Mullum and Byron hospitals to close

Raising the YAC

It’s been confirmed that both the Mullumbimby and Byron district hospitals will permanently close once the Byron Central Hospital opens in 2016. Chris Crawford, chief executive of the Northern NSW Local Health District, also told The Echo that staff from those hospitals will transfer to the new hospital.

The comments came after enquiries from The Echo as to whether an emergency ward would remain in both hospitals, given they are located in the two towns. With asbestos being identified in the Mullum hospital, Mr Crawford said it will be removed, ‘then the buildings will be demolished and the site will be remediated.’

‘The remediated land which currently constitutes the Mullumbimby Hospital campus will be sold. ‘No final decision has been made with regard to the future use of the Byron District Hospital campus. ‘Prior to any final decisions being made about the future use of the Mullumbimby and Byron District Hospital campuses, consultation will take place with Byron Shire Council and the Byron Shire community to seek their input on what use should be made of these two hospital campuses.’ The decision also means Mullum’s dedicated birthing unit will also be transferred to the new facility. When asked where the proceeds from the sale of Mullum hospital land will be allocated, Mr Crawford’s office said it is ‘yet to be finalised’.

Lennox Head development approved Darren Coyne

Ballina Shire Council has approved a $14 million residential development on the old ‘Henderson Farm’ at Lennox Head despite concerns it would place pressure on the local traffic network. The subdivision will be built in two stages, with the first stage including 159 residential lots, five public reserve lots, tree removal, civil infrastructure works and associated easements. Stage two will consist of nine residential lots and one public reserve. To be called The Outlook, the development will be built on 92.5

hectares of land adjoining the Coast Road. Cr Sharon Cadwallader, backed by Cr Ben Smith, moved a motion to approve the conditional approval despite concerns that key road infrastructure could struggle with increased traffic. Greens councillor Jeff Johnson spoke against approval, saying that although he agreed the land would eventually be developed, it was not acceptable to place an additional burden on the local road network.

Traffic burden He pointed to a traffic study showing an extra 320 vehicles a day would travel south via Montwood

Drive or Henderson Lane as a result of the development, arguing an upgrade of Hutley Drive should be completed. He said it those extra vehicles would add to an extra 571 vehicles per day from the nearby Pacific Pines, although those numbers would be alleviated by an upgrade of Hutley Drive. He said Montwood Drive would be in excess of its environmental capacity by approximately 18 per cent with both the Pacific Pines and Henderson Farm development combined. But the council’s regulatory services group manager Rod Willis assured councillors that the impacts

would be minor and that Hutley Drive would be upgraded as the development proceeded.

Three year deferment Cr Cadwallader said the council would be receiving $2.5 million in contributions from the developer. ‘By delaying this, we’re just delaying much- needed infrastructure,’ she said. Following debate, the proposal was approved with a deferred commencement date of three years. Crs Cadwallader, Smith, Robyn Hordern, Ken Johnston, David Wright and Paul Worth voted for the development with Crs Sue Meehan, Jeff

Johnson and Keith Williams against. The announcement was welcome news for Elders estate agent Michael King, who said in a press release that the highway upgrade completion, ‘will be a catalyst for an uptick in activity and values for property at Lennox Head.’ ‘History has proven that the quality and connectivity of road infrastructure plays a major role in demand for property,’ he said. ‘The Tweed Coast has gone from strength to strength since the Tugun Bypass opened, because it made the region more accessible to South East QLD, with no stops to cross the border.’

Local News Bikies arrested Kids with courage recognised An outlaw motorcycle gang clubhouse in Tweed Heads has been shut down, say police, and its gang members arrested after a large quantity of drugs and cash were seized last week. It was part of a major operation, which targeted a bikie drug-trafficking network across NSW and QLD. Task force detectives from NSW and QLD were joined by federal police when they raided 75 homes and businesses at Tweed Heads, the Gold Coast, inner Brisbane and southeast QLD, all allegedly linked to the Rebels outlaw bikie gang. Police claim $500,000 in cash and more than $5 million worth of methamphetamine was found.

Ideas roll in for Byron CBD makeover Hans Lovejoy

An interactive mapping tool indicating possible improvements to Byron Bay’s town centre is now live on the recently launched website: www. byronbayourplan.com.au. It’s part of Council’s push to reinvigorate infrastructure and provide planning that will hopefully serve the community and visitors well into the future. While over 700 ideas have already been canvassed, mayor Simon Richardson says Council was keen to hear more. ‘We have one opportunity to get this right and capture ideas on how we move about town. Do we want a higher preference for people versus cars and create more pedestrian friendly spaces and upgrade out playgrounds in Railway Park and the beachfront? ‘Or maybe you have a suggestion about the type of street furniture or street pavers. No idea is too big or small and now is the time to pitch them to Council,’ he said.

Suggestions so far Already on the interactive map, areas earmarked include Sandhills Estate, Railway Park, Main Beach, Butler Street Reserve, the alley behind Woolies Plaza,

Lawson Street North car park and the Cowper Street beach bush path. The Sandhills Estate was identified as a possible ‘shady landscaped parking area close to beach and town [which] would generate considerable income for Council and/or Arakwal people.’ A future market space was another suggestion, as was a history museum and cafe. And as for Main Beach, one contributor said it should be a green space with cafes or restaurants, ‘not a car park’. Cr Richardson added, ‘This is the first time Council and the community is having an holistic look at how our iconic town works and where we need to focus our energy,’. ‘We need a new town cen-

tre and foreshore blueprint that will provide clear direction for the next ten-plus years. The more input we receive will ensure the masterplan truly reflects how we want our town to look, retains our character and has the potential to change how we move about town. ‘The more voices, the better the outcome,’ he said.

Money available So where is the money coming from? Council’s general manager

Ken Gainger told The Echo that $4.2 million is already available from developer contributions. A further potential $10 million in contributions is planned to be collected from developers over the next 15 years, he said, which will also support works identified in the masterplan. ‘Council has also established an Infrastructure Renewal Reserve (currently $1.3m) and plans to steadily build the capacity of this reserve through operational efficiency dividends and the proceeds of property sales and investments. ‘Council will be looking to use some of these funds to leverage federal and state grants.’ Mr Gainger said he anticipated that the masterplan would also highlight opportunities for public private partnerships. ‘Plus, if Council put in place paid parking in the town centre, this could raise up to an additional $2 million each year,’ he said.

Steaming hot weed issue shoots up Hans Lovejoy

A current chemical-free steam weeding trial around Council-run parks has come under pressure after comments by a senior Council staffer. Infrastructure services director Phil Holloway questioned the effectiveness of the trial, telling Echonetdaily last Friday that, ‘While there are signs of some die-back, some weeds grew back in three weeks.’ The comments came after a roadside weeding initiative last week by a few concerned locals failed to stop Byron Shire Council spraying the controversial herbicide glyphosate in Huonbrook, west of Mullumbimby. The steam weeding trail aims to cover six parks and playgrounds by a local contractor, who also runs a garden maintenance business. Mr Holloway said, ‘Due to the need for repeated treatments, the cost is also quite high and cannot be used throughout the entire shire at this stage.’ But contractor Paul Sommers told The Echo that he has ‘consistently told Council that to undertake a trial that collects accurate data –

‘The Netherlands have now banned the use of Round Up (which contains glysophate) and for good reason. ‘While I’m out steaming playgrounds, I constantly get positive feedback from the community saying that they want and expect toxic-free public spaces. ‘I do endeavour to work closely with Council to move towards a chemical-free shire where possible. Surely playgrounds, parks, footpaths and around waterways would be the place to start.’ Mr Holloway, however, has maintained that price was considered an issue. He responded with, ‘While ideally the machine would be used more frequently, the cost currently prohibits this and will need to be reviewed. Staff will continue to monitor the sites

including cost effectiveness and where it is best utilised – would include a three to six month pilot program.’ ‘It’s the best way to gauge success rather than simply two treatments in random places,’ he said. ‘The fact that some weeds grew back after the first treatment is normal and a second application is always needed. ‘This is where the follow up treatments of a pilot program could show the effectiveness of saturated steam as a viable safe and cost effective weed control practice.’

Measuring cost ‘Many other councils across Australia are switching to chemical free weed control as its now clearly becoming a matter of public and environmental safety and with the science to raise alarm bells. ‘If we are to measure cost, we must also look at all the hidden costs of herbicides including potential public exposure to toxins that could lead to litigation. ‘Added to that is a potentially tarnished public image and undermining of the environment, safety and sustainability commitment.

and report to Council in February on its success.’ He said steam weeding has been used twice to treat all playgrounds in the shire targeting grasses that grow through the soft fall. ‘This approach will be continued on the parks where the weed problem is most persistent. In looking forward, additional funds would need to be allocated in the 2015/16 budget to continue the program and increase its reach, and will be considered as part of review next year,’ he said. Mayor Simon Richardson boldly announced in November 2013 that Council will attempt to be chemical free in five years, and a chemical free register has since been established.

Local News Mullum poles makeover

Tamlyn Cargill-Strong and Patric Deagan from Mullum High were two students that helped paint Mullum CBD poles. Photo Jeff ‘Pole Position’ Dawson

Mullumbimby’s main street has been given a splash of colour thanks to a joint effort by Mullumbimby High School students, Shearwater, Mitre 10, Dulux, Tursa and the Mullumbimby Chamber of Commerce. The town’s power poles, which were covered in old posters and disused tape, are now vibrant and more reflective of our colourful community. Tursa organised some workers to clean and prepare the poles while students at Mullumbimby High School

and Shearwater painted the poles as part of the school work. Mitre 10 and Dulux graciously donated the paint for the project. Chamber member and newsagent owner Jenelle Stanford says the poles look much better. ‘The pole out the front of our shop always looked awful with tape and torn posters hanging off it. It had a real negative impact on our shop,’ Jenelle says. The poles painting project is expected to be complete over the next couple of weeks.

Final call for All Shorts film comp Deadline is looming for the Byron All Shorts competition, which aims to celebrate the film-making talent of the region. Film-makers from across the region are invited to submit their short films of up to 30 minutes in length and from all genres. Co-organiser Shane Rennie says there are prizes and cash to the value of around $3,000 and awards include best film, best emerging talent, audience choice and more. ‘If you live in the northern rivers, or have produced a film in the northern rivers, or have made a film about the northern rivers, you can enter Byron All Shorts. ‘Finalists will screen on January 24 at Bangalow A&I Hall alongside the best in the world at Flickerfest, Australia’s leading Academy® accredited International short film festival.’ Deadline is December 5.

New board for Byron’s business chamber Byron Bay Chamber’s recent AGM saw three new directors join the board. Executive officer, Francis Cloake, says new board members are Bjorn Peterson (Woody’s Surf Shack/Byron Bazaar), Alice Livingston (Cape Byron Kayaks) and Perry Bartholomew (Byron Bay Dive Centre). ‘They bring a range of business experience and skills representing tourism, the environment and entertainment venues,’ Ms Cloake said. ‘The new board, more than ever, mirrors the business community in Byron Bay, from the CBD, industrial estate, home-based business and sole traders (the fastest growing segment of the chamber). ‘Byron United is a nonpolitical organisation, aiming for community prosperity and facilitating communica-

tions between businesses, council and government. ‘It has input on matters that affect our town, with its board members active in many decision-making organisations. ‘Chamber members are updated on issues through the fortnightly newsletter and also at information sessions where stakeholders and decision makers interact in both forums and Q&A sessions. ‘Council’s new town masterplan is one such issue, and the chamber is encouraging both businesses and residents to get involved in this exciting project. ‘The new board is here to connect and engage with local businesses and to provide a membership voice that is heard as part of a strong business community.’ For more information visit www.byronunited.org.au.

Disabled surfing local meet If Christmas is a time of giving, one of the best ways to give back to the community is to help someone have a great experience they couldn’t have otherwise. That’s the philosophy of the Disabled Surfers Association, which will be holding its next Byron Bay meet on December 6 to coincide with International Day of People with Disabilities

(December 3). The event will take place at Clarkes Beach Byron Bay, with a sign-in for volunteers at 9am and for participants at 10am. It will be followed by a barbecue and is free for volunteers and participants. To check out how much fun can be had, watch Sharon Shostak’s video of a 2012 DSA meet at http://bit.ly/dissurf.

New counterterrorism laws give spooks more power New laws enabling some intelligence agencies to launch emergency operations without federal government approval were passed by the federal senate last week. They are the third raft of counterterrorism laws, which also saw attorney-general George Brandis refuse to answer questions on the bill by Greens senator Scott Ludlam. The Echo asked Richmond Labor MP Justine Elliot if she

was comfortable that she adequately understood the laws she voted for, given they were rushed through parliament. Mrs Elliot replied that The Counter-Terrorism Legislation Amendment Bill (No. 1) 2014 was considered by a parliamentary joint committee, where ‘Labor is represented by five members and senators’. ‘Our representatives on that committee considered the bill and made recommen-

The barnacle that dare not speak its name

Volume 29 #25

December 2, 2014

Selling our stuff Politicians like selling our stuff. They especially like to sell our stuff in order to buy other stuff with our money and tell us they’re giving us ‘grants’. The NSW government proposes to sell off the wires and poles by which electricity is distributed in order to spend the money, expected to be around $20 billion, on other infrastructure. Our outgoing local MP, Don Page, tells us his own National Party wrested a huge proportion of this money, $6 billion no less, from the coalition government – of which he is a member – to be spent on regions outside Sydney. No doubt he got the promise written in triplicate and sealed in blood, because that’s the only way the electorate will believe it. Selling public assets (‘privatisation’) is popular with politicians and the big end of town, who both benefit from the transaction. The pollies get money to splash around, particularly before an election (yes, there’s one coming up in this case), and the fat cats suck up profits which before were going into the public purse. Privatisation is not popular with voters, anywhere, because in the majority of cases people know perfectly well that they will pay higher prices for poorer services when business takes over. There have been a few occasions when privatisation has saved or improved ailing state-owned industries but not many enough to change public perception of the practice. Liberal premier Baird’s proposal to sell the electricity distribution grid has predictably received enthusiastic approval from the mainstream media, whose owners stand to benefit from any further concentration of wealth, and gut-reaction disgust from the rest of us who have to exist on modest incomes. Honourable opposition comes from the Greens, who have no power, and hypocritical opposition from Labor, who will probably do the same thing as the Liberals once in government. Of course, in order to sell something you have to have a buyer. The value of the poles and wires depends on centrally generated coal-fired electricity continuing to be the model for our power needs. Surely, with the uptake of cheap solar installations and the potential for consumers quietly going off the grid one by one, investing in the old-fashioned model is problematic? But wait, the cost of solar panels, and renewable energy generally, is tied to the amount of research and development available, to make these alternatives more efficient and affordable. What if we stifle the development, cut off the funds, close down the government agencies, make it much harder for consumers to adopt the new technologies? Problem solved! The Abbott government is pursuing this policy, so Baird doesn’t have to, and the future of fossil-fuel energy is secure, and so too is investment in the distribution grid. Perhaps this is one case where we should let the greedy bastards sell off our assets without complaint. There will be a short-term boost to the state’s finances, some of which we may or may not see spent in our region, but whatever foreign corporation takes up the offer, although it will be protected by one-sided trade agreements from behaving honestly or paying tax, the deal will not be a good one. Abbott’s denialism will be swept away at the next federal election and the country will be able to focus on serious climate change mitigation. In the end nothing will stop the eventual decentralisation and decarbonisation of our energy supplies. David Lovejoy

made up their minds and the change was inevitable, Abbott announced that if they exercised their democratic right he would rip some $1.5 billion from their infrastructure spending as a condign punishment. It looked petulant and spiteful, and will do nothing to mollify Victorians as they prepare to wait for the next federal election. If they have to make a choice between Abbott and the CFMEU, there is no doubt which they see as the lesser of two evils. So Victoria has been well and truly scraped off: but this was presumably not one of the barnacles Abbott was referring to when he told the troops he

be more adamant – be both; be more aggressive, more conciliatory; return to your model in opposition, remake yourself in government; explain your policies in more detail, keep them simple and concise; go back to the speedos, buy more blue ties. And of course, do something about the office. But within that sanctum, there is one barnacle that dare not speak its name: the paramount limpet, She Who Must Be Obeyed, Abbott’s chief of staff, Peta Credlin. The timid and deafening silence about naming Credlin comes only from the Abbott acolytes: his critics and opponents have been rather more vocal.

Napthine himself has been too tactful to sheet the entire blame to Tony Abbott but his defeated colleagues have not been so restrained. by Mungo MacCallum was going to do a bit of careening before Christmas. Then, just what were they? Not, it appears, the much loathed $7 GP co-payment, the increases in university fees, or the cancelling of the dole for the young unemployed; after some obfuscation and confusion, all have finally confirmed as unwavering commitments. And not the raft of underperforming ministers, long overdue for reshuffling: even the widely ridiculed defence minister, David Johnston, has Abbott’s full confidence. Which brings us, or at least it should bring us, to the prime minster himself, and his weirdly dysfunctional office. It is not that the problem is new, or that it has not attracted widespread comment. In the last fortnight, Abbott’s most desperate supporters have bombarded him with advice, much of it contradictory: be more flexible,

Credlin has been accused of all kinds of offences, some of them improbable, many even scurrilous. But one thing is agreed: Credlin is the immovable, implacable barrier between the prime minister and the outside world. She demands subservience not only from backbenchers and ordinary functionaries, but to ministers and to the heads of the public service – even, some say, to Abbott himself. She is authoritarian, obsessive and remorseless; no detail escapes her, no peccadillo remains unpunished. Those with long memories recall the days of Juni Morosi in the office of Labor treasurer Jim Cairns and even further back to Liberal prime minister John Gorton’s factotum Ainsley Gotto. One common element is sexism, misogyny even, but a more important one was that all three were outsiders: none had spent much previous time or experi-

ence in the culture of Parliament House and all were resented by those who had. And as a result they became zealously protective gatekeepers, installing their own apparatchiks as loyal and obedient guard dogs and shielding their respective bosses from any influences that might disrupt their cabals. The inevitable outcome was a pre-emption of eccentric and unworkable policies, a total lack of frank and fruitful advice, a breakdown of communication, confusion, resentment and chaos. And in the end – and they were pretty brief ends – the first two political masters they dominated crashed spectacularly. Those government supporters intent on reform rather than simple vengeance are genuinely concerned that their own leader may suffer the same fate. But so far Abbott seems determined to stand firm: he is, he has said, quoting his mentor Margaret Thatcher, not for turning. It might work; he might still muddle through for another two years, turn the polls around and prevail over an uninspiring opposition and its leader. But barnacles, if not attended to, can eventually sink the boat altogether. I recall a wonderful cartoon from the dying days of the government of Billy McMahon, when Bruce Petty drew the hapless prime minister clinging to a piece of smouldering wreckage. The caption, adapted from the poem Casablanca by Felicia Hemans, read: The boy stood on the burning deck/ Whence all but he had fled./ And a staggering piece of insight/ Kept going around in his head./ When the flame of truth hits the ship of state/ And the tides of time are turning/ They tend to bucket the captain/ When the ship is what is burning. Is history repeating?

ell, there goes the jewel in the crown, as Robert Menzies used to describe, rather smugly, the Victorian Liberal Party. His smugness was justified: the Libs held power in the cabbage patch state from 1955 until 1982 – 27 years, even longer than the seemingly endless federal regime inaugurated by Ming the Merciless himself. But since then, Victoria has come down to earth, and last weekend with a resounding thud. Denis Napthine, the less-thanone-term premier, has joined the elite ranks of the leaders who have never won an election. His had been a fraught administration – a change of premiers, the looming demise of the car industry and the soapie shemozzle of Geoff Shaw, which led to minority government. But for all that, it was not widely disliked or resented and his Labor opponent was somewhere between undistinguished and anonymous. In the normal course of events he could have looked forward to a second term with at least a measure of confidence. But everything changed in May, when his own generally praised state budget was overwhelmed by the avalanche from Canberra. Napthine himself has been too tactful to sheet the entire blame for his demise to Tony Abbott, but his defeated colleagues and their supporters have not been so restrained. Almost from the start they saw that Abbott was electoral poison, and then it got worse. Napthine’s campaign did not really include the prime minister in person, but he featured prominently in the advertising – the Labor advertising, of course. Those ads endorsed by his party desperately shunned any mention of him. And when the polls had made it clear that the voters had

Visions of a transport splendid Q Is a bike track on a disused rail corridor the best we can expect from the National Party? The Liberal/National government is spruiking the privatisation of our electricity poles and wires for $20 billion. A figure that is now in serious dispute with the Australian Energy Regulator cutting the value of the NSW electricity network by more than 27 per cent – blowing a multi-billion dollar funding hole in Mike Baird’s electricity privatisation plan. What’s worse is if we sell off these assets where is the benefit for the northern rivers? Sydney can expect an $8.9 billion boost for public transport. What do the northern rivers get under the government’s plan for public transport? $0. If we are going to sell off our future shouldn’t we be getting something in return? The benefit of keeping the electricity network in public hands is that we all continue to benefit from the up to $1.7

billion we get every year that can be invested in schools, hospitals and infrastructure. Now that’s good management in my book. Paul Spooner Labor candidate Ballina electorate or not the return of rail to the northern rivers is possible, viable, or even likely, I have no idea, but we must keep the option open. Removing the rails would close that option, although it would be quite lucrative for whoever has dibs on all that steel. The track is, for the most part, a stable substrate for clip-on, temporary (or not), relatively inexpensive panels. At some time in the future when common sense prevails (we can but live in hope) the path can be moved to the side. It will have proved so valuable by then it certainly won’t be scrapped. There are plenty of panelling options but my favourite is from the Netherlands with

2020 vision: Hi, folks, I’ve been in Byron Bay a week now. It’s the tourist mecca of the southern hemisphere. Such a beautiful stretch of coast with a magical greenclad hinterland. They call this the Rainbow Region and here you really can ‘catch a rainbow’. They’ve got this tourist train with carriages painted in bright rainbow colours. It’s called ‘The Rainbow’ and takes people through to the inland towns and villages. They’ve got quaint little stations at places like Booyong, Eltham and Bexhill with great cafes and gift shops. Apparently the local community got tired of waiting on the government to repair the lines and bring back the trains so they organised to do it for themselves, formed a company, sold shares, secured

Fish kill causes

A constellation of factors presents itself in relation to this concern. 1. The current wetland sewerage system remains at Stage 1 in development (Stage 2 and Stage 3 were mooted many years ago). Information to hand indicates that this system is coping with the inflow of effluent but not the outflow. A recent

published letter was submitted to The Echo advising of outflow waters leaching onto a nearby farming property. The extent of water necessitated the removal of cattle to higher land. 2. Two decades ago the Belongil waters were tested, revealing dangerous residues in the creek sands. In particular, cadmium was noted.

I refer to Suzie Deyris’s letter in The Echo of November 25 concerning ‘a slimy green mat all along Belongil Beach... and a large number of dead fish along the tide line of Main Beach on Tuesday November 18.’ This was well before the current storms that occurred in the Bay.

Can Council get it right with holiday letting plan? I refer to Jenny Coman’s recent letter in The Echo. Much as we love you, Jenny, and your great contribution to our community, we do feel that you have misrepresented the position taken by Victims of Holiday Letting (VOHL). VOHL has stated in recent letters to the editor and a media release that we are supporting the proposed Development Control Plan (DCP) only. We are making submissions amending and adding more protection to neighbours of holiday lets. Many of the regulations in the DCP on public exhibition have been researched from Australian councils that have existing holiday letting policies. These are working. VOHL strongly opposes the open model plan where holiday letting will be allowed anywhere a residence is found. VOHL supports zones/precincts and contin-

ues to present the case for a reduction in their size and to have boundaries to areas of existing concentration of holiday lets and to exclusion areas where there is a very small number of holiday lets. This would protect a majority of R2 residential zones. We believe it is on record that Jenny supported and devised precincts when she was a councillor. VOHL initially urged Council to prosecute illegal holiday lets which was boosted by a Land and Environment Court decision. Instead, Council decided to develop a holiday letting strategy in line with other NSW coastal councils. If Council’s strategy is not strong and enforced by additional resources including 24/7 ranger presence neither VOHL nor the community will accept it. Doug Luke Co-ordinator, VOHL

Q Eddie

Obeid had a simple, sure-fire formula for success in politics – someone has to be paid. Eddie’s mantra is just a cruder version of Keating’s observation that in any twohorse race put your money on self-interest; at least you know it’s trying. Communityinterest is often diverse, fragmented and directed more to quality of life. Self-interest is narrow, clear and tenacious; eyes on the till. Is self-interest at work in Byron Shire Council’s dealing with illegal holiday letting? On February 12, 2013, Council put out a press release headed ‘Holiday letting to cease at Ewingsdale property.’ It begins: ‘A Ewingsdale property owner in proceedings commenced by Council in the Land and Environment Court has consented to enforceable orders that the property will no longer be used for holiday letting. Byron Shire Council’s governance manager, Ralph James, said the decision by the landowners to surrender to Council’s case and consent to orders means that holiday letting will no longer occur at the property. “Council has achieved the objective of the proceedings and will not face a potentially lengthy court hearing,” Mr James noted.’ After stating that the property owner is required to pay all of Council’s costs ‘in the vicinity of $50,000’, the press release continues, ‘Under the

Toxic waters can affect the brain and sight of living organisms (humans included). Gut viruses in the human brain destroy co-ordination. Before the wrecking ball

court orders, the property can no longer provide short-term rental for holiday accommodation nor can it be advertised for this type of service. Mr James said he understood the property was now in the process of being leased for 12 months’ residential terms. He also noted that Council would now be pursuing another holiday letting case in the Land and Environment Court…’ But, as I understand it, this never happened. I have been informed that some time after the Ewingsdale case, councillors resolved not to take any further legal action against illegal holiday-letting owners. So if, just as the crooked dominoes were all about to fall, councillors intervened to save them, then the question why must be asked. As Matt Hartley made clear last week, under the current LEP holiday letting of residential properties is illegal. If then it is fact that councillors resolved to green-light an illegal, exploitative activity, the ICAC should be called in to investigate Byron Shire Council on this issue, and, while they’re at it, the Belongil rock wall matter. Adrian Gattenhof Mullumbimby Q I agree with Matthew Hart-

ley and Jenny Coman (Letters, November 25) regarding the council’s proposed holiday letting strategy. There is already a law in place to reguof proposed development ignites in Byron, in particular West Byron and Ewingsdale developments, the above issue remains of imperative public interest. Once again I ask will the pro-development Byron councillors submit to the Byron community the proposed treatment of sewage plan? Will this plan in-

late holiday letting that the Council has chosen not to enforce. How then, can we have any confidence that Council will enforce their new proposed controls? Under the new holiday letting free-for-all we are told that a ‘three strikes and you’re out’ policy will exist. I’d like to know upon whom is the onus to prove that there has been a disturbance from a holidaylet property, and what constitutes a disturbance? And how are you, the beleaguered sleep-deprived resident, supposed to prove it? What if (and why not?) the holidaylet tenant denies all? And fights back? Our council has a proven track record of doing nothing in this regard so we can expect doing nothing will continue to be done. Council does have a duty of care to its ratepayers and the resident community of the Shire. There already exists a clear planning policy that prohibits tourist accommodation in residential zones. The council, as the consent authority, has no discretion in this matter but is legally required to enforce the Building Code of Australia. Why doesn’t it? L Andrews Byron Bay Q Given

Labor and CSG

In reply to Ross Cornwill’s letter of November 25 on what state Labor will do concerning CSG mining in NSW if elected: Ross, as I’ve written once before concerning NSW Labor and CSG, it was Labor who sold off the leases for exploration and extraction in the first place. Not only in NSW but in Queensland under the Bligh Labor government as well. Your comments, Ross, about what Labor is going to do concerning the CSG industry in this state are like

In Dobrohotoff v Bennic [2013] NSWLEC 61, Justice Pepper decided last year regarding a holiday let that it: ‘...was not a dwelling house because it could not be fairly said, looking at its use as a whole, a short-term holiday accommodation, that, as a matter of fact, the property was being occupied in the same way that a family or other household were in the ordinary way of life would occupy it.’ She made reference to Blacktown City Council v Haddad [2012] NSW LEC 224 at [35]. She commented on types of social use, but crucially made this remark: ‘…when considering the first limb of the definition of dwelling, regard must be had to the notion of domicile contained within it, and the critical element of permanence. Inherent within the term domicile is, as a long line of authority in this jurisdiction has established, the notion of a permanence [sic] home or at the very least, a significant degree of permanence of habitation or occupancy.” (My emphasis added.) The matter is plain. The authority well established. Council is derelict. Corrupt or incompetent? An invitation to class action is hereby extended.

GP tax

The $7 GP tax is an unacceptable tax which will ultimately cost us more than it is supposed to raise for the current government’s budget. Elderly myself, I am an executive of the Mullumbimby Senior Citizens Club, and I know a lot of seniors in the Byron Bay area. Should this Abbott government prevail with its intentions, these people will be badly affected (many are pensioners) and are very likely to delay visits to a medical clinic owing to additional costs. Such delays could ultimately cause these elderly to be hospitalised, with a much greater effect on medical costs per bed and the strain of extra expansion demand on our hospital system. We have the impression that the Abbott government is desperate

Babysitting While applauding the efforts of the Red Frog team during their annual schoolies babysitting term, I was surprised to learn this morning from three well-dressed and suitably T-shirted young volunteers who pulled up in a van out front of our house at 10am that they were on their way to cook breakfast for a household of schoolies nearby. I understand that Red Frog also supplies free house cleaning and free night-time drive-home services. I asked the volunteers if they also offered a nappy changing service, as unfortunately this isn’t the way to prepare the recipients for adult life. P J Prideaux Byron Bay

Ways forward with weeds A road-side weeding initiative by a few concerned locals began in response to the threat of more herbicide spraying. Many hours later, thousands of the offending ‘jump weed’ had been pulled and left to dry in small piles, to remain visible to passing people and the Byron Shire Council sprayers. Council had been informed of the initiative and reminded of the chemicalfree register onto which some of the landholders had signed. So it was to my dismay when I received three phone calls this morning telling me that the spraying men were distributing a herbicide along the edges of the roadside where we had already weeded and are continuing with follow-up as time permits. Byron Shire Council has pledged to cease the use of

herbicides on public land during the next five years. More independent evidence from outside of the chemical companies is showing increasing contamination of waterways from herbicide residues in run-off after rain. Recent samples from the Great Barrier Reef, to sediment along the sea shore, have found rising evidence of glyphosate traces. Some regard independent science regarding Roundup (glyphosate) as hocus pocus but didn’t some of us say the same about asbestos, DDT and tobacco? This is a very disappointing development and another blow to those of us who are walking the walk. Byron Shire Council should be supporting all community involvement in herbicide-free weed removal. Most of us live here or have moved here because we

genuinely care for what is left of our already severely degraded environment. Those of us who live and work on the land and in the rainforest know by continual observation that adaptation is the only way forward with the acceleration of climate unpredictability. Poison applied to our remaining ecology is a serious impediment to the health of our water and our soils and everything that lives from it. Think of the small birds that feed on sprayed insects, the tiny frogs sheltering then have a poison sprayed on their skins. And everything else we can’t see. Time to live and act in harmony with our total environment. For more on weeds and how we could be reacting, see http://weedsnetwork.com. Donald Drinkwater Huonbrook

It doesn’t make any sense to me to have public land surrounded by private homes and therefore no access for the public.

It feels extra unfair when a court case was won by the community to protect the ridge adding clean, green, community space to the development plan. Then, after all the lots on the street had been sold, you find out that actually one of them wasn’t sold; it was just held by the developer so that a laneway could be retrospectively cut into the green public space to be developed. It doesn’t really mend my broken heart when I hear the Tallowood developer Eric Freeman on the front page of The Echo stating that the generous development will now donate a fling of land nearby and protect some of the trees that unavoidably will be very close to those three new houses. Good on him for getting on the front page, though. It doesn’t really soothe my soul either when Tallowood continued on page 14

Follow the money, then follow the water

ollow the money? This time, it leads to the recent state decision to rezone West Byron and construct over 1,100 buildings on 65.5 hectares of drained swamp. But much more important is to follow the water. Three types of surface waters flow in Byron Bay. The first is rainwater. The second is the sea. The third is the water flow that we rely on now that we have given up on using natural springs and wells: our tap water and sewerage system. Back in 2004, a lot of scientific, Council and community work finally developed a plan to live with all this water. The ten-year plan, based on the ecology of local wetlands, would treat stormwater pollution, ease flooding and treat sewage and wastewater without any outfall pipes into the ocean. The feeling was construction in West Byron had to wait and see. By 2014, this plan is still incomplete, but that construction is approved. Standard calculations estimate 240 litres are needed per

Network incomplete The first stage is the constructed plant which accepts all the sewage and does the treatment to a high standard. The second stage is the redistribution of the effluent, the outflow. The redistribution is to happen in three ways. Only part of that redistribution network has ever been completed. The first part is a system

up the estuary, compounding flooding. But the drains remain grassy channels. They crisscross paddocks of acid sulfate soils, carrying more effluent than was originally planned to the estuary. A new flood plan, brought to Council in November, wants levees and pumps installed along Butler Street. Slowing the rain with tanks is not a priority. Only one watersensitive-design parklet, at Sandhills, is suggested.

person per day. Water leaves each sink and toilet to enter sewerage pipes to be pumped by 40 different stations to the sewage treatment plant (STP) behind the sports centre. The STP is designed to accept an inflow of seven megalitres a day. Based on figures since 2012, it’s accepting 73 per cent of that total capacity. This daily flow is constant, rain or shine. Where there is inflow, there must be an outflow. The STP is a prize-winner, combining engineering and ecology in a custom-tailored design to fit the catchment. Right now it is still a work in progress. Two of three stages have been created.

that uses effluent to water golf courses and sports fields. The second is effluent available for use by nearby farms. The third is the construction and regeneration of wetlands, starting with less than fifty hectares near the STP. These also grow paperbark trees while supporting birds and other wildlife.

Hunter DAs

I note with some interest Hans Lovejoy’s comments in his report on the proceedings at last Thursday’s Council meeting. I refer, of course, to the latest attempt by Cr Hunter to inflict his ministorage activities on the local residents who Hans aptly describes as the ‘long-suffering neighbours’. I applaud him for seeing these activities as they really are and for his willingness to tell it as he sees it. These are qualities which have been sadly lacking in Council’s assessment of the string of development applications lodged by Cr Hunter and his wife over the last few years. Since the early days of this saga they have insisted to all who would listen (in particular, Council staff and the

lands. Rooftops, driveways and roads hurry rainfall down pipes to drains that all lead to the Belongil Estuary. As it travels it washes exhaust and other pollutants into the estuary and sea. Through town, it gets backed up around the Clock Tower, the lowest point. Eventually, it gets through the Butler Street drain.

Slowing water The western industrial area has similar problems. other councillors) that these multiple efforts to secure the development approvals they needed were, in fact, all about improving the viability of their cattle grazing and seeds/grain distribution activities. He has, however, been less forthcoming in his dealings with the Pinegroves Road residents. Those of us who have lived in this narrow country lane in recent years have, sadly, not had the benefit of being consulted so enthusiastically about his plans while this saga has been unfolding. The real problem for the street is that when, some weeks ago, the Hunters were granted an approval on the basis of ten truck movements per week, limited to four tonnes per vehicle, most of the residents were disposed to accept this as a reasonable outcome, something of an acceptable compromise. Those same residents now feel ambushed by Council’s recent decision to allow these truck movements to include 12-tonne and 16-tonne vehicles, a dangerous extension of the development approval on a narrow and steep road which was originally designed and built for limited farm access.

To slow the water, rain tanks were planned for every roof. To slow and clean water, tiny wetlands and other water-sensitive designs were planned for Sandhills and other places in town and the industrial estate. The West Byron drains, having been transformed into wetlands, would be great sponges, as well as wildlife havens. They could better accommodate not only stormwater but also great surges of stormy seawater. These go While the approvals restrict the truck movements to daylight hours and on weekdays only, previous experience of this operation has shown that people accessing the site do so at all hours of the day and night and most often at weekends when the residents prize the tranquillity of this area. No one in this rural retreat that I have been involved with would deny Mr and Mrs Hunter the right to make a marginal farming operation more efficient or more profitable by engaging in some limited commercial activity, but to enhance one’s income-earning potential at the expense of the amenity and the lifestyle of one’s neighbours, to say nothing of putting at risk the lives of their children, their pets and the wildlife in the area, is unacceptable.

ABC cuts

Dear Mr Turnbull, it must come as no surprise to you, as a businessman wise in the ways of the money world, that the $254 million axed from the ABC could be saved/recouped in other directions. Let me give you a few suggestions.

The regeneration of wetlands and other water-sensitive designs remain critical to handling all three types of water flow. Without them, the 2004 plan to reuse the STP effluent is way behind schedule. The inflow capacity is growing, but the redistribution of outflow is not. How is it that our vital community infrastructure is left incomplete for a decade while private mega-development is fasttracked? Water will trump money. It’s an honest fact of coastal living. Let’s start again from where we left off. 1. Cut the ridiculous school chaplaincy program, absurd in a basically secular country. 2. Curb the global shenanigans of your ‘shirt-fronting’ colleague grandstanding globally on the downing of the Malaysian aeroplane. 3. Economise on talkfests like G20 that produce nothing but humiliation for Australians witnessing the domestic feather-duster pecking of your colleague Tony Abbott in a global forum. 4. Take a few multinational corporations to task for their blatant tax-dodging activities, bound to be a cool billion there. All or any of these suggestions, Mr Turnbull, will make you far fewer enemies than cuts to the ABC, which are seen for what they are, maliciously motivated and ultimately culturally and politically oppressive.

Exeloo drawbacks

Upon hearing of Council’s intentions regarding the toilet block behind the Byron Bay Surf Club, this resident of Byron Bay informed Council of the known negatives of Exeloos and expressed objection to the installation of

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

Letters Exeloos rather than renovating the toilets. Obviously, Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of infrastructure services Phil Holloway was/is not â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;listening to feedbackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Unisex toilet: euphemism for males toilet that females (and young children) are obliged to use when men (such as Phil Holloway) make the decision that female toilets will not be provided; a manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way of reminding females that it is still â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;a manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Females are â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hard-wiredâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to feel fear and unease when they smell the urine of an unknown male. It is a survival mechanism encoded into the female DNA. Exeloos are not suitable for women with small children. Rather than asking children to stand and wait outside the cubicle within the ladies toilet block while mum goes to the toilet, mum is obliged to take her children into the Exeloo cubicle and go to the toilet without privacy. Exeloos do not provide females with the often-used essential option of asking other females in a femalesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; toilet block: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;excuse me, the toilet paper in this cubicle has run out, can someone pass me some toilet paper?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Exeloos â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and all unisex toilets â&#x20AC;&#x201C; do not provide females with a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;safe

havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; option for escaping the unwanted attention of males. I have experienced an Exeloo automatic door opening and toilet bowl retraction (yes, whilst I was in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;midstreamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;). Fortunately, it was 6am â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I did not see anyone on the balconies of the residential tower that had a birdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eye view into the Exeloo. Exeloo doors automatically open after a time limit â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ready or not. The effective declaration that three Exeloo toilets will accommodate a higher number of usages than ten toilets and a urinal â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;owing to their self-cleaning abilityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that is, being unavailable for use while selfcleaning between every user, rather than being unavailable for use twice per day while cleaning is in process â&#x20AC;&#x201C; raises the question: is Phil Holloway â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;taking the pissâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;? Morgan (Ms) Byron Bay

Money in waiting I was recently informed by what is usually described as an â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;informed sourceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; that during the incumbency of the Barham council vast piles of developer money was poised at the border waiting for her to to move on. Well, she has and the white shoes are now well and truly in town with

the West Byron, Ewingsdale and the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Gold Coast on Jonsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; projects currently being the biggest and most blatant. The last council election saw injections of money supporting pro-development councillors who gained four of the nine positions and only narrowly missed out on securing the mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job. This money was presumably from the same undisclosed sources as Byron Unitedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $50,000 used to try to oust Barham at the previous election. With the defection of Cr Wanchap, control of Council has now passed to the developers and with the state government (and the ALP) historically beholden to cashed-up lobbies the gate is wide open for a major shift in the culture and lifestyle of Byron Shire. But hey, as the Music Man would say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;what this town needs is a bowling alleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Tom Tabart Bangalow

Jacqui and Rose Is Jacqui Lambie resigning from PUP akin to Rose Wanchap resigning from the Greens? Well, no. Clive Palmer formed PUP as a political party opposed to Tony Abbottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more extreme views, while Ms Lambieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

election campaign emphasised she shared that position and well before the election made it clear she would oppose pay cuts being imposed on Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s armed forces and health spending. It is Clive who is moving away from his partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s philosophy. Rose in her advertising said her knowledge of developers as a real estate agent made her afraid of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;developers who see our gorgeous area and its culture as just a fabulous commercial opportunity to cash in onâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, and stressed her loyalty to the Greens, Simon Richardson and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;environmental sustainabilityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Rose now leads the charge in bringing Ewingsdale Road traffic to Main Beach, voting against Mayor Richardson and providing developers with their â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;opportunityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The contrast is marked, but the impact is different. Rose has no mandate, Jacqui has a limited one. Even more curious, Rose never bothered to reply to the Byron Echoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legendary co-founder David Lovejoy in his editorial headed â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Please Resignâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; which concluded: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The extent of the damage [to Byron Bay] caused by Cr Wanchapâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defection is hard to overestimateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Steph wins sixth ASP title

Stephanie Gilmore of Tweed Heads won the 2014 ASP Women’s Championship after clinching her sixth ASP world title at the Target Maui Pro at Honalua Bay, Maui, Hawaii, last Thursday. Hawaiian surfer Carissa Moore beat Lennox Head’s favourite daughter Tyler Wright to win the Maui Pro

at Honalua Bay in Hawaii, which meant that Gilmore, who was eliminated in the quarterfinals, picked up her sixth ASP world title. Despite her earlier elimination, Gilmore had enough of a points lead to clinch the title. North coast surfing fans were on edge on the day

when news emerged that if Wright won the final, the pair would be forced into a head-to-head surf-off for the title. The Target Maui Pro, the final stop on the 2014 Samsung Galaxy ASP Women’s World Championship Tour, was completed in 2–3-metre waves.

North Coast rookies back to school Before they are let loose on the beautiful beaches of the state’s north, the lifeguard class of 2014 had to head back to school for a few days as they ramp up preparations for a busy summer season. Last week, a group of 46 lifeguards from across the north coast descended on Camp Drewe near Lennox Head for three days of theory and practical work, as they learnt just what it means to be a lifeguard. From Tuesday through to Thursday, the youngsters worked on their fitness, conducted mock search-andrescue operations, and were introduced to the policies and procedures that they will be need to become familiar with as they strive to keep our beaches safe. Lifeguard coordinator for northern NSW, Scott McCartney, said the group came together well, and that the camp was a highly successful experience for everyone involved.

‘The camp was all about giving everyone the skills and knowledge to be a good lifeguard as they prepare to start their summer patrol on some of the state’s busiest beaches,’ said McCartney. ‘Many of them come from a volunteer lifesaving patrol, so part of the camp was teaching them the differences between that and being a professional lifeguard. For instance, while they are used to being part of a patrol of up to eight members, as a lifeguard they may be patrolling a beach solo or with only one other person.’ While the camp involved plenty of hard work, there was time for some lighter moments, with time set aside in the evening for people to get to know each other. The statewide push to get young women interested in becoming lifeguards appears to be working with 20 new attendees at the camp, with hopes of attracting even more in the future.

Netball initiative rolls through parliament An exciting new Netball Australia initiative aimed to promote and showcase netball has drawn all-encompassing support from Australia’s halls of power in Canberra. Netball Australia has launched the inaugural Parliamentary Friends of Netball, which has attracted a healthy cross-section of members of parliament and senators from all states and territories. The entire Australian Diamonds squad joined Netball Australia CEO Kate Palmer and Netball World Cup SYDNEY 2015 chief executive Marne Fechner at Parliament House in Canberra today to show their support for the role netball plays in empowering women and girls, from the grass-roots to the elite. The Parliamentary Friends of Netball will be co-chaired by passionate netball supporters Karen Andrews MP and Senator the Hon Kate Lundy. Ms Andrews said it’s fantastic that all sides of politics have come together to show their support for Australia’s highest participation sport for women and girls. ‘I’m proud to co-chair the Parliamentary Friends of Netball group, which provides an opportunity for members of parliament and senators to learn more about the sport and engage directly with athletes, coaches and support staff ’, said Ms Andrews.

‘It is great to see so much interest from our federal parliamentarians. Many attendees register for the first event and I hope to build on this momentum in 2015, particularly in the lead up to the Netball World Cup in Sydney in August. ‘The Parliamentary Friends of Netball group recognises the valuable role netball plays in local communities. With the highest participation rate of any team sport among girls, netball provides a healthy outlet that can boost self-confidence and foster camaraderie and sportsmanship. ‘There is no doubt that the more we can encourage young girls into sport the better they will be for their participation and with 5,273 netball clubs around the country, netball is a natural pathway for many girls.’ Senator Lundy is also thrilled to be involved with a fantastic concept and encourages all her colleagues to get behind one of Australia’s top sporting teams. ‘I’ve been very fortunate to watch the Australian Diamonds play and I appreciate their dedication to being the best netballers in the world, their skills and athleticism and – most importantly – their humility’, Senator Lundy said. ‘They all love representing Australia and they are all wonderful role models for the

16 December 2, 2014 The Byron Shire Echo

Australian community. ‘Leading into next year’s Netball World Cup in Sydney, it’s fantastic that the Diamonds will be basing themselves in Canberra at Netball Australia’s Centre of Excellence to prepare to take on the world’s best. ‘With any luck the Australian Parliamentary Sports Club Netball Team – the mighty OWLS - might be able to get some tips from coach Lisa Alexander while they are in Canberra.’

netdaily.net.au

Australian Diamonds coach Lisa Alexander said every member of the current Diamonds squad started their netball careers on a court at a local club or association somewhere around Australia. She said the sport appreciates the help it receives from the respective federal senators and members in improving facilities to encourage young women to get active and physically involved in life. ‘I’m sure there are young girls playing in representa-

tive teams across Australia that one day dream of playing for the Diamonds’, Alexander said. ‘We thank every member of parliament for getting behind the Parliamentary Friends of Netball and their support of the Diamonds in the lead-up to next year’s Netball World Cup Sydney 2015’.

‘We’ve been very fortunate on the north coast in that we’ve always had a fairly balanced gender ratio, but our aim is to create a safe and welcoming environment for everyone,’ said McCartney. With summer just around the corner, and plenty of citydwellers heading for a coastal escape, the class of 2014 will soon be out in force on north coast beaches. ‘It’s the first lifeguard gig for everyone, and they’re really looking forward to the summer season. They’ve now got a really strong theory base, and practical knowledge, and I am confident that they’re going to have a positive impact on the beach this summer.’

EMERGENCY MEETING The Mullumbimby Giants Rugby League Club is looking for new members to add to their committee. There will be a meeting this Wednesday December 3 at the Mullumbimby Leagues Club at 6pm.

Health. After obtaining her fellowship from Stanford University USA, she went on to work in Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Denmark, to expand her knowledge for a more global perspective on health. Dr Aruna Viswanathan says, ‘When our mind, heart, body and soul are aligned, we experience true wellness. True Wellness is experienced when we can go from a state of dis-ease to complete ease. ‘Holistic Treatment to me is looking at the individual as a whole, on a mental, physical, spiritual and emotional level, every aspect of their life. By using an integrated treatment, with wisdom and complete compassion. I choose relevant treatment from every system of medicine or methods of healing, as well as looking at their way of life. Together we find a path to wellness”.

Dr Aruna is a sought after as a rare medical expert for treating patients with integrative options and offering new science beyond commercial mainstream medicine, where it can save a life. She offers a perfect amalgamation of advanced cutting-edge medicine and ancient Ayurveda, natural medicine and implements this approach as more of a sacred science. She has been closely associated with patients including the heads of nations, to spiritual masters in highly successful treatments of complicated conditions and cancers.

An apple a day... It's one of the most recognisable expressions around: ‘An apple a day keeps the doctor away.’ But besides the fact that it rhymes, does it really have any value? Could the common apple honestly help a person to maintain perfect health? The first printed mention of this saying can be found in the February 1866 issue of the publication Notes and Queries. The publication printed the proverb like this: ‘Eat an apple on going to bed, and you'll keep the doctor from earning his bread.’ Nearly 150 years later, variations of this adage are still quoted. It’s unlikely that the saying would have maintained such popularity if there weren’t some truth to it, right? With that in mind, let's consider some of the apple’s components and their effect on our health: Pectin – Pectin is a form of soluble fibre that lowers both blood pressure and glucose levels. It can also lower the levels of LDL, or ‘bad’ cholesterol in the body. Pectin, like other forms of fibre, helps maintain the health of the digestive system. Apples are an excellent source of pectin. Boron – A nutrient found in abundance in apples, boron supports strong bones and a healthy brain. Quercetin – A flavonoid, this nutrient shows promise for reducing the risk of various cancers, including cancers in the lungs and breast. It may also reduce free radical damage. Free radicals develop when atoms in the body's cells have unpaired electrons, which can lead to damage to different parts of the cell, including DNA. Vitamin C – Boosts immunity, which helps maintain overall health. Phytonutrients – Apples are rich in a variety of phytonutrients, including vitamins A and E and beta carotene. These compounds fight damage from free radicals and can have a profound affect on health, including reducing the risk of heart disease, diabetes and asthma. Apples also act as a toothbrush, cleaning teeth and killing bacteria in the mouth, which may reduce the risk of tooth decay. They’re also low in calorie density, one of the trademarks of a healthy food. With all of this information, it’s easy to see that, yes, an apple has its health benefits. – from howstuff works.com

A NeuroCranial Healing It’s frustrating when your brain isn’t working properly. Most people don’t realise that a major cause of brain fog, headaches, anxiety, chronic pain and even migraines comes from tension in the bones of the skull and that through simple cranial rebalancing many of these problems can be eased. It is amazing how great you can feel after cranial balancing. Dr David Ackerman, chiropractor, specialises in cranial healing, using two powerful cranial modalities: Craniosacral Balancing and NeuroCranial Restructuring (NCR). Craniosacral Balancing is a gentle, deeply healing modality that releases tension at the core of the body. NCR is shared as a 4-day treatment series and is a stronger cranial therapy and brings excellent results for many conditions as well as more energy and mental emotional balance. Private health rebates are available and Medicare rebates may apply. Be healthy, be natural, be yourself For more information or free DVD on NCR please contact David Ackerman on 0437 034 197.

Snorers and anyone with sleep problems need to get assessed for sleep apnoea Sleep apnoea occurs in nine per cent of women and 24 per cent of men. Most people do not know they have it or have daytime tiredness. Sleep apnoea doubles the risk for heart attack and stroke Sleep apnoea makes it two to seven times more likely to have an accident. Not everyone with sleep apnoea snores, and not all snorers have sleep apnoea. Most people who have sleep apnoea do not feel tired in the day, yet it is a major health risk. It is a cause for health problems like high blood pressure, acid reflux, memory problems, tiredness, depression, low testosterone, obesity, atrial fibrillation. It makes it more difficult to exercise, control weight and chronic diseases such as heart failure and diabetes. Please get yourself fully assessed. At Bangalow Medical Centre, Dr Graham Truswell does a full sleep assessment including home sleep study, endoscope examination to assess for blockages in the airway, and can lend out sleep machines and other devices for trial. For an appointment please call 6687 1079.

The course has been running five years consecutively, with many graduates now teaching locally, interstate and overseas. Next year starting in March, both the minimum 200-hour and 350-hour options will be offered. Throw yourself in! Bookings and details 0418 441 437, www.intouchyogabyronbay.com.

Healthy breakfast tips Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve probably heard people say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Eating a nutritious breakfast can help to reduce your risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) and diabetes. It also contributes to a healthier diet overall by adding important vitamins and minerals, such as thiamine, riboflavin, calcium, magnesium and iron. However, about 23 per cent of adults and 10 per cent of children skip breakfast and so miss out on this nutritional advantage. What is a nutritious breakfast? A nutritious breakfast includes a variety of foods, such as high-fibre wholegrain breads and cereals, vegetables, fruit, eggs, and reduced-, low- or no-fat milk and dairy foods.

The Dietary Guidelines for Australian Adults encourage us to eat a variety of bread and cereals, preferably wholegrain. Wholegrain foods contain all parts of the grain. Eating them can help to lower your risk of chronic diseases, such as CHD, obesity, type 2 diabetes and some cancers. They are also easy to prepare, nutritious and perfect for breakfast. Eating two serves of fruit and five serves of vegetables every day contributes to good health. Breakfast is a great time to include fruit and vegetables in your diet to help you reach this goal. Eggs are also an ideal breakfast food. A healthy balanced diet can include a serve

Same street; choices streets apart I was driving through laidback Lennox Head recently and thought I’d take a detour to a pristine stretch of sandy beach.

Matthew Michaelis

he thing with seascapes in the northern rivers area is that they all slightly differ from each other and have their own shape and beauty. So, I was intending to survey the beach frontage here. I admit I was a little lost at one point (I know, it seems impossible), not lost without a clue lost, but disoriented – not in familiar turf – lost. I had nowhere in particular to go in

Lennox, so I drove the length of the beach and wound up driving to the northern end of Pacific Parade. As I drove, I passed a trio of eateries, two sitting in breathtaking locations. These had front-row seats to the stunning lapping shores and in the case of the Bombora cafe lounge, access to the beach was just a road away. Locals all know the street I’m referring to and no doubt the foodies know the food

places I’m talking about. The newest acquisition being Bombora at Lennox, then the light, airy and well placed Foam restaurant. And cornering the market right on the joining of Pacific Parade and Byron Street is the Lennox Hotel. Now, at this point, I felt like Goldilocks and her three bears home invasion. Which one should I try: should I go the cafe style and put my feet up? Perhaps the slow and spoilt approach at the Foam refectory… Was it

too early for the hotel option? I got out at the Lennox Hotel and had a shooftee about, went upstairs – no-one about (understandably as it’s still only morning). It was Tuesday. I hadn’t planned any of this, but now I wanted to see them all, eat all their lovely chow and potter off home again before witching hour. A little further down the road was Foam, a blackboard in the doorway. I was hopeful, though the sign broke the news… Open from

Wednesday, so the only foam I was going to see was already starting at the corner of my mouth along with a building hunger… It was a fait accompli, Bombora at Lennox it was going to be. The following is a quick observation and a reinforcement of the multiplicity of dining possibilities existing on one street. Three eateries, one Parade and food that’s streets apart in pricing and choice.

Bombora – breaking good

Foam – water with your meal

What do you get when you cross a civil designer with an Indigenous hip-hop producer and didgeridoo player? A new ‘social experiment’ – culinary style. The Bombora, in its present manifestation, is casually inviting. Throw cushions punctuate lounge benches, comfy furnishings and a homey covered outdoor area, it’s a comeas-you-are affair. They serve coffee from 7am and brekkie from 7.30 until 2pm. It’s licensed, so plans are under way for a lounge bistro to lead onto a dinner menu. Tasting plates and the choice of a degustation style selection with wine matching is planned (but that’s down the track a bit): Currently, it’s an unfussy, straightforward menu, reason-

I was too curious to leave Foam alone, so we now forward to Wednesday lunch. On first impression, Foam and Bombora are similar in two respects: they’re both licensed and they both occupy houses that existed here before the village gentry supported more diningout. The ocean view here is a front row that’s indisputably some of the best ocean gawking you could find anywhere. Let’s not worry too much about the road between and the parked cars; I find that my exceptional brain helps to filter out any of the obviously ugly bits (reality can, like gravity, suck sometimes). Having spent my youth surrounded by beaches and the fresh sea spray blowing on my cheeks, it’s easy to understand why people flock to eat fine food along this seaside parade. In the short while since April this year that owners Chris Harrington and Marcus Corcoran have operated here, they’ve rated number 2 out of 23 on the Trip Advisor radar (if that’s any indication); let me be the judge I say… Immediate consideration was the order of the day here, an introduction and an invite to sit anywhere. When I sat,

ably priced for this street. Mark Makovec, the new owner, told me he was going along with his life working for himself and for the local councils until he put the brakes on, and went off to explore Bali. When he returned he hankered after something new and that’s

when the opportunity arose to buy into the street that has so far spawned some great food and establishments. An additional business partner came along, Lez Bateman, or Beckett as he’s known when performing, and the two are finding their way to what will be an interesting outcome-regardless of the final direction it takes. I wish them all the luck in the world – in food businesses you need every drop of luck you can get. Q

minutes passed and water was offered; flat, mineral or fizzed and so far the service seemed as accessible as the ocean. This type of customer interaction displays a hospitality pedigree and intelligence that’s all too often forgotten in restaurants. The menu had something for any taste and although this isn’t a review, the entreesized seafood laksa was my thing with a starter of freshly shucked oysters – I ordered only three. The ability to order one oyster or 12 is an evolution I’ve loved from the first time I was given this choice. Oysters are rich and exquisite things – I want the luxury of

their delicate flavours, not in volume. Three gorgeous examples of fresh oysters came with a perfect lemon wedge too… there is a god I thought. I think you get the idea: impressive, tight and intelligent eating you’ll find at Foam. I always say, don’t go to a nice eatery when you’re starving, savour what they’ve got on offer. I’ll certainly be back to Foam for a full review soon – stay tuned. Q

Lennox Hotel – a beef with a foodie I have to tell the story and confess to a terrible faux pas of mine (they seldom happen – ha!) I’d written a feature earlier this year on most of the hotel dining rooms that were of any consequence to their loyal locals, and quite by accident, I didn’t write-up the Lennox Hotel. I imagined the good folk of Lennox would have a beef with this foodie, so it’s kind of been a shadow on my delicate conscience since. So, here we are now cornering the market on Pacific Parade and Byron Street, the Lennox Hotel all polished and appealing and its Beef + Beach Restaurant upstairs, on the corner of my Parade story, all in all, it’s an easy recommend for its location alone. Not only does this hotel house a balcony restaurant, function rooms and cocktail lounge, but they all exist with uninterrupted breathtaking

views of the beachfront that I’ve been rabbiting on about. I’ve been the judge for the Australian Hotels Association Awards For Excellence for five, four- and three-star hotels and pubs in NSW. This hotel is a smart and curious mix of a functional clean and tasteful pub downstairs with all the bells, and a four-star welldressed and nicely furnished restaurant upstairs. This is

some of the hardest hospitality to pull off. It requires a tightly controlled and maintained system and order of service. Smart and sentient staff would be the order of the day I suspect, but alas, I was here too early to get a fix, so I came back that evening to see it in action and for a quick look at the meals. When I entered the eatery I was wandering and it took only minutes to be approached and

set at ease by floor staff. A few minutes more and Troy Lister appeared in front of me introducing himself. I quickly learnt that Troy was the guy behind all of this quality refit, food and service structure. Along with good management from trusted others, he’s the man behind the reshaping of this eatery. Being an opportunist as I am, I accepted his offer to join him and was given a tour of his passion, the menu. This is a voluminous menu with quality wines, meats, seafood and other inclusions on offer. We spoke at length about the origins and quite frankly the extent of in-house preparation that’s on hand. The service alone I would spruik as it goes with the firm pricing along with high-quality plating. I stress again that I wasn’t here to review, just observe. I will say though that I sampled

W I N E

T R A V E L

some fine meals, including a perfectly cooked porterhouse steak. Having spoken to the captain of this hospitality ship, I can trust that you’ll be given what you pay for here: quality, service and atmosphere. I’ll be back and rest assured you’ll get the good oil on the event.

RECIPE: The raw flavours of Amore’s raw Christmas mince pies Directions

Mini pie crust

Process the almonds in a food processor until they resemble a fine meal. Add the coconut, salt and spice and pulse a couple of times to mix. Add the sultanas and process until they have blended into the mix, adding a slightly sticky and moist texture. Add the coconut oil and pulse a couple of times until it has dispersed throughout. It should resemble a crumbly texture that binds together when scrunched. Be careful not to over-process the mixture so that it looks like mush.

2 cups almonds 1/2 cup desiccated coconut 1 tsp good salt 1 tsp cinnamon 1/4 cup sultanas 1/4 cup coconut oil

Mince pie filling

1 tsp vanilla paste (or scrape one vanilla pod) 1 lime, zested and juiced 1 cup finely chopped figs 1 cup finely chopped apricots 1/2 cup cranberries 1/2 cup sultanas 1/2 cup currants 1 tsp freshly ground nutmeg 1 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp freshly grated ginger goji berries/currants, to garnish

Rework the edges to create a flat rim and straight, even sides. Place in fridge to chill.

Gently press goji berries into the centre to decorate. Chill for 2 hours before serving. These pies will keep for 5–7 days in the fridge so they are great to make in advance.

Mix the vanilla paste with the lime juice, then place remaining ingredients in a food processor and whiz with lime juice for 10 seconds. Remove a third of the mixture and continue processing until all fruits are roughly chopped and combined into an almost paste-like texture. Hand mix in the remaining

MUSIC TO INSPIRE

ON A BENDER WITH KAIYOTE

At age sixteen he recorded his first record, and the following year he left South Carolina to study classical guitar at Idyllwild Arts Academy, an international boarding school east of Los Angeles. There, Trevor was introduced to yoga and certain spiritual practices found in India that greatly influenced his music and his life journey. During his senior year, Trevor signed a record deal with Geffen Records and his career as a musician formally began. Hall burst onto the world stage when his song Other Ways was featured on Shrek the Third Soundtrack back in 2009. Committed to making meaningful music with conscious lyrics, Trevor Hall is one of the featured performers at this year’s Uplift Festival. How did music first come into your life – did you have an instant resonance that this was your ‘voice’? Music first came into my life through my father. He is a musician. He had a massive record collection that I would explore as a young boy. Having that freedom at such an early stage was really a blessing and helped give my ears a good education. How do you think music can change people, or the world? Music, or sound, is the universal language. We see it everywhere. It is the glue. It brings everyone and everything together and that’s what we need if we want to make a change… we have to come together. We may all come from different paths and different walks of life with different culture, language, etc. That doesn’t matter. What matters is our intention. We have to come together in our intention. Music can help us do that. Why do you think connecting with music is so powerful? I believe everything and everyone came from sound. Everything around us and inside us is vibration. I believe our connection with music is so powerful because it helps bring us home to that original sound, our eternal home. What are the messages you try to convey with music? To be honest, I’m not exactly sure. I don’t like to think at all with music. I think too much in my daily life so with music I don’t want to think. I’m not speaking or conveying anything with the music. Rather, the music conveys messages to me. It helps me go inside, communicate with things I don’t see, and learn. Music is a mystical thing for me, but it’s also when I feel the simplest.

Featuring boundary-pushing Melbourne-based artists Hiatus Kaiyote, Remi, Kirkis and Silent Jay and Jace XL, Sonic Architects National Conference is set to be an all-out four-hour live sound clash!

LEARNING HARMONICA AT AGE ELEVEN, MUSIC QUICKLY BECAME TREVOR HALL’S MOST INTIMATE COMPANION, GUIDE AND CREATIVE OUTLET AS HE BEGAN TO WRITE HIS OWN SONGS AND PERFORM.

SONIC ARCHITECTS NATIONAL CONFERENCE IS TOURING THE NATION TAKING FOUR OF AUSTRALIA’S MOST EXCITING ACTS ON THE ROAD, TOGETHER!

What are the issues that you are most passionate about? I think I am most passionate about culture and how different cultures relate to spirit. Unfortunately, today a lot of these sacred cultures are slowly disappearing. Their stories, myths, and legends, which hold the connection to everything and everyone, are dying. The more we lose these things, the more we are lost. How did being in India and Nepal affect you spiritually? Did it change the type of music you made? India and Nepal are where I feel most at home. It’s where my heart is. The lessons and gifts they’ve given me are too many to tell. Because I love them so much, the themes and sounds naturally come through in the music. I don’t think about it too much. I just try to let it all come out through the heart. How has it been touring with Michael Franti? Michael is one of my uncles. He has been such an inspiration and friend to me over the years. Touring with him is always an adventure. If you want a calm, boring, basic tour, don’t tour with Michael Franti. Touring with Michael is always super action packed, surprising, and most of all, fun. He’s always got new and crazy ideas and is always a joy to be around. Why do you think there is a movement of musicians/creatives towards more universal ideas of love? I think as a people we’re all just tired. We’re tired of the way things are and tired of nobody speaking up. Music is such a powerful weapon in that respect to bring everyone together and send out a message. I’m just grateful to be a part of it. What should we expect for your show at Uplift? With my shows, my only prayer is to inspire. However that inspiration comes to the crowd and how they use it is up to them. I’m just grateful to be able to share the stories. He plays with Mark Eliyahu, Deva Premal & Miten, Hamsa, Sacred Earth, Lua Lesson, Kirk Nugent, and Carlos Andres Gomez at Uplift Festival in Byron Bay, 11–14 December at the Byron Sport and Rec Centre. GO TO UPLIFTFESTIVAL.COM FOR PROGRAM AND TICKET INFORMATION.

This melange of artists comes together from four disparate schools of sound but all share the same ideology of innovation. Their songs were built in the underground, with no blueprints, designed with intuition and inspiring a new breed of Australian artist.

Second albums always place pressure on artists who’ve enjoyed success with the first.

‘I was definitely super-aware of that concept, and we walked right into that! It has been very difficult, and a lot of things have changed in the band’s process.

It’s not that we don’t care; we just draw from anything that we like. There’s no Seen as a sonic Voltron between four artists (Nai need to jump on whatever is current or right now Palm, Simon Mavin, Paul Bender, Perrin Moss) or to limit your creativity. I don’t want to limit over the past 12 months Hiatus Kaiyote have toured the world relentlessly – selling out shows a track to being a number of minutes, or worry if it’s too complicated or weird. I think all those across North America, Europe and Africa – since re-releasing their self-produced Tawk Tomahawk things are a little bit offensive to the people who are going to buy your music and listen to it.

Paul Bender had a quick chat with The Echo. Having spent months in the studio on their upcoming album, Bender is in the creative flow!

We are influenced by a lot of things, but as a band we tend to think in a compositional way and we like orchestral or magical things, or things ‘When we started the record we had a lot that we that take you in a different direction. The story wanted to record, things that didn’t make the first isn’t just within the lyrics, it is the whole story. one, or newer or things we’ve rarely played live, We think about music on a lot of different levels and things getting a new lease in life, and we had and I guess that’s where we are coming from, and a strong idea of what we wanted to record.

WIN BLUETOOTH SPEAKERS

ALL YOU NEED IS SOJA

FOR YOUR CHRISTMAS STOCKING! As any music lover will attest, the key to enjoying great music is hearing it through speakers capable of doing it justice. The good people at Palings Lifestyle in Lismore know this only too well and they’ve just launched their impressive new Soundbars capable of punching out some seriously good sound. So dear reader, what’s in it for you? Well we know that if you read Seven every week that you love your music, and the best way to love your music is to really HEAR your music! Leading up to Xmas, we have mini-bluetooth speakers valued at $70 to give away to a lucky reader. All you have to do is answer this general knowledge local music lover’s trivia question: What is the name of the Byron band from Ewingsdale who hit the big time on the world hardcore circuit?

SOJA HAS EMERGED AS A

SUPERSTAR ACT WITHIN THE PROLIFERATING AMERICAN REGGAE SCENE. – BILLBOARD In time for Bluesfest, SOJA will be releasing their fifth studio album featuring the single I Believe, co-written by and featuring Michael Franti. Over the course of the past few years, the band has sold more than 200,000 albums, including their critically acclaimed 2012 album, Strength To Survive (ATO Records), which made an impassioned call for unity and change with universally relatable songs about faith, hope and love. Non-stop touring, headlining and selling out large theatres in more than 20 countries around the world, sharing stages with everyone from Dave Matthews Band to Damian ‘Jr Gong’ Marley, has helped generate more than 60 million YouTube views, three million Facebook fans, and an almost Grateful Dead-like international fanbase that grows with each tour, with caravans of diehards following them from city to city. Most impressive of all, SOJA has accomplished all this on their own. Most recently SOJA have joined Michael Franti on the Soulshine tour – a gathering of like-minded musicians who share a belief in love, peace and conscious lyrics. SOJA frontman Jacob Hemphill has embraced the experience head on. ‘It’s really cool and it was my first chance ever doing yoga – it was nuts. Mike gets up in the morning and he does his exercise, and he plays for an hour or two while hundreds or thousands do yoga with him and some famous yoga teacher, and then they do band yoga!’

FOR PROGRAM AND TICKETING INFORMATION GO TO BLUESFEST.COM.AU. The Soulshine tour will be touching down at Bluesfest; it’s something Hemphill is proud of.

‘We can’t figure out how to get together; we ask questions such as “how do I change?”

‘It’s great being part of Soulshine – being with so many like-minded musicians. We planted trees to carbon offset the two tour buses through Canada; we had no plastic on the tour. It was cool being around musicians who gave a shit, not those that make all their shirts in China!’ ‘The population record labels sell to don’t give a shit; the population that I sell to and they do give a shit.You can’t lie to a bunch of thinkers!’ Being conscious means having to take a profit cut. ‘T-shirts are a big deal,’ says Hemphill. ‘If they are selling $100k worth of t-shirts a year and they cost you $3, you make $70k but if the T-shirts cost you $7 you are volunteering to cut your pay cheque in half. When you are committed to carbon offset, then you have to plant trees and they are not cheap. But it does pay off because I have so many people who follow what I do, and it spreads to 400,000 other people; they say that’s how they are living, and maybe they go plant trees…’ Hemphill believes the human race has fallen out of step with its true and better nature.

‘We have all been lied to. Society used to teach us to protect our elders and our young. We should make music and enjoy the seasons changing around us.

When I was a kid I heard all you need is love; that sounded childish to me and I wanted to be what I wanted to be. I didn’t get it then; now I realise those words are so true. You have to be in love with being here, you have to love the breath you are taking, the steps you are taking; you have to love all the people, the smartest, the dumbest, and when you love all of them it rubs off on all around you. When you are horrible, you just make everyone awful; no-one teaches that in school!’ ‘If you want to know what a society values most look at the tallest buildings – they used to be churches, now they are towers built for commerce. Money is more important than everything in our world. It’s not just ruining it for us; we are ruining the planet for the future. All the real things that will make you feel something in life are still risks and chances. Money doesn’t solidify anything real in your life. It seems unreal that we are trading things for something so unstable.’ A recent trip to Denmark showed Hemphill that there are governments and people capable of doing things better. ‘Those people have all the money in the world but they have one car… they like to drive together. I guess that is why people look so happy there. They believe in society and they believe in helping a guy find his place in the world. That is the way we are supposed to live. ‘My dad always told me not to worry who is about you or above you; if you look up you will be envious, if you look down you will be vain. Look around and be the change you want to be and celebrate it.’ The inspiration of SOJA hits Bluesfest Easter 2015 as part of the Soulshine tour.

TAURUS: December’s stars are marvellous for partner intimacy F and shared financial ventures, but carry a caution against overindulgence, especially during midweek more-please Taurus moon. Take an extra moment to check whether or not there’s an internal no to offers likely to incur energy drain, extra kilos or uncomfortable debt.

Sun, Venus and Mercury in gregarious Sagittarius enjoy sharing feelings and ideas – which, when late week Mars hits Aquarius, can turn radical…

This week’s people are generous and friendly one G GEMINI: minute, impatient, abrasive (and vividly verbal) the next. During clashes owing to festive stress and yuletide strain allow everyone, including yourself, the space and grace to retreat and cool down. Plus the freedom they need, because they’re going to take it anyway.

CANCER: December’s the month of inspired spruiking, lively H networking, tickled funnybones, escalated stress levels and erratic behaviour: long on social syncopation, less on soul nourishment. So it’s important to be organised and systematic, to manage time, energy and resources wisely. And keep kneejerk reactions in check during early-week’s fiery moon.

AKMAL NYE As an Arabic Australian, Akmal looks at cultural stereotypes and forges ahead by forcing us to examine our own cultural identities. He’s appeared on virtually every comedy show on the telly since 2005, and continues to fill houses – and hearts – around the country!

The latest crop of standup comedy virgins have just finished up their ‘how to be a standup comic in six weeks’ program. It’s not as hard as it looks, and is firmly rooted in the theory ‘Take any disaster and just add laughter’. As usual it’s been a diverse group who are only too willing to share the love and transform their daily struggles into standup.

TAKING THE HARLEY TO FALLS

Angry people should… try some transcendental meditation or SHUT THE F@#K UP! YOU F@#KIN ANGRY MOTHER Harley Breen has blown away audiences from the sugarcane fringes of Queensland to F@#CkERS! the sweaty stages of the Edinburgh Fringe. The perfect massage… ‘Know what I Regularly headlining around Australia, mean? Know what I mean? Nudge, nudge. Harley has won over a legion of fans with his Wink, wink. Say no more’. If you don’t get this accessible and relatable comedy. reference you are dead to me. Consistently unpredictable, Breen’s sets seamlessly move from side-splitting material about the foibles of being a newage dad to dodgy tales of his beloved old Kingswood; all without missing a beat. A true professional, Breen always leaves the crowd wanting more. Harley performed his seventh solo show Some Kind of Something at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival this year to sell-out crowds. Harley is also one of a select handful of comics chosen to tour around Australia as part of the Melbourne Comedy Festival Roadshow. Harley got down with Seven with this revealing psychological quiz; the only thing we can work out is that he’s fricking funny. As far as I am concerned beards are… The best. When I see men without beards or smaller beards than mine I think, ‘you doing man wrong’. When I see a man with a bigger beard – well, I just make out with them.

My dream holiday would involve… My apartment. Door locked. Phone off. Endless episodes of Grand Designs and a massive bag of herbs (wink, wink; nudge, nudge).

Over the month-and-a-half of their comedydiscovery process they have revealed their deepest darkest secrets. What do they think about relationships? How do they feel about politics? What’s their view on god? Mandy Nolan encourages participants to have a good hard look at themselves in the funniest way possible. ‘Comedy comes from serious situations,’ Nolan says. ‘The best comedy is when people manage to talk about things that may have been a struggle for them. It’s always a surprise onstage when people laugh, and it’s gratifying to learn that you are not alone!’ The ten new standups are nervously practising their routines, getting ready for popping their comedy cherry at the Byron Bay Services Club on Monday at 8pm. Bookings are essential and can be made on 6619 0529. Tix are just $10/15.

THAT WOULD BE SWELL Tim’s latest Australian Surf Movie Festival film featuring Swell Chasers is full of astonishing surfing, majestically beautiful big waves, and no shortage of really thrilling and frightening moments. Tony Abbott should… Oh look, I don’t know. He’s a fuckin’ muppet. With maybe the exception of the egomaniac narcissistic Kevin Rudd, the worst PM this country has ever seen. He is destructive and horrid. His cabinet is full of complete arseholes, but we are not measured by the men who lead us, rather by our own actions. Rise up. This time too will pass. At Falls Festival I am going to… do a gig, drink the rider, go to the next one… (smoke a joint). Harley Breen is one of the headline comics at Falls Festival Byron 30 December–3 Jan.

If I were a dog I’d be… an Irish wolfhound. They rule. They’re massive and they have beards. Brilliant! If I weren’t a comedian I would be… dead

NYE Tickets are still available for locals. Go to http://byron.fallsfestival.com/locals.

When I was a kid I thought the world… was made in 6,000 years. Jesus Christ! I worry about… as little as possible. What I love most about women is the way… that you can’t generalise about women. When I’m driving I have a tendency to… speed. I just lost my licence – thanks for bringing it up. When they say leave them wanting more they mean… leave work early. The best gig of my life involves… a focused audience and an open bar.

God is… in my humble, ignorant, uneducated opinion, a complete load of shit. The worst gig of my life involves… the opposite. My mum always tells me to… she mostly just tells me she loves me. She’s an excellent human. Love you. Mum. Making lots of money is… boring and futile.

The world would be a better place if… we could go back in time and change a lot of shit! Honestly, we’ve fucked it. Really. It’s fucked. Anyway… beer… weeeeeeeeeeee.

NIGHTCRAWLER

YOU’RE NOT YOU

The great John Ford once advised that there was only one essential rule to observe when shooting a movie – just keep the camera focused on the actors’ eyes. Never was that edict put to better practice than in Dan Gilroy’s dark and disturbing study of TV journalism and the macabre dance of death that it plays with its willing audience.

It wasn’t that long ago that everybody was posting on Facebook vids of themselves being dowsed by a bucket of iced water. It was to raise money for research into amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), an incurable degenerative disease.

The eyes belong to Louis Bloom (Jake Gyllenhaal), and they are at once sociopathic and needy, scheming and confiding – as the creepiest character that we’ve encountered on the screen all year, Gyllenhaal delivers an extraordinary performance. We first meet Bloom stealing scrap metal from an industrial site. He’s a loner, an opportunist with no employable skills other than a resilient nature. When he encounters a ‘stringer’ capturing on tape the aftermath of a car accident, Bloom decides that he might fit into the niche of freelance crime coverage. His detached and obsessive personality are perfectly suited to the task and, in Nina Romino (Rene Russo), the jaded news director at a low-rating Los Angeles television network, he finds a similarly results-driven associate.

THE STORY OF JAPANESE ANIMATION

The eyes also belong to us, the demanding consumers of the 24/7 news cycle. As voyeurs of the sensational, we feign shock/horror at graphic depictions of atrocities and their aftermath, but the ratings tell another story and Gilroy’s movie exposes a discomfiting truth by laying bare the callous negotiations and values that the commodification of the nightly news has made commonplace (there were more fatalities at one scene than another, but ‘they were only Mexicans’).

Co-founders of renowned Japanese animation house Studio Ghibli, Hayao Miyzakai and Isao Takahata, are two of the most celebrated filmmakers of all time. As creators of some of the most beloved and award-winning animated features the world has known, their legacy is one of unrivalled imagination and unsurpassed excellence. The Tale Of Studio Ghibli Showcase screens for one week only from Thursday 4 December, at Palace Byron Bay Cinema. Tickets and session times at www.palacecinemas.com.au.

As a sort of Norman Bates with a video camera, Bloom excels at his task. He eliminates his opposition by whatever means necessary and, as an ambitious go-getter, employs an off-sider. Bloom eventually moves beyond being a mere ‘ambulance chaser’ to becoming an active participant in the game. It’s chilling, it’s confronting, but before we lament too loudly the way in which society is desensitised by the media, we must first admit that we are all complicit in it.

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

In George C Wolfe’s heart-wrenching and intelligent movie, Kate (Hilary Swank) has the first intimation that she is suffering from the condition on the night of her thirty-fifth birthday. A concert pianist, her hands let her down as she is playing a favourite piece by Chopin. The story then jumps ahead some eighteen months. Kate’s symptoms have worsened and, against the wishes of her drippy husband and snooty parents, she is about to employ Bec (Emmy Rossum), an uninhibited and unqualified New York party girl, as her aide. It requires a bit of a leap of faith to believe this opening scenario, but once past it the relationship that grows between Kate and Bec is entirely convincing. It is a quiet film, free of the hubble and bubble of big-budget mainstream dross, but its tender grip intensifies as the inevitable approaches. In a challenging role that allows for neither glamour nor indulgence, Swank is as good as I have ever seen her. The surprise packet, however, is Rossum, whose raw energy and uncanny ability to empathise with her character and draw from Bec such a willingness, despite her natural tendencies, to give herself over entirely to the care of Kate is profoundly moving. In the end it is her story, for the point that Wolfe is making is that it is often those left behind after loss who have made the most radical journey. Love, especially when it sidles into one’s life unannounced and unexpected, can devastate as easily as it can elevate. Bec reminds us that the heart will not be conquered by the decrees of others. Poignant and unafraid to confront grief without the trappings of maudlin sentiment, the girls’ devotion to each other is its own reward. Don’t miss it.

North Coast news daily:

Residents take ‘magical mystery tour’ of Byron’s waterways The Belongil Catchment sub-group of Byron Residents’ Group is going on walkabout throughout the catchment to get a picture of the Byron water infrastructure in town and country. They are investigating a forgotten 2004 plan to handle effluent from the sewage treatment plant in regenerated West Byron wetlands. Over the past few days more than 20 people have voluntarily been walking the routes of the town’s drains and creeks that crisscross the local landscape. ‘Sick of the polluted state of Byron Bay’s drains and creeks, residents are taking it into their own hands to do something about it,’ says Mary Gardner, the group’s coordinator. The BRG Belongil Catchment group was formed at a recent meeting of more than 200 people organised by the Byron Residents’ Group to discuss better planning initiatives for the town.

Free study groups

The team will be asking people take photos to create a visual map of the catchment. ‘Water and the management of it, is such a fundamental aspect to how this town exists,’ Mary says. ‘We are on low-lying land and how water moves through it is so important, especially into the future as more extreme weather events such as storm surges will have a big impact on Belongil estuary. ‘Should we be planning megadevelopment ahead of such important infrastructure works?’ asks Mary. ‘We really need to consider what state the catchment is in before we do any kind of development in Byron. ‘Completing this water treatment infrastructure is long overdue,’ Mary says. Anyone who has a bit of spare time and would like to help out can contact Mary Gardner on 0423 742 792 or mgardner@mgardner.info. Q Mary Gardner’s article, page 14

sandmining days to stormwater outlets at the beach to drains that run through from wherever they live. ‘A lot of people would not be aware that the sewage treatment plant was the first part in a project that sought to manage the movement of water through Byron,’ she says. ‘The remaining two stages were never completed.’ The group plans to update the 2004 plan and bring the first results to the next Byron Shire Council meeting in December. They also plan to create a poster and display for residents and visitors to view over the holidays. ‘The plan connects Byron town and Sunrise to treat stormwater and ease flooding using the wetlands,’ Mary says. She adds that wetlands would also be part of a haven for koalas and other wildlife. ‘All of this work was to be finished before any further development at West Byron. It still remains incomplete.’

Australia Day is coming up, and Byron Shire will cling to the old customs rather than going rogue. The unification of celebrations for an Australia Day on January 26 happened in 1946; before that it was a bit of a mish-mash. Celebrating as it does the arrival of the British fleet in 1788 to colonise the joint, it is less than a good match with Indigenous people’s wishes. Alternative suggestions include Federation Day, but that was on January 1 so everyone would be hungover from NYE, or May 9, the date of the opening of the first federal parliament in 1901. It might be more historically significant to celebrate the Songlines, an extraordinary culmination of survival skills, art, cosmology and navigation. According to ABC Science: ‘The songlines covered thousands of kilometres, with one example going from Heavitree Gap near Alice Springs in central Australia, all the way across to Byron Bay on the New South Wales east coast connecting the Arrenrte people to the Euralayi people.’ See more at http:// bit.ly/songabc.

Education away from a binge-mentality culture might be helpful, too, and a re-examination of the
