Shark budget a ‘world first’ A five year $16 million shark strategy has been announced by NSW Minister for Primary Industries, Niall Blair, which will include ‘listening stations’ and two ‘barrier net trials’ for unspecified locations on the north coast. Unveiled last Sunday, the plan will see ‘an increase in aerial shark surveillance as well as trials of new technologies.’ Mr Blair said, ‘After considering the advice from experts attending a recent summit in Sydney and consulting with communities including the north coast, we will take a multi-faceted approach to the issue

of detecting and deterring sharks.’ ‘What’s more, we are proud to be the first jurisdiction anywhere in the world to adopt an integrated approach toward keeping our beaches safe.’ Aerial and coastal surveillance will be deployed, he says, ‘to provide early warning to bathers and assist shark tagging operations.’ Listening stations with 4G technology will also assist with detection, with ten stations ‘positioned between Tweed Heads and Forster’, and another ten positioned at known shark attack locations.

truthing for environmental zones and a relaxation of activities permitted in E2 and E3 zones.’ Yet Mrs Robb says that overall the reforms have missed the mark. ‘They do not recognise the importance of local food production and the unnecessary duplication of law that environmental zones represent.’

Weaker protections Meanwhile, EDO NSW outreach solicitor Nina Lucas says the changes ‘offer weaker environmental protections than those proposed in the interim report released by the Department of Planning and Environment for public comment in June 2014.’ She said, ‘The far north coast is one of the most biologically diverse regions in NSW, and agriculture is a major part of the regional economy.’ ‘These changes are a considerable erosion of the fundamental objective of E2 and E3 zones, being to protect, manage and restore areas with high or special ecological, scientific, cultural or aesthetic values. ‘This is of particular concern given that the reforms apply to one of the most biologically diverse regions in NSW. These reforms are also worrying in the context of the NSW government’s biodiversity legislation review, which from all indications to date is likely to result in further weakened protections for native flora and fauna.’ Q For more visit www.planning.

He says the data will eventually be made available to ‘provide details of tagged shark locations via the SharkSmart app in real time’. ‘An independent report into shark technologies also recommended the adoption of smart drum lines, which will be considered in consultation with local communities.’ While Ballina MP Tamara Smith (Greens) supported the north coast being the focus of some of the technology trials, she says she is ‘concerned about reports that “smart” drum-line technology may be continued on page 2

After years in limbo, the state government announced sweeping reforms to environmentally zoned lands across the Ballina, Byron, Kyogle, Lismore and Tweed Shires last week. Known as E-zones, the NSW Planning Department says environmental conservation (‘E2’) or environmental management (‘E3’) zonings, ‘are designed to protect land that is of important environmental value.’ The Northern Councils E Zone Review Final Recommendations Report was announced by NSW Planning Minister Rob Stokes on Tuesday. Predictably, environmental groups and the peak body representing NSW farmers are divided over last week’s announcement; NSW Farmers claim the reforms still don’t provide enough certainty for their industry, while the Environmental Defenders Office (EDO) says it waters down the five councils’ ability to zone land for environmental conservation and management. NSW Farmers executive councillor and Alstonville dairy farmer Kath Robb said that while some of the reforms were a step forward, farmers still faced the prospect of multiple zonings on their land. ‘The crux of our policy is that we want recognition of the importance of local food and fibre production and recognise that red tape duplication does nothing for the environment,’ Mrs Robb said. ‘There are some positive reforms including that the primary use of the land be the first consideration when making zoning decisions, and that there be more robust verification techniques including ground

Where freedom roams Free The Reef event Sat

Local and international speakers gathered last weekend for the Freedom Summit, held at the Cavvanbah Centre on Ewingsdale Road. Over three days, participants

explored sovereignty, human rights, money and debt, climate, environment, food safety, sustainable design, animal rights, permaculture, geoengineering, and consciousness.

A Free The Reef event to highlight the ongoing destruction of the Great Barrier Reef will be held on Saturday October 31 at Main Beach’s Apex Park, Byron Bay from 11am to 3pm. Tanya Egerton from freethereef.org says, ‘This is not the first time the reef has been threatened. ‘Few of us will be aware of the 20-year struggle to prevent the most wondrous coral reef in the world from being destroyed by the unlikely trio of a poet, an artist and a forester — Judith Wright, John Busst and Len Webb in the late 1960s.’ She says despite their efforts and the creation of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park and its inscription on the

World Heritage List, the Reef is under dire threat again.

Climate change, industry at fault According to Fight for the Reef campaign director Imogen Zethoven, climate change, industrial development and farm chemical pollution are the main culprits. She says, ‘We can all do our bit to protect it, but we need the federal government to show leadership by rapidly moving Australia to renewable energy, rejecting the Adani coal port development at Abbot Point and putting a regulatory cap on farm pollution with financial incentives for farmers.’ For more information visit www.fightforthereef.org.au.

Driver leaves trail of damage in Mullum

A 53-year-old man is undergoing mental health assessments after crashing his car through fences and brick walls in the centre of Mullumbimby early Monday morning. Inspector Greg Jago of Tweed/Byron Local Area Command said the driver was apprehended by police in Station Street after leaving his crashed car near the rear of the IGA building. The speeding driver had apparently driven his car through the carpark at the back of John Robinson Accountants, became airborne as he crashed through the fence into The Other Joint cafe’s back yard, clipped an

interior wall and a heavy table, before crashing through the opposite fence. He then allegedly drove across the carpark at the back of the Art Piece Gallery and NAB bank, smashed down a brick wall at the end of that carpark and stopped just at the rear of IGA under The Echo building’s window. Inspector Jago said, ‘Police responded to reports of him running into fences and walls and as a result he was detained and conveyed to Tweed Hospital.’ Inspector Jago said it was believed the man was attempting self-harm. ‘The results of those assessments will determine whether any charges are laid,’ he said.

The state’s new $16m shark budget continued from page 1 considered in the trials.’ Ms Smith says, ‘Smart’ drum-lines can’t be considered a non-lethal technology, and I will be seeking a clarification from the minister on this issue.’ ‘I look forward to continu-

Council working to coexist parking, markets A press release from mayor Simon Richardson has claimed that negotiations are progressing with market stallholders on the Butler Street Reserve. With a looming Byron Bay paid parking scheme, Council has earmarked the location as all day parking. But the plans have met fierce resistance, with stallholders claiming there has been no choice and that other locations are unsuitable. Now Cr Richardson claims, ‘A lower grade car park at the Butler Street Reserve will be constructed in an effort to support longer term tenure for the Byron Community Markets.’ ‘We’re now working towards a plan for the site to coexist as a public car park while continuing to accommodate the community markets and making the site even better for markets with more trees to be planted and better access. ‘The new agreement will

allow the community market to stay in place while we assess the level of use for the car park during the period following the commencement of paid parking in December.’ And while Community Markets manager Tess Cullen and the North Coast Market Stallholder Association welcomed the decision, the Rainbow Region Stallholders Association are still unhappy. A statement to The Echo reads in part, ‘Both [the Byron Bay Community Centre and Council] seem to be acting in concert to place their own agendas above the financial wellbeing of all stallholders. This could explain why we have a PR campaign instead of genuine consultation.’ They added they look forward to all parties arriving at a mutually beneficial outcome. The mayor’s press release ended with, ‘discussions are still ongoing with the Byron Bay Farmers Markets…’

Helping the farmers doing it tough out west The worst drought in living memory is now heading into its fourth year, says Anne Thompson, organiser of the North Coast Drought Appeal. ‘Many farmers are very financially strained and emotionally and physically drained,’ she says. She’s calling on locals to donate food for Christmas hampers. ‘Clubs, church groups, workplaces and schools are asked to get organised and people can look in their own cupboards or shop for a few extra items of non-perishable food in packets, cans, jars and bottles, as well as Christmas cakes, puddings, tins of ham

and salmon. We need to let drought-stricken farmers know that they are not forgotten, and we would like to lift

their spirits a little at Christmas. Packing will take place at the Eltham Hall and volunteers will be needed dur-

ing November. The Clunes Rural Fire Service will once again do the loading of the hampers onto pallets on December 5 in plenty of time for their long journey out west to Bourke, Walgett, Coonamble, Brewarrina, Collarenebri, Lightning Ridge, Mungindi and hopefully even across the border into QLD.’ Food can be dropped ff at the the Byron Anglican Opshop and donations can be made through the Bangalow Lions. The account is 22266650, and BSB is 728-728. To get involved, call Anne on 66 291 041.

CCTV update

Arts scholarship announced

Further to last week’s story regarding plans to install Byron Bay CCTV by Christmas, Council’s director of corporate management Mark Arnold says Council has planned for the CCTV maintenance costs. ‘As it’s a new system, the total cost of maintaining the CCTV for Byron Bay town centre is unknown at this stage. However costs will include preventative maintenance of about $4,000 and unplanned maintenance.’ He says a maintenance budget is allocated for this financial year, and Council will soon talk with businesses on how they can contribute.

Byron Bay’s Nathan Wood has just scooped $10,000 from a new government arts initiative called the NSW Young Regional Artist Scholarships. His screen project, A Timelapse Journey Through the NSW Wilderness, involves time lapse photography and video of NSW national parks and wilderness areas. North coast MLC Ben Franklin (Nationals) said the new scholarships will help local artists reach their full potential and contribute to the region’s rich culture. ‘As a very strong supporter of the arts, I’m keen to see these scholarships delivered locally and help emerg-

youth able to apply for the second round later this year. Nathan’s work can be viewed at www.paredoliavisuals.com.

Andrew’s rivers of black gold Hans Lovejoy

There’s a fertile revolution going on at Compost Central, located within Byron’s Industry Estate. Rich compost is bursting from old bathtubs, soil beds and compost bins. It’s full of microbes and teaming with worms. And dark coloured liquid organic plant food flows from compost bin taps. But more than that, waste enthusiast Andrew Hayim De Vries is working on an invention he says could be a game changer. ‘Our core vision is for homes, schools and businesses – including resorts and cafes – to compost successfully on location.’

He says that by turning organic food waste into a valuable resource, it can be ‘integrated directly into the process of food production.’ Andrew’s dedicated to the advancement of compost

technology and education, but the bigger vision is to complete and submit a patent on a design that would push processed compost into garden beds, via a sub-surface irrigation system buried in the soil. ‘It saves on water, time and adds a high-nutrient fertiliser. ‘And with a timer on the tap to push the liquid waste through the pipes and chambers, there’s almost no maintenance. The result is a garden bed that is constantly being fed high-quality nutrients. ‘We’re nearly there,’ he says

of his existing model in the back garden, and adds that there’s some fine-tuning to do and that he’s still looking for investors to help make it happen. As for the art of compost, Andrew says that cultivating microbes and worms is the key. ‘The black compost bins that Council sells create an environment too hot for microbes and worms to thrive if left in the sun. Essentially the waste becomes rancid. ‘The best solution I have found is putting a wire-mesh cover on the black bin and

then a slightly bigger bin – painted white – over that bin. ‘That gives a better temperature and air flow. Another thing worth doing is securing your compost from flies, cockroaches and rats. This gives the waste its best chance to be plant food.’ As for Council’s recently introduced organic waste bin, he agrees it’s necessary, ‘but we should, and can, begin composting our food waste very simply and successfully ourselves at home, in schools and small businesses.’ ‘This is a core focus – and I can coach, supply and install for this purpose at a very reasonable cost.’

Composting talks Andrew’s next workshop is Wednesday November 4, from 6–7pm and Saturday November 7, from 10–11am. Compost Central is located at 1/22 Brigantine Street, Byron Bay. For more visit www.compostcentral.org or phone 0413 530 559.

Volume 30 #20

October 28, 2015

Free at last Congrats to organisers Blair Bettie, Stephanie Humble and everyone involved in the Freedom Summit festival, held last weekend at the Cavvanbah Centre in Ewingsdale. True to its theme, the festival explored what chains we are shackled to, and how best to equip ourselves to break them. There were many highlights, including US author and activist Daniel Pinchbeck, who explained the predicament on the current free market economic rationalism model (hint: it’s not rational). Neoliberalism and traditional tribal customs are indeed miles apart; Pinchbeck’s excellent 2000 book, Breaking Open The Head, explored ceremony within traditional tribal cultures across the planet, and focussed on the use of psychoactive substances such as ayahuasca and san pedro. Such initiations give a sense of place and purpose to a new member of a tribe, he said. In contrast, he said, ‘Western culture breeds kidults, not adults. [With the West], there is little or no ceremony in our lives, there’s no responsibility, only to yourself.’ He said the corporate structure only rewards competition and domination. ‘It’s an old paradigm,’ Pinchbeck said. ‘The money system is based on a debt model. As debt outgrows GDP, the system is forcing destructive growth.’ ‘We have a brief window of time to address this,’ he said, and suggested that decentralised and resilient communities are the key. And yet that task is made harder when the current governments endlessly work against the interests of the middle and lower classes. NSW premier and former HSBC banker Mike Baird for example, is doing his best to rid TAFE of funding and staff. Of the first TAFE funding to go was arts. Hopefully locallybased MLC Ben Franklin (Nationals) is working tirelessly behind the scenes to convince his counterparts that funding arts education is just as important as other trades (see page 6 story). To be fair, the NSW coaliotion government were the first to sign up and provide the money needed for the Gonski education reforms, yet their federal Liberal counterparts remain uncommitted. It’s easy to be cynical and suggest an educated population is a dangerous thing for governments, but last week also saw Baird’s office block a submission to a federal government inquiry into Australia’s emissions target. A freedom of information request by Fairfax claims the reports says that, ‘Australia risks being left with “stranded” fossil fuel assets and missing out on investment in new technologies if the country’s climate change actions are less ambitious than other nations.’ Look past the game show looks, smile and charm, and Baird’s government are like the rest – repaying in kind the money they receive from big banks and fossil fuel corporations. If only another political party would emerge with wellthought-out economic policies. The current federal Greens economic policy – www.greens.org.au/policies/economics – is a jumbled mess of unsupported ideas and assumptions. Pinchbeck may be right – as US libertarian Robert LeFevre said, ‘government is a disease masquerading as its own cure.’ Hans Lovejoy, editor

The Byron Shire Echo

he Australian’s commentators said it was an olive branch; their headlines writers called it a test and the ABC preferred the term challenge. But for the Labor Party it was a wedge, a threat. Malcolm Turnbull had declared that he was determined to take on the unions – not only their alleged corruption, but their power. And Bill Shorten and his parliamentary mates could negotiate – by which he really meant capitulate – or he would make it a major issue at the next election, possibly a double dissolution trigger. The language was conciliatory, but inside the velvet sock was an iron foot. Where the unions were concerned, no more Mr Nice Guy. Shorten replied that Turnbull was obsessed, and perhaps he was; but it could hardly have been a surprise. Bashing the union is, as the saying goes, in the Liberal DNA. It always has been; the party’s founder, Robert Menzies, was prepared to accept the union movement, but only when it was kept in its place. If it got uppity, or active, it was to be slapped down, and of course if it became infected with communism, it was anathematised. This became the credo of Bartholomew Augustine Santamaria and his shadowy movement, which led to the great Labor split, and it produced the arbitrary division of moderate unions (good, or at least tolerated) and militants (by definition bad). And on this basis the Libs have proceeded ever since. As prime minister, John Gorton encouraged the imprisonment of a left-wing leader Clarrie O’Shea, resulting in mass demonstrations which included the highly personal message: ‘Cut off Gorton’s penal

power’. Malcolm Fraser mused to his colleagues that the public was just about ready to see other militants in jail, and set up a royal commission on the waterfront unions, which backfired badly when it exposed the tax rorts of big business. John Howard was a little more subtle; he legislated to curb the movement, and when that proved ineffective, set up WorkChoices, another serious political miscalculation. And of course Tony Abbott went back to a royal commission of his own.

The Liberals see any form of collectivism as not merely undesirable but positively immoral. by Mungo MacCallum The primary motive for this ongoing vendetta is simply ideological: the Liberals, and most fervently their conservative wing, enshrine the virtues of individuality, and thus see any form of collectivism as not merely undesirable but positively immoral. More directly, the Liberals espouse free enterprise: they see the unions as an obstacle, one that could even lead to (shock, horror) socialism. Thus it is the bounden duty of their politicians to degrade the movement, if possible to destroy it; and if it is not to be disembowelled, it must be disempowered, neutralised as a political force. Turnbull may sound more reasonable; his argument is that his demands are no more than just. The rules must be applied equally to all, to the industrial organisations just as they are to the big corporations. It is an appealing analogy, but a false one: there is a world of difference between the elected leaders of bodies

of workers and the largely appointed directors who maintain the giant conglomerates of private capital. And self-evidently, the rules have never been applied equally. Dodgy union bosses are excoriated, threatened with dire penalties; but company executives engaged in rorts, conspiracy and outright fraud seldom suffer more than a slap on the wrist and the organisations that employ them are allowed to remain pretty much self-regulated.

that erupted among financial advisers to banks, particularly to the Commonwealth, have simply faded away; requests for a royal commission were dismissed immediately. But the public, long conditioned by the propaganda of a one-sided media (predominantly run, of course, by the self-interested capitalists themselves) will probably buy the spin. The political debate, and the election campaign that will almost certainly follow it, will be a bit like the All Blacks against Namibia. The government, or at least the more rational sections of it, know that the union movement is not a monolith; there is still the distinction between moderates and militants. And within the broad church of unionism, there are often serious disagreements, even fierce internecine rivalries. But when it is attacked from outside, it will generally come together: solidarity forever. The kind of confrontation Turnbull is apparently presaging

will require an equally decisive response, and Shorten and the ALP cannot, and will not, walk away from it. There are many in the parliamentary party who would like to dilute the influence of the unions, and have said so, loudly and publicly; but that does not mean that they are ready to allow the Libs to raze the ground on which they have stood for so long. They have their own DNA to consider. So far, Shorten and his team have played it by the book; if there are allegations, let us test them. If there is compelling evidence of wrongdoing, then certainly charges should be laid, and the accused tried before the courts. If they are found guilty, then let them be sentenced: that is the rule of law, the Australian way. But until then they are just allegations against individuals, and to smear and condemn the whole union movement is manifestly unjust. But that is not what the controversy is about: it is to be a trial of strength for Turnbull, a proof of his Liberal credentials. The right fear he is soft on climate change, same-sex marriage and many other issues they see as unnecessary distractions: but industrial relations – that is, union bashing – is a core belief. He could not hold them back even if he wanted to, and there is no real sign that he does. So here we go again; wave the olive branch if you like, but then refashion it into a handy and serviceable bludgeon. The brief period of political harmony is about to come to a divisive and probably highly pugnacious end. Back to the slogans, the misrepresentations, the abuse. It was always going to happen, but it would have been nice to have had a slightly longer truce from the long war without blood.

Spare that fig

No, Byron Shire Council, no! Hold back your chainsaw! We want a public consultation before you exterminate the magnificent fig tree in Station Street. This tree is part of our Mullumbimby heritage – it’s beautiful, old and well-established. Its spreading branches give habitat to a pair of Pacific Baza crested hawks who breed there. This tree gives shade and sanctuary in super hot weather. It provides us, and in particular the pre-school children next door, with oxygen which its leaves create and transform from the carbon

dioxide emitted by the cars using your car park. It helps alleviate the impact of passing traffic by absorbing some of the noise, vibration and fumes. Besides enhancing the visual amenity of Station Street with its beauty, the deep roots of this enormous tree help to store water in the earth and provide shelter and sustenance for myriads of tiny creatures indispensible to our ecology and environment. Why on Earth would you want to destroy it? Please allow the people of Mullumbimby to have some say in this matter. Martin Luther said, ‘For in the true nature of

do need to be concerned about dirty diesel emissions, but it’s very strange that those concerns are directed at one small Byron train while at the same time ignoring the many tonnes of toxic fumes being released from road transport on our roads and in our towns every day. It would be much more effective if people addressed their concerns about dirty diesel to the state minister for transport, Andrew Constance, at Parliament House, Macquarie St, Sydney 2000. They should also ask Mr Constance when he plans to have the train service, promised for many years by Barry O’Farrell (then opposition leader), Don Page (former MP for Ballina) and Thomas George (MP for Lismore) running on the Casino to Murwillumbah line. This urgently needed ser-

continued from page 9 decided to stop us from having coastal hazard zones (currently 7f1 and 7f2). This is to help get rid of planned retreat and replace our beaches with rock walls. At least the minister is theoretically still going to allow councils to have environmental living zones (E4), except for Byron Shire which has to get rid of the ones it proposed. After 36 years of the operation of the Environment Planning and Assessment Act, these major wind-backs are all about getting rid of the rights of local communities to decide where certain types of developments are inappropriate. While some people may think it’s about private rights triumphing over public good, really it’s all about giving the state unfettered rights to decide where mining, logging and development can occur.

vice would not only reduce toxic emissions by reducing traffic congestion, it would save lives and injuries from road accidents, allow locals to access health and education facilities, as well as providing transport to 4.6m tourists to the region. The state government is in a good financial position and is expecting $20 billion from the sale of electricity poles and wires. They are planning to spend most of this money on infrastructure in and around Sydney; little will be spent in the north coast. This region has been neglected by successive state governments for far too long. It’s time we got our fair share. The cost of repairing the line for the Byron train ($1.1m for 3.4km) shows that the Casino to Murwillumbah line can be repaired and a train service running for a fraction of what the state government claims. What we cannot afford is the huge cost of building and maintaining the roads needed for the tsunami of traffic headed our way, or the traffic congestion and toxic fumes that go with it. Louise Doran Ocean Shores

Q Hands up all those who think the Elements diesel will solve Byron’s traffic problems. Hands up those who like the suggestion that the line be extended to The Farm and hospital. Get real, guys – the business case isn’t there so after the novelty has worn off it will sink slowly but surely. What happens to the Byron platform is another story. Alan Ramsay Ocean Shores

Settlement of the transaction will be in February 2016. The Fishermen’s Co-op was established in 1964 to land and market the catch. However, the catch and fleet have diminished over the years and commercial fish landings are currently negligible. Whistle Funds Management Company is an investment company, principally in real estate. Whistle has a portfolio of neighbourhood shopping and community service centres in the Brunswick Heads area, including Whistle-on-Ocean shopping centre at Ocean Shores, Whistle-on-Barclay with Osteria Restaurant and Casuarina Recreation Club at Casuarina. I am Whistle’s general manager at Whistle-onBrunswick and Whistle-onOcean Shopping Centre. As a local resident for more than 20 years, I’m active in the community, with four children having served the Brunswick Heads Surf Club. I have seen the growth of the local area in size and in spirit. I’m passionate about the northern rivers and its healthy, sustainable development. I’m excited to lead and manage the venture for Whistle because they have a sus-

tainable community mindset. Whistle management have considerable experience in seafood and aquaculture, in particular in Tasmania. Whistle’s intention is to restore the historical Fisherman’s Co-op facility in its existing use as a seafood restaurant and takeaway shop with upgraded seating and public amenities for visitors and community as soon as possible. Whistle looks forward to being a part in the future evolution of the Brunswick Heads Boat Harbour in line with government and community aspirations to create a healthy sustainable recreational facility.

Q Three letters last week commenting on the proposed Elements of Byron toy train covered the usual ground. There was the criticism of the toy train because it will run on diesel. There was an emphatic endorsement of the toy train because it is a train and everyone loves trains. And there was the pie-inthe-sky view that the proposal didn’t go far enough in servicing the green capitalists of Byron and really should be extended to The Farm at Ewingsdale. There seems to be the idea, firmly rooted in the train-centric worldview of TOOTers, that this toy train is the first step towards universal public transport in the northern rivers. It is a bit of

Grateful for storage I have been a resident of Byron Bay for 11 years. When my family was notified that my long-term residence was being taken off the rental market we were extremely grateful to find Pinegroves storage had a vacancy and could accommodate our needs at such short notice. At the time there was no other storage options available in Byron Bay that we could access.

a slippery-slope argument – just get this bit of train track operational then the rest will follow. Like the view that cigarette smoking leads inexorably to a crack addiction, it is an argument devoid of logic and sheared from reality. The train will run when the proprietors have guests to convey to the Bay. It will transport them three kilometres. The carbound might not realise this, but to walk such a distance takes half an hour. To cycle it, between six and ten minutes. If Elements were seriously green they would facilitate cycling and walking along this corridor. Their toy train is a hoax and will not magically transform into universal public transport for all. I am surprised that more questions are not being asked about the private appropriation of community infrastructure by a tourist resort that seems to be immune from local criticism by virtue of its assiduous greenwashing. But then trains and ecoresorts share a common trait. They’re both so green and cuddly everyone loves them. Dave Lisle Mullumbimby We were given the opportunity to rent storage at a very reasonable rate for a year while we moved interstate. When we visited the storage containers a handful of times during this rental period we only saw another vehicle at the units on one occasion. Often Alan Hunter, the farmer who owns the facility, would be working the land and close at hand if any assistance was needed. He was very approachable, friendly and willing to lend a hand whileproviding a very seamless service. Personally I consider it to be a very sympathetic use of the lovely farm environment and have recommended it to a number of people looking for options when the time has suddenly come to relocate. I think this is a valuable small business that offers options for people who are needing this service in a constantly changing region and choose to vote in its favour. Cerise Gollogly Byron Bay

ontecollum resident Alan Escombe-Wolhuter passed away peacefully at his home on October 17 after a long fight with polycystic liver and kidney disease. Born in Bulawayo, Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), Alan fell in love with the sound of rock-and-roll in his teens and hopped a ship to England in 1964 to become a musician. He quickly joined a group of fellow African exiles called The Shake Spears, with whom he had a series of number one hits in Europe and enjoyed a long season of wild shows at the Chevron Hotel on the Gold Coast in 1966. In the 1980s Alan found success in a different area of rock-and-roll as a director

sewage facilities for the new Ewingsdale hospital, I would suggest that Cr Dey’s Water Waste & Sewage Committee join forces wth the Council’s Road & Traffic Congestion and Pothole Committee. Any surplus ETs (sewer talk for an average urban household sewer load) produced by the hospital could be diverted to fill potholes and repair the Byron Shire road network. Mind you, a full Council meeting would probably produce more ETs than six months of hospital operations. Cr Dey should also consider that where a hospital ET is created by local residents, the overall quantum (of ET) remains the same – it is only the entry point to the Shire’s sewage treatment plant that changes. One would have thought that the provision of a first-class hospital would be the primary thought of any responsible regional council. Tim Harrington Lennox Head

No-one disputes the need for such services. The point is that their development should be examined far more closely, in the interests of everyone. Council should rescind the motion approving the intensification of the Nunkari Treatment Centre immediately on several grounds, including the critical need for a proper risk assessment to clients and community and a follow-up on compliance issues.

Should we cut off the ear of Bill Heffernan’s sheep? In TheConversation.com, Elizabeth Ellis looks at rural industry influence on animal welfare issues

Senate committee the other week effectively killed off a proposal to create an independent animal welfare authority for Australia. Without the committee’s support, the Voice for Animals Bill introduced by the Greens has no hope of being enacted. But the Senate inquiry that preceded the report gave a valuable insight into how animal welfare issues are viewed within our political and wider culture. The inquiry was conducted by the Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport Legislation Committee. Senators who have had direct involvement in livestock industries and/or represent states that are closely aligned with rural agricultural interests played a dominant part in the process. This situation forms a microcosm of a wider problem with existing animal welfare regulation: that primary industries and agriculture departments administer and, in some cases, enforce animal welfare laws. They also advise governments on animal welfare, with significant input from industry. While most animal welfare regulation is state-based, the Commonwealth adopts the

same model, with the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources bearing responsibility for most national animal welfare matters, including live exports. Yet the department’s predominant role is to support and promote agricultural and other industries – the very conflict of interest that the Greens’ bill was seeking to avoid. Agricultural and industry interests were prominent at last month’s Senate hearing on the bill. But many questions to witnesses representing animal protection bodies lacked obvious relevance and the tone was sometimes hectoring.

continued from page 11 that Mr Mathews thinks is a road is only a right-of-way access for the homes in that development. This ROW access driveway exists on someone’s privately-owned rural land.

at the end of WWIII. What is interesting is that most people don’t realise that it would be quite logical for our enemies to deliver nuclear strikes to any Australian port that could be used to re-supply or repair any allied ship at the nuclear culmination of WWIII. That of course would include Sydney and Brisbane. It is worth contemplating how life would continue in Byron Shire in such an eventuality, because unless we move towards peace right now, then we are moving deeper and deeper into the inescapable madness of World War III. Peter Olson Goonengerry

WWIII revisited Since there were no comments on the Echo letter 14/10/2015 suggesting that WWIII was now underway, it could be made clear that WWIII was first announced in 2001 by USA Army General and Supreme Allied Commander Europe of NATO, General Wesley Clark. In 2001 General Clark said the USA had plans to invade seven countries, including Syria, Libya, Iraq and Iran. Many people already know this and naturally accept that the USA military bases in Australia would receive nuclear missile attacks

‘A bit of guts’ Liberal senator Bill Heffernan, in the chair, set the scene by asking: ‘If I have a ewe down in the paddock with a cancer ear, should I cut the ear off or shoot the sheep?’ Similar questions to the panel followed: would they shoot a ewe with a prolapse? Do they object to poisoning and shooting pigs that eat newborn lambs? Queries as to the questions’ relevance were met with responses such as: ‘Have a bit of guts and have a crack.’ Another Liberal senator, Chris Back, a former livestock

veterinarian, expressed ‘deep disappointment’ at the suggestion that vets employed by live export companies could be professionally compromised, but did not pursue other pertinent matters, such as the department’s heavily criticised approach to enforcement of the rules governing live exports. Labor members of the committee also chose not to engage substantially with key issues. Instead, WA ALP senator Joe Bullock chose to ask representatives of animal welfare groups about their sources of funding, and to press them on whether they would shoot Heffernan’s hypothetical pig.

representatives received a more respectful reception. The department’s deputy secretary was invited to sidestep the hypothetical farmyard questions, which he duly did on the basis of being a ‘humble economist’ – a self-deprecating assessment that did not stop him offering his opinions about the relationship between industry and animal welfare. This deferential attitude to those with industry connections was also on show at a hearing by the same Senate committee back in May, when it discussed proposed new laws to enforce reporting of animal cruelty. Although framed in terms of animal protection, this bill, introduced by Senator Back, is widely regarded as intended in order to create more paid parking spaces to satisfy their insatiable hunger for gold coins. Never mind that the farmers market or the community market have no other homes and hundreds of people and their families will be affected, they are only people after all. Cars are different. Has anyone noticed how well the cars are looked after in this shire compared to pedestrians and cyclists? The cars at the Cavanbah Centre and other shire carparks have lovely trees shading them, but the cyclists and pedestrians using the Ewingsdale-Byron pathway must endure full sun. This pathway incomprehensibly finishes abruptly at McGettigans Lane. The Arts and Industry Estate and many other areas are crying for a safe, shaded, pedestrian environment. Byron traffic congestion could also be solved by looking at it from the pedestrian point of view. Experience overseas and in Australia shows that the motorists are happy to park and walk big distances as long as the walking is safe and pleasant. Aside from market days,

But again the hearing showed an evident disdain for animal protection bodies, including the RSPCA, on whom state governments rely to enforce animal cruelty legislation. Perhaps the most striking feature of the inquiry into the Voice for Animals Bill is its irony: an inquiry into a bill to establish an independent animal welfare office by a committee with a vested interest in industry and agriculture. More broadly, this prompts the wider question of who is entitled to speak with legitimacy and authority about animal welfare. The logical inference from Heffernan’s questioning is that only those with farming or industry experience are qualified to make decisions about animal welfare – that only those who have been down in the paddock or worked directly with livestock industries are worth listening to. presently very few people use the free Butler Street parking; it is hard to see that they will rush to pay to park there. A promenade above the beach leading to Byron Bay along the caravan park could be an attractive option, tabled years ago by Cr Richard Staples. The popularity of the Camino routes in Europe is proof that walking can be an experience in itself. New pedestrianism is a worldwide movement which could inspire our shire’s planning. The bureaucracy needs to serve the people, not itself. Sky Wesolowski Coorabell

New rescue tower Huge congratulations to our local state MP Tamara Smith for helping to facilitate extra state government contributions for our long-awaited replacement marine rescue tower at Ballina. Ms Smith has committed the majority of her allocated community grants funding to this project ($200,000). It has been an ongoing saga/stand-off that our wonderful marine rescue volunteers have unfortunately

Implicit in this view is the idea that farmers and livestock vets are beyond reproach, and that the agriculture department’s expertise is a given. These attitudes reflect a culture that accepts some animal cruelty as normal and belittles those who view it otherwise. The creation of an independent office of animal welfare would be a good start in helping to change this culture. This does not preclude industry input, but ensures that other expertise is recognised. In their dissenting report, the Greens noted that their bill could be improved by incorporating some of the submissions to the inquiry. And an independent office of animal welfare is already part of Labor’s platform. If politics could be set aside, these two parties could work together to put an independent animal welfare office at the forefront of public debate.

beared the brunt of. The building has been gradually falling over for a number of years and now represents a safety hazard. While it’s easy for the community to be critical of Ballina Council’s handling of this issue, as a councillor, it is hard not feel let down by our state and federal government counterparts, particularly as for a number of years our local MPs were part of those governments. The building (and the proposed alternative building) is located on Crown land (state government) and the service is funded through the NSW Roads and Maritime Services (and by community donations). Despite this, Ballina Council (ratepayers) have contributed more than 50 per cent of the cost of its replacement (over $1 million) and completed the design and approvals process for the new building. Now that tenders are finally being called for, let’s hope that the new building can be constructed as soon as possible. Cr Jeff Johnson Lennox Head

Comprising extensive gardens set around three glorious lakes, this is more than just a collection of growing things, this is a living artwork. When the property was discovered six years ago by Melissa, now the owner, she could see its potential. Originally from the city, she had little aptitude for gardening, let alone such a massive project as Lily Ponds, her talents lay in interior design and art. But her vision held true, she wanted

With grace and style she designed EHDXWLIXO VWRQHZRUN WKDW ĂąRZV WKURXJK the property like liquid, the little house was transformed. However when it came to all the living things, her green thumb left much to be desired, everything she looked at withered. Pyari, the head gardener of Crystal Castle, answered her plea.

Beating first home buyer fatigue ME Head of Home Loans, Patrick Nolan shares four tips to stay motivated while saving for your first home. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Some days saving for a first home can feel like running a marathon, and as any distance runner knows, at some stage you could hit the wall of fatigue,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Nolan. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;In running terms thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the point where energy levels start to drop and athletes have to fight the urge to toss in the towel and head back to the change rooms. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;If you find your enthusiasm for growing savings is starting to flag, it can pay to adopt the strategies used by professional runners to forge ahead even when the wall tries to slow them down.

Life is meant to be enjoyed, and you still need to able to head out on the town occasionally, take a break on vacation or chill out with friends. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Aiming to stick to a consistent pace of saving can help you avoid saving fatigue.

The Best Exotic Indian in Billinudgel! Photos and story by Susan Wise

If you build it they will come. And come they do, to Billinudgel for a delightful Indian taste sensation. The sign at the door of Billi’s Indian Restaurant urges patrons to ‘please book in advance’, and I can see why. The restaurant has built a large, loyal customer base since it opened just three years ago, and the reputation is well deserved. The place was buzzing with a pleasant, upbeat vibe, even though I dined midweek. Happy, hungry locals filled a cosy indoor space with a fireplace, and the heated outdoor deck was taken over by a large party. It was a full house, but staff were friendly and the service prompt. They were also doing a brisk take away trade. Billi’s is easy on the wallet. The menu boasts a tempting

selection of value for money curries: vegetable $12.90, chicken/lamb/beef $13.90, and seafood $17.00. A good excuse to try an extra dish or two. All meals are freshly cooked, with vegan and gluten-free options available. My food arrived hot and steaming in authentic Indian karahi bowls. Sweet, fluffy coconut rice and a decorative basket filled with mushroom and garlic naan were delightfully different accompaniments to the meal. The highlight of the night however was my mango chicken. The first mouthful gave me an unexpected jolt of joy. As succulent as a juicy, ripe mango, it invoked feelings of summery freshness and childlike fun. Its luscious sweet creaminess almost qualified it as a dessert item! Billi’s website has an easy

actually having a romantic child-free night away, locally. I stayed as a guest of the Byron at Byron recently, for example, and could see the potential. It has an upmarket pool and restaurant, a day spa with the full range of pampering, yoga on the deck etc but the boardwalks above pools and streams, winding through the rainforest (the remnants of the eccentric old Everglades creation) add quite a romantic element to the comfort. The rooms also have a romantic feel, as you can see

ordering system for takeaway, and they offer home delivery to Billinudgel, Brunswick Heads and Ocean Shores; an alluring option for a relaxing night in PJs, with a DVD and some great Indian food. Billi’s Indian is a hidden gem that northern residents of the shire have largely been

enjoying by themselves. If you’re a ‘southerner’, you’ll discover that a quick trip up the freeway leads to a deliciously inexpensive night out – but don’t forget to book! Open Tue – Sun, 5-9pm. Q 8 Wilfred St. Billinudgel www.billisindian.com.au (02) 6680 3352

Loving Byron at Byron Spring may be the time when a young man’s thoughts turn to love, but October is the time I start to plan our wedding anniversary. One of our young children, born of a swift romance, came to the wedding but they can’t expect to come to the anniversaries as well, so I tend to look for a quiet restaurant where my wife and I can actually talk to each other uninterrupted. We tend to celebrate at one of the range of excellent local places, then rush home to relieve the babysitter, but recently I started thinking about

to, feel the breeze without being bitten. Best of all, when I walked in the early morning through the boardwalks and finally emerged onto the hidden beauty of Tallow Creek, I found pairs of swans gliding in unison across the unruffled waters. Surely that’s something to aim for next year!

THIS IS M.E. AT BLUES

MEETING MARLON WILLIAMS WHEN I SPOKE WITH SINGER/

S O N G W R I T E R , T H E Q U I E T LY S P O K E N MARLON WILLIAMS HE WAS IN MT EDEN IN AUCKLAND ON A CHURCH TO U R . T H I S I S A P E R F E C T LO C AT I O N FOR THE ACCLAIMED CROONER, WHO AC T U A L LY S TA RT E D S I N G I N G I N A C AT H E D R A L C H O I R .

So what was the album that first turned Marlon onto contemporary music? ‘The first album that really struck me is Big Pink by The Band, they had been playing with different artists, backing Dylan on his European tour – they went off to a cabin in the hills and recorded this seminal album of Americanah – for me that album is so solid and complete within itself – it’s sort of a blueprint for genius.’ So how does Marlon approach taking his album to the stage?

Finally, the question is answered about why he’s so bloody good.

Marlon admits to not always feeling comfortable on stage, which is a surprise, as he’s such a mesmerising performer.

Although Marlon laughs that his classical training can go both ways. ‘At times it’s both a help and a hindrance – it’s a help in that I know the science behind what I am doing and it’s a hindrance in that I know the science behind what I am doing! I had this voodoo paranoia about learning music. I have come to a place now where I know a lot of the rules and have a bit of appreciation of what it means to aesthetically break the rules. In the end it has helped me along.’ A New Zealand boy who gets homesick for his country if he’s away too long Williams is a passionate songwriter who prefers to craft his music on a whim rather than in long disciplined sessions.

A UNIQUE BLUESFEST SHOW AND THREE SPECIAL SIDESHOW PERFORMANCES HAVE JUST BEEN ANNOUNCED.

‘As a writer I pick up a melody and often a lyric out of nowhere and see where it takes me, I am not very self-directed as a songwriter, it ends up being something that I am as surprised by as anyone else. Trying to think of a consolidated piece of work is a task for me, I have to exert an abnormal amount of direction.’

‘Singing has always been about whatever my voice can do first and foremost’, says Marlon, ‘I guess I didn’t really engage in the singing properly until my voice broke, by the time that I joined the Catholic Cathedral Choir and started singing Mozart – so I was already a classical tenor, I feel lucky that I got my classical grounding. I would turn up on a Sunday morning and have a whole new 35-minute piece to sight-read – but it all sat within my range so all I needed to do was upskill my theory and basic knowledge of how to read music.’

PAGE 35

‘You record an album specific to a space and time and go out and tour on the back of that, unless you are doing a real concept album – I know a lot of people when they tour the album it has to be faithfully represented. I don’t approach it like that. I want to have that personal touch, something specific to the place and time, it’s the beauty of live music.’

‘It’s the general unease of performance that is the impetus to keep moving and the problem is whatever you say it becomes a part of your performance, it’s hard to become earnest. I don’t think many artists become confident, and there are so many factors that go into a live show, and whatever comes – we are all in this together, with all of this personal bullshit… In the end, it is you on stage – just another shadow of myself.’ Marlon Williams is joined by the Yarra Benders and support act Ben Salter at the Byron Community Centre on 15 November. Tickets at the venue.

Bluesfest is welcoming the iconic superstar rocker, singer-songwriter Melissa Etheridge for her This Is M.E. Australian tour, including her long-awaited Bluesfest debut on Sunday 27 March, 2016. This will be Melissa’s first visit to Australia since 2012. An Academy award and Grammy winning artist, Etheridge, will take the stage to perform songs from her new album, This is M.E, as well as some of her greatest hits like Come to My Window, I’m The Only One, Bring Me Some Water, Like the Way I Do and I Want To Come Over. Known for her iconic raspy, smoky vocals, profound lyrics and riveting stage presence, Melissa will share personal stories about her remarkable journey through life and the

inspiration behind some of her most beloved songs. Not only a blues rock megastar, songwriting hitmaker, and phenomenal guitarist, but tireless advocate for human rights and social change, Melissa Etheridge is a force and a talent whom organisers say they are honoured to have at Bluesfest and on tour around Australia. ‘Melissa Etheridge is coming to Bluesfest’, says festival director, Peter Noble. ‘She is a legend – an inspiration to so many – a simply brilliant live performer. She has won two Grammy awards and received 17 nominations. Melissa Etheridge’s set at Bluesfest will be remembered as one of the great performances. She is a leader, she is a great musician, a great campaigner for human rights, an environmentalist, a cancer survivor, it is simply an honour to present her at Bluesfest and on her Australian tour.’ Show details and more information can be found at bluesfesttouring.com.au.

DANCING THE HOUSE DOWN FOR OPENING NIGHT At the core are the Tedesco brothers, composer and guitarist and musical director Richard and Johnny the Principal dancer and choreographer.

Richard has just returned after an 8-month stint in Spain, with the brothers going into the studio to record a new album. ‘This is a whole new show we are doing – it came about last year, we were hanging out with some friends, we have colleagues in the jazz world, and all these guys had their instruments and started playing and said why don’t we do something, and so our new show is about a conversation between flamenco and other forms of music.’ But this isn’t fusion. This is flamenco in response to other forms.

FORMED IN 1990, ARTE KANELA I S W I D E LY ACC L A I M E D A S THE UNSURPASSED AND MOST EXCITING FORCE IN THE AUSTRALIAN FLAMENCO SCENE.

‘We didn’t want to do a fusion, we wanted to be able to have conversations within a flamenco form or structure because this does involve a lot of dance, it’s completely foreign to other musicians who don’t usually know how to deal with dance. We took into consideration the elements of dance as being like a note, this is how we started and we have been at it for a long time, and it started from scratch, we were in the studio a lot trying out ideas, it was open and honest and we created something cool.’ Johnny Tedesco has been dancing since he first learned to walk. Flamenco isn’t really something you learn, it’s something you are born into. It’s part of life for many Spanish families.

if we have a celebration, someone it will break out – that’s the way we express ourselves.

‘Flamenco has really taken off in the sense that a lot of other genres appreciate it, the world is becoming smaller I guess! ‘Flamenco is universal, you don’t have to understand a word they are singing about, it’s so emotive – it really reaches deep down – the guitar is like verses of poems from love to angst to joy in that poetic sense. ‘This show we aren’t going to have a vocalist, we have two guitarists and two dancers, we are taking the approach that the falsetta (the guitarist), when you listen to flamenco, it’s like a sequence – a melodic story, each guitarist plays their falsetta – the approach is to take that as a poem, when I hear that it is like a poem – two guitars, my brother and Nathan Slater, a friend who comes from the jazz world. The other dancer is Chantelle Cano.’ So what should we be expecting for Mullum Music Festival? ‘Pretty much a brand new show, I guess I will leave that up to the audience, for us it is about transmitting it and trying to communicate with the audience, visually it’s about that, it gives us the inspiration on stage to have fun and put out our story. Last time we were there we had such a good time – the sound was fantastic!’ Arte Kanela are one of the featured acts at the Mullum Music Festival’s opening night gala – don’t miss their electrifying performance.

Opening Night tickets are strictly limited and selling fast, so if you want ‘It comes from home, we had parties, my grandmother was a singer, my to be part of Mullum’s biggest party, get in quick! 19–22 November grandfather was a guitarist, I never said I want to dance – I just danced. in Mullumbimby.

TAURUS: This week’s Tauran high point is full moon in your sign, a powerful supermoon which asks if your deep needs are being recognised. Which of course isn’t anyone’s job but yours. Check in on what Bob Dylan calls that ‘restless, hungry feeling’, which is usually for soul food and emotional nourishment.

GEMINI: This week has important information for you about where you aren’t listening to your inner Twin. Set sensible goals by all means, but try to order your priorities so they’re more in alignment with your heart’s desires. Why settle for less? Once you make the choice, existence will step in to assist.

ARIES: This week’s lunar activity could trigger a startling

realisation which you feel deeply and respond to strongly. Focus on opportunity rather than loss, on moving forward towards solutions rather than staying locked in problems. Then, since energy flows where attention goes, new offers start popping up like mushrooms. Happy now?

CANCER: This week’s rough and tumble, hectic lunar energies with their intense emotional ebbs and flows suggest that you get as much wind-down, decompression time as possible. And even though holding on is what Cancerians are absolutely excellent at, be advised that letting go is currently the wiser course.

SAGITTARIUS: Saturn in your sign for the coming couple of years challenges you to identify weak links in your operating techniques that need developing, plus any tiny minor flaws in your awesome personality that may need refining. Sagittarius and Saturn are both teachers, so this week features themes of education and professional development.

CAPRICORN: As your ruling planet Saturn takes up residence in Capricorn’s twelfth house of slowdown and healing forgiveness, get ready for a reflective three-year exploration of the inner you – along with the possible sacrifice of some part of your persona. If you’ve experienced a loss, this week offers therapeutic closure.

LEO: With your ruling planet moving into a fellow fixedsign, it’s worthwhile speaking less and listening more. Being flexible – especially when it’s in your interests to let someone else win. Capitalise on this week’s advantageous career stars with strategic moves; you enjoy competition, but no need to make war.

VIRGO: Mars in Virgo wants to change the world. Jupiter in Virgo wants to educate the world. Venus in Virgo wants personal housekeeping: a self-enquiry into redecorating your room for improvement. Regarding all of which, does it really matter whether the glass is half full or half empty? Point is it’s refillable.

LIBRA: With your planet ruler Venus supporting energetic Mars and confidence-booster Jupiter in the sort-it-out sign of do the right thing, this busy week presses the start button on something you haven’t been quite ready till now to take on. Beneficial connections with like-minded others beckon.

SCORPIO: As the sun shines its light on your happy birthday month and personal zone of leadership, this week highlights all the progress you’ve made in mastering Saturn’s two-year long, hard look at yourself, and its sometimes gruelling boot camp. Now the identity crisis is over, it’s time for reinvention…

AQUARIUS: Yes, you space cadets are made of star stuff. Whose current address is earth, where accounts need to be settled. Sharing resources may make that easier to achieve this week – which is a good one for acknowledging the valuable contributions a partner, friend, group or mentor has made in your life.

PISCES: For your mutable sign, the present Saturn cycle initiates a long-term, total restructure of your personal and professional life to a newer, more mature shape. As this week’s planetary emphasis in your partnership zone begins the slow, thorough makeover, charm won’t be as effective an accessory as honesty.

QUEEN OF THE DESERT SCREENS DURING THE BRITISH FILM FESTIVAL AT PALACE BYRON BAY CINEMA – OCTOBER 29 TO NOVEMBER 18

cinema BY JOHN CAMPBELL

film, Youth, nominated for the Palme d’Or at this year’s Cannes film festival, and the follow up to his Academy award-winning film, The Great Beauty (2013). Following two old friends, retired composer Fred (Michael Caine) and film director Mick (Harvey Keitel), on vacation at a prestigious hotel in the Swiss Alps, the film is an introspective and thought-provoking, wry buddy comedy.

Donovan is not expected to make waves, but he goes by the book and, despite the general public’s hostility, is driven by those shiny ‘American values’ with which Spielberg is so enamoured. Hanks, with his knitted brow, is typically undaunted as the upright man who won’t be stood over, but though based on real events, he seems less convincing when the stage is relocated to the Cold War’s front line. As the infamous Wall is being constructed, a U2 surveillance pilot and a Yale economics student are held captive in East Berlin. Donovan is assigned the task of negotiating a trade of ‘their guy for ours’ and sent to the divided, wintry city to deal as an independent go-between with Russians and Germans (‘your countries’ names are too long,’ he says after grappling with the unabridged USSR and GDR). The intrigue and dark theatricality of these scenes have more of the Coens about them (all that’s missing is Christoph Waltz turning up as an interrogator), including an episode of terrific impact when Donovan witnesses a shooting from a train. Spielberg’s positivity reasserts itself in the patriotic ending to a film of tension and gritty realism, notwithstanding the title’s oddly undergraduate pun.

This is just the tip of the iceberg – The British Film Festival screens at Palace Byron Bay Cinema from October 29 to November 18. Tickets and programs available at box office or online at www. britishfilmfestival.com.au

BRIDGE OF SPIES BURNT This is a movie of two parts in which the former informs the latter while somehow remaining strangely detached from it. This might be due the not entirely compatible pairing of Steven Spielberg as director with Joel and Ethan Coen as co-writers. Spielberg is a supreme storyteller with a hearton-sleeve belief in the primacy of family and the lofty ideals enunciated in the American Constitution, while the Coens, at their most indulgent, tend to mock and bite the hand that feeds them. It opens in 1957, as tensions between the West and the Communist bloc are rising precariously. A brilliantly shot sequence has a Russian spy, Rudolf Abel (Mark Rylance), being pursued by CIA agents in the subway and on the streets of New York. After he is finally arrested, a humble insurance lawyer, James Donovan (Tom Hanks), is appointed as his defence counsel.

Festival, The Man Who Knew Infinity; this year’s BFI London Film Festival opening night selection, Suffragette; Queen of the Desert, from legendary director Werner Herzog; and Dare to be Wild, the true story of Irish heroine Mary Reynolds.

Bradley Cooper is Adam Jones, a celebrity chef (spare me). He is chatting up the beautiful Helene in a fast food joint, with the aim of hiring her to work as a cook in his kitchen. She is devoted to haute cuisine, but Adam confronts her with an utterly convincing and true demythologising of the cult of food snobbery – from whence you might expect John Wells’s movie to not fawn so slavishly over the ‘chef as genius’ paradigm. There is a lot of writing by numbers as we follow Adam’s troubled character arc (yawn) from ruination to redemption. He is a reformed junkie/alcoholic and you know that at a crisis will topple him off the wagon and jeopardise the progress he has made, just as you know for sure that the heavies to whom he owes money will give him a (deserved) hiding. You also have no doubt that he will get the girl (that surely can’t be a spoiler), but what I found almost inexplicable was that Helene would have anything to do with him. In the throes of a tanty and in front of her fellow employees, he grabs her violently by the scruff of the neck and bombards her with a torrent of abuse. Later, upon hearing some news that makes him sad, he abandons her at a swank function so that he can wander around a market feeling sorry for himself. Tony (played by the wonderful Daniel Brühl), the gay maître d suffering a long held, unrequited love for Adam, is similarly forgiving of the great man. And what the weirdly dressed Emma Thompson is doing in the mix taking blood samples from Adam is beyond me. Though filmed with panache, there are probably more quick-cut collages of meals being prepared than is necessary (George Harrison singing ‘clutching forks and knives to eat their bacon’ from ‘Piggies’ flew into my mind), but the surprise act of revenge is a beauty. It’s an okay movie, but not nearly as good as Ratatouille.

If Mr Bojangles was a bar of chocolate, then it would be a very strong-willed person who would not eat all the bar in one go. He is just that adorable. Like so many ginger boys, he is laid back, very friendly and easy going. Nothing seems to bother him, and he looks to be a happy cat, but the centre is no substitute for his own home, and he can’t wait. He lost his home when his human became gravely ill. All cats are desexed, vaccinated and microchipped.

The Subway Surf Series saw four new champions crowned last Sunday after a series of hotly contested finals in clean two-foot peaks at Bar Beach. Day one standout Mikey McDonagh (Lennox Head, NSW) dominated the field in the Under-18 Boys posting some mammoth scores for a healthy mix of traditional and innovative manoeuvres. McDonagh surfed well beyond his years in the blueribbon final and as a result left his closest rival Morgan Ciblic (Merewether) chasing a solid 9.31 wave score (out of a possible ten points) to take the win away. Despite being only 14-years-old, McDonagh opted to surf up a division to test his skills against a variety of older surfers. Morgan Ciblic (Merewether, NSW) kept the local Newcastle surfing community on their feet throughout the Under-16 Boys final, notching up a handful of excellent scores. The local natural footer synced his repertoire perfectly with the righthand peaks, smashing out a barrage of

mammoth hacks and in turn left his fellow finalists chasing two-wave combinations to take away his lead. Runnerup Sandon Whittaker (Avoca, NSW) and third place getter Connor Lee (Redhead, NSW) showed moments of brilliance, but were unable to claw themselves out of the combination situations. Bodhi Leigh-Jones (Avalon, NSW) put her fellow finalists on the ropes when she posted a near-perfect 9.83 wave score in the Under-16 Girls final. The Northern Beaches natural-footer never looked like slowing down after posting the score and as a result, runner-up Bella Wilton (Manly, NSW) was left chasing an elusive 9.54 wave score to take the lead, which unfortunately never came to fruition. Leigh-Jones, was able to back up her Under-16 performance, with a win in the Under-18 Girls final. Bodhi performed a multitude of giant hits to notch up a 13.50 heat total (out of a possible 20 points) and take the two wins

from the two finals. The main base for event two of the series was Merewether with backup locations of Dixon Park, Bar Beach and Newcastle. The 10-event 2015/2016 Subway Surf Series returned for its second season, with this weekend’s event, the second of three non-qualifying events leading up to the Subway Pro-Junior events, sanctioned by the World Surf League (WSL). The winners of the three non-qualifying events, catering to both 18 and under and 16 and under girls’ and boys’ divisions, will attend a Subway® Surf Camp at the Hurley Surfing Australia High Performance Centre at Casuarina. The Pro Junior events, which includes 18 and under boys and girls divisions, form part of the 2016 WSL Australasian Junior Qualifying Series (JQS), providing the winning athletes with an opportunity to win a coveted world title, at the WSL World Junior Championships in early 2017.

Be safe in all types of water New research released by Royal Life Saving Society – Australia shows almost 1,000 people have drowned in Australian rivers since 1 July 2002. Nationally over the past 13 years, 35% of river drowning deaths are known to have involved alcohol. The new research also shows 68 people have drowned in the Murray River in the last 13 years, making the Murray the number one river drowning black spot in Australia.

In New South Wales, rivers have claimed the lives of over 350 people since 1 July 2002. Rivers account for over one quarter of all drowning deaths in New South Wales (26%) over this period. Alcohol-related drownings account for over a third (35%) of all river drowning deaths in New South Wales over the last 13 years. Males account for 78% of all river drowning victims in New South Wales. Royal Life Saving, with

the support of the Federal government, is addressing these tragic statistics through a national drowning prevention and public awareness campaign called Respect the River. Respect the River was launched by the Hon Sussan Ley MP Minister for Health and Minister for Sport last Sunday on the banks of the Murray River at Albury.
