Walker to run again for Richmond

Sculptures hit Bruns

Further to Greens leader Richard Di Natale’s appearance in Byron Shire last week comes the announcement that Dawn Walker (Greens) will contest the next federal election for the seat of Richmond. Dr Di Natale speculated at his event that an election is likely soon, owing to prime minister Turnbull not wanting to present a budget just yet, given the last two were poorly received. Richmond covers roughly Tweed and Byron Shires, and the last 2013 election saw Labor’s Justine Elliot claim 33.51 per cent of the vote, while Nationals candidate Matthew Fraser gained 37.6 per cent. But Mrs Elliot won the seat after preferences were counted; Greens’ candidate Dawn Walker picked up 17.69 of the vote, while Palmer United candidate Dr Phillip Allan claimed 7.46 per cent. Results sourced from www.results.aec.gov.au.

New Hospital waste to be Council’s responsibility Hans Lovejoy

Sewerage arrangements for Byron Central Hospital have been decided, with NSW Health Infrastructure set to plug into Byron’s sewage treatment plant (STP) instead of disposing of waste onsite. Eventually that treated waste will finish up in Belongil Creek and the ocean. The decision to negotiate hospital waste was delegated to staff at a meeting held October 9, 2014, with

staff asked to ‘set the design parameters required for the rising main to service the [hospital].’

Approval authority But the clarity behind who approved it is unclear, with staff saying that ‘the decision to connect to the sewer line was a Health Department decision.’ Yet a Health Infrastructure spokesperson told The Echo that, ‘Connecting the sewage pumping

station used by surrounding lots and the broader Ewingsdale community was discussed with, and approved by, Byron Shire Council. As there is ample capacity for this solution, there is no need for an onsite treatment plant.’ Nevertheless, Greens Cr Duncan Dey, who is also a civil engineer, has raised a few concerns, and believes that laying pipes from the hospital to the STP will enable a considerable expansion of Ewingsdale, with future developments be-

ing able to use the pipe. He told The Echo that, ‘Best practice would be to establish the sewerage arrangements before committing to the project.’ ‘Government responsibility should not end at the point where the effluent is chucked into the river. It is bad practice in principle, but the EPA licence implies it’s okay.’ ‘The hospital lot was subdivided off from lot 101 as exempt development, ie Council was not asked. Lot

101 is what could have provided land for an onsite sewerage system. It is now the “seniors living” proposal. ‘The state, in approving its own development, bypassed what I thought was a key requirement under the LEP, [which is] to make adequate arrangements for sewage. In their infinite but urban wisdom, they have assumed that any building just gets connected to sewer, like in Sydney, where the end product goes continued on page 2

continued from page 1 into the Pacific Ocean. ‘I suspect the flow path (the “receiving environment”) was not considered in the STP assessment. I do not agree that there is capacity for the hospital to connect – the receiving environment is already overloaded.’ Cr Dey asked Council staff in the upcoming October 8 agenda whether there was ‘consideration or survey of possible routes’. Director infrastructure services Phil Holloway did not elaborate other than, ‘a final route/design has been determined’ and that, ‘commitments have been signed off ’ over designs.

But Mr Holloway told The Echo this week, ‘Staff have been closely involved with the design parameters of the sewer main to connect and service the hospital, and are satisfied with the result. The new hospital will have four waste streams generally as per the existing hospital. ‘When online, the hospital development will use less than one per cent of the Byron Bay STP capacity. As per existing requirements, water will also be tested and monitored at the Belongil Creek,’ he said.

Medical waste

The Echo asked Health Infrastructure what provisions will be in place for treating

medical waste – hormones and antibiotics for example – before they hit the Byron STP. A spokesperson replied, ‘The hospital will institute strict measures for handling medical wastes. These include decontamination pump-out pits to chemotherapy and emergency; filtration separator for dental; and plaster traps to treatment rooms. ‘Disposal of clinical wastes will be handled in accordance with NSW Health guidelines, which require placement in non-reactive containers. ‘Such wastes are not to be discarded to the sewer or any process where they may find their way into the environment.’

A year of treating health issues Celebrating Mental Health Week is Myocum-based Nungkari Treatment Centre. And this week, the centre also celebrates its one year of operation, as well as recent DA approval to increase residential client numbers from five to 12 people. From Thursday 11am to 2pm, a special occasion will be held for those who have journeyed with Nungkari, with choice food, juices and music. Ms Beattie says it commences with a smoking ceremony by traditional Aboriginal man Jungala, and flying in for the occasion is hip-hop artist Philly, who won this year’s NIMA award for “New Talent of the Year”. The public are welcome to RSVP kylie@ nungkaritreatment.com.au. Managing director Kylie Beattie said, ‘With this increase in capacity, our unique program has become more affordable and accessible to those desperately needing help. It’s been an incredible year of discovery, recovery and healing for all involved.

The profound impact the program is having on people’s lives is evident in our clients’ success stories and with news of our DA we are truly grateful.’ But it hasn’t been altogether an easy road; during last week’s council’s meeting, one neighbour aired complaints, saying he didn’t ‘feel he has a lot of protection.’

Council meets in Bangalow Council will be holding their next meeting in Bangalow’s Moller Pavilion! Commencing at 4pm on Thursday October 8, some items to be thrashed out include assessing environmentally and socially responsible investments, whether to sup-

port the ex-hospital land in Mullumbimby, the implications and potential locations of a BMX track and time limits for paid parking and resident permit parking areas for Byron Bay. Bring popcorn and a bean bag! All welcome.

Secret men’s business intro evening Local mentoring and activity-based organisation, The Uncle Project,will be holding a free introduction evening at the Youth Activity Centre (YAC), 1 Gilmore Cres Byron Bay on October 14 from 6pm to 7.30pm. Ana Davis, on behalf of Uncle, says that since 1997 they have provided mentoring and activities for boys aged 6 – 12 who have little or no access to an active, family

male role model. ‘Research indicates a number of potential disadvantages to boys who grow up with an absent father. ‘These include an increased risk of juvenile delinquency, academic underachievement, behavioural issues, and even a higher incidence of suicide. ‘Steve Biddulph, well known psychologist and author of Raising Boys stresses

PERIWINKLE PRESENTS

that good male role-models can make all the difference in helping sculpt boys into good men themselves.

Single parent population 24 pc ‘With the single parent population of the Byron Shire sitting at around 24 per cent, the Uncle Project is an important support to these boys and their families.

Uncle Project co-ordinator, Chad Kolcze added that what makes the organisation such a successful, ongoing initiative is the ‘functionality of its premise’. Chad says, ‘It’s more than just the financial contributions we receive from the community. ‘Good men in our community show up as ‘uncles’ for these boys and create positive change though action.’

Political funding: have your say Jack Davison & Hans Lovejoy

Got something to say on the way political funding affects democracy? You’re in luck – public submissions are open until October 16 for an inquiry into the spending and public funding of political parties. The Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters, re-established on June 2 this year, is currently undertaking an inquiry into 50 recommendations outlined by a panel of experts in a report published in late 2014 entitled Political Donations.

And perhaps it’s no surprise those findings were fairly damning.

Funding law failures The executive summary outlined significant failures, stating that, ‘Those involved in the administration of the major parties appeared to take little responsibility for compliance with election funding laws.’ The report went on to claim that, ‘These failures can be attributed to two things: poor governance within the

major parties, and barriers to effective regulation by the NSW Electoral Commission.’ A submission to the committee by the Law Society of NSW says it has concerns with a recent amendment to the Election Funding, Expenditure and Disclosures ACT 1981.

Problematic: Law Society Author Ros Everett says the provision is ‘problematic from both a constitutional and human rights law perspective.’ Sean Nicholls reported in SMH in March this year

– before the NSW election – that the government had committed to overhauling the laws, and 49 of the 50 recommendations were accepted ‘in principle’. The recommendation not supported by premier Mike Baird was that ‘an independent body be responsible for approving any increases to public funding for political parties.’ ICAC probes into rorting resulted in ten Liberal MPs moving to the crossbench and two resigning from parliament before the 2011 election.

Parking officer assaulted, car rammed A man was charged in the Byron Bay local court Thursday with assaulting an authorised officer, resisting arrest, three counts of malicious damage and unlicensed driving, according to Council’s manager sustainable development, Wayne Bertram. Mr Bertram said that earlier in the week, a parking officer ‘had reminded a male person in Byron Bay’s Main Beach car park that a ticket was required to be purchased

while parking in the car park.’ ‘The officer returned later to find that the male person had not purchased a ticket. ‘He returned to his car and started to complete a ticket on his equipment.

Aggressive ‘Unfortunately, the male person observed this and became aggressive, grabbed the equipment and pushed the officer. ‘He also got into his car

and rammed it into another parked car. ‘The equipment was thrown on to the rocks and damaged. The police were called and arrested the person. ‘This is a rare incident for our parking officers [where] they are faced with this level of aggression,’ he said. ‘While most people aren’t happy about getting a parking ticket, the majority accept them knowing that they have done the wrong thing,

either intentionally or unintentionally. ‘It can be easy to be caught out for time when visiting Byron Bay’, however, Mr Bertram urged everyone to check the road signs for time limits and costs, before leaving the area. ‘Assaulting a parking officer who was simply doing their job is not the answer. ‘Our staff are regular people who don’t deserve this sort of treatment,’ Mr Bertram said.

It was at Elissar Queen of the Sea cafe on the Esplanade in Cairns in 1995 where I first met the colourfully dressed man with the funny hat. He had just split with his marital and business partner and rather than refinance and start all over again he had taken to the road in a newly acquired Toyota Landcruiser troop carrier. From a small space in a mostly vacant city arcade I was rebuilding my swimwear business under the Wicked Weasel label having crashed in the ‘recession we had to have’. On breaks from sewing I would often go to the Esplanade and meet with David, who was enjoying his new found freedom. We developed an instant camaraderie initially through our experiences of loss but our friendship continued to grow as we discovered shared views and interests We spent a good deal of time discussing politics and the issues relating to running a business in Australia. Despite his alternative appearance and lifestyle David was

essentially a conservative who was quite involved in the local branch of the Liberal Party in his Sydney days. We supported individual sovereignty over collectivism.

Always gave more than he took While David has always looked after the grounds at Wicked Weasel on a commercial basis, more notable was everything he did to help at no cost.

David always gave more than he took. His unwavering support beginning way back in Cairns was more important to me than he probably knew. And over the past twenty years I have seen him help many others for no other reason than they needed help and he was there. It will be for his generosity of spirit, kindness and goodwill that he will be remembered. Rest in peace my friend.

Walking trail guide Approaching life through art launching soon A book on the region’s walking trails is nearly completed, which will provide information on 50 walks in Byron, Tweed, Ballina and Nightcap National Park. Byron Trails is the creation of Mairéad Cleary, who says she decided to research and compile the guide after she found it difficult to find information about walks in the area. Ms Cleary says, ‘Being in nature reduces the stress hormones in your body and increases the happy hormones.’ ‘Walking in nature is extremely good for us mentally as well as physically, and we need it more than we realise.’

Lennox surfer wins Gromsearch

A new sculpture by local Donald Maughan now adorns Byron’s Railway Friendly Bar – or as Donald puts it, ‘possibly the best pub in the world’. Entitled A Way To Approach Life, Donald describes each limb: ‘The ballerina shoe is to say that one must try to dance in and at life, while the work shoe says one must also work at life.’ ‘The hands on the hip signifies that one must relax and have style in life, while hold-

ing the pen is to say one must exchange thoughts with others to know about life. ‘The inner child must be acknowledged, be present and be celebrated. ‘The head is intentionally androgynous because this approach to life could work for all sexes. As for the turban/ crown and the badge – well, we are regal and should be proud of who we are. ‘The brooch is an acknowledgement to my Celtic ancestry.’

Ticket/boom gate for Lawson Street north carpark deferred Congrats to 14-year-old Lennox surfer Mikey McDonagh, who took out the 16 and Under boys division at the Rip Curl Gromsearch event held at Jan Juc in Victoria on Sunday.

After much discussion on how a boom gate would operate within the context of paid parking, Councillors voted last Thursday to defer the decision ‘until the first review of the pay parking scheme or sooner if

required.’ Crs Dey, Woods and Wanchap voted against. Despite Cr Rose Wanchap’s original motion being aimed at starting the process, it was watered down during debate and then rejected.

Anti-fluoride campaign launched in Tweed The anti-fluoride movement has opened up a new front in the Tweed, with a new Facebook campaign to stop adding the chemical to the shire’s water supply. Tweed Shire Council has been fluoridating its water supply for 40 years, with state health authorities claiming it prevents tooth decay and cavities in children. The outlying villages of

Uki and Tyalgum have their own water supplies (tank or reservoir) which are not dosed with fluoride. While Byron Shire does not fluoridate, Lismore and Ballina have recently established fluoride dosing plants for their water supplies, managed by Rous Water. Tweed Heads campaigner Larni Gryphon told local media fluoride was a ‘poison’

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

and many people saw it as ‘forced medication’.

Diet to blame Opponents of fluoride dosing say sugary foods and soft drinks were the real culprits in tooth decay in children, and if people wanted to use the chemical, they could buy fluoride tablets to add to drinking water or use toothpaste with added fluoride.

The empty chair at the forum on asylum seekers and refugees at Byron Theatre last week told a story. That chair was reserved for a case worker from the Australian government’s offshore detention centre for asylum seekers in Nauru. She could not attend owing to the government’s draconian policy of gagging and going after anyone disclosing any information about conditions in Australia’s gulags reserved for people fleeing persecution. The cloak of secrecy is owing to The Australian Border Force Act 2015, enacted in May. It criminalises the disclosure of ‘protected information’ relating to detention centres, with whistleblowers facing up to two years in jail. Byron Shire councillor Paul Spooner, moderator of the forum, read out a letter smuggled out of Nauru that was sent to the absent caseworker. The letter was from a Hazaras refugee, one of the persecuted peoples of Afghanistan’s sectarian conflict. The letter spoke of the ‘images of torn bodies and bloodied coffins still in our memories,’ and of their determination to make the dangerous journey to Australia, braving the risk of becoming a ‘meal for the fishes.’ Apart from refugees addressing the crowd, the evening featured the award-winning documentary Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea, shot with hidden cameras in refugee camps in Indonesia. The film gave a human

face to the asylum-seeker tragedy unfolding across our shores. A Byzantine and corrupt bureaucracy controls the fate of refugees in Indonesia, many of whom have risked all and crossed continents, then have had to wait months to be registered with UNHCR. Many were also critical of International Organisation for Migration (IOM), funded by Australia, saying IOM was paying refugees to return to their countries, despite the risk of persecution. One clip from the film showed refugees in an Indonesian jail saying: ‘We are continuing our hunger strike until free or die.’ The film painted a harrowing picture of the fate of refugee detainees in Indonesia and of those who make the perilous voyage across uncertain seas to Australia. We saw pictures of whole families, some still missing, many drowned, a few who made it. One young Afghan man was the sole surviving member of his family, the rest were killed by the Taliban. Another segment showed a young fam-

ily living in Australia, minus the husband, who was denied entry. An asylum seeker said, ‘We are not dangerous; we are escaping from danger.’ Another Iraqi man said, ‘I would choose to die in pursuit of freedom’, while his wife cried in the background. Whole boatloads of people had been intercepted and turned back by Australian customs, one after a 22-day voyage. The most gut-wrenching scene of all showed a boatload of refugees, tossed in huge seas, about to be smashed on the rocks.

$400,000 per detainee, per year How many asylum seekers are in detention in Australia and how much does it cost the taxpayer? It’s difficult to arrive at a clear picture owing to the secrecy and bureaucracy surrounding Australia’s mandatory detention policy. According to ABC Fact Check, as of May this year, there were 1,577 men, women and children in detention. And the government’s own figures show Australia spends $3.3 billion a year on its immigration detection regime. Government figures from last year put the cost at more that $400,000 per detainee per year, which is more than

Not only does Australia’s bigotry comes with a high price tag, our reputation is being diminished: SMH reported on September 26 that the UN’s special rapporteur on the human rights of migrants, Canada’s Francois Crepeau, cancelled a recent visit to investigate the conditions at Nauru and Manus Island as the Australian government could not ‘guarantee legal immunity to detention centre workers who discuss asylum seekers and migrants’. Amnesty International have been refused entry into Nauru. Indeed, Australia’s treatment of asylum seekers has become a national disgrace and an international scandal. There are serious allegations of mismanagement, lack of medical facilities, overcrowding, violence, sexual assault, rape, which include ‘67 allegations of child abuse, 30 of them involving detention centre staff,’ as a Senate inquiry heard in July. Meanwhile, Australia is busy seeking a seat on the UN Human Rights Council, mandated to protect and promote human rights worldwide. Australia, a country colonised by an invasion of boat people, has been resettling refugees for more than 170 years. Australia has a legal and moral responsibility to treat the newest arrivals with the respect and compassion they deserve. If we truly want to stop the boats, we will need to stop the bombing.

Shark shark shark shark… sharks New data released by the NSW Department of Primary Industries has detailed the movements of eight tagged white pointers off the coast. Their sizes range between 2.2 and 3.1 metres. Two travelled large distances (one from Port Stephens in NSW and the other from Rainbow Beach in QLD), yet they all appeared to have congregated around Evans Head. The North Coast Local Waters Shark Tagging Project is part of the NSW government’s $250,000 targeted shark-attack mitigation campaign. The project is being led out of Ballina by

the department’s shark biologists Dr Vic Peddemors and Dr Paul Butcher, in collaboration with CSIRO experts. Meanwhile helicopters have continued patrolling northern rivers beaches during the school holidays. On Saturday, more than ten surfers returned to shore after a patrol helicopter spotted a three-metre great white shark off Boulder Beach around 10.30am. The images were captured by Lismore-based company Rotorwing Helicopter Services, and they say no sharks were spotted on Sunday’s patrol.

Carol Kelly passed away peacefully in her sleep from natural causes in the early hours of Friday morning September 25. She was suffering from a debilitating lung condition but kept smiling until the end and many will be surprised by this news. Carol was a well known, and much loved character, incredibly social, with a quick wit. She was direct, intelligent, well read and enjoyed a good conversation. Born in Stoke, England on December 27, 1951, Carol trav-

elled extensively and, eventually made her way to Sydney. She moved to the Byron Shire in 1996 and originally lived in Federal. Carol had spent the last 15 years in Brunswick Heads

where she ran the ‘Lucky Duck Store’, volunteered with the Brunswick Heads Visitors centre and had a Bay FM radio show. Our thoughts are with Carol’s daughter Grace and son Jason. There will be a service on Friday October 9 at Torakina from 3.30pm, and then the magic bus will depart at 5.30pm for the Billinudgel Hotel where Carol’s life will be celebrated in true Carol Kelly fashion: great live music from one of her favourite bands, The Feramones, and requests to dress ‘absolutely fabulously’. All are welcome.

MP defends CSG promise With Metgasco advancing their plans to drill for gas near Lismore, opponents are continuing to pressure Lismore MP Thomas George to come good with a promise to buy back PEL 445, which covers a large area of the Lismore electorate. Thomas George made an eleventh-hour commitment prior to the last state election, and went on to win the election by a narrow margin.

In a release last week, Mr George said, ‘The buyback scheme was a program in which PEL holders could approach government and surrender their licence for a fixed fee, which was $212,500.’ ‘The ending of that scheme does not preclude the government [from] negotiating with PEL holders. Further PEL buy-backs from titleholders may be negotiated on a caseby-case basis. As promised,

I will continue to encourage the government to negotiate the purchase PEL445.’ Ballina MP Tamara Smith (Greens) said, ‘With Thomas George now nowhere to be seen on this issue, it’s as if he’s completely given up on the northern rivers. Meanwhile, his son Stuart George is still busy at work for Metgasco, the company this week announcing plans to pursue seismic testing around Rock Valley.’

Get the hell out of the Middle East

Volume 30 #17

October 7, 2015

Help Anthony wake up A conspiracy theory sees the NSW minister for industry, resources and energy, Anthony Roberts, being held hostage in a basement by the mining industry. He is bullied into fronting a camera to declare that Tony Abbott was right, coal is good for humanity, and fracking makes your hair grow back. It’s really no stranger than Mr Roberts’s own scenario, presented to the already converted at a luncheon for the Centre for Economic Development, that there is a new industry called activism. ’These people are highly paid, highly trained by various agencies, not just in this country but around the world. Part of their program to disrupt and destabilise the fossil fuel industry… through social media and various other forms, putting pressure on banks.’ Those poor banks. Read more of Roberts’s rave at http://bit.ly/Robertsrant. We can perhaps forgive young Anthony, 45, for being so silly. After all, he’s a Sydney boy, a Liberal with a privileged education and now the member for Lane Cove, more famous for mining lattes than natural resources. A former director of a PR firm and electorate officer for John Howard, he was tagged by Crikey as ‘the Minister for Alan Jones’. Roberts might now be peeved that Jones has joined the anti-fracking mob. His smooth liaison with 2GB’s star must have failed. I’m sure, though, that Anthony could learn about life outside the Sydney bubble. He has a Facebook page http://bit.ly/TonesFB and a website. We could tell him about farmers concerned about productive food land – yes, Anthony, food is a resource, too, along with sunlight – being despoiled by mining, about self-employed activists forgoing income to help said farmers protect their land. And about how the future is different to the coal-dark vision his mates are selling. Michael McDonald

THE BYRON SHIRE

f there was not enough evidence already that Australian policy in the Middle East is failing, surely the pointless murder of an innocent and unarmed police worker by a fanatical teenager has confirmed it. Malcolm Turnbull has already moved; he is reaching out to the local Muslim community and endeavouring to dismantle the mindless alliteration of the dogmatic determination to degrade and destroy the Daesh death cult, beloved by his predecessor. But it will take more than removing the jingoistic slogans to repair the damage that has been done to the Australian body politic. It is time to admit that we have once again charged impetuously and perhaps quixotically into a situation we could not control; we may have done so with the best of intentions but we have got it wrong. To be blunt, it is time to get the hell out of the Middle East altogether. That will involve a monumental backflip; it will cause a major rethink for the defence establishment and it will disconcert and dismay our allies, particularly those in Washington. But the facts can no longer be ignored: as long as our troops remain on what is seen as Islamic lands, they will be a constant provocation to all Muslims, and most particularly to the disaffected within our own community. There has been much talk about ‘foreign fighters’, Australians and others taking up arms in Iraq and Syria on behalf of Islamic State. But by all logic, it is the Australian troops fighting against them who are the foreign fighters. They can have no legitimate national interest in the battle; they have become participants because of politics, through the perceived need to strengthen Western ideology and dominance.

They are, if you like, mercenaries, hegemonists. That is not to denigrate the soldiers, airmen and support staff who have been sent to the conflict: they may well believe their case just, and they may be convinced by what they have been told by Canberra, or Washington. They are, by and large, brave and unselfish men and women. But it is generally conceded that they make little military difference; if IS is genuinely to be degraded and destroyed, it will have to be from a massive effort led by the United States, and that

They have adduced as their justifications to repel aggression, to avenge terrorism, to replace regimes of which they disapprove, to eliminate putative weapons of mass destruction, to nurture western-style democracy and to ensure their own commercial interests, notably oil supplies. Their motives have been confused and at times contradictory, but that has been their business. It has never been ours, and as our various leaders have attempted to master the script, it has invariably come back to the basic fact that Australia has

It is time to admit we have once again charged impetuously into a situation we could not control. by Mungo MacCallum is not going to happen any time soon. In the meantime, the jihadists provide constant and priceless propaganda material to the avowed enemy, resulting in the risk, and at times the reality, of terrorism and death in Australia. Tony Abbott’s excellent adventure has, self-evidently, failed. And we should not be surprised: Australian incursions into foreign lands have seldom succeeded, and almost never in the Middle East. Since the disaster of Gallipoli, this should have been the lesson for all governments of all persuasions. There have been a couple of isolated exceptions: the siege of Tobruk and the charge at Beersheba have been widely celebrated. But there were instances of wider and more justified World Wars. When we have volunteered to fly the flag for our allies in the region, it has invariably ended in tears. Since their defeat in Vietnam, the United States has ventured four times into the Middle East.

been in there because Washington has asked us to. There has never been any legitimate national interest in pursuing wars in Afghanistan, Kuwait, Iraq (three times) and now Syria. There has certainly been rhetoric, along the lines of the need to combat aggression, terrorism or pure evil, the importance of being an active and involved international participant, and more recently an echo of the Vietnam excuse: if we don’t stop them over there, they will somehow reach into our own country and destroy our open way of life. And it has happened, hasn’t it? We have seen the emergence of local protagonists, most notoriously in Man Haron Monis and in Farhad Khalil Mohammed Jabar. But it can be convincingly argued that they have appeared not in spite of our belligerence in the Middle East, but because of it. The most important duty of a government is to protect the safety of its own citizens. Our actions in Iraq and Syria are de-

monstrably not doing so. And in any case, it is time to embark on that quintessentially free-market exercise, a cost-benefit analysis. What, if anything, have we achieved through the fear, division and angst that have been the result of our military endeavours – not to mention the carrier loads of money poured into them? Not a lot, and definitely no more than could have been achieved by working domestically to restrain and pacify the radicals, admitted by the government and all its agencies to have been very few. They have never been coming after us, and they are not now. To suggest that the misfits are a serious threat to our society is mistaken and to claim that somehow bombing targets halfway around the world will fix any worries that exist is frankly absurd. The Middle East has always been a cauldron; intervention by the western powers has invariably been misguided and most often counterproductive. And now the Russians have intervened, attacking not only those we say are the enemy but also some we say are our friends. For Australia to deny that there is nothing more to be gained and a great deal to be lost in the ongoing confrontation is clearly deluded. Tony Abbott’s position was always more metaphysical than rational; to him the fight was not about strategic objectives, it was a personal crusade, perhaps even a prelude to Armageddon. Malcolm Turnbull has the potential to bring us back to reality – to focus, as he and his colleagues are always saying, on outcomes. And that being the case, it is time to cut our losses, and tell Washington that we have tried, but enough is enough. It is time to take a deep breath, bite the bullet and grit our teeth. It is time to get the hell out.

Diesel danger

ABC radio news, 7am October 2, continued dialogue with experts on the dangers of diesel fuel associated with the recent VW scandal. The flow of information went wider, revealing that Paris has outlawed diesel-emitting vehicles and the UK is following this trend. Diesel is also outlawed in Philadelphia in the US. This action commenced in the 1990s and health warnings on the effects of particles on living species revealed a link to the rise in lung cancer, as the particles lodge in the lungs. The hazards of particles reveals that they are not only locally situated but they travel far and wide. While a relief to traffic congestion in Byron is welcomed by the mooted diesel train to run from Sunrise to the Byron township, it seems apparent that deep

moral and ethical questions stand out. Has a study been done on the emission of particles and their consequent effects on health? Is it worth taking the risk without the guarantee? With other countries exercising extreme caution re diesel fumes it could be argued that it is negligent to proceed without guarantees. The train does save the line from being torn up and that is worthy but it seems what ‘gifts’ are offered with one hand could well be taken with the other, should diesel health dangers be revealed. Jo Faith Newtown, Sydney

cial from April 2012 to August 2014, told Al Jazeera’s Mehdi Hasan, in an interview aired 31 July, that rejecting strong DIA advice to the contrary, the Obama administration made a ‘wilful decision’ to arm and support known terrorist groups in Syria, including Al-Qaeda, so that they could make war against the Syrian government. Not only did Obama and the groups’ other supporters know full well that their actions would mean the declaration of an Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, General Flynn charged, but they welcomed it.

Drug driving

It is absolutely absurd that there is no legal level of THC allowable by law in the saliva or the bloodstream when driving – as there is with that much more dangerous drug, alcohol. Even the slightest

Online comment of the week This is more than a ‘bridge too far’. This long-debated project has upturned more mismanagement, contradiction and (almost) precedent in the disregard for the treasures and pride in our environmental awareness of the whole shire being a flora and fauna protected zone. It is shameful. Even the LEP quoted is 1988. Q Comment by Cherie in response to the story ‘West Byron developers plan to drain wetland’ – www.echo.net.au/2015/10/west-byron-developers-planto-drain-wetland

trace of THC – which I’m told can be detected from a smoke many hours, days or even a week previously – will get you convicted of Driving Under the Influence. You’ll lose your licence, perhaps your job, get fined, and perhaps even face jail time. And in the absence of an allowable level, there should be an impairment test for people who test positive for THC in their systems, if they’re picked up in a random roadside test without having driven erratically or broken any road laws. Surely these roadside testing units could have a driving simulator – basically a car seat and

a computer game coupled to a steering wheel and pedals – which can test your reaction times, and test whether you correctly handle on-screen simulations of sudden driving emergencies. (The same simulator could work in cases of alcohol readings over the permitted limits.) As a cannabis user for many years, I am convinced that I was safer behind the wheel having had a smoke rather than being straight. I was so much more focused on the driving and so much more attuned as regards my senses. Calmer and therefore less likely to speed. More focused on the process of getting there than

netdaily.net.au on the destination. My eyes continually scanned the road ahead, and looked further ahead than otherwise – arguably the best way of avoiding accidents. When driving while straight, I often found myself on auto-pilot, in charge of the car well enough, but totally unfocused on the driving – my mind a million miles away. My gaze sometimes drifted off the road, and I was driving with not much more than peripheral vision. No problems, until the unexpected happens. When straight, my speeds tended to drift up to around 10–20km over the limit, whereas when stoned I scrupulously observed speed limits. When, oh when, are our politicians going to grow some brains and stop demonising this herb? William Randolph Hearst and Harry Anslinger are two Americans from the 1930s who have a huge burden of guilt for the way they’ve destroyed or damaged so many lives worldwide, and enriched so many criminals and corrupt officials in getting almost all countries of the world to declare it illegal.

Kombi dream gasps in VW’s noxious fumes Story & image S Sorrensen

The Kombi is parked outside the old Uki buttery, next to the park, its side door open. It’s an older model, with rust breaking out on its blue skin, like acne on a teenager. It stands out in the sea of Subarus and Nissans glinting around it. My heart skips a beat at seeing the old Kombi. Kombis are a part of our cultural history. Remember when those nasty Libyans used a Kombi to shoot at Doc and Marty in Back to the Future? Remember how they had trouble starting it? Remember the colourful 1963 splitscreen Kombi in Bran Nue Dae? Or the yellow Kombi in Little Miss Sunshine? (It had a broken clutch as I recall. But Kombis have never been about masterful engineering; they are a lifestyle choice.) A wisp of blue smoke idles its way out from the Kombi’s interior darkness before being whisked away by a spring zephyr to ride the morning warmth up Wollumbin’s flank. Two small children, one pantless, run about in the park. Next to the Kombi’s

open door, a woman, dreadlocked and shawled, throws a plastic bucket of water onto the grass. Washing done, I guess. She smiles at the kids, who are chasing each other and screaming, and throws the bucket back into the Kombi bowels. Kombis were called hippie vans. You could raise a family – and a crop – in a Kombi. And is there anything more impressive than thirty Kombis driving into Nimbin as part of MardiGrass’s Kombi Konvoy? (The impressive part is that so many actually make it from Lismore without beaking down.) Kombis are the symbol of

hope – hope of a better world; hope of actually getting there. Or, at least, they were. I remember driving a Kombi into Nimbin decades ago, a hairball of hippies

bouncing on a mattress in the back, singing along to Exodus blasting from a cassette player gaffer-taped to where a dash would normally be. The Kombi rocked in the wind as I prepared for a right turn at the bottom of the hill. Kombi turning was not something to be taken lightly, given the brick-like aerodynamics. With the wind from astern as I neared the Stony Chute intersection, it was more like a jib than a turn. Tricky. Liberal use of the anchor was an essential part of sailing a Kombi. Kombis gave us another way of living. Of freedom. They chugged us to self-discovery. Its little sister the Beetle

was the people’s car, putting the carton of beer and picnic basket before the engine. Its little brother Porsche was every boy’s wet dream. Long live Volkswagen. King of cars. The new age on four wheels (except when cornering). But now, as John Lennon said, the dream is over. Volkswagen knowingly cheated on American and European emissions testing, its latest diesel models adding toxic nitrogen oxides and deadly diesel particulates to an already tainted atmosphere in a cynical deceit to gain better fuel consumption. Oh dear. We, the people, have been betrayed yet again. What is left of the dreams of a genera-

tion? Has software and profit won out over style and leaking sumps? Has the people’s car contributed to a polluted planet? What can I say? The dream is over. Maybe it’s over for all fossil-fuelled engines. Maybe a new age will rise from the ashes of V-dub dreaming. Volkswagen is now a concept by which we measure our pain. I don’t believe in Audi. I don’t believe in Golf. I don’t belive in Skoda. I believe in me, Tesla and me; that’s reality. Q Read more of S’s work at

Fire-safe spring clean

Fire & Rescue NSW would like to encourage all Byron Shire residents to check the condition of the mains hydrant closest to their home or business and to ensure that their property number is clearly visible from the street. Residents are also asked to spring clean the gutters of their homes and remove garden waste from their yards. Most council water hydrants are indicated by the blue cat’s eye in the centre of the road and a solid yellow triangle painted on the road will indicate which side of the council strip the hydrant is located. The hydrant cap is also painted yellow and should be clearly visible from the street. In the event of a fire, every minute counts in accessing water supply for fire fighters. Precious minutes can be lost searching for obscured or grass-covered hydrants, particularly at night. ‘Please ensure that your nearest mains hydrant is not obscured or covered by grass, garden beds, vehicles or garden debris,’ says Fire & Rescue NSW. ‘If possible check under the cap to determine if the hydrant is readily accessible and clear of dirt and debris, particularly ant nests. ‘Rural property owners with electric pumps should also consider a backup petrol-driven pump to use in the event of a fire to pump from water tanks or pools. Forward planning could save your home. ‘If you have any concerns regarding the condition or visibility of your nearest mains hydrant, please contact Byron Shire Council 6626 7000 or council@byron.nsw.gov.au.’ North Coast news daily: www.echonetdaily.net.au

The weird false economy of travelling apples Daniel Sage

As Baloo the Bear sung in Jungle Book, the simple bare necessities of life are all you need. But are they so simple in our super-modern world? What do we need the most? Used to be, if you wanted

a decent coffee, you had to travel hundreds of miles out of London. To France, to Italy, to Greece. The further you went, the better the cup would be. By the time you got to Turkey or Ethiopia, you were looking at a serious brew.

For modern true believers, coffee-head circumnavigators, seeing the coast of Australia is to feel the roast of Australia within reach – your bones start jumping at the prospect of a proper cuppa. There must be some allure the other way too because good coffee is now available in London on pretty much every street corner, a purely twenty-first century phenomenon. Chances are, it’s an Aussie at the controls.

We adapt

Check out our new website rustymillersurf.com/byron-guide

It might seem a simple thing, but the simple pleasures make the modern world tick. And the more of them you have, and the simpler they are, the better you feel. Though, actually, that’s not true. What’s really going on is our human ability to get used to things. We adapt. Many elements that make our days normal are incredibly complex and amazing. Except they don’t amaze us because we’re used to the thrill or we plain don’t notice. That coffee on the high street with its beans from a mountain on another continent, machines to roast it,

If apples could swim. Source: Promethean Graphics

blend it, zap it with steam, and froth on some milk – pumped that morning from a genetically modified cow – let alone the giant economic mechanisms whirring away behind, is a bloody wonder. But boring at the same time. As is so much of the wonder all about us. Take the metal and glass supercomputer in my pocket that connects me to all available information on the planet free of charge, and makes phone calls. But I’m tempted by the company to buy a new upgrade.

Endless upgrades Or my comfy box of a car that takes me to town, fuelled by the controlled explosions of 80-million-year-old fossil juice. I should drive like a dog, head out the window, lapping up every magic minute. But I don’t, I curse the traffic. Later, at the shops, I can pick from an abundance of foodstuffs from all over the world, fresh, disease-free, cheap. It’s hard to choose

what to have for dinner. We adapt so quickly, a philosopher might tell you we’ve adapted to adaptation itself. While a spiritual person might say, Ah, but stopping and appreciating, that’s what makes you happy. And they are both right.

Lunacy But there is a lunatic element too. A most upsidedown logic rules the roost. In the UK, the most popular and cheapest apples in our biggest supermarket chain, Tesco, come from New Zealand. They travel 12,000 miles to be bought for a few pence less than the local ones. Pretty much the one thing that grows in every single garden in this country is apples. There is no – and never will be – a shortage of apples. But as the Tesco slogan says, Every little helps. Every little corruption of value, they could add. Excel spreadsheet economics shaves fractions of a cent off items that we would never countenance buying if

we stopped to think about the absurdity and obscenity of their origin. So, getting used to things often equates to not minding or not caring. Hence, we enjoy the benefits of globalisation while watching news reports of climate trouble and ever-hotter summers. We know ever more fully the power of being thankful for what we have, but we are goaded to discontent by an endless, false wash of advertising that stinks up every other minute to persuade us we need things we don’t.

Paradox It’s one thing voyaging to find what you love, to savour the quality, and appreciate what it took to get you there. It’s another to sit, like the chair-bound fatties in Disney’s cartoon Wall-E, and let all the modern bounty come to you, however jarring the provenance. There’s a paradox at work. The twentieth century slogan of ‘Think globally, act locally’ (first used in 1915) is as valid as it ever was, but since the globe has become so complexly bound and interconnected, it’s more important than ever to make sure of where the true value of things lies. It was a lot simpler in Baloo’s part of the jungle: Look for the bare necessities The simple bare necessities Forget about your worries and your strife. I mean the bare necessities Old Mother Nature’s recipes That brings the bare necessities of life. Wherever I wander, wherever I roam I couldn’t be fonder of my big home The bees are buzzin’ in the tree To make some honey just for me When you look under the rocks and plants And take a glance at the fancy ants Then maybe try a few The bare necessities of life will come to you They’ll come to you!

Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle bodywork that releases tightness in body fascia, the skull and pelvis. It’s effective for neck and back pain, headaches, migraine, vertigo, jaw problems, relaxation and much more.

Treatment may include massage, adjustments, dry-needling, postural and core re-education, exercise therapy and more. Health fund rebates apply.

Neurocranial Health

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

Finding Your Voice

DURING SERIOUS ILLNESS Chronic or life-threatening illness introduces uncertainty and chaos into life amid a desire to restore our former selves. We may lose more than physical health, potentially inviting reflection upon this transition. Yet for some, illness may also be a challenging journey of transformation, paradoxically bringing to life a new sense of self that can only be discovered through adversity and suffering, whatever the medical outcome. Graeme James (M Couns, CMCAPA) is a counsellor, psychotherapist and supervisor. Graeme provides support to explore your illness experience, find meaning, reinforce coping, and strengthen your sense of self. Graeme James 0412518024 www.byronbaycounsellingsupervision.com.au

Byron Hospice Service THE GIFT OF CARING

Our volunteers are often asked, ‘What’s it like caring for a “dying” person?’ A carer’s response: ‘It’s such a privilege to do such simple service – spending time with our clients and their primary carers, in their own homes, at such a special time for them’. ‘And of course we learn about ourselves – how to be simply present. To play a small part in that process – to help someone die with dignity – is the service we’re invited to share with them. It’s a time for honesty and love.’ For more information about our ‘Last Aid’ course, call Don on 0418 650 608 or email: don47paula48@gmail.com.

Toxicity of Bisphenol A ( BPA ) A new study finds that children who have their cavities filled with a white composite resin known as bis-GMA appear to develop small but quantifiable drops in psychosocial function. Put simply: Treated kids can become more moody, aggressive and generally less well adjusted. Bis-GMA is hardly a household name, although its starting ingredient — bisphenol A — is. An estrogenmimicking compound, BPA is best known as a building block of some clear plastics, food-contact resins and inks in store receipts. A new report, posted online 16 July in Pediatrics has found that ‘the short-term use of BPA-containing dental materials should be minimised and that manufacturers should discontinue the materials’ use in children as soon as acceptable substitutes are available’. In the new study, researchers followed more than 400 youngsters with cavities after each received his or her first-ever fillings. Throughout the next five years, the scientists linked a subtle drop in behavioural scores to cavities that had been filled with a composite material made from bis-GMA.

Cook. Surf. Love. Susanna Freymark

How not to be a bastard in the kitchen Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay has made a name for himself as an angry cook who swears and shouts in the kitchen. Three of the shire’s top chefs prove it doesn’t have to be that way. Darren Robertson from Three Blue Ducks in Byron Bay, Steven Snow from Fins in Kingscliff and Takashi Yaguohi from Doma in Federal believe food cooked with love tastes better, and stress in the kitchen is unnecessary. Surfing is one way all three chefs beat the stress. Snow has cooked with

Ramsay. ‘He’s an extremely rude bucket-mouth,’ were the kindest words Snow could find about the famous hotheaded chef. Snow admits he used to be angry in the kitchen. ‘I learnt to meditate, stand on my head, do anything to stop manifesting into a horrible person because I was such a perfectionist,’ he says. It worked, with surfing providing the greatest outlet of all. ‘No-one is allowed to upset anyone in my kitchen,’ he says. ‘Right now, I have the best kitchen team. For two days

we all went surfing at Cabarita Point. We really like each other. These guys are radical. It’s about respect. I never yell.’ Robertson reveals that he wasn’t the nicest chef in his younger years. ‘I’ve been a bastard. Sleep deprived from long hours. I don’t want to conduct a kitchen like that,’ Robertson says. Now he values the lifework balance for himself and his staff. ‘I’m not a screamer in the kitchen,’ Robertson says. ‘You have to be assertive though. You get more out of people by talking to them.’ Listening is one of the best skills for a chef, he says and after working with renowned chef Tetsuya for eight years,

Byron Bay – food journey now updated Local publisher, Sample Food Festival organiser and foodie Remy Tancred has refreshed her Byron Bay cookbook, a 224-page collection of recipes and photographs from many of the region’s producers, caterers, restaurants and cafes. But the northern rivers food experience is not just about sitting in cafes. The book, which sold 5,000 copies

in its first edition, reinforces the fact that this area is a fertile food bowl, renowned for the quality of its produce and the ingenuity of its growers and producers, and provides three sample foodie trails from Byron for the home cook to follow and discover more about the local area. www.byronbay-cookbook. com

Robertson learnt to keep things simple. He regularly surfs with his four business partners from The Farm. Yaguohi has been a chef for 13 years and was lured from Japan to the northern rivers because he was keen to surf. The range of organic food in the area especially appealed to him. ‘In Japan, since the radiation, people care more about organics,’ Yaguohi says. He has been running the Doma Cafe in Federal for three years after learning from Byron’s O-Sushi owner Dan Regev, who had a favourite saying — ‘Love is the best spice for food.’ ‘When busy waitresses are always smiling, this is love. We all influence each other. I love to make people laugh and create a good mood in the kitchen,’ Yaguohi says. ‘I have to put love into the

food.’ Now, who is going to tell Gordon Ramsay? Darren Robertson from Three Blue Ducks in Byron Bay, Steven Snow from Fins in Kingscliff and Takashi Yaguohi from Doma in Federal believe food cooked with love tastes better, and stress in the kitchen is unnecessary.

FROM A FOLK HEART

IT’S A WILDE WORLD

Few people past the age of thirty wouldn’t know who Wilbur Wilde is. In fact, he made his way into our loungerooms every Saturday as the saxophone player on the Hey Hey It’s Saturday house band. Always up for a laugh, Wilbur became part of our Saturday-night furniture, along with an ostrich, a guy called Red and that other bloke with black hair. While Hey Hey is no more, the Wilde horn continues. This time Wilbur joins forces with Frankie J Holden (Old 55, Buddies U, legends of TV shows such as In Melbourne Tonight, Underbelly and of course Hey Hey). These two know how to put on a show. ‘We connect with the audience,’ says Wilbur. ‘We do Old 55, Daddy Cool, the Falcons. We know about 10,000 songs but we have a tried and true 8–10 that are in the set most nights. You have your standby gags up your sleeve, and the rest happens under your nose. Frank and I both know it’s not enough to do the songs; you have to entertain. That’s the thing we have learnt over the years. We met each

other in 1975 in Old 55, we have done theatre together, TV – we know how to give an audience a good time!’ Even as a seasoned musician, Wilbur still puts in a good hour or more a day into his craft. ‘You just have to,’ he says. ‘I have resolved to put my horn in my mouth as much as I can. I do scales, and there is a classical piece I have been playing that is good for control on the horn. If I have done it well my lips are burning. It’s like circuit training for the mouth. I have a strong sense of personal excellence. It’s the same with every performance.’ Wilde is a big man with an even bigger energy on the stage, and he’s bloody loud! ‘I would be the loudest horn player in the country; it’s a trademark – I can push air through the horn!’ Experience what has been called ‘controlled mayhem’ at the Ballina RSL on Friday, 8.30pm. Frankie J Holden & Wilbur Wilde – Classics (18+) $30. Tickets at the club.

M E L B O U R N E - B A S E D S I N G E R /S O N G W R I T E R TO BY ROBINSON RELEASED HIS DEBUT SOLO ALBUM IN J U N E – I M M E D I A T E L Y R E C E I V I N G N A T I O N A L A I R P L A Y, I N C L U S I O N O N T H E A B C L O C A L P L AY L I S T.

Two years in the making, Toby’s self-titled album was created in collaboration with his great friends and bandmates, Rob Kidd and Craig Hadlow, and producer Nick Huggins. How did starting out as a busker help hone your onstage act? Busking was such a great way to have an introduction to performing. The best thing about busking is not only are you getting your ‘chops’ up; I really learned to feel comfortable in front of an audience. By the time I was 14 I was at home onstage and had an ability to read a crowd. This all really only came about to up my pocket money! How important was your family in seeding your love of music? I grew up around music. My dad was a real folky back in the 60s and 70s. He taught me how to play guitar and gave me an education in bluegrass, blues, ragtime and folk music, which he still does today. Mum was a talented singer; when she was younger she was very passionate about opera. Between the two of them they were very encouraging when I started to show a real interest in music. Dad was also my first band manager! Who are the artists that have influenced you the most? It’s always a hard question and one that changes like the seasons. I really admire great songwriters such as Mark Knopfler, Ry Cooder, and George Harrison. These guys had, and still do have, such a broad outlook on life and an ability to blend different cultural music together; it’s what it’s all about. I also love bands such as The Cure and The Shins. A lot can be said for beautiful moody grooves.

What is it about the banjo do you think that adds that point of difference to what you bring to the stage or studio? I think the banjo gives me an opportunity to be more intimate on stage; the songs I write on banjo are much softer. Having said that it’s also a great instrument to jam out and improvise on. I guess too it’s the old sound of the banjo that people have a real connection with. What’s your songwriting practice involve? My songwriting inspiration comes in waves. Normally when I either have a lot of mental space or am going through change, songs come to the surface. I’m always mucking around on a guitar and if a chord pattern sticks I’ll record it, come back to it and start to play and develop it further. When I have more of a stable form to it I’ll record a demo and listen to it for a few weeks and make changes that come to mind. I think songwriting really takes persistence and work. I seem to get about five good songs out of every 15 that I write. It really helps to surround yourself with other songwriters too. What should we expect for your show at the Hotel Great Northern? I’ll be joined by my good pals Rob Kidd (bass, keys) and Steve Robin (drums) to play two sets of great material I’ve written over the last five years. A mix of alt-country folk and pop, and lots of jamming out! Should be a great night! And it’s free! Toby Robinson plays Urban Tales with a Folk Heart at the Hotel Great Northern on Wednesday 14 October and at the Treehouse in Belongil on Thursday.

I wonder if this ‘driving my mother crazy by making my mother drive’ or the new ‘driving my mother to the places she doesn’t want to go’ is some sort of revenge for the hours I strapped them into baby seats and made them go to the places that I wanted to go to – like supermarkets, and grandparents’ houses or family holidays. For the endless hours they screamed and cried like upsidedown beetles, legs flailing, flapping in useless resistance, snot pouring out of their heads as I turned and cooed, ‘Not much longer darling, nearly there,’ turned up MY music, and then we’d drive on for another three hours, after they’d finally passed out in sheer exhaustion. Now it’s my turn as hostage. I now understand why my own mother yelled, ‘You are driving me to the edge’. Just before you mum falls off, don’t forget to say ‘Thanks’.

The Ocean Party Light Weight October Tour

gh Li rty Pa n ea Oc e

Is it possible do you think to build a national career while living regionally? Yes, although it can depend on the individual artist. Some artists creatively thrive in a city environment while for others they need the space to think and create. Our small region’s being home to some of the biggest national music festivals provides an excellent platform for building local artist profiles. Byron Bay is a live music hub. There’s also a lot of other industry people (managers, promoters, producers etc) who now call this area home. The internet has given artists a worldwide platform to deliver their content; however, my best results have come from spending a lot of time gigging, on the road and many nights away from my family, which does come at a cost. What are the challenges that you face

as a musician?

What should we expect from you at MMF? A one-man band singing some songs and telling real stories from the road and beyond.

Tell me a little about how you work up a song from an idea.

The birth of each song for me is pretty different. Conception usually starts with a single line (often the catalyst for the chorus) and I have learnt over the years a

CULTURE

THE OCEAN PARTY PARTY

The Ocean Party are a bunch of Melbourne-via-Wagga guys who Rolling Stone have said ‘sure know how to craft a refreshing pop song’. With a knack for writing feel-good pop the band have just released their second single Greedy from their forthcoming album Light Weight. Greedy comes courtesy of Curtis Wakeling, who says, ‘Greedy is a short, sharp song that looks at the way advertising is invasively pushed and incorporated into our daily lives’. This is the young Melbourne band’s fifth album in five years – showing that there’s absolutely nothing lightweight about this band. They are having an album launch party at the Treehouse in Belongil on Saturday and See Space in Lismore on Sunday.

few techniques that usually see the song completed. There are, however, some unfinished songs I have been carrying for years that have yet to see the light of day. The way I work best is to record my initial ideas onto my phone when I get them (usually driving home from my gigs) and then I try to find time and space in my schedule to develop and expand on these thoughts and themes.

Music is my full-time business so I’ve had to work really hard at it to provide for my family as a professional musician now for eight years. I pretty much do everything myself (bookings, accounts, sound and lighting, tour management / promotion, merchandising etc) so the challenges I face are often with time management in juggling family life with the business as well as performing the shows and the creative songwriting process.The song that won me the opportunity to perform at last year’s Mullum Music Festival is called PAYDAY, which is a working man’s protest song. I wrote it about the challenge I was faced with as a working musician trying to make a living and not getting paid for work that’s already been done.

ARIES: This month’s emphasis on Aries partnerships

s r a t S with Lilith This week responds to a Libran approach: as in ﬁne-tuning our lives to include more beauty, truth and harmonious negotiations…

requires focus on the three Cs: Compromise, Consensus and Cooperation. Not easy for the zodiac’s inspired soloists, but a light hand works better than a heavy stand this week. If you meet resistance, bide your time till next week when decisions become easier.

TAURUS: Regular rhythms compatible with Tauran body clocks are easier to achieve this week, though there’s still a final few days of retrograde glitches and dummy spits to endure. Understand that the way others behave isn’t about you, and be grateful for whatever benefits each day brings to this garden of earthly delights. GEMINI: Wondering what your boss planet Mercury retrograde actually means? Instead of its usual swift passage, Mercury moves slowly so you get to hear, loud and clear, the message it’s sending. Which this week is that domestic issues need addressing, so you don’t keep on doing the things that continue causing problems.

CANCER: If early-week’s moody moon had your sensitive selves scuttling for cover, late-week’s celestial configurations soothe the burn of hurtful words, clarify misunderstandings, smooth the path of reconciliation, slip a wiggle into your sidestep and let you know how much, and how deeply, you really are appreciated.

LEO: While there’s plenty of general momentum for business startups this month, the present unstable conditions contraindicate making any investments before next week. In the meantime investigation, research and viability studies will be highly worthwhile, with late-week Leo moon your majesty’s best time for a spot of splendidly successful networking.

VIRGO: Jupiter and Mars, joined by late-week moon and Venus in Virgo, make guess who’s this week’s centre of pleasurable attention? With your confidence boosted, social life energised and attraction factor enhanced, be sensitive to others less lucky. Fail to pick up on subtle hints and stronger directives are likely to follow.

SAGITTARIUS: You’ll enjoy this month’s lively vibes in your social zone, not to mention its stimulating effect on finances. Ensure you stay in shape to take maximum advantage of this supportive goodwill by being extra careful this week driving, at work, or operating any kind of machinery – including vocal mechanics.

CAPRICORN: Certain situations will have to backtrack before your personal affairs can get back on track again. Though you already know things won’t be the same way they were, because your place in the world’s changing. Inconsistent conditions, unstable relationships and financial uncertainty all start to firm up around lateweek’s planetary shift. AQUARIUS: With October’s astral emphasis on ideas and education, is it time to revise your views about the world around you and the way you relate to it? Freshen your perspective, make some changes, do things differently and see if you’re happy with what happens. Results are always your most reliable guide. PISCES: If you’ve been struggling with troublesome hindrances to getting things moving, relax. When Venus joins late-week moon in your commitment zone, the cosmic kaleidoscope clicks forward again. Though when you’re required to decide whom you align with, it’s important to make the ethical choice. Even if it isn’t the easy one.

LIBRA: Mercury heading direct again combined with Venus in the sign of doing it right gives a delightfully decisive nudge to the should-I, shouldn’t-I, maybe-not, but-then-again Libran limbo of recent weeks. So you can surrender guilt free to this week’s lively party lights burning bright in lovely Libraland…

SCORPIO: This month adds the final finishing touches to your deep detox of ingrained behaviour patterns and old emotional tapes. Buffing up your natural leadership skills just in time to meet this week’s temper flares, broody moods and special needs with expanded understanding, elegant ease and classic Scorpio cool.

cinema Reviews BY JOHN CAMPBELL

THE INTERN

Honestly, Robert De Niro had to work harder in his Vittoria coffee commercial than he does in this. The great actor who was Jake La Motta, Travis Bickle and the young Vito Corleone has gone soft in the latter stages of his stellar career, but it doesn’t matter a jot, for his charisma, gravitas and faultless timing remain undiminished. And in any case, the film belongs to Anne Hathaway and she carries it off beautifully. She is Jules, the

fabulously successful founder and owner of an online fashion company. De Niro is Ben, a widowed, 70-year-old retiree who is employed as a junior as part of a policy designed to include more senior employees on staff. Jules is underwhelmed by the idea and Ben is a little too good to be true in what is a doubtful scenario to begin with, so it doesn’t take a degree in rocket science to see in advance where the story is

headed. Writer/director Nancy Meyers, however, has earned a reputation for making movies of wit and insight, with a particular appreciation of her female characters – Something’s Gotta Give (2003) being a modern classic of the rom-com genre. Meyers (she is 65) also credits her audience with having enough life experience to want to look beyond the man-boy gaucherie that is now a staple and it is this mature approach, albeit with a light-hearted delivery, that breathes freshness and credibility into Jules’s personal crisis. Some

of the dialogue tends to the declamatory – we shouldn’t need to have it spelt out for us, as Ben does for a pair of school mums, that Jules is a paragon who has smashed through the glass ceiling, or that working women must sacrifice all they’ve striven for to hold their family together – but then again, it doesn’t hurt to reinforce hard-won advances. De Niro is terrific as the fogey in the Facebook age who shaves every day even if he has no engagements, and Hathaway is drop-dead gorgeous as the newgen feminist.

to his predicament with more good cheer than you might reasonably expect of anybody in such isolation – I half expected him to break into song and dance while doing his daily video blog – and the fact that he was a botanist and able to grow his own potatoes was stretching a friendship to near breaking point. The porcelain Jessica Chastain being cast as captain of the mission that returned to help save their buddy was also hard to take, and Scott ratchets up the drama when Watney’s crop of spuds is ruined (not that you ever think that he won’t

make it back). What might have been an exercise in American boastfulness is elevated by the multiculturalism of those working towards the same end and the internationalism of the final effort. Much of the science was beyond me, so I daren’t accuse any of it as being bogus, but the human factor is powerful. We’ve dug a hole for ourselves on Earth – the news is never good and we seem to be hurtling towards Armageddon. The Martian encourages us to hope, to believe in what we can achieve through cooperation and with love in our hearts.

THE MARTIAN It’s probably a bridge too far, even for the conspiracy theorists that work for This Paper, to see the recent announcement of the discovery of water on Mars as a PR tie-in with Ridley Scott’s latest blockbuster – although stranger things have happened. The opening sequence is riveting; NASA’s team on the red planet is hit by a wild storm. They escape in their capsule, leaving behind their presumed dead colleague,

Mark Watney (Matt Damon). But Watney is alive. He staggers to the base module where he extracts a piece of metal from his gut and staples the wound together. Fantastic. I was with him totally from that moment. The thrust of the movie follows Ron Howard’s epic Apollo 13 (1995), as ground staff, headed by the uncompromising Teddy Sanders (Jeff Daniels), goes into overdrive in an effort to bring their man home. Watney adapts

The Mullumbimby Brunswick Valley Football Club ran a series of soccer clinics over the school holidays with coaches from Brisbane and Germany. On the first week of the break, the club hosted the German Soccer School, who brought out a team of coaches along with all of their equipment to run some high-intensity skills training camps for kids. The sessions, which ran for seven hours each day at the Pine Avenue fields, were the first-ever camps held in Australia by the German Soccer School, who have been running for 12 years in Dusseldorf. The week’s camp was fully subscribed, by kids who were

North Coast news daily:

eager to learn what the coaches had to bring from across the oceans. But there was still more for the local kids when last Thursday and Friday, the Brisbane Roar soccer club are ran their highly acclaimed Roar Active Holiday Clinics also at Pine Ave. Brisbane Roar ran three classes over the clinic – a two-day all-inclusive program for 6–11-year-olds, a short class for ‘Roar Cub’, 3–5-year-olds, and a special all-girls session. This program is the start of a commitment to an ongoing relationship between MBVFC and the Brisbane Roar, which both clubs hope will lead to mutually beneficial outcomes for both the community and players.

Dragons invite you to paddle Sport dominates During the month of October local Dragons Abreast Australia groups will be hosting events in their community to raise awareness of the benefits of dragon boat racing for breast cancer survivors. Dragons Abreast Australia is a national not-for-profit charity comprising breast cancer survivors (and some very special supporters) of various ages from a great variety of backgrounds, athletic abilities and interests. Dragons Abreast members provide a ‘face’ for the breast cancer statistics while spread-

ing the message of breast cancer awareness through participation in the wonderful and strenuous sport of dragon boat racing. Dragons Abreast commenced in Australia in 1998, following in the footsteps of a study by Dr Don McKenzie and a group of breast cancer survivors in Vancouver, Canada. Read more about the beginnings of Dragons Abreast Australia here: www. dragonsabreast.com.au. Events will be varied across the country from a ‘come and try’ paddle fol-

multicultural awards

Australian Multicultural Marketing Awards nominees the Australia Post One Netball program.

The Australian Rugby League Commission, Football Federation Australia and Netball Australia have all been announced as finalists at this year’s Australian Multicultural Marketing Awards (AMMA). Chief executive officer of Multicultural NSW Hakan Harman says the level of engagement from sporting codes is testament to a sporting culture that encourages and embraces cultural diversity. ‘The high number of entries from sporting organisations this year demonstrates how engaged Australian sporting organisations are in promoting multiculturalism,’ he said. ‘It’s really encouraging to see an industry that nurtures and encourages positive role models for all Australians grow its ethnic programs year on year.’ Among other finalists announced today are St George

Bank, NRMA Motoring & Services, Illawarra Shoalhaven Local Health District and TAFE NSW – Sydney Institute. Now in its 26th year, the AMMAs recognise top marketing campaigns from marketers, advertisers and agencies that speak to all Australians. Winners will be announced at the Gala Presentation Ceremony to be held at the Sydney Opera House this Monday, 12 October 2015. Award categories for 2015 include: Big Business; Small Business; Arts and Culture; Communities; Youth; Communication; Public Sector; and Education. The national awards program also includes the SBS People’s Choice Award, which is awarded based on the public vote. Online voting is open now – www.sbs.com.au/radio/ ammapeopleschoice.

Backlash Not exactly great news that bottle-fed babies should not be given formula that is mixed with fluoridated water, according to a warning from the NSW Health Department, especially as Rous Water has just added fluoride for its consumers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; apart from Byron Shire. The health advice is little known and Cr Vanessa Ekins, a Rous Water delegate, told Echonetdaily that Rous Water was failing to acknowledge that other countries had reduced the level of fluoride in supplies. Cr Ekins plans to move a motion calling on Rous Water to actively promote the health warnings on the NSW Health website regarding bottle-fed babies. Herein lies the problem with mass-medicating rather than selectively treating those at high risk of dental caries.
