Local governance now pro big development

Monks celebrate Peace Stupa’s birthday

Council faction swings behind developers, ignores residents’ requests and delays koala protection Hans Lovejoy

It’s not often ceremonies are held to bring peace to the universe. If you watch mainstream media it’s hard to avoid corporate-sponsored politicians whipping up war and terror hysteria. Thankfully Byron Shire bucks the trend to mindlessly follow such insanity. Leading a pathway to peace last weekend were the Tibetan Gyuto Monks, who were at the Crystal Castle to celebrate the second birthday of the World Peace Stupa, which is only one of seven worldwide. Thousands attended for blessings and prayers of peace. Photo Tao Jones

It was a day for right-wing conservatives to celebrate as environmental protections were stalled, residents’ requests denied and developments steamed ahead at last Thursday’s Council meeting. While the conservative voting pattern had been established for some time, the unified voice of Crs Ibrahim, Woods, Cubis, Hunter and Wanchap was indisputable at the last meeting. Mayor Richardson, Crs Cameron, Dey and Spooner are the minority progressives of the nine councillors. But it was progressive councillors who won a slim ruling majority at the last 2012 local government elec-

tion. At the time that included Cr Rose Wanchap. Cr Wanchap abandoned the Greens party platform shortly after being elected and then quit the party in May, when she announced her support for the highly contentious West Byron proposal. While she holds the balance of power, from last Thursday’s meeting it is Cr Sol Ibrahim who now leads the pro-big development group. Cr Ibrahim’s team were successful in voting down a rail/pathway trail multi-use compromise and voted instead for Council to write to local MP Don Page advising him that ‘Council fully supports the Northern Rivers Rail Trail project.’ But Cr Ibrahim’s motion was continued on page 3

Police under investigation for intimidation Hans Lovejoy

A local mother has filed a complaint with the NSW Ombudsman, claiming Tweed Byron LAC police officers harassed and intimidated her. The Echo has been presented with a letter from the Ombudsman’s office saying the matter has been referred back to the police for an internal investigation. The letter also said the police are obliged to provide the Ombudsman’s office with the report at the end of the investigation. It comes after similar reports to The Echo regarding the same officer, who has been on duty in the area

for some months. The Echo has been informed that earlier this year, police were called to the woman’s property in Mullumbimby making a general inquiry concerning raised voices. After an initial cordial exchange between the woman and the police officers, the woman claims she and her teenage son were cornered on their porch after she refused to sign a statement.

Behaved like a brute The complaint by the woman claims that one policeman became aggressive and began shouting and at one point thumped his fist on a table

against which she was leaning. The statement says, ‘The policeman caused extreme insult and harm to both myself and my child and also the NSW Police Force’. ‘He has behaved like a brute towards an unarmed, non-aggressive woman in front of a child. On the woman’s own property. No warrant, no court order and no arrest.’ She also claims the other officer stood by watching, ‘with his hand on his Taser.’ The incident happened around the same time that a woman in Logan, QLD, named Sheila Oakley, was tasered in the eyeball and blinded by

a police officer who was also allegedly a taser instructor. According to the ABC, around 100 members of the Aboriginal community marched to the police station in solidarity – they demanded that police not carry tasers and be better trained.

Signing police reports So are the public required to sign police reports? Jackson Rogers from the NSW Council for Civil Liberties told The Echo that ‘generally speaking’ a person cannot ever be compelled by police to sign a document. ‘There may be some limited ex-

ceptions to this rule for very particular circumstances. For example, to collect one’s property after imprisonment (but that is putting a particular gloss on the definition of ‘compulsion’). ‘In this circumstance, it seems the complainant was definitely not required to sign the document, and that the officer in question overstepped the bounds of propriety, if not the law. ‘We would be willing to hear from her further if she does not get satisfaction through her local area command, the complaints assistance unit continued on page 3

Organic bin call-out to local biz Mullum reaches out to refugees Local environmental consultancy business Cool Planet is putting the word out to get an organic bin service off the ground for hospitality businesses in Byron Shire. It’s good news for food businesses wishing to minimise their impact on the environment, says director Dan Harper. ‘We need 150 bins to be collected to make it happen and have about 80 at present,’ he said. ‘We’ve already identified a large number of local businesses that need over 80 organic waste bins; however, to get the collection service started, a minimum of 150 bins is needed.’ An organic food waste collection service for businesses in Byron Shire could get off

the ground by the end of October, says Harper. ‘A business would simply put food waste (including meat and dairy products) into a compostable bin liner before it is placed into a 240ltr green wheelie bin to avoid odour and fly strike. ‘The cost to empty the bin is $6, comparable to the service already provided by Council to take food waste to landfill. Instead it would be composted at an organic facility in Lismore. Paper napkins and biodegradable coffee cups could also be placed in the bins. ‘If you would like to reduce your businesses greenhouse gas emissions, produce a useful product from your waste rather than contributing to

landfill and facilitate Byron Shire’s first organic waste collection, then the process is simple. Take a minute to look inside your bins the day before they are due to be emptied. ‘Visually estimate how many wheelie bins’ worth of food waste, paper napkins and biodegradable coffee cups or compostable packaging you are currently throwing weekly into landfill. Then contact dan@coolplanet.com.au with your businesses name, address and estimated organic bin numbers needed by October 20. We will do the rest.’ Harper says his business also provides free waste assessments for local businesses through the EPA ‘Waste less, recycle more’ initiative from the NSW EPA.

The Mullumbimby Loves Refugees fundraising event at St John’s Hall on Friday night raised nearly $4,000 towards basic living expenses for asylum seekers living in the community. Around 195 people came along to the film screening and panel discussion and dozens of people signed up to get involved in practical projects. A follow-up meeting to brainstorm next steps and nut out the projects will take place on Saturday November 1. To find out more search for Mullumbimby Loves Refugees on Facebook.

4 DAYS Ewingsdale development: 12 VENUES residents’ pleas for more OVER 120 time ignored by Council PERFORMANCES An attempt by Cr Cameron to defer a decision on a large-scale & WORKSHOPS Ewingsdale seniors housing/medical proposal surrounding the proposed Byron Central Hospital was defeated at last Thursday’s Council meeting by five votes to four. Crs Ibrahim, Cubis, Woods, Wanchap and Hunter were instead successful in pushing the development towards the DA stage. It came despite calls by the Ewingsdale Community Association for a Growth Management Strategy and more time to consider the proposal. But the size of the development was knocked back somewhat; commercial use will now be a combined maximum total floor area of 1,200m2, while the medical centre would be limited to a maximum total floor area of 1,800m2. Additionally a Development Control Plan (DCP) for the 15-hectare lot will be prepared by the applicant to address buffer areas, transport networks and ‘height restrictions on the subject site [will] be generally restricted to two levels and not on residential boundaries.’ A ‘demand model’ traffic study will also be prepared ‘in accordance with the requirements detailed in the response from the RMS.’ During morning public access, Belbeck Investments director Leigh Belbeck (the proponent) addressed Council and defended their consultation with residents, claiming over 200 letters were sent in addition to information sessions.

Cr Spooner asked if she would consider agreeing to the residents’ request for a local growth management policy, to which Mrs Belbeck replied, ‘Why delay it for an indefinite period? We are working outside the local growth management strategy [owing to it being a state government development]… and [in] initial discussions with NSW Health, they see the benefits.’ The Echo asked local MP Don Page what advice he would give to the progress association and residents who are calling for the best outcome for their suburb. He replied, ‘The Ewingsdale proposal is really a matter for the council to determine. The mechanisms they put in place in coming to their decisions are really up to Council. The local residents need to put their case to Council.’ Later the Ewingsdale Community Association’s Lorissa Barrett sent a press release saying, ‘This large-scale development will see the gateway to Byron Bay charged irreparably and double the population of our village. We are not anti-development, we are pro-appropriate development. We are unanimous in our belief that this is not appropriate.’ Belbeck Investments sent a completely different message to media outlets that day, but did not reference objectors, of which according to Council’s public submissions there are 60 opposed and two in favour. It read in part, ‘We’ve been buoyed by recent community engagement given the strong positive feedback from an overwhelming majority of locals’. Byron Shire Echo archives: www.echo.net.au

Local News Byron Freedom Rally October 19 A Byron Freedom Rally is planned for Railway Park on Sunday 19 October from 11am. ‘Let’s all dance to the chimes of freedom!’ co-ordinator Harsha Prabhu says. ‘Clowns, comedians and roving village idiots will keep us hippie,’ he said. ‘There will be a multicultural feast of music, dance and kids’ activities galore. There will be speakers on issues such as human rights, the terror laws, refugee advocates and Amnesty. ‘There will be an open mic for all to speak up. There will be community caring for community and standing in solidarity with all Australians. ‘War is terrorism and war breeds more terrorism. We don’t have to buy into Abbott’s kingdom of fear.’

A petition signed by 49,656 people was handed to Ballina MP Don Page last week. It calls on NSW planning minister Pru Goward to protect the few hundred koalas

that remain on West Byron land – opponents say any large-scale development will have major environmental impacts on fragile wetlands and koala habitat as well as

adding thousands more vehicles to an already congested entrance to the town. Q Read more on this story at

blasted as disingenuous by almost the entire gallery and some councillors; the issue was far from ‘fully supported’ with a five-to-four vote.

Belongil fiasco Meanwhile, earlier plans passed by Cr Ibrahim’s team to push ahead with rock walls along Belongil appear to be in limbo, with the announcement that funding has been withdrawn by the NSW Of-

fice of Environment and Heritage (OEH). Correspondence from OEH to Council raised concerns about the scale of the proposed interim works, ‘which will have significant impact on the amenity of the already compromised beach area and associated public access.’ OEH urged Council to instead finalise its coastal zone management plan (CZMP) ‘as a matter of priority.’

or the Ombudsman.’ Mr Rogers added that the comment provided ‘does not constitute legal advice and should not be treated as such’. Those who experience harassment and intimidation by any member of the NSW Police Force can contact NSW

Ombudsman on 1800 451 524 or www.ombo.nsw.gov.au. Be sure to note the name of the officer as well as details such as date and time. For more about your rights when dealing with the police, visit www.theshopfront.org/documents/Police_powers_and_ your_rights_May_2012.pdf.

Councillors voted to seek clarity from NSW minister of the environment, Rob Stokes, as to whether he ‘concurs with the position of the OEH.’ Council’s director of infrastructure services, Phil Holloway, released a statement saying, ‘Considerable time, energy and money has gone into the development of the Belongil interim beach access works.’

The koala’s fate Cr Ibrahim later gained the support of Woods, Cubis, Hunter and Wanchap for an amendment that will delay protection measures for the Shire’s koalas, which are listed as a vulnerable species by the federal government. Spooked by legal implications and led by staff recommendations, Cr Ibrahim quizzed Lorraine Vass from Friends of the Koala earlier on Thursday morning, who pleaded ‘to get on with it’.

He asked, ‘if this policy was legally challenged, would you wish that [this review] was done before adopting the plan? Ms Vass replied that ‘I don’t have good reason to believe that. The department of planning is looking over our shoulder every inch of the way.’ Ms Vass went on to say she was ‘flummoxed at the delay’ and that there was opportunity for all councillors to be involved in the process. ‘The only councillor who turned up was Cr Dey,’ she said. ‘By 2035, if nothing changes, then they will be gone.’

Local News Direct peace action in times of endless wars Long-time peace activist, Graeme Dunstan, has just returned from a blockade of Victoria’s Swan Island ASIS/ SAS base, and will be sharing his experiences and speaking out against militarism at Byron’s ‘Global Warning’ forum, to be held at the Byron Theatre Saturday October 18 from 7pm. ‘Along with 40 other adults and 15 children,’ says Mr Dunstan, ‘I participated and witnessed a six-day non-violent direct action in which the sole gate to the island base was closed to traffic for three days.’

Activist assaulted He says on October 2, eight activists in two ‘Citizen Inspection Teams’ of four crossed the water and entered the base, taking photos, SMSing to social media and making media calls.

‘And it is one of the techniques taught by 4 Squadron SAS Regiment at Swan Island training base to police counter-terrorism units on Swan Island and to the armies they train overseas.

Brutality normalised

‘After four hours of roaming undetected, one of the groups was arrested by Victoria Police. The other was caught by at least two “ADF” (so called by the Vic Police) in jeans and t-shirts, who crashtackled them to the ground, beat and abused them, ziptied their wrists, hooded them with hessian sacks, cut off their clothes, dragged them about and threatened them with drowning and sexual assault. ‘The story was on ABC

7.30 on Monday October 8 and I was witness to their injuries and their stories when Vic Police released them back to the gate blockade. ‘Among Special Forces, this behaviour is called “coercive interrogation” or in US military jargon “renditioning”, says Mr Dunstan. ‘It is what David Hicks experienced when abducted by US forces in Afghanistan, and also when he was held without charge in Guantanamo Bay.’

‘The point I will be making at the Byron Forum is that this normalisation of brutality and torture; this contempt for the rule of law and human rights is the war the Australian SAS bring home with them,’ he said. ‘Just as the training and arming of Islamic extremists in Syria by the US and its allies have created ISIS as a blowback Frankenstein monster, likewise endless wars and the terrorist tactics of the SAS is turning it into a Frankenstein monster and long-term threat to civil society in this land.’

Nimbin rallies against heavy policing Darren Coyne

Photo (and footage) of the week Sophie Hutton took this photo Friday morning of what appears to be a beached blue shark on Main Beach. Then on Saturday morning, comedian and resident George Smilovici was about to have a dip at roughly the same spot when a similar looking shark jumped literally out of the water, beached itself momentarily in front of him, then swam back in the water. To see George’s video of the shark, visit echonetdaily.com.au.

It takes a lot to anger the peaceful folk of Nimbin, but when it happens, they come out smoking and dancing. In response to recent police raids on the village, the Nimbin Action Group organised a peaceful pot protest which saw about 100 people ‘storm’ the local police station on Saturday, brandishing musical instruments and joints. But without the back-up of the 70-odd officers who swept through the village following the recent fire which gutted iconic buildings, local police chose the path of least resistance by being conspicuously absent from the station. Some reported that a pair of eyes were seen sneaking a

peek through the closed shutters of the station, but this could not be confirmed as no police answered the emergency intercom despite repeated requests from protestors. Many Nimbin businesses closed their doors in support of the protest action. Organiser Sophia Hoeben said the police actions had terrorised visitors and villagers, who were still shocked by the fire which destroyed ‘the heart’ of Nimbin. Ms Hoeben accused police of being rude and aggressive, and said villagers were not terrorists, they were ‘Terraists’, because ‘we love and cherish the earth’. Q See the video of this story

Bangalow’s a go-go

Wolfmother tops YAC bill, Oct 19 A last-minute change has seen youth event Spirit of the Bay, featuring Wolfmother, move to the following day: Sunday October 19. Co-ordinator Min Saxe told The Echo, ‘With less than two weeks out from the Vibrant Minds Crew event, one of the young members, Tree Stone, discovered that Uncle Lewis (Lewis Walker, Bundjalung Elder) is holding the ‘Buninj Boothrum Echidna Dreaming’ event at Durrumbul Hall on the same day.’ Min says she was blown away by the wisdom and passion behind Tree’s senti-

ments on the subject. ‘He said we all have to be at Lewis’s event and we can’t deny others the opportunity to be there. It is about respect – respect for the originals

and respect for the elders.’ ‘I feel honoured to be working with such tuned-in, down-to-earth youth. His insight and perspective as well as his level of respect is to be

admired. There was much discussion about the pros and cons of making the change; from our reputation as an event management team to how many artists we may or may not lose, but at the end of the day the crew decided unanimously that our new event date is October 19.’ The event will also feature Wetherless, Red Stone, Dallas James, Wandering Eyes and more plus market stalls and skate displays. It will run from 10am to 10pm and will be held at the Byron Bay Youth Activity Centre (YAC) at 1 Gilmore Crescent, Byron Bay.

Court rejects oversized Bangalow development Chris Dobney

Bangalow residents have welcomed a Land and Environment Court ruling last week which upheld Byron Shire Council’s rejection of a controversial three-storey mixed residential and commercial development adjacent to the A&I Hall in historic Station Street, Bangalow. If approved, the building would have included three shops, eight ‘shop-top’ apartments and underground parking for 25 vehicles, which would have had to use an unmade section of narrow Station Lane to access the car park. Commissioner Susan O’Neill dismissed an appeal by the developers, Gordon Highlands Pty Ltd, following two days of hearings onsite and at Tweed Heads Local Court on September 11 and 12.

She refused the DA on the grounds of excessive bulk and scale and because the proposed building is not ‘in harmony with the existing or future character of Station Street’. The proposed building, which had no setback from the road, was outside the height limits set down in Byron Shire Council’s new LEP and would have towered over the rest of Station Street including the A&I Hall. The Commissioner was also of the view that the proposal would have ‘an adverse impact on the heritage values and existing character of Station Street, the Bangalow Heritage Conservation Area and the heritage items in Station Street’. Byron Shire Council rejected the developer’s initial proposal last year but earlier this year the proponents came up with a second proposal as

the result of court-enforced conciliation with the council. Those negotiations were abandoned in June after agreement could not be reached but the developer submitted the second proposal anyway, with Council rejecting it after pointing out aspects of the shire’s Development Control Plan and enforceable height limits in the new LEP had not been complied with.

gratulations ‘to all those who worked so hard to get it and also to the commissioner for her sound judgment’. The former Byron Shire councillor, who was part of the Bangalow Settlement Strategy working group, told The Echo, ‘it’s a really important judgment because it also sets a precedent for future development, which is so important that it be the appropriate development for Bangalow.’

A local charity has made a significant and positive difference to the life of a young orphaned girl in Kenya, Africa. Spokesperson for African LEAF (Love, Educate, Acknowledge, Feed), Susan Hayward, told The Echo that recently they received a request to help Esther, an exstudent at the Steiner School in Nairobi, Kenya. ‘Esther was struggling to survive,’ says Ms Hayward. ‘She has no money to pay for high school, her mother and father are dead, she has sisters with whom she has no contact with and she was living with her grandfather until he died last year.

No family ‘She has no family and has been staying with a lady she met at a church. Otherwise she would be in the streets. Esther is totally dedicated to getting an education but had no way to do it without help.’ Ms Hayward says African LEAF decided to pay for her school fees/uniform/books etc from their Giver of Hope program. ‘Esther immediately found herself a school which she is now attending.

‘A couple of weeks ago we were delighted to hear that Esther was number one in her class. ‘She sent a letter to her sponsors saying, “I thank you all for making my future to be bright and also for paying for my fees. If it’s not for you all, I don’t know or guess where I would have been. All I can say is thanks to God and you all”. ‘In African LEAF’s Giver of Hope program, supporters make regular monthly donations. You can also make a donation while enjoying a great day by joining LEAF at their upcoming Melbourne Cup Fundraiser. For more visit www.africanleaf.org.au or phone 0423 033 213.’

ders and mental health disorders opened at Myocum last Thursday. The founders of the Nungkari Treatment Centre, David Godden and Kylie Beattie, say the remedy for substance abuse and mental disorders can be found in an integrative holistic approach that merges orthodox methods with complementary holistic therapies. ‘We have brought together a diverse range of highly qualified practitioners that draw from both western and eastern philosophies to provide clients with a treatment program that addresses all aspects of care,’ says managing director Kylie Beattie. ‘Our team of practitioners comprises psychiatrists, psy-

workers. They are trained in a variety of modalities such as naturopathy, acupuncture, bodywork, massage, yoga and creative therapies.’ Nungkari’s clinical director David Godden added, ‘We believe in the healing power of nature, which is why we chose to set up in Myocum. We wanted to offer an alternative to the welldocumented limitations in short-term programs that are reasonably ineffective when treating addiction and maladaptive behaviours.’ Ms Beattie said Nungkari is the only private centre in Australia specialising in eating disorders.

Relishing a bustling township Activation fringe event which will see surf culture street art, sculptures, dancing and music in Bay Lane behind the Beach Hotel, also where BayFM will do a live broadcast.

Taylor Miller

I found myself walking from the fish shop last Monday afternoon breathing a sigh of relief. Thank friggin’ God that’s over. After what seemed like an eternity of school-holiday madness, the streets were quiet, the sun was calmly setting and there were empty carparks aplenty. So pleasant, my heart swelled and I instantly fell in love with my ol’ Bay again. It got me thinking – what is it that tips the balance? I honestly enjoy when the town is bustling, when it has a certain buzz, a good rhythm about it. The cars are many, but fluid, moving and grooving down the streets. The sunset drummers at Main Beach are drawing circles of onlookers and it flows down Jonson Street to several sidewalk buskers. The Sea Shepherd volunteers are collecting on the corner, the cafes and businesses are busy (not jammed) and happy to be making good bank. People on bikes, skateboards; swimmers and surfers playing in the sea.

Creativity focus What is it that makes this kind of nice busy Byron Bay as opposed to the hellhole-broken-glass-can’t-finda’f*%$ing-park Byron Bay that really drives us mad? I don’t know. But it has something to do with a toxic combination of interstate school holidays, long weekends and blustering northerlies. It seems to be that Christmas/NYE break, Easter, and school holidays in combination with a handful of other random tourism trends that really turns on the flame.

What about festivals? In these next two weeks we have two festivals in town that I am really looking forward to and which I think generate the nice, fun, lively

kind of buzz that Byron Bay sweetly absorbs. The first, happening now, is the Italian Film Festival. Although small and contained within the Palace Cinemas, it draws back out some old locals, food and culture lovers, and I am so dearly enjoying this cinematic buzz on the upper end of town. Thereafter, a week onwards and at the beach end of town, we have the Byron Bay Surf Festival. Last year the Byron Surf Festival really proved its worth. The town was abuzz; for just two or three days, the sun shone and it truly had a glow about it. This year, given its success, there has been a great amount of involvement from the community, local businesses and even Byron Shire Council. They have joined in with the Bay Lane

This year there is a huge focus on small, innovative creations, health (in the way of food and fitness especially), sustainable eco brands and initiatives. Music happening at the festival is vast – at the Beach Hotel, and two stages at Main Beach where there will be a fantastic evening charity jam with musicians such as Donavon Frankenreiter, Ash Grunwald, Shannon Sol Carroll and OJ Newcomb from Band of Frequencies and loads more. Go online and see the program out now – there are so many fun, unique interior events and I reck0n the town will be nicely busy with people celebrating the Bay’s true seaside nature. Festival runs October 24– 26. See www.byronbaysurffestival.com. Q Taylor Miller is from BBSF. Q

Freerange spooks threaten freedoms

Volume 29 #18

October 14, 2014

Resignation please The position of Cr Rose Wanchap has become increasingly controversial since she publicly split from Byron Council’s Greens faction in May. No doubt her voting decisions arise from the highest motives, but they have been uncannily similar to those of the councillors whose allegiances, informally if not officially, belong to the National Party and big developers. She claims that by endorsing a right-wing program in Council she is merely exercising her judgment, which has matured since she accepted nomination for the Greens in 2012. The 31 people who voted directly for her might tolerate her change of direction, but thousands of others supported her specifically as a Green and have been disenfranchised by her actions. ‘Ratting’ on political colleagues is not unusual, and it would be unreasonable to expect elected representatives always to act the way they promised voters they would. Circumstances change, issues develop, policies evolve. Everyone has the right of dissent, and in large governing bodies occasionally crossing party lines should not be seen as necessarily dishonourable. But voters do not expect the candidates they support to make permanent political u-turns. Cr Wanchap has done this, and the consequences in a small local council chamber are significant. How significant can be seen from our front page story. With Wanchap now voting with the right wing there is a majority available in Byron Shire Council for projects which will degrade the natural environment for financial gain. Until the next election the two remaining Greens councillors, Simon Richardson and Duncan Dey, along with Labor’s Paul Spooner and independent Basil Cameron, will be in a permanent minority. The extent of the damage caused by Cr Wanchap’s defection is hard to overestimate. Despite the widespread impression that Byron Shire has a Green council, there were only three Greens elected in 2012. To carry a contentious motion they needed the support of the independent (now Labor) Spooner and Cameron from the Sustainable Future group. Nevertheless, this political balance favoured progressive policies and was a fair outcome from the election, where progressive outnumbered reactive forces by 57 to 43 per cent. With her voting pattern Cr Wanchap is altering the result of that election and handing the balance of power to those who did not win our collective vote in 2012. She may not have realised that this would be the consequence of her switch of allegiance, so her most ethical course now would be to resign. Councillors who resist doing the right thing sometimes point to the cost. This is not a good argument here, however, as elections are not due until 2016 and two years of the right-wing faction waving through inappropriate development will cost the community far more than a by-election. David Lovejoy

t is hardly news that Australians aren’t too keen on their politicians; after all, bagging the pollies has long been a national sport. Bludgers, layabouts, only in it for the perks – the opinion polls usually show our elected representatives fall somewhere between used car salesmen and journalists down in the national hit parade. But even so, the extent of the disaffection revealed last week is both alarming and depressing. The Australian reports that a national survey from Griffith University shows that only a bare majority – just 52.9 per cent of the populace – have any faith in the federal government at all and 46.5 believe it to be untrustworthy to a greater or lesser degree. Worse, 28.6, more than a quarter, say that democracy itself does not work, although they appear to have no alternative, falling back to the Churchillian position that democracy is undoubtedly the worst possible system of government – except for all the others. But wait, there’s more. The federal government is now seen as the bottom of the barrel, less trusted by state and local counterparts. That includes the NSW mob, exposed by ICAC as serially corrupt on both sides of politics; the rest might be less on the nose, but in the past they have often been regarded as less than salubrious. And the local council chambers sometimes appear to be no more than venues for developers running in and out with brown paper bags. The feds, by and large, were at least thought to be cleanskins. So what has gone wrong? Tony Abbott, ever the wishful thinker, says that the survey is what he calls a lagging indicator: it only reflected the previous government, and now he is in charge everything

will be alright again. If only it was so simple. True, the Rudd-Gillard years started the decline. Kevin Rudd’s ascension was, for a while, seen as something of a renaissance; his popularity soared to undreamt of heights. But then came December 2009, when Abbott replaced the well-regarded Malcolm Turnbull and while he was limbering up his wrecking ball, the Copenhagen summit on climate change, which Rudd had regarded as crucial, failed to deliver. The then prime minster went into a decline: he squibbed the opportunity for a double dissolution election and then shelved

by Mungo MacCallum the whole climate change issue. While the voters were still trying to come to terms with that tergiversation, he was unexpectedly and inexplicably, it appeared, deposed. Julia Gillard, unannounced and unprepared, went onto lead a minority government which was never considered either functional or acceptable by its vociferous opponents, and a bewildered and disillusioned public eventually agreed. So Abbott was somewhat reluctantly given his chance. He was not loved, but he could have been respected as the man who cleaned up the mess. Instead, he brought in a budget that broke a raft of promises which were deemed to be unfair and unreasonable – a conclusion last week confirmed by a NATSEM report that found almost all the pain went to the poor and hardly any to the rich, including – especially – the constituents of Abbott

and his cabinet cronies. To put it mildly, trust was not restored. The war (which Abbott refuses to call a war) has helped a bit; wars always do, in their early stages. Both the aims and the strategies are muddled, but while the actual action involves no more that dropping a handful of bombs from a safe altitude, the majority is willing to sign up to Team Australia. Certainly Bill Shorten has on behalf of the opposition, a bipartisan commitment which has left the dissenters at the fringes. But while terrorism may be – indeed, is – Abbott’s main game, it is not that of the voters. According to another survey, this

time by Morgan, only 11 per cent of the voters regard terrorism as their top priority. More than three times as many gave the nod to another form of security altogether – economic security. Treasurer Joe Hockey seems to realise that; but his ham-fisted attempt to conflate the war with Labor’s opposition to the unpopular budget measures only produced a public backlash and an applied rebuke from his bellicose leader. But Abbott himself may also have overreached: the massive escalation on security has produced some unexpected and unwelcome critics from his most faithful followers. Last week in The Australian the libertarian Liberal Democrat David Leyonhjelm wrote a piece warning that the new legislation was both unnecessary and dangerous. And amazingly, in a companion piece the paper’s foreign editor,

Greg Sheridan, agreed. Breaking the habit of a lifetime of creaming his jeans over the spooks, he inveighed against the very idea of special intelligence operations – SIOs. These may not only be left unexamined and unanalysed by the media – they cannot even be mentioned. So if our trigger happy spooks may carelessly harm or even kill a suspect while confiscating a plastic sword, for instance, they will be totally unaccountable. Sheridan hurriedly explains that such a misadventure could only happen by accident; he has not entirely abandoned his naive faith in spookdom. But it is a worry, because the accident could never be reported – forever; the legislation has no sunset clause. Clearly this is asking an already mistrustful electorate a step into the unknown they are unlikely to take. It is not the first time Abbott and his gung-ho attorney-general George Brandis have had to retreat: Leyonhjelm has already insisted on legislation to specifically ensure that the spooks reject torture as a security measure. Only physical torture of course; psychological torture, as inflicted by Scott Morrison and his agents with the indefinite incarceration of asylum seekers in the hell holes of Nauru and Manus Island, is not only tolerated but encouraged. But once again the message is blunt, even from such apparatchiks as Greg Sheridan: you can’t trust the government. From which, as the Griffith survey indicates, it is a small progression to rejecting the system of democracy altogether. We cannot, must not afford that. And Abbott, rather than incessantly blaming his predecessors, needs to do something about it. A sincere, if belated, mea culpa would be a good start to restoring a least some of the lost trust.

Good planning trashed at West Byron Q A very good move by MLC and former mayor Jan Barham to have ICAC investigate the referral of a decision on West Byron to state government; let’s hope they find fault with the process. As a councillor in the 1990s, I remember site inspections of the area under the guidance of Council’s (very competent) director of strategic planning at the time and it was quite clear that only very small sections of the site were suitable for development; the scale of the current proposal is both mystifying and horrific! Thanks to Jan for main-

Waiting on signage Mmm, Mick Malloy obviously having a moment (Letters, October 7). I suggest you refer to Mary Gardner’s letter, ‘Nature under threat’, in last week’s Echo. As Ms Gardner states, ‘Insist councillors act according to the green vote that was won last election.’ She also says, ‘Let’s plan for a renaissance of wildlife, on land and in sea.’ My letter was merely stating a fact about a need for, and lack of, signage for both wildlife on the land and in the sea, and the inaction regarding this of the councillors concerned. It was not about their management style, or their dedication as workers. Let us not forget that they are being paid significant amounts of

Neither did they care that the traffic study was considered unreliable and implausible. This Ewingsdale development is a planning abomination which displays the utmost contempt for the rights

These same councillors have also shown contempt for koalas by yet again deferring a decision on the Byron coast comprehensive koala plan of management to stop it coming into force. This means that the core koala habitat identified in West Byron will not get the legal protection it urgently needs to stop it being zoned for housing and a shopping centre.

Beaches going to the dogs Good to see others concerned about the unconscionable behaviour of some of our local dog owners when using our beaches (Ralph and Rennie Johnston, Letters, October 7). To Ralph and Rennie I say, they just don’t give a stuff ! Over the long weekend I approached visitors playing with their dog at the Belongil estuary. They were very apologetic and clearly confused about where dogs were and were not allowed to be and why. However, as I was leaving the beach, where there is a large sign saying no dogs and bird breeding ground, I was almost knocked over by two large bull terriers bounding onto the beach. When I spoke to their owner, obviously a local and in no mood to be called to account, I was told openly that he couldn’t care less and would exercise his dogs there no matter what. Besides, it was too hard to get in to town where the dogfriendly beach was waiting. It seems it is impossible to police our beaches and signs which appeal to people’s consciences are blatantly avoided by knowing dog owners. I tell offenders there are rangers, but are there?

And a bin at the entrance to this fragile part of our beachscape would not go astray. Even if I do remove offending excrement and beer bottles, etc, there is absolutely nowhere to dispose of them without carrying the stinking rubbish several kilometres to my own home! Council and resort developers: we, the local community, need your help to keep our beaches as pristine and protected as humanly possible. Jan Hackett Sunrise Beach

Central Byron would need less parking, streets would be less busy. Byron Council could invest in these vehicles, like other councils do with public transport or city bicycles, avoiding the need for a bypass. This would be more effective with a park-and-ride system. A surcharge could be levied on tourists to pay for the roads. Not sure how many wins that is, but it’s at least a winwin-win situation Graham Truswell Coorabell

less cars from January next year. Many car manufacturers plan to have similar vehicles available in the next few years. As 90 per cent of road accidents are caused by drivers, a safe driverless vehicle system would have a huge impact. The annual road fatality rate – currently 1,200 die each year in Australia – would drop as well as the significant injury rate (36,000 annually). It would reduce motor insurance costs, reduce the need for traffic police, reduce health costs, and the problem of drink driving (110,000 RBTs are positive annually). Currently vehicles sit idle and unused for 95 per cent of the time. With driverless cars, taxi fares, it’s estimated, would drop by 75 per cent or more. Needless to say, fewer greenhouse gases would be produced. Australians are well known to be early adopters of new technologies. Could we adopt this one? If driverless cars were adopted here, the average family could make do with one car. The other could be driverless. It would be called for when needed, using a smartphone.

Q For

a number of years I have been observing a steadily growing number of irresponsible dog owners who deliberately ignore the ‘no dog area’ of Tallow Beach. Dogs can now be seen in the Arakwal National Park, around Taylors Lake and in the dunes that form part of a very sensitive and important ecosystem. Endangered bird species like the New Zealand pied oystercatcher and the little tern frequent the beach around Taylors Lake. A few weeks back I found the paw of a wallaby. A few neighbours and

Rise of ISIS

M Mizzi states, ‘ISIS is a concoction (sic) of the new Arab kids on the block, Qatar’ and goes on to indict ‘oil-rich Arab nations (who) are still playing their old duplicitous game’ (Letters, October 7). However, he omits to sheet home the responsibility for the rise of ISIS to the US, its Arab proxies and Israel, which is implicated through its support for the Muslim Brotherhood in its struggle against the PLO. Noam Chomsky says,

I have tried to ‘educate’ all those dog owners who can’t read any of the many ‘no dog’ signs with very little success, often copping all sorts of abuse. Council and National Parks have been contacted numerous times but absolutely no action has been taken. The only spot the ranger has been sighted in beachside Suffolk is the bakery. Dog owners don’t seem to realise that it is actually a privilege to have a beautiful off-leash area provided for their pooches. Instead they claim the whole beach. How long can can we put up with the above behaviour before the beach goes to the dogs? Of course this is also part of the broader issue of illegal camping, fires on the beach (with firewood ripped off the few remaining trees on the dunes), rubbish left on the sand, including broken glass, illegal clearing of the dunes to get that ocean view, and illegal structures/walkways on the dunes. But don’t get me started on that! Bernie Petry Suffolk Park ‘Like Britain before it, the US has tended to support radical Islam and to oppose secular nationalism, which both imperial states have regarded as more threatening to their goals of domination and control. When secular options are crushed, religious extremism often fills the vacuum. ‘Furthermore, the primary US ally over the years, Saudi Arabia, is the most radical Islamist state in the world and also a missionary state, which uses its vast oil resources to promulgate its extremist Wahabi/Salafi doctrines by establishing schools, mosques, and in other ways, and has also been the primary source for the funding of radical Islamist groups, along with Gulf Emirates – all US allies.’ (Chomsky: US Spawned a Fundamentalist Frankenstein in the Mideast (www. informationclearinghouse. info/article39899.htm).

Relaxed and comfortable in Council Q Rose Wanchap’s defection to the development extremist camp is of course a gross breach of the public trust and a betrayal of democracy. The Greens now need to look closely at their membership policies and their seeming determination to field unsuitable candidates just to make up a ticket. Worthy community activists missed out on election because the Greens were asleep at the wheel. That said, the tactics of Sol Ibrahim at the last election, though quite conventional, constitute a similar cynical breach of trust, all the more so because a lot of planning obviously went into it. Noone had heard of him until he suddenly featured in slick but vacuous ads all over the shire. We don’t know who financed that little episode because local media were asleep at the wheel when the electoral finance statements were published 18 months ago – just as I expected.

So we currently have a crew that at best represents one-third of the local population (and shrinking) but which now, thanks to Rose, effectively runs the show. In this they are aided by the permanent staff. Once again my side of politics has stuffed up nicely. I can’t let the opportunity pass to have a go at Simon Richardson who, by abolishing Public Questions, has scored the worst own goal I’ve seen in 30 years of local politics. That absurdity, however, pales into insignificance beside the fact that the GM has unilaterally removed all mention of court cases from the council agenda – meaning that we now have no idea who is being prosecuted for what and for what reasons. And no idea which Land & Environment Court appeals are being defended and which settled on what terms. Even the councillors are content to be informed only at

the GM’s whim. Meanwhile Simon smiles as though everything’s going swimmingly as long as people are being polite to each other! Meanwhile too the tide of camphor laurels is steadily taking over the shire. Fast Buck$ Coorabell

Now that Rose Wanchap has regained her comfort zone and joined with Sol and the three blind mice there will be no development that does not appeal and all that mysterious money spent on electing the fab four will start to pay off. Pity the Ewingsdale residents denied reasonable consultation on a massive development in their backyard and the koalas as their protection is subverted, not to mention the facilitation of a future rail corridor subdivision. As long as the Belongil money gets its rocks and West Byron boosts the real estate market all will be well in the best of all possible worlds as the Malloy glasnost flows over the shire.

cil meeting, where a motion to fully support the rail trail project was debated. Even though the numbers were five in favour and four against, it is clear there is no full support. Not even a majority support, if the democratically illegitimate vote of one councillor is discarded. Cr Rose Wanchap has changed sides and does not represent any more the voters who voted her in on a green ticket. Why is this important? Because the NSW government is looking for support from the community before spending money on the rail trail and demolishing the tracks. The state government cannot rely on the support it is seeking. More likely there is large support for a light rail service with adjacent cycling tracks,

where possible. Do not spend tens of millions of taxpayers’ dollars creating a plaything for the few. This money would be sufficient to restore a light rail service connecting the towns in our shire. It is now time to combine resources to create a Byron Shire light rail and trail project. Jens Krause Byron Bay

best protection for this. We do not support the rail trails position of removing the tracks and the current legal protection at all. This position was shared by the Mullumbimby Chamber of Commerce by a unanimous vote. The Collective feels that the many benefits of light or one- or two-carriage trains in dispersing and attracting visitors throughout the hinterland has never been adequately studied. We see many benefits on and beyond a rail trail and ideally the two could be combined in the existing corridor. This government may not wish to undertake the restoration of rail services but another future government may, and to remove the protection that the existing legislation

provides would make this much harder. We only need to look north to see the results of bad decision making that a few greedy in-the-know pollies and their mates benefited from to the detriment of the wider community. The idea that the current protection offered by the legislation would be replaced by a trust deed and unknown trustees who would properly balance the community benefits between short-term profits and long-term community benefits worries me. The terms of the proposed trust deed are totally unknown. The argument that the existing corridor will not allow fast Shinkansen-like bullet trains to operate owing to its physical limitations is a total furphy, as we see this rail continued on page 14

Q The Hinterland Collective, a tourism body representing operators throughout the Byron hinterland, supports the concept of a multi-use rail trail in as far as it does not diminish the opportunity for a rail service to be restored in the existing corridor. We see the current legislation nominating it as a rail corridor the

Numerous studies conducted have found that dingoes are actually a keystone species, an integral component of the ecosystem. Coast to coast today the dingo is persecuted 365 days a year with no rest because they have no federal or state protection, so they are shot, trapped, and die excruciatingly slow and torturous deaths from 1080 baits dropped nationwide (including national parks). We should not want to have explain to future generations why we remained idle and did nothing when we knew the facts. This unacceptable ecocide must end. The national day of action for dingoes is October 25. Let’s ensure all dingoes receive the national protection they deserve by sending an email demanding they be protected as a native species to our environment minister Greg.Hunt.MP@environment.gov.au.

The ecological damage we have inflicted upon this country to date is inexcusable. What is even more inexcusable is what we allow to happen today in a ‘modern’ Australia. Australia is known for its uniqueness. It is this natural uniqueness that has been systematically destroyed since first settlement. The introduction of plants and animals has drastically changed the Australian landscape and consequently the history of many of our

most treasured species. Australia now has the highest rate of animal extinctions in the world. A third of the global mammalian extinctions in the last 400 years have occurred on our own soil. This has been largely attributed to the introduction of foreign species. In addition to land clearing, the problematic boom in meso-predators (smaller predators) and herbivores (native and introduced), has also been attributed to the noticeable absence of the dingo; a native apex predator. Comparable to the lions in Africa and the sharks in the ocean, dingoes are at the top of the Australian food chain. Humans have killed dingoes in large numbers. This killing has been rationalised as a way to protect livestock, humans, and to keep dingo numbers ‘under control’. Dingoes have even by branded as ‘wild dogs’, implying that they are not part of the native landscape and therefore should be destroyed.

service to be oriented to local trips and tourism and as such the charm of the current alignment using small slow trains is a real benefit. The existing infrastructure is part of our heritage that was put in place by communities that cared for each other and community was often put over profit for individual community members. Jobs are also mentioned as a benefit but of course the people saying this really mean that they will have businesses that will make profits. The balance between jobs and community is an ongoing issue as there are many other points that one needs to take into account to properly assess the equation. The five councillors who voted to support the exclusive use of the rail corridor for cyclists in my opinion voted against the community values that I hold dear.

Much-loved Byron Rugby 7s celebrates 25th year The colourful Byron Bay Rugby Union – Rugby 7s Tournament which, along with some superb running rugby, is likely to feature a ref in penguin costume and a spot of streaking, celebrates its 25th anniversary on October 18–19 at Marvell Street Recreational Grounds in Byron Bay The Byron Bay Rugby 7s has been an annual event since 1990. During its development it has attracted teams from the local area, country NSW, Sydney, interstate and from nations such as New Zealand, Fiji, New Guinea, and New Caledonia. The influx of national and international participants/ visitors, players, support people, umpires, volunteers and spectators to Byron Bay has provided an excellent opportunity for local business and residents alike. ‘This year is the club’s 25th anniversary and looking like our best so far,’ say the organisers. ‘The club can now

Smirnov ended the tournament tied with perennial Trundle winner GM Darryl Johansen, who dominated the first half of the tournament before coasting to the finish line. (Johansen was in the unusual position of being second seed; Smirnov’s brilliant performances in the European summer had pushed him above the Grandmaster on the world rankings.) Going into the last round, Smirnov trailed Johansen by half a point and had to rely on his father Vladimir holding Johansen to give Anton a chance for first place. Vladimir, who had suffered poor form throughout the tournament, did his job and drew with Johansen, enabling Anton to add another title to his collection by winning the brilliant game given below.

Kiri to tour at football’s international level

Photo Eve Jeffery

Mullumbimby girl Kiri Dale has shown such prowess at soccer that she will be touring the UK with the National U19 Football School Sport Australia team in January 2015. The U19 team will be playing ten matches over 22 days in England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. These matches include six international fixtures plus selected club/academy games endorsed by Football Federation Australia. Kiri, 17, attended Main Arm Upper Primary and Mullumbimby High School and is currently in a Sports Excellence Program for years 11 and 12. She started playing soccer as a 4-year-old and has been hooked ever since. She has previously played

for Mullumbimby Brunswick Valley Football Club in the boys’ squad and last year in the young men’s summer league. Kiri was part of the Football Far North Coast development squad and played for Northern NSW at the U14 and U15 (captain) nationals. Since then she has played for Palm Beach in the Open Women’s team coached by Gary French. ‘In November 2013 I was part of an Australian select U18 team that travelled to the Surf Cup in San Diego,’ says Kiri, ‘which has opened up options for possible US college scholarships where I could have the opportunity to play football at a really

Hapkido – the Korean art of self-defence

‘Hapkido is a great way to get fit and also an effective self-defence that can be learnt by anyone no matter their age or fitness level,’ says Eli Dutton of Byron Bay AHA Hapkido School.

The Byron Ballet company is busy preparing for an inspirational gala that will include excerpts from the famous classics Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake, Paquita and Balanchine’s Stars and Stripes. They feature special guests, and audiences will also enjoy a feast for the eyes with the dreamy and sensual Ballet Egyptienne.

Swan Lake has been one of the most popular ballets of all time owing to its intriguing story and the divine ballet score. Paquita is a vibrant Spanish ballet that promises to entertain the whole family with its strong character style and ﬂair. Ballet Egyptienne, created by Egyptian choreographer Hassan Sheta, brings to life sacred Egyptian dance inspired from ancient Egyptian art works.

‘Nothing with a face’-value Matthew Michaelis

A husky yet soft voice speaks [voiceover]: ‘The following story is more like an incredible tale than it is a restaurant review’. I can imagine this narrative playing out on the big screen, and the marketing: ‘A futuristic, quirky comedy’. The synopsis would go something like this: ‘A genius vegan scientist travels back in time to the 70s where he invents world-changing medical equipment and lives off the royalties as he hitches from one place to another, often shoeless, searching for himself in the future, in the past and in present time…’ This is an eatery that comes with a short story and an initial advisory note for the conservative diner – there’s a pot of gold at the end of this rickety rainbow – and it’s the food (bear with me). The above synopsis is more like a proper introduction than a figment of my imagination – it’s mostly true (with the exception of the time-travel bit, although I do wonder sometimes). The person I’m speaking of is Marijonas (‘Mari’) Vilkelis: the creator, cook and gentle philosopher behind the 20,000 Cows vegan restaurant in Lismore. There may be a few folk out there who already know this eccentric ageing hippy. He’s the Santa Claus of the metaphysical, the gift that keeps giving. Personally, I met Mari when I was around 15 years old (a few decades ago). My older brother had earlier given him a ride to Sydney and I became acquainted by default. He visited me on his way up north, back when the term vegan was not a familiar tag and the philosophy attached to it was neither understood nor tolerated. He’d been an award-winning scientist – an inventor of medical machines that were sought after – but he sought after something else. When you come across an individual in your life who transcends societal norms it can be confronting or cathartic. When you meet a fringe dweller who is an extraordinary person, it doesn’t take too long to recognise the fact. Mari is both extraordinary and mystifying at the same time. He is the quintessential vegan, but his commitment does not come from politics; he is not primarily motivated by anger about the status quo. Some time in this man’s life he recognised that death and abuse shouldn’t be accepted, absorbed into or made to seem okay in one’s daily life. My entree into veganism was through Mari and my pet sulphurcrested cockatoo, Claudius. This was a wild unclipped bird that lived in a sizeable cage in my home when I was a teen. Mari on a visit was offered a fried egg and promptly suggested I might climb into the cage and he’d feed me my eggs through the wire. He

then promptly released the bird from his prison (it took me three hours to return him to his detention) and left me a-wondering about the insanity of it all. Three months went by and then a parcel arrived addressed simply to ‘Claudius’; the padded envelope contained a brand-new set of wire cutters with no return address or sender. Mari, I imagined. Well, many years later and the only thing that’s changed is that the money from royalties ran out and a restaurant was created in its stead. Thirty-seven years have passed since my cockatoo escaped his cage and here I sit tasting a surprisingly sumptuous menu prepared by Mari at 20,000 Cows. Entrees were ordered and my guest and I slowly took in the ramshackle decor. It reminded me of a teenager’s shared flat, needing a good long visit

Cino Bambino have said goodbye and an exciting new project – Table View cafe – has seen the old cafe gutted and refurbished (very tastefully). New owners and brothers, Allen and Marc Shubitz, have had a globe-trotting education when it comes to hospitality. ‘I’ve been in Copenhagen working for the Coffee Collectors – one of the world’s best coffee roasters – and also as head barista at Harry’s in Bondi,’ Marc told me. ‘We’ve both of us travelled the world for five years tasting and collecting interesting dishes and ideas to add to the new cafe menu,’ Allen explained. ‘Table View is a metaphor for these travels. It’s also the name of the suburb in Cape Town where we are from and we just so happen to look out over the tables in the park too,’ Allen added.

YOUR DALEY

P36

ACOUSTIC SUPPER

THREE ACOUSTIC SINGER/ SONGWRITERS COME TOGETHER TO PRESENT A VERY SPECIAL TRIPTYCH OF SOLO SONGWRITING GENIUS AT MULLUM’S DRILL HALL THIS FRIDAY WITH SUZANNAH ESPIE, VAN WALKER AND MICK DALEY. MICK DALEY GAVE US A DOWNLOAD ON THE LIFE AND CRIMES OF HIS LIFE AS A MUSO. What is your greatest creative challenge? Writing songs that find the correct balance of popular appeal, literary significance and personal approval. It’s a tough mix. You usually don’t find out till you start playing them with a band, then the ones you thought were gonna fly end up nosediving and the obscure ones are the songs people respond to most. What about your greatest creative attribute? I think just writing lyrics that resonate with people. That’s been something that has stayed with me, when people tell me that such and such a lyric has meant something to them. The alchemy of combining words with music is something that songwriters strive to find, and when it works you can feel like a god for a little while. How would you describe your approach to songwriting? I give songs a lot of thought, mostly. Though sometimes they can come out in a great rude rush that doesn’t require any further deliberation; mostly I agonise over them, making sure I’m getting the right nuance out of words, and the chords I’m using contain the best emotion and impact. I write a lot of words, a torrent of bad poetry, and then refine ’em with a cynical eye, trying to inject as much savagery as possible. The acid test is whether they stay in my head for weeks afterwards, haunting me with endless recycling till I hate ’em sufficiently to finish ’em and start playing them live. What is your favourite ‘own’ song and why? I’ve got about five or six that are my favourites. Usually the latest song I’ve written is the favourite. But songs I’ve written such as Ballad of a Wrong’un, The History of Flies and Sick Sister are the favourites that have found the right balance and endured.

What about the songs or songwriters that have most influenced you? Bob Dylan was right there from the start, twisting my brain with ideas that went right beyond radio 2AY in Albury’s standard fare. He made me think you can take music into strange and astonishing new directions, and say the things you hardly dared think. That’s never more important than right now, with George Orwell’s 1984 taking off right underneath our feet now, and a neo-fascist government that has to be challenged on every level, every day, to keep these wannabe totalitarian power-hungry fools in the right place. Nick Cave is the writer who maintains the artistic anger and literary power in music today for me. Apart from him I listen to a lot of Australian writers – Jimmy Dowling, Liz Stringer, for starters, and Suzannah and Van are very much in the forefront of great singer/songwriters in this country today as far as I’m concerned. What is your favourite time of day for making music? It’d have to be in the night. I’m reminded of a gig out in the desert at dawn a few years ago, with the full sun rising straight into my face and a horrible desert flu to remind me of why gigs take place in dark subterranean holes. When you’ve sufficiently woken, dealt with the day and are able to bring matters into your own realm. What should we expect for your Drill Hall show? Three unique takes on songwriting and hopefully some gold where we get together on a few songs and find the sweet spot in them.

This Friday at the Drill Hall from 7pm. Acoustic / supper show. Tix $26.50 online at www.eventfinder.com.au.

ARCHIE ROACH AND MUSIC FOR THE MOB

THIS WEEKEND SEES THE STAGING OF AN AMBITIOUS AND INSPIRING MUSICAL COLLABORATION FOCUSING ON BRINGING COMMUNITIES TOGETHER THROUGH MUSIC. ONEMOB AND CPX MUSIC APPROACHED ELEN BUTLER OF MELON EVENTS AND MUSICIAN LAURA TARGET TO CREATE BUNINJ BOOTHRUM, OR ECHIDNA DREAMING. Can you tell me what was your inspiration for Buninj Boothrum? ELEN: Lewis Walker (Wahrlabal Bygal man) and Kobya Panguana (Mozambique, Africa) team up for the love and needs of the children and elders in their communities… in Kobya’s words: ‘This Durrumbul event is a mutual vision of Lewis and me, to help the children in our communities. We first shared this vision back in Lewis’s homeland during a corroboree at Rocky River Jabulum. This project is the fruit of this dreaming. Can you tell me what Buninj Boothrum means and why you chose to call the event that? ELEN: Buninj Boothrum is Wahrlabal language meaning Echidna Dreaming. The event is being held at Durrumbul Hall and the totem animal for that country is the echidna. This name was chosen for the event in respect for the original languages of this caldera and to call all people to gather together and honour our land of milk and honey. With this event may we celebrate a common dream of respect and love for all country and all culture. Why do you think music is so powerful in bringing people together? LAURA: Music is a language that everybody understands. It grabs the heartstrings, transcends all sense of separation and nurtures a sense of unity. How did you manage to get Archie Roach to come and headline? That’s a very big name for a country hall! ELEN: We were wanting an artist who would bring local elders from far and wide to the hall and when we thought of Archie we knew he’s the one! Archie Roach has family ties in this region with Lewis and others and is very supportive of this event. Uncle Archie would like us all to know that he is really looking forward to this gathering!

THE BEEP TEST

to insist on having their own way was a good idea? My kids came out of the womb beeping at me. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Mum Mum Mum Mum.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; And god knows thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no shutoff button for that. They know there is a point where the Mum Mum will invade a woman on a cellular level and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll stop anything sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing and scream â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;WHAT??â&#x20AC;&#x2122; But at least thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a chance of reasoning with a kid. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Go away, Mummyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s busy closing the fridge.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reason with a machine.

Once it even started beeping at me because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d put my $500 designer handbag on the passenger seat. I NEVER put that bag on the floor. It gets its own fricking chair. I once made one of the kids stand on the bus just so my bag got a seat. But the car has decided the bag is so heavy it needs a seat belt. It wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop beeping at me. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m yelling at the car, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a handbag you idiotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. In the end I got so sick of it I pulled over and did the seat belt up. I guess on the upside, while my car is an authoritarian dictator at least my handbag was safe.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know about you, but I am tired of devices telling me what to do. So Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve started ignoring them. The other night the fire alarm was going ballistic, totally mental. Like with the kids, I am refusing to respond to that kind of inappropriate and rude behaviour. I mean, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2am. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no time to be demanding a womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention. You have to set boundaries, otherwise the kids, and your appliances, will run rings around you. Yes, well, maybe there was a little fire. But I showed that flipping beeper who was boss.

LAURA: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a blessing for us to have Archie Roach visit our shire and share his timeless music â&#x20AC;&#x201C; yes in our country hall â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a rare honour! What is it about Archie and his music that seems to reach people of all tribes, all ages? ELEN: Some musicians are timeless; they speak and sing directly from the spirit realms to the hearts and minds of all people. Archie sings from the salt of his flesh-and-blood true-life story and his voice lifts us beyond the bounds of pain and suffering and into the power of love and forgiveness. Uncle Archieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music reaches the spirit and soul within each of us. Tell me a little more about the other artists on the bill. LAURA: Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re excited to have a huge lineup of local and national artists including national treasure Kerrianne Cox, beloved elder from Uluru, Uncle Bob Randall, rising star Jennifer Williams, Bologaman â&#x20AC;&#x201C; featuring Lewis Walker and Anthony Gordon, muchloved Murray Kyle, gypsy-vibed Shakshuka, Amir Pais, Whaledreamers, Elen Evolove, Steve Andrews & Bentley Boyz, Rose Rath, Adam Pippen, Elliot Orr and our local youth sensation Earth Guardians Australia.

DROP LEGS

DROP LEGS AT THE HOTEL GREAT NORTHERN ON SUNDAY

Byron Bay band Drop Legs is an exciting 4-piece outfit playing an upbeat mash of reggae, hip-hop, funk and garage. The guys came together through mutual love of surfing, skating and street culture. Drop Legs will be supporting the Sticky Fingers on Sunday at the Hotel Great Northern. There is also an east coast and Indonesian tour coming up in the summer. Expect a lot of big drops, jumping, dancing and rapping!

THE YOUNG SPIRIT OF THE BAY Spirit of the Bay is this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one-day festival being put together by the Events Management students at the Byron Youth Activities Centre. Originally planned for Saturday, the crew have taken on a new event management challenge and moved the event to Sunday so as not to clash with the Echidna Dreaming event at Durrumbul on Saturday. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s some mean feat, because Spirit of the Bay is a massive event, featuring Aussie supergroup Wolfmother, supported by a huge array of both local and national artists and DJs including Nathan Kaye, Dallas James, Wandering Eyes, Rich Latimer Trio, Essie Thomas and many, many more. In fact the lineup is so huge youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d need a whole page to print them on! With twelve feature bands and musicians, seven DJs and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;unearthingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; eleven new emerging local artists, this is one doozy of an event that is set to rock the YAC in ways itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never been rocked before! From 11am till 11pm at the Byron YAC. Support the amazing young people of this town and come and see what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve pulled off!

TRIPLE J’S UNEARTHED COMP HAS BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR DELIVERING SOME AUSSIE TREASURES. ONE TRUE GEM IS MELBOURNE’S INDIE FOLK DARLINGS, HUSKY. Having just released Rucker’s Hill, the follow-up album to Forever So, the band have revealed a new maturity in this very considered approach to recording. Gideon Preiss (vocals / keys) believes second albums are hard to make in the way any significant body of work is hard. ‘I’d imagine the same goes for writing a novel, making a film or producing a play. In the beginning, the writing process alone requires many hours of hard, concentrated, focused work. And of course, this is just the very beginning!’ The band had set high expectations for this album. ‘After the release of Forever So we toured extensively for a year across Australia, Europe and America. You learn a lot about playing live when you do it every night. Something we felt from playing so many shows was that we probably needed a more dynamic show. In the past we’ve written more dreamy, atmospheric, folky tunes but this time round we felt we needed some more upbeat ones.’ There were many influences on Ruckers Hill, with Deep Sky Diver paying homage to the great late Nick Drake. For many artists Drake is a songwriting touchstone who keeps drawing them in. ‘He’s one of those artists who when you try to explain why he’s so amazing you can never quite capture it. One thing about Nick Drake is that you don’t realise how complex his writing is until you take time to peel away the layers. That is one of the hardest things to do as a writer – to write something simple and complex.’ So what should we be expecting for the Mullum Music Festival show? ‘Mullum Fest is one of the great Aussie festivals. It’s both the artists’ and the people’s festival, where the musicians and the punters all blend into one, the way music is supposed to be shared. So we’re expecting a good old time and are happy to play among so many great Aussie acts. By the time the festival rolls around we will be about three weeks into our national tour in support of the new record so the band should be pretty gig-fit and hopefully sounding tight!’

Got something you’re passionate, outraged or angry about? Want to sing it out from the stages of the 2014 Mullum Music Festival and Falls Music & Arts Festival Byron? Submit an original or cover of a protest song to the Play Mullum and Falls Song Competition and it could see YOU being heralded as the new-era Dylan, Bragg or Franti. This year the winner will get to perform a 20-minute set at both Mullum Music Festival (20–23 Nov) and Falls Music & Arts Festival Byron (30 Dec–3 Jan), a double pass to both festivals and a feature profile in Rhythms magazine. Your original protest song or cover version will be judged by the editorial team from Rhythms magazine. Play Mullum & Falls Protest Song Competition closes 5pm, 3 November 2014. Entry details at www. mullummusicfestival.com.

WAYWARD AT FEDERAL The Wayward Nightingales have created a sound that is one minute intimate, the next dusty and joyful. These three women have obviously taken long journeys among traditional, country and folk music with a lively wanderlust of original songs with subtle insight and honesty accompanied by slide guitar, banjo, fiddle and mandolin in perceptive and fearless instrumentation. This Saturday from noon at Federal’s Doma Cafe.

WOLF WITH A SOCIAL CONSCIENCE Wolfmother and more of the Byron music and creative community are coming together to raise money for clean drinking water in India and Africa! Stop Poverty is an organisation that works on small-scale projects as a contribution to the global effort, creating lasting and effective education, clean water, housing, and health care. Kicking off at 2pm at the Byron Brewery, Stop Poverty Fundraiser will include: Wolfmother, MT Warning, A Little Province, Vernas Keep, The Badlands, Grand Pavilion, Luke Morris, Garrett Kato, The Loathing, Taya, SessionKatz, Wandering Eyes, Boom Faya, Vinnie LaDuce, Free Like Me, Chiko, markets, food, brews and DJs. $25 tix from: ticketbooth.com.au. This Saturday at Byron Bay Brewery, 2pm start, $25 (all proceeds go to STOP POVERTY FUND).

WOLFMOTHER HEADLINE THE BYRON YAC INITIATIVE AT THE YAC AMPHITHEATRE ON SUNDAY KICKING OFF AT 11AM AND SATURDAY AT THE BYRON BREWERY STOP POVERTY FUNDRAISER

The Jalapeno Trio has always been somewhat of a hit on the Byron scene. Favouring the subtleness of the double bass, the colour of the jazz-box guitar and light brushwork of a skilled drummer they have spent the last few years refining the sound in and around the northern rivers from the coast of Byron and out to the freshwater hills. They play at the Ginger Pig in Byron Bay on Thursday at 7pm.

DON’T BE LATE If you love classic rock music from the 60s and 70s, don’t miss Late For Woodstock performing live at The Lennox Hotel on Saturday and the Beach Hotel on Sunday. Late For Woodstock grew up in the iconic Woodstock era, with the band members experiencing firsthand the counterculture of the sixties which unleashed an explosion of unprecedented musical experimentation onto the world stage. Inspired by the legion of artists who rocked the establishment and embraced a generation with their unbridled passion and creativity, they formed a band to pay homage to the trail of sonic gems they left in their wake. Late For Woodstock brings the unforgettable sounds and sentiments of the Woodstock era back to live audiences with an extensive song list, paying tribute to dozens of classic rock legends including The Doors, The Rolling Stones, CCR, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Pink Floyd, Neil Young and too many more to mention.

THE RETURN OF THE PERCH Local band Perch Creek announce their homecoming tour after a huge thirty-date European, UK and Canadian tour with performances at Womad (UK), Edinburgh Fringe and countless other festivals and venues. While overseas, the band also took time off from gigging to spend a week writing in a secluded house nestled in the green hills of Wales, thus successfully furthering their explorations with collaborative writing. The exciting new material has formed the basis of the work-in-progress that is to become their next album. Their latest album release, 2014’s Jumping On The Highwire has received glowing accolades and was recently nominated for Best Independent Country Album in the Carlton Dry Independent Music Awards. Perch Creek play harmony-driven roots music with a creative energy and fearless spirit that sparkles with imagination and individuality. The band consistently deliver unforgettable,

ENTERTAINMENT MOTHERS GROUP WITH A DIFFERENCE!

ROGUE LAUNCH ALL OUR EXES LIVE IN TEXAS PLAY THE COUR IN MULLUMBIMBY ON THURSDAY

All Our Exes Live in Texas is a fantasy draft of Sydney musical talent: Elana Stone, Katie Wighton, Hanna Crofts and Georgia Mooney – all beautiful performers in their own right – combining in four-part folk heaven. They sing about love, punch-ups and everything in between… so on the eve of their Mullum show, Seven caught up for a few short and curlies. So why did you choose a name like All Our Exes Live in Texas? We were searching for a name and typed in ‘Worst Country Song Titles of All Time’ and All My Exes Live in Texas was on the top of the list. It’s a George Strait song that we will have to learn how to play one day… What brought you four together? Our friend James from The Morrisons booked a country-themed night at The Vanguard in Sydney and said, ‘I’m booking you guys; you should put a band together,’ so we picked up instruments and got a set together! Why do you think love and heartbreak are such grand themes in music? Why do we never tire of them? I mean that’s just writing songs about life and your experiences – it’s just another outlet of expression of something you want to get off your chest or tell a story… I will never tire of a well-written folk/country song. It’s an incredible art form and will always hit a chord within you when you find a beautiful song. What is it do you think that makes AOELIT such a unique melodic ensemble? All four of us are solo musicians and do regular solo shows – I think the uniqueness of AOELIT comes from this combination of four really different musicians coming together to play and write music together. We are all weird and funny and musically very different – so hopefully that all comes together to create our unique sound. Do you always manage perfect harmonies? Are there ever times when someone falls off the perch? Ha-ha! I’m sure it is very hard for anyone to manage perfect harmonies! We make mistakes all the time but that’s half the fun of our band – we don’t take ourselves too seriously. It’s not a big deal if you make a mistake and I think that means we just keep playing together and improve! And that hopefully it’s a good time for the audience to watch! How would you describe your onstage performance? Someone described it as a mothers’ group once! That’s always stuck with me. We play each other’s songs together, make jokes, have a great time – we want our live show to be both musically and personally entertaining for the audience. What should our local crowds expect at your Mullum show? We have never played in Mullum before so expect four pretty excited ladies! That and some songs about heartbreak, perfect harmonies and probably a bunch of mistakes! All Our Exes Live in Texas play the Court House in Mullumbimby on Thursday with special guest Merryn Boller. Show at 7.30pm, and tickets either at the door (if available) or at www.mullummusic.com.

T HOUSE

high-energy shows – at moments haunting, but ultimately uplifting. They are excited to be hitting the road on home soils once again, bringing with them Melbourne folk singer Alex Hamilton as support. Saturday at the Bangalow Bowlo. Tix $20 presale or $25 on the door.

OKA ON SUNDAY With a signature sound and unforgettable live reputation, OKA is still serving their progressive roots music. Electrified didgeridoo, heavy slide guitar, soaring flutes and juju rhythms are some of the many ingredients in this Australian sound that’s matured over a decade. Humble beginnings busking on street corners have led to global tripping and independent CD sales in excess of 100,000 albums. Their past is unique and reflects a sun-drenched coastal lifestyle they call home. Almost solely known through word of mouth, the unconventional growth of these Aussie boys defies the norm. Relying on instinct, they have let their music and love for performing dictate direction. Each gig has a large element of jamming as well as album favourites. OKA gigs create a real-time soundtrack and an empowering vibe leaving listeners hungry for more. Catch them on Sunday at the Hotel Brunswick.

GET THE VIBE After nearly a decade of success, Island Vibe Festival – now in its 9th year – is proud to confirm its full lineup of artist announcements for this year. With more than 80 acts, highlights include the multi-platinum soul phenomenon Finley Quaye from the UK, the legendary songman Archie Roach, the irresistible 21st century groove of Melbourne’s Afro funk ensemble The Black Jesus Experience.

The Rogue Gene are excited to announce the release of their latest single Highway Blues from their forthcoming third studio recording. The Billinudgel Hotel will play host to the event and will feature Belle Hendrik on bass and vocals, Barry Milan guitars and vocals, John Hill on piano and Hammond, with Rex Carter on the drums. This show will be a celebration of a great year, which saw The Rogue Gene being nominated for a Chain Award for best new artist and their CD Soul Food at Johnnie Lee Fongs featured on the blues and roots charts. Sunday at 2pm.

Hurt, The Band, Gram Parsons, Emmylou Harris, Neil Young. In the summer of 2012, having long lived and played music in New York City (and the nearby Adirondack Mountains), they had an idea: What if they put their city lives on hold and, armed with just guitars and backpacks, travelled the 2,500 miles of highways and byways of the Mississippi River, from Minnesota to Louisiana. So, they did. The result is the Malcolm Burn-produced (Emmylou Harris, Patti Smith), Riverman’s Daughter, the husband-and-wife duo’s first album as The Grahams. Catch them at the Rails on Thursday.

FLAIR FOR FLAMENCO Dance, dance, dance for the very first time at The Bowlo, with a dance group direct from Spain. Marcoiris, the Spanish guitarist, has travelled 18 countries, living among the gypsies to learn the diverse and passionate guitar of Flamenco. He produced five albums along the way. Natilie, a Spanish dancer for 12 years, joins in with castanets, Spanish shawl, and dynamic footwork. Friday at the Bangalow Bowlo. Doors: 7pm, Tix: $20

RIVERMAN’S DAUGHTER Singer-guitarists Alyssa and Doug Graham have been friends since primary school and romantic partners for most of the time since. At the heart of their relationship has always been a penchant for American roots music: The Carter Family, Mississippi John

Running from Friday 31 October till Sunday 2 November across three stages, Island Vibe Festival is one of Australia’s best-loved outdoor festivals. With a diverse program featuring some of the world’s finest roots music and DJs, cultural acts, circus, cabaret, kids’ activities, art galleries and workshops Island Vibe Festival – set against the stunning backdrop of Minjerribah, Stradbroke Island – has become a favourite destination experience for festival goers of all ages.

THREE GUITARS Ralph Towner, Wolfgang Muthspiel and Slava Grigoryan are acclaimed as three of the world’s finest guitarists in their own fields. At the end of the month they head to Byron Theatre as part of their Australian tour. Grigoryan is the pre-eminent Australian classical guitarist of his generation and Austrian Muthspiel has been an important figure on the transatlantic jazz scene for two decades. They share one musical hero in particular: the legendary Ralph Towner. The American-born Towner is a celebrated acoustic guitarist and a truly inspirational innovator on the modern musical landscape – his ideas ever fresh, though they span a career of more than 30 years. Sunday 26 October, 7.30pm. Bookings: 6685 6807 or visit the website at www.byroncentre.com.au.

KATCHAFIRE ON FIRE Katchafire are New Zealand’s biggest reggae export, and for lovers of reggae there are none better. The crew will be playing at The Brewery on Thursday 13 November. It’s been more than a year since they’ve last played in Byron, and this time they will be supported by New Caledonia’s up-andcomers I&I and local reggae crew Oren Selecta & Baptist.

PITCH IT FOR MENTAL HEALTH

Almost every band these days claims to have wide and varied influences – but the EP Shards of Glass from the Gold Coast’s Kiara Jack & The Jills truly embodies this diversity. The band’s live performances echo the sounds of ‘world’ meets ‘contemporary’ with the eclectic-edged voice of Kiara Jack at the centre of their sound. Kiara Jack & The Jills are renowned for their live shows, which feature instruments such as the yidaki (didgeridoo), blues harp and melody horn, taking the audience on a unique journey of music and vivid storytelling. Friday at the Bangalow Hotel.

DRESS UP FOR PEACE

This Wednesday night Pizza Paradiso is offering prizes for poetry in honour of well-loved local poet, artist and filmmaker Geraldine Bigelow who died of breast cancer aged 41 in 2009.

DRACULA UNTOLD

THE JUDGE

At a princely wedding banquet in medieval Transylvania, a gang of odious Ottoman delegates arrives unannounced to decree that they will conscript 1,000 young men from the vicinity to take part in the assault on Vienna.

Hollywood loves small-town America. Its character has changed over the years and its inhabitants are no longer squeaky clean – Atticus Finch now gets high – but for all the wisecracks with which city sophisticates lambast it, it is still clung to as the place where the nation’s core values remain stubbornly alive and well. Judge Palmer (Robert Duvall) has held court at Hicksville, Indiana, for forty-two years. Prodigal son Hank (Robert Downey Jr) is a slick Chicago defence lawyer.

The dilettante in me recalled that it was through this historic siege that the humble croissant was introduced into Europe. That’s the sort of movie this is – it’s very easy to be waylaid by other thoughts. Essentially a cartoon with real people in Madame Tussaud costumes doing an approximation of acting (Sarah Gadon as Mirena, the ivory-complexioned beauty in the long white gown, is embarrassingly awful), it tells the story of how Vlad the Impaler (Luke Evans) was transformed, against his will, into that horny old blood-sucker, Count Dracula. Apart from Mirena’s secret covenant with the witches, presumably a fall-back enabling Vlad’s fate to be blamed on women, Gary Shore’s mindless entertainment ticks all the boxes in recycling the tropes of the genre – the terror of sunlight, retractable fangs and wooden stakes, the cross to ward off evil, and a duel fought on a floor of silver coins. I would not have appreciated this last innovation had I not learnt from NZ’s uproarious Things We Do In The Shadows that vampires cannot abide silver and that they sizzle up when touched by the metal (cinema is a great educator, is it not?). In fact, the dialogue throughout is spoken in a melodramatic Black Forest Cake accent that suggests all of the participants had been to the same speech coach as Taiga Waititi and his satin-draped Kiwi mates. The swarms of bats are terrific and the concluding scene with Dracula cruising a modern-day metropolis as Charles Dance drums his Nosferatu-like fingernails on a glass-top cafe table augurs well for fans of the undead. As juvenile tosh, it is what it is – no more, no less – and I left without giving it a second thought, preoccupied instead by the idea of getting some croissants in for tomorrow’s breakfast.

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

Hank goes home to attend the funeral of his mother and is called upon to stay when the judge is faced with a murder charge after running down in his Cadillac a released crim with whom he has history. The screenplay, by Nick Schenck (Gran Torino) and Bill Dubuque, is a watertight setup of weights and counterbalances, light and shade, and an ingenuousness that never falters into hollow cliche. A slow-burn intrigue that evolves into a highly charged courtroom drama, the great strength of David Dobkin’s film lies in the adversarial pairing of the two leads. Downey Jr is at first a bit too flip, and you fear that he will just regurgitate the smart-arsed Tony Stark of Ironman, while, likewise, Duvall initially appears to be simply doing his cantankerous codger thing. But, seasoned actors that they are, they bring out the best in each other as Hank comes to understand his dad’s old-school reverence for justice at the same time as the ailing judge begins to appreciate the lawyerly achievements of his estranged middle son. An outstanding support cast – Vincent D’Onofrio and Jeremy Strong as Hank’s brothers, Vera Farmiga as the girl who never left town, and Billy Bob Thornton on auto as the prosecuting attorney – and a beautiful sense of nostalgia created by Super 8 footage of the family when Mom was alive, all help to underline the basic truths that we neglect at our peril. Mainstream cinema can often serve to reinforce those truths – as it does here. A smart movie with a ton of heart.

SUSAN KADEN

WHAT, A LOVELY HAPPY NIGHT WE ALL HAD AT THE OPENING OF PLAYING ON THE EDGE AT ART PIECE GALLERY.

SHE’S STILL STANDING! COMEDIAN MANDY NOLAN CELEBRATES 30 YEARS IN THE BUSINESS NEXT YEAR. Quite a feat for a girl who had no intention of being a comedian. Nolan’s evolution as a woman has mirrored her evolution on stage. ‘I feel like I have grown up on stage. I started at 17. So I used to talk about the things that were issues for me then. Like not being able to pay the rent or afford alcohol. Real problems.’ Nolan’s comedy has seen her through relationships, three husbands, five children, and now as she approaches the age when most women start to ‘disappear’ Nolan insists that she won’t be going that easily. One of Nolan’s greatest passions in comedy has been teaching others. ‘I have been at it for around 17 years now and have taught more than 1,000 people. While only a handful of those have gone on to be successful professional comics, I know that it has been one of those bucket-list moments for people where they got a chance to do something that scared them!’ Nolan is enthusiastic about the new talent in the industry. ‘As an older comedian there is nothing more exciting than hearing the fresh new voices coming through. I particularly love the sassy young women that are taking to the stage. It was a pretty lonely journey when I was doing the circuit all those years ago – I would have loved a few more girls to hang out with!’ Mandy Nolan is the featured MC at the Byron Brewery’s free comedy night BellyLaugh at the Brewery on Thursday at 8pm. Featuring some special guest comedians from Brisbane, alongside some fresh new local talent! PS: Mandy Nolan has recently been diagnosed with ‘speaking about yourself in the third person’ disorder. She believes it makes it sound like she has a management company sending out releases. But we all know it’s just her.

26 October 14, 2014 The Byron Shire Echo

Sculptor Susan Kaden recently moved to the Byron area from Brisbane. Susan studied Art, majoring in sculpture with a special interest in bronze and public art and taught secondary and primary art. Over the past three years Susan studied under Master Sculptors in the USA, France and Italy while also receiving a Master of Fine Art award from UTAS.

Oksana Waterfall’s detailed drawings, embellished by the traditional embroidery of her Ukrainian heritage, gave us a glimpse into her childhood, Mandy Nolan’s wistful, whimsical little drawings allowed us a glimpse into her quiet - yes, it’s true!, private place and Zom Osborne’s fierce but hopeful figures nudged us (if not reprimanded us) into renewed respect for earth.

She was commissioned to create four bronze busts for St Laurence’s College Brisbane in 2012 and recently completed a large monument and water feature which will be unveiled 2015.

LISMORE REGIONAL GALLERY Lismore Regional Gallery hosts Australia’s richest combined Aboriginal Art Prize as the 2013 Parliament of New South Wales Aboriginal Art Prize until 26 October. More than 30 unique works by contemporary Aboriginal artists will be on display, including the winner of the 2013 Award, Karla Dickens. The works included in the 2013 prize explore a myriad of social and personal subjects, including memory, identity, community, and land. The tour showcases a variety of media and techniques, from traditional to contemporary. Join Karla Dickens and Fiona Foley, on Thursday 9 October from 5.30pm, as they speak about what drives their practices and the ways in which they are inspired by one another. Part of a series of talks matchmaking local artists with someone who inspires them from outside the region, this conversation promises to be an exciting exchange of ideas about the chemistry of creativity. ‘I first saw Fiona’s work in art school over 20 years ago and it had a profound impact on me. It was the first time I had taken in Aboriginal art as contemporary work. Her work was very feminine and it embodied a gutsy feminist Indigenous voice.’ – Karla Dickens. Lismore Regional Gallery is located at 131 Molesworth Street in Lismore. Visit their website at www.lismoregallery.org or phone 6622 2209.

BYRON SCHOOL OF ART Byron School of Art has officially moved to Bangalow! To celebrate they have three new short courses on offer, and are now interviewing students for 2015 year-long courses.

DEATH NOTICES ROALFE, Keith. Passed away peacefully at Mullumbimby Hospital on Tuesday 7 October 2014 with his loving family by his side. Aged 84. Dearly loved husband of Shirley & loved father & father-in-law of Garry, David & Ann and Carol & Neil. Much loved Poppy of his 7 grandchildren & 5 great-grandchildren. We always loved you & will never forget you. As he requested, a family service was held at Mullumbimby Garden Cemetery on Monday 13 October.

FUNERAL NOTICES PEARSON (nee RICE), IRENE VERONICA

Polly is a gorgeous kitten but a little shy. Her sister Molly, however, is the real social butterﬂy. As they complement each other so well and because Polly needs Molly to bring her out of her shell, we’d love to see them go to a home together. Their beautiful mum was part Maine Coon and these 2 have certainly inherited their mum’s good looks.

Backlash Koalas have once again taken a back seat to property devlopment as Byron councillors pushed ahead with approving plans at Ewingsdale for doctors’ surgeries, shops and seniors’ housing, despite requests from residents for a deferral. Cr Rose Wanchap, who went from greenish to joining the pro-development push during the course of her council career, copped a bollocking from the public gallery, while ecologist Dailan Pugh decried the fact that councillors keep deferring a koala management plan. While the greenish councillors try valiantly to wind back the clock to when Council actually cared about the environment, the majority presses on heedlessly. Q Q Q Q

they couldn’t do the rezoning, even despite an offer by the landholders to pay for a dedicated planner of the council’s choice,’ he said. ‘Subsequently the Keneally government made the decision to declare [West Byron site] a site of state significance and to deal with the rezoning.
