Dunoon Dam public response time extended

QLD border hard closure now in place

After strong public pressure, Rous County Council voted unanimously on Friday (7 August) to extend the public response window on the Future Water Project 2060 (www. rous.nsw.gov.au) for a further 28 days. The motion to extend the feedback period was moved by Lismore’s Rous County Councillor Darlene Cook and seconded by Byron’s Cr Simon Richardson in a livestreamed meeting. Cr Cook said, ‘I think we’re all aware that there’s been a huge amount of interest in this Future Water Project. There’s a lot of conversation out in the community, but people are finding there’s such a huge amount of information that they’re having trouble digesting it and getting their heads around all of it.

It is now closed. The Queensland border, that is, if you live in any area declared a ‘hotspot’ by the Queensland government. That includes NSW, ACT, and Victoria. You can only enter Queensland from a hotspot if you travel by air. You cannot travel by road through a hotspot.

Daily requests for extension ‘A lot of us have been receiving requests – anything up to half a dozen or more per day – requesting more time to consider this project, and to get proper and adequately thought-out responses back to us. So this motion is reflecting all those requests from the community.’ Rous CC Chair Keith Williams said that, after discussion with General Manager Phillip Rudd, a four week extension would not give staff enough time to respond to all the feedback by October, and asked ▶ Continued on page 4

Local artist and first time author Maddy Hill with her new book Little Light. Photo Jeff Dawson Paul Bibby At a time when daily news reports are filled with traumatic tidings, local artist Maddy Hill has brought a Little Light into the world. The Mullumbimby resident has just released a new children’s book, Little Light, that encourages kids to practice mindfulness and gratitude for the small things in life. ‘I think one of the most important things is for people to learn to love themselves, especially from a young age,’ says Ms Hill. ‘So many of the issues we have as adults come from our upbringing and experience as kids, so to learn to nurture ourselves from the inside is really important. ‘And I think it’s really important for parents too.’

Byron Shire Council Notices ▶ p12

Featuring artwork made with a combination of pen work and watercolour, Little Light encourages kids to focus in on their senses and to recognise their own simple gifts such as the ability to see, hear, touch, taste, and smell.

Positive focus ‘I was really fortunate as a kid because my mum encouraged us [to be] focused on the positive things,’ Ms Hill says. ‘She would do body sweep meditations with us before we went to sleep, and encourage us to reflect on the day and come into our senses. ‘So there’s a little meditation for kids in the book.’ Ms Hill’s own experience as a mum was also part of the inspiration.

‘Since having [my son] Jaali I’ve spent a lot of time reading to him, and I thought about writing a children’s book. ‘I also spent a lot of time holding him and walking around exploring the world with him and reflecting on how children see and experience things.’ Known for her intricately designed cards, Ms Hill has simplified her style with Little Light , though there are still some familiar touches. ‘There’s a butterfly on every page, and a sneaky little unicorn in there,’ she says. ‘I just wanted it to be nice and clear and simple for kids.’ To order a copy of Little Light or any of Maddy Hill’s work visit her website at www.moonfacemaddy.com.

Of course there are exceptions to every rule and a ‘border zone’ has been established on either side of the QLD/NSW border. This led to plenty of last minute dashes across the border on Friday evening as the final closing hour of 1am Saturday, 8 August approached. If you live in the border zone you are able to travel between NSW and QLD ‘for any reason’. However, confusion has been a key aspect of people’s experience as they try to establish if they can get to work, medical appointments, or visit their kids. Initially the Tweed Shire and parts of Byron Shire, down to Brunswick Heads, were included in the border zone, but this seems to have changed since Friday. The maps now exclude the 2483 postcode.

Avoid quarantine – don’t leave the border zone For anyone who wants to retain the ‘border zone’ right to cross the border unhindered they must remain within the border zone in both NSW and QLD. If you live in the NSW border zone but leave it, ▶ Continued on page 3

Photo Jeff Dawson Mullum Cares were out in the streets again last Friday with their latest idea – upcycling for masks. ‘I’ve got to be honest, I was nervous about putting my volunteer crew on the streets of Mullum with masks as our first upcycled fabric waste item up for sale; but the experience was overwhelmingly contrary to

to invest in the place we call home and reflects who we are as a business, where we’re going and why we’re different, for all the right reasons,’ said SCCU CEO Stuart Edwards. The program this year will focus on the future, with categories focused on preserving the future of the region, taking back momentum and supporting ideas that have the power to spark change. Applications close on 30 September. Find out more at www.sccu. com.au/community/ community-grants.

Art, culture, sport, sustainability and technology are just some of the areas that are being supported by this year’s Southern Cross Credit Union (SCCU) community grants program. With $50,000 to give away to individuals, families, businesses, and community groups, now is the time to get your application in. ‘It’s been a challenging year for many of us and while things continue to shift, we want to help even more and support our community when they need it the most. Tripling our contribution this year continues our resolve

my fears,’ said Mullum Cares founder, Sasha Mainsbridge. ‘I lost count of how many people thanked us for what they thought we were doing. The fact is that we have fashion legend, Jenny Bannister, keen to drive the project as she shares Mullum Cares’ vision for a vibrant circular economy’ Unable to keep up with

the demand for locally made masks, the Salvage Culture team are encouraging any sewers with the skills who are keen to generate some additional income to get in touch. Contact Salvage Culture via email: salvageculturecontact@gmail.com or drop by and see them sewing in the street again this Friday.

The first half started at a frenetic pace, with each team creating several half chances but neither team was able to convert.

After halftime the Thistles came out of the sheds and continued their attacking form, but it was Byron Bay who took the lead with 15 minutes to go. It was an important win for Byron Bay who are now eyeing a spot in the top four with a game in hand.

In a letter to the Council,

the department said it had approved large parts of the Council’s Business and Industrial Lands Strategy (BILS) – a document thath has polarised opinion across the Shire. However, it declined to approve the investigation of a key area in the Shire’s north, known as the Gulgan

Road precincts, for industrial or business development. In the letter, the director of local and regional planning in the northern region, Jeremy Gray, asked Council to review the need for additional employment land in the Gulgan East, West and North areas. Echoing the arguments made by opponents of the strategy, who say Council has identified far more land for development than it needs, Mr Gray noted that ‘the estimated yield in the endorsed investigation areas and existing vacant industrial areas will exceed the 8–12ha total projected demand, which Council estimates will be needed by 2040. ‘The Gulgan West area alone is approximately 50ha,’ Mr Gray said. He recommended that Council collaborate with other Northern Rivers councils, and his department to consider a ‘regional approach to land supply’. ‘Until this strategic planning is completed, the Gulgan East, Gulgan West and Gulgan North areas are not approved as investigation areas for the purpose of planning proposals.’

He said that the areas could be defined as ‘preliminary investigation areas’. Matthew O’Reilly, who lives near the Gulgan Road North precinct and strongly criticised the BILS prior to its preliminary adoption by Council, said the department’s letter vindicated his position. ‘For a conservative government department to say to a Greens council that what they’re proposing is overdevelopment is a slap in the face,’ said Mr O’Reilly, who is running for Byron Council at the next election either as a Green or independent. ‘The strategy represents an overreach and an overindustrialisation. I’d like the Council to accept what the department has said and get a BILS endorsed. There’s a definite need for more business and industrial land in the Shire. The key thing is to get the strategy endorsed. If they accept what the department has said then the other areas of land [identified for industrial and business] can move forward. ‘These areas include areas of land in Billinudgel, Bangalow, West Byron Bay and Mullumbimby.’

žĆ?ĂŤÇ” Ĺ&#x;şşĹ&#x;ƆĕĎ Council staff have recommended to councillors that they provide a detailed response to the planning department indicating that the Council do not support the exclusion of the Gulgan Rd precincts or their inclusion as preliminary investigation areas. ‘This request for a preliminary status is not supported,’ the staff report said. ‘The North Coast Regional Plan (NCRP) does not utilise the term ‘preliminary investigation areas’. The NCRP recognises that Urban Growth Areas include all land zoned for various urban purposes and all future potential urban land releases (ie investigation areas) as illustrated on the Urban Growth Area Maps. ‘These areas will provide for housing, business, industrial, infrastructure and community facilities to accommodate the future regional population. ‘Designation of these areas as investigation areas is consistent with the intent of a growth area – Investigation Area – Employment Land designation under the NCRP.’

'Ć–Ĺ•Ĺ&#x;Ĺ&#x;Ĺ• 'ĂŤĹ” Ä•ĆśĆ?ĕŕƆĜĹ&#x;Ĺ• â–ś Continued from page 1 that the staff’s report back to Council be delayed until December. This amendment was agreed to. Cr Williams said he’s spent a lot of time in recent weeks talking to people about water issues for the region, and thinks ‘we need to continue that conversation. ‘I’m really heartened by the quality of the conversation we’ve had at the moment,’ he said. ‘The important thing is that we come up with a robust decision that neither we nor our future generations live to regret. That’s what we need to aim for, so let’s take our time and make a good decision.’ The motion to extend public comment for a further 28 days (from the original closure date of 12 August) was carried unanimously.

Local News Vale Dr David Moss 1962–2020 Dr David Moss, one of the region’s most respected and beloved GPs, passed away of brain cancer on Sunday, July 19, 2020. Dave died peacefully, at home, surrounded by loved ones. Dave was born in Sydney and grew up with his closeknit family – mum Valerie and dad Peter, and brothers Peter and Damian. As a kid, he was happy and fun, the life of the party. He was always ‘one of the boys’ and loved football, motorbikes and music, and was a talented musician throughout his life (even releasing two CDs and winning a Dolphin Award for New Emerging Talent in 2010). As a young man he worked at the Health Care Complaints Commission in Sydney, a role which inspired him to study medicine. From the beginning, Dave wanted to lift the bar of what a GP

Photo Peter Hogan

could be. Anyone who knew Dave professionally, or was lucky enough to be his patient, can attest to his success in achieving this goal. As a GP, Dave was both progressive and old fashioned. He believed in giving his patients time, listening to them, and understanding their concerns. He was an advocate – helping them traverse the healthcare system and find the best pathways for their needs. His colleagues describe

him as brilliant and innovative. He was generous with his time and knowledge, mentoring young GPs with kindness and empathy. His professional legacy will live on through the great work of those young doctors. Dave had a wonderful gentle nature, he was caring and considerate, with a quirky, mischievous, and wicked sense of humour. Friends say he was always quick with a joke, an offer of help, or just a

non-judgmental ear. The loves of his life were his family. His wife Melissa and his two beautiful children, Gabriel and Stella were his greatest source of pride and delight. He beamed brightest when he was with his three loves, and everything he did, he did for them. One of Dave’s greatest attributes was his inner strength and the way he carried himself when he was facing his own mortality. Dave wasn’t angry or fearful. He was courageous, loving, and above all wanted to protect his family from what they were about to face. Our community has lost a brilliant GP, a dear friend and a man who was simply adored by those who were fortunate to know him.

The Boral plants in Alstonville and Lismore are now reducing their output and will only be operating to meet ‘customer requirements as necessary’. Employees were informed of the change on 7 July. The site at Alstonville has been the subject of continued controversy over many years with some local residents saying the fumes from the plant were causing nose bleeds and making their residences unliveable. However, Ballina Shire Council had agreed to a five year extension on the site for Boral last year.

‘They thought they had a good site next to a quarry but it hasn’t worked out that way,’ said Ballina Mayor David Wright. A Boral spokesperson told The Echo that ‘The changes follow a review of the Boral Asphalt NSW/ACT portfolio as part of organisation-wide efforts to ensure continued delivery of services in a challenged, low demand market. ‘Other parts of the asphalt business across the state were similarly affected. A further contributing factor specific to the Alstonville site is the near-completion of the Pacific Highway upgrade which afforded the site much of its work.’

Local jobs lost The decision to reduce the capacity at the site has left Ballina Shire Councillor Keith Williams ‘disappointed’ by the Boral decision. ‘It does not address community concerns with an ageing asphalt plant located near residents,’ he explained. ‘But most importantly, 30 local families have received terrible news this week. The loss of so many permanent jobs at the plant will also flow through and hurt the local economy of Alstonville. That’s over $2 million per year that won’t be spent locally. ‘News the plant will be mothballed but may continue

to operate for special projects brings no certainty to residents, no closure to nights plagued with choking fumes and worries of uncertain health effects. ‘I have always sought relocation of the plant rather than closure. Now we have the worst of all possible worlds. No jobs, no asphalt, no certainty.’

Quarry operational Mayor Wright has confirmed that the quarry located next to the Boral asphalt plant is still licensed and will remain operational.

If you need a little inspiration in our current state of uncertainty, let me tell you about our son, Adam. For the first time in thirty-six years he was able to stand by himself. Adam had a severe stroke on his eleventh birthday. He was left with no physical ability but intellectually intact. Contrary to some medical advice my wife Robyn and I took him out of hospital to care for him. After all, he is our son.

Never gave up hope

Adjusting to a new life We began a Doman-Delacato program and had many volunteers come twice a day to assist with moving his head, arms and legs. We also took him swimming in the afternoons. We did this five days a week, for over four years. During this time Adam suffered severe, painful cramps and lost a lot of weight. Just to feed him took over an hour. We adjusted our family life to care for a disabled son, and his sisters also came to terms with having an older brother in need of total care. We moved from Victoria to Mullumbimby over twenty years ago. In time, Adam regained some movement and strength but still requires full-time care. A year ago we were introduced to Doctor Adam Szlezak who agreed to work with Adam. Our son was labeled a ‘spastic quadriplegic’. After a session

Session by session, Adam began to gain better use of his hands which are twisted outwards. He started to kneel and managed to balance for a short period. A few weeks ago Adam’s carer returned home with Adam and announced excitedly that Adam had stood – all by himself! He did it again – before having a well deserved rest. The next day we needed a photo.

Adam Dale has stood independently for the first time in thirty-six years. Photo supplied or two Doctor Szlezak, now known as Doctor Adam, assured us that there was no spasticity. He thought that, although Adam had dead parts of his brain, all the pathways remained in some form of order. So we resumed Adam’s treatment to retrain his brain.

To say we were overjoyed is an understatement. We have never given up hope that Adam could walk again. He and Doctor Adam have such a brilliant rapport that I believe anything is possible. Despite being severely disabled, Adam has never lost his sense of humour. He cannot speak and communicates with nods and facial expressions. He has had several operations, and has worked through incredible pain and, you would imagine, plenty of frustration. As parents, our admiration for Adam goes without saying. His courage, determination and love of life inspire us every day. If there are times when you feel frustrated and life isn’t working out for you as you had planned, think of Adam. Keep hope in your heart and determination to the forefront of your thinking. If you need inspiration, copy Adam’s photo and place it where it can inspire you.

Local News Voluntary lockdown and getting ahead of the curve Paul Bibby A Byron Bay aged care centre has gone into voluntary lockdown as a precautionary measure to protect residents and staff from COVID-19. In a move which has left some elderly residents distressed at the lack of direct contact with loved ones, Byron Aged Care (BAC) placed a blanket ban on visits to the facility last Monday. It had already introduced the compulsory wearing of masks. ‘Given the increasing COVID-19 numbers in New South Wales, we chose to err on the side of caution in order to best protect our residents and staff,’ a spokesperson for Byron Aged Care said. ‘No-one may enter Byron Aged Care apart from staff and treating medical personnel. We will be reviewing this on a weekly basis in line with NSW Health and Queensland Health.’ The spokesperson said that the company which runs BAC, Alzheimers Queensland, had already been forced to close its three Queensland homes in response to a directive from the health department in that state. ‘It was deemed to be prudent to do the same in NSW as well as Queensland.’ She said the Byron home had not received any complaints, and that families of residents had said they were ‘doing the right thing’ and were ‘ahead of the curve’. Residents were able to speak to their families via Skype and a 1800 contact line. One local man whose elderly relative lives at the facility said the lockdown has been tough. ‘It’s causing him some

distress, and also the relatives,’ said the man, who asked to remain anonymous. ‘But there’d be more distress if COVID got in.’ The BAC is the only aged care home in the Shire to voluntarily go into lockdown. However, the other homes have introduced tougher visitor restrictions. Byron’s two Feros Care homes continue to allow visitor access, but only two visitors are allowed at one time, health checks are conducted upon entry, and anyone entering a home must have a current influenza vaccination. ‘All visitors are screened for temperature, symptoms and COVID-19 exposure “hotspot” checks,’ a spokesperson from Feros Care said. ‘Plus we have other protective measures in place during family visits, including visitors wearing a mask, social distancing and not gathering in communal areas.’ The other major home in the Shire, the Patrick Bugden VC Gardens run by RSL Life Care, has introduced a limit of one visitor per resident per day, and capped the time at two hours. There are exceptions to this rule, such as when a resident is in the last stages of his or her life, and when a resident has a visitor who is an important part of their daily care. ‘Our top priority is the safety and well-being of our residents,’ the senior communications manager for RSL Life Care, James Fewtrell said. ‘People sometimes forget that, as well as being a hard time for residents and their families, it’s also a difficult time for staff.’

Local councils share $3.4m funding Justine Elliot MP announced more than $3.4 million in federal funding across three north coast local government areas. Mrs Elliot said that the Local Road and Community Infrastructure Program will support councils to deliver priority road and community infrastructure projects across the North Coast, supporting jobs and local economies. Projects funded include upgrades to halls, LED street

lighting, improvements to local parks, lighting upgrades at sporting fields and improving stormwater and drainage. Ballina Shire Council will receive $880,244, Byron Shire Council will receive $730,070 and Tweed Shire Council will receive $1,814,531. ‘This program was designed to fund jobcreating, shovel-ready infrastructure projects,’ said Mrs Elliot.

“We’re very happy. It’s the best thing we ever did.”

Maranoa Village – A thriving retirement community in the heart of Alstonville. from Maranoa’s first stage, and they couldn’t be happier. “The villas really are beautiful. We have a nice outlook and a bit of garden I can put a few things in.”

When Pam and Allen felt the maintenance at their family home was becoming too much, they decided it was time to downsize. “We had a fairly big garden and lawn, and I was getting a bit sick of having to tend to the garden, and my husband doing the lawns all the time,” said Pam. “We started thinking maybe we could downsize, maybe it’s time, you know?” That’s when Pam and Allen heard about BaptistCare’s Maranoa Village, a small but thriving community just a short stroll from Alstonville’s town centre, and decided to make the move. Pam and Allen have now settled in to one of 12 spacious two-bedroom homes

Pam and Allen share a deep love for the area. Not only do their children and families live close by, but Pam has been a life-long local. “Actually, just near where we live now, there use to be a few maternity wards seventy odd years ago, and I was born in one of them. So I have almost come back to the same place,” said Pam. With 15 additional, brand new 2 and 3 bedroom villas in development, all with attached garages, alfresco entertainment areas and spacious floorplans, Maranoa is expanding, to offer more downsizers an independent retirement in a village atmosphere.

The new, limited release of villas at Maranoa really is the perfect place for those looking for a change, or ready for their next chapter. Residents can relax in the knowledge that all their maintenance and gardening is taken care of, and they have Home Care and Aged Care facilities on the same site, should this become necessary in the future. For Pam and Allen, it was important to make the big move on their own. “In the end, it was our decision and that’s what we are happy about. We made that choice. Nobody had to do it for us.” – If, like Pam & Allen, you are interested in downsizing to this thriving retirement community in Alstonville, please join us at our next information session, we’d love to see you there.

Federal government gets set to distract from COVID fallout

H

The Byron Shire Echo Volume 35 #09 • August 12, 2020

How to clear a room Want to clear a room? Say ‘economics!’. Except – there is an extraordinary modern economist named Mark Blyth. With a charming Scottish lilt, he simplifies complex global concepts and proposes ways societies can prosper, unencumbered by the crushing debt handed down by global banking elites. His online economic lectures are Economist Mark Blyth unlike most, in that they are personable, engaging, and easy to understand. For example, Blyth eloquently explains the concept of how most governments – with the exception of the likes of Norway and Iceland – use their policy levers to provide socialism for the rich and inflict capitalism on the poor. Angrynomics is his new book, and is co-authored with Eric Longeran. According to Columbia University Press, ‘It explores the rising tide of anger, sometimes righteous and useful, sometimes destructive and ill-targeted, and proposes radical new solutions for an increasingly polarised and confusing world’. On 19 June, Blyth told Edward Steinfeld, director of the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs, that when economies stop, (or are perceived as having stopped) serving the interests of the majority of citizens, anger arises. ‘That seems to be the feeling that has swept right across the [wealthy] OECD countries and others. ‘Essentially, it’s perceived as a rigged game. There’s a bunch of insiders variously called the elites, or cosmopolitans, who have made off with all the cash. And everyone else is working harder and harder for less and less’. He says, ‘The word “citizen” has been emptied of all value. ‘Essentially you are a consumer. To re-enrich that, you need to give people a stake in their society – which is something else that has been eviscerated’. Blyth’s policy proposals in Angrynomics include national wealth funds, dual interest rates and direct government transfers to household incomes. So his solutions are not based on raising taxes, and instead can ‘make serious dents in inequality’. Even before COVID-19 (BC), wealthy economies such as Australia were slowing down, and wealth distribution, along with upward mobility and opportunity, was evaporating. In BC times, there were not enough jobs to match unemployment in Australia, and wages had stagnated. Meanwhile, the governing class were, and still are, doing exceptionally well. Every week there are new examples of them gaining confidence in all the wrong places. Instead of protecting and advancing human rights, civil liberties are being targeted and diminished. Open corruption in the ranks of the elite has been normalised in full view of the general public. While anger rises within the unwashed masses, Blyth offers tangible and much needed constructive solutions. Hans Lovejoy, editor

aving tried pleas, threats, restrictions, lockdowns, fines and closures in vain, our political masters are now apparently cutting to the melodramatic climax: scare the living crap out of us. And, to set an example, their current action plan seems to be to hide under the blankets until the monsters go away and the nightmare ends. Except part of the campaign of fear and loathing is the likelihood that it won’t end – at least not in the time span the quivering victims will accept. We are now being bombarded with figures that are not just raising hair, blowing minds, watering eyes and smacking gobs; they are so horrific that they quite literally defy comprehension. Credible modelling on various fronts is now predicting infection rates of over a thousand per day, remaining in the hundreds well into spring. Official unemployment will reach double figures, and stay there until next year, with the real numbers far worse. The hit to the economy will be in terms of tens of billions of dollars a month, and the recession will drag on for at least another two quarters. And these are just the raw statistics. The human cost of the pandemic is now starting to hit home with little hope of relief in sight. Many of those who survive will be broke and broken, without the hope of a job and the real risk of becoming homeless. There will be an aftermath of long-term post-COVID health problems. The fallout in the decline of the wellbeing of the populace – physical, mental, and emotional – will lead to consequences that can barely be imagined. But they will have to be, because even if our respective governments are unable to deal with them, we will have to. Our much-trumpeted resilience is likely to be tested in ways that Scott Morrison, too frightened of the virus to attend parliament, has never envisaged. So he has given up even trying. Instead, we are offered distractions, like yet again re-opening the Christmas Island gulag, at vast cost and for no useful result. And absurd evasions, like the previously sensible Brendan Murphy, translated into a career bureaucrat, telling us he can’t name dysfunctional nursing homes for fear of

We need honesty, transparency, and a taste of the brutal truth. The real damage is being caused by the ducking and weaving, the buck-passing ëŕĎȝĈşưĕſȑƖżƆ Mungo MacCallum But that would require rather more conviction than our national cabinet of nervous Nellies is prepared to manifest in its present prevarication. Our leaders emerged briefly to rubberstamp another tweak to keep JobKeeper on the books, possibly in response to a cabal of billionaire property developers sooled on by The Australian to demand more handouts. But then they dived back under the doona to resume their strategy of masterful inaction, which seems to consist largely of hoping, or if they prefer, praying, that the hard lockdown in Victoria will eventually produce results. But not immediately. The old joke needs to be refurbished; the reply to the question ‘How do you keep an idiot in suspense?’ used to be, ‘I’ll tell you tomorrow’. Now it has to be pushed back to, ‘I’ll tell you in about two or three weeks. And in the meantime, quiver and obey’. And if, as September rolls in and there is still no credible answer… what then? Well, find a scapegoat, of course! Scott Morrison got the process underway in the national cabinet meeting last week, when he gave the states a collective kick for not, as he saw it, doing their bit; they were effectively hoarding, keeping their balance sheets relatively healthy, instead of contributing more assistance to those suffering economic hardship under the pandemic crisis.

They were chipping in a mere $40 billion between them, he complained, while the commonwealth had already shelled out well over $300 billion, and counting – about two per cent of GDP from the states and some 16 per cent from the feds. Clearly the skinflint premiers and their treasurers need to lift their game. But this dodges the inconvenient fact that it is the feds who have the money – almost all the revenue the states raise comes straight from Canberra, and much of it depends purely on the whim of ScoMo and his team. This is how our fiscally imbalanced federation operates, and will continue to operate unless Morrison, or one of his braver successors, is prepared to tackle it. We are not holding our breath. And in any case, blaming the states is so passé, a refrain from the last century. We need a more personal approach; a victim who can be identified, named and shamed. Step forward, Victorian premier Daniel Andrews. The rambunctious right rulers of the Liberal Party, egged on by the Murdocracy of the media, have been urging more belligerence for months. As a Labor lefty – a Maoist dictator, as they see it – Andrews is intrinsically loathsome. And as a successful and popular premier, he is utterly abhorrent. So let’s put in the boot. Morrison has been reluctant, savouring his role as an inclusive leader, a mediator. But as his own position becomes more vulnerable, especially over the unravelling of the disastrous aged care industry, which the commonwealth ultimately controls, it is becoming more obvious that it’s time for a bit of duck-shoving. As Andrews admits, in Victoria the buck stops with him, but nationally, it ends up with ScoMo. So we have a little scene setting: Morrison is now saying that Andrews must bear responsibility for the second COVID-19 wave. Not yet, perhaps – we can be all in this together for a bit longer. But the gloves are coming off, and, the brass knuckles are being readied to replace them. And when we get back to political business as usual, it will not be pretty. Because this will not be an argument about who is responsible. It will be an argument about who can be blamed. So be afraid. Be very afraid.

Letters BYRON SHIRE’S GO-TO MAC SUPPORT SERVICE

Uluru statement The Uluru Statement is neither ‘a futile attempt concocted with government patronage’ nor ‘a meaningless wish list’ as some claimed on The Echo’s website. It is the best recent proposal from an Aboriginal representative group whose members came from all areas of Australia to attend the 2017 Aboriginal National Constitutional Convention to move race relations on in this country. The Uluru proposals are simply a call for a) Constitutional Reform to establish an Aboriginal body to sit alongside Federal Parliament to become the conduit to and from Federal Government on issues affecting Aboriginal people, and b) the creation of a Makarrata Commission to progress reconciliation of the situation where British people just came here and then claimed the whole continent as theirs. The Statement proposes that the Makarrata Commission supervise a process of agreement making between governments and Aboriginal people (which may be a treaty), on the basis of historical truth telling that includes the Aboriginal experience of European occupation. Australians of immigrant background have occupied and exploited the resources of this land, and that should have been passed down to this generation of Aboriginal people who owned it for 60,000 years previously. Of course there are other options – an Aboriginal treaty directly with the British occupiers, or through the violent global traditional way of addressing contested land grievances. There is no peace without justice, but there can be justice without peace. I suggest everyone have a look at www.1voiceuluru.org and www.ulurustatement.org John Lazarus Byron Bay

Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere...’ – Elie Wiesel (writer, professor, political activist, Nobel Laureate, holocaust survivor) S Toomey Numulgi

Thank you for delivering true, unbiased journalism regarding the vaccine debate. Along with the AVN, IMOP and VAXXED bus, you’re giving the vaccine-injured community a voice. Censorship and gas-lighting on all media platforms is out of control – the censored information is exactly what we need to know. It’s modern-day book burning. It’s critical that people start to unite, educate themselves, stand up for bodily autonomy and medical freedom, seek truth, and question everything. We’re indoctrinated to despise those who question vaccine safety and efficacy and we slap them with the ‘anti-vaxxer’ label. Most people are exvaxxers – who believed in the system and paid the price with adverse reactions or losing a loved one. The science isn’t settled. We’re being conditioned to accept a ‘new normal’ and to believe people standing up for choice are selfish, dangerous, extreme and irresponsible. The ‘plandemic’ is a perfect example of how biased media and governments use fear to control the masses, and how freedom is lost gradually by an uninterested, uninformed and uninvolved population. ‘We must take sides.

Mullum Gateway I would like to congratulate all who were responsible for putting up the Mullumbimby Gateway’s new totem pole. It’s a great place to rest with a beautiful presentation respecting the origins of Mullumbimby and the spirit of the Aboriginal traditional custodians of this area. I’d encourage everyone to pay it a visit. You will feel proud and lucky to be here. I was then struck by how opposite the spirit is from what Telstra is trying to do to Mullum with its plans for 5G. The totem should encourage all public servants to preserve the 5G-free aspects of Mullumbimby. The Shire is already a test case for a fluoride-free public water supply. We should continue in that spirit as a 5G-free community, to see if we can survive, and indeed thrive, with the lack of both. Please Telstra, visit the totem and pick on somebody else.

Sports funding Response to Sue McLeod (Letters, 29 July) re ‘Coalition gives another $10m to Foxtel to boost women’s sport on TV and slashes ABC funding’. I love women’s sport, including netball, and heard about this from someone on the inside. The ABC charter does not allow advertising, but this is a requirement of sponsors and provides the money needed to pay the athletes. So sports have had to move to commercial TV to attract money. The other commercial networks don’t have a women’s sport space. Nor do they do charity. Fox has many platforms that have to be filled with content. There is method in the madness. I don’t have Fox Sport and will not connect it. So, like many other Australians, I will miss out. Fran Mocerino Coorabell

Daniela Berti has taken on international travel in the age of COVID-19, as well as Spain’s best surf lifesavers, to win her second board race title at the Spanish national championships. The 13-year-old is a member of the Byron Bay Surf Life Saving Club and travels regularly to Spain with her father, Michael Berti, to visit family. ‘We came last year to Spain, and Daniella competed in the Spanish surf lifesaving championships and won the board race,’ Michael said. ‘We came again this year and she went to a new age division and won again’. The all-age competition was held at Noja, Cantabria, in Spain over July 22–30. ‘Other competitors in Spain are strong and fit as their swim training is really

competitors to wear masks and goggles for various events. Daniela trained up to six days a week over winter in the Bay and was helped by experienced trainers at the Byron Bay SLSC. Travelling internationally also threw down challenges. Approval to enter the country from Spanish authorities only came through six hours before the Berti family’s flight was due to leave, so after cancelling, and then re-booking their trip, they finally got into the air. The Bertis will also have to spend two weeks in quarantine when they fly back into Australia, meaning a trip that normally takes three weeks will stretch out to two months. ‘Daniela is missing a lot of school, so we have paid a big price, but it is worth it,’ Michael said.

INVITATION FOR FEEDBACK BANGALOW PLANNING CONTROLS We’re beginning work on a review of the Bangalow chapter of the Byron Shire Development Control Plan (DCP) 2014, including a structure plan for a triangular area between the main street and the A & I Hall. Council is seeking initial input from the community on this project to help ensure that we are taking into account any key considerations for the project brief. The review of Chapter E2 of DCP 2014 aims to ensure that appropriate guidance is in place for the whole Bangalow village to address current development challenges and opportunities. The structure plan will consider things like character and heritage, zoning, building heights, density, movement links, public space, landscape provisions and design quality.

Feds push on with plan for nuclear waste facility in Central Aus Eve Sinton

I

n late January of this year, the federal resources minister at the time – Matt Canavan – announced that a national nuclear waste dump would be established on farming land 20km west of the small community of Kimba, South Australia. Farmer Jeff Baldock had conveniently offered up a 160 ha property for the project. He is likely to get four times the market value for it. The dump would house low-level waste, mainly from nuclear medicine, and provide 45 new local jobs. The community has been promised $31 million in benefits as a reward for

62 per cent of them voting in favour of the facility (396 to 294). But, already, there’s a catch: the National Radioactive Waste Management Facility will also ‘temporarily’ house medium-level waste from places such as Sydney’s Lucas Heights nuclear reactor. Until somewhere else is found for the stuff. This is not what the community voted for, but it may very likely be forced upon them as a long-term solution for nuclear waste that will be dangerous for hundreds of thousands of years. After all, who else would want it? The dump site is on the traditional lands of the

An artist’s impression of the proposed nuclear waste dump. Barngala people, few of whom were able to vote alongside the townspeople of Kimba. The Barngala conducted their own poll and were overwhelmingly against having nuclear waste dumped on their land. Matt Canavan later resigned as resources minister, to support Barnaby Joyce in a failed National Party leadership coup. His replacement, Keith Pitt, has wasted no time pushing ahead with the project.

Rights denied Friends of the Earth (FOTE) say that the National Radioactive Waste Management Amendment Bill names Napandee at Kimba as the site for Australia’s national nuclear waste dump and removes traditional owners’ rights to challenge that decision. A Senate inquiry has continued to look into implications of this legislation. FOTE also said that, ‘in a cynical and undemocratic move, federal resources minister Keith Pitt announced

The St Veit Open enjoyed its 39th edition last month, the southern Austrian village welcoming 240 players to the Hotel Die Zeit and imposing strict anti-COVID regulations. All players were required to wear masks during games and use the gel provided to clean their hands and the chess pieces. However, the lobby of the hotel, where the players met to socialise and analyse games, had few such precautions, and, as in the town itself, few bothered with masks. The closing ceremony was also largely a mask-free zone. After all, quaint St Veit was very low on COVID risk ratings – until chess players from 12 countries descended on the village. Tommaso Fuochi, 23, from Parma was meticulous about mask wearing on his journey and during the tournaments and was stunned that his Austrian counterparts were not. Upon his return home the journalism student isolated himself and after a few days developed symptoms of a cold. He was tested, found to be positive, and immediately contacted

that a new Australian Radioactive Waste Agency will be established and located in Adelaide’. ‘We are calling on South Australian Premier Steven Marshall to uphold South Australian law that prohibits a nuclear waste dump in that state,’ they said. But on 21 July Mr Pitt issued a joint media release with the Member for Grey, Rowan Ramsey, and the South Australian Minister for Energy and Mining, Dan van Holst Pellekaan. ‘A dedicated agency will be established by the Australian Government for the management of Australia’s radioactive waste that brings together responsibility and expertise in this important and specialised field,’ the release said. ‘The Australian Radioactive Waste Agency (ARWA) will be based in Adelaide and be responsible for all functions of the National Radioactive Waste Management Facility, including engagement with the Kimba community.’ The release said that the

creation of the new agency was the next important step in developing Australia’s radioactive waste management storage capabilities. ‘The new agency will be responsible for all stages of the design, construction, licensing applications and operation of the facility, working in close partnership with ANSTO. ‘A single agency ensures a dedicated focus on managing Australia’s radioactive waste in accordance with domestic and international regulations and best practice.’

A nuclear future? Speaking of international regulations, there are numerous people pushing for Australia to host an international nuclear waste dump to deal with highly dangerous spent reactor fuel and similar hazardous material – which remains life-threatening for at least 100,000 years. It was a pet project of former SA Premier, Jay Weatherill, nuclear enthusiasts Alexander Downer and Martin Ferguson, and of course, BHP which operates Australia’s biggest uranium mine, Olympic Dam. The South Australians even held a Royal Commission which claimed such a dump would generate billions in profit, although a citizens jury was 70 per cent opposed to the idea. The Minerals Council of Australia is delighted by developments around the nuclear waste dump. CEO Tania Constable said, ‘The establishment of the

Australian Radioactive Waste Agency in Adelaide to manage South Australia’s National Radioactive Waste Management Facility is another positive step to support the development of a high-tech Australian nuclear industry, especially life-saving nuclear medicine. ‘Australia’s world-class medical research reactor at Lucas Heights produces vital nuclear medicines and procedures which will be used by one in two Australians during their lifetime, and the new facility will play an important part in developing Australia’s nuclear technology expertise.’ Constable went on to spruik the expansion of Australia’s uranium resources. She complained that Australia’s current ban on nuclear energy and technologies prohibited the development of significant new nuclear industries.

Deplorable process Australia’s nuclear waste stockpile certainly needs to be well managed, but the process at Kimba has been deplorable. The creation of the dump leaves the country exposed to unwelcome expansion of the nuclear industry. There are numerous Coalition nuclear power enthusiasts such as John Barilaro and Barnaby Joyce. And ANSTO wants to grow its nuclear medical supply business to grab 30 per cent of the global market. It all leads one to ask: do we really want to be the world’s nuclear waste dump?

the tournament organiser. The Austrian Chess Federation then made an announcement on their website noting that a player had tested positive and, to Fuochi’s annoyance, made that player easy to identify. All participants in the tournament were contacted and told that they should seek out a COVID test. After a German journalist tracked him down, Fuochi decide to write about his experience in St Veit, highlighting that an organiser’s duty of care to the participants does not begin and end at the playing hall. Sadly, the St Veit organisers seem to be in denial. Four days after the ACF advised all players to go for testing, they issued a statement saying, ‘As things stand, one can assume that there is almost certainly no positive corona case that is directly related to the 39th St Veit Open. After 16 days not a single participant or accompanying person reported symptoms and no positive corona test is known.’ The next day, Fuochi’s story was published, but the statement remains at the top of the tournament website.

Letters Mask abuse I’ve been wearing masks in public and at the shops in Mullumbimby for the past four years since my double lung transplant. Nobody has noticed, and it helps keep me safe. But recently I am starting to get abused in the street. Please keep your whacky theories about me starving myself of oxygen and being a puppet of the State to yourselves. Then educate yourself on basic human physiology (i.e not found on Fakebook). Even better, ask me to share my experiences of 14 days in ICU on life support and ventilation, fighting for my life. All due to those ‘invisible’ viruses you think are either BS or can’t harm you. Paul ‘Spider’ McKey Mullumbimby

!wÈP'ȒǨǰ ĈōëĶŔƆ A group of doctors called America’s Frontline Doctors have been making claims, in a now banned video which was previously seen by about 20 million people, where they claimed an inexpensive medication, called HCQ, can safely treat the COVID-19 virus. Another group of doctors claim HCQ doesn’t work on

very sick COVID-19 patients. The media says we must not believe the first group of qualified, experienced and practising doctors, as they are not authorised to speak about their experience with treating COVID-19 patients. Previously, truth welcomed investigation. Peter Olson Goonengerry

0ƖſĕŊë ĎĕưĕōşżŔĕŕƐ I’m alarmed by Councillor Alan Hunter’s response regarding opposition to the DA for a Community Title development of 15 rural residential lots on an established macadamia farm at 149 Federal Drive, Eureka. He appears to sanction inappropriate development, regardless of the land zoning and the impact on neighbours. Perhaps he considers opponents to the proposed development as anti-development NIMBY whingers, who should just ‘suck it up’. This misrepresents us. In fact, we are pro-development – the development of State Significant Farmland as a sustainable resource to feed and clothe future generations. This is what true sustainability is – using a resource for its most valuable purpose.

It is stupid (and selfish) to use a non-renewable resource (which is what this world-class farmland is) for residential purposes. If Council approves the development, the construction of the residential lots will see 400–500 productive macadamia trees removed to make way for roads and house sites, with a further 4,000–5,000 trees likely to be removed to meet Council’s planning requirements for a 200-metre buffer. The Australian Macadamia Society has also previously opposed this DA. The macadamia industry is the most valuable rural industry in our region, and is a significant employer. Let’s build it, not destroy it. The Echo’s article did not distinguish between the DA for conversion of the property to Multiple Occupancy (MO) (which was approved last year for unfathomable reasons) and the current DA for conversion of the MO to Community Title (which has not yet been determined by Council). This gives councillors an opportunity to remedy last year’s decision, now that the scale of the proposed farm destruction is clearer. Councillors, please respect State and local

planning principles, policies and procedures. Vote this DA down. Geoffrey Cotton Eureka

ŊĕƱĕĎ żſĶşſĶƐĶĕƆ Engineers have built an ultralight helicopter for a NASA 2020 mission to Mars. This was no easy task, the Martian atmosphere being only one per cent of the density of Earth’s, with gravity of about 38 per cent, and with such frigid temperatures at night that the chopper will use two-thirds of its daily battery power from the feeble sunlight to survive the night. Before that, it must endure enormous G-forces launching from Earth, seven months in deep space, and then the landing and deployment on Mars. It won’t actually do anything scientific. It’s an engineering challenge. The Wright brothers would be very impressed. Apparently we have sufficient intelligence to fly helicopters on Mars, but insufficient intelligence to build homes for the homeless on Earth. Whatever is the matter with us? John Jennings Numinbah

Letters Community papers In reply to Greg Cooper (The Echo, 6 Aug) the Murdoch dynasty owns and controls a vast majority of Australian news media, in print, online, radio or television, in metropolitan, suburban and regional areas, in Australia, UK and the USA. I found that many of my friends were unaware of the number of our local papers owned by News Corp, including The Byron Shire News, The Ballina Advocate, The Northern Star, The Lismore Echo and The Tweed Daily News. While these papers did provide much needed community services, as our Byron Echo has, they also reflected much more conservative views in their editorials, letters and via regular input by commentators such as Andrew Bolt. Our Echo is undeniably more left wing than most regional papers as our core population are of that bent, reflected in their standing parliamentary MPs. This may change in the future, with the continuing influx of sea/tree changers with higher incomes, and possibly more ‘conservative’ values. My point is that a healthy democracy should reflect

a wide range of politics in our media, unlike the highly censored media in China. Scrutiny of government policy is another valuable aspect of our democratic freedom of speech. If you don’t agree with comments expressed in The Echo, the new, locally owned and independent Northern Rivers Times might be more to your taste. Sue McLeod Myocum

Belongil threat Recent contributors have highlighted issues around Council’s plan to re-route effluent down a shorter path to the Belongil Estuary. Points have been made about the lack of consultation, inadequate assessment, and potential impacts. Considering the massive amount of work done two decades ago on investigations, and building the current system, including extensive re-use, this proposal and debate seems like ‘back to the future’. The problem is that successive councils have failed to follow through on the overall plan – by acquiring more land for effluent re-use. Landholders have valid objections to excess water, but they’re hardly in a strong

www.echo.net.au/byron-echo Byron Shire Echo archives

position, since many occupy some of the worst acidpolluted sites in Australia. The Belongil was designated as an ‘Acid Sulfate Hotspot’ 20 years ago, with a requirement to undertake remediation. Not much has been done, as far as I can see, in spite of the successful trial projects we put in back then. This proposed project, in my view, would violate the Byron Bay Effluent Management Strategy (the key document underpinning the current STP Environmental Licence), with serious effects on the Estuary. I urge the community to maintain interest, and people with a strong interest to access some of the earlier documents, many of which are available on the net. David Pont Indonesia

lƖōōƖŔǽ ǬE Ɋ ŔĕĎĶë It seems that balanced unbiased journalism is alive and well in the Byron Shire. Thank you to The Echo, Paul Bibby and Nyck Jeanes. Nyck Jeanes’ interview with Steve Tonaguzzo from Environment and Communities Safe from Radiation ESCFR.com.au addressed the fact that ARPANSA, our government advisory board on

radiation safety standards, and ACMA, have ignored a large body of research. And even industry-funded research has shown clear links to increased brain tumours in mobile phone users. The current safety standards were developed 20 years ago, and the telcos are being allowed to roll out a technology that has not been adequately tested for its safety or been tested for cumulative exposure. This is simply what the Byron Shire Council asked Telstra to do before installing the 5G upgrade in Mullumbimby. ABC’s Four Corners aired a rather biased viewpoint, ignoring the thousands of peer-reviewed studies demonstrating biological harm from microwave radiation. Four Corners failed to interview a single one of these doctors or scientists. Instead, our Federal Minister for Telecommunications, Paul Fletcher, created some conspiracy theory regarding Russia and opposition to 5G. Since 22 April the Mullumbimby tower at 95 Dalley Street has been under a 24/7 watch, with guardians taking shifts, to ensure Telstra do not install the upgrade. If you would like to get

involved in the guardianship, more people are always welcome and needed. You can fill in the sign-on sheets available in Mullumbimby Santos, Mullum Herbals and Eden’s Landing. If you would like to view some of the peer-reviewed research, these sites have many examples freely available: EHTrust.org, ORSAA. org, ECSFR.com.au Bioinitiative.org. Corrina Beacham Mullumbimby

Council meeting ban Further to my ban from Council meetings, as reported in The Echo last week, I’ve written to Council stating my position. I made it clear that my refusal to leave that June Council meeting was a passive protest against The Greens’ worrisome bias against me during public access. The Council resolution that implies it had something to do with COVID-19 protocols is nonsense. The only protocol I’m aware of is that only one member of the public may be in the chamber at any one time, and that protocol was never breached. I’ve advised Council that if it’s COVID they’re really

worried about I’m quite happy to give an undertaking that I will leave after my speech, provided they don’t breach protocols themselves by again ignoring the code of conduct. The GM has written to me assuring me that, though I’m banned from personally appearing I’m quite entitled to send in a written submission that will be read out by a staff member. That’s something I’ve previously done. However, the mayor at the recent budget meeting indicated that in future he would vet my submissions and delete any content that he deemed objectionable. The mayor appears to sincerely believe that within the chamber he has the power to curb free speech. Certainly in the past he has banned my questions completely if there’s something in them which he finds ‘insulting’. Obviously I’m not going to agree to such preconditions so it appears that further confrontation is inevtiable. I suppose soon enough I will be accused of undermining Shire security by the use of verbal terrorism. History does have a habit of repeating itself. Fast Buck$ Coorabell

The

Good Life

Yummify’s vegan cheese, and Wednesday banquet Eve Jeffery

Looking after the planet and your taste buds Living a plant-based life is not a new thing for Arianne Schreiber from Yummify. She began eating healthy food, caring for the planet, and protecting all Earthlings as an animal activist at just 14 years of age. One of the things that Arianne loves to do is turn recipes that omnivores love into vegan deliciousness. ‘I love sourcing produce every week and actually going to the farms where it’s grown. I love playing with the colours, and I love it when people really enjoy what I make and it makes them feel good.’ Arianne says that colour and the sense of fun are what people love about her food. ‘I do nearly everything gluten-free, so people with gluten intolerance get very excited as it’s both vegan and fun and they can eat it – seeing people get excited about my food is exciting for me!’ The lockdown was a challenge for Arianne – all of the retreats, events and festivals she usually catered for were cancelled but her home delivery service continued. ‘I added an organic fruit and vege box, along with staples and meal plans to my delivery

service. I was so grateful to have my stall at the Mullumbimby Farmers Market continue every week too.’ Arianne said she’s had little time to rest. ‘We foodies never stop really. I feel grateful that I have such a wonderful customer base who allow me to deliver food to their houses every week. I have a new menu weekly that is sometimes very experimental.’ Arianne feels that the current health issues of the pandemic may mean we never go back to ‘normal’. ‘I think we know we needed a fundamental major shift in how we live and operate. How we consume has desperately needed to change, for all life on Earth. I hope the new normal is more in harmony with the planet we inhabit. I see lots of positive opportunities for each of us to reflect on and choose what is really important for our community and to make choices to live in a way that has a less damaging footprint. I think it’s happening everywhere.’ Next for Arianne is a vegan cheese range. ‘I am hoping to keep growing my little shop in the Arts and Industry Estate, and my little cafe,

which feeds lots of locals plant-based meals. I also have a fun cooking show I’m developing.’ At the end of the month, Arianne is launching an event called Films For Freedom and Future – she plans to screen weekly a transformational independent film, accompanied by a three-course dinner at Yummify. Her first event is on 30 August. Yummify also does a Wednesday ‘banquet’ style dine-in or take away option, offering cuisines from around the world. ‘We choose a theme and create four of five dishes to gobble up. This week it’s Italian, next week it’s

Japanese, the world is our – radish!’ You can find Yummify at 12/74 Centennial Circuit, in the Byron Arts & Industrial Estate, or visit them online at: www.yummify.com.au.

Good Life

When all falls into place Story & photo Kate O’Neill Sometimes in life everything just naturally falls into place, and that’s exactly what happened to Sarah Bourke in 2011. She was working on the Everest fruit and veggie stall at the New Brighton Farmers Market, wondering how she could start her own stall, when she came up with the idea of making tempeh. ‘I was looking for a way to start something at the market, and looking around, I realised there were no vegetarian protein options,’ she said. ‘From there, it all just flowed really easily.’ She asked friend Mari, of renowned Lismore vegetarian

restaurant 20,000 Cows, to teach her how to make tempeh, applied to get a stall at the market, and within weeks had started Byron Bay Tempeh. ‘From the moment I had the idea, to starting [the business], I think it was maybe a twelve week process all up,’ she said. ‘It was meant to be.’ Since launching at New Brighton, Sarah and partner Luc have also joined Mullumbimby Farmers Markets, where they have a stall every Friday. Unlike traditional Indonesian tempeh, which is made with soybeans, Sarah makes her tempeh with other legumes. There are three varieties: chickpea, split pea and brown rice, and fava bean and wakame (a type of seaweed).

‘We’re not anti-soy, we just wanted something different,’ Sarah said. ‘Vegetarian protein sources are traditionally soy-based and it can be hard to find non-soy.’ To make the tempeh, the chickpeas, split peas and fava beans are inoculated with a culture (that Sarah grows and harvests herself) and then fermented – a process that gives tempeh its distinct flavour, and its health benefits. ‘Being fermented, it’s a really good probiotic,’ Sarah said. ‘The fermenting process makes it predigested, so you can absorb the nutrients really easily.’ All ingredients, except the fava beans, are organic and Australian grown.

Beachfront lots at Skennars Head The beachfront Aureus community at Skennars Head has reached a milestone with titles for the first stages expected in the coming weeks. While most home sites in these stages are sold, a limited number are available, which means no waiting periods for purchasers ready to build. On the Coast Road with uninterrupted views over Sharpes Beach to Flat Rock, Aureus will encompass 4.6 hectares of parklands and a village centre with its very own ‘local’. Between the Ballina Nature Reserve wetlands and Aureus a conservation buffer is being established, based on the Skennars Head Wetland Rehabilitation and Monitoring Plan. ‘We are nine months into the five year rehabilitation plan’ outlined Trent Doyle from Horizon 5, who are working with Intrapac Property

The beachfront Aureus neighbourhood at Skennars Head to implement environmental programs. ‘Our work in the wetland buffer has already shown a high success rate of native species regrowth and eradication of weeds’. Horizon 5 are also working on the Skennars Head Wildlife Corridor Restoration Plan which aims to improve connectivity for native fauna between the wetland and vegetation to the south. ‘We have

recently commenced planting trees within the corridor, with thousands more planned for the coming months’ said Trent. Eventually the planting will extend from these wetlands to Flat Rock to create a buffer between Skennars Head and East Ballina. The trees and plants for these projects have been supplied by the Cumbalum Farm native plant nursery next to the Banyan Hill

Trent Doyle is overseeing environmental programs at Aureus residential community. Cumbalum Farm was set up by Horizon 5 on behalf of Intrapac Property to ensure a steady and high quality supply of native plants for both Aureus and Banyan Hill. Through the wetland and wildlife corridor rehabilitation works and growing of trees at the nursery, Cumbalum

Farm provides permanent employment and training for a dozen locals, from experienced bushland regenerators to trainees. Land currently for sale at Aureus is priced from $493,000 to $653,000 for home sites between 451m2 and 661m2. www.aureus.com.au

Please contact these studios directly to book a timeslot – this will aid in keeping queues short and delays to a minimum, as there will be restrictions on the numbers in any given studio. If you arrive without a booking, you may have to wait, so please be patient. Be sure to check the website for the very latest information www.northcoastmudtrail.com.au.

Artists have been very hard hit by lockdown measures. It’s well documented. Many practitioners rely on the Mud Trail weekend and the income it generates to keep their studios viable. Your support will endorse not only a creative economy, which is grass roots based and local, but more importantly, the creativity that underpins and sustains psychological, spiritual and physical wellbeing in our community. Collectively, all the Mud Trail artists thank you for that.

THE POWER OF SORRY

FUN TIMES TO BE HAD

A tiny but fun time in entertainment as Simon Meola kicks off the week at the Railway Hotel, while up the road Guy Kachel hits Wednesday at the Beach Hotel. The Rails has some great acts this week with The Swamp Cats on Thursday and Dan Hannaford on Friday. The Beachy has a full list with Two Moons on Thursday, Matt Buggy as well as the Sally Sa Trio on Friday and Dan Clark, Tim Stokes and Harry Nichols on Saturday while The Slipway in Ballina has Sass and the Dude. Sunday can be as lazy as you like with Adam Harpaz, Cheese Trio and J Squidge & The 420 Sound at the Beach Hotel. Saturday at the Rails sees Burning Hands, Sunday Southwall, Monday Walking Francis and Tuesday they have Slim Pickens.

Saying sorry is powerful. I think we forget sometimes how profound a true act of contrition can be. We live in a world populated by capitalist power brokers and politicians who wreak havoc without ever having the courage to admit they were wrong. Being able to apologise is not just recognition of our failings – that we are human and that we make mistakes – but on reflection that we have the insight to desire repatriation. We start with sorry. Sometimes it’s all we have. It’s just words – it doesn’t change what happened, but somehow, when hearts are open, the act of saying sorry can go deep between the giver and the receiver. There’s an intimacy of true forgiveness that happens so rarely, it takes your breath away when it does. It caught me by surprise today in the post office. I was handed a small white envelope addressed to ‘Ms Mandy Nolan, Comedian/Entertainer, Poste Restante c/- Post Office, Mullumbimby.’ My first reaction was ‘oh dear’. Handwritten mail to Mandy Nolan comes in two shades: beautiful, creative and kind, or abusive, hectoring and mean. I look at the envelope more closely; the cursive writing has a humility in the way it gently slants on the page. It doesn’t look like an angry pen that pushes holes when it dots the ‘i’s and whose downstrokes tear the page. So I open it at the counter and I read: ‘Dear Mandy Nolan, I am writing to apologise to you…’ I feel the first tear. I know I can’t read any more at that point because I will start bawling in the post office. It’s so lovely I announce to the entire post office (just five socially distanced customers) ‘Someone has written me a letter of apology!’ Of course no one is interested, but I hold it up to show them, like I’m a two-year-old with a Thomas the Tank Engine card that toots. It’s like I’ve won something. Which, in a way, I did. I won this little piece of connection brought about by misunderstanding. It’s simple and it’s beautiful, and I have to rush to the car to read the rest of the letter, so I can cry in private. In a culture of online outrage, where people seem to be more comfortable with cruelty than with kindness, there is something precious about a handwritten apology. To give a little context: a few weeks ago I’d written about my three kids being in lockdown in Melbourne – there were various sympathetic responses, and a few unkind ones that I found strange and hurtful and, at the ARIES: With Uranus the planet of time, hard to fathom. The writer of this letter had been change back-tracking for the rest of the year, this open/shut, stop/go planetary the author of some of the latter comments. While I’m peristalsis could affect Aries’ work and the cause of affection for many, I am also the cause of finances. If you need to scale back in great irritation to some – so I am not unused to unkind various areas, sidestep frustration by remarks. Those ‘some’ love to comment on my posts setting modest, achievable goals and to let off a little bit of steam now and then. They like to giving yourself small, frequent rewards. put me in my place. Ironically, Roger and Robot are two TAURUS: What to expect when the planet of my most dedicated readers. They hate me. But they of surprises retrogrades in your sign? Does can’t get enough of me. I love that they read me every it help to remember that Taurus embodies week. It must give them something to look forward to. the wisdom of nature, which never rushes, allowing each cycle to unfold organically I am used to people like Roger and Robot. Abuse and in its own time? The upside could be criticism is predictable and expected. I’m not used to personally liberating – with freethinking people who have the capacity to truly apologise. Uranus stimulating unconventional ideas It instantly made me compassionate.

LEO THE LION Uranus was last retrograde in Taurus 80 years ago. This time round, with a quartet of outer planets – Pluto, Saturn, Jupiter and Neptune – also in retrograde, here we go again… LEO: As shockwaves from Uranus send plans and logistics into a tailspin, you might find that what you considered to be set in stone or a done deal isn’t bringing the satisfaction you expected. This enforced pause in momentum is the perfect moment to explore an alternative direction and think about what you could do differently.

SAGITTARIUS: As unruly Uranus executes a lengthy reverse commute, order and organisation could become increasingly elusive. If you feel off your game, just be grateful for whatever you can manage. Wherever things don’t work, or go wrong, consider it a sign to look for smarter structures, to try a different approach, or ask for more support.

VIRGO: With Uranus joining a brace of outer planetary retrogrades; don’t lock into any kind of rigid timeline for the rest of the year. You may have to let go of the inner perfectionista, and your original plans, as innovative Uranus presents you with the opportunity for a broader kind of education; a mindset shift.

CAPRICORN: Three out of five retrograde outer planets in Capricorn suggest serious life lessons on the agenda. If Uranus joining the retro brigade has you doubting your leadership skills, do what you’d do with any technical glitch: turn everything off for a while. The answers you need are in the ether sphere, waiting for a landing space.

LIBRA: Uranus retrograde till 2021 could impact Libran joint ventures and shared resources, but don’t rush into any rash decisions. This four-and-a-half month recess is for careful research, flexible planning, playing the long game, and riding the wild waves of change with style, grace, and above all, humour. SCORPIO: Uranus going retrograde is a regular cycle of entropy. Its long-term park in your relationship garage presses the start button on a period of in-depth reassessment of your relationship to everything – as in renegotiating the rules of partnership engagement, reviewing contracts, and personal agreements, and reevaluating the likely future of your finances.

AQUARIUS: Your ruling planet Uranus in retrograde, what does that mean? If Uranus was a person, it would be a restless activist, pushing us out of the comfort zone toward potentially uncomfortable, but inevitable, change. Because when planets take a backspin, that’s the time they can have significantly beneficial affects on our lives. PISCES: Yes, the current lengthy backspin of Uranus, the game-changing planet, may be disruptive. The good news is, it’s also an excellent time for breaking the chains of habit, studying something new and thinking outside the box in any area where we may be fixed, stuck or set in our ways.

ADDRESS FOR BYRON WRITERS FEST

One of Australia’s most eminent Indigenous academics and advocates, Professor Marcia Langton, pictured, delivered the Byron Writers Festival 2020 Thea Astley address. The address, named in honour of one of Australia’s most influential and distinctive novelists, has been presented at the Festival anually since 2005 by some of Australia’s best writers and intellectuals. Thea Astley, who died in 2004, wrote The Multiple Effects of Rainshadow in 1996. The novel is based on a violent event that took place on Palm Island, QLD in

BAKER BOY TRIUMPHANT AT SPECTACULAR NATIONAL INDIGENOUS MUSIC AWARDS Pandemic restrictions weren’t enough to dampen the spirits at this year’s National Indigneous Music Awards (NIMA). The twohour event went completely virtual, celebrating First Nations talent from across our lands. The night’s big winner was Yolngu man, Baker Boy, who won Artist of the Year, Song of the Year and Film Clip of the Year for his hit Meditjin. Accepting his awards live from Bendigo, Baker Boy offered love for his fellow First Nations artists, and thanked his family across Arnhem Land for their belief and support. ‘Woah, my heart! This is crazy,’ he said. ‘I honestly didn’t think I could win at all tonight, but I just want to say to all the nominees… you are incredible, you are

amazing, and I am so proud of you all, my brothers and sisters,’ said Baker Boy. ‘To my family, I’m so proud to represent my people, and so overwhelmed by the support and success I have achieved rapping in Yolgnu Matha and English.’ Archie Roach won Album Of The Year for Tell Me Why, Miiesha won New Talent of the Year, KDA Crew won Community Clip of the Year, and Rrawun Maymuru and Nick Wales took out the Indigenous Language Award for Nyapillilngu (Spirit Lady). Kee’Ahn won the Archie Roach Foundation Award.

Professor Langton says, ‘I hope Thea Astley, in the other world, has watched the last few weeks of the Black Lives Matter movement, and pondered on the history of Palm Island. It seems that every generation needs to be told why black lives matter. Here we are again’. The speech is available via podcast at: www.byronwritersfestival.com/digital.

DOCUMENTARY CHANGES Award-winning impact storyteller, Angie Davis, is playing a pivotal role in the evolution of the documentary genre, with a groundbreaking documentary series that recently launched globally. Through the use of virtual reality (VR) technologies and evocative storytelling, the immersive natural history series, ecosphere, has been created to enable audiences to experience some of the world’s most remote and wild landscapes from the comfort of their own home. In partnership with Phoria, an award winning immersive technology studio, Facebook’s Oculus, the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and Silverback Films, Angie wrote and produced ecosphere with Dan Huertas, while studying her Master of Creative Industries (MCI) at

SAE Creative Media Institute. Ecosphere was directed, filmed and edited by Joseph Purdam. Having an extensive career in journalism, Angie wanted to hone her academic skills while deepening her storytelling through film and VR. Embarking on SAE’s MCI has given her an avenue to do this holistically; accessing industry thought-leaders and creative networks, while working tirelessly on her capstone project,

Thankfully, I didn’t have to cancel my master’s studies, and the team at SAE have been incredibly

Matt Evans, General Manager for SAE Australasia, says the MCI program is an ideal pathway for established creatives to reinforce their professional direction, get support on a capstone project, or make further inroads within the creative industries. ‘The calibre of our current master’s students is just incredible. I am proud to see SAE’s students not only succeeding in the creative industries, but actively leading the way with new technology. Being at the forefront of innovation and entrepreneurship is an integral part of what our master’s students learn at SAE.’

His work is evaporating with the growing dominance of the internet, and his wife, Marianne (Ardant), loathes him. Things take a turn when Victor meets Antoine (Guillaume Canet) whose company offers a unique theatrical service where customers are able to revisit memories and play out fantasies through carefully orchestrated re-enactments. Victor decides to relive the most memorable week of his existence, 40 years earlier, when he met the love of his life.

LA BELLE ÉPOQUE The clichés of French film history are playfully explored in César Awardwinning filmmaker Nicolas Bedos’ hilarious La Belle Époque, which darts between present day and the wild, wonderful disco era of the 1970s in a whimsical, witty and romantic tale. This reimagining of the film-within-a-film concept also boasts the mighty combination of Daniel Auteuil and Fanny Ardant, who appear alongside the filmmaker’s frequent collaborator, Doria Tillier, having co-starred in his 2017 debut, Mr & Mme Adelman.

The series features neverbefore-seen cinematic 5.7k stereoscopic VR footage at 60FPS, shot with the latest pre-production 3D-180 cameras. Custom VR stabilising technology allowed filming to take place in technically challenging environments – from the air to the deep ocean.

Goodbye for now, QLD. We had some good times. Remember that time you were ruled by that crackpot tyrant, Joh Bjelke-Petersen (1968 – 1987)? Or when you elected Pauline Hanson in 1996 and kept voting for her? Booting out Premier Campbell Newman after one disastrous term was particularly entertaining (2011 – 2015). Fun times. Hope we can do it again soon. Much love, the Welshies x. Q Q Q Q

Questions are yet to be answered after a massive explosion on Tuesday ripped apart Beirut, killing hundreds. Futurist George Freidman asks, ‘Why was a shipment of 2,750 tonnes of ammonium nitrate stored at [Lebanon’s major] harbour for six years, and who owned it? Why was this dangerous chemical stored in a warehouse so close to the business and residential areas?’ Same could be said for the 6,000 to 12,000 tonnes of ammonium nitrate Orica stores in the Port of Newcastle.

Keep off the dunes at Clarkes Beach. The high tides and full moons are likely to cause more erosion making them vulnerable to further collapse. Byron Shire Council is continuing to monitor the situation. Q Q Q Q

Truth in advertising 101 – The Bower Byron hotel has reputedly sold for an undisclosed sum, according to www.thehotelconversation.com.au, that also set a ‘record price for the region’. How can the public believe that, if it’s an undisclosed sum? Great range, expert advice, professional installation. New Quantum NextGEN Flooring. Loose lay vinyl plank manufactured specifically to endure the harsh Australian climate. During scientific testing, Quantum outperformed all of the current loose lay planks on the market.

Correction: Further to last week’s story, Nationals MP mute over councillors’ low pay grade, local Greens MP Tamara Smith incorrectly stated Byron councillors were ‘paid less than the old Newstart amount’. She has corrected her statement to reflect that the old Newstart amount amounts to $14,300 pa, which is less than a councillor’s salary of $20,280 pa. Q Q Q Q

There are several endangered and critically endangered birds who are currently nesting in areas along the beaches of the Byron and Ballina shires.
