West Byron rezoning approved by state govt Hans Lovejoy
The largest-ever rezoning of Byron Bay was announced on Friday by an anonymous Sydney-based planning spokesperson. West Byron, a 108-hectare housing/industrial/retail proposal on Ewingsdale Road, will now proceed to the development application stage. NSW planning minister Pru Goward’s office did not reply to The Echo as to why her name – or any name – was not included on the press release, despite its upbeat politicised message that it ‘is a good outcome for Byron Bay’s unique natural environment.’ But it’s a blow for the hundreds, if not thousands, of locals who put their names to petitions and protested against the proposal, which had been refused by Council for ten years. At www.thepetitionsite.com, 65,305 signatures were collected, while hundreds of locals put their name to a petition at westbyron.org. Complaints ranged from a lack of public engagement, transparency, planning inconsistencies, inadequate reports and NSW planning staff bias towards approving the rezoning. Additionally Labor and the Greens were critical that the rezoning was decided by the state and not Council, despite the coalition’s pledge that planning would be ‘returned to the community’ after winning office in 2011. Previously, local MP Don Page (Nationals) defended his government’s policy – in this case the developers applied directly to the NSW government for a state significant

site rezoning, not under the repealed Part3A assessment. According to www.planning.nsw.gov.au, ‘[Part3A] has been replaced by the state significant development and infrastructure assessment systems which commenced on October 1, 2011.’
Conditions As for rezoning conditions, there’s very little that’s new. NSW planning staff say environmental protections will increase from 35 to 40 per cent for the 108hectare site, and will include Belongil Creek and wetland buffer zones. The NSW planning staff press release also claims that the planned Butler Street bypass will make a ‘significant dent in local traffic congestion’. But that appears at odds with traffic studies which suggest it would remove less than 20 per cent of through traffic and will not solve congestion in the long term. But the spokesperson preferred to quote another study; they said, ‘The traffic study prepared in support of the rezoning proposal confirmed that the bypass would significantly reduce queue lengths along Ewingsdale Road and improve traffic within the town centre.’ Other conditions include koala management and acid sulfate soils plans, along with a development control plan (DCP), which will be developed by both the state and Council. ‘Under the adopted planning controls, a development application (DA) cannot be approved before the DCP is finalised,’ said the spokesperson. And as previously announced, upon subdivision, $7,000 per lot continued on page 2

NSW Business Chamber supports CSG The NSW Business Chamber has come out in support of expanding the state’s gas industry to mitigate price rises owing to deregulation and overseas exports. CEO Stephen Cartwright claims it is likely to have a serious impact on the business community as higher costs are passed along the supply chain. He said, ‘NSW chief scientist, Mary O’Kane, recently delivered a blueprint for the safe development of the state’s abundant gas supplies, and it is now up to the NSW government to implement a robust but timely approvals process for CSG projects that ensures the viability of energy-using industries.’ Meanwhile, manager of the north-
ern rivers NSW Business Chamber, John Murray, is unsupportive of a reservation policy, which would aim to protect domestic consumers from international deregulation. Similar mechanisms are in place in the US and Canada.
Gas reservation policy unsupported He told The Echo, ‘Keeping the price of gas at artificially low rates for domestic use runs the risk of exacerbating demand in the short term and increasing the likelihood of shortages over the long term.’ ‘As identified by the Grattan Institute, there is also no clear evidence that the gas reservation policy applied
in Western Australia has delivered lower gas prices for users, with Western Australian gas prices currently higher than those on the east coast.’ But a campaign launched in September by the Australian Workers Union (AWU) is calling for a domestic gas reservation policy, claiming that tens of thousands of workers’ jobs are at risk. AWU’s Scott McDine says on their website, www.awu.net.au, ‘Australia is the only gas-exporting nation in the world without laws to ensure its domestic consumers are not damaged by the linking of gas to global markets. ‘Australians have a right to know their rapidly rising gas bills are actually completely preventable.’

West Byron rezoning approved Remembering ANZACs continued from page 1 is voluntarily earmarked towards road upgrades. The Echo understands that money will only be available after the lots are sold.
Affordable claims Another claim by the Sydney-based bureaucrats – and supported by local MP Don Page (Nationals) – is that West Byron will improve housing affordability in the region. The Echo asked the department how they would guarantee affordability, to which they replied, ‘The increased supply of housing in West Byron will put downward pressure on housing prices by helping to keep up with demand.’ ‘The rezoning will also offer a wide range of housing types
within the region, including more affordable options such as small apartments of which there is currently limited supply in the area.’ But those claims are vehemently denied by Cate Coorey from Byron Residents’ Group. She said, ‘There is no housing shortage, there is an oversupply relative to population growth. We have already approved enough housing to cover our growth needs up until 2020.’
High density And high dwelling densities appear set to change Byron’s landscape; environmentalist Dailan Pugh says that according to the lot size map, ‘It is made clear that minimum lot sizes will be 150m2 IT’S HOT!

across both R2 and R3 [residential zones].’ ‘The rezoning allows for significantly increased dwelling densities beyond what was previously proposed. ‘This is a major density increase and allows for vastly more dwellings than the 1,100 still falsely claimed by DoPE, theoretically allowing for over twice as many dwellings.’ Mr Pugh also took aim at what he says was a cover-up by the department over its Assessment Report, saying it failed to ‘acknowledge that the “some 1,800” signatories, and comments, to the Change.org petition were opposed to the development, or even mention these in the summary.’ He said the decision showed a ‘lack of professionalism, a disregard for environmental and social impacts, a pervasive bias towards developers’ wants and a blatant disregard for community concerns.’

Climate change on Mullum’s agenda While prime minister Tony Abbott left climate change off the agenda for the upcoming world leader G20 talks in Brisbane, it hasn’t stopped local activist Suzie Mylecharane from taking up the slack. ‘I took up the Australian Conservation Foundation call-out for communities to organise their own climate change discussion because Abbott left it out of the G20
talks,’ she says. Both Suzie and Noel Jeffries from Travelling Flicks are organising two nights of discussion and movies at the Mullum Drill Hall on Friday November 14 and 15. ‘Come to show support for a clear message to the government that we want more clean energy,’ says Suzie. ‘We must save our Renewable Energy Target (RET).’
Clive Neeson’s movie Last Paradise will be shown, which follows adventurers on the road less travelled during the 60s and 70s. She says Cr Paul Spooner will open the Friday night, while environmental activist and former MLC Richard Jones will open Saturday. Tickets available from the Mullumbimby Bookshop or at the venue.

Splendour fined for noise pollution Chris Dobney
Splendour in the Grass organisers have been fined by the state’s planning department for exceeding noise limitations on the Friday and Sunday nights of the 2014 event. Even the department admits the $3,000 fine is effectively a token impost given ‘speakers were positioned to avoid directing sound away from the event and shipping containers were used to absorb as much noise as possible’. But North Byron Parklands (NBP), the venue that holds the events, has hit back, with GM Mat Morris describing the current noise regulation
requirements of the Planning Assessment Commission as ‘unworkable’ and saying it is seeking to have them varied.
Unworkable conditions A spokesperson for the department said some of the problem was caused by prevailing winds, which ‘contributed to the breach, carrying noise further than it would have done otherwise’. ‘The department is working with the venue to reduce bass noise from next year’s event to minimise its impact in terms of sound and vibration on nearby residents,’ the
spokesperson said. According to NBP’s Mat Morris, the venue would happily accept stricter controls on its bass volumes if it could have more flexibility at higher ranges. Splendour did do better in other areas, however, with its traffic management plan and complaints response getting ticks from the department.
Compliance A compliance report, which is available at www.majorprojects.planning.nsw.gov. au, said the complaints system worked well, with phone staff directing noise monitors to areas of concern via text mes-
sages throughout the festival. The department said it received 36 submissions raising concerns about the event from the community and considered all of them in putting together the report. ‘While the event’s complaint handling processes met approval conditions, there were capacity issues whenever there was an unusually high number of calls to the line simultaneously,’ the spokesperson said. Some of the issues were outside the department’s control, they said, including illegal camping, littering and disorderly conduct. Q Letters, page 13

Palestine supporters pressure federal MP Byron Friends of Palestine (BFOP) members met with federal Richmond MP Justine Elliot (Labor) last week to ask why she refused to sign the Canberra Gaza Declaration. It calls on politicians to support the United Nations Human Rights Council’s decision to launch an independent inquiry into purported violations of international humanitarian and human rights laws in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem. BFOP members who met with Mrs Elliot included Duncan Shipley-Smith, Bassem
Shomali, Rihab Charida and Gareth Smith. Mrs Elliot told The Echo, ‘I’d like to thank the Byron Friends of Palestine for our recent meeting and for sharing their personal stories. ‘I expressed my view and the view of the federal Labor Party that a two-state solution for the Middle East is the best outcome in working towards a lasting peace.’ But Mr Smith was unsatisfied, saying ‘she did not explain her reasoning. BFOP calls on Mrs Elliot and the ALP to stop their pro-Israel bias and honour Australia’s legal obligations to Palestine under international law.’

Bruns reserve camping plans anger locals Luis Feliu
The recent demolition of a toilet block in The Terrace Caravan Park in Brunswick Heads, built by volunteer members of the local progress association decades ago, has sparked a new wave of concern about the lack of community consultation by the managers of the public
Crown reserve parks. It follows plans by the NSW Crown Holiday Parks Trust (CHPT) to install half a million dollars’ worth of demountable luxury units, with their own kitchens and bathrooms, in the creekfront reserve adjacent to the park, which is used in peak holiday times for overflow camping. Residents feared at least
six historic Coastal Cypress Pines planted in memory of locals who died during World War I were earmarked by park managers to be chopped down to make room for the new camping accommodation. But CHPT chief executive Steve Edmonds told The Echo the installation of the camp kitchen would not require removal of any

Vale Arthur David Morris 1925–2014 There was one less familiar face at the Mullumbimby Agricultural Society Annual Show this year after the passing of one of its staunchest supporters, Dave Morris. Arthur David Morris, known to all as Dave, was a part of the show for 76 years, from when he first took cattle to exhibit as a lad of just 13. Dave was born on April 29, 1925 in Penrith and when he was six months old, the family moved to the north coast. The son of Lyell and Zuleika Morris, he was the middle child with three sisters either side: Mary, Ella (deceased), Joyce, Anne, Jean and Ruth. Dave attended school in Mullumbimby and in 1936 joined the Mullumbimby Junior Farmers Club and carried out a calf- and cowrearing project. This led to showing at Mullumbimby Agricultural Show in 1938. Dave was also a competent horseman and competed in many events including bullock riding over many years. In the 1940s Dave was elected to the Mullumbimby Agricultural Committee and held many positions in the society including: senior vicepresident, horse steward in
the trotting and hunting sections and chief cattle steward. Dave served as a member of the society for more than 50 years.
Life membership He was awarded life membership of the Mullumbimby Agricultural Society in appreciation of the many years of selfless contributions to the society. Life membership was something Dave never wanted, as he considered many committeemen before him had done as much or more than he had. This was the type of man Dave was, never seeking plaudits for the things he had done.
In 1953, Dave met Joy and they were married in Mullumbimby in 1954. Dave and Joy were blessed with four children, Sue, Ron, Allan and Lyn. In the mid 1950s, Dave founded his own Illawarra Shorthorn stud (Meadow Dale) and exhibited his cattle with success at all north coast shows. At the same time, he started breeding stock horses and ponies.
Brigade captain for 25 years He was also a foundation member of the Mullumbimby Pony Club and assisted in the staging of many gymkhanas.
Dave was a cattle judge of some renown. He travelled everywhere from the Darling Downs in Queensland to the south coast of NSW as a judge. Dave had many other interests in his younger days; he played rugby league for Mullumbimby in the 40s and 50s, he was a member of the Mullumbimby Rural Bush Fire Brigade holding the position of brigade captain for 25 years and he was also an active member of the Brunswick Surf Club for a number of years. Dave also made many contributions to the local historical society. Dave died on October 9. He is survived by his wife, children and and all their families and grandchildren David, Kylie, Brett, Shane, Hayley, Ryan and their families and his great-grandchildren Damien, Xavier, Alisha, Samara and Lucas. His final message to his loved ones was: ‘Keep doing as you have done. I have had a good life and have been fortunate to have acquired a lot of good friends. And above all, take good care of Mum’.

In the hope of understanding more clearly the planning objectives of Byron Council, The Echo asked Cr Sol Ibrahim his views on some of the more contentious issues that are facing the community. In the first instalment, Cr Ibrahim answers questions regarding his reasons to push ahead with a Belongil rock wall. Cr Ibrahim, why is there this push given the state government is not supportive? Money was withdrawn and they wanted the project to be supported by a coastal zone management plan (CZMP). ‘It is incorrect to say the “state” did not support it. One regional office of one state department (OEH Coastal Panel) wanted a rock wall with a shorter toe on the grounds that in a heavy storm [the toe] would become exposed and create a hazard. They were not opposed to a rock wall per se as an interim protection measure, which after all is the actual purpose of the funding. We tried to get the engineer to change the design, but he would not sign off on any alteration. His ex-
pert advice to Council was that OEH were wrong, that the toe was not too long, that it was the right depth, and that a change in design would compromise the structure. Had the design met with approval from OEH, it would now be built, without the CZMP completed. It is still not certain that the funding has been withdrawn. We are waiting for clarification.’ Staff says a lot of time was spent on this, plus $60k so far on consultants for investigation and design. ‘The $60k is part of the funding.’ Council has voted to divert $1m from roads budget etc – including staff long service leave – into protecting three properties and some Council land (one beach access at Manfred St I understand).
‘The site selected is one where Council has a legal obligation to provide protection to Mr Vaughan’s property. ‘This was incorporated into a development approval more than a decade ago. This is why Council has spent $2 million on sandbags there already. Most of the funds come from coastal protection reserves and would be spent on the sandbags as required. ‘The long service leave provision is a relatively small sum. This was a staff recommendation. LSL provisions are normally oversubscribed because they operate on the assumption that everyone stays for ten years and takes their leave. The reserve fluctuates every year as staff leave, and new ones start. ‘These protection works are not just about Manfred Street. This is the narrowest point in the spit. A breach at this point will leave every resident west stranded. Last year we were told by a world expert in coastal protection that a breach during a storm event could put lives at risk as rescue workers attempted to bring residents across the breach. Council would also
have to subsequently repair the road access. I was not prepared to ignore this advice, especially when I saw firsthand two summers ago how close we came to a total sandbag failure. A handful of residents will negotiate with Council over their contribution but without transparency on costings. They are: Mr and Mrs Vaughan, Mr and Mrs Burke and Shuttlewood Properties. ‘See above. Mr Vaughan has had sandbags protecting his property for a decade because of the approval. ‘The last two Greens councils couldn’t avoid spending money on it. Any contribution he makes is entirely voluntary. The same goes for Mr Burke, whose property is already protected by his privately funded protection works. He is putting in money voluntarily. Staff gave us a good reason the contributions should be confidential. Please rest assured, in this instance, confidentiality strengthens Council’s position.’ According to the mayor, the state’s pre-eminent coastal scientists [the NSW Coastal Panel] say the wall is

Belongil rock wall decision way too big, unnecessary and will undermine the CZMP’s decision-making process. ‘See above. I disagree with the mayor’s conclusion. The coastal scientists are not all engineers. They have not said it is unnecessary. It will not undermine the CZMP in any way. Staff have repeatedly said the two matters are separate.’ Why not follow planning process as suggested by the govt and wait for a CZMP? I understand the govt agreed to fund its 50 per cent share of the rocks if the CZMP determines that the rocks be installed. ‘The government gave us $300k to build rock protection works in the full knowledge that there was no CZMP in place. This was the stated purpose of the funds. We expected the work to be completed a year ago. The CZMP has been in draft for a decade, and every time we get close, another sixmonth delay occurs. ‘This current version was supposed to be finished last July, and now it’s next July, maybe… please note; there are basically only two options with the CZMP: commence forcing all the residents of
Belongil to demolish their rock walls and houses and get out, or to maintain existing private protections, replace sandbags with more durable structures, and install sand nourishment and retention infrastructure such as a sand bypass systems and groynes.

‘I concluded the Belongil planned retreat was ethically bankrupt and economically irresponsible’ ‘Regardless of which option is chosen, it will be a decade or two before either option is fully implemented. If retreat is the way, we will have to keep fixing sandbags until the last house is gone. ‘There are at least six homes that are under no legal obligation to be removed. ‘They will expect compensation. The others are likely to challenge us in court regardless. This will take years to resolve. ‘The cost of finally removing the Manfred St rocks will be less than what bags would have cost to maintain and remove (they are not that easy to remove by the way), and this cost will pale into insig-

cil approved them to be there.’ Are you rejecting a CZMP owing to it leading to community consultation? ‘I look forward to the CZMP being completed ASAP. We were assured the CZMP would be finished by last July. We have put in many hours getting it to where it is. This issue is probably the most debated issue of the last decade. ‘We already know, through countless letters and articles in the Echo, what some people think about it (I doubt any of them are facing the loss of their home in this). ‘Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I for one think it hypocritical that no-
one is calling for the removal of the Jonson Street protection works. Even [former Greens councillors] Jan Barham and Tom Tabart dared not suggest such a thing. But a few faceless landowners over in faraway Belongil, well, who cares about them, they are rich! ‘I know a couple of them; they are not rich.’ Has your personal friendship with some or any of these landowners influenced your decision to vote on their behalf? ‘No. I do not have a personal friendship with any landowner in Belongil. Over the past decade, I read the Echo letters and articles about planned retreat. ‘What I realised was there was no ‘plan’ at all. Just an ever-expanding mire of court cases and mean-spiritedness. The hypocrisy of Jonson Street astounded me. I concluded that the so-called Belongil planned retreat was ethically bankrupt and economically irresponsible. This was my personal conclusion long before I ran for Council, and everything I have learned to date has only reinforced my conclusion.’

Gough: a legacy of reason and respect
Volume 29 #22
November 11, 2014
Wassup, big bro A reminder of the ongoing dangers of merging police and state has come from barrister and spokesman for the Australian Lawyers Alliance, Greg Barns. He argued last week in his ABC article, The AFP’s worrying foray into politics, that the police have willingly become mouthpieces for draconian government policies, something which is not part of police obligations or duties. He wrote, ‘The Australian Federal Police Act 1979 sets out the functions of the AFP in section 8. Those functions do not include advocacy but are directed at providing police services, to investigate offences and provide security and ceremonial functions when required.’ Is it a concern that Australian Federal Police commissioner Andrew Colvin openly supports attorney-general (AG) George Brandis’s proposed web monitoring legislation? It will allow the AFP and other security agencies to monitor the internet use of every Australian and forces internet service providers to store customer data for two years. Perhaps more alarming is the unified Labor–coalition support for section 35P of the ASIO Act, which is part of new national security laws. It was hardly debated within parliament, and politicians appear to not understand or care about its implications. According to lawyer Michael Bradley, Brandis is engaging in ‘serial deception’ and the law ‘places a blanket ban on any reporting about a special intelligence operation, forever, and includes no public interest defence.’ He wrote in ABC’s Drum, ‘Section 35P outlaws any disclosure of information relating to a special intelligence operation, and the only additional element required to constitute the offence is that the person making the disclosure is reckless as to the secrecy of the information.’ Maybe this is all needed because the Aussie spooks aren’t getting all the info that the yanks are stealing from us; US online surveillance, according to whistleblower Edward Snowden, is already far reaching and operates outside legislation. He revealed last year how the National Security Agency’s (NSA) top-secret program XKeyscore collects ‘nearly everything a user does on the internet’. Without prior authorisation, he says, the NSA can trawl through vast databases containing emails, online chats and the browsing histories of millions of individuals. But it’s bigger than that, because there’s also the Five Eyes Alliance, comprising the US, Canada, Britain, Australia, and New Zealand governments. According to The Atlantic, they ‘participate together in an electronic eavesdropping co-operative.’ So where is the moral compass? Comparing the narratives of Edward Snowden and AG George Brandis is a good start. Viewing footage of both easily confirms that one acts like an evil James Bond villain and the other is a committed humanitarian wanting to inform the public. It’s what politicians ought to do, but instead the likes of Brandis seek to punish those who speak truth and educate us, like Snowden. Hans Lovejoy, editor

L
ast week’s magnificent memorial service for Edward Gough Whitlam provided many wonderful moments: sublime music, uplifting oratory, arresting insights, Whitlamesque wit and humour and heartfelt appreciation of how much was done, and how much could have been – and how much there is still to do. It gave us more than two truly memorable hours to treasure. But for me, the single line that resonated most powerfully came early in the piece from the welcome to country by the wise Wiradjuri woman, Aunt Millie Ingram. She offered her own personal take on the man: ‘He took us seriously.’ And there, perhaps is the essence of the genius of our 21st prime minister, and the reason he will be remembered and revered more than many of the predecessors and successors who served for far longer terms for far less enduring impact. He took everyone seriously – everyone. As Noel Pearson attested, it could be said without a shadow of a doubt that this old man never harboured a bone of racial, ethnic, or gender prejudice in his body. From the dispossessed first Australians of the outback to the battling immigrants of unsewered Cabramatta, he treated every person he met with dignity. And by doing so he empowered them: he made them realise they mattered, that they could make a difference. For any politician, it would be a rare talent. Coming from one born in 1916 in a comfortable essentially conservative middle-class background, it was virtually unique. Hence his legacy. And it was an extremely practical legacy, a tireless devotion, as his friend and protégé John Faulkner pointed out, to politics and principle – not
one or the other, but both. For many, the mix was and is an odd one, almost a contradiction in terms: principles and ideals are all very well in their way, but they must inevitably be subordinated to the realpolitik of the main game. But Gough Whitlam never saw it that way. His abiding principles were clear; his speech writer and amanuensis – almost his doppelganger – Graham Freudenberg, articulated them in a nutshell: a more equal Australia, a more independent inclusive generous and tolerant Australia, and a nation confident in our region and the world.
ultimate goal. For Whitlam it was always the first step – an important, even necessary first step, but no more than a beginning on the path to fulfilment of the principled vision. His own path was marked with milestones of great achievement and, inevitably, failure; but the setbacks never deterred him. His resolution and his optimism were unquenchable. He had total faith in the future and more importantly in the people. He believed that if the case for reform could be explained rationally and sensibly, the voters too would find the policies irresistible.
Whitlam worked not with spin, fear, slogans, ambushes and broken promises, but with education and persuasion. by Mungo MacCallum They were broad ranging and profound, not like the nitpicking formulae of so many who became his opponents. For many in the old Labor Party, every detail was sacrosanct: the old guard forged in the fires of the 1950s split regarded their prescriptions as immovable and inviolable. Elections were irrelevant, ideological purity was all. So when Whitlam reminded them that certainly the impotent were pure, the invitation to a challenge to reform and modernise was a personal threat: they resisted to the end. But Whitlam knew that politics was an honourable calling – provided always that it was subordinate to policy. It was a means, not an end, in itself: the tactics of the game must never become the game itself. Many politicians believed and still believe that it is all about winning, that gaining office is the
So he worked not with spin, fear, slogans, ambushes and broken promises but with education and persuasion – sometimes at tiresome length. At times the pace of change, and occasionally the parliamentary tactics, could be bewildering, even unpredictable: but the platform was always spelled out well in advance, often years in advance. Even those who disapproved of it could hardly claim they had not been warned. And he wanted them to take part, not only in approving the policies themselves – although that would not do any harm – but the ideas that informed them. The Whitlam legacy is one of reason, respect and a deep commitment to the theory and practice of the democratic process; not a kneejerk compulsion to marking a ballot paper every few years, but an ongoing commitment in the issues and the debates of the times.
The citizens of the body politic – all of them, not just the lucky few – should share with their representatives an understanding of how and why they were being governed and be genuinely involved in making the choices. Hence his passionate conviction of one vote, one value: when they walked into the polling booth, he and Aunt Millie were, at that moment, on a totally equal footing. He despised privilege in all its forms; even during his time as prime minister, he avoided as far as possible the paraphernalia of retinues and bodyguards. It was not uncommon to find the Whitlams queuing patiently for tickets to the theatre or cinema on one of their rare nights off. He was, as Kerry O’Brien recognised, a big man – big in stature, in ideals, in ambitions, in words and in actions. But in spite of the often misunderstood self-deprecatory bombast, he always recognised that, in the end, he was only a man. He never needed a slave to whisper in his ear at his hours of either triumph or disaster. This was the Whitlam who Aunt Millie, and so many anonymous followers, made their devotees: he took them seriously – often more seriously than he took himself. And as the celebrants inside and outside the Town Hall showed last week, it was a memory they cherished and would like to revive in the grim days of what passes of the politics and policies of today. Nostalgia is all very well, but as Edward Gough Whitlam implored to the last: comrades, maintain your enthusiasm. He has been memorialised and will long be memorialised; but now it is time to give this old man a well-earned rest. Vale, Gough Whitlam, RIP.

Letters Systems fail All systems have a shelf-life. All systems ultimately fail. We are living in a period where we are observing many systems way past their use-by date. We are on the Titanic caught between re-arranging the deck-chairs and dancing. Conscious of the fact that my power has been stolen, I’m opting for dancing. Mankind is facing an existential crisis. I do not know of a political system capable of dealing with the problems that beset us. It is here where we must focus our attention. Jim Nutter Main Arm
Abuse not on What part of ‘you will be forcibly removed if you interrupt this meeting again’ does Jim Beatson not understand ? The mayor has to keep order in meetings, and he has to be firmer than he has been previously to stop councillors from being abused and bullied in Council chambers. Jim Beatson, you should know better than to listen to
a ratbag like Tom Tabart, too, who whispered the bullets in your ear before Tom left the chambers, leaving you with the security guard. If Jim Beatson wants to do more for his community, then he should put his energies toward standing as a councillor at the 2016 council elections. Abuse should not be tolerated from ex-councillors either, and any man abusing a woman should be ashamed of himself. It’s absolutely not on! Tina Petroff Ocean Shores
Mega-whingers The Echo’s mega-community of mega-whingers should spend some time in a mega-city where they can be reminded of mega-noise, mega-traffic, mega-diversity, mega-development and mega-culture.

Holiday letting The Byron Shire Council Draft Short Term Holiday Accommodation Strategy will be on public exhibition from Tuesday November 11 to Monday December 8. Victims of Holiday Letting (VOHL) broadly supports the proposed Development Control Plan section. Council’s planning department has thoroughly researched the subject and aims to produce a bestpractice policy. Most of the regulations suggested are to be found in the policies of a range of Australian councils that have successfully implemented a holiday letting policy. VOHL encourages all residents to read the Council draft policy (on website or at Council office) and to make submissions as there are broad implications for residential areas. Some DCPs from councils such as Wyong and Gosford have inherent weaknesses
and flaws in their holiday letting policies. Byron Shire Council offers better. Any effective holiday-let owner/ manager should welcome these regulations to assist them control the behaviour of their guests and protect neighbourhood amenity. The Queensland parliament has made an amendment to the Sustainable Planning Act to give councils power to close holiday lets that had become party houses and designate party house restriction zones. Once that law is fully implemented, we can expect those people intent on partying to head straight to holiday lets in Byron Shire. This is a powerful rationale for strengthening and amending the DCP.

Mining burdens I was overwhelmed with emotion reading reports of the rally in Lismore to declare the northern rivers gasfield free. What really struck me were the words ‘protected by community’ and the description of all walks of life marching together with the humblest motivation: to protect country for the children of today and tomorrow. I feel proud to be a part of the brewing storm that has become the largest social movement in Australia since the anti-Vietnam war. My thoughts turn towards Uncle Harry Boyd and his friends and advisers, Doug Fergurson, Ian Gaillard, James McKenzie and the late Ross Pepper, who travelled around the region raising the alarm a few years back about the underground water being under threat from CSG mining. This group of visionaries
started asking the question of the nation’s politicians: what protection do we have for our underground waterways in Australian law and what is being done to protect our cultural diversity in the northern rivers? We have these men and their partners to thank for raising the alarm about CSG in our region. Then in 2012, a mysterious ‘Wolf Web’ contacted my partner (Jarmbi) and me via our environmental online community called 10,000 Amend and alerted us to a planned CSG well at Doubtful Creek on Jarmbi’s home country. It was a fateful meeting that forged a powerful union between local farmers and local original people. It was up on the hill behind Angie and Dean ‘Wolfy’ Draper’s place around a fire before the blockade began that my heart first truly awakened to the plight of my fellow country men and women whose lives and land were in the firing line to be gobbled up by corporate greed without their consent. I have since seen many faces carrying the same burden that Angie and Dean carried that night: people in Narrabri, Tara, Boggabri, Pilliga, Bentley, Chinchilla, Roxby Downs, Leard, Maules Creek, Acland and Gladstone. And more recently Gloucester, Dubbo, north Queensland. So many sweet, kind and thoughtful human beings being disregarded by government in favour of big business agenda and economic growth. My heart aches for many in Australia, and in fact the world, whose lives have been ruined and or are being continued on page 14

Local filmmaker seeks ‘record amount’ from crowdsourcing Trevor Keightley, local producer and director at Under The Sun Media with several documentaries to his credit, is looking ‘to make Australian film industry history’ by seeking $150,000 through the crowdsourcing platform towards his next documentary-drama. This is the largest amount sought through crowdsourcing for a docudrama project in Australia, according to Keightley. Rather than giving investors simple posters, hats and DVDs of the film for their support, Trevor is inviting these ‘crowd-producers’ to be part of the filming and scripting process via a dedicated web-based TV channel network. The network will broadcast behind-the-scenes action, production and script

meetings and ongoing interviews of the producers and actors themselves. There is even a chance for crowdsourcing producers to play an extra in the movie as well as flights to the film launches and festivals. ‘We haven’t invented anything new here,’ says Keight-
ley, ‘the difference is how we have assembled our design elements and approach. This is not your usual movie. And it makes sense to raise the funds needed from the groundswell of people.’ The film, Occupy Groundswell, is ‘a docu-drama based on the journey of a number of
characters that create a compelling and positive image for the future of humanity as they travel the globe seeking their truth,’ says Keightley. ‘Underpinning the story is the fact that over 100 million people globally seek to live a more sustainable and ethical life that will preserve our planet for future generations. The facts for the documentary part of the film are based on the research of American sociologist and Groundswell consulting producer Dr Paul Ray, co-author of The Cultural Creatives with Sherry Ruth Anderson, who has identified over 35 per cent of the US population as being part of a subculture who base their purchasing decisions on values that are ecologically and spiritually founded
Pros and cons of Parklands Q At this year’s Splendour In The Grass held at Parklands, the Department of Planning and Environment (DP&E) attended the event to assess compliance with the trial approval. While the compliance report released last week shows that there were a lot of improvements in key areas, it also showed non-compliance with the current noise criteria. As a result, DP&E have fined Parklands $3,000 for this breach. Parklands accepts this fine and has been working with DP&E for some months now to better manage this issue. The results of our extensive noise monitoring program at this event (there were over 100 attended noise samples in over eight suburbs) clearly show that the ‘bass’ component was the sound that some residents were hearing during the event, particularly on the Friday night when windy conditions prevailed. Parklands currently has no set bass criteria in its conditions and as such we are voluntarily applying for such limits to be set through a change to the existing approval. By setting bass criteria, the venue can better manage and enforce noise levels, which will lead to a better outcome for our local community. We also acknowledge that we need to improve in our management of the noise complaints hotline during peak festival times and steps have been taken to this effect.The other key change to the approval Parklands is
seeking is the ability to host non-music-focused community events at Parklands. The venue has been overwhelmed by local educational institutions, sporting organisations and community groups seeking to hold their activities during those 320-plus days when the venue sits idle. We would welcome them. We’re nearly halfway through our trial period and have learned a huge amount in that time. We still have more to do and we thank the wider community for its patience and ongoing support as we strive to make Parklands a venue our community can be proud of. Mat Morris General Manager North Byron Parklands Q At
last the DP&E has decided to act against the noise pollution being pumped out of North Byron Parklands by the Splendour in the Grass and the Falls music festivals. The $3,000 fine imposed for noise breaches may appear paltry; however, it indicates two things. Firstly, the music is far too loud and is not being controlled at source, and secondly, self-compliance by the developers doesn’t work. After losing in the Land and Environment Court (Conos V Byron Shire Council), the proponents hurriedly pushed the development to Part 3a determination and gained subsequent PAC approval and consent that now doesn’t suit their purposes for the trial period of five years up to 2017. It is hoped that

the DP&E will not be forced to alter the consent conditions to facilitate more noisemaking that intrudes on our communities’ rights to preexisting peace and quiet. All indications are that this wellconnected ‘festival lobby’ will try to force the department to roll over and let them intrude further on our lives. The community has worked tirelessly with the North Byron Parklands Regulatory Working Group to identify areas where there are problems caused by excessive noise, traffic and telecommunications breakdown caused during festival operations. Excessive noise output is Parklands’ achilles heel and will be so until their festival operators do the right thing by the surrounding communities and turn down the music. It makes no difference that the punters need more noise to enjoy their festivals, or that the largesse offered to local interest groups or the so-called fabulous jobs and economic ‘drivers’ on offer to locals and businesses is given as a good reason to allow this development to affect the amenity of so many residents. If the human residents can’t stand the noise, imagine how our precious wildlife is coping with the excessive noise and lighting that hurtles out into the sensitive wildlife corridor and Billinudgel Nature Reserve during festival operating periods. To suggest that lawn mowers and other domestic activity make more noise than festivals is just another ludi-
crous furphy thrown up to cloud the undeniable issue of state-sanctioned noise pollution by a private commercial operation. Paul Arrowsmith President Middle Pocket and Yelgun Progress Association Inc

Wesley the wallaby on the hop
they are born, and the greatest numbers of them are still found in Surrey, near the studios.) For reasons unknown to common sense – or weather scientists, or politicians for that matter – anyone and anything will move to England, it seems, despite fierce long frosty winters and more grey cloud than you can shake a stick at. As Westminster debates what to do with migrants at the island’s borders, and as the polite new fascists, the UK Independence Party, gain votes all over, more of Nature’s exotic creatures great and small are making their way here – flying, crawling, or sometimes just ‘appearing’. While Wesley the wallaby is probably a pet on the loose, last year in London a Bennett’s wallaby was found and filmed hopping between the graves in Highgate Cemetery, home to Karl Marx, George Eliot and Douglas Adams among many others, including my step-dad, Mike. The wallaby was living there, it turned out, and had been for years.
In a Mr Bean-like mix of incompetence and irony, the rise in wild animals is to some extent probably a result of the Dangerous Wild Animals Act of 1976 that saw many owners let their beasties run away rather than try to comply with all the new rules. As for the sharks entering British waters now by the thousands and the growing number of scary snakes and spiders, it might be down to global warming. Or it might be from watching too much Home And Away. Or even because God wants us to become an ark of some kind. Or, perhaps, they’ve always been there, but now we have mobile cameras so more can be reported. However, overseas wildies are not the only critters causing excitement. Many native predator species are on the return that had all but disappeared by the 1970s. Jackdaws, hedgehogs, wild boar, hawks, kites, roe and fallow deer and muntjacs can all be found in London suburbs and beyond – odds-on because gardeners are using fewer toxic pesticides.
For the most part, wild animals are still more likely to be spotted on TV. But not so long ago, it was a very different story. The Victorians were fascinated with all things feral. London, then, was a busy trading hub which countless ships passed through and stopped at before the Suez Canal was built, many bringing funky passengers. In 1900, there were 120 wild-animal dealers in the city. You could walk into a shop and buy an elephant or a tiger (or a tapir or an armadillo) and take it home to keep in the garden. Trade was unregulated and the animal numbers boggling, fed by a mix of fear and allure. Everybody wanted trophies too, proof of deeds of derring-do. One Indianbased taxidermy company, Van Ingen & Van Ingen, stuffed 43,000 tigers and leopards between 1900 and 1950 to send over. Exotic animals were a sign of Empire, even if it was an empire in turmoil and unravelling. Amid this free-for-all and cruel treatment of animals, nevertheless, there appeared the first buds of animal welfare, and several laws were passed to require better care from keepers. A long way from the rules we have today, maybe. But given how many animals are still kept in poor conditions in modern farming practices, arguably only the focus has changed. There remains plenty a way to go.
in our own way to let them know that we in the northern rivers care about them and their children and will do whatever we can to help. Iris Ray Nunn South Golden Beach
soon afterwards at midnight Palestine time. David Ben-Gurion, the executive head of the World Zionist Organisation and the chairman of the Jewish Agency for Palestine, declared the establishment of a Jewish state in Eretz-Israel, to be known as the State of Israel. From that point on the fiction of Palestine ceased to exist. The British mandate Smith cites ceased to exist and the Jews began returning to their ancestral homeland, given to them by God and sanctified in the holy Bible. As for his claim of racism, maybe he has failed to notice but there still exist races on Earth, despite the politically correct hand-wringing of the past fifty years which has attempted to wipe out millions of years of reality and facts so a bunch of groovy leftists can feel good about their
activism against the ancient land of Israel and its people. Maybe Mr Smith and his ilk should examine their own motives as to why they want to see Israel destroyed and brought under Arab subjugation. As for the League of Nations, is he serious? This body has been defunct for decades and therefore irrelevant. But if you want to go back that far why not go back 3,000 years to when the Jews were given their land by decree of their god? After all, a heavenly potentate trumps a bunch of nations any day. Even if you look at a map of the area during the time of Jesus you will see no mention of a Palestine as shown here: www.bible-history.com/geography/ancient-israel/israelfirst-century.html.

It took fifteen police officers to catch Wesley the wallaby the other week, the latest Antipodean visitor to go walkabout without anybody realising. They had to use a tranquiliser dart to down the little fella. ‘We detained the wallaby without the use of handcuffs,’ said proud Inspector Richard Mallinson of the Yorkshire Police. Wallabies are creatures of discernment. Only beauty spots will do. They like the Lakes District. They love Loch Lomond in Scotland, where several colonies live. How they got there, nobody knows. England accommodates a wide range of exotic animals. Alongside the meek indigenous wildlife, badgers and squirrels and sheep and so on, nowadays there are regular sightings of panthers and other big cats and powerful snakes, all somehow eking out a life on the sly. Great flocks of gorgeous, glamorous green parakeets flit among English trees, a sudden tropical flourish when they appear in an otherwise ordinary day. Thought to be descendants of a pair of escapees from a century ago or more, they now number up to 100,000. (Though some maintain they’re from a flock that escaped the set of the African Queen, with Humphrey Bogart and Katherine Hepburn, filmed at Shepperton Studios in 1951. Parakeets rarely move far from where

Summer Youth Leaguers off to shaky start Story & photo Dogwhistle
Byron Bay’s SAE-Qantm Summer Youth League squad got off to a shaky start against Ballina at Alstonville on Friday night. The young Rams started strong but an unexpected early goal from the bottom-ofthe-table challengers spooked the Byron boys into some uncharacteristically scrappy play. A series of pointless runs and desperately optimistic long-range shots from the Rams only served to lift the confidence of the Ballina underdogs. The Byron boys spent much of the first half on the attack but, with little sign of their usual discipline and structure, opportunities were squandered and an upset looked imminent. Clearly rattled, Byron went into the half-time break one goal down. Some well-chosen halftime words from mentors John Bradbury and Ben Ahern seemed to do the trick, however, and the Rams took to the paddock for the second half with more focus and control. Byron’s youngsters led the
named twice. ‘This is a boatload of the planet’s most [sic] unique surfers as they tear their way through two separate archipelagos, set alight by the best back-to-back swells of the season’, says Colbey. ‘From secret outposts, to new hi-fi wave parks and one of Indonesia’s true gems at its absolute best, Loco Loco will leave your head spinning.’ The film stars Clay Marzo, Chippa Wilson, Matt Meola, Luke Hynd, Billy Kean and Mikey Wright, another local
lad from Lennox Head. The premiere will be at the Hotel Great Northern, Byron Bay on Friday.

settled into a more familiar, fast and smooth attacking game. Knocking the ball around freely and sweeping from flank to flank, the Rams totally overwhelmed the Ballina midfield and defence and left the keeper scrambling. Cool finishes from SYL veter-
ans George Martin and Tane Meek sealed the Rams’ 3–1 win and moved them to third spot on the table behind Thistles and Lennox Head. This week has the Byron lads hosting Alstonville at the Ewingsdale fields in Round 6 of the Championship. Kickoff is at 6.30pm Friday.
by Ian Rogers Play at Byron Services Club, Mon 7pm When Greg Hjorth died in 2011 at the age of 48, thoughts immediately turned to the possibility of holding an appropriate memorial tournament for the Australian chess legend. Last week the Hjorth Memorial became a reality. In addition to the tournament, Melbourne Chess Club also hosted lectures by two of Hjorth’s fellow Olympians explaining how Hjorth became a legendary figure despite a chess career which lasted only a few short years before he was diverted into becoming a world class mathematician. By that time Hjorth had played two Olympiads, won three Doeberl Cups, defeated world class players including Tony Miles and Robert Byrne, played innumerable brilliancies, and acquired a reputation as a chess connoisseur – a reputation only slightly dented by his love for being verbally abused by a little known punk performer named Nick Cave at ‘concerts’ near Hjorth’s home in St Kilda on weekends. Whether it was a 14-year-old
Hjorth being forced to play caged in by a wall of chairs by an irate Australian Championship arbiter, or his Clark Kent-to-Superman effort when arriving at a game a minute before forfeit time (and winning, of course), Hjorth’s chess career was never boring. Hjorth retired as a chess professional after a highly successful world tour in 1984; by the time he appeared at his final Olympiad, in Dubai 1986, Hjorth had already been head-hunted by the University of California in Berkeley and over the next two decades in the US he rarely picked up a pawn in anger. Tournament winner Max Illingworth – who scored an amazing 9/9 against a far from easy field – turned 21 the day after the tournament and was therefore too young to have seen Hjorth in action. However, Illingworth said he was aware of Hjorth’s brilliance, having replayed his games, and also knew, on the mathematical side, about Hjorth’s Theory of Turbulence. Unlike Hjorth, Illingworth plans to stay a chess professional, adding that he was pleased to play in a tournament honouring him.

The humble little Bee is the theme of the 115th annual Bangalow Show with their presence being felt in every section of the Pavilion and across the showgrounds. (It should be noted the Pavilion is known for 360 days of the year as the A&I Hall, but for the week of the Show it is known by its original name of the Pavilion.) The Pavilion will be packed with an array of both traditional show exhibits such as farm produce, horticulture and needlework and exhibits made especially for the Bee theme including hats designed to the title ‘There’s a Bee in My Beekeepers Bonnet’ or Jewish honey cakes used to celebrate Rosh Hashanah in the cookery section that exhibitors bake to the same recipe.

Matthew Michaelis
Ten years ago, my wife and I were sitting in our car, tearing up the highway, our destination the Byron Shire. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d packed everything into cardboard, broken family heirlooms in the process and watched while our worldly goods were stacked high in a truck bound for the rainbow country. Taking a break from our chosen careers, the family cat on my lap, wife at the wheel, we spent the entire journey toing and froing business ideas that perhaps weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d take to market (literally) to make a quid. We arrived with our luggage, a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;coolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; business name and a new commodity to sell to the local community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; apparently. After some time flogging a dead business we realised that we hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t chosen a winner. The product name was quirky, the product was sound and the packagingâ&#x20AC;Ś well, I think it was sexy and saleable. We did all of our initial business from our garage at home (as you do). Orders were coming in and things were moving along, albeit slowly at first. Everything
Above: The Farm. Above right: Martin Brook in the early days, selling their wares at the Bangalow Market
looked on the up and up until the price of one ingredient we relied on went through the roof â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and so ended our sortie into manufacturing in this area. We were still ecstatic to be here nonetheless. Others do not give up so easily however; fantastic ideas are being concocted every week and I see new and fanciful products popping up at
Success in a nut shell
One such couple is Pam and Martin Brook of the Brookfarm success story. Their story is similar to the stories of many who come here; the only difference is that they came out the other end of their market stall with a burgeoning award-winning global business. If you go to the Brookfarm website youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll immediately see that quality appears to underpin the Brookfarm success. It seems Pam and Martin Brook have been passionate about this attribute in order to effect the sort of evolution required to move up the ladder of business. Their credo perhaps is written in part in the background offered on their website: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Brookfarm is today Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading producer of premium quality macadamia products and works on their â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;3Psâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; principle: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Passion for Quality, Passion for a better environment and Passion for great-tasting healthy food.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Having had a neighbour that worked at Brookfarm, I was given a bag of seconds containing one of their exclusive mueslis (specially made for an overseas retailer). Wow! I could not believe this was a sample that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make the grade; it passed all the taste requirements I could muster. In November 2000 after 18 months of testing, baking and tasting, Pam and Martin sold their first macadamia mueslis at the local Bangalow markets. Pam created the products and for the first two years they baked and packaged in the local bakery. Martin would then load the muesli into the back of his car and sell to local shops and
the local markets every time I visit. The northern rivers contains some beautiful areas and many people agree. Folks visit the region and go back to their respective homes and start packing, determined to resettle in them-thar-hills (or seaside).

cafes. The product range grew by popular demand and today all Brookfarm products are made in a purpose-built factory. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;High quality and attention to detail still lie at the very core of our business,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; the website tells us. We all hear of this kind of success and whispers of people knowing friends of the founders or how they had drinks with soand-so the other week. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not so rare in this area though for the successful folk to give back to the community that by and large helped them bring into form their Above: Eddie, Pam, Martin & Will Brook.

ZEST Byron Bay started selling their range of flavours at Bay Seafood and the local markets 12 years ago and has been owned by Pob & Shelley Sellors for the last 6 years. Having been constantly inspired by the incredible support from our local community we expanded our range to create the four curry blends. They are easy to use and a delicious addition to the four original spice pastes that have a versatility for all year round use. Over the last year we have been sharing our flavours nationally and are delighted to receive such fantastic feedback from new customers who also love our flavours that are free from gluten, dairy, preservative and added sugar. We are currently working on two more blends and will be trying them out on our loyal retail outlets here in the Shire over summer.

No dips in Baraka Foods’ market growth Matthew Michaelis
www.brookfarm.com.au info@brookfarm.com.au
I’ve mentioned that my wife and I kicked off a product when we first came to the northern rivers. We prepared and packaged and freighted this business idea in our garage. I would say that there’d be quite a few sheds and garages in the northern rivers that are lent to the production of some interesting business ideas. Amir and Ricky Zikhron did pretty much the same thing with their Baraka Foods dips and cheese business. The difference is they are still with us and are fast moving toward the main game, which is to have their products everywhere, Australia wide and exported to other countries. Amir has been working with hummus in a commercial sense for around 20 years. ‘I’ve been surrounded by hummus since in the womb. Our products are made using recipes that have been passed down through many generations of our family,’ Amir said. Baraka Foods is the result of this North African family’s interest in the foods he now prepares. Their hummus is some of the best I’ve tried on the market, which is Busy filling a strong demand Photo Matthew Michaelis

no surprise considering the ground control that a family-run show has over their own manufacturing. Apart from this, the ingredients used are free from preservatives, colouring and chemicals, and produce is sourced as far as possible through local connections that, over the years, have been forged and reinforced by the farmers’ markets. They no doubt have gotten to know a few producers over the time they’ve been attending the five markets per week they sell from. Tonnes of chickpeas come straight from the farm to factory. Fresh herbs such as basil and parsley are from local growers and are only supplemented when the demand is too high for the local supply to cope. Milk from Myocum Dairy Farm is used for the labneh cheese. ‘In the beginning we started selling our products both at music festivals in a market stall and at Katoush, a MiddleEastern eatery we started in Byron Bay. The food was similar in style to Yami in Brunswick Heads, and we ran it until 2005,’ Amir told me. ‘When we sold the restaurant, we kept on at the music festivals and moved into making house-made MiddleEastern foods from out of our own kitchen.’ Amir added, ‘This was born out of a demand for our foods after we sold the restaurant, so Ricky used to take a basket around and sell the tubs. We then grew out of the house and started manufacturing at the Synergy Group in Murwillumbah, supporting the employment of local disability employees’. For a year and a half they continued and again the business outgrew their production facilities. ‘Our business then expanded enough to move into our own facilities in Byron industrial estate for the next four years. We found a distributor in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane and business tripled – hence our latest move into a large purpose-built renovation of the old Humble Pie factory in Billinudgel,’ said Amir.’ The farmers markets propped the business up while we increased our market share locally. The local markets became a powerful public-relations exercise that paid off in getting the name out into the local community in the northern rivers’. From small things big things grow and currently you can buy Baraka hummus, labneh and soon pesto at independent grocers throughout the east coast of Australia. There appears to be no dip in Baraka Foods’ growth projections as they continue working on Australia wide distribution and export markets. For further information: www.barakafoods.com.au.

Shelling-out the entertainment – Ballina Prawn ‘again’ Festival Matthew Michaelis is known to have a soft shell when it comes to community events with quirky themes. Here he’s plugging the upcoming Prawn (again) Festival. I’m starting to like the regular events held in the northern rivers. I think the fresh, healthy country air requires that you look for energetic pastimes (or perhaps with a young family any excuse will do). You could say that the now-annual Ballina Prawn Festival is providing a ‘cocktail’ of fun (I’m forewarning readers before I go on that I’m not one to resist tempting opportunities for the sneaky pun – just in case it’s not obvious) and entertainment for the family this coming Saturday 15 November. All you have to ‘shell out’ is a gold coin for entry, which, I might add, will bring the average parent and their ‘shrimps’ an outing with loads of live events, food, music and electrifying competition. If you’re shy, the organisers, or dare I say the ‘prawn’ brokers in this case, have a great line up guaranteed to bring you out of your ‘shell’, all set on the banks of the Richmond River in Missingham Park, Ballina. They have some quirky food vendors in both the Artisan Market & Eat Street with the likes of The Three Blue Ducks chefs, Darren Robertson & Mark Labory. Plus the charismatic ‘Gourmet Goons’, Ilias the Greek, and the list goes on. A DIY raft-building competition is one of the highlights; competitors have two hours to build a raft (building materials provided). Last year, someone mounted a toilet on their raft (they were a little flushed and pooped-out after the race). Rafting participants must complete an entry form to take part in this event; it is available on the website along with the huge list of scheduled activities. The grand street opening starts at 9am and the event has an impressive fireworks display when the sun sets.
‘The festival organisers are drawing on the community’s love of a good festival to take the 2014 Ballina Prawn Festival to a whole new level,’ festival director, Nadia Eliott Burgess explained... ‘Many decades ago, Ballina had major festivals such as the Ballina Mardi Gras and the Kingsford Smith Festival. We loved that people really got out there and had such a great time at these events. So the 2014 Prawn Festival has been created to be quirky and a whole lot of fun for all who attend.’ So get your ‘net’ out and go fish for the website; it will reveal their unfiltered internet prawn information for the ‘prawn’ again day out: www.ballinaprawnfestival.com.au or for extra ‘schooling’ try the facebook page – www.facebook.com/BallinaPrawnFestival.

h t plate Pea & mint risotto with toasted pinenuts
Ban She La Belle Dame Grenache
from Anthea Amore’s new cookbook: PASSION organic vegan recipes to live for Ingredients Serves 4–6 as main 1 cup brown rice (short grain rice is more glutinous than long grain rice but you can use either) Filtered water or stock 1 medium onion, finely diced 2 cloves garlic, finely minced 1 cup shelled peas; keep shells for making pea stock Freshly cracked pepper 1–2 tsp good salt, to taste 1/4 cup finely shredded mint (roughly 1/2 a bunch) 200g spinach, washed 3 tbs olive oil 1 tsp vegan stock powder (optional) 2 dsp lemon juice 1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted 1/4 cup coconut milk (optional) Garnish 1/4 cup peas 1 small garlic clove, sliced olive oil, drizzle 2 tbs pine nuts, toasted A little shredded mint Lemon or lime zest
VINTAGE: 2012 REGION: Barossa SA If you’re after something different and tasty and you’re a little bored with the usual suspects, try this grenache. This wine comes from bush vines that are among the oldest producing vines in the world, and it displays vibrant juicy raspberry and cherry fruit. Finishing with soft spice and dried herb. Ban She Grenache would be perfect on a lazy Sunday afternoon with some soft cheese, a crusty baguette and good company. For around $20 a bottle, that relentless search for the perfect wine to take to dinner is over.
Pea and mint risotto with a potato masher, to bring out some flavours. Set aside. Once the rice is all creamy and soft, spoon the pea and onion mixture into the rice and stir. Add the remaining ingredients, including the spinach, and allow all the flavours to mingle on a low to medium heat. Once the spinach has wilted, taste for seasoning and re-season if need be.
Anthea Amore
Pea and/or basic vegetable stock
Cooking the risotto - Place the rice in a medium to large saucepan with 2 cups of filtered water and bring to the boil. Once boiling, reduce to a medium heat and simmer until all the water has evaporated. Add more water or vegetable stock if you have some (see recipe below for a basic vegetable stock). Start by adding half a cup and once again evaporate and cook the rice further. You’ll notice the rice grain swelling and softening as it continues to drink up the water or stock. The trick to risotto is to allow the rice grain to slowly absorb the liquid. Too much water and it may become too runny; not enough water and it may become dry and stiff. So it is best to add a little, stir, and allow it to fully absorb the liquid. Keep doing this until the rice is creamy and soft. Meanwhile, prepare the pea and onion mixture. Sauté the onion on a medium heat with a little olive oil, bringing out its sweet caramelised flavour. Add the garlic and gently brown but do not burn it. Add the peas and some freshly cracked pepper and a pinch of salt. Roughly mash half the mixture
PALEO COOKING CLASS AND WORKSHOP • Learn what Paleo food is all about and how to easily integrate it into everyday life. • Learn about the health benefits and science behind the movement. • Feast on a wide range of Paleo food, starting with breakfast and going right through to amazing desserts and snacks!
Garnish Lightly stir-fry the peas in a frying pan with a splash of water to slightly steam them. As the water evaporates, add the garlic and a drizzle of olive oil and sauté gently for a further minute. Add salt and pepper to season and set aside. When ready to serve, scatter a spoonful or two of garnish on top of the risotto, sprinkle on some shredded mint, freshly zested lemon or lime, and pine nuts. Delicious!
Join Dr Steve Mursa, chiropractor, coach and integrative health practitioner, and Maddy Boud, passionate cook and Paleo living advocate for this fun, interactive half-day workshop.

Directions
Using the pea shells to make some vegetable stock is a great way to intensify the pea flavour. You can add any vegetable scraps you may have. The leaves and inner heart of celery is great as well as carrot peelings or tops, parsley or other fresh herb stalks, and pretty much anything else except beetroot for obvious reasons! While you are cooking the rice or before, if you have the time, place the water, vegetable scraps and pea shells into a pot and bring to the boil. Then reduce heat to a medium simmer. Use warm stock water when the recipe requires, see above. Note The longer you cook the vegetables in the water the richer and mor - full-flavoured it will be.

THE NOBLE ART OF
TALKING ABOUT BLUES
PORTUGAL THE MAN PLAY TWO LOCAL SHOWS: HOTEL BRUNSWICK ON SATURDAY AT 3PM. BEACH HOTEL ON SATURDAY AT 7.30PM.
FROM ALASKA TO OZ: PORTUGAL THE MAN
PROLIFIC ON STAGE AND IN THE STUDIO, PORTUGAL. THE MAN HAVE TO RELEASED SEVEN ALBUMS WHILE KEEPING A PACE OF 200 SHOWS EACH YEAR SINCE THE BAND’S FORMATION. They have developed a reputation as a mustsee set at every major festival across the globe, including Coachella, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, SXSW, Austin City Limits and Australia’s own Laneway, Big Day Out and Splendour In The Grass festivals. Emerging from post-hardcore beginnings, across seven albums their sound has slowly developed into the chorus-driven, harmonic, psychedelic indie-pop that festival crowds love. Tracks like Got It All and So American have won them a league of fans around the world. Frontman John Gourley spoke briefly from the US about the upcoming tour. For Portugal the Man, it seems being on the road is a way of life. ‘We have kind of always toured since the band started, pretty well non-stop. We were born and raised in Alaska – the whole band; we moved to Portland, Oregon, in a mini-van and travelled for three months.’ There’s a sense of space in Alaska that allows a person to find their own groove. ‘I guess everybody that writes or does anything creative,’ says Gourley, ‘is influenced by where they were born and raised and how they were raised. For us our major musical influence comes from the Beatles. There is something about Alaskans: we are very individual people, I guess, owing to the isolation – a lot like Australians!’
IT’S MORNING IN THE OFFICE OF PETER NOBLE, FESTIVAL DIRECTOR FOR AUSTRALIA’S PREMIER MUSICAL EVENT BLUESFEST.
The third artist announcement has gone out and Noble is paying close attention to the buzz on social media, heeding the feedback from Bluesfest fans all over Australia and the world. ‘We’ve had 840 likes since 8am,’ says Noble of the response. Noble believes that the third announcement is the clincher for the festival; once the headlines have been announced, people want to see what shape the event is going to take.
The band have just come out of studio sessions recording with Mike D from the Beastie Boys. Recording is a process that Gourley believes is a lot like making art.
‘This is the best show on sale anywhere in the world,’ says Noble as he breezes over comments from the US declaring ‘Great Bill! Bring Bluesfest to the US!’
‘I compare it to painting a picture: you never know when you should stop – you just stop. You know that when it’s too much you just stop. I think that’s the way my mind works and its terrible short-term memory. It’s good in music. I don’t remember playing something so it’s that much easier to get rid of it.’
‘The first couple of announcements brand it up; the third announcement is when it comes together – where we get to put in the ingredients. You always get the stars out early to get the vibe going…
So what is it about the music of the Beatles that influences a band that could be their grandchildren?
‘This is how you book a festival,’ says Noble, arguably one of the country’s most successful event managers. ‘You can’t go and book the underbill, not even
the sub-headliners, until you get the big ones in because if they all said Yes you’d be going back cancelling people left right and centre!’ ‘There are a certain amount of people we chase, or who contact me, and there’s stuff that comes out of woodwork. They are the ones I am still working on.’ Noble believes the strength of a festival starts with the booking. ‘Music festivals should be creative in terms of the way they are booked and, if they are, then they are a great experience for the audiences who come because it might be the Black Keys that got them out the door but then they discover George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic and a host of others.’ Over the years one of the key focuses of Bluesfest programming has centred on growing the demographic, ensuring that the bill appeals to a diverse age group. ‘I think it’s good at Bluesfest that you see multiple generations coming,’ says Noble. ‘People bring their kids but they bring their dad too! The kid gets to say to Dad, ‘you are going to love this one’! Interestingly, Noble believes it’s easier to turn on younger music lovers to older music than it is to do the reverse. ‘Younger people seem open to the older artists. The challenge is in getting the older people to listen outside of their generation…
‘So many things were happening at that time of social change. It was inspiring and I guess there’s not so much of that left any more. There have been Occupy events; I went to a handful and there were these moments; and guys in a tent with beards looking like 60s Vietnam. I said stop wearing the costume!’ Gourley admits being impressed by Mike D and his amicably pissed-off approach to life. ‘He’s still punk rock; nothing fazes him at all. He’s pissed off all the time, mainly about complacency, and how frustrating it is, and in the end it’s what this new album is about – it’s about anger and the lack of interest.’

soap box!
The monthly open mic comedy at Ocean Shores Tavern resumes Thursday at 8pm. The MC for the evening is Mandy Nolan. Mandy’s style is universally appreciated because it reflects so poignantly the human condition and the absurdity of our world. In short, Mandy Nolan is a truly talented professional with a class act. (Someone else wrote that. Mandy’s cringing because she’s very modest.) Come and see Mandy and other talented up-and-coming local comics including some great talent from Brisbane and the Gold Coast at Ocean Shores Tavern this Thursday. Show is FREE!

HOMEWORK !
After almost 20 years of working from home and wondering why I couldn’t switch off it finally occurred to me exactly why: you can’t go home from work when you are already there. Don’t get me wrong, I love working from home. There is no greater end-of-theday thrill in not only fulfilling your work schedule but managing to squeeze in four loads of washing. Try doing your laundry in most average workplaces and someone is bound to file some sort of complaint about your ‘breach of duties’. ‘What? You have ciggie breaks – why can’t I just pop on a load?’ On the downside, working from home means that work never stops. There is always a mountain of tasks building on your desk, threatening a paper-based avalanche. If you work at Woolies you do your shift and go home. You don’t curl up in the deli and sleep there. You go home and you don’t think about work until you turn up the next day. Home life and work life are clearly delineated. Not so for people who work from home. It’s hard sometimes for me to tell where my home life begins and my work life finishes; they kind of bleed into each other. I have been halfway through an important phone conversation, about to close the deal, when I’ve had the urgent 4-year-old call to arms ‘Muuuuuum!!! Wipe my bottom.’ I have negotiated myself a handsome fee for service and wiped poo off a bum at the same time. My only regret is that I flushed. That whooshing sound of water really travels down a phone receiver. It occurs to me that the person on the other end of the line is going to think I am flushing because I was doing my business while doing business. How do you tell a person that you just wiped a child’s bum? Instead I fudge a ‘Wow, the surf is wild today, I’ll just close the sliding door’. I am relieved that we haven’t moved onto video calls because for people who work from home, our ‘professional’ cover will be blown to bits. For a start I’d have to get dressed. And give you’ll see a comment on Facebook such as, “when are you going to announce someone who put records out in the 60s or 70s?” when what they mean is, “I don’t know any of those artists”! Those audiences are demanding and they hold the 2013 bill as their benchmark! ‘In the end you are a show man, and if I only book my taste, and the rest of the world doesn’t agree with it, then we’re out of business, so you always have to be listening to the public around what they want and also doing the odd thing that they scratch their head about. It’s really important with festivals not to forget who you are. We are Australia’s foremost festival of our type; we are not Big Day Out and we will never be Soundwave. We need to challenge the ticket payer to expand taste, otherwise you lose your relevance in the festival market.’
MANDY NO LAN MCS T OPEN MIC HE NIGHT AT T HE OCEAN SHORES TA VERN ON T HURSDAY!
up ‘Nude Tuesdays’. The chap who delivers my eBay parcels would be devastated. There was a point in my work-at-home career where I really slacked off in my personal grooming. It seemed ludicrous to be getting dressed if you weren’t leaving the house. Some days I wouldn’t get out of my jammies until 4 in the afternoon. I’d have a shower and realise I should probably put them on again. My daywear looked like it had been purchased from the Kath and Kim Tracksuit Collection. So I decided to get up every day and get dressed like I am going to work. It’s part of maintaining my self-discipline and wards off social decay. When you think about it, working from home should mean you’re looking better, not worse, than when you went to a workplace. You’re dancing to the beat of your own drum now, you’re no longer one of the corporate zombies. Now I dress to impress – myself. And the postman. There is one workplace rule for we homers: No TV. Never TV. Not even TV at lunch. You have to remember that you are only one ‘on’ button away from being a depressed housewife watching Oprah, or Judge Judy or Bold and the Beautiful, as opposed to a dynamic work-at-home mum. Working from home means you have to be your own time manager. You need to prioritise which tasks need tending to first. I’m a very busy person; I can’t spent my work day filling in silly little forms for the tax department. I don’t think the tax department have a clue what it’s like working from home, because they work at the fucking tax department. The tax department needs to spend a week with someone who works at home to see just what happens and how hard a self-employed person has to work to make a minimum wage. That way they might stop making those pesky calls that start with, ‘Amanda, what was the reason for your non compliance?’ Clearly the answer is, ‘I decided in the scheme of things, you weren’t important’. They don’t like this answer. But it’s the truth. So I proceed To date the announcements have delivered great news for music lovers with headline acts The Black Keys, Michael Franti, Angelique Kidjo, Jimmy Cliff, The Gipsy Kings, Jurassic 5, and Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals all congregating at the Tyagarah site this coming Easter. The inclusion of Harper in his most powerful and perhaps well-loved outfit, the Innocent Criminals, was something of a coup for Noble. This is the first major global performance since their reunion. Now that is something special. But then Harper has always been a pretty special act for Bluesfest.
with, ‘I didn’t have the money because all my income is invoiced and I thought that feeding the family and paying the electricity bill was more urgent than paying my tax in advance’. The tax man mumbles to himself. So I explain. ‘I can invoice for a period but if no-one pays within that period then the income in that period is absent until they do pay. Kind of like me not paying you.’ Tax man is astounded: ‘So there are periods of no income?’ Yes, dickhead, there are. Then tax man says, ‘Amanda, tell me what it is you do’. I can’t believe this. The dude is on the phone giving me shit for being noncompliant, like I have the earning capacity of Gina Rinehart, or Clive Palmer. We’re talking $6k here. Tops. Not $6 hundred k or $6 million k. We’re talking, six little ks. And the dude doesn’t even know what I do for a job. Maybe he should earn his k by reading his file.
Great, now the tax man is giving me shit. The dude is a heckler. A heckler who could garnishee my bank account if he felt like it. ‘I am a comedian.’ ‘Oh, we don’t have a box for that. I will just put actor.’ If I’m getting listed as non-compliant, I at least want to be listed for my actual job. ‘I am a comedian. Put comedian.’ ‘I’ll put entertainer.’ Christ, now I sound like some sort of fruitloop who stands in the mall with juggling balls.

In the end I give up, tell him I’m a stripper because he apparently has a box for that and agree to pay the $6k by instalment. After dealing with Tax Nazi I pop on another load of washing, make a cup of tea, and watch the teensiest bit of Dr Phil. After all I deserve it. And I’m a comedian, so it’s not slacking off. It’s research. Fuck, it’s tax deductible! album, Bluesfest was in the front fields at Belongil. We were definitely, prior to that year, a blues festival; we had alt country and blues thrown in, and along came Ben Harper and blew people’s minds about what a blues festival could deliver. Here was a guy with real roots and young fans; it was pivotal, it changed the face of Bluesfest. I realised it’s not all old blokes in Jack Daniels t-shirts and beards! I’m not meaning to be rude, but the blues audience wasn’t getting any younger!
‘This is an exclusive. They are playing a show here and going home the next day!’ There is something between Bluesfest and Ben Harper. Way back in 1996 when Harper played off the back of his Fight For Your Mind

So I say, ‘I’m a comedian’. Then tax man laughs and says, ‘Very funny Amanda, what do you really do?’
‘That gig shaped the way Bluesfest became because, as bookers, Keven Oxford and I went out there and discovered all the other stuff we could do and we called it blues and roots from then on. Harper’s appearances over the years have been magic moments. It’s definitely a kind of spiritual magic; the audience goes ballistic for him!’
‘I angled pretty hard to get Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals to come back to do the show here,’ says Noble.

MULLUM GETS
PLAYING AROUND
ITS MOJO
AFTER FIVE YEARS AS FOUNDING MEMBER, SONGWRITER AND VOCALIST FOR NOTORIOUS SEVEN-PIECE NOIR PUNK/ GARAGE SWING BAND THE SNAKE OIL MERCHANTS, MELBOURNE ARTIST MOJO JUJU HAS SET OUT ON HER OWN. She draws inspiration from breakneck rhythms and hard-boiled stories from life and the road, the jazz age, early blues and Latin American Pachuco culture of the 1930s and 1940s.
LIONHEIR AT THE BYRON BREWERY ON SATURDAY
VELSHUR AT THE BYRON BREWERY ON FRIDAY
It’s clear from the outset that Mojo Juju is an artist who marches to her own beat. And that beat isn’t confined to one particular genre. ‘I don’t feel like I fit within one genre. It makes it hard to explain what I do because there is so much that I do and love, and I am not content to just do one thing. I am always fucking with the form. This upcoming new single called A Heart is Not a Yo You that has just come out is testament to that. Mojo Juju believes she and her brother T Bone have a creative resonance that you just don’t get every day.
THE SAMBA BLISSTAS LEAD THE WAY AT THE BALLINA PRAWN FESTIVAL ON SATURDAY
T Bone played trumpet with Mojo Juju’s previous band The Snake Oil Merchants; at Mullum Music Festival he joins her on drums. As for Mojo Juju and T Bone as a twopiece: don’t’ assume it’s all acoustic soft music. ‘There will be a mixture of some old faves, some tunes from the new album, and maybe a couple of reinterpreted works from other artists…’ Along with her performances at the festival Mojo Juju will also be featured at Harry Angus’s Jazz Party. ‘Mullum Music Festival is one of my favourite festivals. It’s so chilled and the programming is so good and it’s such a pleasure to be there – it feels like a holiday. This year at Mullum it’s my favourite lineup, it’s all gold.’ Mojo Juju & T Bone play Mullum Music Festival 20–23 November. For tix and program info go to www. mullummusicfestival.com.

Hardworking singer/songwriter Dan Hannaford has won this year’s Play Mullum and Falls Festival Protest Song Comp with his song Payday, which he describes as ‘a rally cry for working musicians and artists to unite around the world’. ‘Payday’ is a metaphor not only for what artists are owed financially, but a call for an appreciation of their value to a community and its culture.’ Dan is an old-fashioned working musician, playing his heart out up and down the coast anywhere that will take him.

MARGARET POMERANZ, AT THE MOVIES
“THIS FILM IS WONDERFUL” CHRIS MARTIN, COLDPLAY
INTERSTELLAR
It is not always the news that is disturbing so much as it is the manner in which it is edited and presented to us – history might yet judge News Corp to be a greater threat to our freedom than any ragtag army of bullies and godless fanatics. Based on what happened to an American investigative journo who ventured too close for comfort to a dirty government secret, this movie nobbles itself at the outset by presenting the exposé in its preamble.
“VERY ENJOYABLE” DAVID STRATTON, AT THE MOVIES
Christopher Nolan is regarded by many – himself included, you can’t help thinking – as a genius of contemporary cinema. Notwithstanding his rambunctious Batman efforts, my personal opinion is that he is a crashing, life-threatening bore. If, however, you are a fan of the preposterously pretentious Inception (2010) and Memento (2000), you won’t have a bar of such criticism and undoubtedly will love this. But for mine, Nolan (and his brother Jonathan) have mastered better than any other current filmmakers the tricky but hugely profitable skill of making a silk purse out of a sow’s ear. Set some time in the near future, the movie begins promisingly enough with Cooper (Matthew McConaughey), his father and two kids (Cooper is yet another Hollywood widower) eking out a living in the post-apocalypse corn belt of the US. The environmental disaster that we are hurtling towards has finally happened and Earth’s survivors are desperate for food.
When you are told that the US-backed Contras in Nicaragua were being bankrolled by the profits of a vast cocaine trade that was sanctioned by Washington, it takes any sense of intrigue out of the drama that follows; a mystery being unravelled through dedicated reporters digging for facts and revealing them to a deceived readership, as in the classic All The Presidents Men (1976), is simply not there. Gary Webb (Jeremy Renner) wrote for the Santa Monica Mercury in the mid-eighties. He stumbled upon the connection between the state and the cartels and gnawed at it like a dog with a bone. Inevitably, heavies from the CIA became involved and Webb, obsessive in his pursuit of the truth, found himself under intense pressure to walk away from the matter.
Cooper, a former NASA pilot, is battling to raise his son and daughter while at the same time dealing with the dust storms that choke the landscape. A stone’s throw away, Professor Brand (Michael Caine) heads a humungous science project that has been sending people into space in search of viable destinations for suffering humanity to flee to – amazing that nobody knew it was there, but it IS the mid-west, I guess. Anyway, Cooper is roped into the project and with Amelia (Anne Hathaway), a couple of other astronauts and an anthropomorphic robot, they head off into the great unknown – new-age cowboys with quantum physics, black holes, the mechanics of time etc as the injuns.
He was discredited by his peers and, ultimately, his home life suffered. There is an element of orthodoxy in the narrative that makes it feel too predictable – we know where we’re headed and what we want is strong characterisation and emotional content to keep us involved. Without ever losing its sense of purpose, Michael Questa’s film never really rises above the mundane. Renner too often looks like he’s acting – Webb’s reaction to the theft of his motorcycle is way over the top and his acceptance speech is delivered with self-conscious, pretend intensity – while Rosemarie DeWitt is asked to do little more than smile wanly and occasionally tear-up as his wife Sue. Unfortunately, the movie’s lack of virility is highlighted by its devastating postscript
Their adventure is wrapped in mumbo-jumbo philosophising, like the emperor in his new clothes. It dragged on and on, but when Caine carked it quoting Dylan Thomas (yawn) the end at least was in sight… but wait! Matt Damon turns up in his bubble helmet! Oh no, I groaned, does this mean that there’s at least another half-hour to endure? Sadly, it did.

The politicisation of the NSW department of planning is a real worry, with a departmental spokesthingy offering unsolicited positive comments on the West Byron development approval after what is supposed to be an impartial decision. Maybe it’s just easier for planning minister Pru Goward not to be in the public’s line of sight. Despite all the assurances about road upgrading, you can bet the Ewingsdale to Byron gridlock will only increase – at least it will be going too slowly to run over the local koalas, one of which decided a tree in the Woolies plaza carpark was a safer option last week. Q Q Q Q
Further to the mention of the ‘council barbecue’ at Wategos in our Good Life section last week, we’d like to acknowledge the great work of the Byron Bay Malibu Club (see Facebook) in funding and installing the barbecue area in the first place and donating money each year to help improve Wategos amenities. Community at work at its best. Q Q Q Q
Lismore solicitor Steve Bolt, who once wrote a book on drug laws and your rights when collared by the cops, put it in a nutshell when he told Echonetdaily last week, ‘The starting point should be that people should be able to go about their business without being subjected to a police search. There’s been a lot of scrutiny of sniffer dogs and the figures show that they detect drugs less than 50 per cent of the time so that’s a lot of dog indications that lead to a search where no drugs are found.’ Q Q Q Q

ing drink driving and drug driving, then where are the tests and prosecutions for prescription drug overuse to introduce a little fair play into the arena? Magistrate David Heilpern, who once worked on that rights book with Steve Bolt before Heilpern became a beak, has kindly warned pot users that the drug lingers in your system long after use and will be detected by the police’s imperfect system. The demonisation of cannabis, which actually has some beneficial effects, does far more social harm than good but most of our legislators are far too gutless to look at the issue without their ‘law and order’ spectacles on.

The Brisbane Times (brisbanetimes.com.au) reports that Brisbane residents ‘appear to have ignored pleas from the city’s lord mayor to remain in Brisbane during the G20’, and they’ll be heading for the hills in all directions. You can expect them to try to fit into Byron
Bay, even though the town is likely to be chockas already. Traffic changes in Brisbane started last Monday and run until the 17th – see more at
g20.org. The G20 agenda still doesn’t seem to include climate change, which might have some impact on world economies, we guess.
