CCTV by Christmas Chris Dobney

CCTV cameras are moving closer to being installed in 28 locations in Byron’s CBD, council have announced. It’s part of a strategy to make the streets safer by reducing drunken and antisocial behaviour. Opponents have objected on privacy grounds, but Council’s chief concern had been over who would cop the costs for installing and maintaining the service. Now council has received federal funding for the cameras. The cameras are being installed in locations from Apex Park at the beachfront, down Jonson Street to Railway Park and the transport hub (ending at Marvell Street). Installation will start this week and council advises there may be ‘minor disruptions to pedestrians and car parking as installers move along the street installing cabling.’ Council’s director of corporate management and community services, Mark Arnold said the Australian government funding for the cameras and lighting was provided ‘to help improve public safety in identified hot spots and address antisocial and unlawful behaviour.’ ‘The program builds on recent lighting upgrades in Apex and Railway Parks, around the Byron Bay Taxi rank and includes additional lighting on the corner of Bay and Jonson Streets,’ he said. Mr Arnold added the camera locations have been based on crime statistics provided by NSW Police and continued on page 2

Mullum’s 100-year-old Drill Hall Theatre is one step closer to getting solar power, thanks to the generous donations that totalled over $4,000 from the community who attended the COREM event on Sunday. COREM stands for Community

Owned Renewable Energy Mullumbimby, and is a ‘not-for-profit community action group’ aiming to move Mullum into a renewable future. Apart from performers, food and artistry, there was a big picture panel, who explained what is hap-

pening globally with renewable energy and in particular, community-owned projects. A post-launch public meeting will be held from 6.30pm to 8.30pm, Thursday October 29 at Mullum Ex-Services Club. For more visit www.corem.org.au.

Mining licence bought back Another one down – three to go. The government buy back of one of four remaining northern rivers petroleum exploration licences (PELs) was welcomed by all sides of politics on Monday, and was announced by member for Lismore, Thomas George (Nationals). PEL 445 covers a massive area around Kyogle, Lismore, Nimbin and Evans Head and was owned by Dart Energy, a subsidiary of UKbased giant IGas Energy. Sources have told The Echo that the cost to the government was $1 million. Mr George said, ‘The NSW Liberals and Nationals government has removed a further 565,693 hectares of the northern rivers from Labor’s coal seam gas footprint, by delivering on the NSW Nationals’ election commitment to buy back PEL 445.’ Elly Bird from Gasfield Free Northern Rivers said, ‘We would like to take this opportunity to thank Thomas George and [NSW Energy Minister] Anthony Roberts for their efforts and for delivering continued on page 2

Minister mute over Mullum Hospital land grab Hans Lovejoy

NSW Health Minister Jillian Skinner’s office has declined to comment over whether she supports a valuable piece of real estate being returned to the community after it was secretly transferred to her department in 2010. The Echo previously reported that records indicate that 115 years ago, a resident gifted the Mullum Hospital

land to be always used as a health facility, and ever since, other community members have donated to building extensions and medical equipment. Instead, Ms Skinner’s office referred the question to the Northern NSW Local Health District, and its outgoing chief executive, Chris Crawford. Mr Crawford told The Echo, ‘Currently, no final decision has been made on the future of the

Mullumbimby Hospital site. In due course there will be community consultation regarding the future of the site. The first priority once the site becomes vacant will be the remediation and rehabilitation of the land to remove all asbestos that is currently present. If a decision is made to sell the site, the first call on any funds raised will be to pay for the remediation of the site.’

The Mullumbimby Hospital Action Group say that in January this year, Ms Skinner advised now-retired MP Don Page in a letter, ‘The Department of Health intends to sell the site with the proceeds used to offset the cost of remediation.’ The group are calling for the land to be used for aged-care facilities, disability housing and for women escaping domestic violence.

A new service is now offering an alternative to the traditional adversarial way of resolving conflict. Byron Conflict Resolution Gateway launched Thursday, and is a team of four professionals with a background in law, mediation, communication, accountancy and counselling. ‘We want to empower an individual that may be going through a time of conflict,’

says conflict transformation facilitator, Efrat Wolfson. Cafe Lawyer Greg Owens adds, ‘It’s about moving away from a victim mentality – as a victim we are focussed on the other person.’ The group includes Efrat Wolfson, forensic accountant Adam Todd, cafe lawyer Greg Owens and family law specialist Bruce Dulley.

site by the fishermen’s co-op, which itself had hoped to redevelop the building and harbour site in a similar way. The co-op had the property on the market for years, but the state government is currently developing a master plan for the marina surrounding the freehold co-op site which made the sale of the site a more attractive proposition for developers. It also had the effect of stalling the co-op’s own plans. The company buying the two properties, Whistle Funds Management, gave a sneak preview of its plans recently to the Brunswick Heads business chamber. The fish and chips outlet,

which employs 21 locals on a casual basis, is expected to continue trading under the new development plans to cater to the thousands of tourists and locals who go there throughout the year. Co-op chairman Chris Thomson told The Echo he was sad to see the end of an era but was hopeful the redevelopment would be in sympathy with what locals wanted on the prominent marina site. Mr Thomson, one of the co-op’s longest-serving members who joined in the 1970s, said that over the years the local fishing industry had declined due to loss of trawling licences when local marine

reserves were established. At one stage there were 26 prawn trawlers operating out of the harbour but now there is only one.

Family-friendly Mr Thomson said the redevelopment plans were compatible with what the coop would like to see and ‘a big plus’. He said he expected to see a family-friendly facility with a playground and other attractions. ‘I’m sure they’ll maintain the history and nature of the place,’ he said. The co-op has been the town’s biggest employer for around 70 years.

Mining licence bought back CCTV by continued from page 1 on the election commitment to purchase this PEL.’ Ms Bird told The Echo the remaining licences are PEL 16, which covers the Bentley and Casino areas, PEL 13 which covers south west of Bentley and PEL 426, which covers a large area of the Clarence. ‘All eyes should now turn to the remaining licences held by Metgasco. As the premier himself has pointed out on ABC radio, “Metgasco has no social contract to drill in the northern rivers”. ‘…The reality is that it’s

Metgasco’s licence areas that are the real threat. The final stage in delivering a Gasfield Free Northern Rivers is to deal with Metgasco once and for all. With Metgasco’s recent announcement that they plan to undertake seismic acquisition within the month and that they are planning to return to Bentley, the government needs to act urgently to prevent this activity taking place. ‘The communities of Rock Valley, Bentley and surrounds are very ready to take action to protect their land, water and future from invasive gasfields.’

Christmas continued from page 1 results of the 2008 and 2013 Community Safety Audits of the Byron Bay town centre. He said no personal information collected by the CCTV cameras will be disclosed to third parties, ‘unless allowed under the Privacy and Personal Information Protection Act 1998.’ A yearly audit of the system will be undertaken and a CCTV Code of Practice is available on council’s website.

Local News Community energy group approved by Australian Energy Regulator Enova Energy, which aims to be the country’s first regionally-owned and fully green electricity retailer, has been awarded a licence to operate in the northern rivers by the federal government. But the company says it is still short almost half of the capital needed to meet the government’s investment requirements. The company’s management team says it is about halfway to the $3 million

mark the government requires and now that the hurdle of approval is out of the way, it’s confident it can make the leap to full funding. Enova CEO Steve Harris says, ‘Over $300m a year is spent on electricity in the northern rivers region. By buying locally, we can return as much as $80 million a year to the region through profits and operating costs. And we will be earmarking funds to help lower income

E-zone reforms released by govt As we went to press on Tuesday, NSW planning minister Rob Stokes released ‘a range of reforms for environmental zones across the north coast to protect the region’s most environmentally sensitive areas and safeguard farmland.’ Mr Stokes said the long awaited reforms mean local councils, ‘now have the clarity needed to identify the most appropriate zone for environmentally important areas.’ For more information visit www.planning.nsw.gov.au/ environmentalzones.

Brookfarm scoops top environmental award Excellent state-wide environmental initiatives have been recognised, with both a local macadamia producer and Lismore City Council winning prestigious awards last week. Northern rivers macadamia producer Brookfarm won the Premier’s Award for Environmental Excellence in the annual Green Globes

awards, and also took out the Small Business Sustainability category. Founded in 1999 by Pam and Martin Brook, Brookfarm is today Australia’s leading producer of premium quality macadamia products. Lismore City Council won the Local Government Sustainability category and the Regional Sustainabil-

ity Award. The awards were presented at a gala night at the Art Gallery of NSW, with Lismore MP Thomas George praising both winners. ‘Brookfarm has installed 288 solar panels on its bakehouse, saved 160 kilolitres of water a year through rainwater recycling and [has] created a tree planting program.’

Local Architect wins the new housing award Sam Zaher from Zaher Architects has won the new housing award from the Institute of Architects – country division for 2015 for the Wategos Residence. The concept of the design was to create a structure that can withstand the harsh marine environment hence the use of concrete, stone and hardwood throughout the whole house inside and out. The beautiful use of timber creates a warm internal ambience while the sandstone walls relate directly to the stoney headlands. Good architecture has always been about bold clients as much as the architect’s skills.

At Zaher Architects we view each project as a unique creative challenge. Each project, is individually crafted to respond to client brief and site context.

Local News

The ever changing landscape of news gathering David Lovejoy

If you’ll excuse the navel-gazing, I would like to look at the direction of news organisations in our area. Don’t worry, The Echo is not changing its bias. We will continue to support renewable energy and a decentralised economy, and we will continue to campaign against projects designed to make a quick buck without thought for the environment or the wishes of local residents. It is not philosophy but finances we need to examine here. The Echo has gone through a generational change and emerged leaner than it used to be, but stronger than ever. Local newspapers have survived the competition of radio and television advertising and they will survive social media. Clients who use both forms of promotion admit that a picture in The Echo is worth a thousand likes. Your local newspaper is a niche publication, based on unique factors of community and distribution, and that is the one form of print publishing that resists the universal trend towards digital platforms. Nevertheless, the future of information access lies in mobile devices connected

to the internet, which is why we run a continuously updated website, Echonetdaily. How do we make that work? To cover our catchment area the newspaper and website together employ six journalists. They multi-task of course – although not as much as the journalists of some publishing giants who are now forced to perform as photographers, subeditors and layout artists, as well as writers.

Keeping Echo free The income needed to run Echonetdaily derives from advertising, just as it does with the newspaper. We looked at installing a paywall, to try to extract revenue from readers, but decided against it. Most of the major publishers are trying to protect their content with some variant of the paywall, but it is a losing battle. Whether the mechanism activates after a particular number of articles have been accessed from the same device, or whether it prevents specific items from being read without subscribing, there are simple strategies available to evade payment, which we couldn’t possibly tell you about here. However, anyone can google ‘paywall

ing our advertising model. It keeps content free for our readers and provides an effective means of promotion for our clients. But here again, the pressure of the internet’s tendency to freedom (whatever George Brandis thinks) works against this model as well. Greedy publishers have allowed unscrupulous advertising on their sites such as misleading links disguised as content on the website, often linking to spam websites seeking to distribute malware or other unsavoury products. Some publishers litter their sites with infuriating pop-ups and other gimmicks, making the process of reading the content a tedious chore. Unfortunately such dodgy behaviour is widespread, leading to some animosity against online advertising in

bypass’ if they feel like it. Rupert Murdoch, who has become a major shareholder in APN, the corporation that owns local papers like the Northern Star, Byron Shire News, Ballina Advocate and Northern Rivers Echo, has put his faith in the paywall model, and all the princelings and chieftains in his dark empire are doing the same.

Murdoch’s lost billions in IT It might seem unwise to disagree with so successful a figure, but in fact Murdoch is notorious for bad calls on technology. He has lost billions in social media (Myspace), education in the USA (Amplify) and digital news in New York (The Daily). Therefore, we are keep-

Group vows to bring down Rock Valley residents fluoridation industry rally against Metgasco The Fluoride Free Northern Rivers group is vowing to bring down the entire Australian fluoridation industry with an upcoming Federal Court challenge.

Ad-blockers In this context we would like to ask the very small minority of our readers who operate ad-blockers to forgo their use on our pages (News Corp and its subsidiaries are fair game), and let our advertisers speak to them unhindered. They are locals who are promoting their businesses through local media, and they are not in your face with their messages. And if you visit our site with an ad-blocker inadvertently switched on, we may send you a brief and polite alert. There are other means of revenue that we may be trying

out over the coming months.

Native advertising One is so-called ‘native advertising’ where a sponsored article might appear in the format of our normal editorial page. Such articles would always be clearly labelled as such, and would always be material we consider intrinsically interesting. In other words, although an advertiser might have paid for the space it would adhere to our editorial standards, and standpoints (we would never run native advertising containing views opposed to our philosophy – if you want to write crazy stuff it will be framed as an ad!). On June 10 next year The Echo will reach a milestone: serving the Byron Shire for thirty years. As we stuck scraps of type and film together with cow gum for the first edition, Nicholas Shand and I had no idea how news would look three decades on. The form inevitably changes, but the spirit is hopefully still making a nuisance of itself. Q David

A small number of people have taken the trouble to install them.

Malcolm’s money – like he says, it’s all legit, and so are casinos Phillip Frazer

I caught up with the Marks Brothers in San Francisco last week and they asked me how the Australian people have reacted to our new PM. These three Marks are old friends of mine who’ve all written books on American politics and environment – and they’re all called Mark, last names Schapiro, Hertsgaard, and Dowie. First of all, I told them, you can’t imagine how wonderful it is to be done with the denialist-of-everything Tony Abbott. It’s like you invited a grumpy uncle to tea and then found him nailing 2x4s over the windows, piling sweat-soaked Speedos on the kitchen table for the little lady to wash, and offering 50 lashes to anyone who dared to argue. Even so, I told the Marks, while Malcolm Turnbull is lots of things Abbott is not – urbane, intelligent, well-briefed (don’t go there), human – he shares with Abbott and most of our politicians a fundamental delusion about business. Namely that it is where money comes from and therefore it’s what makes life liveable.

Turnbull’s $180m Now I’m back in Coorabell, and Labor is hammering Turnbull for having $180 million dollars. Mostly it’s invested in hedge funds registered in taxhavens, and includes over a million $US in the Bowery Opportunity fund, an outfit that inspired the term ‘vulture capitalism’. Bowery searches out bankrupt firms and buys whatever’s owed to the bellyup company for a few cents

Vulture capitalism image from www.prwatch.org

Where’s Malcolm’s money? Property: With wife, Lucy, he owns $80 million worth of real estate, including their Point Piper mansion, a Manhattan apartment, a Paddington terrace, a Canberra apartment, a Potts Point commercial property and farms in Hunter Valley. Investments: They own shares and bonds in the US and Lucy’s Australian company Prima Biomed, and have cash deposits with global banks, including Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Citibank and the top five Aussies.

Malcolm beat back Labor’s attack-pups by saying, ‘Sure I’ve made loads of money, so what?’ He even had the smarts to add a high five to real working people too: ‘There are taxi drivers [and] cleaners that work harder than I ever have and they don’t have much money,’ he told parliament. Labor’s attack focused on the fact that he has bought into eight funds registered in the Cayman Islands, just off the southern coast of Cuba, where thousands of companies are registered because the islands

Lighthouse turns pink for breast cancer The Lighthouse will turn pink for two nights, Friday 23 and Saturday 24 October, to acknowledge loved ones past and present affected by breast cancer. Sarah Sigley, the new facilitator and co-ordinator of Byron Breast Cancer Support Group (BBCSG), will be at the pink table, adjacent to the Lighthouse, from 5–7pm. She says, ‘Come and say hello and feel free to write a

message for a loved one.’ ‘The following day, Saturday October 24, is Byron Breast Cancer Awareness Day. BBCSG will have a “mini field of women” at the lighthouse from 10–2pm. ‘Come and write a message for a loved one which will be placed on a pink silhouette in the mini field of women.’ For more, contact Sarah on 0458 791 971 or 6684 5419.

charge no corporate taxes. The Caymans are a British territory with roughly the same area and population as Wagga Wagga. It sounds shonky, and it is, but it’s not illegal and Turnbull says he’s taken most of his investments out of Australian companies so decisions made by his government aren’t likely to make him richer.

Shared delusion So far, the mainstream media, including the slightly Labor-friendly Fairfax press and The Guardian, have bought this story holus bolus, including using Turnbull’s

own derogations of Labor’s ‘smear’, which is about ‘envy’. But Labor’s attack failed because they won’t go to the heart of the matter – they share with Turnbull that fundamental delusion about business. What Turnbull’s investments really tell us is that he’s a 100 per cent believer in the business of making money by moving money around the table. That’s betting on this stock’s future, hedging against this trend, shaving a percentage of a point here to leverage a trade in Mongolian shale oil or Latvian chocolates. Turnbull’s portfolio – and wealth – are a result of bets made at the Great Wall Street Casino. And presently the dice are loaded more than ever. We learned in the GFC just seven years ago that they’re ultimately playing with our tax money. Turnbull’s government will place the bets for Australia, and since he describes the transnational corporatist’s wet-dream called the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) as ‘a gigantic foundation stone for our future prosperity’, we can expect him to commit us to everything on the menu at the Wall Street Casino. He’ll do this with the same misplaced faith that allowed him to invest in Bowery, the quintessential vulture capital fund. And then, come the next GFC, we-the-people will be screwed again and Malcolm and the banksters of the world will be all eyebrows and palms up, asking ‘who could see that coming?’ Q Phillip Frazer writes about

councils ‘Fit For Future’ has been announced by a neighbouring shire council. Richmond Valley Council’s (RVC) media spokesperson put out a brief release on Tuesday afternoon claiming that RVC ‘are one of just 32 non metro councils, and 52 out of 152 state-wide, to be declared Fit For Future.

Byron firefighters needed Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) is now recruiting retained (on call) firefighters to be on call from home or work to respond to fires and other emergencies at Byron Bay Fire Station. Superintendent Greg Lewis is urging Byron Bay residents to consider becoming a retained firefighter. ‘If you enjoy being part of a team, are physically fit, and want to give something back to your community, then contact us and find out how to become a retained firefighter,’ superintendent Lewis said. ‘The majority of retained firefighters have other jobs and community minded employers are usually supportive for them to leave work to attend call outs. ‘The roles of firefighters

are varied, interesting and rewarding one. Firefighters no only fight fires and respond to a wide range of emergencies, they also educate school children, seniors, business people and the wider community about fire safety. Superintendent Lewis says retained firefighters are on call, ‘however this does not mean that you have to be available every minute of every day. Sharing availability with other retained firefighters can reduce potential impact on work and private life.’ For being on call, pay is fortnightly, and there’s an hourly rate for attending incidents, training sessions and other activities.

Withstanding union inquiry perceptions

Volume 30 #19

October 21, 2015

Human rights at risk Human Rights Commission president Professor Gillian Triggs, a person much to be admired, apparently reckons Australia has a ‘very fine legacy’ on human rights. Compared to Saudia Arabia’s, probably yes, but our treatment of Indigenous Australians over the last 200 years has not been very fine. It continues to be dodgy to this day, with ridiculously high levels of incarceration of Indigenous youth and with the West Australian government’s efforts to move Aboriginal people out of their communities, supported by a recent prime minister with his insensitive, not to mention stupid, ‘lifestyle choices’ comment. The forced removal program is being resisted by sosblakaustralia.com with a call to action scheduled for November 27. The movement’s website states, ‘The cost of closing remote communities is greater than tackling issues, so instead let’s tackle the issues’, an approach, it seems, the Barnett government cares not to bother with. Prof Triggs would not have had the Indigenous community at mind when making her remark. She was answering questions in regard to Australia’s quest for a seat on the UN Human Rights Council. That council is something of a sick joke as Saudi Arabia is to be its chair while busy planning to behead a young protester, Ali Al-Nimr, for offences allegedly committed when he was 17 – see Amnesty’s report: http://bit.ly/Al-NimrAm. So no contest there as to which nation looks better, but Triggs was speaking at the tail end of comments about Abyan, the codename of a Somali woman allegedly raped on Nauru and flown to Australia for treatment. Instead she was whisked away in unseemly haste, back to Nauru on an RAAF plane before her lawyer and a doctor could properly counsel her. Prof Triggs told the ABC, ‘It’s extraordinary that she was expected to reach a decision in such a short space of time and when the answer wasn’t given immediately she’s literally airlifted back to Nauru.’ Nauru and Manus Island detention centres are vales of tears and are not civilised solutions to Australia’s refugee ’problem’. We are creating the human rights nightmares from which the refugees fled in the first place. In addition, we are creating nightmares in a stifling atmosphere of secrecy, in which Australian citizens are given insufficient information to make decisions on the worth of their government’s policies and actions. We are breeding nightmare conditions in which the secret police can flourish and teenagers can be held under ‘control orders’ without charges being laid because, allegedly, they are a special brand of criminal. Within this type of nightmare all our human rights are at risk. Prof Triggs herself was the target of a toxic attack by members of the government, especially the then attorney-general George Brandis, for daring to suggest our treatment of asylum seekers could be better, which is part of her job. As the much-quoted philosopher Edmund Burke (1729 – 1797) pointed out ‘The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men [and women] to do nothing.’ The wrong sort of politician relies on this, and prospers.

he grim reality of the polling only confirms that it is time, time and a half, perhaps even double time for Bill Shorten to decide just what he is to do about Dyson Heydon’s Royal Commission into the unions and in particular his own involvement. Shorten’s first reaction was to dismiss the whole thing as a political stunt, a witch-hunt devised by Tony Abbott, and he had a point. There was and is little doubt that the primary aim of the inquiry was to damn at least some of the trades unions, and by extension the whole movement and, as the ultimate target, the Labor Party and its leaders. It focussed early on Julia Gillard, and later on Shorten himself. And of course, another commission had called in Kevin Rudd. The evidence of payback and spite was obvious. And then, Heydon’s acceptance of a Liberal Party function that turned out to be a fundraiser brought up the issue of bias, even cronyism. The fact that Heydon exonerated himself did not exactly clear the air. The ALP’s hope was not that the exercise would be shut down – neither Heydon nor Abbott was ever going to take that option – but that it would be seen as so discredited, so politically smelly that it could be effectively discounted. With a lot of help from its boosters, especially from the Murdoch press, the commission has pressed on, and has revived and expanded the revelations of examples of standover tactics, bullying and outright thuggery within one union in particular – the CFMEU. And it has moved on to the AWU with witnesses talking of kickbacks, sham invoices and, of course,

the AWU’s former boss, Bill Shorten. Now, as aficionados will realise, these are totally separate concerns. The CFMEU is a left-wing, militant union with a long history of allegations of seriously bad behaviour. It has been very successful, both industrially and financially, but it has always had a reputation for skirting as close to the rules as possible and sometimes going over the line. It has been very easy to portray the CFMEU as the bad guys – almost criminals, in fact. But the AWU is totally different; a middle-of-the-road union willing, often eager to negotiate with the employers at times to the point of collusion.

power and influence, but has never seriously been accused of corruption; the worst that has been claimed is that the employers paid for a worker during his election campaign. Personally he is clean, just as Malcolm Turnbull is, when it comes to his tax matters. But this does not solve the problem: it is all about perception. Just as Turnbull cannot avoid the taint of being involved in tax havens, Shorten cannot shrug off the feeling that there has to be something pretty suss about backroom union deals. The punters, especially the more than 80 per cent who are not members of unions, do not see the distinctions between

Shorten cannot shrug off the feeling that there has to be something pretty suss about backroom union deals. by Mungo MacCallum In Shorten’s time at the top, the union was concerned not with confrontation but with outcomes: looking for what is usually called win-win situations to satisfy both the workers and their bosses. And of course the AWU itself prospered under the regime. Abbott once disparaged the union as ‘a business model’, a somewhat bizarre insult from the man who boasted that his government was open for business. And indeed, there was and is a corporate side to the AWU, a structure to grow the organisation as well as providing dividends for its stakeholders, whether those within its own ranks or among the rank and file. Shorten himself gained great

The Book Of Unspeakable Horrors ;PWZ\ _MQZL Å K\QWV[ Ja 5QKPIMT 5K,WVITL NZMM ZMILQVO I\" \PMJWWSWN]V[XMISIJTMPWZZWZ[ KWU

the CFMEU and the AWU; to them, all unions are pretty much the same. And if the shit is hitting the fan, and Shorten is in the witness box (or the dock, as they perceive it) that is enough to find him guilty. Shorten’s defence has been detailed and convincing; he has, as he has repeatedly said, answered some 900 questions, and no-one has actually suggested that he has done anything that is not entirely within the law. But that doesn’t matter; the voters are not reading the transcripts but the headlines. What they remember is that Heydon once warned Shorten: ‘I am concerned about your credibility as a witness.’ Gratuitous and uncalled-for perhaps, but devastating nonetheless. And it will be in this at-

mosphere that the new stories about Shorten will be assessed, whether or not he is actually recalled before Heydon. At least Abbott is not still there to hurl his hate-crazed rhetoric across the despatch box of parliament; Turnbull will be both more measured and circumspect. But his attack dogs may not be so forbearing, and the Murdoch press will be relentless and ruthless. Not only does the ageing mogul dislike Labor and all its works; once, many many years ago, he had a nasty experience with the unions of Britain, and it has scarred him for life. Shorten can expect no respite, no even playing field. So he will have to prepare for the worst, and railing about Turnbull’s tax arrangements is not the way to do it. As Turnbull happily admits he has a lot of money, so what? Shorten has a tougher job: he has a lot of union-based baggage, and even if he wanted to shed it (which he doesn’t, and nor should he) he has to convince a sceptical electorate that it should be no impediment to him becoming prime minister. He and his advisers may already be planning for the inevitable onslaught to come. There isn’t much he can do about a hostile media, but he must at least hope that Dyson Heydon, whom he has been attacking as biased and unfit for his role, will maintain the lofty judicial disdain he has shown to date and give him a fair hearing. If the judgments fall against him, the verdict will be far more devastating than a mere finding of the Commission. And throwing himself on the mercy of the voters is not likely to bring a reprieve.

Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained… Q Jo Faith has raised the point

of the health dangers from the diesel train that Elements is intending to run from their resort to Byron town. On October 8, The Australian published a comment from Elements development director Jeremy Holmes which I could only describe as a cynical attitude towards the citizens of Byron Bay. His quote, ‘getting approval for such a project from a community notoriously slow to accept anything remotely progressive had been a challenge,’ flies in the face of this community that is progressive in protesting about the dirty outmoded diesel engine that Elements wants. The Australian article also states, ‘While the push for the train service was first motivated by a “selfish” desire to ensure guests seeking out luxury accommodation were not forced to endure 40-minute traffic de-

Woolies shrubbery A follow-up to my letter last week: I have talked to some of the people who handle the problems that Woolies in Mullumbimby may have with the public. They thought that a fortnightly trim of the plants would be okay but the type of plants that are there actually get bushier and can’t be cut down low enough for a driver exiting the car park to see a 4- or 5-year-old playfully running away from mum. There is a 1800 103 515 num-

lays, the resort is offering the service to the general public.’ Well, thanks a lot, Elements, for publicly explaining why you really want this train! Lee Cass Byron Bay Q The

train will be running on three and a half litres of diesel for the round trip from Bayshore Drive to town and back. To transport 100 passengers this is a miniscule amount, and as it’s such a smooth flat journey they’ll be cruising for part of the time, not using the throttle at all, so it may even use less. The number of cars that will be taken off the road into Byron by people opting to ‘park and ride’ will so vastly override any small amount of petrol that’s used that it’s really a ‘no-brainer’ that this is one of the best things that could ever happen for Byron. I’ve also heard numerous ber to call and the case file number is 8000813014, so that anyone else, be it driver or pedestrian, can voice their concerns. It seems simple enough to remove those plants and put ones in that only grow up to 20 or so centimetres. Let’s hope we don’t have a tragedy before we get the problem fixed. Jay Carney Mullumbimby

Holiday letting The NSW government is concerned about the impacts

stories recently of half hour slow crawls from Ozi-Go to Byron and the new train will alleviate that problem for many. The fact that this is being given to us by a private company that will not benefit from any profits made, being run by a separate not-forprofit company that will just keep reinvesting in it being a better and better service, and ultimately working towards it being run on solar, is a great outcome for everyone. Lydia Kindred Rosebank Q The

current proposed train line to run from the new Elements Resort at Belongil to Byron Bay town seems rather short-sighted. It will only really be servicing the privileged guests of the resort, a few residents of Sunrise Beach and people returning to their homes, tents and holiday apartments in town. of holiday letting and has commenced an inquiry into the issue. Victims of Holiday Letting (VOHL) say that there has been an increase in complaints about illegal, unregulated holiday letting in residential areas. Offensive noise emitted by tenants of holiday lets that disturbs the comfort, rest or sleep of residents and other antisocial behaviour comprise the majority of complaints. I welcome the inquiry into this long-standing problem-

Real stories As a longtime reader of The Echo, I am tired of seeing the same old stories re-run (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Myocum residents take complaint to state govtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;) that serve no benefit to our community. The Myocum residents complaint about their neighbourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Seriously, just because there is a conservative councillor who has a storage business and his neighbours have a serious NIMBY attitude â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this is not a real issue, nor is it a valuable news story. It seems to me like an opportunity to throw â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;mudâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on a conservative councillor. Why canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we be reading about real issues in this community rather than neighbour disagreements? Like how we can get the NBN here faster?

Usually the first signs of overloading is when the plant starts showing high ammonia levels and emits obnoxious odours, ie from biosolids. Mr Hollowayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s statement runs the high risk of being misleading unless process monitoring results are supplied on the treatment process at West Byron STP from inflow through to outflow. This would cover the whole treatment process. This monitoring is different from that

required to simply satisfy EPA licence requirements because the EPA only requires monitoring at an end point. The EPA licence-monitoring point is so far removed from where the actual treatment process takes place that it tells nothing of how the plant is coping hydraulically or organically. Mr Hollowayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position also fails to include the approved West Byron development and the impact that will have on West Byron STP. In the 1990s we had six overloaded STPs. Now we have four improved models but we the lack information as to how these plants are actually performing. It is totally misleading to argue that EPA monitoring tells how the treatment process is performing. In 2005, BSC was made to form wastewater steering committees to represent our STP catchmentÂ communities. These committees had to be provided with information in order to allow them to evaluate how the plants were performing. They were disbanded by the then BSC director of water and recycling. These committees were meant to be ongoing, so the community has lost the advantage of monitoring the continued from page 10 the power you have as our local paper. Report the real issues.

Types of terrorism

The violence now sweeping Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT) is a direct consequence of Israelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brutal 67-year-old occupation and the failure of the UN and the international community to act decisively in bringing Israel to book for its egregious violations of international law. Radicalised Islamic youth in Australia have alluded not only to our participation in the war on Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan but also to our collusion with Israel. Following the success of the anti-apartheid boycott which brought down the South African government, Palestinian civil society initiated the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign to force Israelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s compliance with international law. BDS is a non-violent form of direct action which empowers people to shun products like Soda Stream which originate in the Israeli OPTs.

performance of these plants. BSC should implement wastewater steering committees again. These committees were meant to ensure plants were always kept in front of load requirements. Alan Dickens Brunswick Heads Q I refer to the lead Echo story

for October 7 concerning the decision to connect the new hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sewerage to the central system rather than construct an onsite disposal system. I am concerned that council staff are reported as saying â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The decision to connect to the sewer line was a Health Department decisionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. This is quite misleading: Clause 45 of the LEP quite unambiguously says that unless â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;satisfactory arrangementsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; have been made with Council for the disposal of sewage, development consent will not be issued. In other words the onus is on the developer to put up a proposal and Council has the final say; it is not a matter of the Health Department saying â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;This is how itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gonna beâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, as the reported staff taff ta ff comment implies. ter I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t write this letter primarily out of concern ffor or iNorway and the US have d diike vested from companies like Caterpillar and Veolia which profit/aid Israelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s occupation. At the cultural and academic level, artists like Roger Waters have refused Israeli invitations and Associate Professor Jake Lynch has been vilified for denying an academic from the Technion university an exchange in his department. All of us have a moral responsibility to stop the bloodshed by supporting BDS and pressuring the Australian government and our media to play fair for Palestine. Gareth W R Smith Palestine Liberation Centre Byron Bay Q There is no clear dividing line between defence and aggression and because the dividing line is blurred there needs to be major discussion of why Australian troops overseas are seen as defenders rather than aggressors. The issue of terrorism has always had the argument that bombing terrorists will cause terrorists to bomb. Why are we always so slow to recognise this? Do we have to stamp â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;violence begets violenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on each Australianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forehead before it is remembered?

what happens to Ewingsdale sewage, but rather as an illustration of a deep-seated knowledge void within Simonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all-smiling council. The problem is that your elected councillors have absolved themselves of all responsibility for legal matters by delegating them to the GM to resolve, meaning that they are quite happy to grope around in the dark and rely on what the staff choose to tell them. Recently the GM issued a press release lauding himself over the legal fees Council had saved over the past year! I suppose Ewingsdale developers will be similarly lauding him if, as Cr Dey clearly suspects, the Health Department installs sufficient spare sewerage capacity at taxpayersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; expense to warrant further private development at Ewingsdale. I note that Ewingsdale developers had sufficient influence with roads authorities to ensure that the new highway is insulated soundwise with a massive earth embankment that must have cost many millions. This is unprecedented d d to my m knowledge anywhe ere in A anywhere Australia. Fast Buck$ Coorabell When When theree is thought of putting troops putt pu ttin tt ingg tr in troo oops oo ps in other countries, there needs to be a search within for our own violence. There are cases in Australia of people demonstrating against the building of mosques. What happened to freedom of religious expression? More than that, if Muslims feel they are being discriminated against in Australia will this cause them anger and radicalise their youth? Does the terrorism we feel we need to fight overseas actually ferment in people who discriminate against Muslims in Australia? Does the creation of a terrorist threat actually start with people who fear Islam? These sorts of questions need to be thrashed out before there is any thought of sending troops overseas. There also needs to be forums for people to discuss their fears of Islam and forums for angry Muslims to explain their anger. Repressed anger is more likely to vent in bombings. I have yet to read a list of Muslim grievances in major daily newspapers. Humans can easily fall into warmongery. Lest we forget. Geoff Dawe Uki

Led Zeppelin band members penned Stairway to Heaven long before they were guests at Rae’s, but if there was ever a restaurant poised to reflect on that song title then The Restaurant at Rae’s is it. Heavenly views span from the glistening waters of Wategos Beach, along coastal walkways and ascend to Byron’s iconic lighthouse. Rae’s coastal-calm décor is now accented by whimsical artwork of butterflies and birds, by artist David Bromley (Archibald Prize finalist). The calming mood is nudged along on Long Lunch Sundays (last Sunday of every month) by the soothing talents of Luke and Sebastian, an acoustic duo who croon and strum the afternoon away. Your muscles melt as soon as you are seated. The seats are warmed by rock legends, Hollywood’s glitterati and well-sandaled Byro-

nati. It was Rae’s cuisine that fuelled a hooded Lenny Kravitz for his lighthouse walks. Perhaps former guest Keith Richards (The Rolling Stones) finally did get some satisfaction undertaking Rae’s spectacular cocktails list, like the explosive Espresso Martini which warrants leisurely sipping. New owners have engaged Steve Tribe as restaurant manager. Steve expertly guides diners through the exclusive wine list and new menu with panache and gentle humour while effortlessly balancing three full wine glasses in one hand. Diners linger over dressedto-impress creations by clever new head chef Guy SkinnerHutchison. Guy’s skills were sharpened in Michelin-starred London restaurant Chapter One. Guy says, ‘The kitchen’s our playground. It’s a place to be innovative. The new owners have given us complete creative freedom with our menu; mod-

1. Scallops with bonito butter poached leek. 2. Dark chocolate, hazelnut dacquoise. 3. Pork belly with perfect crackling. 4. Smokey Bay oysters. (Oyster photo supplied by Rae’s)

ern European with a seafood focus.’ Scallops paired with bonito butter poached leek and crispy enoki mushrooms are an elegant beginning. Alternatively the juicy scallops can be enjoyed as part of the sinful six-course seafood degustation which celebrates local seafood, hot smoked oysters from pristine waters of Smokey Bay and signature dish Moreton Bay bug ravioli with black truffle and creamy cauliflower velouté. Academy Award-winning actors Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz favoured saddle of rabbit recently and Hamish Blake (of Hamish and Andy fame) became an avid fan of

Guy’s sashimi. Many diners can’t resist the handsome pork belly crowned with a crunch of crackle. Skilfully presented dark chocolate hazelnut dacquoise, with vanilla crème brulee and pillows of blood orange sorbet, provides layers of bliss for a fairy-tale finale. Long lunches could easily merge into further escapism at Rae’s opulent day spa, where revitalising treatments and luxurious massages beckon. That’s heavenly.

In my experience when designing a stair, I want that stair to be an inviting, sculptural, poetic and prominent piece of the interior design. As kitchens and other elements of the interior have certain functions to perform they can be more constrained and restrictive in their aesthetic and form, but with stairs you can push the boundaries a bit further and be more adventurous with materials and solutions, stairs could be suspended, hanged, supported from below with two stringers on either side or one in the middle or they could be self-spanning the entire opening with no supports at all.

On the first George record we would it, I am not an engineer so I don’t know how to do it.’ spend one day per song in the studio as a minimum, 12 days This album is different to her last few albums, which tended to tracking, 12 days mixing.

How have you stayed at the top of your game for over two decades? A subtle combination of hard work, dedication and good luck over the years is what has kept ZT functioning well -– I like to renew and innovate as much as possible as well as trying new collaborative efforts as often as time and energy allow. How important is it as an established act in the dub/ dance genre to be engaged with underground and emerging music culture? Absolutely important – new music is the bread that feeds us, energetically and artistically and exposure to new and emergent music remains a great source of positive energy. How has your sound evolved or changed over the years? I am constantly trying new technological setups and new collaborations with other

musicians – this, along with the shifting musical influences that have informed myself and collaborators over the years, keeps the sound fresh. I do not believe in boundaries or borders in music and refuse to be generically pigeonholed and I think this attitude, combined with the desire to improvise heavily, keeps my sound fresh. How important is collaborating, do you think, in creating new and unexpected music? It is of absolute importance – music is a universal language and language is made for the exchange of ideas – without collaboration, exchange is limited. What do you aim to give an audience in a live performance? Positive energy, good vibes, something to dance to and a slice of spiritual ‘upliftment.’

As for the doctors, they need to be doing a whole lot more patient-hugging. And be in the nude. So we can see they have nothing to hide. Hospital is also a great place for hair braiders and tarot readers. It would be a real advantage going into hospital if you knew you were going to be coming out. Or not.

Each year to pay for maintenance and ongoing costs the crew put on one hell of a shindig: FedRocks – a night of music and mayhem, where they show that no-one does a night in the country better than Federal. Why is Federal Hall and the church so important to Federal as a community facility? What happens there? Located in the centre of the village both the hall and the old church are in almost daily use throughout the year by the community. The facilities are available to all members of the community, to not-forprofit events and for commercial hire. The use by commercial users is carefully managed by the venue committee to ensure sufficient community use is available. Activities range from cooking classes, exercise classes, meditation classes, weddings, ping pong evenings, celebrations, film and food functions, musical events, dance events and instruction, pop up restaurants, to private weddings, birthday parties or gatherings of community groups around subjects or activities of community interest. How do you maintain the facility?

THE GOOD PEOPLE OF FEDERAL AND SURROUNDS FOUGHT HARD TO SAVE AND BUY THE CHURCH AND THE H A L L A S PA RT O F T H E I R C O M M U N I T Y F A C I L I T Y.

The facility is managed by an elected and volunteer management committee who look after venue bookings, maintenance and repair and all the many activities that are needed to ensure the buildings and grounds are kept in first class condition for current and future community use. A key role of the committee is to ensure income is sufficient to cover the cost of operating the buildings and grounds. Why do you need to keep raising money for community infrastructure? It costs very close to $20,000 to operate this facility every year, that includes insurance, annual maintenance and repair as well as

Louise Hay could be employed as the triage nurse so she could give everyone the reason they’re sick is because they are somehow deficient. And instead of the ambo, why not use a few backpackers pulling a rickshaw? I mean, the opportunities are endless. With a bit of vision we folk in the Byron shire could be falling down our own wellness. Now that would be totally SICK!

weekly maintenance. In addition major projects keep popping up, such as the recent total refurbishment of the church building, the landscaping or the recent painting of the hall. Shortly we will face the cost of a major sewage upgrade. Our income comes from venue hiring, donations, grants and from specific fundraising activities. Do you get any council support? We receive no funds from the council as we operate as an independent incorporated association. However council and successive mayors are and have always been supportive of our activities and fundraising efforts. What do you think halls offer a community that is different to pubs or clubs or other venues? The key point here is that this is a community facility, built by the community, maintained by the community, used by the community… loved by the community. It operates not-for-profit but for the community… by the community. It is indeed the Heart of Federal. What is going to be special about this year’s fundraiser? Federal loves music and any opportunity to come together, but also there seems to have been a recent wave of new folk into the Federal area, many of whom are getting involved in community. That is bringing lots more fresh energy and people connections which are very special and what makes this a special place to live. This will be the first BIG dance night in the hall that will bring us all together for a boogie… now that is special. Featuring Dan Hannaford & his band at Jaspers Corner – Federal Hall on Saturday November 7.

TAURUS: This week suggests a sexy getaway, restorative retreat or wild nature adventure before practical necessities drive you back into commonsense mode. If discussions get uncomfortable, treat this as a necessary disturbance of the peace: a wake-up call to invest more love, care and artistry into what matters most.

GEMINI: While balancing current energy surges and lapses could be challenging, there’s definite potential for an economic upswing. Though that requires not getting so caught up in fantasy plans you neglect other people’s needs, or overlook tricky details which could trip you up. On-theball, considerate Geminis are this week’s success story.

ARIES: So what if others aren’t saying what they

really mean or truly think? It’s because they’re not able to. Remembering a) that everyone’s doing their best, b) we all inevitably fall short, and c) people don’t usually improve by being criticised, will make reaching agreement easier and this week more enjoyable.

CANCER: If personal circumstances or other people’s quirks have you feeling miffed or piqued, philosopher Voltaire reckons the most important decision you can make is to be in a good mood. So don’t excommunicate yourself from this week’s promising possibilities – especially when the social grapevine’s fizzing with such interesting information.

SAGITTARIUS: This week flashes lively invites to your joie de vivre, but not at the cost of following up business leads, being patient with crossed wires and tactful with family wrangles. Saturn sets a test of renunciation – not of something you enjoy, but some habit that keeps you from enjoying more…

CAPRICORN: Be vigilant about details this week because tiny flies in the ointment of existence could cause annoyance out of all proportion to their size. Good news is the planetary trio of Mars/Venus/Jupiter in a fellow earth sign opening up a supermarket of bold and beautiful new opportunities for Capricorns.

LEO: Party lights burn bright this week, which buzzes with energetic entertainment, vivacious conversation, job offers, possibly even a financial windfall. Though you’d be wise to dial back dramatics in the throne room; some degree of mind-changing’s indicated, and you don’t want your large-hearted self taken advantage of.

VIRGO: With a mood boosting Mars/Venus/Jupiter triad polishing your confidence, dynamic expansion is the new normal in Virgoworld. As your cosmic cup runneth over, consider the biblical parable (Matthew: Chapter 25) of the righteous virgins saying: Go ye and buy your own oil… Take care to share this week. LIBRA: As we celebrate the year’s final Libran birthdays, kaleidoscopic changes of pace, plans, dates, locations, arrangements and guest lists are on the menu, with reading between lines of communication a prime requirement. Don’t expect commitment this week, which is much better for considering what you want to commit to.

SCORPIO: This week’s planetary percolations are sending you strong messages to enjoy some leisure and explore some pleasure. And not take it too personally if others aren’t interested in your plans and ideas around end of week’s extra-sensitive moon. Maintaining loving relationships sometimes requires sacrificing our own preferences.

tin shed in Bangladesh watching women do their banking. The fact that it is women is a key part of the story. I have become obsessed with the gender politics in development, generally it’s a total cliche, but if you want to make an impact anywhere in the world – focus on the women, educate, empower and give them opportunity. It’s a no-brainer. Up until a generation ago women in Bangladesh still lived in Purdah and couldn’t leave the home. The great achievement of Grameen was to get these women out of their houses into these centre banking houses – which were tin sheds in the centre of the village.’

THE MAN WHO LOVED A BANK

At the time of his trip to Bangladesh, Swivel was a lawyer helping credit unions try and find a meaningful alternative to the big banks. As the director of a credit union he was keen to implement these strategies into the western suburbs of Sydney.

Unfortunately, that didn’t end up happening. ‘My colleagues at the credit union basically thought microfinance was too difficult and too risky.

The reality of the world is more complex, there is so much more we should be learning, at the risk of being preachy the core idea is how do you learn from the so-called poor, that is what the show is actually about.’

For six years Freedom Summit has been empowering the public through education.

As king-pin of South Boston in the ’seventies and ’eighties, he engaged in a turf war with the Mafia during which his psychopathic panache was unleashed with brutal and bloody consequences. But Scott Cooper’s movie is more than a mere recounting of those violent times – it is also a harsh study of how blind loyalty and masculine reverence can make a mockery of the law as it corrupts those to whom tribalism is paramount. Approached by Agent John Connolly, a schoolyard buddy from the old Irish Catholic neighbourhood, Bulger warily agrees to work as an informant for the FBI so that his gang might counter the incursions of the Mob from the other side of town. It’s a match made in hell that results in Australia’s Joel Edgerton and Johnny Depp going flat chat to outdo each other in monstering the screen with eccentric, at times bizarre performances – as Bulger, Depp wins a points decision thanks to his zombie eyes and Count Yorga hairline. Their indulgences appear to have been contagious, for Kevin Bacon and Peter Sarsgaard also go for the jugular as Edgerton’s boss at headquarters and a whacked out junkie respectively. Only Benedict Cumberbatch, sober and calculating but tending to an unflattering chubbiness around his homecounties’ face, keeps a lid on it as Billy, Bulger’s under-investigated brother and Massachusetts senator. Cooper too slavishly opts for the soft option by allowing his movie to follow the standard progression of double-cross, revenge, murder etc., but he has a keen sense of how to build tension and a praiseworthy inclination to not make a hero of his protagonist (as Tarantino might). A lot of blokes get shot in the head and, not unexpectedly, there is an unending blitz of foul-mouthed language, but to tell the truth, I enjoyed it heaps and was fascinated by the closing explanatory notes.

Reviews BY JOHN CAMPBELL

THE WALK

In 1974, Philippe Petit and a small group of fellow conspirators strung a wire between the newly completed towers of the World Trade Center and, to the consternation of New Yorkers below, the French performance artist walked crossed the chasm between them. There is a unique pleasure in being invited to partake in a successful, not strictly legal caper and Robert Zemeckis was probably mining this common craving for inclusiveness by having Petit talk directly to us throughout this gripping and at times head-spinning movie. Petit is standing atop the Statue of Liberty, from which vantage point we have an uninterrupted view of the glistening twin peaks. The device of joining him in his lofty sanctuary is at first disarming, for Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s performance is less than subtle and at times pushy - possibly because he was too focused on what comes across as a very dodgy French accent. But as the event unfolds, with Petit filling us in on his background as a magician and busker on the streets of Paris, we become more tightly knitted into the planning and the execution of the deed. Illuminating flashbacks include Ben Kingsley hamming it up as Papa Rudy, the circus legend who was Petit’s mentor, and the occasions on which he met his closest allies – Annie (an insipid Charlotte Le Bon) and the photographer Jean-Louis (Clément Sibony), but they are scenes that feel cartoonish when contrasted with the momentum of Petit’s ‘coup’. However, for all of Petit’s bravado and obsessiveness, slowly but overwhelmingly the centre of attention turns on the buildings themselves. Their recreation is a brilliant piece of CGI and Dariusz Wolski’s cinematography escorts us through their loading docks, foyers, lift-wells and up to the breathtaking top floor in what is a visual eulogy for lost grandeur. Zemeckis has apparently taken some liberties with the facts in his telling of the story, but to carp about them is to lose sight of what was an extraordinary feat. As we grow increasingly blasé about others’ achievements, Zemeckis’s film lauds heroic individualism.

Hard to swallow: how climate change is affecting Australian food

CAWI (Companion Animals Welfare Inc.) is looking for a volunteer person to join the team in the Dog Adoptions and Foster Care Department. If you’re responsible, have your own transport, are good with dogs and talking to people, then contact us NOW!

The price, quality and seasonality of Australia’s food is increasingly being affected by climate change with Australia’s future food security under threat, a ground-breaking report by the Climate Council has revealed. Australia’s food supply chain is highly exposed to disruption from increasing extreme weather events driven by climate change with farmers already struggling to cope with more frequent and intense droughts and changing weather patterns, the Feeding a Hungry Nation: Climate Change, Food and Farming in Australia report found. The Climate Council’s Professor Lesley Hughes said Australia’s agricultural competitiveness in many agricultural markets will be challenged by the warming climate and changing weather patterns.

Vulnerable ‘Australia is one of the most vulnerable developed countries in the world to climate change impacts,’ she said. ‘This is already posing very significant challenges to food production. Food prices will continue to go up, the quality of food could be compromised and the seasonality of food could change as the climate continues to warm and weather patterns become more unpredictable. ‘Many of our favourite foods, including milk, fruit, vegetables, wine and beef are already being affected by climate change and these impacts will grow as weather extremes get worse.’ The report also found: • Climate change impacts are already being observed in many of Australia’s favourite foods, including rice, lamb, milk, beef, stone fruits and wine grapes.

• Climate change is projected to worsen drought conditions with severe implications for farmers and food prices. • Climate change is affecting the quality and seasonal availability of many foods in Australia. Up to 70 per cent of Australia’s wine-growing regions with a Mediterranean climate (including iconic locations such as the Barossa Valley and Margaret River) are becoming less suitable for grape growing with higher temperatures causing earlier ripening and reduced grape quality. • More frequent and intense heatwaves are already affecting food prices in Australia. Food prices during the 2005–2007 drought increased at twice the rate of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) with fresh fruit and vegetables the worst hit, increasing 43 per cent and 33 per cent respectively. Cyclone Larry destroyed 90 per cent of the North Queensland banana crop in 2006, affecting supply for nine months and increasing prices by 500 per cent.

Heatwaves ‘All animals struggle during heatwaves and dairy cows are particularly vulnerable. It’s not unusual for their milk production to drop overnight by up to 40 per cent,’ Illawarra dairy farmer Lynne Strong said. ‘We’ve taken lots of small steps on our farm, including putting in thousands of shade trees and installing sprinklers in the dairy, to protect the cows during these extreme weather events. However, if they continue to increase the only option for many dairy farmers will be to house their cows in air-conditioned sheds. If this happens, milk may become a luxury item.

‘Farmers can play a really important role in delivering climate change solutions through producing their own renewable energy and implementing sustainable farming systems that increase carbon storage in vegetation and soils. ‘But we can’t fight climate change alone. We need to be backed by greater action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions if we’re to protect both the livelihood of farmers and the integrity of Australia’s food supply.’ Professor Tim Flannery said there was no room for complacency in planning for our future food security. ‘Large parts of Australia are currently in drought, including a record 80 per cent of Queensland,’ he said.

Real impact ‘We are watching the realities of a warming world unfold before our eyes and the impacts on everyday Australian households as food prices and food availability become more volatile and affect the economies and social fabric of those communities that rely on agricultural production. ‘Australian farmers have demonstrated great resilience in the face of harsh physical and social challenges. But if the present rate of climate change continues, there will be many challenges to which adaptation is simply not possible. ‘We must urgently transition to a new low carbon economy if we are to adequately safeguard our food supply.’ * The Climate Council is an independent, crowd-funded organisation providing information on climate change to the Australian public.

Getting together with Men of League Eve Jeffery

Now that the league season is over, it’s time to reminisce what did and didn’t happen and what went wrong and what went right and what better way to talk about a great season of football than with all the old blokes… This weekend the Lismore City Bowling Club will host the inaugural Combined Rugby Leagues Club Get Together. Past and present players, coaches, referees, linesmen, spectators and anyone who has a love or connection with the game from the Gold Coast to Grafton, is welcome to join members of the Men of League for a great afternoon chin wag. Organiser Bob Collins says he is a second generation league lover who was a Lismore coach in the 70s and 80s. ‘I have great memories from my involvement with rugby league’, says Bob. ‘This is a unique event. Never before on the north coast has their been a gathering of so many clubs in one place. Lismore used to have three teams, now there is only the Marist

Ex coach Bob Collins holds up a patch which belonged to his dad Mick who coached East Lismore in 1951 to win the Minor and Major Premierships as well as the ANZAC, Staunton and Wallaroo Cups for that year. This and other memorabilia will be on display on Sunday at the Lismore Bowlo. Photo Tree Faerie. Photo Tree Faerie.

Brothers. We might come from far and wide but on the day we will all be one in our love for the game.’ Bob says this is an event for all generations and he hopes people will bring along

their memorabilia. He also hopes that there will be a special guest league legend speaking on the day. ‘I thought it would be a lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon post-season, for old friends to

catch up and say hello.’ The Combined Rugby Leagues Club Get Together will be held at the Lismore Bowlo this Sunday from 1pm. For more information phone Bob on 6622 7541.

Close finals for surfers on Sunshine Coast After day one of competition, Coolum Beach again continued to provide competitors with its trademark A-frame beach break peaks offering favourable conditions for finals day of the Subway Surf Series on the Sunshine Coast. In a stellar performance, Taj Watson (Sandy Beach, NSW) reigned supreme over fellow 18 and under finalists Kyuss King (Byron Bay, NSW), Liam Kelly (Wooloowin, QLD) and Connor Lyons (Castaways Beach, QLD) who finished second, third and fourth respectively in what was the final heat of the day. Taj opened with a midrange 6.83 scoring wave (out of a possible 10) before unleashing an impressive array of maneuvers on his second last wave of the 20 minute heat to secure a near perfect 9.17 (out of a possible 10), finishing with a 17.50 heat total (out of a possible 20) in the blue ribbon final. With the benchmark set high for the 18 and under girls from the opening heats of round one, competition proved to be fierce right through to the final sound of the siren. In the end it was Gold Coast’s Ren Hashimoto who proved too good against

Kyuss King during the Sunshine Coast finals on Sunday. Photos Cory Roberts/ Surfing Queensland.

fierce competition and in doing so defeated Sasha Baker (Mudjimba, QLD), Zahli Kelly (Wooloowin, QLD) and Phoebe King (Mudjimba, QLD). In the last 30 seconds of her heat, Ren required a midrange score before taking off on a rogue set and put on a remarkable display of rail-torail surfing to secure herself an 8.00 point ride (out of a possible 10) to move from second into first place.

Bruns Masters at Cooly Gold Having trained hard for months in preparation, the Brunswick SLSC Master Blasters who were the defending champions of the short course masters 35 plus event, travelled north to the recent Coolangatta Gold Carnival to give it their best shot. Phil Parker was on the ski for the first leg of 14km from Coolangatta beach to Miami beach. He tagged runner Grant Carey who raced south to Burleigh Heads. Dave Kyle-Robinson then swam a

loop course of 2.5km keenly watched by Bob Kilpatrick, our safety guide on his paddle board. Dave bodysurfed home to tag Paul Davis for his 6km board paddle through the surf into Currumbin. Now in fourth place, Paul paddled up to second to tag Grant for the final 7km run back to Coolangatta, finishing in a creditable third place and were awarded the bronze medal at the 2015 Coolangatta Gold.

The time to get active is now Minister for Health Sussan Ley is pleading with Australian women to put their health first and get active to ensure they – and their families – live more healthy, happy and productive lives. Ms Ley’s call to action came on Tuesday October 20, World Osteoporosis Day, with over a million Australians – mainly women – suffering from the debilitating brittle bone condition, despite a key way to reduce its onset and manage symptoms being regular physical activity. In order to inspire action, Ms Ley today launched the government No Time For Never campaign aimed at getting Australians of all ages, not just children, to take up organised sporting activities as part of its broader national sports participation strategy Play.Sport.Australia, which was launched earlier this year. Ms Ley said she was worried that the increasingly longwork hours, hectic family schedules and sedentary lifestyles of Australian women were literally killing us and the time for ‘I’ll get around to it’ had passed. ‘It’s a reality that Australian women continue to be the dominant force in managing Australian households and caring for family members and friends and many of us are guilty of putting the health, wellbeing and needs of others ahead of our own’, said Ms Ley. ‘This is clear on World Osteoporosis Day, where too many women are being diagnosed in cases that could have been avoided with greater physical activity, particularly organised sport, in their earlier years. ‘I well remember as a working mother with three kids, it can be really difficult to find the time when you’re having to run the kids around, run the family, run the household and then on top of that to go for a run yourself and I’m the first to admit I’ve been guilty of putting my health last. ‘But whether you’re a wife, mother, grandmother, sister, daughter, aunty, niece, carer or friend – it doesn’t matter – there’s no excuse; we must start putting our health first and I’m here to support you. ‘That’s why to kick things off I’m committing to doing weight bearing physical activity three times a week to improve bone strength and also walking, instead of driving, wherever I can.’ Ms Ley said the No Time For Never campaign, de-

veloped by the Australian Sports Commission, aimed to provide inspiration and practical advice to Australians of all ages on how best to reengage with sport and physical activities they were involved with in their youth or to even try new ones, by showing real life examples of people already doing it. Recent statistics show only 13 per cent of women over 35 participate in organised sport – compared to 26 per cent of men that participate at the same age. ‘If you’re a mother, or grandmother, for example whose standing on the sidelines after school watching the kids play sport, why don’t you consider organising a social team or league of your own. It’s a great way to maximise your time and physical activity all in one. ‘Or it may be as simple as joining a local swimming class or set up a regular social bowls or netball tournament. The key is you’re more likely to stick with it if it’s organised and structured. ‘There’s no time for never when it comes to your health and being active.’ Dr Bernie Towler, Principal Medical Adviser for Population Health and Sport in the Department of Health, said research shows that physically active girls have a 17 per cent greater bone mineral content than their inactive peers. ‘The best activities for girls to do are ball games, dance, resistance training and jumping’, said Dr Towler. ‘This is the way to get the best increases in bone mineral accumulation. ‘Women of all ages should continue aerobic and strength/resistance activities to minimise bone loss and osteoporosis. Exercise training programs can prevent or reverse almost one per cent of bone loss per year in both pre- and post-menopausal women. ‘The evidence shows that the before and during puberty is an ideal period to increase peak bone mineral density and to maintain bone health and substantially delay the onset of osteoporosis and decrease risk of fractures later in life.” The cost of physical inactivity to the Australian economy was $13.8 billion per year including a direct healthcare cost of $720 million, lost productivity costing $9.3 billion and premature mortality $3.8 billion.

CHESS

by Ian Rogers Play at Byron Services Club, Mon 7pm World Champion Magnus Carlsen not only surrendered his World Blitz Championship title in Berlin last week, he showed some of the worst behaviour seen by a top player in recent times. Having retained the World Rapid (25 minutes per player per game) Championship on Monday, Carlsen was heavy favourite for the Blitz (3 minutes pppg plus 3 seconds per move) as well. A loss to Teimour Radjabov finished with mild pen abuse but it was a key game against eventual winner Alexander Grischuk a couple of rounds later which caused Carlsen to explode. After resigning Carlsen spun on his heels, punched his hand and cried out ‘Faen!’, which is just as strong as the English f-word. More pen abuse followed. Even so, with two rounds to play, Carlsen was still in with a chance. But a new disappointment followed, Carlsen allowing himself to be mated by Vassily Ivanchuk. Carlsen was clearly disgusted with himself again, though his attempt to throw his

Magnus ‘McEnroe’ Carlsen

pen at the table was half-hearted. The Norwegian media had come out in force, with two television stations and two newspapers sending teams to cover the Championships, and they were stunned. Carlsen later expressed regret for his behaviour, saying ‘I realise that it looks stupid to storm out like a moron, but I could not keep a cool head.’ The main conclusion to be drawn is that Carlsen is becoming increasingly frustrated with his inability to return to the form of 2014 which took him to record ratings. With plenty of tournaments in the last part of the year, Carlsen has chances to recover his form, but first he must overcome his psychological demons.

Backlash

fresh, local, authentic

In a remarkable feat of timing, federal minister for screwing the environment Greg Hunt has re-approved the monstrous Adani coal mine, scheduled to export 60 million tonnes of coal through the Great Barrier Reef each year from the Galilee Basin in central Queensland, just as researchers report in the journal Nature that steep cuts to emissions during the next decade are the only way to avoid a catastrophic collapse of Antarctic ice sheets and associated sea-level rise that will continue for thousands of years. The trigger point is 30C and we’re on target already to go past that. So at what stage will our fearless leaders make a connection with reality?

It includes a remaster of Ken Russell’s 1969 classic Women In Love, based on D H Lawrence’s 1920 novel. The film was made before Russell started becoming really eccentric, and is worth watching just for Alan Bates’s eating of a fig, let alone the hilarious Eurythmy scene.
