Long-term holiday-van owners evicted from Bruns holiday parks by state govt The push is officially on to attracted more tourists to Brunswick Heads after an eviction notice was served on thirty-three long-term holidaymakers from the three Brunswick Heads holiday parks: Massey Greene, The Terrace and Ferry Reserve. According to plans by the state-run NSW Crown Holiday Parks Trust (NCHPT) which manages the parks, all long-term, so-called ‘storage’ vans are to make way for new infrastructure and upgraded sites. Predictably it hasn’t gone down well for those with holiday vans, some of whom have been coming to the area to holiday for nearly 30 years. They say NCHPT is in breach of Byron Shire Council licence conditions and that, in any case, the council’s licences for at least two of the parks have lapsed. Van owner Kelly McKelvey, who has a van at Massey Greene, has lodged a complaint with Fair Trading on behalf of the 11 owners who have been evicted from that park. In reply, NCHPT CEO Steve Edmonds told The Echo

that the evictions were lawful and, ‘The extra tourists we can attract to these sites will attract more dollars into the local economy.’ ‘Holiday van occupancy is well below tourist sites and the reduction in holiday vans will open up more sites for year-round tourist use.’

The NSW National Party, along with their colleagues the Liberals, have drastically reduced their $50m preelection pledge to fund rail trail pilot projects in regional NSW. The Echo reported in early January the NSW government announced sections of the disused Casino to Murwillumbah and Rosewood to Tumbarumba rail corridors were open to expressions of interest (EOI) from councils or business and community groups in an effort to ‘boost tourism’. But now that’s been largely shelved in favour of regional airports. A Regional Tourism Infrastructure Fund (RTIF) of $110m was announced in the last budget, which included $50m for rail trails. But a spokesperson from John Barilaro’s office confirmed last week that instead, $95 million of the RTIF will go to 24 shortlisted regional airports. Of what’s left, $5 million will go towards Tumbarumba Shire Council’s rail trail proposal, they said. ‘It would be premature to introduce legislation prior to this pilot project having developed to the stage where it is possible to determine the viability of the rail trail. ‘In terms of project timing, we are not putting a timeline around the pilot program as we want to ensure we get the process right and also that there is clear community support. ‘This project is likely to act as a model for consideration of future rail trail development in NSW so

make a difference

it is important to address all the issues without rushing the process – and that includes the legislative changes required.’ Given the broken promise, The Echo asked Mr Barilaro’s office if the minister was concerned about his reputation and of potential community backlash, to which there was no reply.

Backlash unlikley And no backlash appears likely from those who submitted expressions of interest; The Northern Rivers Rail Trail (NRRT) organisation says it welcomes the announcement ‘to significantly increase infrastructure funding in NSW through the selection of 25 regional projects, including the development of a pilot rail trail project in southern NSW.’ President Pat Grier said NRRT are ‘very pleased with the decision’, and ‘the selection of the much shorter Tumbarumba to Rosewood proposal was a positive step in introducing rail trails into NSW.’ Another group hoping to establish a tourist-based activity between the Bangalow and Byron Bay railway line is Rail Explorers. Their railbike plans were to attach a pedalpowered cart to the the rail lines. Alex Catchpoole from Rail Explorers told The Echo, ‘While this is disappointing, Rail Explorers were not expecting a green light anytime soon, so were somewhat prepared for the news. I am very disappointed that the funds which were locked continued on page 3

It appears not a lot of locals or visitors have sung the praises of Council’s new self-cleaning toilets which replaced cubicles in Apex and Railway parks. Echonetdaily reported in December last year that the new Byron Bay Exeloo toilets would be low maintenance, self cleaning, relocatable and were vandal resistant. But reports soon began to emerge of long queues and malfunctions. The Echo asked Council staff if they were concerned that these new toilets were not adequate given the teething problems. Byron Shire Council’s open spaces manager, Michael Matthews, confirmed that there had been teething problems with the new toilets. He says the problems have ranged from toilet paper dispensing, unplanned door opening and users clogging the pipes with nappies. ‘As the amenities are un-

der warranty, we have worked through the issues with the manufacturer.

High use ‘This has included changing how paper is dispensed, installing new movement detection sensors and the replacement of internal touch sensitive buttons with traditional push buttons.’ Mr Matthews said the new toilets at Apex Park are very

popular and the number of uses per month is at ‘around 23,000, which is very high.’ There have been about six reported incidents of unplanned door openings, he says, which have been linked to high usage times and user error. ‘To help take some of the pressure off the beachfront toilets, we’ve installed a new men’s urinal block at the surf club and this has significantly

improved turnover at the busy location. ‘Initial data indicates a greater than 20 per cent reduction in usage at Apex Park Exeloo since the urinal was installed. The challenge we face at Railway Park is when a bus arrives and 40-plus people offload and want to use the toilet. In this instance, there will most likely always be a need to wait.’ Mr Matthews made the observation that the encouraging aspect of the new toilets is the robustness of the units against vandalism and improved cleanliness of the facilities. ‘Unclean amenities that were constantly vandalised was previously a common complaint,’ he said. ‘The public amenity sites are part of the Byron Bay Town Planning Masterplan and will feature new facilities. When these are completed, we can move toilet blocks to another key site,’ Mr Matthews said.

Local federal MP Justine Elliot (Labor) has told The Echo that while she believes there are many significant benefits for Australia from international free trade agreements (FTAs), she is concerned with some provisions within them, such as the Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) provisions. She says ‘Labor opposes ISDS provisions in trade agreements,’ which, for example, could allow a multinational corporation to sue governments over cancelled CSG licences. ‘Trade agreements are vitally important in contrib-

mobility must enhance, not constrain, job opportunities for Australians. ‘Twelve countries, which account for approximately 40 per cent of global trade, from around the Asia-Pacific region are participating in the TPP trade negotiations. ‘The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) has the capacity to provide greater market access for our goods and services. However Ms Elliot says that the TPP must not ‘affect our ability to deliver public services; undermine labour and environmental standards; result in higher prices for medicines or undermine the PBS; radically alter the existing legal balance between creators and consumers of intellectual property or compromise our sovereignty by committing to foreign in-

vestor protection known as Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) provisions’. Labor has called on the Abbott government to release the text of the TPP before it is signed, she says, and Labor has also supported calls for the Productivity Commission to undertake a comprehensive socio-economic costbenefit inquiry into the impact of the TPP on Australia. According to the Pirate Party, another trade agreement, The Trade in Services Agreement (TISA), is likely to impose anti-privacy and anti-freedom of speech obligations upon Australia. They say a draft leaked by WikiLeaks prevents ‘countries from passing domestic legislation to protect the private information of their citizens from sharing and analysis.’

Committed to a clean future Photo & story Hans Lovejoy

While Australian governments are undermining the renewable-energy sector, there’s positive action from local not-for-profit groups and Byron Shire Council. And to facilitate a unified plan of reducing fossil-fuel emissions, not-for-profit research and education organisation Beyond Zero Emissions (BZE) held a workshop with mayor Simon Richardson at the Byron Regional Sport and Cultural Complex on Sunday. BZE CEO, Dr Stephen Bygrave, told The Echo the forum was aimed at creating plans which could reduce emissions across five sectors of the economy: energy, buildings, land use, transport and waste. ‘We are bringing Council and all the community groups that are already doing the work under one umbrella, and are setting out a strategy on how we can achieve zero emissions.’ He says Council’s intention to take Byron Shire to a zero-emissions economy over the next ten years creates an opportunity to lead, ‘and then others will follow.’ The group of around 50 also discussed ways of encouraging high-end energy users to become sustainable. They include developers

vying for new housing estates, energy providers and Rous Water, the local utility that provides north coast councils with water.

Micro-grids Emerging micro-grid technology was also explained, whereby small networks of houses/businesses that are producing excessive solar power can feed into the grid to another network which may be experiencing extended cloudy weather conditions. Siemens representative Warner Priest was also at the meeting, and told The Echo his company has a keen interest in micro-grid technology. The next step, Dr Bygrave says, is to establish working groups for the five sectors. ‘We don’t want it to be overly bureaucratic – we want

to provide enough structure and guidance so the community groups can get on with what they do best.’ ‘We will develop a common action plan template for each group, and a baseline of emissions will be established from each group, from each sector.

Funding ops ‘After that, we’ll identity actions with emission reductions associated with each of those actions.’ Mayor Richardson was enthused by the chance of the five sectors becoming unified, which could lead to funding opportunities. ‘The emissions reduction fund, while aimed at the big players, could be applied for if all sectors of the community were behind it. There’s $1.5 billion in funding available.’

BZE are a not-for-profit research and education organisation that produces and implements zero-emissions economic policy. An energy transition blueprint to decarbonise the Australian economy – within a decade – is available on their website. It has the support of Dr Karl Kruszelnicki, among others. Other published studies by BZE include implementing high-speed rail, building and land-use plans and a guide to transform homes into ‘renewable-energy powerhouses’. BZE say their goal is to ‘transform Australia from a 19th century fossil fuelbased, emissions-intensive economy to a 21st-century renewable-energy-powered clean-tech economy.’ See www.bze.org.au or www.energyfreedom.com.au for more.

Byron Shire Council is part of a unique experiment that will see power generated at its sports and cultural complex hitch a ride on the grid to be consumed at the sewerage treatment plant (STP) down the road. The shire is just one of a handful of Australian councils to have been chosen for a pilot project in what is known as ‘virtual net metering’. Currently the council sells most of the power it generates from the roof of the Cavanbah Sports Centre back to the grid at wholesale rates, while paying retail prices for a similar amount of energy at its STP

just a couple of kilometres down the road. Under the pilot program, the council will be able to trade off the two amounts, provided they are generated and consumed simultaneously, and pay just for the use of the grid.

Research project It’s part of a one-year research project announced this week by the Institute for Sustainable Futures, based at UTS, which aims to ‘improve the economics of local energy generation for Australian consumers’. The project is being funded by a $250,000 grant from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) to

to ‘support the development of new locally based renewable-energy projects through investigating more flexible tariffs and charges’. ARENA CEO Ivor Frischknecht said the rules of the national energy market were written at a time when ‘centralised generation was the norm and local generation was the exception’. ‘Such rule changes could potentially level the playing field for renewable energy and acknowledge the contribution renewables can make to relieving local network strains,’ he added. ‘This may encourage more councils, community organisations and businesses to invest in renewable energy.

The 2015-16 state budget was released yesterday (Tuesday) and with it, the Greens quickly released their assessment. Newly anointed Greens member for Ballina, Tamara Smith, confirmed with The Echo that $88m Byron Hospital funding had been allocated, as well as $40m for a new school in Ballina. ‘It’s a good budget for the region in terms of health and education,’ she said.

And roads in the shire could be improved, with a $993,000 grant available to Byron Council under a capital works project. ‘There’s also $250,000 for planning an inner-town bypass, which I understand is not related to the current Butler Street bypass.’ But the message wasn’t so upbeat from other MPs. Former mayor and Greens upper house MLC Jan Barham said the budget did not deliver

the much-needed investment in support for vulnerable families to protect children and prevent child removal.

DV funding low Meanwhile Greens MP, Dr Mehreen Faruqi MLC, says the government needs to increase funding to end domestic violence, prioritise prevention initiatives and roll back its failed ‘Going Home, Staying Home’ program, that

has reduced services for vulnerable women. Greens NSW MP John Kaye said, ‘The Baird government is relying on the continuation of an unaffordable housing sector for a third of the state’s tax revenue.’ ‘Prisons, motorways and the for-profit skills industry are the big winners at the expense of public sector workers, disadvantaged communities and the state’s future.’

Car ‘ripped in half’ in crash A two-vehicle accident closed off Shara Boulevard, one of the main avenues into and out of Ocean Shores, on Thursday afternoon with the Life Saver Rescue Helicopter landing on the road. The accident involved a four-wheel drive vehicle and ‘a fairly hotted-up looking sedan’, according to Echo photographer Jeff Dawson, who was at the scene. ‘The sedan looked like it had been ripped in half,’ he added.

Ultralight crash A male pilot of an ultralight aircraft has reportedly died after crashing in Tyagarah on Tuesday morning. A witness alerted police at about 8am and emergency services responded shortly after. The man is yet to be formally identified, but police believe he was in his 50s and from the Gold Coast.

Beware of conmen Northern rivers residents are being urged to be on the lookout for dodgy conmen offering cheap bitumen and other trade-related work. There have been reports of travelling ‘tradesmen’ approaching residents, often elderly, offering work using materials left over from a highway job. They also may offer to do such things as line marking, roof restoration, painting

and other general household trades such as concreting. Fair Trading commissioner Rod Stowe said last week that the men ‘often target the frail and the elderly and can become quite intimidating and threatening when challenged.’ The Echo received a report recently of an offer for cheap bitumen work to a homeowner in Myocum. Mr Stowe says, ‘People offering or carrying out home

building work valued at more than $5,000 (labour and materials) on residential properties in NSW are required to be licensed.’ ‘Consumers should ask to sight a licence, which is similar to a credit card with details of the trader’s name and licence category,’ Mr Stowe said. Licences can also be checked online at www. fairtrading.nsw.gov.au or call 13 32 20.

Meningococcal case reported A Grafton child was identified with meningococcal disease last week by the Northern NSW Local Health District, which has prompted a reminder of the disease from Meningococcal Australia. The support/lobby group says, ‘The disease is spread by prolonged close contact such as coughing, sneezing and kissing. Simple steps such as washing hands regularly and

covering your mouth and nose when sneezing or coughing can all help stop the spread of the disease; however, vaccination provides the best protection against the major strains.’ They say symptoms can vary considerably and may include headache, fever, fatigue or drowsiness, a stiff or painful neck, sensitivity to light and vomiting or shivering, cold hands and feet, mus-

cle or joint pain, or a change in skin colour. ‘The late-stage rash may also develop, and can start off as a spot, blister or pinpricks and later turn into purple bruise-like blotches. Meningococcal disease, while rare, is a sudden and severe disease that can lead to death in less than 24 hours.’ For more visit www. meningococcal.org.au.

Locally owned surfshop Afends named Breakthrough Brand Congratulations to Byron surf brand Afends, who won the Breakthrough Brand of the year at the Surf and Boardsports Industry Association (SBIA) awards, held in Tweed Heads recently. Afends’ co-owner Jonathan Salfield told The Echo the award is given to the brand that all the Australian surf stores think will become the next big player in the surf industry. ‘We beat a big American surf brand called Vissla which was a big achievement for us.’ Salfield says the company is Byron Bay born-and-bred, and was started by Declan Wise and himself in 2006. ‘We both have been living in Byron Bay all our lives, and over the last few years have seen a lot of other brands

The Murwillumbah community has continued to pressure politicians and bureaucrats after the recent closure of the birthing unit in the town’s hospital. The Northern NSW Local Health District, which manages hospitals in northern NSW, has claimed that the closure was caused by the retirement of its neonatal doctor and the lack of a suitable replacement. While a public meeting is planned this Saturday, Sally Cusack from Maternity Choices Australia, Byron Shire region, told The Echo a meeting last week with the

chief executive of the Northern NSW Local Health District, ‘was very positive, and an interim and even long-term solution may be possible.’

Review of service ‘We were pleased that Mr Chris Crawford was listening and wanted an outcome,’ she said. Ms Cusack added that the department has agreed to an independent review of the service, something which will include external input from the public. ‘They will help draft the terms of reference,’ she says. But Ms Cusack added that she is yet to receive a reply from NSW health minister Jillian Skinner (Liberals).

In July and August we will welcome young UAE high school students needing friendly host families! The students are aged 14–16 years and study at BBELS for 5 weeks. Like our regular homestay program, hosting students is a great cultural experience for you and your family. PLUS you also receive $250 per week.

‘We believe very strongly in the importance of hemp in clothing as it’s a very sustainable way to make clothes. Hemp per acre produces more fibre, oil, food and medicine than any other plant, making it the most sustainable plant on Earth. We at Afends want to voice this to the world and hope that more people and companies support the hemp industry.’

Shorten’s strategy is Abbott remaining PM

Volume 30 #02

June 24, 2015

How to avoid Murdoch’s ever-expanding empire By reading The Echo you are helping us to fight Rupert Murdoch’s growing control of the media in Australia. Murdoch’s News Corp is the largest shareholder in APN*, the company that publishes the Northern Star, Byron Shire News, Ballina Advocate, Tweed Daily News and Lismore’s Northern Rivers Echo. But few people realise just how much News Corp’s political-influence footprint has grown throughout Australia in recent months. One of the few independent media companies, Crikey.com.au, said this last week about News Corp: ‘The company – through its director, shareholder, management or “associate” proxies, now owns or has the key influence over: • The vast majority of metro newspapers; • The vast majority of suburban newspapers; • The majority of regional daily newspapers; • Two key radio networks; • One of three free-to-air TV networks; and • Australia’s only pay-TV network.’ At the same time, funding for government bodies such as the ABC and SBS is being cut, and they are under commercial pressures. This is important because firstly, without independent media like the ABC, The Echo, Crikey and our local BayFM, everyone will start to believe that mainstream media tell the truth, and politicians and governments will be more susceptible to influence by large companies. Secondly, even more money will be siphoned offshore to multinationals who pay little tax in Australia. If you think online media will fix the problem, just consider how much tax Google pays in Australia (virtually none). The good news is that The Echo remains a small, yet strong, independent paper that distributes 48 per cent more papers and is read by almost twice as many people as its Murdochowned competitor**, but this is rare in Australia, and has only been possible with the continued support of our unique Byron Shire community. Many people don’t realise that The Echo has always been almost totally funded by advertising dollars, and the best thing you can do to support independent media is to either advertise, or tell those advertisers who do support us how much you value their support of the bits in between their ads. Simon Haslam, general manager *Source: investorcentre.apn.com.au June 17, 2015 **Source: CAB audited distribution, Roy Morgan readership survey June 11, 2015.

ur prime minister deals in absolutes. Coal is good for humanity – not some coal or some parts of humanity. No suggestion that coal can have its disadvantages, adverse consequences, to sully its benefits. There are no qualifications: coal is good for humanity. The sky is blue, the grass is green, beauty is truth, truth beauty; that is all ye know on Earth and all ye need to know. And it’s a similar story with border protection: the most moral thing you can do is to stop the boats. No matter that this eternal verity does not even appear in Tony Abbott’s own catechism: there is no mention of Thou Shalt Stop the Boats among the Ten Commandments, nor does the Sermon on the Mount contain the message Blessed are the Boat-stoppers, for they are the most moral of us all. Abbott’s repeated insistence that everything that has been done to stop the boats has been lawful may or may not be true: he refuses to adduce any evidence to support it. But even if it is to be accepted – at least as far as Australian law is concerned – it has almost nothing to do with morality. Indeed, when it comes to paying off people smugglers to return the hapless cargo to Indonesia, it may not even be good policy; as one historically minded commentator has reminded us, once you pay the danegeld, you will never get rid of the Dane. And moral, except in a strictly ends-justify-means sense, it most certainly is not. The best Abbott’s boosters have been able to say is that it is probably no more immoral than some other behaviour regarding people smugglers. Abbott’s bestie, The Australian’s foreign editor Greg Sheridan, assures

his readers that the smugglers often bribe Indonesian police to give them a green light. And no doubt they try it – crooks bribing cops is what crooks do. But it is a bit different from cops bribing crooks, which is what we are talking about. And it has also been revealed that it was likely – again no-one will confirm it – that in the past Australian officials have bribed people smugglers or their cohorts to provide information. Distasteful, certainly, but paying phizzgigs is accepted police practice. What is rather more unusual is paying the

Sheridan, for one, seems to have little trouble unearthing his version of what happened when it is in the interests of the government. And the Indonesians are far from satisfied – but who cares about the Indonesians? What matters is the domestic politics, and it is here that Bill Shorten, having announced that he would prosecute the case to the utmost, has once again folded. It is almost beyond belief that Shorten and his advisers were apparently not aware, or did not check, that the bribes had not emerged overnight;

What matters is the domestic politics, and it is here that Bill Shorten, having announced that he would prosecute the case to the utmost, has once again folded. by Mungo MacCallum crooks to continue and resume their previous criminal activities, especially when there are innocent victims who may be involved. However this fine distinction has successfully confused the issue to the extent that has taken the government largely off the hook at a time when it appeared to have been floundering. Two ministers, Julie Bishop and Peter Dutton, who should have been in the loop, initially responded by indignantly denying that it had ever happened, only to tacitly admit after more mature consideration that they had perhaps misspoken. Since then, both they and all their colleagues have followed the rote mantra of offering the lawful line, while refusing to discuss what they call operational matters. Bribery is operational? Some operation. This ritual secrecy is, of course, somewhat selective;

the cops and spooks were just as likely to have been slipping their backhanders to willing traffickers in the Rudd-Gillard years, if not before. A modicum of due diligence would have had Shorten prepared for the counterattack, and to be able to explain the gross discrepancy between what happened then and what has allegedly happened now. But it appears that the Labor leader is just as myopic about the past as about the future. Instead of going after the shadowy figure of Agus and the broken deal that saw the crew and their hapless passengers transferred to two other vessels with a minimum of fuel and food, as a result of which one ran out of juice and the other, now overloaded, ran aground and needed rescue by the longsuffering locals – instead of pursuing this clear evidence of cruelty, betrayal and danger to

life attested by both the crew and the asylum seekers, the leader of the always loyal opposition again fell into silence and went to water. And the same lack of prescience has now caught up with the allegations over his trade union dealings in the past. He called the Heydon commission a witch hunt, and predicted that it would be used to target Labor leaders and particularly him, but he apparently did nothing to forearm himself when the attack boiled over from the courtroom into the parliament and the media. Now he is again on the defensive. He may clear himself of the charges, but he is unlikely to allay the feeling that he has been an opportunist, always looking for personal advancement as the main chance. Talk that he is vulnerable as the party leader is fanciful; not only he is protected by the Rudd rules, but a justified fear that he would unleash a fearsome retaliation and vengeance against any move to challenge him has potential contenders effectively cowered. The party room is secure. But the electorate is another matter. After a long period of indecision, the voters are moving increasingly to the conclusion that Bill Shorten simply can’t hack it. His position is perhaps similar to that of an opposition leader of some 20 years ago; in 1996 Malcolm McGregor noted that the only reason John Howard won that federal election was because he was standing against Paul Keating. If he had been unopposed, he would have lost. So Shorten must be desperately hoping that Tony Abbott can hang on as prime minister. That looks like being his last, best hope.

Letters Day tripping What is a day-tripper? Is it something out of the 60s psychedelic age? Is he or she your average 9-to-5 office clerk looking for Echo Beach? Do they just come down and park at the lighthouse and comment, been there, done that, then turn around and go home? If they ride a motorbike itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite cheap in the long run. Just spending on fuel and a packed lunch from your mum, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not that expensive. I can see why we just have day-trippers. I went down there the other day and I was going to buy lunch. Quickly changed my mind when I saw the prices. I will definitely stick to my mumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s packed lunches. When I was 18 years old in 1974 my first legal beer cost 18 cents a middy.

Waterlily Park Tina Petroff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s letter in last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Echo fundamentally misrepresents my position on Waterlily Lake in Ocean Shores. My commitment to improving the condition of Waterlily Park and the lake has not changed since the election. In fact, only last Monday I inspected Waterlily Park with

a long-term resident of the area to gain a more detailed understanding of the lake and associated flooding concerns. I then attended a meeting of the Ocean Shores Community Association (OSCA) to discuss Waterlily Lake and other issues relevant to the north of Byron Shire. I am also very encouraged that Council will soon be deploying a mechanical harvester to tackle the build-up of aquatic weeds and applaud them for their desire to improve the health of the lake. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a shame that Ms Petroff didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t verify her claims with me or my office before making them. After 27 years of neglect as a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;safeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; National Party seat, our community has a backlog of infrastructure needs and I am committed to rolling up my sleeves and getting a better deal for our community.

Charging vehicles to park Q Charging vehicles to park in a crowded place has various purposes. Primary is that it liberates parking spaces. They then get used more purposefully and that is usually good for nearby businesses. A side-effect of paid parking is that Council (ie we, the community) receives some income. Even better is that we can tailor the system and give a selective discount. There is already a selective â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;coupon systemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for the current unpaid parking â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Shire residents can get the coupon. That arrangement will extend into the paid parking system when it starts. The current charge for the coupon is $25/year. Council resolved earlier this year to raise that to $100 for paid parking. On June 11 the mayor moved and Council

(including me) supported a review of that charge. I support it being reset to $25/year. But what I support more is a sliding-scale charge, where the more you use the more you pay.Â Staff have previously recommended this. At $100, those parking in Byron CBD every day of the year would spend about 30 cents a day on the coupon and save way more than that on parking. People like me, however, who may go by car to the Bay three times a year would spend about $30 per visit to save way less than that on parking. I just wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a coupon. But that means Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be treated as a second class local.Â The sliding scale would allow low-frequency locals to benefit as well as high frequency. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be voting for that coupon system when the

level for every person in the crowd, as well as reducing noise overspill. This can be easily achieved using digital audio-monitoring devices which can relay their information to the sound engineer so that volumes can be adjusted accordingly: big crowd bigger sound, small

crowd smaller sound. Secondly, the idea of using stereo in a festival environment is redundant owing to signal loss and other factors. So accordingly if everything is output in mono then it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter where the speakers are. In a tent environment a number of speakers could be placed around the audience without the continued on next page

North Coast news daily:

I need a wall, a big wall An open letter to the general manager, Byron Shire Council: Dear Mr Gainger, about 35 years ago I moved to this region and purchased a property in the hinterland. There weren’t many trees around at that time. There was pasture and rolling hills. I thought it was great. I loved it and thought it would be always be like that. Now, 35 years later there are lots of trees. The buggers are everywhere. They are huge. They are encroaching on my property. They are eroding away edges of my land. I don’t know what to do. I am not allowed to cut them down, and if someone doesn’t

do something my house will soon disappear into the wilderness. So I have come up with a solution. A really good one. I have decided, without consulting anyone, that what I need to have is a wall. A rock wall. A really big one. All the way around my land. That will fix the problem, don’t you think? However, there is a problem. I don’t have any money. I know you don’t have much either since you spent it all on that other wall at Belongil. But you see, now there is a precedent. Your councillors (or some of them, five I think it was) set it for us. Wasn’t that kind

of them? So now you are welcome to build one at my place. In fact that’s how we can solve all of our problems in Byron Shire.We can just build a bloody great wall around it. A huge rock wall! Good idea, eh? All our problems solved at once. No more annoying tourists from Queensland who can’t drive and take all our parking places. No more nasty tides and rising sea levels to mess up our day. No more trees eating up people’s properties. It’s a win win for us all. Who would have thought? I look forward to your reply.

The spit that shook the Shire: yet another wave Concerning the Belongil Spit Drama, Act XVII, Scene IV or thereabouts. We all could agree with Cr Ibrahim that many existing developments in the hills or on the coast would never be approved today. Employing the acuity of hindsight brings planning issues into focus wonderfully. At The Belongil Spit, ‘while anyone with any sense has already left town the only actor missing’ is yet to make their entrance on stage. Historically speaking, the Crown taketh away from the original occupants last century then giveth to a series of private owners and today the Crown again taketh away by virtue of the sea reclaiming a variable boundary. Why should an individual or the local community bear the cost of a poor decision to release the land made by some distant officer of the Crown? Buy back any lands at risk of reverting to the sea. Affected home owners convert to leasehold and pay an annual fee, say two per cent of the value of the land component. If the land value reduced or increased so would the fee. No doubt the current owners can invest wisely the proceeds from the sale of the land when converting to leasehold and easily cover their annual leasehold fee. To achieve a resolution it is well past time for the leading actor

win if they have done their job competently during the last term. Again witness DPI minister Katrina Hodgkinson’s demise. Maybe another round of court cases or a few auctions of land belonging to us now many non-payers are required to convince the more numerous defeated victims to rejoin the battles to hasten eventual victory over this tyranny.

Medicinal cannabis What’s the big deal about restricting cannabis for medical use? Apparently it’s because cannabis is a psychotropic drug. Well, so is opium but it is widely used for medicinal purposes as in morphine, codeine and thebaine. Why don’t pharmaceutical companies own up that the reason

to take to the stage. Send in the Crown! Robin Crosby Bangalow Q Did those who built their houses at Belongil after the 1988 Local Environment Plan came into force, making it clear which areas are subject to ‘planned retreat’, read their DA approval stating that should the water reach within 50 metres of their houses, they had to move? And did they sign their purchase contracts knowing this was the case, and that their contract stated quite clearly from the Section 149 Certificate that because this land was so zoned, it was not the responsibility of the council to protect their houses? What has changed? And why does the council (or more importantly the five pro-development councillors, not forgetting that one of those councillors gobsmackingly walked the floor recently with the balance of power) now see fit to spend $1M of ratepayers’ money building a rock wall to protect a few expensive houses a few months before the CZMP (Coastal Zone Management Plan) is tabled? Hopefully the CZMP will not recommend that a rock wall is a solution due to the well-documented fact that when a rock wall is built the sand moves and the beach is eventually lost. So why build

cannabis is restricted is that they haven’t yet found a way to monopolise/corner the market on it?

Which in this case will be borne by a community that has not been consulted or kept informed, with no respect for a community’s right to be involved when the council majority are so de-

termined they are right! But will they personally carry the liability? Sally Warriner Byron Bay Q If

protecting the Belongil sand spit is unquestionably good for all of us living here in Byron Shire, then why has the so-called Gang of Five gone to such incredible lengths to prevent the community having a col-

laboratively reasonable and evidence-led discussion on the subject? Especially when there is a region-wide Coastal Zone Management Plan now less than 12 months away. Why was it so important to exclude the wider community in such a significant financial and environmental decision and get the whole thing done in such a rush? The bags have been sitting there for over a decade – they

can comfortably sit there for another 12 months. It’s almost as if they knew we wouldn’t agree with the idea and closed the community out of the conversation before it had a chance to really talk about it properly. Kinda like a bully, or a bad marriage. Thankfully there is always the option of divorce. Timothy J Winton-Brown Brunswick Heads

Pothole Central Visiting family in Byron Bay last week and driving around the town I was appalled at the potholes and the street surfaces, which were the worst of any town or township anywhere. Even in the bush. Do the mayor and councillors ever drive in town? Leaving the library and heading south it really was rough going down that street and I have never ever seen as many potholes. I think it is the original surface. What a weak council you must have. For heaven’s sake, what is wrong with you council people? It really is a disgrace. Other similar-size towns put it to shame.

Eat me, I’m a graduate When I tell people that I just finished my honours degree with a thesis on cannibalism in the movies, the main response I get is ‘what the…?’ My focus on films about cannibalism didn’t develop out of a love for horror movies, but out of my long-held passion for animal rights. It’s astounding to me that while we are shocked and disgusted at depictions of cannibalism, most people can still carve the dead flesh of animals, chew it up, and ingest it without a second

thought. All living beings are composed of the same things: flesh, bone, and blood; we all share the same capacity for love, joy, fear, and pain. With my thesis, I wanted to explore and break down the disconnect that keeps people from seeing every animal they eat as an individual who did not want to die, who most likely suffered throughout his or her life, and who endured a terrifying and grisly death. I am grateful to the edu-

cators at Southern Cross University for awarding my thesis the University Medal. But for me, the true measure of success will be my ability to use what I’ve learned to help people see other animals not as meals but as the individuals that they are.

the thinking of a humanity that has lost all connection to its unique conscious ability to be able to function holistically (with regard to the whole). It is the animal need for short-term comfort that is uppermost. The human ability to develop technologies becomes pathological when it is not accompanied by the human developmental stage of the suspension of gratification. Using additional electricity for ‘modern’ toilet gizmos knowing that excessive electricity use contributes to climate change can be seen as a deliberate turning of backs on the ability to notice the long-term that accompanies humanness. It is partial regression to the pre-human condition. Geoff Dawe Uki

throughout her pregnancy. I feel some turn it into a medical model and not a natural process, eg, suggesting induction when it is not clearly needed. I wish we could educate pregnant mothers more and encourage them to read and watch DVDs on a more natural way to give birth and questions that need asking. I have noticed some intelligent mothers just don’t question their obstetrician’s views. I have purchased a DVD called The Face of Birth, presented by Baby Banksia and Goodeyedeer, an Australian documentary about pregnancy, childbirth and the power of choice. I recommend this DVD to anyone interested in child birth, those thinking of having a baby, midwives and anyone else who is just saddened by our maternity system in Australia. Margot Hays Bangalow

and drive themselves to their places of employment. And how great is it that they still have their driver licences? Some actually have their full licence and not the restricted version that prevents them from meandering too far from their place of residence. I do worry though, about how those elderly people in their 60s will be able to keep working longer to receive their pensions. The government wants them to, you know. And luckily I am a child of the early 1960s, because if I had been born a little later – tough titties. I might have to keep working until I’m 70 years old. Some elderly people were born way back in the 1920s. Now that’s what you call elderly. I understand there may still be some around that were born in the teens. Can you believe it? Surely the northern rivers can’t sustain this. Come on, Echo, I see you have made some amendments to a recent online story, but why do the media so often refer to people born pre 1960s as elderly? I am enjoying being middle-aged and hope I can keep upright for a couple more decades. Karen Harborow Mullumbimby

Sex, death, cheese and chickens: a rural memoir Dirty Chick: Adventures of an Unlikely Farmer by Antonia Murphy (Text Publishing, $32.99). Review by Mandy Nolan

Moving to the country to run a twee little farm is the dream of many a city slicker tired of the meaningless commute to work and a life marked by the lost hours on screens answering endless emails from people you will never meet. When born and bred San Franciscan Antonia Murphy and her husband flee the city for life as artisanal farmers on the other side of the world, she quickly finds the life where one tends sweet fluffy ducks, gathers fresh eggs from quaint chickens and milk from the darling cow for one’s breakfast to be the stuff of farm porn. It’s not real. Anyone who has spent any time living on the land knows it’s a visceral experience and certainly not one for the faint-hearted. In her debut memoir

Dirty Chick, while Antonia Murphy satirises artisanal farming, ridiculing her naivety and inadequacy, the reader knows from the outset that this woman is no shrinking violet. For a start, she and her husband sail from the US to New Zealand. I figure anyone who can face a raging sea in a tiny boat is going to master sticking their arm deep into a cow. I read this book with amusement and at times disgust. Not because the book wasn’t enjoyable – Murphy is a very funny woman and her writing style is a perfect blend of self deprecation, raunch and wry wit – but because the reality of country life is brutal. This discovery is key to Murphy’s journey and her eventual initiation into life as a boutique farmer. …By now I’d learned that country life is not a pastoral painting. Sure, at various times during the year you might see fluffy white lambs prancing in the tall grass, but those mo-

ments were rare. Real country life it turns out involves blood,

shit and worms. Also goat abortions.

I grew up in the country. I’ve had my arm up a cow and pulled out a calf. I’ve drunk water full of wrigglers, I’ve mustered cattle and eaten a noisy rooster who once had a name. I don’t fantasise about farm life. I know what it smells like. I know how hard it is. It’s dirty work. Murphy is clearly in love with the dream. She has a toughness that belies her soft middle-class American citygirl breeding. Her courage for tackling the unknown with a cracking insight and intelligence is perhaps the secret to her eventual success. Farm life bloods Murphy and her husband quickly. When they move to the small community of Purua to house-sit for friends who own a small farm it’s not long before they experience the joy of animal predators like ‘the duck rapist’, the thrill of goat impregnation, cattle diarrhoea and shaving a sheep arse. There is something of

the pioneer in Murphy, as she and her family not only struggle with navigating farm life, but also the health problems of her son, Silas, who is diagnosed with a developmental delay. One of the most charming aspects of the book is the way the small community of Purua embrace the family. When she recounts the drunken nights on strawberry wine watching the kids run wild, talking about goats and eating pig on a spit, I feel a kind of warm nostalgia for a life I could have had. Dirty Chick: Adventures of an Unlikely Farmer is a must-read for any initiate embarking on country life. It’s a rollicking, in-your-face rural-based riot of sex, birth and death where the hero comes to grips with her inadequacies and learns to make a bloody good cheese. Now that’s a happy ending. Q Antonia Murphy is one of the featured writers at this year’s Byron Writers Festival.

Hundreds displaced by a famous coathanger dunes of silt which blew in and settled, blocking pavements, filling drains, heaping across the tram tracks like middens of shell and ash. She nodded to one of the men standing kneedeep in rubble. She didn’t recognise the others. They looked like dusted ants as they scuttled over the remains of houses, pickaxes slung over their shoulders, gnawing away at the dank innards of bathrooms and the surprised mouths of fireplaces.

The Floating Garden by Emma Ashmere (Spinifex Press $26.95). Review by Sarah Armstrong

I must have driven over the Sydney Harbour Bridge hundreds of times, and have heard the familiar stories of the anxiously awaited moment when the two arches met, and the drama when a protester on horseback charged in to upstage the cutting of the ribbon at the bridge opening. The story I’d never heard was about the dispossession and displacement of many hundreds of people whose homes in Milsons Point and The Rocks were razed to build the ‘reaches’ of the bridge. (Which brings to mind the recent NSW government decision to sell off Housing Commission terrace houses in Millers Point, and which gives this novel a particularly contemporary resonance.) The demolition of Burton Street in Milsons Point – to make way for the bridge – is where The Floating Garden, Emma Ashmere’s very fine debut novel, begins. The novel brings together the stories of two women: Ellis and Rennie. For years Ellis Gilbey has run a boarding

house for women and girls, and she has a secret life as a pseudonymous columnist for a gardening magazine. Rennie Howarth is an upperclass artist who – when she escapes her abusive husband – ends up at Ellis’s soon-tobe demolished, down-at-heel guest house.

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

Emma Ashmere takes the reader inside rough-andready 1920s Sydney with extraordinarily evocative detail. Her description of what it was like to live in the demolition zone of Burton Street is particularly vivid and unsettling: Grit stung her eyes as she navigated her way around

Ellis and Rennie must find somewhere else to live, and housing in Sydney at that time – as now – was hard to find. Ellis dreams of having a garden of her own, and her reflections on gardening and plants – many of them in her columns – show her love of plants and her wry insight into questions of class and gender. Ellis and Rennie dare to want more than society offered them at that time, and their dreams to make new lives for themselves symbolise the mood of this period after WWI, when there was hope and the promise of social change for women. Of course, the reader knows that another world war is coming, which adds greater poignancy to Ellis and Rennie’s plans. As the story unfolds, Ellis

relives her escape to the city at 16, when she was drawn into the dubious world of self-styled theosophist, the charismatic Minerva Stranks. Theosophy was popular in Australia in the 1890s (and again in the 1920s) and brought to conservative Australia notions of karma, reincarnation and astral travel. One of the unexpected delights of the book is the exploration of this rich seam in Australian history. Emma Ashmere’s writing is subtle and lyrical, beautifully crafted and wise. The best books seem so complete, have such integrity, that we can’t imagine them existing in any other form, and we forget that they may have taken many drafts to get to this point. But in the case of The Floating Garden, I witnessed

the final drafts, and the thought and care that went into the version of it you can find in the bookshops today. Emma and I are in a writing group together, so I know that this book comes after years of refining her craft – writing short stories and essays – and years of thinking deeply about the issues that this book raises. She has a PhD focusing on the use of marginalised histories in fiction and her thoughtful inquiry in this area is evident. Q More

It’s time to plant bare-rooted roses. The season has just begun so there will be a good variety available if you get in quickly.

Vast Interior Ballina – the difference is everything

Dig a hole about 30cm wide and 25cm deep. Add some well-rotted compost or manure. Form a mound in the bottom of the hole, and spread the roots over the mound. Adjust the height of the mound so that the grafting point is about 2.5cm above the soil surface. Backfill the hole and drench with seaweed solution to stimulate root development. Mulch the surface – roses love lucerne.

Your Club – Your Community From bowling clubs to social and sporting clubs, the clubs industry is truly diverse. Clubs often provide a sense of cohesion and support for their community, your community, and they certainly know the magic of bringing people together. It’s what they do best. Registered clubs are owned by the community for the community, their sole purpose being to deliver a wide range of beneﬁts to their members and the wider community.

Your Club

The clubs industry employs more than 41,400 staff, includes more than 44,000 volunteers, and is home to more than 5.7 million members. Annually, registered clubs make a social contribution valued at $1.2 billion, and an economic contribution estimated at $3.2 billion. Registered clubs are passionate supporters of local sporting teams, especially junior sport, and are active partners of local charities and community-based initiatives. So take the opportunity to grab your friends and have a fresh look at your local club; maybe even become a member and reap the rewards.

OCEAN SHORES COUNTRY CLUB

CLUB LENNOX

It’s a meeting place. It’s an eating place. It’s a fun place. The Ocean Shores Country Club is not just a club for golfers and bowlers but a club for the whole community – young and older. The Club can be everything to everybody. You can make the Club whatever you want it to be – a place to wine and dine, a place to have drinks with friends, a place to watch the whales swim by, a place to just ignore the problems of the world. A drink with your meal or a meal with drinks – the Club’s Meraki Bistro gives you the chance to fine-dine on a threecourse meal or just have a snack with a beer or a wine. The course and the club were built to attract a community to the area and more than 40 years later the club is still providing for the community of Ocean Shores and surrounds. Besides its facilities for golf and bowls there is the art group and the bridge club as well as the provision the club makes for the not-for-profit and community organisations, most of which do not have to pay to use the facilities for their meetings and functions. The Club would be happy to hear from any other community, social or sporting groups who would like to use its facilities for meetings and functions. It only requires early bookings to fit into the club’s current list of fixtures. The Club, through cash donations, provided more than $7,500 in the past year to local sporting and community groups.

Club Lennox is the heartbeat of the Lennox Head community. It re-opened in December 2013 after being closed 12 months prior by its parent company. The reopening couldn’t have happened without the combined fundraising efforts of a community determined to get their club back. After raising $200,000 the club re-opened bigger and better than before. Gone are the days of being just a ‘bowls club’ – Club Lennox is now so much more. Attracting some of the region’s top music acts, there is free live music every Sunday.

Gone are the days of the bain-marie Australia’s clubs are increasingly serving better food, with Ballina’s RSL even offering a degustation menu. The Ballina RSL Club’s new executive chef Blake Seymour is no stranger to our readers as he was the former sous chef at The Byron at Byron resort and spa. Since taking up the role at Ballina RSL, Blake

has redesigned the breakfast, lunch and dinner menus. A sneak peek: the new menu items include a breakfast burrito, a 300g grass-fed ‘New England Trinity’ marbled scotch fillet and a prawn and

crab linguini. ‘The Ballina RSL, and in fact clubs all over the state, have really stepped up their menus and have high-quality dishes available these days’, said Blake. ‘I have kept many of the club classic/locals’ favourites in my new menus but I have also added dishes with local, seasonal produce, plus a few of my signature dishes’, Blake added. Ballina RSL now offers a degustation menu four times a year, and another new addition is the Blake’s Table menu, which is designed specifically for meetings or parties of 20 or more guests. It is a more relaxed, platter-style

Grunwald is aware of the criticisms politically outspoken musicians can cop and perhaps the audiences they polarise along the way. ‘I went that extra mile. I can honestly say that to a large extent it goes against the musician to speak out against things. For me it’s way easier to shut my mouth and not say anything. It’s generally a bad career move, even if people agree with you!’ However that didn’t quell the passion Grunwald has for grassroots politics. In fact it inspired his River Song – the latest single released previewing his upcoming September album. ‘With River Song I initially was talking about going to Tara and seeing the devastation (caused by CSG) and meeting the people and stuff like that and it was over this good groove to get people’s bodies shaking but it didn’t work musically; I am trying to force myself when I feel passionate about something to try to not be so literal.’

Grunwald is a big-picture thinker who admits to being influenced by Helena Norberg-Hodge, champion of the localisation movement and an outspoken detractor of globalisation and its impacts. ‘Helena influenced my thinking a lot. Xavier (Rudd) did a really cool thing; he got the whole lot of us around and we were chatting about different things and what can be done. Helena said there is a wider problem at work, and she explained what globalisation really is. That got me onto what I am thinking about and that really all of these problems do originate from this corporatocracy we find ourselves in. Even the fact that this is an old issue, how can we live in a world where we all agree greenhouse gas will be our undoing but the people who are in power who could do something about it do nothing?’ The problem Grunwald believes is our financial system. ‘I actually think the radical news is that

the money system is one of the key problems – although I’lI leave it to someone else to engineer a solution!’ In River Grunwald sings, ‘they call you an activist, they call you a terrorist, that you want to keep your drinking water clean’. ‘Surely it’s not being an activist to want clean water! I would think it’s more radical to say: let’s drill through our aquifers – but you are more likely to be seen as a terrorist if you blow up a bulldozer – I feel like in a lot of ways, our society – we are doing the work for the propagandists in the government; we do the hushing up ourselves.’ Social media is a force that Grunwald is both positive and negative about. While he can see the power of free mass communication, he also believes it’s our undoing. ‘I think it’s the worst thing for people’s egos and

their states of mind. I thought we were getting somewhere and that we were getting smarter. I had this faith that we were evolving, but we are devolving – things have become so superficial.’ An advocate of change, Grunwald believes it has to happen at governmental levels to really make a difference. ‘I actually think that this is an unpopular view, but massive changes have to happen at a government level; the changes we can make to our lives at a grassroots level won’t change the big things.’ In the end perhaps we’re closer to the solution than we think. ‘… a proper democracy would be a solution,’ laughs Ash. It’s a worry when the musicians are more visionary than the political leaders. Ash Grunwald, Thursday and Friday at the Byron Theatre, $25 + BF.

What is it about your chemistry with Hamish Stuart that just works – are there other people you have this with? I feel like a pretty lucky kid having Hamish Stuart as my band, that’s for sure. We’ve been working together for about seven or eight years now, and it feels like the chemistry and connection in the way we play together just keeps expanding. It’s definitely my favourite combination. How did you manage to get so much recorded in just two days? Does this time frame put you under pressure to not

make mistakes, or maybe just learn to live with them? There wasn’t really any pressure because we came in to it just wanting to make a start on recording these songs and see what shaped up. We knew that however it came to be, we wanted this next album to be focused on the ‘live’ duet sound, that freedom and energy exchange of us playing the music, live, in a room together. So that’s what we did. And then at the end of the two days, as it turns out, we had all the guitar, drums and vocals done for ten songs, shaped like a record!

The beautiful Bellinger River that runs through the town of Bellingen has also inspired a one-off concert called River Songs that promises to be one of the highlights of the coming Bello Winter Music festival. Mullumbimby local, BAY FM Mystery Train presenter and polka-dot queen Mary Cannon has dipped into the deep well of wonderful musicians at Bello Winter Music to present an afternoon of music celebrating river themes. Seven asks some of the musicians featured in the River Songs concert what floats their boats… What is the significance of rivers in music, and why do you think they have been the place or inspiration for songwriting and storytelling? Emily Lubitz – Tinpan Orange: To me, rivers represent transience and impermanence. They come from places far away and they move on to places far way. They aren’t stagnant – even if they are still. A river is in motion. A river is also a place where life happens, where the animals drink, where the people wash, where the boats come in to trade, where the fish are caught for dinner. Sara Tindley: Songwriters and storytellers are dreamers and a river has always been a kind of dreaming place. Mystical. There is a sense of place and belonging around rivers. We are all equals standing on the bank of a river. Kim Cheshire: For millennia the river has been a universal symbol, whether it’s the river of life, crossing the river Styx, the boundary between Earth and the underworld, a symbol of eternity or unity and much more. In the case of what I plan to sing about it represents restoration by the washing away of sins and starting anew in the form of baptism. These are universal themes and therefore useful tools for the songwriter/storyteller.

ARIES: The present Jupiter/Uranus power package of

Stars This week two major planetary players, Sun and Mars, exit the Energiserbunny sign of Gemini for some winterweather nesting in stay-at-home Cancer…

TAURUS: Get ready, set and on your mark to take advantage when the unexpected presents itself this week. Recognise opportunity when it knocks without insisting on seeing ID. You can discuss it all you want during late week’s Venusian moon – a doozy for cruisy pleasures like doing lunch or beauty therapies. GEMINI: North coast writer Helene Collard suggests approaching everyday routines tenderly this week. As in brushing your teeth, putting out the rubbish, driving, shopping and whatever else with conscious kind-heartedness. Treating yourself, your thoughts and interactions gently. If results are pleasing, you might want to continue…

fantastically fortunate aspects combined with loving support strongly suggest an Aries supernova moment. There won’t be a alignment like this for another four years, so be inspired by fellow Aries Joseph ‘Follow Your Bliss’ Campbell: take that leap of faith towards more joy.

CANCER: Sun and late-week Mars in your home and family loving sign stress domestic doings and family matters. Strong emotions run mountain high, river deep and everywhere in between courtesy of this week’s moon wobble, which nevertheless ushers in some happier-than-expected endings along with promising new prospects.

MURWILLUMBAH’S COUNTRY COUSINS! T H E S L E E P Y ST R E E T S O F M U RW I L L U M B A H A R E S E T TO C O M E A L I V E T H I S O C TO B E R W H E N S I N G E R /S O N G W R I T E R A N D N O W F E ST I VA L D I R E C TO R LO U B R A D L E Y P R E S E N T S T H E F I R ST M U RW I L L U M B A H C O U N T RY RO OT S F E ST I VA L . What makes Murwillumbah the perfect setting for your Country Roots Festival? To me, Murwillumbah is an old-school country town. As it is right in the middle of Byron, Nimbin and the Gold Coast, Murwillumbah also shares the amazing natural beauty that our area

offers. There are no music festivals in Murwillumbah and the showgrounds, where the festival will be held, is extremely well set up. It looks like a movie set out of an old western film! The townspeople of Murwillumbah are also just that little bit more country than the neighbouring towns mentioned,

LEO: While exuberant, mood-boosting Jupiter ices the playful cake of pleasurable Venus in your sign, this week also sees moods and feelings especially sensitive as the end of a personal healing cycle of reflection and mature acceptance finally winds to its close. Read and apply the operating instructions for Gemini…

VIRGO: As the astral emphasis shifts from out there to in there, social to domestic, expanded parameters to the daily routines you excel at, this week’s visionary chemistry ensures there’ll still be plenty of random fun – so take your playful, flirtatious self out for a walk on the wild side.

LIBRA: Gemini energy refines communication styles, now with Cancer ascendant we can apply these with extra-sensitive empathy. During this week’s now-yousee-it, now-you-don’t dance between timely closures and significant openings, someone you’ve judged could reveal a dramatically different facet of the intricate human jewel we all are…

SCORPIO: Saturn retro in your sign does the uncomfortable job of uncovering root causes of problems that are buried in the past. This worthwhile reflection renders you ripe and ready for the fire-sign dyad of Jupiter/Uranus heating your Scorpion waters into a creatively inspirational, fabulously phoenix week. Stay available.

and there is a great old-fashioned country hospitality feeling about it. How have local businesses and council got in behind your event? Council couldn’t be more supportive. Gary Bagnal, the Tweed Shire mayor, bought the first ticket and has it framed in his office! There is a new buzz in Murwillumbah and everyone is generally excited about the event. What opportunities do you think this event could eventually provide locally for musicians and business and later down the track? Do you feel you could attract international acts?

POETRY PIZZA IN PARADISE FAMILY FUN DAY IN BYRON Byron Bay Football Club are having their annual Family Fun Day this Saturday at the Rec grounds in Byron from 9am. There will be a jumping castle, sausage sizzle, other fun activities and games all day, followed by music and food in the early evening at the Northern.

BIG BELLO LAUGH Comedy lovers are in for a treat at Bello Winter Music with a nightly hour of comedy at 5 Church Street, Bello’s most ambient, hipster venue. Come and witness Ryan Coffey create a masterpiece about his beard and his search for love. Also featured are Greg Sullivan, Paul McMahon, Mandy Nolan and Ellen Briggs. 8pm 3–5 July with Nolan hosting the inaugural opening concert on opening night at the Memorial Hall.

THE DYNAMIC ART OF DRAWING

the crew have put together a showcase of work. The exhibition opening will be on the Saturday and will represent work from a large number of participants. There will also be a Q&A-style session. The show is at Kulchajam in Byron on 4 and 5 July.

A NICE BIG COFFEY Coffey combines his incisive comic eye, his blistering guitar skill, his howling vocal talent, and his mastery of the loop pedal to create hilarious anthems to everyday life – live, before your eyes. His debut at the 2011 Melbourne International Comedy Festival show earned him a nomination for the Golden Gibbo Award for Best Independent Artist. Coffey is just as at home on an outdoor stage in the summer sun and tearing up rock festivals. Supported by Nick Penn and MC Mandy Nolan, Thursday at the Ballina RSL at 8pm. Free.

Hosted by Vasudha Harte, Poetry at the Paradiso will feature Blackboi and Possum and Tango as well as open mic. Blackboi is an (Ab)Original empowering word sleuth of Gumilaroi and Maori descent. He has played alongside Archie Roach, Xavier Rudd, John Butler, Young Warriors, Wolfmother and Dubmarine. He will be making his first appearance as a poet at the Paradiso. Possum & Tango is the love-child of acclaimed Nimbin poets Janey Treasure and Biskit. They have recently been inspired to work together to create poetry for two. 6.30pm Wednesday at Pizza Paradiso, Suffolk Park.

WENDY MATTHEWS, PERFORMING SUNDAY 12 JULY AT THE BALLINA JOCKEY CLUB FOR THE BALLINA WINE AND FOOD FESTIVAL

SAGITTARIUS: Even fun things have had their troublesome side lately. As this week gear-shifts through a moody mix of revelations, inspirations, seasonal changes, personal recalibrations and bureaucratic lockdowns you’re likely to find yourself juggling wonderful synchronicities, dizzying possibilities, exasperating turnarounds and stimulating insights. Good luck with that…

CAPRICORN: While there’s no question you adore your family and friends, this week’s astro-trends could push certain Capricornian self-isolating tendencies right up in your face. Which are best met by self-enquiry, checking for personal blind spots and acknowledging the vital role that others play in your quality of life.

AQUARIUS: While all that evolutionary brainstorming you’ve been doing lately hasn’t been without its challenges, as Aquarian guru Mooji puts it: You’re not really going through anything – it’s going through you… Considering launching something with your own outrageous, inimitable, unorthodox stamp? This week’s radical Jupiter/Uranus force is with you.

PISCES: Neptune retrograde in Pisces brings tests of integrity – yours and others’. Which might sound daunting, but can actually be quite an exciting exercise in course correction if you’re prepared to make the brave changes. Your reward? This week’s happy high notes of cozy, home-based pleasures.

We have booked many local musicians to play. I had more than 400 people apply to play, so I don’t think I’m ever going to have to scrape around for musicians! We’re hoping this festival will put Murwillumbah on the map. It’s common for tourists to drive past Murwillumbah and go to either Byron Bay or the Gold Coast. So far we have people booking tickets from Mt Gambier, Tas, Cairns, NT etc. I think this town has the potential to accommodate a large group of people, local and outside, without losing its charm. I think we could definitely attract international acts; it’s just a matter of whether that fits the dream at this stage.

hearts! So much talent under one roof! This will be a winter night to remember so wrap up in your woollies and join the circus family for a fun and affordable night out! Raffle prizes to be won, $5 trapeze swings after the show and cafe and bar open from 6pm. Friday 7pm. Adults $5, Kids $3 Under-3 FREE. Tickets on the door. Byron Entertainment Centre. www. circusarts.com.au.

WINE AND FOOD FESTIVAL The main Ballina Fine Wine and Food Festival on Sunday 12 July is at the Ballina Jockey Club (11am 5pm). Entry to the festival is for 18 years and over only. Rachael Beck and Wendy Matthews will be performing at the festival on Sunday. Buses will be running from Byron Bay, Bangalow, Lismore, Alstonville, Lennox Head and Ballina. Bus tickets are just $5 return, so no need to worry about driving. It includes cooking demos showcasing local produce and food producers in the area. Cottage industries will showcase their wonderful products. Local restaurants will cook their signature dishes for patrons to sample with tasting plates available for purchase. A variety of wines, craft beers, ciders and spirits will be available to sample and glasses and bottles of wine, beer and ciders are available to purchase to enjoy on the day or to take home. Winemakers and brewers will be on hand to talk about products and share their knowledge at information sessions, which will be conducted throughout the afternoon. Tickets for Sunday’s event available from ballinafinewineandfoodfestival. com.au.

What is the vision you have for this event? The vision we have is to create a Country Roots Festival. So instead of the usual country music festival with whips and cowboys (although that doesn’t sound too bad either), not too many songs about utes and dogs, I have wanted a festival that focuses on country music that is a little left of centre and roots music that sometimes finds its way into the country music genre. We want cool country music and great original music.

INSIDE OUT

Every now and then you’ll see a movie that reminds you of cinema’s power to create a shared experience. I remember how the audience went right off when Roy Scheider shot that shark at the end of Jaws, and something similar happened in this, the best animation, by a country mile, since Toy Story 3. At the session I attended, I was lucky enough to sit directly behind a little girl and her mother. The child laughed throughout, was quiet and thoughtful during the moments of stress and regularly looked to her mum for consolation and wordless communication. The story follows Riley, a kid wrenched from her home and friends in the mid-West and taken by her parents to live in San Francisco. She carries with her a lot of emotional baggage and struggles to adapt to her new surroundings. The psychological drama in her head (in all our heads) is enacted by colour-coded personality traits – glowing Joy (brilliantly voiced by Amy Poehler), blue Sadness, red Anger, green Disgust and purple Fear. Because the film is primarily aimed at sub-teens, the potentially complex manifestations of character are simplified to straightforward squabbles between the contributing components – which is to say, there is none of the psycho-babble that flourishes hereabouts. Riley, depressed and feeling alone, has lost the essential memories that bind her to her family and help her to get up and embrace every new day. She decides to run away from home, and it is the task of unflagging Joy and the crew to reconnect Riley with her true self – and Anger (so despised by lifestyle charlatans) gets to play its crucial part. There is more than enough bombast and hatred in our world, so a dose of Disney positivity and love should be just the ticket for impressionable youngsters and jaded oldies alike. Uplifting and visually beautiful, this is an absolute treat. And at its close, that little girl and her mum in front of me cuddled, and I’ll be damned if I didn’t tear-up.

WALKING THE CAMINO

The Way (2010) was a fictional account of one man’s pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, following the Camino, or the Way of St James. It was a hugely satisfying movie and it provided a glimpse into the physical grind and spiritual reward of the 500-mile trek. For her documentary on the subject, Lydia Smith has chosen a handful of walkers, aged from three to seventy-three, who are dissimilar in nearly every way but for their desire to first and foremost finish the journey (it is almost too much for one of them), and also come to terms with that unnamable something within that helps us make sense of our random existence. As with any group of people, there are some whom you will warm to more easily than others, some whom you will want the camera to return to more frequently instead of lingering with those who rub you the wrong way. I didn’t like the Dutch trio much – she was a bit flaky, her little boy was an obnoxious brat and her brother a selfish pain in the arse. But fortunately the majority of hikers are engaging and forthcoming – the widowed man whose heart is still broken, the handsome young Portuguese fellow who was accompanied for part of the way by some Spanish mates, the American lady who, after being shown such generosity by a group of Germans that she had never met before, burst into tears and admits that ‘I have never been as kind as that to anybody’. Through a sweeping landscape of rugged terrain and gentle pastures, across streams and into major urban centres (Pamplona), the path itself becomes as much a ‘player’ as those on it and Smith, whose previous work was as camera operator, has a sure eye for the captivating shot. The important thing, however, is that she lets her subjects speak for themselves and by so doing we are able, by sharing their endeavour, to identify our own vague yearning for greater understanding.

On Sunday June 28 there will be a celebration of the life and legacy of David Lovelight, former presenter of Last Hippie in Byron Bay on Bay FM Community Radio. The celebration will be held in Railway Park from 12 till 3pm with a final farewell at Sunrise Beach at 4pm. All those who knew David, listened to his show and remember him fondly are welcome to come along and bring your own farewell, written on a cardboard heart. These last tributes will be placed in a special hippie bus casket – Further than Further. You are also asked to bring a plate if you would like to stay a while. Q Q Q Q

While our prime monster clings desperately to the notion that coal is ‘good for humanity’, Reneweconomy. com.au reports that French company Engie, which owns the Hazelwood brown coal generator in Victoria, the dirtiest power station in Australia, has issued a ‘call to arms against coal’ and for a transition away from its use. According to Mark Wakeham from Environment Victoria pressure will increase on Engie in the upcoming inquiry into the Hazelwood fire, which has already cost them hundred of millions of dollars in lost income and

repairs, and from the potential liability that the company faces in future. In addition, Reneweconomy reports that the uptake of solar in South Australia will reduce grid demand to zero – yes, zero – on some occasions by 2023: http://bit.ly/sasolarrenew. So it’s kind of sad with all this good stuff going on that our federal government refuses to wake up and smell the sunshine.

The Northern NSW Local Health District has kindly reminded us that from July 6 all commercial outdoor dining areas in NSW will be smoke free. Backlash for one will be happy not to be exposed to secondhand tobacco smoke while sculling a latte. On-the-spot fines of $300 may apply to naughty

smokers and business owners could cop a penalty of up to $5,500. According to the latest NSW Population Health Survey data, adult smoking rates in NSW are down from 16.4 per cent in 2013 to 15.6 per cent in 2014.

Q Q Q Q

Readers have suggested that there must be better ways for Byron Council to raise funds other than the dreaded paid parking in Byron Bay, and have offered up solutions such as a bed tax collected from those who benefit directly from the visitor influx. Rightly so, but the state government won’t allow it and has resisted such moves for decades. Council is quite restricted in the ways in which it may raise funds and the state is not about to loosen the purse strings.
