Bruns plans Happy 25th, Mullum Markets! adopted Hans Lovejoy

Perhaps the biggest-ever development of Brunswick Heads has been approved by the coalition state government; however, it remarkably comes without any press release, publicity or notification. Additionally, the independent audit that accompanies the public submission report casts doubt on the state government’s decision to approve ambitious plans to develop the town’s three holiday parks and Crown reserves. The decision came as the government’s Crown Lands White Paper (www.bit.ly/1rllofw) closed for public submission on June 20. It recommended privatising large swathes of public lands for commercial activity. A tip-off from an Echo reader pointed to the announcement for Bruns on the NSW Crown Lands website (bit.ly/1kvpYov), which says the plans of management (POMs), have ‘been approved and adopted by the minister on June 2, 2014’. The website also contains the POMs for Ferry Reserve, Massey Green and Terrace Reserve holiday parks and other Brunswick Heads Crown foreshore reserves.

Audit casts doubt on approval decision To gain the minister’s approval, a public submission report and audit were required to examine the methodology employed to collate the public’s comments over the proposal.

The submission report claims that the issues have been addressed for 1,425 individual issues that arose from 158 public submissions and two petitions presented, one of which had 2,095 signatures. But the audit that examined the report is critical of the lack of recognition of ‘significant and frequently raised issues that were beyond the scope of the planning process’. Authored by Dr John Mackenzie, the audit also questions the methodology used in collating the submissions, undertaken by North Coast Holiday Parks (NCHP) manager Jim Bolger.

Long-running dispute It’s the latest in a long-running dispute between the NSW government and locals and councillors, sparked in 2006 after the government took control of public assets from the cash-strapped Byron Council, resulting in a loss of revenue. The revamp plans went on exhibition late last year, and NCHP’s Bolger faced an angry public at his two public information sessions over various issues. They included the removal of public-access areas previously accessed and the continuing encroachment onto public lands to accommodate holiday park expansion. And bad press has hounded Bolger for other reasons; The Echo reported that he inexplicably tried to evict the long-established Brunswick Buccaneer boat-hire business with just four days’ notice in April last year.

Rail line bridges demolished Chris Dobney

The removal of two historic bridges – one near Lismore and the other at Binna Burra – are the first works to have effectively severed the north coast railway line. It comes despite a NSW upper house MP last week tabling a petition with more than 1,300 signatures to provide regular commuter train services along the north coast rail line using diesel railcars. Work commenced on the first of the two bridges, at Woodlawn Street, North Lismore, on Sunday June 15. A second bridge crossing Lismore Road at Binna Burra was demolished last week. The works came as TOOT spokesperson and Byron councillor Basil Cameron called on government to

scrap its plans for a rail trail along the old route. Mr Cameron said the costs of a rail trail had been underestimated in the recently released Casino to Murwillumbah Rail Trail Study, while an earlier study on the cost of returning a rail service had been inflated. Greens NSW MP, Dr Mehreen Faruqi, who tabled the petition, meanwhile said the government could start ‘repairing the track from Lismore to Casino as a priority’.

‘Over-inflated estimations’ ‘The $900 [cost] million estimated for reinstating the Casino to Murwillumbah line is over-inflated with a massive 50 per cent “contingencies” added to the cost,’ Ms Faruqi said. ‘Regional rail in Victoria has been continued on page 2

continued from page 1 the time of his POM exhibition period, Bolger refused to answer The Echo’s questions and omitted any reference to the 30-year-old tourist attraction in his POMs. Bolger’s actions sparked a petition, with thousands of signatures collected in support of retaining the tourist attraction. While then-Crown Lands minister Andrew Stoner (Nationals) refused to comment, local NSW MP Don Page (Nationals) made a remarkable ‘on the run’ policy

joined residents in roundly condemning the plans. She told The Echo the plan’s adoption ‘Ilustrates that the state is yet another opportunistic developer, with power to approve its own developments.’ ‘The community spoke out on many issues regarding the recent and past draft plans for the idyllic and significant Brunswick sites. What the government has accepted for the low-key village of Brunswick is an over- development that will create a standard of development that is out of character with the town and will change the feel and look of Brunswick.’ Ms Barham also warned the plans ‘will out-compete private tourism operators with development that would not be acceptable by a private operator. Also it appears that the opportunity to display best-practice environmental and community planning principles has not been a consideration.’ Meanwhile resident Patricia Warren described the outcome as ‘peanuts for the peasants,’ and Bolger’s responses to public concerns as ‘purely cosmetic’. She is just one of a group of residents who have been active in opposing NCHP’s takeover and subsequent expansion plans. Ms Warren told The Echo, ‘The comments/recommendations made [by NCHP regarding the submissions] do not address the contentious issues

of boundaries and, by default, the minister and his advisers have opposed the community’s strong and continued opposition to these land grabs.’

Public access ‘conditional’ As for one of the most contentious issues – public foreshore access along Simpsons Creek at Terrace Reserve Holiday Park – NCHP responded to public concerns with, ‘Conditional access… is provided subject to reasonable conditions.’ Ms Warren replied that contrary to strong public opposition, this allows a determination to ‘privatise’ sites for long-term tenants.

Noncommittal language Similarly resident Sean O’Meara was outraged at the outcome and pointed to the vague and noncommittal language NCHP used in his reply to community concerns. Phrases such as ‘Likely to be relaxed’, ‘fences only installed as last resort’, ‘we will endeavour’ and ‘have noted and will consider,’ can be found throughout the report. ‘This response holds them to nothing and they will go on as usual if something is not done,’ says O’Meara. ‘I challenge Bolger to scrape together more than 20 names of Brunswick Heads locals who agree with his actions and think it is okay to privatise

our public foreshore areas and block local families and tourists from playing in the parks and swimming in the rivers. ‘They have used [these areas] for a hundred years, so why should they now be fenced off for the exclusive use of those who can afford to pay?’

not result in any changes to the recommendations, but could also provide decisionmakers and the community with a more comprehensive understanding of points raised in the submissions.’

Audit paradox

MP Humphries approved plans

While the audit concluded the methodology used for asessing submissions was ‘sound, comprehensive, thorough and reliable,’ Dr Mackenzie paradoxically describes that dividing submissions into the categories of support/neutral/object as ‘not considered reliable for statistical purposes.’ Additionally discrepancies were observed, which yielded ‘significantly different results’ and ‘potential confusion’. But most cogent was that, ‘several significant and frequently raised issues that were beyond the scope of the planning process have not been included in the analysis.’ ‘For example, issues raised concerning park governance, the inconsistency of the POMs with the regional character and the community engagement process featured prominently in the reviewed submissions but were not included in the analysis. In each case, these issues were considered by NSWCHPT to be beyond the scope of the POMs or the Trust. However, the inclusion of these issues in the issue categories should be considered. This would

Despite the audit’s findings, cost-shifting and the public calls for the return of the assets, the new minister responsible for Crown Lands, Kevin Humphries, is predictably standing by his decision. His spokesperson told The Echo that ‘there are no plans,’ to change Crown reserves management in Brunswick Heads. And while the spokesperson refused to acknowledge the audit’s claims that major issues outside the scope were ignored, they instead claimed that the ‘methodology used by the Trust was sound and the findings were comprehensive, thorough and reliable.’ They added that the Trust board made ‘41 changes in terms of public access, commercial activities and other key elements of the plans.’ Mayor Simon Richardson, councillor Di Woods and Brunswick Heads chamber of commerce president, Peter Wotten, have told The Echo they will provide comment next week. Comment was also sought from local state MP Don Page, but nothing was received by deadline. Q Editorial page 10

continued from page 1 reinstated at much less cost per km. ‘Even the new Darwin to Alice Springs railway line was completed at a much smaller (seven times less per kilometre) cost than the estimates for the Casino to Murwillumbah line. ‘People in the northern rivers have also lost out in the 2014–2015 state budget as there is nothing allocated for regional public transport at all. ‘Effective and efficient

rail services are crucial for building regional NSW and to connect a major centre like Lismore to create more employment and tourism opportunities.’ Ms Faruqi said that locals and visitors alike had signed her petition for the return of the railway.

1,300 signatures ‘In just a few months, the northern rivers community have collected more than 1,300 signatures from locals

and visitors who are demanding a return to a much-needed rail service in this area. ‘This petition highlights the lack of effective public transport for the use of residents, business people and tourists, and calls on the government to provide regular commuter train services on the railway line using diesel railcars,’ she said.

Tourism symposium first for Byron Story & photo Eve Jeffery

With a theme of ‘How we will disperse our visitors; across the week, across the year and across our shire’, the first Destination Byron Tourism Symposium was held last Thursday at Byron at Byron. With more than 100 local tourism operators and industry professionals attending, the meeting was addressed by guest speaker David Hall, CEO of Jetstar. David was very keen to engage with local stakeholders about additional flight capacity which was introduced on the Ballina-Melbourne market at the start of the month. The schedule has increased from three times a week to five, and, in total these changes deliver more than 40,000 extra seats a year in and out of Ballina.

Spruiking CEO ‘Since starting back in 2005, we’ve carried more than one million passengers through the airport and sold more than 100,000 fares for less than $50’, says Mr Hall. ‘Low fares such as these

bring new travellers into the region and help stimulate the local tourism market. While the population around the Ballina-Byron Gateway Airport is relatively small, local tourism attractions have made this one of the stronger inbound tourist markets in our Australian network.’ Mr Hall said that the increased number of seats represents a big vote of con-

fidence in all the region’s attractions and has the potential to bring substantial benefits to the local economy. ‘So far we’ve seen a good, rather than exceptional, response in the market. ‘The school holidays will provide a timely boost and we’ll hope to continue the momentum throughout the rest of the winter and into spring.’

Hosted by the Visitor Industry Association (VIA Byron), Byron Shire Council and the Ballina/Byron Gateway Airport, the symposium looked at domestic and international marketing strategies and three panel discussions were held on the subjects of business approaches, tourism around the shire’s many events and the associated transportation.

NSW dep premier threatens Bentley protesters A brief lifting of the political iron curtain has revealed what NSW deputy premier Andrew Stoner (Nationals) really thinks of those who oppose gas drilling at Bentley. ‘Mark my word we were prepared to go head to head with that protester group,’ was just one of a few comments made to Jenna Cairney, deputy editor of The Land (Fairfax) newspaper, at a recent Nationals convention. She shared the comments on social media site Twitter, with other comments reading, ‘It broke my heart that some of those professional bludgers

thought they had a win.’ The belligerent and pro-gas mining stance comes despite Mr Stoner having not travelled to meet with the farmers who may still be affected by Metgasco’s drilling attempts just outside Lismore. The Echo previously reported some of

those farmers were prepared to be arrested and had ‘locked on’ to concrete devices. And while the comments were condemned by Lock The Gate’s Michael McNamara, Mr Stoner’s office confirmed with The Echo he was quoted correctly. ‘I said words to the effect that it was a large protest which included a core of hardline protesters who

had travelled to the area but also some good local people. ‘At no stage did I suggest that all the protesters were professional bludgers.’ The ‘head to head with that protester group’ comment remains without elaboration. Mr Stoner is also on record as saying he would not want a gas operation near his property.

Local News Council runs â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;low seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tourism campaign A $130,000 marketing campaign enticing Melburnians to our shire during winter is underway now, says Byron Shire Council. The Legendary Byron Fly, Food and Art Campaign is the result of a Council-facilitated partnership between Ballina Byron Airport, Jetstar, VIA Byron and the Byron Visitor Industry. With seed funding to get the campaign off the ground, Destination NSW has then matched investment dollar for dollar. Mayor Simon Richardson says, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We know that Byronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eclectic creative credentials will resonate with this target audience and they will be impressed with the quality of our photographers, film makers, jewellery and fashion designers and our do-ityourself creative options that allow everyone to create their own piece of Byron.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Byron is so accessible for the Melbourne traveller. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a place where they can feel at home with our international

Services loss concern for homeless: MP People facing homelessness across the state could be left with services lacking the necessary experience and connections to the community, warns Jan Barham, Greens MP and spokesperson on housing. She says it could result under the NSW governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recently announced funding packages. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m alarmed by what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hearing from service providers and community organisations across NSW. Helping people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness requires the expertise and trust that can only come from close engagement with local communities. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m concerned that the need to retain community connections and experience

have been lost in the decision-making process, and that the service changes that are already beginning will leave some people without the same accessibility to specialised local supports.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The NSW governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Going Home, Staying Home funding packages were announced recently. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Since the packages were announced, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard concerns about the outcomes and the process,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Ms Barham. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;It appears that local knowledge wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t adequately utilised in the assessment of tenders, resulting in the loss of experienced specialist services. What Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hearing is anxiety about the future of homelessness services throughout regional NSW,

as well as in the city. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;In just a few days Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been presented with concerns that new services may lack muchneeded local connections, that some organisations who werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t successful with all their tender applications may not be viable, and that some service packages wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meet the needs of local communities.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Ms Barham also noted that the looming end of the National Partnership Agreement on Homelessness risked leaving homelessness services underfunded into the future. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The federal government has reduced the funding beyond July 1, 2014, and there is no ongoing agreement between the states and the Commonwealth. Without a partnership we will see a

Local News NEWS IN BRIEF Tallow Beach body identified A woman whose body was found at Tallow Beach on Monday June 9 has been identified as 20-year-old local resident Hana-Lee Juhasz. An autopsy report has confirmed Ms Juhasz did not die under suspicious circumstances. ‘It was an accident and she died peacefully, contrary to speculation,’ a family member told The Echo. Ms Juhasz grew up in Coffs Harbour and had lived in the Byron Bay area for the last decade of her life.

Grab The Rail launches plan Grab the Rail (GTR), the campaign organised by the Butler Street Community Network Inc to transform Byron Bay’s ‘derelict rail corridor and drainage infrastructure into a multi-modal transit bypass’, has launched its plan. A fullcolour A4 brochure setting out plans, cross-section and photomontage describes the GTR concept for a long-term traffic and infrastructure solution for Byron Bay ‘while demonstrating the problems

associated with the council’s high impact and unworkable schemes to date’. Grab The Rail members will be contacting residents and businesses to build wider community support and awareness for the GTR vision based on traffic modelling studies, civil engineering, urban design and town planning. Spokesperson for the campaign, architect Paul Jones, says that it is now up to the community to come together and support a visionary long-term solution to the town’s traffic challenges. GTR encourages residents and visitors alike to join them on Facebook by liking the Grab The Rail page, signing their petition on Change. org – search for Grab The Rail, and speaking with local councillors.

Migaloo 2 campaign launch Whale activist Dean Jefferys is about to sail north with the humpback whale migration for three months in his boat Migaloo 2 to help raise awareness about the plight of whales, dolphins and sharks around the world. ‘One focus of the trip will be looking at shark culling and shark nets along the coast and examin-

Thin pickings for north coast in state budget Not much of the state government’s highly publicised $60 billion infrastructure program has trickled up as far as the north coast, according to its critics. The winners in this year’s budget have been health and roads, but even there concerns have been raised. Construction works on Lismore Base Hospital’s ‘stage 3a redevelopment’ is set to continue, but the $80 million required is already budgeted for. A further $2.2 million has been set aside for improving car parking at Lismore Base Hospital, which a health department spokesperson said was ‘complementary to the wider de-

velopment at Lismore which is already underway’. Just $1.5 million has been budgeted to begin construction of the long-awaited Byron central hospital, which will be enough to cover final planning and tendering, remediation work on the site and the start of the build. ‘A lot of planning has gone into that site and we’ve obviously got the ambulance station at that new site as well,’ the spokesperson said. ‘We don’t have a time frame for completion as yet but I can say that the project is worth more than $80 million all up,’ she added. ‘With all of our hospital rebuilds, obviously we don’t allocate all of the funding in the first year. It’s a fraction of

ing the associated problems,’ Mr Jefferys said. ‘While the issue of shark culling with bait drums has been raised in WA, many people do not realise hundreds of these apex predators are senselessly killed along the Queensland coast with bait drums and shark nets. Many migrating humpback whales and dolphins are tangled and killed in these nets annually.’

Mr Jefferys will have a campaign launch on Saturday June 28 at Kulchajam, 1 Acacia St, Byron industrial estate, from 5pm. He will be showing films and there will be talks by cetacean activists. This event will be live streamed from www.migaloo2.com from 5pm onward. It is also the launch of a crowdfunding campaign.

the money to start,’ she said. North coast Greens MP Jan Barham said she was disappointed at the pace with which the Byron hospital was being funded.

‘Disappointment’ ‘Delivery of $1.5 million for a project of this size, that has been on the go for nearly 20 years, is a bit of a disappointment,’ she said. Ballina MP Don Page said further funds were available but with tendering likely in the coming year it would

be inappropriate to disclose how much. ‘If you have a look at the budget paper it identifies it as commercial in confidence. So the government likes to keep its powder dry in terms of how much money it’s going to pay, but the bottom line is the money’s in the budget,’ he told ABC radio. But his comments were later contradicted by deputy premier Andrew Stoner, who said that $1.5 million was the full amount budgeted for Byron Central Hospital this year.

Volume 29 #2

June 24, 2014

Bruns plan fallout One of the biggest ever development plans for Bruns was quietly adopted on June 2. Being quiet about this is expected considering the strong and clear public opposition, but adding to the fiasco has been appaling public relations by North Coast Holiday Parks (NCHP). It was a sloppy and rude campaign by the dubious government-run corporation; it tried to sell us the idea that major holiday parks and Crown reserve upgrades are needed but failed to convey anything of meaning through long, complex bureaucratic documents and an information session debacle. It’s something residents in Evans Head are also facing, with major upgrades planned at their holiday parks too. And like here, they are responding with a strong community voice. Crown lands are inherently designed for public, not private, use, but we have been continually insulted by NCHP manager Jim Bolger arrogantly telling the community what public lands are accessible and which are not. Should this absurdity just be ignored? And with boundaryencroachment issues also remaining, it’s clear money will be made for the state government at community cost. It’s inevitable we will see a price rise for accommodation. The key to the entire issue lies in the independent audit that examined the public submissions that Bolger collated. Author Dr John Mackenzie said, ‘Several significant and frequently raised issues that were beyond the scope of the planning process have not been included in the analysis.’ ‘For example, issues raised concerning park governance, the inconsistency of the POMs with the regional character and the community-engagement process featured prominently in the reviewed submissions but were not included in the analysis.’ His suggestion is that ‘Inclusion of these issues in the Issue Categories should be considered. This would not result in any changes to the recommendations, but could also provide decision-makers and the community with a more comprehensive understanding of points raised in the submissions.’ But for NSW Crown Lands bureaucrats to concede that point would inevitably result in more questions. The Echo asked specifically if the minister responsible would respond to that recommendation but was ignored. So bravo to the bureaucrats in the NSW Crown Lands department. The appalling trend of privatising public assets is almost complete and it’s unlikely this would have been legit without big changes to Crown Lands legislation too. Bravo! Hans Lovejoy, editor

be detrimental to the Great Barrier Reef. The UNESCO World Heritage Commission had warned of the dangers when giving the Australian government a year to act or the reef would lose its world heritage status. GetUp understandably attributed the rejections to the public campaign, which it said was now being extended to Barclay’s Bank, among others; but a dispassionate observer might consider that cold-hearted economics had something to do

– a concept apparently considered beyond the reach of his electorate – but as an attempt to combat chronic lung diseases, increasingly common in many industrialised areas. In overall terms, coal and oil are still clearly ahead of the rest, but renewables are growing more rapidly than either. Reportedly, Abbott felt constrained to reassure the American president that his resumption of oil price excise indexation was sending the same price signal to consumers as Ju-

Abbott sees the environment and the economy as fundamentally opposed, with the economy being paramount. by Mungo MacCallum with it as well. The world price of coal is now in decline – European prices are the lowest for five years and there is no expectation that the trend will be reversed. The problem is both overproduction, especially from Australia, and lower demand: almost all coal-consuming countries are now trying to cut down on their reliance on the fuel. In China, Australia’s most important market, coal now accounts for 67.5 per cent of all its energy needs – the lowest figure on record. True, China’s imports of coal are still increasing – last year at a healthy (from Abbott’s point of view) 4.7 per cent, but this figure is only half what it was a few years ago. In China, the pollution problem has now become a serious public health issue, and the country is not alone. In America, Barack Obama is selling his own crackdown on dirty industries not as an attempt to combat climate change

lia Gillard’s carbon tax. Obama’s response to this preposterous assertion was not recorded. And at home, of course, even as some of the planned coal expansions, especially in Queensland’s giant Galilee Basin – the ostensible reason for ports such as Abbot Point – are being put on hold, Abbott remains determined to get rid of the Clean Energy Finance Corporation. The old senate knocked him back twice; now he is counting on the new senate, or more specifically Clive Palmer, to wave it through next month. And why not? After all, his sensitive Treasurer, Joe Hockey, has already pronounced wind farms utterly offensive, a blight on the landscape, obviously preferring the aesthetically pleasing view of a few coalfields. Abbott claims to be in tune with the thinking of his new soulmate, Canadian prime minister Stephen Harper, but there is a significant difference. Harper is determined to de-

velop the vast oil sands fields of Alberta, possibly the only fuel source to rival coal as a pollutant; but it could be argued that in his vast, frozen, northern domain with few resources other than rocks and trees and water, he has no real alternative. But in Australia the slavish addiction to fossil fuels is not only shortsighted but positively perverse: no country is better placed to exploit wind and solar power. Yet the intention is apparently to ignore them, if not phase them out altogether. Abbott still (or rather, for the last couple of years) claims to believe in manmade climate change and to want to do something about it – as long, of course, as it does not affect the economy in any way at all, and that means the coal industry in particular. He will politely ask the big polluters if there is anything at all they can do to clean up their act, and if they manage to do so, he will reward them. If they don’t, or just tell him to piss off, well, that’s their right. But not all his troops are quite so gung-ho. Last week the environment minister, Greg Hunt, deferred approval for the giant Galilee Basin Carmichael Mine, owned by the Adani Corporation, the people behind Abbot Point. It’s only a deferral, and with unrelenting pressure from Abbott and from Queensland’s single-minded premier Campbell Newman, Hunt will probably end up signing on the dotted line. But the longer it drags on, the more likely it is that not just public pressure but more importantly economic reality will catch up with the project, and many others like it. Our ambassador for coal may suddenly find himself representing not just a fossil, but one of value only to collectors of memorabilia. Not much to yee ha about in that.

“I never want to have to cross the street to avoid you.”

Established 1986 General Manager Simon Haslam Editor Hans Lovejoy Photographer Jeff Dawson Advertising Manager Angela Cornell Production Manager Ziggi Browning

ast week the worldrenowned American environmentalist, Bill McKibben, declared that our prime minister now apparently saw his principal role in international affairs as the global ambassador of coal, his only real concern being to protect Australia’s own coal industry. The immediate cause of McKibben’s description was the television image of Tony Abbott being presented with an over-sized Stetson hat by some of America’s biggest oil barons, to which our man responded with a somewhat embarrassed: ‘Yee ha’. Now McKibben is himself a global ambassador against coal, which he regards as the dirtiest and most polluting of all fuels, and the greatest driver of climate change: he is hardly an impartial observer. But he has a point. In Texas Abbott spruiked the need to prevent the ostracising of any particular fuel source and earlier in Canada he had warned that we should not clobber the economy in order to reduce emissions and combat climate change. So it is clear that he sees the environment and the economy as fundamentally opposed, with the economy being paramount. The idea that both can be developed in harmony is dismissed as wishful thinking, a fanciful Utopia. This approach is totally consistent with Abbott’s goodies-versus-baddies view of the world, but it is increasingly being left behind by his more sophisticated global peers, and not just the political ones. Last week the GetUp organisation announced triumphantly that four major financial institutions – Deutsche Bank, HSBC, Credit Agricole and now the Bank of Scotland – had withdrawn their financial support from the Abbot Point coal loader, whose construction may

Respectful ways with holiday guests I own a couple of private holiday properties in Byron and have found the following answers to the potential angst of my fellow neighbours: 1. I have provided all of my neighbours with my contact details and told them that they can call me 24/7 if they have a problem. 2. I make it very clear to my guests that my properties are not party houses and that if I get noise complaints I will be asking them to leave. 3. I charge reasonable prices so that the guests do not feel ripped off and therefore are more likely to respect my properties and neighbours. 4. I self-manage my properties so that I know exactly who is coming into my places. 5. I do not try to over-

crowd my properties to maximise my return and in actual fact prefer a couple or small family. 6. I respect and appreciate that we can all work together to make sure everyone is cared about. Over the past 20-odd years I have come to the conclusion that there are two sides to every story. I have had guests demand their money back because of drunken, unruly behaviour from next door neighbours who are in actual fact fulltime tenants who continually have very loud, drunken and verbally disgusting parties and when I approach the real estate agent handling the property I get fobbed off. When you have real estate agents managing

properties for non-residential owners there is a lack of a face-to-face opportunity to solve the problem as real estate agents have hundreds of properties and they just do not have the resources, staff or inclination to care about each and every one of us. There are many things that can be done to ensure that we all can live in harmony. Many of my guests want to stay in a home while holidaying in Byron; they do not want to herded into holiday resorts or motels. It all comes down to being fair in life and as with all things in life you will always find fair and unfair. A kneejerk response to any problem is not the solution. Tourism is a very big part of our economy and life-

Last Tuesday evening I was driving home from work and came across three dead possums just in Mullum. They were hit in a 50kmh school zone and an 80 zone, and left on the road to be splattered by further traffic. It was disturbing to see that the drivers couldn’t even stop to remove their bodies. Please drive with care during this highly active season for possums and echidnas. And if you hit an animal give it the same respect you would give a human: check whether it is alive, has a baby in its pouch, and remove its body from the road. R Ingram Wilsons Creek

West Byron plans This is an open letter to our local developers of the proposed West Byron development. 1. Please declare who you are. As Byron Shire residents we have a right to know. At present we are dealing with a hired Queensland public relations personnel (Mr Murray). 2. We now have a newcomer, Terry Agnew, who has purchased a substantial share of land. From a recent public statement (The Australian, June 5) it is evident he is not developing the land with affordable housing for our community. In fact the cheapest block is $595,000 for a 450sqm block, up to 600sqm blocks at $750,000 to $800,000. Can the local developers still confirm that West Byron will have affordable housing included in the overall plan or will our local developers sell out to the highest bid? 3. Is one of the local devel-

Q Having

attended the recent meeting of the Byron Residents’ Assoc (BRA) it is with some regret that one has to now accept this rezoning in one form or another will occur. Having sat on all three state government planning meetings for West Byron and addressing the RBA meeting, it is now quite clear to me, after the last portion of the land recently sold to one of Sydney’s major developers, that some know a lot more in Macquarie Street than we as a community do up here in Byron Bay. Looking and moving into the future there are three issues that will need to be formally addressed that will give the community some answers, and from investigations Mr Agnew will be addressing these concerns as he is described as understanding the situation. Firstly, where is the road network going and who is paying for it, designing it and building the major and immediate Byron bypasses to facilitate the extra population and traffic needs rather than doing another study? Secondly, the sewerage system we have has now been advised as nearing capacity continued on page 13

style and offers many of us the opportunity to live and work in this amazing place. If you live next to a holiday home, find out who owns it and approach them directly to let them know how you feel. Many owners are just not aware of how much disharmony their guests are causing because they use real estate agents and live outside the region. And the most important thing is to be fair. I would prefer to have holiday guests staying next door to me than permanent residents who believe it is their god-given right to party five nights a week with music blaring. At least the noisy holiday guests leave. Lois Vickery-Hall Byron Bay

The trials of trails and tracks Q Based on Louise Doran’s letter (Echo, June 17) I must believe in the tooth fairy but I suspect I am not the only one. It would be similar to believing it is cheaper to rebuild the railway compared to building a rail trail or using a statistic like living within 5km of the railway line means you are close enough to a railway station to make it viable. One of the major ‘dubious benefits’ of the rail trail is school children being able to ride safely to school. Many of the schools in our region lie within 100 metres of the rail corridor, including Lismore South Public, Casino and Richmond River high schools. This provides a safer environment for children to ride to school or just to have fun on their bikes. Flow-on benefits would include increased fitness in our children and fewer cars on the road at peak times. The issue I think we would all agree on is that the government has done nothing for public transport in the region. After deciding the train was not a viable option there was no plan B. They should be investigating greener bus

options such as solar-powered buses being used in South Australia. PS: I do not ride a bicycle. Greg Byrnes Lennox Head Q I am excited about the prospect of a rail trail becoming a reality. I’m 64, retired and love to keep fit by cycling, but I’ve had some scary close shaves on local roads. My grandkids could ride with me in safety on the rail trail. What an adventure it would be to cycle to, say, Eltham and stay overnight in the pub. I believe it would have great appeal to tourists also, and give the small villages it passes through a real boost. Max Conley Suffolk Park Q Congratulations

to Northern Rivers Rail Trail for what appears to be a very positive reception from state government with the announcement of their successful feasibility study and funding promises. With the North Byron Resort rail shuttle steaming ahead and their eagerness to work with the rail trail, there appear to be win-win outcomes for sensible and visionary proposals for our derelict rail infrastructure. Grab the Rail, the Butler Street Community Network Inc proposal to transform the rail corridor within the town limits to a multi-modal transit way, now looks so much closer to finally gaining acceptance. Grab the Rail’s bypass and town service road is designed to fully accommodate rail shuttle, rail trail, transit centre and any future light-rail scenario in a comprehensive urban and landscape-designed master plan. We look forward to working with rail trail and rail shuttle to envisage and facilitate a great outcome for Byron. Paul Jones Public Officer Butler Street Community Network Inc

Q Public

transport and rail supporters have always doubted the rhetoric of the rail trail lobby. Empty words, when it comes to co-existing on the rail line, protecting the rail corridor for future generations. The reality is their intention to pull off the tracks, sell part of the land, and have a cycling path for a few at the expense of the many. The rail as a backbone for the region for tourism, the

environment, and the local people will be lost forever once the tracks are gone. The government has done its job in creating a false impression about the viability of the two systems, treating both concepts in opposite biased ways. People with common sense must protest against a rail trail without a commuter train service. Jens Krause Byron Bay Q Well

done, Byron Shire Council, for finally rising up to the commonsense reality that our neighbouring shires have known for so long: that the rail corridor is worth protecting from any future sell-off. The rail trail concept was always the only viable option to gain any funding to not only keep the corridor in public hands but to even promptly pay for the trail construction in five or so years. Let us hope for federal and state funding to ensure this vital corridor lives again. Who knows, our grandkids may one day ride a solarpowered lightweight levitation train, built alongside the trail. But that’s yet another generation’s dream. Or is it? One thing seems certain: that our corridor will grow into an ever-important linking of our communities. Tim Shanasy Byron Bay

Louise Doran is right. The rail trail concept is very Byron-centric and does not address the local need for public transport. A light rail system operating on the line from Casino to Murwillumbah, or, at the very least, from Mullumbimby to Byron and Bangalow, would relieve the roads of much local congestion. A bigger version of park and ride, if you like. We have waited ten years for a sensible decision to be made. Tourists would love it and it could bring visitors into Byron’s other attractions. As this expense is lower than the recent rail trail idea, it makes a lot of sense. Sarah Smith Mullumbimby

but probably beginning with Bangalow and Mullumbimby via Byron Bay. This is not just an idea cooked up by a few crazy lycra-clad cyclists. It is a serious project which will generate great prosperity in this region. It will be utilised by a wide cross-section of locals and tourists and revitalise many small villages on the route. Cycleways have been hugely successful in many parts of the world and other states of Australia, especially Victoria. A light commuter rail in this region is a total fantasy. It works well on straight lines in heavily populated urban areas. To suggest that trains running slowly on this meandering line will provide an efficient commuter service is preposterous. Neil McKenzie Bangalow Q There’s

a track winding back through Byron and beyond between Casino and Murwillumbah. This overgrown long paddock snakes its forgotten way through the heart and extremities of the Byron shire. It used to be a railway track and now some people want to turn it into a trail for walking and cycling. Is that a good idea or not? After all, it is a lot of land and could be sold for development, with profits going into research exploring benefits of exercise, more in keeping with government policy. After all, what would an old GP know about health? Some enterprising souls might even think about establishing refreshment kiosks in the old stations that could become a magnet for all those tourists to discover the hidden beauties. A popular fear exists that once people start walking in the country, then the trains may never come back to this trail of ghosts. So, we could leave it just as is and then noone will have to do anything. David Miller Brunswick Heads Q Several other letters

received on this topic – Ed

Q When will TOOT and supporters of light rail on the Casino–Murwillumbah corridor accept that the debate is over: the only hope of saving the corridor is through the construction of a rail/ walk trail eventually linking Casino and Murwillumbah

Please find me a credible Green Holiday letting causes a lot of problems locally and is clearly illegal. Instead of trying to stop the practice or force the state government to act, the Greens councillors are bending over backwards to find a way to make it legal, oblivious to the fact that a form of their current precinct ruminations was decisively knocked back by the state government years ago. They are wasting a lot of ratepayers’ resources on trying to appear as though they are doing something, when all their efforts are doomed to failure. Then there’s the question of so-called ‘street-camping’. The Greens know perfectly well that sleeping in your car is not illegal, having obtained

clear legal advice to that effect, yet not only have they lobbied the state government to change the law but they routinely bullshit visitors with ‘targetting street-campers’ electronic signs. Jan Barham, to her eternal shame, once actually came out and said what the local burghers think: these people don’t spend any money here. Well in 1967 I came to Byron on a road trip from Melbourne with my girlfriend, sleeping in a car on the way to save money. We had a right to be on any Australian public road at the time, not necessarily in a state of consciousness, and that right remains. I don’t know where the local bour-

geoisie get the idea from that they own all the public space in the shire and are entitled to exact tribute from those who enter. Nor do I understand the morality behind those warning signs that constitute a willful and knowing lie. If that is not sufficient to demonstrate that the Greens are the unthinking captives of the local privileged class consider Cr Dey’s naive motion last council meeting opposing the granting of a takeaway liquor licence to Aldi. Expressly acting on the prompting of local Liquor Accord members (otherwise known as the Booze Barons’ Cartel), Cr Dey came out arguing that Aldi would lower

the cost of getting drunk – and therefore contribute (in some unspecified way) to alcohol violence. What about those who merely want to more cheaply have a tipple, a celebratory drink, a toast, a nightcap? Aldi closes at 6.30pm; its stocklist is mainly of unfashionable brands that aren’t promoted in any way, and at the Lismore branch of Aldi every customer I’ve seen while buying booze there is over 40 and is clearly poor. It’s just as well there is the odd credible Greens representing in Sydney, Melbourne and Tasmania, isn’t it. I despair of the locals. Fast Buck$ Coorabell

However gainsaid, these private interests did not seek community support prior to their investment. Regarding the deficient representation by the Byron Residents’ Group cited by Paul Waters, those who do not voice concern do not therefore signal their approval, and if Mr Waters can obtain 1000+ signatures of support, with their comment, then that would be a start for his cause.

watching, and community gardens. Enormous plumes of methane are accumulating in the northern hemisphere and feeding heat increasingly into the arctic methane clathrate deposits. These sublimating deposits contain carbon equivalent to thirty times that which humanity has released since the start of the Industrial Revolution. This implies that in one or more decades we are facing a global heat pulse estimated between five and sixteen degrees, resulting in the complete collapse of the human food chain and habitat. This is your impending death by starvation and is the real issue that every mind in our region should be focused on. Those supporting the coal industry and sabotaging renewable energy and tak-

Last week’s Backlash referred to a drug-like disorientation from mobile phone use. Yes, there is more to this than meets the ear. Scientific studies demonstrate altered brainwave patterns that last for hours afterward, as well as stimulated opioid production that equates to a mild dose of Valium. In other words, mobile phones induce a light, and addictive, trance state. This, and not simple ‘distraction’, is the real reason they are outlawed during driving. continued on page 14

Treaty time This coalition kicked the hornet’s nest when they offended the Islamic world by unilaterally dropping the word ‘occupied’ from ‘Occupied East Jerusalem’. When threatened with trade boycotts they settled on ‘disputed East Jerusalem’. But it reminded me that Israel and Australia are both occupied lands. Stripping away notions of ‘European exceptionalism’, I looked at what is really happening in this country. Cook took possession of Australia by renaming landmarks along eastern Australia after British people and places. As he sailed away, almost as an

afterthought, he stuck a flag in Betanug Island off north Queensland and renamed it Possession Island, claiming the entire continent of New Holland, a landmass bigger than western Europe, in the name of mad King George III. It was a wild ambit claim. Not only were first nations people never consulted; there was no formal declaration of war, no defeated or vanquished people, no reparations and no treaty. It could be argued there was no truly legitimate land claim – just a whole lot of colonial assumptions that would never stand up in the International Court of Justice today. We need a treaty to acknowledge past and present injustice and define the terms of truly shared sovereignty. But do the occupiers have the right to draw up and write the terms of a treaty? This continent includes hundreds of sovereign nations which cannot legitimately be covered by a single treaty. Each region and language group should have the right to define the terms of their own treaty. Perhaps the Bundjalung Nation might consider offering a treaty to those who have occupied and come to dominate so much of their sovereign land. Until a treaty

Abbott’s task Prime minister Abbott should prove his claim that he’s a conservationist by encouraging people to eat vegan foods rather than meat, eggs, and dairy products. This will help reduce carbon emissions, conserve resources and convince President Obama and the rest of the world that Australia is serious about climate change. About two thirds of agricultural emissions come from cattle and sheep. Scientists with Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden recently calculated ways to combat climate change and concluded that reducing meat and dairy consumption is the key to reducing greenhouse gases. Let’s look no further than our own supermarkets to figure out how we can help reduce greenhouse-gas emissions, as well as our healthcare costs and the suffering of hundreds of millions of animals: choose mock meats and other tasty plant-based foods.

Byron Bay Writers Festival

www.byronbaywritersfestival.com

An exploration of grief and healing Review by Joanne Shoebridge, Morning presenter on ABC North Coast

hen a single, random act changes Anikka Lachlan’s life forever, she buries herself in books. When a war poet returns home without meaning and a doctor struggles to shoulder the burden of lives he couldn’t save, it takes time, the solace of nature and rekindled connections to mend. Ashley Hay’s The Railwayman’s Wife is a tender inquiry into love, loss and sensitivities set in an era and a place few Australian authors have dared to venture. The south coast, post-war, is a dream-like place of modest workers’ cottages, picket fences and well-intentioned people. The tiny coastal village of Thirroul in 1948 leaps from the pages, as fresh as a winter southerly. It hugs the coastal fringe towered over by monumental mountains and a capricious Tasman Sea, which is at once a metaphor for grief, with its immense capacity to crush, and healing, sashaying into shore and ebbing through each chapter as three characters navigate a life after loss. Hay writes with the authority of one who

spent her childhood tramping the same coastal walks, imagining its industrial past, unwrapping salty battered fish from the same corner shop as her characters. The point-of-view is mostly Ani Lachlan’s, but the perspective deftly switches to Roy McKinnon, the writer too shell-shocked to pen the

horror of war in words, and Dr Frank Draper, who struggles to leave the ghosts of the dead on the battlefield. Far from being a distraction, it’s a device that allows the reader to see the characters as others see them, to appreciate the desire of others to help in an era when discretion and privacy are respected. It allows

the reader to view the hidden filigree connecting the characters to each other. The Railwayman’s Wife is far from maudlin. Hope shimmers though its pages, as the three central figures come to terms with their changed lives. Ani’s deep and requited love for her husband is unveiled in time-shifted recollections that slip into the pages easily. The war poet finds a muse and words start to form on a page at his hand once again. In trademark fashion, Hay’s fifth novel is meticulously researched and sprinkled with interesting historical and literary detail. I briefly questioned whether the voices of the characters were true to the era, whether the lexicon was more different or less, before realising I’ve read so little from or about that period in Australian history that I was in no position to decide. The novel isn’t propelled by action and drama, but the story is nonetheless engrossing. The Railwayman’s Wife is a satisfying, provoking read. Ashley Hay has woven a profoundly moving exploration of grief and healing, inhabited by characters who’ll linger in your thoughts like a long-gone relative you wish you’d known.

Andy goes crazy again Review by Azura Crawford, Yr 6, Byron Bay Public School

o you bounce so high on your bed that your head hits the ceiling? Do you ever look in the mirror and see a crazy maniac staring back at you? In his simply insane book, Andy Griffifths writes ten very crazy stories that occur in the fictional life of his twelve-yearold self. Throughout the mishaps and mayhem of indestructible band-aids, lucid dreaming, uncontrollable cousins and pulverising mashing machines were some rather interesting stories. Although Just Crazy! was aimed at an audience of good-humoured, avid readers, I still found enjoyment in the pure insanity of the whole concept. Because of the fact that the writer based the character on himself, I saw the more humorous side of things that I normally wouldn’t, and it had a huge effect on my outlook. The constant use of immature humour was something I didn’t like; however considering Just Crazy! is a book that advanced readers wouldn’t find to have a

challenging enough plot, I can imagine reading it to my younger cousins and having them enjoy it thoroughly. For a reader, being able to relate to the characters or situations is an important element in being able to enjoy a book. Many of the stories in Just Crazy! are easy to relate to for younger children. For instance, we’ve all had that moment where that crazy idea has come to our minds, but we usually don’t follow through on it. That’s where the magic of Andy Griffifths’ writing begins. He takes those silly moments into the realm of the fantastical by asking What If? I loved Just Crazy! and would recommend it to any child up for a laugh.

TV’s Maddie and Possum host a day of children’s literature Popular television personalities Maddie and Possum of Prime7’s Possum’s Club, will host the Byron Bay Writers Festival Kids Big Day Out on Sunday August 3. The exceptional lineup this year, designed to capture the imagination of children aged between six and twelve, includes Andy Griffiths, Mem Fox, Asphyxia, Nick Earls and Sally Rippin with local favourites Jesse Blackadder and Tristan Bancks. Children’s author and festival board member Jesse Blackadder says Kids Big Day Out is a unique opportunity for young readers to see their favourite authors in person. ‘With much-loved writers such as Andy Griffiths, Sally Rippin and Mem Fox taking to the stage, kids have a chance to see the “rock stars” of children’s writing in the flesh, as well as discovering newer writers. ‘Kids Big Day Out is a popular format – each author talks directly to the audience for 30 minutes and you always hear howls of laughter

‘Byron Bay Writers Festival is a huge highlight for any writer. I love the energy and enthusiasm of the audience, interacting with readers and brainstorming new story ideas. ‘Last year, they turned on me with a bucket of slime. This year, I have something devilishly disgusting up my sleeve.’ Festival director Edwina

Johnson believes she has also introduced a festival first with the inclusion of puppeteer and author of the popular Grimstones series, Asphyxia. ‘The whole family will be mesmerised as Asphyxia unfolds her magical world of marionettes.’ ‘I have a great passion for children’s literacy,’ says Johnson. ‘It’s so important to encourage a child’s

enthusiasm for books and to build a life-long love of reading.’ Kids Big Day Out is being held on Sunday 3 August and children (who must be accompanied by an adult at all times) can attend with a special discounted Youth Pass.

So far it’s paid off – it feels really rewarding that the ‘I have just made a new album,’ said Kavisha, a singer/ songwriter with Asian, Burmese, Scottish and Italian heritage. ‘For the last 30 years I have been exploring Italian folk music. I have a new album – Returnella (or Little Swallow) – it is just so exquisite – all Italian songs of love and betrayal from the 14th century until now.

aesthetic I envisaged for it is working. People are suffering from over-stimulation all the time and they want that sense of intimacy and gentleness, and the beauty of the songs is just gorgeous.’

We all long for love and we all experience betrayal. They are archetypal songs and from all different regions of Italy, and I present them as well as telling their stories.’

‘I have been interested in mediation for a long time. I did my first Vipassana at 17 and I have done quite a bit of chanting in my time. The thing for me as a performer is that I love it when people join in and

sing; there is a lot of audience participation in my show. Empty Sky grew out of my noticing that in certain songs when you finish the last note there is this silence and we have a convention to break it with applause. I thought, what happens if we kept this dedicated space where music and silence meet? I love how music opens your heart and when your heart is open you don’t want to say anything. What I wanted to do was to bring chanting, meditation and Vipassana together – that’s why I call it the Empty Sky – it’s just simple songs and chants, some of the traditional ones and some of the mystical Sufi and Zen poets as well – and I brought together little songs that have been created around their lyrics and then stuff I have composed as well. Basically it’s exploring the sacred and mystical realm through song and the inspiration that takes us into our heart.’ Kavisha presents her first concert on Friday at 7pm for $20 at the Drill Hall in Mullumbimby and then on Saturday at 7.30pm she presents Empty Sky for $15 at the same venue. On Friday night she will be supported by young guitar virtuoso, Tullara Connors, who’s made a name for herself as one half of the sister duo act, Siskin River. This is her first solo show in northern NSW.

A hippy at a peace gathering has called me a pig. A woman emailed me and told me I was disappointing. Another woman rang me personally to tell me I was fat and needed to walk more. Another one messaged me recently on Facebook that I was a stupid slut who should keep my legs closed. (I’ve since blocked Mum on Facebook.) It’s funny how you become immune to the abuse. In fact, you almost start to enjoying it. I know now the more I upset some people the more I’ve entertained the others. As for fear of dying, I don’t really have it anymore. I have in its place a fear of living. And that, my friends, is an endless source of material. (BTW: I have a comedy class at Byron College starting next term. If you want to conquer death then come and join me on the dark side!) Mandy's new book Boyfriends We've All Had and Shouldn't Have is available at Mary Ryan's in Byron and the Book Warehouse in Lismore.

The Lismore Jazz Club presents a great arvo of jazz at the Lismore City Bowling Club this Sunday from midday, featuring the Northern Rivers Youth Jazz Ensemble and the Jenni Cocking Sextet. Admission is $10 for members and students and $15 for non-members. School students are free.

this comedy thing a go. For the next few years it was amazing how little I noticed the silence every time I hit the stage. I just pushed on, oblivious to the discomfort or lack of interest of my audience.

Floyd Vincent’s musical style has been variously described as world music, rock, latin, pop and even jazz by critics and reviewers over the years. There is no doubt that the influence of world music was strong back in the late eighties and early nineties when he and his band got started. Paul Simons’ Gracelands, Sting’s Dream FLOYD VINCENT AND THE of the Blue Turtles and acts TEMPLE DOGS AT THE BEACH HOTEL ON SUNDAY such as The Gypsy Kings had pushed world music, latin and jazz grooves into the mainstream. Floyd and his band’s interest in these styles and their love of high-energy uplifting music has seen them become a staple of the Australian live music scene. This year Floyd has been performing solo quite a bit as well as with the band. Sunday at the Beach Hotel in Byron from 4pm. Free.

MR CASSIDY OFFERS UP REDEMPTION

DANNIE CARR (FORMERLY SWEET PAINTED LADIES) AND EMILIE OWEN (FORMERLY LUXEDO) ARE THE WIVES OF ROCKSTARS (ASH GRUNWALD AND THE LIVING END’S SCOTT OWEN RESPECTIVELY). But these women are setting out to prove that these men are in fact the husbands of rockstars with the release of their new EP Redemption at the Court House in Mullumbimby this Sunday.

MR CASSIDY ARE LAUNCHING THEIR LATEST EP AT THE COURT HOUSE IN MULLUMBIMBY ON SUNDAY 29 JUNE AND TO CELEBRATE THEY ARE GIVING LUCKY READERS OF THE ECHO DOUBLE PASSES AND EPS! SPECIAL GUEST ON THE DAY IS SUZZANAH ESPIE. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO RECEIVE THIS GIVEAWAY AND A FREE SUBSCRIPTION TO ECHONETDAILY, EMAIL YOUR NAME, PHONE NUMBER AND POSTCODE TO GIGSCOMP@ ECHO.NET.AU WITH SUBJECT HEADER ‘MR CASSIDY COMP’.

Danni, how hard is it to manage musicmaking in a family with so many similarly competing interests? It gets a little tricky but it’s part of the fun; dragging the kids out on tour is kind of cool. In saying that though, Em and I do dream of touring with no kids… Ahem, no offence, kids. Before you and Emilie started playing together, why had you two dropped out from the music scene? Had you thought that that part of your life was done… or did you always know you’d find a way back?

I guess I was waiting for something to happen or to spark the love of playing again. Hooking up with Emilie gave us both confidence to start playing again and to start doing shows. When you are a musical person is there some resentment when you watch your musical partner or husband go and play a gig when you are not playing yourself? In asking that, does being back in the industry help manage those feelings? Ha… I just posted on Facebook that Ash is playing in Nashville today – career envy much! But no, I see how hard Ash works and Em, also being a ‘rock widow’, I don’t think either of us strive to go quite so hard as our lads. I wouldn’t mind playing in front of the huge crowds but we are also content just doing what we do. What are the stories that you like to tell in your songwriting? I pretty much like to draw on personal experiences and all the ups and downs that life has to offer. This EP was very much a reflection on my own personal experiences. Tell me about your upcoming EP. What is the inspiration for the way you’ve decided to produce? Who produced?

What is the most rewarding part of your creative liaison? I love playing with Em. She’s a brilliant musician and we are pretty much on the same page musically. We have forged a wonderful friendship from this band and that’s reward enough for me. Tell me what to expect for your launch at the Court House on Sunday (with Suzannah Espie). Expect a fun day!

PERKIN’ UP

Treat yourself to the music of Tex Perkins and Charlie Owen at the Ballina RSL this Friday. Tex is undeniably a musician who has mixed it up, from pub rock and alt country to damaged blues, Perkins has always broken convention and pioneered his own unique sound. His strength is his musical partnerships and the many incarnations of Perko; the Perko who appears with Owen is something to behold. If you like awesome songwriting, intelligent lyrics and witty banter then this is the gig for you. If you prefer something more banal and middle of the road, I guess you should go somewhere else!

The Northern Rivers Conservatorium presents internationally acclaimed flautist Jane Rutter in a musical tour de force, French Kiss. Jane Rutter is renowned for her sensitive and expressive musicianship and in French Kiss she demonstrates her artistry, performing works from the French Baroque to the sobbing heart of the French Romantique era, from the passionate world of Paris salons to the joy of la Belle Epoque. Lismore City Hall on Thursday at 7.30pm. For bookings go to NORPA 1300 066 772.

He has played music professionally now for over 40 years… blues bands, rock bands, funk bands, folk rock bands, jazz bands and has now come full circle back to his roots: country/ blues/roots/old-timey acoustic music. He has toured and played festivals all over Australia and Europe (including Byron Bluesfest several times).

My mission is to really touch people through the vibration of music. A soundscape is lush, calming vocals with smooth strings or other ambient instrumentation. The purpose is to take people out of themselves, to quieten the mind and to take them to a place of deep peace. A lot of the time my music is spontaneous and composed in the moment.

JO JO RETURNS FOR LAUNCH

How did you make the journey from soprano and jazz to more devotional style singing?

with ideas to order, sitting in front of a blank piece of paper; it was stressful. Now the creative process is a totally joy.

I guess I’ve always been in the devotional realm, but didn’t realise it. I started tapping into it about 13 years ago when I first went to India, I then gave up my job in advertising and then went to do a music degree. I studied classical and jazz singing and piano and immersed myself in music theory and technique. I moved to Sydney and went to follow a jazz career, but the spiritual side of my life picked up momentum and I found myself in India again and going back to the devotional roots. I worked with producer and pop singer Rick Price. He pointed out that in devotional music I would be able to use both the classical, pop and jazz training and merge everything together. It’s exciting creating my own unique sound and I’m really glad I have the musical training, because it certainly makes the process so much easier and I have a richer palette of colours to choose from.

How intrinsic is dancing and movement to your music? My vision has been to create music for the conscious dance movement and I had been trying to access dance beats and create this sound for a long time. I’m so happy how it has now emerged and I’m really enjoying working with Simon Holloway on the dance tracks. I want the experience of the music to be total for the audience, so they can feel the vibration of the sound in their whole body and be moved by the beat and the bass frequencies. So often we miss out on the chance to move our bodies. I’ve had experiences recently at a conscious dance session and have just been in tears as tensions and emotions were released from the body, simply through moving. If you could describe your perfect gig, what would it look like?

What is the process of song creation for you?

My perfect gig would be very much like the upcoming Kulchajam gig. Taking Now, I find the process is magical. I simply people on a complete journey, from meditate and then sit at the keyboard; I ambient meditative music, right up into a wait for the chords to come and then for celebratory dance space. I love to create the melody to appear. Recently this has an amazing space for people, so they been pretty instant; it feels effortless. are uplifted in all their senses, beautiful The melody usually comes as sounds and lighting, candles and decoration, delicious then I record the chords and idea on my oils and incense. When people enter the iPhone and then play it over and over performance space, I want them to feel again, so the lyrics form, as well as other like they have come into a different world musical ideas. and they can leave their outside world I’m loving it. I used to work in advertising behind. The perfect gig would be when writing TV and radio commercials and my audience and performer become one and we all share the journey together. whole day was spent trying to come up

E ARIES: If this week’s people seem grumpy or gloomy, consider the late great Aries Maya Angelou’s advice about being a rainbow in someone else’s cloud. Though not so brightly coloured the cloudy ones feel even greyer. Which, yes, requires the walking-on-eggs-in-stilettos approach. F TAURUS: Venus flitting into out-and-about Gemini fires your enthusiasm to socialise, circulate, network, make the effort to accept invitations, go to openings, meet new people, follow up promising connections and access a broader information base that opens some formerly closed doors. G GEMINI: Venus sashaying into Gemini gives you a significant hike up the popularity ladder. But tricky retro Mercury makes credit-spending restraint mandatory this week. And if a personal complication knocks you off kilter, take major decision making slow and easy – even postpone if you can till next month. H CANCER: With this week’s sun and new moon announcing your power month, promise not to let family anxieties ruin your birthday mood. The present retrogrades combined with Friday’s Cancer new moon are the perfect recipe for reassessment, hibernation and reflection before the seasonal return to the light begins.

This week’s sun into family-oriented Cancer and Venus into congenial Gemini suggest entertaining at home, though Mercury retrograde might squabble about whose home. Then get the date wrong…

Mungo’s Crossword 1

I LEO: There’s plenty of circulating uncertainty and competitive conflict this week. But if anything’s going to get people on side it isn’t your opinions. It’s your example. Demonstrate Leo’s natural leadership skills by staying positive, optimistic, and patient with irritating situations and others will willingly follow your lead. J VIRGO: Your inner idealist fighting your inner sceptic might make this week’s relationship evaluations feel like hard slog. While Mercury’s presently unreliable, tricky and inconsistent, a great money-saving project involving recycling, revamping or turning something old into something new could still be surprisingly satisfying. K LIBRA: Your ruling planet Venus in the sign of mental calisthenics could have you both enthralled and disappointed with something this week. With conditions changing rapidly you need to establish what has integrity and what doesn’t. Bottom line? Some things are non-negotiable. Decide what they are. L SCORPIO: If this week’s disruptions, distractions, and disagreements have you feeling disgruntled, discouraged, depressed or singing the moody retrograde blues, remember retro means past – which is where hurtful memories come from. And belong. Move forward beyond painful thought processes through whatever method you choose..

M SAGITTARIUS: Getting rattled will only add extra tension to this week’s already stretched tempers and fraught themes, so choose your words carefully to short-circuit bickering. Handle other people’s erratic shenanigans with your signature brand of creative ingenuity and Archerian humour. Right now frustrating situations can’t be pushed or forced. N CAPRICORN: An auspicious week to plan domestic adjustments, repairs or renos. And not arc up if others are forgetful. With retro Mercury’s erratic static you may be too, so set up a reminder system for confirming arrangements. If repetitive health issues resurface, don’t ignore them. O AQUARIUS: Mercury retrograde places this week’s astral emphasis on base-camp responsibilities and obligations to relatives and friends. If you’ve neglected anyone or anything, now’s the time to make it right. Letting others know, or better still showing them how much they’re appreciated, can help offset upsets. P P ISCES: As warmth and closeness with colleagues and social connections grow, still be savvy enough to question manipulative friendships. Are they really worth it? Rose-coloured glasses aren’t your best accessory during Mercury and Neptune retrograde. Reality checks, second opinions and discussions with others offer sounder grounding.

Environmental activist Dean Jeffries is having a campaign launch for Migaloo 2 at Kulchajam in Byron this Saturday. Dean says: ‘I will be showing some short films I’ve shot on Migaloo 2 with the whales over the last years as well as a short inspiring film I shot at Bentley called The Bentley Blockade, People Power at its Best. Other Every now and then you get sent an email that reminds you of shorts include recent activities of Sea Shepherd in the Antarctic, how, as they say, ‘by the grace of god go I’. I got one the other Sharks, and a promo clip of my new film The Whale Whisperers day from a bloke about to have his first art exhibition. Hamish and more…’ Talks by Dean Jefferys, skipper of Migaloo 2, Howie Graham told me the story in a few sentences of how in 2005 he Cooke from Surfers For Cetaceans, Nicole McLachlan, Stop Shark suffered a spinal cord injury and became a quadriplegic with Cull QLD, Friends of India, Giving it Back, and a representative chronic pain issues, all from a mishap playing backyard cricket from No CSG. Darpan will bring in some celestial tunes. It will with his seven-year-old son. Clearly Hamish has been to some be a victory celebration for everything we have achieved for very hard and dark places, but in a true triumph of the human future generations and other species. This is also the launch spirit Hamish weaned himself off pain medications, cleared of the crowdfunding campaign for Dean’s new film The Whale his mind and started following his artistic bent by using his Whisperers – see http://pozi.be/thewhalewhisperers?ra=31203. computer as his canvas.

THIS GIRL IS GOING FOR GOLD… MUSICIAN GYAN HAS LAUNCHED A CROWDFUNDING PROJECT… AND THE CLOCK IS TICKING! What is this project all about? After some award-winning, artistically credible, somewhat left-of-centre material in the last decade, my fans, friends and industry acquaintances have convinced me to embark on my first covers album. I love the Reels Beautiful that they put out through K-tel and we play it all the time at home. It’s probably our benchmark for a stylistically coherent and artistically pleasing repeat-listen covers album with a couple of originals. Why are you doing a crowdfunded project in conjunction with Universal?

bit less personal financial risk. And I must say that the process has also already helped create a more honest and direct path to communicate with my fans and public, despite my initial reservations about crowdfunding. How can people get involved or help along the way? Fans can pre-buy the album and other packages or services. Most importantly a window into the process of making the album as well unprecedented access to my unusual and artistic life, which has often been referred to as reclusive. Also we will be staging some house concerts between now and kickoff, the first being Saturday, Bangalow, in a friend’s converted church as the venue. Why is crowdfunding important to artists such as yourself?

Times are not what they used to be for musician artists; internet piracy has affected all of us. Even in the good days we lived pretty much on the edge, generally borrowing money for a project such as this; and trust me, this is a small budget compared to some of the last few. With the rise of downloading we’re kind of still paying off some of those forays. Crowdfunding, in this instance, is my fans’ trusting me to deliver a good album and ensuring it gets made by pre-buying it. I think there’s value for the What do you hope to achieve? punter as well as a sense of honest connection with I would always be aiming to make a beautiful and timeless album. Crowdfunding is a way to bring back my audience.

I have struck a two-album deal with a subsidiary of Universal. The first album will be a joint venture giving me 50 per cent of profits instead of the usually lower record company percentage as well as full equal say in all matters to do with the album. Crowdfunding will enable me to meet the financial contribution I need to make. It’s a good position for an artist to be in if we can pull this off.

22 JUMP STREET

The running gag throughout this less-than-stimulating regurgitation of the same-old-same-old, dumb-arse buddy flick is that its plot is a repeat of 21 Jump Street. Such jokey self-referencing, because it is now so commonplace, can’t help but give the impression that the filmmakers are taking you, the punter, for a mug – ‘We’ve done this before and we’re doing the exact same thing again, so you can like it or lump it’. Which is fair enough if you want a cheap laugh at some stale setups, but industry smugness on this scale sticks in the craw. Schmidt and Jenko (Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum) are back as the bumbling police officers who, despite their gaucherie and penchant for getting it wrong, will solve the problem of who is dealing drugs in the college at which they enrolled as undercover cops. Predictably, ribaldry reigns, but there was a point at which it seemed to me that even the most staunch devotees of the low-brow had reached a tipping point. It came as the boys were searching a room for evidence. They pulled from a drawer a large pink dildo. The mention or sight of a dick is normally enough to send the genre’s aficionados into paroxysms of laughter, but on this occasion (at the session I attended, at least) there was barely a titter. Had the Mob reached smut fatigue, I wondered? Or is that an oxymoron? Hill and Tatum, who milk their shtick to the max, are likeable actors and they work well together, although it is unlikely that they will be recorded in the annals alongside Laurel and Hardy, Abbott and Costello et al – for a start, there is nothing original in what they do. They are mere clones of the wise-guy boofhead that has become the template for box-office comedy. The explosive finale, involving a tasteless summary execution, should be out of place (honestly, is it funny to see a person incinerated?), but nobody goes to a movie like this expecting anything more than tack. ~ John Campbell

HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2

Animation today is a wondrous art form, and it is all too easy to be overwhelmed by its technical achievements, by the way in which it can so cleanly and effortlessly transport the viewer into a fantasy world. But as often as not, almost as an aside, it will be a minor detail that catches the eye and sells the larger vision. Such was the case for me in this fab movie when I noticed the stubble on the chin of twenty-year-old Hiccup (voiced by Jay Baruchel) – it made him so much more human. Dragon 1 (2010) was a coming-of-age tale in which the

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

misfit Hiccup needed to assert his own personality, in conflict though it may have been with his status, on the island of Berk, as the son of the brawny chieftain Stoick (Gerard Butler). He did so by taming a feared dragon, Toothless, at the same time as he fell in love with the cute tomboy Astrid (America Ferrera).

For his troubles, Hiccup ended up with a prosthetic leg, which made a neat pair with the false wing that he had made for Toothless. The sequel follows the unlikely prince as he moves inexorably towards the fulfilment of his destiny. In order that this be achieved, Hiccup goes into battle with Drago (Djimon Hounsou) after discovering the identity of the mysterious Valka (Cate Blanchett). The shift in emphasis means that there is less involvement from Astrid, which is a great shame, and more time given to the looming conflict with Drago – it is good versus evil with little ground in between, resulting in a story that lacks the original’s sense and sensibility. Not that there is not room for a dollop of genuine sentiment, laid on with a trowel in a burial scene of intense poignancy. The drawings are brilliant – every tiny part moves – and the relationships are all believable, none more so than that between Hiccup and Toothless (a boy and his dog). Unfortunately, the triumphalism at the end makes tawdry the adventure that preceded it. ~ John Campbell

FADING GIGOLO

Woody Allen has made plenty of great movies, but apart from Annie Hall (1977), I’ve never been taken by him as an actor. Whining Woody is more of a standup comedian who, playing himself all the time, usually appears as a narrative guide, not unlike a neurotic Shakespearean fool. In John Turturro’s delicately balanced, gently iconoclastic romantic comedy he gets rather too much screen time doing his usual shtick as Murray, seller of rare books, who manages to persuade his friend Fioravante (Turturro) to become a male prostitute. If you can live with the wild male fantasy that a couple of posh New York dames such as Sharon Stone and Sofia Vergara would be happy to fork out big bucks for the pleasure, you’ll be fine – personally, I nearly found it a bridge too far. Fortunately for all concerned, Woody’s presence diminishes somewhat as Fioravante becomes more emotionally connected to the beautiful widow Avigal (Vanessa Paradis), which is a relief, for the comic scenes are lame but the romance is tender and insightful. Avigal, still mourning, is only ready for the touch of Fiaravante’s hands as a masseur, allowing us to feel sympathy for her admirer Dovi (Liev Schrieber) while at the same time knowing that his amour might yet not be crushed. The location of red-brick, middle-class Brooklyn resembles nothing so much as a cosy Norman Rockwell painting and is in stark contrast to the highrise apartment decorated with contemporary art of married client Dr Parker (Stone), and the subterranean star chamber of the Hassidic rabbis who would judge Murray for his sinful behaviour – it is a running gag that Murray has been pimping Fioavante as a Jew. The subject of sexual mores, in this case specifically related to strict religious custom, is taken to task without bombast by Turturro (also responsible for the screenplay), who is more interested in bringing to the surface the deep desire that all of us harbour for the comfort of physical embrace and the door it opens to the heart’s fulfilment.

IN FOCUS

By Simon Haslam

IT’S ALWAYS SUCH A PLEASURE WHEN YOU GO OUT TO DINNER AND THE FOOD IS UNEXPECTEDLY GOOD. Traditional Thai’s head chef John Verano learnt from Sydney Thai cuisine guru David Thompson, and the restaurant, which is located just next to Orient Express in Fletcher St, serves the unique, quality dishes that should be part of eating out in Byron. John and his partner Marianna, who directs front of house, are a very personable couple who are passionate about their restaurant. Each individual plate of food is separately prepared completely from scratch (so be prepared to share and have your food arrive when it’s ready; it’s worth it) and Marianna prepares all the cocktails herself to unique recipes that she has developed to complement the food. From the first sip my wife declared that if nothing we subsequently ate was any good, that she’d still be coming back for the cocktails. I tested out John by ordering a side dish of wok-tossed morning glory, (the only dish I could afford at my favourite Adelaide Thai restaurant as a student), and amazingly John’s version ($12) with soft tofu and gai lan equalled my sentimental memory (which 25 years ago cost $10). Although the dishes are not ‘mainstream’, this is not immediately apparent from the deliberately simple menu, so the casual website menu browser might think that my ‘vegan yellow curry of roasted pumpkin and

The staff were happy to bundle up the remainder for us to take home, but not before I had sampled what’s described simply on the dessert menu as ‘sangkaya – coconut custard with shredded coconut’ ($9). Another top-notch flavour surprise: coconut infused with pandanus leaf with a separate custard sauce, coated with caramelised palm sugar, toasted sesame and turmeric – this was a really wonderfully light and fresh distinctive dessert to finish a meal of unique flavours made from quality local ingredients at a very reasonable price. Organic Botero coffee served with organic milk • Artisan coffee merchants, take home whole beans or freshly ground • Extended selection of daily baked savoury & sweet treats • Private licensed area for business meetings & group functions Special event dinners or La Table can come to your table!

My wife ordered a whole flathead. Like all the fish, it was fresh and local; this one was also quite large and perfectly cooked. Her side dish of betel leaf with caramelised pork and prawn and toasted coconut ($4.50) compared favourably to a similar dish in a top-notch Melbourne restaurant recently. At this stage, together with our excellent green papaya salad ($9.50) and fresh coconut rice ($4), we realised that we actually had over-ordered, something that has not happened to us for years.

okra’ ($24) could be ordinary. It wasn’t. This dish surprised me with the freshness of its rich warm flavours. And speaking of pleasant surprises, this was my first experience of the white Austrian wine gruner veltliner, grown since 2010 by Hahndorf Hill. The 2012 vintage GRU from the restaurant wine list was voted the best example of the variety grown outside Austria; it’s a pure and minerally wine that is food friendly for vegetarians (such as I) and with Asian cuisine.

roadside test around 1pm. Mr Bolt pointed out police tests measure presence not quantity, and that the sensitivity of the equipment was ‘quite high’. He said a conviction could impede Mr Bunter’s ability to travel to the United States, where he worked with another artist putting on exhibitions. He also needed his licence to work locally as a stonemason. Magistrate Heilpern accepted the submissions. ‘Magistrate [Jeff] Linden had words to say about the length of time cannabis stays in the system,’ Mr Heilpern said. ‘My understanding is that it can also be picked up within 13 or 14 hours after smoking so I accept that he was not intoxicated.’

‘People will either be drivers or [cannabis] smokers, but with the current regime you certainly can’t be both. Lismore magistrate David Heilpern offered that musing last week while placing a local artist on a 12-month good behaviour bond for choosing to be both. James John Bunter had pleaded guilty in the Lismore Local Court to a charge of driving a vehicle with an illicit drug in his blood. His solicitor Steve Bolt said a roadside breath test had initially tested positive to methamphetamine despite him not having touched anything like that for years. ‘He has quite strong opinions of the dangers and has done anti-meth works [of art],’ No record Mr Bolt said. ‘He has no prior drink drive Mr Bunter admitted howor drug drive and there was no ever to having smoked cannabis around midnight the night suggestion that he was driving before he was detected in a under the influence.

modation for people in need. A few of his mates – one he had known for 50 years – sat with Mr Campbell throughout the day, waiting for his appearance. The court heard Campbell had taken part in the MERIT program, designed to break substance abuse problems, and had been described as ‘the best participant in the program’. Magistrate Heilpern noted that it was ‘a stupid venture and out of character’, motivated by a desire to complete renovations on his house before he became too old. He noted that the amounts were ‘significant and large’ and placed Campbell on an 18-month good behaviour bond for two supply charges, and convicted him of possession and cultivation, but with no penalty. In an entirely unrelated matter, Magistrate Heilpern got the chance to quote English historical figure Oliver Cromwell, while sentencing Gregory Cromwell for low-range drink driving. Gregory Cromwell admitted to sharing a bottle of wine with his wife over dinner, and despite having planned to stay longer for coffee, they left early because their daughter was feeling unwell. As he was technically over the limit, magistrate Heilpern placed him on a good behaviour bond with no conviction, but said part of the punishment was to listen to his favourite Cromwell quote. ‘Technicalities are the trees in the forest of our justice system and where else shall we hide when the cruel winds sweep across the land’, he said.

into account that he does a lot for the community’. Magistrate Heilpern placed Bunter on a good behaviour bond for 12 months, and recorded no conviction. But not before saying, ‘whether one considers these laws of driving with cannabis in their system as road safety measures or prohibition is debatable … people will either be drivers or smokers, but with the current regime you certainly can’t be both’. Not in NSW anyway. When dealing with a minor drug possession matter a little later involving Nadine Callander, who offered her ‘deepest apologies’ for the indiscretion, Mr Heilpern observed that she had chosen the wrong medicine. ‘Cannabis is not available for medicinal or psychoactive reasons here in NSW,’ he said, before listing the Australian Capital Territory, South Australia, much of mainland Europe and many states of America as places where such reasons were recognised by law. In another cannabis related matter, a 72-year-old Barkers Vale man caught with 11 kilos of ‘good quality’ marijuana was placed on an 18-month good behaviour bond. The Lismore Local Court heard that Brian Campbell had kicked a 47-year history of cannabis use since being busted and was at a low risk of reoffending. His solicitor Alicia Carter pointed out that Campbell had no prior conviction of any sort and lived a humble, isolated life. But he was of good character and had given a lot to the community, providing accom-

CHESS by Ian Rogers Play at Byron Services Club, Mon 7pm Magnus Carlsen is an acquisitive young man. Not content with winning the world title last November, this week in Dubai the 23-year-old Norwegian won the World Rapid and Blitz Championships as well. The rapid event was a 15 round marathon over three days, with each player subject to a time limit of 15 minutes for the game, plus a 10 second increment for each move. In the 11th round, the first of the final day, Carlsen was lucky to escape defeat against world #2 Levon Aronian and then Carlsen lost his first and only game of the tournament, to the player he had dethroned as World Champion, Viswanathan Anand. In the penultimate round, running into trouble against Alexander Grischuk, Carlsen took enormous risks to keep his title hopes alive. Carlsen explained, ‘I sat there thinking until I had about 20 seconds left but there was nothing there.’ Needing to move almost instantly, Carlsen avoided disas-

ter, but with a six minute advantage and a dominant position the game should have been Grischuk’s. Somehow the Russian failed to find the killer blow and Carlsen, surviving on his 10 second increments, was back in the game. Most players would have been happy to escape with a draw but Carlsen said, ‘I had been short of time for so long I felt no fear and played for a win’. The stars aligned and Carlsen won to take a half point lead, a lead he did not relinquish.

Giants tenacious in defeat Bankers 2 for 2 in Shand Brian Mollet

Sunday’s Shand series stoush between the red-necked Left Bankers and the disciples of St Seymour, the Geckos, was played under some heavy mental clouds with both squads in a state of sleep-deprived delirium owing to the world cup. Lomath Oval was gleaming harder than Malcolm Turnbull’s diamond tie pin after rain before play as on-field leader James of the Geckos won the toss and asked the Bankers to bat. With netball in full swing on the adjacent courts it was agreed that play would take place from the southern end to avoid a potentially tragic clash of sporting cultures. What began as a walkover for Northern United turned into a nail biter for Mullum Giants’ fans as the seniors plowed their way through the scoreboard at Les Donnelly Field on a golden Sunday afternoon. Mullumbimby must have had an extra serve of Weet-Bix during the break as they almost completely turned the tide on their southern opponents; alas, time beat them in the end and United skimmed in for a win 24 to 22 over the Giants. The Reggies had less luck with their game, losing 16 to 28. The under-18s had better luck in a tight game that saw them walk away with a 14 to 10 win. Putting in a valiant effort for the Giants was number 2 Tim Browning, who put this try over the line to boost their score. Photo Eve Jeffery.

Geckos stalwart GregO opened the bowling with tearaway James and delivered more well-placed curlers than a hairdresser on a wedding day, and was rewarded with an early scalp. Aaron (32 n/o) and Gazza chanced their arms as the outfield was about as generous as a Joe Hockey budget; both were dropped more often than a bimbo’s boyfriend but the runs kept coming. Simon (29 n/o) and Blake (30 n/o) took advantage of the good start and only tidy spells from the plucky Christian (1–5) and St Seymour (1– 4) held the rampant Bankers to a well-fleshed 148. The Geckos’ reply faltered early as cricketing relic Gazza (1–5) showed some of the

old shine with the ball and Eli’s throw to the bowler’s end was too fast even for the world’s oldest teenager Adeha. Christian’s 30 was as well compiled as an excuse for not turning up to work and kept the Geckos in with a show but the chances of victory dived like an Argentinian striker when James chopped one on from Aaron (2–4). Mick (21) kept the crowd entertained with some late hitting but wickets to the lively Rob, Matt and Brian tidied things up for the Bankers to leave them undefeated from two outings. Next week Main Arm’s 11 disagreeing captains argue with the laidback surf dudes of Suffolk, the Swingers.

Jesse Gribben with a snapper (above) and Simon Gribben (below) with a Mahi Mahi.

The local reef has been holding a great variety of bait fish, with the larger specimens found further north. The prevalence of these bait fish has seen a few sneaky mackerel hanging around even though they should have headed towards warmer waters by now. The temperature in close has been 21 degrees and hoards of small tuna have been harassing baitfish on the surface, to the point where you can see them free-jumping out of the water. Out wide (and thanks to beautiful sea conditions) flame tails, bar cod and blue-eye trevalla have been brought home from the 90-fathom line east. Midway out, some big snapper are starting to turn up now along with good numbers of pearl perch. Mahi-mahi are still to be found east of the cape and

they have been growing in size rapidly with many specimens taken at the 1.2m mark. In among all of this the humpback whales have been seen in good numbers on the migratory path north. In the river the flathead seem to have gone a little quiet, yet the bream have been feeding voraciously. The beaches have been producing dart, tailor, bream and tarwhine with some of

the better results coming from beneath the white water where the sandbanks meet the gutters. The mouth of the Brunswick River has been consistently delivering quality mulloway on beach worms and live mullet, particularly on the northern side of the north wall.

Joey on trucks for Oz skateboard titles Bruised not broken Eve Jeffery

Gary Osbiston

All Joey Cormack can think about is skating – leaving school days behind, he is continuing his education by distance and spending time at the skate park, and it’s paying off. Joey has just won the Volcom Stone Wild In the Parks at the Norfolk Skatepark at Ormeau against Queensland’s best in the 15-and-under age group. Skating since he was 10 and competing for three years in an average of 12 competitions a year, Joey has several titles under his belt. Joey, who says his talent lies in street skating, wants to build a career out of what he loves to do, and hopes to turn pro and travel the world – he just wants to be able to skate every day.

The Brunswick Breakers had an away game to league leaders Lismore Workers. In the pre-game warm-up the coach told the team that this would be a very physical match, play as a team and look after each other. The Breakers were also missing central defender Erin, so the team was set up as a 3–4–3 system; the four mid-fielders had a big game ahead of them. Captain Julia led the team out on this sunny Sunday; Lismore won the toss and elected to kick off. The game started. The Bruns girls were switched on and soon won control of the striker. Izzy had the first shot of the game on target but the Lismore keeper saved. For the next 25 minutes the away side gave as much as they got; the tackles were hard but fair, both side having shots on goal. The Bruns keeper was again in fine form saving many a shot. In the last minute of the first half Lismore attacked, the ball was

AFL 9s comes to the Bay in October Sydney Swans dual premiership player and AFL 9s ambassador Jude Bolton last week launched the AFL 9s Byron Bay Invitational, to be held at the Byron Regional Sport and Cultural Complex on October 11 and 12. AFL 9s teams from across the country will compete over two days for $16,000 worth of prize money in men’s, mixed and women’s tournaments. AFL 9s is a social version of Australian Football that requires less time commitment than traditional forms of the game, with an emphasis on fun and fitness. The game is touch only (no tackling) and is played with nine players per side on a smaller rectangular field.

‘AFL’s 9s is a social game and we wanted to create a tournament that highlights that,’ said Bolton. ‘Not only is Byron Bay one of the most beautiful places in Australia, it’s renowned for its laidback vibe, which makes it the perfect backdrop for the event.’ Bolton was joined at the launch by Byron Shire deputy mayor Cr Basil Cameron, who said the event would be a great addition to the Byron calendar. ‘It’s going to be of fantastic benefit to our shire with lots of visitors over the two days,’ said Cr Cameron. ‘It’s wonderful not only in terms of participation but in what it will bring to the community.’

National AFL 9s manager Andrew Hughes said that the event also aimed to highlight the game’s most skilled players. ‘We want to attract the best male, female and mixed teams from across Australia to participate,’ said Hughes. ‘It’s hoped this will become an annual event that will showcase highly skilled AFL 9s players hand-passing the ball with speed and precision and kicking miraculous goals.’ The tournament will feature 32 teams of 12 to 15 players (16 men’s, eight mixed and eight women’s). Registration cost is $60 per person with minimum of 12 players and a maximum of

kicked into the penalty area. The Breakers’ keeper ran out only to be flattened by an opposition player and landed flat on her back – surely a free kick to the keeper. The ball was tapped into the net by the girl who committed the foul; 1–0 to Lismore – the Breakers’ coach was not happy. The half time whistle blew; the players came off, keeper Zoe still feeling the effects of the foul. The second half began. Brunswick kicked off knowing they were still in the game. As the game rolled on Lismore started taking control but could not get past the defence. What a game those three girls were having! The Bruns girls counterattacked on numerous occasions but had no luck. In the last few minutes the home side attacked again and this time found a way through and scored 2–0. The final whistle was blown and the Brunswick girls were exhausted, bruised but not broken. The coach was so proud of them. Great effort, girls.

The Bay Rollers are on a Zebra hunt – known for their black and white stripes, skating roller derby officials run the show. The Rollers are looking for people to become part of their roller derby league as officials – both on skates and off. If you’re looking to be part of Australia’s fastest growing sport, come along on Friday June 27 to the Byron Sport and Cultural Complex to attend a scrimmage.

Population growth continues to drive housing demand The demographic statistics released by the ABS last week imply strong demographic demand for housing, according to the Housing Industry Association (HIA). ‘The figures show Australia’s population reached 23.32 million by the end of 2013, having added around 396,000 people in the year during 2014. This is equivalent to a growth rate of 1.7 per cent over the year, which is down from 1.8 per cent a year ago but still well above the long-term average,’ said Geordan Murray, HIA economist. The natural increase in population (births minus deaths) added 160,357 people in 2013. This was slightly lower than the previous year but still contributed 0.7 percentage points to the overall annual population growth. Population growth owing to net overseas migration slowed to 235,797 in 2013. This element of population growth contributed 1.0 percentage points to the overall annual population growth. ‘There were some interesting developments at the state level, particularly in NSW and WA, which are the two states that have been the strongest drivers behind the recent surge in new home building. Victoria also continues to record strong population growth,’ said Murray. ‘In NSW, the population grew by 1.5 per cent during 2013. Outside the 2008/09 period when migration was influenced by the financial crisis, this is the highest rate of population growth the state has recorded in more than twenty years. ‘WA recorded population growth of 2.9 per cent in 2013; this was down from the high of 3.7 per cent a year earlier but still clearly the strongest among the states. ‘However, migration in WA appears to be mirroring the trajectory of resourcesector investment. Growth owing to interstate migration has slowed markedly and growth owing to overseas migration is also showing signs of moderating.’ In the other states and territories, the population grew by 1.9 per cent in Victoria, 1.7 per cent in Queensland, 0.9 per cent in South Australia, 0.3 per cent in Tasmania, 1.7 per cent in the Northern Territory, and 1.6 per cent in the ACT.

Home owners grant threshold raised The pressures of purchasing a new home will be eased, with changes to the First Home Owners Grant set to help more first home buyers get into the housing market sooner. NSW treasurer Andrew Constance last week announced in the 2014–15 NSW Budget that the threshold for the $15,000 grant will be boosted to $750,000 – an increase of $100,000. ‘We want to make it as easy as we can for first-time buyers to get the keys to their new home,’ Mr Constance said. ‘From 1 July 2014, the NSW government will boost the threshold of the First Home Buyers Grant for new homes by $100,000, which means entry-level buyers can spend up to $750,000 on a new property. This will make the dream for young families of owning their own home that bit easier. We are getting

on with the job of freeing up land supply while ensuring the financial support is in place for young families entering the market. The latest figures show the number of grants has increased significantly over the past financial year. First Home Owner Grants for new homes is 46 per cent higher in the four months to April 2014, compared to the same period the year before. The NSW government is also pleased with the success of the New Home Grant, which began on 1 July 2012. The $5,000 grant is available for new dwellings valued up to $650,000, and vacant land valued up to $450,000. ‘Around 28,000 New Home Grants have been issued since the beginning of the scheme until the end of April 2014,’ Mr Constance said. ‘This is all about spurring on

From 1 July, the grant will be restricted to Australian citizens and permanent residents. The grant will also be restricted to one grant per person, per year. ‘There have been a small number of occasions where foreign non-residents have claimed the grant, and some instances where there have been multiple applications for a grant from a single claimant,’ Mr Constance said. ‘We want to make sure the system is the fairest it can be, while still building on the confidence the grant has created in the homebuilding sector.’

Already negotiating in secret over the Trans Pacific Partnership, the release of documents by WikiLeaks now shows the government planning to deregulate the banking industry under the Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA) and open up Australia to foreign banks and financiers.
