Ewingsdale plans now public Hans Lovejoy

With big plans to surround the proposed Byron Hospital on Ewingsdale Road with a mixed residential-retail hub now released, public meetings have been called for Tuesday July 29 at the Ewingsdale Hall. Brisbane-based Belbeck Investments are proposing to develop seniors housing, medical centres, business premises, restaurants or cafes and shops, and Council have put the plans on public exhibition (bit.ly/1qJ44jP) for comment, which closes August 12. Last year, Council passed the development onto the state government for ‘Gateway’ determination but imposed conditions, including traffic and noise impact reports, sewage management clarification, heritage assessment of ‘buildings and surrounds’ and an assessment of possible site contamination, owing to its former usage as a cattle dip station. Council also requested a master plan that will ‘adequately address’ the requirement that aged-care facilities ‘are constructed prior to, or concurrently with, the retail/commercial precinct to guarantee that the seniors housing component is constructed.’

Growth management policy ignored At the time, Council staff appeared vexed as the proposal ‘may be inconsistent with the relevant regional and local strategic plans as it is promoting urban and commercial development on land not identified for such purposes.’ While claiming it ‘is not sound strategic planning’ when viewed in

the context of current strategic plans, staff said the proposal ‘does provide social and economic benefits for the community in a region with a rapidly ageing population.’ While mayor Simon Richardson says he will wait until the exhibition period is over before commenting, local conservationist Dailan Pugh has slammed Council for ignoring its own growth management policies and amending its Local Environment Plan (LEP) to accommodate the development.

LEP changed for development He echoed council staff concerns last year that the proposal is contrary to growth management strategies. ‘Back in 2011, the previous council decided that the Ewingsdale proposal should be included in the Growth Management Strategy they had previously resolved to prepare, so as to allow it, “to be considered in the context of urban growth and centres development throughout the Shire, and in the context of the Ewingsdale locality”. Most importantly this would have given the community their right to decide if such development was needed or appropriate for this site. ‘It adds insult to injury that Council is proposing changing its new Local Environment Plan (LEP) to allow the construction of some 166 houses for seniors on 250m2 lots, a 60-bed aged-care facility, a supermarket and specialty shops, and a medical centre on Ewingsdale Road, just up the road from the proposed 1,100 continued on page 2

Celebrating ten years of locally grown fresh food, Bangalow farmers and producers will be throwing a community party with a free breakfast, entertainment and hamper prizes giveaways on Saturday July 26. President Kaye Shadbolt says, ‘We are a family-friendly environment and all are welcome to join us in celebrating ten healthy years in the Bangalow community.’ From

a handful of stalls in 2004, Bangalow Farmers Market now has about 20 stalls, serving mainly locals in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. As well as wanting to supply local, fresh, seasonal food to local consumers, the philosophy behind the Farmers Market was food security, food miles and regional sustainability. It contributes to the social and

economic welfare of both the rural and urban community, linking them together. After a few false starts, the market began at its current location behind the Bangalow Hotel, and was made possible thanks to the generosity and support of Cath and Tom Mooney.

Surfer missing off Cape Byron Chris Dobney

Hopes have faded for 19-year-old Irish surfer Stuart Butler, who disappeared in heavy swells off Cape Byron on Saturday. Mr Butler remains missing after more than 48 hours, despite widespread search-

es for him, and police fear he has drowned. Two other men were rescued in the same incident on Saturday and several other surfers were rescued Sunday. A multi-agency search including Surf Life Saving NSW, Brunswick

Volunteer Rescue Association (BVRA) and planes from Australian Search and Rescue had to be abandoned yesterday owing to bad weather and high seas. Searching commenced again Monday morning but police say they are moving into ‘recovery mode’.

Organisers of the Boomerang Festival of first nations have announced the 2014 event will not go ahead and said they are rebranding it as

a biennial event. The announcement follows the withdrawal of federal funding from a range of Aboriginal groups.

Former mayor hits out at Council for ignoring due process Former Byron Shire mayor and NSW Greens MLC Jan Barham says she is outraged at a proposal for the controversial Broken Head Quarry site which could see a community title (CT) residential development in an area of ‘high ecological significance’. While submissions closed July 21, Ms Barham blasted Council over its failure to adhere to strategic planning and biodiversity protections. Ms Barham said the 60hectare site has been ‘one of the most controversial de-

velopments in Byron Shire’s history, attracting more submissions than the high-profile Club Med development proposal.’ ‘The land is not even featured in the council’s map for community title development and fails to meet the zoning requirements for residential subdivision. The current DA states that “The proposal complies with applicable development standards and guidelines. It is compatible with strategic objectives for the area”. ‘This is a misrepresenta-

tion of the planning processes that currently exist for the site and the application should’ve been recognised as inappropriate and refused.’ She added that instead it is being set up for consideration, ‘by a council that now appears to have abandoned the decades of commitment to strategic planning and biodiversity protection that the community expects.’ She says the property sits within a wildlife corridor, features endangered species habitat including at least thir-

teen threatened fauna species, and a history of impacting on the cultural and ecological values of an identified Aboriginal place, the ti-tree lake. Ms Barham is urging Council to extend the deadline for submissions. ‘After only two weeks of exhibition – which was also school holidays for some – hardly anyone knew about it.’ The Echo sought comment from Greens mayor Simon Richardson just before deadline but did not receive a reply as of going to press.

continued from page 1 houses, shopping centre and industrial area at West Byron.’ ‘In many ways, it will significantly aggravate congestion on Ewingsdale Road, will contribute to the overloading of the sewerage works and will limit future expansion of the hospital.’

While Mayor Richardson told The Echo that he believes that Council will have a say in this development, Mr Pugh isn’t convinced. ‘Don’t be fooled into thinking that Council can do anything as they ceded their power to the minister,’ he said, ‘who has directed

Council to make the necessary changes to the LEP by November. ‘[Local MP] Don Page is the only one who can convince the minister to change her decision. ‘Both Byron Council and the state have colluded to abandon strategic planning

in favour of giving developers free rein to impose their will upon us.’ Council’s community briefings will be conducted 10am – 12 noon, 2pm – 4pm and 6pm – 8pm at the Ewingsdale Hall on Tuesday July 29. The plans are available at http://bit.ly/1qJ44jP.

Uluru caretaker holds space July 24 A traditional caretaker of Uluru/Kata Tjuta will be sharing his wisdom, stories and songs at an Indigenous educational fundraiser on July 24 at the Mullumbimby Civic Hall. It’s a rare chance to hear elder Uncle Bob Randall firsthand – as a child like many from the stolen generations, he was taken from his family by a police officer. Along with others, he walked through the desert as an eight-year-old with his neck chains while a police officer rode beside them on camel. Co-organiser of the event, Qala Phoenix, says that after returning to his land, his people and family heritage, uncle Bob became a special teaching uncle, or a ‘Tjilpi’ of the Yankunytjatjara people. ‘Now in his mid 80s,’ says Phoenix, ‘he is one of the last of his lineage to be born in the traditional way of his ancestors.’ Through his music, films, and books about

the stolen generations, he became a prolific educator, and has travelled the world to speak at events. Phoenix says Uncle Bob’s message is ‘promoting unconditional love and the art of liv-

ing in the ancient way of life of his ancestors, in Kanyini.’ ‘Kanyini is the practice of living in unconditional love with responsibility of caring for all of life, the Earth, self and each other.’

An evening with Uncle Bob Randall and didgeridoo sound healing will be held Thursday July 24 from 6 to 9pm at the Mullumbimby Civic Hall. Bring a blanket/pillow – hot food and chai will be available.

C-Jay back at work after near-death fall Photo & story Darren Coyne

Doctors reckoned C-Jay McKenzie should be dead. The 17-year-old fell from a tree, face first, into shallow water just eight months ago at Lake Ainsworth, Lennox Head, and still remembers the moment. ‘I was with a few friends and was the first and the last in the water,’ he told The Echo. ‘I was standing on a branch about to jump out when a mate started shaking the tree. ‘I fell once and caught myself and he kept shaking and I fell headfirst into about a foot of water. My best mate was on the bank and he got to me first. ‘I was face down in the water, still conscious, but couldn’t move my arms.

, IT S A

‘My mate rolled me over onto him and held me flat on his back until the ambulance arrived.’ What followed was the scariest four weeks of his life. The fall broke two vertebrae in his neck, and doctors told him he should have been dead from the injuries. In-

stead, he spent four weeks in traction in Brisbane with a ‘halo’ bolted to his head. ‘They didn’t tell me I was paralysed. They waited three weeks to see if it would come back to me,’ he recalled. ‘I could only just move my feet a little and couldn’t close a fist or press a button

to call the nurses in.’ For C-Jay, who had begun an apprenticeship after leaving Evans River High aged just 14, it was as if his world had collapsed. ‘It happened just as everything was sorted. I’d got a car, a house and a girlfriend and then bam,’ he said. After four weeks in traction, doctors at Princess Alexandra Hospital in Brisbane set about repairing the damage. ‘I knew that negativity would slow me down so I tried to stay positive and I think that’s what sped up my recovery.’ Eight months on, C-Jay is not only up walking again, he’s getting on with his life: last week he was back at Lismore’s Mecca cafe and aims to complete his apprenticeship.

Local News Farmers NSW call for mining and CSG baseline testing Comprehensive and independent baseline water and soil studies should be undertaken prior to mining and coal seam gas operations commencing, NSW Farmers’ members agreed at their annual conference last week. Narrabri District Council chair Matthew Norrie says it was a unanimous vote. ‘Baseline data are the key,’

he said. ‘You need to know what you’re starting with before you can assess an impact. It also ties into the liability issue – which the chief scientist of NSW has admitted herself is a flawed and a hugely grey area. Assessing long-term impact and the liability of companies as to damage to water or land resources starts with the baseline.’

There are two categories: hospitality/retail and professional (health, legal, property etc) and the awards are in partnership with local Job Search

agencies Tursa, Nortec, EnviTE and Max Employment. Brunswick Heads chamber executive officer Cherie Heale says judges will be looking at presentation, personality, initiative, product knowledge and exemplary service.

Crown parks appoints community committee A community advisory committee (CAC) has been announced by the governmentrun corporation that controls many of the state’s holiday parks and reserves, NSW Crown Holiday Parks Trust (NSWCHPT). According to NSWCHPT chair Alan Revell, the committee ‘will provide statewide advisory representation and a further link between community interests and the NSWCHPT board on matters relating to the manage-

ment and development of the Trust’s holiday parks and reserves throughout the state.’ Locally, NSWCHPT took control from Council of all three Brunswick Heads holiday parks and some public reserves, along with Byron’s Clarkes Beach Holiday Park in 2006. In Ballina, the corporation took over and controls Lake Ainsworth, Shaws Bay and Ballina Central parks and is facing an angry public with its development plans at

Windproof

Silver Sands Holiday Park in Evans Head. The 12 members appointed range from ecologist Dr Anne Kerle from NSW Nature Conservation Council to Malcolm Poole, chairman of the NSW Recreational Fishing Alliance.

Rhetoric v reality Additionally individuals have been appointed from across the state but are are not referenced to any organisation. Despite the press release’s

Lightweight

rhetoric such as, ‘We want local communities to have further opportunity to contribute to this development,’ NSWCHPT recently decided to ignore input from the Brunswick Heads chamber of commerce and the public when quietly adopting its development plans for that town. John King OAM has been appointed chair; his background includes international tourism marketing and management. For more info visit nswchpt.com.au.

Local News Host families needed for UAE students Byron Bay will be the new destination for a four-week English language homestay program for 40 United Arab Emirates (UAE) high school students, and a few students are yet to be placed with host families. Local families anywhere from Ballina through to Ocean Shores are invited to host, and there is an allowance paid to each family to cover costs. Arriving in early August, the group will stay for 27 days with local families and study English each day at the Byron Bay English Language School. Director of the school, Michael O’Grady, said, ‘We are so

delighted that they chose us. They are opting out of their long-term Gold Coast experience and looking for something different in Byron Bay. ‘August is usually quiet in town. So this will help everyone – homestays, teachers and activity operators. ‘It is a great way to experience a different culture.’

Costs covered ‘We have some wonderful families who will enjoy a unique cultural experience by hosting their students’, says Mr O’Grady. Those interested please call 6680 8253 or email clare@ bbels.com.au.

Mayor christens Parklands’ loos The North Byron Parklands (Parklands) in Yelgun, home to Splendour in the Grass and Falls Festival, have just installed 258 composting toilets in preparation for the Splendour audience this week. General manager of Parklands, Mat Morris, says the re-locatable loos are ‘an infinitely more sustainable solution,’ that resolve some issues that outdoor venues face, including ‘a significant reduction in waste-water truck movements’ and transporting hundreds of port-a-loos and showers to and from site.

Shire Council recently provided an approval to augment our existing grey water treatment facility, which processes shower water,’ he said.

Local News Githabul corporation placed under administration Darren Coyne

The Githabul Nation Aboriginal Corporation has been placed under administration as a result of ‘serious governance concerns’. The Lismore-based corporation was set up to administer land on behalf of the Githabul people, whose native title rights were recognised by the federal court in 2007. Those rights and interests cover over 1,120 square kilometres of land, spread across nine national parks and 13 state forests in northern NSW.

The Registrar of Indigenous Corporations, Anthony Beven, last week acted on numerous complaints about the way the corporation was conducting its affairs. ‘Following an examination of the corporation’s books and records some serious governance concerns have come to light,’ Mr Beven said. The examiner’s report revealed that the corporation had not maintained accurate membership records, had not held an annual general meeting within the required timeframe, and had not kept proper financial records.

Belbeck Investments-Our message ¤ ¤ ­¡ ¡ ¦ ¤­ Belbeck Investments understand and respect the sensitivity of developing in the Byron Shire. We commenced this project in 2010. Since that time we have been consulting closely with the planning officers of Byron Shire Council ensuring that all necessary site investigations are addressed. These investigations have confirmed that our land is capable of supporting the additional land uses and is a desirable location for seniors housing. We are encouraged by the progress that NSW Health has made with its plans for the Byron Shire Central Hospital. We believe that the land use synergy that is created by our land and the hospital site presents a unique opportunity to deliver an integrated seniors living and health care precinct. We look forward to welcoming you to the community briefing sessions that we will host on Tuesday 29 July 2014 and to hearing your comments about our proposal. Warm regards Leigh and John Belbeck

¡¤ ¤ ¦ ¤­ ¡ Ŋ ££ On Tuesday 29 July 2014, Belbeck Investments will host three community briefing sessions to promote community understanding about the Ewingsdale Seniors Living Planning Proposal while it is on public exhibition. All sessions will present the same information content. Sessions will be held at: 10am-12pm

2pm-4pm

6pm-8pm

Light refreshments will be provided. At the briefings, the members of our multi-disciplinary team will present the finding of their investigations and be available to answer questions. JPRA Architects will present a preliminary master plan so that you can understand how the site could be developed as a senior’s living precinct. The Sessions will be held at the Ewingsdale Community Hall which is located in William Flick Lane, Ewingsdale. We ask that you register your attendance at the briefing session of your choice. Registering helps us to plan for our events ensuring there is sufficient seating and refreshments.

Byron Shire Council has placed the Ewingsdale Seniors Living Planning Proposal (The Proposal) on public exhibition. The Proposal is being advanced by Belbeck Investments. The Proposal seeks amendments to the Byron Local Environmental Plan 2014 (Byron LEP 2014) to facilitate the development of a sustainable seniors living precinct on the land legally described as Lot 101 in DP 1140936. Lot 101 is a 15 hectare parcel of land that is comprised of two separate parcels: • The eastern portion with a site area of approximately 6.9 hectares. • The western portion with a site area of approximately 8.09 hectares. Under the Byron LEP 2014 three land use zones apply to Lot 101. These zones are RU2 Rural Landscape, R5 Large Lot Residential and SP2 Infrastructure (Health Services Facility). The Proposal seeks an amendment to the Byron LEP 2014 to achieve the following outcomes: • An expansion of the range of land uses that would be permissible on the site under the existing land use zones to include seniors housing, a medical centre, shops and business premises and restaurants or cafes. • A restriction on the retail and business floor space that can be developed on the site to a combined maximum total floor space of 3000 square metres. • The location of the medical centre, retail and commercial uses within a specified area (Area A). Area A is not to exceed a total site area of 1.65 hectares. • A requirement that the development of the land for seniors housing occurs prior to or concurrently with any commercial or retail development on the site. Figure 1 illustrates how the proposed amendments relate to the land.

Carbon tax repeal monstrously dumb

Volume 29 #06

July 22, 2014

This land is mine Byron residents, some of whom were Jewish, took to the streets on Sunday to highlight the ongoing and horrific Israeli-Palestinian war. Last week’s events saw 13 Israelis and more than 400 Palestinians dead, says the BBC. And in this case, the stakes were raised by around a dozen tunnels dug by Palestinians to access the streets of Israel, which led to street combat. In return, missiles, along with tanks and soldiers, terrorised the streets and killed Gazans in the bloodiest loss of life in years. Being isolated and surrounded by those who not only deny your existence but have vowed to destroy you would elicit a defensive attitude. Similarly, being held in an increasingly diminishing high-density open-air prison with no sovereign recognition would drive any human to extremes. While this conflict intensified after the state of Israel was established in 1948, this holy dust bowl has been fought over for millennia: the Canaanites, Egyptians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Macedonians, Ptolemaics, Maccabees, Romans, Byzantines, Arab Caliphs, Crusaders and the Ottoman Turks have all claimed it at one point. As with almost all conflicts that plague humanity, this one reeks of religious toxicity. If you think you are the chosen race, you are mistaken, for we are all chosen. If you think your opponents are vermin, perhaps you are the vermin. On Sunday’s Byron Bay march, activist Rihab Charida pointed out that Australia and Israel were both occupying governments. She told the crowd, ‘Before we talk about Palestine we need to talk about the occupation here.’ ‘While governments and world powers remain silent, people around the world are speaking up. Enough is enough – free Palestine.’ When it comes to ongoing genocide, Australia’s shamefully airbrushed treatment of its original inhabitants continues. It was the nation’s first PM, Edmund Barton, who set in motion the White Australia legislation, and we have never really recovered or progressed since. On a lighter note, BabaKiueria, or Barbeque Area, is a 1986 satirical role reversal on relations between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. A must watch short film. Hans Lovejoy, editor

emissions from fossil fuels are changing the Earth’s climate. The change will be slow at first but the effects are cumulative and irreversible on the timescales of millenia. In the worst-case scenarios air temperatures will rise 4°C by the end of this century. The polar ice caps and glaciers will melt and the sea level will rise, thereby imperilling infrastructure and threatening the entire livelihood of those in countries like Bangladesh who live close to sea level. More extreme weather events are expected, biodiversity will be affected, the oceans will

by Noel Barton become more acidic, and there will be adverse effects on human health. Every credible expert I’ve read says that it would be far better for humankind to act now to avoid problems caused by CO2 emissions, rather than to act in response once effects have occurred. Meanwhile, the low-carbon future should also be viewed as a huge economic opportunity. There are immensely powerful global drivers at work: Decarbonisation of supply. This is the switch towards solar and wind for electricity generation, and the introduction of new industrial processes that reduce CO2 emissions and save energy. Pollution reduction.

ometimes governments make really bad decisions. I’m talking about monstrously stupid decisions that will be incredibly hard to rectify, yet if left unrectified will be a huge burden for decades. I’m talking about a decision so bad that our descendants will shake their heads in incomprehension, sadness and, yes, anger. They will ask how we could have been so badly and stupidly governed. Last week the Australian government repealed its carbon tax legislation. This tax was paid to the government by major CO2 emitters. Money received was redistributed to the electorate to reimburse costs passed on by emitters. This was done in a reasonably fair way, with people on low incomes receiving preferential reimbursement compared to those on high incomes. The carbon tax had been in operation in Australia for two years. It was working; CO2 emissions were falling as gas and renewables replaced coal-fired power generation and industry introduced new processes and saved energy in response to the cost signal. Yes, there were losers in this process, particularly the coal-fired electricity generators. But there were big winners, too, particularly new industries based on renewable power and energy efficiency. Jobs might have been lost because of the carbon tax, but jobs were created too. It needs to be stated clearly why the carbon tax is a good thing. Today there is a 97 per cent consensus among climate scientists that CO2

carbon future as an opportunity to strengthen their industrial base. They will put in place initiatives to promote the interests of their own economies, including R&D incentives and government programs. Our government is blind to these drivers. And here is my special message to deniers who don’t accept the science of climate change. The trend is not your friend. Pioneers and early adopters are reshaping the economic landscape across the world, and they will be rewarded for their foresight as the effects of climate change become more evident. In contrast, those who seek to preserve the status quo – our local fossil-powered dinosaurs – will be left with

stranded assets and a huge task to fix the mess that has been caused. So even if you deny anthropogenic climate change, influential people in the rest of the world disagree with you, and they are today making cool-headed decisions in boardrooms in countries like Germany and China that will affect you tomorrow. Our fossil fuel reserves are undeniably finite, so we have to move to a clean energy infrastructure eventually. But we now know that our fossil fuel gift from nature comes at a terrible price. If we burn all the fossil fuels we will be hot, flooded, traumatised by weather, threatened by disease and morally weakened by the changes we have wrought to our planet. We are literally threatening the prospects for human life on this planet. There is a clear path forward that involves collaboration and good governance to move us to a low-carbon and then zero-carbon future. It’s not even a difficult path, because it offers a cleaner and more comfortable environment, without economic disadvantage, as well as jobs in sunrise industries and better stewardship of our resources. But the low-carbon path is challenged by those who want to preserve their current position and wealth – generally old men who manipulate the levers of power to their advantage.

Blame the previous mob, not us 2009) to progress the assessment of the site’s rezoning. The landowners were left with no alternative but to ask the former state government to assume responsibility as the consent authority after years of Council inaction, despite the offers of additional resources to allow Council to complete this role. All Byron Shire councillors would prefer the decisions around West Byron to be made by Council. However, some of us believe it is time for Council to start taking responsibility for deci-

sions – or indecision – of past elected councillors. If, like us, you are angry that the state government was left with no alternative but to step in, make sure your anger is directed at those responsible for this outcome – those who asked for your vote so they could occupy the roles of mayor and councillors for Byron Shire between 2005 and 2010 and then failed to do the hard parts of their jobs.

Splendour volunteers Are you intending to volunteer for Splendour In The Grass (SITG) in order to get an admission ticket? We ask you to reconsider please from an ethical perspective. Conservation Of North Ocean Shores Inc. have been tirelessly protecting the environment to the north of the shire for more than 25 years. CONOS is opposed to SITG situating their massive festival in the middle of one of the last wildlife corridors which connects the coastal nature reserves with the hinterland World Heritage reserves. The SITG festival site is in a biological hotspot (within a biologically hot shire) with more than 50 threatened species in the locality and numerous Aboriginal heritage values. SITG relies upon a large number of volunteers to boost their profit margin. We urge potential volunteers not to

trade the environmental and heritage values of the site for the price of admission. As Dr Benwell (40 years as a local ecologist) stated: ‘Is it ethically acceptable to use a high-conservation-value area to study the effects of human disturbance on wildlife?’ Dr Benwell is one of many professionals that we quote on our Facebook page (CONOS Inc). Please acquaint yourselves with this information source and consider your stance from an informed basis. The festival can be moved but the environmental and Aboriginal heritage values cannot be moved. We hope some of the Bentley magic will rub off and guide your decision.

Noisy neighbours? Victims of Holiday Letting (VOHL) has become aware that many neighbours of holiday lets are not reporting to Byron Council incidents that disrupt their amenity. Currently, holiday letting is illegal in R2(2a) residential zones in Byron Shire. Many of these incidents involve offensive noise. The NSW Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997 (Noise) gives a legal definition. In summary, it states that offensive noise is any noise being emitted from premises, or from outside the premises, where the comfort, rest or sleep of someone is disturbed. This is operational 24/7.

You can do something to stop this. Record the date, time, details of the incident and any action taken. The next business day contact Byron Shire Council on 6626 7000 (Monday to Friday 9–4) to lodge a complaint. Be sure to ask for a CRN (Customer Request Number). Council officers can advise and take action against the offending holiday let. We suggest that VOHL be informed on 0410 319 163 or email vohlbyronbay@mullum.com.au. Unlike most other holiday accommodation, holiday lets do not have onsite management to monitor and take action against disruptive behaviour.

Remember the war horses As the annual roll-call for horses’ birthday on August 1 quickly draws near, closely followed by the centenary of the outbreak of World War I on August 4, 1914, let us also pay tribute to the thousands of Australian horses that accompanied our soldiers into battle overseas, particularly the most respected of all, proudly known as the ‘Waler’. Specially bred up over many years from a mixture of breeds introduced to Australia from early settlement, including the Clydesdale draught horse for added strength and durability, they proved their worth as one of the best cavalry horses of all time, capable of carrying the massive weight of a fully laden soldier and associated equipment through lengthy periods of battle. On this matter I draw on Council for determination around August. The DA is in the names of one local sculptor and one other local who are asking for the okay for 13 permanent sculpture sites, 12 of which are sight unseen, on our naturally beautiful riverside. I believe the onus should

renewed his horse riding passion propped up in the saddle by a specially padded cushion to maintain balance. Not so lucky was his brother Lieutenant Thomas Karl Ferguson who paid the supreme price, never to see his home town again. The grief thrust on our soldiers at war’s end in having their magnificent steeds quarantined from re-entry to Australia was heartbreaking. Many were sadly put down by their riders for fear of mistreatment at the hands of strangers in foreign lands. They deserve their recognition in the realms of Australian history, both man and beast alike. A monument to their honour stands in the NSW city of Tamworth, lest we should ever forget.

One true statesman Regarding your editorial of July 15, ‘Backing a turd’, I take issue with your statement that Gough Whitlam ‘failed largely because of incompetent ministers within his party’. That view is the one propagated by the minions of the very man that your editorial was castigating, Rupert Murdoch, which demonstrates his reach and powers of deception; they are instilled in the Australian psyche. Gough Whitlam is the only true statesman that Australia has produced and his government, in its brief reign, introduced a raft of legislation that changed the face of Australian society.

Theme park ride or wildlife corridor? Q Having attended the Simon Richardson transport meeting on Thursday evening I am a little concerned that some of these private proposals for use of the corridor would turn our shire into another Coffs or Gold Coast with a ‘theme park’ atmosphere. Byron Bay particularly is an area people come to relax, surf, walk to the lighthouse, watch whales, kayak and look for places to walk and cycle! They want a natural, adventure or relaxed experience. I have met many people visiting our area who are disappointed there is nowhere safe to ride and not many

places to walk. We need to keep the corridor for everyone to use (especially locals) – not just tourists prepared to pay big bucks to pay an operator to get them to Bangalow or Mullumbimby. This is not a public transport option. The obsession with keeping the rails has become a deterrent for real discussion on viable transport options in the shire. The rail trail is part of the transport solution – providing a safe, beautiful, sustainable place for people to walk or cycle throughout the whole of the northern rivers region. This is a fantastic, regional project that can

share the corridor with the North Byron Beach Resort who have done the work and have an advanced proposal in place. With all of these other proposals coming out of the woodwork now (since the rail trail has become a reality) – there could be a risk that it will all come under the ‘too hard basket’ for the government. Let’s stay focused on keeping the corridor in public hands and not selling out to multiple private enterprise groups that may take away from the real northern rivers experience. Marie Lawton Byron Bay

Q The meeting exposed many private business ideas very late in the whole process of corridor utilisation. Although some had some tangible vision, the overall effect I found was that those with developed plans would be better suited to the Gold Coast or Disneyland. The emphasis on cost recovery is paramount, as with any private venture. This would undoubtedly give preference to extracting tourist dollars whilst offering locals mostly a one-off novelty experience. I found the pure attraction of a rail trail rose above any glitter of private enthusiasm,

as the corridor would truly belong to us, the people, to use with unencumbered flexibility and freedom. It may be possible for some of the presented ideas to operate alongside a rail trail on parts of the corridor, but I feel the overarching aesthetic appeal lies in the pure enjoyment of the natural aspects of the corridor without any distractions by theme-park influences. With electric bikes spearheading a real future mainstream low-cost transport trajectory, the rail trail clearly makes more sense than ever. Tim Shanasy Byron Bay

And who is to say that the late Rex ‘keep it in the ground’ Connor was wrong? He envisaged a Norwegianstyle wealth fund for Australian mineral assets and what have we got? Mining corporations so powerful that they

can bring down governments and install their puppets, to wit, the bat-eared Jesuit, Tony Abbott. And the mugs are cheering, mining is good for you, they shout, get rid of the carbon and the mining taxes – it’s the ultimate spin. If you take the Whitlam government’s legislative agenda, piece by piece, it is hard to fault and the conservative forces within our society have been spectacularly successful in diminishing his heritage.

a memorial to a loved one. While this is to be applauded, it is reasonable to assume that the donors would want a shelter that is able to be used for its intended purpose. However, it would appear that Council’s discretion on its size, siting, design and orientation raises questions as to whether or not this is achievable. The siting and orientation of the shelter has been done to take command of the view of the pedestrian

bridge and Simpsons Creek. In itself this would be reasonable. However, there is absolutely no consideration to the known micro-climate of South Beach Park. Winds howl up Simpsons Creek and will blow directly through the shelter, making it unuseable or uncomfortable to use for considerable periods of the year. Perhaps this is why the existing shelters are located further north and take advantage of the curvature of continued on page 14

As for the design, it was explained that it was a ‘standard design’. The shelter’s skillion roof will stand in stark contrast to the pitched-roof design of existing shelters both on the foreshore and in Torakina Park. Worse, the roof takes away the vista from the east and west onto Simpsons Creek. Regrettably, the accumulative effect of this intended memorial will stand as an ugly edifice to the lack of competent planning. Perhaps it is up to Council to fund a reconsidered shelter with a more appropriate siting, design and orientation and realise for the donors their intentions. Patricia Warren Brunswick Heads

the dark ages. Science, social justice, decency and humane treatment of our fellow human beings have now been abrogated by the neanderthal Liberals and their equally despicable Nationals mates, all in the name of their great god the dollar! These idiots are a danger to the social cohesion of this nation and the world’s attempts to tackle the environmental destruction coming upon us from the man-induced climate changes we are already seeing manifest all over the globe. The head-in-the-sand stupidity of a self-seeking, money-hungry, materialistic generation of idiots has taken Australia back to the time of chauvinism, sexism, social inequity and ignorance. The sooner these loathsome things pretending to be our government are thrown out of office the better. Our kids’ future simply cannot afford this pack of grubby servants of money any more.

Carlton’s swashbuckling high seas drama

Women, words and wisdom

www.byronbaywritersfestival.com

Review by Russell Eldridge

Journalist Mike Carlton is an impassioned writer on whatever subject he turns his attention to, mainly Australian politics and society. But when it comes to the Royal Australian Navy, he hoists the battle ensign and hits full steam ahead. Enough of the naval metaphors. Carlton’s previous book, Cruiser: the life and loss of HMAS Perth and her crew, dealt not only with that ship’s remarkable actions in World War II, but the injustice in not fully recognising the deeds of her master and crew. It’s similar with First Victory. Carlton wants to tell a ripping yarn, but he also wants to make a point. The exploits of HMAS Sydney and her quarry, the German raider Emden, are worthy enough material, but Carlton uses the book to argue that Australia had no choice but to become engaged in World War I. He points out that before the outbreak of war, Germany had developed a flourishing colonial empire in Asia

and the Pacific, including German New Guinea ‘at our very doorstep’. Moreover, as war grew ever more likely between European powers in the early 1900s, Germany was drawing up plans to choke the lucrative and vital shipping trade between Australia and Britain. By 1911, the German East Asia

Squadron already had war orders to carry it out. And when war broke out two years later, they did just that. Aided by an established espionage network in Australia, the Germans unleashed havoc on Allied merchant shipping in the Indian Ocean. And it was all down to one light cruiser, the SMS Emden and her wily master, Kapitan Zur See Karl von Muller, who became the war’s first celebrity. The recently commissioned RAN had as its flagship the battlecruiser HMAS Australia, which could outgun any German ship in the Pacific. This deterrent kept the main German fleet at bay, but the Emden was given free reign to roam the Indian Ocean merchant shipping lanes. In three months, Von Muller and his crew captured 26 ships, of which 19 were sunk including a Russian cruiser and French torpedo boat. He became a celebrity on both sides of the war for his daring and his chivalry in saving crews before sinking their ships. His raids even held up the first

Australian and New Zealand troop convoy in Western Australia. In the end bad timing caught the Emden, which had raided the Cocos Islands to destroy communications stations and undersea cables. Von Muller was unaware that the Anzac convoy had set out and was only 80 kilometres away, and it was the escort cruiser HMAS Sydney which broke away for the engagement which would bring about the destruction of the Emden. It’s one hell of a story, and for the most part it’s the deeds of the Emden and her cast of remarkable characters that enthrall the reader. The exploits went on even after the Emden was run aground, with some of her crew making a daring escape in a rotting schooner and finding their way back to Germany after astonishing land and sea adventures. Whether or not you’re convinced of Carlton’s belief that Australia had to join the war, you have to acknowledge his compelling argument and swashbuckling high seas drama.

The important work of investigative journalism Where would we be without investigative journalism? How would we uncover scandals and corruption, hold the government and corporations accountable or expose matters that are concealed? How can we probe and establish the truth? Byron Bay Writers Festival director Edwina Johnson says these and other vital questions will be addressed when some of Australia’s most prestigious and award-winning, investigative journalists feature in several hard-hitting Festival panels. Esteemed journalists David Marr, Colleen Ryan and

CHESS

by Ian Rogers Play at Byron Services Club, Mon 7pm With the Tromso Chess Olympiad less than a fortnight away, the Norwegian organisers have exploded a bombshell by excluding the Russian Women’s team, the defending champions. Norway, to the anger of the world body FIDE, one of whose vice-presidents has made threats of cancelling the Olympiad, ruled that Russia had submitted their women’s team a month after the deadline and had to be excluded. Russia admitted missing the deadline but claimed they were trying to resolve whether Kateryna Lagno could participate in the Russian team. Ukraine, having already lost their top male player Sergey Karjakin to Russia a few years earlier, objected and demanded that Lagno sit out the normal waiting period for federation transfers. Russian FIDE President Kirsan Iljumzhinov managed to have the rules by-passed, but not early enough for the Russians to enter their Olympic team on time. Up stepped the Tromso organ-

Christopher Warren will feature in Friday’s session When Media Empires Fall: The Inside Story, chaired by local resident, author and commentator Edna Carew. David Marr is the author of Political Animal. He is a Walkley-Award-winning journalist and has written for The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and The Monthly. Colleen Ryan was a Fairfax journalist for more than 35 years and she is a threetime Walkley Award winner, including the coveted Gold Walkley. Colleen’s latest book is Fairfax: the Rise & Fall. Christopher Warren is the isers, who stated, ‘We have a duty to treat all federations alike,’ and excluded nine teams for clear breaches of the entry rules. In response to Iljumzhinov’s lobbying to have the decision reversed, the organisers objected to ‘the entire idea that the highest representative of FIDE can overrule and change obligations “with the stroke of a pen”.’ Relations between the world body and Tromso have been strained for some time, with FIDE recently launching a public attack on the impact of Norway’s visa rules on some teams. (Norway replied that they are merely following standard European visa rules.) Most pundits are predicting that Russia and FIDE will find some way to force the Norway organisers to back down and that on August 2 the Russian women’s team will sit down alongside a record 170 other countries in Tromso and begin play. However, the sight of an organiser standing up to the widely disliked FIDE hierarchy has engendered cheers from many quarters and offered hope that the upcoming FIDE election may end Iljumzhinov’s 18 year rule.

BACK IN THE 1980S GRACE KNIGHT AND BERNIE LYNCH TEAMED UP TO FORM THE EUROGLIDERS – THE ULTIMATE BIG BAND, POP, ELECTRO EXPERIENCE. With an extraordinary number of hits, including Heaven, We Will Together and The City of Soul it was a huge loss to the industry when Lynch and Knight harmoniously relinquished their musical partnership to pursue their own creative pursuits. But now, thanks to a call from the Boomtown Rats, Lynch and Knight have re-formed the Eurogliders and are storming venues around the country with their sensational new Eurogliders Show. According to Grace Knight, a one-time Byron Shire local, ‘It was funny how it happened. I got a call from Glenn A Baker asking if Bernie and I would consider re-forming The Eurogliders to

support Boomtown Rats on their tour, and then they pulled the tour. But we were rehearsed and ready to go!’ Coming back together has been both a creative triumph and, at times, a bit of a challenge for these two headstrong players. ‘I have been off doing my thing now for 20 years, so I have my way of doing things, as does Bernie. We are both very strong characters and it takes a bit for me to get used to taking directions and not being the boss! Although it’s actually good not having to be the one that makes all the decisions sometimes – its a bit of a relief!’ admits Grace. A lot of high-profile bands look back on acrimonious periods that saw them destroyed by their success. This wasn’t the story for The Eurogliders – they disbanded because of very different career directions. In fact Grace Knight didn’t want to be a singer. She wanted to be an actress. ‘I never really felt like I walked away,’ says Grace. ‘I got offered a role in the TV miniseries Come in Spinner. When I got this tiny cameo role I was so excited, and then I had to sing the backing track that went with the miniseries. I was petrified because I was a pop singer and they

wanted this jazzy torch-singer. I tried to tell them they’d made a mistake, but I fell into it. I did it with Vince Jones and the album went ballistic; it was the biggest album the ABC had had at the time and it was in the charts for months and months; I would have been crazy not to follow it up with another album. At one point I had an album in the jazz charts at Number 1 and another in the pop charts at Number 5! And that was it – I was a jazz singer. Bernie was married to Collette Dinnigan, so a lot of his time was spent art directing her parades in Paris and doing the design and music – he had really loved that and he got involved in theatre music, for which he’s received numerous awards…’ So now Knight is back singing Lynch’s songs in the band that sent them on this crazy career-building trajectory. ‘I have always interpreted Bernie’s songs because I love his melodies. He comes from a background of soul music, which is where I come from,’ says Grace, ‘and he has this choir background that I think shows in his use of harmonies and the way he loves building tracks using vocals as an instrument.’ So what should audience members be expecting for the show at Twin Towns?

‘We would be lynched if we didn’t sing Heaven must be there and We Will Together – you know we had a lot of hits! I kind of forgot about it; you go into jazz and get focused in that field. It wasn’t until we went back preparing for this Boomtown Rats tour that I really had a look and we had a lot of hit singles. Then you go oh shit, that will take up most of the set because there are so many of them – and god bless the people who come to the gigs because they want to hear that but, being an artist, you want to do new music. So you do two hits and drop in a new song! ‘We are re-recording some of our old hits in a more contemporary way; it’s an odd thing to do when you have a shitload of new songs that I absolutely love. Some are ready to be recorded, but because Eurogliders haven’t been on the scene for a long time people need to remember who we were.’ There won’t be so much synth. ‘Yes that’s what we are not doing – the full-on synth – or the synthetic drums – those plastic drums are no longer onstage!’

The Swamps are quickly gaining a local reputation for a dynamic live show, amazing instrumental prowess and real understanding of the traditions of blues and rock’n’roll. With Armitage hailing from Wellington, NZ, and Swanny a native northern rivers man, this duo is a real cross-cultural mix. The Swamps transmute their Aussie and Kiwi attitudes with a shared love of American artists such as Buddy Guy, James Brown, Dick Dale, Chuck Berry, Doctor John and more. The Swamps are launching their single on Wednesday at the Hotel Great Northern.

WITH HIS HEART ON HIS SLEEVE Mat McHugh is a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and performer who has always worn his heart on his sleeve. From the fateful evening on which he decided that playing an open mic night was the way to win the girl of his dreams, his path as a musician has been adventurous, winding and often unexpected. Mat is best known for his pivotal role in Sydney’s The Beautiful Girls, the outfit who provided the means for his initial musical musings. His role in the band, as the front man and creative force, led to glowing reviews, tours, international

If it doesn’t there will be a specially trained nurse watching, ready to help when you fuck it up. And of course Woolies can even have special Mental Health Days – or weeks… Shit, they’ve got the store; if they lock the doors, they’ve got themselves a mental institution. Why, if they retrained the mentally unwell to do the night pack then they’ve saved themselves some bucks and provided a friendly solution to the homeless epidemic. Just a few days ago Coles announced they are going to be expanding into the financial-services industry. Yes, they will be your bank. They’ve already issued 400,000 Coles Credit Cards, but now in a joint venture with GE Finance you’ll soon be able to get loans. Wow, the supermarket will own your arse. And if you work in the supermarket you’ll be giving all your money back to the supermarket, kind of like the good oldfashioned slave arrangement. I don’t think Marx really got the whole picture when he wrote Das Kapital. How could he had ever foreseen that the world would not be ruled by the bourgeoisie, or the government, but by the supermarket. Yes, my friends, in a very short time you’ll no longer be voting Labor or Liberal. You’ll go to the ballot box and there will be just two boxes, marked Coles and Woolworths.

LOVING BRUMBY

SINGER/SONGWRITER MONIQUE BRUMBY HAS JUST RELEASED A NEW SINGLE ALONGSIDE HER SELF-TITLED FIFTH STUDIO ALBUM. TITLED SILENT WAR, THE SONG IS A POLITICALLY POP ROCK HIT THAT HIGHLIGHTS THE NEED FOR EQUALITY FOR SAME-SEX MARRIAGE. ‘I have loving relationships with men and women. I married a woman and Silent War highlights my view that the union of two consenting adults should be supported. In a world that has its fair share of war and conflict, love is a good thing.’ Brumby writes from experience, beaming out loudly, ‘our world is full of colour, don’t let them take it from you… your honour, your integrity, we’re gonna make it through’. Her charm is unmistakable. Although she has lived in Melbourne for the past two decades there is still something of the small-town girl in Brumby. ‘I was born in Devonport, which was a really small place. My biggest thrill was going to the city of Hobart and we’d go to the Cat and Fiddle Arcade and on the hour every hour they had this clock that had a sculpted scene where the

cow would jump over the moon and the dish would run away with the spoon and I used to think, this is the city! I am here with my grandmother! Going to the Cat and Fiddle Arcade was like going to Disneyland!’ As it turned out, Brumby’s talent would ensure she wouldn’t be a small-town girl for long. ‘I used to play soccer for Tasmania. I made the Australian squad a couple of times. I could have been a Matilda. But it was at a time when women’s soccer wasn’t so big – it’s way more recognised now and women can make an income from it. I have always had this dream to coach a kids’ team – to this day there is nothing that makes me feel more comforted than when I take my dog to the park and I see kids playing soccer.’ But life as an elite athlete was not the pathway for Brumby, who started playing in bands at age 17. She credits her career with her having started young. ‘I think a lot of people could be performers or musicians or public speakers, but the longer you go without doing it the more daunting it can be. You have to be thrown in the deep end. I had a music teacher at school who offered me a solo in Jesus Christ Superstar. I thought Me? Really?’ For a woman with such an exceptional voice, Brumby never thought she could really sing. ‘I never thought I had any different singing ability from my friends who would sing along to songs on the radio. My music teacher heard me and

obviously thought something else.’ Brumby’s talent was recognised more than a decade ago when Paul Kelly invited her to co-write a song for his lauded album Words and Music. The two composed and sang Melting, a song about summer. ‘I learnt that simplicity is work,’ says Brumby of writing and recording with Kelly. ‘He had a broken finger at the time and couldn’t play anything more than a bar chord. So he worked it that he could play a G and a D. We talked mostly about summer and what happens in summer and which things melt, like which things change. I remembered my dad burning down a field next to my grandmother’s house – so it became the song. We talked about the special memories you have in certain houses. It was my grandmother’s house that was the most evocative for me. The garden and the house itself. There was this little sunny spot; the garden was abundant with fruit and vegetables.’ Brumby speaks fondly of her grandparents, who she credits as being ongoing inspiration for living a full life. ‘I have this memory. My sister and I were driving on a country road with our grandparents and my grandmother said to my grandfather, ‘Hattie, I think that’s a Mintie tree’. He said, ‘You might be right,’ so we pulled over and they went and shook the branch and all these Minties fell out!’ Monique Brumby, a powerful passionate force of nature. She’ll be shaking your Mintie tree.

Hailing from northern New South Wales, Bree Bullock is what can be best described as a big heart with a guitar.There’s a special kind of beauty to an artist who keeps it simple, and relies wholly on their own raw talent. No bells and whistles, or looping stations. Bree Bullock is that artist. With a fantastically honest and warm stage presence, and songs that range from introspective and emotionally driven to jovial and carefree stories about not much really. Influenced by some of the greats: Joni Mitchell, Carole King, James Taylor, Bob Dylan, and some phenomenally talented contemporaries: Clare Bowditch, Passenger, Emiliana Torrini, Bree’s soulful tunes offer a classic and poetic expression of raw emotion and ‘such is life’ attitude. Exuding a playful wisdom beyond her years, Bree Bullock is certain to turn heads on the Australian music scene with her hard-hitting and soulful performances. She plays the Sphinx Rock Cafe, on Sunday.

Rew Hanks The Defeat of the Trojan Tiger (Detail)

Monique Brumby has achieved a lot in her career: she’s a two-time ARIA winner, has played shows alongside the legendary Jeff Buckley and The Bangles, and has written a song with Paul Kelly. Despite all these successes she’s definitely not afraid to mix it up and try new things. The release of her single Silent War this month from her fifth (and self-titled) album, sees an addition of electronic sounds to her repertoire, something that her fans are embracing. Nicole Brophy released her debut EP Stubborn Love independently in 2010 and launched it as part of The United Tour, which was a six-week national tour show of four individual artists from four states. Nicole has recently toured with Kim Churchill, Caravana Sun, Tex Perkins, Gossling, Dawn, Sarah McLeod, Paul Greene and Monique Brumby and is currently completing the finishing touches on her latest album – recorded in a farmhouse in the southern highlands of NSW, co-produced by Syd Green; it will be released late 2014. Friday at the Currumbin SoundLounge.

SASHA MARCH AT THE BYRON BREWERY FRIDAY

Over the years, the inner-western Sydney trio have developed a strong following thanks to a live show that revels in making you dance in a semi-‘special’, unselfconscious way and songs that combine infectious hooks and razorsharp raps with roaring horns and genrebending electronic beats. They even have a self- made instrument that literally turns audience members into human drum machines! True Vibes really have created a distinct yet instantly catchy sound all their own. With three horns, three vocalists and three beat-makers logically True Vibes should have nine people in the band, but after graduating with a masters degree in ‘ballin’ on a budget’ they get by with only three members and a strange delight in lugging equipment to shows. Show starts at 8pm on Saturday at the Byron Bay Brewery.

THE ROAD TO SPLENDOUR Derived from the Greek word τώρα meaning now, local band Tora heard that radio station Triple J were choosing a local act to play at Splendour. They uploaded songs to the Unearthed website, and a few weeks later got a call saying the were chosen to play on the Amphitheatre stage.

Local band Tora play Splendour

‘We couldn’t believe our luck,’ says guitarist/vocalist Jo Loewenthal. ‘Everything is just moving so fast. We just released our new single Eat The Sun on Sunday as well, which is the title track from our upcoming EP.’ Tora present a chilled electronic/organic combination of sounds popped into existence in May 2013, and released their debut EP Tora last October. The EP received much love from bloggers and radio stations around the globe. In April this year, the band embarked on their very first little tour, which took them down the east coast of Australia and gathered them some new fans. Since then, they have been keeping warm and writing more tunes for their next release, planned for the later months of the year. Tora, who are Loewenthal, Toby Tunis, Shaun Johnston, Jai Piccone and Thorne Davis, play the Amphitheatre Stage at Splendour at noon on Saturday.

loved and -lauded bands after the release of their seminal debut album Turn on the Bright Lights in 2002. Backing this up with the equally acclaimed Antics, Interpol blew us away at Splendour in 2005 and sold-out headline shows in just hours.

Since her breakout hit Caught Out There the forward-thinking, boundary-pushing songstress has collaborated with the likes of Björk, Raphael Saadiq, Moby, Outkast, P Diddy and Skream and influenced many more.

Two albums later Interpol has famously headlined some of the biggest festivals in the world including Coachella, Summer Sonic and Glastonbury. They have a new album due later this year and Splendour looks forward to hearing some new tunes from one of our favourite bands.

Childish Gambino

Film & More

To say Donald Glover is a man of many talents is one hell of an understatement. With a batch of albums and mixtapes under the belt of his shorts, it’s wit and intellect that set this actor, writer, comedian and rapper apart from the rest.

After the screening of the film Silenced, a panel will discuss How Far Would You Go to Tell the Truth? The panel consists of Thomas Drake, Jesselyn Radack, Senator Scott Ludlam and is hosted by Dr Suelette Dreyfus.

Indeed, you could say he has the Midas touch and we can’t wait to see Childish Gambino paint the stage gold at Splendour.

Only 11 Americans have ever been charged under the US Espionage Act of 1917, eight of them in the past six years. By resurrecting this law and utilising it with unprecedented frequency, the US government seems to make no distinction between those who would sell secrets to a foreign nation and those who release information to the media about issues of great public concern. It would appear that whistleblowing is now equivalent to spying.

Angus and Julia Stone Splendour’s love affair with Angus and Julia Stone ignited following their unforgettable breakthrough performance on the GW McLennan stage in 2006. Two albums, multiple solo releases and a swag of ARIAs later, together and individually, these siblings have carved their names onto the international stage.

Silenced, in Oscar-nominated documentarian James Spione recounts the personal journeys of two of those accused, former NSA officer Thomas Drake and ex-CIA operative John Kiriakou, who was the first US government official to reveal the practice of ‘waterboarding’ as torture on al Qaeda prisoners and is now in prison himself, along with Jesselyn Radack, the accountability advocate who helped bring their cases to light. With particular resonance in the post-Snowden era, Silenced is a David-and-Goliath political thriller about the individuals of conscience who have dared to challenge unethical behaviour such as torture from within the American national security establishment.

Back with their self-titled third album, produced by the legendary Rick Rubin, Angus A N G U S & J U L I A S TO N E and Julia’s creative union has resulted in their best work yet. They haven’t performed together in Australia since 2011. We can’t wait to fall in love with them all over again at Splendour 2014.

Executive-produced by Susan Sarandon, Silenced makes an impassioned and thought-provoking defence of whistleblowers as an essential part of a functioning democracy.

London Grammar Their maiden Australian voyage culminated in a host of rave reviews selling out three headline shows in just a few hours and spellbinding audiences at The Falls and Southbound festivals.

Hoodoo Gurus, Asgeir, Spiderbait, Ball Park Music, Buraka Som Sistema, The Preatures, Peking Duk, DZ Death Rays, The Strypes, The Kite String Tangle, The Acid, Saskwatch, The Head and the Heart, DMAs, Fractures, Darlia, Tkay Maidza, Airling, Yacht Club DJ, Worldlife, Indian Summer, F Kilter and Frid ind the a y Charles on t progra m h Murdoch. en pag ext e

Australia loves London Grammar – landing them three (yes three!) coveted spots in Triple J’s 2013 Hottest 100, with Hey Now, Wasting My Young Years and a Top 10 placing for Strong. London Grammar will grace Splendour’s main stage amid appearances at Glastonbury, Lollapalooza, Bestival and Fuji Rock.

Foals

Metronomy

Indie rock legends Foals return to Splendour in all their glory. The Oxford five-piece followed up their 2008 debut Antidotes with the Mercury-shortlisted Total Life Forever in 2010. That same year they captured our hearts with a stellar performance at Splendour in the Grass and a sold-out run of sideshows. Last year they released their biggest album yet – Holy Fire – which debuted at Number 1 on the ARIA charts and Number 2 in the UK.

Known for writing great songs, crafting lyrics with care and pushing pop melodies into fabulous shapes, London-based RÜFÜS three-piece Metronomy is a band on the receiving end of acclaim from all directions! Their Mercury-prize-nominated and critically lauded album The English Riviera elevated them to the upper echelons of the UK’s music elite. Their newly released fourth album Love Letters has been described as a timeless masterpiece and also happens to be on high rotation in the Splendour in the Grass office. F high riday l Taking synthesisers to heavenly heights, on t ights ar he p Metronomy will join Splendour after revi e o pag us playing the prestigious Primavera Sounds e and Glastonbury.

Relentless touring saw Foals play 155 shows across the world in 2013, travelling 217,438 km, appearing high up the bill at festivals around the world and playing their first-ever UK festival headline slot (Latitude). It’s no surprise then that British media coined Foals as one of the hardest-working acts of the year. Foals will fly in for 48 hours and give Splendour one of their internationally renowned ‘extreme level’ live performances. Give it up for the UK’s best live band.

LIFTOUT PRESENTED BY

The Jezabels One of the hardest working bands in Australian music, The Jezabels shimmer with their anthemic, empowering approach to indie pop. Their debut full-length album Prisoner won the 2011 Australian Music Prize, saw the group named Best Artist at the AIR Independent Music Awards and earned a staggering eight ARIA nominations, two of which they won. Already with hits The End and Look of Love their second album The Brink is a classic testament to the power of rock’n’roll salvation and has cemented The Jezabels deservedly as one of Australia’s most-loved bands.

Now a regular installation in the Global Village, the Gyuto Monks will once again provide four days of peace, pleasure and powerful chanting. Throughout the weekend, the monks will create an intricate sand mandala in their gompa tent, as well as harmonic chanting appearances in The Lotus Palace.

There are so many new creative offerings, including a brand-new venue… The Lotus Palace, by day a chai temple for yoga and dance workshops galore and by night a burlesque palace of wild delights. This is set to be one of the most opulent festival venues you have ever experienced.

The Lotus Palace doors at 4pm on Thursday July 25, with a traditional welcome ceremony with local Minjungbal songman Magpie and the Gyuto Monks followed by night of music and celebration, the perfect way to start your Splendid weekend.

The Splendour All Stars Jam Band featuring Nicky Bomba will keep everyone singing into the wee hours.

6 SUNDAY Highlights Lily Allen The world’s adorable darling, Lily Allen, blew our minds on the Splendour stage in 2007, and with her third album dropping next week and confirmed for Glastonbury, we’re super excited for her to do it all over again this year! Since emerging in 2006 with her iconic debut single Smile, Lily has gone on to sell more than five million albums worldwide. Her second album, It’s Not Me, It’s You debuted at Number 1 in Australia and went four times platinum.

Hilltop Hoods

Chvrches

With three consecutive Number 1 albums including the biggest-selling Australian hiphop album of all time, a swag of ARIAs and countless other accolades, Hilltop Hoods have not only risen to the top of Australian hip-hop, but have cemented themselves a place at the very forefront of the Australian music industry.

Glasgow electro-pop trio Chvrches return to Australia after gracing the stages of Coachella, Glastonbury and Primavera Sound and ahead of their appearance at Lollapalooza.

Numerous sold-out national tours and standout festival appearances have seen Hilltop Hoods singled out as one of Australia’s most vibrant live acts by press, industry insiders and fans alike.

Cheekily titled Sheezus, her latest offering is out on May 2 and promises to be just as massive with the first track Hard Out Here already amassing more than 24 million YouTube views. With a new swag of songs for your listening pleasure, we can’t wait to welcome Lily back to Splendour.

Combining indie sensibilities with barbed pop hooks and an unhealthy obsession with Prince, Chvrches take elements of classic electronica, hip-hop and post-punk, and yet sound like none of the above.

Their blend of classic and modern analog synthesisers, bruised beats and crude vocal sampling came to the fore in their singles Lies and The Mother We Share and helped them reach Number 5 in the BBC Sound of 2013, and Number 2 in the UK Blog Sound of 2013.

LIFTOUT PRESENTED BY

Forums The Splendour in the Grass forums were a fantastic inclusion in last year’s event and in 2014 they’re back.

A wonderful panel will be the Women of Letters: Splendour Edition V.

The keynote interview is Paul Gilding with Lindsay ‘The Doctor’ McDougall: Life on Earth in 2030 – Fun, Frazzled or F%*ked?

Writers Marieke Hardy and Michaela McGuire are back to celebrate the beautiful lost art of letter writing with their annual special festival edition of this lovely literary salon. Join an all-female star panel of artists including Lauren Mayberry (Chvrches), Courtney Barnett, Gossling, Jennifer Boyce (Ball Park Music), Nkechi Anele (Saskwatch), Liz Drummond (Little May) and musical comedians Alice Fraser and Genevieve Fricker as they each narrate their Letter to the Song I Wish I’d Written, hopefully perform it, and invite the audience to pen their own.

‘The Earth Is Full.’ This is how Paul Gilding describes the state of our stressed planet in his gripping TED talk that has already clocked up more than a million views. So what does the former global CEO of Greenpeace, acclaimed author, and now one of the world’s leading advisers on a sustainable economy believe the future holds for us? Will a solar revolution destroy the oil and coal industries and have us all driving electric cars in clean cities that are globally connected by technology? Or will climate change overwhelm us and drive conflict and collapse? Or will it all just be a big, confusing mess? Despite all scientific evidence indicating disaster, Gilding remains an unstoppable optimist. Confident we can survive what’s coming, he believes humanity will rise to the occasion, facing change on a scale and at a speed incomprehensible today. Join him as he chats to Lindsay ‘The Doctor’ McDougall (Triple J, Frenzal Rhomb) about life on Earth in 2030 and contemplates ‘the end of shopping’. Another great event will be a discussion panel – Big brother is definitely watching: Why should you care about Edward Snowden and his leaks? The panel for this one comprises Thomas Drake, Jesselyn Radack, Senator Scott Ludlam and Dr Suelette Dreyfus, with host Patrick Gray. Why should stunning revelations by former US National Security Agency contractor-turned-international-asylum-

seeker Edward Snowden about mass internet and phone surveillance matter to you? If you’re not a terrorist or a criminal, why should you care whether the Google searches you key in, the Facebook updates you post, the gmails you send and the Skype calls you make might be monitored? How much can you trust governments, their agencies and digital media and telecommunications corporations when they operate in secrecy? In an Australian first, join our expert panel of former NSA-officer-turned-whistleblower Thomas Drake, whose own leaks inspired Snowden and provided him with the blueprint of what not to do to avoid being caught; attorney Jesselyn Radack, the director of National Security and Human Rights with the US Government Accountability Project and who defended both Drake and Snowden; Australian Greens’ communications spokesman and campaigner for internet freedom Senator Scott Ludlam; technology academic and writer Dr Suelette Dreyfus, who co-wrote with Julian Assange the cult classic Underground that has since been made into two hit movies; and awardwinning security journalist Patrick Gray, as they uncover the truth about the mass collection of ordinary citizens’ data and why your privacy matters.

This is a profoundly moving love story, harrowing and heartbreaking, but, despite the grief, somehow uplifting. It is told by director Felix van Groeningen in time-jumps that occasionally threaten to fracture the fluency of his narrative – the opening scene is of the parents receiving the doctor’s bad news – but he holds them together with cleareyed composure so that they all fit logically together at the end. It’s quite a while since I have been so taken by a performance as I was by Baetens’s – she is extraordinary as the bold but fragile young mother who is put through the wringer (that she resembled a close acquaintance made it doubly affecting).

cinema reviews

By John Campbell

SEX TAPE We’re still in July, so it’s probably a bit premature to nominate this as the worst movie of the year. It is, however, down there in the depths, giving A Million Ways To Die In The West a run for its money. Not to put too fine a point on it, when the nosegays are being handed out on that malodorous presentation night, this one will be very hard to beat. Call me an old fogey, a wowser, even, but I have never felt a compelling urge to see myself conjugating the carnal verb on video. But if the stunted, fetid imagination of Jason Segel and his co-writers is anything to go by, it is all the rage out there in cyberspace.

CALVARY

blind eye to the cruelties perpetrated by its disciples, is at the core of Lavelle’s struggle. McDonagh explores it with empathy (an innocent scene with a little girl in a country laneway is heartbreaking) and gallows humour. There are lessons for us all – or, as the priest said, forgiveness is under-rated.

Dying for the sins of others is one of Catholicism’s darkest obsessions. Father Lavelle (Brendan Gleeson), pastor to his flock in rural Ireland, is taken aback when a penitent on the other side of the grille tells him of the sexual abuse he suffered as a child at the hands of a priest. As retribution, he intends to kill Lavelle in a week’s time. Lavelle has recognised the voice of his would-be executioner and it is his acceptance of the situation and his preparation for that moment of truth on a windswept beach that propels These are the movies that the narrative. you hang out for – the ones The preamble has Annie and Jay (Cameron It is a stern and laughless landscape in which that amount to something, Diaz and Segel) as red-hot young lovers, doing writer-director John Michael McDonagh the ones that talk about it here, there and everywhere. After they marry (responsible also for the screenplay of Ned life as most of us know it and have a couple of kids, they find that their Kelly – another martyr?) has set his drama. and experience it, with real sexual activities are in decline. Wishing to reIt seems isolated from the rest of the world, people dealing with real ignite their ardour, they film themselves going thus becoming a microcosm of western problems. By day, Didier at it hammer and tong. Jay neglects to erase society in general, and its small coastal (Johan Heldenbergh) is a the vid from the laptops he is distributing township is peopled by characters who, welder, but at night he plays and… well, you’d have to have come down in through their eccentricities, flaws and foibles, banjo in a bluegrass band the last shower if you can’t guess the rest. As tend occasionally to have the story teetering rom-coms go, this is almost impossibly bad, on the borderline of TV’s Midsomer Murders – that does the pub and club with the major point of interest being whether the local rent-boy (Owen Sharpe) is needlessly circuit in Belgium. He meets the term iPad is mentioned more times than overdone. But the mystery of ‘who will it be?’ the beautiful, tattooed Elise the logo of the Macintosh apple flits across the keeps you entwined, as does Lavelle’s spiritual (Veerle Baetens) and she screen. journey as his faith is tested to near breaking moves into his ramshackle brick farmhouse with him point.

Suck it up, consumers. Everything crack like an eggshell. child, Maybelle (Nell Cattrysse) that happens is predictable, the preachy – named after June Carter’s morality is bogus, the wit is of the variety found The question of how any person, least daughter – is gorgeous and on dunny walls – it includes the sight gag of an of all one declaring to have a vocation, both Elise and Didier become eleven-inch pink dildo; probably the same prop could sustain his integrity and maintain an doting parents. To their utter used in the similarly moronic 22 Jump Street – allegiance to an organisation – the church despair, Elise is diagnosed and how much Diaz must have been paid to so – that has been so thoroughly and publicly with cancer. discredited in recent times for turning a demean herself is beyond speculation.

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

The more volatile Didier, whose inclination is to rage at the world, does not project the same warmth, but his character is true and the conflict that corrodes the couple’s relationship – his uncompromising practicality opposed to Elise’s yearning for spirituality – is handled with the utmost, if hurtful honesty. And then there is the music, which is fantastic and intended to be heard as a sustaining force, as a means of explaining the journey along with which Didier and Elise and little Maybelle must make their sad passage. A wonderful film. Try to catch it if it screens anywhere nearby.

A MULLUMBIMBY ICON SINCE 1945, THE EMPIRE CAFE IS WELL KNOWN AS THE PLACE TO GO FOR MILKSHAKES, BREAKFASTS, DELICIOUS BURGERS AND OTHER TASTY LUNCH OPTIONS. Now the venue is moving into a new era; from now on the cafe will also be open for dinner from Mondays till Saturdays. New head chef Thomas Devivo, formerly of The Northern in Byron Bay, has been on board since May. Owners Iris and Heartmut Nauss say that with Thomas and his great kitchen team they can finally follow their dream of creating the cozy yet urban environment of a hip deluxe burger bar; a style that they say is currently booming in popularity in the US and as well in Europe. They recently renovated the whole place with love, and turned it into a trendy yet laidback venue. There are interesting little touches where the plaster has been taken off to reveal the old red brick walls underneath. The recently installed oak floor was gifted to the cafe by the Uplift Festival; it was formerly the basketball court at the Byron Sports Centre, and the owners say it has retained some beautiful energies.

Chef Thomas Devivo has exercised his creativity with the aim of creating the ‘best deluxe burgers in the Shire’, and the successful day-time offerings will be refined for the evening. Thirteen deluxe burger creations (meat, fish/ seafood and vegetarian options) with such interesting names as The Godfather, Point Break and Jack Sparrow are on the evening menu. In addition there are various yummy entrees to share, hearty nachos variations, healthy salads and desserts. On weekends the Empire will regularly host local and international DJs, as well as some live music, starting with a fixed set from DJ Aqua (Bay FM) every two weeks on Saturdays! Reservations for groups of six or over are recommended, and feel free to bring your beer or wine as the Empire is BYO (corkage is $2 per person). In the future, the owners hope to build the Empire into a nice cocktail venue.

Visiting the cafe last weekend the kids loved spotting the photographs of iconic street signs they recognised from around Mullumbimby.

THE EMPIRE CAFE, 20 BURRINGBAR STREET, DOWNTOWN MULLUM. DINE IN OR TAKE AWAY. CALL 6684 2306 FOR RESERVATIONS OR TO ORDER. NEW OPENING HOURS: MONDAYS TO SATURDAYS FROM 9AM TILL LATE.

Story & photo Dogwhistle

After last week’s first loss of the season, to the Richmond Rovers, the Park Hotel Byron Bay Rams took to their home ground on Saturday determined to make amends. An ambitious Alstonville squad was equally determined to give the championship leaders a run for their money. The Rams reserves, battling to keep their finals hopes alive, opened the account in a tough and gritty encounter with a fourth-placed Villa. An early goal from standin striker Connor Cannon was answered by Alstonville and the match went into the

break locked at 1–1. A very soft pair of yellow cards saw a career-first red to Tane Meek that rallied the Rams and a cracking goal from Jonathan Pierce broke the deadlock. The 10-man Byron squad took control for the remainder of the match and a late goal from Steve Kilpatrick sealed a gutsy 3–1 win. Outstanding work from Theo Pavil, Jono Pierce, Ben Ahern, Tai Flanagan and young keeper Isaac. In the Premier Division match, the Rams’ top squad were frequently forced onto the back foot by an enthusiastic Alstonville team bent on taking points from the reigning champions.

Here is six month old TINKERBELL doing some serious lap work. She is highly skilled in the ancient cat art of “lap therapy”, and is ready for anyone with a vacant lap. She may still be very young, but her technique is just the best. Her warm, soft body and strong purring is all that is needed to produce a sense of calm in even the most stressed person. She is ready and waiting, so grab this great opportunity.

Goal number three came from midfielder Lachie Dewar.

The Rams retained the upper hand, however, with tireless Byron mid Kazahiro Tsukamoto a major force throughout the game. A constant threat to the Villa defence, Kaz had a hand in all three of the Byron goals. A Kazahiro cross to Connor Cannon, who found the net, opened the scoring for Byron in the second half. With two more goals from Barry Woods and Lachie Dewar, Byron looked to have the game well in hand but a late surge from the young Alstonvillers yielded a second goal and had the Rams defending hard down to the wire for a 3–2 win. Stay tuned.

Julia led the team out on a sunny breezy day. The home side elected to have the breeze at their backs in the first half. Casino kicked off looking very confident passing the ball about, but the home side were eager for the ball, the tackles hard and fair, the Breakers attacking mainly on their left side and cutting away up with no luck on goal. With ten minutes to go in the first half, midfielder Ella took on the opposition dribbling the ball down the left flank, entering the penalty area, and heard the call from Izzy to square pass, which she did, and the Bruns striker deftly put the ball past the keeper and into the net 1–0 Breakers. Huge applause from the

home side fans. The ref blew the whistle for half time with the home side bubbling to be winning as they had not scored a goal in weeks. The second half began with Casino trying their best to get a goal back but the Brunswick defence held firm. The battle was happening in the midfield; this was where the game could be won or lost with both sides fiercely contesting the ball. Casino mounted an attack and broke the home-side de-

fence with only the keeper to beat, but what a keeper this Brunswick side has – she came out without fear and smothered the shot. The Breakers quickly counterattacked, a fulllength-of-the-field move, which finally found Tiare in front of the goal, but the ball bounced higher on this hard pitch and her shot went over the crossbar: unlucky. Has she scored that would surely have sealed the win as there were only minutes to go. The ref blew for full time; the Brunswick team won their first home game of the season after having many scoreless draws. Well done, girls, as the coach always writes, so very proud of them all. A special mention to Saje: great game today. Bring on the second half of the season.

The Lion King reigns on a rainy Red Devil Park Story & photo John Campbell

Byron Bay has continued its progress towards a possible top-three spot in the NRRRL play-offs with Sunday’s hardfought 26–16 victory over Mullumbimby. Local derbies can never be anticipated as foregone conclusions, regardless of where the antagonists might stand on the ladder. The Giants have had a less than glittering season, but they have never turned it up. Thwarting the more fancied Red Devils at a crucial time in their finals push would have pleased them no end. That they were not quite good enough to pull off the upset was not through want of trying – it’s just that the Bay had that touch of class whenever the balance threatened to topple the visitors’ way. Miserably cold conditions kept the crowd to an estimated 3,227, not too many of whom would have been impressed by a scrappy opening

of penalties and knock-ons. As is so often the case, a score settled things. Ben ‘Spider’ Webber took advantage of hesitant tacklers to run about 60 metres in covering 30 and planting the pill in the

corner. Shortly after, Bill ‘the Lion’ King got the first of his hattrick of tries. The elusive centre looked threatening every time he touched the ball and it came as no surprise when

he took a pass on the blind, forty out, and threaded his way to the line. Neither did it come as a surprise when the Giants’ raging bull, Jack ‘La Motta’ Govett, stormed in to make it 8–6 to the Bay at

Ballina/Grafton team (53– 20). They lost to Yamba and Lismore. Byron girl’s coach Matt Ogle said it was a great day for all players. ‘The girls demonstrated fantastic teamwork and admirable sportsmanship,’ said Matt. ‘It was a fantastic opportunity for some inexperienced players to get a taste of the game at this level. ‘We were proud to host a smoothly run fun carnival in our great Byron facilities. It’s wonderful to see how much fun everyone has,’ says Ogle. ‘There’s a great camaraderie developing between the teams.

‘They’re all here because they love basketball.’ Results for the day were: The team won each of their games by a comfortable margin: Byron v Lismore Yellow 56–18 (Byron win) Byron v Yamba Gold 38–7 (Byron win) Byron v Yamba Black 56–27 (Byron win) Byron v Lismore Blue 36–19 (Byron win) The Byron Bay Basketball Association offers skills training and competitions for all ages.

chipped cross-field, placing the ball precisely into space behind the onrushing tacklers. It floated through the air in slo-mo, like a dove. Tip-toeing down the western flank, King’s eyes never left it. As the ball dropped, he reached for it and caught it on the tips of his fingers, then flew in under the sticks. It was poetry. Jared ‘Monsieur’ De Thiery relieved Goldsmith of the kicking duties and his conversion made it a near unassailable 22–6. A flurry of tries, including King’s third from a scrum win, rounded up proceedings and, as the weather closed in, all anybody wanted to do was get inside and under a stream of hot water. The Giants had left nothing in the tank – they never do – but fortune has not smiled on them in 2014. The Red Devils were their usual enigmatic selves. They promise much and there is a sense that they just might peak when the moment is right.

Great win for Shand Geckos Brian Mollet

The Byron Bay under-12 boys cleaned up at the third round of the North Coast Shield Basketball competition played at the Byron Regional Sport and Cultural Complex on Sunday. Byron boys’ coach Alvin Caoyonan was thrilled with the team’s performance. ‘The hard work the boys have put in over the past few months has really paid off and showed in their convincing wins,’ he said. ‘It’s great to see basketball back in Byron Bay.’ The Byron under-12 girls also had a good showing over the weekend with a convincing win over the combined

the break. Hemi ‘Sphere’ Mullen put Sam ‘Dolly’ Dwyer through a gap with a deft offload soon after the resumption and Byron were on their way. Unfortunately, the man of the moment from the Bay’s previous outing, against United, William Goldsmith, could not buy a goal all arvo. ‘Peppi’s having a bad-hair day,’ mused the Old Bloke, and what might have been breathing room remained at an uncomfortable 12–6. Byron’s compacted defence had invited circumnavigation throughout, but Mullum rarely got around it, so tirelessly did the Devils arrive in cover. When it came to slugging their way down the middle, the Giants did so with conviction, but the Devils protected their line with urgency and grunt. After a Giant had been binned for irresponsibly giving lip to the ref, Byron produced the play of the day. On half-way, Webber

Sport fans, diehards and the unhealthily obsessed were all out in force on Sunday as the two longest-running teams in the Nick Shand series, the Geckos and Main Arm, brought out their carefully nurtured inner champions and attempted to coax, cajole or browbeat them towards victory. Lomath Oval was covered by a doona of fluffy cloud, quite warm and dimly lit; it was a cosy and almost romantic day for cricket as Bucko of the Arm won the toss and invited the Geckos to bat. James and Adeha, the world’s oldest teenager, got off to a bright start for the Geckos until Connor’s wrong-un smoked a few synapses in James’s mind. Main Arm’s veteran battling Baz (3–16) then seemed to find an extra leg (but not in a Rolf Harris way), as he ran out Adeha and went on a wicket spree. Christian (40) slayed a few Main Arm lions as he and Stewie did a repair job on the innings. Anthony (40) and St Seymour then scrambled and thumped the score to 155 at the close and, with a guaranteed spot in the finals for the winner. Lunch was eaten or in some cases imbibed with an air of anticipation.

Grego and Gazza got a few early boundaries for the Arm but then James decided to get into the game, holding a catch off Ali and running out Baz and Grego with lightning throws, like some demented Norse god. It was up to Bucko, known as the team’s co-equal designated representative rather than skipper as Main Arm has 11 captains, and the redoubtable Bourkey to drag the Arm back into contention. On 21 Bucko seared an ear-high hummer backward of square where Christian showed amazing reflexes and some pretty healthy selfpreservation skills to hold the catch of the day. The stubborn Bourkey was joined by cricketing merce-

nary (or floozie) Brian (30) and the total was shrinking faster than Australia’s international reputation for human rights. Needing 12 from the last two overs the Arm prepared to hit out and, like Dolly Parton’s blouse buttons, there was a palpable and imminent tension in the air. Anthony (2–8) closed out a great win for the Geckos, his darting in-dippers too much for the gallant but defeated Main Armers. Next week, as so many players have splinters in their arses, the scheduled Tossers versus Swingers game will slide back to the week following the next fixture, the battle of the valleys between Left Bank and Main Arm.

As if the proposed development of West Byron lands wasn’t enough pressure on Ewingsdale Road and the township of Byron Bay, a retirement village and retail sector is planned for around the new hospital site at Ewingsdale. It makes sense for a developer, in this case Belbeck Investments, to integrate plans with state government health services, but it probably won’t bring much cheer to local residents. You can read about the plans, find out about public meetings and make a submission at http://bit.ly/Ewsplans. If it goes ahead, you’ll be able to shop, retire, go into emergency care and then die, all within one kilometre. How convenient is that? Q Q Q Q

As is usual with shire meetings, the mayor’s gig last week on railway line/corridor options went on for hours, with lots of conflicting opinions and a few good ideas put up. The conspiracy theory is that the state government will put its weight behind the rail trail option because it will be able to flog off public land along the old track to developers willing to bring us a strip mall of coffee shops, quaint boutiques, backpacker shanty towns and other tourist-enhanced opportunities. It’s all a storm in a standard-gauge teacup, as in ten years from now we’ll be gadding about in

Drivers in Bayside at Brunswick Heads are urged to slow down and keep an eye out for crocodiles. Not the reptilian variety but a crocodile of small children walking in a line. Lilly Pilly preschool teachers are taking the children out for walks around the streets of Bayside. The 29 children follow the footpaths, holding onto a long ‘walking scarf’, and along the way stop to read house numbers, inspect plants, read signs and practise all-important road safety rules. Director of Lilly Pilly, Frances Dyett, asks local drivers to please drive slowly, especially from 10 till 12 in the mornings, as the children must cross the road at a couple of places. Frances also encourages locals to stop and say hello to the children.

A monstrously stupid decision, opines Noel Barton on page 10 on the repeal of carbon tax legislation last week. Let’s face it, the efforts by both major parties on climate change over the last decade have been wimpish, if not downright pissweak. A planned five per cent reduction in our carbon emissions by 2020 is hardly leading by example. It’s more likely individuals will take action into their own hands, setting up solar micro-grids and leaving bloated power companies with stranded assets.
