Marquees overflowed again for this year’s Byron Bay Writers Festival. Cultural urges were satisfied as leading lights in fiction and nonfiction, current affairs and the arts got up close and personal with their audience, young and old. Director Edwina Johnson says the tone was set by the gregarious festival authors from opening night at the Byron Bay Surf Club. ‘Delta Kay’s welcome to country was incredibly moving – you could hear a pin drop in the room; and Tim Eddy’s short film summarising our Five Writers, Five Towns in Five Days regional literary tour was a triumph. People didn’t want to leave.’

And from there, big names in literature, journalism, art and music graced the stages over three days. Jeanette Winterson’s keynote address attracted an estimated 1,000 people, and the tents spilled over for Andrew Denton and Andrew Knight in conversation with Geoff Lemon. Media commentator and author Mike Carlton, in conversation with Jane Caro, spoke of his book First Victory: 1914 on Saturday, which coincides with the hundred-year anniversary of the start of World War I this week. The book explores Australia’s rush to expand its naval capabilities in the face of an advancing German military. He told the audience, ‘The population was around five million

people in 1914, and it was a huge loss for a nation to lose nearly 60,000 servicemen. ‘At the time, Australia was a burgeoning country rapidly expanding from federation in 1901 – we had a constitution, were writing laws and building infrastructure. ‘Our trading route back to England – which included shipping wheat, wool and gold – was under threat. In response, Australia had to build ships. One of those ships turned out to be much larger than what the Germans had at the time, and we chased them almost to South America.’

Children arriving at Mullumbimby High School were met by police and a sniffer dog last Wednesday morning, prompting angry calls from parents to reign in intimidating and questionable police powers. It was part of a broad campaign that day, which saw cops take to the streets of Mullum and Byron. Like most law-and-order issues, there is little to no transparency regarding ‘operational matters’, but Tweed/Byron local area command inspector Greg Jago confirmed that a small number of cannabis detections were made outside the school. In conflicting reports, Inspector Jago told The Echo he understood that Mullumbimby, Byron and Murwillumbah high schools were targeted but they were aware of what was happening. But representatives from both Murwillumbah and Byron High

Schools told The Echo there had been no sniffer dogs at their schools. The Echo also understands that a warrant for the searches was lodged with the Murwillumbah courthouse by a Murwillumbah police officer. Attempts to view the warrant have so far been unsuccessful, despite a formal request by The Echo. Under section 148 of the Law Enforcement (Powers and Responsibilities) Act 2002, a warrant is required for public places such as streets. But there is no warrant requirement for pubs, sporting events, concerts or ‘other artistic performance, dance party, parade or [where] other entertainment is being held.’ Additionally public transport, tattoo parlours and the entire Kings Cross precinct in Sydney is open for sniffer-dog ops. So is there evidence to suggest this is effective and a good use of resources? continued on page 2

Cops with dogs blitz Byron, Mullum streets continued from page 1

Not according to a 2006 report by the NSW Ombudsman, which said sniffer dogs had no apparent effect on apprehending drug suppliers, was of doubtful accuracy and drugs were found in only a quarter of cases. And while public information on drug enforcement expenditure is almost nonexistent, a rare academic paper on the topic, Government Drug Policy Expenditure in Australia – 2009/10, points to a much higher proportion of money being spent on enforcement rather than education and harm minimisation. ‘The $1.7 billion amount [per annum] equates to 0.13 per cent of GDP, and 0.8 per cent of all government spending. In 2009/10 it represented per person spending of $76.28.’

Inappropriate ‘Entirely inappropriate,’ is how NSW Council for Civil Liberties spokesperson Stephen Blanks describes the use of sniffer dogs generally, owing to the ‘very low ability of the dogs to accurately detect drugs.’ He told The Echo, ‘It is even more inappropriate for sniff-

er dogs to be used outside a school – even with a warrant – because of the vulnerability of children, who are likely to be arriving at or leaving from school without adult supervision. The last time we received information about police conducting a sniffer dog operation outside a school was in June 2010, in relation to a school at Tweed Heads. ‘There was a police media release at the time, but it seems it is no longer available.’

Politicans reply The lack of oversight and transparency with sniffer dog ops also concerns NSW Greens MP David Shoebridge, who told The Echo he is seeking a freedom of information request on the standard sniffer dog operation procedures. ‘The presence of sniffer dogs doesn’t prevent drug taking, it changes behaviour,’ he said. ‘It also damages relations between police and young people. When we ask police how many prosecutions come from these exercises, we are told they “don’t keep statistics.”’ But according to Mr Shoebridge, recent figures obtained from parliamentary questions

on notice show 65 per cent of all searches following a police drug dog indication find no drugs and as a result is a ‘false positive indication.’ ‘From the 2012 to 2013, there were 15,308 indications leading to search,’ Mr Shoebridge said. ‘Of those, nothing was found on 10,964 people. ‘This is about show; the NSW government want to be seen to be tackling drug crime, but this is not effective policing. It’s an expensive and ineffectual PR campaign.’ He added, ‘These laws have been enacted and cheered on by both NSW Labor and the coalition but were opposed by the Greens.’ Tweed NSW Labor hopeful Ron Goodman told The Echo he ‘wasn’t keen to comment on specific operations but wanted

to ensure police resources were used effectively.’ The Echo then asked NSW Labor’s Walt Secord if sniffer dogs damage the relationship and trust between the public and police. He replied, ‘While I do not comment on specific police operations, I would have concerns if scarce police resources in Tweed Byron local area command were being diverted.’ Ballina National hopeful Kris Beavis told The Echo he was ‘not inclined to comment as we don’t know what intelligence the police had’. But north coast Greens MP and ex-Byron mayor Jan Barham described it as wasteful, ineffective and intrusive. ‘We would benefit from a police youth liaison officer rather than sniffer dogs’, she said.

Tweed Chamber gets political The appointment of National Party chairman for the region as Tweed Business Chamber president has sparked criticism from Labor for compromising the chamber’s independence. New president Matthew Fraser is also the former federal candidate for Richmond,

and lost against Labor’s Justine Elliot at the 2013 election. The Echo understands he intends to run again for the next federal election. At the time, the Tweed Heads-based Hungry Jacks entrepreneur refused to answer a raft of questions from The Echo.

Local News Remembering Australia’s part in World War I On Monday August 4 at 11am, a service was held at the RSL LifeCare Patrick Bugden VC Gardens Aged Care Facility in Suffolk Park to mark the 100 years since the commencement of WWI. Local schools and community members attended, as well as residents – some of whom are returned servicemen and women. Students from Byron Bay High School provided an overview of the origins of the Great War, and students wrote the names of local soldiers who perished on crosses of remembrance which were laid at the ceremony. The crosses will be shipped to the soldiers’ grave sites and will be laid there.

Bypass idea meets opposition from Council staff, GM Hans Lovejoy

A renewed push to develop a Byron bypass along the railway track from the police roundabout at Shirley Street to Browning Street has again met resistance from Council staff and general manager (GM) Ken Gainger. In a motion to be tabled this Thursday, Cr Duncan Dey is seeking fellow councillor support for confirmation ‘in a written response from the state government’ that the land will be permanently available ‘within the multimodal rail corridor for such a bypass’, and that the state will fund the provision of that land and the roadworks. It’s an idea initially put forward by Grab The Rail, whose members largely comprise Butler Street residents. They claim they would be adversely affected by the planned bypass on their street and instead call for the rail corridor to be used. The idea not only has support of the Byron chamber of commerce but the recently re-

BRIDGLANDS

leased rail trail study. The ARUP Rail Trail study says, ‘…it is considered likely that a shared corridor could be laid out that meets the needs of both a rail trail and road bypass,’ and, ‘It may also be possible to include both the rail trail, bypass and the proposed Byron Bay Community and Tourist Rail Shuttle within the corridor.’ While acknowledging the changes to current tasks for staff, Cr Dey says it would ‘involve very little expenditure.’

Time passed: GM But GM Ken Gainger says in Council’s upcoming agenda that ‘the time for testing such hypotheses has passed.’ Discussions are well advanced, he wrote, and that ‘all of the requisite boxes have now been ticked and it is believed, based upon recent discussions with the local member and the Roads and Maritime Services (RMS), that a funding announcement for the project is imminent.’ He also added it was ‘somewhat curious’ that the

rail corridor proposal ‘has not been properly and thoroughly canvassed during the 15 years or more of public debate over this project.’

Refuted claims In reply, Grab The Rail’s Paul Jones rejected that the corridor idea had not been canvassed. He told The Echo that the it had ‘been in the public arena for over six years while proposals for utilising the rail corridor have been evident for over 13 years.’ ‘[The Butler Street bypass]

An unprecedented ‘superinjunction order’ has been placed on material exposed by whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks.

is a continuation of a Council staff-led unprincipled rush forward into a damaging, inadequate and legally fraught proposal. The GTR proposal is not solely concerned with “keeping the bypass off Butler Street” but is very much concerned with the overall impacts and possibilities of this major urban design issue for Byron township. ‘We stand ready to assist in any way possible and look forward to working with Council in resolving the rail corridor access and terms as soon as possible.’

If you have nothing to do Thursday August 7, why not enjoy the exciting theatre production being held at the Mullum Council Chambers? Entitled Ordinary Meeting, the political-bureaucratic stage production features performances from both councillors and staff. Guest actors will also appear from 9am in the form of random members of the public via ‘public access’. They will get the chance to play the part of lobbyists, but be warned they can’t ask any questions due to a gag order. So will the mayor’s ambitious plans with the Trans

Big plans for cheesemakers in Ewingsdale rind, Tintenbar Triple Cream Brie, Smooth Feta, Newrybar Semi-hard Cheese, Byron Bay Garlic Co, Black Garlic and Tamarind Jam. The cheeses are made with locally sourced milk and are free from preservatives and stabilisers, and Rhys says he will continue to shop locally.

Notice anything happening at the gateway to Byron Bay on Ewingsdale Road? Anyone driving east into town in the last few months would have noticed work on the property across from the power substation. From the end of this month, The Bangalow Cheese Company will be renaming themselves the Byron Bay Cheese Company. And hopefully by the end of the year, they be ready to move in to their new premises. The company recently purchased the old Flowerdale farm and have christened it ‘The Farm at Byron Bay’. Plans are to eventually house a small enclave, including a cafe/restaurant, woodfired pizza and a bakery as well as the cheese-processing plant and sales in the surrounding paddocks. Head cheesemaker Rhys Burley has been making cheese for about ten years and has been with this outfit for about five. The new location is more accessible to the public, says Rhys, which will allow people to see more of the process. ‘We want to be

Transparent ‘Customers want to know more about their food, where it’s coming from and how it’s made. Down here, it’s exciting for me.

After 30 years, four owners and five premises, Late Nite Video is closing. Lel has been the owner of the business, which is now in the Woolies Plaza, since 2011 after working for the previous owners for 13 years. ‘When Rudi and Christine Rudiger decided they wanted to retire, I decided the Shire couldn’t lose the store and took it over.’ ‘We have one of the best, if not the best, collections of DVDs in Australia’, current owner Lel Sebastian told The Echo. ‘Baz Luhrmann said we’re the best! ‘We have all genres; particularly strong are our directors, foreign, classics, Australian and music sections. ‘Plenty of folk from out of town… Melbourne, Sydney… tell us they’ve never seen a video store like it – not to men-

tion our appreciative locals.’ Lel says it is the number of people hiring has decreasing and the rise of online streaming alternatives, piracy and the internet which has seen a decline in business. ‘These factors are combined with unsustainable overheads. ‘Rent is a biggie.

Former Telstra site up for auction Aug 30 A controversial block of land once ear-marked for community use is up for sale. Located next to Mullumbimby Woolworths, the former Telstra site was bought in 2008 for $461,000 by Council, but is known to have contamination issues. Its purchase is entwined with residents’ opposition to Woolworths in 2008, and came under fire from conservatives as being an irresponsible gesture aimed at blocking Woolworths from expanding. At the time, Greens mayor Jan Barham pushed for its purchase, ‘following an appeal by the Mullumbimby community.’ ‘The community has suggested a farmers market and council is looking for a site for affordable housing,’ said

A good week for coal and corruption Michael McDonald

Volume 29 #08

August 5, 2014

The Danes are great The current federal political approach to solving social problems is akin to whacking a dog on the nose with a rolled-up newspaper when it misbehaves. It may be effective in the short term but it hardly inspires the dog to trust you and does not establish desirable behavioural patterns. (You can also expect your paper to be thoroughly chewed when you leave the room.) The model for the government’s approach, if not based on the industrial relations paradises created by Rupert Murdoch and Gina Rinehart, seems to come from our great pal, the United States of Amnesia. There the downtrodden are kept in penury, if not in jail, by a punishing social welfare system which can vary in cruelty from state to state, depending on local laws. The perils of this approach can be seen from the impact of the crippling reparations payments imposed on Germany after World War I. The penniless nation found someone to blame – chiefly the Jews – and solace in the fiery rhetoric of one Adolf Hitler. Why stick to this model when it usually ends in tears all round? Vested interests, I guess. A little research would seem to show there are better options. Take the Danes, for example. They’ve again topped the World Happiness Report commissioned by the UN. Now this report may be a conspiracy by socialist forces keen on toppling our glorious democracies or the Danes just have a genetic advantage, but I suspect the stated reasons for their infuriating tendency to happiness are more on the mark. These include free university education – Baby Boomers, Joe Hockey, remember that? – a working environment which encourages flexibility and autonomy, and a social security system which supports its citizens, rather than taking them off the dole for six months if they’re under 30 and happen to lose their job. My goodness, the Happiness Research Institute of Copenhagen even reports that Danes have ‘the highest level of trust’ in the world. This may seem strange, but if you trust people to get on with their work and give them the flexibility to do it in their own way, then you end up with a society which is more content. Who would have guessed? It probably also helps that the Danes are not so bombarded as we are by the American exemplar of consumerism and fast food, and that their ancestors were warrior Vikings rather than subservient convicts, but you get the drift. So would it hurt if we looked to Denmark for a new paradigm in social modelling? Adopting its evangelical Lutheranism (apparently practised by 80 per cent of the population) may not be the way to go, but it certainly wouldn’t hurt our government to do a little more research before it imposes top-down social plans which even their business comrades find impracticable. In the meantime, why wait for our politicians to get their excrement together? Throw away your chewed-up newspaper, pat the dog on the head and go visit the Happiness Institute at www.thehappinessinstitute.com. Check out their ‘9 Things to Remember When You’re Having a Bad Day’. If you can survive nine platitudes in one day, then you’re well on your way to a better life. Michael McDonald

‘The job of a newspaper is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.’ – Finley Peter Dunne 1867–1936

ustralia may now be ‘open for business’, as our prime monster Tony Abbott remarked, but soon there may be no decent parts of Australia left to do business on. While successive Australian governments have placed a laudable emphasis on a sound economy, none has seemed to grasp fully that a human economy, even the particularly dodgy one trading trillions in invisible commodities, is not possible without a natural environment healthy enough to sustain all this frantic, ant-like activity. A case in point is the federal government’s recent cavalier approval of the massive Carmichael Mine west of Rockhampton in Queensland, covering 200 square kilometres and producing about 60 million tonnes of coal a year. The project will also see the coal extracted sent by train to Abbot Point Port, and then shipped out through the Great Barrier Reef. While the world’s smart economies are busy mining sunshine – and even Australia employs more people in solar industries than in coal, according to a report by The Australia Institute (http://bit. ly/solarjobsTA) – the LibNats continue to help out their donor mates in the coal trade and their dodgy counterparts from overseas. Assurances of ‘strict environmental conditions’ on the approval by environment minister Greg Hunt are unlikely to placate anyone apart from the feeble-minded who believe in the sanctity of a

The US Occupy Democrats home truth can apply equally to other nations, including our own.

government minister’s promises. Alarm bells are immediately set off by the passage of coal-laden ships past our World Heritage coral and Nemo-style piscine beauty, but the trouble begins even before the coal gets to the port. The Independent Expert Scientific Committee (IESC) on coal seam gas and large coal mining developments has expressed its concerns about the impact of the mine on groundwater in the underlying and nearby Great Artesian Basin. According to an ABC report, the committee had ‘little confidence’ in much of the modelling used by Indian developer Adani ‘and highlighted gaps in its data’. And then to send the coal off to sea, to support India’s coal-fired power plants, Adani will need to dump up to three million cubic metres of sand and mud dredged from the sea bed to add new

terminals and ship berths to its Abbot Point facilities. And now to Adani itself, founded in 1988 by its chairman, Gautam Adani, a former diamond broker and commodity trader whose personal wealth is estimated at $US5.5 billion by Forbes magazine (forbes.com/profile/gautam-adani). Its record on environmental matters in India is regarded as less than pristine. Australian activist group GetUp! has weighed into that record with a punishing video on YouTube – see http://bit.ly/ adaniexpose. GetUp! has also claimed that someone from a subsidiary company of Adani had YouTube remove the video at one stage, claiming an earlier copyright of the material – see Peter Hannam’s story on SMH at http://bit.ly/ smhHannam. The Adani Group has been accused of both environmental destruction and

corrupt behaviour in India. Greenpeace Australia has a PDF available of the Indian investigations, complete with links to relevant references – http://bit.ly/INDreport. As our own government seems not to have done due diligence on Adani’s history of behaviour, what hope can the average punter have to protect national treasures such as the Great Artesian Basin and the Great Barrier Reef? While we do not have a nation’s ability to apply economic sanctions, the banks which finance big deals such as the Carmichael Mine are becoming increasingly sensitive to public opinion. For example, in May this year Deutsche Bank pulled out of financing the Abbot Point coal port expansion, given the World Heritage Committee’s concerns about the Great Barrier Reef. Interestingly, in the same week as the Carmichael approval, WikiLeaks released details of a Victorian Supreme Court suppression order issued on June 19 over allegations of corruption in a case involving Australian executives and overseas business dealings. Under the order, the Australian media cannot report on it. The alleged reason for the government seeking the order was ‘to prevent damage to Australia’s international relations’. Could that also include ‘to protect business deals currently in the works’? The list of players allegedly involved is formidable but you can’t read about it here, even if you think it is ‘in the public interest’.

Letters Fate of koalas As I read David Lovejoy’s editorial (Echo, July 29) concerning the route for stage 10 of the Pacific Highway upgrade and the concern of the koala colony that exists on the approved route, I was thinking if it’s cheaper to build and maintain rail lines, then why is there the push for this upgrade? Surely the amount of money it would take to fix the infrastructure on the Casino to Murwillumbah branch line and put a light rail service on would have to be a lot less. The research on this subject has found rail is cheaper than roads to build and maintain. If the highway upgrade is to go ahead why can’t the RMS go through the canefields instead of decimating the Blackwall Range wildlife corridor and the koala colony? Like David wrote, extinction is forever. I’m writing to minister for environment Greg Hunt (mp@aph.gov.au) to intervene on behalf of the koalas. Paul Brecht Mullumbimby Q Anyone who saw the report on 7.30 NSW with Quentin Dempster on Friday night should be horrified and moved to even stronger urgent action to protect Ballina’s remaining core koala colony residing in sclerophyll forest around the Blackwall Range and Meerschaum Vale area. It is an extremely sad indictment that ecologist Dr Steve Phillips resigned some months ago from advising the

Better ideas needed on paid parking Thank you, David Sweet and the BBCA, for your pertinent questions last week about the proposed paid parking for Byron’s CBD. It is very important that Council guarantee to use additional funds raised to maintain Byron’s community facilities, or provide additional parking facilities, and be held accountable for the guarantee. I also agree, as many residents do, with your last paragraph that locals need to be exempt from any extension to paid parking for the reasons you stated. Yvonne Jessup Byron Bay

Q I’m

disappointed and annoyed at the proposal to introduce paid parking into Byron Bay streets, and possibly reduce some of the current

Roads & Maritime Service as his expert advice was falling on deaf ears. Coupled with this, the RMS seems to have a preference for canefields, not koalas. The RMS plans to go ahead and move the koalas to the other side of the highway. Way too simplistic. It just doesn’t work like that. It would seem a sure-fire way of wiping out these remaining colonies. Sally Freeman-Greene Byron Bay

Perils of renting Well said, Tony Parker (Letters, July 15)! About half of

four-hour parking areas to 1–2 hours. Byron Bay residents already put up with the impact of the tourist industry – holiday-let issues, traffic, loss of community amenity. Now it’s suggested that we should pay $2 an hour for the privilege of being able to park in our own town. I live too far to walk into town and don’t ride a bicycle, but I go into town almost every day – for work, shopping, library, post office etc. Often I want to stay longer than an hour – meeting friends for coffee or lunch, seeing a movie, browsing in the local boutiques, in which case I park in one of the four-hour Lawson Street car parks – free for residents with parking vouchers (for which we pay $25 a year) or the Woolies Plaza car park. Parking in both will be-

come impossible if paid street parking is introduced as everyone will just go there to avoid paying. As the Woolies Plaza is a private lot it’s also subject to the owner deciding to impose time limits or charges at any time. Council’s proposal further suggests that because those streets that adjoin paid parking areas will also be overrun by people trying to avoid paying, they might introduce some kind of resident-preferred status. Where would that leave people who don’t live in those streets but often park there now if they want to park for more than 1–2 hours? Council’s info sheet used examples of other places with paid parking in the CBD, including Brisbane, a capital city, and several Gold Coast

any nominally ‘affordable’ rental landlords do not declare the rental income and will not sign Centrelink rent assistance forms. Accountants of wealthier landlords tell them not to; less affluent landlords dare not jeopardise their paltry pension or family benefit incomes. A conservative estimate of 2013 Echo ads came to over $5 million a year of undeclared rental income from ‘permanent’ rentals in Byron Shire. Centrelink tenants would otherwise be entitled to up to $3,000 a year of rent assistance, making ‘housing stress’

far too common in a Shire with above-average rental prices and below-average incomes and job opportunities. Tenants dare not complain the electricity is unearthed or rising damp is rotting their hovel, because fifty other people are desperately seeking ‘anywhere’ to call home. Be grateful, peasant! And there’s some chores we want done as well. Yet about half the Echo rentals are genuine incomedeclaring landlords, addressing some of the need for affordable basic homes among the casually employed, sole parents and disabled in the community, even at risk of Council wrath for properly built and maintained

Highly amused While holidaying recently in Brunswick Heads I was amused to read in The Echo a letter from Patricia Warren about a new shelter in South Beach park. Her concerns were about the aesthetics and utility of the shelter. From the holiday-let house, (sorry, Doug and VOHL), where I stayed with my family, I was able to observe the final stages of the project. While we are all entitled to our own view on aesthetics, I can say that as a result of the almost constant use of the shelter from the moment the barriers came down, it would seem that many people have found the shelter to be very useful.

The case for rail Garth Luke’s statement that a low population density is a reason against light rail (Letters, July 29) is poorly considered on many fronts. First, major population centres are all clustered along the line connecting Byron Bay, Mullumbimby, Lismore, Bangalow, Billinudgel (Ocean Shores), Casino, Murwillumbah and many smaller centres. A low regional population density is thus irrelevant when it comes to the majority of the population accessing the line.

Q While the usual justifications and blame-shifting is still being vigorously propagated by the worldwide Israeli propaganda apparatus, it would appear that on the ground Israel has abandoned all pretence of any measured response to the ineffectual Hamas rocket attacks. The civilian death figures in Gaza have reached levels which would indicate that this time Israel has decided to end the standoff once and for all and to hell with the dead children. People who have never bothered to learn the history of the rise and ride of the Jewish State of Israel and its treatment of the native Palestinians are easily distracted by the rationalisation depicting this as some sort of contest of moral values. The actual situation is one of occupation and progressive annexation by a ruthless and vastly superior military power which has inexorably dispossessed the weaker state to an extent that the concept of a ‘two-state-solution’ has become just a political figleaf. In fact numerous Israeli political figures have admitted this reality, and to many of them it has always been the objective.

Palestine is a country under hostile military occupation and as such Hamas (with all its faults) can be categorised as a justified resistance movement – but of course they are Arabs and not to be considered in the same category as say the French in WWII. Tom Tabart Bangalow

continued from page 12 such as Gold Coast and Brisbane, as well as the rapidly expanding Coolangatta international airport, matters and means that we need to connect our rail to the Queensland rail network sooner rather than later or suffer increasing traffic gridlock, particularly in Coastal areas.

Q Has the world gone mad? The prolonged media focus on 300 unfortunate airline passengers who were in the wrong place at the wrong time has distracted the world from Israel’s wilful slaughter in Gaza of far greater numbers of equally innocent people. The Israeli excuse that Hamas fires homemade rockets into Israel is like countering a slingshot with a bazooka. It’s pretty clear to me too that Israeli warnings to residents to depart buildings they intend to destroy is all about real estate: ‘We don’t want to kill you, just to get you off the land that god promised us.’ Israel has been bulldozing Palestinian houses for decades, always thereby making the point that this is ‘our’ land. When I was in Israel in the 1970s the so-called ‘ultra-or-

thodox’ Jews distanced themselves from worldly Zionism in the belief that the return to Zion would come about by an act of god, not by force of arms. The situation now is that these politicised extremist fundamentalists actually call the shots – while being conveniently exempt from military service. They routinely kill and steal land from Palestinians and call themselves ‘settlers’. The comparison with the British invasion of Australia is compelling; the existing populations in both cases are regarded as inferior nuisances to be dispatched one way or another into irrelevance. Barnaby Joyce recently conveyed on Q&A the common notion that the problem is intractable, so complex. Really? All that’s needed is to tell the story from the start. In the beginning the Hebrews departed Egypt and invaded Canaan, slaughtering the inhabitants. ‘This land was promised us by god’, they reassured one another. The old testament reveals that over subsequent centuries god urged them several times to smite their neighbouring enemies from the face of the earth; indeed this is the only

document from ancient times that actively promoted genocide. The psalms are similarly full of chilling images of heaven-assisted vengeance and retribution. These are the documents which the extremist fundamentalists are made to pore over for many years, a 3,000year cycle of self-perpetuating brainwashing. To me the deliberate subjugation of reason to faith is a form of mental illness. What is the difference between a jihadist who proclaims that randomly killing people is a service to god for which he will be rewarded with 40 houris in heaven, and a devout Jew who in anger seriously believes himself to be ‘chosen’ to cleanse the Holy Land, as a reward for which he will later dally with angels and cherubim? Both of them are profoundly nuts and should be treated as such. On a closing note let me ‘thank’ the Israelis; their pathological actions over the past couple of weeks have no doubt generated a thousandjihadists a day around the world, for which the rest of the world will largely pay, not Israel.

Third, population densities do not account for the 1.5 million tourists to Byron Shire each year. Whereas the rail trail proposal is dependent on attracting tourists, the discredited transport study into rail conveniently did not include the five million visitors to the region in their patronage modelling. As well as

this exclusion for local travel, the study ignored the suggestion put forward by Council that rail could ease the burden on roads and communities if tourists could arrive by train. Most of the centres mentioned above are serviced by local bus services. It is connecting between these centres that is the biggest problem.

A train links all these local buses resulting in a much better connected public transport network. In turn this connectivity will likely drive expansion of local bus services as locals and tourists are presented with expanded travel options. Cr Basil Cameron Goonengerry

The fallout from Splendour Q The owners and staff of The

Shop at South Golden Beach wish to congratulate the coordinators of Splendour in The Grass for enlivening the streets of our town with the vibrancy and colour that young people bring. Their behaviour was exemplary and their enthusiasm and joy was infectious. Not only have we benefitted as a small local business but the increased patronage generated bigger orders for all our local suppliers and growers and created muchneeded extra hours and income for our staff. However, even if we were not business owners, we would still appreciate the benefits that events at North Byron Parklands bring to the north of the shire. We could hear the festival over two nights from our shop and home but only outside, and even so it wasn’t offensive. Donna and Denis The Shop South Golden Beach Q I

live in a cosy cabin deep in the hills of Palmwoods, surrounded by unbroken silence, but last weekend, or shall I call it Splendour weekend, I was shocked out of my idyllic existence to hear a party in my front yard. Once I had phoned neighbours to check they weren’t having a party, I was informed by them that it was Splendour and that if I wanted to I could listen to it live on Triple J, to which I replied with expletives removed, ‘Why would I want to listen to it on the radio when it is in my bedroom loud and clear?’ It amazes me that Splendour can be heard all the way from Yelgun to Main Arm; I mean, how loud must it be down there? I have considered going to Splendour, I am thirtyish – so I am not an old grumbler. I just don’t appreciate my peaceful existence disturbed by an auditory assault at bedtime. By all means I hope all my friends enjoyed the music at Splendour but I ask the organisers, is it necessary that it is so loud that it can be heard all the way to Main Arm? Jade Brouwer Main Arm Q North Byron Parklands festivals would have to be a wonderful event for all of Billinudgel, Ocean Shores and

surrounding areas. When the festival is on, people come from all over the country. This promotes our area. Dollars are spent, jobs are created for local businesses and tradesmen. The festival would also attract tourists to the northern rivers for the first time. That in itself would be a positive outcome, as they may not have visited the area before. Many have benefited from the event and look forward to it coming again. Karen Shaw Manager Brims Hardware Billinudgel Q Thanks, Echo, for at least acknowledging there was a noise-spill problem during Splendour in the Grass. The problem is way beyond a mere whinge. This was a serious disturbance for several communities. Let me be fair: Splendour has made significant improvements to traffic management, and apart from one dune campsite, there was little impact in my neighbourhood from yahooing. Splendour’s community manager Neil Johnson deserves a medal for his commitment and genuine concern in trying to deal with the many noise complaints. If only site owners North Byron Parklands showed the same level of concern for local residents we wouldn’t have this problem. And did you know that the police had instructions not to record noise complaints during the festival? I rang the police when I couldn’t get through on the hotline. The nice copper said they had received many complaints but had been told not to record them. He suggested I complain to the council on Monday morning. But you know, it’s so easily fixed: turn down the volume, particularly the bass. If the sound only has to reach the back of the crowd a few dozen metres away, then why does it have to reach Brunswick Heads, Mullum, Main Arm, Mooball? Would it in any way diminish the fun for punters if the sound was contained onsite? Someone in the music industry told me a big problem is the ego and aggression of some band managers and sound crews, who simply ignore requests to turn it down.

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

It’s a case of ‘mine’s louder than yours’. Reminds me of the movie Spinal Tap, where Christopher Guest’s character, Nigel, proudly points to the volume dial and says ‘Goes all the way up to 11’. Should entire communities be held hostage to morons who think like that? Russell Eldridge North Ocean Shores Q From

clearing a space in the forest for our full-moon shakey-leg circa, say, 40 millennia BCE, all the way to Splendour, there has always been a cost. It may have been an ant-nest or a termite colony, all kinds of beetles and bugs, not to mention all the organisms below the limen (ie pre-microscope). With respect to Splendour, there is something missing in the discourse. People seem easily to be persuaded that the entrepreneurs who present these great cultural events (dig it) are mostly inspired by money. Far from it. Like those who organise the Writers Festival, they are inspired by passion, by hospitality, by sharing of culture. This is cultural capital. While empathising with all of us who are concerned with all expressions of the life-force, I would ask people to consider the ephemeral side of the equation. Most of us have memories of performances we attended in our youth. They are very much part of who we are – our identity. Our youth of today are spending hardearned money to partake in their culture. This has to be balanced against what has already been compromised. In the times we live, when all life-forms are potentially under attack (same as it ever was), we have to express life in all its flowerings. Don’t look to the past for wisdom. See it now. There is no way of measuring what is taken away from a music festival – good vibes – memories of a lifetime; an amelioration of the horrors that beset us daily. The Splendour site is on a songline from the bora rings at Wooyung to James Price Point in the Kimberly via Uluru and Kata Tjuta (same route as much of our weather patterns). Rather than detracting from it we are ‘singing it up’. The sufferings of some people will, hopefully, be

outweighed by the joy of a generation. Ownership of land seems to be the right to pay rates and to keep other people off it. Unless, of course, the government wants to put a highway through it or to give access to it for a mining company who, by extreme co-incidence, had a nebulous relationship with the government of the day. Let us not forget, we are living on the land of the original people, and we haven’t paid the rent. ‘Respects to the Bundjalung nation’ doesn’t quite cut it on any level. Jim Nutter Main Arm Q We

residents in the areas surrounding Splendour have endured another onslaught of sleepless nights, traffic jams and yobbos (male and female) littering the streets with their trash, feces and used condoms. In addition, we have had to put up with illegal camping and fires. Complaints are ignored by Splendour and the authorities. Ordinances and restrictions mean nothing. We are told that Splendour brings great economic benefit to the Shire. To whom? Pubs and booze outlets certainly. Not residents. If megafestivals are of such value to the shire, why don’t our rates decrease now that festivals are becoming more and more numerous? The alleged economic benefits come at a great cost to us residents. In all fairness, Splendour should share their immense profits with the community. I suggest a payment of $1,000 per ratepayer in compensation for the egregious (and illegal) disturbance of the peace and loss of amenities. Norm Sanders Ocean Shores Q Thank

you, Splendour, for scaring the living shit out of my 96-year-old neighbour and his 94-year-old wife with your 2am fireworks display. When he asked me what could be done about it, I told him straight – nothing. Talking to Council is like masturbating with a cheese grater and the owners of the festival are back in Sydney, sipping Bollinger. I told him to just roll with it. He can’t spend the rest of his life listening to Sinatra; he’s got to move on and embrace the new stuff. John Sharpe Brunswick Heads

CHESS

by Ian Rogers Play at Byron Services Club, Mon 7pm The ANU Open is usually one of the strongest Grand Prix tournaments of the winter, but the proximity to the Tromso Chess Olympiad – which began on Saturday – cost the traditional Canberra event many of its possible drawcards. In their absence top seed Andrew Brown was expected to have a smooth path to victory, and after the first day was sitting pretty on 4/4. Brown, 22, had convincingly knocked over his main rival Endre Ambrus (in the game given below) and was already a point clear of the field with the final three rounds to play. However, on Sunday morning Brown fell to Jonas Muller, a player who was a rival as a junior but had fallen well behind Brown as the two players reached their 20s. Ambrus then ended Muller’s run and went win for win against Brown until the tournament ended, with the two sharing the 2014 ANU Open title. Although forced to miss the ANU Open, the Australian Open

Olympic team made the most of their early departure from Australia, with three members of the team tying for sixth place in the powerful Politiken Cup in Denmark. 13-year-old Anton Smirnov would have been the most satisfied with his performance since he not only finished ahead of a dozen Grandmasters (and 300 other players) but also secured his third and final International Master result.

16 August 5, 2014 The Byron Shire Echo

The ﬁrst event is the Festival Prelude on Thursday 14 August at 7pm at Bangalow’s A&I Hall. The Prelude has become a tradition that combines Bangalow Music Festival headliners with musicians from the northern rivers region. Presented

by the Bangalow Chamber of Commerce, the Prelude recognises the contribution of Bangalow locals in welcoming the annual Festival. The event matches quality music with a relaxed atmosphere to bring the locals a concert like no other. Tickets for this event are available through eventbrite.com.au, as well as Barebones Art Space and Windhorse Gallery.

In addition to star couple Liebeck and Sales, the husband-and-wife SilverGarburg Piano Duo are returning to the festival after wowing audiences during the 2012 festival. They are undisputedly one of the world’s greatest. The rare opportunity to see and hear the Australian operatic soprano superstar, Lisa Gasteen, stretch her vocal chords will be a concert not to be missed. She has performed in all the major concert and opera halls of Europe; to be able to hear her in the A&I Hall of Bangalow is a major opportunity.

Byron Shire Echo archives: www.echo.net.au

BANGALOW This year will also see the introduction of musical fight club! The Southern Cross Soloists will take on awardwinning jazz ensemble, Trichotomy along with local northern rivers jazz chanteuse Leigh Carriage in a new work that mirrors the music from each style. A duel to the death perhaps…or more likely a fascinating blend of styles brought together by world-class musicians. Other incredible artists include conductor SarahGrace Williams, flautist Emma Scholl, violinist Sophie Rowell, the White Halo Ensemble, The Bangalow Fellowship Quartet, Paul Dean and many more. 2014 also marks the first year of a new initiative by Southern Cross Soloists: The Bangalow Music Festival Quartet Fellowship program. The program gives a young aspiring string quartet an opportunity to perform at a high-level music festival, among leading professional soloists and chamber musicians. This initiative fills a void in the arts industry, that is, opportunities for young groups on the cusp of professional careers. Making the jump from student to professional is incredibly difficult.

Psoriasis is a hereditary condition and may lie dormant for years until it is triggered. There are many well-known primary triggers that can activate the condition; however, here must be some secondary factors that cause the condition to continue. For that reason Dr Michael Tirant has undertaken research to identify other variables that can aggravate the condition, and numerous secondary triggers – diet, chemical, hormone and lifestyle related – have been identified. Dr Tirant’s treatment protocols focus on combating these triggers in combination with the topicals and oral medication that he has developed. His protocols have been so successful that dermatologists in Austria, Germany, Hungary, Czech Republic and Russia are currently using them. A number of international clinical trials have confirmed the excellent results achieved in Australia. To all frustrated psoriasis sufferers: ‘Do not give up hope. There is NO quick fi x or cure but I know we have the treatment protocols that will help you clear up your skin,’ Dr Tirant said. Other skin conditions that are also successfully treated at the Good Skin Clinic includes eczema, acne, rosacea, dermatitis, ichthyosis, psoriatic arthritis and nail / fungal infections.

Now help is at hand. Barry Donnelly CM ND WHM N is Dr Triant’s representative in the northern rivers area. For further information, call 1300 596 566, email barry@feelinggr8.net, or visit our website: www.goldcoast. goodskincare.com.au.

Thinking about training for the Lighthouse Run? HERE ARE SOME TIPS ON HILL RUN TRAINING. Hill running has a strengthening effect as well as boosting power and speed. To reduce the possibility of injury, hill training should only be conducted by someone who has a good base of strength and endurance. What it does for you In hill running, you use your body weight as a resistance to push against, so the driving muscles from which your leg power is derived have to work harder. The technique to aim for is a ‘bouncy’ style where you have a good knee lift and maximum range of movement in the ankle. You should aim to drive hard, pushing upwards with your toes, flexing your ankle as much as possible, landing on the front part of the foot and then letting the heel come down below the level of the toes as the weight is taken. Th is stretches the calf muscles upwards and downwards as much as possible and applies resistance, which overtime will improve your power and elasticity. You should look straight ahead as you run (not at your feet) and ensure your neck, shoulders and arms are free of tension. Many experts believe that the ‘bouncy’ action is more important than the speed at which the athlete runs up the hills. Hill work results in the calf muscles learning to contract more quickly and thereby, generating work at a higher rate, they become more powerful. The calf muscle achieves this by recruiting more muscle fibres, around two or three times as many when compared to running on the flat. The ‘bouncy’ action also improves the power of the quads in the front of the thigh as they provide the high knee lift that is required. Th is can all contribute to higher running speeds and shorter foot-strike times. Hill training offers the following benefits: • helps develop power and muscle elasticity • improves stride frequency and length • develops co-ordination, encouraging the proper use of arm action during the driving phase and feet in the support phase • develops control and stabilisation as well as improved speed (downhill running) • promotes strength endurance • develops maximum speed and strength (short hills) • improves lactate tolerance (mixed hills). The benefits of short, medium and long hills are quite different, and can be used at different times of the year.

When it comes to creating inhumane policy for the underprivileged the Liberal government is achieving unprecedented excellence. I mean once you’ve defended the imprisoning of unaccompanied minors and children in detention, traded boatloads of refugees for cricket bats, where do you go to land a few more kicks into the marginalised? Being in charge is jolly good fun, and after a few scotches and cigars in the gentlemen’s club (Julie waits outside) there’s nothing like coming up with some new ideas to make life for the people with the hardest lives even harder. What’s the point of being privileged if there isn’t an underclass screaming in pain?

40 Jobs in 40 Days It’s clear that the inner sanctum of the Liberal Party is getting very creative in their effort to deliver a truly divided Australia.

Take the newest proposal for the members of our community on Newstart. These 720,000 bloodsucking parasites are living on a massive $225.25 a week (single rate). Considering the average rent and electricity is at least $200 a week per person, these maggots, these bloody profiteers of the tax dollar, are whooping it up with the $25.25 a week. Hang on, they still have to buy food. And clothes. And travel. And now, buy up to 40 stamps a week for the 40 jobs they are now being asked to apply for each month. When you consider that unemployment figures don’t take into account anyone who works one hour a week, we need to take into account the underemployed. That’s another 920,000.

FROM THE VOICE TO MULLUM Anyone who lives locally would have heard of Gabriel and Cecilia, the brother-and-sister duo who hail from the ridiculously talented Brandolini family. It’s got the rest of us thinking that if that’s the legacy of a good Steiner upbringing, then I’m switching the iPad for a felt pad. Now, after their recent national profile as finalists on The Voice, and under the tutelage of Will.i.am, they proved themselves to be impressive contenders on a much bigger stage. The brother-and-sister duo present their triumphant return-home concert at the Mullum Civic Hall this Saturday. Expect a colourful array of instruments including piano, bass, ukulele, guitar and viola. They impress with stunning vocal skills, control and range. Gabriel displays a full three-octave range while Cecilia can sing any choice of harmony. 7pm. Tix at the door. Adults $10, kids $5, and family is $25.

GABRIEL AND CECILIA AT THE MULLUM CIVIC HALL ON SATURDAY

So we have 1,640,000 applicants for what in May was 146,000 job vacancies. Oops. That doesn’t quite work. It still leaves us 1,494,000 unemployed and underemployed people still looking for work. Applying for 40 jobs a month is degrading. Especially when you are facing 40 knockbacks. Put that in a Centrelink year, and one person living below the poverty line, with constantly diminishing self-esteem and access to the kind of things that might make them more employable, such as a phone, a car, and a pair of pants, will have been rejected a total of 480 times. That’s 480 letters, phone calls and emails all saying No. Your constant rejection is what our government requires to validate your authenticity as an unemployed person. Clearly the simple maths of jobs available versus jobseekers is not proof enough.

people don’t want to live a marginalised life of struggle, depression and alienation. Consider also that as a stamp costs 70 cents, and that most applications are by mail, a person needs an extra $28 minimum for postage costs alone. I don’t know the last time someone in Tony Abbott’s Cabinet got a job they didn’t brown-nose for, but out here in the real world, a single high-quality job application can take up to a week to prepare.

Fortunately there has been some outrage about the proposal that the government is listening to. Of course it’s not the grumbling of the millionplus Newstart recipients. It’s from the business sector, who are complaining that the influx of unwanted job applications is going to drown them in an avalanche of paperwork. That’s over 787 million applications going out nationwide over a 12-month period. Maybe the business sector could employ at least 100,000 of those Newstart applicants in jobs that speGenerally most people want to work, cifically deal with rejecting unwanted because given the choice, most applicants.

They join forces for a Method gig at the Nimbin Hotel on Friday and the Channon Tavern on Sunday.

GETTING BACK UP It is more than two years since Mike McClellan decided to return to writing, recording and performing full time after a twenty-year hiatus. His decision has been greeted with enormous enthusiasm from fans right around the country. With the release of If Only For a Moment in 2012, Mike went back on the road. In Perth and Brisbane they gave him a standing ovation. That album confirmed that he had lost nothing during his years away from the business. Indeed many have said he is singing and playing better than ever. Mike plays at the Byron Theatre, Friday 15 August.

Or better still, maybe people on Newstart having to fulfill these humiliating, degrading and ludicrous criteria for the privilege of living in poverty could instead direct their 40 applications a month to our minister for employment Eric Abetz. Why not have a crack at being on his staff, cleaning the toilets, driving his limo, licking his suit clean? You know if you write to a minister, they have to acknowledge it and send a return letter. So, if you are keen on some new life opportunities, in our federal capital, address job applications to Eric Abetz, Minister for Employment, MG 68, Ministerial Wing, Parliament House, ACT 2600.

SHARING HOUSE IS TOPS

Enjoy a night with a live latin band, Oz Latin Brothers. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right, break out the satin and join Robert and Layla, who will glide you around the dancefloor, sharing the moves and the grooves that will have people gasping, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;where did you learn to latin?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; We may have stopped learning to speak Latin with our mouths, but that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean our bodies canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep up one hell of a conversation. 6pm salsa lesson and 7pm time to hit the floor, Bangalow Bowlo. Tix are $20 presale or $25 at the door on the night.

Ku Promotions are proud to present Topology, who are touring their latest album Share House. An â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;instrumental operaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, Share House follows five dysfunctional bandmates sharing a dishevelled flat and interwoven life, full of warmth, fun and unrequited love. The housemates make their squalor bearable through making music, but they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ignore it forever.

TEA FOR THE HULSMAN This black-sheep son of a preacher family has found a new flock in his ministry as a musician. Tim Hulsman heard gypsy jazz at age five and his life changed. When he let his folks know he wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be continuing life as a Jehovahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Witness, he was promptly excommunicated. The experience of seeing Tim Hulsman play live these days is often enhanced by the presence of his partner Nina Gran (Mantissa/Killing Time). Her expressive vocals and beautiful guitar and piano playing are a perfect accompaniment to both Timâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s voice and songs. He plays the Sheoak Shack on Saturday from 3pm.

Stars

With Mercury joining the Sun and Jupiter in the sign of the Lion, this week expresses via Leonine memes: passion, extravagance, creativity and drama…

E ARIES: This flammable week requires careful vetting of spoken and written words concerning love, money or professional direction. Mars in the sign of tempestuous intensity makes graceful negotiating your most useful social tool – we’re talking the arts of seductive requesting, compliance without sulks and humorous conflict resolution. F TAURUS: With family, relations and community operations topping this week’s activity list, the home zone offers the most fun. And challenges, should stubbornness become a stumbling block. Being flexible will stretch you to let in extra affection, plus more tangible tokens of appreciation in the form of gifts or windfalls. G G EMINI: This week gives your problemsolving abilities a boost, but don’t use all this excellent juice fixing the dripping tap and figuring out your tax – have a go at unravelling knottier issues. Keep conversations positive by expanding from close focus of personal concerns to a bigger, more inclusive picture.

H CANCER: August’s astral focus is on money, honey. Finances, funds, budgets, all things fiscal. Meaning that extra attention to cutting excess spending and resisting impulse buying will ultimately pay off. Have you overlooked something that could be turned into a profitable enterprise? Is frugal indulgence actually possible? I L EO: Feel like your year’s just getting started? Astrologically speaking it is, after seven months in the shadow zone. Now the astral spotlight’s on you, Cat Majesties, so check your intentions before speaking in the public arena this week: What do you hope to achieve? Whom will it help? J V IRGO: While there’s plenty of dramatic happenings on this week’s external stage, yours play in the theatre of the interior, with the storyline of kissing something goodbye in order to move forward. Give it a stylish sendoff, and don’t let an ideal get in the way of what’s actually available.

Mungo’s Crossword 1

N030 6

K L IBRA: Boldness is your friend this week as over-the-top Jupiter enlarges your social circle with an overflowing cornucopia of invitations – which make it difficult to balance socialising with family time and work commitments. Set outside opinions aside if necessary, in favour of your own inner prompts. L SCORPIO: While this week fires you up with a feeling of takeoff, astral advice is to be thorough rather than rush for results. Saturn in Scorpio’s about taking responsibility, and the way you interact with others will directly affect the kind of support and backing you attract. M S AGITTARIUS: This week greenlights your visionary, big-picture perspective, but flashes a red on overreaching, especially during midweek Sagittarius moon – which also triggers a cautionary amber warning to refrain from comment on what isn’t your business. Savviest strategy? Planning ahead, rather than winging it in trad Sagg fashion.

THE GODDESS IS TALKING

21 22

I would describe my driving style… as ‘Kamikaze parker’.

If I were a goddess… I would be Fantasia, Goddess of Unrealistic Expectations, Hopeless Romanticism and an Unkempt Home.

One of the biggest lie we women swallow is… that if we ask for our emotional needs to be validated, met or respected then we’re needy. We’re human beings for goddesses’ sake, of course we have needs. What’s wrong with that?

Women are most competitive… when they’re after something they really want… I guess we all are.

16 17

Inside every woman… there is a full cast of archetypes, all dying to run the show.

Men don’t understand women because… sometimes they think there is one generic woman to understand…

N CAPRICORN: As Jupiter in your house of combined finances makes friends a mix of endearing and interfering this week, remember everything’s flexible. Feelings and possibilities, options and perspectives alter. Power shifts, friendships change, careers rearrange. Day by day what seems like a disaster can morph into a new opportunity. O AQUARIUS: This week’s cosmic soap opera features rivals and allies, and asks: do you have the creative ingenuity to turn competitors into colleagues? Despite the variety of appealing ideas and expansive plans, be wary of overblown offers – if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. P P ISCES: Brilliant business opportunities are available, so get on board with new ways of operating. If efficiency and practicality don’t instantly appeal, treat them as a glamorous makeover. And use this body-centred week to appreciate the kindness of your physical vehicle, despite how hard you drive it.

R H E T T

28 August 5, 2014 The Byron Shire Echo

If women ruled the world… well, I’d like to think compassion and co-operation would matter… But then when you look at women such as Margaret Thatcher, I think it’s more a systemic change that’s needed! When I am in my power… I do stuff such as write and perform. It’s my great love. The times when I lose it… are usually over the small things. I cope with a big crisis, but then I lose my keys for 20 minutes and I go hysterical. My epitaph will read: ‘Here lies Louise, but where are her freakin’ keys?’

If I could change one thing about myself… it would be to stop taking rejection (real and perceived) so deeply to heart. Shopping is… fun if it’s for clothes or shoes (that’s the Aphrodite archetype in me). Otherwise it’s something I’d rather not do. If I could change one thing in the world… it would be the monetary system. It’s the cause of all our problems, especially war. My mother always said… ‘Oh I didn’t worry about it, I just got on with it!’ at the end of every story of hardship from her life. She’s the antithesis of today’s culture where we workshop every feeling. I can’t imagine my mum attending a personaldevelopment course… She’d tell everyone to pull themselves together, repress everything and soldier on. Thank the goddesses that stoicism’s out of fashion – I wouldn’t last a minute.

“This is a provocative, imaginative fantasy, gothic at times + totally enchanting........ Bravo! Just go, you’ll love it!”

Goddesses and archetypes are even more relevant today because… after a few thousand years of patriarchy, we’re catapulting toward environmental destruction owing to our desire to conquer nature, so it’s time for something new. We need masculinity rather than patriarchy, which acknowledges that femininity is an equal part of the equation. This is the message of the goddesses I think.

Sex… (or the promise of it) is a great motivator. I’m hoping that by doing this show I’ll get laid. I’ll be really pissed off if I don’t.

ENTERTAINMENT movie is a heartening reminder of the power of words before the contagion of puerile texting). Khan effortlessly evinces the quiet yearning of loneliness, Kaur is captivating as the young wife awakening to her entrapment, while Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s Shaikh, Saajan’s underling, provides levity and an outsider’s hard-earned clarity.

By John Campbell

THE LUNCHBOX If you have ever been to Mumbai you will be familiar with the army of dhaba-wallahs who distribute meals (usually homemade) to office workers throughout the city. Their daily ritual is a miracle of precise organisation. Ritesh Batra’s beautiful film begins with the unthinkable – a lunch prepared for her husband by Ila (Nimrat Kaur) arrives at the desk of Saajan (Irrfan Khan), the wrong recipient. He scribbles a thank-you

note in the empty dhaba to a woman he has never met. Housebound, with only an (unseen) aunty upstairs for company and advice, Ila replies and their correspondence gradually becomes more intimate and secretive. It is a simple story, but timeless and tender. Batra’s approach is unhurried and meticulous, but his most beguiling sleight of hand is achieved through a subtle juggling of time and place. This is modern India, with peak-hour commuters, traffic jams and all of the stresses of our technological age, but, despite it being post the advent of email, Saajan’s TUESDAY 5 AUG busy office is strictly paper to WEDNESDAY and pen and bulging files 13 AUG and calculators – there is not a computer in sight. It’s this humdrum regimentation that makes Saajan’s stultified world so ripe for the seed of fancy – and it also dispels any lingering doubt that handwritten communication might still be relevant (if nothing else, the NOW SHOWING

Best of all is the ending – Batra sets it up with subtle plot turns but leaves it to you and your own imagination to determine what happens. Life is never clearcut, after all. Hurry to see this before it is replaced by glamorous guns and super-heroes – it doesn’t hurt to be reminded of our shared humanity, of how wonderful our day-today existence can be on this sad little planet.

LUCY On the morning before I saw this film I received an image on my Facebook newsfeed. It was of Gaza. An old Arab man, wailing in despair, was holding something aloft for the camera to capture – for the world to see. It was the corpse of a child, charred black from an explosion. Her legs had been blown off. It reminded me of the photograph of that little Vietnamese girl running naked from her village – terrified and uncomprehending – after it had been scorched and obliterated by napalm. Tears welled in my eyes. When will it ever end?

beyond salvation among an audience that cheerily guzzled jumbo Cokes and stuffed their faces with popcorn as Scarlett Johansson ever so sexily blasted the brains and guts out of the bad guys in yet another sci-fi blockbuster, I could not help but wonder … what has caused the disconnect between the reality of carnage and the mindless consumption of it as entertainment? Scarlett plays Lucy (she’s back to being a blonde) who, after an abduction scene that involves a display of panting and whimpering that is embarrassing even by amateur theatre standards, is forced to be a drug mule for a really nasty Oriental crook. The contraband chemical (it resembles the blue meth that Jessie and Walt manufactured in Breaking Bad) turns her into a super-powered, omnipotent, timetravelling, god-like hornbag. Morgan Freeman is in the mix doing his usual wise-old-codger thing and Amr Waked, as the tough detective, is a sort of French Jason Statham (you can’t go wrong with a stubbled stereotype). There is probably meant to be a reference in the title to the Beatles’ classic song from Sgt Pepper’s, but if that is the case it’s only a desperate act of self-glorification. As for director Luc Besson’s pretentiousness and insistence on tarting up psycho-babble as profundity, his lamentable movie is in the same league as Terrence Malick’s risible The Tree of Life.

A few hours later, sitting joyless and bored

LA TRAVIATA The Paris Opera production of La Traviata screens at Palace Byron Bay Cinema at 1pm on Sunday August 10 and 11am Wednesday August 13. ‘Poor Mariette Duplessis is dead… the first woman I ever loved, and now she’s in goodness knows which cemetery, abandoned to the maggots of the sepulchre! It’s as she said to me fifteen months ago: “I won’t live: I’m a strange girl and I won’t be able to keep living a life I don’t know how to lead and that I don’t know how to bear either”.’ Thus spoke Franz Liszt of Marie d’Agoult, the unforgettable ghost of the woman who would become the Dame aux Camellias in Alexandre Dumas Fils’ play La Dame Aux Cameìlias. However it was Giuseppe Verdi who would give her immortality in his remarkable masterpiece La Traviata, one of the opera repertoire’s most striking portraits of a woman at once cruel and sublime.

MONTY PYTHON LIVE (MOSTLY) – ONE DOWN, FIVE TO GO Monty Python rightfully hold a place amongst the world’s finest-ever comedians, influencing a generation and revolutionising comedy on their way to greatness. ‘You can expect a little comedy, a lot of pathos, a lot of music and a tiny bit of ancient sex… and maybe some crossdressing.’ The historic last night of the Monty Python Live (mostly) show from London’s 02 concert arena is to be broadcast in cinemas across Australia, including Palace Byron Bay on Wednesday August 6 at 8pm and Saturday August 9 at 11.30am.

Quick fix Matthew Michaelis When I first became a member of the northern rivers residents’ club, I found myself wide awake at 5am every day. At the time I ignored the fact. I’d sit on an old cane rocking chair and rev it up to a rock that only Mick Jagger could move to. This wasn’t a sleep disorder, or the upshot of a colicky newborn (with five kids, I surely know the difference). No, it was the result of a deep addiction to inner-city coffee and I was soon looking for an early opener for a quick fix. Thirty years living in the inner west of Sydney had me decidedly hooked on the brown bean. I’d watched the small peninsula of Balmain and surrounding suburbs from a cafe seat, while chronic ‘renos’ and up-market caffeine joints had me playing musical chairs.

Like Goldilocks and her fussy oat habit, I’d look at the brew served me and I’d find myself thinking ‘too cold’… ’too strong’… ’not silky enough’ and rarely… ’just right’. The ensuing influx of the young and wealthy to my rustic working-class suburb was taking its toll. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not against successful folk, it’s just the way some of them slurp up the atmosphere and the coffee with a special superiority. Anyhow, it had me move far away where the grid-locked sports cars couldn’t run me down. Coffee addiction is real and living comfortably in a bloodstream near you. It’s a wild ride, albeit one that exists entirely in your own veins. Like an overbearing judging panel on a TV food show, the caffeine zombie goes forth, picking over the grounds of every little cafe,

reporting back to locals over slow weekend dinner parties. All-in-all, I’m envious of those who can sleep in on a Sunday morning.

Got kids? Yes? So do I, and looking around I would have thought that more business owners would see the benefit in providing for the little folk. These midgets are the future of the cafe set and after all, they’ll be taking over in a few years and the smart food outlets will have endeared themselves to both the parents and their heirs. I think I’ve eaten, drunk and sipped many more times in the Poinciana Cafe in Mullumbimby than in any other cafe in the area. Vittoria coffee is fresh (good turnover of customers keeps it that way) and generally well made. I admit the service can be a little frantic at times but it’s friendly and real. Ironically, the old 80s song Don’t you want me baby? was playing as I entered with my two-year-old toddler for brekkie. My boy quickly disappeared (though not from sight). The sandpit is just the ticket. Little Johnny or Nancy are quickly up to their ears in play friends for hours of entertainment, sand from sock to bum crack. Enough time for me to write these words in fact. Of course, if you’re a parent who’s been on the other end of the owner’s scowl, you’ll

A blend of Shiraz (50%), Grenache (37%) and Mourvedre (13%), this wine is raring to go now, or you can cellar until 2019. Bright fruit notes are softened by the savoury character of the Grenache, leading on to a beautifully soft finish. Worth a buy.

Hint: Sticky date pudding freezes very well; once the pudding is cooked, allow it to cool before placing it in a plastic freezer bag (without the butterscotch sauce).

Carson’s glib analysis As much as I loathe the works of Bush, Blair, Reagan, and Howard in Iraq, the article by Kevin Carson which appeared in The Echo of July 29 is as unbalanced and shallow, as glib and deceptive, and as false as their analysis and public statements. To take Carson seriously is to join an easy chorus of critics. It is a chorus of self-deceit. Let us roll through Iraq’s history and the alleged ‘ownership’ of ISIS by an alleged West. Does anyone wish to say the overthrow of the Ottoman Empire was a mistake? Who prefers imperialism? Does anyone wish to say they could, without hindsight, have done a better job of defining borders in the region post WW1? Does anyone wish to say Iraq should not have been constituted strong enough to hold its own against re-invasion by Turkey, or conquest by Syria or Persia? Does anyone wish to say the movement from imperial rule, to monarchy, to pro-fascist movements, to democracy, to Marxism, to coup, to dictatorship, has been handled better everywhere else and throughout history? That politics without tradition is easy? Does anyone wish to say there was no Cold War, or that Stalin should not have been opposed, or that they would prefer to live under the rule of a Marxist dictatorship, and that it was wrong to oppose that movement? Does anyone wish to say the peoples of the Middle East and Afghanistan are children, who cannot make up their own minds about religion or social ques-

tions? That everything that they think and do is someone else’s doing? Carson admits Iraq functioned as a society. It still would but for religious movements. Carson wishes us to believe these movements are somehow ‘western’ creations. Has he never read the texts quoted by the likes of al-Baghdadi and Khomeini? Does anyone wish to pretend the execution and beheading of captives is not exactly what Muhammad practised? What level of arrogance and ignorance claims to know those peoples’ minds? If a repressed majority who rose against oppression – the Shia of southern Iraq – subsequent to gaining majority power via democracy choose to abuse that power, does anyone argue they should not have the right to vote? Carson and his ilk ultimately fantasise without responsibility. That Iraq is a mess is undeniable. That the invasion was a mistake, I would agree. But to impute to every error malign motives, to criticise every past decision as if there were obviously better alternatives, or even any alternatives, and to pretend that the actors in the conflict are creations, rather than intelligent human beings making sincere decisions based on their cultural backgrounds and religious impulses, is callow, shallow, and erroneous. This is Iraq’s war. We had ours. Give thanks for the culture we have, but remember it took a lot of blood to get here. Matt Hartley

Be ready for the burp The isotope carbon-12 forms 98.93 per cent of the carbon on Earth, while carbon-13 forms the remaining 1.07 per cent. The concentration of carbon-12 is further increased in biological systems because biochemical reactions discriminate against carbon-13. During both the Permian Extinction (250 million years ago) and the PETM Extinction (55 MYA) there was a substantial decrease of carbon-13 which can only be plausibly explained by massive release into the ocean and atmosphere of biological carbon stored in shallow marine and land sediments. The obvious source is the selfaccelerating melting of methane clathrate permafrost initiated by a global warming trigger, such as is now occurring with carbon dioxide emissions. Methane may bubble out progressively or undergo sudden pressure release, potentially causing very large tsunamis. The massive/rapid release of methane causes massive/rapid global warming and consumption of atmospheric and oceanic oxygen with the oxidation of methane forming carbon dioxide. Such a ‘methane burp’ could occur any time now. The oxidation may occur gradually or explosively via detonation of methane clouds with associated enormous shock waves.

Massive/rapid warming causes collapse of food chains and habitat (eg, no more Big Macs and no more McDonald’s). Hypercapnia is a condition of abnormally elevated carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the blood. When carbon dioxide concentration reaches ten per cent, panic, convulsions, and eventually death occurs. Also the coinciding reduction of oxygen concentration causes hypoxia. This results in widespread nearcomplete extinction. Only barrel-chested species with a high lung capacity have a chance of survival, such as occurred in the Permian Extinction. Mutate now, beat the rush! [Retallack et al, Geo. Soc. Am. Bulletin, 2003]. In short, carbon dioxide is the trigger and methane is the bullet. What you can do: 1. Get off the grid. Go solar. 2. Eat less than 250g of animals per week. 3. Use a light electric vehicle. 4. Inform politicians and protest against fossil fuel companies. 5. Begin the work to remove excessive carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. 6. Support research into climate engineering to avoid catastrophic arctic methane release. Sapoty Brook Mullumbimby

Red Devils prevail in top of table arm-wrestle Story & photo John Campbell

Bleak and cold and rainy. It was the sort of miserable Sunday that anybody with a modicum of common sense would have spent ensconced in front of the flat-screen watching his collection of John Wayne classics (starting with Rio Grand. But with Byron Bay making their late-season push for the NRRRL title, the true footy tragic had to be at Red Devil Park to see the boys take on Kyogle, fellow contenders who have been riding high on the ladder for longer than most pundits expected. Conditions meant that champagne rugby league might not be on the agenda, but a devoted and ultimately delighted crowd nearing 3,714 witnessed the Bay run out 12–8 winners over a Turkeys outfit that demanded steely resolve from their hosts. Much is written in the sports pages these days about this player or that providing the ‘X-factor’ for a team. Often it is justified, but there is an ‘X-factor’ that has been

Kamate! Kamate! Byron second-rower James Griffiths works on his haka before applying the Maori sidestep to a Kyogle defender at Red Devil Park on Sunday.

universal since Jesus was playing halfback for Jerusalem – heart. When two sides go at it with total commitment, it is not always just the skill fac-

tor, or the luck of the bounce, or the incomprehensible call of the referee that decides the issue; it is unity and commitment to a shared cause that

makes the difference. This was one tough game of football – the way we like it – and the Devils won because they refused to be

beaten, because they rallied and withstood relentless and sometimes self-inflicted pressure, especially in the second forty, to deny an unstinting opponent. Wet-weather rugby league demands control – possession, field position and a concerted kick-chase are first and foremost in any strategy. It’s not rocket surgery. Kyogle were tuned-in more quickly and scored from a wicked bomb in the fifteenth minute. Well drilled and aggressive, they appeared confident of victory. Byron needed to knock that confidence out of them in a hurry, and they did it through the heavy work of their forwards, led, as always, by Simon ‘Toothless’ Kelly. Backed up by James ‘Buddha’ Griffiths, moved to the second-row, tyros Sam ‘Dolly’ Dwyer and Lachlan ‘Don’t Panic’ Jones – who always play above their weight – and boosted by the return of Chris ‘Jawbone’ Coleman, the pack never took a backward step against a willing mob with a bit of size about them.

Fullback William ‘Peppi’ Goldsmith crossed for an uplifting try, which he converted from wide out, to give Byron the 6–4 lead that they took to the break. Upon the resumption, Leon ‘Russell’ Kelly snaffled a try after a dribbly chip by Thierry ‘Monsieur’ DeThierry and the Devils had breathing space at 12–4. Kyogle looked done. Outclassed, they might have thought about the bus home – but good sides don’t quit so easily. The unspeakable happened and they went in after a glut of possession. With twelve minutes remaining, 12–8 felt precarious at best for the Bay. Unable to control the pill for any length of time, the Devils’ only recourse was to tackle their guts out. They did, and they earned a fantastic triumph. Belief is all. Byron are up against Marist Brothers this Sunday. Get down to Red Devil Park and share the belief with them.

Well we have had it all over the last couple of weeks, from watching surfers being towed in by jet-skis in 4–5m waves, through to absolute glassouts. You just can’t pick the weather at the moment! The winter mulloway continue to provide great sport and even better table fare as the average size landed in the rivers and beaches (by those specifically targeting them) is 10kg+. These fish are all around one metre in length and at this size they are still a schooling fish. Where you get one you can be guaranteed that there are others close by.

Mind you, a 10kg fish is an awesome trophy, but please only take what you will eat and release any additional captures should you be so fortunate to land more than one. The flathead have moved to the upper reaches of the rivers and will be back down in larger numbers in a few months. Big tailor (2kg plus) are being taken off the beaches at late-night high tides. Following the whales, we have sharks cruising around seeking an opportunistic meal. There have been reports of great whites being spotted

around Julian Rocks, and even a juvenile great white of approximately seven foot in length being inadvertently hooked (and subsequently released) from the beach at Lennox last week. Offshore, the snapper are really starting to come on the chew now, as are the leatherjackets, unfortunately. These leatherjackets are a tacklestore owner’s dream as their razor-sharp teeth destroy terminal tackle and ensure fishos make extra trips to the shop to re-stock. On a positive note, the leatherjackets are very easy to clean, and are delicious to eat, having a firm white flesh. It’s not too difficult at the moment to score an easy feed for the family from these fish.

Magic conditions and a picture-perfect course greeted more than 200 golfers who recently took part in the annual Ocean Shores Cup. Competitors came from as far afield as Armidale for the event. Arm-stretching kingfish can be found following hooked fish to the surface on offshore reefs. Have a live bait handy and toss it to the following king and get ready to hold on as they steam straight to the bottom once hooked. Kings of up to 15kg have been landed, with bigger ones unable to be stopped. Doug Benjamin Byron Bay Charters 0400 946 066

The Saturday competition was a 4-Ball Best Ball stableford, with Andrew ‘Ducky’ Smith and Anthony Martin leading the way with a great score of 49 points. The Sunday event was a 4-Ball Aggregate stableford format, meaning each player’s scores counted towards the combined total. With daily and overall prizes valued at more than $4,000 up for grabs, understandably there were some nervous moments and some shaky hands holding putters all over the course. The overall winners, Lew Trudgeon and Igor Blumenthal, managed to put their nerves aside and post a great score of 43 points on Saturday and then came home strong

with a great score of 76 on the Sunday. They took home the Ocean Shores Cup and a twonight trip and two rounds of golf at Noosa Springs Resort, who were one of the major sponsors. Richard and Chris Killion were a close second and collected a brand-new Cobra golf bag each. Andrew Smith and Anthony Martin were the winners of the Saturday event, with Val Marsh and Larissa Franks taking out the Sunday event. A fantastic weekend of golf was had by all and it promises to be an even better event next year. S pecial thanks go to Elders Real Estate from New Brighton who were the other major sponsor of the event.

Backlash The cops continue to endear themselves with Mullum folk by running a sniffer dog past the kids at Mullum High and searching pockets of the hapless in the main streets. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an intrusive, relatively pointless and intimidatory tactic. Much more goodwill is to be had by searching the boots of prestige cars from which higher-echelon dealers purvey their nasty products. Q Q Q Q

One of the shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s small-business icons, Late Nite Video in Jonson Street, Byron Bay, is unfortunately closing down â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a chance to peruse their collection of 30,000 DVDs for sale. These include arthouse, cult classics, documentaries, foreign anomalies and family faves. Rentals will run until August 27 and the final day of trade is on Sunday the 31st. We reckon Margaret and David would have given them four stars for service and enthusiasm. Q Q Q Q

After the recent tragic death of a child in Sydney there have been calls to make the 40km/h limit in school zones a 24/7 traffic feature. Backlash can see no harm in that,

tÄ&#x17E;Í&#x203A;Ć&#x152;Ä&#x17E; Ć&#x152;Ä&#x17E;Ä&#x201A;Ä&#x161;Ç&#x2021; Ć&#x161;Ĺ˝ Ć&#x152;Ä&#x17E;Ç&#x20AC;Ĺ?Ä&#x17E;Ç Ç&#x2021;Ĺ˝ĆľĆ&#x152; Ä?Ĺ˝Ĺ˝ĹŹĆ?Í&#x160;

If you wanted a cheap tent, there were dozens of them littering the paddocks of North Byron Parklands after the Splendour bender. Apparently itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cheaper for the little darlings to leave them behind than take extra baggage on the flight back to Sydney or wherever. The youngsters were not too hot on recycling, either, and obviously â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;someone else â&#x20AC;&#x2DC; had to clean up after them.

especially in small country towns where there should be no need for speed. But given so many local drivers hoon along in 5okm/h zones at 80km/h while talking on their phones, it might require a severe re-education program first.

the following quote from R Buckminster Fuller in 1970: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We must do away with the absolutely specious notion

that everybody has to earn a living. It is a fact today that one in ten thousand of us can make a technological breakthrough capable of supporting all the rest. The youth of today are absolutely right in recognising this nonsense of earning a living. We keep inventing jobs because of this false idea that everybody has to be employed at some kind of drudgery because, according to Malthusian-Darwinian theory, he must justify his right to exist. So we have inspectors of inspectors and people making instruments for inspectors to inspect inspectors. The true business of people should be to go back to school and think about whatever it was they were thinking about before somebody came along and told them they had to earn a living.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;
