Thousands join in gasfield-free rally

‘Cancel licences’ Gasfield Free coordinator and rally organiser Elly Bird said, ‘The determination and commitment of the community of the northern rivers to remain gasfield free is undeniable. ‘This community is saying loud and clear that they want full cancellation of the licences across the region, and nothing less will serve. ‘Today’s event makes it very clear that opposition to invasive gasfields in the region is not going away. ‘The NSW government needs to take decisive action and join Labor and the Greens in making a com-

mitment to permanently protect our region.’ Jenny Dowell, mayor of Lismore, said, ‘We sent a strong message to governments and candidates before the March election. Our communities do not want unconventional mining here – not now, not ever. So mining companies may as well pack up and leave.’ The rally also saw the launch of four large signs that will be erected at each of the main arterial road gateways to the region, welcoming all travellers to ‘Gasfield Free Northern Rivers – protected by community.’ ‘There are now 142 self-declared Gasfield Free communities in this region,’ said Aidan Ricketts, spokesperson for Gasfield Free Northern Rivers, an alliance of community groups. ‘The survey question was: “Do you want your neighbourhood Gasfield Free?” To this simple question an overwhelming 95.3% said yes.

‘With over 31,000 respondents, these community surveys show the strength of our resistance.” ‘We have mass-movement dynamics here. The region won’t cop it.

Martial law? ‘We’ve shown we can mount massive, effective nonviolent actions. Do they really want to attempt mining by martial law?’ NSW premier Mike Baird and Lismore’s National Party MP Thomas George were invited to the rally but did not attend. When asked directly by Echonedaily whether he would cancel gas licences in the region, Mr Baird refused to give a straight answer, instead blaming Labor for ‘the mess’ they left behind.

Resident power forces Council backtrack over Ewingsdale Chris Dobney

Organisers of the Gasfield Free event in Lismore on Saturday have described the day as a huge success. Police estimated the numbers at 5,000 while organisers put it as high as 8,000. The day included a welcome to country, a street march in the middle of town and several speeches.

Pages 20-24

Ewingsdale residents will get a second chance to have their say on a proposed retirement village in their midst after Byron Shire Council voted last Thursday to require the developer’s proposal go out for public exhibition again. Council’s aboutface came in the form of a rescission motion, cancelling its previous resolution – taken less than a month ago – to change the zoning of the land in its new LEP. The decision was taken with just one dissenter, Cr Alan Hunter, but followed heated and at times rowdy debate. From the outset, the passion of Ewingsdale residents was on show, with many of them holding placards supporting the rescission.

Two per cent support During public access three residents spoke supporting the rescission motion, revealing that a doorknocking campaign of the area over two weekends had shown less than two per cent support for the plan. By contrast, 94 per cent of the 234 resi-

dents interviewed said they did not support the proposed development. Proponent Leigh Belbeck said during public access that she was ‘not fast-tracking or circumventing but following the gateway process’.

‘Not Belbeck’s fault’ She said, ‘Two hundred information leaflets were sent out to residents’, and added advertising had also been bought in The Echo ahead of a series of information sessions she ran. ‘Approximately 100 people attended three meetings,’ she said. ‘It’s not Belbeck’s fault if people weren’t aware or feel they didn’t have time to come. ‘A market research survey shows strong support from older residents,’ she added. But the Ewingsdale residents responded with figures from their survey, with progress association member Kirsty Nugent saying the community felt they were, ‘told what [Belbeck] want to do; we weren’t asked.’ She also questioned ‘why the rights of one group of people to do continued on page 2

Local News Resident power forces Council backtrack continued from page 1 what they want with their land overrides the wishes of the other 94 per cent of local landholders?’ The plan originally got the tick to proceed to the state government’s gateway process from Council in September last year after the government gave the go-ahead for the construction of Byron Central Hospital on the adjoining block. But mayor Simon Richardson was the first to admit the public consultation process was flawed because Council had allowed the developers to run the process rather than doing so itself.

‘Worst decision’ ‘It was the worst decision I’ve made in six years and I accept that error,’ he said. ‘At that stage we had no inclination to do a growth management strategy and we had no opportunity to look at this strategically. What has changed is we now have that strategic planning process.’ Cr Paul Spooner also urged fellow councillors to reconsider the motion in the light of the survey result. ‘People can change their mind because of new informa-

tion. I think it’s very reasonable to have 28 days to have another look at it,’ he said. ‘Residents are ringing a warning bell on the planning processes enacted by this council over last couple of years. I certainly want to acknowledge I made a mistake and want to see it picked up today.’ Cr Chris Cubis raised the spectre of the state government taking over planning control of the area if the council backtracked on its decision.‘If we rescind this motion are saying we want this motion to be handed over to the state?’ he queried. ‘The people of Ewingsdale were informed. Whether they chose to “get informed” is another issue,’ he added.

Tirade at mayor Cr Cubis then launched into a tirade at the mayor, blaming him for ‘a torrent of abusive email’ he had received over the issue. Cr Richardson retorted that Cr Cubis had only his ‘own stupidity’ to blame, whereupon Cr Di Woods declared no confidence in the chair and demanded a vote. The matter was put to the vote, with only Crs Cubis and

Woods voting in support. Under questioning from Cr Sol Ibrahim, planning director Ray Darney said he didn’t believe the state had the appetite to take on another Byron development, even if approached by the developers to do so. ‘It’s unlikely the Department of Planning would take over the project. Bayside Brunswick has been with them for 10 years and West Byron for six years,’ he said. Ultimately, Cr Ibrahim brokered a deal with the motion’s mover Cr Duncan Dey, which saw a clause deleted relating to the investigation of sewerage requirements without it having to go to amendment. Cr Ibrahim argued, and Cr Dey accepted, that as sewerage would be a necessity for the hospital it would be available for the site at a minimal additional expense. This face-saving arrangement allowed the pro-development councillors (with the exception of Cr Hunter) to vote together with progressive councillors to back the rescission.

Man ejected from council meeting Chris Dobney

A veteran Byron Shire Council watcher was dragged from the chambers at the conclusion of the morning session yesterday after calling ‘once too often’ for Cr Rose Wanchap to resign. Byron Bay resident Jim Beatson had earlier been censured by mayor Simon Richardson for making similar calls during the session and was told he would be forcibly removed if he interrupted the meeting again. So Mr Beatson watched the proceedings in silence until the meeting was declared adjourned, whereupon he took to his feet once again began shouting his demand of Cr Wanchap.

As councillors looked on, a private security guard hired by Council began to forcibly remove him from the chamber. Cr Wanchap shouted back, ‘Why is he allowed to shout this abuse at me and I’m not entitled to reply?’ Mr Beatson later told Echonetdaily he was shocked

that the security guard had ejected him without the mayor specifically requesting it. A spokesperson for Council said it was not the first time it had hired private security for a council meeting. Q Jim Beatson’s letter, page 12

Plans to normalise death at Mullum cafe The Natural Death Care Centre has organised a Death Cafe for November 11 at the Empire Cafe in Mullumbimby. How do you begin a conversation about death? Over delicious food and drink in a relaxed cafe atmosphere, according to facilitators Kylie Duncan and Rosie Kaplan. ‘Death is a part of every-

day life and being given permission to talk about it somehow “normalises” it,’ say Kylie and Rosie. Death Cafe is part of a global movement that brings people together for lively conversations about death. Its aim is to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their finite lives.

Death Cafe at Mullumbimby will be from 6pm to 8.30pm: ‘We encourage participants to share a meal with us as we participate in lively discussions about death.’ Death Cafe is a free event, however places are limited. If you are interested in attending please email Kylesdun@hotmail.com or Rosiekaplan1@gmail.com.

On Sunday morning more than fifty kids, locals and from as far as Doomadgee (north west Queensland), made a splash at the Burra Jurra Surf Day held at The Pass. Participants in the program, co-hosted by Steve Foreman from Surfing Far North Coast, Gavin Brown from the Bundjalung of Byron Bay Aboriginal (Arakwal) and helped by a handful of generous volunteers, welcomed a cool southerly change and a great reprieve from the hot northerly winds of late.

Premier refuses to back calls for gas-free region Darren Coyne

NSW premier Mike Baird last Friday refused to be drawn on calls to declare the northern rivers a gasfieldfree region. The premier arrived at the Ballina/Byron Gateway Airport in the morning to be greeted by members of the Gasfield Free Northern Rivers group. GFNR coordinator Dean Draper presented the premier with a letter inviting him to attend last Saturday’s rally, while Meg Nielsen gave Mr Baird a basket of the region’s produce. The letter pointed out that there are now 142 selfdeclared gasfield-free communities in the region, with an average of 95.3 per cent of respondents declaring they

swer, instead blaming Labor for ‘the mess’ they left behind. ‘There is an audit being undertaken by the energy minister and we have shown already that we are prepared to act,’ he said. ‘Obviously this is symptomatic of the

mess we inherited from Labor where licences were issued without any scrutiny and without any protection for the community. ‘The minister recently announced a suspension of all new licences while we get the house in order.’ Mr Baird said his government would shortly be releasing its gas policy, which would be based upon recommendations from the NSW chief scientist. ‘We won’t be supporting anything which is done without the appropriate rigour and scientific analysis.’ Mr Baird accused NSW Labor of putting out mixed messages with regards to coal seam gas. ‘Listening to them is like listening to Lance Armstrong speaking out against drugs in sport,’ he said.

Council rocks on at Belongil despite state government advice to the contrary Chris Dobney

Belongil residents will ‘get their rocks on’ after Byron Shire Council on Thursday voted to go ahead with plans for an ‘interim’ rock wall on their beach against the advice of the Office of Environment and Heritage. Thursday’s decision follows the rejection of a motion by Greens Cr Duncan Dey to put the project on hold until the council completes a longawaited Coastal Zone Management Plan (CZMP), now due in June next year. But if councillors expected to receive any thanks from the affected landowners they had to think again. The plan’s greatest advocate, Belongil resident John Vaughan, spent much of his allocated public access time railing against a legal agreement Council had asked landowners to sign, describing it as a ‘40-page tome’ and comparing it to the ‘one-page document’ he had been provided in 2001, when a previous council was considering the issue. Echonetdaily understands Mr Vaughan is the only affected landholder still to sign the document, and ironically now the only impediment to the rock wall going ahead. Also speaking on the

subject at public access was Karl Goodsell from Positive Change for Marine Life, who said there were ‘literally hundreds of examples from around Australia of dire consequences’ that had resulted from the building of sea walls. ‘A UNSW thesis written specifically on [Belongil] said that intervention can “interfere with and interrupt the natural processes”,’ he said.

Funds withdrawn The move to hold off construction followed a series of letters from the Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) this month, which spelt out to Council staff that the the rock wall in its current design would not attract some $300,000 funding that it had previously promised. But OEH said that fund-

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

ing could still be available if Council instead chose to first complete the CZMP and reconsider the design in that context.

Motion defeated The carrot of state funds did not tempt conservative councillors, however, who defeated the motion with the aid of Greens defector Cr Rose Wanchap (Crs Dey, Richardson, Spooner and Cameron for). Cr Wanchap spoke against the motion, using a slideshow of the ageing geotech bags, which she said were ‘there one day and gone the next’ to bolster her argument. Cr Cameron raised the issue of alternative funding and said ‘we should give the community the opportunity to decide on whether to pay

a million dollars for maybe six months’. He was also critical of the options for funding the wall provided by Council staff. ‘There’s $398,000 to come from the infrastructure renewal fund, which is meant for potholes and parks,’ he said. ‘I see the employee leave entitlements reserve is also to be raided.’ Under questioning from the mayor, infrastructure services director Phil Holloway said Council had spent in excess of $2 million over ten years on the existing geobag structure, ‘including repair and replacement’. Mr Holloway said a new wall constructed of geobags instead of rocks ‘would cost around $600,000’. Mayor Simon Richardson said, ‘What’s changed now is OEH won’t fund it because the wall is way too big, unnecessary and will undermine the CZMP. ‘The state’s pre-eminent coastal scientists [the NSW Coastal Panel] have said the same thing. Do we spend [money] for 100 metres now, when if the CZMP says we shouldn’t have sea walls we then have to pay to remove it?’ Q Cr Dey responds, page 11 Q Read more on this story at

The Widow’s Cottage is an important venue for the Byron Youth Service (BYS) which provides great activities for teens in the Mullumbimby area. In recent times the cottage has been in need of spruce-up and a good man has come to its aid. Local resident Andrew Hall has come to the rescue on several occasions in the past and recently provided a large donation to refurbish the cottage’s kitchen. ‘Thanks to a generous do-

Byron plan to regulate holiday letting on display A plan to try to regulate Byron Shire’s booming but illegal holiday letting industry is now out for public comment. Up to 900 properties in the Shire are understood to be currently holiday let, and the longstanding issue, according to mayor Simon Richardson, has caused many sleepless nights for some residents. Community input is being sought for the Draft Short Term Holiday Accommodation (Holiday Letting) Strategy, worked on by planners over the past 12 months, to address the issue. Cr Richardson said the new plan recognised ‘that unregulated holiday letting can result in a loss of neighbourhood amenity through noise, traffic and undesirable behaviour’. ‘This is a longstanding issue in our community and has caused many a sleepless night for some residents,’ he said. ‘However, holiday letting makes up a significant proportion of our bed stock that underpins our strong visitor economy. ‘This strategy aims to continue the conversation with the wider community and see if it meets their expectations on Council’s role in assisting

With only days to go until the opening night of its 2014 Wearable Arts performance event, ‘Starfall’, the energy at Shearwater, the Mullumbimby Steiner School, is nothing short of electric. The hall is awash in lights, cables and rigging; models parade the runway, trailing makeup artists and dodging dancers; and in the workshops and textile rooms, sparks and needles fly. Wearable Arts is the main event in the high school’s performing arts calendar, showcasing costumes created by high school students from Shearwater and other schools, as well as creative people from the wider community, in a performance that encompasses design, music, drama and technology. Head of school Greg Parkes said the learning program throughout the secondary years allowed students to acquire the multiple skills necessary to produce the show. ‘Leadership, teamwork, collaboration, resilience, ingenuity... all these are evident as the students choreograph the sections, construct sets, props and costumes, evolve

Abbott cops out of tax revolution

Volume 29 #21

November 4, 2014

A difficult climate Almost on the eve of the release of the fifth assessment report by the UN’S Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), our federal government stitched up a deal on ‘direct action’ with coal baron Clive Palmer. It then sent the gormless minister for environment denial Greg Hunt out on his own to spruik its benefits. Its benefits seem to be chiefly paying polluting industries for fixing up their environmental mess rather than giving the money to the renewables industry or to groups working on land care and waste reduction, such as the government’s own Green Army. Hunt is so bereft of ideas that the only thing he can think of for the reprieved Climate Change Authority to do is to review other countries’ emission trading schemes even though Abbott’s mob has no plans to introduce one. Madness. Meanwhile, back in the modern world, that bastion of capitalism, Bloomberg, is tracking the investment potential of renewables in emerging nations. It has been involved in setting up the tracking website Climatescope (http://globalclimatescope.org) and on Tuesday last week a report by Justin Doom on Bloomberg’s news service – http://bit.ly/cleanemerge – stated that emerging nations are installing renewable energy projects at almost twice the rate of developed nations: ‘The 143 per cent growth in renewables in those markets compares with an 84 per cent rate in wealthier nations.’ The investment is not just for the benefit of the climate: ‘An island nation like Jamaica, where wholesale power costs about $300 a megawatt-hour, could generate electricity from solar panels for about half as much.’ It is good to see that much of the world is not dragging the chain like Australia, but whether it will be enough to save us from the debilitating effects of climate change is a moot point. IPCC’s fifth report was released last Monday our time and the news is not good. The report observes that a continued rise in world greenhouse gas emissions is ‘increasing the likelihood of severe, pervasive and irreversible impacts for people and ecosystems’. On the upside the IPCC offers governments the view that ‘a combination of adaptation and substantial, sustained reductions in greenhouse gas emissions can limit climate change risks.’ Yet this is a considered consensus mediated by the UN and some scientists regard the IPCC as very conservative in its forecasts, which underestimate the impact of global warming. Last year in the journal Global Environmental Change, one scientific group suggested the IPCC tended to ‘err on the side of least drama’. Climate drama is what our governments and we as individuals are likely to get, however. Our species seems to be reluctant to face up to potential risk until we are chin-deep in disaster, and the psychology of climate change denial is a growing field for experts, as is the need to communicate the news in a way which promotes the least resistance. According to Stanford University psychologist Jon Krosnick, people stop paying attention to climate change when they realise there’s no easy solution – http://climatepublicopinion.stanford.edu. It looks like the climate might have to deliver the news in person. Michael McDonald

more autonomy on policy and make them pay more of their own way. But to do so would defy almost every aspect of Australian history. Since Federation, the tendency is to give more power to the Commonwealth at the expense of the states. That, of course, was the whole idea: the post-colonial parliaments held on to everything they could, but successive national governments, armed by decisions of the High Court, have whittled away their functions to make them increasingly dependent.

the 1950s overnight passengers to Sydney and Melbourne had to change trains at Albury because the lines had different gauges. Something had to be done, so governments did it, conservatives as well as Labor. From the days of Edmund Barton and Alfred Deakin until the days of John Howard (the author of the great centralist policy of WorkChoices) the national government moved to untangle the mess. The trend admitted few exceptions. Gough Whitlam, of course, was quite explicit

The real problem is that Abbott’s foreshadowed solution goes back to the 1950s. by Mungo MacCallum And it was not just a naked power grab, nor was it purely the power of the purse; much of it has happened simply because it works better: the central system is both more uniform and more efficient. The colonies were, after all, artificial concepts: unlike the ancient nation states of Europe, their boundaries were not settled by conflicts impelled by language, culture, religion and geography. In Australia’s case the bureaucrats of Whitehall invented them more or less arbitrarily. If they found a convenient river, that would do: hence the absurd divisions between the conurbations of Albury-Wodonga and TweedCoolangatta. More usually, they just drew straight lines on their not-always-accurate maps. Their only rationale was, in hindsight, state-of-origin football. The result was expense and inconvenience: standards of health, education and transport changed at every border. Until

about it: he wanted the states replaced by regions based on common interest. When he could not manage that, he tried to turn the idea of vertical fiscal imbalance on its head: if the Commonwealth collected 70 per cent of the money, it would take control of 70 per cent of the functions through the use of section 96 of the Constitution, using tied grants to the states instead of simply doling out the cash. And even Tony Abbott was, for a time, attracted to the idea, as his previous manifesto Battlelines attests. As Howard’s health minister, he adopted the idea of a full takeover of state hospitals – a step too radical for Howard. But in later years the fire has gone out of his belly. Taking on the states is, he tacitly admitted, just too hard. So if you can’t beat them, join them. But the states don’t want to play; they are quite happy to let Canberra cop the odium of collecting the taxes while they spend them.

And this, at last, brings us to the GST. The GST was supposed to be the states’ pot of gold; an endless growth tax provided, yet again, by the Commonwealth, and delivered for their expenditure and delectation. It was, even its boosters agreed, regressive: as a flat tax, it hurt the poor more than the rich. But who cared? There could be compensation, and anyway, Treasury loved it: trying to administer progressive tax – multilevel income tax – was a terrible chore, and the GST would be unavoidable and efficient. But of course it wasn’t and isn’t. At the insistence of the long-gone Australian Democrats, the so-called necessities of life; food, health, education and for some reason certain financial transactions were excluded, so, with lesser examples, the many exemptions gave the lawyers and accountants a picnic. And the black economy flourished: both buyers and sellers evaded the new taxes and pocketed the difference. Both the revenue and the moral authority of the Tax Office suffered. Now, of course, the preferred solution is to abolish some or all of the exemptions and/or to raise the rates: the carrot would be to offer more compensation to the poor and income tax cuts to the rich. But the politics are diabolical: hence Abbott’s cop out. What he really means by a mature debate is to make everyone share the blame. The states, the business community, the unions, the opposition – everyone has to join Team Australia. And if and only if they can come to an agreement, their glorious leader will sound the charge. Until then, he’ll be right behind them – about 50 years behind them.

t was inevitable, and entirely justifiable, that Tony Abbott’s plea for a mature debate about tax reform would be treated with derision. After all, about five years of three-word slogans, scaremongering hyperbole, broken promises and constant abuse hardly make our prime minister the finest exemplar of rational discourse. And his attempt at a Damascene conversion is at best selective; only last week his manoeuvring on the petrol excise was branded by the motorist organisations as sneaky and gutless, and his deal with Clive Palmer on direct action dismissed as at best a temporary figleaf and more likely, as Palmer earlier claimed, a complete waste of taxpayers’ money. Worse still, throughout the week he continued to rant on about Labor’s debt and deficit disaster, sturdily ignoring international comparisons. At least he has shelved the budget emergency, which is just as well as it appears that both debt and deficit have significantly increased on his own watch. So, not a lot of mature debate. But the case for tax reform is, and has been for years, undeniable. The real problem is that Abbott’s foreshadowed solution is to, yet again, go back to the future – to go beyond maturity and into his second childhood, the world of the 1950s when the Liberal Party was still clinging on to its shibboleth of states’ rights. Abbott prefers to call it the need for each level of government to be sovereign in its own sphere – an end to the problems of vertical fiscal imbalance, the system by which the Commonwealth raises the vast majority of the revenue but the states spend it. Abbott, it appears, wants to unscramble the omelet – to give the states

The true cost of rocking Belongil At Council’s meeting last Thursday, five of nine councillors were rock solid on their pet project to put rocks on the beach at Belongil. The last administrative step is now complete: funding for the wall on what is left of Manfred Street. The stub of ‘street’ itself is a monument to the futility of holding back the sea. There was a whole street block out there in the now surf zone. Sadly I have just spent two years asking the Shire to tighten its belt and to put up with potholes, etc while we get the Shire’s finances in order. I thank the Shire for coming with us on that. However, I’m sad to report that, after you scrimped and saved on almost everything, the little pots of money that Council was able to put aside in reserves for such tasks are to be raided for rocks on our

beach. And you haven’t been asked whether you want it. On Thursday I asked the five rock councillors to wait and to ask your permission for the rock project, by using due process in a Coastal Zone Management Plan. They won’t. Instead, funding will come (in descending value) from the Shire’s: 1) infrastructure renewal reserve, set up to make us dollar-ready as well as shovel-ready to ask for government grants anywhere in the Shire; 2) coastal rectification works, for the whole Shire’s coast; 3) infrastructure services carryover reserve, a buffer against our next round of natural disasters (eg landslips); 4) beach protection works, for the whole coast; and 5) employee leave entitlements reserve, for staff needs! Your funding as above will be supplemented by foundly offended by the patronising manner regarding Ben’s concerns, dismissed on the grounds of his age. How old do we need to be before this thinking kicks in? Old enough to visit your grandparent in local aged care

contributions from ‘benefiting neighbours’ of the walls. Their amounts are still being negotiated, hence the amounts you are paying are ‘confidential’ until the deals with the neighbours are done. Cr Duncan Dey Main Arm Q Ideology

and entrenched single-mindedness won the day when the conservative ‘bloc’ voted to ignore the advice and dollars from the state government’s Office of Environment and Heritage, and direct over one million dollars of our money, including some $400,000 from Council’s infrastructure bank balance, towards the immediate erection of a so-called interim 100m rock wall at Belongil Beach. This particular rock wall, according to all advice from the Office of Environment as Ben does? Old enough for your mother-in-law to have worked in the sector as mine has? Old enough to watch a loved one pass away in aged care as I have? On top of the misplaced judgment of both character

and Heritage, as well as independent engineers, was deemed to be wrongly located and larger than necessary. Hence Council’s current funding application was rejected at the state level. Accordingly, similar amounts of money will have to be spent within the next few years to knock down this inexplicable imperative and relocate it in line with the country’s expert coastal protection plan. As desperate as Byron Shire is for all available funds to be applied to failing regional infrastructure, it seems we must wait for a more responsible and equitable prioritising of government spending to be administered in this electorate. Roll on 2016 Council elections. Ratepayers beware. Jan Hackett Sunrise Beach

Seniors, discontent and Bay reality Q I have tried to understand the reasoning behind those in the Ewingsdale community who do not want anything to change but I am lost as to why a village planned to house our senior citizens is threatening to their present lifestyle. Many in this shire have ageing parents who they have had to house at the Tweed or Ballina because of the dire shortage of suitable accommodation for them. Many of those protesting must also have ageing parents. Surely you would like to have them close to you and in a safe place where they can be independent – or not – according to their changing health needs. How can this proposed seniors village be deemed to be destroying the gateway to our town when the first thing you see is the massive holding tanks for the cement works, a huge electricity depot, a cheese factory tourist farm, ambulance station and soon a major regional hospital, all bordered by the Pacific Highway? I think it would be drawing a long bow to say this proposal will destroy the gateway to our town. As for adding to the traffic chaos: are you seriously saying that a couple of hundred senior citizens, most of whom will be using public transport, probably their own shuttle buses, can possibly be blamed for adding to the traffic already generated by 1.5M tourists that create some 28,000 traffic movements a week? I am not sure if Ewingsdale residents realise how much traffic noise from this road will be reduced by adding building structures and buffer zones between them. The value of your homes will increase; less traffic noise and quiet neighbours. Even though I voted on Thursday for an extension of time to allow further consultation, I am yet to be convinced that this is not a superb site for our seniors.

continued from page 11

In regards to the development itself, we appreciate the need for aged care. Medical facilities are vital to any area, and we are aware Byron Bay is in need of more beds in the aged care sector. However, that is not the issue of concern. The concern itself stems from the lack of public consultation, the massive lack of information on what is a huge project, and the extreme speed at which it has moved through council proceedings. 12 November 4, 2014 The Byron Shire Echo

This village will provide an affordable/achievable, indeed desirable place for them to live. I hope the community will now come together to work in harmony combining our independent skills to get the best outcome for all. Cr Rose Wanchap Byron Bay Q While

I am of the opinion that morals – if not politics – dictate that Cr Rose Wanchap should resign, I cannot condone subjecting Cr Wanchap and/or other councillors, Council staff and those in the public gallery to the disgusting breach of Council Chamber etiquette that occurred during the Council meeting of October 30. If you feel disenchanted or betrayed by Cr Wanchap’s failure to represent the political ideals of those who voted for her, you may express your discontent by writing a polite letter to Cr Wanchap with a request that she resign and/or to the NSW Electoral Commission, informing the commission that you are of the opinion that Cr Rose Wanchap obtained your vote via deceptive means, thus the outcome of the 2012 elections is invalid. Under no circumstances is it appropriate for anyone to verbally abuse a councillor within Council Chambers. At the risk of being labelled sexist, such behaviour is all the more offensive when those doing the bullying are males and their victim is female. Morgan (Ms) Byron Bay Q On

Thursday October 30 I was pushed out of the Byron Shire Council chambers during Council’s lunchbreak by a security officer. I spoke out loudly denouncing Rose Wanchap’s voting pattern on Council. I called on her to resign and have a by-election since she now acts on opinions contra-

We all love this town, we care deeply about its progression and like all Shire residents we expect our elected representatives to include us in the conversation when it comes to such large developments, let alone ones that are quite literally happening in our backyard. Winston McCall Byron Bay

Transport options

We can ask for a train to be reinstated on the old corridor, but when you look at

ry to the platform on which she was elected. Thousands of Byron voters elected her only because she was on the Greens ticket. Because of her reversal she now holds the balance of power. Simon Richardson may have been elected mayor, but in fact Rose’s vote determines Council’s outcomes. Her total personal vote was 31 votes. She has turned our caring environmental community into a developers’ gold mine. I am not prepared to sit silently while Rose destroys 14 consecutive years of hardwon community achievements. I have worked diligently on some of these. Today politicians from Tony Abbott to Rose Wanchap think they can get away with anything by just a putting out a media release or a newspaper advert. Because people won’t speak up. Byron’s new plague of developers are laughing all the way to the bank. Jim Beatson Byron Bay Cr Wanchap is correct. There are too many tourists coming to Byron. Time for Council to close down illegal holiday lets, charge a bed tax, establish park-and-ride outside town, charge parking in town, discourage broke hippies who camp wherever, leave rubbish and contribute precious little money to a few, and stop the promotion of so many festivals. The greenwash ‘Green Party’ posturing is ineffective. Byron has slid into this mess on the back of the hippie escape-fromreality mentality and now it comes back to bite. Cr Wanchap is incorrect. West Byron will not ever be affordable, because Byron real estate will only go in one direction, up! Tourism must die! Edward Kent Suffolk Park Q

Comment/Letters

Single-species growth is not natural abundance playground, not the generous and terrifying source of sustenance for body and spirit. Now, the cash economy is fixated on coastal real estate, as ‘wealth’ and tourism generators. The con is to level all places to serve only as building sites. The latest targets are the most degraded and floodprone places (West Byron, Belongil Estuary and adjacent coast north and south), fertile places (Ewingsdale) and wild places (Belongil Estuary, Taylors Lake and its sources in Suffolk Park and the quarry).

he growth plan for Byron Bay? To be economically viable, I am told that we need to expand from village to town. The NSW government definition of ‘town’ has a population over 20,000. To my mind, 20,000 koalas is ambitious. Does this goal include more oystercatchers, curlews, wonga-wonga pigeons, goannas, dingoes and dusky flatheads? Given the historical abundances of pipi and other shellfish, 20,000 would be an under-target but nevertheless it’s a start.

No future

Seafood haven Ask your grandparents about their parents’ lives. The late 1800s and early 1900s? Vintage dates for another coastal Byron lifestyle. Catches of local fish were shared among neighbours. Families on the economic fringe relied on fishing. Byron and Mullum oyster saloons warred with each other to present Brunswick shellfish, considered the finest in the country. In the high season, thousands of holiday makers expected to eat seafood daily. Many looked forward to making an outstanding catch that was reported in the newspaper.

Festivals impact

People love this area because of the alternative culture and the environment. This place does not look like the Gold Coast because of the sustained long-term efforts of those following the alternative culture ethos. The battle to protect this place (and elsewhere) is fraught with the same old obstacles parroted in the recent letter-writing campaign by the workers from Splendour and Falls festivals. These people think that they must lend their artistic or other skills to these festivals to make a buck regardless of environmental concerns. This attitude is the ethos of the mass culture, which, on a larger scale, undermines the planet’s existence (eg the proCSG mentality). Before you offer to contribute to the impacts of the festivals on the site’s wildlife

The history of these people and the species they knew holds part of the answer. Outside of the cash economy, their day-to-day lives depended on what is now called ‘place-based food’. The edible and medicinal wild biodiversity. These species and their needs, as well as knowledge about their lifecycles and habitats, were not economic

priorities. The coastal wetlands themselves, with their peats, sedges, mangroves and seagrass supporting all these birds, reptiles, mammals, insects, fishes, sharks, dolphins, dugongs – most were drained. The forests cut. The first industrialisation of the landscape was export agriculture: tallow, maize, sugar, dairy, slaughterhouses. The seascape was valued according to the prices set at the Sydney Fish Market. Now, Byron coastal living relies on little, if any, placebased foods. There is some agriculture for local sales, but not as much as there is need. The ocean is only a

land under Labor’s rotten Part 3A planning laws. Before getting elected in 2011, Liberal-National state government promised to scrap Labor’s notorious Part 3A laws and return planning powers to the community. This week, Labor candidates have been in the media calling on the coalition to relinquish planning powers back to local communi-

ties. Clearly the hypocrisy of the Labor party knows no bounds and they must think the Byron community has collective amnesia, given they approved the West Byron monstrosity in the first place. So the message is that neither Labor nor the National/ Liberal Party can be trusted. Once in government, both parties return to working for continued on page 14

With eyes only on one type of economic progress, seeing only dollars, the value of many coastal lives was at the lowest ebb. Not only animal and plant lives, but human ones, too. Actions against peoples such as the Aboriginals, Chinese, Pacific Islanders and Southern Europeans played out in the region. Difcorridor and the 50 threatened species ask the festival developers this: ‘Why are these festivals held in a biological hotspot when there are plenty of non-environmentally sensitive sites that could be used and rehabilitated?’ For those still not aware of the environmental and Aboriginal heritage values of the Yelgun festival/wildlife site, please visit our Facebook page (CONOS Inc). Splendour and Falls festivals can and should be held elsewhere and the jobs will still exist and the so-called economic flow-on effects will continue.

Place-based

This type of cash economy imagines no future for them as abundant with wildlife and fertile with foodstuffs. It doesn’t see its own limitations: there is only a threeday supply of food at the supermarkets. It doesn’t safeguard against its difficulties or decay: which alternative systems is it supporting? Without growth plans for wildlife, places of Byron Bay will host the usual ecological collapses. We need not only the likes of koala management plans but expansion targets across the species.

We need transformative development. This values West Byron first as an opportunity for extensive revitalised coastal ecology based on a newly productive wetland and floodplain. It grows our own economy of healthy foods, cultivated and wild throughout the Shire. It offers more options in the unknown future by working with Aboriginal Australians, residents and scientists in renewed forms of ‘caring for country’. Global financier Brad Orgill writes that ‘in a world obsessed with economic activity and monetisation, [Byron Bay] is rare… [one of] fewer and fewer such places in the world… where we can walk in forests and swim in clean oceans. It is a massive credit to the Byron Bay community and Council…’ Once again, Byron Bay community and Byron Shire Council, here’s our chance. Let’s reject single species humans-only growth targets as the base for our local economy. Let’s invest in our point of difference: coastal livings, not only housing. Let’s transform and go rewilding.

Labor tries it on

In 2009, the NSW Labor government stripped Byron Shire Council of planning control over the West Byron

Letters continued from page 13 the corporate developers by overriding local communities and bypassing local planning laws. If the West Byron development goes ahead, it will be because both Labor and the coalition cannot relieve themselves of their dependancy on lobbyist slush funds and have no real ability to act in the interest of their constituents. Good on Greens MP Jan Barham for referring the West Byron mega-development to ICAC. Hopefully it will shed some light on the approval processes behind this mega-development that threatens to undermine the character of Byron Bay. Kris Budden Suffolk Park

Diverse politics

Regular readers of my letters will know that I often suggest council minutes as the best way to separate actions from political speech-making and commentary. So congratulations to Peter Gough and Michael McDonald for their sound commentary and analysis of recent voting patterns (Echo, October 28). However, as I am not a member of the ‘Greens’ and to make the conclusions

North Coast news daily: more meaningful, it might be better to define ‘blocs’ according to values rather than inaccurate party affiliations. The common values I stand by and share with some other councillors are those of sustainable change and building community capacity and resilience. My voting record is strong on a range of issues reflecting these values and it is important that residents know that my actions reflect my words on the things that matter most. Nevertheless, our community is diverse and this is reflected in the makeup of Council that goes beyond two blocs. Acknowledging this is a better reflection of our community and helps all voices to be represented. Cr Basil Cameron Goonengerry I recently caught up with two former Byron Shire councillors separately at the Big Scrub Landcare Field Day. One clearly identified themself as conservative, the other clearly as progressive. The conservative lamented the balance of power on the current council was 5–4 ‘to the left’ and the progressive lamented the balance of power was 5–4 ‘to the right’. I

found those fascinating perspectives when combined. Dr Patrick Morrisey former councillor Queenscliff NSW

Thanks to the firies

I would like to thank members of the Rural Fire Service who attended an overturned truck at the front of our property on Friday October 31. They spent almost three hours in temperatures in the mid 30s, fully clad in fireprotection clothing, in case the overturned vehicle caught fire – not an easy task given the hot, dry conditions. My understanding is that these people are volunteers. I am grateful that we have such a dedicated group in our area. We will be making a donation towards their training and equipment. I urge others to do the same. Dale Fallon Mullumbimby Creek

Problem solved

So, the bypass issues is still going on – Butler Street, railway tracks, etc. Why don’t we accept the two most obvious options: for those who really want to bypass Byron Bay, stay on the Pacific Highway. For those who like to get to the southern part of Byron, take the St Helena Road. It’s

already there, just needs a coat of tar and a few designerpotholes for the Byron effect. Many of the SatNav devices use this route already. Harald Ehrlich Suffolk Park

Women oppressed

L Andrews, you and I are largely on the same page (Letters, October 21). Underdressed, overdressed, hidden under a burqa, sexualised, self-abused through starving or surgery – it all happens to women and girls and it is all about the objectification and control of women. It’s all part of the same oppression. Women and men need to share equitably their world. Together we all help hold up the sky. And we can’t do that if we are little princesses or if we are wearing a burqa. Jane Anderson Byron Bay

Palestine exists

M Mizzi refers to Palestine as a ‘fictional place’, claiming that ‘Palestine was a Roman abstract, a name for a province administered by Rome from Rome until it became part of the Ottoman empire’ (Letters, October 21). Mizzi’s use of the term ‘abstract’ is a foolish attempt to support his nonsensical

claim that Palestine is a fiction. The lands that Rome conquered became provinces and Palestine was as much a province as Britain, Malta, Crete and Egypt, for example. In 1919 the Paris Peace Conference recognised territories under the mandate system as ‘provisionally independent nations subject to the rendering of administrative advice and assistance by a Mandatory until such time as they are able to stand by themselves’. Class A mandates comprised peoples deemed to have reached an advanced stage of development and capable of governing themselves (like Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Transjordan and Palestine) and, under Article 22 of the Covenant of the League of Nations, sovereignty lay in the inhabitants of those territories. Palestine had its own currency, fixed boundaries (unlike the State of Israel), national anthem and institutions. In fact, Mizzi can purchase Palestinian pounds on eBay but why would he spend money on abstract, fictional currency which would spoil his blissful ignorance? Mizzi’s viewpoint is typi-

netdaily.net.au cally Zionist as, for him, Palestine is ‘a land without a people for a people without a land’ but, embarrassingly, the Palestinians resist colonisation despite Israel’s genocide. Viva Palestina! Gareth W R Smith Palestine Liberation Centre Byron Bay

Protect koalas

I would like to ask the gang of five Byron Shire councillors who voted not to adopt the koala plan of management (KPOM) why they didn’t. I would also like to encourage all shire residents to do the same, eg ring or email. Byron Shire is dragging its bum on this issue. If Lismore, Ballina and Tweed shires can proceed with their KPOM, why can’t Byron Shire adopt ours? Maybe it’s got something to do with developers encouraging the gang of five not to vote for the KPOM? Got to keep those bulldozers clearing koala habitats and keep the dollar flowing. The mentality is housing estates are more important than stopping koalas becoming extinct. Developers providing affordable housing is only a myth. Paul Brecht Mullumbimby

Sport Australians urged to stand With sitting having been dubbed the ‘new smoking’ by many health-industry professionals, a range of Australia’s leading entertainers, chefs and elite athletes have joined forces with Exercise & Sports Science Australia (ESSA) for the month of November to spur Australians into getting active. More than 20 high-profile celebrities have jumped behind the cause, revealing their top reasons for exercising as part of the ‘30 days, 30 reasons to exercise’ campaign. ESSA executive officer Anita Hobson-Powell said it wasn’t just the fitness benefits – or, in the case of elite athletes, the lure of medals and representing Australia – that drove the celebrities to hit the pool, gym or great outdoors. ‘All Australians can start reaping these same rewards if they simply make the effort to get active.’ Ms Hobson-Powell said now was the time for Australians to start taking their future into their own hands, with a study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine revealing some of the least active among us – those who spend an average of six hours per day in front of the TV – are likely to live an average of almost five years less than their more active counterparts. ‘The statistics are truly alarming. According to the research, every hour of TV viewed after the age of 25 has the potential to reduce the viewer’s life expectancy by more than 20 minutes,’ Ms Hobson-Powell said. ‘I hope the encouragement of these highly revered celebrities will help to inspire people of all ages to get active. ‘The reality is that physical inactivity is the fourth leading cause of death owing to non-communicable disease worldwide, contributing to more than three million preventable deaths each year. ‘If we’re to have any hope of creating a healthy Australia and maintaining it for generations to come, we need to take action now.’ As part of the ‘30 days, 30 reasons to exercise’ campaign, ESSA is inviting Australians to tell them what motivates them to exercise. Participants will have the chance to win an iPad mini. To enter, visit www. facebook.com/myessa.org.au during November. For further information, visitwww.exerciseright.com.au/30for30.

Coolangatta is gold for Bruns Masters Eve Jeffery

Founded on the whim of a movie script writer, the iconic Coolangatta Gold celebrated its 30th birthday over the weekend in an action-packed event. Athletes converged from across the country in a battle to conquer the ultimate endurance challenge. The event, harking back to the glory days of Grant Kenny and Guy Leach, has matured into a great carnival, with mature being the operative word for many of the competitors. First-timers the Bruns Hookers entered a masters teams into the short-course event on Saturday. Competing together in the Coolangatta Gold Short Course 35+ Masters, the team of Phil Parker, who competed the first leg ski paddle 14.6km from Coolangatta to Miami, then David Kyle-Robinson, who swam 2.5km to Burleigh, Paul Davis who paddled the board 6km

Grant Carey, Paul Davis, David Kyle-Robinson and Phil Parker were very happy winners of the Coolangatta Gold.

to Currumbin where Grant Carey took over running the 7.1km back to Coolangatta,

completed the course in less than four hours. The blokes didn’t know

*they had won the event until well after the race was over. ‘It was a surprise as our runner

crossed the line to find out we were in front as there were so many competitors on the course in different categories,’ said a very excited Paul Davis after the race. ‘This is the first of the medals for Brunswick masters as we are making a comeback into the competition arena. We are recruiting a whole heap of new members so get training and join us down at the beach.’ The lads had the support of the whole club on the day and a committed support team that worked as handlers during the event, which was essential on the day as the conditions were tough. The team will definitely be back to defend their title next year and a second masters team from the Brunswick SLSC is also being put together for some friendly inter-club competition.

Byron Bay Summer Youth League comes into its own Story & photo Dogwhistle

The young up-and-comers of the SAE-Qantm Byron Bay Summer Youth League squad came into their own in round three of this year’s

youth competition. Coach John Bradbury has given the debutants a great run in key positions this year and the youngsters have risen to the challenge. With support from veter-

ans Byron Milne, Tane Meek, George Martin and Nathan Burvill, the younger boys really made their mark on Friday’s clash with the Woodburn side. Adam Budd opened the

scoring, tapping in a sharp cut-back from Byron Milne, while Ronan Karup hustled the ball into the net in a goal-mouth skirmish then followed up with a drive from the 18-yard box to take Byron’s goal tally to three. Woodburn managed one goal in reply, but the young Rams were clearly a cut above the visitors.

The 3–1 win takes Byron to third position on the ladder, with some tough matches to come. This week’s round sees Byron take on Bangalow, in Bangalow, with a 6.30pm kick-off. The Byron derby always produces entertaining football so be there to support our young chargers.

Bailey at World Junior Champs

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

Local junior surfer Soli Bailey of Suffolk Park placed equal fifth at the Allianz ASP World Junior Championships last Wednesday October 29. Bailey was defeated by local hero Tomas Fernandes (PRT) in the quarterfinals.

by Ian Rogers Play at Byron Services Club, Mon 7pm A fortnight ago, Baadur Jobava was busy beating veteran Jan Timman in an exhibition match in the Netherlands when he received unexpected news. The world body FIDE had been forced to move February’s Grand Prix tournament from Iran to Georgia, meaning that Iranian GM Ghaem Maghami was to be thrown out of the GP series and a Georgian player was to be added – Jobava. Jobava is the most entertaining player currently at the top of world chess – ‘the new Tal’ – and his similarity to the devil-maycare World Champion Mikhail Tal who died at 55, extends from chessboard to lifestyle. Jobava is a chain smoker – a far more inconvenient habit than in Tal’s day due to the need to move constantly between the playing hall and the smoking area. Jobava, 30, who like Tal looks years older than his age, has also become renowned for his drinking prowess – this year conducting an all-nighter before a key game in Wijk aan Zee. (The effect on his

drinking partner, commentator Lawrence Trent, was far more obvious the next day.) In Tashkent, Jobava stayed up late one night between rounds to compete in a US online tournament – which he won – and seemed to show few ill-effects the next day. Most remarkably, Jobava has spent most of the Tashkent GP tournament near the top of the leader-board (and has broken into the world’s top 20), despite sacrificing pawns and pieces in almost every game.

Battery World offers the only national opportunity for the mums, dads and kids of Australia to recycle, or responsibly dispose of, dead batteries,* of any kind. (*Offer is for disposal of domestic-usage batteries.) More than 8,000 tonnes of batteries go into landfill each year. Batteries are one of the most dangerous common wastes discarded by Australian households. Many are made from heavy metals and harmful elements such as nickel, cadmium, lead and mercury, which can pollute soil and water and harm wildlife and humans. Since the Battery World Community Recycling Program was initiated, more than 6,000 tonnes of lead-acid and other types of batteries have already entered the recycling process. That’s enough to fill the Sydney Cricket Ground 10 times over! Plus more than 36,000 analog EPIRBs have been collected for recycling since the digital changeover legislation. 19 Three Chain Rd, South Lismore. Ph: 02 6621 6404 E: lismore@batteryworld.com.au

Cool Planet Waste Assessments Cool Planet has completed more than 365 waste assessments for small businesses throughout Byron, Ballina and Lismore shires. This is another fantastic response from the local community who have a strong track record of embracing environmental initiatives. These assessments have identified $100,000s of potential savings for local businesses and the ability to divert more than 250 tonnes of waste from landfill annually. As part of the Bin Trim program, Cool Planet will be conducting second visits to all businesses to determine what savings have taken place, further assist businesses if necessary, and to distribute certificates for program participation. Once again, we would like to thank all the businesses that have been involved and have helped make the program such a success. 1300 687 888. WEB coolplanet.com.au

Health & healing Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget your brain when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thinking about fitnessâ&#x20AC;Ś â&#x20AC;&#x153;Attentional Intelligence is an intelligence which when highly developed allows you to effortlessly but â&#x20AC;&#x153;mindfullyâ&#x20AC;? notice where your attention is at any moment and to intentionally choose where you want it to be.â&#x20AC;? Linda Ray (2012) Idea #1: The brain can change One of the revolutionary insights to come out of neuroscience research over the last decade is that of neuroplasticity.

Therefore, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for each of us to be aware of our own attentional profile. Are you easily distracted? Do your moods take over? Do you find yourself on automatic pilot? Harvard professor Ellen J Langer refers to this as when â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the lights are on but no one is homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Up until recently, the brain was regarded as a physiologically static organ and that our brain structure was mostly immutable after the huge developments of early childhood. However, we now know that the brain has the ability to reorganise itself by forming new neural connections, something that continues throughout life.

Developing attentional intelligence can help you tame both types of distractions. The practice of noticing where your attention is and bringing it back to where you want it to be will over time re-wire your brain. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to notice distractions for what they are â&#x20AC;&#x201C; your brain looking for novelty and reward. When you understand this it can assist you to resist the constant temptation of the smorgasbord of distractions vying for your attention. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be better able to focus on the task at hand and at the end of the day you might have some left-over energy to do some of the fun stuff.

Not only does neuroplasticity allow the neurons in the brain to compensate for injury and disease, but it can adjust in response to new situations, different stimuli, and changes in the environment. While this seems like a small discovery, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hugely powerful, because it means that we are not captive to either nature or nurture in the way we once thought we were.Â While both nature and nurture play important roles in shaping our brains and in forming our memories, behaviours, responses, and habits, they are not â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;destinyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. We have much more control than we used to believe. In effect, we can re-wire our brains.

Idea #2: Where your attention goes, energy flows Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve thought a lot about what neuroplasticity means â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not just to the stroke or accident victim â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but to all of us in our everyday lives and for us as leaders. Simply becoming more aware of our responses and paying attention to the ways we want to alter them can give us the results weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re after. After all, where your attention goes, energy flows. And what flows through your attention sculpts your brain. I came up with the term attentional intelligence to describe the practice of using the power of attention to change the brain in subtle ways. Attentional intelligence is defined as â&#x20AC;&#x153;an intelligence that when highly developed allows you to effortlessly but â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;mindfullyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; notice where your attention is at any moment and to intentionally choose where you want it to be.â&#x20AC;? It is important to be curious about our attention if we intend to improve our â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;attentional intelligenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and the best news is it is not hard to do.

Every time you get distracted by an email or the ping of a text message, it can take up to 23 minutes to regain focus (particularly if you were on the verge of an insight or in a really heavy thinking task). Imagine what effect this has on productivity. Not only are we bombarded by these kinds of environmental interruptions, but our internal states also vie for our attention at any given moment.

What is hard is to make it a habit. Begin more intentionally noticing what is happening for you at what we refer to as the meta-sensing-level. Ask yourself what is happening in your body in the moment. Are you feeling calm or are you feeling a level or panic? Next ask where is your attention focused that may be making you feel this way. Is it focused on a thought or narrative that keeps replaying in your head like a broken record or, alternatively, is it exactly where it is of most benefit and where you want it to be? The key is in noticing where your attention is focused and being more intentional in where you want it to be focused. Next look at stepping out of your thinking in an impartial spectator way and notice what is in your narrative, what are you thinking and do you need to shift your thinking to support you to focus your attention in a different direction.

Idea #3:Â Â It takes 23 minutes to regain focus We live in a period of unprecedented complexity and distraction. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very easy to lose focus, to succumb to what I call â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;bright shiny objectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; syndrome. This is actually a normal response because we now know that the brain is designed to seek novelty and stimulation. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just that too much stimulation and novelty seeking can wreak havoc on focus and ruin productivity.

Other skin conditions that are also successfully addressed at the Good Skin Clinic: • Acne • Eczema • Rosacea • Dermatitis • Ichthyosis • Psoriatic Arthritis • Nail/Fungal Infections

Eczema treatment There is an increasing incidence in the number of people presenting with eczema (and dermatitis). Over the last 28 years, medical researcher Dr Tirant has identified two types of triggers that cause the condition to become active. Primary triggers (including medications, vaccinations, distress and viral infections) initiate the flare-up. Secondary triggers (including diet, chemical, hormonal and environmental sensitivities) may continue to exacerbate the condition. While utilising this valuable resource, practitioner Barry Donnelly BHSc CM ND WHM N is achieving exceptional results, for example: ‘Mick’ (a lifelong sufferer) presented at the Good Skin Clinic with eczema. On his first visit to the clinic, Mick’s skin was extremely itchy, red and inflamed. Scratch marks were present on his legs, arms and over most of his body. The condition was also causing him many sleepless nights. Mr Donnelly found a number of food-related triggers and reactions to different materials such as some found in his bedding and clothing. The initial improvements in Mick’s skin were seen within a week of starting treatment. By six weeks he was back to sleeping seven hours a night and his skin was increasingly clear. The Good Skin Clinic protocols for eczema and other skin conditions including psoriasis, pigmentation, acne, psoriatic arthritis, rosacea, ichthyosis, nail / fungal infections and pruritus (itching) are only available from the Good Skin Clinic. 1300 956 566 | barry@feelinggr8.net.au | northernrivers. goodskincare.com.au

Joan advocates that the path to wellness encompasses mindfulness and taking an holistic approach to life in general. A psychological and nutritional approach to health is not a one-size-ﬁts-all model. It has to take into consideration environmental factors, body composition, life history and an intrinsic belief that you can be healed.

Dr Joan Borysenko is a distinguished pioneer in integrative medicine and a world-renowned expert in the mind/ body connection. Her work has been foundational in the international health-care revolution that recognises the role of spiritual dimensions of life as an integral part of health and healing. Dr Borysenko earned her doctorate in Medical Sciences from the Harvard Medical School, where

Joan shares with us – “Healing begins when you take your power back. You are not a victim of illness or life. When challenges arise they are opportunities for self-discovery, positive evolution, and the discovery of a part of you that has never been wounded. When you learn to connect with that part of yourself , the innate healing mechanisms of the body are engaged.”

A NeuroCranial Healing It’s frustrating when your brain isn’t working properly. Most people don’t realise that a major cause of brain fog, headaches, anxiety, chronic pain and even migraines comes from tension in the bones of the skull and that through simple cranial rebalancing many of these problems can be eased. It is amazing how great you can feel after cranial balancing.

New from Penguin Australia UTTERLY DELICIOUS SIMPLE FOOD by Belinda Jeffery All around Australia home cooks praise food queen Belinda Jeffery for her brilliant knack of creating recipes for dishes that work and you want to cook again. You may know that this very experienced celebrity chef shares the same publishing house as Kylie Kwong, Maggie Beer, Stephanie Alexander and that the four of them plus Margaret Fulton were recently portrayed and photographed together as ‘Queens of the Kitchen’ in the 50th Anniversary Edition of Women’s Weekly. What you may not know is that Belinda is a twelve-year resident of Mullumbimby and that many of these new recipes have been inspired by her northern rivers surroundings.

Inspired by produce and flavours from around the world, Utterly Delicious Simple Food has more than 80 simple, sophisticated recipes, divided to suit the season – so you can get inspired no matter what time of year it is. On a hot summer’s day (with the weather up here lately you can call it a hot spring day) fire up the barbecue for salmon fillets with herbs and almond skordalia, or yoghurt-marinated lamb with zucchini, goat cheese and chilli salad. On cold afternoons perhaps some

guilt-free comfort food – a light zucchini and ricotta lasagne or crunchy crushed potatoes perhaps? Whip up a simple chocolate cake or tempt your guests with banana ice-cream complete with salted caramel sauce, pine nut and honey brittle, or a strawberry and lemon tart. Whatever the case, this book is a lovely read (even if you’re not cooking this week). The book is well put together and presented with photography by Rodney Weidland, a handy list of must-haves for the pantry and additional quick tips on the side.

A little Rae’s ’n’ sunshine Story and photos by Matthew Michaelis

It was my birthday and what we thought was early for a Sunday at one of the most sublime barbecue sites on planet Earth, this of course being Wategos Beach. A contingent of immediate family decided it was a good plan to gather at Rae’s for the special occasion of my birth (which I couldn’t recall even with a rebirthing expert and a world-class Above: Hervey Bay scallops with salted fish, hypnotherapist working on me). No, I’d rather forget the moment I entered cucumber, peanut relish & flying fish roe from the world and ignore the ensuing slow run past 50 and concentrate on more the degustation menu. Right: Moreton Bay bugs come with lemongrass, spice crusted important things like eating while I can. Now, I’m declaring early in this story that I’m a chardonnay socialist with sweet ginger, chilli and lime syrup. when it comes to this particular spot. Wategos to me has always epitomised the Aussie birthright, that is, to bare coleslaw and fry on a council barbecue, whatever the hell a word of warning for you. If you want to. Although this truly Australian act is a symbol that’s fast disappearing and being you do order degustation in most eateries, have everyone replaced by Snap-Chat, or one of the other virtual ‘social’ portals. Where was I? Oh, yes, it was 10am; we parked one kilometre from our destination. Parking, order it, or remember to ask sand and grass were at a premium at Wategos owing to the surfing event going on. The wind for the others’ mains to arrive was blowing a northerly straight from Hades. We were early for our lunch with family in tow sooner rather than later. The and I’d not had enough caffeine to subdue my craving … What! Not a van or drop of the drug Rae’s kitchen were very obliging by the time we realised that they were holding off for my degustation to hit its midpoint. to be seen. An obscene oversight from the organisers of this event I thought. Here’s where the privileged and the public blur into each other a bit. What I find extraordi- The balance of meals arrived and all was as it should be. My stream of plates included the likes nary about Rae’s on Wategos is its location (der!). I don’t mean its gorgeous view, even though of Hervey Bay scallops with salted fish, cucumber, peanut relish and flying-fish roe; Moreton it has a sublime footing on the beachfront, no; what I mean is that it sits edging the public Bay bugs came with lemongrass, spice crusted with sweet ginger, chilli and lime syrup. If you’re space. And ironically while we waited for Rae’s to set up for lunch, the only spot left for us to a big bloke and like groaning ensembles of food then perhaps degustation is not for you. The unfurl our rug was literally in front of the hotel on the grass. I was able to ask a kindness from delicate formations were balanced and succulent and well executed. There are seafood, game the hotel’s head, Marionne De Candia, as she passed by, and so a good latte was expedited for and rib-eye dishes waiting on the menu for choice. The wines are notably different and the list comes with an enthusiastic and knowledgeable sommelier to make easy your choices. that craving of mine. For most of us, Wategos Beach represents an opportunity to visit a superb public beach or Rae’s as you may already know isn’t an unknown to the celebrity ‘A’ list. Names bigger than Ben Hur have stayed in this famous seven-roomed boutique (Cecil B. DeMille himself probably to picnic with a backdrop to die for. Sitting in the dress circle in your Sunday best with a little would have stayed if he could before heading off to the great production in the sky). Russ, Elle, Rae’s and sunshine will equally serve to spoil with the added enticement of culinary profs and Nicole, Paris, Keith and too many others to write or complete their full names for you. Anyhow, a long lunch. Whatever your budget you’ll feel like a million dollars in this world-class location. what served this story well was the happenstance of a great Aussie actor sitting on a towel on the Q The Restaurant At Rae’s grassy verge just above us.

I’m usually on the outside looking up to Rae’s from my crêpes (good Aussie brekkie) on the barbecue beachfront, today was my treat and a treat it was. Degustation was the event for me and a parade of dishes came forth in a steady stream with the full attention of kitchen and wait staff. I’d forgotten the problem with ordering this style of meal in a mix with mains – á la carte. The kitchen tend to serve forward with the many smaller entrees, while the folk who ordered the mains wait for theirs for some time. This is

Gitta Radau is one of the many talented locals who over the years have called the northern rivers home. There’s something in the human psyche that genuinely responds to fine craft and objects of skill. Gitta, while looking for a new expression to vent her creative aspirations, ended up in Thailand. It was a number of random events that led her to a small village in the north of Thailand and a number of weeks of oneon-one tutoring from a Thai master carver. Initially, she studied the culinary art of fruit and vegetable carving, traditionally known in Thailand as the ancient art of Kae Sa Luk or Intaglio. Back home in the Byron Shire, Gitta is carving a niche for herself in carved fruit and vegetables and is enjoying some popularity with requests to create handcrafted and inspired centrepieces for special events, weddings, corporate functions and restaurants. Recently, she transferred

The survey was conducted among 9,850 Australians in September this year and, 42 per cent stated they would want to go on a holiday with the Wolverine star and his wife. I’m guessing going on holiday with any of these couples would mean having a zoom lens in your privates along with candid photos ending up in The Echo (or some other celebrity rag) – and unless you’re famous, few people want their private bits snapped. So, the point of all this life-saving intel is that the company who did the survey also can fix a sexy holiday that’s similar to, but not exactly the same or doesn’t have the company of the aforementioned star couples.

WE’RE GIVING AWAY MULLUM MUSIC FEST TIX – SEE PAGE 33

Captain Kirk at the Beach

Hooroo! It’s the Yacht Club DJs!

Soul talent Shaun Kirk has come a long way since his debut Yacht Club DJs bring their eclectic taste in friends and mashup release in 2010. It’s been said he has one of the finest blues voices tapes to the stage at the Hotel Great Northern this week. Whats the mission for Yacht Club DJs? in the country. This explosive solo act is definitely someone Well we don’t really have one now. It’s mission well worth catching when he comes to Byron next week. accomplished because we have decided to put the project out to pasture. All that’s left is to come say hooroo to everyone and sink half the tins in Australia to celebrate.

What are the records you most love listening to? Anything from old blues cats like Muddy Waters and Howlin Wolf, to hip-hop records, to soul and rock. Some of my favourites are Bruce Springsteen’s Born to Run and Nebraska; Bob Dylan’s Slow Train Coming; Gary Clark Jr’s Black & Blue; Jurassic 5’s Power in Numbers; Jeff Buckley’s Grace; Stevie Wonder’s Songs in the Key of Life. The list is neverending really. I currently have JJ Cale’s Troubadour spinning behind me as I write this!

Can you pick a mate by his mix tape? What does a mix tape say about a person? Definitely. You can even pick out the difference between Guy and myself within our mix tapes. Especially the last one. If you’re any good at it and have something to express you should be able to get it out in a mix; that’s what makes good DJs, look up the Avalanches’ Some People mix for a sample, quintessential mix; it’s an absolute bloody clinic.

How do songs turn up for you? What’s your ‘process’ for getting them down? It’s always different for each song. Sometimes it’s an idea sparked by something I’ve seen or heard; sometimes a chorus or melody will pop into my head as I’m driving; sometimes a riff or chords progression will appear as I’m casually messing around with my guitar on my bed or backstage before a show. There’s really no ‘one’ process for me. You’ve penned five records in five years. How has your approach to recording changed on each one? Well the first record Cruisin’ was super raw. I think we recorded the entire album with one or two guitars, a stomp box, harmonica and a few drums here or there. Then came Thank You for Giving Me the Blues, which was still a relatively small production recorded in a friend’s bedroom, but I began to experiment with some beats and different guitar sounds. The Wick Sessions was all done in a single day completely live once I had build up the one-man-band (vocals, guitar, harmonica and drums at my feet) idea enough to be comfortable to throw something down live. Tell me about the first song you ever wrote. I’d rather not – haha! It was horrible. All I’ll say is that I wrote it in a hospital bed after I had broken my ankle and was waiting for surgery when I was 17. What about the most recent one? I’m currently writing a song called Big Brother, which was sparked by a documentary I saw a while back about the government’s intentions to introduce facial recognition into security cameras all across the country and how closely they can already monitor us through our mobile phone

Could you love a woman with bad taste in music? If you’re into a girl just because of the music she likes, she mustn’t bring too much to the table. Or you’re a rubbish bloke. People’s quibs are generally something you should grow to like, right? GPS signals. Funnily enough, all I could think about while watching this doco were shows like Big Brother and the Jim Carey movie The Truman Show. Where did you record Steer the Wheel? Who produced it? What did you set out to achieve with this album? It was recorded at a wonderful studio in Melbourne called The Wick and produced by my good friend Glenn Scott and myself. Glenn has mixed a few of my albums now and I had always said I wanted to do a full-blown album with him at his studio, which is an amazing room. The goal was to step things up from my past records in both a songwriting sense and a production sense. We got Jeff Lang’s ARIA Award-winning rhythm section of Grant Cummerford on bass and Danny McKenna to come and play on the record as well as some other incredible musicians across the country. Surrounding myself with some great players with so much experience was a real learning curve for me. A highly enjoyable one. How did you feel about the results? I’m super proud of this record! It’s exceeded all my expectations and has been selling really well. It even got to #1 on the Australian Blues iTunes Charts, which was totally unexpected! Shaun will be playing at the Beach Hotel, Byron Bay, on Thursday.

Tell me how you go about sourcing tunes for your YC shows? I wasted my childhood. I grew up in a nightclub nicking drinks from the fridge and listening to techno on weekends and playing in punk bands at school during the week. That’s pretty much still the music I like; other than that I just let my mates tell me what’s good and I tell them whether I like it or not. Some where in the middle of that Yacht Club popped out. Stuffed if I know how. But it’s been sweet. What about ‘weird excessive nudity’? Will you deliver on your promise? It is Byron after all. This has been part of our press release forever. I’m not sure what constitutes weird or excessive nudity. Maybe it was just our publicist saying I look crap with my shirt off. I tend to agree, but they were probably just looking too hard. Look, there’s always a danger, probably somewhere between the first time a beer touches my lips and the point where someone is stabbing a blowup dolphin, but saying it’s planned would make me a bloody galah. How do you tailor a show to your crowd’s energy or expectation? Panic. And luck. A little bit of skill but mostly panic and luck. Fake bravado never hurts, but that’s mostly panic and luck as well. Has something ever gone horribly wrong at one of your shows? Do tell! Yeah, I knocked the sound out of phase at a

festival in Mackay when we were doing a live set. In layman’s terms we were on stage going off and thinking it was going great but all that was happening out the front was bass and nothing else. People started booing and throwing bottles and stuff. We didn’t realise till too late and it was pretty much the worst show in the history of music. But I’ll take it. How do you pick your collaborating acts? Do they have to be on the same musical wavelength? We tend to only work with friends. Makes life easy when they can just come around to your house and chill and something cool happens. Every time we have messed with this formula it’s usually ended up crap. What should we expect for the Byron Show? Who’s coming with you? This tour is basically just a big party to say hooroo and cheers to everyone who’s come and partied with us and supported us for the last decade. It’s been the best job ever and we’ve been able to get up to some ridiculous stuff. So yeah pretty much just saying cheers, having a few tins with all our legendary mates we’ve made around the country and having huge hangovers on the flights home. Think of it as a big going-away party that happens 14 times around the country. Byron is going to be massive as well with Surecut Kids coming along. They’ve been pals of ours since our first Queensland show and we couldn’t think of anyone better to come along. There might be others too if we can twist some arms. Then she’s of to Vegas, coupla days, Yiew! Friday at the Hotel Great Northern with Special Guests Surecut Kids. Tickets from www.moshtix.com.au or 1300 GET TIX (438 849).

RAY’S SUNSHINE Byron Bay-based singer/songwriter Ray Sorenson brings more than 40 years of experience as a musician to the fore with the release of the first single Blue Haze off of his forthcoming debut longplayer Silent Writer. A well-known musical force on the north coast of NSW, Ray has spent most of his life writing, and touring the region; however, he never found the right time to dedicate to releasing an album of his own material. Now in his 50s, this accomplished musician has set out to record an album that is the perfect representation of his life. The Blue Haze single is the start of a new journey for the father of two and one that looks set to welcome him into the Australian country scene with open arms. Blue Haze is actually a song that was penned early one morning in the 1980s and was picked as the first single off of his debut offering owing to popular demand at Ray’s live shows. It is one of those tracks that draws you in from the outset and has an Australian twang to it, leaving the song in your head well after it’s stopped playing. It hooks the listener in and is an apt representation of Ray’s songwriting nuance. ‘I recall writing the song. It was all in a tremendous flourish and when I stopped and looked down, the messy writing on the page resembled a doctor’s prescription pad,’ he says. ‘After analysing

what I had just written, I rearranged the words into a usable format and created some melodies to form a listenable song. The inspiration for the song came when my very close friend’s father passed away about two weeks previously. It hit my friend pretty hard. I played Blue Haze to him and told him that the intense emotions we were experiencing had opened up a channel for the song to be born. However, Blue Haze doesn’t come across as a song that has an obvious message; in some ways it can be an intriguing mystery. It allows the audience to relate to it in their own way. I know why it was written, but that is only my version of the song.’ The track was recorded with revered ARIA award-winning producer Steve James (Thin Lizzy, The Screaming Jets, Mental As Anything, The McClymonts) at Rockinghorse Recording Studios and features an impressive lineup of musicians all with different backgrounds and influences. Dean Sutherland (bass) and Warwick Scott (lead guitar) were founding members of iconic Aussie band Skunkhour; Lawrie Minson (pedal steel guitar) is a well-known name and acclaimed for his instrumentation; and Ray Scott (harmonica) is one of the best harmonica players in the country. Ray’s forthcoming album Silent Writer certainly is the culmination of years of hard work and something he is immensely proud of, and rightly so. Ray is joined by a full band at the Bangalow Bowlo on Friday at 8pm. Doors from 7pm. Tix are $20.

Is that a Martini in your pocket?

sick of hearing overproduced music. This was interestingÂ because you could hear the mistakes.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Founding member and director of Pound Records, Martin Martini, is a true believer. As a musician himself, he tests the boundaries between cabaret and dirty jazz and as a record producer he does the same. Self taught, Martini is a Renaissance man, able to weave his craft with a camera, a piano or vinyl.

The music has an underground integrity that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seek the mainstream spotlight. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how the industry works and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to get involved in the industry,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; says Martini, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I just want to create it, and it is moving and getting there. I am creating these limited-edition vinyl â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the last one I did for Archer (also appearing at Mullum Music Festival) and it cost a stupid amount of money!

TALKING ABOUT BEING RATIONAL Ever since Aristotle, we have come to believe in the value of opposing one value against another as a method of determining reality. Whether a thing is hot or cold, heavy or light, black or white, the question of polarity becomes the principal way by which we deal with the world of things. James Cowan will explore the possibility of a third way of dealing with reality through exploration of the medieval Islamic philosophers Suhrawardi, ibn Arabi, and alKarim Jili. Their concept of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;interworldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; might well be the answer to the over-dependence of rationalism in our discourse today. Byron Philo CafĂŠ will be discussing the topic: Putting the Brakes on Rationalism at the next meeting at Luscious Cafe, Byron industrial estate, on Friday. All welcome for a for meal, a drink (BYO) and a lively discussion at 5.30pm to 8pm. $5 contribution.

ENTERTAINMENT E ARIES

: November’s medicine prescribes a strong dose of self-control, especially around midweek Aries moon. The antidote to warrior vibes is being Venusian: more loving than forceful. Getting caught up in someone else’s storyboard only fast-tracks arguments, so allow complex issues take the time they take and the route they choose.

F TAURUS

November’s a deep and meaningful month of penetrating insights, of asking the hard questions and searching for the most joyful answers…

: This intense month focuses on primary relationships, with a possible showdown at late-week Taurus full moon powering through to resolution. Or if not a peace treaty, at least a ceasefire. It also reminds you to slow down and remember what all your hard work is for: Quality Of Life.

G GEMINI

: You’re a mutable, flexible, versatile sign. This week’s energetic signature is fixed, stubborn and unyielding, especially around late-week full moon. Instead of warring over some small quirk, direct your awesome energy this week to diminishing hostilities. You know the drill: if you want to be understood, be understanding.

base; it wants positive closure with the past so you can fully engage with current projects, love and fun. Recreate, or restore, a sound foundation to operate from. And since Leo’s an extrovert sign, balance this internally oriented week with plenty of play time.

J VIRGO

: Heading into November’s sealed lips and sudden stings, instincts are more reliable guides than logic. Plus reminding yourself that what you consider helpful advice, however well meant, is most appreciated when asked for. And that late-week full moon is a major play date for earth signs like yourself.

: November’s the month of moods: high and low, sweet and sour, buoyant and brooding. If this intense week reveals hidden business, concealed information or covert operations, certain uncomfortable realisations may result. But you can choose your own mood rather than have it dictated by outside causes or external events.

: November’s emphasis in your house of friends and business income suggests combining the two for pleasure and profit. While magnetism’s strong between you and others, opening to share deep feelings can activate powerful change. And there’s a bumper sticker worth considering: Smile And Forgive, It’s The Only Way To Live…

LSCORPIO

: Emotions run hot and strong through the Scorpioverse during your annual birthday rites, especially when stubborn end-of-week full moon digs its heels in. Remember the old saying about strength being holding on and wisdom letting go? Well sometimes it actually takes more strength to let go.

O AQUARIUS

M SAGITTARIUS

P PISCES

: Feel like you’ve been in some kind of longtime lockdown? November’s the final phase of finding constructive ways to deal with restrictions. Discretion’s necessary this week as finances restructure and your ability to work skilfully with others moves to new levels. And a big dream finally, slowly, starts taking shape.

N CAPRICORN

: This week arrives with cathartic dramas, erratic interactions and uncomfortable surprises, but also a love trigger to help stop perpetuating old hurts and sorrows. If trying to extract information is like pulling teeth, use your amusing charm and outrageous humour. Or else just give up and do something enjoyable. : Present planetary dynamics are powering an internal journey of selfinterrogation. Not necessarily Pisces’s strong point, but the benefits are worth considering: increased insights into your own psychology, then into other peoples’ needs, feelings and ways of behaving – new awareness which could help more easily resolve misunderstandings for all concerned.

THE BEST OF BRIT FILM

Palace Cinema’s program of international film festivals finishes 2014 with 21 fantastic films screening in the Emirates British Film Festival from Thursday 6 to Sunday 16 November. Opening night will see the Australian premiere of Testament of Youth direct from its recent world premiere at the London Film Festival. This epic coming-of-age tale of love, loss and war is based on Vera

GOD HELP THE GIRL, ONE OF THE FILMS ON SHOW FOR THE EMIRATES BRITISH FILM FES TIVAL AT THE PALACE CINEMA IN BYRON FROM THURSD AY UNTIL 16 NOVEMBER Brittain’s memoir of World War I, which eighty years on remains one of the most powerful and famous memoirs of the 20th century. The opening-night audience are invited to attend pre-film drinks from 6.30pm, and an after-film party with canapés, drinks and live entertainment from Dwayne Cameron. The festival features 13 Australian premieres, plus a specially curated retrospective section Six from the 60s, capturing an era that saw a turn of the tide in British filmmaking. Britain’s cultural revolution in the 1960s gave birth to a more mischievous, spirited cinema, full of expression, vivacity and comedy, reflected in the six films: Billy Liar and Darling, both starring the Oscar-winning Julie Christie; The Italian Job and Zulu, starring Michael Caine in two career-launching roles; and Malcolm McDowell, fresh from A Clockwork Orange, starring in the Palme d’Or-winning If. Celebrating the four Liverpool lads who exploded into worldwide fame in the 60s, the Festival proudly presents two-time Academy Award-nominated A Hard Day’s Night, which captures the true birth of British Beatlemania in one of the most innovative and refreshing music movies ever made. The program hosts more award-winning titles with the extraordinary Mr Turner, exploring the last twenty-five years of one of the most prolific painters of the 19th century, which collected two awards at this year’s Cannes Film Festival including Best Actor for Timothy Spall. God Help The Girl, a film about three young musicians starring Australian actress Emily Browning (Sucker Punch), won the 2014 Sundance Film Festival Special Jury Prize and was written and directed by Belle and Sebastian lead singer Stuart Murdoch. The Festival will close with pre-film drinks before the award-winning thriller The Imitation Game, starring Benedict Cumberbatch in one of the best performances of his career as coding pioneer Alan Turing, instrumental in cracking Nazi Germany’s Enigma code during the darkest days of World War II. The Byron Bay Palace Cinemas from Thursday 6 until Sunday 16 November.

Director of the Vatican museums, Professor Antonio Paolucci, expertly leads us through the past, present and future of the museums. From the masterpieces of classic statues to the cast of Michelangelo’s Pietà; Fontana’s modern sculptures; from paintings by Giotto, Leonardo da Vinci and Caravaggio to more modern works by Van Gogh, Chagall and Dalì; from the extraordinary frescos in the Rooms of Raphael, such as The School of Athens to the spectacular masterpieces by Michelangelo in the Sistine Chapel, including such iconic pieces as The Creation of Adam and the majestic Last Judgment. Screening at Byron Bay Palace Cinemas 12.30pm, Saturday 8, Sunday 9 and Wednesday 12 November.

RISE OF THE UNDERDOG

PRIDE

The sad truth is that Australian movies are shot on a budget that is like an oily rag compared to the petrol guzzlers of even middle of the road Hollywood productions – the big studios spend more on PR than local filmmakers can muster for cast and crew. The results are obvious at first glance – and unfortunately first glance wins the box office. The imported feature is louder and glossier and studded with stars, whereas our efforts are treated as black sheep. The great shame of it is that a really terrific movie such as this struggles (usually unsuccessfully) for a general release while the mob knock each other out of the way to see Liam Neeson or Denzel Washington or any other production-line hero killing people by various graphic means. Writer/ director Mack Lindon’s film is based on personal experience. Will (Nathan Wilson) goes from afternoon barbie to pub to chemically-ratted clubbing. The next day he is arrested by the police and accused of raping the girl whom he took home. It’s all clearly and economically shown in the opening sequence, but without revealing what exactly happened. Will is found guilty and sentenced to six years’ imprisonment and the bulk of the story deals with how, while awaiting an appeal, he copes with jail and forges a mutually rewarding and abiding friendship with Jimmy (Martin Sacks in a fabulous performance), a tattooed tough old lag. It’s an intimidating environment and Lindon pulls no punches in his depiction of the claustrophobic, dog eat dog atmospherics. Will, slightly built and with a background as a nurse, is at first an easy target, but under Jimmy’s wing he learns the ropes and discovers that his fellow inmates are not stereotypical bad guys, but individuals with posturing strengths and weaknesses and emotional yearnings. Events outside, where lawyers are working on Will’s behalf, are more in line with a TV legal drama and if Lindon allows wishful thinking to guide his hand towards a rosy denouement, then that’s okay too. Gripping and real.

What a fantastic movie – and guess what? The heroes don’t carry guns! True. When it ventures into the realm of social history and comment, cinema can easily become tendentious to the point of preachiness, but director Matthew Warchus and writer Stephen Beresford have avoided that pitfall by treating a serious issue with equal parts earnestness and ebullience, gravity and humour. The 1984 miners’ strike in Britain was a long and bitter struggle between labour and doctrine-driven Thatcherism. A cohort of activist gays and lesbians in London saw a connection between their pariah status and that of the downtrodden miners. Led by Mark Ashton (Ben Schnetzer), they mobilised to form a fund-raising support group for the families of Onllwyn in Wales. Because their overture of comradeship was not universally accepted by a community in which homosexuality was still considered a perversion, the story explores the ways in which opposites can attract and co-operate for the betterment of all. Ordinarily, the themes addressed here are dealt with in sombre colours, dour soundtracks and joyless set pieces. But this is irresistibly upbeat. The unforeseen emergence of AIDS is a grim backdrop, but there is a lot of love at play as bridges are built and unlikely allies enriched by immersion in the other’s natural environment. We are reminded that, if our common humanity is encouraged to fulfil its potential for generosity, there IS such a thing as society. A wonderful cast – Bill Nighy and Imelda Staunton abandon their usual self-parody – with the wives and mothers of Onllwyn nearly stealing the show as they are caught up in the belated bloom of feisty feminism in the blokey valleys. If you have reached the point of utter despair with our government of slime-coated, blue-tied, fork-tongued troglodytes, as they abase themselves before the overdogs of wealth and privilege while simultaneously shafting anybody who does not fit into their narrow, plutocratic, white world, then take in this movie as a tonic. It’s galvanising, heart-swelling and absolutely true in everything it says. See it, live it.

THANK YOU everyone who made the beneﬁt golf/evening dinner fundraiser for me so successful. It was a great day, I felt honoured so many people supported it. I would particularly like to thank organiser Jeremy from Sabi restaurant and everyone who donated for the auction. I will donate $250 from the proceeds to the Quest for Life Foundation which helps people heal the past, build resilience for the future and live in the present. Ian Hosken

Although it would be nice for them to be homed together, they can go separately. Jesse is ginger & white & has attractive tiger stripe markings. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lovely & friendly so all he needs is a lot of TLC to bring him out if his shell.

Is your swimming pool safe? Is your pool registered and ready to be inspected? Almost 95 per cent of pool inspections in Byron Shire result in the pools not passing the fencing requirements under the NSW swimming pool register program. Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s governance manager Ralph James said staff have conducted over 600 pool inspections. The main areas where property owners are not passing are: â&#x20AC;˘ No resuscitation sign. â&#x20AC;˘ Gates that do not self-close from any position â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from fully open to resting on the latch. â&#x20AC;˘ Vegetation and articles closer than 900mm from the outside of the pool fence. â&#x20AC;˘ Pool fences that are not the required height of 1.2m or have spacing, between the vertical bars, of more than 100mm. â&#x20AC;˘ A boundary fence which is incorporated into the pool barrier. Mr James said in some instances Council is carrying out five or more inspections before a compliance certificate is issued. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Ensuring pools comply is about safety,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Mr James said. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;A pool with a self-close gate with a fence built to the correct standard will help ensure that the young children are not put at risk and a tragedy occurs. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Making sure your backyard above-ground or inground pool complies is a very serious responsibility.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; To help cover the inspection costs a fee of $140 is applicable and an additional $100 for the

first reinspection. In some instances infringements and orders may be issued where a property owner does not address the barrier issues identified. Property owners are also required to have registered their pool online with the NSW government at www. swimmingpoolregister.nsw. gov.au. If you have not registered your pool, Council encourages you to, as failure to do so may attract a fine of $220. Council has a program in place to inspect all swimming pool barriers in the Shire. Swimming pool compliance inspections were introduced by the NSW government in response to the large number of drownings in backyard pools.Â From April 29, 2015, a property with a swimming pool will be required to have a certificate of compliance before it can be sold or leased. In related news, the Royal Life Saving Society offers information on pool safety on its website royallifesaving. com.au. The society notes that pool barriers can fail â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;when gates are left propped open, fences and gates arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t maintained and climbable objects are left against the fenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Royal Life Saving encourages parents and guardians to regularly inspect their pool by downloading and completing a home pool safety checklist available from homepoolsafety.com.au.

EXPRESSION OF INTEREST Coffee Cart Operations Byron Bay Library Building Foyer Council is calling for Expressions of Interest (EOI) from interested parties to operate a coffee cart from the foyer of the Byron Bay Library building for a trial period of 12 months. The EOI process is designed to be open to allow applicants to present their ideas on how the operation would be beneﬁcial for the vendor, Council and patrons of the library building. There are approximately 600-750 library users per day and 40-60 visitors to the Lone Goat Gallery providing applicants with a good client base when considering their application.

In accordance with Section 420 of the Local Government Act 1993, any person may make a submission in writing to Council with respect to the Audited Financial Statements or the Auditor’s Reports.

The 12 month term of the trial is to assess the viability of continuing its operation into the future. The EOI should demonstrate that the operation will be ﬁnancially beneﬁcial for the operator and for the Council.

The Financial Reports are available at community access points around the Shire or on Council’s web page www.byron.nsw.gov.au/public-exhibition.

Interested applicants should refer to Council’s website for further information and the EOI documentation at http://www.byron.nsw. gov.au/expressions-of-interest

Backlash Ungentlemanly niggling was one of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;highlightsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of the Byron Council meeting last Thurday, with mayor Simon Richardson and Cr Chris Cubis sniping at each other, resulting in an unsuccessful motion of no confidence in the chair (Richardson). In addition, resident Jim Beatson was removed from the chambers for repeatedly having a go at Cr Rose Wanchap. Not up to the standard of biffo one expects in the state assembly of Tamil Nadu (http:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legislative_violence) but lively for Byron Shire nevertheless. Q Q Q Q

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be fooled by the price either. Lighthouse Pizza use fresh produce from Baz & Shaz and have their own secret dough recipes for making ďŹ&#x201A;avoursome pizzas without the price tag. The fundraiser will run from 10 to 16 November. So come down and support CAWI and enjoy a delicious pizza for $5 (located behind the cinema and next to Woolworths).

Further to our front-page photo last week of Ben Gordon from Parkway Drive, the photographer was local Sean Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Shea. See Seanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work at www.seanoshea.com.au. Q Q Q Q

Energy giant AGL is not doing the future any favours with its attitude to the Renewable Energy Target and its fracking adventure at Gloucester, NSW, which was hardly helped along last week by its security guards manhandling protesters on a public road â&#x20AC;&#x201C; see video at http://bit.ly/AGLsec. With technology constantly improving for offgrid systems, the bloated energy boys with a

bad attitude are likely to find themselves stranded without a product to sell. Q Q Q Q

The pursuit of whistleblower Freya Newman for revealing that Tony Abbottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter Frances got a scholarship by, let us say, unusual means, has sidetracked the important issues surrounding the role of the prime minister in the matter. In New Matilda, Ben Eltham tackles the issues head-on in a lengthy and revealing article â&#x20AC;&#x201C; http:// bit.ly/francestrail.

They have performed at Womadelaide, Woodford, and the Mullum Music Festival, to name a few, and recently set up office at the Mullumbimby showgrounds, where they will be staging a series of arts events and workshops.

Lighthouse Pizza are going to be celebrating their 1st birthday by selling $5 Pizzas all week. For every pizza that is sold, $1 is donated to CAWI.

CAWI Dogs are teaming up with Lighthouse Pizza to try to raise some needed funds to help support a great organisation. CAWI have helped save 294 dogs by ďŹ nding them new homes.

There was much excitement in the scrub at Ewingsdale last week when A Current Affair caught the arrest of longtime conman Peter Foster, best known for his involvement with alleged war criminal Tony Blairâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife Cherie in what became known as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Cheriegateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. His arrest has since made it into the British tabloids where he received the kind of treatment appropriate to his stature.
