Byron street crime still at high levels

Might as well be spring fair

Chris Dobney

New Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research (BOCSAR) figures for the 12 months to June 30, 2015 show that non-domestic assaults in Byron Bay were still double the state average. While assaults did drop from a high of 314 in the Byron LGA for the same period last year, 260 were recorded. By comparison, Ballina had 138 assaults (0.8 times the state average); Lismore 293 (1.6); Richmond 126 (1.3) and Tweed 300 (0.8). Figures for another typical latenight street crime, stealing from a person, are even worse, with Byron LGA clocking 2.5 times the state average, 63 incidents in total (an increase of 11 from the previous year). All other regions saw a slight drop in this offence, except Richmond Valley, which saw a massive rise from 12 to 83, although this still only represents 0.8 of the state average per head of population. Richmond Valley Councillors will no doubt be hoping the recent installation of CCTV cameras will be worthwhile, as they only came online towards the end of the survey period. Sexual assault saw an even worse result for Byron, with a greater than 50 per cent increase in cases, from 20 last year to 31 this year. Apart from Tweed, all LGAs on the northern rivers had higher than state average incidences of sexual assault, with Ballina 1.2 times the state average, Byron 1.6, Lismore continued on page 2

Saturday’s annual Spring Fair at Shearwater Steiner School entertained families with not only the usual high quality entertainment, food and kids’ activities, but with a tour and launch of the farm and trade skills centre. It’s the school’s latest venture, where Vocational Education and Training (VET) Certificate I courses in AgriFood Operations and Agriculture are being offered to year nine students over three years. Certificate II courses will be offered in 2016. Shearwater agriculture teacher Robert Sutherland says the opportunity to cook while gardening, plan future crops and tree plantings and share gratitude for the land, ‘all make for a very interesting project.’ Pictured are Jazzy and Ashah.

Dog owner jailed over attack The owner of a dangerous dog that mauled and seriously injured a woman at Byron Bay’s Roadhouse cafe in July has been given a sixmonth jail sentence. Adam Coates, who is part owner of Roadhouse cafe, faced Byron Bay local court on Friday for sentencing – he failed to comply with a previous court order as the owner of a ‘menacing dog’. He pleaded guilty. Mr Coates’s mastiff dog bit a 30-year-old woman on the nose in July at the cafe. The woman had to undergo reconstructive surgery in Gold Coast University Hospital. Byron Shire Council’s legal services co-ordinator, Ralph James, told The Echo at the time that the dog had previously been declared menacing and the owner’s failure to comply with menacing-dog control requirements had ‘facilitated the attack’. He said the dog should have been muzzled and on a lead. The animal, known as a vicious breed, was put down following the attack.

Mullum’s hospital land secretly nabbed Luis Feliu & Hans Lovejoy

NSW health bureaucrats have been accused of an illegal land grab of the Mullumbimby Hospital site and a public campaign – including a public meeting on September 17 – has been launched to retain the site for a community aged-care and socialhousing precinct. According to the Mullumbimby

Hospital Action Group, the land was set aside as a public trust and reserved for a hospital in 1900, with the first four trustees of the Mullumbimby Hospital Reserve Trust appointed for a four-year term in 1902. But the most recent four-member trust was dissolved quietly in 2010 after two of its members suddenly quit, leaving it without an official quorum. Group member Elaine Robinson

says the community had been involved in fundraising for the hospital over many years and the trust had managed the area on Hospital Hill, including the community health buildings and adjoining nursing home site. ‘A Mr Wallace’ owned a portion of the land, Mrs Robinson said, and ‘deeded it in perpetuity to the town to build a hospital and health

services when needed and we have always believed it was our land’. Another action group member Dr Michael Pelmore told The Echo the community lost control of the land and use thereof when the trust was dissolved, ‘which we don’t believe was legal; there was no explanation, no public notice, nothing’. It’s a view which retiring NNSW continued on page 2

North Coast news daily:

Hospital land grab 60 years in bloom continued from page 1 LHD chief executive Chris Crawford has confirmed – he told The Echo the dissolution of the trust in 2010 was not publicly announced to his knowledge. As for consultation to determine future use of the site, he replied, ‘This is yet to be determined. Consistent with NSW Health policy and NSW government asset recycling policies, property assets that are surplus to the requirements of NSW Health are usually divested with the funds raised being retained by NSW Health for reinvestment in new health facilities.’ Mr Crawford also says some of the sites acquired ‘are in the process of being transferred back to Crown Lands with the remaining Mullumbimby Hospital site being retained by the Health Administration Corporation.’ It’s expected that the

building will be demolished early next year once the new Byron Central Hospital is commissioned. But that’s a questionable decision given some of the newer buildings such as the ED and birthing unit are believed to contain no asbestos. In reply, Mr Crawford said, ‘If the building[s] contains asbestos then it will definitely be demolished.’ While no final decision has been made on the future of the site, locals fear the land could be sold off to a private interest and the community will lose a site which was dedicated more than 100 years ago for a public hospital. The group say there is a ‘desperate need’ for the site to be used for aged care, disabled young adults and victims of domestic violence. A public meeting will be held from 7pm on Thursday September 17 at the Mullumbimby Civic Hall.

Further to last week’s story, Potts donates to YAC, The Echo has been advised that the $1,000 was actually donated by Fishheads restaurant, not the artist, Potts.

Thinkers and intellectual types listen up – UK philosophical heavyweight AC Grayling will be appearing at the Byron Bay Community Centre, Thursday September 10 from 6pm. Mr Grayling is the author of many acclaimed books, including The God Argument, where he ‘examines all the arguments and associated considerations offered in support of religious belief.’ His latest, which he is currently promoting, is The Challenge of Things: Thinking Through Troubled Times. ‘By thinking through difficult topics in troubled times,

The Byron District Orchid Society is holding its 60th anniversary show on September 10 and 11 at the Mullumbimby Ex-Services Club. Secretary of the Byron District Orchid Society, Penny Fox, says, ‘This is a remarkable achievement for a small local band of orchid lovers.’ Entries for the show are open to the whole community and aren’t limited to only members of the society.

Penny told The Echo, ‘The original surviving member I belive is June Sheaffe.’ ‘The society used to go to Lismore, but enough people joined for a local area group. ‘Eventually, Ewingsdale Hall was settled on after rotating around local towns. We are lucky to have the Mullumbimby Ex-Services Club as a venue.’ If you have an orchid in flower that you’d like to enter, contact Penny on 6680 1600.

1.8 and Richmond Valley a horrifying 2.1 times the state average. Break and enters were another area on which Richmond Valley scored badly, at 3.3 times the state average, representing 131 incidents. Overall, the Tweed was the safest shire in the northern rivers, with figures below state average scores for every type of crime except domestic violence and stealing from a motor vehicle – and even these were only marginally above (1.1).

Burning off Did you know that if you live in an urban area, a fire permit is required to carry out open-air burning at all times?

Come along and meet over 30 organisations with volunteer and work placement opportunities, door prizes and the launch of the Byron Community Centre Volunteer Hub.

The need to burn off in urban areas has been dramatically reduced with the new green organics bin collection service turning green waste products into a beneﬁcial natural resource. If you choose to burn off in an urban area, permits can be obtained by contacting Fire and Rescue NSW 02 9265 2999 or visit their website www.ﬁre.nsw.gov.au. In rural areas, choose alternative methods to burning off such as using green waste as mulch, soil stabiliser or stockpiling it to gradually decompose. If you choose to burn, you must ensure the timber is dry, not green and have

consideration for the impact of smoke on your own health and the health of others. Fires must be attended at all times when alight and extinguished when left. It is best to have a small ﬁre and add to it, rather than burn large stockpiles. Treated timbers, tyres, paints, solvents or any unnatural materials cannot be burnt off at any time. Fines can apply.

Protect your health and the health and safety of others keep our air clean and COMPOST. Don’t burnt it!

Local News Anti-fluoride ‘BS’: Rous Water chair

Foodies’ fun day out

Darren Coyne

Rous Water chair and Ballina councillor Sue Meehan has inadvertently copied Lismore’s Greens councillor Vanessa Ekins into a message intended for Rous general manager Kyme Lavelle. The email was in response to Cr Ekins’ intention to move a motion calling for the suspension of fluoridation until the National Health and Medical Council had completed a review into reducing concentrations of fluoride. ‘Kyme this is just bluff and bluster from the lips of our sworn enemy of fluoride… ‘Do not spend any money complying with Vanessa’s BS!!!!’ The Echo has contacted Cr Sue Meehan for comment.

The arrival of a digger and building materials Tuesday morning onto Belongil Beach has prompted a bid for an injunction against Byron Shire Council’s controversial rock wall. The Environmental Defenders Office (EDO) secured a last-minute hearing in the NSW Land and Environment

Northern NSW Local Health District (NNSW LHD) has released an update on the progression of the Byron Central Hospital, which is expected to be completed in March 2016. The presse release says the ‘two Byron Shire hospitals will be closed when Byron Central Hospital is ready for occupancy.’

As for surgical services, the department says, ‘Following an EOI process that indicated satisfactory interest from private providers NSW Health Infrastructure is conducting a tender process to engage the private sector in potentially providing day surgery for both public and private patients in the Shire.’

Byron Central Hospital update

Court in Sydney after Council’s lawyers rejected a request for an Environmental Impact Statement to be carried out. Council instead gave the agreed 72-hours notice for starting work on the wall to community lobby group Positive Change for Marine Life, which the EDO is representing. The legal challenge, if successful, could set a precedent across Australia in regard to

how local government deals with coastal erosion from the impact of sea-level rises owing to climate change. Positive Change for Marine Life spokesman Christopher Deimel said the interlocutory injunction was a vital action and showed the Byron community was ‘standing behind local beach protection’. He said Positive Change for Marine Life was also

urgently seeking the community’s financial support for the impending court case if the injunction succeeded, and that donations for the #SaveByronsBeaches campaign could be made to: https://planetfunder.org/projects/savebyronsbeaches. Opponents say the plan was rushed through, despite fears of unforeseen outcomes such as sand and habitat loss.

Cape Byron Marine Parks under threat The Baird state government has launched a community consultation into its plan to revoke sanctuary protections at two sites in Cape Byron Marine Park – Tyagarah Beach and East Cape Byron. The government is proposing revocations at ten beaches and headlands across four marine parks in NSW. The public consultation period runs until November 13. Nature Conservation

Council campaigns director Daisy Barham says the government’s own scientific audit recommended maintaining the current system of marine parks and enhancing the protection of biodiversity in a number of additional areas. This action will be an important first step in rebuilding the legacy of environmental cuts by the former O’Farrell government. ‘This will be a crucial test

for Mike Baird, who says that protecting our marine environment is important to him. This is his chance to match his talk with action and restore all ten marine sanctuaries. Member for Ballina Tamara Smith (Greens) has added her support, saying, ‘The government is on the wrong side on this issue with 90 per cent of recreational fishers supporting no-take marine sanctuaries.’ ‘Australian and interna-

tional scientists say we need 20–30 per cent of marine areas protected in sanctuaries to ensure the resilience and health of marine life into the future. ‘We have a long way to go in NSW, as seven per cent of the state’s waters are currently fully protected from fishing in marine sanctuaries.’ Submissions can be made at www.marine.nsw.gov.au/ key-initiatives/ocean-beachesand-headlands-assessment.

When governments hack, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legal? Top hacking company gets, um, hacked, and its data reveals secret govt programs Skype. The emails show that IBAC and the NT Police had demonstration sessions, and the AFP was billed for offensive spyware worth close to half a million dollars.

Phillip Frazer

Last week I described the very bad act of parliament that becomes law next month â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Telecommunications (Interception and Access) Amendment (Data Retention) Bill 2015 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that will require telcos and ISPs to track and store our phone calls, emails, and web visits. The aim is so 20-plus government agencies â&#x20AC;&#x201C; spies and cops mostly â&#x20AC;&#x201C; can look at our metadata and then ask a judge to give them a secret warrant to go deeper into our lives â&#x20AC;&#x201C; listening to our phone calls, reading our emails, and watching where we go online, for instance. All that stuff was already legal or will be on October 13. But thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another layer of spying which is not so legal. It involves infecting your computer or mobile device with a trojan or similar malware to allow its controller to listen in and watch you, after they take over the microphone and camera built into your device. And also to rearrange and/ or steal any amount of your data, and to send messages or more malware to everyone in your contacts file. The technology has been around for years, and mostly we hear about it in warnings from well-behaved internet citizens such as banks or retailers alerting us to tricks used by bad-behaving hackers and crooks. And an industry has grown up around detecting, deflecting, and deleting the baddiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; malware. But malware spying is now a booming business, with the malware designed, manufactured, and sold by legitimate

corporations around the world. WikiLeaks estimates that the global computer surveillance technology market is worth $5 billion a year. This includes businesses that sell anti-malware software, so you can find malware made by criminals. But what about surveillance software emanating from governments who spy on each other (think Angela Merkelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mobile phone) or on the governmentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; own citizens? Actually, governments are these guysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; best customers, and we know this because of a recent incident involving a corporate purveyor called, simply, Hacking Team.

440 GB of data They are Milan-based and sell surveillance worms. Additionally they offer brochures, training programs, and demonstration sessions, just like any other service company. Turns out police forces and spy agencies had been secretly scrambling to buy their latest programs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; except that last June the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;secretlyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; thing got blown away when someone hacked the Hacking Team and uploaded 440 gigabytes of their sensitive data onto the internet. So now we know that

the company has sold their gear to dozens of dictatorial governments including Sudan, Egypt, Bahrain, Tunisia, Azerbaijan, andâ&#x20AC;Ś the Northern Territory Police. Yes, among the thousands of emails hacked from Hacking Teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s files are missives to and from government agencies in our own fair nation, including the Australian Security and Intelligence Organization (ASIO), the Australian Federal Police (AFP), the NSW and NT police, and Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anti-corruption commission IBAC. All no doubt thrilled by the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s promise that their software is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;totally invisible to the targetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, and will allow them to get emails and text messages, and record phone conversations including internet-based calls like

Since the Hacking Team outing, our various police outfits have either refused to confirm or deny (AFP) or assure us that they looked but never bought the malware. And their spin-masters have emphasised that bugging a meeting of, say, bikie-gang drug-dealers, by infecting a top-dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s MacBook, makes us all safer. Which it might, but whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deciding which devices to infect; who decides whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a danger to the community and who isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t? Answer: guys like Tony Abbott and thousands of cops and spies who think people like Echo readers are eco-terrorists and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;vigilantistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. So what are the odds that at least one laptop, tablet, phone or camera in the tent where folks are planning the next protest against Metgasco is transmitting every word and a crisp colour video of every one of us, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;targetsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; all.

Alleged police assault Roundhouse hits market A toast to a pub rebuilt victim seeks witness A woman claiming to be the victim of a police assault is asking for a witness to come forward who she believes filmed the incident. She told The Echo, ‘I was apprehended by a highway patrol officer Monday August 31 at 10.35am on the Pacific Highway, just before the Mullum exit.’ ‘As a conscientious objector, I repeatedly did not give consent for my DNA being taken in an oral liquid [saliva swab] test.’ She says she was finally arrested with the officer using excessive violence and force and has suffered significant physical, emotional and psychological trauma.

‘He used one of his weapons, pepper spray, to force me to comply with his demands. ‘A concerned citizen in a blue car stopped to film the [incident] and I am calling for that witness to come forward. ‘I need your help, please, in obtaining a copy of your film.’ She can be contacted on sherparelations@gmail.com. The Echo contacted the Tweed Byron LAC Police duty officer, who replied they had not recieved a complaint. The officer said that their powers to arrest cover those who resist, and if someone believes they were arrested using unreasonable force, a magistrate would decide whether that was the case.

HOW THE BANKS RULE US!

A ‘shortage of money’ drives ecological loss and personal stress

Up for sale by Council – 11 large blocks in perhaps the best spot in Ocean Shores. Selling the former Roundhouse site could well see the end to a marathon battle between Council and residents. Residents fought hard to retain it for public use, while Council argued that it would fund much-needed infrastructure for the suburb. Jan Mangleson, John Youdan and Toni Spruce from the Ocean Shores Community Association (OSCA) said in a statement they are very concerned about the way the Council conducted the Gateway Determination process relating to its reclassification, particularly community consultation. ‘[The] independent consultant who carried out the public consultation meetings and reviewed all the written submissions clearly told the council in his report that the

majority of the community did not want the land reclassified to operational and sold. ‘Of the 176 written and 26 oral statements, only six were in favour of the reclassification to operational. However, on reading the council report of May 21 on the finalisation of the process, one gets the impression that the community response was even, some in favour of the council reclassification and some against. The councillors on May 21 said nothing and voted to go ahead to change the Roundhouse land from community to operational. ‘OSCA has received very reliable information that minister for planning, Rob Stokes, was under the impression there was only one objection to the Roundhouse reclassification, in a letter he received. Who has been advising the minister, and also the governor?’

Hemp crops ‘almost perfect’ A Hunter Valley grazier and well-known industrial hemp grower will address this week’s Byron Bioenergy Conference, to update northern rivers farmers on the fledgling hemp industry. While describing hemp as ‘almost the perfect crop’, he says large-scale hemp-fibre processing is still some time off with a lack of large-scale processing plant. Bob Doyle, a sixth-generation beef farmer from the Paterson Valley near Dungog, says industrial hemp, a relative of the illegal cannabis plant, doesn’t need

pesticides, is water-efficient and can be grown in rotation with lucerne as a break crop. Mr Doyle’s 30-hectare hemp farm in Vacy is one of several industrial hemp plantations grown legally in NSW as an alternative to traditional crops such as lucerne and maize. The hemp industry was legalised in NSW in 2008, giving farmers a chance to sustainably boost their profits. For further information on the Bioenergy Conference on Saturday and Sunday, September 12–13, visit www.byronbiochar.com.au.

Local News Generous $25k raised by Candles for the abandoned Youth hospitality and events management courses on offer Dancing with the Stars Around $25,000 was raised for Cancer Council NSW at a sold out Stars of Byron Shire Dance For Cancer, held last Saturday at the Byron Theatre. Jenelle Stanford from Mullumbimby Newsagency won the award for highest fundraiser, followed by realtor Russell Siwicki, a close second. Helen Jarvis and Candice Leigh of Pole Catz won the people’s choice on the night and the judges’ choice was tied between Byron Bay police representative Hannah Logan, her dance partner Tori Jeftic from Funky Moves, and Byron Shire Echo’s Michelle Hall and her teacher Greg Wilson from Bangalow Rockers.

Tony’s punching-Labor policy wears thin

Volume 30 #13

September 9, 2015

Land returned, Mr Crawford?

o here we are at another Abbott anniversary – two years gone, one to go. And as we start the run-up to the final 12 months, it is time to take stock: just what have we got for it and what can we expect?

Or, more brutally, just what is the point of the Abbott government?

The chief executive of the Northern NSW Local Health District (NNSW LHD) has announced his retirement at the end of the year. For 15 years, Chris Crawford has been the head bureaucratic honcho of the region’s health department. It’s obviously a tough and demanding job, and would come with all sorts of expectations and pressures from community, his staff and the state government. Then again, such a job does pay reasonably well. Mr Crawford says his achievements include completion of Grafton Base Hospital’s (GBH) stage one and two, together with the construction of Yamba Community Health Centre and Pottsville HealthOne. ‘Lismore Base Hospital stage 3 and Byron Central Hospital were well advanced’, he said, adding that other funded projects were the pipeline: ‘The Tweed Hospital stage 4a, GBH Ambulatory Care Centre, Ballina Hospital operating theatre medical imaging upgrade, Bonalbo Multipurpose Service and the Coraki HealthOne Centre.’ But Mr Crawford’s management was also mired in controversy. Closure of Coraki and Bonalbo hospitals caused outrage, along with the attempted removal of a night-time doctor service from Mullumbimby Hospital. Another recent decision was the removal of birthing services from Murwillumbah Hospital. His tenure has also been dogged by shortages of nurses and allied health professionals at Lismore and Tweed hospitals, with claims from staff that management purposefully delayed recruitment to staunch budgetary holes. Part of his legacy will also be how he deals with the Mullum community and its hospital. So far, Mr Crawford has not indicated much interest in honouring the agreement between the community and the health department to retain it for use as a medical facility. In 1900, the land was gifted to the state government by a resident to be used always as a health facility. And from then on, more community members paid for improvements and additional buildings. Under his watch and without public consultation, the land was transferred from the trust to Crown Lands in 2010. While its future use is still to be ‘determined’, it’s earmarked for questionable demolition. Mullum Hospital should remain a facility for locals, not as Crown Land consolidated revenue. It’s time to give the land back to the community, Mr Crawford. Hans Lovejoy and Chris Dobney

This is a question I asked many years ago while interviewing the long-serving and successful NSW premier Neville Wran. Wran, a wealthy and celebrated QC, had taken over the Labor leadership of the lacklustre Pat Hills, and had become a political star: Wran was The Man. But once elected, he didn’t actually seem to do very much. When I asked him to enumerate the highlights, he mentioned one of the big ones as the encouragement of outdoor dining in cafes. It didn’t seem a lot: so what was it that made him go through the sacrifices – financial and personal, the awful hours, the constant frustrations, of climbing the greasy totem pole of state politics? What was his driving force? Wran replied in measured and, in those days, still mellifluous tones: ‘To keep the other bastards out.’ And so it is with Tony Abbott: he is defined not by his vision, but by his opponents. When he says, as he often does these days, it is not about him, he is quite correct; but he is dead wrong when he adds that it is really about jobs, growth and national security. These are not an end in themselves, but a means to wedge, denigrate and ultimately (he hopes) destroy Bill Shorten and the ALP. Abbott says he is good at fighting Labor, and he is: his time as opposition leader was Olympic standard as a model of how to bring down a vulnerable

government. But fighting Labor is, it has now appeared, the only thing he is good at; when it came to the more complex task of building a replacement, there has been nothing to offer. Last weekend even his best friend Greg Sheridan admitted in The Australian that the government was going around in circles, presumably as preliminary to disappearing up its own rectum, along with the suppository of all wisdom. Sheridan, as with the other NewsCorps barrackers for Abbott and the Libs, were notably reticent about boosting the achievements of the last two

books for the first two Abbott budgets, propping up the bottom line to the extent of $500 million, but had never been legislated. Now it is gone – another swingeing blow against Labor’s financial waste and extravagance. Another straw man demolished instead of actually doing anything. This has, of course, been the pattern: Labor’s suggestion of looking at any budget measures – superannuation, capital gains tax, negative gearing – have been dismissed, not because they are not worth considering, but simply because they are Labor ideas, and therefore to

Tony Abbott is defined not by his vision, but by his opponents by Mungo MacCallum years; they had to fall back almost entirely on negatives. Abbott ended the carbon tax and the mining tax, he stopped the boats. They did not have much to say about the other magic slogan: fixing the debt and deficit. There are, of course, some positives – mainly the free trade agreements, although in the case of China that too has been deployed more of a weapon against Shorten than as a benefit in its own right. And not content with getting rid of some things Labor has done, Abbott has now resorted to claiming credit for those that it didn’t. Last week he boasted proudly that he had scrapped the bank deposit tax – the insurance guarantee that the previous government had proposed to ensure the safety of assets in the event of a collapse among one or more of the big institutions. This had remained on the

be summarily rejected. In their place we are repeatedly promised ‘conversations’ – about tax, federation, the cost of living, on line gambling – you name it, it is on the table. Just how, or with whom, these cosy chats are to be convened is unclear – in fact, they are no more than distractions from the principal agenda. Only when and if Labor raises an objection will they come into force – implacable, irresistible force. As for action – well, Abbott says he will take any proposals for the next election – or perhaps the one after that. But there will of course be income tax cuts – that’s a firm promise. Well, as firm as the circumstances allow. And this is the big problem; after two years of drift and dithering Abbott and his mates have left the Australian economy in a far worse position than when they found it. It is not all their fault; the

senate has resisted what were generally seen to be unfair and precipitate ambushes, and the international situation has obviously deteriorated. But the same could apply to Kevin Rudd and Wayne Swan and they managed triumphantly. Now we are faced with almost unrelieved gloom, economic indicators dropping towards still uncharted depths. The June quarter growth figure of a derisory 0.2 per cent was, Hockey, noted, a bit below expectations (it was just half what was predicted) but look on the bright side – it was better than Canada, and, er, Brazil. But not as good as Greece, long held up as the basket case of bad management. And, it turned out, only remaining in the black at all because of a surge of government spending, which Hockey promptly disavowed: ‘I can promise you it wasn’t planned this way,’ insisted our accidental treasurer. Hockey continues to be determinedly optimistic, as does his indefatigable finance minister Matthias Corman – it is their job. But it is hard to see much, if anything, to enthuse about. The 2015 budget has disappeared without trace; the much vaunted stimulus to small business has now been buried like a belch in the barrage of bad news. And that appears to be that; there is nothing to look forward to until the next election, when all will be revealed – or at least promised, and we all know how much we can rely on that. The best that can be said is that there is only about 12 months, or probably less, to go; but that does not provide much comfort either. The only certainty is that Tony Abbott will keep on punching to the end. We can only hope that he knocks himself out in the process.

Get on with protecting koalas I feel blessed to live on a property at Tyagarah where koalas regularly occupy trees in close proximity to our dwellings. This is owing to the foresight of the original residents who planted koala food trees and instigated a no cats and dogs policy in the 1980s when the MO was established. In more recent years, with the assistance of Byron Shire Council’s Koala Connections Project, we have created more koala habitat to fill the gaps in the corridor so that koalas are able to move freely through the landscape and interbreed to ensure the genetic health of the population. Our aim is to create a safe passage under the Pacific Highway for koalas through the creek and rail underpasses to avoid koala deaths on the highway at Tyagarah. I urge residents who are proud of Byron Shire’s environmentally aware reputation to write a submission urging Council to adopt, without any

I am flabbergasted by the latest abrasive attitude coming from four of our councillors towards koalas, and local people who have worked very consistently to protect koalas. How dare these councillors try to step over the Koala Plan of Management (KPoM), which is actually supported/approved by the Council staff. Please, everyone, have one look at an aerial photo of this region and notice what small pieces of land are devoted to koala protection areas, how few corridors exist, and how many more need to exist. Crs Woods, Cubis, Hunter, and Wanchap need to wake up before we lose more koalas. I am grateful there are three councillors – Dey, Spooner and Cameron – who know how to respect and listen to grassroots carers for our dwindling population of koalas and voted a go-ahead for this plan of management Karen McLean Mullumbimby

North Coast news daily:

Rock wall obsession unsupported Cr Ibrahim’s ‘obsession’ with building a rock wall at Belongil shows through in his justification for the way in which the project was approved. His suggestion that the environmental credentials of the project had been adequately scrutinised is not supported, mostly by his own arguments. There was no Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) because the Review of Environmental Factors (REF) commissioned by Council said that one was not required. Critically, the REF limited the possible impacts to the footprint of the wall only. As such many of the impacts beyond the site of the wall were ruled off limits

before any assessment. Clearly the process that Cr Ibrahim advocated for is severely limited and less than adequate. While demanding that his critics produce ‘contrary scientific evidence’, he offers none at all for his spurious claim that ‘rocks result in less erosion’. This appears to be his rationale for replacing ‘interim’ sandbags with a supposedly ‘interim’ rock wall. The idea being that the disturbance of the sandbags during storms is evidence that sandbags cause more erosion. Keeping in mind that the sandbags are located between existing rock walls, one has to account for the impact of what is known as end effect.

This is where the wave energy that hits a rock wall is concentrated and transferred to the end of the hard surface, leading to the possibility of greater erosion at the end of the wall. In this case end-effect energy from rock walls is having an impact on the sandbags, yet Cr Ibrahim maintains it is the sandbags that are the problem. Again the limitation of the REF is demonstrated. End effects are well known and understood and here we have an example of an existing rock wall transferring destructive wave energy beyond its physical footprint and a new rock wall to be built adjacent that will not examine impacts beyond its footprint. Saying this

is because the new wall will simply fill in between existing rock walls is murky thinking. Logically the energy that is travelling along the existing walls and now being disseminated by the sandbags will in future have to continue travelling along a much longer wall. This raises the possibility that the energy may concentrate and cause erosion further north along the spit, closer to the sensitive rare-bird breeding sites and mouth of the creek. Of course these impacts are well away from the footprint of the proposed wall and therefore are not being assessed as part of the project. Cr Basil Cameron Goonengerry

final decision could be appealed. However funds are needed for such an appeal so we may never know. Council is able to utilise ratepayers’ funds for legal matters but the ratepayer has to dip into his/her pocket again to fund legal action. As most people can’t afford legal action perhaps the answer is to set up a private trust fund which the whole community contributes to and benefits from. In this way the community, like Council, can have their own specialist legal advisers. Why should I concern myself? Well, all of the councillors will be out of office in a year or two and none of us will be living ‘anywhere’ in a hundred years, so why not think of the next generation or two?

We have reaped the benefits of those who have gone before us. For example, many our school-of-arts halls and much of our community land has survived for over a hundred years because our forebears never regarded them as commodities. Now Council’s got them on the list and we will never get them back. Hilary Bone Federal

Bashing Israel Re Gareth Smith’s latest piece of drivel (Letters, September 2). It seems people like Gareth Smith love to simply bash Israel at every opportunity. His constant bleating about the evils that the Israelis do is tantamount to an obsession. Even when Israel helps Arabs who have vowed to destroy it, he cries foul. Israel even helps these people calling themselves Palestinians in its hospitals. One story has an Arab woman whose child was saved from disease by Israeli doctors in an Israeli hospital only to then claim she planned to suicide-bomb the very same hospital one day! Israel provides the people of Gaza with truckloads of free food and medicines, but Hamas keeps lobbing rockets at their citizens. Israel keeps supplying

Gaza with building materials and what happens? Hamas uses it all to build tunnels into Israel to attack Jewish kids at their schools and kindergartens. M Mizzi Byron Bay

Fluoride in salt For over twenty years most of Europe has added fluoride to salt to prevent tooth decay, with the same dental health results as from fluoridated water in other countries. In Australia iodised salt has eliminated the scourge of goitre, showing how effective treated salt is. Since the salt-dosing equipment and distribution is already in place, adding fluoride to the iodide stream and printing new labels would be vastly cheaper than adding truckloads of toxic waste scrubbed from flue gasses of fertiliser industries. The fluoride in salt would be pharmaceutical grade, and kilos, not tonnes. It would still be money saved if we took a loss on the water-dosing plants already built, saving about $100,000 per year. Why has fluoridated salt never been considered? Perhaps because there’s no payoff, except for dental health. Charles Sawyer Byron Bay

Bombing Syria Again the headlines shout of our bombing the Middle East, and the refugees we imprison in concentration camp conditions. Again I feel sickened and ashamed. May people of all religions pray: ‘God forgive them, for our leaders know not what they do.’ Let’s get honest about wars. It is only industrialised first-world nations, like ours, that can provide the arms and the funds to fuel these conflicts from hell that create the misery. To help bring inspiration to Earth, please continue: ‘We ask that the worship and misuse of money in our economic systems be ended. Show us new ways of conducting our nations with compassion, and plenty for all, and how to choose leaders rightfully beholden only to us, your sovereign people.’ Hayo van der Woude Mullumbimby

Byron train update Byron Bay Railroad Company Ltd (BBRC), a not-for-profit enterprise owned by the people behind Elements of Byron Resort, is reinstating a train between Sunrise Beach and Byron township to be up and running in early 2016 (subject to final approvals). All costs of repairing and maintaining the track, refurbishing and operating the train are being borne by BBRC. • A reliable hourly service will be run initially to ascertain demand. The train will not operate prior to 7.30am or after 10.30pm. • $3 for a one-way journey. Surfboards, bicycles and luggage carried free. • The train uses standard diesel available from any service station. Fuel will be delivered straight into the train’s tanks; it will not be stored onsite. • Cummins diesel engines are renowned as clean-burning engines. The existing engine was fitted new in the mid-70s and during its 30-year operational life has been upgraded numerous times. • Fuel consumption per 3km passenger journey (average): Train carrying 100 passengers 0.015 litres Train carrying 50 passengers 0.030 litres Bus carrying 50 passengers 0.036 litres Car carrying 2 people 0.181 litres Car carrying 1 person 0.362 litres • We intend to convert to solar-powered electric operation. Our rail engineers have been liaising with solar technology companies capable of this conversion. Getting the train operating, however, is our first priority. • There is ample room within the rail corridor for a rail trail and cycle path clear of the operating rail line. BBRC has a non-exclusive licence to use the rail corridor and operate a train.

While Europe reels under the massive influx of refugees, the Abbott government is considering dropping bombs on Syria and joining the US in war games in the China Sea. Billions for military madness but concentration camps for those fleeing the terror. Australia’s Guantanamos, continued on page 12 Q

• BBRC is not required to fence any of the rail corridor. Elements of Byron is required, however, as a condition of Council consent for the accommodation cabins to fence the resort side (northern) boundary of the rail corridor from Belongil Creek to Bayshore Drive. There will be no additional fencing on the southern side of the corridor and no fencing past Belongil Creek, ie in town. The fence will be 1.8m high open style with a 30cm opening at the bottom for wildlife. • The engine is quieter than a truck or bus. In the rail industry the 600 series is known as one of the quietest trains. Other factors that contribute to low noise levels include an almost dead-level track and low speeds. The train will start with 2/3 throttle to gain momentum then be in 1/3 throttle or idle for the rest of the journey. The rails are welded into 110m lengths, minimising track noise (clicketyclack). While there are two engines, only one will be used at a time. • Two platforms will be constructed, one adjacent to Bayshore Drive and one before the Shirley Street level crossing between Simmo’s and the First Sun Caravan Park. The train will not cross Shirley Street. Both platforms will have disabled access, seating and shelter. The Bayshore Drive platform will have an accessible toilet. They will have solar-powered LED lighting, aimed directly down and shielded from the sides to prevent nuisance to nearby residences. • In addition to parking for Elements of Byron guests and visitors there are a further 100 car spaces being constructed on Bayshore Drive. • We are required to re-install STOP signs at the Kendall St level crossing, which the train will pass over in seven seconds. • Our train, including the train brake blocks, does not contain any asbestos. • The train will take some cars off Ewingsdale Road. To further reduce trafﬁc congestion entering Byron township we support Council in establishing a dedicated park-and-ride facility. BBRC will work with Council to service such a facility.

North Coast news daily:

It’s a holy war against evil, get it? Story & image S Sorrensen

Okay. I get it. We’re at war. It’s a war against pure evil. It’s a holy war. God is on our side in a battle for the planet. (Sure, we share the same god as the enemy, but they’re evil, pure evil, and we’re good. That’s the difference.) It’s all a bit confusing for people who are out of the loop and have to drive their own helicopters and pay for their own holidays, so I will clear it up for you: We hate Isis. Isis is the Egyptian goddess of fertility and we hate her. In fact, we hate all women. (Especially Julia Gillard and Gillian Triggs.) Isis also a bunch of savage looney-tunes with a blood lust and a Toyota fetish. Saudi Arabia used to support Isis (boo! hiss!) but the Americans really like Saudi Arabians so we like them too. (Hooray!) Even though 15 of the 19 hijackers in the September 11 attacks on America were Saudi citizens, the Americans worked out it was the Iraqis who were to blame. We worked that out that too. Just after the Americans did. Anyway, with a wink and

Thank you to our wonderful community With the support of the community, the Cancer Council NSW gala charity event last Saturday was an incredible success. The Byron Theatre was abuzz with glitz and glamour for the ﬁrst ever Stars of Byron Shire Dance For Cancer event. Overall the event raised $25,000 with all money raised going towards cancer research, services and prevention programs in the local area. Thank you to all our sponsors who contributed towards making the Stars of Byron Dance For Cancer event the successful fundraiser that it is.

nudge from the US, the Saudis don’t like Isis any more and are bombing them in Iraq. Liking Saudis is easier now. We used to hate the Iraqis because they claimed the oil under their deserts was theirs. Oh, and they bombed America. So we bombed them back. Twice. Being ungrateful heathens, the bombed took umbrage and fought against the vicious puppet government we installed for them, replacing their evil secular one. Thus Isis was born in the very cradle of civilisation, at the now rusted gates of Eden, in the whispering shadows of Babylon. Australia will bomb anything as long as it’s far away and the Americans tell us to. If they don’t tell us to, we ask them to tell us to, so we can say yes and fight against pure evil and save the world against, um, pure evil and the

Labor government. Now, we want to bomb Syria. Syria is far away. And war is what real men with popularity issues do. We hate the Assad government in Syria. We support the rebel groups who fight against the awful Syrian government. But it’s not Assad we want to bomb in Syria. We want to bomb Isis, which is a rebel group fighting against Assad. Hmm. Tricky. Assad is evil, sure, but not pure evil like Isis is. The Iranians support Assad’s fight against the rebels (including Isis) in Syria. They also support Iraq in the fight against Isis. But we don’t like the Iranians. We have imposed sanctions against them because we know they want to build nuclear bombs. They say they are not building nuclear bombs and are signatories to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation

continued from page 11 Manus and Nauru, must be shut down and their survivors brought on shore. The RAAF should airlift Syrian refugees and bring them back to Australia. Thousands of us are ready to welcome all refugees into our homes. This is happening in Germany, so why not here? Australia has enthusiastically participated in US wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and has no doubt used the SAS covertly in Syria and Libya. We are complicit in just about any US military mayhem through hosting its war intelligence centres like Pine Gap and are jointly responsible, as members of the Coalition of the Willing, for destroying infrastructure across the Middle East, the growth of terrorism and the displacement of millions. Stop the boats, fly the planes! Gareth W R Smith Palestine Liberation Centre, Byron Bay

by the amoral entity of the corporation, it may be useful to point out where that amorality potentially takes humans. Amorality leads to wars without end. The Guardian Weekly (14/8/15) says that, according to Associated Press, the US intelligence community has itself decided that Isis is just as powerful as it was in August, 2014, when air strikes first began. Writing for the Guardian, Trevor Timm says, ‘Like it does for every stagnant and endless war, this inconvenient fact will likely only lead others to call for more killing, rather than provoke introspection on why continuing to bomb the same region for decades does not actually work.’ Australia was invited to fight in Iraq. In considering a US request, not a Syrian one, to join the fight against Islamic State in Syria, the Australian prime minister said, according to the SMH (24/8/15), ‘The terrorists don’t respect the border, so why should we?’

Q At this time of the virtual usurpation of parliaments

Treaty. Yeah, right. We’d prefer to sell our uranium to the Indians, who, okay, haven’t signed the treaty, and who, sure, have nuclear weapons. But we like the Indians because they speak English and often call us at dinner time. Lately, relations with Iran are improving. Hopefully, soon, we can bomb stuff together. And sell them uranium. So, there you go. Australian foreign policy in the Middle East. It’s a winner. No matter whom we bomb, there’ll be refugees and gullible Aussies the Australian government can frighten. To do so, we need a paramilitary force – let’s call them the Australian Border Collies – which will make us vote Tony and feel safe from refugees who, after all, are really terrorists in Kmart clothing, seeking to kill us just because we bombed them. Hooray for the Collies – patriotic men with guns who really love Tony. But are not gay. Or organised. Or quite sure what they’re supposed to do. Got it? Q Read S each week at

This is Australian ‘leadership’ acceding to terrorist morality. It is the same as saying, ‘We approve of the terrorist disrespect of borders because we are going to do the same.’ The takeover by the amoral corporation is dependent on a juvenilised human morality. That is, when human moralities are no more evolved than that of children, humans can expect short-term reaction to events rather than consideration of the long term. Geoff Dawe Uki

THE ART OF STORYTELLING Through the creation and presentation of artwork, artists invite you to see the world through their eyes. In the latest exhibition at Northern Rivers Community Gallery (NRCG), the exhibiting artists wish to share stories on aspects of their life or world around them that are important to them. The Bundjalung Series by Anthony Short tells us about the artistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

SMH Good Food winners We are fortunate in this area: Brunswick Heads, which remains in many respects pleasantly low-key, is also the home of Fleet, just named SMH Regional Restaurant of

the Year. One-hat restaurants in the area are Fins (Kingscliff – has maintained its hat since 1996!), Fleet and Town (Bangalow).

Get the freshest produce weekly. Direct from the farmers market.

Naked Byron wins Naked Byron Dips might sound the branding for a new softcore tourism campaign, but the local dip manufacturer, who has just won gold and silver medals at the Royal Melbourne Fine Food awards, says the name reflects the fact that the dips are made using local product, when available, and without any nasty additives. ‘We get asked all sorts of funny things’, said owner Anthony Goddard, ‘such as “Does that mean the chefs aren’t wearing any clothes when they are making the pesto?”’ The Naked chefs must be

adding something special to the Rocket and Macadamia Pesto, which was awarded a gold medal. The Basil Pesto and the Roast Pumpkin dips both received a silver gong, making three medals from three entries. Anthony believes the local company will continue to expand. ‘We are expanding, and are moving into state-ofthe-art premises at the Byron Food Hub in Mullumbimby in October’, he says, ‘I see the opportunity to have the Naked Byron experience wherever you are in Australia’.

If you missed the chance to get a sample from the 200 local stallholders at last weekend’s Sample Food Festival, you’ll have another chance next year around the same time – the event is five years old and keeps getting better.

GDP growth slows as home building peaks The latest figures from the ABS show that investment in new home building reached a record high in the 2014/15 fiscal year, but activity eased in the June 2015 quarter which had a negative impact on Gross Domestic Product growth, noted the Housing Industry Association, the voice of Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residential building industry. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The residential building sector performed strongly throughout the 2014/15 fiscal year. In annual terms there was $52.2 billion of investment in new home building during the year which was a new record for the sector,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said HIA Economist, Geordan Murray. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;From a quarterly perspective the result wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite as strong. After reaching a record in the March 2015 quarter, the level of investment in new home building declined by 1.9 per cent in the June 2015 quarter but remains around 10.4 per cent higher than the June quarter a year ago. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The level of investment in home renovations continued to improve in the June quarter. Following on from a particularly poor run through-

out 2013 and 2014, renovations investment has posted a third consecutive quarter of growth, up by 0.4 per cent in the quarter, and recorded the strongest level of activity since mid-2012. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The strong growth in new home building over the last few years has made a significant contribution to GDP growth. However, residential building activity is currently tracking at record levels and leading indicators are suggesting that the sector is close to a peak in the current building cycle. Despite the strong level of activity, the modest decline in the level of residential building detracted from GDP growth in the quarter.Â â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;There is a large volume of activity in the pipeline that should sustain an elevated level of home building for some time yet; however, it is unlikely that residential building will continue to make the strong contributions to GDP growth that it has done over the last couple of years. In order to see a sustained economic recovery we must see broader improvements in private investment beyond residential building.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Â

G A V I N W E B B E R O F T H E FA R M S P O K E W I T H S E V E N .

Could you tell me about the concept of Cockfight? Cockfight is an exploded fiction that appears to be about two office workers engaged in a generational power struggle but is in fact about a real relationship between its two performers. Josh and I have been working together for more than a decade and over the years our relationship has changed. Dancers have an early death where they can no longer keep competing with the next generation and I think Josh smells the blood in the water. He’s circling me. How has the creation process been actually making it happen? Is it possible to realise an idea in the flesh or does it change and take on a life of its own? We have a process where we try to let the work speak to us, as though it is something already existing that we are trying to release, I guess like the sculptor who thinks he is releasing the sculpture from the marble. It emerges from our process and undoubtably it’s not what we expect but then again I don’t think you ever know what to expect before you start. We work collaboratively, and early on there are always different ideas of what the work could be but as it shows itself it becomes pretty clear. You don’t even have to listen that hard; it starts calling to you eventually. With Cockfight we began with a lot of improvisations and even from the first hour we had a pretty good idea that this one was going to be a screamer. How do you two work together and create some sort of artistic synergy? Josh and I have worked together for such a long time that we can very easily follow our noses. We both like to get up and try things which is sometimes annoying for Kate and Julian because we usually decide to do that before we’ve all finished talking.

There is a great trust between us and I think we have good antennae for each other. We recently spent 48 hours on a sandbar in Currumbin Creek for Bleach festival on the Gold Coast, so that helped dissolve any remaining barriers. The office is a very ordinary setting – what does it show about masculinity and the world at large? Extraordinary things emerge out of banality. The concrete world is a beautiful place to produce something that is poetic and the office setting for us is a springboard to deeper ideas. Dance is an abstract language and we don’t always want to pile abstraction upon abstraction. We like to set up a premise that seems simple but spreads outwards once movement enters the frame. It’s almost like the dance in Cockfight is an expression of the inner worlds of these men and as we all know our inner worlds are never straightforward. We don’t have just one emotion at a time. We are complex characters. The office is also just a great place to put a game of life or death. What were the main challenges in creating this piece? Getting us all together at the same time. We have so many other commitments that organising our schedules can be a nightmare. Dance is a young man’s game. What happens when someone up the food chain gets weak and is ready to be taken down? Cockfight, that’s what happens! As they say, you’re only as good as your last game so watching someone trying to keep playing as their ability lessens is powerful and tragic stuff.

Now I don’t mean to suggest that I am a trainwreck onstage – or maybe I am; did Josh talk to you guys? As a teenager I always wanted to beat my father at tennis. Finally I did and I remember how sad it was when it happened because in that moment I understood that a line had been crossed. And perhaps also, in some dark unconscious place I realised that my own physical decline was also implicit in the outcome. What are the bigger themes that you have explored? We started with an idea of Icarus and Daedalus building their wax wings and then Icarus getting too cocky and, well, you know how that turned out. There’s another part of that story where after all the waxing action Daedalus, who is obviously a bit of a hero in the first story, retires to an island in the Mediterranean. Daedalus is an inventor and as it turns out he has a young nephew who becomes a better inventor than he is so he pushes him off a cliff. Not so heroic. We were attracted to the idea of the older man trying to stop the younger becoming better than him at any cost. How have you realised the humour in the piece? We’re just really funny people. Or at least I am. Josh is less funny. What should local audiences expect? Cockfight is very accessible owing to the banal setting and humour, yet at the same time it explores complex relationships and has a disarming tenderness at its core. It is ultimately very moving. 17–19 September, 7.30pm. NORPA at Lismore City Hall For bookings call 1300 066 772 or visit www.norpa.org.au.

and both got into one of the leading circus universities in the world â&#x20AC;&#x201C; DOCH (Dance and Circus University in Stockholm Sweden). It was amazing. My teacher was a 65-year-old Russian man who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t speak any English. It was a three-year course but we dropped out two-and-a-half months before we finished because we got offered this show with Gravity and Other Myths. We have been touring that now for almost two years internationally. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an award-winning show â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but when we finish, we are going back to Stockholm in January to get our Bachelor of Arts degree in circus.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I am a hand balancer. I do one-handed handstands on pointy sticks. I am also a flyer. Our main thing we do is group acrobatics. Dan is also a flyer; even though he is a big boy, he is a phenomenal acrobat. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an hour-long show. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s centred around games. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our pushing ourselves to the limits. We are very neutral and raw onstage, trying to be ourselves; none of us in glitter. It is far from cabaret; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about showing what the human body can do even if we fail. The show is all up close. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only a 6m by 4m stage; no matter how big the stadium, people come within half a metre of us. You can hear us panting, hear the strain of what we are doing.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

The boys are sweating. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like ultimate bonding; we are all so close. There are nine of us in the company, and eight acrobats and one live musician, and we are all really good mates. When you work that closely together it really bonds you.

Performing circus is relentless. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not an industry where you can afford to let yourself go! â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relentless. Your body gets used to it and your stamina gets built up, but you are always exhausted at the end of the show.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The beauty of our show,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; says Rhiannon, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;is that it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always turn out the same every time. These are games so, like in games, they often end up different!â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;As for the games: they are elaborations of what we did as kids. Although I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember skipping was quite as risquĂŠâ&#x20AC;Ś We do strip-skipping and we do a game that is like falling. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty much like when we were kids and trust games taken to the next level â&#x20AC;&#x201C; like not falling from the ground but from three people high and you have to catch me. We have been compared to Cirque du Soliel with a fist full of gritâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

ENTERTAINMENT CONTINUED FROM P24 Rhiannon is excited about returning to Mullum to participate in our local circus festival. ‘Teaching is an amazing passion. It’s incredible being able to pass on your knowledge to people who are passionate.’ And what does the future hold? Well, a wedding, that’s for sure. Rhiannon and Dan will be returning for their Byron wedding next year. While they haven’t planned anything specific yet, bride and

groom will no doubt do something spectacular. ‘I am one of those girls who always has shorts under my dress!’ laughs Rhiannon, who may well be performing the world’s first one-handed bridestand. Catch Rhiannon in her performance with Gravity and Other Myths on the Sunday morning of 27 September.

Having just opened for applications, the mentorship boasts four mentors over four categories, with Anne McCue as the Vocal mentor, Loren Kate for Singer/songwriter, Bethanie Jolly for Under 15 and Mikey B for the Band category. When it comes to being a mentor, Mikey believes, ‘The most important thing for any musician is to know that no-one else is going to do anything for you. If you have anything you are inspired by you have to go with it; you will never be happy with whatever other people do for you.’

Hearing feedback for any artist can be challenging, and when you are starting out it can be hard to hear. Mikey believes that often when you get feedback people are generally confirming what you already know. ‘I think when it resonates, it’s like when you read the stars in the paper – you know what you want to hear already; feedback helps you define it.

Mikey doesn’t think he needs to invent characters necessarily to colour his songwriting. ‘There are plenty of stories in my own life; I used to invent stories but the more I invent outside the more I realise that I have enough!’ So what should we expect from Mikey B at Mullum Music Festival?

‘I guess for people who haven’t seen me in the area for a while, a return to form, me on stage bearing it all, but with samples and a bit of cabaret and tap The one thing you can’t do with dancing.

TAURUS: Your personal planet Venus moving forward in the sign of look-at-me is pushing for makeovers; relationships, agreements, finances, home and health could all benefit from this week’s insistence on a beauty treatment. If you’re facing weighty, unwelcome change, navigate the necessary transitions with Tauran grace and style.

GEMINI: Your ruler Mercury in Libra suggests a pretty chatty week, with unspoken feelings getting an airing – which could finally make a space for moving relationship glitches onto a friendlier footing. This week’s mantra? Do Not Assume Anything. Or be over-critical: most of us are struggling with something.

ARIES: Venus and Mars are shopping for a new look. This

s r a t S with Lillith With Venus exiting retrograde to tango with Mars in the sign of drama and extravagant passion, sparks ﬂy, creative energy burns, everything turns into an Event…

confidence-boosting coupling, super-fuelled by Uranus in Aries, could see you sorting Ramsville this week in signature style: tweaking your image and media profile, refining objectives and operating modes. Not to mention some vivid adventures on the love road…

CANCER: If this week brings feelings of pressure, resist making decisions from a place of anxiety or reaction. Filter incoming info, don’t catastrophise. Manage change by changing your focus to what you want rather than what you fear. Unsettling news can be a blessing in disguise when viewed through different eyes.

SAGITTARIUS: If jigsaw pieces start finally falling into place when Venus moves forward this week, take advantage of this astral window of opportunity to make your move before next week’s Mercury retrograde, especially if the circumstances concern your living situation. Transparency about your intentions will avoid troublesome misunderstandings with others.

CAPRICORN: You’ll have to use more than Capricornian know-how to navigate this week, especially if you’re making sales, moving or travel plans. It won’t respond to logic, so try intuition. With the present focus on longterm future plans, shared finances can create an array of unforeseen problems. Be sensitive.

LEO: Another three weeks of lively Mars and lovely Venus cavorting together in Leo – how much fun is that? You’ll be totally on top of your game during mid-to late-week Leo moon’s fruitful, free-wheeling leap into a bubbling stew of new opportunities. Keep your wits about you though…

VIRGO: Sun and Jupiter in your sign help assess situations accurately and objectively, with a view to assisting those you care about. Yes, there’ll be challenges, but victories as well. This week’s advice is best illustrated by the Serbian proverb: Be humble you are made of earth. Be noble you are made of stars. LIBRA: Silver-tongued Mercury in your sign finds you at your most charmingly congenial right now: chatty, witty, eloquent and expressive. Libra’s ruler Venus is back on track reconnecting you with people from your past, unravelling old personal knots so they release and resolve. During which, don’t let finicky irritations escalate.

SCORPIO: Mercury in your house of reflection, introspection and karma keeps your subconscious busy this week, which may bring a replay of something you thought you’d left behind for a final resolution. Fixed ideas are the greatest barriers to growth; many people have found being willing to forgive is a happier way to live.

AQUARIUS: Chain-breaking Uranus, the planetary liberator, offers some dramatic insights and eureka experiences this week, which may be pivotal to resolving an ongoing friction – via either a fresh start or fond farewell. Steering between the opposing goalposts of optimism and pessimism on the median strip of realism is tricky, but definitely necessary.

PISCES: What you think you know may be completely incorrect. Whether it is or isn’t, Saturn removes the rosecoloured specs this week for an eyes-wide-open look at the reasons for other folks’ strange behaviour and nervy quirks. Back in the finance sector, spending’s best kept to where it benefits your daily routine.

CULTURE The forest is growing into the new millennium with the highest possible production values and the latest dancefloorfriendly tunes for the discerning electronic dance-music freak. They select some of the region’s best known and talented DJs, who know how to keep a dance floor pumping, and add to the mix powerful visionary artforms in multiple media to create a unique experience.

OLDER, BOLDER AND GOING FOR GOLDER! AT 6 5 , C L E L I A A DA M S I S AT T H E TO P O F HER GAME.

Clelia has been involved in the Australian country music scene since 1975, and in a testament to both her career longevity and the embracing nature of the country music industry, Ms Adams continues to kick goals, having most recently achieved a finalist berth in the Southern Stars Australian Independent Country Music Awards for Independent Female Vocalist of the Year.

There is something about country that says you have real heart and that you care; once you have fans they are loyal for the rest of your life.

Dan McDonnell’s paintings reference digital culture through abstract layers of colour and form, taking inspiration from the visual interfaces provided by today’s laptops, smartphones and tablets. McDonnell paints with his bare hands onto plexiglass, emphasising the peculiar quality of touchscreen technology in which our interactions are at once direct and mediated. Through the language of abstract painting his work registers the effects of digital technology on visual culture at large, confronting what it means to paint in an era dominated by the screen.

The amalgamation of McDonnell’s techniques are entrenched in the language of abstract art, while still exerting their relationship to contemporary digital culture. Opening 6pm this Friday.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FROM PAUL SMITH Paul Smith began making birthday cards in 1998 and switched to screen greetings in 2005. Of his work he says: ‘People frequently commented on my captions and even suggested that many of them would make good posters. I reformatted a selection of them as a widescreen slide show and selected a smaller sample to print as cards and posters. I also made ten sheets of gift wrap, four of which have been used to wrap twenty “birthday presents’” for this exhibition.

‘I was 50 when I recorded my first album. I realised I couldn’t have a career in jazz and blues because there was nowhere to go. ‘I made the decision to move to Mullumbimby in 2000.’ Mullumbimby was the game changer for Clelia.

‘I found it inspiring here; not only were the people my kind of people, they were alternative. I was always different from a lot of people in Tamworth.

LITTLE BOY

What an odd movie this is – in the way that art’s truest oddities are those that are genuinely out of step with the mainstream. This may have something to do with its director, Alejandro Monteverde, being a Mexican who has not yet had the infection of cynicism corrode his naïve faith in magic realism. He is also, if this is anything to go by, an unashamed Christian who cleverly embodies the tenets of his beliefs in an old Japanese man, Hashimoto (Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa), as Norman Rockwell’s small-town America exposes its ugly side. The story is as corny as any that you’ll see this year – the ending, in fact, was a little too much for me – but that is part of its gold-lit charm, for, in a WEDNESDAY

way, it dares you to go beyond chic disparagement. Pepper (Jakob Salvati) is an undersized kid living in cheery, candy-coloured Ohare on the California coast at the outbreak of WWII. Bullied and mocked by his peers, he copes by reverting to a fantasy realm that has been encouraged in him by his father (Michael Rapaport) and a sideshow magician. When Dad is taken as a prisoner of war by the Japs, Pepper is devastated and looks for solace to Hashimoto, who is himself suffering from the locals’ anti-Asian hostility. A master–grasshopper relationship develops between the two, but neither Hashimoto nor the pragmatic priest (Tom Wilkinson) can fully soothe Pepper’s aching heart. Salvation is at hand, however, when the epithet of ‘little boy’, with which he has been so teasingly tagged, comes into play – it’s a classic double entendre that hurts as much as it heals. This is a difficult film to categorise because it refuses to be browbeaten into the sceptical niche that will not allow us to accept anything to do with a supernatural power. The efficacy of imagination has waned in our digital age, but Pepper’s belief moves a mountain and the louder we scoff the more heavily we underline the foolishness of our own certainties.

A WALK IN THE WOODS Bill Bryson’s observations of landscape and people, language and history have accrued a huge readership over the years, so there was a ready-made audience in waiting for Ken Kwapis’s screen adaptation of his trek along the Appalachian Trail. Instead of it being a one-man show, Bryson (played by a creaking, wrinkly Robert Redford) is joined by Stephen (Nick Nolte), a reprobate buddy from the old days, in a pairing that is clearly intended to create a comic Felix and Oscar in flannies vibe. As a fan of the writer, I was let down by the flatness and predictably structured result. It’s the sort of movie in which, because you want to love it, you

find yourself willing something profound or hilarious to happen but, good natured and honest though it is, you never quite feel satisfied by what is offered up. That is not to say that the company of Bryson and Stephen is not agreeable, or that those they meet on the way don’t lift proceedings – Mary Steenburgen as the flirtatious motel proprietress and Kristen Schaal’s annoying fellow hiker provide a couple of the more lively moments in the episodic screenplay. Nolte too, if at first hard to understand, is a welcome counter to Redford’s blandness and, so disheveled and out of shape is he that you can’t help but feel for the bloke as he stumbles through arcadia.

MISS AMBER AND STUKULELE AT BANGALOW HERITAGE HOUSE ON SUNDAY FOR DANGEROUSLY POETIC

CYBEROTIKA IN PARADISE

Paradise One Retreat will be playing host to a unique event in the next few weeks. Titled Cyberotika and running from 12 noon Saturday 26 to 12 noon Sunday 27 September, the event includes an informal vegan buffet dinner and some

As a paean to the wonders of the natural world it never takes flight, with only fleeting moments of scenic awe, and there is never any real sense that the men (unlike Reese Witherspoon in Wild) have covered much ground. Bryson’s whimsical, self-deprecating humour is captured only occasionally (as when Redford is forced to trudge under a freeway to get to a K-mart), while the expected belly laughs, notably at the long-foretold encounter with the grizzly bears, fizzle rather that fire. On another level, the film succeeds as a buddy-flick, with the reaffirmation of a lasting friendship being a poignant reminder for us all of what matters most in life.

sensational stage performances and music acts. While the onsite cabins have been booked by interstate ticket holders, there are campsites available. This will be the first kink-themed event since Lascivious at the Cotton Club back in December 2002. With more than 20 performances including edgy, piercing shows, fire, erotic, roving and interactive plus more than 20 music acts across two stages including a very special guest all the way from Berlin, Kangding Ray, who is a highly respected ‘artist’ in the true sense of the word. Kangding Ray creates his music and designs his sounds from field recordings and live instruments. Presented by Just ’Cause – who have not held an event since 1/1/2004. Specialising in mixedgender events for more than 20 years, with a following from both LGBTQI and hetero crowds who leave their hangups at the door! Expect a sensational event!

Football alive and well in Mullum

This year Mullumbimby Under-11 boys had 26 players sign on. They were divided into two teams and trained together on Wednesday evenings under the expertise and guidance of Shane Cheek and Steve Edmonds. Both teams went through the season undefeated until the ultimate local derby, which took place last Saturday at Pine Ave. The game was a thriller with the Scorpions narrowly going done to the Wolves 5–3. To the boys’ credit the game was played with admirable skill, spirit and sportsmanship. A special thanks to the coaches for their dedication to the boys throughout the season.

To sip from the red cup… Brian Mollet

With so much of the modern sporting world either given over to a cynical grab for corporate bucks or hijacked politically for jingoistic fervour-channelling, it’s good to know that the winners of the Shand series – although they will gain nothing but a sip of red from the trophy and the priceless right to boast about their prowess for the coming year – will probably be happier and better adjusted than many a pro-sports brat. Lomath Oval was as neatly shaved as a dancer’s bikini line for the second semifinal between the salty suntanned surf dudes the Suffolk Swingers and the denizens of the upper strata and product of advanced networking the Byron Full-Tossers. Ash of the Tossers won the toss and, noting the dazed state of some of his team after a brutal night at the 50th of a notable socialite and Barack Obama predicting a weather event for the afternoon, invited Levi and the Swingers to field. The Suffolk

lads generally start well as at least half of them have jogged down for a quick wave before the game, and this was again to prove the case as Levi (2– 23) and Jacob had both openers in the shed early. Jamie

(40 n/o) was as consistent as a tax demand; he and Mike put on 60 to steady the innings… … To read more of this exciting Shand cricket adventure, visit the sport pages of www.echo.net.au.

Backlash THE BYRON SHIRE

Those of you who were too afraid – or too uninterested – to go to a Byron council meeting can now attend from afar by downloading the audio files at www.byron. nsw.gov.au/council-meetingaudio-2015. Mercifully the meeting files are divided by topic, so you don’t have to trawl through the whole extravaganza.

There is probably a DJ out there who could mash up sound bites with a popular song from the fifties, say Buddy Holly’s Peggy Sue. That should fit in well with the realpolitik. Q Q Q Q

Councillors’ tardiness in dealing with their koala plan of management has hardly impressed environmentalists and animal lovers, and you can hear Cr Duncan Dey’s heartfelt plea for the koalas on the abovementioned audio files. The state government obviously doesn’t give a stuff as it continues to push the Pacific Highway south of Ballina through a koala colony in order to protect some heritage-listed cane fields. (Incidentally, what happened to the promise of green harvesting of sugar cane, issued by the industry way back in the 1990s?) Q Q Q Q

According to folks at the northern NSW health district, there has been a significant decline in smoking rates across the state in recent years, yet despite this decrease, smoking remains a leading cause of death and disability in NSW. Smokingrelated health issues account for around 5,300 deaths

Climate change, pollution, deforestation – all might seem abstract concepts at times. Let’s narrow down our impact on Earth to trees for a moment. According to Chris Pash in the Business Insider, ‘Since the start of human civilisation the total number of trees on Earth has almost halved, according to the latest research. There are about 3.04 trillion trees in the world today, according to the research published in the journal Nature. That’s about 422 per person.’ Backlash
