Land-clearing code ‘still risky’ despite changes www.echo.net.au/land-clearing-code-stillrisky-despite-changes/
Byron paid parking thrashed out – again Paid-parking plans again consumed last Thursday morning, with Councillors debating amendment upon amendment and lodging unexpected motions. The issue has split the controlling rightwing voting block of Crs Hunter, Woods, Ibrahim, Cubis and Wanchap. While Cr Hunter appears to have no doubts, Woods and Cubis seem reluctant and Ibrahim and Wanchap are against (Wanchap voted for while Crs Ibrahim and Cubis against). Mayor Richardson and Crs Cameron and Spooner were in favour while Cr Dey was absent. So what’s the latest? A ratepayer exemption fee of $50 per annum for fee-paying locals would now apply, down from the previous $100. A non-Shire resident worker/volunteer exemption fee of $100 per annum will also apply, with a report requested on establishing
costs, benefits and other criteria. Recognition was also made of the markets and their desire to stay on at Butler Street. Current plans would see the Butler Street reserve being developed as an ‘all day carpark, operating 6am to 6pm daily with an hourly rate of $3, up to a maximum of $20 all day.’ Cr Ibrahim told the chamber that previously he voted against the project and asked for more consultation but was outvoted. ‘Now we are finally starting to see how underdeveloped it is’. He spoke of the unknown impacts of Butler Street parking and the carpark spaces at the yet-to-bebuilt Mercato shopping centre. A foreshadowed motion by Cr Ibrahim for Council to wait until the bypass is completed before implementing paid parking was unsuccessful. For more, see Council’s advertisment on page 13.
GM rebuffs Echo story on EDO letter over rock wall Council’s general manager (GM) Ken Gainger is disputing last week’s story regarding due process over a legal letter sent to Council over its controversial rock wall project at Belongil. On behalf of non-government organisation Positive Change for Marine, a letter from the Environmental Defenders Office (EDO) has asked Council to provide an environmental impact study (EIS). The Echo understands the EDO requested a response by July 31 or an injunction may be filed. Mr Gainger contends due process was followed and the mayor was ‘aware of the letter (from a source other than Council) the following day (internal email from the mayor to staff on Wednesday July 29 confirmed), not the “end of the week” as The Echo reported.’ But Cr Paul Spooner told The Echo, ‘I am able to confirm that councillors were informed of the details of the EDO let-
ter in a confidential memo on August 6. At the time, it was indicated that Council was seeking legal advice regarding the issues raised by the letter.’ Mr Gainger continued, ‘As is usual with any matters of a legal nature, the EDO letter was immediately (upon receipt) referred to Council’s legal services co-ordinator for action.’
Complex legal issues ‘Because of the complex legal issues surrounding Belongil coastal protection matters, the legal services co-ordinator forwarded the EDO letter to Council’s Sydney-based lawyers for advice before responding to the EDO. Councillors were advised of this. ‘Contrary to The Echo’s suggestion, no Council meeting was ever contemplated or suggested for August 3 or 4 to deal with the
EDO letter. Contrary to The Echo report, the EDO letter did not go “disregarded”. It was dealt with promptly, legal advice was urgently sought, and the Council responded to the EDO, agreeing to give them 72 hours notice of construction work commencing at Belongil. The GM being off sick had no bearing on the EDO letter being promptly and appropriately dealt with. ‘It is not unusual for the council to be threatened with legal action – such threats are made regularly and are only occasionally proceeded with. It is usual for the council to seek advice on the veracity of legal matters before informing councillors. Due process was followed.’ In reply, The Echo contends that the mayor was quoted accurately and in good faith, specifically The Echo reported the mayor’s understanding of Council staff ’s response to the letter and whether a meeting was planned.

Bypass plans unlawful: EDO Plans to run a bypass up Butler Street have been met by a legal challenge from the Environmental Defenders Office on behalf of Butler Street residents. An extensive 78-page submission was lodged on deadline, which was Monday August 17. The EDO’s Nina Lucas claims that Council’s biobanking statement must be obtained before a DA is lodged, which she says was not the case. Biobanking is a relatively new mechanism for developers to offset the removal eco-
logically sensitive areas. The website for the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage says, ‘Credits can be used to offset the impacts on biodiversity values that are likely to occur as a result of development.’ Ms Lucas concludes, ‘The implications of this error are that the DA has not been made or exhibited in accordance with the requirements set out in the EPA Act and EPA Regulation.’ The Echo asked for comment from Council but did not recieve one by deadline.

Bill fails to stop north coast CSG Hans Lovejoy
Should the northern rivers be coal seam gasfield free? While both state MP Tamara Smith (Greens) and locally based upper house MLC Ben Franklin (Nationals) agree, there appears little agreement on how that should be achieved. A Greens bill entitled The Petroleum (Onshore) Amendment (Prohibit Coal Seam Gas) Bill 2015 was rejected in the upper house by the government last Thursday (16 for
and 19 against) with help from Nationals and the Shooters and Fishers Party. The bill was aimed at prohibiting CSG mining on the north coast but would have also placed a moratorium throughout the entire state. Another local MLC, Lennox Head-based Catherine Cusack (Liberal), also voted against the bill. In support of the Greens were Labor, the Animal Justice Party and Fred Nile’s Christian Democratic Party. The state-wide moratorium appeared to be the point of difference between the Greens and Nationals members Smith and Franklin. Mr Franklin told The Echo he ‘stridently supports a gasfield free northern rivers, but I want to see it done the right way.’ He said, ‘I am pushing within government towards an orderly and transparent process of buying back the licences. Part of this has been the successful purchase of 15 Petroleum Exploration Licences by the government, including two in the northern rivers. We have the runs on the board and are positive about more results in the northern rivers.’ A key vote needed to defeat the bill was from the Shooters and Fishers Party.
Its leader, Robert Borsak MLC, told The Echo that while his party support a gasfield free northern rivers and a state-wide moratorium, the Greens bill was a ‘stunt’.
Shut down mining ‘This bill would have given the Greens the ability to try to shut down all mining in NSW (which is their ultimate goal), costing tens of thousands of jobs and billions of dollars to the NSW and Australian economy. As part of our coal seam gas policy, the Shooters and Fishers also want the federal government to commit to a national gas reservation policy that will ensure Australian households have a constant and affordable gas supply.’ Another Shooters and Fishers MP, Robert Brown, told The Echo, ‘The bill was never going to pass,’ adding it was ‘appalling’ Greens MP Jeremy Buckingham brought people down from the northern rivers to support his bill. ‘It’s criminal to give people hope that the bill would pass,’ he said. And he’s no fan of Lock The Gate either, saying, ‘Our party supports property rights, but Lock The Gate want to lock everyone’s gate.’ Meanwhile Labor says it
will now push ahead with its own similar bill to halt CSG mining in the north coast and a state-wide moratorium. Labor’s Walt Secord told the chamber what his party is hoping to achieve with its bill. ‘Labor supports a permanent ban on the north coast and the special areas of the Sydney Water and central coast water catchment, with further permanent areas to be determined scientifically. ‘Secondly, we want a moratorium on all CSG and unconventional gas exploration and extraction until the recommendations of the chief scientist’s final report are fully implemented. ‘Thirdly, under that moratorium the government immediately suspend existing exploration licences and ensure by law that no compensation is payable to any party as well as cease issuing new CSG and unconventional exploration and extraction licences and refuse any applications to expand existing licences. ‘And fourthly, the government not permit any expansion of CSG and unconventional gas operations in this state unless the implementation of the chief scientist’s recommendations proves that the industry is safe.’
Govt steps in to tackle sharks Chris Dobney
Additional resources have been announced by the state government to tackle the issue around recent shark attacks and increased activity in the region. But a shark cull has been ruled out, such as was recently called for by members of the local surfing community. Ballina mayor David Wright says that the NSW Department of Primary In2 August 19, 2015 The Byron Shire Echo

Vale Nola McMahon 1937–2015 Nola McMahon was remembered Friday, with friends and family gathering to pay tribute to a well-known Mullum identity with a flair for organisation and performance – and a passion for helping children. In her time, Nola ran concerts and school productions, managed bands, assisted a group of Russian acrobats/dancers and some internationally renowned Russian gymnasts. Perhaps most importantly, she helped many kids realise their potential, and to find their voice and their feet. Nola grew up in the Tweed region with her brother and sister, where she eventually met her teaching husband Brian at Tweed Heads, reputedly at a social tennis game. Marriage beckoned and

Nola and Brian had two children – Alison and Michael. They lived for many years at Lavertys Gap near Mullum. After working as a nurse, Nola became the school nurse at Mullum High School, and it was during her time there that she developed an interest
in audio-visual equipment. Nola really was ahead of her time with AV technology. She became an expert, and within a relatively short time she was put in charge of all school productions, concerts and presentations. She mentored students to
She always encouraged people to broaden their vision of what was possible in life. Nola’s gift really had always been her ability to draw in kids and get them involved.

Markets battle on to keep their Butler Street location Byron Farmers’ Market management have been quick to act upon news they could be booted from Butler Street, and last week handed over 540 individual submissions, which were garnered over three weeks. Additionally, a letter has been sent to councillors and staff expressing ‘alarm’ at being treated as a ‘secondary consideration in Byron Shire Council’s focused push towards establishing Butler Street Reserve as a paid parking site.’ It comes after a recent meeting with general manager Ken Gainger, which was instigated by market managers. The letter also reads, ‘We believe there has not been adequate, open-minded consultation by Council with stallholders and their committee, and none at all with the users of the market – the people of Byron Bay.’ ‘We certainly do not agree with the Council staff view that, “This co-existence however would present various complications for all parties with competing interests and demands and likely misun-

derstanding on what days and times general car parking operates and does not; all of which adds to difficultly of enforcement and management.” ‘The pace and the blinkered approach to this issue are deeply worrying for our members, who feel they are being railroaded. The market managers believe that a compromise based on coexistence at the site is the best solution. ‘At present, a third of customers – both local and tourist – either walk or cycle to buy their produce. That stream of business would dry up.’
Mayor Simon Richardson told The Echo that discussions are ongoing and hopes for an equitable outcome. He referred to European towns, where markets are held in the main streets, as a possible solution.
Exploring options Council issued a press release on Monday saying it will ‘continue to explore how the markets can co-exist with a pay parking scheme in place or identify at least equally appropriate sites within the town centre.’

Depleted soils, stock feed boosted by biochar Luis Feliu
Brunswick Heads organic farmer Kelvin Daly is all fired up about a new method of biochar production which enriches the soil on his property and his cattle’s health. It was made possible after biochar consultant Don Coyne helped Kelvin set up a farm-size biochar kiln on his property. Kelvin was able to sustainably clean up his property of old fence posts, offcuts and other burnable building waste and convert it to biodynamic charcoal (or biochar) by a simple low-cook method. They are urging farmers, graziers and anyone interested in organic horticulture or gardening to attend the upcoming Byron Bioenergy Conference at Byron Eco Park, Tyagarah, on the weekend of September 12–13. The two say large-scale biochar production is taking off in Europe, where soils depleted by over-use have been replenished using biochar and pastures improved where
Don Coyne, left, with Kelvin Daly at the kiln, which will produce biochar to add to the cows’ feed
cattle are fed with it. One of the keynote speakers at the conference is an avocado, dairy and beef farmer from Western Australia, Doug Pow, who has been feeding his cows biochar for four years and seen economic and biological outcomes far beyond his expectations. Kelvin said the new way of spreading biochar by dung beetles feeding on the cow droppings was what also made the use of the soil-reviver hugely more economically viable for orchardists, and there were plenty of those on
the north coast. No more spreading tonnes of expensive fertilisers per acre, he said, the dung beetles can ‘get in there and just do their work’ on the droppings of biochar-fed cows. He added macadamia farmers in the region could also benefit greatly as they would have a new use for husks to add to their kiln or generate electricity.

Renewable and locally owned – new energy retailer launched Want a locally owned power company which sources locally generated supplies? Newly launched energy retailer Enova are aiming to do just that, and they held a community consultation/ prospectus last Wednesday. Enova chair Alison Crook AO says, ‘Our goal is to reduce carbon emissions by retailing renewable energy and by encouraging and facilitating the development of local renewable generation. We aim to be a model for other communities in developing a
renewable energy future.’ Ms Crook also says that unlike other power companies, Enova also aims to provide educational programs on how to use less energy and how to use it more efficiently. They are touted to be the first community-owned retailer in Australia, and say they want to reinvest profits back into the community/region. To get started, Enova say they need to raise $3m. Shares in the company start at $1,000. For more visit www.enovaenergy.com.au.

Large scale development pushed without environment, flood studies Mooball residents from Tweed Shire rallied Saturday against plans which would boost the size and population of the small town at least tenfold. Most alarmingly for residents is that plans come without a flood-impact study. Surrounding sugarcane growers also fear the controversial development, involving up to 300 new housing lots, could have a major impact on their farms if flood mitigation controls were not put in place. The residents also fear the rural character of their small village on Tweed Valley Way will be affected with the smaller-than-expected house lots proposed. They say their concerns in submissions made after a recent public exhibition of the plan were not properly assessed and that fair and due process has not been followed. The pro-development
majority faction of Tweed Shire Council (Crs Warren Polglase, Phil Youngblutt and Carolyn Byrne), backed by Cr Barry Longland, last week pushed the longstanding rezoning plan along in a 4–2 vote. The state government will have the final say in determining the proposal. But at this week’s August 20 general council meeting, the issue will return after it was realised the vote at last Thursday’s planning committee meeting contradicted an earlier resolution of council from last year. A rescission motion lodged by Crs Longland and Byrne is expected to allow the rezoning approval process to proceed as per the majority faction motion. A bid by Cr Gary Bagnall and Greens Cr Katie Milne to stop assessment of the plan until the developers (mostly a consortium of local landowners) provide flood-impact, bushfire hazard and other

studies was also defeated. Council’s chief planner expressed reservations about the developer not providing the previously requested studies, saying the staff report ‘highlighted a critical impasse in the process of this planning proposal’.
Staff expressed reservations The majority faction say the rezoning is good for the village and that an expanding population would make it thrive and improve business
in the village. But local Barry Pappin, who organised Saturday’s community meeting, told The Echo, ‘We also want a proper environmental impact study to be done before the rezoning goes ahead, and we believe fair and due process has not been followed.’

Caesar’s wife must be above suspicion
Volume 30 #10
August 19, 2015
Marriage’s (un)holy alliance It was all over the news on Monday lunchtime – or at least the News Corp news. Not that Warren Entsch’s same-sex marriage bill had been introduced to parliament, nor that Malcolm Turnbull and Christopher Pyne were the only government frontbenchers brave enough to show up for it. Oh, no, The Australian, news.com.au, Sky News and the rest were more interested in a poll, funded incidentally by the right-wing marriage bah-humbug brigade, which purported to show that 76 per cent of Aussies would like to have a plebiscite on the issue of same-sex marriage. This ‘Sexton’ poll apparently strengthens Tony’s arm as he looks for a way out of the ludicrous impasse he’s foisted onto his party, despite the fact it was conducted before the PM announced ‘his’ new policy. Newspoll and Neilsen are household names with their regular opinion polls but who are Sexton? According to their website Sexton Marketing are based in Adelaide and mostly conduct market research for advertising agencies. Certainly a quick Google search finds no other news stories relating to any other polls with the name Sexton attached to them. Sexton Marketing, in turn, is on the payroll of the shadowy, Catholic-funded Australian Marriage Alliance. Although you won’t find any of this information on its website, the Marriage Alliance was founded by former Canberra Liberal Party president Tio Faulkner, who stepped down in 2013 after allegations (later cleared) of a misuse of taxpayer funds. Its founding directors include former investment banker Jim Dominguez (a board member of the Catholic Sisters of Charity Foundation), Queensland businessman Ashley Goldsworthy (described by Crikey as ‘the man who sent Jennings Industries broke’), and socalled ‘tech-savvy’ business adviser Mark Phillips, all of whom have Catholic affiliations. So what does all this prove, other than that the Coalition is now having its policy written by the Catholic Church (surprise, surprise)? Well, what it tells us, if the poll is indeed correct, is that Australians are sick and tired of having their decisions made for them by a bunch of crackpot politicians. So what other policies do Echo readers think should be decided by plebiscite? Climate change, perhaps? Punishment for pollies perks? You tell us – go to www.echonetdaily.net.au.

he proverb has a long and venerable lineage: in 62 BC Julius Caesar divorced his second wife Pompeia. There was no trial, no hearing, not even a formal charge – only innuendo and scuttlebutt. Pompeia was, or might have been, the target of attention from an ardent young admirer, and that was all. But it was enough: Caesar’s wife, declared the Roman ruler, must be above suspicion. So the hapless Pompeia had to go. In the case of the royal commissioner Dyson Heydon, the evidence is rather more substantial: there is a paper trail. A leaflet was promulgated with the Liberal Party logo inviting the faithful for a shindig in honour of another Liberal Party icon, Sir Garfield Barwick (the former chief justice and covert adviser in the dismissal of Gough Whitlam) and the featured speaker was to be Dyson Heydon. Apparently the idea had been mooted some two years ago; he accepted the invitation as a Liberal Party event in 2014, but apparently overlooked the party connection when it was confirmed twice this year. He, or his associate, only declined the forthcoming celebration last week. We were told that the refusal had been sent before any media queries had emerged, but the Fairfax press had published the text of the leaflet the previous night, so Heydon’s office had presumably been alerted. And in the event the refusal was not a blanket rejection, but a rain check; it only applied to the duration of the Royal Commission. When it came to addressing official Liberal Party functions, Heydon wanted to keep his options open. So it seems a clear breach of the Caesar’s wife principle, and also of the words of both
Barwick and Heydon himself: judges must not only be impartial, but they must be seen to be impartial. And if that applies to members of the judicial arm of government, how much more must it apply to the executive arm, in which Heydon has been personally selected to preside over a highly charged, very political inquiry into the trade union movement that has included two living Labor leaders. Heydon has added to the controversy by criticising the credibility of the current one – gratuitously and provocatively, say his opponents.
NSW campaign fund. If it isn’t an official fundraiser, it will do until one comes along. There were also protestations that it was really a public function, so it didn’t really count. But the gathering was by invitation, the media was excluded and it’s a fair bet that if someone like Zaky Mallah arrived at the door he would be turned away. The occasion was to be by the Liberal party, for the Liberal Party and of the Liberal Party, and that meant that Dyson Heydon must be a sympathiser, if not an active supporter.
Abbott was relying on his commission as another weapon to belt Bill Shorten and all his works; now he has lost that battle
by Mungo MacCallum From the beginning Bill Shorten and his colleagues branded it a witch hunt, a political stitch-up; they now claim to have uncovered the smoking gun. The government has no choice but to support their own appointee, insisting that he had always been fair, impartial and honourable, which may well be the case, but is not the point. He has been tainted, if that is the right term, with direct involvement with the organisation of the party that gave him his brief. Pedalling furiously, his defenders argue about whether the dinner is or is not a fundraiser: some admit it is, others insist it is not, Tony Abbott says it is both. Well, the admission fee is certainly not exorbitant by the standards of major events, but donations are solicited in the handout and are payable to the
BYRON BALLET GALA

But again, the nit-picking is not the point. Heydon’s standing was compromised, and it was not the first time – some years ago he spoke at a meeting convened by the right-wing magazine Quadrant, with an address which was designated as a job application for John Howard. His judicial expertise is not in question, but his judgment – even his common sense – most definitely is, and the damage is considerable. The stuff up is, for once, not entirely Tony Abbott’s fault; Heydon was certainly his prime minister’s captain’s pick to launch the crusade against the unions, but he was hardly to know that his royal commissioner would be so rash. He cannot and will not sack Heydon, and it is most unlikely that Heydon will step down even if the unions make a formal submission for him to do so later this week. So this means that the rest of the proceedings, up till and into the final findings
and their dissection, will lack a measure of credibility unacceptable in the context of a forthcoming election campaign. Abbott was relying on his commission as another weapon to belt Bill Shorten and all his works; now he has lost that battle before it has properly started. And so the arsenal is looking a bit bare; the climate change argument is at least contestable, gay marriage has been a fiasco, tax reform is on hold, cutting expenditure is a no show. National security will presumably be ramped up yet further, but even that must have its limits. And most importantly, the trashing of the previous Labor regime, although still an article of faith for Abbott’s zealots, is ringing increasingly hollow: the constant gaffes, divisions and general incompetence of the current administration has made a mockery of the promise of good government for grown-ups, open for business and getting on with the pursuing the unexceptionable aims of spruiking for jobs and growth. And, as always, the buck stops at the top – stops dead, very nearly. Time is running out if there is to be a serious change – either from Abbott finally reviving his serially impaired leadership, or relinquishing it, willingly or not. The impasse is awkward, uncomfortable, and definitely unpalatable for the party, and particularly the vulnerable backbenchers; but there are signs that they are reluctantly moving to confront it. Caesar’s wife is one principle, and that has been declared inoperable. Now the great leader’s own supremacy, his very survival, is once more under scrutiny. The Ides of March may have come and gone, but the ravens are still croaking.

Last chance for climate change action Q The Greek goddess Cassan-
dra had the power of prophecy, but when she refused Apollo’s advances, he cursed her by ensuring nobody believed her prophecies. I think the most significant guest at the Byron Writers Festival was Clive Hamilton, who went from one forum to the next telling us of the coming climate change. By the end of this century, the very ground the festival is on will be under water, along with the projected West Byron development and the three towns – Mullum, Byron and Bruns. But it isn’t just rising sea level. A 4.4 degree global temperature increase is already unavoidable. Some are talking six degrees, creating a turbo-charged weather system unfit for human habitation. Clive is no alarmist; he is just letting us know the science. His book, Requiem For A Species, is life-changing.
A great loss A sad event occurred in Mullumbimby recently and went relatively unnoticed. Dr Myron Binns is no longer working at the Meadows Medical Centre. I feel this is a great loss to our small community. My son has been a patient of Dr Binns for many years and over this time we have built a trusting relationship with him. Dr Binns was a kind and honest human being and a wonderful man.
The book isn’t just about the science, it is about why we resist the truth about climate change. Clive can be forgiven for having a bit of a Cassandra complex. Michael Balson Upper Wilsons Creek Q Failing
to address climate change puts at risk the health of the community, the viability of agriculture and the chance to lead the way in clean energy and sustainable industries. The announcement this week of the weak targets Australia intends to take to international negotiations in Paris is evidence of the continued failure to address the most serious threat to our future wellbeing. Tony Abbott’s targets see us continue to lag behind the rest of the world and the trajectory supported by our earlier leaders. The most fundamental thing we must do is look to the wellbeing of He was the archetype of the traditional country doctor who had a strong commitment to the community and conducted his practice with compassion and care. The importance of such a GP is not always recognised; however, in a small town such as Mullumbimby the service they provide can reverberate healing and a sense of care throughout the community.

future generations. We don’t achieve this by talking ourselves and the public into a belief that action is too hard and costly, especially when the stakes are as high as the future health of our planet. We can do it by ensuring our society is empowered and resilient, so that every generation can take advantage of the opportunities that come with change, that we develop the new, sustainable industries and technologies that provide jobs and ensure quality of life, and that we adapt to the challenges and impacts that will inevitably come.

continued from page 9 that calls of complaint would be logged by the hotline but there would be no steps taken by police to ensure the noise levels were lowered. Once the festival was over, I was advised that at a future meeting, the hotline log would be examined and discussed. In other words, there are absolutely no steps to be taken by the festival owners, police or Council to ensure the noise is lowered and residents can have some relief. To monitor the noise levels post the festival is the clearest indication of the absolute lack of concern for residents. This is a completely unacceptable situation with all power given to Parklands to annoy and disturb the impacted suburbs with no fear of interference or orders to lower the noise level.

Secret trade talks

Thoughts on ICAC In response to the latest Backlash, I’d like to support ICAC. Megan Latham is quite right – if tasteless – about the importance of putting the blowtorch to corrupt officialdom. Also, the ICAC approach does not enter into a criminal trial or affect the rights of the accused in an open court. We need more of ICAC. But without graphic descriptions of sadistic activities. Matt Hartley Byron Bay Q If I heard correctly, one of the crimes that ICAC may inquire into is ‘undermining confidence in public institutions’. Does that mean that if I express my lack of confidence in certain public institutions I am ‘undermining confidence in public institutions’? Does that then mean I should prepare for the arrival of the thought police? Like, pack my toothbrush? I take comfort in the fact that there are so many politicians, some of them close at hand, in the line before me that the prosecution will run out of funding long before they get to me.

‘limited’ shark cull. He speaks for the redneck fringe. If he is so concerned about sharks he should stay out of the water. Maybe take up tenpin bowling or take crack instead? When many of us surf, it is to commune with nature, not show our mastery of it. Humans have wrought incredible destruction on this little planet of ours and although it sounds misanthropic, the idea of humans being eaten by sharks is actually rather encouraging. It shows our pretense to have mastered nature as the hubris that it surely is. More people die from bee stings than shark bites. Are you calling for a bee cull, Don? Dave Lisle Mullumbimby
Metered parking Council is about to introduce metered parking all over town. Not just in the current time-restricted areas but well beyond, including Lawson Street all the way up to the Beach Cafe. It’s bad enough that we have to pay city rents and now city parking prices. How are we meant to get through the winter? This will be the death of the boutiques. You might as well just turn Byron into a giant Westfields, because it will only be the big chains that will survive. I am not happy with the current one-hour zones either. It has really hurt my business. I propose that they raise all the current time
limits. You can’t have a meal and shop in one hour. And that million dollars of revenue per year in fines is disgraceful! Will those people ever come back? Karene Wodiske Byron Bay

The load limit for O’Mearas Bridge on Binna Burra Road will be reduced to 5 tonnes for all vehicles from Monday 24 August. Heavy vehicles will need to find an alternative route via Friday Hut Rd and Coorabell Rd or Eureka Rd and Federal Rd. Variable message signs will be in place from Monday 17 August and traffic controllers on site from Monday 24. Heavy vehicles may adversely affect the structural integrity of the bridge and result in Council closing the bridge to all traffic in the event that non-compliance with the load limit is evident. Monitoring at the bridge will be in place to help enforce the load limit reduction and fines could apply to heavy vehicles that cho se to ignore the signage. Council apologises for the inconvenience the load reduction may cause. Motorists can call Byron Shire Council on 02 6626 7072 should they have further enquiries. Council is in the process of applying for funding to replace the old timber bridge with a new concrete bridge. If unsuccessful, repairs to the old timber bridge will commence in 2016.

Follow the tuna Sharks love Southern Bluefish Tuna. Can everyone concerned about sharks look up on the web CSIRO tuna research? Fact 1: tuna grow up to 2.5 metres and weigh 260kg. Fact 2: they live up to 40 years. Fact 3: most important fact is they do not spawn until they reach 10 to 12 years of age. Fact 4: the Southern Bluefish Tuna spawns in the South East Indian Ocean. The CSIRO has predicted that stocks will deteriorate in a few years from excess over fishing. If scientists want to know where sharks go, just follow the tuna.

The toxic nightmare of corporatised agriculture Hilary Bain
I didn’t think I’d make it out alive, the night we went to film the ‘Cancer Train’ in Bathinda, Punjab. It was our last and most difficult filming in the area. We’d driven into Bathinda a few days earlier, originally planning to spend eight days filming. But glancing out of the car windows as the car bounced along the dusty roads toward it, we quickly realised that we had better get the filming done in four days, as the air was literally thick with a toxic cocktail of pollution and smoke from burning crop residues in the fields. I knew my lungs would not survive it. The farmers were getting ready to fertilise and plant rice, after the wheat was harvested and sacked and taken to the godowns for storage. Both humans and animals were moving at a slow pace, and, with no trees, and fields of dead soil as far as the eye could see, like a war zone, and dirty, milky air, it all seemed so surreal and nightmarish. We were filming at ground zero of the Green Revolution – green, not because it was an ecological revolution. It was

green, as opposed to red, red meaning communist China. It was actually green, the colour of the greenback dollar for the big chemical corporations, as they are the only beneficiaries of this industrial agriculture. The documentary film, The Worm Is Turning, which my partner Asa Mark and I produced, is about agriculture post World War II. Starting in America where chemical, commodity farming really took off after the war, we come to India today, and see the big plans to follow in America’s footsteps, even in the face of the Punjabi disaster. We show how globalised
agriculture works in destroying farmers around the world, pushing them off the land and into cities for cheap labour, and taking over the land for huge corporate plantations. The toll this chemical agriculture is taking on wildlife and human health is quite alarming. Chronic illness is at epidemic levels globally. Between toxicity and deforestation, half the world’s animals, birds and insects have been killed off in the last 40 years. Two thirds of the planet is desert; there’s been a massive carnage in the world’s soils. All is not gloom and doom, however, as the film shows that small and medi-
um, biodiverse farms, from 91-year-old Bhaskar Save’s coconuts in India to vegetables in Australia, to cattle, pig and chicken farming in the USA, are more productive than big, monoculture farms. The film features such luminaries as Vandana Shiva, seedsaver and environmental activist, Joel Salatin, America’s best known sustainable farmer, Byron Bay’s own Helena Norberg-Hodge, champion of localism over globalism, Raj Patel and many others involved in food politics. The film shows the interdependency of animals and land, and the ‘intricate ballet in the field’ as Joel Salatin describes it, that grows soil
and feeds animals (including humans) through the miracle of photosynthesis. Agroecology is a general name for agriculture that is done in harmony with the natural world, without pesticides and synthetic fertilisers, that is biodiverse and restorative, small rather than big, local rather than global. According to Olivier De Schutter, former UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food, not only would the nutritional content in food increase, but agroecology could double food production in three years. With this in mind, the west desperately needs young farmers trained in agroecological methods to take over farming from essentially a war machinery that has created a lot of the environmental problems in the world today. Q The Worm Is Turning will be shown on Wednesday August 26 at 6pm at the Byron Community Centre. There will be a panel Q&A afterwards. Tickets are $20 and available at Santos stores or at the door.

Byron Bay’s new pay parking scheme Byron Shire Council has resolved to introduce a pay parking scheme for the Byron Bay town centre from December 2015. The new parking scheme will be based upon vehicle number plates and will apply to the Byron Bay town centre as marked out below in pink on the map. Key components of the new scheme are: s A universal $3 per hour parking rate 9am to 6pm seven days per week s 4 hour parking areas to be charged at $3 per hour and capped at $10. s Creation of a new 260 space all-day car park at the Butler Street Reserve to be available from 6am to 6pm seven days per week with rates of $3 per hour and capped at $20 per day.
Continues to Massinger St
s Creation of new all-day car parks at Clarkes Beach car park, Jonson Street (south of Kingsley Street) and on street east of Middleton Street – fees to be capped at $20 per day. s Byron Shire residents will be eligible to purchase an annual parking fee exemption entitlement at $50 per vehicle. There will be no cost for residents with a Centrelink card (blue). s Non-Byron resident workers employed within the designated paid parking area will be eligible to purchase an annual parking fee exemption entitlement at $100 per vehicle subject to providing verification of their employment. s Special provisions for volunteers.
Why has Council decided to introduce pay parking to Byron Bay? With little state government funding support available for Council, we have to raise revenue ourselves to fix our ageing infrastructure throughout the Shire. Plus, finding a car park is a daily struggle. Pay parking is part of the solution. Pay parking will aim to assist with the challenge of finding a car park in the busy town centre. With additional new car spaces coming on-line and discounted parking rates available on the perimeter of the pay parking area, the incentives will encourage motorists to park a little further out and therefore ease pressure on the town centre. Local Government in NSW is undergoing significant reform and all councils are required to demonstrate how they will become financially viable so as to become FIT FOR THE FUTURE and avoid the possibility of amalgamation. Council is therefore required to generate significant new revenue streams in order to increase expenditure on critical infrastructure such as roads and meet new government North Coast news daily: www.echonetdaily.net.au
performance benchmarks. Additional revenue generated by paid parking, of up to $2.7M per year, will also help Council to upgrade public facilities in Byron Bay such as toilets, the foreshore precinct, playgrounds, street furniture, garden beds and landscaping and will provide a new source of funds to help to implement many of the recommendations to flow from the Byron Bay Town Centre Master Plan. A significant proportion of the revenue generated from pay parking will primarily come from the 900,000+ day trippers who visit Byron Bay each year. Alternative funding sources
proposed by some residents such as a Bed Tax or creating Ewingsdale Road into a toll road, have neither legal basis or state government support at this time.

Can Australia afford to scorn its seniors? Jacqui Murray
Older people contribute a staggering $65.7 billion a year – or more than the entire 2013 budget deficit – to the Australian economy, according to new research commissioned by National Seniors Australia. It would now appear that older Australians are operating at a surplus. In 2014, the aged pension was costing the federal government a maximum of $42 billion a year. It would also appear that the treasury’s extraordinary 2011 dream of turning ‘grey into gold’ has been realised… and within a mere four years to boot. For those who doubt that a government policy of alchemy should exist, the treasury’s Advisory Panel on the Economic Potential of Senior Australians dream of Realising the economic potential of senior Australians: turning grey into gold, (APEPSA, 2011a, Canberra), and all its subsequent offspring, might not make better reading than Pythagoreanism, Platonism, Stoicism and Gnosticism, nor might it be as much fun as the search for the philosopher’s stone, but for those of us who have lived to see Bronnie’s benevolence reined in, it is relevant.
In a report titled Appreciating Value: Measuring the economic and social contributions of mature age Australians, National Seniors Australia has found that far from being a burden on society, older Australians (with perhaps some obvious exceptions as instanced above) are making contributions that far outweigh government agepension expenditure. These contributions include working as volunteers, estimated to be worth $16 billion a year, caring for people with a multiplicity of limitations, as well as providing free child care, worth a total of $22 billion a year; with a further $27 billion coming from what has been calculated as the value-added work of older Australians in the paid workforce. This value adding was measured in terms of loyalty and lower rates of absenteeism, training and workers compensation costs but did not include other benefits such as experience, communication skills and the mentoring of younger workers. Other recent studies have raised serious concerns about the future of volunteering in Australia as some organisations across the nation are finding it increasingly

difficult to attract new volunteers because of generational and cultural shifts in society – an issue which is the cause of some serious angst. All this when federal spending cutbacks are putting even greater demands on volunteers – when they have clearly become a national economic asset that must be preserved. According to a School of Marketing researcher from the Curtin Business School,
‘communities and governments are increasingly dependent on volunteers to deliver a wide range of services, particularly for the aged, the sick and the infirm’. The trouble is, most Australians are now choosing not to volunteer. A three-year study, led by Associate Professor Kirsten Holmes of Curtin University, will examine this problem and ‘how the country can build a sustainable
volunteer sector’. So serious is this issue, and the urgency of the research, that the project will bring together researchers from Macquarie University, Victoria University, Flinders University, Erasmus University (Netherlands), Volunteering Victoria, Volunteering Western Australia, the WA Department for Communities and, Volunteering South Australia and Northern Territory. Yet ill-informed public conversations continue to peddle unhelpful mythologies. According to a statement released in February, the Grattan Institute believes the aged pension is a major national problem. ‘It’s growing much faster than the economy and taking an increasing share of government spending. Over the last ten years, spending on the age pension has grown by five per cent a year in real terms. Without legislative change it is forecast to grow by six per cent a year for the next 10 years.’ And after that panicstricken gambit, the Institute concluded, somewhat lamely: ‘Therefore, changes to the amount of the age pension, or eligibility for it, make a big difference to the budget.’ The Institute suggested
that the family home should be part of any future assessment of pension eligibility. Launching the 2015 Intergenerational Report, treasurer Joe Hockey called for a debate on budget sustainability in the face of population ageing. According to the report, pension spending is expected to increase to 3.8 per cent of GDP by 2055 with some crystal-ball insiders positing a figure of around $165 billion. In the real world, Australian pension expenditure is one of the lowest in the developed world. It is less than half the OECD average. According to OECD Pensions at a Glance 2013, Australia’s public spending on the age pension is much lower than pension spending in Europe. Australia spends 3.5 per cent of GDP, Italy 15 per cent, France 14 per cent and Britain spends six per cent. On current trends, by 2055 Australian age pension spending will remain relatively low – lower than some of the lowest spenders elsewhere in the real world today.

Q
See you, me and Abdul down by the schoolyard Michael McDonald
It’s not often you see your old high school in the news – unless you went to MasterChef College. The other week Epping Boys High in Sydney, from where I escaped in 1969, had its moment of infamy. The two famous Epping old boys are human rights barrister Geoffrey Robertson and former championship golfer Jack Newton; both matriculated a few years before me.

The Christian youth club had an ongoing exchange of bulletins with the gadfly atheists, and the few Brethren were forbidden by their parents from participating in anything which might be regarded as fun. Most of us weaselled out of scripture class by the senior years. The poor woman who taught it was assailed by difficult cosmological questions, to which her standard answer was ‘Science doesn’t know everything.’ Too right, lady, but it offers a better chance of understanding the universe than blind belief. Of course teachers must report threats of beheading in the tuckshop – though the meat pies might kill you first – and the preaching of any hateful doctrine, including the new fascism of Reclaim Australia. But it might help, too, if Baird gave some credit to ethics classes instead of kowtowing to Fred Nile for the sake of
some upper house votes. In addition, a little logic taught in schools might help kids know when someone is pissing down their backs while telling them it’s
raining. Mind you, we’re dealing here with teenage boys stuck in a girl-free school, and radical rebellion is high on the agenda of the unhappy and bored.

SKIN DISEASE HAS BEEN SCRATCHED Eczema can be itchy to the point of total despair for many sufferers. Eczema is usually inherited, and is exacerbated by sensitivities and allergies. Those allergies can be as simple as wearing the wrong piece of jewellery, eating trigger foods or breathing the pollen from something growing in your garden. Psoriasis also can be affected by sensitivities and allergies, but to a lesser degree and requires a greater focus on immune imbalance. Psoriasis is an auto-immune disease and at the Good Skin Clinic we use world’s best practice in resolving this persistent and pervasive disease. The natural, scientifically validated medications used at the Good Skin Clinic have a proven efficacy of greater than 85 per cent success in the total clearance of this disease.

Selling your home Selling your home can be a nail-biting experience. It’s a move most of us only make once or twice in a lifetime so it pays to do your homework first. THE SALE PROCESS A residential property cannot be advertised for sale until a Contract of Sale has been prepared. The contract must contain a copy of the title documents, drainage diagram and a current Zoning Certificate (s 149) issued by the local council. If the property for sale has a swimming pool or spa pool, a copy of either of the following must also be attached to the contract from 29 April 2016: • a valid swimming pool Certificate of Compliance, or • a relevant occupation certificate (less than three years old and that authorises the use of the swimming pool) and a valid certificate of registration showing that the swimming pool has been registered. If you fail to attach either of these documents to the sales contract, the purchaser may be entitled to rescind the sales contract within 14 days of exchange, unless settlement has already occurred. To check if the property with a swimming/spa pool has a current certificate of compliance, visit the NSW Swimming Pool Register website. Property exclusions must also be included and a statement of the buyer’s cooling-off rights must be attached. The draft contract must be available for inspection at the agent’s office. It is important that you consult your solicitor or conveyancer about preparing the contract to make sure that everything is in order. There are two main ways of selling a residential property, by private treaty and by auction. PRIVATE TREATY When you sell your home by private
treaty, you set a price and the property is listed for sale at that price. In general, the price is negotiable with the seller often asking a higher amount than they expect to sell the property for, and the buyer making an initial offer much lower than the asking price. The process of a sale by private treaty offers the following benefits: • greater control over the sale • time to consider offers by potential purchasers • the ability indefinitely to extend the time for which your home is for sale • potential purchasers must make offers for your property ‘blind’, without knowing what other buyers think it is worth. Selling privately is often just as tense as a public auction, and you will be faced with important decisions when you are presented with offers that are lower than your asking price. There are risks with selling by private treaty that also should be considered: • if the price you set is too high, your property may not sell • if the price you set is too low, you may miss out on maximising the selling price. You should also be aware that when a property is sold by private treaty, the buyer has a five-day cooling-off period during which they may withdraw from the sale. AUCTION To sell through an auction process, the amount you want for the property is generally not revealed to potential buyers, who are encouraged to attend the auction and bid for the property against other potential buyers. Auctions have become an increasingly popular way to sell or buy residential property, but before you decide to go
down that path, do your homework and familiarise yourself with the process and what it involves. Setting a reserve price The reserve price is the lowest amount you are willing to accept for your property. Before bidding begins, advise your agent what you nominate as the reserve price. This is usually not told to the prospective buyers. If the highest bid is below the reserve price, the property will be ‘passed in’. You will then either try to negotiate a price with interested bidders or put the property back on the market. If the bidding continues beyond the reserve price, the property is sold at the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer. Successful bids The successful bidder must sign the sale contract and pay you a deposit on the spot (usually 10%). There is no cooling-off period for anyone who buys a property at auction. If the
property is passed in at auction but contracts are exchanged on that same day, the cooling-off period still does not apply. Contract exchange Exchanging sale contracts is the legal part of selling a home and happens regardless of whether you sell your property by private treaty or auction. There will be two copies of the sale contract: one for you and one for the buyer. You each sign one copy before they are swapped or ‘exchanged’. This can be done by hand or post and is usually arranged by your solicitor, conveyancer or the agent. At the time of the exchange, the buyer will be required to pay a deposit, usually 10 per cent of the purchase price. The contract exchange is a critical point in the sale process: The buyer or seller is not legally bound until signed copies of the contract are exchanged.
Buyers of residential property usually have a cooling-off period of five working days following the exchange of contracts during which they can withdraw from the sale. If the agent arranges exchange of contracts, the agent must give copies of the signed contract to each party or their solicitor or conveyancer within two business days. The cooling-off period can be waived, reduced or extended by negotiation. There is no cooling-off period for sellers. Once contracts have been exchanged, sellers are generally bound to complete the agreement. There is no cooling-off period when purchasing at auction. Settlement Settlement is the conclusion of the sale transaction and usually takes place about six weeks after contracts are exchanged. This information is sourced from the NSW Fair Trading website.

A Harvest Feast: Collective Chefs Natalie Shukur
It was all about the breaking of bread and beasts on Saturday night at Harvest in Newrybar, where 65 guests came together for the first in its Collective Chef Series: On the Pass. The events are a chance for executive chef Brett Cameron to collaborate with the culinary luminaries who share his ethos for produce-driven, nose-to-tail cooking and celebrating old-world techniques. First up was Cameron’s former boss, TV celebrity Colin Fassnidge of Sydney’s Four in Hand and 4Fourteen restaurants, whose mischievous sense of humour and spontaneous cooking style set the tone for a jolly and relaxed evening of fun and feasting. ‘This is Harvest throwing a party,’ said co-owner Tristan Grier, who was delighted that Fassnidge had attracted a sprinkling of new faces among the regulars. ‘It’s about breaking the monotony you get sometimes with restaurant style [dining]. To start off with Colin and Brett, it’s family. And
Harvest is family. We’re not about being trendy or alienating people… So we’ll get in as many people as we can and drink and have fun!’ The six-course dinner, matched with vibrant biodynamic wines from Castagna vineyard in Beechworth, Victoria, was a bold selection of dishes, casually plated, with some, including Roast Bone Marrow, Crab & Sorrell DIY and Whole Woodfired Suckling Pig – Fassnidge Style, designed to share as a table. The duo didn’t hold back, laying on the meat, the fat, and unctuous, earthy flavours without restraint. The chefs were particularly chuffed with the ‘butter’ they served, invented on the fly – potatoes cooked under-

neath 120-day dry aged beef rib, blended with the dripping and presented in ceramic dishes spiked with a bone. There were some moments of bright and feminine reprieve for the senses in a painterly scattering of multi-hued beets that accompanied the second course of smoked eel with creamy horseradish and the piercingly zesty Piccone Citrus dessert, which featured mandarines and kumquats the pair had collected from a local fruit farm – a highlight of Fassnidge’s trip to Byron. ‘We really just made stuff up today,’ said Fassnidge with a laugh, introducing the menu to diners who had moved upstairs to the cafe following champagne and canapes by the
fire in the old bakery. ‘If you’re a vegetarian, you’re fucked!’ he cracked, with Cameron chiming in: ‘You’ll all probably have to go for a run tomorrow’. The high jinks continued throughout the night as Fassnidge sipped wine behind the pass, and cavorted for the cameras while carving a whole pig (when tipsy guests cried out for crackling: ‘It won’t crackle, it’s a baby,’ he retorted). Both chefs plus Grier and his wife Kassia, and special guest winemaker Adam Castagna, mingled with diners during the evening, encouraging the lively atmosphere. ‘We want to hear you all talking; I don’t want to be able to hear the music!’ said Cameron at the start of the meal. By the end of the laidback dinner he’d achieved his wish, glasses clinking and laughter rippling long into the night. The next Harvest Collective Chef Series dinner will take place in September and pairs Brett Cameron with Indigenous chef and native foods proponent Clayton Donovan of Janning Tree.

Remember way back when the local wine industry introduced us to the screw caps on wine bottles and wine drinkers the world over were turning up their noses at the Australian industry? Sacrilege! Blasphemy! Fast forward twenty-odd years and now they are commonplace here in Australia, and even some of the French producers are using the screw cap for certain wines. The screw cap suits our Australian lifestyle; no more getting to a picnic and realising that you forgot the corkscrew, but the screw cap has also vastly reduced the frequency of bottles being ‘spoiled’ due to air getting through the cork. A new advance in wine storage and dispensing is wine on tap, like the system at Hotel Brunswick that we discussed in The Good Life in October last year. It delivers wines at the optimal temperature, unoxidised as if they had been poured from a fresh bottle, and that system replaces over 40 glass wine bottles with one collapsible, recyclable keg, hugely reducing waste. In the past, restaurants have had to limit the amount of wine offered by the glass and would rarely offer premium wines ‘by the glass’ owing to wastage; once open the bottle would only survive a day or so depending how much wine was in the bottle. Now the Byron at Byron has partnered with Penfolds to install a similar system, a self-
Chris Kitchener from Byron at Byron samples Penfolds by the glass, but which one? (The Grange is in the middle!)
service wine station in their restaurant that delivers premium wines from the bottle, by the glass. The system uses gas to fill the bottle as the wine is emptied through the dispenser; this keeps the wine fresh
in the bottle, without oxygenation, for weeks. This has finally made premium, top quality wines accessible to everyone. Penfolds Grange is arguably the most celebrated Australian wine,
and yet most Australian wine drinkers haven’t tried it before, as vintages retail for more than $500 dollars upon release and climb from there. So while a whole bottle of the treasured wine in a restaurant will cost around $900, this system provides a small 25ml ‘taste’ for $22, a 75ml glass for $115, or a 150ml standard pour for $220, finally making it accessible for a normal workers to enjoy a firstclass meal and wine to match. If you would like to try the best Penfolds has to offer, why not time your visit to coincide with the Byron at Byron’s Farmers Market Dinner on Thursday nights to also sample the best fresh produce this region has to offer? Reservations recommended – phone 6639 2111.

HEADLINES TO FALL FOR
YOUNG MUSICIAN AIMS FOR THE STARS
SUPPORTING THE UNION Immigrant Union formed over beers via a chance meeting between Brent DeBoer of the Dandy Warhols and Bob Harrow. Their friendship grew, they acquired the talented vocalist and keyboard player Peter Lubulwa, and over the years has seen members including Courtney Barnett, Dave Mudie and Bones Sloan who feature on Anyway. These days Immigrant Union’s lineup sees Ben Street and Paddy McGrath-Lester on bass and drums. Credited with four stars from Rolling Stone, four-and-a-half stars from The Australian, four stars from The Age and four stars from The Music, the release of Immigrant Union’s Anyway has a tour to match. Brent DeBoer answered some questions while on the road with the Dandy Warhols. So tell me, what exactly is ‘altcountry psych’? You know, I really don’t know. All good music should be psychedelic, I suppose. If it doesn’t somehow expand your consciousness I don’t really see the point. And basically you have to describe your music somehow, and then even when you, do people want to say ‘what do you mean by that?’ I guess it is true that talking about music is the same as dancing to architecture. What is the key, do you think, in writing an infectious footstomping tune?
I guess a good beat and a good sound and something that is fun to sing along with. How did the members of Immigrant Union find each other? How hard is it to find exactly that right combination of people to create the ‘magic’ of a band?
Bob and I met at a bar and then a year or so later I moved to Melbourne. We already had a couple of songs and started writing more. Once we had a dozen or so we decided we better get a band together so we started calling around to Bob’s musician friends in Melbourne. We went through quite a few great musicians before we found the combination that we have today. I guess it just takes a bit of time and a lot of experimenting until you nail it. You appear to be having a lot of fun, particularly in the video for War is Peace. Can you tell me a little about that? I watched a documentary about global arms sales and there was this section of the movie where they visited an arms convention. There were dudes in suits and turbans just walking up to booths grabbing brochures and checking out the latest weapons of death and destruction. It was as though they were checking out fishing equipment.
Just going ‘hmmm this looks nice. This would kill a lot of people.’ Total psychopaths. We decided they should have their own home-shopping channel.
Can you tell me a bit about the producer of Anyway? What changed from page to studio? I think among the six of us in the band and our engineer Matt Robins we all produced the album together. As far as what changed from page to studio I would say quite a bit. When you go in to make a record it’s good to keep an open creative mind. You never really know which direction you’re going to go and that is the fun of it. What should we expect for your live gig in Byron? Expect to go in to the concert as the person you are today and leaving a completely different person marked for a life by the experience of witnessing Immigrant Union live. For the rest of your life, when people talk about you or tell stories about you, for clarity, it will be necessary to specify whether the story pertains to you before or after Immigrant Union. Be warned: you will never be the same. There is no going back. Immigrant Union play the Hotel Great Northern on Friday 28 August.

The Youth Mentorship has been one of the festival initiatives that has helped shine the light on young musicians, offering them the unique and very important opportunity to perform alongside national and international industry professionals. Last year Glenn Wright’s director’s pick Megan Donnelly was finishing Year 12 at Mullum High; this year she’s heading to Sydney, having just been accepted into AIM School (Australian Institute of Music). She will also be playing an hour spot at the local festival, featuring her 20-plus original songs. Eighteen-year-old Megan credits Mullum Music Festival with helping her realise her dream to become a professional musician. ‘Mullum Music Festival really helped me. I won director’s pick and I performed on opening night – it was really fun, it was a great vibe, and it was the biggest performance I had done! I used to get bullied a bit in high school for trying to sing, and I guess that night it helped me to believe in myself.’ It’s a big transition going from a 10-minute spot on opening night to a full hour as part of the program, but Megan is well up to the challenge. ‘I will mainly be performing original music. I want to take the audience on a journey with the music I write, show them different arrangements –
I have a different style, not jazz not soul not folk – I am not sure really what it is!’ Megan’s musical heroes aren’t Taylor Swift, Katy Perry or any of the swag of pop music icons that haunt most teenager’s iPods. ‘I listen to Whitney Houston, in fact every song that was ever made with her voice on it – I am pretty much a Whitney Houston stalker! I love Mariah Carey, Minnie Ripperton; I like soulful music.’
For those of you who look at festival lineups and the ratio of names you recognise gets smaller with each passing year, The Echo has put together a snapshot guide to just some of the artists at Falls this year to pique your interest. FOALS – Radiant, roiling, roistering, rabble-rousing UK guitar slingers. BLOC PARTY – deliver choruses so big they have their own gravitational pulls. KURT VILE & THE VIOLATORS (US) – A boy/man with an old soul voice in the age of digital everything. Check out his track Pretty Pimpin’.
PAUL KELLY & MERRI SOUL SESSIONS – The man who taught us how to make gravy, cooking it up on stage with CLAIRY BROWNE, DAN SULTAN, KIRA PURU, VIKA & LINDA BULL – enough said! MAC DEMARCO – Blissed-out Canadian boy genius. His chilled grooves, space echo guitars, crooned vocals and wacky sense of humour have won him a huge Aussie following.
COURTNEY BARNETT
Although Megan starts her music course in September, she’ll be coming home to Mullum Music Festival. ‘It’s sad leaving, but I am drawn to the city. I want to be in a band; I definitely want to make an album. I am a country girl going to the city.’ So does Megan think the city is going to change her? ‘I have to watch myself; they all wear high heels. I might just keep my fluoro tie-dye shirts and joggers – and tell them I’m from Mullumbimby.’ Thank god she’s a country girl. Megan Donnelly is a featured artist at this year’s Mullum Music Festival. For more program information and details about the 2015 Youth Mentorship to be announced any day now, go to mullummusicfestival.com or call 6684 6195.
COURTNEY BARNETT – Her ability to convey mundane moments, magnifying and stretching them into dense micro-narratives is just one facet of her incredible talent. Think Romeo Void meets Beck. A razor-sharp original. THE AVENER – French do deep house to perfection. A gorgeous fusion of blues, jazz and house perfect enough to propel itself to the top of the charts the world over. Think Flume by way of Mazzy Star.

CARBS FOR CAVEMAN Nutrition Newsflash: Cavemen ate carbs. According to a new study in The Quarterly Review of Biology, the low-carb interpretation of the Paleolithic palate is all wrong. Cavemen didn’t just eat protein. Cavemen and -women also had a hankering for starchy goodness. I guess that means it’s time for all you paleo proselytes to have a good look at your protein-laden plates.
You have been following a diet that is totally misguided. It’s hysterical. Not just misguided, but wrong. No wonder your brains have been shrinking! You were probably following a version of the caveman diet, but the strain of cavemen whose food patterns you were mimicking died out because they had no access to glucose. Glucose is necessary for brain development and responsible for good brain function. In fact it’s pretty clear our brains grew significantly about 800,000 years ago when we learnt how to cook carbs. I’m not talking a deep-fryer here. I’m talking a deep fire. Nothing like hot sizzling tuber veg with your bison to give you that extra brain buzz. Carb-free cavemen died of exhaustion and brain stunting. I love carbs. I might be fat, but man, I am as sharp as a tack. I’m also as strong as an ox. If we went back to cave days you wouldn’t want some stringy little carb avoider on your team, you’d want a big strapping tough chick like me. I can push out a baby in an hour and a half and be

It’s not trendy, it’s not new, it’s something our grandmothers told us: ‘eat a little bit of everything’ and once again it looks like moderation is the key health message. I guess it’s hard to find a way to market moderation because it’s so obvious. Eat a wide range of fruit and vegetables, eat protein and, dare I say it, eat some starch and grains. As long as it’s not processed into submission then bread ain’t gonna kill you after all.
Protein is a very inefficient glucose converter. You’d need more than meat to keep those legs pumping when closing in on or clearing out from a big a predator. Imagine the scenario: Caveman Barry would be slowing down, a large wolf hot on his heels. His caveman mates would be ahead yelling, ‘run, Barry, run!’.

ENTERTAINMENT Live Music SPOONBILL’S ELECTRONIC WONDERLAND Spoonbill returns to the fore with his fourth full-length album Tinkerbox. This fresh sonic anthology traverses the landscapes of cinematic groove electronica like a caravan of space gypsies; packed with instruments, handmade sound toys, weird musical contraptions, trinkets, puppets, clowns and a kick-arse high-end recording studio inside. Tinkerbox has been crafted as a eclectic but refined listening album that features a vast array of 16 musicians, recorded in many studios around the world from Canada to India and Australia. The live instrumentation has been forensically sculpted with
synthesised tones and foley recordings to achieve a dynamic spectrum of tonality that provides the listener with an evocative cerebral experience. Spoonbill, aka Melbourne-born Jim Moynihan, is one Australia’s unique electronic musicians carving out a signature sound that has influenced the glitch hop, broken beat and bass music genres in the electronic music scene over the last ten years. This album shines a new light on one of the pioneers of the Australian scene, adding a new feather to his already plumageladen cap. He presents a one-off show that promises to be a sensory spectacle to remember. Durrumbul Hall on Friday 28 August. 6pm till midnight. Door tickets only. $20 There will be tasty food and chai.

FIRETREE AT CLUB LENNOX
Indie folk darlings The FireTree are Dale and Josephine, unapologetically do-it-yourself musicians who have been steadily carving out their niche in the vibrant Australian live music scene. Embracing the multi-instrumental culture, the pair play a modified drum-kit, acoustic and electric guitars, percussion, harmonica and mandolin to create a captivating raw indie pop sound topped with soaring vocal harmonies. At Club Lennox on Sunday from 4pm.
LUCKY DUCKIES AT MULLUM AND BALLINA Sydney-based Galapagos Duck was an integral part of the foundation and success of the legendary jazz club The Basement. The band performed in the club continuously for 16 years, during which The Basement became known as one of the greatest jazz clubs in Australia and the world. The ‘Duck’ also toured extensively all throughout Australia, visiting the capital cities on many occasions and performing frequently in country areas including the remote areas of Western Australia and the Northern Territory with festival highlights including Montreaux Jazz Festival in Switzerland, Jazz Yatra festival in Bombay and Musexpo in USA. The band began in the late 60s while the members were engaged in a winter season at the New South Wales skiing resort The Kosciusko Chalet at Charlottes Pass. After returning to Sydney the band continued to work and became well known in the Australian jazz and music scene during the 70s when it was the house band at the emerging jazz night club The Basement near Circular Quay. Although the membership has changed, of necessity, the direction of the band has always remained the same and that is to create a performance experience that while jazz oriented may be appreciated and enjoyed by everybody. They play the Ballina RSL on Friday night at 8.30pm and Club Mullum at the Mullum Ex-Services on Sunday at 3pm.
TIJUANA CARTEL GONE GONZO Tijuana Cartel’s influences are so broad that a new album release that digs deep into the Australian counterculture was bound to happen sooner or later. It’s called Psychedelicatessen. You might say the album’s been in the making for roughly 40 years. The seed for Psychedelicatessen was planted way back in 1978
when Double J broadcast a psychedelic road trip from Brisbane to Sydney called What’s Rangoon to you is Grafton to me. What was then a ‘quintessentially Australian gonzo rant’ is now a cult classic radio play that intrigued TC’s singer/songwriter/ guitarist, Paul George, for years. Psychedelicatessen is Tijuana Cartel’s tribute to the play and to its author, Russell Guy. ‘This new album pings on cruise control as it translates, engages and navigates the worldwide plague of earthquakes, terrorism, crime, corruption, scoffers, mockers, volcanic eruptions and psychobabble, while segueing into a groove that the Gobble-up Machine can’t follow.’ The awesome Tijuana Cartel play the Hotel Great Northern on Sunday.
UNFORGIVEN The Unforgiven Band was born one afternoon in July 2013 at a throw-together gig at the Aussie Hotel, Ballina, hometown to the majority of the band. Horace, Stuart, Lenny, Craig and Jesse found the sweet spot and the result of that gig was the Unforgiven Band. After playing a few more gigs together it was a given that the band should do an album. So, after sorting through about 30 songs they decided on the chosen few to compile their first album Breathe. It was recorded in the most raw and free-spirited way with amps and cables in bedrooms and kitchens in a makeshift studio in the garage. The band wanted to get back to the way music was recorded before the digital age. You play your part and that’s what goes down. If it doesn’t feel right, do it again. If it feels good but it’s not prefect, then it’s probably perfect! The Unforgiven play the Ocean Shores Country Club on Friday at 8pm.

TAURUS: This week’s planetary pace is agreeably in tune with your natural Tauran rhythm: measured, steady, practical, systematic and structured. From midweek’s easy hook-ups to late-week humorous histrionics, Jupiter moving into your house of tangible pleasures for the coming year gifts you a grace period of comfortable congeniality.
J
GEMINI: The ever-busy Gemini mind can multitask like nobody’s business, but it’s easily distracted. This week helps focus your awesome mental powers on upgrading living arrangements, prioritising career options and firming up financial plans, so work with it. Bold ideas will need attention to detail before they can proceed.

Leo, passion’s in fashion. You’re enthusiastic, popular and gung-ho ambitious. Also probably pretty insistent. Don’t sabotage promising possibilities by being too pushy; when you sense others withdraw, dial back a notch and let this peak week work its magic for you.
CANCER: The present astro-cycle’s excellent for organising financial affairs, making practical decisions, acting on reliable advice. It’s about discrimination, consolidation, stability and efficiency – sensible acquisitions, accurate assessment, precision thinking. Stop yawning, because Venus also drops some fizzy pills of love, money and fun into this week’s cosmic cocktail…
CULTURE THE BOY WITH THE GREEN THUMBS
TreeTop Theatre, a children’s theatre company with a social vision and international roots, is sprouting its first seed with the production of Tistou, the boy with the green thumbs. Based on a French classic, Tistou is an eight-year-old boy who reminds us that life can flower into so much more than the fixed ideas many adults bring to it. With the help of the gardener, Tistou discovers a hidden talent. Can he use this talent to change the ugliness and misery he encounters: prisons, slums, hospitals… even war? Shows will be held at Ocean Shores Community Centre, Saturday 1.30 and 4pm; and Sunday at 11am. Tickets $5 per child three years and older, $10 per adult and $20 per family (up to four people).

TO BE OR NOT TO BE Off the back of directing the critically acclaimed, awardwinning Henry V for Bell Shakespeare in 2014, Damien Ryan will deliver a new production of Hamlet, one of Shakespeare’s greatest tragedies. Hamlet is a detailed family portrait in the political landscape of a ‘rotten’ Denmark, a country furiously preparing for war, not realising that the enemy lies within. Hamlet is a young man cast in an unfamiliar role in a story he never expected to tell. Deeply saddened by the sudden death of his father, he is further shocked to find his mother quickly remarried to his uncle, the dead king’s brother.

LEO: Sun, Mars and Venus in Leo shine this week’s spottie on you hotties living large, soaking up the luuurve and having yourselves a right royal splurge. Difficult, demanding people are the one snag in this idyllic pic, and handling them tactfully’s your challenge – as well as not being one of them.
VIRGO: Your ruler Mercury’s in Virgo, plus next week’s sun. Adding icing to this auspicious cake is genial game-changer Jupiter, the zodiac’s sugar daddy, visiting Virgo for twelve months of fortunate support that buffs up your personal charisma and rearranges daily routines to feel much more like the splendid adventures they really are.
M
SAGITTARIUS: Although progress may not be fanging along quite as swiftly as Sagittarians would like, keep in mind that long-term plans take time to mature and ripen. Meanwhile, this week recommends making some pragmatic adjustments to financial habits – along with considering the concept that all the way to heaven is heaven.
N
CAPRICORN: With Mercury and Jupiter moving into a fellow earth sign, it’s time for you sensible sensualists to explore your romantic nature and natural talents. You like order and control; the present Venus cycle can work wonders for your creative self-expression, but only if you’re willing to loosen the reins a little.
O
P
LIBRA: As Venus, your ruling planet, encores in Libra’s house of friendships and group associations, emphasising the benefits of the collective, you achieve more being part of a team than flying solo. But among the shared pleasures, congenial connections and mood-elevating entertainments, quiet time to yourself is always good medicine.
L
SCORPIO: With Saturn moving forward in your sign, you get to apply what you’ve learnt and put those experiential lessons into practice. Fiercely motivating Mars and late-week Scorpio moon are eye openers, so use their intense energy to widen your perspective and longstanding problems could finally (and that’s finally!) dissolve.
Haunted by his mother’s perceived crime, Hamlet is a mass of contradictions and a modern anti-hero. He is at once vulgar, misogynistic and cruel while being overwhelmed by insecurities and indecision. He stands before us and speaks the truth, confronting us with just how fragile our ideals of family, love, community, loyalty, faithfulness and the courage to act can be. The production offers a giant window to the inner machinations of Elsinore, a place where nothing and no-one is ever safe from the prying, eavesdropping, awareness of others; an environment under insidious surveillance and secret tyranny.
With good company, delicious food, a relaxed cafe atmosphere and some improvised playback theatre of course! ‘Dying To Talk’ is a great opportunity to experience this. Cape Byron Playback Theatre Company have teamed up with the Natural Death Care Centre to bring you another Death Cafe experience with a difference. Death cafes have been happening in the Shire for a several years; they are part of a global movement to bring people together for more open, informative and often lively conversations about death. The aim is to increase awareness and familiarity around dying and loss, and to encourage people to make the most of their lives.
Bell Shakespeare company present Hamlet at Lismore City Hall on Saturday 29 August at 7.30pm and Monday 31 August at 11am and 7.30pm. Bookings: 1300 066 772 or www.norpa.org.au.
Dying To Talk is on Saturday 29 August at the Mullum Drill Hall. Doors open and food available 6–9pm. Mullum Community Gardens will have delicious food for sale. Tickets are $10 from Mullum Bookshop, Byron Bay’s Mary Ryan’s or online at www. trybooking.com/148260.
DEATH CAFE ABOUT DYING How do you begin to talk about death and dying in the Byron Shire?
It’s an intimate venue and space is limited to 80 people, so get in early.
COUNTRY SONG
AQUARIUS: This week moves forward in creative partnerships and projects, stabilising relationships and shared ventures. As Venus reviews past history, new prospects go under the microscope for viability, desirability and practical application. Don’t overlook the fun factor either: it’s an underrated but essential ingredient in what lasts and what doesn’t.
PISCES: You’ll need a clear head this week. Not always easy with your boss planet Neptune fogging the mental screen, so take a step towards clarity by addressing the to-do list – there’s plenty of astral assistance for it. Also for celebrating a feeling of achievement afterwards with late-week’s unexpected guests.

TICKETS FOR THE DRILL HALL BALLAD OF EDGAR AND MARY The Ballad of Edgar and Mary was commissioned by the Drill Hall Theatre Company with assistance from the Anzac Centenary Program. The work is co-written by Claude Gonzalez and Gregory Aitken and it tells the story of a Mullumbimby soldier serving in France in WWI, and his wife, who has aspirations of becoming a music-hall singer. Only ninety tickets are available for the opening on Friday 9 October of The Ballad of Edgar and Mary. Tickets can be purchased online at www.drillhalltheatre.org. au and this week at The Bookshop Mullumbimby if the opening and closing events have not sold out. The closing event is 1pm for 2pm on Sunday 25 October. Described as a boutique musical, the entertainment is the beginning of the centenary season of the Drill Hall. Tickets for the gala opening and closing events are $30.
MOONLIGHT AND MAGNOLIAS Legendary Hollywood producer David O Selznick (Peter Harding) has suspended his scriptwriter for the film Gone with the Wind. His choice for a replacement, writer and playwright Ben Hecht (Trevor Stone), is available for one week only. Hecht arrives and drops a bombshell. He has only read the first page of the book! This is a disaster. Selznick has also fired his Gone with the Wind producer and he pulls producer Victor Fleming (Mike Sheehan) from finishing filming of The Wizard of Oz. Selznick locks the three of them in his office for five days and feeds them nothing but bananas and peanuts, his idea of brain food. They are attended by his assistant, Miss Poppenghul (Jenny Briguglio). The end result must be a film script. Moonlight and Magnolias is based on the true story behind the making of the movie. Moonlight and Magnolias will be staged at the Players Theatre over 4–19 September.
Evening performances will commence at 8pm and Sunday matinees at 2pm. Openingnight patrons will receive a complimentary glass of champagne. Book online at www. ballinaplayers.com.au or at Just Funkin Music, 6686 2440.
THE WORM THAT TURNED Everyone needs to eat and, as Wendell Berry says, ‘Eating is an agricultural act’. So we’re all involved with agriculture, and therefore we all together have the power to change the system by choosing where we buy our food. The documentary The Worm is Turning shows with historical footage where the current corporate model of chemical, monoculture-style farming comes from, and how it was spread around the world, using India as the prime example. From dead soil to the ‘cancer train’ in Punjab, we get to see the effects of this
type of agriculture. The film also has amazing examples of farmers – from India, to USA to Australia – showing that ecological farming is better for human health and the environment, a method that is sustainable and restorative. Study after study has shown that small, ecological farms are in fact more productive and efficient with resources, and are the best model for the future. The film connects the dots on global food issues and features Vandana Shiva, Joel Salatin, Helena Norberg-Hodge, Raj Patel, Winona LaDuke, Bob Cannard, Will Allen, Bhaskar Save, Meriel Watts, Devinder Sharma, PV Satheesh, Olivier De Schutter and many more. Screening at the Byron Community Centre on Wednesday at 6pm. The film screening will be followed by Q&A with a panel including the filmmakers. Tickets are $20 and available at Santos stores or at the door. The event is sponsored by Santos Organics.

The Royal Shakespeare Company’s production of The Merchant of Venice screens at Palace Cinema this week, the first production in the 2015 Live from Stratford-upon-Avon program screening RSC works live from Shakespeare’s hometown. In the melting pot of Venice, trade is god. With its ships plying the globe, the city opens its arms to all, as long as they come prepared to do business and there is profit to be made. Shakespeare has been performed and celebrated in his Stratford hometown for centuries and the RSC has trained generations of the very best theatre makers since the company was founded in 1961, pioneering contemporary approaches to Shakespeare’s plays as well as staging the work of those who inspired him and the work of today’s playwrights. Screening at the Palace at 1pm on Saturday.
CINEMA REVIEWS
FIVE FLIGHTS UP OPENS THURS
MERCHANT OF VENICE AT THE PALACE
Richard Loncraine made the charming My House In Umbria (2003), and in his latest movie he has returned to the theme of place and how much our lives are ineradicably intertwined with it. Maggie Smith carried the day in Umbria and Loncraine has again called on a couple of veterans of the screen to tell his story – what a rare treat it is to see a film aimed at an audience that needs more than just bullet-proof goons performing in front of a green-screen for its stimulation. Morgan Freeman and Diane Keaton are both in fine form as Alex and Ruth, who are confronted with the emotional wrench of selling the Brooklyn apartment that they moved into as newlyweds forty years earlier. At a time when culturally we seem to be obsessed with real estate, knowing the price of everything but the value of nothing, it warms the cockles to be reminded of the human factor in such transactions. Not a lot out of the ordinary happens – the usual array of potential punters and voyeurs invade on open-house days while, as Ruth’s niece Lilly, Cynthia Nixon does a brilliant turn playing the agent who pulls out all stops and employs all the jargon in an effort to get the best price for the property. Ruth and Alex, in the meantime, are inspecting apartments that they might move to, and it is a process that inevitably leads them to reflect on their life together. Flashbacks link the past with the present, as they should, but they also open a door into the private world and memories that are part of the bricks and mortar. This is a slow-burn movie, with plenty of gentle and sometimes cutting humour to lighten the everyday drama that confronts the couple. Of the two secondary threads, the trauma surrounding the couple’s ailing dog Dorothy works much better than the inconsequential news cuts to the terrorist at large in the city, but Loncraine never veers too far from what makes us who we are.
HOLDING THE MAN Australian actor Ryan Corr will be in Byron Bay this week for the northern rivers premiere of Holding The Man, a new film in which he has the starring role. The screening is to be held at Palace Byron Bay Cinema on Sunday and is a fundraiser for ACON, NSW’s leading HIV prevention and support group. The film is a wonderfully moving love story set in the early years of Australia’s HIV crisis, and is based on the memoir of Timothy Conigrave, who worked as a health promotion officer at ACON in the early 1990s developing HIV-prevention campaigns. The event is sponsored by an investor in the film, Byron Shire local Peter Waters of Byron Plantation and The Arthouse. Holding The Man had its world premiere at the recent Sydney Film Festival, where it received critical and popular acclaim. Tickets for the Sunday premiere, which also features a Q&A with Ryan Corr, are $25 or $15 concession, and include a pre-film drink. They can be purchased through acon.org.au/HTMByron.

THE MAN FROM UNCLE
The biography on IMDb of multi-Oscar-winning director William Wyler, who gave us the timeless Roman Holiday, argues that his genius is not recognised because of ‘the lack of an obvious signature’. In our age of baubles, sound bites and ever-bigger splashes, a trend to overvalue the filmmaker who hammers the boldest imprimatur into his work has become rampant. Guy Ritchie is one such beneficiary of this cult of celebrity (though credit where it’s due: RocknRolla was a ripper). His movies are very blokey, in a gay macho way, and his penchant for making an impact through the visually startling has nearly always betrayed an inclination to place style before content. And so it is here. Towards the end of his adaptation of the iconic sixties TV series, Napoleon Solo (Henry Cavill) and Illya Kuryakin (Armie Hammer) break into a dockside warehouse. I realised that I was not exactly sure why they were doing that, but worse, I didn’t really care. Ritchie, perhaps fearing that others in his audience might be feeling similarly disconnected, falls back on the old split-screen device to wake us up. The trick succeeds, as eye candy nearly always does, and it leads to a spectacularly welldone set-piece that involves a truck landing on top of a boat – all of it accompanied by contrived music. Indeed, Ritchie’s reliance on soundtrack only highlights the paucity of his narrative (but again, credit where it’s due – the scene with Alicia Vikander dancing in her jammies to Solomon Burke’s Cry to Me is fab). Cavill is fine in the rather anodyne Robert Vaughn role, but the smartest decision that Ritchie made was to not try to come up with a new David McCallum. Hammer is huge and dense, so none of us need fear an overwhelming attack of nostalgia for the snowy-haired original. The two stars work well together, and it is good to see Hugh Grant back doing his shtick, albeit respectably grey and bespectacled, it’s just a pity that the material they’re given is so trite.

8 - 9:30am
On 2 March 2015 at approximately 8.00am on the Pacific Highway near Crabbes Creek in NSW, a ladder fell off what is believed to be a white van with red markings, which was travelling in the northbound lane. The ladder fell into the path of a white Nissan vehicle, which was also travelling in the northbound lane behind the said white van, causing the driver of that vehicle to lose control and run off the highway into a safety barrier. Any person who may have witnessed this incident, or has any information that could assist in identifying the offending motor vehicle from which the ladder fell, is requested to please contact Ms Myf Sewell of Somerville Laundry Lomax Solicitors Tel: (02) 6621 2481.

Byron Rams 2015’s big winners Story & photo Dogwhistle
With the Northern Hotel Byron Bay Rams’ comfortable lead eroded by a draw and an upset loss in the last two weeks, Sunday’s top-of-thetable clash with Richmond Rovers was billed as the ‘match of the season’. With the pointscore championship on the line in both Premier and Premier Reserves divisions, the Rams were on the cusp of a history-making double. Richmond Rovers, last year’s Grand Final winners, were keen to wrest the minor premiership title from the Rams and were in for a fight.
Reserves HELP US Reserves match started SAVE DOGS The strong, despite the drench-

ing rain, with both sides going full tilt from the opening whistle. Byron’s solid attack was met with dangerous counterattacks from the Rovers, and the game see-sawed from end to end. The Rams seemed to have the edge early, with four runs at the Rovers goal in the first two minutes. A Rovers counterattack 15 minutes in caught the defence wrong footed and the Rovers took the lead with an early goal. Byron continued its high-intensity attack, with many shots from Conor Cannon, Herrick Schuenemann and Kazuhiro Tsukamoto but none finding the net. Five
minutes into the second half Jonathan Pierce battled his way through the tough Rovers defence and managed to get a cross away into the Rovers box. Kazuhiro Tsukamoto made no mistake and leveled the score at 1–1. A moment later, in a clumsy goal-mouth skirmish, Rovers managed to sink a ball after a half-dozen deflected close-range attempts. Byron fought back hard and probably had the best of the play, but were unable to claw back the lead. Rovers took the match and the competition lead for the second time. The Rams Reserves are still in the hunt for the pointscore title – just. A win against Alstonville and draw between Rovers and Thistles would give them the title on goal difference.
Premiers The top-squad match was as intense and lively as an-
ticipated with ‘sheep stations’ definitely on the table. Once again, the Rams looked marginally the better side, but Rovers were giving away nothing in grit and determination. Byron opened the scoring 25 minutes into the first half when James Tomlinson battled his way through the Rovers flank to cross to Tyson Kaye unmarked on the six yard box. One–nil. Another twenty minutes of fast and furious football played out before Rovers equalised seconds before the half-time whistle. The second half was even more hotly contested, with the scoreline locked at one-all and both sides determined to take the honours. Byron again had the better of the opportunities with seemingly countless shots on goal from Tomlinson, Kaye, Sam Owens, Michael Kelly and Alejo
Villesana with none beating the Rovers defence and keeper. Minutes before the whistle, Tomlinson beat two defenders and blasted a drive through the back line. The Rovers keeper couldn’t contain it and the Rams took the lead once again. The battle continued unabated right down to the wire, with Rovers desperate to get back into the game and the Rams still chasing goals. The final scoreline at 2–1 gave Byron the Pointscore Championship for the second year in succession and a valuable head start on the finals series. Next week, The Rams play away at Alstonville with the Reserves needing a win to keep their Minor Premiership hopes afloat and the Prems with pride on the line. Reserves kick off at 1pm and the Prems at 3pm.
Late scalps no help for the Swingers Brian Mollet
You could say that Lomath oval glistened, but it was more like the shine from a plate of oysters naturale, the famous outfield having the consistency of a sea anemone at high tide. On Sunday in conditions that would send a Himalayan hermit scurrying back to his cave the weekend warriors of the Nick Shand Memorial series were undeterred, and agreed to play an abbreviated 22-over game in the steady drizzle. Scruff of Left Bankers called correctly and sent the Suffolk Swingers into the slimy outfield in the match that would decide who would qualify for the finals as minor premiers. Skipper of the Swingers Levi (1–7) had early success, skating one into Leon’s stumps, but from there Russ and Shaun compiled unbeaten 30s raising many a splash
in the outfield as they sent the spongy ball skidding to all parts. Eli’s (28) offside play was visual poetry and he and Bruce (27) bullied the middle overs, taking the Bankers from 1–3 to 1–133. Late scalps to Toby (2–7) and the central scrutiniser Brian were not enough to stuff the cork back in the geni bottle as the Swingers target to win was a very hard and proud 151. The shark-dodging surf dudes did well early with the bat as Owen (34 n/o) and Chi put on 30, then Toby (41) and Lionel made it clear they were going to give the big total a crack. Wickets to ex-legend Gazza, Sean and the statesmanlike ‘stonewall’ Phil burst the bubble for the Swingers, who threw caution to the cyclone in a late suicidal blaze, Rob (3–12), Blake, Eli and Russ all taking wickets. The Swingers fell 21 short of the total but did enough to
worry the Bankers at times, and are already planning for a rematch in the final in three weeks’ time. \

Backlash Sharks are certainly the flavour of the week with the national news media after a series of attacks on the NSW north coast. Most of the reporting has varied from pedestrian to shock, horror, while at least the ABC offers up some news on research into the sharks’ behaviour. The fact that 58 women have been killed this year by violent partners or ex-partners seems to have slipped into the background. Q Q Q Q

Greens MP for Ballina Tamara Smith with her adviser Amy Phillips in their Knitting Nannas Against Gas berets crashed the Carnival of Coal in NSW parliament last week. According to Greens MP Jeremy Buckingham, ‘Liberal Party MP Peter Phelps, who organised the event, delivered a stirring speech which included lines like. “Coal is the most pro-human of all substances” and “To love coal is to love humanity”. He ended by declaring that Tony Abbott was right on coal. After his speech, the small crowd of Liberal, National MPs and coal industry executives shouted three cheers to coal.’ We’re surprised there wasn’t a replica of Gautam Adani’s arse the happy crew could kiss or stick their noses into.

‘It’s a simple idea, really: you can’t come up with a form of recognition that will mean anything to Indigenous people until they have figured out exactly what that is themselves.’ So suggests the incomparable Waleed Aly in an article in SMH (http://bit. ly/alyindig) after Tony Abbott rebuffed Noel Pearson’s suggestion that ‘the path to Indigenous constitutional recognition goes through Indigenous Australians’. It also strikes us as passing strange that the minister for Indigenous affairs is not Indigenous and the minister for women is not a woman. In fact, both of them were born in London. Is this the delayed revenge of the British cattle barons for having to pay Aboriginal stockmen and give back some bits of Australia?
