EDO letter on rock wall goes unregarded Jim Beatson

Byron Shire Council’s startling revelations over planning objections and implementation of their Belongil Rock Wall resolution raise fresh concerns over Council’s processes. On Tuesday July 28 the Environmental Defenders Office (EDO) solicitor, Nina Lucas, acting on a complaint from the group Positive Change For Marine Life, emailed a letter to Council’s general manager requesting that an environmental impact study on the rock wall’s implementation be undertaken. The emailed letter required that a response be provided to the EDO by Friday July 31 and that failure to do so would likely lead to an injunction to stop the work.

No knowledge On Wednesday July 29 mayor Simon Richardson was asked about the letter by Byron Residents’ Group president Cate Coorey. He said he had no knowledge of its existence. The following afternoon Council’s acting general manager Phil Holloway rang marine biologist Mary Gardner in response to her query as to the timeline for works on the Belongil. Holloway said works were proceeding according to plan, and he expected they would meet a timeline for start of construction in four weeks. Holloway replied he had no knowledge of the EDO’s letter. On Monday August 3, three days after the EDO’s deadline, Mayor Richardson told Cate Coorey that he expected that there would be a Council meeting that day or the

Alarming More alarming is the process by which Hardings Earthmoving received the contract to install the rock wall. Hardings have been successfully prosecuted or taken to court several times by Byron Council in recent years. Council initially rejected Harding’s quote, although cheaper than the others. Councillor Sol Ibrahim has admitted he entered into a conversation with Hardings’ rock wall consultant, Angus Jackson, after receipt of the confidential agenda for the Council meeting of March 19, 2015. continued on page 2

next to discuss the EDO’s letter and threat of injunction. This meeting never took place. When I asked Mayor Richardson how it was that he only heard about the letter at the end of the week he explained it came about ‘because the general manager was off sick, as was a senior secretarial staffer’. He noted, ‘It clearly shows the system needs urgent reviewing.’ Asked about what normal processes operate at Lismore’s council, their mayor, Jenny Dowell, says, ‘I get phone calls and emails regularly all day from the general manager on any issue of significance.’ Recent mayor of Randwick Council, Murray Matson, like Richardson a Green, says, ‘I met our general manager every morning. I would find it an extraordinary matter if the general manager had not informed me that the council had received written material from a solicitor calling for action.’

West Byron DCP consultation ‘token gesture’ Byron Residents’ Group has described Council’s community consultation for the West Byron Development Control Plan a ‘token gesture’. The group is calling for Council to ‘engage the community in a meaningful process so they can have a real say in the design of the biggest single development in Byron’s history’. ‘It was pressure from the community that brought the preparation of the DCP back to Council after the Department of Planning tried to impose their truly appalling version on us,’ said Cate Coorey of BRG. ‘The Department, without irony, told us that giving the DCP to Council was ‘‘returning planning

powers back to the community’’ – notwithstanding that they had already rezoned it against community wishes.

Only one workshop ‘The pro-West Byron councillors said to us repeatedly that the DCP would come back to Council and then the community would be able to have their say – that was far from the truth. Council resolved to adopt a DCP process that allowed for only one community “workshop”. ‘Two BRG members attended. Of the nine “community members” who attended, two were from interests associated with the developers, four were architects or associated

with building, which left only three members of the group who had no vested interest. ‘While the input of local professionals is valuable, the forum was really not a true community consultation. ‘Given the massive impact West Byron will have, increasing the size of our town by at least 30 per cent, we expected something more like the Byron Bay Masterplan consultations with the West Byron DCP process. ‘Once Council has finalised their draft and put it on exhibition it is too late to get any substantial changes. If the community is to have a meaningful say it must be now.’

North coast surfers push for limited shark cull Darren Coyne

Migrating whales, baitfish and marine parks are causing a ‘McDonald’s drive-through’ situation for sharks that has the NSW north coast surfing community scared. That’s according to Don Munro,

president of the LeBA (Lennox-Ballina) Boardriders Association, who called a meeting on Monday night attended by about 200 surfers and other community members. They came from Ballina, Lennox Head, Byron Bay and

Evans Head. Mr Munro said the consensus of the meeting was that a limited shark cull was required to remove sharks causing problems in local waters. Q Read more on this story at

Cr Ibrahim’s email on that contact was supplied to Council. His discussion of this at the meeting of Council on March 19 was recorded. Note that Section 6.2d of

the Byron Shire Council’s Code of Conduct states that ‘Councillors or administrators must not: d) contact or issue instructions to any of Council’s contractors or tenderers, including Council’s legal advisers, unless by the Mayor or administrator exercising their power under section 226 of the Act’. When Mayor Richardson

was asked how this is not a breach of Council’s Code of Conduct and what are the consequences, ie would Cr Ibrahim be reported to the ICAC, the mayor replied, ‘Consultants of tenderers or subcontractors within tenderer teams should not be speaking to councillors while the process is incomplete’ but made no further comment.

Greens MP seeks input on public lands use Current community outrage about the management of public lands has prompted north coast Greens MLC and spokesperson on Crown lands Jan Barham to arrange forums on the north coast to focus on the concerns. ‘Along the north coast, communities are identifying problems with the state government’s management of public lands,’ Ms Barham said. ‘The government is not meeting the objectives of the Crown lands legislation that requires the best interests of the community and the environment to be maintained. ‘In the Tweed there is community outrage about the transfer of a public reserve to the Gold Coast airport and the potential for the destruction of significant saltmarsh vegetation and fish habitat by an airport expansion. ‘The government’s lack of progress in finalising a back-

log of 26,000 Aboriginal land claims across the state is disgraceful and cultural heritage is at risk, including key regions here on the north coast. ‘In Byron Shire there have been ongoing concerns with the management of the Brunswick Heads caravan parks since the removal of Council’s control in 2006.

Access denied ‘The North Coast Holiday Park developments have proposed the denial of community access to the foreshore and overdevelopment of the parks. The changes would affect the character of the town and the appeal for residents and visitors. ‘The proposed dredging of the Brunswick harbour and river lacks appropriate environmental assessment and a long-term management plan. There has also been a disappointing lack of

community consultation. ‘The north coast’s precious forests are again under threat. I have been raising in Parliament the poor management of the state forests and the government’s lack of focus to ensure protection of environmental values. ‘Now a proposal to change the forestry management protocols is raising fears that even more damage will be done to significant biodiversity. ‘As a community we have a right to expect that the government will honour its legal requirements to protect and preserve public land in the interests of the people of the state. ‘We need to stand up for the protection of the

“commons” and not let the state take for granted what belongs to the people of NSW and the future.’ Patricia Warren, secretary Brunswick Progress Association, has echoed Ms Barham’s concerns, ‘Since Crown Lands took direct control of the iconic caravan parks in Brunswick Heads, their agenda… has deservedly met with community and Council opposition culminating in Council’s refusal to renew their licences.’ The free Brunswick Heads forum will be held on Wednesday August 19 at 6pm in the Brunswick Heads Community Centre.

Byron youth centre to get a reno Despite funding being withdrawn for vital youth programs in the region, the state government has come to the party to help keep the youth activities centre, or YAC, open and operational. Youth worker Deb Pearse says the Byron Youth Activites Centre in Byron Bay has been approved a grant for $140,000 from NSW government’s 2015–16 Public Reserves Management Fund Program to upgrade the Byron Youth Activity Centre. Ms Pearse says, ‘The funding will provide a muchneeded upgrade for the YAC with a new floor, new stage, solar power, etc. ‘It will enable us to provide a much better facility for young people and a much improved venue for festivals, youth events, music shows and the Byron Flea Market. ‘It will also enable more

Locals’ plea to ban asphalt on Bruns walkway ignored Luis Feliu

An appeal by Brunswick Heads residents to the state government to not asphalt the entire length of a popular walkway on the river breakwall has been ignored. A meeting held last week by the Brunswick Heads Progress Association (BHPA) to debate the controversial issue, as well as the proposed dredging of the town’s boat harbour and river, called on the Department of Primary Industries to consider alternative surface materials for the walkway at the southern breakwall. The meeting, attended by more than 100 locals, also called on the government to consult residents in future on plans to redevelop the marina precinct in the town, the dredging and other

contentious proposals in the pipeline. But only a minor change to the breakwall walkway will be made: a one-metre strip will be left natural sand, so children and surfers can walk barefoot from the Torakina carpark to the beach. A departmental spokesman told Echonetdaily the asphalt walkway on the crest of the rock breakwall will be 2.4 metres wide and the strip of natural sand will be around a metre wide up to the vegetated fence line ‘to provide people with a choice to access the beach’. The spokesman said one of the reasons asphalt was chosen for the pathway was ‘to provide a smooth surface to improve access for people of all ages and those with mobility impairment’. But BHPA president Leone

Bolt said that ‘once again the wishes of the community have been ignored’ on the issue as the ‘rest of the entire breakwall will be asphalt’. Ms Bolt told Echonetdaily that other concessions made by the Lands division of the department was that the dredging pipes to carry out the dredge spoil from the harbour would ‘now go behind Harry’s Hill and then onto New Brighton Beach, which should protect endangered nesting birds on the hill’. She said that the department would now also allow a resident representative to attend all future meetings on the boat harbour redevelopment master plan. The department’s manager for coastal infrastructure, Garry Clarke, said, ‘Sealed surfaces have been used successfully on many other break-

waters along the NSW coast to improve surface conditions for the public to walk on.’ Q Read more on this story at

Another Byron Bay home razed by fire A weatherboard Queenslander in Kingsley Lane, Byron Bay, was totally consumed by fire in the early hours of Thursday morning. It is the second weatherboard house within a small area of Byron Bay to have been destroyed by flames in a fortnight, after a guesthouse in nearby Kingsley Street was gutted on July 21. NSW Fire and Rescue re-

ceived a call at 4.45am and despatched crews from Byron Bay, Bangalow and Brunswick Heads to extinguish the blaze, all to no avail. A spokesperson said the building was already well alight when crews arrived and the fire was beginning to threaten the house next door. The sole woman resident, who had evacuated the house before the fire completely

took hold, was taken by ambulance to hospital. The woman, believed to be in her 60s, was suffering smoke inhalation and minor burns. Police are still investigating the cause of the fire. NSW Fire and Rescue are again reminding residents to have an escape plan, make sure their smoke alarms are working and to ring Triple 0 at the first sign of fire.

Byron Music has expanded into the neighbouring shop and is now offering lessons. After a solid month or so of renovations, the specially designed sound proofed rooms are now filled with the sounds of piano, guitar, drums, voices and other wind and string instruments. Owner Nick Sergi says there’s been a solid uptake of students, which now number around 40. Byron Music is located at 144 Jonson Street, opposite Mitre Ten.

Penalty-rate changes ‘WorkChoices by stealth’: MP Labor Richmond MP Justine Elliot has lashed out at a government proposal to slash penalty rates in the retail and hospitality sectors, saying it will impact unfairly on workers in our region. The government’s review of workplace relations, which was conducted by the Productivity Commission, ‘shows that the Liberal/Nationals are determined to bring back WorkChoices,’ Ms Elliot said last week. The report makes a number of recommendations, including a two-tier penalty rate system. Under the plan, one group of workers – hos-

pitality and retail – would have their wages cut while frontline emergency workers and nurses would continue to receive the penalty. But Ms Elliot said it was ‘only a question of time before a Liberal/Nationals government moves on to… nurses, firefighters and others.’ ‘On the north coast, the National Party have a long history of cutting penalty rates and workers’ take-home pay,’ she said. ‘Labor will continue to fight these unfair changes and will not support a two-tier penalty rate system. Ms Elliot said that many locals are employed in the

hospitality and the retail sector. ‘They and their families rely on penalty rates to make ends meet. ‘The Abbott government wrote the terms of reference for the review and they specifically directed the commission to focus on penalty rates and the minimum wage. This is a slippery slope to cuts to wages and other conditions. ‘Rather than a race to the bottom on wages, Labor believes the government should focus on jobs and economic growth through investing in skills and training, infrastructure, innovation and entrepreneurship,’ Ms Elliot said.

Govt threats to information’s free flow explored which is out of the reach of a citizen journalist. Sheridan added that recent legislation ‘empowers the government to jail journalists’ for doing their job. Defamation, the rich person’s resort, raised its ugly head when McClymont described the terror of being sued by Eddie Obeid in 2006. Recounting Joe Hockey’s misadventure in receiving only a fraction of his court costs in his recent defamation case against Fairfax drew loud applause from the audience.

Journalism was well represented at this year’s Byron Bay Writers Festival, with sessions on each day giving the punters an insight into the trade. Among them was a look at how much harder it has become for reporters to get the truth out there. And not just because of foreign government repression as one would suspect with the lineup at Saturday’s session on ‘Jail For Journalism’. Noted journalists Sally Sara, Kate McClymont and Greg Sheridan all lamented the Australian government’s fervour for cracking down on whistleblowers and tracking journalists’ sources via electronic means, the notorious examination of metadata. McClymont now advises sources to put sensitive information in the mail. She even longed for the old days when Bob Woodward’s sources (of Watergate fame) could tell when he was available by the

movement of his pot plant. Sheridan said it was much harder to get information on national security. ‘We’ve had sources go to jail for exposing wastes of government money,’ he said.

Eavesdropping Electronic eavesdropping, tightening of the Freedom of Information Act and the threat of our lousy defamation laws all restrict our right to know, according to these

reporters. Even in Afghanistan Sara found the Australian military brass less ready to talk than the Americans. And back home ‘we’re increasingly faced with [dealing with] spin doctors’, according to McClymont, who also said the minders resent reporters getting through to a government minister. McClymont also noted how expensive it is to get the facts through an FOI,

Zainab, one of the interviewees in the film.

Through the words of the refugees themselves, the story of their flight from persecution in their own country and hazardous journey through Indonesia to Australia is told. The film will be followed by one refugee’s tale of his harrowing journey to Australia. Abdul Ibrahimi escaped Afghanistan when he was seven years old, fleeing to

Pakistan, Iran, and Indonesia from the Taliban. His journey to Australia will be recounted in conversation with author and

Sara also pointed out that big media companies tend to cover the same stories while major international events are ignored. The public also are guilty in restricting their own need to know. Sheridan found this out when his major analysis of the Red Shirt and Yellow Shirt factions in Thailand drew only 19 internet comments, while the public went ballistic on yet an-

journalist Susanna Freymark. Federal Loves Refugees is on Saturday August 15 at Federal Hall at a cost of $20. Dinner is served from 6.30pm, with the film and guest speakers from 8pm. All proceeds from the night go to Communify, a Brisbane-based organisation supporting asylum seekers with basic living expenses.

Federal gives its support to refugees Many people struggle to find a practical way to help refugees seeking asylum or settling in Australia, but the township of Federal is about to host an event that can be an outlet for those frustrations. Federal Loves Refugees will see a screening of the award-winning documentary Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea (http:// deepblueseafilm.com) by Jessie Taylor with the help of Ali Reza Sadiqi.

Tony’s deviant romance with coal

Volume 30 #09

August 12, 2015

Safety nets fraying Both the state and federal governments save themselves a fortune by relying on the work of volunteers to provide essential services to local communities. You would think our taxes might cover that but apparently it’s more important to spend $8.5 billion over four years locking up desperate refugees on inhospitable islands. Then they have the cheek to take further funding away from these services, even though the services often prevent the despair and chaos which make governments’ jobs even harder. Two cases in point locally are Byron Youth Service (bys.org.au) and the Byron Community Centre (byroncentre. com.au). BYS recently got a reprieve with a $140,000 grant from the NSW government to upgrade the Byron Youth Activity Centre. However the funding ‘does not mean BYS is out of the woods financially’, according to youth worker Deborah Pearse. While the Byron Community Centre has provided emergency relief assistance to the most vulnerable in our community for the past 30 years, the federal government has cut funding to only $5,000 for the coming financial year, even though $40,000 is needed to maintain current service levels helping out the homeless and marginalised. The Centre has produced a touching and inspiring video at http://bit.ly/byroncentre to demonstrate the need and showcase the successes as part of its Safety Net Appeal. Between them the BYS and Community Centre staff and volunteers have racked up around sixty years of service to the young and to the vulnerable of all ages. It would be a real disaster if they could not keep up the good work. Michael McDonald

yron Shire, on the north coast of New South Wales, is something of a Green-Left enclave surrounded by a conservative heartland dominated by the National Party. As a result it can adopt a defensive, even embattled posture, and when it does have a chance to celebrate, as at the annual Writers Festival, it tends to flaunt its wares. And thus last weekend, when the secular saints and their disciples were assembled, there was no doubt about who was the potential messiah. Julia Gillard could hardly have received more rapturous applause if she had been reincarnated as Joan of Arc, walking free from the flames to proclaim the dawn of a new and better world. But for every heroine there has to be a villain, and the organisers cast this role for one of the demon princes of the evil empire commanded by the arch-fiend, Rupert Murdoch. The Australian’s foreign editor, Greg Sheridan, turned out to be a disarmingly personable hate figure, considered and even moderate in his views and surprisingly reasonable (if not entirely convincing) in his rejection of the proposed referendum on Aboriginal recognition in the Constitution. His massed opponents found themselves somewhat bewildered; where was the uncompromising right-wing zealot they saw in their daily record of sneering and disdain? But they were somewhat reassured when he moved to defend his best friend Tony Abbott; the chorus of relief and derision swiftly restored the status quo. The prime minister, said Sheridan, was deeply misunderstood; he was really a thoroughly nice man, not at all the like the knuckle-dragging Neanderthal, the hyper-aggressive

potential murderer (yes, he did acknowledge the description) that he was portrayed. The real Tony Abbott was actually a romantic: kind not only to dogs and children but to the waifs and strays who crossed his path, by whom Sheridan presumably meant some of the less than impressive ministers he had selected to run his dysfunctional administration. Excessive loyalty was his problem, his single weakness; hence the Bronwyn Bishop fiasco. Well, that is all very well, but it still does not make him a romantic, a descendant of William Wordsworth and John Keats:

The rest of the world is pushing on with renewables, and the Australian public is besotted with them.

by Mungo MacCallum Abbott is far more at home with the stentorian, repetitious slogan than the well-crafted ode. But there is one area where he can wax positively lyrical: his continued paean to his love of fossilised carbon. Coal, Abbott sings, is good for humanity; not only that, the decision of the Federal Court to block the Adani project would not only be disastrous for Australia – it would be tragic for the world. Tragic: apparently more so than the anniversary of the battle of Lone Pine, or even more importantly (from the media’s point of view, at least) the collapse of the Australian cricket team at Trent Bridge. Abbott is not the first to get metaphysical about an aspect of the energy debate: it was Kevin Rudd who announced (temporarily) that climate change was the greatest moral challenge of the times. But Abbott’s ongoing love affair with the black

and brown stuff, at the expense of the solar alternatives he wants to scale down, let alone the windmills at which he tilts, suggests that his passion is not simply perverse, but positively deviant. The rest of the world is pushing on with renewables, and the Australian public is besotted with them; not only has the take-up of roof top solar exceeded all expectations, but the latest survey from the Climate Institute shows that support for action on climate change is up to 63 per cent, and more than 70 per cent want the government to move to renewables.

And when it comes to the case of Adani, Abbott’s sentimentality has blinded him to reality – the sign of a true romantic. Abbott apparently believes that the arrival of Australian coal will suddenly liberate the power-hungry masses of India from their needs. But as the former Indian secretary for Power, Eas Sarma, somewhat acerbically pointed out, the problem is that many of the hundreds of millions of his citizens are not connected to the grid system, and because of their remoteness, are not likely to be. Coal is never going to be an option, and even if it were, Indonesian coal would be much cheaper than the product of the Galilee Basin. Far more practical, and economical, will be renewables, especially solar. Adani is not even considering their needs – it is interested not in public welfare but in profits, and given that demand, and therefore prices, are falling, the

Carmichael project has already been getting very iffy indeed. The Commonwealth Bank’s withdrawal of funding may have coincided with the Federal Court decision, but it was obviously moving through the bank’s balance sheets long before then. It is probably too soon to start talking about Adani pulling out altogether, but it must be a very real possibility. And if it does, Abbott will have a real tragedy on his hands – at least a political humiliation of the kind he can least afford right at the moment. He will, of course, blame the Greens, the courts, the banks – anyone but the hard economic facts. And it is in this context that he and his government will have to confront the Paris conference when, finally, Australia puts its card on the table and tells the world whether or not it is actually serious about climate change. Abbott says that he is: the emissions reduction target of 26 per cent by 2030 is strong and responsible, but it will not be at the expense of jobs and prosperity – by which, of course, he means coal. This is, once more, a romantic fantasy: that action on climate change can be all but free, and that the real bottom line that business as usual must go on forever. It is a delusion that most of the world – although, apparently, not most of his party room – has long since grown out of. But Abbott still clings on to the comforting myths of Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy and the Magic Pudding of endless coal. He may yet wake up, but obviously Greg Sheridan has given up hope: Abbott is, and will remain, an incurable romantic – an endearing, even loveable feature in a friend, but not, as Sheridan reluctantly admits, a sensible one in a prime minister. Not even in Byron.

Metering our addiction to cars Q It seems obvious to me that

the sports ground should become a car park, with a bus or – dare I say it? – a train service into town and the markets and Butler Street park should be kept as the market location, possibly doing away with the need for a bypass and the money saved on not building a bypass could be spent on the park itself – which, let’s face it, is not worthy of such a beautiful town as Byron Bay.

Farmers market

Byron Farmers’ Market (BFM) is challenging Byron Shire Council in a bid to maintain its presence at Butler Street Reserve during the period of the proposed paid-parking trials. Council has made it clear to the management committee of BFM that the lease will probably not be renewed and Council is angling for a move of the market to the new sports complex at Ewingsdale. This is naturally a cause of great concern to stallholders and local customers alike, who believe that while traffic management is obviously necessary, the disruption is neither necessary nor warranted. BFM has grown to become one of the most

other day. The roads are a disaster! The roads are a disaster everywhere in this shire. The paid-parking meters and the $100 annual pass can’t come soon enough, but apparently the chai latte cheapskate hippies don’t want to pay $2/week? Do you want to pay for new axles? Or is it all about living free and easy while the tourists pay? Put the meters at Wategos too! Edward Kent Suffolk Park

surprising to read in last week’s Echo that Byron United is opposing paid parking. We are warned that it’s ‘unfair’ and ‘will leave Byron

business vulnerable’. But vulnerable to what? Will tourists go to Casino instead? Or Woodburn? Maybe shoppers will head to Urbenville where they can be assured of free parking. The business chamber’s warnings are reminiscent of the scare campaign that preceded the introduction of the carbon tax. Remember how whole towns were going to be wiped off the map? But like Tony Abbott’s carbon tax scare campaign Byron United’s narrative is rubbish. We heard the same thing before a ‘trial’ paid parking scheme some years back. But the scheme was an un-

mitigated success. Substantial revenue was raised and, amazingly, parking in the Bay became easier. Byron United understands that Council needs more revenue. But they think that the burden should fall squarely on the shoulders of ratepayers. They understand that traffic congestion is a major issue but want ratepayers to fund a bypass. Paid parking is no silver bullet. But as a quasi-congestion charge it is a sensible public policy response to a couple of problems. Business should get on board. Dave Lisle Mullumbimby

highly successful and well regarded farmers markets in Australia and has had a positive presence at Butler Street reserve since 2002. There are multiple benefits in the reciprocal goodwill between rate-paying customers and stallholders and many firm friendships have developed over the years. In a recent survey of customers (350), it is apparent that 35 per cent of BFM customers live in town and either walk or cycle to the farmers markets. It is therefore a matter of great concern for stallholders who consider that a move to the sports complex will put their livelihoods at risk. Further, customers residing in town will either not attend

the market or will drive to Ewingsdale to shop at BFM and will then join the congested traffic returning to Byron centre. How does the proposed move to Ewingsdale make sense? Butler Street Reserve has a total area of 4.96 hectares. The proposed parking trial (Council first indicated a requirement of 50 car spaces, then 100, then 300, then?) will require a total of 18,000 square metres (1.8 hectares) to accommodate 300 car park spaces, including access via parking and circulation aisles. This leaves more than half of Butler Street reserve available – over three hectares – surely enough for a farmers market that requires about half a hectare, half a day a week!

International research generally indicates that farmers markets should ideally be located as close as possible to population concentrations and that the business community, the general com-

mans by predators. The three animals featured were crocodiles, polar bears and great white sharks. None of the solutions in relation to great white sharks seemed to be very effective and it occurred to me that it might be possible to use radar as a shark protection device. One of the reasons fish stocks are so depleted in the ocean is that trawlers use radar to locate schools of fish in order to net them more effectively. If a radar device were attached to a buoy out to sea it could be connected to a computer programmed to recognise large fish which could automatically activate a siren or some other warning device without the need for human intervention. Because dolphins and sharks move differently – dolphins undulate, sharks glide – it should also be possible to create a program that could distinguish between sharks and cetaceans. Drones have been suggested as a possible solution. The limitation of drones is that they would need to travel along a beach and if a shark happened to be in deep water at the time it passed over it may not be spotted. The advantage of radar attached to a buoy is that it

Goodwill missing Late last year Byron Council resolved to adopt the Community Charter for Good Planning. Since then the concepts of ‘community’ and ‘good planning’ seem to have eluded the pro-overdevelopment councillors. The wellbeing of the few – those who seek only to benefit themselves – is being put ahead of the whole community with the councillors’ support for the Belongil rock

wall, West Byron megasuburb and the Ewingsdale so-called ‘seniors’ lifestyle development. We have seen the same pro-rock-wall councillors actively work to exclude the community from major decisions – the engineering of our beaches with rocks and sand pumping – using backdoor methods to avoid community scrutiny. They are even working to reclassify community land at Belongil so they can sell it; we are to pay for the rock walls that will protect the land and then the councillors, encouraged by an enthusiastic inhouse real estate agent, plan to sell it, at a profit, into private hands. They have been saying that it is community land they are ‘protecting’ but they have already started the process with the Department

new roads, for parking lots and even buildings dedicated to storing more cars. We glide over hectares to be done over with more housing developments as thick as a city. Wetlands to be dug till their soils produce fresh acid sulfates. Food trees and shelters for koalas and all the other creatures will disappear. Hard surfaces will armour more of the soft ground. The effluent from the sewage treatment plant, already overwhelming the Belongil, will increase. That coastal edge there at Belongil is being prepped for more rock walls, well known to hurry erosion of beaches. We do understand how building more roads, burning more fossil fuels and paving more coastal wetlands is not progress but excess. Of the entire far north coast, here is

one of the last coastal places not quite cemented. We are in the curious stage of living at the very limits of what we once labelled ‘growth’. What has it amounted to? In Australia, the Australian Council of Social Services explains that what measures as ‘average wealth’ is deeply inequitable: the upper group has 70 times the financial value of the lowest one. WWF describes another type of inequity: the known loss of over fifty per cent of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish. The unknown losses of other lives from molluscs to insects. Global warming is racing ahead off the charts. Trends are mental tsunamis. They flood our imaginary sense of the future. The experience is so vivid that our

vision is shattered. It’s a waking nightmare. Every culture, even our western one, respects bad dreams. Sometimes, personal counselling suggests that we each meet such terrors in an imaginary dialogue. Listen, respond and imagine new actions. Collective terrors require the same. As we keep listening, small details light up. Little turning points appear. Once again, we spot other potential. Our sense of shattered futures regroups itself but differently. Here in Byron Bay, we struggle to accept limits to ‘growth’. Nightmare trends for more cars, bigger buildings, more roads and even more rock walls seem well underway. But just as we dreamed them up, we can re-imagine them. What about alternative growth trends? Backing off from pollution? Resolving inequities among ourselves and other species? Returning plants lost to beaches, wetlands, neighbourhoods and rural places? Less is more. The great bird I watch watches me. Its kind survived trends over millennia to get here.

the community and as the destroyers of Byron Bay. So far they have sabotaged the protection of our beloved koalas by scuttling the Koala Plan of Management and given us a shopping mall, a megasuburb to rival western Sydney, a useless bypass and sand pumping – what a legacy. Cate Coorey Byron Residents’ Group

Given the chance to comment on the council plans to build a bypass along Butler or Byron Streets we see that the proposed bypass does not bypass anything. Parking will be lost and the town will be seriously disrupted for a long time. Traffic travelling north or south will still have to queue up to get in or out of town. The Wentworth Street options (from Kendall Street over to Butler Street) do offer some hope of alleviating

some of the traffic between the industrial estate and the town centre. They might also take the farmers market and other market traffic away from the roundabout near the police station. With all the proposed development along Ewingsdale Road the traffic will become more chaotic than ever. Of course there is an existing very good bypass between Suffolk Park and The Farm in Ewingsdale Road. It is called continued on page 12

This waterway on Tallow Beach is still open to the sea. Nearly in tears, I stare at the pelican strutting in the cross currents. The lump of knowledge chokes in my throat and I am lost for words. The camera with its telephoto lens holds the image better than memory. I stutter, rewriting these first words again and again. After a painful hour, only three words remain: less is more. If I flew with you as the pelican does over to the Belongil waterway, we could both see the strange busyness of people. They cut roads through the swamp for their noisy vehicles. The exhaust fumes sicken their lungs and hearts. Accidents also happen. All of this hurts and kills people. Some of the exhaust settles onto the roads until rain washes the pollution into channels, all joined with waterways and beaches. The chemistry of the sea around us absorbs other pollution in the air. The ocean water receives everything. It becomes acidic. It is dirty with rubber from tyres, particulates from fossil fuel and more chemicals. Marine life suffers. Soaring over the traffic jams, I point out routes for of Planning to reclassify that community land. Even the Office of Environment and Heritage believes Byron Council is acting irresponsibly with the rock wall and is withholding funds as a result.

‘grabbing the rail’ should not be an option. In other towns and cities they are reconstructing their trainlines, which can become great movers of people. When planning to alleviate the serious problems we have with the traffic coming in and out of town don’t accept a ‘make-do’ solution. Already there is an enormous amount of development between Suffolk Park and the town centre. Future development along Ewingsdale Road, across to the industrial centre and into Belongil, must be considered in any decisions about a bypass. Soon the new hospital will add further complications to the situation. The council should listen to the residents and all the people who will be affected by building a mini or a maxi bypass that does not improve

Dear landlords With no government regulation landlords are controlling rental prices. They can ask what they like and take no notice of what is happening economically in the rest of Australia. That a person’s entire minimum wage can be spent on one week’s rent is ludicrous and is the cause of many knock-on effects for people who, unlike Tony Abbott and his cronies, don’t have that top job. There appears to be a kind of landlord mafia whereby a handful of real estate agencies throughout Australia seem to set the prices. Negative gearing seems

to support this malpractice as it allows people to invest in a second home for pure income purposes, many expecting the rent to pay their mortgages entirely. How many people are going to become homeless, desperate and in dire straits because of the government’s lack of responsibility or care? Compounding this problem is the government’s policy of selling prime agricultural land and real estate to overseas interests because they pay more, sending our jobs to China because workers there can be paid less and exploited more, causing factories and businesses to close down within Australia. To add insult to injury Centrelink wants people to apply for numerous jobs that just aren’t there. Janine Da Silva Middle Pocket

On the 70th anniversary of Hiroshima it might be opportune to reflect on the nature of terrorism. The dropping of two atomic bombs on Japanese cities in 1945 is often described as a war crime, which it certainly was, but I regard them not only as acts of terrorism but probably the worst single acts of terrorism ever committed. Apparently the entire edifice of American (and Australian?) anti-terrorism legislation and infrastructure has been constructed without at any point defining what terrorism actually means. They get around this by defining particular groups as ‘designated terrorist organisations’ or suchlike, and prosecuting those who materially support

said groups. Unfortunately such a lack of definition allows certain Muslim groups to claim that western military intervention in the Middle East is itself terrorism – a proposition I regard as absurd, but which no doubt resonates with some Muslims. How about this: An act of terrorism consists of violence carried out indiscriminately against a civilian population for the purpose of putting political pressure on government. Japan in mid-1945 was already negotiating surrender and was holding out for favourable terms. The Americans dropped their bombs knowingly on civilians in order to hasten the surrender – and to demonstrate their new toy to the Russians, of course,

ie to terrorise them. Some American nerd promoting his topical book on the Hiroshima event said on TV the other night that one needs to put it in perspective because the Japanese had killed at least ten million in China alone. Oh well, that’s all right then. I suppose one might as well point out that American bombers had by mid1945 flattened over 60 Japanese cities by firebombing, ie by deliberately setting fire to Japan’s wooden suburbs. In that context nuking them was only a minor escalation, a more efficient method. No need to get too excited then, eh. Fast Buck$ Coorabell

The Cancer Council of NSW has developed a fun concept for the main fundraiser this year. The event, loosely based on the TV concept for the show Dancing with the Stars is being held at a gala charity event on Saturday September 5 at the Byron Theatre (Byron Community Centre). Each contestant is sponsored by a local business and mentored by a dance instructor. ‘The Stars’ are responsible for raising funds through donations and many of them are also organising separate fundraising events to help raise even more funds for this worthy cause. It takes dedication and commitment to be a Star of Byron of Shire. Here they are in this feature in all their glory. Donate to your favourite star or attend a fundraising event and help make this the best event the Cancer Council of NSW has ever held in Byron Shire!

+ EL BARI FL AMENCO DANCE SCHOOL Dance Teacher: Louise Robinson – 0400 859 867 Star: Phil Preston – Mullumbimby Chamber of Commerce I fell in love with flamenco many years ago. I teach children and adults on the Gold Coast and in Byron Bay and over the years have made many wonderful friends through our shared love of flamenco. Flamenco is full of passion, strength and control. The wonderful Phil has embraced the whole experience flamenco offers and has been a great sport. What could possibly go wrong when you ask a fireman to dance at a ball?

+ FUNKY MOVES DANCE STUDIO Dance Teacher: Tori Jeftic 0408 412 788 Star: Hannah Logan – Byron Bay Police Having participated in workshops with Bangarra Dance Theatre, my passion for earthy Indigenous contemporary dance blossomed and encouraged me to study classical ballet to advanced levels. I have a passion for sharing my experience and love of dance and to create a fun, engaging and energetic environment – Funky Moves Dance Studio allows me to show this. Hannah is an amazing dance partner; we have so much fun together! The choreography is locked in, the music has been cut by the amazing Ella Pereira at SAE, and now all that’s leftt is to DANCE DANCE DANCE!

When:

Saturday 5 September 2015

Time:

Doors open at 6pm for 7pm start

Tickets:

$50.00 – Includes light food and drink on arrival

Guest MC: Ellen Briggs The Stars will fundraise for Cancer Council NSW in the lead up to the event so please support them in their endeavours to sparkle, shine and dance!

Dance Teacher: Greg Wilson 0400 438 038 Star: Michelle Hall – Byron Shire Echo After 13 years of rock ’n’ roll dancing I decided to share my skills with others and I’ve been teaching at Bangalow with Pauline Kinsella for the past two years. Four-step rock ’n’ roll is one of the easiest dance styles to learn and a great basis to move on to learning other styles. I have been working with Michelle who is having a blast! She has embraced everything that rock ’n’ roll is. Support us in our Dance for Cancer and come and enjoy a fantastic night out!

+ BANGALOW ROCKERS Dance Teacher: Pauline Kinsella 0400 438 038 Star: Russel Siwicki – Siwicki Real Estate I have been with Greg Wilson of Bangalow Rockers for the past two years. I try to create dance classes that are a fun, supportive learning environment. Four-step rock ’n’ roll is one of the easiest dance styles to learn and a great basis to move on to learning other styles. Bangalow Rockers welcomes all dancers and no partners are required. I enjoy teaching and dancing with Russel, I believe we will put on a great show on the night! Please support this event and the wonderful work of Cancer Council NSW!

+ MAKIN MOVES DANCE STUDIO Dance Teacher: Ruby Makin 0468 850 508 Star: Jenelle Stanford – Mullumbimby Newsagency Dancing has always been a part of my life and I always knew I wanted to share my love of dance with others. And this is exactly what I’ve been doing as a dance teacher for the past 10 years, teaching at Brunswick Valley School of Dance, Heart of Dance, Byron Bay Ballet Company and now at Makin Moves Dance Studio. I believe Jenelle has embraced everything that I have taught her and it is showing! I feel very fortunate to help her Dance for Cancer!

In addition, he has built up a considerable reputation as a broadcaster, devising and presenting many programs for Classic FM in the UK and the BBC. He also writes a regular, funny column for BBC Music magazine. The Orava Quartet

Two distinct locations, two unique experiences.

The opportunity to see Londonbased Australian pianist Piers Lane perform in the intimate and acoustically brilliant surrounds of the historic A&I Hall in Bangalow will be the pinnacle of an eclectic program. Featured artists include UK violinist Victoria Sayles; Australian tenor currently starring at The Met New York Alexander Lewis; internationally acclaimed classical guitarist Karin Schaupp; esteemed Australian pianist Daniel de Borah; up-and-coming operatic soprano Alexandra Flood; the imposing and peerless classical didgeridoo artist William Barton; the audacious and bold string group The Orava String Quartet; and acclaimed festival favourites Southern Cross Soloists.

pianist, conductor, writer and broadcaster, Rainer has performed on every major comedy stage in Britain and abroad.

After the outstanding success of the inaugural Coffee Concert in 2014, the festival is introducing an additional intimate event in 2015. Taking place in the sumptuous surrounds of the 5-star resort, the Byron at Byron, the special afternoon concert will include high tea and take place on Friday 14 August 4–6pm as a leisurely precursor to the evening’s events, and features one of Australia’s finest Spanish guitarists, Andrew Veivers, with special guests, in a program of sensuous flamenco and classical guitar music. Creative director Tania Frazer said, ‘Our BMF program this year has been inspired by Southern Cross Soloists’ 20th anniversary. Reaching the 20-year milestone as one of Australia’s leading chamber ensembles gives us great encouragement as we stand back and see how far we have grown over the last two decades. We have no plans to let up on the momentum as we plan for our next 20 years of enriching lives through connecting with audiences,

artists and communities through performance and education. In creating the 2015 Bangalow program I looked to the past and the future, while celebrating the present. One of last year’s highlights was the intimate coffee concert held at Zendfeldt’s Coffee Plantation and BMF will again join the wonderful folk at Zendfeldt’s for great coffee, wonderful music and intimate conversation, among the rolling hills of their plantation. This year, there will also be an optional Coffee Roaster tour. Continuing the tradition of past and present, for the second year the Bangalow Music Festival Fellowship Quartet will be featured as the 2015 Quartet in Residence. Selected from a national search for Australia’s most talented and up-and-coming ensembles, the Fellowship Quartet will perform alongside our festival artists throughout the weekend in small ensemble, soloist, and orchestral formations. Be the first to hear Australia’s most promising emerging quartet in various concerts throughout the festival.

for creating great tasting food that is vibrant, wholesome and nourishing. We are strong believers in the power of conscious food to help us live life fully and to heal many of the diseases created by poor food choices.’ Tucked away inside the Extreme Mixed Martial Arts gym on Centennial Circuit, Elements grew from Camargo’s market stall, which became so popular that the next step was obvious. ‘We’re [now] able to bring more to the health industry; I can add more and manage more, rather than just being a single [stall] at the market,’ he explains. Setting up shop in the industrial estate was a targeted move, given the myriad businesses based out there, and the limited access to healthy food. ‘We wanted to support the community around here,’ Camargo says. ‘It’s a business area; everyone is so busy, that they can’t really take the time to see what they put inside their body. So we’re trying to offer not fast food, but slow food, giving them the opportunity to come here, so we can look after them.’

The menu boasts such items as Savage Green Lasagna, with roasted zucchini and eggplant layered with green Napoli sauce and fresh mozzarella; the Sun Dancer, featuring Amazonia raw multi- and maqui-berry, blended with organic almond milk, mango, banana and blueberries, topped with activated gluten-free granola and fresh seasonal fruits; and hemp protein sticks, made with organic cacao butter, organic raw cacao, organic hemp protein, organic hemp seeds, organic coconut nectar and fine celtic salt. The shire is rife with organic food cafes, but Elements is a little different. ‘I’m from South America – Brazil – so I have that influence, which is what is making it unique, I think,’ Camargo says. ‘We’re putting our [own] touch into the little café.’ With plans to bring in local live music as well, Elements is a feast for all the senses.

Property

Lift this section out!

Buying rural land Rural land means land that is used or apparently intended to be used for gain or profit from grazing of livestock, dairying, poultry farming, viticulture, orcharding, beekeeping, horticulture, the growing of crops of any kind, and vegetable growing. Although your country ‘weekender’ may not have stock on it, the fact that it is apparently intended for such use would make it rural property under the law. Under the Property, Stock and Business Agents Act 2002, Real estate agents can act in the purchase or sale of rural properties up to 20 hectares in size. However, a licensed stock and station agent must handle properties over that size, and any livestock transactions. Before dealing with an agent, ask to see their licence and then call Fair Trading on 13 32 20 to check that it is current. Important issues to consider when buying rural land are: • The economic climate of the area. Is the land to be used for agriculture, commercial purposes or private use? • Check that the property has appropriate council approvals and council zoning for any external buildings, and any future development. • How close by are health and other services that you need? • What are the property taxes?

• Does the contract include any licences such as water usage? • What about accessibility of service utilities such as power and telecommunications? • Check for flood plains, areas with access problems, water problems. • Particularly check for any easements or rights of way that may be through the property. Even though they may have not been used for some time, their use by others can affect your rights as well. • Check that effective controls are in place and work has been maintained to control noxious pests on the land, such as rabbits and noxious weeds. Eradicating these can be costly. • If looking for undeveloped land, check the following: • Water tables, depth, quality and reliability. • Proximity of utilities and costs to bring them to the land / property and for installation and maintenance. • Country road maintenance and accessibility in adverse climate conditions.

CLEARING SALES If buying a property, ensure exactly what is being sold to you along with the property. Many owners of rural land, when selling, conduct a ‘clearing sale’, during which farm and household implements are auctioned. While these auctions are commonly conducted by the agent selling the property, the conduct of clearing sales is not a standard activity of agents, and any funds paid to the agent in trust for the owner of the goods are not protected by the Property Services Compensation Fund. Many sales are conducted on a cash-only basis.

SETTLEMENT During the conveyancing process of purchasing rural land, any unpaid or outstanding expenses relating to the property, such as rates and utility fees, are identified. These amounts become part of the calculation of the final figure which the purchaser is required to pay at the time of settlement. These are pro-rated so the vendor pays any amount owing for the period up until the date of settlement, and the purchaser pays any amount owing for the period after settlement. This information is sourced from the NSW Fair Trading website.

Property in Focus

Beachfront New Brighton Beach – a seaside village situated in the heart of the Byron Shire, nestled between the river and pristine un-spoilt beach, a relaxed peaceful setting, approximately 25 minutes to the Gold Coast international airport, 15 minutes to Byron Bay, 45 minute drive to designer shopping on the Gold Coast and 1½ hrs drive to Brisbane offers easy access to a capital city and the rest of the world, but yet so far detached when you are living on a beachfront. Picture waking up, grabbing the surfboard, walking over your own dune to check the waves and go for a surf. If there are no waves? Maybe a walk to collect your thoughts, watch the sunrise, perhaps some yoga on the dunes, a fish, or take the dog for a walk. Yes it’s one of the few dog-friendly beaches left. Finished relaxing in the water or on the beach? Retreat back home and stroll to the Yum Yum Tree for a coffee and some first class brekky. Back home for a siesta on the verandah, then let the romance begin with an intimate evening stroll with your loved one on your unspoilt, unpopulated beach while the sun sets. Time to grab a towel nestle up on the dunes together with a drink of choice and watch the moon rise over the ocean. Are you getting the picture? Can you visualise the dream? The opportunity is knocking right now! To secure this special piece of paradise, but not for long, the sellers of this beachfront brick home with big open running verandahs with whitewater views, 2 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms, huge downstairs area and a true beachfront are offering it to the market and are looking for expressions of interest. If you have been dreaming of a beachfront property and the lifestyle that comes with it then please call me Peter Browning 0411 801 795 for more information or to inspect. Address: 6 River Street, New Brighton Details: 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 car spaces. Enquiries: Peter Browning 0411 801 795 LJ Hooker Brunswick Heads

Buying into a strata scheme putes or required by legislation, orders, minutes of meetings, accounting records, financial statements, correspondence received and sent, notices of meetings, details of proxies, voting papers • plans, specifications, certificates, diagrams and other documents if supplied by the original builder at the first annual general meeting • the certificate of title for the common property • the last financial statements • current insurance policies and the receipt for the last premium paid • other records held by the owners corporation, and • records or books of account kept by a strata managing agent.

What is a strata scheme? A strata scheme is a building or collection of buildings that has been divided into ‘lots’. Lots can be individual units/apartments, townhouses or houses. When a person buys a lot, they own the individual lot and also share the ownership of common property with other lot owners. Common property generally includes things like gardens, external walls, roofs, driveways and stairwells. Strata living can provide a friendly communitystyle environment but differs from living in a freestanding house. Some activities may be more restricted – for example, where you can park your car or how you can renovate your lot. It is important for people to be aware of the responsibilities and obligations.

How do I get a Section 109 certificate? If you are an owner, or you have an owner's, mortgagee's or covenant chargee's written permission, you may write to the owners corporation and ask for a section 109 certificate. The treasurer of the owners corporation must give the certificate under the owners corporation seal. The certificate must be on the set form used in the Strata Scheme Managefor the coming year and the executive committee ment Regulation 2010 – Schedule 8.

What would I actually own in a strata scheme? One major difference between owning a house and a unit in a strata scheme (or ‘lot’) is that the external walls, the floor and roof do not usually belong to the lot owner. These areas are usually common property, which means that the maintenance and repair of these parts of the building are the responsibility of the owners corporation. As it is common property, the lot owner cannot alter or renovate these areas without permission from the owners corporation. Lot owners may need permission to do things such as install services (eg. cable television, phone or internet), knock down walls or replace locks on doors or windows. In most strata schemes, the lot owner owns the inside of the unit but not the main structure of the building. Usually the four main walls, the ceiling, roof and the floor are common property. The internal walls within the lot (eg the wall between the kitchen and lounge room), floor coverings such as carpet and fixtures such as baths, toilet bowls and bench tops are all the property of the lot owner. Effectively, a lot owner generally owns the ‘airspace’ (and anything included in the airspace) inside the boundary walls, floor and ceiling of the lot. Airspace can also extend to balconies and courtyards. You should get proper advice about ownership of such things as a tree in the courtyard or the responsibility to maintain a pergola covering a balcony or courtyard. They could be in your airspace and, therefore, would be maintained at your cost. You should also check whether things like car spaces or gardens are part of your lot. If they are, you will be responsible for their maintenance.

Owners corporation and executive committee The owners corporation is an incorporated body made up by all the owners in the strata scheme. The owners corporation also has an executive committee able to make certain decisions on its behalf.

FINDING KEYES

His evocative songwriting captures time and place as effortlessly as a smoothcornered orange-toned Kodak print, telling the story of Redfern how it used to be. Perry reminisced back to his first guitar, laughing at the irony of the cliche. ‘It’s always how guitarists say they got their guitar!’ ‘I would have been about 14 when I got a guitar from a pawn shop. It was a present from my grandmother – it’s archetypal, but it’s pretty much exactly what happened.

‘I learnt how to play it a bit and started making up songs and started to get good enough to get into bands; that didn’t happen. So I put my own bands together and started playing around the inner city of Sydney.’ Starting out Keyes mimicked what he loved. He wrote songs about trying to meet girls in secondhand versions of The Velvet Underground, or Elton John.

‘You start off mimicking all the stuff you like,’ says Keyes. ‘I was pretty eclectic as a kid. I actually remember when I found out what I wanted to write about. There is a council pool in Botany and I used to catch the bus out there when I was about 16. I hopped on the 309 for Circular Quay and I thought, I am going to write a song about everything I see between here and the city. I like movies by John Ford and Martin Scorcese, I love the shifts in perspective, but that it’s always told in the same place with different types of people.’ Keyes reflects on everyday stories of struggle and hardship of a faded Sydney, a Sydney a little less fabulous than it is now. ‘There is a song called 1982, which is pretty well word for word what happened and I was doing a show the other night and I laughed and realised that I am the only one of the three people in that song that are still alive. A song like that when you hear

the voices of people that aren’t there to tell their stories. I like a song that I am able to tell that in – that is the story of this person, that album is the story of those people – the people who weren’t here to tell their story.’ While Keyes certainly tells the stories from his past he is careful not to become a nostalgia junkie. ‘I have to be careful with looking back; you don’t want it to be too sentimental or just nostalgic for the sake of it.’ Although he picked up the guitar at 14, Keyes didn’t make his first album until the ripe old age of 38. ‘It was surprising – I didn’t expect that to happen and I am still surprised that I have made albums. Songwriting was something I like to do; playing bands and shows was a social endeavour, so it was something I did anyhow. If I stopped making records now I would keep writing songs regardless just because it’s what I have always loved doing.’ Perry Keyes plays the Rails on Saturday.

MULLUM MUSIC FESTIVAL: WHERE YOU BELONG Proving ‘Bigger ain’t necessarily Better’ Mullum Music Festival director Glenn Wright has dedicated himself to building an event based on community, connection and collaboration.

This year Mullum Music Festival boasts the most international lineup to date with acts from Canada, New Zealand, Germany, UK, Ireland, Kenya and Zimbabwe coming together with the cream of the alternative Aussie industry for a four-day genre-defying global gumbo that cooks up alt country, folk, indie, roots, jazz, blues and more.

I think there are many preconceived ideas about how a festival should be run, and we actually don’t follow any of those thoughts. We do what makes sense for us, and what we feel the people that come to this festival want. I think that philosophy works for every decision we make.

There are many other examples where I feel we got it right this year, with a synergy to the programming, maybe more so than previously. To me the program is fresh, feels new and still has that synergy of artist.

For instance, the first year we planned the street parade everybody said to me it wouldn’t work at 10.30 on a Sunday morning. This seemed like a challenge to me, so we proceeded and had about six weeks of rehearsals with local musicians every Tuesday evening. Everybody that lives in Mullum got to hear us rehearse each week, and somehow word of mouth spread and everybody got excited about the street parade. We actually got the route incorrect in the festival brochure so people were running around madly at 10am on Sunday trying to work out where the parade would start. We ended up with about 1,000 people on Dalley Street, and since then the parade has grown. Musicians of the calibre of Vince Jones, Harry Angus, Hamish Stuart, Jojo Smith, and Nicky Bomba have all taken part on many occasions now. Tony Hughes from King Tide tells me the Mullum Festival is great, but it’s the street parade that is really special. Harry Angus is arranging a new tune for us this year and I have a great New Orleans funk tune to try out.

What is it about Mullum Music Festival that sets it apart?

What does a festival such as Mullum offer artists and punters that a bigger event may not?

The Echo spoke with festival director Glenn Wright about this year’s lineup. What were the big wins for you programming this year’s festival? I have long thought of Trinity Roots as the real keepers of the flame of Kiwi music. They are the band other bands respect, with almost a spiritual quality to what they do. This year we have Trinity Roots, Harry Angus and Arte Kanela..

I think it’s unpretentious, and it’s a festival where you can really discover new artists, or take the time to give new styles of music a go. It’s fun and community minded. I think it’s a festival where you can get lost in music and forget the time of day, or even the day. A friend of mine actually commented to me that the festival is like one very big lounge room and I’ve invited all my music friends over for the weekend and they just stayed, and we party all weekend. I like that thought. How important is it for artists to collaborate – how do festivals like Mullum offer unique opportunities to do just that? It’s everything, and what makes Mullum Music Festival so special for me. This is the last year Harry Angus will be our patron and he has programmed an amazing lineup at his beloved Village Vanguard. These are all his music friends and its very special. Also Mary Cannon has been instrumental on a local level, always combining talented local artists with high-profile guests from out of town. Then there are obvious friendships that exist and some that start at Mullum Festival. What’s really cool is that the artists get to stay in the town for three or four days and over that time they get opportunities to get up with colleagues. That’s very different from a fly-in-fly-out style of festival. Tell me about some of the more collaborative offerings this year…

Harry Angus is putting together a tribute to Nina Simone with guests, as well as his nightly Jazz Party set at the Village Vanguard. Possibly the most exciting news is Harry is planning a piano bar this year and we have confirmed Olli McGill will be coming up from Melbourne to be a resident of the bar. It’s going to be a place that musicians can collaborate and have some real fun.

Elsewhere in the festival Greg Sheehan will be guesting with Kenyan musician Majiwa, and Lucie Thorne and Jojo Smith will be in the same town for 48 hours, so I’m sure they will do something together. Also Alex from Tinpan Orange heard the Dustyesky performance at Bellingen and was impressed. He will be guesting with the group in Mullum. Arte Kanela will be around for two days and I’m sure they will do something at the Village Vanguard. The Mid North have been confirmed and their collaborations with Starboard Cannons are becoming a highlight of every festival we do. It’s kind of Mullum versus Bello in a weird finger-picking mud fight. There will be much more than mentioned. With headliners Ron Sexsmith, Trinity Roots, Ben Ottewell, Robert Forster, The Californian Honey Drops and a whole lot more.

How do you finish an email without sounding like a nong? For years I have been ending my emails with ‘cheers, Mandy’. I don’t necessarily like it. I just can’t think of anything better. It’s not like I’d run into someone in the street, have a chat and then leave them with a high five and a cheers! ‘Cheers’ does feel a bit like the high five sign-off of the electronic world. You wouldn’t apply for a job and then sign off with ‘cheers Mandy Nolan’. If I read that I would think ‘clearly Mandy Nolan is an idiot’. When you think about it, ‘cheers’ is stupid. It implies I am sitting at my computer with a beer toasting everyone I send an electronic blurt to. In reality I am

covered in spray tan, drinking tea. Cheers has been and always will be a compromise. I don’t really like anyone to tell me to cheer up, but I settled on cheers after an internal argument with myself about what was the most appropriate sign-off for an email. There’s not really that much on offer and in the scheme of things, Cheers sounded bright and happy and positive. There’s an upbeat tone that says ‘not trying to be a pain in the butt or confrontational. I’m in a good mood. I’m happy to help. I’m working with ya, buddy. Hey, I’m a nice person. A go-getter. I’m not attached to your response.’ It’s hard to reject someone who signs off with a ‘cheers’ because

NEVER CAN SAY GOODBYE it’s informal and it feels like they are your friend. I particularly like sending a bitchy email and then a ‘cheers’ at the end. Sort of takes the sting out of a confrontation. Cheers is daggy but it seems appropriate for a comedian. As a comedian I can’t be signing off with ‘regards Mandy Nolan’. ‘Regards’ is far too formal. Like I’ve suddenly decided to send an email from the 1950s. Before the internet. Regards? That means, sending my fond wishes. Seems a bit over the top for an email, unless I’m sending an invoice to Jane Austen. I just worry that Cheers holds me back from being taken seriously. I am a 47-year-old woman, signing off with an informal greeting

followed by an exclamation mark. Cheers! Like I’m so excited by the communication. Like I can’t wait to hear back. Sounds so desperate. Like I need to be liked.

I wish I had the confidence to just write my name like some people do. They just write the message and then put their name at the end like they’re so busy they can’t be bothered to sign off. It’s powerful, aloof and strangely businesslike and informal at the same time. I can’t help but think though that the person who signs off like that is a bit of a prick. What they are actually saying is, I’ve finished what I had to say, and have no interest or time for sending fond tidings or happy salutations.

For all I care you could drop dead on the receipt of this message in your inbox. And if you do I am glad I didn’t waste my Kind Regards on you. For people I like and feel comfortable with I don’t use cheers. Because it’s become too fake. I don’t actually mean it. I have come up with a compromise. I sign off by writing ‘xMandy’. That’s a kiss. Sometimes I write ‘xxMandy’ but that seems a bit over the top to me, Like I really, really, REALLY like you in a totally sexual and romantic way. If I put ‘xxxMandy’ you are in trouble. I have at times sent the wrong sign-off to the wrong person.

I accidentally signed off ‘xxMandy’ to a publicist the other day – who I only know from our occasional emails. He was previously on the ‘cheers’ roster. I noticed in the email response he signed off with xxShaun. Shit, I’ve started something. Now if I just write back cheers or even xMandy he’ll think he’s done something. If I persist with the xxMandy he’ll want to escalate it to xxxShaun. I’m a happily partnered woman. ‘xxxMandy’ is like cheating. It means I’ll have to up John’s ‘x’ quota to xxxxMandy. That’s just stupid. And it’s too symmetrical. I would have to do five kisses as I don’t like four. And then I’m sending a message that I’m some pathetic needy romantic who passed out on the ‘X’ key. Oops, got to go, Shaun’s at the door. Cheers! Mandy x.

Undefinable and expansive, Little May’s sound is created by age-old friends Annie Hamilton, Liz Drummond and Hannah Field, who in 18 short months have acquired almost two million Soundcloud plays, three million Spotify streams and whose debut EP has made its way into the ears of fans and tastemakers far beyond their Sydney home. Hamilton recounts how the three first met. ‘We basically all went to the same schools at different times times. We started the band in 2012 – I had been playing guitar for a while by myself and I didn’t know many people who were keen to join a band. I heard that

Liz was playing. So she joined the band and then we asked Hannah. It really weird; we got together because we are all friends and it could have been crazy. I guess it’s lucky we really did click.’ The girls’ sudden success took them by surprise. ‘It was very strange,’ says Annie. ‘Even before we put the EP out, we just released independently on Soundcloud and then we had the Hype Machine pick us up, and then suddenly we had blogs overseas! We had only played gigs in Sydney and then only to our friends and parents most of the time…’ Last year the girls travelled to

‘We ended up recording in New York. It was amazing – the whole experience was absolutely surreal. ‘We recorded the first part of the album in upstate New York in Hudson – this small town. It was freezing cold living in a rickety old house from the 50s and we were recording in an old church that had been converted into a studio – it was a huge space – and working with Aaron Dessner from the Nationals. It was amazing, he really helped pull it all together. I guess because we have so many differences, we find it hard to define our genre; they would say we are folk but we don’t feel like

a folk band or a pop or rock band – we were confused about what to go for, to go for variety or one sound, and Aaron was so helpful in getting us stripping away all the stuff from the songs that we had put in there for the sake of it and getting down to the fundamental part of the song. In one song we had a couple of verses and end section and we took out the end section because the best part is the first verse and then back to the start again. Aaron got us focused on using just the best parts of the song. Little May are one of the featured acts at Falls Festival this year.

MAKING RECORDS ON THE HEARTWORN HIGHWAY

Good question. Well mainly it had to do with our stubbornness in recording the way we did and not wanting to take any shortcuts that would dismiss our intentions. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a reason people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do things the old way any more: itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot quicker, more efficient and cost effective to go digital. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a guidebook on how to do it everywhere you look, not to mention every second muso has a pretty decent home studio setup these days. Every step we took was a huge learning

curve, and that meant time. Now that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done it though, we have the tools and the knowhow. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special about this one, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our first crack, and because of the span of time you can hear the band develop on the album from two-piece to four -piece. Â

â&#x20AC;˘

over the top gracefully. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so nice to work with musicians like Al and Maria who have such strong musical foundations. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just second nature for them.Â Â Â Â

Sure she’s slowed down a little, but the music, just keeps coming ‘Since the family came along the actual performing part has slowed down quite considerably because it’s just too hard to be away from your children on the road, and when they are so little you just don’t want to be dragging them from town to town. I keep the fire alight by still writing and I still managed to put out one album in between all of them (Lovegrass) but I didn’t do a lot of touring at the time.’

your kids. I love performing at festivals because rather than being on the road for days and days I can bring the family along and they get to see what I do.’ While Storer’s life is very family focused, she’s mindful that her songs look beyond the domestic front.

It was something Storer regretted, as she is well aware of how much her country fans want a live show and how much that feeds a new album.

‘I have a few songs that mention the kids. I get really worried I am going to fill an album talking about my children. I write about personal experiences so I guess it’s only natural there are a few lines here and there. I normally need a story when I write. Something to really write about. If I don’t have something to write about it’s a bit pointless.’

‘I was really disappointed that I didn’t tour Lovegrass. It was a good album; I was really torn. It’s a hard line doing all this work and not touring it but you just have to balance everything. I have a supportive husband, and it’s a matter sometimes of being brave enough to do it. You worry you won’t be there enough for

Storer is currently working towards an album in September. ‘Today is my songwriting day. I have an au pair who looks after the kids all day and I go off and write. It’s a a real challenge because I am not disciplined like that. I will have three ideas in my head and I will just start one and if it happens then great. I

don’t normally write from titles. I need to have a feel, or to know it. I need realness – some country artists can sit around the table and come up with ideas, like how about writing a song about a bloke with dust on his boots, but I need to hear the sound of rain on the tin roof! ‘I love writing about rural things and rural stories about people from the land. Those songs draw so many images; I prefer it to just writing about emotions. The album I am writing now seems a bit personal again, like Silver Skies was. But I am creating a whole other adventure.’ Sara Storer will be headlining at the Murwillumbah Country Roots Festival, 2–5 October, joined by her brother Greg Storer. ‘He’s a brilliant writer. I think he’s better than I am,’ she says. ‘I have even stolen his songs and used them on albums because he’s so good!’ For tickets or information go to mcrfest.com.

Unity takes an in-depth look at what it truly means to be human, to be mortal, and to be incarnate in this world. With its message about compassion and reverence for all life, Unity is also a plea for the end of cruelty to humans and animals, and humanity’s hopeful transformation from living by killing into living by loving. It is a unique film about caring for all beings and going beyond all ‘separation based on form’. We live in the least violent time in history – why do you think we often perceive it as the ‘most’ violent? Every new age or generation could claim it’s the ‘most’ violent time. But since we weren’t there in the past during other violent times (for example, I’m sure those living during WWII would say it was, without a doubt, the

most violent time in history), comparing isn’t really possible. Most violent, least violent, it’s all a completely arbitrary positionality. Why do you think religion is so often the root cause of so much violence and conflict?

I don’t feel it is the root cause. Humanity versus religion is only an excuse we use. And if that excuse doesn’t work, we use politics. And if that doesn’t work we use money, or territory, or sexual orientation, etc. Do you think money is as the adage says ‘the root of all evil’? Is change possible in a financial system that relies on perpetual growth? How can this ever align with the ‘sustainable’ practice required immediately to reduce climate change? I believe it’s on the individual level, not a systemic level. All one has to do is work on oneself. Frankly, it’s all one CAN do. Can films change anything? Or are you documenting a shift in consciousness? Has our consciousness started to shift?

Is our capacity to suffer intrinsic to our humanity? I mean, without it, would we have ever had art or music or films? Van Gogh? Cobain? Woolf? Wouldn’t Living in Love eradicate art as we know it – just a bunch of people holding hands singing Kumbayah? A landscape is one of the most beautiful images the eyes can behold. No angst required to ‘create’ it. Besides so much of what we call art is more miscreation than creative. Suffering needn’t be a prerequisite. Does the reality that we all evolved from the one ‘speck’ still make us the same? It makes no difference – evolution or creation? Life is multitudinous.

ARIES: Liberating chain-breaker Uranus retrograde

Stars

The triad of Sun, Mars and Venus in the sign of passionate activity suggest laying out the good, the bad and the unresolved on life’s table and simply celebrating all of their multicoloured glory…

in Aries brings assistance this week to cut ties with the past and say final goodbyes to certain self-defeating habit patterns – which your ruler Mars in fiery, dramatic Leo is likely to orchestrate through illuminating eureka moments of insight and enlightenment.

TAURUS: A great week for home renos, redecorating or just generally gussying up the casa. These projects won’t be without vivid differences of opinion, in which your call is to channel the Hindi concept of leela, or divine play, and make household dramas into a game. Plus cut expenses by getting creative.

GEMINI: This week’s explosion of ideas activate Gemini’s personal nemesis: multiple choice. Fortunately Mercury in Virgo helps you pull focus to discriminate between the bold and beautiful, the wild and wonderful, the useful and do-able. Time to (shock horror!) make a commitment to what makes your heart sing. And then stick to it.

CANCER: Like all of us, you travelled a long way down memory lane while the sun was in your sign; now it’s time to make some changes: repair, repay, restore and renew. If you’re feeling a tad picky and critical, just get over it in time for late-week new moon’s unexpected pleasures.

LEO: With Mars sweeping Venus off her feet in Leo it’s showtime, majesties! It’s your party, and no surprise your stock’s well and truly on the rise. Lateweek Leo new moon invites you to put something close to your heart at the top of your wish list for the coming year.

SAGITTARIUS: Jupiter moving into your career zone for the first time in twelve years is an important transit for Sagittarians. It strongly suggests that major benefits are available from re-examining your way of relating in intimate situations, engaging with the unfamiliar, mastering something close to your heart and widening your world view.

VIRGO: If life’s recently been less outward achievement, more inner journey of connection with your own central source, Saturn’s finally crystallised its introspective ripening for you to take this new serenity into everyday life. Just as Mercury and midweek Jupiter press the start button on a new, upbeat cycle of growth and expansion…

LIBRA: Venus is recommending a retrospective. Retrograde transits are about reconnection, exploration and rediscovery of a piece of your past – clearing emotional backlog, refining heart history, restoring the joyful shine that gets dulled in all of us by life’s repetitions. Note to self: Old friendships may be resuscitated along the way.

SCORPIO: For some Scorps this week signals a significant life change. Now Saturn’s finished honing a newer, maturer you, Mars in Leo stimulates those professionally competitive business hormones. Jupiter moving into Virgo and Venus revisiting your career zone both test your ability to negotiate in a responsible, realistic, honest and user-friendly fashion.

CAPRICORN: With Jupiter entering your zone of evolutionary growth, doors of change and windows of opportunity open – but they require some sacrifice of old habits, ingrained ways of behaving. One start-up technique to liberate yourself from you-against-them thinking is appreciating other people’s uniqueness and celebrating their singularity – vive la difference!

AQUARIUS: Retrograde periods give us breathing space to integrate changes and begin to comprehend their potential. Venus returning to your house of relationships insists two heads are better than one. And Uranus wants you examining mistakes so you don’t get stuck in Groundhog Day repeats of the same stuff over and over again.

PISCES: Pisceans, bless their shiny scales and swishy tails, are prone to confusing their feelings and opinions with facts. This week’s Venus helps to clear crossed wires, and remind you that happiness comes from making everyday actions and routines special – that ordinariness, order and organisation can actually be highly satisfying.

GANG OF YOUTHS AT THE BYRON BREWERY ON TUESDAY North Coast news daily: www.echonetdaily.net.au

Trail of Dead formed as a quartet in late 1994, with key members Conrad Keely and Jason Reece remaining the staple of the band’s lineup ever since. The band’s 20th anniversary tour has been traversing the world throughout 2015 with headline dates and festivals across North America and Europe. Joining Trail of Dead for all dates are art-rock legends The Red Paintings, who return for a national Australian tour for

the first time in two years. After a stunning set supporting Mogwai at this year’s Adelaide Festival, the band will continue their ambitious world tour in support of debut album The Revolution Is Never Coming with their first New Zealand shows in nine years, since their debut international shows playing sold out dates alongside The Dresden Dolls in 2006. Expect further collaborations on this rare art-rock showcase across the continents. At the Hotel Great Northern on Sunday.

ATMOSPHERE OF LANDSCAPE

R O

Those of us lucky enough to live on the north coast of NSW understand why artists are inspired by the natural world. Nature’s spectacle provides an unlimited source of inspiration that all of us at some point have played witness to, those moments when a crisp early morning sunlight skips across the sprawling fields of pastoral grasslands dotted with wild daisies like a tide of spectral light, or a physically tangible heat reflects off the coastal landscape to create a translucent mirror-like veil seemingly through mid-air.

JEWELLERY COURSES

CURRENT EXHIBITIONS 18 JULY – 5 SEPTEMBER

Live your dream and learn how to create your own jewellery or advance your skills to the next level. Award-winning jeweller Chris Gortz shares his experience of more than 40 years and brings out the best from absolute beginners to advanced jewellery makers. All tuitions are strictly one on one. Classes run for a week (5 days) and are individually tailored.

The Rennie Ellis Show highlights some of the defining images of Australian life from the 1970s and 80s. This exhibition of 100 photographs provides a personal account of what Ellis termed ‘a great period of change’. The photographs explore the cultures and subcultures of the period, and provide a strong sense of a place that now seems a world away; a world free of risk, of affordable inner-city housing, of social protest, of disco and pub rock, of youth and exuberance. A travelling exhibition presented by the Rennie Ellis Photographic Archive and Monash Gallery of Art with support from the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria. Also showing: G-Click is a photographic exhibition presenting the many perspectives of Goonellabah through the eyes and lenses of young people attending programs with Northern Rivers Social Development Council (NRSDC) from the Computer Clubhouse.

COMEDY ON THE FRONT BERNER AT CLUB LENNOX Peter Berner is without doubt one of Australia’s most popular and respected media entertainers, standup comics and corporate performers.

Triple M’s extraordinary faith in Peter’s unique talent as this was a ‘solo’ show – very rare in the world of FM radio. The show proved to be a ratings winner and continued into 2009. Saturday 29 August at Club Lennox. Tickets are $65 and include a 2-course meal and are available at clublennox. com.au and at the club. Limited tickets with a kick off at 6.30pm. For show enquiries call 6687 4313.

Australia knows Berner as host for ABC TV’s BackBerner and Einstein Factor (all up he has presented more than 300 hours of national television program content!).

YOUTUBE SECRETS REVEALED!

It’s all too easy to have a knee-jerk reaction to the mere mention of Judd Apatow’s name. As an apparent mentor to those enrolled in the massively if unfortunately popular school of grunge comedy (ie, how many times can you fit fuck into any sentence?), he will surely never live down his involvement with the execrable Bridesmaids and the equally awful Get Him To The Greek. To be fair, however, as director of The 40 Year-Old Virgin, Apatow exposed a pleasing hint of sentiment and in this at times erratic but ultimately heart-warming movie he lets it flow like a river of gold. Bouquets for this should also be lavished on its star, Amy Schumer, who also happened to write the screenplay. If not your typical rom-com leading lady – she is a porker with a double chin, for starters – Schumer is so effortlessly ‘natural’ that it is impossible to not be onside with her. She plays a journo on a sensationalist celebrity mag in NYC. As a good-time gal, she’s had countless lovers without ever feeling the need to commit

TRAINWRECK

to any relationship – the words of her Lothario father, ‘monogamy is unrealistic’, are echoed in her lifestyle. Assigned by her hard-as-nails editor (Tilda Swinton) to write a piece on the less worldly Aaron (Bill Hadder), a leading sports doctor, Amy soon finds herself romantically entwined with her subject. Because he can’t help himself, Apatow indulges in tedious gags about dicks and tampons – a sex scene with Amy and the muscle-bound Steven (John Cena) is terribly long and leaden – but Schumer’s atypical character goes much deeper than just challenging the body-image stereotype. Ridiculous to say, but I was blinking back the tears at one point before laughing like a drain at the rollicking set-piece that delivers the happy ending which is demanded of the genre but too often arrived at with dollops of treacle. Colin Quinn is terrific as Amy’s un-PC dad and basketball superstar LeBron James, as himself, does a nice turn in self-deprecation.

LAST CAB TO DARWIN

Euthanasia is a difficult subject, but it is dealt with openly and without moralistic brow-beating in this light-hearted but certainly not frivolous movie. Director Jeremy Sims’s dramedy has been adapted from the stage play by Reg Cribb, which in turn was based on a true story. Suffering with terminal cancer, Rex (Michael Caton), a cab driver in Broken Hill, has been given three months to live. Not wishing to die in hospital, he decides to drive to Darwin where a law has been passed that will allow him to painlessly end his days. He leaves behind Polly (Ningali Lawford), his Aboriginal neighbour and unacknowledged partner, his dog and a bunch of drinking mates. First stop on his road trip is Oodnadatta, where he picks up the ne’er do well Tilly (Mark Coles Smith). Caton is one of Australia’s finest actors and his partnership with the irrepressible, lairy Smith is at the film’s vibrant heart. Julie (Emma Hamilton), the cute English barmaid, meets the pair at Daly Waters and

joins them on their journey north. The seriousness of Rex’s condition and his wilful response to it is the brooding constant as the yellow cab nears its fateful destination. Hindsight is priceless, for none of us can be certain at the time of making our choices that they are the ones that truly reflect our needs. The further Rex travels along his road, the more clearly he begins to see what put him on it. Likewise for the young Tilly, who has never bothered to own up to himself and take responsibility for his actions – both men come to understand that, like the song says, ‘we all need someone we can lean on’. Finally in Darwin, at the practice of Dr Farmer (Jacki Weaver), Rex is hooked up to the computerised gizmo that will relieve him of his sorrows – it is a replica of the machine designed, and utilised, by Philip Nitschke. A lovely, soulful movie, with a finely understated performance by Caton, not least of all because he really looks sick.

46 August 12, 2015 The Byron Shire Echo

Byron Bay Rugby Union suffered a tough loss on the weekend at the hands of the Wollongbar Alstonville Pioneers. Byron headed into the match on an 8-game winning streak but were simply outclassed by the Pioneers on the day. The Bay got off to a strong start when front-rower Jack Elborn found the line from the back of a rolling maul after a beautifully executed set piece from the line out. The kick was converted and the Byron crowd and players seemed confident of a strong showing. The Bay continued to press forward and were showing promise with a number of lengthy phases; however, a yellow card to Byron fullback James Oakley shifted the momentum in Wollongbar’s favour and after scoring a comeback try, the Pioneers didn’t look back. A further two yellow cards in the first

half didn’t help the Bay’s cause as Wollongbar began to rack up the points. As the half-time whistle blew the Pioneers had the lead at 32–7. The Bay kept on fighting in the second half but

the attacking prowess of the Pioneers proved too much as they scored a further three tries in the second half. A second try to Jack Elborn and a meat pie to Byron’s Captain Harvey Bell im-

proved the final score line but was not enough to pressure the reigning premiers. As the final whistle blew Wollongbar had defeated the Bay 54–17. Byron are looking to regroup this coming weekend as they host Ballina in an allimportant match for second place and a potential spot in the Major Semifinal. Crowd participation is a must as the Bay are playing in bright pink jerseys that are to be auctioned off at the end of the game with all proceeds donated to Breast Cancer Fundraisers. The event coincides with our ladies’ day, sponsors’ day, as well as celebrating the Bay’s ex-players so make sure you come on down to the free sporting spectacular and help raise some money for a good cause in the process. Tickets for ladies day cost $20 and includes drinks and food. Kick-off is at 3.15pm at Byron Rec Fields. Go The Bay!

Giants and Devils down curtain in style John Campbell

All good things come to an end – just ask Michael Clarke. For our two local footy teams, the 2015 NRRRL season drew to its sad close on a gorgeous Sunday arvo at the always immaculately presented Les Donnelly Field. Needing to win by about a hundred and have other results go their way to enter the play-offs, Byron Bay defeated Mullumbimby, themselves hoping to avoid an undeserved Wooden Spoon, to the tune of 32–22. What the game lacked in genuine significance, however, it made up for in wholehearted effort. It was a derby, after all – meaning that levity would not dominate proceedings. The MOB (Mullum Old Boys) saw to it that the bar staff were kept busy beforehand and a celebratory atmosphere infected the 3,265 estimated punters who turned up (figure courtesy of Stewart’s Menswear). Good cheer was further built on when the Giants’ prop, Josh ‘the Godfather’ Castallano, barged over in the third minute. But Mullum’s lead was short lived. A spate of tries to Jayden ‘Skin’ Garft and the Labradoodle, Fraser Jones, put the visitors ahead 16–4. With the men in red wearing a track down Mullum’s right-side de-

fence, a cricket score might have been on the cards (60 is not many, is it). The Giants didn’t see it that way and, as a team not shy of true grit, they came back hard at the Devils. Jack ‘Jethro’ Govett, one of the young Turks who will carry on Mullum’s tough, in-your-face ethic, crossed and his mate Sean ‘Connery’ Watkins was unlucky not to score soon after following a brilliant run from Louie ‘the Duke of ’ Earl. We knew we had a game on our hands at the break, with Byron ahead 16–8, but the Devils still looked good enough to get the bickies. Primarily, they were better at converting their opportunities into points – which is what they did early in the second forty when Reece ‘Bernie’ Purcell, Byron’s creative pivot, engineered a try for winger Joseph ‘Senator’ McCarthy. Joey ‘Flash’ Gordon, monstered by the ‘chewie on your boot!’ sledging from the blokes in the Shed, missed the conversion by a mile, but the game’s pattern was set – Byron, albeit stretched, would do enough. To nobody’s surprise, the Giants returned serve again, thanks to a try to nuggety half-back Wayde ‘Grace’ Kelly, and might have drawn even but for the ref too hurriedly blowing a penalty in

their favour just as they were diving over for another try – a classic case of premature ejaculation. For a moment it was anybody’s game, but the Devils’ Hayden ‘Rupert’ Rosenbaum capped what has been a stellar season for the unheralded full-back/winger by running the length of the field to reassert Byron’s superiority. Govett scored again through sheer determination – he is a potential leader of the pack – Rupert got anoth-

er and Mullum’s bustling second-rower, Todd ‘Buttercup’ Arthur, was rewarded for his unstinting contribution with a four-pointer at the death. The season may not have produced the outcomes hoped for by those involved on either side, but for those who came along to watch, I can only offer thanks to Ryan ‘the Crab’ O’Connell and Simon ‘the Big Pommie’ Moore and all their boys for a winter of terrific footy. See you next time… All proceeds to Byron Breast Cancer Clinic

Backlash Everybody needs a desk weasel: http://bit.ly/deskweasel. Q Q Q Q

The head of the NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) Megan Latham has refused to answer a parliamentary committee’s questions about why the corruption watchdog investigated top Crown prosecutor Margaret Cunneen, according to an ABC report. In April this year the High Court ruled that the ICAC had acted outside its powers when it investigated Ms Cunneen. To add to scrutiny of Ms Latham, in the same month footage appeared on YouTube of her demonstrating a rather alarming relish for the inquisitorial role of her profession. She tells a NSW Bar Association seminar for young lawyers, among things, that ‘If any of you get tired of adversarial litigation, inquisitorial litigation is fantastic. You are not confined by the rules of evidence. You have a free kick. You can go anywhere you want to go and it’s a lot of fun.’ And in answer to a question she notes that questioning a witness in an ICAC hearing is ‘like pulling wings off a butterfly’. See it here: http://bit.ly/meganspills Q Q Q Q

‘For Australia to be going to open the biggest new coal project in the world, it’s certainly running against history,’ suggests Tim Buckley from the Institute of Energy Economics and Financial Analysis in an ABC report on Commbank withdrawing from the beleaguered Adani mine project. It’s like, so socially embarrassing. We can’t go out to dinner with Norway any more. See the full report at http://bit.ly/commgone.

48 August 12, 2015 The Byron Shire Echo

Thanks to PRI www.pri.org, we simulated dropping the Hiroshima atomic bomb on Mullumbimby. Brunswick Heads is also toast. The windows in Huonbrook have shattered. Seventy years ago on August 6 the United States fried Hiroshima, established in 1589 and the first city ever to be nuked, directly killing an estimated 80,000 people, with radiation and injury deaths bringing the total to over 100,000 by year’s end. The hope is ‘never again’ but climate change might get us first anyway.

Greg Hunt, the minister for scorning the environment, and the Queensland Labor government, will no doubt try to get the monstrous scheme back on track. We are ruled by people living in a lost age. In addition, we find out that executives of Shenhua, which wants that enormous coal mine on the Liverpool Plains, have come under investigation by Chinese authorities for corruption. Corruption haunts the whole project, and the NSW Farmers Federation has written to the state government calling for the company’s application to be rejected on the basis of the ‘fit and proper person’ test in the NSW Mining Act, introduced last December after ICAC found against Ian Macdonald and Eddie Obeid in relation to another mine approval.
