-Ross has shown, it never does. So on to stage two: anger. Face down the outrage of the electorate with outrage (confected or real, it doesn’t matter) of his own. Abbott waxed indignant: the media, the public, the AMA, the AIG, and even members of his own party were obviously too thick to appreciate the underlying wonder and beauty of his concoction. They wanted to wake up and confront reality:

sure, there may be some shortterm pain, but when the smoke haze lifted and the rubble was cleared away, a glorious future awaited: a medical research fund, more roads, and above all tax cuts. And if people didn’t embrace that new and glittering promise, then that was their own damn fault. They could take the nasty medicine, or after the next election he would dish up a real shit sandwich. No more Mr Nice Guy. But once again there was less than universal rejoicing (except, inevitably, in the columns of the Murdoch press). And worse, emboldened by the opinion polls which showed the budget to be about as popular as cholera

turing of Fair Work Australia so that it is more work and less fair, Abbott figured that they would come to the party on the rest of his merciless agenda. But it has proved not to be so: his furious demands left them unimpressed and unmoved. So, somewhat reluctantly, Abbott has moved on to stage three: bargaining. Last week he met – or at least planned to meet – three of the new boys who will take their seats next month: Bob Day from Family First, John Madigan of the DLP and David Leyonhjelm of the Liberal Democrats. The best that can be said of the duologues was that there were no reports of physical violence, but there

When it was pointed out that there was no immediate crisis, Abbott continued to reject reality. by Mungo MacCallum and Abbott rather less so, the political opposition hardened its stance. The recalcitrance of Labor and the Greens was both expected and, to an extent, even welcomed: if a scapegoat was needed, they were the obvious choices for the role. But the crossbenchers were another proposition entirely. Abbott had hoped that the incoming ragbag of senators would be, on the whole, sympathetic; after all, apart from the ever enigmatic Nick Xenophon, they all claimed to represent parties stationed on the right of politics, some very close to the lunatic fringes – soulmates, in fact. And since they seemed ready, and in most cases eager, to embrace the abolition of the carbon and mining taxes, the recycling of the inquisition into the building industry and the restruc-

was not a lot of mutual hugging either. Day and Madigan are both on record as being concerned about the impact of budget measures on families; Leyonhjelm wants to abolish welfare altogether and replace it with tax cuts. But the real problem is that even if Abbott can lure all three on side, and rope in Xenophon as well, he still needs at least two more votes. And the only place to procure these is from the well guarded compound of Clive Palmer. Abbott made his first, and obvious, move: try and wedge off what looked like the weakest link, Ricky Muir of the Australian Motoring Enthusiasts Party. Shortly after being elected as senator with a primary vote of just 0.51 per cent, Muir formed an alliance with the Palmer United Party, although it has

never been entirely clear just how tight this alliance is. Abbott obviously thought it was flexible and invited Muir to a meeting. Muir, a Gippsland sawmiller, declined: he was busy trying to feed his family, he said, and would come to Canberra when he was paid to do so and not before. Madigan suggested Abbott should go to Gippsland to talk to him, but the mountain remained unmoved. The other three PUP senators have also refused to meet: Palmer says they won’t talk until Abbott grants them more staff. And even then the outcome might be, well, problematic. The two who have submitted themselves to an interview with the ABC 7.30’s Sarah Ferguson, Jackie Lambie from Tasmania and Dio Wang from Western Australia, seem at best unpredictable; the third, Queensland’s Glenn Lazarus, The Brick with Eyes, has opted to let his bulk answer the questions, as it did on the rugby league grounds. Any progress appears unlikely unless and until Abbott overcomes his obvious dislike of the flamboyant billionaire supremo and opens up serious negotiations. If and when he does so, it may or may not be a circuit breaker; it will certainly be a show stopper. In the meantime, Abbott has little option but to move on to stage four: depression. If the business and consumer confidence surveys offer any guidance, this appears a possible outcome for the economy. And if that doesn’t bring the voters to their senses, there is always the final stage: acceptance. But just who will be accepting what, and who will be doing the grieving, we probably won’t know until the next election in 2016.

Letters

Wanchap, West Byron, politics… Q Twenty

years ago, the late Nicholas Shand, founding editor of The Echo, warned of the undesirability of party politics becoming a feature at Byron Shire Council. Nick believed fiercely that the interests of the community at local government level were best served by independents directly accountable to the electorate and not the interests of parties. In his sights were the Greens who were emerging at the time as the party most likely to win a bloc on Council. The current disappointment expressed by Green supporters is understandable, but not unforeseen. Blaming Cr Wanchap is also understandable, but I suggest she is the symptom of a broader problem. The reference in Backlash last week to previous ‘torrid’ experiences involving ex-mayor Tom Wilson and ex-councillor Bob Tardif is also symptomatic. There is a difference with these two in that they were independents who owed no allegiance to the Greens party. The suggestion that either ‘rode into office on Greens’ preferences’ is incorrect. Tom won the mayoralty vote in 1999 ahead of

Illegal holiday letting There is no doubt that there is a housing crisis in Byron Shire, particularly Byron Bay. The recent Anglicare snapshot of housing affordability found that there were no affordable rentals in Byron Bay. So what should be done? For a start it is important to recognise that so many of the dwellings that have been approved by the council over many years are not available for permanent living by those who deserve to be able to live in the shire. The large numbers of homes being used for

Jan Barham. His preferences passed to Bob Tardif who was elected as a councillor. Preferences then flowed directly on to the Greens in the ballot for councillor. It is true that an exchange of preferences took place between the two groups, but it was the Greens who benefited. This is more a statement about the judgment shown by the Greens party than the paths taken by Tom Wilson or Bob Tardif. If you were a Greens supporter, you would have been entitled to feel hard done by once the ‘ruction’ between Greens councillors and Tom and Bob became apparent. However, it is equally true that supporters of these two might have felt betrayed by the conflict, especially Tom after he became mayor. The fact is Rose’s candidature was not scrutinised in any meaningful sense because she was on the Greens ticket. I doubt very much this would have been the case if Nicholas Shand were still on the job. Cr Basil Cameron Goonengerry Q Cr Cameron is correct on

Nicholas Shand’s opinion and on the 1999 mayoral

tourism purposes is a wrongful use of these premises. At last count it was above 600 homes used in this fashion, which could equate to 1,500 or 2,000 people who are deprived from accessing Byron Shire homes. The shock that the holiday-let precincts proposed by Council would deliver more housing over to tourism might fulfill the often-quoted media message that ‘Byron resort town’ is no longer a community. Some might think that there is a lack of focus on residents’ rights

outcome, although Jan Barham ran for councillor, not for mayor. Had Barham not directed her supporters to vote Wilson for mayor, he may not have triumphed over Ross Tucker. Having worked shoulder to shoulder with Nicholas for eight years, I find that anyone’s purported ability to judge what Nicholas would do or say in current circumstances borders on the supernatural – or the ridiculous. – Michael McDonald, letters editor Q As Cr Rose Wanchap was elected on a Greens ticket, should she not also resign from Council? Most people who voted for Rose did so because of the way she presented herself, ie as a Greens member who could be expected to adhere to at least major green policies and values and vote accordingly. This hasn’t happened and if Rose is serious about retaining some integrity in the eyes of voters – and even in her own – clearly she should resign from Council as a Green and, if she wishes, stand again as an independent. Jenny Coman Bangalow

and that tourism will ‘own’ Byron Shire’s best areas and residents need not apply. I am shocked and saddened. Jan Barham MLC Broken Head Q Let’s not pretend illegal holiday letting is anything else, and the reported fact (Echo, May 27) that our council is secretly meeting with the illegal operators makes it clear as crystal. Now, let us be honest. 1. Illegal letting damages lives. 2. Neighbours lose neighbours and ‘gain’ tourists, often drunk. 3. This corrupt business costs everyone. Lack of housing, higher rents, higher rates, and less sleep. 4. It costs the business community as well. Legitimate businesses, who paid honest money for land and enterprises, are undercut by

Q The bullying and vilification of Cr Rose Wanchap by some members of the Byron Greens has been upsetting to watch. She has been attacked in The Echo, by telephone, by email, in Council and on the street. She has been the subject of abuse and her reputation has been damaged in the broader community. Rose has been a member of the Greens for many years and is a passionate advocate for social justice, environmental sustainability and our community. She is a local small business owner, not a property developer. She is also a mother, a grandmother and a human being. It may well be that Rose and the Byron Greens have irreconcilable differences. However, the Australian Greens charter recognises the interdependence of people and the environment and promotes equity, meaningful work and environmentally sustainable technologies. These are all values that Rose has sought to represent with integrity. The Greens constitution requires policy frameworks to be ‘sufficiently general to permit people’s continued on next page

opinions to differ over the details’. It further allows for members of Parliament to vote against Greens policy if they believe this to be contrary to their duty to their constituents or their own views. Alarmingly, the very next clause exempts the NSW Greens from these freedoms! Respect, tolerance and non-violence are core values of the Australian Greens. In my opinion, these values have not been represented by some Byron Greens in their behaviour towards Rose Wanchap. If I were Rose, rather than resigning, I would be reporting the treatment I had been subjected to and seeking formal recourse. Sarah Robin Bangalow

Q Surely

Cr Wanchap can’t be serious in suggesting that because the Byron CBD, Sunrise and the industrial estate face flooding problems from climate change and rising sea levels, it’s okay to put another 1,000 new properties in the same position (Letters, May 27)? These sound more like the words of a hopeful real estate agent than those of a responsible councillor. The only answer to flooding issues at West Byron is not to develop the area. Most of the proposed development is barely above flood level, and increased rainfall intensities from climate change and in the long term rising sea levels will see the area becoming increasingly flood-prone (that’s one

What is in a name? Rosie Hamilton’s letter, (Echo, May 27) raises the issue of confusion over what is meant by the name Lyme disease. She also

asks if there is any expert consensus on this issue. Lyme disease is a controversial name and a very misunderstood disease but the global debate over a name does not help patients receive the treatment they need. Technically the name Lyme disease refers to infection with Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto bacteria, common in the east coast of USA. In Europe and in Russia it is called Lyme Borreliosis and caused by the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato group which the American Borrelia is a member of. The rest of the world (including our neighbours, Indonesia,

Thailand, Japan and India) has the relapsing fever Borrelia. All three should be called Borreliosis, which is a complex infection with delayed onset, vague symptomology. Awareness among clinicians is very low in Australia, Africa, and Asia. Diagnosis is difficult as most people do not recall a tick bite and a tick bite not only delivers Borrelia but multiple co-infections that may be parasitic, and the malaria-like Babesia or viral-like tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBE). Co-infections complicate the diagnosis and treatment. continued opposite

am quite disturbed by the tone and manner of personal attacks and unfair, nasty letters demanding the resignation of Rose Wanchap as a result of her no longer representing the Greens on Byron Council. Politics often sees individuals, who cannot agree to caucus and then vote with their party, cross the floor. There is no crime or dishonesty in behaving this way, in sticking to your true beliefs. Resignation from your party is also not a crime if you feel you cannot agree with supporting or rejecting issues. State and federal ministers regularly do this and to expect a local councillor to not do so is quite ignorant.

While I am not convinced the West Byron development is in the best interest of Byron Shire residents and the future of the town, I greatly respect Rose’s knowledge, insight and integrity and believe she would have given serious consideration to all the arguments for and against before forming her view. Rose is one of the finest examples of an ethical estate agent to be found in the northern rivers and attacking her in the manner some of the writers have done reflects very poorly on the individuals writing them rather than on Rose’s choices. We have voted for her to be a councillor and I believe she and all other councillors deserve more respect and credit for the often loveless work they do for the community. Mary O’Connor Bangalow

bullied because everyone is angry with her then I think she needs to consider how betrayed the people who voted for her feel. They thought they were getting a person who supported Greens ideals and would protect the town from vested interests yet she has voted against those ideals, often. On this latest urgency motion she voted with the prodevelopment councillors to support a development that is dodgy in the extreme. Her naïvete in saying we could have an eco-friendly development on the site is frightening. If the developers wanted that they would have sought zoning for that – not for 1,100 medium- and low-density dwellings and several commercial/industrial lots. It’s a lovely, rather quixotic idea, Rose, but I’d be sur-

Backswamps and development blues …trouble’s takin’ place in the lowlands at night.. Backwater blues done call me to pack my things and go – Bessie Smith

From the 1950s, drained backswamps became the yards for new housing in New Orleans, only to flood during storms right through to the 21st century. Canal estates in the Gold Coast seemed a flash way to develop similar wetlands, though this woke up a swamp creature we now call acid sulfate soils. But centuries ago, in the Netherlands, the coastal people called these ‘cat clay soils’: nasty when disturbed. In the late 1800s, one of their chemists, van Bemmelen, identified the dormant iron particles and demonstrated they created sulfuric acid. This sulfuric acid oozes in soggy ground and flows out in waterways to the sea. It corrodes progress such as roads, concrete and steel pipes, buildings, bridges and culverts. In 2012, the CSIRO says this costs Tweed Council $4 million in replacement works. They add that it kills oysters and fish, costing NSW more than $2 million. In Queensland, helping damaged farm and residential areas costs

$180 million a year. It can be up to 25 per cent of the cost for any coastal development. Back in 1841, Clement Hodgkinson described the coast of the northern rivers as ‘extensive swamps of many thousand acres in extent, whose verdant sea, of high waving reeds and sedge, stretches away to the base of the distant forest ranges. There are several lagoons in these swamps, and the stagnant water is very generally diffused over their surface.’ R King, who was born in Ballina in 1869 and at eleven years of age ‘came across to Tyagarah’, says near this backswamp were ‘big camps’ of Aboriginal people. They ‘always camped where pipi and oyster could be obtained’ as well as ‘fish, possum, native bear’ and the ‘eggs of bush turkeys’. ‘Wild horses and cattle were plentiful then.’ They roamed the wetlands up ‘to

Cudgen’. ‘Even in those days the opening of the Belongil was always troublesome.’ In 2011, Mitchell Tulau completed an environmental history of the backswamps of NSW. He traced their social and legal history. In the late 1880s, local government encouraged ‘drainage unions’ to make farms of floodplains and backswamps. In the early 1900s, the state government set Public Works Departments (PWD) to manage drainage trusts. Most of the trusts failed financially because ‘the land could not repay’ the investments. During a long dry period, the floodplains were ‘alienated, subdivided and settled’. Then the weather changed and floods at Byron (1945), Kempsey (1949) and Maitland (1955) led to more statewide ‘flood mitigation’. This meant more drainage works. Belongil would eventually

have eight kilometres of major drains and forty secondary ones. By 1964, these works dried up most every wetland, supposedly to help farming and housing. Not everyone agreed but dissenters were ignored. There were other ‘causes’ for floods, pollution and diminished fish stocks. But in 1987, massive fish kills in the Tweed demanded fresh investigation. This led to the work of another Dutch scientist, Leen Pons. He had renamed the cat clays as acid sulfate soils. They go hand in hand with backswamps all around the world. Our coasts are ‘young’, underwater as recently as a thousand years ago. The land and sea are old partners and backswamps are the gift of that relationship. Koalas and possums snoozing over large nurseries of fat fish. In NSW, some backswamps are now rezoned as national parks and reserves. When people restore such key land/sea links, birds and fish populations grow again, enhancing the adjacent coast. Of all the catchments in northern rivers, there may be one of a significant size and location with the community interest necessary for such a transformation. It’s on the west of the town of Byron Bay.

Increasing number of coinfections are likely to cause more serious symptoms and may also cause immunosuppression. Current Australian tests are based upon the American Borrelia and cannot detect relapsing fever Borrelia. This is inappropriate and hence why some Australians send their blood overseas for testing. The Royal College of Pathologists advice about overseas labs ignores the fact that NATA accreditation in Australia refers to ISO 1589 accreditation therefore any overseas lab that is ISO1589 accredited is equal to NATA accreditation. A study 20 years ago could

not identify the spirochete in Australian ticks. However it is agreed that there is something in Australian ticks that is causing Lyme-like disease. The causative agent has not yet been characterised or isolated. Because of lack of training, awareness and clinician unfamiliarity with Borreliosis, Australians are not diagnosed and treated appropriately whether they have been bitten by ticks in Australia or overseas. With greater awareness, more research, improved diagnosis and testing those affected can be treated. While some may be confused over what is in a name, others like Ms Taylor

(Articles, May 20), working alongside the Karl McManus Foundation, do an excellent job raising awareness of such an insidious disease to ensure more people receive the treatment they need. The Karl McManus Foun-

dation is hosting the 2nd Tick Borne Diseases Conference in Sydney, June 14–15 Ms Hamilton is welcome to attend. Dr Mualla McManus Director, Karl McManus Foundation

Big Idea 2014: The Year for Climate Action

Wholly Smoked Gourmet Foods Byron Bay â&#x20AC;&#x201C; contact John 6685 6261

Ocean Shores Butchery

by Ban-ki Moon, secretary-general of the United Nations My big idea is not new. Neither is it, in the larger sense, mine. But it is an idea that will be one major focus of my work next year, and one in which I believe deeply. In 2014, we must turn the greatest collective challenge facing humankind today â&#x20AC;&#x201C; climate change â&#x20AC;&#x201C; into the greatest opportunity for common progress towards a sustainable future. Next year is the year for climate action. We can delay no longer. Our hopes of eradicating poverty, achieving the Millennium Development Goals by the year 2015, and implementing an ambitious development agenda beyond 2015 rest on tackling this challenge now. The costs of inaction will only rise. Countries have agreed to ďŹ nalise an ambitious global legal agreement on climate change by 2015. But there is a steep climb ahead and 2014 is a pivotal year for generating the action and momentum that will propel us forward. Ice caps are melting, sea levels are rising and the oceans are becoming more acidic. Greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we are the ďŹ rst humans ever to breathe air with 400 parts per million of carbon dioxide. Extreme weather events â&#x20AC;&#x201C; heat-waves, ďŹ&#x201A;oods, droughts and tropical cyclones â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are more frequent and severe. We need look no further than the recent catastrophe in the Philippines. All around the world, people now face and fear the wrath of a warming planet. The science is clear. Human activities are the dominant cause of climate change. We cannot blame nature. I am deeply concerned that the scale of our actions is still insufďŹ cient to limit global temperature rise to below two degrees Celsius, the point where the most dangerous impacts of climate change are expected to take hold.

Grass-fed organic beef & Gourmet handcrafted organic pies

Yet I am also hopeful because I see gains on multiple fronts towards a low-carbon future. Many governments, businesses, community groups, women, youth and indigenous leaders are innovating and forging solutions. New programs for sustainable cities and climate-smart agriculture are already delivering beneďŹ ts. Many initiatives are working to reduce emissions and air pollution while strengthening resilience. Countries and companies are realising the economic advantages of combating climate change. Global demand for clean energy, such as solar and wind, continues to rise very sharply and clean energy investment has quadrupled over the last decade. We now know it is possible to close the emissions gap. We must build on this momentum. To achieve the large-scale transformation necessary to stabilise the climate, countries not only need to send the right policy signals and meet their climate ďŹ nance commitments but also set much bolder targets. Climate ďŹ nance is an investment in the future. It must not be taken hostage by short-term budget considerations.

Big Idea 2014: The Year for Climate Action by Ban-ki Moon The rewards can be considerable. As well as reducing emissions, we can light rural clinics and schools, empower local businesses and invigorate economies. Universal access to clean energy can benefit people’s health and advance gender equality. We can open new markets, create decent jobs, and sustainably design burgeoning urban growth. Private investment is essential to meet the growing demand for energy in the developing world. But we cannot mobilise private resources without a public lever. Smart public financing can encourage local and international private investments. Investors and companies need to join forces with the public sector. I will convene a Climate Summit in New York on 23 September next year, one day before the opening of the annual UN General Assembly debate. This Summit is meant to be a solutions summit, not a negotiating session. I have invited all heads of state and ggovernment, along with leaders from business and finance, local government and civil society. I am asking all who come to bring bold and new announcements and action. I am asking them to bring their big ideas. Until then, I will continue to put every effort into mobilising political will, moving financial investors, influencing business leaders and motivating people everywhere to do all they can. Rising to the challenge of climate change is a big idea for next year. But it is also a big idea for the future – of humankind and of our planet. It is a momentous responsibility to shoulder, but I firmly believe that every one of us can step up and become leaders in combating climate change, promoting sustainable development and building lives of dignity for all. Future generations will judge our action on this issue. In 2014, we have the chance to step over to the right side of history. Let’s take it.

Climate Change: A Challenge For Our Times By Ian Somerhalder The UN’s global World Environment Day theme focuses on the impacts of climate change on small island developing states, our ‘canary in the coal mine’ for what all low-lying and vulnerable areas will face in the not-too-distant future. I am really looking forward to heading to Barbados, this year’s WED host country, to witness firsthand the problems the island is facing and the creative solutions it is coming up with to adapt to these challenges. Barbados, a 430-square kilometre nation with a population of 270,000, is considered to be highly vulnerable to the effects of climate change – from agricultural impacts to the destruction of its coastal ecosystems. However, this small nation has taken big steps to reduce its climate footprint and to provide clean, renewable energy, and opportunities for green economic growth, to its people. Among other things, it has pledged to increase the share of renewable energy across the island to 29 per cent of all electricity consumption by 2029. This would cut total electricity costs by an estimated $US283.5 million and reduce CO2 emissions by 4.5 million tons, according to the government. This year, I have been Global warming will result in submerged, no pun intended, a sea level rise of up to in climate-change issues. I care deeply about this because as a Louisiana native I spent my childhood enjoying the beauty, wonder and delicate nature of the Gulf Coast. Hurricane Katrina wreaked havoc by 2100 according to IPCC on this ecosystem and estimates in 2007. Newer clearly demonstrated what research suggests that these increasingly strong superprojections are likely to be at storms, which are caused in least double, up to 2 met- s! part by global warming and higher sea temperatures, In this scenario, small islands can do. like Kiribati, Maldives, Marshall Islands and Tuvalu will It was an amazing coming become uninhabitable. together of individuals, businesses and communities that helped repair the damage caused by Katrina, but the impacts will be long lasting and have had devastating consequences on the economy. Small island developing states with less capacity to handle these acts of nature are even more vulnerable. I was so fortunate to have also participated in the ground-breaking climatechange documentary series, Years of Living Dangerously, produced by James Cameron. The series sent me and other correspondents to report on real-life stories of climate change from around the world. When I found out about this series, my heart jumped out of my chest, because I realised – finally – this needs to happen now. It is hands down the most important project I’ve ever been a part of. What scares me the most about climate change is that by some predictions half of all species on Earth will be extinct within 50 years. We will be experiencing floods and droughts that will prohibit agriculture and fisheries. It’s going to be increasingly difficult for us to get food and water. And within that lies the balance of our very existence.

centimet- s

Small island developing states around the globe are already bearing the brunt of the tragic impacts of climate change, suffering from rising sea levels, severe storm surges and declining ecosystems. It is predicted that some currently inhabited small islands will be completely under water within a few decades. The prime minster of Barbados expressed that his ‘target should be to place Barbados firmly on the world map in the context of the environment and sustainable development’. He added: ‘This can only be achieved if all parties – public and private sector, NGOs and civil society – work together for a successful World Environment Day.’ I agree with this idea of coming together. I have seen it in action and believe that when we combine the power of like-minded people, organisations and businesses that we really can create an exponential impact. This is the essence of World Environment Day and the idea at the heart of my challenge to the global community – to ‘raise your voice, not the sea level’. Humans are currently consuming far more than our planet can provide or sustain. We are polluting our air with carbon emissions, destroying our forests and species, and filling our seas with plastic and waste. The time is now to go greener by making choices that are good for people and the planet. It’s hard in these times to avoid eco fatigue, but fellow Goodwill Ambassadors Gisele Bündchen, Don Cheadle, Yaya Touré and I have joined forces to try to make taking action more fun. We are sending out an SOS to the world on behalf of small island developing states. Our ‘message in the bottle’? We are all connected. The challenges faced by islands will face us all. So, every action we take to reduce waste and mitigate climate change counts. Pledge to make a difference by taking action for World Environment Day. We can do this by coming together as communities – businesses, organisations, schools and individuals – to connect our resources and skills to our passion for a more sustainable, resource-efficient way of living. We can do it by being more informed and by doing business with companies that have demonstrated their commitment to these issues. We can plant more trees, grow more kitchen gardens and just think more carefully about how the decisions we make impact our one and only Planet Earth. – edited from a blog for Huffington Post huffingtonpost.com.

To date there had been no real theatrical presentation of the life and music of John Lennon.’ According to Waters, Lennon tells his story in his songs. ‘His autobiography was in his lyrics; they were very personal, and his ability to lay himself bare was quite extraordinary.’ Waters was a Lennon fan from early on and he recalled some of the reaction at the time to Yoko Ono, Lennon’s life partner. ‘I remember the racist diatribes that were in the British press at the time; they called her inscrutably Oriental. I think she has held herself with incredible dignity.’

JOHN WATERS SINGS THE MUSIC AND TELLS STORIES OF JOHN LENNON AT THE BALLINA RSL ON FRIDAY. SHOW AT 8PM. TIX AT THE CLUB.

of course, there were the critics at the time who said he’s a spoilt brat, they have all this money and then they don’t want it. I don’t think it’s a great leap of imagination to realise it doesn’t bring you happiness; everything you want is laid on a plate but that doesn’t mean you are a content person.’ Waters believes the songs of Lennon are poetic and deeply challenging.

‘There is something in each of the songs. There are some major moments in the show that are to do with the message that is to come through – there is an extremely beautiful song HOW and then GOD So how does one tell such an immense story? – where he sings that god is a concept by which ‘This is not a chronological storytelling – it’s a we measure our pain. The song HOW is the perfect collage – sound bites, quotes and things I imagine encapsulation of the disconnected nature of the he might have said about certain things. I wanted to identity and our purpose and this neverending find his anger, his humour, his redemption.’ search. Lennon was one of the first musicians to achieve ‘He was a songwriting genius and to me that song worldwide rock-star status. encapsulates his genius. I close the first half of the ‘It’s impossible to imagine what it would be like to have that degree of worldwide fame, I know what it’s like here in Australia as an actor, but then you magnify that a hundred times – that’s the result of his wanting to be a successful popstar. He wanted the money and he wanted the fame. And then,

show with Strawberry Fields. We stripped back to a slow song with piano accompaniment with Stuart, who is an amazing accompanist. I remember when I heard this song the first time, and I thought wow this has redefined songwriting; it doesn’t have a regular structure, or a chord sequence.’

Waters closes the show with Imagine. It’s perhaps the song that Lennon is most remembered for. ‘It’s about the concept of visualisation, and that was a big thing for Yoko as well. She had a big influence on that song; she used that word a lot in her poetry. Much as Yoko gets maligned for sticking her nose in, she never claims authorship, and he uses her as an influence a lot. Lennon’s not saying the world will be peaceful; what he is saying is try imagining it, see how it feels. He was much more attached to his philosophies – he read a lot of alternative philosophies.’ This is the third incarnation of Looking Through a Glass Onion and later this year Waters and D’Arrietta will perform the show in New York. ‘I always wanted to do it. Nowhere is Lennon more revered than he is in New York City. There is a collective guilt that he died in that city. They love him over there; I have the feeling that we will be well received. This show has evolved from my love of performing and a love of the 60s and music, so I was able to put in everything I know. I never expected I would still be doing this show at that time; it’s become the major weapon in my arsenal.’

I think she’s been cleaning a home for over three decades so she’s got pretty good at it.’ What a degrading statement to have to make about your friend to prove their worthiness. I couldn’t resist. ‘There was this one time though when she left the milk on the bench. Overnight.’ Rebecca doesn’t say anything. ‘I’m kidding.’ The evil part of me wanted to say, ‘Oh and every once and a while she likes to smear poo on the walls, but apart from that, she’s super tidy!’ Then Rebecca asks what kind of person she is and how I would describe her. Really? It feels like I am helping to compile an online dating profile, not provide a rental reference. I’m not sure what to say. ‘She’s very kind. Intelligent. Funny. And a nympho. She will turn the garage into a sex dungeon, but don’t worry, she hoses it out once a week.’ Then I realise what Rebecca is fishing for. ‘She’s reliable, hardworking, honest and has a lot of integrity.’ This is getting more patronising by the moment. ‘She’s been in upper management positions for 20 years,

Rebecca.’ Rebecca stumbles, ‘Oh, that sounds good’. When it comes to criteria, Rebecca is one tough cookie. Then she asks about the cat. ‘Do you know her cat?’ Well I’ve patted it once or twice, but do I know it? Does anyone ever really know a cat? If James Packer applied to lease a property would Rebecca be calling up his best mate David Gyngell to ask what kind of bloke he was and had he met his cat? ‘Well, Rebecca, he’s prone to punch-ups and he likes a lot of pussy.’ I doubt it. ‘Yes I have met her cat.’ Then Rebecca goes one step further, into what I would say was a line of questioning that even I didn’t expect. ‘And how would you describe its toileting?’ ‘Excuse me?’ Rebecca qualifies her question with, ‘How is she with the kitty litter?’ You know, when I visit someone, that’s the first place I go to look. The kitty litter. ‘She’s excellent, Rebecca, my friend hardly ever misses.’ There is silence. ‘Oh, you mean the cat?’ There is beeping. Rebecca has hung up. Fuck! I think I blew it.

Hailing from the burbs of Brisbane, indie/ alt-rock band Faleepo Francisco are making their way into the ever-growing music scene, with their take on bringing bluesy riffs and bouncy indie groove to listeners all over the country. Coming together back in August 2012 with members Rhys Roberts, Aaron Muscat and Jack Dean, Faleepo Francisco have been playing big shows and recording a debut EP, which is due to be released midyear. Come check out the boys together with support act Dane Adamo at The Byron Bay Brewery, Saturday, 8pm, free entry.

The tour went better than expected and I wanted to capture how things had changed musically in what was essentially the same format. I am pretty happy with how it turned out.’ Ed Kuepper plays the Star Court Theatre in Lismore on Saturday.

There is a certain circularity to Wall of Love’s gig at Sphinx Rock Café this Sunday. It was two years ago almost to the day that three of the band members first came together to jam at this glorious little creekside venue at the foot of a majestic rock formation in northern NSW. Wall of Love formed from an unlikely but easy compatibility between a Sydney musician whose roots lie in post-punk, disco and inner-city country rock and three friends from Brisbane with a proclivity for folk, who all now hail from northern NSW. The music they make together is unsurprisingly eclectic, delightfully melodic but always about the love. Wall of Love play Sphinx Rock Café, Mount Burrell, Sunday at 1pm.

John was doing DJing around Sydney; he was after someone to help him with his housey tunes, and we bonded over a mutual artist called Booka Shade. We made our first track, and then our first EP. We were trying to work out how to play it live, whether we wanted to be producers or DJ friendly or a band, so we went to find what drummer we could get, and we poached James from Swipe! He ended up staying with us; now for the second EP he’s finding his feet… we work like a nicely oiled machine!’

Stars As June moves away from May’s confronting variations, this week’s astral emphasis is on new ideas and social collaboration…

E ARIES: It’s a good idea not to get carried away when expressing your feelings in words, texts, emails or social media. Coming across too strong could work against you in community or group affairs. That said, this week encourages the original, creative thinking you excel at. F TAURUS: Venus in Taurus blesses you with popularity, confidence and mucho magnetism. Others appreciate your earthy expertise and want what you’ve got. Despite financial pressures and the odd ruffled feather, this week encourages participation in your favourite things: family gatherings, domestic improvements and pampering your inner artist. G GEMINI: Your thought processes are probably far faster than most people’s this week, so make an effort to stay clear, concise and simple. It’ll be hard with so many attractive distractions, but resist multitasking and over-extending what you’re realistically able to do or give. H CANCER: Emotions welling up out of nowhere? Laughter’s the best antidote to sadness, so bringing lightness to situations (Cancerian Buddhist Pema Chödrön suggests like a hot elephant diving into a lake, or a joyful horse) will go a long way to making this week more enjoyable, less stressy.

Workshops are open to all levels of experience for both men and women and are taught in a fun and supportive environment. Don’t miss out on your chance to strut your stuff! Book now as class sizes are limited. Tickets $50 + $3.75 booking fee. Private classes available upon request. Tuesday 10 and 12 June. For more information about workshops go to www.australianburlesquefest.com.

TALKING CINEMA

I LEO: This week’s heady chemistry could incline you to feel you’re in total rapport – but are you sure? If you find others you thought were on the same page aren’t even in a similar reality, don’t get your mane in a mess. Appreciate the joke and move on. J VIRGO: This week’s good news is interesting invitations, unexpected offers and travel possibilities. With planetary emphasis on the social side of business, cultivate career connections, schmooze, work the room, follow up on promising leads. Your financial instincts are reliable, especially during late-week Virgo moon. K LIBRA: While this week stirs dreams of expansion, with so many variables of minds changing and lives rearranging it isn’t particularly effective for making firm plans. Mind-mapping, feasibility studies, research, certainly – but wait till next month when the odds are in your favour before locking things in. L SCORPIO: With the sun in the sign of the loquacious Twins, idle chitchat and damaging gossip are pitfalls if you’re not vigilant this week. Which needs you doing what Scorpios do best, ie directing that penetrating intelligence beneath the surface of what’s not being seen, heard or discussed.

I love that you don’t present as nice, tidy, well-groomed inner-city lads from the latte belt… (although you might be); how important is this maverick spirit to the spirit of GT? Ha ha, how dare you! We’ve been trying to be neat and tidy the whole time. I guess in all truth, Graveyard Train is a labour of love for each of us. We probably spend more money on instruments, records and touring. So when it comes to fancy clothes and lattes, I guess they come last. How do you approach a live show? Just like anyone else would. Hang by the front bar, drink as much of the rider as possible, and smoke too many cigarettes before releasing everything in that hour and a half of madness. What is the story about ruining Tamworth? Do you think the hardcore country music crowd are ready for the way country is evolving? IN A FEW SHORT YEARS GRAVEYARD TRAIN There’s nothing Australian about most of the country music in HAVE MORPHED FROM A BUNCH OF MATES Tamworth, which ironically is held around Australia Day.

So I think we can all pat each other on What should we expect for your Byron show? the back for getting this far. It’s the first show of the whole tour and this band loves Byron Bay.

ALL ABOARD THE GRAVEYARD TRAIN

22 June 3, 2014 The Byron Shire Echo

M SAGITTARIUS: Ideas are inspiring, mind games misleading and trivial disputes damaging this week, so concentrate on finding common ground. Rather than polarise into either/or, think either/and. Limit interaction with energy-draining personalities and remember others do have feelings, even if it’s not evident from the way they’re behaving. N CAPRICORN: If issues of who’s boss (that’s Capricorns, right?) have you feel you’re losing control this week, switch focus to what it is you want to achieve instead of wasting time angsting over who’s calling the shots. Determination and generosity should lead to late-week resolution. O AQUARIUS: Now the pep’s back in your step and wild ideas are on the wing, all manner of imaginative proposals and inviting schemes come your way. Let fancy fly free by all means, but be aware of which are likely to evaporate and what could possibly eventuate. P P ISCES: With dual energies of extrovert Gemini and stay-at-home Cancer vacillating between stressy and supportive, this week’s flirtatious social bouillabaisse seethes with tasty possibilities that can easily bubble over into tiffs and bickering. Your mission is to lower temperature levels by cooling, soothing and sweetening the mix.

Cinema Reviews

MALEFICENT

This might be described as Disney’s very contemporary prequel to the studio’s famous animated version of Sleeping Beauty (1959), only with an unexpected but touching twist when Aurora (Elle Fanning) is aroused from her slumber. As per general practice, the story is set in a non-specific medieval period, with a pointy-turreted castle, helmeted soldiers with spears and a Scots-accented court. They live on the human side of the water, whereas the neighbouring moorland is occupied by fairies and dragons and other fantastical creatures. Their queen is Maleficent (Angelina Jolie) and, according to this take on events, she put the evil spell on the beautiful young princess (that she’d prick her finger on a spinning wheel and fall into a death-like sleep) out of spite and jealousy because she had been betrayed by Aurora’s father, Stefan. It’s a dark, unflattering depiction of what underpins people’s behaviour – but fairytales are more often than not like that (grim by name and nature). Maleficent, after she’d had her wings stolen by Stefan, used her transformative powers to turn a crow into the human Diaval (Sam Riley), whom she then employed as the partner of her labours (with an Irish accent – are the two Celtic tongues subliminally differentiated as mean and warm?).

Engaging if not wholly absorbing, it moves on a logical progression with clearly identified cause and effects etc, and the CGI is typically wondrous (it would be so especially for kids), if not especially memorable (smoke-and-mirrors is so taken for granted these days). Jolie is not quite scary enough, despite her fearfully chiseled cheek-bones and cold glassy eyes, but she will provide a challenge for the younger audience, for she is both villain and heroine, a wronged woman whose natural desire for vengeance unfortunately falls on an innocent victim. The handsome prince is a gormless non-event, the mother of Aurora, Stefan’s bride, is written out of the script entirely and, as one of the fairies tasked with looking after Aurora, Imelda Staunton displays her unfailing genius to annoy.

HEALING

stubbornness and inner turmoil that easily elicits empathy, the ever reliable Hugo Weaving is stoic but likeable as Officer Perry, while Mark Leonard Winter’s Shane, the weedy but rat-cunning Before Origin last week, one of the talking boofheads slipped in an advertorial for the dead-boring X-Men – as if the squillion- stoner, delivers lines of deliciously un-PC humour. Lifting it to dollar juggernaut needs a leg-up. Meanwhile, a fabulous, much greater heights, the music of David Hirschfelder, so perfectly withheld until exactly the right moments for maximum lower-budget Australian flick withers in the shade. That’s The Coliseum for you. The opening sequence in writer/director Craig effect, makes poetry with Oscar winner Andrew Lesnie’s Monahan’s unheralded gem, of an eagle in pursuit of a hawk, is cinematography. breathtakingly fast and tense. Perhaps the real star of the show, however, is Yasmine – a When the mighty raptor is entangled in barbed wire, it is wedge-tailed eagle, just like the ones we see soaring on the collected by the inmates of a prison farm and, with other thermals of our own skies. Releasing her into the wild, Viktor damaged birds, nursed back to health in an aviary constructed tells her, ‘All you seek, is you’. As in real life, the perfect ending for the purpose. Viktor (Don Hany), an Iranian, will be its chief might not always be what you anticipated, for, as Bob Dylan minder. The obvious metaphor, in the title and circumstances sang all those years ago, ‘are birds free from the chains of the of the men’s captivity, is beautifully dealt with in a script skyways?’ The greatest learning is gifted to us when we’re able that creates mounting tension without resort to mawkish to cope with the hardest truths. This is by far the best movie on sentimentality or thrill-seeking violence – it is subtle in a way in town, one that will let your heart take flight. Go see it. that has become all too uncommon. Performances are great – Hany, whom we know from TV, gives to Viktor an embittered John Campbell

The only exclusively Vietnamese restaurant in town, this intimate space spilling out into a courtyard offers up fabulous dishes packed full of herbs, spices and varied textures. The traditionally light and healthy style of cuisine ensures the freshness and natural tastes of food are preserved as much as possible. It’s a popular spot so bookings are recommended.

NEW BRIGHTON

Lemongrass

Agriculture’s relative economic importance to the Shire has declined in the last decades, compared to tourism. Dairy farming has given way to small-scale horticulture, notably macadamia farming, and our good restaurants champion the local, often organic, produce. In fact restaurants are themselves a drawcard for tourists, with people travelling from Sydney especially to eat at Fins.

The ‘Yum Yum Tree’ was a traditional meeting place for the first Australians of our area. A place to take sustenance, and catch up with old and new friends. Come notice the extra flair, enthusiasm and personal touch of the Yum Yum Tree Café team, a collection of professional, down to earth people, enjoying their day serving you the tastiest meals and drinks. www.yumyumtreecafe.com.au

HUEY

is a handsome 16 month old desexed male mixed breed. He is a mix of working breeds so is an active boy who loves to play. He is quite timid initially and is currently on a property with another dog and cats so would prefer a quiet rural or semi rural situation ideally. If you can give Huey a permanent, loving home please contact the Friends of the Pound Rehoming Centre on (07) 5524 8590 or Pam on 0421 017 461. Visit friendsofthepound.com to view other dogs and cats looking for a home.

THE FAMILY OF THE LATE RON KING of Ocean Shores would like to extend heartfelt thanks to all their friends & family who sent ﬂowers, cards & condolences on the passing of their wonderful husband, father & grandfather. Please accept this as personal thanks as the number of tributes for Ron has been overwhelming.

Last-minute space found for more letters Pyramid blues Let me get this straight (re: p40, last edition). An agriculture lecturer receiving money from the Grain Research Corporation resuscitates the recently scrapped food pyramid (highly influenced by industry), which now returns (Medusa-like) with two heads, the second courtesy of Barilla (a pasta company), suggesting to us that eating more grains will be good for the environment. I nearly choked on my baguette! The take-home message: the grain industry wants you to eat more grains. It could be considered a little rich for the grain industry to play the environmental card. Monoculturing, soil depletion and chemical farming are largely causes of our environmental problems, not the solution. Didn’t Einstein say we can’t solve the problems of today with the same thinking that created them? We don’t need to sustain this model; we need to resuscitate it, along with our soils. The Pyramids may be one of mankind’s greatest ever achievements but the food pyramid may go down as one of our worst. Take-home message: If you see a food pyramid, run. And eat more VEGETABLES. Disclosures: nil. Dr Marcus Hewitson

applied for at West Byron. I’d rather the state sent the role of assessing the matter back to Council. 2. Council joining its neighbouring shires to ask the state to revoke the exploration licences it granted in the northern rivers and to declare us gasfield free. 3. Council pointing out to state ministers and to our neighbouring shires in NOROC that we prefer use of the Casino to Murwillumbah rail corridor for rail transport and that our support for rail trail is limited – that use must not be at the expense of rail. 4. Council reversing its decision to allow (under the new Local Environmental Plan) the land use ‘warehouse and distribution centre’ in our rural zones. I support farming and, when new infrastructure is needed to make the farm work, let’s have it. However, I don’t want activities like the truck terminal recently approved at Myocum just because there’s space on a farm to fit them. If the farm’s soil is not involved, warehouses and distribution centres belong in industrial zones where their impacts such as noise and traffic are expected. 5. Council making a submission to oppose the liquor licence sought by Aldi for its supermarket in Byron Bay. It’s simple: we don’t need more outlets in a town already overrun with alcohol-related problems. The wording of the Motions will be in the agenda on Council’s website for ten days before the meeting, ie from Tuesday June 3.

Quickly melting

A study published in Scientific American, May 19, says that previous estimates of sea-level rise are now invalid and that new estimates of more rapid sea rise will have to be made. They say this is because deep, below sea-level valleys are carrying warm ocean water 100 kilometres underneath many parts of the three-kilometrethick Greenland ice cap. At the same time NASA has just released studies showing a similar situation exists in Antarctica, where deep valleys can also carry warm ocean water hundreds of kilometres underneath the Antarctic ice cap, causing it to melt 100 times quicker from underneath than it does on top. This may be of interest to various local communities. Peter Olson

Indefensible Kevin Hogan’s attempt to defend the indefensible federal budget in last week’s Echo was truly pathetic. Kevin seems to suffer from the same delusion as the prime minister. Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes true. The claim that Labor left the economy in a mess is a claim with no basis in fact whatsoever. We have the third lowest debt in the OECD. There is no ‘debt crisis’. The sad truth is that this budget barely makes a dent in the deficit anyway; it’s too busy satisfying the ideological wish list of the major LNP donors who paid for the last election. As a consequence, we have a budget that targets the sick and disabled, the elderly and the young but rewards the mining and coal barons with multibillion dollar tax breaks. If Kevin Hogan thinks he can pat pensioners on the head with ‘the changes don’t start for another 20 years’ garbage, he’s also deluding himself. The cuts will start in a month’s time if this passes. Try pretending it’s not happening then. Cr Keith Williams

Depleted Red Devils staved off by Papists John Campbell

Sunday’s 16–14 loss to Marist Brothers in round eight of the NRRRL might ironically have provided Byron Bay with more positives than you’d normally expect from a defeat. It was a tough encounter that saw the lead change hands a few times before the home side was able to snatch the victory with a try in the corner as full time loomed. For Byron, who had battled so hard, it was a bitter pill, but given that at least seven regular first-graders were missing from the side, the effort was more than commendable. With the battle-hardened old-heads missing, the club’s young Turks were given their opportunity and, to a man – Lachlan ‘Corporal’ Jones, Sam ‘Dolly’ Dwyer, Fraser ‘Fletch-

er’ Jones and William ‘Peppi’ Goldsmith – they didn’t take a backward step in the physical and psychological turmoil of playing with the big boys. Even the likes of Wally ‘Prince’ Andrews, who had already made his usual hard yards with the reggies, put his hand up to be counted. (Wally is the Bay’s resident Nathan Hindmarsh clone, not because he makes 250 tackles in forty minutes, but because he never fails to give the mob a look at his bumcrack as his strides make their inevitable slide towards his ankles. We love him.) The Bay always looked to have the skill factor working for them, and it was exemplified when centre Chris ‘BB’ King chipped inside his own half and, defying all the laws of physics and gravity, collected the ball at his toes

while flying at full tilt and went steaming for the line. Lanky James ‘Mook’ Harrington got it across the chalk in the next set to put the Devils ahead 6–0. It was a classic war of attrition as the rumble continued for the next hour. When Hemi ‘Sphere’ Mullen, backing up from rep duty the day before, bulldozed over in the second half to put Byron ahead 14–12 it appeared that an unlikely two points would be snatched by the Devils… but fate, and the ref ’s whistle, is a cruel mistress. No footy next weekend, as we celebrate [sic] our foreign head of state’s birthday (which is not even her birthday anyway), but on Sunday, June 15, the Devils are at home to the high-flying Casino Cougars. It should be an absolute balltearer – one not to be missed.

The Shand cricket series rides again Brian Mollet

With much of the world in turmoil and the local political landscape a bleak and pitiless picture it is strangely comforting to know that a winter’s worth of Sundays are about to be frittered away in a most unproductive manner as the pinnacle of the social game, the Nick Shand Memorial Cricket Series, swings into its eighteenth season. The Byron Full-Tossers took time out from their other pastime of separating tourists from their money to take on the hill-dwelling Left Bankers, freshly emerged after a long summer digging man-traps in their driveways and adding sniper towers to their bush bunkers. Rain in the lead up to Sunday had the famous turf at Lomath Oval as lank and greasy as Tony Abbott’s comb-over so it was a good toss for Scruff

of the Bankers to win; Byron asked to bat first. Ponytailed statesman of the game Fab Phil skidded an in-dipper into Janny’s stumps in the second over to give the Bankers an early dividend. Anything hit along the ground was smothered mercilessly by the turf so Adam (33) took to the skies while Frankie assembled a picket fence of singles at the other end. Jon showed some heft with the bat to take the Tossers to drinks well placed at 2–65. After that it was a bit of a rout though as Clay (3–8), Simon, Russel and Aaron all romped through the hapless Byron lower order. With the field drying out the Bankers had only 110 to score and were planning an early afternoon and maybe adding some razor wire to the perimeter fence. The Tossers weren’t about to toss it in, Jon steamed from

the skatepark end, adding a few nice verbal shots to his aggressive fast mediums, and Frankie’s well-pitched curlers had the first scalp in the fourth over. ‘Bollywood’ Frankie then held a hot chance at midwicket and Adam got opener Leon to skew one to Jon at third man to have the Banking sector in crisis mode at 3–16. Scruff (30 n/o) and Clay both hit a single boundary but the scorebook looked like a barcode as the Bankers jogged to a winning position 22 yards at a time. Neat spells from Craig (1–6) and Christian (1–8) were not enough to stop the Bankers opening the season with a win. Next week the disciples of St Seymour, the Geckos, tussle with the team who bring their own theme and soundtrack to every game, the Suffolk Swingers.

Rams’ Match of the Season Billed as the Match of the Season`, Sunday’s clash between top-of-the-table rivals, Byron Bay and Lismore Thistles was no disappointment. The reserve grade teams were fairly evenly matched, with Byron looking the stronger early in the game. A couple of extraordinary defensive lapses from the Thistles saw

Byron’s lead extend to 3–1 before the Lismore outfit rallied and clawed back two to finish the match at three all. Another strong team effort from the Byron Reserves, with outstanding performances from Tai Flanagan, Jono Pierce and Lucas O’Donnell. The much-anticipated Premier-division match saw

Thistles (down two key players) take to the pitch with a very defensive mindset. The Rams, determined not to let this one get away, went in hard from the opening whistle. A series of lightning-fast attacks from the Rams’ Kazahiro Tsukamoto and Connor Cannon kept the Thistles on the back foot and forced some spectacular work from the Lismore ’keeper.

It’s all about the boys in the shire

In a local derby blockbuster, all three of the shire’s union teams descended on the rec grounds in Byron Bay for a rainy day event on Saturday. In a great game of pushme-pull-you in the reggies, the Mullumbimby Moonshiners won over the top of Bangalow in a 29–10 win. Then…

After five glorious seasons on top, Byron Bay rugby has lost the ascendancy to Shire archrivals Bangalow. Playing on the first wet track of the season, Byron seemed up for the contest against a very beatable looking Rebels outfit. Both teams were nervous in attack against the typically punishing defence. Byron forced seven turnovers in the opening 10 minutes but squandered the advantage with a slew of handling errors in their own half. Possession and territory count for so much more in these derby contests and Bangalow were gifted the early lead through two penalty conversions. From the kickoff Byron worked into the attacking quarter for the first time and were rewarded immediately

when Bangalow left the ball unattended at the back of the ruck for Tom Homer to swoop and score under the posts. Having taken the lead, the Bay were expected to turn the pressure on their rivals but the complete opposite unfolded. Byron simply could not get out of their own half and steadfastly refused to kick the ball. The visitors’ back three defended very deep, offering up an inviting space behind the charging Rebels’ defensive line. But there were no high balls or kicks to space and in the slippery conditions Byron’s ball-in-hand strategy was their undoing. While Bangalow are not really known for expansive rugby, their backs were sharp and purposeful and made enough gains to satisfy their big forwards. Byron conceded further penalties under pressure (some of which were warranted) and inevitably the visitors added a try to widen the margin. Derby games are usually see-sawing affairs but with Byron having a mountain to climb in the second half the visitors controlled the match and denied their opponents all but a fleeting glimpse of

the try line. In Byron’s second visit into the attacking quarter the wonderfully competitive Jash Saeck dashed down the blind side from fullback and was carried over the line by his forwards. It was all very difficult for the Byron fans to watch, more so with serious injuries to Romey Vassell and Craig Wallace. The effort was brave but the execution was poor. The best for the Bay were Homer, Saeck, cult figure Aaron ‘Shakey’ Shakeshaft, newcomer Pete Weir, and the returning Josh Smith who, despite not training for nine months, looked more than comfortable. It remains to be seen if the Bay can avenge their 25–12 loss when the teams meet again in August but the manner of the defeat on Saturday was troubling. In a hugely competitive season the Bay have slipped from being fifth, two points out of the four, to now being seven points adrift in seventh place. The Bay has a week to lick their wounds before making a season-defining road trip to Grafton, who surprised the champions Lismore 19–14 on Saturday. Go the Bay!

counterattacks under control while the Lismore defence held back a sustained hammering from the Byron forwards. Sixty minutes in, a soft red card for Sam McIntyre left Byron with a ten-man team and a fast and furious battle for the top of the table honours. Far from wilting, however, the Byron attack became more resolved and relentless, forcing the Thistles into an even more defensive mode

– repeatedly kicking the ball out of bounds under the mounting pressure. The deadlock was finally broken when a corner from Connor Cannon was dropped by the Thistles ’keeper. Byron fullback Nick Baker pounced on the wayward ball to give the Rams a 1–nil lead. The Byron attack continued right to the whistle, with only great saves from the Lismore ’keeper preventing a bigger margin. Standout perfomances

from the Rams were from the tireless Tsukamoto and Cannon up front, Michael Kelly and Lachie Dewar in the midfield and Nick Baker, the Packham brothers and ’keeper, Chris Jones. Heading into the second half of the season, the undefeated Byron Bay is now a clear and deserving leader of the Football Far North Coast Premier Division and looking like a serious contender for minor and major premiership honours.

By Colin Brinsden, AAP The steep drop in consumer confidence in recent weeks risks overshadowing positive signs emerging in the economy. A burst of new home building activity is providing a major boost to the economy at a time when resources investment is in decline. And the good news for potential home buyers is that housing affordability is at its lowest point in over a decade thanks to low interest rates and a slow-down in house price rises. But among a raft of new data releases, there also are signs of a significant loss of momentum in the overall economy. The Westpac-Melbourne Institute May leading index, which indicates the likely pace of economic activity three to nine months into the future, showed its weakest reading since late 2011. Back then, the Reserve Bank had just started cutting interest rates, consumer sentiment had slumped and the European sovereign debt crisis was in full swing. Westpac senior economist Matthew Hassan says there are similarities with that episode now, not least the sharp fall in consumer confidence in response to the federal budget handed down two weeks ago. The current slowdown in the index may be temporary, while

the sharp decline in consumer sentiment may reverse or dissipate over time, he said. Other new data showed construction work completed in the first three months of the year rose by a stronger-than-expected 0.3 per cent, buoyed by a 6.8 per cent jump in residential building. This helped to offset a 1.5 per cent decline in non-residential building and a 1.6 per cent fall in engineering work, a consequence of the fading mining investment boom. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What is clear is that the construction boom hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t turned to a construction bust,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Common-

wealth Securities chief economist Craig James said. The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;baton passâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; from engineering to residential building was proceeding nicely. The federal governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resources forecaster highlighted the extent of decline in committed investment projects in its latest quarterly report, falling from a peak of $268 billion in April 2013 to $229 billion at the end of April 2014.

In the past six months, 21 projects were completed worth a combined $266 billion, the Bureau of Resources and Energy Economics report shows. However, industry minister Ian Macfarlane says the focus is now shifting to production and output. That will last for decades and deliver sustained and substantial economic benefits.

Housing affordability remains favourable: HIA-CBA Record low interest rates helped drive the HIA-CBA Housing Affordability Index to its most favourable level in 12 years during the March 2014 quarter, according to the Housing Industry Association. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The continuation of record low interest rates, combined with decelerating home price increases and growth in earnings over the quarter, saw the HIA-CBA Housing Affordability Index improve to its most favourable level since March 2002,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said HIA senior economist Shane Garrett. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The HIA-Commonwealth Bank Housing Affordability Index improved by 2.1 per cent during the first quarter of 2014 and affordability is now 10.8 per cent more favourable than a year ago. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Increases in home prices over the past year have been significant. However, the impact of lower interest rates and continued earnings growth has ensured that home purchase affordability has improved over the past year for existing home owners and those on the cusp of entering the market in the short term. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;As home price pressures ease off, we expect home owner affordability to remain reasonably favourable for the foreseeable future.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Byron council has reluctantly abandoned its proposed green-waste bin service, citing the costs by tendering companies as too high. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face it, however: the need for a green-bin service is an admission of failure by our socalled green community in its ability to deal with its own waste by actively composting and mulching, even shifting the big stuff to a friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farm if your own block wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deal with it. Most green things, even Bangalow-palm fronds, can be rotted down to make beautiful mulch for the veggie patch. Q Q Q Q

Byron Council officersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; approval of a private gig, complete with marquee and alcohol, on Clarkes Beach has failed to shift localsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hearts and minds in favour of privatisation of our public assets for corporate enjoyment. Nor have the draft plans, revealed in an invite-only meeting,

for takeover of most of the beachside towns by holidaylet precincts stirred feelings of delight. As Marvin Gaye so famously sang, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

In another case of local fame, cat owner Ang McDermott and her clever feline Billi made it onto the F U Tube segment of The Checkout, the consumer advice show par excellence.

There have been some wins in the field of government, however. The NSW government is supporting the development of renewable-energy services in its submission to the Renewable Energy Target (RET) review (Solar Citizens http:// bit.ly/RETsolar), and premier Mike Baird is allowing one of the Nationals MPs to put up a bill for the legalisation of medicinal cannabis (Echonetdaily http://bit.ly/medcanbis). Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit of a worry when a LibNats state government looks more sensible in its decision-making than your local council. Q Q Q Q

Those chardonnay-sipping lefty fans of GetUp have now decided whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to them and, guess what, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not Joe Hockeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget emergency. The top three issues, in order, are action on climate change, asylum seekers and refugees, and the social security net. Find out more at http://bit.ly/getupvision.
