Council responds

A second performance by Bob Dylan and an extra day at next year’s Bluesfest has been ‘bushwacked’ by Council, according to its director Peter Noble. Mr Noble said he was assured the DA would be considered at the last Council meeting, however it failed to be put on Council’s agenda. ‘It would be impossible to Nicholas Shand proceed with the date,’ he told 1948-1996 The Echo, ‘given there is no Founding Editor council meeting in January. Sine quo non ‘The next council meeting is not until February 10 – a time after which an approval would be too late to put tickets on sale. ‘We only have 100 tickets left The Echo was created, produced and distributed by the for Monday, Mr Noble said. ‘In following people over the last year.

Council’s executive manager of planning Ray Darney told The Echo the application was reviewed by the Planning Review Committee on the same day as the application closed: Wednesday December 15. ‘Due to over 30 submissions received against the application, the committee determined that the application be considered at the next Council meeting. Unfortunately it could not have gone to the Council meeting the following day due the requirement for an accompanying Council report.’ Mr Darney said opposition to the additional one day surrounded noise and amenity to nearby local residents. He added that whilst he appreciated the need for a quick decision there was a process to follow. ‘Council will consider the Bluesfest application as quickly as it possibly can under current workloads and Christmas break time constraints,’ he said. Member for Ballina Don Page told The Echo that the situation was ‘unacceptable.’ ‘It shouldn’t take three months to deal with a minor variation in planning approval,’ he said. Mr Noble says in the interim he will push the application for Ministerial intervention. ‘A Land and Environment court urgent appication will proceed,’ he added.

SAE sells for $289 million The School of Audio Engineering (SAE institute) has been sold to Navitas Limited for $289 million. Other reports have suggested $300 million, however. Founded by part time local Tom Misner in 1976, SAE comprises 47 campuses in 19 countries, and in 2002 opened the Byron Bay campus. It offers post-secondary education in creative media technologies such as audio and video. Australian based education provider Navitas similarly offers pre-university and university programs for students with operations in Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada, Asia and Africa. The company was started by Rod Jones, and substantial shareholders now include HSBC Custody Nominees

(Australia) (10.8%), Remjay Investments Pty Ltd (10.14%), J P Morgan Nominees Australia Limited (9.65%) and Landmark Holdings (WA) Pty Ltd (8.31%). ‘The acquisition by Navitas represents the next phase in SAE’s ongoing growth,’ said Mr Misner. ‘We expect the partnership to deliver new and exciting education opportunities for both the students and management.’ Both companies announced that key management have agreed to stay with SAE, including Mr Misner, who has been appointed President of Global Operations. The sale will see SAE, as part of Navitas, publicly traded on the stock exchange. The announced sale put Navitas stock price at $3.99 last week.

Local News Plan to squash 33 units on to suburban block riles locals

The iconic Brunswick Heads squash courts/gymnasium/indoor swimming pool in residential Teven Street faces redevelopment into into 33 rental units. Locals fear that it may become a busy backpacker hostel in the quiet residential street. Story & photo Luis Feliu

The tight-knit community of Brunswick Heads is rallying to oppose the redevelopment of the village’s longstanding squash courts centre into 33 rental units. The new owners of the two-storey red-brick building in Teven Street, which has served the local community as the gym/squash/indoor pool centre for two generations, have lodged plans with Byron Shire Council to turn it into 29 one-bedroom units, four twobedroom units and a manager’s residence. Brunswick Heads residents are being urged to make their opposition to the high-density redevelopment felt, with submissions to the plans closing on January 12. The locals are furious, saying it’s an inappropriate overdevelopment for their quiet street

on the western side of the old Pacific Highway (Tweed Street), which will create a traffic nightmare with the potential for up to 100 residents crammed into the units on a suburban block. The plans describe the development as ‘affordable rental housing’ but locals are sceptical of the claim the units would provide low cost housing. Some fear it will become a backpackers’ hostel. A petition circulating the township says the highly dense development was ‘an insult to all local residents’ and was totally unsuitable for the ‘family friendly holiday town’. ‘There is insufficient parking for single residents, let alone for couples or prospective visitors, and no water tanks or solar power,’ the petition says. The locals say Brunswick Heads also lacks public transport and job opportunities.

The units would be ‘struc- be charged.

Grail Quest

D OĨɴ Ç‹_ N EĂžĹ˜ÇŁ

Introduction to Grail Quest (an 8-week course) which is the opening term of the two year parttime foundation course.

GRAIL QUEST offers a modern form of adult education based on the work of Rudolf Steiner. Through a deepened understanding of the inner workings of the world and ourselves, inner development and soul transformation are brought about. This in turn leads to an enhanced capacity to transform the outer world. The course consists of lectures, discussions and workshops which are expanded through artistic experiences in music, painting, sculpture, story telling, speech, drama, craft and the new art of eurythmy. No previous artistic experience is necessary. The emphasis of the course is away from competition and is focused on individual growth. The course aims to teach through the heart, hand and mind and to bring our efforts to fruition through love of the deed. GRAIL QUEST is also the prerequisite for the Steiner Teacher Training programme.

Mums graduate from college

Story & Photo Eve Jeffery

Byron Community College hosted a graduation evening at its newly renovated Mullumbimby facilities. ‘It was a celebration and recognition of the efforts of 200 learners in a wide variety of national industry qualifications including community services, arts, media, massage, general education, training and assessment, said Director Richard Vinycomb.

Students Lisa Fensom, Sharon Gibson and Leanne Hamilton we very excited at the prospect of graduating from their courses. Lisa, pictured left, who was also named student of the year, completed a Certificate III in Community Services, a Certificate IV in Training and Education and is currently doing her Diploma in Community Services all the while raising six children. Sharon and Leanne, pic-

tured right, are also both parents. Sharon Gibson, a mother of two, completed her Certificate IV in Training and Education and is a tutor with the college and Leanne studied alongside her kids. Leanne completed a Certificate IV Training and Education while her son Kurt did his Certificate III in Fitness and daughter Kahlia fininished her Certificate III in Children Services.

Byron Shire Council voted this week to support Bangalow residents in their campaign to stop the Roads & Traffic Authority (RTA) building a new interchange in Bangalow. Councillor Tony Heeson’s resolution also carried a signature petition of 1015 Bangalow residents which was sent to the NSW Parliament requesting the RTA be directed to retain the existing interchange as it stands. Resident Ian Hay said, ‘If the new interchange went ahead, it would redirect trucks carrying dangerous goods and wide or heavy loads onto Bangalow Road. It also includes all highway traffic in the event of the tunnel being closed,’ he said. ‘These trucks would need to negotiate a 180-degree turn at the RTA’s proposed interchange – not an easy feat for a truck carrying a heavy load – and then negotiate a 90-degree right turn onto Bangalow Road. ‘It’s a local road so there’s local traffic they would need to give way to. And then about 100 metres further up Bangalow Road, they’d have to make another righthand

Feeling the pinch of fewer Backpackers Victoria Cosford

Backpackers to the Byron Shire are staying for shorter periods and spending less, according to local operators. They agreed with the latest tourism figures which showed a 20 per cent downturn in international backpackers Australia-wide. ‘Twenty per cent is about right,’ Main Beach Backpackers’ Manager James RobinsonGale told The Echo. ‘Things had been fairly steady since 2000 – we sort of escaped the GFC (Global Financial Crisis) for a while but then it hit backpackers in a big way over the last (European) summer. ‘There’s a lot of anxiety in

places like Cairns, Fraser Island and Hervey Bay.’ He said that they had had ‘a long happy run’ but that it was more difficult this year, and he has been forced to shorten shifts. ‘We’re charging less than we were last year, so we’re more competitive,’ he said. ‘Tourism Australia does surveys that show similar numbers are coming through but staying less time and spending less.’

Change in traveller demographics While echoing this experience, owner/manager of Cape Byron Lodge Martin Grainey says he has noticed changes in the style of traveler here.

He told The Echo backpackers used to holiday for several months – coming here for several days before moving on – however now they are wanting working holidays. ‘You’re getting the English and Spaniards with working visas who come over for the long term but with limited funds so they’re looking for work and end up at places like Bundaberg. ‘They’re a lot more centred on spending as little as possible and they’re spending less time in Byron. Five years ago they seemed more flush with cash and didn’t haggle as much – now they whinge about the cost of groceries and alcohol. ‘When they notice how expensive we are here they tight-

turn onto a new access ramp onto the new highway.’ Mr Hay said that if constructed, the new interchange would mix highway traffic with local traffic, posing serious risks in terms of traffic congestion, load spillages, pollution and road safety. ‘Bangalow Road is simply not designed to cope with heavy traffic,’ he said. A better solution, Mr Hay said, is to retain the existing simple slip road interchange. ‘Heavy vehicles not permit-

en their belts.’ He said that South Africa’s World Cup had also affected the downturn, and ‘obviously Splendour was a shot in the arm for the town and that’s a big loss.’ Night manager of the Backpackers Holiday Village Hostel Ari Gold agreed that the World Cup in South Africa was a major factor, along with the strong Australian dollar. He said bookings were down although would pick up after Christmas. Mr Grainey remains optimistic as well. ‘The Australian Tourism site looks promising regarding the number of visas applied for,’ he said. ‘It’s looking good for 2011.’

ted through the St Helena tunnel would be redirected along the old highway, as would all traffic in the event of the tunnel being closed.’ ‘This traffic would then rejoin the new highway at Ross Lane interchange if heading south, or at Ewingsdale interchange if heading north. ‘We have put our proposal to the RTA on a number of occasions, but so far we have been met with unsatisfactory and at times inaccurate responses from the Minister for Roads.’

New events for Bruns festival

The best way to get into gear for Brunswick Heads’ annual Festival of the Fish ‘n’ Chips is to eat some – Robin, Leigh, Jamal, Jill and Glen tuck into some of the town’s finest. Story & Photo Eve Jeffery

Jamal Slater is a veteran of the Brunswick Heads Woodchop’s world famous ring crew. At the tender age of just 14, Jamal will launch into his fifth season of pulling nails and sweeping chips at the event

which is held during the annual Festival of the Fish ‘n’ Chips. On the weekend, Jamal met with the Brunswick Heads Progress Association’s Robin Baker and Jill Ball, sponsor Leigh Grossmith and carnival operator Glen McGregor to discuss the merits of both fish

Petitions ran out as passers by near Railway Park agreed with the call to stop old growth logging in Tasmania’s forests last Wednesday. The day was part of 53 actions in 21 countries over December 14 and 15, and called for the immediate moratorium followed by formal legislated protection for Tasmania’s world-class forests. ‘We look forward to seeing this long-awaited moratorium put in place immediately and urgent steps taken towards protecting these irreplaceable ecosystems forever,’ said Still Wild Still Threatened spokesperson Ula Majewski.

and chips as elements of a successful festival. Despite the rain, the group are expecting a great year as the festival has grown from just hosting the Woodchop Carnival and fishing comp to include an ever expanding list of activities.

The first event for the festival will be the Brunwick Heads Sand Modelling Competition at the south wall on Monday January 3, then the traditional kick off will be held on Saturday January 8 with fireworks to signify the official beginning of the festival. Anglers can also register for the fishing competition at the Housie Shed at 2pm on Saturday afternoon and the athletics will be held at Thompson Oval from 8.30am on Sunday. The highlight, as always, will be the running of the Woodchop Carnival. You will be able to see chips flying from January 12 to 15 at the woodchop ring in Banner Park. To enter the Sandmodelling Competition contact Gloria Mills on 6685 0188. Registration for the event is at 2.30pm on the day at the south wall.

Byron Shire produces stellar HSC results Story & Photo Eve Jeffery

Mullum, Woodlawn, Steiner and Shearwater students earn top results Last Tuesday, students from across the state sat with fingers poised over their keypads, waiting for the seconds to tick by, ready to type in their pin and read the verdict of their HSC exams. Many spent the day using one of the internet’s ATAR calculators searching for a guesstimate of the all important double digit number, which for many, will set them on the path of the rest of their lives. On Wednesday the agony was over and the Byron Shire produced some stellar results from the hundreds of year 12 teenagers. Individual results were generally of a high standard

across the board and several students were standouts within the shire. Declan Burke from Mullumbimby High School was one of the Shire’s top students, his ATAR of 99.1 a great result for someone who took the road less travelled with extension I and II maths on his list of ‘been there done that’. Next year Declan will attend UNSW to do a Bachelor of Commerce majoring in Actuarial Studies, with the help of a UNSW CO-OP Scholarship valued at $15,000 per year. Also from the Mullum cohort is Emily Riches. The sky is not the limit for Emily, whose ATAR of 99.3 included excellent scores in Ancient History, Advanced English, English Extension 1, Society and Culture and Visual Art. Jacob Zinman-Jeanes was one of the Cape Byron Steiner School’s year 12 group which reached amazing results in the

Business bottom line Supporting local business SCU coffee research project begins Southern Cross University’s Centre for Plant Conservation and Genetics has just begun an extensive research project into the plant science of coffee. The objectives are to discover a lot more about the coffee plant, how to best grow it and how to produce truly great coffee in the Northern Rivers. It is planned that in time the harvesting, processing and roasting of coffee will also be researched with the same objectives. The aim is to become one of the top coffee-growing areas globally with a brand and reputation to match. Potentially a huge fillip for the region’s coffee industry, the research is supported by Coffee Union Pty Ltd of Federal that trades locally as Green Cauldron Coffee. A research advisory committee called CoffRAC has been established by SCU with members consisting of academics, scientists, coffee executives and research managers. It held its first meeting on Friday December 17, following up with a lunch where prominent locals had the chance to informally meet the committee members.

Skerry takes out Art of Surfing prize Surfboard artist Simon Skerry has won first prize in the recent Art of Surfing competition held on the Gold Coast. The prize – $1500 worth of graphic art and printing from Rehmagraphics – will be used to further his surfboard art career. According to Skerry, surf artists and manufacturers do not usually have sufficient opportunity to show people what they are capable of. ‘It is a true art to decorate a board because of the shape and contours of the board. It is not just about slapping your everyday drawing or painting onto a board, the design element of surf art is an art form in itself...I was fortunate in that my work was judged against some best known industry board artists such as Dick Van Straaleen, Morning of the Earth, Christian Chapman and local artist Shane Martin.’ His winning artwork can also be seen at http://www.tracksmag. com/201010061787/Blogs/Tracks-Blog/Art-of-surfing.html.

Driftlab opens second store Newly-opened Driftlab in Newrybar is a slightly more mature version of its Byron Bay counterpart, according to owner Zane Greer. Next door to Harvest Cafe, it occupies the site previously inhabited by the Nurybah Gallery, and stocks both locally-made and imported clothing, jewellery, leathergoods and shoes. Mr Greer – brother of Harvest Cafe’s Tristan – describes the merchandise as ‘a fusion of summer-loving beach culture and city.’ Plans are afoot for developing part of the space into a deli/emporium/provedore, supplying locallymade salmis, cheeses, coffees and teas – which they hope to have up and running within about six months.

state tally. Jacob is one of the many for whom the ATAR is less important than other results of the HSC. ‘Despite getting a fairly high ATAR of 93.45, I’m not really planning to go into anything particularly fancy or academic for Uni,’ says Jacob. Federal’s Manny Hartnett has also been chosen for Art Express which will see his work displayed at the New England Regional Art Museum. The Woodlawn student received the most outstanding student in art for 2010 and was ranked first in his class. Shearwater student Louise Tate was honoured last week when she travelled to Sydney to receive the award for her statewide top score of 99 per cent in her French Beginners exam. Although Shearwater does not offer French as a subject, Louise learned by distance education. ‘I studied French through Southern Cross distance education which meant I only got to speak to my French teacher over the phone for about 30 minutes per week,’ says Louise. ‘This definitely makes it much harder to practise speaking in French than in a normal classroom situation.’ Louise plans to travel next year to Europe and put her French into practice. Cape Byron Steiner School had great results being the number one school for the North Coast region in the state’s top 200 list, with with Mullumbimby High School fifth in the same region. Cape Byron came an impressive equal 50th in the state with Mullum coming in at 156th. Though the school didn’t make it onto the list, Shearwater’s ex-chairman of the board Jan Roskott at said that the

school congratulates the year 12 students and the parents, teachers and class guardians with their outstanding academic results. ‘It’s interesting how we received our best academic achievement in what was our most challenging year ever. ‘The resilience, faith and buoyancy of this tremendously talented group served as a guiding light for all and we clearly raised the bar, yet again.’ Mullumbimby High School principal Ian Graham is pleased with student results.

‘This year’s cohort have really outdone themselves,’ he said on Friday. ‘Out of a class of 93 students, 12 gained ATARs over 90 and two over 99. Further, Mullum High was the highest ranked public school in the north coast region 200 top schools list for this year.We are absolutely delighted with these results and so proud of our students.’ Senior English teacher at the Cape Byron Steiner School Katie Biggin is over the moon with the results of the school’s year 12 results which she says is

a testimony to the well rounded and enthusiastic students and the dedicated teachers. ‘We are very thrilled by another year of fantastic results by our students. Our fabulous Class 12 group took us into the top 50 schools, a rank order of schools according to the proportion of student results that are over 90 per cent. ‘There were many excellent results across the board, with students aiming for and achieving their best and we wish congratulations to our Class of 2010.’

State government pressure on Council mounts Ray Moynihan

The State government appears to be turning up the pressure on Byron Shire Council with revelations of a barrage of recent inquiries about financial and management issues. Late last month the Division of Local Government wrote to Council with more than a dozen questions about the library relocation and the new $17 million sports complex, currently being built on Ewingsdale Road. Claiming Council’s financial position was ‘relatively poor,’ the state government department asked how Council would fund ongoing maintenance and loan repayments for the projects. Similarly a letter two weeks earlier stated that the government had received ‘concerns’ about Council’s tendering processes, particularly in relation to the new sports complex. In both cases, the Council’s general manager sent back comprehensive replies, at times disagreeing with the government’s assertions, outlining Council’s future financial planning, and revealing details of an ongoing dispute with the state over whether the sports complex had been properly approved. While the state govern-

ment has told The Echo the exchanges are simply ‘routine’ others fear a broader agenda, given the history of antipathy towards Council. Councillor Ross Tucker says the recent wave of questions from the state government has him puzzled, ‘because they don’t seem to be clearly identifying what the overall concern is.’ Cr Tucker told The Echo he believes there may be a campaign to discredit the Council, and ‘put it under pressure’ adding that the replies to the government’s questions ‘vindicate that at all stages Council’s actions have been appropriate and justified.’ Mayor Jan Barham – a Greens candidate for the state’s legislative council – says the recent letters appear to be part of a wider and deliberate strategy promoted by certain business interests to undermine the council, and ultimately replace it with an administrator or force it to amalgamate. State member for Ballina Don Page told The Echo the Coalition’s policy was not to force any council amalgamations, and while there were no plans to push for voluntary amalgamation, if the coalition was elected councils would be encouraged to share resources such as accounting services. Local business group Byron

United has in the past taken a strong public stance against the green-dominated council, but the current president Sevegne Newton said last week the group was not involved in any attempt to discredit Council. The exchange of letters also reveals that Council informed the state government in September of a ‘technical breach’ of tendering regulations. The matter involves a contractor being hired repeatedly by different Byron Shire council staff at different times, involving a total body of work believed to be in excess of $150,000 over several years, an amount which would normally require tenders to be called.

The state government wrote back asking whether there was any evidence of corruption, and the council replied it was reviewing the matter, ‘to determine whether there is any evidence of corruption’. In an interview with The Echo, General Manager Graeme Faulkner confirmed ‘all issues including procurement, tendering, contracting, and financial systems will be subject to the review,’ but he declined to comment further. A spokesperson for the Division of Local Government says it is simply following a rigorous set of procedures in relation to funding for the sports complex and library.

Shearwater’s chairman resigns Jan Roskott has voluntarily stood down as Shearwater’s chairman, effective immediately. In a release to The Echo, he said, ‘As the proposed amendments were not passed at the last EGM (Extraordinary General Meeting), I felt obliged to step down as chairman, as a result of ambiguous wording in the original constitution. I felt it was serendipitous in a way, as the board was moving more towards the governance role and my strength lies more in hands-on management. As the school experienced

a void in operational management I offered my services on a contractual basis, allowing me to start immediately. ‘The current management team – with Julie Lovett in the educational management role and Ty Dickson as business manager next to me – hit the ground running and we’re highly buoyant about our future. 2010 was a year of purging for us in a way. Financially, we were able to clean up ship, whereas academically we’ve demonstrated to be up there with the best schools. The future is bright.’

Comment

Spinners run up to the new year Volume 25 #29

December 21, 2010

Defining moments in 2010 Big business in a little town In early February, the Land and Environment Court Commisssioner Robert Hussey gave approval for Woolworths to construct a supermarket in Mullumbimby. The result continues to divide the town, and was strongly opposed by Council. With Woolies’ construction hampered by continuous bad weather, it finds itself almost a year later in a protracted PR spin campaign. Those most affected are the neighbours – barricades have hindered Mullumbimby businesses and homes for months. Despite a promise for it to be taken down for Christmas, the company has not announced a date. It’s not all bad for locals wanting locally sourced food, however; in late January the Mullum Farmers Market plans are announced. Also this year, fifty thousand dollars was awarded to the Mullumbimby Community Garden Inc (MCG) by The Northern Rivers Food Links Grant, which helps provide communities the opportunity to leave a lighter ecological footprint and be more self sufficient.

Festival growing pains The Shire’s biggest festivals also claimed a lot of the spotlight, with Bluesfest and Spendour both taking different routes to secure the longevity of their large scale operations. The 11 year tenure granted by Council for Bluesfest to operate its once a year Easter event in Ewingsdale was hard fought, and included the input of many community groups and Council’s new Events Policy. Equally hard fought was Spendour’s application for a permanent home in Yelgun. Council and many community groups were unsatisfied with the size and frequency of the proposed events, and as a result the decision was taken to the NSW Government for approval. Interestingly enough, Splendour claim to have a swag of signed petitions that outweighs its opponents’, however its supporters are predominantly from outside the Shire while the objections were local.

Community funded infrastructure The Helen Street bridge in South Golden Beach finally gets approval in February and opens the same year. Unfortunately not the same can be said for the Lighthouse Road, where the five year saga is at last now up for tender. It’s also been six years since the trains last ran on the North Coast. Despite Federal government promises for its return, nothing has been done, nor are there any proposals by them for public transport. There appears no shortage of funding for highways, however. Brunswick Heads gets a skatepark in April, and works for a new Regional Sport and Cultural Centre in Ewingsdale begin in March. The Byron library is also awarded $200K in March, and then again the same amount just last week.

Privately funded infrastructure

A

bad week in a tough year, gloated Dennis Shanahan in the Weekend Australian, promising that things can only get worse for Julia Gillard and her government. And indeed they may: there is still a lot of unfinished business, and quite a bit yet to be started. Labor is once again behind in the polls, more trouble is looming with the miners, the irrigators, and the state governments, and of course the politics of what should be the side issue of boat people keep getting worse. And even when the government manages to produce something positive it gets little credit: the best the critics can find to say about Wayne Swan’s banking reforms is that they are better than nothing, but not much. But: Labor is still in government, and despite the best efforts of The Australian seems likely to remain so. Which leaves our national daily all the more time and space to devote to the real issue: itself. The weekend paper used more than five broadsheet pages to give its readers the message: We’re always right and everyone else (but especially the Fairfax press) is always wrong – about everything, including but not only Wikileaks, Kevin Rudd, and of course climate change. Ah yes, climate change. Editor-in-chief Chris Mitchell insists that he really believes in it, but given that his paper has once again become a haven for sceptics, deniers and downright nutters, his affirmation has all the conviction of Galileo’s enforced admission that the earth is the unmoving centre of creation. But at least Mitchell is certain about that: he follows the doctrine of the medieval fathers of his church that the

universe revolves around this planet, and more specifically around that portion of it occupied by himself.

A

nd that’s quite enough politics for 2010. On to something more cheerful. If the Australian cricket team were run on the same lines as the Australian Labor Party, Ricky Ponting would never have led it into the Perth Test.

Nowadays there is little real money in test cricket: like chess, it is too complex, too studied and above all too long. by Mungo MacCallum After Adelaide, the judgement of the pollsters, the focus groups and the factional bosses was clear: the team had lost its way and the only solution was a change of leadership. No matter that no one really wanted the job, or was better qualified than Ponting to take it: a fresh face was the obvious and only answer. Well, no; not only would the switch have been unsettling and divisive, but there is no reason to believe that it would have made things any better. Like Kevin Rudd, Ponting has his weaknesses; as Rudd was no Gough Whitlam or Bob Hawke, Ponting is no Richie Benaud or Ian Chappell. But he doesn’t have a bad record, and no matter what the mass media commentariat likes to think, he is generally well regarded by the public. The problem is not the leader, but the whole institution of cricket. As the great Bruce Petty put it in a memorable cartoon about the Liberal Party many years ago: ‘The boy stood

Developer Eric Freeman’s Tallowood subdivision in Mullumbimby goes before Council and the courts, as does the Belongil beach erosion issue, and the 100 hectare West Byron Project, which is located 2.5 kilometres west of Byron Bay, is announced, SPAR supermarket opens a Byron Bay store in February and then closes it in June, and this week SAE institute sells for $289 million. Byron businesses claim they are feeling the pinch of fewer tourists and launch the ‘My Byron Day’ campaign. Shearwater School in Mullumbimby announces earlier in the year it needs two million to keep afloat, and despite the community’s financial support, the year ends with seven administrators facing court for unpaid works.

administrators, the television networks and, let us not forget, the players themselves. Nowadays there is little real money in test cricket: like chess, it is too complex, too studied and above all too long. For a while a simpler substitute was found in the one day, fifty over, pyjama version – draughts, perhaps. And now we have gone all the way down to snakes and ladders: the mindless hit and giggle of 20/20. It’s easy, over before dinner and immensely profitable; what’s not to like? Well, all of the above. The skills needed for test cricket are rapidly being lost, players are being worn out both physically and mentally and the great tradition of over a century trashed in the name of a quick buck. But there is a solution which could, if anyone had the courage to implement it, solve the problem: simply quarantine the various versions of the game. Test players should not be allowed to play 20/20 until they

are ready to retire from the real thing. To some extent that is already happening, and it should not be beyond the wit of the gin-soaked old farts (as Ian Botham once described them) who run the sport to formalise the arrangement. It would not mean that test players would miss out on the 20/20 pot of gold; they could sign contracts in advance, auctioning off the years when tests become simply too strenuous. But in the meantime they would have to concentrate on developing the true skills of the game; the ability to build an innings or bowl in long spells and to temper attack and defence. All the best Australian teams have been built around this formula, particularly as it applies to the bowling attack; the most effective quicks have been noted for their endurance as well as their mastery of tactics and technique. But even more so it applies to the spinners. Australia has seldom fielded a truly great team that did not include a classical wrist spinner. But these days the selectors run through the tweakers like drowning men grasping at straws when they should be looking to find and groom another Clarrie Grimmett, Bill O’Reilly, Richie Benaud or Shane Warne. And there is at least one credible candidate: Steve Smith, at present squandering his talents on 50/50 and 20/20. He would be the ideal test case for the quarantining program and it should be tried forthwith. At present Australian cricket is looking a bit like the New South Wales state government. And compliments of the season to everyone, including all those mentioned in this and previous columns. Once again: Bah, humbug.

Worth a mention Labor’s Justine Elliot holds onto the Federal seat of Richmond – despite a swing against. The Greens’ Joe Ebono polled well in the Shire, especially in the hinterland. Later Elliot steps down as Minister for Ageing, and takes on Parliamentary Secretary for Trade. In April, Rous Water fluoridates the water supplies of Richmond River, Lismore and Ballina Councils, but leaves Byron Shire unfluoridated for the time being.

Letters Holiday letting John Gudgeon of the Holiday Let Organisation recently stated (Byron Shire News, December 16) that ‘the simple fact is that holiday letting is legal in Byron Shire’. Perhaps he needs to refresh his knowledge of the prohibited activities under residential zoning laws, where holiday letting is clearly listed. And, further to that, can he reassure holiday makers renting holiday lets, that their accommodation complies with all the relevant fire, safety and disabled access codes under the BCA that apply to tourist accommodation? You can bet your life (and theirs) he can’t. He also said of the holiday makers that ‘the allegation that they somehow destroy the amenity of the neighnourhood is grossly unfair and deeply insulting’. What is grossly unfair, Mr Gudgeon, is having seven young men on a bender in the house next door, exhibiting grossly insulting behaviour. Mr Gudgeon stated that ‘the statistics clearly show that behavioural problems occur in a tiny percentage of the number of stays each year.’ To what statistics is he referring, and how many incidents go unreported because neighbours are too jaded to go through the futile exercise of registering a complaint with Council? And, speaking of statistics, it would be interesting to know just how many holiday let landlords actually live in the Byron Shire and have experienced firsthand the impact of a week long party in the house next door. Mr Gudgeon also maintains that short term holiday letting is not a commercial activity. How then would he describe the activity where a property is managed by a commercial agent, advertised on tourist accommodation websites, and made available for holiday letting for 90 per cent of the year to large, often unrelated, groups? A lot of huffing and puffing from Mr Gudgeon in his 800

word article, but interestingly, not once did he use the term ‘community’. Louise Andrews

The reality is a person’s life has been taken and for emotional growth for any students as a witness or perpetrator the truth will help bring a sense of resolution to Jai, his family and friends or any concerned persons looking on. It is not about dobbing someone in or being afraid to get involved. Those emotions are based on fear, you have to think beyond that . I make one last appeal for information and it is not too late. What is required before the inquest is honest information about what happened before the fight broke out, during the incident and the aftermath. Also if you gave information to school or police, please, I would appreciate hearing from you. It is important to know whether you wrote or signed

a statement, the interview was recorded and an adult witness present at the time. I appeal to friends of Jai to give reports of his wellbeing that day of the 28th. If you saw him in geography before recess or at the break itself, tell me how he appeared to you. Reports of Jai being unwell and collapsing at school show little regard for his injuries or the incident itself but proof is required to prove otherwise. Character references regarding Jai would be welcomed, stating how long you have known him and a brief description of his personality. Have you known Jai to be aggressive, pick fights or to be involved in one? I have been disappointed at examples set by various departments after Jai’s death which show a lack of respect

and compassion. At times I fear for this country when we are forced to rely on it to protect and educate. We cannot bring that beautiful boy back into the world but we can help to make sure respect is shown to his memory and remind ourselves of the senselessness of violence. The Coroner’s inquest commences on January 31 at Lismore Courthouse and runs for two weeks. I encourage everyone to follow its proceedings or attend at any time. If you have any information or questions please write to my postal address: Stephen Drummond, PO Box 153, Mullumbimby 2482 or phone or text on 0421 198 682 with your contact details and I will respond ASAP.

Responses to Cr Tabart’s opinion Response to article of December 14, ‘Councils choke in State’s stranglehold’. Councillor Tabart’s recent commentary on his ‘relative powerlessness’ in the face of local bureaucracy is in my view unsubstantiated in some areas. Elected local government officials (and hence councils) develop policy, govern the community, review performance and delivery of services and participate in the allocation of resources for the benefit of the Shire. The administration compile reports and present them to Council for debate. Council has the ability to agree with the staff recommendation, or not, make alternative resolutions and to call for further information through another report. The decisions made in the Council Chamber come from Council. Cr Tabart’s comments inferring staff deliberately delay the processing of Council business is untrue. Staff work within the

parameters of resourcing and Council resolutions – not an easy balance to achieve and one that can lead to frustration internally, by Councillors and in the community. Cr Tabart is correct in one area. There has been a succession of General Managers in recent years and there has been high staff turnover in some Council areas. For example, Council delays in the adoption of a Local Environmental Plan (LEP) and the nine year debate on affordable housing has left many shaking their heads. Can morale suffer and quality staff leave as a result? Yes. And for the record, Council decisions often place staff (particularly compliance staff) in many difficult situations (often between warring neighbours) with the unrealistic expectations that they can solve and appease voters. The staff ’s resilience in the face of constant public criticism, such as has recently been directed at staff by

Cr Tabart, has been exceptional. On a final note, I agree with Cr Tabart on the issue of cost shifting. The majority of NSW councils are now facing the accumulated impacts of over 20 years of rate pegging and cost shifting. As a result, our Shire infrastructure is wearing out and community and Council has a right to be frustrated. In such circumstances, staff are acutely aware that they will continue to be the meat in the sandwich as realistic community expectations become the victim of unrealistic funding sources.

Such professionalism, calm, thorough care practices, humour not humbug, while some pretty demented teenagers thronged, sobbed, sailed by, some decked out like ethereal kings as hospital bed linen was transformed into capes. Ecstasy – have you taken any? Doctor Gover quietly enquires as exalted states march about the place, while another poor lad in a neck brace is prepared for a Tweed transfer. Among all this kind of magnificent mayhem (from my point of view) you assessed and managed with such decency. It only served to reinforce why there are such good and grand things to appreciate about this shire of ours, and why, of course, folk will continue to be drawn here. I only hope you have sufficient Health Depart-

ment resources to continue this level of care. And those on the ward who now monitor and care for my 80-year-old mum as she continues to improve in room 7. Heartfelt thanks to you all – Amanda, Heather, Kathy, Andrew (Captain Fantastic), Lorelie, Hayley, sorry if I’ve missed some nurses.

pleasure to see The Echo returning to its roots with thoughtful journalism via Ray Moynihan plus an excellent short Byron backgrounder from Mayor Barham. But my favourite recent Echo piece is Cr Tom Tabart’s account of

how state governments are focused on removing powers and income from local government to the point of making them dysfunctional. Isn’t it better, Tom, for you to tell us not just how we are being screwed, but how to screw them? So a Part 2, please Tom. How do we do it? I can’t see what role state governments play that a national and regional/local government duopoly couldn’t replace with better results. This system operates in many countries – England to name just one. I see our excellent local Green Councillor, Simon Richardson, is standing for election to State Parliament. My question to Simon is when are the Greens going to have the sense to say say ‘Elect Greens to abolish this wasteful, incompetent, remote and often corrupt tier of government’? Jim Beatson

Woolworths I suppose nothing like that would happen. As well, our usual drive around the town showed us just how the back roads and lanes have been neglected, as well as the entry road which does seem to be in line for a resurface! The good people of Mullum probably know that nothing will change, no matter how much they complain, so the situation remains the same – Mullum seems like a neglected backwater of Byron Shire, as does Brunswick Heads in lots of areas, and that is quite bad. Philippa McKellar It would be very good to see Ocean Shores some positive action next time we visit.

Looking for action

We have camped at Brunswick Heads for almost 40 years, and visits to Mullumbimby are always enjoyable. However our first visit last week really dismayed us. How can the Woolworths development so effectively disrupt the life of the business community? Surely there would need to be massive compensation for such disruption, although being

The Woolies malady lingers on Q Regarding Mr Kidby’s effusively supportive letter of Woolworths last week – are you a shareholder, Richard? This is far from being a laughing matter. I feel angry. He claims that the delay in completion has been brought about by MCAN and a hostile council! What exactly have they done to delay the construction? What is the substance of his claim? He also claims to speak on behalf of residents of Station Street of which he is not one. As a former resident of the directly affected area, hav-

ing managed to evacuate out of ground zero two years ago at great expense and loss of value to our property directly because of this development, I can tell you that at that time the then residents of Station, Train, Prince, Stuart and Tincogan Streets were absolutely united in their opposition and dread of this development. Mr Kidby would like us to believe that his opinion comes from the wisdom of age. In light of the permanent trashing of what was once a beautiful and peaceful residential area and of the bully boy business

ethics, ecological irresponsibility and total disregard for community consultation, this is not a legitimate business as Richard claims in a moral sense. Its raison d’etre is to grow like a cancer on the Australian landscape, wiping out all competition on its merry way. As I crawl my way through the traffic jam that was once Mullumbimby I feel that any attempt to defend and support what is being done to Mullumbimby is not just wrong any more, it is downright offensive.

Q The only thing more annoying for me than the complete disruption of our town by development is the constant whinging through your pages by these people who call themselves the Mullumbimby Action Group. Richard Kidby touched on this in his letter last week and I’d like to suggest these people change their name to the Mullumbimby Bowel Action Group as this is the effect they have on the majority of the people.

see them out and about. I hear the stories about them when I take my large parrot Lulu to the Mullum Farmers Market. Now my problem is what has happened to my beautiful talking boy. He was devoted to his girl so I know if he could he would return. When a bird comes into your garden and lands on you, does that mean he has chosen you or is he just curious and friendly? Many people see a bird in their garden and can’t resist feeding them, out of their hand. Many times I have heard of free flying birds going missing. Where are they? Now, I can’t let mine out. Birds unfortunately are not like dogs (they talk), they cannot be taught food refusal, and as I al-

ready mentioned are extremely curious to food offered. This does not mean they are hungry! If you threw a roast chicken every day to a dog walking past your house, it would soon want to be at your house, but fortunately people don’t try to tempt other people’s dogs (and cats for that matter), so why birds? Please any info phone me on 6684 4884. Dead or alive I need to know.

Heart disease is the biggest killer of Australians and although we all get scanned and searched at the airport, no Australian has been killed or even injured through terrorist activity on an aeroplane in the last ten years. Logic would suggest people should be forced to take vitamin D and airports scans eliminated. It has been known for decades that Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a latitude-dependent disease, with its frequency increasing if people live further and further from the equator.

Vitamin D also diminishes in people who live further from the equator and lack of vitamin D might contribute to MS. Two recent studies of highdose vitamin D have shown improvement in people suffering from MS. The first study (American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Vol 86 No3 Sep 2007), showed the number of gadolinium-enhancing lesions per patient decreased from 1.75 to 0.83, compared to controls, using high-dose vitamin D. The second study (Neurology, Nov 9 2010) showed those with MS who took high-dose vitamin D had ‘fewer relapse events compared to controls’.

Articles/Comment

Farewell Hardy Bridgland Where the dysfunction lies Richard Hardwick ‘Hardy’ Bridgland was born on October 21, 1933, the youngest member of the Bridgland family of seven children. Hardy’s parents G Dudley Bridgland and Ella Smith were married September 1919 after Dudley returned from WW1 and purchased the furniture business established 1908 with his parents. Hardy grew up with opportunity to assist in the furniture manufacturing factory while attending Mullumbimby Primary School and then Hurlstone Agricultural College in Sydney. When he quickly realised that farming was not in his future, he returned and quickly became part of the family business that had now expanded to include floor covering, blinds curtaining and electrical, furniture accessories, floor sanding and polishing, and repairing furniture. Hardy’s career flourished as he could turn his hand to any kind of project and was invaluable in all the departments of the store, eventually becoming the manager of the floor covering section where he excelled with a passion to serve the Mullumbimby community and beyond. In 1961 he married Valerie Parker and started his family, having three daughters:

David Lovejoy

Carolyn, Leanne Maree, and Marion Adele. His family recall Hardy’s strong faith as a Christian and member of the Mullumbimby Baptist church. They recall lovingly the many happy memories of their life, fishing on the Brunswick River in the family boat and horse riding the children. Hardy had a practical hardworking work ethic but always enjoyed mechanical things – especially looking after his cars, including spray painting and sometimes almost rebuilding them, which carried on to fixing cars for his grandchildren, especially Faran who found he has the same love of cars with many hours spent together in the workshop. ‘Dad always went out of his

way helping out many other people,’ says daughter Carolyn. ‘This was very evident when he opened a curtain and blind business from the family home at 77 Station Street which we inherited after his mother passed away in 1991. He enjoyed many years of serving the community through this business and making beautiful curtains for many happy customers. Hardy passed away on July 22 this year. He loved all his children and grandchildren and made himself available to all at times of joy or crisis. He is fondly remembered by Carolyn’s children, Faran, Leilani, and Amanda. Leanne’s children, Andre, Ella, Matthew, Peter and Clarissa.

‘We really need to start thinking about putting these people [Green councillors] out and getting the place up and running with roads that you can actually drive on and footpaths that you can walk on without breaking your foot. The gardens and roundabouts in the Shire are a disgrace.’ That’s a quotation from a recent unpublished letter to the editor. The writer’s anger is understandable, even if it is lamentably uninformed. Yes, the roads, footpaths, gardens and roundabouts are a disgrace. Come on, Byron Shire councillors, why have you not simply ordered that these things be fixed? It must be a plot by the four (minority) Green councillors. The sad fact about local government, as shown in Cr Tom Tabart’s article last week, is that it is the staff, not councillors, who do the governing. In theory the Council makes the policy and members of staff carry it out, but that theory has not corresponded to reality for some time. Very little of importance in local government can be put down to our elected representatives. This is obvious in the area of planning, where the minister now makes decisions

on coastal developments under the notorious ‘Part 3A’ legislation, and the ‘Joint Regional Planning Panels’ made up of a majority of state government appointees decide just about everything else of significant size. The JRPPs were only set up last year, so it is too early to tell if they will operate with integrity. However, the jury is very suspicious in the case of Part 3A decisions taken away from local councils and made by the state government planning department: too many approvals have ‘coincidentally’ followed donations to the ruling NSW Labor Party. If these changes are designed to emasculate planning law in favour of big developers, further amendments to the Local Government Act seem intended to prevent very much being said or done about it. Many people are unaware that elected councillors are not allowed to publicly criticise council staff. That bears repeating: your councillors may have serious and well-founded criticisms of the conduct of council staff, and they may have made numerous complaints through official channels for investigation, but if the bureaucrats decide to stonewall them, councillors cannot publicly

air their concerns. If Council management does not deliver timely or accurate reports to councillors, if Council resources are used without proper supervision, if any criticism of staff is met with allegations of harassment followed by taking stress leave, if chronic managerial incompetence renders ineffective the best efforts of Council workers, and if the roads and footpaths remain unrepaired – well, like our letter writer you can blame the councillors even though they have no power to remedy the situation. After all the councillors cannot blame the staff. The situation is as bad as at any time since the midnineties when a general manager was in effect sacked by the councillors. That act took gumption, but under the new dispensation it is unlikely to be repeated. What is more likely is a state Liberal government next year deeming Byron Shire dysfunctional and bringing in an administrator. However, the dysfunction will not be sheeted home to the chronic mismanagement that has plagued the administration for two decades; it will be the elected Council that will be sacked. Our letter writer will be pleased.

Swimming back from the future to save themselves Story & photo Mary Gardner

Today is midsummer 2032. Every year, for the past fifteen years, I dive at this beach to see the fish again. Back in midsummer 2017, I was only sixteen. I was snorkeling over the Tassie II, a submerged shipwreck off the Main Beach at Byron Bay Marine Park. I saw three very unusual fish, about 40cm in length. I knew then that the fish looked odd, but I wasn’t sure why. Now I know that they most resemble a sea trout. But though these were once common to European and Asian waters, they were not usually seen in Australia. The fish acted odd, too. They swam tightly together. They went in and out of a gap in the hull. They seemed to be exploring the shallow waters around the wreck but not swimming out further. And they all had a strange tag on one of their fins. Each one was round and iridescent, more like a stud pearl earring. Even odder was that while I was watching the fish, one of these tags popped off. It was easy for me to swim down and pick it up from the sandy sea floor. I took photos and used the GPS feature to get a fix on the location too. I took the photos and the tag

to our local community marine centre. The staff was quick to search online databanks but couldn’t find an exact match. They thought the tag was an artificial pearl. But as it dried, it cracked apart. Embedded inside was a tiny smart card with a very advanced feature. It had a biometric fingerprint reader for security. When my little finger touched the card, it came loose. My fingerprint was needed every single time

to ‘allow’ a computer to read more data on the card. So I ended up an integral part of the investigations. As it turned out, the data identified the fish as time travellers from 2098. The word spread quickly over the internet. In a day after the announcement we heard from a physicist Ronald Mallet in Switzerland. Only two weeks before, he predicted that a visit from the future was possible.

His team had just turned on the world’s first time machine. His earlier work, published in 2003, suggested there could be no contact from the future until such time that our own device was activated. Professor Mallet said that ‘we expected we would only receive a radio signal. We always thought any time travellers we eventually had would be humans, not tagged fish. Somehow, our descendants

beam back to us three complete living animals as well as this data card.’ In the data were film clips. Each five minute movie was about a transparent swimming fish. The flesh of its active body shone with coordinated intricate patterns like moving rainbows. Again, posting these on the internet, it only took a few days to solve the mystery. ‘We are looking at the dance of life,’ said biologist Dr Mae Wan Ho. ‘These are visual displays of a live fish. A camera of the future is “seeing” a living being from the molecular level right up to that of the organism. ‘All the proteins of the fish, the water in its cells, the tissues, the organs, and the whole fish – all are integrated. All “dance” in a dynamic liquid crystalline state. This is “quantum coherence”.’ Dr Ho was thrilled. She first filmed this phenomenon in 1993. But all she had then was a polarising light microscope. She could only view live fruit fly larvae, about half a centimetre in length. Now we had plans how to build these ‘wholistic cameras’. This led to a new ‘biology of qualities’. Comparing current ‘rainbow films’ with the originals helps us ‘picture’ the metabolism of our three future

fish. We could ‘see’ their state of health. Following instructions from the future, Dr Ho made all the information freely available on the internet. Building and using these cameras quickly became important in many ways around the world. These days, as a researcher myself, I use ‘rainbow’ images to figure out the sex of different fish. In some species, the male and female look the same. In others, fish change sex depending on their age or size. My team can do this without having to kill, dissect or otherwise disturb the animals. We can also predict when they will spawn. Knowing this has helped with the recovery of many fish populations which, in the 2030s, were on the brink of collapse. As I swim, I see the fish from the future are still near the wreck. They’ve grown but they don’t ever spawn. The other pearl tags fell off long ago. These proved to contain back up copies. Over the years, I’ve heard many different explanations about what’s happened here. One makes the most sense to me. Just when we most needed critical information to make a change for the better, we received a time travel drop box.

Wave-sharing with whales gives Howie his purpose Story & photo Victoria Cosford

It is called Operation No Compromise and it is considered the most dangerous Sea Shepherd trip of them all. Howie Cooke on a golden, tranquil afternoon from his base in South Golden Beach is quoting Paul Watson, founder of the environmental organisation on the brink of heading to the Antarctic in a bid to obstruct Japanese whalers. By the time this story appears, Howie will have been on the Steve Irwin for about three weeks, deep in the heart of terror territory. Loose shirt, board shorts and shock of floppy hair, Howie hardly conjures up the vision of the impassioned activist he has been for about 35 years. There’s an eternal boyishness about him and an indefatigable energy in the way he leaps, both physically and verbally, around the cluttered, cosy chaos of the space he calls home. In fact he describes himself as largely itinerant, having spent the last ten years travelling constantly on international whaling commissions – which perhaps forgives the cluttered confusion which constitutes the ground floor of a two-storey wooden house he shares with an upstairs musician. Quiet cul-de-sac

and bushland setting outside, within we are sitting (Howie intermittently) on mismatched chairs surrounded by artworks and clothing, papers and posters, a bed doubling as a work bench. New Zealand-born Howie started out in the 70s ‘wandering across the Pacific’, sailing, working as a trawler-man and fisherman. It was during that

period that he experienced a sort of epiphany about whales and dolphins which inspired him to take up painting large canvases depicting them – and which ultimately led him to start making a stand for marine conservation. He gave talks at schools and lectures at universities, he illustrated children’s books. Art has been the constant thread

He started running campaigns in Bondi in the 90s, ridding the beaches of cigarette butts – a campaign he transported to Byron Bay in 1996. Around 2004 he joined forces with professional surfer Dave Rastovic to form Surfers For Cetaceans (S4C), a volunteer non-profit group whose idea was to mobilise surfers and the surf media against the slaughter of whales and dolphins. ‘Our global surfing culture has such an intimate human and cetacean relationship,’ says the website. ‘We share the interspecies bond of riding waves for the sheer joy of it.’ Howie simply says that they all share the waves – before adding that ‘as Dave always says, dolphins

are the original surfers!’ He is a veritable font of sayings, all original, Howie Cooke, self-generated truisms, such as ‘we live on planet ocean – the greatest people living on the planet are the cetaceans, an ancient and noble race’; or ‘People are drawn to the coast and see themselves as living on the edge of the land. Surfers are drawn to the waves and see themselves as living at the edge of the sea.’ Aligning themselves with Sea Shepherd meant that S4C were able to acquire an even greater authority, and power in numbers. Sea Shepherd itself was spawned from the organisation Earth Force Society formed in 1977 after its founder, Paul Watson, was ousted from the board of Greenpeace for disagreements over his direct action activism which clashed with their pacifist ethos. Wat-

son left Greenpeace and with funding established his first vessel, the Sea Shepherd, whose mission was intervention and obstruction of whalers, direct actions to protect marine wildlife. And now the organisation has sent three ships on the most dangerous mission of them all. Howie’s role – apart from having adorned the murals of the Steve Irwin – is ‘ship’s artist and deckie’. Three boats, a crew of 89, 17 nationalities – and ‘it’s egalitarian,’ Howie assures me, ‘there are lots of women on board... Killing whales is the biggest act of misogyny,’ he continues, ‘to the biggest female. Back in the 70s we thought it would all be over by now... but it’s still happening.’ Howie keeps thinking of things he should be telling me: everything is interesting and important, and his enthusiasm is infectious. We wheel out into the sunshine so I can take photos of him against one of his glorious, vibrant whale murals, the likes of which he has been painting all over the world – on sides of mountains, school walls, municipal buildings in Portugal and Vietnam and Chile and Morocco. He tells me that he has just returned from a speaking tour with Paul Watson in Melbourne, where they were invited as VIPs to, of all things, a Metallica concert. ‘I suspect,’ he confides, ‘it was because they see Paul as the heavy metaller of marine conservation.’ Even as I climb into the car Howie is remembering to tell me about his painting – how he is exhibiting overseas more, in London and Portugal and Tahiti. ‘I’m fitting my artwork in between my whale missions,’ exclaims this extraordinary man.

Saving the planet with coffee coloured rainbow babies Story & photo Eve Jeffery

I remember when I was about 12 walking to the shops with my nana. She stopped along the street to gossip with a neighbour who began a rant about how the Chinese were going to invade the country. On and on she rambled and my nana just stood there blank-faced waiting for the tirade to end. I was getting a bit nervous because I knew something that the neighbour didn’t. When she finished her little racist speech, nana looked at her straight in the eye and said, ‘Well when those Chinese invade I’ll be right because I am one of them.’ She turned her back, walked away and said no more. The moment made a massive impact on me. The older my nana got, the more Chinese she looked. Beautiful. She often recounted a story of her grandfather ‘Tommy’ Ah Poy Wong, a full blood Chinese who, unusually tall for the people, cut a fine figure in a suit and hat. In his retirement, he would often stroll the streets of Wangaratta as any gentlemen would in the early 1900s. Nana told me that he warned his grandchildren not to acknowledge him in the street. ‘If I walk past the school, don’t run to the fence,’ he would say. ‘Don’t wave. You don’t want people to know we are related.’ Not wave to her grandpa? I cherished my nana. I couldn’t imagine not waving to her as she walked by. I didn’t understand what she was trying to tell me. This was long before I witnessed the neighbour slagging Asians. My daughters have a skin tone that defies definition. They look vaguely GreekIndiany-Spanish-Thai-IrishyAboriginal. Everyone has to be nice to them because no-one

Multinational parents celebrate with a cappucino and a latte with their coffee coloured rainbow babies Jali de Souza Pietramale, Wyana Baker and Wyana de Souza Pietramale.

is really sure where they are from, so people are careful about what they say. I love it! Their heritage includes genes from pools and puddles in England, Ireland, Scotland, China and quite possibly ancient Australia (though that branch of the family tree has bleached history so we can’t be sure. Fortunately the bleaching has been reversed by my Cantonese great, great grandperson). My Coffee Coloured Rainbow Babies will eventually create a rich blend with other coffee coloured babies and save the world. I can’t wait because human history sucks. I grew up in Wogville. I am allowed to say wog as I am a

Melburnian and they (the wogs that is) were cleverly one of the first ethnic groups of the world to reappropriate a previously derogatory term and reclaim the name as a term of endearment. Acropolis Now and Wogs Out Of Work, Kuhlassick Maaayte! I reckon 70 per cent of the folk I grew up with were wogs: Italians, Greeks, Lebanese, Yugoslavs – this was before they became Serbs v Croats – Albanians, Chileans, Lithuanians, Romani, Maltese, Maltese and Maltese (that lot breed like rabbits).There were also Chinese, Japanese, Ceylonese who morphed into Sri Lankans, Indians, more

Greeks, Irish, English, Welsh, Scots, a few Queenslanders and a Darwinian. In primary school I don’t remember there ever being race based fights. We all knew we were different from each other but that had more to do with gender, unpronounceable surnames and lunchbox contents, not skin colour. You wouldn’t dare make a racist comment. Firstly it wouldn’t occur to you and if it ever did, you would know there was probably more of them than you. You were more careful with what you said. By the late 70s, everyone was half something and you would be taking racist potshots if you picked on anyone, so it

was better to just not, so we had it ingrained to just not be bigoted. Besides, there was all that great food. Anyone who has met me can tell by the size of my butt that I learned to eat in Melbourne. When I ventured into the big wide world, I often had people say to me that they knew I was from Melbourne because I was so friendly – this was before I became a bitch – and in some Gold Coast clubs in the 90s, Melbourne girls got in free for just that reason. I don’t believe we were more friendly, just less nasty. We had learned from childhood to be nice to everyone no matter their background.

Australia is now turning into a big Melbourne as we are yearly producing more and more beautiful Coffee Coloured Rainbow Babies and it is these children of many colours who will eventually save the planet Melbourne style. This will happen on many levels. It is well known that a mongrel will generally be healthier than a pedigree. It’s a fact and we should make it a law. Let’s get rid of all pedigree even if only in title. Health issues will not have a chance to take hold if the prototype is constantly changing. I have several genetic defects that I am hoping upon hope have been bred out of my whitened-in-name-but-notnature offspring. If we mix it up, we will produce a stronger race of humans. So suck on that all you Aryan Nazi bastards! On another level, if we have to be nicer to everyone in case we offend them, then ‘we have to be nicer to everyone in case we offend them’. Get it? Imagine that. Imagine all the people. Living life in peace (thanx John). A French woman I know and her Aboriginal partner are pregnant with their second ‘chocolate frog’ – her terminology, not mine. The first child is a beautiful and perfect Coffee Coloured Rainbow Baby. Once blood lines get a little darker and a little lighter, then a little browner, a blob of blonder, a splash of ranga and a bit of indigo, we will eventually have a large selection of Coffee Coloured Rainbow Humans ranging from long black, through machiatto, latte and baby cino – everyone will have to be less nasty at least, as no one will have a separate racial history. We will all be related somewhere back along the line, as we were when when we fell from grace and the trees, and the world will be a much better place. So there!

A levitation in Egypt to usher in the new year John Campbell

We got off the train from Edfu and checked into the AbuShelib Hotel, Aswan, on December 31. Sometime last century, the tariff was 50 Egyptian pounds ($11.25 Aus). Mr Badri jigged the skeleton key this way and that, threw himself bodily against the jammed door and ushered us into room fifteen with muskscented aplomb. Having gained access without breaking his shoulder, he was doubly pleased when the light went on instantaneously as he hit the switch. ‘Hot water, boss’, he explained, demonstrating the workings of the bathroom tap, from which scalding water spurted like bullets. Nearby, the toilet. We hoped for the best. ‘Toilette!’ Mr Badri approached it with a swagger. His hubris imploded upon lifting the lid. Floating in glistening majesty were a pair of conical number-twos, bequeathed to us by the previous lodger. An awkward silence. Jannali Girl sighed with resignation, but I couldn’t help feeling sorry for Mr Badri – the poor fellow had been on such a roll. Showing heroic sangfroid, he hastily pulled the overhead

chain and, to everybody’s immense relief, the offending turds vanished in a noisy torrent. ‘Excellent!’ Mr Badri beamed, on top of his game again. Our amiable host then advised that, should we need to change money, which we did, his cousin would offer a higher rate for our dollars than the local Amex agency. The cousin’s name was Tony and we performed the transaction while a street kid polished my shoes, absorbing our furtive commerce as part of his higher education. Tony, polite as any goldtoothed spiv who’s just made a shady profit, was eager to do further business. ‘You want to buy shit? From Kenya. Best quality.’ At fifty piastres per gram it was tempting, but Midnight Express had long since put the kibosh on such deals. ‘No thanks, mate.’ ‘I am always here,’ Tony said, with a calculated intimacy that no longer milked my bourgeois sensibilities. We shook hands and snuck away, counting our notes. New Year’s Eve passed uneventfully and on January 1 Jannali Girl and I set out on our journey across Lake Nasser to the great temple of

Ramses II at Abu Simbel. The ferry was two-tiered, flat-hulled and open-plan (ie, there were no cabins). Its contingent of Westerners comprised a rabble of busty Swedes and their ice-eyed partners, a couple of effete Italian groovers with bossy girlfriends and a gay Maori travelling with his Californian buddy.

An airless death trap of flammable oils and gas cylinders was the domain of a maggoty, chain-smoking cook who occupied himself by wringing chooks’ necks, while, next to the galley, the vessel’s sloshing dunny immediately inspired in me three days of self-induced constipation. That night, bodies wrapped

in sleeping bags and motheaten blankets provided by the shipping company were strewn over the deck, huddled against the icy desert wind that whipped across the lake. Below were cargo and camels bound for the Sudan, fellahin and Nubians slumbering in hoary African fecundity. The morning dawned cloudless and bright, as it always does in Egypt. We hoed into a breakfast of fuls medames, bread and sweet black tea, then got our first glimpse of the temple. An hour distant, the seated figures of the God/ King gazed at us from the horizon, like shy school children at their lessons. We spent the afternoon in Ramses’s company. The silver winter sun, the stillness of antiquity, the severance from reality was overwhelming. On the return trip, an old blind man in a grubby blue robe and wearing the Hajji’s white skull cap appeared in our midst. Unannounced and unaccompanied, he summoned into his circle those travelers from the south who had recently piled on board. In accordance with his command, a young conscript stepped forward – a handsome boy with the rare skill among Egyptian soldiers of knowing

how to button his fly. The old bloke sat him on a stool and ran ghostly fingers through his curly jet hair as he stomped a tattoo on the floor with his withered foot. He soon had a call-and-response going with the onlookers, who moved to its rhythm with feline grace. The chant intensified as it was repeated over and over. The deck wobbled. All was black, but for the moonglow on the lake. Suddenly, with a bloodcurdling wail, the blind man withdrew his hands, as if convulsed. The singing ceased … and the conscript, in a trance, floated into the air … Nobody said much the next morning. We made land and crammed into a cab with the Italians. Inhibited by doubt, we dared not mention what we had witnessed – or hadn’t – the previous night. But it was on all our minds. The spell was broken when Video Killed the Radio Star crackled out of the driver’s transistor. We were all singing it when the cab pulled up at the Abu-Shelib (I will forever associate the song with Egypt). ‘Ramses excellent, boss?’ ‘Awesome, Mr Badri.’ I counted my blessings. As I always do at this time of year.

Books seen as doorways, poems tickets, quotes robes Michael McDonald

Reading brings on an altered state – well, perhaps not all reading, certainly not council documents – and it’s still legal. Reading shapes character, as Rudyard Kipling well knew: ‘He wrapped himself in quotations – as a beggar would enfold himself in the purple of Emperors.’ Kipling – ‘Do you like Kipling?’ ‘I don’t know, I’ve never tried’ – was among the first to turn me on to altered states. The espionage adventures of The Great Game in Kim, the otherworld of Puck Of Pook’s Hill, the enchanted animals of Just So Stories – who can forget the ‘great greygreen, greasy Limpopo River, all set about with fever-trees’? – and The Jungle Book. Those who regard Kipling as just an imperialist have missed the point, have not seen him turning the key into the maze of the human psyche. Instead of bringing home toys, my father brought home books, and I was hooked from an early age, once I made the

earth-shattering discovery that letters of the alphabet could be arranged to create words. Dad, a teacher, was himself a keen reader and had a remarkable memory. Any flimsy excuse would see him reel off Mark Antony’s speech from Julius Caesar at the dinner table: I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him; The evil that men do lives after them, The good is oft interred with their bones …

It was decades later that I began to understand the speech’s political subtlety. And in the more emotioncharged moments Tennyson would ride forth from Dad’s brain: A bow-shot from her bowereaves, He rode between the barley sheaves, The sun came dazzling thro’ the leaves, And flamed upon the brazen greaves Of bold Sir Lancelot.

Blind Pew sweeps the ground for dog turds.

Kipling was followed by the piratey adventures – arrr! – of Treasure Island and the picaresque of The Magic Pudding, Norman Lindsay’s finest achievement, more gripping

than any of his pneumatic nudes, though they were to be found in the bookcase when the chief caregivers were at a party. Picaresque is a recurring drug in my reading career

from Cervantes’ Don Quixote – albeit in translation and as ‘retold’ by Pierre Menard (see Borges) – to Twain’s Huckleberry Finn and Pynchon’s V. The character of adolescence and early adulthood had its own texts – all of Hesse’s oeuvre, the highly-pitched revelations of Be Here Now, the more accurate character sketches of Catcher In The Rye – was Salinger tuned into 16-year-old boys or what? The cerebral and sensual world of Nabokov, especially Ada and Transparent Things – I still have his books I bought in the late 60s and early 70s, along with Borges’s A Universal History Of Infamy. And for the adolescent tripper, Huxley’s The Doors Of Perception and Heaven And Hell. Huxley was a far more accurate reporter on the Elysian Fields than Timothy Leary, and his prose style is as crisp as a freshly-ironed collar. Inspired by the likes of Huxley and their own trips, the science fiction writers asked ‘what if?’ and then described it. In

text only rivalled by Barbara Cartland’s vomitous output. The poets are there, too – Li Po and Tu Fu (now assigned different names, I believe), Tennyson of course, Donne, the marvellous Marvell, and modern Australian poets such as Nigel Roberts remarking on a missing deity: maybe yr in Nimbin maybe yr walking/ nicotine desperate/ up the road & perhaps yr going to be back in five minutes

There’s lots I haven’t covered – Mary Shelley, Arthur Conan Doyle, Gabriel Josipovici’s magisterial book on reading, The World And The Book. In the words of book lover David Bowie: ‘My brain hurt like a warehouse/ It had no room to spare/ I had to cram so many things/ To store everything in there’. But every book among them represents time well spent, and now I am in semi-retirement I might like W B Yeats’s lover

Moral truth needs science, not revelation David Lovejoy

In the debate between religion and atheism there used to be a position of truce if the argument got too hot. You know the formula: science deals with observable facts, religion deals with values, and these are two quite separate human concerns so we can agree to disagree. The scientist Stephen Jay Gould even came up with a flash-sounding phrase – ‘nonoverlapping magisteria’ – to describe the truce as if it were final and irrevocable. Sam Harris with his book The Moral Landscape – How Science Can Determine Human Values wants to prise us out of that bolthole and face the fact that we cannot let irrational dogma rule our value system, any more than we would let it define our science. He claims that ‘there are right and wrong answers to moral questions, just as there are right and wrong answers to questions of physics, and such answers may one day fall within reach of the maturing sciences of mind.’ If Harris is right, this is a paradigm-changing insight. Over the next hundred years it could mean the difference between our survival or selfdestruction as a species. We all know the moral-relativity trap: our values are not derived from absolutes so how can we import them across cultures? How can we condemn, for example, the Taliban’s destruction of Buddhist statues? It may have some cultural legitimacy within the context of Afghan society. In judging are we not just perpetuating colonial interference? Take a more severe example. The mere sight of women sometimes leads men to impure thoughts. Rather than acknowledge, control or channel

Author Sam Harris makes a point.

that energy acceptably, why not make sure all women outside your immediate family are draped head to foot and hidden from view? And since women also have natural desires, let’s mutilate their genitals to decrease the chances of them straying. If you can argue away the destruction of the Bamiyan statues, there’s a possibility you might also ‘contextualise’ the treatment of women by Islamic extremists. On what ground do we stand when we condemn, as most civilised people do, the misogyny and sexual deviance institutionalised in the Catholic church? Although when each new example is brought to light, church authorities wring their hands and proclaim their horror, the head of the organisation still protects the sadists and pederasts in its ranks and still forbids contraception, condemning Catholic women to shame and hypocrisy in richer countries and in poorer ones to enervating fecundity and death by AIDS. Incidentally, if accumulating evidence of the corruption of the church appeals to you, Harris has ma-

terial in his end notes which is as depressingly illuminating as anything to be found in Dawkins or Hitchens. Our reactions to the monsters of depravity who haunt the Taliban and the Vatican are often instinctive, often – ironically – reducible to hunches like ‘Jesus wouldn’t do that.’ What Harris provides are moral arguments which don’t depend on religious absolutes, and yet which also don’t allow us to slide into an ineffective moral-relativism.

Intolerance tolerated The tentativeness with which most well-meaning liberal people hold their positions and their willingness to be tolerant in the face of irrational and aggressive fundamentalism are factors in the failure to curb social crises in the USA and Europe. In North America it is Christianity, in Europe it is Islam, but both religions demand the right to special privileges, and on both continents liberals struggle to confront the destruction of secular values. One of the main obstacles to the understanding of morality

from a scientific viewpoint is the belief that because all moral facts are drawn from subjective experience, all talk of morality must also be ‘merely’ subjective. But the sum of our subjectivities is significant, when we seek objective causes of human wellbeing. What Harris says is that ‘given there are facts – real facts – to be known about how conscious creatures can experience the worst possible misery and the greatest possible wellbeing, it is objectively true to say that there are right and wrong answers to moral questions, whether or not we can always answer these questions in practice.’ Harris argues that while scientists, academics and journalists believe that there is no such thing as moral truth – but only moral preferences, moral opinion and emotional reactions – authoritarian belief systems of both East and West will continue to fill the vacuum. Without a scientific understanding of the moral landscape the future will be lunatics shouting in our faces, for ever. What sort of case does he make for the scientific basis of moral truth? Harris is a neuroscientist by trade and his illustrations of the connections between types of behaviour and types of brain signals are interesting. But in the end it is not brain research upon which his argument relies, but oldfashioned philosophy. We already have abundant evidence about the moral landscape; what is needed is a ‘belief that morality is a genuine sphere of human inquiry, and not a mere product of culture.’ For every Sam Harris in the world there are a hundred Archbishop Pells, so I am not sure that optimism about the future is completely justified. But I am a lot happier about it since I read this book.

and coastal environment.’ While Byron Bay has some of the most pristine waters on the globe, the increasing amount of marine debris on Australian beaches and in the oceans has been ringing alarm bells with scientists and marine wildlife organisations such as Australian Seabird Rescue (ASR) for many years. ‘Recent research, sadly, indicates that there is now a greater concentration of plastic particles in the sea surface layer than plankton,’ said ASR General Manager Rochelle Ferris. ‘And plankton is one of the most vital resources in the marine food chain.’

In the last 50 years the advent of plastic and other technologies, together with an unprecedented growth in global population, has led humans to generate an incomprehensible amount of rubbish. People are encouraged to buy, then discard – generally unaware that the ‘rubbish’ contains a vital part of the earth’s resources in a form that can never again be used, and one that is often toxic to the environment and wildlife. The coal, oil, water or other resources used in making every consumer or industrial item are not renewable resources: they were created over Many sources The origin of plastic debris four billion incredible years of in the oceans includes both the earth’s evolution. land-based sources such as Fatal tipping point litter, sewers and landfill, and Terrestrial earth groans un- marine sources such as comder the weight of human af- mercial and recreational fishfluence and effluents but the ing, merchant, military and oceans are at even greater risk. offshore exploration vessels. ‘Plastic debris, which inSlow to react to increasing toxicity, primarily because of cludes things like abandoned their enormous capacity for fishing tackle and balloon remabsorption and their vast size, nants, poses one of the greatest the world’s oceans are teetering threats to marine wildlife such on the edge of a fatal tipping as turtles, seabirds, shorebirds, point.

on their ability to survive in an already challenging environment. ‘Plastic ingestion can cause gut impaction or perforation, toxicity and death by starvation,’ Ms Ferris said. ‘It’s believed to be responsible for the death of hundreds of thousands of marine animals every year.’ ‘If ingestion of plastic does not kill an animal outright, sub-lethal effects such as immune and reproductive dysfunction or decreased feeding and nutrient assimilation rates will greatly inhibit the animal’s chance of survival’ said Ms Ferris. Marine animals can also become entangled in plastic debris such as abandoned fishing nets, fishing line, packing tape, six-pack rings, plastic streamers, bottle top rings and endless other types of plastic.

Reduce your impact The most effective means of reducing the impact of plastic debris on marine wildlife is to reduce the amount of plastic that is used and the amount of litter. Saying no to plastic bags is just the beginning. ‘Everyone can make a difference,’ said Ms Ferris. ‘More people visiting in the region doesn’t have to mean more rubbish. ‘Really, the marine environment and marine wildlife depend on it. We need to kill plastic, not wildlife.’ To report sick or injured marine wildlife call ASR’s rescue hotline on 0428 862 852.

Crystal Castle - more enchanting than ever “This is perhaps the most tranquil tourist attraction on the east coast and a wonderful place to spend a couple of mellow hours.” BRISBANE NEWS

A year of Blessings It has been an extraordinary year for the Crystal Castle: a year, quite literally, of many blessings. We have been hosts to several groups of Buddhist Monks and the many and varied ceremonies, rituals and meditations that have been carried out in the Castle’s grounds have had a profound and beautiful effect on the feeling of the place. Always tranquil yet inspiring, the Castle now resonates with an even deeper peace after the countless hours of chanting and prayers; dedicated spiritual practice from one of the most ancient traditions of the world.

The Gyuto Monks who spent three weeks here this year are such joyful and heartfelt people. Not surprising that they were drawn to our Fountain of Peace made from the heart stone. This massive turning sphere of rose quartz became a focal point for their practice. The most recent blessings occurred at the consecration of the ground for the Kalachakra World Peace Stupa that is to be built in the coming year. This rare sacred monument will be only the seventh of its kind to be built in the world and the very ¿UVW LQ $XVWUDOLD ,W LV VXFK DQ H[FLWLQJ project to which the Dalai Lama himself gave his blessings when the Castle owners visited him this year in India. Currently on display in the Discovery Room is a one metre high replica of this World Peace Stupa. This was created by the monks out of yak butter and took nine days to complete. “This Stupa is very important for Byron Bay, the whole of Australia and for world peace.” Gen Lama, Gyuto Elder.

Gyuto Monks recently spent nine days making a yak butter model of the World Peace Stupa to be built at the Crystal Castle, now on display.

Evacuated tubes vs flat plates – which are more efficient? Evacuated tubes are not only more efficient, but also more durable and cheaper to repair should there be accidental damage as you can replace individual tubes. The following figures demonstrate efficiencies of collectors when heating water from ambient temperature to 75 degrees C. Efficiency testing was performed at the National Solar Test Facility in Canada. Winter: Based upon solar insolation of 426W/ m2 and an ambient temperature of 13.1 degrees C in Sydney, the evacuated tubes are on average 104 per cent more efficient per m2 of aperture compared with the flat plate solar collector. Summer: Based upon solar insolation of 840W/m2 and an ambient temperature of 21.3 degrees C in Sydney, the evacuated tubes are on average 50.5 per cent more efficient per m2 of aperture compared with the flat plate solar collector. While evacuated tube technology may be more of an investment, the benefits certainly seem to outweigh the cost! Phone 6686 8887.

Permaforest Eco-Forestry Would you like to enjoy the beneďŹ ts of primary production? Is your intention to restore the environmental integrity of your rural propery? Would you like to take advantage of primary production taxation beneďŹ ts? Eco-forestry can help you acheive all three objectives. Ecological forestry is the practice of restoring, enhancing and maintaining all the important values of a forest ecosystem while providing a long term sustainable yield. You can convert your

So here is the plan. Around about 6 o’clock on Christmas morning, forget briey that you are now a grown-up, and start eating chocolate. That should carry you through to breakfast time when someone else, not you, will be serving up generous plates of fried eggs and thick slices of hamoff-the-bone sizzled in lots of butter, with toast on the side.

Celebrating its 13th birthday this month, the Byron Visitor Centre, located in the old Stationmaster’s cottage behind the main bus stop in Byron Bay, receives over a quarter of a million enquiries a year. Being central to good tourism management, Visitor Information Centres (VICs) have been shown to encourage visitors to stay longer and spend more. This translates to thousands of bookings and referrals that local businesses may not otherwise receive.

An Austen Tayshus New Year LOCK UP YOUR PRECONCEPTIONS – PROVOCATEUR AND COMEDIAN AUSTEN TAYSHUS IS BACK IN TOWN. SEVEN FOUND OUT JUST WHAT MAKES THIS HIGHLY CONTROVERSIAL COMEDIAN TICK. How would you describe yourself as a comedian? My comedy has evolved from a prepared script into an organic, improvised, free-wheeling enterprise. It is confrontational, provocative and startling. The intention essentially is to create an atmosphere of artistic unpredictability. Sometimes it fails, quite often it flies. It leaves many audiences dumbfounded, which is the main reason why I am always on the verge of bankruptcy. My wife ran away too. Hey but who can blame her. Stand-up is a solitary life. Man/woman, microphone, light. Sometimes no light. Does that match how you describe yourself as a man? My life has always imitated my art. What are the most important values that you have that you want to pass on to your kids? Never give up. Never go to an Oprah Winfrey love fest. People either love you or hate you. Do you know why? I am an extremist. People want to be left in peace. Whistle blowers, Julian Assange for example, polarise opinions. But it’s still the best game in town. It’s easy to be loved, how do you cope with being ‘disliked’? I am alone, but never lonely. Curiousity is my best friend. And my daughters. Are people vocal about how they feel about you in public arenas, meaning when the gig is over? People rarely tell you the truth. Most often they want to take photos on their redundant mobile phones. I don’t mind. Sometimes I get hit. But that’s the world. What political or social issues do you think are the most important ones that we face? Poverty is the main issue. Everything seems to be about those

who have and those who haven’t. The rich need to give away their cash.Especially to me. Swanee’s move against the big banks was encouraging, but doesn’t go far enough. The biggest social challenge Australia faces is how to get rid of Peter Garret and QUICK! Why are you so fascinated with the construction of Australian identity? This is where I reside. The satirist’s job is to hold a mirror up to his culture, to expose the ugliness and to help remodel the future. It is constructive to the extreme. John Howard represented all that is wrong with Australia.The Big Picture Point Of View is what we need. A modern approach. His xenophobia and conservativism did Australia a lot of damage. We need to open the country to talented, skilled individuals from everywhere. We need to encourage tolerance, religious diversity and give driver licences to 12-year-olds who drink! Do you consider yourself to be ‘Australian’ within that cultural context? I am Australian. I believe in Education, and I love democracy. As a Jew I feel quite free in this country to be a Jew. I have experienced anti-semitism from time to time and this disgusts me. Why does my daughters’ school seem like a jail? The security is so out of control, because Jews need to be vigilant even in Australia. What’s your take on Julia Gillard? I know her brother, Julio, and he has a Mexican accent. He’s trying to help her get one. Like Paul Keating I think she’s getting a handle on things. But when is she going to get rid of Peter Garret. Why do you do comedy about the Pope? Is it just to upset Catholics? This Pope is an ex-Nazi. He protects

Are we educated enough to get satire? Well that is the problem. The world seems to be getting dumber. The hysteria surrounding the ‘Soap-Oprah Tour’ was ridiculous. She is essentially an infomercial presenter with too much power. Good for tourism, yes. Bad for everything else. Education for all is a priority! What scares you? Being Dead. What would you change about yourself if you had the opportunity? I would get a nose job. Double the size. In the perfect world of endless possibilities, would you still be a comic... or what? I have no regrets. I love my life. I love life. I am so lucky to be doing exactly what I love. Like Eric Roozendaal! Mr Tayshus performs at the Byron Services Club on Monday January 3 at 8pm. He is joined by support act Paul McMahon and MC Mandy Nolan. Tickets are $15/20 and can be bought directly at the club or booked on 6684 3443.

paedophiles. He has a funny voice. Why not take the piss out of him? Jesus has caused the Jews a lot of problems. So much horror has been perpetrated against us in His name. It needs to stop. The Jewish people are industrious and contribute to society the world over. They help to make this world a better place. Leave us alone please! All the Jews I know, particularly from the generation who suffered through the holocaust, are gentle people, like my beautiful Dad. Catholicism in Europe has blood on its hands and in many other places.

soAP boX Kicking with the Kollective Thundering roots-rock, sun-baked blues and world groove... It’s not everyday that you see a ragtag blond haired blue eyed bloke from Byron Bay woo a Glastonbury crowd with a didgeridoo – but this is only part of the Nathan Kaye experience. You’ll regularly catch him crooning a plethora of humorous socio-political messages alongside a 12-string steel guitar to a jam-packed crowd, chucking in a dash of beat boxing for flavour. NK is a one-man band and a talent packed show that has to be seen to be believed. Trust us, you’ll be better for it. Nathan Kaye Kollective plays on Dec 24 at The Australian Hotel in Ballina.

I heard on the radio that retailers are in a state of panic because people aren’t shopping. A spokesman has come out and declared that people need to spend more. Hello. People are drowning in credit card debt, we are all living well and truly beyond our means... how can we possibly need to spend more? If retailers are going bust due to slow Christmas sales then maybe they need to hit up their greedy landlords and ask them to lower the rent, rather then putting pressure on Joe Average to rack up another few grand on his Amex.

HIPPY CHRISTMAS This year I’m not buying anyone anything. I’m not a tightarse, I love buying people presents. For their birthdays. But Christmas time it’s just ridiculous. I obviously can’t spend $100 on every family member, friend and acquaintance, so I usually have a $20 budget. So it’s wow, a BBQ tong set! Or a box of shortbread for the gluten intolerant or a Santa’s Little Helper G String for my stepdad. It’s just a hoot when he gets pissed and wears it with his Santa hat.

Roots, rock reggae and hip hop outfit Ebb N Flo make their way to the Byron Brewery for a gig on Thursday December 30. The band enjoyed a massive set at the Open Arms Festival and were the hit of The Festival of The Sun at Port Macquarie early December.

Ra Ra Rapskallion For those that love to dance to some captivating gypsy cabaret then you will be blown away by the performance and energy of Rapskallion. It will be a big line-up of some of the finest gypsy, cabaret dance music to hit town in a long time! With fire in their bellies, and confetti in their pockets, Rapskallion have swashbuckled their way back from their European escapades, to seduce you this summer with their own brand of wild junkyard waltzes, take me tangos, rambunctious punk rock polkas and old world romance. Dressed in their tattered tails and decrepit hobo finery, the Skallions are Tom Waits in a torn tutu, singing Edith Piaf songs through a megaphone, backed by the Muppet show band, sailing the high seas on a Spanish galleon. With a treasure chest full of musical instruments, and a flair for the theatrical, Rapskallion have entertained audiences worldwide, with their unique concoction of vaudevillian cabaret dance tunes. At the Byron Brewery January 8, show at 8pm. Tickets are $18 presale and $22 at the door.

Undoubtedly the best festival band in the UK right now, the Orkestra present an amazing set of high energy swinging sounds – Balkan, Oompah, Gypsy flavoured, and delivered with sublime clowning and comedic characters. Orkestra del Sol are regulars on the UK and European Festival circuits having wowed audiences at Glastonbury, the Edinburgh Festival, the EXIT Festival Serbia, Dublin Big Day Out, the Thames Festival London, and Bestival on the Isle of Wight to name a few. Hailing from Scotland, but citing influences from all corners of the globe, Orkestra del Sol take the brass band to a whole new level, evoking the virtuosic wedding bands of Eastern Europe, the suave street bands of the US and the rebellious carnival bands of Latin America. Soaring horn lines, mournful melodies and a dash of New Orleans sass are expertly woven into explosive live performances bursting with anarchic

event like Bluesfest, and we all certainly do it for the love of creating such an amazing event, first and foremost, I like how Bill Haurittz from Woodfordia describes Festival Directors – he calls us ‘cultural activists’. I think that description is something I like to live with.

You put out all these feelers for acts and you just don’t know who’s going to say Peter, it’s a huge coup getting Bob yes, and when it starts coming in the Dylan this year. What does it mean for shape of the festival takes place – this Bluesfest? seems like the year where they’re all With Bob Dylan, Grace Jones, BB King, Elvis saying YES – but what happens as a Costello, Gurrumul and a host of others promoter when you just can’t get your coming in 2011, Bluesfest continues to wishlist? present the truly great artists of the world Every year we say that the best Bluesfest is every Easter in our wonderful home. And the one that does not happen – for every to cement our reputation worldwide as artist you see on a stage – chances are we one of the planet’s great arts and cultural have had a parley with 10 more. But we events, and guess what, we still have always take the position that it’s a little more than half of our artists to announce, like fishing. You need to be patient, and to including some incredible people from all have some good bait, and then you will over the world. hook a monster every now and then, and the one who got away this year might just Why do you think an old bloke with a take the bait in a year or two. So nothing voice like an unoiled door has such an ventured, nothing gained. incredible resonance with the Byron Shire and the broader public? What do Why Grace Jones? (Grace is the latest you think he represents ? addition to the Bluesfest 2011 bill) Bob Dylan represents the conscience of Because she is the funniest, scariest, most the world.

Bluesfest? go on just try... and then when I told my I am not reinventing Bluesfest – just 20-year-old some of them, he apologised going with my feelings with what feels for not knowing who wrote them – as right to present – and remembering two he already knew so many of them.

listen to our citizens with their ears, and not just their minds. Our Mayor continues to do an extremely hard job very well and our creative community who listen to our residents and show respect to them seem to flourish in their endeavours. Why do you think there is sometimes antagonism about large events? How could this be rectified, in your opinion? I believe that we need to listen to our community, take their viewpoints on board, show through good works that their concerns can be answered in the positive, and not try to shove things down their throats. It’s that simple really. What is it about Bluesfest that sets it apart from other music events? Well, we are about presenting a creative environment where artists can create at their highest levels and the public can be the benefactor of that creativity. Sounds like promoter speak, doesn’t it? However, it is the truth. We are also not about being the biggest, but we are definitely about being the best. What are you really looking forward to at Bluesfest next year? Look out, this is a question I could go on about for ages. Try this. Raul Malo – former lead singer of the Mavericks with one of the best voices in the business, kind of Texas, rock, country with more than a little Tex Mex Music thrown in. I just caught his show in the US – he had a line of 40+ women standing in front of the stage swooning. He is seriously good. Funky Meters – The bedrock New Orleans Funk group. Kasey Chambers – it will be over 10 years since Bluesfest first discovered her after hearing her sing with the family band on the steps on the Bruns Pub. We still present her every second year and we never exchange contracts; her word is good enough for me and mine for her. She also comes to Bluesfest as a fan every other year when she is not on the bill. John Legend – just nominated for five Grammys for his new album, Wake Up, this man is a conscious soul music artist. Think Marvin Gaye – really not to be missed. Trinity Rootys – New Zealand’s finest band of the past 10 years on their first ever Australian performance. Just incredible. Their story is one of putting out two independent CD releases in the early part of the last decade; both went platinum in NZ and then they broke up. They have recently got back together and sold out concert halls all over New Zealand; as a part Kiwi, I am proud to present them. It will be one of Bluesfest’s finest moments. And of course there’s Gurrumul, Jethro Tull, Mavis Staples – who has just released in my opinion the album of her career – produced by Jeff Tweedy of Wilco, Blind Boys of Alabama with Aaron Neville – and so many other acts.

SPIRAL TRANSITION, FROM ONE OF THE FILMS IN THE QUEER FRUITS FILM FESTIVAL AT THE STARCOURT THEATRE ON WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 29

Fruits on Film An outstanding program of international queer films will be screened at the Star Court Theatre, Lismore on Wednesday 29thThursday 30th December, the perfect prequel to Tropical Fruits’ New Year’s Eve party.

Their follow up CD, Rasa Lila has just been released. The title refers to the dance of Krishna and his Beloved, which is a metaphor for the dance of life. The CD features 13 new tracks over 70 minutes in a journey of devotion and celebration. Rasa Lila is produced by Kamal Engels in Mullumbimby, whose album recorded with the Gyuto Monks at the same time has just been nominated for a 2011 Grammy Award. The CD features many wonderful local musicians and artists augmenting the unique styles of Subway Bhaktis. Go to www.subwaybhaktis.com for more enquiries or contact nyck@ creativeintuitive.com.

At the close of the call for entries, GLBTIQ filmmakers from 15 countries internationally and every state in Australia had submitted films for the 2010 Festival. Queer Fruits Film Festival (Subway Bhaktis NEW Chanting CD – Rasa Lila) is the only regionally produced GLBTIQ film festival in Australia, which began in 2009, through a unique collaboration between Lismore community group Tropical Fruits Inc and Festival Director Akkadia Ford. Tropical Fruits had previously screened films at their world renowned New Year’s party and had a dream for this to be expanded into a stand-alone event. Akkadia had just completed work on the 15th WOW Film Festival in Sydney (for Women in Film and Television NSW) and enthusiastically began the complex process of establishing and running Queer Fruits Film Festival as an international screen culture event, fully supported by the Australian screen and creative industry and the GLBTIQ community. The Festival supports local screen talent and is produced by a local creative team of internationally renowned digital media artists/ filmmakers including: Virginia Barratt (Web Producer), and Elka Kerkhofs (Animation Director, festival logo and trailer). A special World Premiere preview of Elka’s new animated film will screen in the opening night program. In addition to the shorts and documentary programs, the Festival has secured two premiere queer features to screen, with the Australian/Pacific premiere of Trip by Romanian Director Florina Titz in a new late night session on Thursday December 30th and a new Side-Bar screening also on Thursday 30th.

That album went on to win three Dolphin Awards that year and has been released in the US, Europe and Australia and continues to sell all over the world, with tracks featured on several compilations around the globe, radio airplay and great reviews. The album created a niche in the yoga/chanting/ kirtan world with its diverse styles, rich harmonies and sense of fun, and Subway Bhaktis have toured in Europe every year since then and in Japan, India, Bali and Australia.

How did you first discover that you had shamanic powers – you seem like a pretty normal sort of bloke?

RAYM RICHARDS

is the Festival Director for the Starlight Wellbeing Expo which is held in Bangalow twice a year.

This is a really long story. About 15 years ago I had a profound experience which was spontaneous and totally unexpected.

The next event is scheduled for 6-9 January at the Bangalow A & I Hall and features Ancient Teachings, mediums, intuitive healings and hints on natural success. With a huge display from alternative practictioners all around the area this is the ultimate market to discover all the current left of centre ideas. Raym himself will be presenting his take on Crop Circle makers.

It was triggered by handling a rare crystal. Until that point I was as sceptical as the next person, but everything changed for me in about 15 minutes. I Seven caught up with Raym about his very was not in any kind of unusual occupation. healing crisis, in fact my life had reached You describe yourself as an urban shaman... the state of perfect what does that mean? equilibrium, which is By calling myself an urban shaman I imply that why, I guess, there was the this is a modern form of shamanism that can exist space for this to happen. in the 21st century, in any situation. Much as part I ended up having a dialogue of me might like it, I don’t need much ceremony with ‘spirit beings’ who loved me to facilitate a shamanic journey for my clients. I act as a bridge between worlds for my clients, a unconditionally. My first response was to say, ‘Hey, you have got the wrong guy, I don’t bridge to the spirit world. The techniques I have believe in you,’ but it was not that simple. It developed enable anyone to safely and legally access expanded states of consciousness without became clear to me that it was time for me to using drugs. I use a pattern of crystals placed awaken from the happy sleep that I was in, and around the client’s head to trigger an altered activate my life plan. Part of this is teaching to state of consciousness. This is our birthright and it other therapists the technique I have developed. is accessible for every human being.

Did you struggle coming to terms with just how you were supposed to use your ‘gift’?

abandon everything I was attached to, including the attachments I had to my own personality.

It took me 18 months of stillness to come to terms with what happened to me. It would have been the easy way out to ignore it but it was so profound, it took me to a place of nothingness.

How did you find a path that normalised what you do? I had a great deal of support from my wonderful wife and daughter, who both understood what was happening to me, even though at times I did not; this helped enormously. It took time and it helped that I was surrounded by a very loving and understanding family. Because of my continuing experiences, and because I met likeminded people who had had similar experiences, it slowly became a normal part of my life. You are presenting on crop circles. What do you understand them to be?

I totally deconstructed myself and let go of everything that I thought I was. This was hard for me because throughout my life I have been a dynamic and creative individual. To let go of my attachment to that was quite a challenge. After I had reached the point where I could have happily left this planet it became clear to me what I should do next. In order to get to that point I had to

In my experience, crop circles are mostly made by non-physical beings. Of course there are jokers with planks who make pathetic attempts at interesting designs. There are also groups of people you can pay to put your logo into a crop. I doubt that these groups of people could make a very large and complex design appear in just 15 minutes in broad daylight, right next to Stonehenge. This is how one of the first crop circles of 2010 manifested. This appearance was witnessed by one of the many security guards that now patrol Stonehenge along with a local light aircraft pilot. In a genuine crop formation, even though the crop appears to be flat, it is actually folded

just above ground level, it is not damaged. It is still alive and it is still harvestable. What is a non-physical circle maker? How do you make contact with them? To understand the concept of non-physical most people need to have a paradigm shift. So far I have referred to ‘spirit beings.’ This is a very simplistic term but one that most people will understand. Actually there is much more to it than that. We exist as part of a multidimensional reality, in other words there are other dimensional realities existing very close to ours and guess what? There are beings living in those realities, just like we live in ours. So when I refer to non-physical beings I’m referring actually to interdenominational beings, intelligent, sentient and self aware beings that exist in realities close to ours. There are many levels of reality, many types of beings; not all of them love us. I am only interested in interacting with the beings who love us unconditionally. The group I took to the UK contacted a group of non-physical circle makers through my shamanic technique which I call Crystal Dreaming. What happened was that one member of the group was selected or activated from outside of the group, not by me. In fact you could say that traditionally all shamans are activated from outside this reality. Working with the selected member of the group we took her on a shamanic journey and very easily contacted the circle makers. They advised us that they were not the only ones making crop formations, but they would be happy to make any design we requested, close to our location. And they did! It was spectacular. Apart from being very nice patterns, what is the significance of crop circles?  There are many books written on the subject and they are worth exploring. There are many theories about what the patterns represent. Some believe they are complex codes sent to ‘wake up humanity’; others see within the designs’ obscure mathematical formula; others see great beauty. My aim in taking a group to the UK was to actually experience the energy of the crop circles first-hand. We decided not to spend too much time on other people’s theories, rather to just feel the energy of the circles, which is what we did. Surprisingly for me, the energies of the circles were very subtle: some had a very upbeat feel, some made people feel very sleepy; they were all different. I would say that the circle makers are opening channels of communication with us in a nonthreatening way, in a playful way. It was certainly lots of fun exploring them. We are going again in 2011. Are we alone? Do you believe that crop circles are created by aliens? Or what? It always amuses me that people consider that we might be alone in this huge and complex universe. It also amuses me that until recently our scientists were obsessed with finding other three-dimensional planets with a similar atmosphere to ours where other beings like us might exist. How egocentric to believe that all life forms might be humanoid, carbon based and living in an oxygen-rich atmosphere. I find this concept to be silly. I believe, based on my experience, that many crop circles are created by sentient beings who are ready to play with us if we wish it. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if in the next few years governments hinted that we are not alone. We are being fed the lead up to this concept right now. What will you be presenting at Starlight Festival? I’m giving a two hour workshop where people are welcome to ask questions about my experience in the UK. I will be showing some

www.echo.net.au

pretty amazing slides of the trip and also talking about the techniques we used to communicate with the circle makers, and what happened when we did. Even the most sceptical of observers cannot deny the link between the design we requested and the beautiful, complex crop formation that appeared close to where we were staying, within days of our request.

My work as a shaman involves helping people access absolute bliss and unconditional love. It is a natural part of this process that anything that is not love based will try and stop the process, because it feels threatened. I and the practitioners I have trained frequently encounter beings who do not love us unconditionally. This is a natural part of the work that I do and I deal with it regularly.

Is it ever as dramatic as what we see in the movies? Occasionally yes it can be; however, Hollywood loves to exaggerate things. I have been writing a series of articles about my work this year, for a national magazine which I will convert into a book and probably a graphic novel, as some of the stories lend themselves to that medium. Most sessions are gentle and we are able to help any confused beings who may be attached to a client find peace. Think about it: if you were a fear-based being and another being threatened your existence you might react violently. This is what you see in the movies. There is another way, a much gentler way of dealing with this situation. Sure, I have lots of stories that would make most people’s hair curl, but you’ll have to take them to dinner to hear them. Does  the work you do ever scare you? It did at first. The first three years of my practice was like a series of X-Files movies. It reached a point where I thought things couldn’t get weirder, and they did. This was all part of my initiation is a shaman, it helped me understand the truth of what I was dealing with, and through experience gave me the tools to deal with challenging situations, peacefully. These days I rarely experience fear. We are all part of the same consciousness; it is ultimately love based, so what is there to fear?

will get you nowhere in the arts. Winner of the Golden Lion (for best film) at Venice, where doubtless the Cartier encrusted, spray tanned judges identified acutely with the existential angst and suffering of its central character (an American screen idol), if there were an Oscar awarded for pretentiousness it would be a lay-down misere to get the gong. One of the things that I disliked intensely about Coppola’s lavishly (but for mine, unreasonably) praised Lost In Translation (2003) was the snooty sense of uber-coolness that mothballed its subjects and the contemptuous idea that we the audience should be grateful for being invited into their world to share it with them – everybody else is so ‘unaware’, it said. The same rarefied preciousness applies here. Johnny Marco (Stephen Dorff) is the big star of a Hollywood movie that has just opened in Italy. He drinks a lot of beer, smokes heaps (and très stylishly, too), doesn’t bother to shave much (natch) and has sexy dames throwing themselves at him every time he opens the door (‘where did it all go wrong?’ George Best once asked when coping with similar problems). When the estranged mother of his young daughter Cleo (Elle Fanning) goes awol, he takes the eleven-year-old to Europe with him on his latest junket and, later, on a trip to Vegas. And that, apart from the three tantalising texts that he receives (of which nothing is made – how metaphorical!), is all there is to it. Tediously long-held shots of Johnny sitting on his lounge, sipping a Corona and thinking hard (you can tell he’s doing that by the way he drags on his ciggie), or of Johnny watching a couple of blonde pole-dancers (done twice, just in case you weren’t bored to death the first time), or of Johnny with Cleo, sunbathing on banana chairs, not speaking, by the pool of their luxury hotel, are innumerable. Such scenes, I am told, appeal to something called the European sensibility (with apologies to Fellini, Goddard, Almodovar et al), but though Coppola’s script might most generously be described as indulgently minimalist, its self-conscious somnambulism tends to make Judd Apatow look like William Shakespeare.

his wife and darling daughters are changed forever by his reaction to the crisis. Intimate, tragic and ineffably French.

#1 – BOY : Child is father to the man. In an isolated Maori community, Boy and his brother Rocky save their widowed Dad’s soul. At its heart is the eternal need, though it might entail insupportable sadness, to come back to what is most meaningful in our lives, to what’s made us who we are. Funny, and with a triumphant use of sentiment, it is burnished by an ingredient rarely found in similarly low-budget Oz flicks – pride. Real people, real love. It made my heart swell.

# 7 – ME AND ORSON WELLES : A real sleeper, it came and went (while so much tripe lingered). Set in New York, leading up to opening night of Welles’s stage production of Julius Caesar, it’s a sharp observation of the tyranny that egomaniacal artists adopt as a right and, for the ‘Me’ of the story, a bittersweet appreciation of the naivete of a young man who foolishly falls for the girl in the play. Exceptional ensemble performances and an evocative but not showy recreation of time and place.

#2 – THE SECRET IN THEIR EYES : From Argentina, a mystery with an unexpected, discomfiting moral question posed at its shocking and unforeseen conclusion. Obsession, smouldering sexual tension, off-beat humour and a dominant theme of the vengeful cruelty that can be demanded by love when it is lost forever.

#8 – BRIGHT STAR : Old fashioned as anything, it was easily the best romance of the year. Abbie Cornish, playing the girlfriend of the doomed poet, John Keats, was an absolute revelation. Set in Victorian England but contemporary in every way, it made that elusive connection with its historical subjects. They breathed, their poetry shone.

#3 – THE SOCIAL NETWORK : A gripping exposÊ of Mark Zuckerberg, a college geek with no social skills, a chip on his shoulder and a not atypical disregard for those who helped him. Does Facebook’s phenomenal success confirm the prescient self-absorption of its creator? I guess it depends on whether or not you are one of the 500 million people (as I am) whom it has made monkeys of.

#9 – EASY A : Take no notice of the nay-sayers who bang away mindlessly about the worthlessness of Hollywood (they bag films such as this sight unseen). Teenaged Olive learns the hard way about the mess we weave when first we practise to deceive – even if the deception is meant for the good. Incisive, forgiving and rapid-fire, with champion contributions from journeymen Thomas Haden Church, Stanley Tucci and Patricia Clarkson. Ostensibly for teens, but brainier than so many ‘worthy’ grown-ups’ flicks.

#4 – THE ROAD : Cormac McCarthy’s chilling futuristic novel was transferred to the screen with satisfying exactitude. Compellingly grim and – let’s face it – probably closer to the truth of what awaits our species than anything that grinning Oprah and the advertising agencies might tout, it was every bit as good as the book.

# 10 – HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON : 3D has heightened the experience of the new animation which regularly makes valid social comment. Most of the smart money will be on Toy Story 3 (undeniably a gorgeous work of art), but for mine the tale of the Viking boy who was not a chip off the old block takes the prize for the year’s most memorable ‘toon. It was visually stunning, with true characters and an uplifting morality. Don’t wait for the kids to drag you along – today’s animated features are witty and provocative.

#5 – THE GHOST WRITER : There’s life in the old bloke yet. At 76, Roman Polanski proved that he can still show the flash tyros a thing or two. Demonstrating conclusively that an outstanding script will always trump a billion bucks’ worth of CGI, he gave us an intrigue of Hitchcockian illusion and tension. A great performance from Pierce Brosnan as the British PM who bears an uncanny resemblance to Tony Blair.

#6 – FATHER OF MY CHILDREN : With his latest project in chaos, an indie film producer needs to deal with the imminent collapse of the award-winning company that he established and for which he has sweated blood. Ramifications lunge from the professional to the personal as the lives of

Television Guide What a wasteland Christmas television viewing generally is. Among the better offerings are: 1. The Australian movie Hey Hey It’s Esther Bluberger (Prime, Friday Dec 24, 8.30pm), in which a young teenager learns to break free of conformity, as they do. 2. Kung Fu Panda Holiday (ABC1, Saturday Dec 25, 6pm) has not only kung fu and a panda but also a holiday. 3. Doctor Who’s A Christmas Carol (ABC1, Sunday Dec 26, 7.30pm) sets out to prove that Santa is science fiction, just as Charles Dickens was an interstellar traveller with a penchant for maudlin fiction. By this stage you will have eaten too much cake, and will long for a time machine.

Television Guide 1. In sixties Britain there were the Mods and the Rockers and that fabulous band The Who. This is the film of the Who album Quadrophenia (ABC2, Friday Dec 31, 9.30pm), talkin’ ‘bout their generation. 2. Scientologist Tom Cruise salutes his own ego in A Few Good Men (NBN, Saturday Jan 1, 8.30pm). Actually Cruise and Jack Nicholson are excellent in this, providing as always you can handle the truth. 3. Strictly Ballroom (ABC1, Sunday Jan 2, 8.3opm) is a fun Australian movie which showcases the dance moves the music of the Quadrophenia days almost took away. In diversity, there is life.

E ARIES: Best recipe while retro Mercury’s playing xmas grinch? Letting go needing to be right. Or even in control of anything in the coming fortnight but the way you behave. Don’t lock into one-way thinking, enjoy whatever presents itself and begin the new year with a light heart. F TAURUS: Your trademark patience gets a workout this week, but the x-event’s only as stressful as you make it. Venus insists on giving yourself some look-good, feel-good pampering next week to celebrate the planet rebooting itself with a refreshing sense of confidence in the coming year. G G EMINI: Early week full moon lunar eclipse in Gemini right on the solstice marks a turning point in realizing what you’ve outgrown during the last six months. And your cosmic captain Mercury moving forward on December 30 offers an invitation to some ultra-indulgent new year frolics. H CANCER: This week’s full moon lunar eclipse triggers a lot of emotional energy to initiate permanent changes in a major relationship. And while the seasonal countdown inevitably gets testy and contentious, by Thursday 30th the thrill factor returns for a warm and wonderful end of year finale. I L EO: The solstice sun sees you less affected by crosscurrents and complications than other signs, and Leo moon suggests you’d shine hosting xmas at home - avoiding as always too many chefs in the xmas kitchen. New year aspects are strong and responsible but definitely amenable to gallivanting. J V IRGO: Yuletide frivolity always comes with the odd inconvenience, unexpected upset and extra expense, but what would the season of unreason be without xmas hiccups and family squabbles? Your planetary ruler Mercury at December’s end kisses everything better to celebrate the new year in fine festive togetherness.

K L IBRA: The coming fortnight challenges Libran equilibrium (doesn’t everything?) as the festive menu offers the odd surprise, but as you know attitude is paramount and charm gets better results than demands. As hectic end of year rhythms level out to a bearable tempo, so will you… L SCORPIO: A time of complex emotions, ‘tis the season when feather ruffling inevitably occurs, so let peace on earth begin with you. Venus ensures you’re at your most charismatic, and teamed up with new year’s eve Scorpio moon, she’s so in the mood for hanky panky. M SAGITTARIUS: Mercury backtracking into Sagittarius carries an astral potential for forgetfulness: Doh! moments of keys locked in cars and mislaid credit cards, so check all arrangements – if you remember. But it’s only a passing blip, with memory and merriment happily restored before new year’s eve gets under way. N CAPRICORN: To make up for getting short-changed in the end of year present department, Capricorns have the best stars for the next fortnight. Midweek sun joining Capricorn Mars brings admirers out of the woodwork, plenty of personal kudos and some excitingly hot prospects for new year. O AQUARIUS: Cancelled plans, broken promises, communication breakdowns, changed arrangements, so what? So many more opportunities to be creative with whatever lands on your plate. Minimize festive stress by a) prioritizing, b) dropping nonessentials, unnecessary complications and other peoples’ angst, and c) starting right now. P P ISCES: Avoid emotional excess at all costs in the coming fortnight, because at this time of year even miniscule differences of opinion can go nuclear. But it’s only temporary, because life and love come alive and thrive again in time for soul-reviving new year celebrations.

The Australian Masters, a roundrobin invitational tournament hosted in Melbourne, has become an institution for almost a quarter of a century.

Butter wouldn’t melt... Victoria Cosford

My chin glowed gold, naturally – I was a greedy child – but in fact butter per se is a food I rarely eat. Unlike my mother whose passion for it sees her thickly mounting it on to sandwiches, toast, muffins, hotcakes, scones, croissants or whatever takes butter, despite the fact that in most other areas she exercises admirable restraint. I gave up butter after living in a country where olive oil reigned supreme; once back in Australia it seemed wise to continue renouncing it, especially given the climate of disapproval which surrounded it from the health point of view. Much of that disapproval has since abated as people realised that the trans-fats in the allegedly ‘healthier’ margarine were as responsible for raising cholesterol levels as was butter. More importantly, it abated with the welcome revival of interest in ‘real’ food and in the extraordinary, incomparable properties butter endows to cooking and to eating in general. However, according to Australian buttermaker and cheese authority Richard Thomas, Australians ‘are getting palmed off with a shit product, insofar as supermarket brands of salted butter are concerned’ – the choice of most consumers in the country. Richard claims that almost all entry-level supermarket butter is rancid to some point. The reason for this is that the cream used in making butter – butter being the fat of the milk, the outcome of fresh or fermented cream or milk which has been churned – is a by-product of the skim milk powder sent to Asia and the Middle East. ‘Australians don’t know what good butter is because we don’t make much of it,’ he says. Another factor is the compound in Australian pastures that makes cows

produce more lipase, a naturally occurring enzyme that breaks down the fat in milk so calves can digest it, but which can also give butter a rancid flavour.

There was a little thing we would do as children – one of those absurd, sweet, unquestioned acts which populate childhood – consisting of holding buttercups underneath our chins to determine whether or not we liked butter. If your chin reflected the golden glow from the flower, there it was, the indelible proof of your affection for the substance.

<echowebsection=Good Taste>

Some butter-makers in Australia are now beginning to make cultured butter in a bid to create a local equivalent of classic European ones such as the French butters from Isigny and Lescure. Cultured butter is basically butter made with sour cream, or a cream to which cultures have been added. These cultures digest the lactose, or milk sugar, transforming it into lactic acid which is what elevates butter from ordinary to sweet, fruity, herbal, nutty – in other words, complex and luscious, rich and creamy. In Sydney there is a heavenly bakery called Bourke Street Bakery outside which on an ordinary day I have queued patiently in order to purchase pastries and breads. Owner/bakers Paul Allam and David McGuinness in their ‘ultimate baking companion’ say in the introduction to the fat coffee-table compendium that they ‘have always imported butter from Europe, first from Denmark and now from Belgium.’ On a visit to the kitchens of top chefs you will find that many use French cultured butters. And the butter will be unsalted, there being no modern use for salted butter, as salt was only added to prolong shelf life. So. For all my self-righteous abstention from butter, there are forms it takes to which I effortlessly succumb. At Christmas time one of those forms just happens to be Brandy Butter, melting into the wedge of my sister’s annual moist, dense, fruit-rich pudding. For this, do seek out the best cultured butter you can find! BRANDY BUTTER In a large bowl whisk 100g roomtemperature butter (Danish Lurpak or French Lescure) until pale and creamy, then beat in 225g icing sugar until perfectly combined. Add 3 – 5 tablespoons Cognac to taste, cover and chill until ready to be served.

Upon the Feast of BrømlÎ Horatio Bitemark

At this time of year one finds that the festivals are stacked upon each other like cheerleaders after a few daiquiris. Along with Saturnalia – December 17-23, much dissipation required – the Club members tend to celebrate BrømlĂŽ, at least the Egg Nodd part of it. You, gentle reader, would naturally think I have misspelt Eggnog, but it is not quite the same libation of which I write. I shall explain. The Feast of BrømlĂŽ falls upon the last day of Saturnalia but is in no other way directly related to it. It originated in about 120AD in the little, and little-known, principality of Fonmeh, on the eastern border of Finland, near the Kajaani Region. The Feast is founded upon a peculiar animism, in which the 407 spirits of ice are regarded as sacred and are propitiated by the rubbing of ice upon the body. We tend to ignore that part, apart from the rubbing of ice on the temples after a particularly sordid evening’s exertions, and instead drop the ice into various celebratory liquids, such as the aforementioned daiquiri. Once the naked participants are rubbed with ice and have attained the requisite hue of blue, the Fonmeh shaman would take the ritual BrømlĂŽ Chicken Of Fate to the Lodge of KervĂŽplĂĽats, which roughly translates as ‘Breath of the Angels’. There the chicken is placed atop a blue-painted pole – liberal seed is provided on this perch so the chicken will not stray mid-ceremony – and celebrated in the song ‘NervĂŠll dim RĂĽasti’. Perhaps the most moving verse may be translated as ‘Chicken of the Pole/ We beseech you in your magnificence/ Keep us safe in the blinding snow/ May our reindeers all have triplets!’

70 December 21, 2010 The Byron Shire Echo

Despite the mildly warming influence of the song and the chicken’s body heat, Fonmehs are at this stage enjoying the euphoria of hypothermia, so here the ritual libation, Egg Nodd, comes into play. Naturally it contains alcohol – in the original instance fermented reindeer’s milk formed the base. This is enhanced by more reindeer’s milk, the eggs of less sacred chickens and rather than the nutmeg familiar to Eggnog devotees, the drink contains zĂźnkl, the roasted seed of the Ikea bush which has hallucinogenic and aphrodisiac properties. (Incidentally, the origins of the word Eggnog are obscure. Egg Nodd, however, means ‘divine ice drink further blessed by the chicken and reindeer’.) Reindeers being in short supply on the north coast, we tend to substitute with cow’s milk and a decent brandy. We do have our own patch of Ikea bushes, so the arousing part of the Feast of BrømlĂŽ is properly celebrated. This being a family newspaper precludes my venturing into intimate detail but the Egg Nodd is particularly effective when combined with a visit from the graduates of Miss Edna Bouncybun’s College of Lubricity and rounds off the end of Saturnalia quite nicely. All that remains now, gentle reader, is for me to wish you a satisfying celebration of your own favourite rituals and to toast your good health. As the Fonmehs are wont to say, especially after a few Egg Nodds, ‘Garsh BrømlĂŽ hanhi hanhi RĂĽasti plĂźp’.

Five hundred and seventeen reasons to give 2010 the flick Story & photo John Campbell

Sports junkies have to cope with the cruelest of ironies. On the same weekend that the Wallabies were flogging the Froggies in the Stade de France to the tune of 59-16, the Poms were piling up a massive 1-517 against RT Ponting’s toothless bowling attack in Brisbane. I’d never seen such a scoreboard, and I hope I never do again – unless, of course, it’s by us against them at Lord’s. Australia limped away from the Gabba with a draw, only to be put to the sword by an innings in Adelaide. Confounding us all, the boys came back like a house on fire at the WACA but, overall, 2010 was a horrible anus. The Byron Bay Red Devils, repeatedly found guilty of flattering to deceive, ate humble pie as others contested the NRRRL play-offs, while the Mullumbimby Giants didn’t get within coo’ee of the Top Five. On the bigger stage, those righteous South Sydney Rabbitohs again failed to make an impression, notwithstanding the decree that sentenced the Melbourne Storm to the cellar for the duration. This effectively meant that the Bunnies, with the greatest pack ever assembled in the history of the Universe, were still not good enough to finish ninth. As for Origin – do we have

to go there? In Slater, Inglis, Lockyer, Thurston, Petero, Cam Smith and Slammin’ Sam Thaiday, the Canetoads have a vintage crop, but it must surely go into decline soon … mustn’t it? And what wouldn’t any long suffering Blues supporter give to see that smug smile wiped off Mal Meninga’s face? His love-in with Fatty Vautin before kick-off is way beyond

nauseating. Game Three, at the Olympic Stadium, was the first I’ve attended. I was close enough to see the beads of sweat on Willie Tonga’s forehead as he scored the try that sealed the Maroons’ whitewash, but what I’ll never forget is the Indigenous girl, with a driving didge backbeat, singing the national anthem in the local mob’s an-

cient tongue. It was an ethereal moment. South of the border, in that other code, the team that has been waiting even longer than the Red and Greens to once more rejoice in grand final glory (their 66 to our 71), St Kilda, had two bites of the cherry but still went home with their arses whipped. In deference to This Paper’s sports editor, a Collin-

gwood tragic but otherwise normal (sort of), I daren’t say how disappointed I was for the Saints. Elsewhere, Craig Forster continued to write bed-wetting eulogies about soccer, the beautiful game, and how it is the apogee of art, imagination, flair, intelligence, wit, skill, sophistication, nobility, stamina – civilisation in general, really. Sadly for Craig, you can only lead a horse to water and Australia’s barbaric punters, blind to soccer’s exquisite morality and inherent superiority, continued to stay away from the A-League in droves. In defiance of the steamrolling globalization practised by FIFA’s nest-feathering dons and their corrupt affiliates, gridiron in the US, league and ’rules in Oz and union in the Shaky Isles, all thrive as bastions of localism. Long may it be so … and congratulations Qatar. What a happening place that will be in 2022. As for the rah-rahs’ ruck and maul fest, our overpaid Wallabies, with underperforming super-coach Robbie Deans at the helm, saved their bacon in Paris after earlier pulling two sterling if unexpected victories out of the hat just when everyone was writing them off. They beat the brutish Boks in Bloemfontein and the All Blacks in Hong Kong (why Honkers?), but came back to earth with

an ugly thud after having the cleaners put through them by England at Twickenham (that one really hurt, didn’t it?). Australia’s blokes became world hockey champs (did you know that the laws of that sport prohibit left-handers?) and, equally forgettable, we harvested a ton of gold at Delhi. As far as I’m concerned, though, the Commonwealth Games were marred by the no-show of so many promised fiascos. Spain at last won an anaemic World Cup and the Pakistani cricketers breathed new life into the question of whether or not a national sporting team can fairly be said to mirror the values of the society it represents. Individually, Stephanie Gilmore, despite her brilliant achievement of clinching a fourth straight world surfing championship, was never likely to attract as much media attention as Mark Webber or Cadel Evans, who bombed in Formula One and le Tour de France respectively. And on the first Tuesday of November a flat tyre prevented me from getting to the TAB in time to put my ten bucks on Americain – it would have been my only Melbourne Cup winner and, worst of all, no bastard believed me when I told them I was going to back it! 2011 can only be an improvement.

Rain ok for Harwood but not OS Pro Am

what’s happening in the surf

The weather of recent weeks has played havock with Byron Shire golf tournaments and even the hardiest of die hards have been thwarted by rain beyond belief. The Ocean Shores Pro Am that was scheduled for December 10 was postponed until last Monday, but rain over the weekend left the course in no condition to be played on, and even though the event morning’s clear skies were a golfer’s dream, the damage had been done and the tournament was cancelled for the second time. ‘For a second time the weather has forced us to cancel the Ocean Shores PGA Legends Pro-Am,’ said tourna-

ment organiser Stuart Brady. ‘The amount of rain that fell in the lead-up to the event, especially on Sunday, meant the course was left unplayable. We are bitterly disappointed, however, we’d like to thank our sponsors, volunteers, Jim Stewart and the green’s staff, Chris Graham and the Proshop staff, and Andrew Spice and the admin staff for all their support and understanding.’ Late Monday afternoon Stuart said that the Ocean Shores Men’s Golf Committee will be meeting shortly to decide on an appropriate course of action in the aftermath of the rain. For the second year in a row, the Byron Bay Legends Tour

The event ran from December 8-20 and includedthe World’s Top 32 surfers as well as 15 Hawaiian Pipeline Specialists, of which twelve were event wildcards. The Vans Triple Crown of Surfing consists of three men’s and three women’s professional surfing events that are the final stop on the 2010 Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) World Tour.

<echowebsection=Sport>

Championship was drenched, but Sunday’s downpour saw this year’s event abandoned before the last day of play. Resident Professional Greg Stewart said that the 47 golf pros and 75 amateurs put in their best over the first two rounds but the torrential conditions on Sunday were just too much for round three. ‘We got 40 mils on Sunday,’ said Greg after the event. ‘This was the second event in a row out of the four we have been running that the rain has had an effect on us, but this year we had to cancel play at 1.30pm. The PGA rep, greens keeper Shaun Cross and myself made the decision an hour later not to continue.’

The tournament was decided with scores from the two rounds and after 15 years away from pro golf, Mark Harwood was declared the winner. Shooting six birdies, Mark finished with 140, putting him four-under-par for the event and taking home $6300. Rodger Davis and Mike Ferguson who were tipped to do well in the event came in equal third after Byron Bay club captain and professional player Mark Wilson, who was chuffed to place second. Greg said despite the weekend’s rain, golfers were back on the course on Monday, and though it was wet under foot, the course had recovered well.

While many people are peeling their Christmas lunch prawn, hundreds of volunteers from Surf Life Saving Clubs will patrol NSW beaches to ensure you see Christmas 2011. The mission of Surf Life Saving is to provide a safe beach and aquatic environment throughout the NSW. As the state’s major water safety and rescue organisation, the 67,000 members also makes SLSCs one of the largest volunteer movements in Australia. Their primary role is to save lives on the beach and the 129 Surf Life Saving clubs protected more than seven million beach goers last season and they are all volunteers. Fortunately for us, the SLSC patrollers spend a lot of time helping those who can’t or are a bit too thick to help themselves. Many rescues could be avoided if swimmers would only swim in the safest place

– replaying a song from a broken record that really needs to be heard over and over, for goodness sake people SWIM BETWEEN THE FLAGS! This was one of the main messages when the Echo got together with the local club prezzos last weekend. Between them, Bryon prez Neil Cameron and Bruns prez Craig Reid have clocked up untold hours keeping the funnest activity on the north coast safe. Just about everybody loves to go to the beach but not everybody makes sensible choices on how to go about doing it. Byron prez Neil says that he and his patrollers spend more time out of bounds than anywhere else. ‘Over 80 per cent of our rescues come from outside of the red and yellow flags,’ says Neil. ‘We have done rescues up to 500 metres beyond the marked area and it can get very dangerous, especially if someone has to run that distance across sand to alert us that there is a

distressed swimmer in the water. Then we have to travel back that distance to perform the rescue. These situations are life threatening. At least if people swim between the flags we can see them easily and get out to them quickly.’ Bruns prez Craig says that it is so important to not swim on your own. ‘People do swim outside the flags. We don’t encourage it but it does happen. On Brunswick beach a lot of the time people are walking their dogs and decide to hop in for a quick dip and we do a lot of rescues in the dog exercise area. If you do swim outside the flags, for goodness sake make sure you are not swimming alone. This is a really dangerous practice and you will always be that bit safer with a friend or in a group, even if it’s just so they can alert rescuers.’ Both presidents agree that another factor in many of the rescues is drugs and alcohol.

Royal Life Saving’s ‘Swim and Survive’ working to reduce drownings An incredible 15 million Australian children have now been through the Royal Life Saving Swim and Survive program. Royal Life Saving and Uncle Tobys are proudly working together to reduce child drownings. Latest figures show 56 children under 17 drowned in the past year. It’s never too early to start. All parents are being urged to ensure their children have strong swimming skills. Royal Life Saving estimates as many as 50,000 eleven to twelve year olds will leave primary school this year not even able to swim the length of an Olympic swimming pool. To celebrate this year’s Swim and Survive program the Echo has teamed up with Royal Life www.echo.net.au

Swimming under the influence can magnify any other problems in the surf and affected swimmers not only increase their own risk of getting in trouble but their ability to be rescued safely. The sad and stark truth is that people do die in Byron Shire waters. The hours of training that SLSC volunteers undergo is not just for the hell of it. Harsh but true, SLSC members learn skills that can save your life and each year these two clubs deliver loved ones back to families who otherwise might find themselves at a funeral. The prezzos want you to enjoy the beach and the best way to do that is stay safe. So help the patrollers by helping yourself. Stay between the flags. If you happen to be on the beach on Christsmas day, visit the troops and say hello and give thanks to those who are giving up their celebrations to make your day safer.

The seven ‘Mini guns’ from Mullumbimby are going from strength to strength beating their arch nemesis Sunshine Coast 5-2 at Caloundra on the weekend in round 4 of the Queensland Summer Futsal

(indoor soccer) League. Earlier in the day they demolished the Gold Coast representative team 8 goals to 5. The young guns are in the U10 NSW Far North Coast touring team and have been travelling all over southern Queensland and also com-

peted in Sydney over the last few months. The boys all live around the Byron Shire and play in the Mullumbimby competition during the week. They are currently in second place in the Queensland Futsal League and have scored a massive 43 goals in 8 games.

Last weeke weekend’s k nd d’s win against the competition leaders Sunshine Coast was hard fought and a sweet victory as the boys won even without the help of their injured specialist goal keeper Mark Starrett. ‘The Sunshine Coast team is a very classy and well drilled outfit,’ said coach Tim Knight. ‘However, our boys have been playing really well over the last few weeks perfecting our game tactics, fine tuning their skills and they are really starting to play excellent Futsal. They are playing in every high level tournament they can and loving every minute. ‘ ‘Its great to think we have so much emerging young talent here in Byron Shire’ said team manager Clinton Hart. ‘This is as good as any team in Queensland or Sydney.’ The boys will travel to Cornubia stadium in Brisbane for the next round of the State League. On past performance they are quietly confident they can continue their winning streak against the Brisbane representative team and nudge closer to 1st position on the Queensland Futsal League table.

Climate change is a real concern

Slave wages

Don Page

I have found talking about climate change brings forward the true believers trying to save the planet; the sceptics who say this is all a part of a natural cycle; and a whole lot of people and views in between. My views on climate change are well known. I believe it is a real concern and we, as individuals, communities and as a nation, need to do something about it. Some people are quick to tell me how wrong I have it. My answer to them is to look at the science. Read and absorb as much as you can from both sides of the argument and then make an informed decision. Climate change is a complex issue and one that is difficult to understand. I was very pleased to come across a new publication from the Austra-

lian Academy of Science called The Science of Climate Change: questions and answers. The Australian Academy of Science was founded in 1954 and is an internationally respected organisation based in Canberra whose members include some 400 of the country’s top scientists. The Academy has published a number of reports on a range of interesting and thought-provoking subjects including stem cell research, human cloning, space science, pesticides and of course climate change. What is interesting about The Science of Climate Change publication is that it provides answers to simple questions that we sometimes ponder. There are seven questions which the publication answers in detail. A brief outline of the questions and answers in the

When asked what she had in mind for the slave she had made the winning bid for, Surati simply said, ‘I’ll get my money’s worth’. Doc was just one of the auction prizes at the Byron Community Centre’s Christmas party which raised more than $600 for the Fletcher Street Cottage homeless drop-in centre. People also bought huge Christmas hampers and presents for the Adopt a Family campaign, where, from a demographic profile of families in need, they had selected appropriate donations for their adopted family.

music is selected and the choirs prepared by organist and musical director of both Lismore churches, Warren Whitney. This is a delightful, relaxing way to unwind in the hectic rush Christmas can become. The event is non-denominational and admission is free.

Council defers Ocean Shores tower decision Byron Shire Council voted 7-2 last week to defer a proposed extension of the Optus telecommunications tower at Ocean Shores. The existing 25 metre high tower at Devines Lookout would be replaced by a tower five metres higher under the proposal. Cr Richard Staples opened debate by opposing the construction on visual, health, and noise pollution grounds. ‘The original tower didn’t go through a rigorous process. Hayters tower was refused for visual grounds, as recommended by staff.’ Cr Diane Woods said, ‘I wouldn’t want in my backyard, and I certainly don’t want it in these residents’ backyards. While it has not been proven categorically that there is a danger, I was interested to hear that one of the major iPhone providers has put out advice to not have the phones near the body, and they also said that using earplugs was not a safe measure.’ All voted for a deferment to find alternatives except Crs Tucker and Heeson. Cr Tucker claimed that there was a conflict of interest with Council being the landowner and there could be ‘potential for litigation.’ ‘This is policy change on the run and reacting to a specific case,’ Cr Tucker said. ‘A fortnight ago we didn’t have these concerns.’ www.echo.net.au

‘Council as landowner signed the Optus DA giving consent to carry out the development prior to Optus lodging the DA. ‘Council as a “planning consent authority” is assessing the merit of development on its own land and is then determining the application. In my opinion there is a question of conflict of interest. It is always open to Council to have the matter independently assessed [by a consultant, NSW Planning] but then Council is obliged to accept/adopt that independent assessor’s recommendation.’ Cr Tony Heeson told The Echo, ‘I just want to get it fixed. If you can find somewhere else for it, then that would be fine. I am happy to look for an alternative.’

NBN delivers for new homeowners, says RDC The Residential Development Council has welcomed the announcement that new developments with 100 premises or more will be prioritised for the roll-out of the National Broadband Network. Under the policy, developers will continue to be responsible for installing pit and pipe infrastructure, while NBN Co will cover the cost of installing fibre infrastructure into communities and new homes. Residential Development Council Executive Director, Caryn Kakas, says the announcement is a big win for buyers of new homes in greenfield developments and apartment buildings. ‘This means that homeowners on the urban fringe won’t be hit with a $3000 charge nor will regional Australians face a cost of up to $5000 to pay for the delivery of the National Broadband Network into

their communities,’ Kakas says. ‘The Residential Development Council has been working constructively with the Federal Government and NBN Co for some time in order to get things right and it’s great to see that there will be no additional costs to consumers for the installation of broadband. ‘This is a win for common sense and ensures that new communities can participate fully in the vast range of social and economic benefits which access to broadband brings. ‘The strategic decision to ensure new development sites are provided with fibre from day one is a sound one. It is fundamental that, where possible, housing being delivered at scale can be included up-front instead of taxpayers taking on the additional cost of retrofitting for fibre over the next decade. ‘This approach, which is being done concurrently

with the roll-out across the country, means that the needs of both established and new housing will be met. ‘Another important component is that NBN Co has released pit and pipe specifications and guide-

lines, which will provide the industry with some much-needed certainty. ‘The last piece of the puzzle for the development industry is to have a national set of standards – the modern day equivalent of a single rail gauge – which

would include NBN Co’s set of guidelines. ‘It is vital that the communications industry provide one national standard that all state and local governments can rely upon when ensuring fibre is delivered into new estates.’

Property Council welcomes population paper

Open Houses, Auctions & New Listings page 115

The release of the Commonwealth Government’s Sustainable Population Policy Issues Paper has been welcomed by the Property Council of Australia. Property Council CEO Peter Verwer said, ‘For the first time since the Second World War, the national government has committed to produce a National Population Strategy. ‘The Issues Paper fires the starting gun on an important policy debate. ‘The Issues Paper and the reports from the

three advisory panels mean that we can now move from myths to facts and conduct more rational policy discussions. ‘The bottom line is that a growing population can be managed to ensure that we continue to build a nation that maximises our prosperity, sustainability and liveability.’ Mr Verwer said that the key issue is not growth for growth’s sake, but rather, how we manage population growth. ‘Population growth is needed to grow the

The National Population Strategy must align closely to the forthcoming National Urban Policy and the COAG-led city planning reforms.

The next issue will be out on January 4, 2011. In the meantime you can continue to send material to editor@echo.net.au and adcopy@echo.net.au and our sales staff will be on deck on January 29 and 30.
