Byron Shire Council has received $50,000 from the NSW government to light up crime hotspots in the Bay’s CBD in an effort to make the area safer at night. The money comes on top of federal funding for lighting and CCTV cameras in other parts of the town, which are currently in the process of being installed. The new lighting will extend to Fletcher Street and laneways around Jonson and Lawson streets. Despite a range of projects to reduce alcohol-related violence in Byron Bay, including a late-night bus to get revellers home safely and a campaign to encourage safe partying, the rate of assaults (non-domestic violence) in the town has not significantly declined over the past five years. Justice and police minister Troy Grant (Nationals) said of the Safer Community Compact grant program: ‘Anyone who causes trouble in the CBD will be more visible, which will help ensure they are held to account.’

Byron Central Hospital to open without operating theatre Chris Dobney

A community meeting at Byron at Byron resort heard last Wednesday that while construction of Byron Central Hospital will come in on time and within budget, an operating theatre will not be part of the initial facilities and could be up to five years coming, Northern NSW Local Health District CEO Chris Crawford said NSW Health had again examined the possibility of a public operating theatre but that ‘modelling found there would only be demand for one to 1.5 days a week’.

He said that the department had since ‘sounded out’ private interest and would be looking to commence an Expressions of Interest process ‘in the next couple of months’. Mr Crawford said that if and when the operating theatre is built, public patients would be treated there at the government’s expense.

Cost approx $6–8m The operating theatre would cost around $6-8 million for a private contractor to build, he said. But even if it weren’t built in the short term, the groundwork would be laid for it to

be added in the future. Mr Crawford also admitted that the health district was examining other public/private partnership possibilities but had ruled out onsite GP and/or dentist rooms. He did reveal that the government was looking at a ‘hybrid’ public/private model for medical imaging, similar to a model that already exists at Tweed and Murwillumbah hospitals. But Mr Crawford’s comments drew the ire of local Health Services Union boss Jonathan Millman, who said from the audience the Tweed model had ‘failed’ and that as a result

of the private sector paying staff less, medical imaging at Tweed ‘effectively runs from nine to five, Monday to Friday’. Meanwhile, planning and performance officer for NNSW LHD, Maureen Lane, told the meeting that in the next fortnight a workforce plan will be unveiled. Ms Lane said a ‘minimal’ number of staff would ‘not be able to fit into the new design’, while emphasising that there would be a ‘number of new positions required including mental health professionals and emergency department continued on page 2

Surfer struck by lightning A man is fighting for his life in a Golod Coast hospital after he was struck by lightning while surfing at Suffolk Park on Sunday. The man is believed to be in his 30s and was surfing with friends who brought him into the shore. He was given CPR before paramedics arrived. NSW Ambulance told AAP news service the man was stabilised by paramedics after going into cardiac arrest. Brett Fasso from the Byron

Bay Board Riders’ Club told ABC radio they were holding a junior surfing contest about 100 metres from where the man was struck when the storm started. About 30 competitors aged from 10 to 16 years were gathered for the Byron Bay board riders competition on Suffolk Park beach. Organisers said the rain was so heavy they lost sight of those in the water and decided to call off the event.

Wallaby killed by wild dog on school grounds Chris Dobney

Students at Wilsons Creek Public School were greeted by a grizzly site last Friday, when they arrived to the remains of a young wallaby that had been attacked by a feral dog. Parent and documentary filmmaker David Bradbury says he witnessed the marsupial ‘being eaten by wild dog the size of an alsatian’ last Friday at around 5.45am. ‘I was upwind and it was dark so the dog didn’t spot me but he must have sensed my presence,’ he said. School principal Will Constable said he had placed a call to council, ‘as per the Department of Education protocol’. ‘Some of the kids were con-

cerned about what had happened. We had a chat about it and gave them a chance to talk about how they were feeling. We talked about appropriate ways to manage this sort of thing,’ Mr Constable added. Byron Shire Council’s director of sustainable environment and economy, Shannon Burt, said ‘Council has undertaken for a number of years a wild dog program in autumn and winter, prior to the spring breeding season. ‘However, the Local Land Services are the responsible authority for wild dog management,’ Ms Burt said.

Mullum Hospital Regarding the future of Mullum Hospital, Mr Crawford said that his department had talked to Byron Shire Council about the best way to go about the sales. He said he had requested the government redirect money from the sales towards ‘the remediation of the Mullumbimby Hospital site and the removal of asbestos, which has been shown to be in soil around the site as well as in the fabric of the building.’

Byron Farmers’ Market raises $2k for Liberation Larder The Byron Farmers’ Market continued its tradition of supporting local organisations with a recent $2,000 donation to the Liberation Larder. Larder president Helen Hamilton says it may go towards a new freezer ‘to replace the upright one that died’, or it could buy a much-needed

new blender or pay for shelving in a shared coolroom… ‘We can make $2,000 go a long way,’ Ms Hamilton said Byron Farmers’ Market has supported the Larder for six years. The Larder provides around 500 to 600 meals a week to the homeless and hungry in the Shire.

Two local lads are taking their expertise to Laos in an effort to support the country’s growing need for medical help. Shae Tripp, who went to both Mullum and Byron High, along with Lismore High boy Tom Boland, is studying at the Notre Dame School of Medicine in Sydney. Shae says, ‘Tom and I will be volunteering with other students from Notre Dame as part of a university initiative to address the social inequalities that exist both domestically and internationally today. We elected to travel to Laos, a Southeast Asian country that neighbours both Vietnam and Thailand.’ ‘In addition to critical shortages of healthcare workers, Laotians suffer higher

maternal death rates, reduced quality of life scores and significantly increased poverty rates.’ ‘Our time will be spent in a rehabilitation clinic located in the capital, Vientiane. This clinic is responsible for seeing the most severely disadvantaged individuals with physical and neurological treatment who are in need of urgent medical care.’ To help the medicos on their way, they are pursuing fundraising. ‘This is a project in our holiday time and many of us are taking out small loans in order to pay for the trip’, says Shae. ‘We are all extremely committed to medical volunteering in developing countries so it is the start of something very special.’ To donate, visit their fundraising page at www. gofundme.com/vb5aj3n8.

Concerns over WB DCP Former Byron Shire mayor and NSW MLC Jan Barham (Greens) has responded to planning minister Rob Stokes over proposed changes to the zoning uses for the West Byron development. She told Mr Stokes in a letter, dated November 4, that the landowners are seeking approval to address infrastructure-related issues that fall in environmental zonings. ‘The West Byron Development Control Plan (DCP) is currently on public exhibition and these important issues

must be resolved. The most responsible way to deal with the situation of infrastructure and associated earthworks is to have them identified in the DCP for location within the residential zones.’ Ms Barham told The Echo, ‘It’s outrageous that at this point, after a flawed approval process, the issues of infrastructure are raised that still fail to consider the significant issues of acid sulfate soils and seek to downgrade the protection of environmental zones.’

Conquering the stigma of disability Story & photo Eve Jeffery

When Misa Alexander’s son Hugo became the ‘weird kid’ at his daycare who flapped his arms and didn’t have any friends, Misa decided she needed to make a change. Hugo has Autism Spectrum Disorder and Misa knew she could not stand by as her child struggled to fit into a world designed for the mainstream student. Alexander joined forces with local teacher Erin Knutt and the pair began creating a picture book that will change the way children view disabilities. The book Fergus and Delilah is about Fergus, a lovable funny boy who is wired a bit differently from his friend De-

Erin and Hugo with mum Misa.

The recent Land and Environment Court case mounted by OSCA challenging the validity of the land reclassiﬁcation of the former ‘Roundhouse’ site was dismissed by Justice Pain who described aspects of the applicant’s arguments as “particularly weak”, made “no sense” and didn’t “get to ﬁrst base”.

Mal and Scomo’s tax juggling act

Volume 30 #22

November 11, 2015

A fracas with fiefdoms The Baird government are again trying to undermine whatever is left of the democratic process – this week they are hoping to override Local Environment Plans (LEPs) with a Bill being presented to parliament this week. If passed it could become law. Effectively it’s a bold grab for more power, diminishing even further the control that the state’s 152 councils Will Lucy be soon have over their planning decisions. Despite its innocuous name, The making every planning decision in NSW? Greater Sydney Commission Bill’s Photo www.zimbio.com stated ‘objective’ is to amend the NSW Planning Act ‘to authorise [a proposed] Commission to make local environmental plans under that Act for the Greater Sydney Region… and other regions declared by the Minister.’ The key words here are ‘Other regions declared by the Minister’, which indicate this is aimed more broadly than just Sydney. At least that language is fairly clear, unlike the proposed regulatory oversight or safeguards attached to the Bill. One of the few regulations within the Bill is written with clunky and waffly wording, which is handy when you want a plume of bureaucratic smoke and a smudgy mirror. In Part 4, number 26 of the Bill it says, ‘The governor may make regulations, not inconsistent with this Act, for or with respect to any matter that by this Act is required or permitted to be prescribed or that is necessary or convenient to be prescribed for carrying out or giving effect to this Act.’ Clear as mud. And as for any review, the public would have to wait five years! It’s a full-blown bureaucratic love fest, which would see a Sydney-specific planning panel and endless committees. Of course it is stacked in the minister’s favour: Schedule 3, for example, says the minister would appoint three committee members while the relevent council would appoint two. And guess who is tipped as the commissioner? The newly minted prime minister’s wife, Lucy! Meanwhile Fairfax reported on October 31 that NSW Labor has said it would support the commission, ‘and opposition leader Luke Foley has proposed a better-resourced and more independent organisation than that proposed by the government.’ This Bill comes a week after the government’s push to make the states 152 council’s ‘Fit For The Future’ was found to be based on a flawed process by a parlimentary inquiry. The question is – how does this Bill provide any sort of benefit for a community fighting development pressures? And why no oversight and transparency? Hans Lovejoy, editor

Transfield clarification In last week’s Mungo MacCallum’s opinion piece, Iron Ladyboy storms Europe, it was stated that Transfield had cancelled the Save The Children Fund. In fact, the Australian government had cancelled the Save The Children Fund contract and awarded it to Transfield, who run the Regional Processing Centres on Naru.

he new comedy crosstalk duo of Malcolm Turnbull and Scott Morrison have launched a routine to massage the longsuffering electorate to accept whatever new tax regime eventually emerges. But to the dismay of the hard-line critics, it is more of a gentle rub down than the vigorous pummelling that was hoped for and indeed demanded. Playing Mr Interlocutor to his prime minister’s Mr Bones, Morrison insists that any extra revenue must be given, at the first priority, to the most needy and vulnerable; Turnbull chimes in with the edict that any changes must be seen to be fair. Well what kind of nambypamby girly talk is this? What do we want? Massive tax cuts! When do we want them? Constantly! After all, looked at in an economically rational light, the most needy and vulnerable are those who have to endure the highest tax brackets; it is for that reason, not for pure insensate greed, that they have to resort to lurks and perks like superannuation concessions, capital gains rorts, negative gearing, family trusts and all the shenanigans complaisant governments have offered them. And then there is company tax – of course people shift as much as possible of it to havens in the Bahamas (best not to specify the Cayman Islands). The only point of an increase in the GST is to lower progressive taxes so as to encourage – perhaps not progressive change, that would be a touch contradictory – but to bring us growth and jobs, or, as we now call the slogan, work, save, invest! Grab everything you can and sit on it! Isn’t that the free-enterprise society Turnbull is meant to represent?

And by the way, none of this is to suggest that we are in any way willing to forgo our hardwon rorts – after all, they are an important part of incentivisation, or whatever we currently call it. No, we are the lifters – we lift anything that isn’t nailed down. If there are cuts to be made, then there are plenty of bludgers around to make them – at least there are if we read the tabloids and listen to the shock jocks, and that is what democracy is all about. So, end of story: Turnbull and Morrison should just give us the money and butt out. But

The priority, Morrison maintains, is to cut income tax and, preferably, company taxes as well.

by Mungo MacCallum alas, it is not going to be as simple as that. Morrison has his own formula: he is not about to rush to failure. Indeed, he has says his model is to follow the method he used to stop the boats, to plan meticulously before he strikes. This presumably means that we can expect obsessive secrecy, deviousness, misdirection and at times outright deceit, but whatever it takes – it is all about outcomes, after all. So for the moment the official government line is that it is still in the conversational stage; the idea is to keep everyone talking, and Morrison will keep listening. And some time before the next election the plan will emerge, and everyone will say, okay, fair enough, and vote for it. Well, everyone except Bill Shorten, and he has simply dropped out of the debate by his refusal to countenance increases in the GST. But hang on – Shorten in-

sists that he wants to be part of the debate – that he is ready and eager to bring it on. So surely ruling out the GST is not the beginning and end of Morrison’s conversation? Is it, in fact, the only option on the what is claimed to be a very big table? Because if it is, we might as well go back to the pub; there is nothing more to be said. The war is over; all that is left is to divide the spoils. But that in itself will be a major problem for the government. John Howard and his successors have always told us that the GST is a state tax: although the Com-

monwealth collects it, it is only there as the bag man. The states are the ones who get the proceeds. But if this is the case, any increase to the GST should go to the states as well, and that is what the premiers – or at least most of them – have been saying: they want at least some of the cuts in schools and hospitals that Tony Abbott ripped out of them after the 2014 election to be restored, and if they aren’t, then no deal. There is a general acceptance, which Turnbull declares as crucial, that there would be some form of compensation for low-income earners and pensioners, but after that, the vast bulk of the loot would got to the states. Oh no, says Morrison; he is not at all inclined to hand over a bucket of money to the penurious premiers; they would have to take a hard look at their own budgets. The clear implication is that

some of the state taxes he dislikes – payroll tax and stamp duty among them – would have to go. But if that happened, there would be very little left to repair the depredations visited on the health and education sectors. And if the states reject the GST hike – still worse, campaign against it – the politics simply will not add up. And Morrison has another non-negotiable position: there can not be an overall increase in the tax take. Any hope of reducing the debt and deficit, the original aim of the whole exercise, has long since been abandoned: the only imperative now is to hold the line. Yet the priority, Morrison maintains, is to cut income tax and, preferably, company taxes as well. The scourge of bracket creep (which, it must be admitted, sounds pretty unsavoury, if not scatological) must be curbed. Of course, even if it is, the solution will only be a temporary one; inflation will not stand still forever. But still, we can hold the line, at least until the next election. So if Morrison is to be taken at his word (always a risky assumption) the package will consist primarily of a reduction in income tax to be paid for by a rise in the GST – a progressive tax will be turned into a regressive one, and oneoff compensation for the needy will not reverse what is, in essence, a switch of resources from the poor to the rich. Whether Turnbull can spin that as fair is problematical. But in any case, this kind of churn seems a pretty dismal result for what is likely to produce a massive social and political upheaval. Once again, the great tax reform revolution seems destined to end with a whimper – or perhaps just a phut.

I laughed, I cried I couldn’t disagree more with John Campbell’s review of The Dressmaker. This movie was a delight of caricatures and a deeply moving testament to many of us growing up in the 1950s. In John’s previous words, ‘stories close to our own experience draw on and are sustained by deep emotional springs’. Obviously John and his cinema partner didn’t grow up in a toxic town with uneducated and vindictive people. Nor have they ever met wonderful characters the like of whom Hugo Weaving and Judy Davis portrayed. I cried with recognition and desire for revenge, I laughed with satisfaction as my past tormentors got their comeuppance and I remember that place and those people very well. I loved the outrageous fashion (we could all lift our game I reckon).

Of course Tilly had to return, some things haunt you. And Teddy, well, he was every girl’s dream. The Dressmaker is a terrific movie, ie John is maybe a little too young and privileged to appreciate it. Fay Hardy (haha look at me now, she says smugly) Lennox Head

Expand the options When preparing the Coastal Zone Management Plan, why does Byron Shire Council rely only on engineering reports? Under the guise of Belongil coastal ‘adaptive management’, the latest advice recommends building: ‘stage 1. seawall with walkway; stage 2a. an initial self-filling trial groyne; stage 2b additional groynes; and stage 3 small scale sand nourishment.’ The Powerpoint is online at the Council website (www.byron.nsw.gov.au/

coastal-hazard-management-study-for-the-byronbay-embayment ). It makes unsubstantiated claims such as residents only value the beach and Belongil waterway for recreation, never thinking we value their ecosystem services too: flood mitigation, pollution repair, coastal and marine biodiversity. Another claim is that planned retreat only benefits tourists and is financed only by Belongil landowners. This ignores the obvious fact that the entire community is involved with not only the retreat but the entire social and environmental re-organisation of the sand spit as well as other coastal places in the shire. Finally, the report projects the costs of the engineering as ‘Landowners: $23 million, Council and State $6 million each’. This con-

How to get charged for what you never did and plead guilty to walk free: a true story about saliva drug testing. On Monday last week I spent an interesting few hours in Lismore court. I supported a friend of mine who, after being saliva tested, was charged with driving a motor vehicle with illicit drugs in his blood. After testing positive for weed at a roadside testing, he had to go to the police station to take another test, which showed negative. Nevertheless this test was sent to Sydney for a ‘really sophisticated test’ as the magistrate put it, and guess what? That came out positive as well! Now this is a miracle, a swindle or plainly a faulty test because my friend never, really never, and I would swear on that, consumes any weed. How did it get into his saliva is still unknown to this day. Some people suggest that THC can easily be absorbed as a passive smoker, or by absorption through touching something that someone else, with THC in their system, has touched before. The company who makes the saliva tests (Draeger) prides itself on their website

to get drug detection done meticulously. These are their words to a little cartoon on their site: ‘We are finding the needle in the haystack! Detecting THC to 0.000 000 05 gram.’ Does it make sense to drag people with minuscule amounts away from their jobs, into court and clogging up local courts with this? I don’t think so and the magistrate did not either. In the courtroom I witnessed six other saliva drugtesting cases before my friend’s case. Every case was dismissed using ‘section 10’. This can happen if you plead guilty, it’s your first drug offence and if you have a reasonably clean driving record. Any person who got a test with a false result faces a dilemma though. If they plead not guilty it is very unpredictable what is going to happen next. If they plead guilty they will be let off. So my friend pleaded guilty for an offence that he did not commit – case dismissed! The only trouble is, if he gets pulled up within the next five years, gets tested and comes out positive, the first offence will be counted also. It can happen to anyone to be tested, and there is no absolutely sure way to protect yourself from testing positive because the saliva tests are not reliable and consistent in their results. You could test

positive first, then negative and then positive again, like my friend and some of the others I saw in court today. Such a waste of resources, time and energy! The first test costs at least $40, and I don’t know how much the others cost. Police are wasting their time for useless roadside tests and the court system is clogged up with petty stuff. And as an ‘offender’ if you don’t get a reasonable magistrate, you’ll end up losing your driving licence for a while, which has huge implications in a place with very limited public transport. I know people who lost their job and even their home. Refraining from pot smoking does not necessarily keep you out of trouble either, as with my friend. Another weird fact is that the offence was ‘illicit drugs in his blood’ – yet no blood was taken! It has been reported that some people who are chemically sensitive showed allergic reactions after taking tests and would not do so again, unless they were told exactly what is in the tests. The highway police have no fact sheet about the tests and do not know the active ingredients. So be careful, brothers and sisters, and mentally prepare yourselves for the occasion.

This was probably owing to the cost and time involved and the greater financial resources of cynical absentee owners compared to a cash-strapped council. Now Council is proposing to legalise holiday letting in residential areas with restrictions including higher rates, registration with Council and the name of the owner/manager required to be displayed on a sign on the property with a 24/7 response to complaints in 30 minutes required, among others. This sounds good on paper but there is to be a massive loophole, an elephant in the room, which is the proposed exemption from all the new requirements for properties that are holiday let for 90 days a year or less. That’s three months! It’s obvious that unscrupulous landlords will simply cherrypick the most lucrative 90 days, eg summer holidays, etc and be closed for the rest of the time. Then it will still be game

Holiday let loophole

The council backed down on creating a designated tourism zone for holiday letting and gave up on prosecuting blatantly miscreant holiday let proprietors in residential areas despite holiday letting in residential areas being ruled illegal by courts in other beachside local government areas.

netdaily.net.au on with uncaring landlords and arrogant, sense-of-entitlement tenants still disrupting residential neighbourhoods, free of all legal constraints. Trench warfare and guerrilla tactics will be needed to fight back. Everyone needs now to send in submissions to Council to not allow this loophole and to make all holiday lets be registered and subject to the same control conditions. Jim Rogers Byron Bay

Let the children play

Dear Council, staff and particularly the mayor, a renowned family man: I draw your attention to a true Mullumbimby gem adjacent to Council Chambers across the bitumised train track. An ancient children’s playground that provides a much-needed safe space in this urbanised bustling township constantly whirring with the onset of modernity. Somewhat unkempt but possessing items of updated play equipment it is kiddie heaven. But it is not that safe. It lies sandwiched between roads. There simply is no fence. Will the council attend to this matter before their legal eagles need to look at their insurance liabilities and that all-pervasive element duty of care? It seems to me that there is indeed a recklessness to the playground’s current state of safety. On this safety aspect I commend parents to the Tallowood playground, a state-of-the-art fenced facility. By the way, there is also another hidden gem of a playground at the northern end of Stuart Street near the river. Again the same safety concerns exist: simply a lack of competent fencing. I could go on to mention the lack of water fountains, shaded areas, all-weather soft-padded mattings, etc, etc. In parental concern, Darryl Shostak Mullumbimby

A visit to planet Cuba

There are some ads in Cuba: this hole-in-the-wall bar borrows an international logo for a local drink. And hundreds of bars have small signs claiming that Ernest Hemingway drank there. The droll slogan at one hipster bar, however, admits ‘Hemingway never came here’.

Phillip Frazer

It’s been six weeks since I spent 12 days in Cuba – just enough time to get why it felt more like visiting another planet than another country (and I’ve visited 32 of those). Cuba is about 140km from Florida, but for 55 years the USA has forbidden its citizens from visiting the largest island in the Caribbean, or from spending a single cent on anything Cuban. This is in retaliation for the 1959 revolution in which the Castro brothers and a few thousand followers took back their country and sent the Yanks packing, leaving behind their fancy cars and a few hotels built by and for the American mafia. What my trip taught me is that this blockade has defined what Cuba is today more than Karl Marx, Fidel, the Soviet Union, or any other single force has. When I told friends I was going to Cuba they understood, on some level, how big a deal the blockade has been, because everyone

by Ian Rogers Play at Byron Services Club, Mon 7pm The World Youth Championships have been a happy hunting ground for Australia in younger age groups, with Bobby Cheng’s gold medal in the World U/12 Championship six years ago the highlight. However, Australia’s top juniors tend to become tied up with school in their teen years while their overseas rivals may have turned professional, meaning that strong performances by Australians in the U/16 and U/18 age groups have been few and far between. The 2013 Youth Olympiad in Chongqing was the first sign that the new generation of Australian juniors could hold their own even in older age categories, Australia missing a tie for second in the U/16 team event due to a 1.5-2.5 loss to Russia in the final round. On Thursday, at the World Youth Championships in Halkidiki, Australia’s Justin Tan was able to avenge that defeat, beating Kiril Alekseenko in the final round of the U/18 division to cost the Russian Grandmaster

said: Yes, you should go now before Obama opens it up and it gets swamped and spoiled by the Yanquis. The assumption everyone shared was that the Cuban people are blind to the tsunami that is poised to engulf them. We all know it but they don’t. But they do – they get it. They more than anyone know how hard it is to resist Yanqui culture, money, and power, because they did it in 1959 and again in 1961 when the US mercenary force invaded at the Bay of Pigs, and lost. a gold medal and to secure a tie for fourth place for himself, Australia’s best result in that event in the modern era. (Rishi Sardana, an Indian player who in search of greater opportunities has changed his flag to Australia, also finished tied for fourth but Australia can take little credit for that fine perfrmance.) India dominated in Greece, taking five gold medals in the 12 categories – U/8 to U/18, open and girls – while Russia, China and the US could not manage a single gold between them.

When I planned this trip for me and my daughter Zane – she’s 25 and lives in Florida – I did my usual web-surf for off-the-track lodgings and adventures, but soon realised that Cuba doesn’t have the cacophony of choices just about everywhere else has. In fact, joining a guided tour for the first time in my life looked like a top notion, specifically the tour offered by an Australian outfit called Cuban Adventures.

Cuban life stories They drive brand-new Chinese buses, their guides are Cubans with engaging life stories, they put you up in home-stays every night, and they mix the gorgeous Caribbean beach visits with trips up the mountains to Santa Clara where Che’s army of men and women guerillas captured a trainload of weapons from the dictator Batista’s troops, and advanced on Habana for a triumphant reunion with Castro, as Batista fled the country back in 1959. The Aussie tour team also delivered the ‘environmentally and socially responsible travel’ they promised. Over our 11 days Zane and I ate breakfasts in our families’ homes, dinners in restaurants we discovered in back alleys, and the most memorable meal on a hillside organic farm overlooking the radiant green val-

leys of Vinales. We talked and laughed with our fellow touristas – two Irish gals, three American women my age, and a bonzer environmental official from Wagga Wagga named Chris. We listened to our guide Diosbel (yep, beautiful god) tell stories and sing songs of revolution, carefully sidestepping political land mines all the way. Throughout all this, in the lovingly tended houses and meticulously maintained public places that used to be private, what was most present and most compelling was what was missing.

No ads, no malls There were no adverts, no billboards for stuff along the highways (though a few portraits of Jose Marti and Che with fearless peasants and workers), no jingles on the radio or TV about Toyotas or toothpaste, no garish signs on shopfronts or malls – no malls! The 55-year blockade has spared Cuba and its people the plagues of obsessive consumption and accumulation. Not much recorded music pollutes public airspace either – people play music live in cafes, plazas, and on cobblestoned streets. This is what gives the place its other-planetness. Where else are there buildings and streets, fields and rivers, airwaves and byways in which the public space is not for sale or rent to the highest bidder, to fill them with messages, images, and noises unasked-for and unwanted? You share this country with other people, not mediated by the fog of artificial relationships. Warning: even though I ticked Cuba on my Westpac online banking and it gave the okay, they are beholden to American Express, which still enforces the US blockade, so Westpac cards are useless there.

SATHYA SAI SCHOOL INFORMATION SESSION

Criminologists – and tabloids – in the UK are intrigued by the theory that Jack the Ripper who terrorised Whitechapel in 1888 was in fact the failed priest and poet Francis Thompson, whose best-known work is The Hound of Heaven. The author of the theory is a Mullumbimby local.

A Mullumbimby local believes he has finally solved one of the most enduring murder mysteries of our time – the identity of London’s notorious ‘Jack the Ripper’. Richard Patterson, a Byron Shire English teacher, has reignited interest in the 1888 murders of five prostitutes in London with his claim that the serial killer was in fact a respected English poet named Francis Thompson. Mr Patterson, who has spent more than 20 years researching his theory, claims that Thompson, a failed medical student, had the surgical skills and motivation to be the killer. Mr Patterson claims Thompson, from Preston, Lancashire, not only wrote about killing women, but also had close links to at least one prostitute in the area. According to the theory, Thompson had moved to London and formed a relationship with the prostitute while he was destitute, but was dumped by her after his poems began to be published. This sparked his hatred for the city’s sex workers, which led to the killings of at least five in the east end of London. Mr Patterson first developed the theory in 1997 when he was a student at Mel- Richard Patterson standing outside Francis Thompson’s bourne’s La Trobe University birthplace in Preston, Lancashire. after reading a collection of since spoken to a number of garded for many years, with Thompson’s poems.

where he visited Thompson’s hometown of Preston, and to America, to view a collection of the poet’s letters. ‘The big discovery came this year when I was able to establish that Thompson was there [in the areas the murders took place], and that he always carried a knife,’ Mr Patterson told The Echo. Mr Patterson’s theory has sparked interest across the United Kingdom this week. Articles have appeared in some of the UK’s largest newspapers, including the Daily Mail, which has a readership of 7.5 million people, and the Express, which goes out to 6.8 million people. His theory has also been the subject of a report on the BBC. Now Mr Patterson is hoping to find an Australian publisher to help him finish his proposed book, Francis Thompson – Ripper Suspect. ‘I want an Australian publisher because I like the idea that through the internet we can now have worldwide influence,’ he said. ‘I want an editor who can help me in the traditional way of preparing a book.’ Mr Patterson has been invited to a Jack the Ripper conference in London next year, and is hoping to have his book published. He has created a website that details his theory (www. francisjthompson.com), and provides a first chapter, but promises that there is much more to the story waiting to be told.

Richard Patterson’s website gives this extract from Thompson’s unpublished poem Nightmare of the Witch Babies, written before October 1886. It is about a man who slices open the stomachs of unclean women in the pretence of finding witch fetuses.

These guys aim to get people signed up to a course, assuring them that the costs are covered through the Commonwealth government’s VET FEE-HELP assistance scheme, and offering a free laptop. The latter offer of a laptop was vehemently denied after I challenged them; however, I know exactly what I heard when one of the MDNC volunteers was approached. When challenged these guys were aggressive and obnoxious, one threatened to continue to ‘help’ people on the footpath to avoid being on Neighbourhood Centre property. They were indignant that that we would not be supportive of their ‘helping’ and endorse their presence. They simply did not get it that by preying on the vulnerable on MDNC property there was an implication that we were endorsing them. They have never sought approval or permission. These ‘online’ courses do not provide support and are often not appropriate for people who are struggling with literacy, mild disability, or simply have not had a lot

Stop in the name of Love… at Byron Fresh Café Story and photos by Caz Parker

Vintage Schweppes bottles light up to spell LOVE above a timber ‘love seat’. This is becoming a popular Instragrammable Byron attraction. It’s inspired the new motto ‘Stop, in the name of Love’ and adds a touch of Bohemian romance to the recently renovated Byron Fresh Café. The impressive transformation of Fresh took just 2½ weeks. Owner Markus Hofer has high praise for builder Jess Wagner [known as Rex] and local willing tradies. Markus says, ‘We wanted a space that would endure over time and be suitable for dining at all times of the day as we are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It had to be distinctively Byron [in style]. We chose Nyree MacKenzie as the designer because she understands Byron and its trends. She’s a master at using discarded materials, which other people wouldn’t think to use, to create beautiful spaces.’ Nyree describes the decor as ‘rough luxe’. ‘I wanted Fresh to feel like a home, timeless and cosy, where you feel relaxed,’ says Nyree. The bones of the building form a beach cottage from a bygone era. It features rustic elements blended with elegance. Gigantic ornate doors, floor-to-ceiling salvaged pillars, oldworld lamps, decorative wrought iron, and exotic floor tiles provide pops of grandeur amid the distressed weatherboard walls. Sitting on prime Byron real estate, street-side wining and

dining at Fresh provides the hottest seats in town for watching the Byronistic passing parade. The buoyant buzz continues inside in more intimate split-level zones. All nooks and crannies are well catered for by the energetic service team. Service is also zippy from the new whiz-bang kitchen and bar. Healthy ingredients are the backbone of Chef Lucas Becker’s flavour-packed menu. The diverse offerings include share plates, satisfying salads, zestful seafood, bulging burgers and desserts well worth the plunge. My choice of succulent grass-fed yearling eye fillet cloaked with seasoned butter, tomato relish, kipfler potatoes, and broccolini lived up to the waiter’s confident recommendation. The new Takeaway Booth offers tantalising breakfast and lunch treats. Haloumi rolls, zen burgers, brownies, berrylicious smoothies, and chai lattes are tastebud favourites. The adjacent mini-bakery wall teases the eyes with plump sourdough loaves and buttery pastries baked daily by The Bread Social from The Farm. Scented romance spills onto the sidewalk with fresh flowers wrapped in Love printed paper.

Excellence in housing recognised Heanesbuilt has taken out the top honour at the Housing Industry Association (HIA) Gold Coast and Northern Rivers Housing Awards, winning the ‘2015 Home of the Year’.

where I have no doubt they will be very competitive. ‘The annual housing awards continue to be a popular concept with a record number of attendees at the

event this year. Winning an award demonstrates excellence in design, construction and professionalism and is therefore an important indicator for consumers when choosing a builder.’

LI ST IN

The two–storey modern concrete home met all the elements of the design brief, to a standard that led judges to comment that the home was an ‘exceptional contemporary designed residence, with stunning detail and finished to perfection’. The project called for a modern home that was built to withstand

harsh Australian and marine conditions that are prevalent where it was to be located. This challenge was answered with a predominant use of stone, concrete and hardwood timber throughout the project. The design maximises the use of space on a small block, allowing for multiple living spaces to amplify liveability for the clients. A strong focus was put on the proximity to Wategos Beach, with the design allowing for water views from every room. HIA regional executive director for the Gold Coast Northern Rivers Region Toni Bull congratulated Heanesbuilt for their achievement. ‘Heanesbuilt are a multiple award winner, and it is easy to see why with this stunning construction,’ he said ‘From these awards, the builder will now be eligible to compete in the Australian Housing Awards in 2016,

Fast forward to 2015, some thirty years later, when Forster has released an impressive new solo album Songs to Play, a clever and inspired suburban observation recorded in the sanctuary of Mt Nebo, just 20 minutes away from Forster’s Brisbane residence. It’s been seven years since we’ve heard from Forster, who quietly prepared a Go Betweens box set, recorded Brisbane bands such as John Steel Singers and Half Way, and engaged in a stint for The Monthly as the music reviewer. So why so long between songs? ‘I wanted some silence,’ says Forster. ‘I knew this record was going to be a first step in another part of my career; the best way to do that is to let time go by.’ In a culture obsessed with right now, with social media and riding the zeitgeist like some curling wave, a sevenyear sabbatical flies in the face of 2016 cultural thinking. But I guess that’s the charm of Forster. He’s best in analog. He’s comfortable with the spaces in between. It’s a kind of selfassurance and confidence that

oozes out of Songs to Play. This is not a musician looking for your approval. ‘I had faith it was the right decision, and it was tough financially, but I just thought it’s what I wanted to do, and the songs I had for quite a while – they were written between 2008 and 2010. I was working on a Go Betweens box set, which put it back a year or two longer, but by then I knew what I wanted. I had the songs and I had the musicians.’ Forster chose to record at Wild Mountain Sound in Brisbane’s Mount Nebo. ‘I knew the album was performance based, so we recorded in a house with different musicians in different rooms playing together. We wanted to come back in the room and look at the floor and listen, not watch the graph on a screen, but really listen. ‘The last two albums I did in 2004 and 2007 were digital. We were looking at the screen all the time. I am a singer/songwriter; the type of music I do goes with analog. ProTools is great if you are doing chopped-up R&B or something for the charts where

you need the quick editing, which is fine for them.

‘Also the other thing with analog is that we only had 20 tracks. Some albums you hear it becomes really dense – the music is really thick.’ In the track Let Me Imagine You Forster requests, ‘please don’t twitter… Let me imagine you’. The track reflects the loss of romance, the place of imagining that exists without the instant gratification of Facebook posts and Twitter feeds. ‘I think there is less space for people to make unusual connections and to miss out on something – or to dream about something. You need space to make connections yourself. Maybe being blitzed with information is too much, and having blanks or not knowing things is maybe a good thing – you need room to think and you need room to come up with new ideas.’ That was also part of the reason Forster chose Mt Nebo to record his new album. ‘The great thing about Mt Nebo is that it’s an hour from the centre of the city but you feel like you are eight hours away. It’s an amazing feeling, it’s another world, it’s where I wanted to take the album because when you walk outside it’s just still, it’s a no-pressure situation to be in. It’s timeless.’ After recording their album Forster invited the John Steel Singers to be part of the process, playing and assisting on his new album. ‘It was good for them; they are

30 years younger than I. They had never done an analog album before. They are both students of rock history, so they have good knowledge of recordings from the 60s and 70s and a lot of the music they love is in the analog sphere. They were very hands on with the mixing. They really enjoyed it. I wanted them to get involved. There is already a hell of a lot of me in the album so I wanted Scott and Luke to bring their musical flavours, not just play bass and guitar.’ Forster is looking forward to coming to Mullum Music Festival where he will be playing solo. He says, ‘This is an album where I want to play all the songs. Every album you put out when you do a concert you might play four or five songs from it but Music to Play is an album that I want to play live. It’s something you could play with a band or on a onestring banjo and it would still sound good.’ Forster is also looking forward to coming to Mullumbimby. ‘I adore it down there. Last time I was there – it would have been eight years ago – I was in Santos and the only other people in the shop was John Butler and his wife; it’s that kind of town.’

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like to think about who makes my clothes. I am sitting here in my $9 one-shoulder dress I bought online. I was so impressed with the price I bought three. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I got three frocks for $27 and I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even have to leave the house. The woman who made this dress probably doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even have a house. You couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make a dress like this in Australia for $9. My kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; daily canteen budget is $10. How can fabric and labour cost $9? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually not possible. If the dress could be sewn in one minute and the fabric were bought at 50c, then perhaps. But even then no Australian worker is going to be putting out 60 frocks an hour.

the same fabric handled by some poor Chinese garment worker squatting beside her overlocker in the kitchen with her baby close by. She gets paid by the piece. There is an enormous pile of nylon oneshoulder dress cutouts in a box in the corner that she pulls out and feeds through her machine.

Part of her wonders why rich western women would only want to wear a dress with one sleeve. She thinks rich women must be stupid. Or perhaps these dresses are for rich onearmed women? This makes her feel more purpose in her work. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1am and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been at her machine for 12 hours when she sews my dressâ&#x20AC;Ś you see when I think like that I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wear my No, my cheap dress was clearly $9 dress. That sense of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I nailed it on eBay with a bargainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pride made in the Third World. My fat affluent arse now touches just floats out the window and

This is how places like Walmart make their profit.

The northern rivers community will come together on Sunday for a benefit gig to celebrate environmental community legal centre EDO NSWâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 30 years of protecting the environment through law.

The benefit gig at the Hotel Brunswick will feature renowned local acts Bobby Alu and the Palm Royale, Jimmy Willing and the Real Gone Hick-Ups, Ziggy Alberts, and Sara Tindley. There will also be speeches from Aboriginal elder and EDO NSW client Mick Ryan and Byron Shire mayor Simon Richardson, plus the chance to win great raffle prizes. 3â&#x20AC;&#x201C;8.30pm. Gold-coin entry.

Earlier this year I met an extraordinary young

woman of just 16 who had been so affected by the fire in Bangladesh that she researched factory conditions at the places where she bought her clothes. Then she stopped buying anything exploitive. She founded a company called Who Made Your Pants? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an ethical underwear company in the UK run by women for women. I was so impressed that someone so young could change her behaviour. I wondered then why someone as informed and as intelligent as I am couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

Interested in finding out more? The True Cost, a film about who makes your clothes, is being screened at The Secret Garden (121 Jonson St, Byron) on Thursday at 6pm. Nicole Cross will perform a 20-minute set at Mullum Music Festival. Thursday 19 till Sunday 22 November. www.mullummusicfestival. com Festival hotline 6684 6195.

USING MUSIC TO CELEBRATE 30 YEARS OF THE EDO

It seems a bit harsh for those of us wishing to escape the blame, but every time we buy something made with suffering, we have bought into our smug profit-driven first-world superiority. So why do ethical people have a blind spot when it comes to fashion? And why is there so little pressure on the fashion industry to take responsibility?

THE WRITER WITH THE COLOURFUL TALE WRITER GILLIAN MEARS TO CELEBRATE: SHE HAS PUBLISHED HER NINTH B CAT WITH THE COLOURE

intimate interviews, newly uncovered archival footage and photos

With impressive publications of short stories and fiction, and having won the Vogel prize for her first book The Mint Lawn and then later the Regional Commonwealth Writers Award for the Asia Pacific twice, most recently for The Grass Sister. Her latest offering The Cat with the Coloured Tail is a wonderfully eccentric departure into fable. ‘This book was a long dream of mine. I wanted to write something that would be meaningful to all, not just my select readership of adults, I wanted something I could give

to an aunty…’ This is that book. A tale for all, ‘This is the book,’ says Gillian, ‘that is about very wholesome character trying to heal the earth of unhappiness and darkness’.

Gillian’s celebration is twofold – the realisation of a well-honed dream and triumphing over her physical challenges. In 2002 Gillian almost died after infection set in after open-heart surgery. ‘I was in a fairly violent ‘I got an infection on my heart relationship and all I longed for was to leave home in a van with valve and what kept me alive I a cat – because I couldn’t do that truly believe was this little spirit cat like a vision of a cat that I used to cut cats out of bits of tin, cats for the garden, scarecats! would come to me in the painful Inspired by her imagination at her own dark time, Gillian reflects on how the idea for the book was first seeded.

night and lay itself over my heart.’ Later in 2002 when she was recovered Gillian was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. ‘I have a slow progressive form of MS – I kind of just declined very gradually just as the neurologist has predicted. ‘I think when I wrote my last novel I adored being still a person of great physicality – I could still sit on my writing chair like I was still on a horse. I was given a silver white Arabian stallion for my 50th and he’s in the paddock right by the door. I don’t give up hope. I feel there can still be a miraculous story in the end – and compared to someone who is a roofer or a plumber, being a writer at least is within the realm of what I can do, I can grasp it still.’ MS has changed a lot of things for Gillian, not just how, but even when she writes.

‘I used to be a morning writer. I was very regimented. I loved going to my desk in the morning. I wouldn’t have predicted that I would become a writer after midnight – that reflects from being a person in solitude in a wheelchair. It necessitates having carers coming in twice a day, so now I sit up in the midnight hours so those magical images can emerge…’

In a way Gillian identifies with the cat as a strong symbol of her own uniqueness. ‘I was always the girl with a cat. I have always loved to be much more on the edge of things. Very much the cat who walks by herself. I love to be alone. But yet I still love tickles under the throat!’

for him life without music would be a mistake as there is so much wonderful music to listen to and to play. Jemima Drews was given a hand-me-down flute from her big sister in order to make her stop whistling. Now 18, Jemima is an accomplished flautist and recently played with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, participated in masterclasses with Jane Rutter and has just completed her HSC music only a few weeks ago.

CULTURE NEW YEARS COMEDY

For the past eight years the Ballina RSL has been hosting the best value New Years Eve gig on the coast. Hosted by the larger-than-life Mandy Nolan, the New Years Eve Comedy Gala Dinner show is built on the long-running success of the regular Big Gig comedy nights and also features musical interludes, a two-course meal and comedy all the way to midnight! Kicking off the evening, patrons will be treated to the fun and sometimes frivolous music of Miss Amber and Stukulele. These two ukulele converts are responsible for the uke presence in the greater Mullumbimby region. Once every month, these passionate uke renegades create themed songbooks and lead a happy throng of ukesters in a massive strum and sing. So far they have tackled uke stylings of gospel, swing, Motown, disco, doo wop, TV themes, The Beatles and more. This New Years Eve they will present the best of the 2015 songbooks with special guest Paul Agar on Hawaiian steel. Happy, feelgood, uplifting and fun.

NYE headline is comedy legend Steady Eddy, referred to as ‘The Bent Man of Comedy’. Steady has been Australian comedy icon for more than 20 years, winning just about every accolade, an ARIA award – that’s right, an Aria award, the prestigious Mo award (twice), performing the invitationonly Montreal Just For Laughs Comedy Festival, LA Comedy Store and every country and town in between. Comedian Steady Eddy will take you on a journey to when things where a little bit more simple, like when a phone was just a phone. He will have you laughing, probably crying laughing, in his original razorsharp style. Recognised both for his original style and continuous flow of new material, no two Steady Eddy comedy shows are ever the same, and for that matter, neither will you be after watching him. Also featured are Big Gig favourites Chris Radburn and Anne Howe. Dinner and show: 7.30pm 18+ ONLY Ticket Price: $69.90 pp – includes two-course dinner and show. Groups of ten (10) exactly: $67.90.

ARIES: This week’s planets get together for goal-setting

s r a t S with Lilith Hotly pursued by amorous Mars into Libra, sweet Venus decrees this week a pleasure zone – including a particularly frisky Friday the 13th…

CULTURE

OUTSPOKEN YOUTH Byron Youth Theatre have received funding from the Fundability Program, Northcott and Byron Council that has allowed them enter into a creative collaboration with six young people with disabilities as well as artistic director of SPRUNG Integrated Dance Theatre, Michael Hennessy and dancer and interpreter Alison Toft. Northcott is an innovative and dynamic not-for-profit organisation that provides support to more than 14,000 people with disabilities and their families and carers in the Byron Shire, as well as across NSW and the ACT. Northcott offers a range of programs that promote a genuinely inclusive society. The combined cast of Outspoken have developed a performance that explores issues of inclusivity, belonging and identity. The piece will include dance, poetry, music and dramatic scenes. There will be a performances held at the Drill Hall in Mullumbimby on Monday 30 November from 10am till 12 noon. Entry by donation.

meetings and list-writing discussions to brainstorm new plans and future strategies – which may trigger issues to do with owing, loaning or borrowing. So be careful how you share your opinions about who’s helping you and who may be helping themselves. TAURUS: Your leading lady Venus sways into Libra, her favourite homestay and your house of public relations – which includes annoying and exasperating others. But people are an important ingredient in this week’s story and since you can’t avoid them, play the graceful diplomat by maintaining emotional poise, practising tact and focusing on finesse. GEMINI: Your mentor planet Mercury’s particularly astute this week, which means you’ll be an absolute whiz at sourcing and conveying the relevant information for dealing with workplace disruptions, obstructions or covert agendas. Call on support – it’s there for you. Biggest challenge? Being as effective and successful with your own health and diet. CANCER: Saturn’s had your finances in a somewhat restrictive grip for the last couple of years, but this week that trifecta of classic concerns – love, money and the future – take a back seat when midweek new moon’s sweet spot in your pleasure zone recommends a recreational break on Planet Fun.

SAGITTARIUS: Yes, little things mean a lot, but no need to expand them into Technicolour and Cinemascope. With the exception of promoting what you love, this week the less said the better. Taking your foot out of your mouth and placing it on the brake during Friday’s Sagittarius moon could prove especially successful.

CAPRICORN: Relationships – personal, professional, social and private – are the trending topic of this week’s Capricorn conversation. Sure, you’re no short poppy and were born to lead, but the current focus, learning curves, joys, challenges and rewards are all in the sector of getting along with others. Co-operating. Being part of a team.

LEO: With so much astral activity in your house of history and memories, old issues bubble up for healing. So welcome, accept and forgive them, which may take time, but will open up new opportunities. This week’s people, meetings and ideas fizz with promise – plus just to spice it up, the occasional glitch.

VIRGO: Mercury’s incisive this week, so your mind’s chef-knife sharp and crystal clear. In no way a bad thing, but it is worth gentling that cutting edge to the soft answer that turneth away an awful lot of bother. Bring the focus back home to you, and to looking good like a Virgo should. LIBRA: Sweet-talking Venus and magnetic Mars flirting together in your house of personality make this week a Libran winner. Current conditions are ripe for an economic growth spurt, so while that’s brewing why not enjoy the novel experience of letting others make the effort to please you?

SCORPIO: Midweek new moon joining the sun and Mercury in Scorpio to power up your attraction factor, magnetism and drive makes this a peak week for planning and strategising. Sure, your ability to adapt will be challenged – as it should – but pursuing what you’re passionate about is always a sure-fire mood-improver.

AQUARIUS: There’s an element of unpredictability operating this week along with the law of unintended consequences, so take nothing for granted. Broker partnerships that support both your individuality and ability to be a team player. Monitor emotional emissions carefully, and be willing to hear the other side of an issue.

PISCES: Need to press the reset switch on your work/play ratio? Or fine-tune the balance between your public and private lives? It’s worthwhile taking an honest inventory of whatever personal changes you’re prepared to make before midweek new moon initiates a ruthless scrutiny from someone else…

THE COURAGE TO CARE

Putting hope into action: A conversation about community and connection as the basis of transforming our lives (and the world) These days everyone is talking about ‘connection’, but very often is seems more like a slogan than an actual end goal. So what does ‘Connection’ really mean, and what does it look like in your own life? Or in your community? Or in the world at large? In a world saturated with information, how do we find meaning that is relevant to us and make sense of it all? Social provocateur and comedian Mandy Nolan hosts a robust, entertaining and highly informative conversation with three inspirational thinkers whose ideas and actions challenge the dominant paradigm, pushing comfortable people way out of their comfort zones! Featuring Alan Clements, a longtime friend of the Shire, is an author, activist, spoken-word artist and world Dharma teacher. One of the first Westerners to become a Buddhist monk in Burma, he is now a maverick

Both music and characters stand out in Big River, the Roger Miller musical, a great story of adventure on the Mississippi with a foot-stomping country-music score. There is Huckleberry Finn (Brian Pamphilon), the eternal kid Tom Sawyer (Josh Green) and the honourable runaway slave Jim (Carl Moore). Disrupting their journey are the outrageous pair of snake-oil salesmen, the King (Graeme Speed) and the Duke (Tim Roberts), who escape an angry mob to join the raft. Big River is a show with great music, entertaining characters and lots of laughs, and beyond the fun it will make you think. A memorable musical experience for all the family. Big River will be staged at the Players Theatre from Friday

MORE BRIT FILM

The British Film Festival continues this week at Palace Byron Bay celebrating the breadth and diversity of British cinema. A festival highlight is sure to be the sweeping romantic drama Brooklyn. Acclaimed British storyteller Nick Hornby (An Education), has penned this powerful tale of Eilis Lacey, a young Irish immigrant trying to make her way in 1950s Brooklyn, New York. Fans of the BBC TV spy thriller sensation Spooks will be, well, thrilled to see it get the big-screen treatment in Spooks: The Greater Good, with all the intrigue and drama inherent in this iconic series. Game of Thrones star Kit Harrington stars as Will Holloway, who must team with disgraced MI5 traitor and former chief Harry Pearce to track down a terrorist planning an attack on London. Closing the festival on Wednesday 18 November, The Man Who Knew Infinity stars Slumdog Millionaire and Best Exotic Marigold Hotel’s Dev Patel and Jeremy Irons, in this inspirational biography of a genuine mathematic genius in the early 20th century, following his life from meek beginnings in Madras to great renown at Cambridge, where his knowledge proves to be both a blessing and a curse.

ENTERTAINMENT cinema BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Reviews It’s not every day that a man gets to report on what posterity might come to regard as one of the stupidest movies in the history of stupid movies. For a start, it opens with Vin Diesel bearded and in medieval drag – for mine they should have called a halt to proceedings then and there. He is the Alpha-male leading a mob of unwashed hairy peasants into the roots and limbs of a giant black tree that houses the most hideously vile but powerful witches that you will ever see (until the sequel to this crock, perhaps). They must eradicate these women who are responsible for a pestilence that has ravaged the land. Vin

THE LAST WITCH HUNTER

comes to grips with the head witch and in the act of throttling her he is cursed with eternal life. We then skip forward 800 years (can you imagine 800 years of Vin Diesel? Makes your bowels go to water, doesn’t it?), and our hero is known as Kaulder, a New York bounty hunter still on the hunt for witches. By this time the Catholic Church has assigned to him a ‘minder’ and, would you believe it, it’s Michael ‘show me the money’ Caine. Remember how he was Bruce Wayne’s butler? Well this is a similar gig, even though he is replaced for a while by a gormless young appointee who looks like Froddo Baggins – actually, it

is Froddo, which makes even more confusing a screenplay that is all over the place like a mad woman’s breakfast. The mandatory Girl is Chloe (Rose Leslie), and it turns out that she is a ‘dream walker’. Have you ever heard of them? There is one line in the whole shambles that made me laugh

out loud – not that it was meant to be funny. Asked about what the civilised West does now that burning at the stake has been deemed inappropriate, Vin says, with a straight face, ‘we put them in the witches’ jail’ – presumably that’s out Queens way. Unspeakably bad.

MAN UP

There are ‘what if’ moments in all our lives. The consequences of running with the unforeseen moment are delightfully teased out in Ben Palmer’s superior rom-com. As a ‘big star’ (notwithstanding his ridiculous casting in the last Star Trek), Simon Pegg’s name precedes him here, for you can’t help but find yourself waiting for his belated appearance while getting to know Nancy (Lake Bell), a 34-year-old wannabe writer and social misfit who has been unable to move on from a broken relationship. Pegg’s character, Jack, emotionally scarred following a bitter divorce, mistakenly takes Nancy to be the blind date whom he has arranged to meet at a railway station. By this time it’s hard not to be a little bit in love with Nancy – she’s beautiful (with a fab fringe), funny and so out of sync with other people that she needs to stare into a mirror giving herself a pep talk to attend a themed party. What happens after Nancy goes

along with pretending to be the ‘Jessica’ that Jack takes her for is compressed into one cold London night. Nancy is expected at her parents’ fortieth wedding anniversary, but Jack takes her from riverside diner to bowling alley to bar, both of them drinking enough booze to make an army barracks legless – it is my only criticism of a wonderful movie that the couple were able to get through to the end without so much as a slurred word between them. Palmer, who directed the hilarious Inbetweeners (2011), and writer Tess Moss, whose CV includes working on TV’s ‘ My Family, strike a marvellous balance between goofy gags and genuine human frailty as Nancy and Jack, through conceits and confessions, ultimately are rewarded with self-realisation and companionship. None of which would convince without Bell and Pegg, who has the good sense to understand that it is Nancy’s movie, combining so well together. They kill it while dancing to Duran Duran and Jack’s peck on Nancy’s cheek when all seems lost is gold. Don’t miss it.

Has media really changed? Does social media advance social justice? Is the old media dying or shapeshifting?

Join us for a conversation about how the mainstream media is morphing, how old power is dying and new power is forming. Where is the place for conscience and justice in this new environment? Our conversationalists will be: Colleen Ryan – an award winning journalist who was with Fairfax for over thirty-five years. She is a former editor of the Australian Financial Review. And Mark Swivel – lawyer, strategist, writer, social capitalist and a great conversationalist.

Orly is just one of four gorgeous black kittens that have arrived at the shelter. It’s nice to be able to promote black cats as wonderful, mystical creatures. Sadly, black cats often get overlooked, but ask any witch or wizard and they’ll tell you they are essential companions whatever time of the year! To meet Orly & our other lovely cats, please visit the Cat Adoption Centre at 124 Dalley St, Mullumbimby. If you are interested in becoming a foster carer, please contact us.

FREYA Freya is currently being fostered on property with lots of other dogs, cattle, children and chickens. She’s a super affectionate young dog who’s comfortable living on acreage. Freya becomes very anxious when on a lead or in a suburban situation so you need to be happy just exercising her on your property. She’s comfortable being left on her own and will just curl up and go to sleep. She loves to chase a ball, but only if you want to throw it, otherwise she’s happy being your companion.

Bond is back! (Did he ever go away?) As bold and brash and British as ever, flying the flag with his special mix of lowkey then blow-up-the-wholeplace cool. We love him, we hate him, we can’t get away from him. James Bond is the world’s most well-known Pom, more so than David Beckham, more so than Harry Potter. He’s physical, he’s knowledgeable, he’s suave, and he’s imaginary. And he’s a spy, of course. The need to protect our old and wary island makes us polished in our defences. We take spying seriously. In the past we took all forms of warfare and argy-bargy seriously. It was for trade, it was for

God, gold and glory. Now it’s for security. We are insecure, buttressed against meddling interlopers who seek to bite from our table and poach and fiddle our assets.

Snowden that showed how much, if not all, of our data is monitored and stored by the powers that be. Almost in a comical backlash, what alarmed us most then about how our data was being monitored was about to become official policy. This week, however, in a screeching U-turn, the government announced it will drop key parts of the bill, such as trawling and storing all data and accessing our browsing histories. Since they were already doing this – the bill was a way to make it legal and transparent – it is not clear what gains are made for liberty and independence. It’s standard camel-trading: Ask a lot, concede a little, walk away with what you wanted in the first place. In the book 1984, written in 1948 (and sorry for the spoiler if you haven’t read it), Big Brother is watching us, it turns out, through our television screens. How prescient and not so different from the Hoover-like data collection capabilities of our beloved internet and phones. At the moment the only real stumbling block to the authorities seeing all our messages is encryption. Sophisticated encryption software is increasingly commonplace and is ingenious, simple and transparent – that is, we know how it works but that doesn’t help in unlocking what is encrypted. Security whizzes – the real Qs – say they can’t crack it, that it remains a private conduit, but no-one really believes them. Or maybe no-one wants to believe them. Much as we like to harangue and rail against

our homegrown spies, life without their protection would be much scarier. In a global stand-off, various security services, including Interpol, Europol, the FBI and MI6, have jointly berated the tech companies for enabling encryption to flourish. It’s an old debate. Banning encryption has been on the agenda since the Australia attorney-general inadvertently published the Walsh report in 1999, which disclosed various aspects of defence, security and the international relations of the Commonwealth.

Ban the code ‘Another key proposal in the Investigatory Powers Bill was to ban encryption altogether. This has also now been dropped, for being ‘spectacularly impractical’, as civil liberties leader David Davis put it. So encrypt away. Share your secrets safely in the belief no-one is watching. But remember not to believe everything you believe. Encryption is only airtight if you provide the master key. If you don’t, such as with online banking, what seems secure is, in fact, still vulnerable to backdoor access by savvy techies. It’s a paradox. We need spies to help stop terrorists but we want transparency and not to be spied on ourselves. Perhaps, as in restaurants with open kitchens, it’s good to be able to look in and watch but often wise not to.

Shire youth delegate is Paris bound

Byron Shire local Jaiia Cerff, 17, will travel to Paris in late November for the UNFCCC climate summit. He has been invited by the youth-led NGO Earth Guardians to be the Australian representative on their team. Earth Guardians will gather an international youth delegation to participate in the sixth COP21 Global Climate Conference, a meeting that may well determine the course of life in this century. The importance of the summit has inspired many people from around the globe to take part in organised protests and mass gatherings to try to get the corporate and political delegations in Paris to make the right decisions and put

progress ahead of profit. Jaiia said, ‘It’s really important to be able to provide a strong presence of youth representatives and leaders to hold the corporate and governmental delegations accountable. These events will foster communication

and collaboration between future leaders to create the world we would like to inherit.’ Jaiia is well known in the local area as a performer and youth representative on issues such as environmental and social change.

He is an active and founding member of Kindred Youth, a youth organisation actively promoting positive outcomes for current and future generations in the community. He has successfully raised $2,500 through crowdfunding in the last week and a half to support his journey. Any further donations will go towards supporting the delegates from less affluent nations, such as Uganda and Bhutan. The funding website is: https://chuffed.org/project/ jaiia-earth-guardian-delegate. Jaiia believes this is an amazing opportunity to exchange skills and knowledge that can then be shared with our local community.

North Ocean Shores Sports Field Another hard day at the office – Construction out to tender

Detailed designs are finalised and the tender for the construction of the North Ocean Shores Sports Field and Amenities Block have been released. Council’s director of infrastructure services Phil Holloway said building and construction firms will have four weeks to submit their proposals to construct the much-anticipated sportsfield, carpark and amenities block. The new sportsfield will include: a soccer field suitable for premier-division matches; low-spill lighting; carpark sealing, overflow carpark and

bus bay; pedestrian connections; electrical, water, wastewater and telecommunications services; installation of sporting infrastructure; construction of the amenities building, which includes: public toilets; home and visiting team change rooms; canteen; referees room; medical room and covered outdoor area; and landscaping and compensatory habitat works. Tenders can be obtained at www.tenderlink.com/byron and close on Wednesday 25 November 2015 (DST). Mr Holloway said providing an acceptable tender is

received, construction can commence as early as February 2016. The masterplan site layout can be viewed at on Council’s website at www.byron.nsw. gov.au. $1.8 million in funding has been allocated to the project from section 94 developer contribution funds. Council has also applied for an Australian Government’s National Stronger Regions Fund grant, which could provide up to fifty per cent of the cost. Successful applicants will be advised in late 2015.

Bassett crowned Liz Ellis Diamonds winner Australian Diamonds and West Coast Fever star Caitlin Bassett has become the first shooter to win the Liz Ellis Diamond at the 2015 Australian Netball Awards at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney, on Saturday. Bassett was crowned Australian netball Player of the Year after spearheading the Fever to their maiden ANZ Championship Finals Series appearance and the Australian Diamonds to a third consecutive Netball World Cup victory and Constellation Cup title. The 27-year-old, who became the first Western Australian netballer to surpass 50 international Test appearances during the World Cup, has enjoyed a career best season in the circle, finishing the year with 964 goals at 89 per cent accuracy across the domestic and international stages. Bassett makes history by becoming the first shooter to claim Australian netball’s highest individual honour, the Liz Ellis Diamond, previously won by midcourters and defenders since the award’s inception in 2008. The Western Australian also

picked up Australia’s International Player of the Year. Defender Sharni Layton was crowned Australia’s ANZ Championship Player of the Year after helping the NSW Swifts to their first ANZ Championship Grand Final since the inaugural year in 2008. Layton, who was named in the Foxtel ANZ Championship All-Star team for the first time in 2015, finished the 2015 ANZ Championship as the top defender with a league high of 49 intercepts, 112 deflections, 85 gains and 36 defensive rebounds in a breakout year. Queensland Firebirds premiership coach Roselee Jencke won the ANZ Championship Coach of the Year, while recently retired Sharon Kelly was honoured with the ANZ Championship Umpire of the Year in her final year. Australian coach Lisa Alexander was crowned the Joyce Brown Coach of the Year after leading the Diamonds to an 11th Netball World Cup title in front of a world-record crowd at Allphones Arena in Sydney and a successful Constellation Cup defence.

Rams mid-fielder Ronan Karup carves up the Mullum defence. Story & photo Dogwhistle

Finally playing their first home game of the summer Youth League season gave little advantage to theb3 Byron Bay FC Wildcats and Rams last Friday night. The Cavanbah Centre pitch was in great condition but a strong northerly and some blustery rain made it tough going for all concerned. Down a few starters, the girls faced another quality team from the Mullumbimby/Brunswick Valley club and, despite some valiant defending and plenty of action up front, the Wildcats went down 4–0. The young Qantm-SAE Rams looked like getting the better of the much-fancied Mullumbimby/Brunswick boys for most of their match. The two sides were fairly evenly matched early on with Byron looking to have upper hand. Adam Budd opened

the account for the Rams with a blistering 25-metre strike at the twenty-minute mark. A defensive lapse in the Byron box saw Mullum/ Bruns equalise five minutes later. In the dying minutes of the second half, Sam Shepherd bustled his way through the Mullum defence, tapped a fumbled ball through and hurdled the prone keeper to take Byron’s second goal. Two minutes into the second half and yet more confusion in the Byron defence allowed Mullum yet another equaliser. A few moments later, midfielder Ronan Karup made a terrific flanking run and delivered a pinpoint cross to Shepherd whose clean finish took Byron back to a 3–2 lead. Moments later, another desperate scramble in the Byron goalmouth saw Mullum equalise for the third time after several pokes at

goals and some quick deflections from Byron’s defenders and keeper. Twenty-five minutes into the second half, Mullumbimby/Brunswick finally took the lead after a tense one-onone with keeper Griffin Bambach. With just four minutes remaining, hopes of a Rams victory faded when a chip shot cleared keeper Griffin and gave the Mullum boys a two-point margin. Byron Bay then scrambled to take back the upper hand and a gritty third goal in the 60 seconds from Sam Shepherd took the final score to Mullumbimby Brunswick 5, Byron Bay SAE-Qantm Rams 4. It was another tough and entertaining performance from the Rams in the lead-up to their clash with table-leader Lennox Head this week at Skennars Head. The girls kick-off at 6.30pm and the boys at 8pm.

Backlash Calling all trombonists (they need 75 more, ho ho). The Mullum Music Street Brass band has been rehearsing for the Sunday festival street parade. If you live in Mullum you might have heard them rehearsing on a Tuesday night. This year it seems saxes are the cool instrument, and the band is short of trombones, trumpets, tubas, euphoniums, baritones, french horns, cornets, clarinets. If you are keen, or know of musicians who would like to join in the fun, rehearsals continue at Station Street Studios, corner of Station and Mill streets 5.30 to 6.30pm each Tuesday until the festival. The parade is always a highlight of the Mullum Music Festival and takes place on Sunday November 22 at 11am, kicking off at the Council Chambers. Q Q Q Q

And an early heads-up for the premiere of Sharon Shostak’s new doco: Mullumbimby’s Madness will screen at 7.30pm on December 3 at the Civic Centre. Commissioned by the Brunswick Valley Historical Society, the film depicts the wave of young settlers who came to Mullum and the valleys, reviving the town before, during and after the Aquarius Festival 42 years ago. Sharon’s deft touch with archival footage was shown in her Echo Doco a couple of years ago, and this new work promises to be just as fascinating.

Talking of old, white, rich etceteras, Rupert Murdoch has run into problems with his paywall strategy in the UK. While The Times continues to charge for online news (for the moment), the tabloid Sun, now back under the management of the notorious Rebekah Brooks, will abandon the practice on November 30. The ageing, white but impoverished proprietors of your Echo have no plans to erect a paywall at Echonetdaily, or for that matter to date Jerry Hall.
