Councils warned over Roundup Hans Lovejoy

Recent findings by the World Health Organisation (WHO) into the key ingredient in the world’s top-selling weed killer, Roundup, have been supported by NSW councils’ insurer. It’s prompted calls for risk assessment reviews and a ‘cautious approach’ to its use by the state’s local governments.

Probably carcinogenic StateCover, who are ‘Local Government’s Workers Compensation Insurer’ says ‘that formulations containing glyphosate, including Roundup and other similar products, were assessed as “probably carcinogenic to humans”, according to a WHO International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) report.’ Roundup is the flagship product of controversial US corporation Monsanto, who also produce genetically modified foods and ‘terminator’ seeds. The company has a long history of attempting to control the global food market through patent laws. Yet the chemical is still to be treated with the same caution by other regulators. The StateCover internal memo to councils says WHO’s findings ‘contrasts with information included in existing safety data sheets, which indicate the relative safety of the chemical.’ ‘Australian regulators, including Safe Work Australia and WorkCover NSW, have not provided advice or direction relating to the use of glyphosate at this time. However,

given this new information, it is recommended that councils take a cautious approach and investigate their use of glyphosate and other hazardous chemicals used for weed control.’ The position taken has been welcomed by Nadia de Souza Pietramale from Byron Shire Chemical Free Landcare. She told The Echo, ‘It is great to see a drop of accountability.’ ‘Council and other local and state government agencies such as RTA, NPWS, Crown Lands etc are still using it in drains, creek lines, dunes, etc. Also there is zero regulation with regard to local residents spraying it with no sign or safety gear [required on the] public footpath or public land adjacent to the front of their property.’ The Echo asked Byron Shire Council if it has responded to StateCover’s advice and assessed its current weed-control chemicals. Council’s infrastructure services director Phil Holloway replied that Council maintains ‘Safe Working Method Statements’ for herbicides employed by staff. ‘These are updated as advice is received from StateCover,’ he said. ‘Council staff and their contractors who use herbicide have undertaken appropriate training and aspire to minimise its use. Plus, to help reduce our herbicide use, we have recently purchased a portable steam machine that is currently being used for weed control at the shire’s playgrounds. It will also be treating pavements and garden beds in the town and village centres.’

A show for more than just the birds

The Eichlers thoroughly enjoyed the pet parade at Mullumbimby’s 108th Agriculture Show. In spite of some wet weather, hundreds enjoyed last weekend’s action-filled show. Trotters thrilled, flying motorcyclists dropped jaws and the fireworks were answered by lightning. Pies were devoured, chooks were admired, a show girl was crowned, cakes were judged, baby animals were petted, reptiles fascinated and repelled at the same time. Costa got dirty in the garden.

Coastal zones to get makeover Environmental groups have welcomed a new state government coastal management reform package, which they say ‘consolidates and updates planning and development controls for some of the state’s most sensitive ecosystems’.

Four areas defined The minister’s announcement includes proposals to create a new Coastal Management Act, Coastal Management State Environmental Planning Policy (SEPP), and Coastal Management Manual to guide decision makers.

Under the new arrangements, the coastal zone – roughly all land 1km from the water’s edge – would be divided into four areas where different development controls will apply: coastal wetlands and rainforests; coastal vulnerability areas (land subject to coastal hazards – erosion etc); coastal environment areas (land containing estuaries, lagoons, headlands, etc); coastal use areas (land adjacent to coastal waters where development may be carried out). Meanwhile, Council will table a report at the upcoming Thursday meeting on the Coastal Hazard Man-

The report by consultants Water Research Laboratory (WRL) is specific to Byron Bay’s beaches and includes NSW government department letters to Council staff which point to a number of ‘issues and errors’ within the report. Namely, the Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) found a number of ‘errors and assumptions’, and after correcting these, ‘the relative ranking of options changed with planned retreat the highest performing option’ [as opposed to rockwalls].

Tuesday’s shark attack on a surfer at Lighthouse Beach at East Ballina has prompted authorities to promise the installation of ‘eco-barriers’ at the beach within months. Local surfer Sam Morgan, 20, became the ninth sharkattack victim this year after a bull shark attacked his leg. He remains in a stable condition at a Gold Coast hospital. NSW primary industries

minister Niall Blair promised on Wednesday a mesh swimming enclosure would be installed with new technology to be trialled so the barrier nets don’t capture sharks or other marine life. Premier Mike Baird, however, says the nets haven’t yet been built. ‘We are in discussions with the manufacturer. We are trying to get them built and installed as quickly as we possibly can on the north coast,’ Mr Baird said.

Cases of the potentially fatal whooping cough in the Wilsons Creek community have been confirmed. It’s also known as pertussis. Concerns were first raised with The Echo by parent Daniel Black, who told The Echo it has affected at least 14 parents and children in the valley. ‘I’ve been immunised,’ he said, ‘but still got it.’ He says his main concern is with young children passing it on to infants and pregnant women. Wilsons Creek Primary School principal Will Constable confirmed with The Echo there had been some whooping cough cases at the school and they had been managed as per Department of Health and Education guidelines. ‘We’ve kept the community fully informed with fact sheets, which includes its treatment and identifying symptoms,’ he said. Local health officials have

also confirmed cases, with deputy director of Public Health for the North Coast, Greg Bell, telling The Echo, ‘The North Coast Public Health Unit is aware of cases of pertussis [whooping cough] in and around known low-vaccination areas on the north coast.’

Cases well below state average Mr Bell said, ‘Staff at the Public Health Unit have been in contact with the relevant confirmed cases. North coast notifications of pertussis remain well below state average. ‘It is always important to remind the public and parents to consult with their general practitioner (GP) to ensure that recommended vaccinations are up to date. ‘If you have a persistant cough get, it checked.’ For more information visit www.health.nsw.gov.au/PublicHealth/Infectious/whoopingcough/index.asp.

Symptoms begin as a cold Usual symptoms begin as a cold, but get worse with severe bouts of uncontrollable coughing and then vomiting, choking or taking a big gasping breath that causes a ‘whooping’ sound. The cough can last for many weeks and can be worse at night. Some newborns may not cough at all but they can stop breathing and turn blue. Some babies

have difficulties feeding and can choke or gag. It is spread when an infectious person coughs bacteria into the air, which can be inhaled by people nearby. If they are not treated early, people with whooping cough are infectious in the first three weeks of their illness. Information from www. health.nsw.gov.au.

Climate change action now! Rally Nov 29

BayFM 99.9 scoops awards

With the UN Climate Change Conference in Paris looming, local activists are gearing up to raise awareness of perhaps the most significant crisis facing the planet. Rallies are planned in both Byron Bay and Lennox Head on Sunday November 29, and coincide with worldwide events. The Byron event will begin in Railway Park at 10am with a march to Main Beach at 11.30am. In Lennox, the march will start at the park on Ballina Street at 10.30am and run north along the beach to the surf club and back to town, where the event will wrap up at around 12.30pm with music, food stalls and speakers. Co-organiser for the Byron event is local GP, Dr Liz Elliott. She told The Echo, ‘It’ll be big, beautiful and important’. She says, ‘The aim of the Paris conference is for governments to commit to reductions in emissions after 2020 that will keep global warming to two to three degrees maximum and also protect poorer nations.’ ‘Talk of jobs and trade and measly targets will not do! ‘We need to re-regulate

activist Harsha Prabhu, musicians and more. Dr Elliott encourages everyone to arrive early and to bring banners and placards. If it’s raining, head to the Community Centre. Volunteers are also needed – please contact paul.mclisky@gmail.com. Lennox Head event organiser Amelia Hicks says the march will be an opportunity to build support for the newly formed COREL

(Community Owned Renewable Energy Lennox), which was inspired by the Mullumbimby-based COREM that launched last month. ‘People want a future powered by renewables that give back to our communities and our local economies. It’s already happening, and events like this show that even if governments want to keep us in the dark ages, local action is a powerful force for change.’

Comment sought on retail gas price A NSW government oversight agency is inviting public comment on its proposed approach to regulating retail gas prices from July 1, 2016. The Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) regulates retail gas prices that the standard retailers in NSW – AGL, ActewAGL and Origin Energy – charge residential and small business gas customers who have not signed a market contract. IPART say that currently, less than 20 per cent of customers remain on regulated gas prices, and it does not regulate prices for customers on market contracts.

Efficient gas costs

Volunteers earn a fest pass

IPART chairman Dr Peter Boxall says a key issue for the review will be to determine efficient wholesale gas costs, given the substantial changes occurring in the eastern Australian market, and particularly the effect of the liquid natural gas exports from QLD.

Marketing Real Estate on the web is not new, but doing it alone raises issues. Before deciding to sell your property without an agent, you should thoroughly research what you will need to do. Selling a home isn’t quite as simple as sticking up a ‘for sale’ sign on the front lawn, or on ‘Gumtree’. You will need to do quite a bit of homework including: • Reviewing your Council ﬁle to identify any issues (unapproved works?) • Deciding on a sale price (market research) • Have a Marketing Contract prepared • Advertising the property - preparing property for inspection (de-clutter!) • Negotiating sale terms and settle terms of Contract • Exchanging contracts • Settlement

At Stuart Garett Lawyers we will make sure that the Marketing Contract for Sale meets the legal requirements and is prepared in your best interest.

A tangible solution away from fossil fuels Helena Norberg-Hodge

While governments around the world sign on to ‘free’ trade treaties that give corporations the right to sue them if they allow social or environmental needs to get in the way of their profits, more and more communities are taking power into their own hands. At the grassroots, there is an explosion of inspiring projects worldwide. Everywhere you look people are coming together to reduce CO2 emissions, protect the environment, and rebuild their local and regional economies. Here in Byron Shire, we pride ourselves on our strong community ties and leadership, and we now have an exciting opportunity to move forward and become a model for the rest of the country by supporting a new and important initiative.

Enova is giving this shire the opportunity to say no to the big three power companies and to diversify. These big power companies are structured so that their decision-making policies are completely detached from the people and communities they claim to serve. In contrast to this corporate model, Enova’s aim is

to work within and for the community. They will have a not-for-profit arm that will assist and advise on improving energy efficiency and will work with other local agencies to ensure social equality as the community shifts to renewable energy.

Jacaranda Park improved The Jacaranda Park in Byron Bay’s Sunrise Estate has had a makeover, with a new allweather shelter, seating and a wheelchair and stroller accessible path that is located next to the children’s playground. Deputy mayor Paul Spooner officially opened the new area and thanked the community, support organisations and Council staff for fully embracing the project. He said, ‘From a casual

conversation this project has evolved and Council would like to thank The Family Centre and Byron Aged Care for being fully supportive of the new intergenerational playgroup.’ The project was possible with $20,000 funding support from the NSW government’s Creating Liveable Communities Competition and matched funding from Byron Shire Council.

Ballina ocean pool another step closer The push to build an ocean pool at Ballina has been given the backing of the Ballina Shire Council reserve trusts committee. The committee has approved a request from the Ballina Ocean Pool Committee to be the delegated authority in the push for a pool. The Ballina Ocean Pool Committee can now submit a proposal, apply for funding, and act on behalf of the reserve trusts committee, which is responsible for the rock shelf between Shelley Beach and Lighthouse Beach. Pool committee spokesman and Ballina councillor Jeff Johnson said the committee had been working on the ocean pool concept for more

than a year and already has some preliminary designs. Cr Johnson said the rock shelf between Shelly and Lighthouse Beach at East Ballina was the preferred location given the close proximity of local infrastructure such as carparks, surfclubs, showers/ toilets, cycleways, etc. ‘An ocean pool would provide a safe ocean swimming experience for the whole community and would be a great tourist attraction for Ballina,’ Cr Johnson said. Supporters are pushing for a 50 metre by 20 metre pool on the rock shelf between Shelley and Lighthouse beaches. Cr Johnson believes it could be built for less than a million dollars.

New legislation that appears to have implications for the entire state’s planning laws was passed in the NSW lower house on November 11. The Greater Sydney Commission Bill 2015 aims to override council’s local environmental plans (LEPs) and create a new planning body comprising a commissioner with committees. Part of the legislation amends the NSW Planning Act. Concerns have been raised by Nature Conservation Council’s CEO Kate Smolski, who said ‘The implications of the GSC Bill go well beyond the Sydney region because it authorises the planning minister to establish similar commissions anywhere in NSW.’ ‘These changes have concentrated power into the hands of the minister and his appointed commissioners, and it is unclear how communities will engage with these new regional planning bodies,’ Ms Smolski said. But Labor’s Penny Sharpe

told parliament during debate that her party will propose a joint parliamentary committee to oversee the activities of the Greater Sydney Commission and will ‘insert a subclause that makes consultation one of the principal objectives of the commission.’ Yet former Byron Shire mayor and Greens MLC Jan Barham told The Echo the law could have wide-ranging implications, given there is no recognition of Indigenous people within the legislation. Meanwhile Greens MP David Shoebridge told parliament during debate that ‘Given Labor’s history of supporting grossly undemocratic planning laws, it is no wonder that it is cheering this bill home.’ ‘The Greens put forward a number of amendments to try to ensure some democratic accountability in this state’s planning but they were voted down by both Liberal and Labor in the Upper House.’

The federation of P&C’s Parent and Community Engagement Forum, held at Mullumbimby High School last Thursday night was very successful. We had about 25 people attend the forum from neighbouring schools, from the Tweed to the other side of Lismore. There was a lot of discussion around the major

topic for the night, which was Youth Mental Health. Presentations were delivered by representatives from Head Space (Tweed office) and Byron Mullumbimby Community Mental Health.

Services available Mullum High principal Donna Pearson talked about the programs and counselling services provided in both primary and second-

ary public schools to support students and parents. Director of schools for the Tweed, Daryl Jacobs, provided an overview of current reforms impacting on schools, and Marty Wheatly who is north coast organiser for the NSW Teachers Federation addressed the forum regarding the vital impact the Gonski funding model would have on schools. A number of parents from

small schools were represented at the forum and participated in a lively and informative discussion on the future of small schools, raising issues of concern regarding the reclassification of principals and formulating plans to build future networks for support. It is hoped that the Forum will prove a catalyst for greater networking between P&Cs. Q Terry Timms is P&C North

A rage well worth maintaining

Volume 30 #23

November 18, 2015

NSW govt not interested in a clean energy future The chasm that exists between those who want to address the cause of climate change and those who would prefer to address the symptom was highlighted last week in NSW parliament. Greens MLC and former Byron Shire mayor Jan Barham asked Nationals Party MLC Niall Blair what he was doing ‘to ensure NSW is taking strong action on emissions reduction and climate change adaptation?’ The minister for primary industries, lands and water failed to address the emissions reduction part and instead rattled off reactive measures, such as a $300 million drought strategy. It provides farmers access to a $250,000 per farm loan for infrastructure. Water systems, piping, extra shedding or silos for example, will ‘prepare for some of those variations of seasonal conditions that occur as a result of things like droughts and changes in seasonal conditions.’ He also spoke of research and innovations into higher yield producing crops and irrigation efficiencies. While it all sounds great, it doesn’t really address the core issue, which is that NSW has the highest level of greenhouse gas emissions in the country and does not have a renewable energy target. According to an ABC report in August, NSW led the world in 2003 by introducing the first mandatory greenhouse gas trading scheme — the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Scheme. And then in 2014, the renewable industry body, Clean Energy Council, listed NSW at the bottom of the states for renewable energy production.

Official gripe report Council’s Code of Conduct annual report has been released! Before we get excited, it’s worth noting that it is carefully crafted to say very little. According to Council’s legal chief, Ralph James, nine code of conduct complaints were made against councillors and eight were made against staff in the past year. All were investigated and – surprise – only two cases needed to be followed up. It would be interesting to see the result if Council gave the job to an independent reviewer instead of an inhouse one. Anyway, we are told that one complaint was referred to a conduct reviewer and the outcome for another is pending. What we do know is that the ‘nature of complaints’ against councillors were six breaches of pecuniary interests, one of misconduct, one of harassment and one of improper conduct. Who is the unlikeable bully? And who still doesn’t understand basic process? That’s anyone’s guess, because unfortunately the report contains no names. Mr James also reports that the ‘nature of complaints’ against Council staff were failing to follow proper procedures (six counts) and two of improper conduct. As a comparison, the 2011/12 report (with the previous council) is much more specific. Is this perhaps a case of limiting information to limit potential reputational damage? Hans Lovejoy, editor

harles and Camilla wafted into Australia last week, to be greeted by rapturous applause by the usual suspects. As the ageing heir and his second wife preened and postured for the well-drilled spectators the royalists gushed, led by their self-appointed leader David Flint, playing the comedic courtier whose silliness is only exceeded by his vanity. But there were those who noted that the time was perhaps unfortunate, their arrival in Canberra coinciding with the 40th anniversary of the vice-regal sacking of the Australian prime minister Gough Whitlam. It is natural, as well as fashionable, to say that this (though not, it appears, the monarchical system) is now history; we have moved on. And indeed, many have. But there are some who will not forget the momentous events of November 11, and continue to try and find how and why this upheaval caused the normally stable Westminster model to be so dramatically disturbed. One such is The Australian’s chief pontificator, Paul Kelly, who has just completed his third revision of his somewhat turgid book on the subject, this time with a little help from Troy Bramston. Kelly unblushingly describes his work as definitive: it is not. It is simply his version, and before it becomes the gospel according to St Rupert, it is worth taking another perspective. I was there; I lived, breathed and sweated over the events before, during and after the dismissal, and I have maintained my rage. I was a firsthand observer, although not an impartial one: I became fiercely partisan, as did almost all of those involved at the time, including Kelly, who was then a committed Whitlamite before converting into a conservative Catholic and fervent Murdochian. Kelly now claims that there were no heroes in the traumatic events; somewhat absurdly, he equates Whitlam’s mismanage-

ment as at least as culpable as the subterfuge, deceit and flouting of the rules by the conspirators who overthrew him. But Kelly at least admits that there was a conspiracy, and indeed he and others have used the intervening years to explain just how deliberate and far-reaching it was. At the time, one of the great puzzles was the unwavering confidence of the opposition leader Malcolm Fraser. Once he had breached parliamentary convention by securing the senate numbers with the aid of two unprincipled state premiers and then did so again by

and if supply was passed, Fraser’s gamble – and probably his leadership – was lost. But it was then Kerr struck, in what it is now clear, was a deliberate and carefully prepared coup. There was, of course, outrage: but there were also those who believed Kerr could claim the Constitution was on his side. He had broken all the rules, most crucially by refusing to obey the advice of his ministers, but the reserve powers left to the appointed viceroy were never spelt out; Kerr could, and would, say he was justified in his extreme action.

Since King Charles was deposed (and later executed) in 1648, it has been an absolute fiat that parliament is supreme. by Mungo MacCallum blocking of the supply bills, he never doubted that either Whitlam would surrender, or that the governor-general, John Kerr, would act to remove the prime minister. Few, if any, of his own colleagues shared his belief; outside the coalition party rooms, there were practically none. But what they did not know was that Kerr had already defied his prime minister by seeking encouragement from at least two conservative counsellors, the high court judges Garfield Barwick and Anthony Mason, and even from Buckingham Palace – though not from his head of state, the Queen, and certainly not from his head of government and chief adviser, the prime minister. And Fraser himself was brought into the loop, at least in the last days but probably much earlier. It was widely expected, by the Liberals as well as by Labor, that the senate majority, stitched together by another egregious breach of convention, was on the point of cracking; the polls had moved back towards Labor,

However, what followed could never be justified, and Kelly has always glossed over it. When Whitlam received the document terminating his commission, he did not, as his wife later suggested, throw it back in Kerr’s face; he walked out shell-shocked. He told a few people of the news on his way (one was a bemused Paul Keating) and retired to the Lodge for lunch. His advisers were summoned, but no-one told the senate leader Ken Wriedt, who could at least have delayed the passing of supply after a beaming Liberal leader, Reg Withers, told him it would now go through unhindered – this, of course, was the Kerr-Fraser strategy on which both depended. When, finally, the storm broke in the House of Representatives the Labor majority passed a motion of no-confidence in Fraser as prime minister and instructed the speaker, Gordon Scholes, to tell Kerr that a majority of the parliament demanded that he reinstall Whitlam and his government. Scholes took off for Government House, but was refused admittance, and the resolution

of the parliament ignored. Then, and only then, was the parliament closed down by Kerr’s aidede-camp, David Smith. This was indefensible, unconscionable. Since King Charles was deposed (and later executed) in 1648, it has been an absolute fiat that parliament is supreme; whatever powers may or may not be available to the monarchy, the parliament is untouchable. If there were ever any doubts they were resolved by the settlement of 1688. Kerr’s offence in defying it was unforgivable – close to treason to democracy itself. The dismissal itself was merely the preliminary. When this is recalled, the questions about Kerr’s motives – even whether it was an American plot, as has often been alleged – are almost irrelevant. Certainly Kerr’s links with the CIA have been well documented, and certainly the Washington administration of Richard Nixon loathed and detested Whitlam; its agents could well have urged, or even instructed, Kerr to terminate him with extreme prejudice. But Whitlam himself never bought the theory, and there is a simpler one, proposed, of all people, by Fraser: Kerr was a weak and insecure man, easily influenced by the more forceful, and hoped, through his one decisive act, to gain lasting fame. And there is a precedent. In the year 356 the temple of Artemis at Ephesus, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, was torched by a similarly indecisive man who, after numerous failures, vowed that now the world would remember him for ever. As a punishment, the Greeks decreed that his name must never be mentioned – and as a result it has never been forgotten. It was Herostratus. And so, perhaps, it will be, for better or worse, with John Robert Kerr. But like the glorious temple, the name of Edward Gough Whitlam will shine through the ages in spite of the destruction.

National dance festival sparks local Aboriginal heritage

The Kids Caring for Country dancers in action at the Laura festival.

An invitation to the renowned Laura festival in far north Queensland has helped inspire young Aboriginal dancers from the Murwillumbah/Tweed area. Their profound journey has now been made into a film, Dancing On Sacred Land, funded by Murwillumbah Communities For Children and auspiced by the Tweed Valley Women’s Service. Local filmmaker Sharon Shostak was brought in to shoot and edit the film. The Laura Festival is usually reserved for the Cape York mobs, and the experience of dancing there was transformational for all concerned. Dance leaders Denis Walker, who taught his culture from North Stradbroke

Island, and Deidre Currie always had the hope that the Tweed/Murwillumbah kids might become curious about their own culture and stories. The Kids Caring for Country Playgroup formed a dance troupe only four years ago and began to perform at many local community events. Parents and around 30 children learning alongside one another has bonded families, strengthened community relationships and provided healing for parents who hadn’t had access to Aboriginal culture as children. The Laura experience has since inspired the creation of new dance stories, and funds raised from an upcoming screening at Byron Commu-

The true cost of rocking the coast Timely letter from Mary Gardner on the limited options being considered for the Coastal Zone Management Plan (CZMP) (Echo, November 11). Will it be seawalls, groynes, sand pumping, a combination of these, or will it be planned retreat, where the shoreline is allowed to move back over time? This is a huge question for our shire with big cost implications. We need to get it right. The draft Management Study (the Study) examines the options and gives the highest ranking to engineered rock and sand ‘transfer’ schemes. In reaching this conclusion, how have the myriad issues under the ‘socio-ecological’ banner been considered? The loss of the beach and the impacts on the environment, tourism and the economy being key ques-

tions. Equally important is how well planned retreat has been understood and considered as an option. What are the costs of each option and how will we pay? In the Study these questions are reduced dispassionately to one simple phrase: Benefit Cost Ratio or BCR. This is an assessment of the economic value of benefits and costs for each option. How did the economist determine the BCR for each option? Answer, by making assumptions. Assumptions about the future of house prices, the economy, impacts on tourism and the costs of implementing planned retreat among other things. Natural environment is not valued. The Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) has reviewed the Study and produced an alternative

analysis that gives planned retreat the highest ranking BCR. Among other things, the original BCR rankings in the Study assumed that all the costs of planned retreat would occur immediately instead of gradually over time. An incredible miscalculation that shows how critical the assumptions are. The comments from OEH are appended to Report 13.9 of this week’s Council agenda. So, are we going to make a far-reaching decision based on a couple of digits without understanding fully the underlying assumptions of each BCR? Wouldn’t it be better if our decision making was informed by the social, cultural and environmental values of our community as much as the economic cost? Cr Basil Cameron Goonengerry

Indeed, these development proposals so upset deceased councillor Anudhi Wentworth that she personally contacted those involved and informed them that they were very foolish people, that the risks of the houses falling into the sea was very real and that they could cost Council (and no doubt ratepayers) lots of money. I recently met former residents who built their houses according to retreat specifications. They had just come to town and were perplexed by such directness. Anudhi did have fire in her belly and it was needed. Her predictions have come true. What is lost in this debate are the issues of personal responsibility, duty of care, legal warnings, environmental damage and above all transparency and accountability. How can such issues have been steamrollered out of civil consciousness by a coun-

cil posing as a representative democracy? Furthermore, aerial photos reveal that houses were developed over the coastal ridge line. Have they received Council approval? Has Council researched satellite images over the last two decades focusing on east coast erosion? The whole is always greater than the parts. We do need to go back historically on this debate before we move forward with further development. Ignoring such legal imperatives destroys due process and sets a future precedent for the further corporatisation of Byron. The Belongil and the Belongil Estuary have intrinsic value as valuable ecosystems. Will wilful ignorance of the laws of nature, civil society and democratic representation be further perverted by vested interests? It is hoped that we as citizens overcome middle-class

manners and acknowledge the need for the expression of the fire in our bellies. We owe it to all future life forms and especially Anudhi. (Researchers: I am aware that Anudhi donated all paper work to the Byron Library.) Jo Faith Newtown

The world is warming – are we ready to change? Q Last month was Australia’s hottest October on record. Record hot days in Australia are now 12 times more likely than record cold days. The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says there’s a 97 per cent chance that 2015 will be the hottest year on record. The UK Met Office warns that global warming has now exceeded one degree Celsius since pre-industrial times. The world continues to warm and momentum for action grows. People, communities and businesses are looking to be part of the solution, recognising we’re capable of innovation, change and action to avert the collision course we’re on with catastrophic impacts of climate change. Businesses are stepping up on climate action. Writing at The Conversation, Anna Skarbek of ClimateWorks Australia noted the growing number of companies that have

signed onto key climate commitments. She says, ‘Progressive companies have begun setting ambitious emissions reduction targets, reporting emissions and shifting to low carbon technologies. Others are turning ideas into reality and delivering practical solutions on the ground.’ Recently, Tesla Motors informed NSW parliamentarians about their rollout of electric vehicles, charging stations and household batteries. I had the opportunity to test drive their Model S, an exciting car that offers zeroemissions transport with innovative features including a self-driving ‘autopilot’ mode. I’ve been proud to be involved in the establishment of Enova Energy, Australia’s first community-owned energy retailer. Enova aims to reflect the northern rivers community’s commitment to sustainability and social responsibility by supplying clean energy.

But Australia can’t just rely on voluntary action. Policy and regulation are needed to lock in a path to reduced emissions. Yet state and federal governments, along with the largest opposition party, continue to fail on climate leadership. A submission to the federal consultation on post-2020 emissions targets prepared by the NSW government – which warned of the significant risks facing the state’s people, environment and economy without cuts in emissions – wasn’t lodged, despite being sent to the premier’s office for approval. The federal government is holding to its weak emissions target and playing an inadequate role in international negotiations, with reports Australia has blocked moves to cut off OECD funding for dirty coal power plants. Meanwhile, opposition leader Bill Shorten visited Pacific islands threatened by

rising sea levels only to tell them that Labor has no intention of stopping coal mining. The many people and communities who recognise the risks of climate change aren’t going to stand by while governments put the wellbeing of future generations at risk. Backed by community funding, the Australian Conservation Foundation has launched legal action against the approval of Adani’s Carmichael coal mine in the Galilee Basin. They argue that Greg Hunt failed in his duty to consider the climate change impacts, particularly the threat to the Great Barrier Reef, that would be caused by burning the coal from the mine. The Greens are standing with communities, supporting innovative industries and pressing all governments for climate action. The Australian Greens endorsed the ambitious and essential goal of limiting global warming to 1.5

degrees above pre-industrial levels. In NSW, I’ve introduced a Climate Change Bill that would hold all governments accountable for having strong, comprehensive climate policies. I’m proud that we’ve been the clear, optimistic and strong voice on this issue. Every one of us must consider how history will think of us if we waste time, if we lack courage, and if we fail in meeting the challenge of climate action. Jan Barham Greens member of the NSW Legislative Council Q A recent article in the jour-

nal Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems reports a spike in the number of methane plumes emanating from coastal ocean depths of about 500 metres (H Paul Johnson et al). This may be the beginning of methane hydrate destabilisation in non-Arctic waters.

Initially most of the methane is dissolving in the ocean and reacting with oxygen to form carbon dioxide. As a result the coastal water is becoming de-oxygenated which is disrupting the marine ecosystem. There are enormous quantities of the very powerful global warming gas, methane, stored in these hydrates. Release can be expected to follow an exponential trend as a result of many natural feedback systems if we don’t act fast. We need to impress upon our political leaders the extreme urgency of replacing coal, gas, and oil with renewable energy sources. Take note that the weekend of 28 (Brisbane) and 29 (Byron) November is the time to let our voices be heard in our global millions. Join the People’s Climate Marches; it may nott be ttoo oo late.

A perilous path for holiday letting (and neighbours) Anyone who still doubts that holiday letting is illegal should check out an article regarding insurance, which appeared in the SMH on November 12. The basis of the article is a study showing that many landlords aren’t covered by insurance. It quotes AAMI as saying ‘landlord insurance doesn’t cover any short-term accommodation’. It goes on to say that typical landlords’ insurance will only insure stays longer than 90 days and

often requires copies of residential tenancy agreements. In some circumstances being an Airbnb host could make an existing policy void, ie you pay out premiums and get no protection in return. This reinforces the notion that residential zones are for residents, not tourists. Terri Scheerer Insurance is quoted as saying of Airbnb’s $1 million guarantee, ‘there were so many variables with Airbnb that every host should check with their insurance

provider on an individual basis’. I note that Fairfax, the producers of the SMH, own a holiday-letting outfit called Stayz, though they never mention this conflict of interest when they write about holiday letting. The article in question seems to be an exercise in covering their arse by encouraging holiday letters to get ‘good’ insurance. I don’t see how you can have a valid insurance policy that covers a prohibited act. True, individual insurance companies might explicitly state that they do cover holiday letting but such a guarantee would be legally unenforceable should they subsequently refuse to pay up. Even if they did agree to pay up it might be open to a third party such as a shareholder in an insurance company or the insurer’s insurance company to legally challenge the arrangement. It also occurs to me that if

you do your holiday letting business via outfits like Airbnb or Stayz then these companies would be required to keep substantive permanent records of business transacted. That would make it more difficult to deceive your insurer to the effect that you only had long-term tenants. It could also have implications for taxation; I mean, how many owners declare their real income from a property? You don’t pay tax on illegal transactions – though the taxation department is quite happy to accept it, mind you. Fast Buck$ Coorabell Q During

A revised version of Council’s holiday letting policy, designed to regulate holiday letting, proceeded through the DPE Gateway Determination and is now on public exhibition. It can be seen at http:// yoursaybyronshire.com.au/ holiday-letting. Two levels of compliance are allowed. A number of existing holiday lets will need to proceed through the DA process. Others will follow the exempt process regulation. There are a number of regulations that will give protection to neighbours of holiday lets. However, to proceed through the Gateway Determination Council was required to delete some of the provisions that previously applied. For instance, the provision

‘Outdoor areas (including pools, spas) not to be used between 10pm and 8am’ will apply to DA-approved holiday lets but will not apply to those who are exempt. This deletion of a major regulation significantly reduces protection for neighbours. Council has the power to argue to the DPE that such a clause also applies to exempt holiday lets. Failing that, it also has the power to argue that all holiday lets should be DA processed. There are other instances of regulations that need revision to preserve residential amenity.

Liberal / National Party Coalition Leader Malcolm Turnbull has conﬁrmed that he and his government are looking to increase the GST. The GST is a regressive and unfair tax that hits everybody, but hits low and middle income families and pensioners the hardest. Fact: Liberal / National Party Coalition Leader Malcolm Turnbull would rather tax hardworking Australians and pensioners, than tackle multinational tax avoidance. Labor will not support an increase to the GST, because increasing the tax would inﬂict the heaviest punishment on those least able to afford it. Instead, Labor has a fair and better plan to make multinationals pay their fair share of tax.

THANKS EVERYONE

Show office now open 8.30am-5pm Phone 6687 1033

For the theme of the 116th annual Bangalow Show we are looking forward to looking back, at the year 1915 and life here, on the ‘Home Front’. During the annual show, the A&I Hall reverts back to its traditional name of The Pavilion, and these walls will house some of the best examples of local exhibitors’ baking, preserves, fruit and vegetables and horticulture prowess as well as craft, art, photography and creative writing. The stage area will be devoted to exhibits inspired by the ‘1915 Home Front’ theme, covering an overwhelming variety of subjects from the Suffragettes, Duke Kahanamoku and the introduction of surfing, May Gibbs and her Gumnut Babies to, of course, our soldiers fighting overseas in WWI.

FRIDAY Twenty-five dogs will be working cattle in the main ring from 6.30 in the morning, competing in the Working Dog Trials. Sixty-three years ago, auctioneer Fraser Ramsey, from Bonalbo Show, helped create the rules for cattledog trials and he will be attending the show as a guest commentator. What better to start your day, especially if you then have to head off to work, than to watch these brilliant dogs competing in an event that is uniquely Australian. The hugely popular Children’s Pet Parade is also on Friday in the Scarrabletti Ring. Pets must be entered by 3.45pm & entry is free. Children should have only one pet in their care and does not include spiders or insects. Born-and-bred local Luke Butler is returning to Bangalow with his one-man play JACK - My Home Front aimed at primary school children. Performances of this very physical and funny play will be on both Friday and Saturday. The SSSShhhhhhhh Silent Film entries will be shown on Friday evening, outside beside the Moller Pavilion. Competition entries should be no more than three minutes long and will be shown before and after a beautiful little montage of Charlie Chaplin and the short film feature The Marvellous Corricks. The Corrick family of musical entertainers travelled the world performing in the pre-WW1 years, including a concert in Bangalow at the School of Arts in 1908.

This is another important step forward in making this community driven project become a reality. It’s worth noting that Ballina Council hasn’t allocated any funding towards this project so it is being progressed by a group of dedicated volunteers who feel that an ocean pool in Ballina would be a great addition to our coastal reserve. Our group has been overwhelmed with offers of support from a range of local professionals including University professors, state government officials, engineers, surveyors, construction companies, planners, builders, plumbers, etc, who all see the value and benefits that an ocean pool would bring to our community. The rock shelf between Shelly and Lighthouse beaches has been chosen because it would allow the pool to be interactive with the ocean (tidal flushing) and the proximity of local infrastructure already in place. With so many local professionals volunteer-

North Coast news daily: ing their time, our aim for a world-class, low maintenance, aesthetically pleasing ocean pool should become a reality. We will be working hard to deliver it sooner rather than later. It is also our belief that state and federal government grants, along with local sponsors and partnerships, will cover the full cost of construction. Cr Jeff Johnson Lennox Head

Roundhouse saga Re the ongoing saga of the Roundhouse site at Ocean Shores. It was the original office for Wendell West, the first developers. They gave it to Council to be a community centre. There were a lot of artworks bought to display there. Some years later there was a big shitfight and Council was forced to buy the site back from a couple of local real estate agents. Who did they buy it from and for how much? What happened to the artwork? Now Council

Byron Shire Council makes timely plans for sea-level rise.

wants to sell it and people with the same name as the estate agents are campaigning to stop the sale and make it a community centre. Is all this legal? W B Crompton Mullumbimby

Control issues I refer to the article on Cuba on page 11 of last week’s Echo. On Phillip Frazer’s reporting it appears that the Castro brothers should be congratulated on keeping Cuba in such a strong position.

One can only imagine what state Australia would have been in had Rudd and Gillard been given 55 days, let alone 55 years, of unconditional control of the nation. All I can say is ‘Viva La Democracy’. Tim Harrington Lennox Head

Ch… ch… changes This morning I took a walk on the lighthouse track, thinking that the national park, at least, would be unchanged. Alas, no.

The terrace by the cafe near the lighthouse is being torn up, so the cafe is closed. If you are thinking about enjoying a reviving beverage while calmly enjoying the view, forget it. This caused me to review in my mind all the changes that are going on in Byron. A new hospital is going up, with a new roundabout in front of it, and another roundabout is planned for McGettigans Lane. The route to town will soon be wild and whirling as well as gridlocked. Soon there will presumably be construction on the old hospital site, too. Half of the Woolies car park is becoming a deluxe shopping centre with underground parking. The old council chambers in Lawson Street are being extensively renovated, as is the corner shop near the clocktower. West Byron seems destined for huge changes and, in an effort to cope, the Shirley Street entrance to town is being reconstructed, we all hope for the better. And who

knows where the markets are going? Soon nothing in Byron will be the same except the beaches. Oops, sorry, no, I forgot Belongil. After all these changes, will the town be better? To be honest, as far as the tourist business is concerned, I think the answer is yes. Tourists love to squander their money on overpriced goods of little value. Witness the number of clothing shops in the main street. Why should the whole Byron experience be any different? As far as being a place where real people live, however, I think the answer is no. I think Byron will follow the fate of Venice, a beautiful city which used to have about 160,000 residents, and now has only about 60,000 – most of the buildings are occupied by tourists, about 55,000 a day. Byron’s fame, like Venice’s, will keep it going a long time, but I predict tour groups before too long. Charles MacFarland Ewingsdale

Get inside the Courthouse By: Vivienne Pearson

You have no doubt walked past before braving one of Mullumbimy’s famous pedestrian crossings. You may have appreciated the protection from the sun and rain that the bull-nosed verandah provides. But have you gone inside to check out the Court House Hotel’s restaurant? Located on the corner of the two main Mullum streets (Burringbar and Dalley), the Courthouse Restaurant is relaxed and stylish, with a black and wood colour scheme. Though it can seat up to 120 people, the Courthouse avoids the cavernous feel of many newer pub-based eateries. 1. Peter and Mick. 2. Handmade tortellini 3.

FORGET ABOUT THE GENRES, JUST ENJOY THE MUSIC! Welcome to the eighth Mullum Music Festival. Over four days we hope to once again bring the streets, halls, pubs, cafes, bars and parks of Mullumbimby alive with music. This year’s program promises to be one of our most diverse to date, with artists coming to the festival from Germany, USA, Canada, UK, Zimbabwe, NZ, Ireland and Kenya, along with a host of musicians from all over Australia, including a large contingent of brilliant local artists. Possibly more than any previous year, the stylistic choices of the performers are varied, while the high calibre of the music is assured. I am often asked what I think makes for a good festival. For me the best festivals have a beginning, a middle and an end. More than just a bunch of gigs, at a great festival the audience becomes lost in the experience. It’s about enjoying the moment, about having fun and about sharing that experience with others around us. This year’s Mullum Music Festival really started back in August when Harry Angus, our festival patron, visited Mullumbimby for two days. Harry attended the first local street parade rehearsal for the year, held some music workshops with up-and-coming musicians at local schools, spruiked the festival to media and had a sing and drink with the Dustyeksy men’s choir. It was about that time that local music promoter Mary Cannon started putting together her ‘Down from The Mountain’ concept that will feature many artists from the festival on the Sunday. It was also around then that I met with Hannah Forrester from Mullum Seed and she begun creating an amazing program to be incorporated into this year’s festival, showcasing the award-winning Mullum Community Gardens, and much more. The Gala Opening Night has again sold out and marks the start of the festival proper. This year we are honoured that Delta and Nigel from the Arakwal Bundjalung people will perform our Welcome to Country. On Friday we host a free concert at the Mullum Farmers Markets, featuring the amazing Yeshe (Aus) and Kurai (Zimbabwe), as well

as former local, legendary bluesman Lez Karski, who is returning to the area for a few special appearances. Friday night the entire town comes alive with concerts and gigs, including performances from legendary Canadian singer songwriter Ron Sexsmith, roots reggae legends Trinity Roots (NZ) and the mesmerising flamenco act from Melbourne, Arte Kanela. Local choirs are out in force with the soulful Raise the Roof Choir bringing music to the streets, while the rather intriguing Dustyesky Choir bring the bars of Mullum alive with song. We are blessed in Mullumbimby to have the Community Gardens, Heritage Park, and some truly amazing markets. For the first time since the festival began, it coincides with the Saturday Mullumbimby Market, at the southern end of Stuart Street. It’s another great Mullumbimby tradition that goes all morning and is worth dropping in to experience a bit of local market life Mullum style. The festival program for the Saturday starts star at 8am with yoga at the Civic Hall and finishes at midnight with the Melbourne cclub-inspired Jazz Party the Village Vanguard. at th musical highlights that Some mu might not be on your radar yet, possibly should be, include but possib Hein Cooper, Coope Mt Warning, Raised Jnr, Montaigne, By Eagles, Jones Jo Anne McCue McCue, Jenn Grant (Canada),

CAMPING SHUTTLE From the official festival camping grounds, the Mullum Showgrounds. This year courtesy vehicles from the campground to the festival have been provided by AWOL Adventures.

The Sunday of the festival is for me the fun day. It starts with some workshops and a few early concerts, including a concert by the amazing Chris Tamwoy at 10am. St John’s primary school also present a showcase at St Martin’s Hall at 10am. Then at 11am the street parade kicks off at the Council Chambers, marching straight down Burringbar Street, turning onto Dalley Street to finish at the Civic Hall. The street parade is a free event and unique in its joy and simplicity. Dress up in bright colours and come and join us as we fill the streets of Mullumbimby with music and dancing. Straight after the street parade all venues start their programs for the day, with more than 12 stages going through till 10pm, including performances by the legendary Robert Forster, The California Honeydrops (US) , Ben Ottewell (UK), a very special tribute to Nina Simone and a collaboration between Ollie McGill and Greg Sheehan that is not to be missed. Down From The Mountain, will feature the music from O’ Brother Where Art Thou featuring the Bellingen’s cult bluegrass sensation The Mid North and many guests from the festival lineup. The Mullum Music Festival is a wrist-banded event. Wearing the official festival wrist band gives you access to all the venues involved (depending on venue capacity). It’s important you get to your ‘must see’ gigs early so that you don’t miss out, as it is inevitable some shows will fill up. I hope you have a great weekend of music! – Glenn Wright, Festival Director

With Integrity & Light

Self-deprecating, almost to a fault, Ron Sexsmith has been a critical success ever since his self-titled debut back in 1995, winning the admiration of major-league songwriters such as Elvis Costello and Paul McCartney along the way. Commercial success, however, has not been so forthcoming for the boy from the bluecollar town of St Catharines, Ontario, but that I guess is part of his enigma. ‘I guess I was chasing stardom at one point,’ he says. ‘But then I stopped. To be honest I think the lack of commercial success has been more annoying to the folks around me. I sometimes get people asking why aren’t I playing stadiums? Well it’s certainly no mystery to me why I’m not. It’s just not that kind of music. I really didn’t expect the Long Player album to do as well as it did either. Not that it sold like Lady Gaga but it did do pretty well for me. It even led us to headlining Royal Albert Hall in 2013. My career was given a much-needed kick in the pants, which I didn’t see coming. I thought those days were gone for me, but it definitely reawakened a dormant fanbase, especially in the UK. Since then, I feel like I’ve got my career back!’ Experience Sexsmith’s enormous empathy, his occasional sentimentality and his often-overlooked playfulness. One festival show only: Friday 8.30pm at the Mullum Civic Hall.

Ben Ottewell

Ron Sexsmith

We Two Thieves

BEN OTTEWELL (UK) As a singer and lead guitarist in rock band Gomez, Ben Ottewell is well known for his unmistakable voice and talent for blistering and inspired guitar solos. Rolling Stone declared, ‘Gomez’s not-so-secret weapon is Ben Ottewell’. And as GQ Magazine once wrote and anyone listening can attest, ‘[his] voice is not of this world’. Since his first solo release Shapes & Shadows (ATO 2011), Ottewell has been pleasing audiences with a series of successful acoustic tours across the UK, US and Australia. Now with a newly recorded album of songs for his second solo project, Rattlebag, the singer is set to return to the road, performing his new music. ‘There’s a time and place for us / I will take you there,’ he sings (Shoreline). Ben Ottewell proffers hope and promise accompanied by sublime acoustic and slide guitars, and that’s something we can all use. Ben Ottewell plays the Mullum Civic Hall on Sunday at 4.30pm.

The California Honeydrops

WE TWO THIEVES Combining the forces of Emily Lubitz (Tin Pan Orange) and Mama Kin is We Two Thieves, a folk and Americana blended pop act supported by multi-instrumentalist Dave Mann. Peppered with tales of mischievous lovers, broken hearts and tender rebels, together these two musical mamas present an undaunted celebration of the treasures of live. Saturday at 6.30pm at the Civic Hall and Sunday at 6pm at the High School.

THE CALIFORNIA HONEYDROPS (US) They’ve been chosen to join Bonnie Raitt on a 8-week tour of the US, and you know why? Because The California Honeydrops don’t just play music, they throw a party! Led by dynamic vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Lech Wierzynski, and drawing on diverse musical influences from Bay Area R&B, funk, Southern soul, Delta blues, and New Orleans second-line, the Honeydrops bring

They don’t just play reggae, they also embody stripped-back jazzand soul-influenced rhythmic sound, building up to highly emotional drum- and guitar-led solos. Kicking off in 1998 and disbanding in 2005, the band re-formed in 2010 and have played sold-out tours ever since. Like Trinity Roots their contemporaries, Fat Freddy’s Drop, Trinity Roots create a loyal fanbase powered through their live performances and word of mouth!

One of the innovative features of Mullum Music Festival is its commitment to shining the light on some of the extraordinary talent we have in our region. Byron Bay five-piece TORA are one such outfit. After winning the Triple J Unearthed comp the band played Splendour in the Grass and then headed for Europe and the US to broaden their musical horizons. Interview by Mandy Nolan Jo Loewenthal (guitar, vocals, samples) credited the musical synergy with the excellent grounding they got at school.

' $ ' " !'

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We all went to school at Shearwater together. The drummer (Thorne Davis) was in the year above us and the guitarist (Jai Piccone) was our best friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youngest brother. I started teaching him guitar and vocals and songwriting and when we decided to make a band we bought him on board because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just so enthusiastic!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; One of the key strengths of Tora is the songwriting relationship Jo has with vocalist and synth player Tobias Tunis. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Tobyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and my songwriting relationship has been going for years â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we have always had a connection,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; says Jo. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;When we recorded the first Tora tracks we noticed that the reaction was stronger; we put out four singles before we made our first EP.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Bass player Shaun Johnston is Toraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fifth player, the oldest of them, being only 22!

online, and then we decide we want to put a song up in three weeks. It happens really organically. This year we have done a bit more marketing working with PR and label partners.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The decision to target marketing their music with a strong online presence came after studying music at NR Conservatorium in Lismore. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We had an understanding of where the music industry was moving. Social media is the future so we focused a lot of our energy into that. The first couple of years have been dedicated to growing a fanbase. We wanted it to be as natural as possible. There is something special about your friend showing you music. We wanted to build a story rather than to make it through some sort of PR machine.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; And build a story they did, with chapters including shows in the US, Canada, Mexico and Europe. Pretty impressive for country kids from a Steiner school. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;It was weird how it happened,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; says Jo. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We got an agent in Europe and in North America â&#x20AC;&#x201C; both are really solid â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and they kept giving us offers and we decided that we would work

those six months. We played Glastonbury, Great Escape â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Fusion Festival â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that was cool to experience from the other side of the fence. Even in Mexico we played festivals and there has been a surprising fanbase already, and the impact of coming away from those shows is that the fanbase is growing. Right now, our fanbase in Germany is stronger than our fanbase in Australia! Our shows are getting bigger all the time.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

That was a bit of a bang, and around that time we won the Triple J Unearthed and got to play Splendour; and then we got contacted for international touringâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

So what have been the key turning points for Tora?

Tora now play one show only, Friday 6.30pm at the High School.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say in June last year when we released a track, a collaboration with Merryn from Potato Potato, and that song blew up online: got 10,000 plays in one day.

After months playing internationally Tora are excited about facing their home crowd. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;It will be a lot easier to vibe because of the familiar faces in the crowd. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a nice energetic show!â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Toraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prviously scheduled Saturday 6.45pm spot at the High School is now being filled byÂ Winterbourne at 7pm.

WINTERBOURNE James Draper and Jordan Brady, who met at the age of 12, bonded over rock music. Throughout their teens, they started writing songs, busking on the weekends, playing pubs, sharing their music in any situation that would allow them to do so and touring across the country in a 1989 Volkswagen named Randall. They released their debut EP All but the Sun (2014), which has now sold more than 17,000 copies. Their incessant touring and festival appearances have seen Winterbourne build a loyal following across the country and a reputation as a live act renowned for their energetic performance, unique chemistry onstage and beautiful harmonies. The Central Coast duo has just released their new single To Get To Know You, produced by ARIA-winning producer Eric J Dubowsky (Chet Faker, Flight Facilities, Bluejuice). For this track, Winterbourne have blended their distinctive, strong melodies and harmonies with electric and acoustic guitars to give the follow-up to single Steady My Bones, an altrock style with a 60s rock/pop feel and influence. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no wonder the likes of Patrick James, Little May, and recently The Rubens have invited them on their national tours, and they played to full rooms during their first-ever headline national tour early this year. They play the High School Saturday 7pm.

IRISH MYTHEN (IRE) Born and raised in County Wexford, Ireland, Irish Mythen has travelled the globe – playing in Europe, Australia, the Middle East and the UK. Her music has the root of small communities and the strength of a loyal fanbase. During her travels she has worked with a host of world-renowned artists such as Tom Paxton, The Dubliners and The Pogues. She has shared stages with Emmylou Harris, Gordon Lightfoot, and Peter Yarrow, to name but a few. Since her migration to Canada in 2008 Irish has been honoured to create music and memories with Gordie Sampson, Joel Plaskett, Ron Hynes, Matt Andersen, Bruce Guthro and Dave Gunning. She has become an admired and respected artist on the Canadian scene. Catch her at St Martin’s Hall on Saturday at 9pm and the same place and time on Sunday.

MONTAIGNE Nineteen-year-old Montaigne showcases a powerful vocal talent way beyond her years. Her recently released EP Life of Montaigne has been met with well-deserved hype, but it’s the live delivery that is resonating with fans and critics alike. She was awarded the Next Big Thing at FBi Radio’s 2014 SMAC Awards because she is. The next big thing. See her while you can still get up close. Saturday at 8.30pm at the High School.

MICROWAVE JENNY After meeting in Sydney for rehearsals and gigs and realising they both shared similar ideas in love and music, husband-andwife duo Tessa and Brendan tied the knot on what was to become a pop / folk / love duo. Warm, infectious music that will bring a smile to even the most jaded dial. Opening night at the Civic Hall, Friday at the Drill Hall at 9pm and Saturday at the Bowlo at 1pm.

SHE IS ONE OF THE ‘ M U S T S E E S ’ AT T H E M U L L U M M U S I C F E S T I VA L T H I S W E E K E N D. She and her MPC 1000 Sampling Station, dubbed ‘Lola’, have proved to be a partnership like no other. ‘I would never have expected myself to be doing this when I was playing acoustic guitar,’ says Estere. ‘I have always had very clear musical inclinations toward drums and rhythmic music – and gravitate toward that sort of thing when I listen to music. ‘Then I started getting exposed to production by friends using MPCs and making beats, so I started thinking of my live setup playing acoustic, and nothing was really happening. I never had an affinity with the guitar; I always felt like I was going back to square one every time I picked it up. ‘I did a course called Sonic Arts and that introduced me to the principles of production. I had to produce assignments and I found the process so natural and easy and had heaps of fun doing it, and I had ideas about mixing from the get go!’ ‘LOLA is what I call my MPC – they are like a flat

black oblong box, and have been around since the 80s. It’s like when you buy a car or something and you immediately have an affectionate connection with this object that you are constantly around. The same thing happened with Lola because she has a sizeable body and I hang out with her all the time. She took on a personality right from the get go I decided she might as well be my friend. So I called her Lola!’ Estere’s live shows are very different from the usual acoustic singer/songwriter’s. While much of her music has been recorded earlier, it has been recorded and composed by Estere who triggers beats and sounds live onstage. ‘When I am onstage I tell her what to do; and I have an electronic drum kit and synthesiser and I am singing and dancing at the same time. It’s five things all comprising a show; it’s quite a lot to do! At the same time I like to think of it as a show and it’s important to have dynamics; sometimes I am

bringing in elements from song to song so there is always variation. It’s like a different form of live performance – in a conventional performance you have a band and an instrument – but for me I am triggering and conducting the sound that is already pre-programmed but I am doing it in a live setting, which is something that I really am into exploring as an artist – what it means for me to be performing and playing my music at the same time.’ The collection process is part of the creative discovery for Estere. ‘It’s so much fun. I love going out and looking for samples. I am like the person who hears a baby crying because they are tired, or a glass smashing, and I think, damn I wish I’d sampled that! When it comes to sound recording, it’s a world of opportunity, and with a digital sound recording you can take that recorded sound and manipulate

another 20 sounds from it!’ Estere’s musical themes are powerful and grand. She’s not drawn to the usual themes of personal love and heartbreak. Her stories are bigger, broader and more encompassing. ‘I am all for storytelling on end concept – I like to write songs that are strong conceptually. For example, I just wrote a song called Ambition which is about a high-class prostitute who wants to become the president of the US – like a French courtesan who mixes as the highest of the high! ‘I like to develop the song ideas into something that is new. I like to make songs I haven’t heard the theme of before. When you see my show you should be expecting new concepts – new songs concepts you haven’t heard before!’ And of course, lots and lots of dancing! Estere plays Mullum Music Festival this weekend.

ROUND THE TWIST Well, it looks like the writing is on the wall for me when it comes to dementia. A British study has revealed the link between having a twisted sense of humour and the onset of one of our most feared diseases of cognitive

decline: Alzheimer’s. Turns out Oscar Wilde wasn’t a genius after all – the poor bugger was dementing! I’ve had a twisted sense of humour for years. In fact, it’s how I pay my mortgage, support the kids, put food on

the table. I see twisted shit everywhere. Without a twisted sense of humour you’d never be able to live in Mullumbimby. Should we be gating ourselves in as Australia’s first dedicated dementia community? I wonder about the satire-impaired scientists who conducted the study using their comedic blandness as a benchmark for normalcy. How does a person live in a twisted world without a twisted perspective? The world is a very, very, very twisted place – have a good look around at the dark ironies that pepper our planet: The very people who were entrusted to educate and care for our children turned out to be paedophiles; America’s public enemy number one, Osama Bin Laden, was originally trained by them; and no-one on Dancing with the Stars is actually a star. Last week I encountered some very well-meaning ladies selling stuffed toys to raise money for

children with cancer. Ironically the stuffed toys were made in Indonesia, probably by children. But we weren’t raising money for the Third World exploited kiddies, just our nice white sick kids. I know it’s a bit wrong. But that makes me laugh. Not because I’m sick, or find children with cancer or children who are victims of exploitation remotely titillating, but because the world is a sick fuck and I figure you have to laugh at our stupid hypocrisies. Anne Frank famously said in her adolescent diary, ‘In spite of everything I still believe people are good at heart?’ How can Anne be so full of forgiveness for her captors? I guess Anne was only 14 and she didn’t know how her story was going to end. I think, despite everything, people may occasionally be good at heart, like their intentions are good, except when it comes to self-interest or rampant opportunism, and then goodness is auctioned

off to the highest bidder. We like to think we’re good, but generally we’re only good when we think people are watching. Nothing has made me laugh more than the infamous ‘tap’ of Mullumbimby. Mel’s Well was a fuzzy feelgood attempt to give our local community somewhere to fill up on filtered water. It’s a lovely idea, and would work if humans weren’t capable of such unchecked opportunism. In the two years that tap has been operational, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a single person fill up a water bottle. I have, however, seen people front up with water coolers. Buckets. Forty-four-gallon Drums. And on one occasion a small truck with a hose that fed into a tank. What makes me laugh hardest is that the business that was supplying the ‘filtered’ water is now gone. As I imagine is the filter. It’s basically just a tap. Someone, and I have no idea who, is now paying for

half of Mullumbimby and Main Arm’s water supply. I find that hysterical. I don’t think Mel’s Well anymore. I think Mel’s very very disappointed. I thought that was funny. Now I discover it’s not because it’s actually amusing; it’s because I’m a slowly dementing twisted bitch. The other day when I was reading Trivia questions I had to ask, ‘What is a BUSTARD?’ I immediately thought an adult over 30 who has lost their licence and has to get a school bus into Byron. It’s happened to me. I know what it felt like. I have been a BUS–TARD. Apparently it’s some sort of bird. Ho-hum. I thought my answer was much better. I love people with twisted humour. It’s a glorious human trait. Who doesn’t piss themselves laughing when a politician falls over? After some contemplation I have reached the conclusion I would rather dement and and live life with the twisted then spend a single hour with the humourless.

The MTC put it on with Geoffrey Rush as ‘man in chair’. It’s like a comedy within a musical; man in chair is the narrator who talks people through his favourite musical. It’s a lovely device – the whole show comes alive around him.’ Before she was a singer/ songwriter, Melia Naughton was an actor. ‘I went to the VCA where I studied acting for three years, and did a lot of theatre in Melbourne before I moved here and reconnected with my sister and music. Prior to moving here theatre was my world. I haven’t done a professional musical for years! I am a trained actor and musician. This is great because in this show I can do a bit of everything. It’s a local production where I get to act and sing!’ ‘The Drowsy Chaperone (my character) is world weary, desperate to fall in love, clinging

onto the spotlight, a cynic and essentially a charismatic and scene-stealing gorgeous alcoholic! Supposedly she’s meant to “oversee” and “chaperone” the younger Janet but, frankly, champagne sounds more deliciously interesting! It’s quite refreshing to play an older / wiser / saucier role – my last stage performance in 2014 was as a very young naive religious girl from the south of America in the Mullum Drill Hall’s Five women wearing the same dress, written by Alan Ball. ‘It’s my character’s job to guide the lead character – Janet Vandergraffe; she is a fantastic dancer and singer, the ultimate 1920s showgirl. This is played by Sarah Jarvis, mother of three, who runs a performing arts school in Mullum. She is a tapdancing and high-kick starlet!’ Of course, as a showgirl once herself, can the counsel of the Drowsy Chaperone be trusted? Like a lot of women of that era, the talented Miss Vandergraffe Charleston said the showcase is set to be a wonderful event, with a range of musical styles and fusions on show. ‘These original compositions have been bubbling in an alchemical cauldron to create a strange brew. One moment jazz dances a tango with the blues, the next, Afro-funk fusion hits the stage,’ Alicia said. From ballads from the love-lorn heart to dream pop and punk alongside folk, roots and soulful originals. Former alumni

must choose between love of the stage or love of a man. Ironically the theme is echoed in the cast, and the theatre company in general, comprising predominantly Mums returning to the stage. A mother now herself, Melia reflects on the challenges of balancing motherhood with a creative career. (She and Nerida, the other half of Scarlett Affection, are on a hiatus while they bring up their kids.) Being in a group of other mothers has been a lot of fun. ‘You don’t realise how lovely it is until you are in this mix of a room and they are like you; it’s very supportive, it’s a huge undertaking.’ The founders of the company are Anoushka Gammon and Adrienne Lester: Women Melia describes as ‘passionate and creative. Their idea was to create a theatre company for Bangalow because we didn’t’ have one. Anoushka is a choreographer and Adrienne is producing. to graduate from the academy include the likes of Blue King Brown frontwoman Nattali Rize, and Dolphin Award winners Kellie Knight from Kellie Knight and the Daze and Tom Avery aka Blakboi. Northern Rivers Conservatorium’s Diploma of Music course is currently open for application. Prospective students can find out more by visiting www.nrcac. edu.au. The Academy Showcase will be held on Thursday at the Northern Hotel 7.30–9.30 pm.

The show also has some impressive directorial talent at the helm. ‘Jo Franklin is one of the directors. She is a performing arts professional and has worked as a theatremaker, teacher and director in America, UK and Australia. Philippa Williams-Brett also is directing and she has directed and performed at the Globe Theatre in London among other international credits.’ Melia is excited about being part of a show with ‘great choreography and lots of dancing – ensemble dancing… we haven’t seen anything like this for ages!’ With a cast of 20, this is some enormous feat to get to stage with dancers, actors and musicians all taking to the stage. ‘It’s been a Broadway classic and been staged in New York, London, Japan, Toronto and Melbourne, and now Bangalow!’ says Melia, who is enthusiastic about her involvement with this fledgling company. ‘The BTC is a not-for-profit organisation Tickets cost $18.40 for adults, $15.30 for children and $47.00 for a family ticket (prices include booking fee).

TAURUS: If this week turns up the heat under bubbling power struggles so they boil over, don’t harden into a rigid stance; stay loose and flexy. Sure, others are game-playing. Question is: are you going to waste time being cranky about that, or decide to smilingly engage and possibly win?

GEMINI: Mental-as-anything Geminis aren’t comfortable with explosive emotions, so avoid them by keeping in mind that this week’s probably the year’s worst for gossip or trash talk. Beware whom you share critical grizzles and grumbles with, or trust with a secret. Right now it’s advisable to keep your own counsel.

ARIES: This week’s waters feel murky and muddy? You’re

not wrong. Buddhist master Tilopa has the best advice: Let go of what has passed. Let go of what may come. Let go of what is happening now. Don’t try to figure anything out. Or try to make anything happen. Relax, right now, and rest.

CANCER: With the present combo of Venus and Mars in your home zone, exchanges seem charged with hidden meanings, and perhaps they are. Change isn’t always easy for your sentimental sign, but a break from an ongoing situation, or a change of direction’s indicated. Somewhere someone or something’s gotta give…

SAGITTARIUS: Rants about other peoples’ inadequacies and deficiencies are more than likely to provoke unwelcome consequences this week, so be circumspect. The mood you project will determine the success of your results. Stay present, pay attention to the moment and focus on what you’re doing – multitasking could cause accidents.

CAPRICORN: With Venus and Mars stimulating your ambitious, entrepreneurial drive, it’s wise this week to ditch hardline ultimatums in favour of those pretty sophisticated negotiating skills. Moderate the expression of strong opinions. And remember that expecting people to be other than they are could spoil the enjoyment of what is actually on offer.

LEO: You have large hearts, majesties; don’t let others less generous take advantage of them this week. After an intense two years of relationship challenges, Saturn’s now in your sector of passion and self expression – a far more enjoyable cycle that takes your artistic talents to new professional areas. VIRGO: This week’s all-or-nothing attitude definitely has its exasperating aspects. If others are infuriatingly stubborn, remember people don’t usually improve by being criticised – and besides, arguments upset those sensitive Virgo nerves. Venus is currently ideally situated for relaxing with your preferred variety of artistic leisure pursuit – or a style upgrade. LIBRA: With Mars/Venus in Libra you’re even more charmingly persuasive than usual, and this week’s story is about working with opposites to find common ground. Making your featured activity reconciling simmering situations, people that can’t relate or figures that don’t add up. Not easy with Neptune’s fog operating, but that’s your brief.

SCORPIO: Clarity’s the big ask this week, which is rife with suspicion, disinformation and miscommunication – the perfect opportunity to exercise your creative side. Mercury in your sign assists with clear, incisive, articulate language to air and examine issues, grudges or misunderstandings. Let the past rest in peace so the present may flourish.

CULTURE

CONVERSATION ABOUT COMMUNITY

produce to their communities through farmers markets, an expert on ancient wisdoms and the negative impacts of globalisation, Helena has much of her own wisdom to share, along with some challenging ideas meant to shift us from our comfort zones. Then I started talking with Mark Swivel – a new arrival to Mullumbimby, a lawyer and a writer and a keen advocate of micro-finance as an agent of change in economically challenged communities. It just started to take shape and seemed

the right thing for a fundraiser for a Neighbourhood Centre that is instrumental in providing support to so many ever-diminishing resources. Then I went to see Russel Brand and left feeling really pissed off that some bloke who banged on about capitalism charged $140 a ticket – then talked about the death of self, the death of the individual, and then showed videos of himself and sold t-shirts with his face on them! Is talking about change actually enough? Do you actually need to embody it? Find out

C BY JOHN CAMPBELL

TANNA

You just can’t beat a simple story told well - not that simplicity need necessarily be divorced from profundity. Australian filmmakers Martin Butler and Bentley Dean have taken their crew to one of the islands of Vanuatu and, with local tribesmen and women as their cast, produced a remarkable movie in which a compelling narrative is closely attuned to the murmurings of the heart. It’s all about love, with an echo of Shakespeare’s star-crossed teenagers underpinning the drama. Wawa has come of age. She is a beautiful girl being prepared for the duties and responsibilities of the traditional ways - which includes being offered to another tribe in an arranged marriage. But Wawa wants to go her own way, for she is in love with Dain, the chief’s handsome grandson. Whatever the youngsters lack in acting experience is more than made up for by their magnetic presence and a naturalness that is impossible to fake - Dean’s camerawork is especially good at highlighting the emotions, from

joy to turmoil, that fleet across his characters’ faces. Likewise with Wawa’s mischievous little sister, Selin – the scene in which we catch her crying is as intense as any you might expect from a Hollywood veteran. As in Romeo and Juliet, there are feuding parties involved and it’s when Wawa is promised to a hostile tribe as a peace-making chattel that she takes matters into her own hands in an effort to avoid being separated from Dain. Initially, I was under the impression that the story was set in pre-colonial days, not unlike Rolf de Heer’s ‘Ten Canoes’ (2006), but an unexpected link to Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip puts events in the recent past and, to be honest, briefly takes the wind out of the movie’s sails. Intoxicating cinematography is complemented by a brooding, spare score from Antony Partos that never intrudes on the sounds of chooks and pigs and footfall – and the incredible rumbling of the volcano. You can catch this wonderful movie at the Community Centre on November 25.

SPECTRE

I have had more than just a passing interest in the James Bond phenomenon since reading Ian Fleming’s 007 novels one after the other in the dim and distant. Sean Connery nailed the chainsmoking, borderline alcoholic, often morose character better than any of his successors, but Daniel Craig, with the appropriate ‘cold blue eyes’, has perfectly acclimatised Bond to the new age. He has been aided and abetted in this by director Sam Mendes who, if anything, has improved on his outstanding Skyfall (2012) with this latest outing, which, for all its blistering CGI, is imbued with a comforting retro feel. A brilliantly conceived and executed opening sequence finds Bond in Mexico City on the Day of the Dead. To the dismay of M (Ralph Fiennes), he is acting as a vigilante, on a personal mission that will evolve into a major crisis. His target is the ruthless head of SPECTRE, an international crime organisation – Blofeld (Fleming named him after Henry’s father). And who better to play the odious, ever present villain than the sceneeating Christoph Waltz. Assisting

25 NOV

Bond is Q (Ben Whishaw) – a creation of the cinema who was not present in any of the books – but instead of producing an array of dazzling gizmos the brainiac is more focused on nerdy keyboard warfare. Miss Moneypenny (Naomie Harris) is allowed to leave the office and be more involved than usual and Madeleine (Léa Seydoux), the Bond Girl, is appropriately sexy and capable of looking after herself. The plot is convoluted but coherent, the chases are almost but not quite overdone and a pulsating score by Thomas Newman supplements Monty Norman’s immediately recognisable theme as Hoyte Van Hoytema’s luscious cinematography follows the action through London and Rome, Austria and Morocco. But best of all is the movie’s sense of itself, managing to be both dead serious in intent but frequently tongue in cheek in delivery – Bond’s seduction of Madeleine on the train after throttling a horrible hairy bad guy is wonderfully corny. There’s even a good oldfashioned torture scene. I loved it.

’Cats and Rams keep up pressure

Jack Barlow makes a break through the Lennox mid-field. Story & photo Dogwhistle

The young Byron Bay Wildcats girls came up against another highly experienced opponent on Friday evening when they took on a Lennox Head squad bristling with talented prems players in round six of this year’s Summer Youth League. Despite being out-gunned, the Wildcats were competitive for portions of the game. The Lennox girls punished them whenever they backed off the pace. The young Wildcats are still on a steep learning curve but are gaining valuable experience and strength that will hold them in good stead for next season. The Lennox girls despite a good, solid performance from the Wildcats, took out the match 6–0. The SAE-Qantm Rams

took to the pitch shy a few key players against undefeated table-leaders, Lennox Head. Defying their underdog status, the Byron boys took the upper hand early, with some tasty combinations and a great run from John Manta putting Byron on the board ten minutes into the first half. The young Rams kept the pressure on the defending champions and, with ten minutes to the break, Eli Sthapit took advantage of a confused Lennox defence and calmly chipped the keeper for goal number two. Lennox came out firing for the second half with ‘footballers sans frontiéres’, brothers Toby and Layton Barton, determined to keep their undefeated record intact. The young Rams valiantly defended their lead, turning

back the relentless Lennox attack over and again. As the second half battle ground on and the pace began to tell on young legs, the Bartons piled on the pressure. With ten minutes remaining, Toby Barton took back a goal for Lennox and, just two minutes later, brother Layton bagged the equaliser. In the dying moments, Layton Barton took his second goal and clinched the match for Lennox. For the third week running, the Rams had conceded heart-breaking goals to lose the lead – and the winner’s three points – in the dying moments. This Friday sees the Wildcats with a night off thanks to a bye, while the boys enjoy an early 7pm kick-off against Goonellabah at the Cavanbah Centre in Ewingsdale.

Celebrity campaign up and running It’s uniting everyone from NRL player Joel Reddy, former cricketer Matthew Hayden and swimming gold medallist Geoff Huegill right through to musician Airling and celebrity chef Hayden Quinn. And now, Exercise and Sports Science Australia (ESSA) is calling on all Australians to get behind its 30 Days, 30 Reasons to Exercise campaign, which raises awareness of the many benefits of exercise; it runs throughout November. ESSA industry development officer Alex Lawrence said that now in its second year, the campaign – an Exercise Right initiative developed as part of ESSA’s exercise-awareness month — had once again brought together high-profile athletes, nutritionists, chefs, musicians and writers to share their reasons for exercising and inspire the masses to get moving. ‘While we all know participating in regular physical activity can lower your risk of developing a number of chronic conditions, reduce stress and enhance your overall health and fitness level, many people find they also reap a number of other benefits from exercising,’ says Mr Lawrence. Swimming great Geoff Huegill said exercise assisted him with everything from goal-setting and teamwork skills, right through to developing a never-give-up mentality that was important both in and out of the pool. ‘Being one of the lucky few to have been able to live my dreams through sport at the elite level, I understand the importance and the positives that regular exercise has to offer,’ says Geoff. ‘Wellbeing is more than grabbing an apple and just going for a run. The reality is that energy is finite, but regular exercise is a key ingredient to sustaining energy throughout the day and keeping up with demands of life. ‘It also triggers positive outcomes in both mind and body, and to me this is a strong foundation to overall wellbeing.’ Matthew Hayden says that exercising gives him the ability to visit beautiful locations and meet inspirational people while also providing him with a sense of purpose, and Rabbitohs player Joel Reddy also believes in the mental benefits of physical activity, saying he regularly exercises to keep his mind focused. ‘I also exer-

cise to get the most out of my body. I find my challenges are more easily met when I am part of a team and motivated by the people around me.’ According to the most recent Australian Health Survey, almost 70 per cent of Australian adults are either sedentary or report low levels of physical activity. Physical inactivity has also been identified as the fourth leading cause of death owing to non-communicable disease worldwide, contributing to more than three million preventable deaths annually. Lawrence suggests the following tips for easily incorporating more exercise into a daily routine: Walk or bike to the store instead of driving; Contact your local dog shelter

and ask if you can volunteer to walk some of the dogs; Park farther away at the shopping centre and walk the extra distance; Take the stairs as often as possible; If you have a small work meeting, instead of sitting at a desk try a walkmeeting. As part of the 30 Days, 30 Reasons to Exercise campaign, ESSA is inviting Australians to tell them what motivates them to exercise, using the hashtag #30for30. Participants will have the chance to win a Fitbit device. For further information and to get involved, visit the website: www.exerciseright. com.au/30for30 or www.facebook.com/exerciserightaustralia during November.

Journalism is in an amorphous state, with ‘clickbait’ content becoming the new norm online as opposed to what might be really useful to know in current affairs. According to Alex Wilhelm of Techcrunch, there are now 4.6 PR people for every journalist in the United States, which may not be surprising when you consider journalists on average make 35 per cent less money than their PR counterparts.
