Mullum to Bruns Dancing on the lake of swans draws record crowds Eve Jeffery

Sunday saw the dawn of a glorious day for the third annual running of the Mullum to Bruns Fun Run and Walk. Over 1000 competitors took the chance to tread the tar on surfaces usually the realm of cars and trucks. A record number of runners entered the event and youngster Leigh Stewart from Goonellabah took the early lead from the pack starting at the Mullum Bowlo. The sixteen year old led the runners through town and pounded the pavement into the 80km zone narrowly keeping Andrew Arkinstall from Tallai at bay, but the lad lost some of his puff coming out of town and it was Arkinstall running in the 19-29 division who was first up the hills and by the time he reached Uncle Tom’s the race was won.

Last year’s record beaten To his credit Leigh managed to keep up a good pace and his second placed time over the line was a truly respectable 34.51.37 behind Andrew’s 34.18.15, both beating last

year’s record by over 40 seconds. Third placed Michael Ure came in almost a minute and a half behind Stewart and inaugural winner Adam Horton was not far behind with 36.14.69, a drop from his winning effort of 2008, but he has had a broken leg since then. First in the women’s divisions was Sharon Ryder from Currumbin, who past the post in a new record time of 40.42.89, carrying on the tradition of women coming home in the first 20. Hundreds of participants took the option to walk to the event and by all accounts had an enjoyable time, though many also made the event a soft option run without the pressure of competition racing. Crowds gathered at the end of the route to rest, enjoy the festivities and take the opportunity to enjoy a free massage. Organiser Mehil Beckerman thanked all those involved including the rescue service and other volunteers – without their help, the event could not run. All race results are already online at www.mullumtobruns.org.

When the speakers on the truck had finished, Mr Ebono approached the crowd to hand out flyers but a man confronted and abused him, pulled the flyers from his hand and threw them before shoving him hard in the chest and storming off, to the applause of other protesters. The assault was captured by television news cameras and screened on national news that night.

A protest rally at Tweed Heads on Saturday against marine parks turned ugly when Greens’ Richmond candidate Joe Ebono was jostled and shoved by protesters as he tried to explain the issue to them. The rally at Jack Evan Boat Harbour, which drew over 200 people, was organised by the local amateur fishing association but was used by Liberals federal election candidate Joan van Lieshout to campaign and push her support for the anti marineElderly woman stamps park lobby.

Not a political rally Asked by The Echo why she had not allowed Mr Ebono to speak on the issue at the public rally, Mrs van Lieshout said it was for the fishing protesters only and not a public or ‘political rally’ and that Mr Ebono was not invited by the organisers. The Tweed councillor and former mayor, who opened the rally with a fiery campaign style speech and closed it in similar fashion, denied her action of not allowing him the legitimacy of the podium for such continued on page 2

The federal government is assessing suitable areas offshore for marine protection as part of its international treaty obligations, a process started by the Howard government. One proposed area for assessment for ‘no-take’ and ‘multiple use’ zones takes in an area offshore, just south off Tweed Heads to the northern tip of the Cape Byron Marine Park, from around three to 44 nautical miles offshore at its widest point. But every speaker at the fishing rally railed against Labor and the Greens and spoke only in general terms of the threat to the fishing industry and livelihoods being destroyed by the ‘lockout’ proposals.

Panel considers $19m Suffolk aged care development The NSW government’s controversial Joint Regional Planning Panel for the Northern Region will meet this Friday August 20 at 2pm at the Byron Bay Golf Club to consider a $19 million aged care development on Broken Head Road, Suffolk Park. The recommendation is to refuse the development as it

does not comply with the Byron Local Environmental Plan in regard to predicted increase in flood levels. The proposal comes from RSL Lifecare Limited to redevelop the former Pinehaven retirement home site on two hectares. RSL Lifecare wants to increase the existing accommodation from 61 beds to 70

beds and also add 31 two-bedroom self-care units. The development DA 10.2009.433.1 was lodged with Byron Council in September last year and went on exhibition in October. Five public submissions were received to the DA, one opposing the proposal and the others raising specific issues.

Helen Street bridge finally opens Photo and story Eve Jeffery

Neither rain, nor rain nor more rain was going to stop the long awaited opening of the Helen Street bridge last Tuesday. A cast of major players gathered to see the long awaited bridge – 60 metres of reinforced concrete, steel and timber – officially opened. Mayor Barham said providing a link across the canal has significant benefits for the community. ‘The Helen Street Footbridge has connected the community and provided an easy and safe access to the beach, nearby shops and the local primary school,’ she said. ‘With a focus on an active outdoor lifestyle in the shire, the footbridge will provide an improved access and amenity for residents and visitors. On behalf of council I want to thank the community for their input and their patience in getting this project finalised.’

Cost at $904,000 At a total project cost of $904,000, the bridge has been funded through a combination of council loans, income from private works, the sale of road reserves and section 94 developer contribution funds. Former South Golden Beach resident Maggie Brown said the Helen Street Footbridge project is an example of how grass roots, community led projects can have major benefits in neighbourhoods. Maggie was very excited as the opening was the first time she had seen the bridge. ‘It is a huge pleasure for me to be

Long time coming The pre-history of what can only be called the bridge saga, dates back to the mid 1990s but tenders for its construction were originally called in 2007. With tenders of up to $1.4 million, the design specification and tender were consequently altered with the assistance of local engineer Tony Baggio who generously donated hundreds of hours of his time for

the project. ‘I am I glad the bridge has gone from a virtual bridge to an actual bridge,’ said Mr Baggio. ‘Finally now I can go fishing.’ Kathy Norley and Angela Dunlop from the South Golden Beach Progress Association, were both ecstatic to be at the opening. ‘I know that I am not the only one here today who has dreamed of this day for many years – 16 to be precise,’ said Angela. ‘So here we are to celebrate a magnificent accomplishment by a very dedicated and determined group who has finally realized that dream.’

It has been achieved with a great deal of humour and a network of hard working people for whom I have the deepest respect. Without you all, this bridge would not be.’ The ribbon for the bridge was cut by Maggie Brown, and those who had waited patiently in the teeming rain took the Two halves joined opportunity to walk the conMs Norley said it was a great struction, which spans the Caphonour to be at the opening ricornia Canal in the north of where two halves of a commu- the shire, linking east to west.

One of the stars of the international yoga scene was a recent visitor to Byron Bay. Rajashree Choudhury, wife of the inventor of Bikram Yoga, gave her trademark yoga seminars over a ten-day period on yoga and personal development. She talked to The Echo about learning yoga at age four, about her arranged marriage at 19 and subsequent move to the United States, but above all about her passion for Bikram Yoga and its many benefits. Bikram Yoga – commonly known as Hot Yoga – is a system of yoga synthesised by Bikram Choudhury from traditional yoga techniques. Popularised in the early 1970’s, it runs for approximately 90 minutes, incorporates a series of 26 postures and two breathing exercises and is ideally practised in a room heated to 40ºC. It claims to systematically stimulate and restore health to every muscle, joint and organ of the body and aims toward general wellness, the heated studio facilitating deeper stretching, injury prevention and relief from stress and tension. ‘This is my third trip to Australia’, Rajashree told The Echo, ‘and this time I’m here for Bikram. In the last seven years it has grown incredibly. It’s so nice to see so many Bikram Yoga studios so in my ten day trip I’m trying to visit as many as I can.’

cally in the context of Bikram. ‘When you are in the room and exercising it’s a unique feeling. The heat helps you to perspire and breaks down emotions. People get a fear about it and mental fear creates physical fear. The heat is a discomfort initially because you cannot breathe properly and normally. But heat has a lot of benefits. You start slowly and it’s all about feeling good. Bikram Yoga is very personalised. If you can stick with it you can see the changes in yourself. It’s mental discipline! You have to have a hard way and Bikram Yoga is like that but you become stronger.’ Rajashree was 11 when she started entering yoga competitions and ‘seriously going into training.’ She was a five-time Body and mind winner of the All-India Yoga connection Championship from 1979 to She spoke about the body 1983.

Women’s welfare and empowerment Now her mission is to help women in crisis of all ages and nationalities and runs retreats to that end. ‘It’s beautiful to empower each other’, she said, ‘We can help each other so much: spiritually, emotionally and physically. Women’s welfare and empowerment is my biggest passion right now.’ She hopes in the future to conduct a women’s retreat here in Byron Bay and meanwhile will be coordinating one in Florida in November. Apparently, as far as Bikram is concerned, 3 – 5 days a week are recommended, three to get results and five to change your life. ‘After ten classes you will see a change,’ Rajashree said,

‘Bikram Yoga is all about cardio – it’s a tremendous challenge to go through each pose and hold the balance. It’s all about raising your heart rate. You really internally work out – the heat is safe and you can’t hurt your body. Yoga, and especially Bikram Yoga, makes you fall in love with your soul, which means falling in love with yourself.’ In Byron Bay, Bikram Yoga takes place at 35 Childe Street, with classes on every day.

Questions over Byron pool’s future Eve Jeffery

The question of the ongoing viability of the Byron Bay Memorial Swimming Pool arose at last week’s council meeting. Council had voted for the funding of the pool’s stage two works totalling $146,700 in June this year but ongoing concerns for the future of the pool keep arising. Cr Ross Tucker said that as the works had been promised and started, it was important to see the action through. ‘If council wants to look at the viability of the pool then we should do that, but it is unreasonable to now walk away,’ said Cr Tucker. ‘Council has an obligation to the facility – to not only to keep it in running condition but to keep it in good condition. If we want to look at the viability we have to do it separately.’ Cr Simon Richardson is a patron of the pool and said he www.echo.net.au

would love to keep the pool going but questioned the cost. He spoke of the sensibility of funding any further work at the pool. ‘It would be poor financial management on our part if we don’t see a future for the facility.’ He suggested that the possibility of an entirely new pool at a different location might be the solution. The management of the pool also came under the spotlight, Cr Diane Woods defending the current lessee and suggesting that once the tender had been accepted, it was not council’s job to constantly complain, saying they will have their opportunity to voice their opinions when the lease comes up for renewal in June 2011. Cr Woods also commented that as it was a community facility, it needn’t necessarily be a money maker, she and Cr Tucker voicing their feeling that it needs to be a service that council provides for the public. ‘It is a good venue for fitness and health,’ said Cr

Woods. ‘Not everyone wants to swim in the ocean,’ Cr Tucker agreed. Cr Richard Staples suggested that the pool should be now looked at as three separate businesses as areas of the complex were quite profitable. ‘What was once a kiosk selling Paddlepops, is now a full restaurant,’ he said. ‘but the pool has a potential to be a white elephant.’ In the end council voted for continuing the stage two works and noted the proposed stage three works necessary to maintain reliable swimming pool operations and the indicative costs of those works. In a foreshadowed motion, it was resolved that council receive a report on ongoing financial and operational sustainability including profit and loss statements of the pool, to inform the future tender process, including the options for separate tenders for the pool, kiosk and restaurant. <echowebsection=Local News>

Local News Book donations sought for Mullum High NRSDC welcomes homeless plan Photo & story Eve Jeffery

The Northern Rivers Social Development Council (NRSDC) has welcomed the release of the North Coast Homelessness Action Plan. The Australian and the NSW governments funded the plan through the National Partnership Agreement on Homelessness.  According to NRSDC president Tony Dreise, the longawaited plan provides a blueprint for real action to address the homelessness crisis on the north coast. ‘Rates of homelessness on the north coast are significantly higher than the rest of the state,’ Mr Dreise said. ‘In some areas the figures

A Mullumbimby High School teacher has come up with a great idea to help students steer their way through the year eleven advanced English course. James Clarke is the relieving head teacher of English at Mullum and he has devised a program in the hopes of beginning a dialogue between the community and the students of the school.’ ‘Having lived in Mullumbimby for most of my life, I realise that we have a very vibrant arts community, especially in the literary field,’ says James. ‘However, I sometimes feel that the community is failing to realise and appreciate the amazingly gifted students, especially writers, that Mullum High generates each year.

are astounding. For example in Byron Shire alone, there were 365 homeless households during the last census. ‘Through this plan, the state and federal governments will be investing almost $4 million per year for three years in new services for homeless people.’ The North Coast Homeless Action Plan aims by 2013 to reduce overall homelessness by seven per cent, reduce the number of people sleeping rough by 25 per cent and reduce Aboriginal homelessness by 33 per cent. To help achieve these aims the plan is to build 1,000 new social housing dwellings by 2014. Data from the 2006 Census

indicate that 15 per cent of primary homelessness in NSW is recorded in the Northern Rivers yet the region has less than four per cent of the State’s population. According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, the overall rate of homelessness in the region is 62 persons per 10,000 persons compared to 42 per 10,000 for NSW as a whole. On the north coast the rate of Indigenous homelessness is 139 per 10,000 persons compared to 59 per 10,000 persons for non indigenous. The full plan can be downloaded from www.housing.nsw.gov.au/About+Us/ Reports+Plans+and+Papers/

Vigil remembers those lost to mental health

Books with meaning ‘In 2009, year 12 student Danny Nicholls won the Marsden prize. This is simply the tip of the iceberg, with this year’s students, in our eyes, even more gifted.’ Mr Clarke says that the idea is that this year’s Year 10 students who are taking Advanced English next year, be given books that have meaning in the donor’s life. He is hoping to receive books on the concept of journeys, either physical, emotional or spiritual. ‘I would like community members to donate a book that they believe has had a dramatic impact on their lives and insert in the book, an explanation of why it had meaning for them.

Any student reading a donated book, will be asked to write an essay, which will then be passed on to the donor in the hopes they will feel like they have had a connection with the student.’ Plans are underway for a box to be built to house the collection and Mr Clarke hopes to see books arrive at the school in the next few weeks.’

To bubbler, or not to bubbler. That was the questions when council spent an hour discussing the merits of drink fountains during last Thursday’s ordinary meeting.

Bubbler debate A motion was put forward to supply certain public areas in the shire with water for direct sipping or bottle filling and debate was lively. Cr Staples recalled memories of bubblers that both ‘dribbled and geysered’ and the waste in summer, waiting for the water to cool to a drinkable temperature.

Cr Tucker said he would like to see free bubblers but questioned a budget alloction for them. It was established that once the bubblers were installed the cost of the water would come out of the general fund and the maintenance would be included in the current parks funds. The subject of possible vandalism was answered by the fact that current bubbler designs make them vandal proof. Councillors voted to investigate the proposal further.

He passed through the shire last week with nothing but the 20kg pack on his back, the clothes he was in and his trusty downhill skateboard. Romain is doing this for a very good reason – it’s because he really wants to do it. He has no backup or assistance and has already skated across Spain, Japan, Italy, France, Holland and Denmark.

Big Byron turnout remembers Merv

Despite Crs Barham and Cameron voting against it, Motion No. 8.7 for Basic Maintenance in Byron Bay was resolved by council at last Thursday’s general meeting. The motion states that Council will work with community groups across the Shire such as Byron Youth Service (BYS), landholders, lessees, Chambers of Commerce, Progress

<echowebsection=Local News>

Associations, and the Public Art Policy PRG to develop appropriate mural art to resolve tagging on public and private buildings. It also stated that possible mural designs and themes be discussed with Council and relevant Chambers of Commerce and community groups prior to painting. Council will also specifi-

cally facilitate discussions between landholders and lessees to resolve maintenance and possible compliance issues surrounding garbage bins, tagging and signage at the Jonson Street north car park at the entrance to Byron Bay. The motion was put forward by Crs Morrisey and Woods with the support of Byron United.

Comment

Timid runners stumble to the line Volume 25 #11

August 17, 2010

Independent truths Richmond is no longer a marginal seat. In 2007, ALP primary votes tallied 43.8 per cent, the Nationals 37 per cent and the Greens 14.9 per cent. Back then there were only four minor party candidates. Except for the Democrats, most were religious and/or right wing – this time we have a much more sophisticated free-thinking group of independents, albeit all similar in ideology. By comparison, Justine Elliot of the ALP doesn’t say or do much, which is a wise move given that this is a safe seat for her. In 2004, Elliot beat Larry Anthony (Nationals) by a margin of only 301 preferred votes. In 2007 there was a national mood for change and she delivered a swing of over seven per cent to the ALP. It is hard, however, to write a glowing account of her achievements. Failure to deliver a light rail system – despite explicit promises – continues to highlight how underfunded our region is. The federal government just gave Queensland a huge financial boost for rail infrastructure, but Ms Elliot doesn’t seem to have the political clout to make it happen here. Joan van Lieshout of the Liberals was pushed out of her gig as mayor of Tweed by her council ‘colleagues’ last year. In the bigger pond of national politics it is likely her influence would be even less effective. Since the Libs didn’t run a candidate last election, she may pick up some elderly conservative support. Like the Nationals, her campaign has appeal for those knocking on death’s door, but very little in the way of a youthful or progressive outlook. Considering what the demographics are in Richmond this may be clever politics, which is surprising because she doesn’t appear that bright. Alan Hunter of the Nationals is a nice chap by all accounts, however like the LIberals he is attached to policies and ideology that offer future generations of this country nothing. Nothing. As with most politicans aligned with conservative parties, he is more progressive than his party in terms of climate change and farming practices. Joe Ebono of the Greens will no doubt poll comparatively strongly, given that the folks who live in the immediate area are generally engaged in the political process and understand complex geopolitical and social issues. Both Gillard and Abbott don’t want to debate Bob Brown. One can only assume this is because of their concern for losing political ground, which highlights why two parties offering little variation in policy keeps stunting the growth of a nation. If you don’t capture four per cent of the vote, then the $500 it costs to climb into the political arena is not refunded. Thank you Nic Faulkner, Stephen Hegedus, Matt Hartley, David Robinson (Democrats) and Julie Boyd. It is those who have little hope of winning who can speak more freely. More importantly, they can highlight and examine issues without party approval or retribution. In other words, they can be more truthful. As mentioned, Richmond is not likely to change sides in this election. What changes the political sheets in this country is a few thousand swinging voters in marginal seats. It is their often short-sighted and ill-conceived views that both sides of parliament believe they have to flatter. Until that fundamental problem can be addressed, our politicians will continue to lead by opinion poll and govern by focus groups. Hans Lovejoy – Acting Editor

O

nce again the campaign is exciting – not because of the depth, brilliance or unpredictability of the players, but simply because it is close. At the start of the final week, it remains anyone’s race. On the latest polls, the government should scrape home. But everything depends on a handful of marginal seats, particularly in Queensland. If Labor can hold its losses in the Sunshine State to around seven, Julia Gillard will fall over the line. If the figure reaches ten, Tony Abbott has pulled off an improbable victory. It is not clear why Labor is so badly on the nose north of the Tweed, but the consistent polling cannot be denied, and at this late stage it appears that the desperation tactic of bringing Kevin Rudd back into the field has failed. One way or another, his reappearance seems only to have reminded people why they turned against Labor in the first place. And this is the last great unanswered question of a lacklustre campaign. At a time when Australia, alone among the developed nations, has dodged a global economic crisis and emerged with low unemployment, inflation under control and interest rates still well below their historical levels, why is the government teetering on the verge of losing office after less than three years? Okay, the dropping of key policies and the change of leadership didn’t help; but given that, the alternative is, to put it mildly, a bit of a risk and Australian voters are notoriously risk averse. Indeed the whole campaign from both sides has been based on avoiding risk; the staging, the timidity and the lack of any hint of action that could raise the electorate’s pulse rate has

been its chief characteristic. There have been no big game breakers like climate change and WorkChoices were in 2007; the nearest example has been national broadband, and that emerged too late and too technical to fill the gap. Instead, it has been tit for tat handouts and slaps and the last few days look like providing more of the same: a final rain of pork in the marginals, an eye-glazing argument about costings and

Institute in my neighbouring electorate of Page, so I went along to watch. The prime minister was late, but the hacks who were following her on the campaign trail were used to that. It had not, one veteran confessed, been a jolly four weeks – not nearly as much fun as it had been with Kevin Rudd, three years earlier. But the mood on the bus was reasonably upbeat. More so, it turned out,

At a time when Australia has dodged a global economic crisis why is the government teetering on the verge of losing office? by Mungo MacCallum a ramped-up scare about boat people. In the desperate hope that I had been missing something by keeping my distance, last weekend I briefly joined the circus following the Prime Minister. Gillard had announced a real policy on climate change – well, as real as a policy which did not put a price on carbon could be. It attempted to control the level of carbon emissions by allowing farmers to verify and receive credits for any measures they took which would lessen emissions and then trade the credits for real money on the international market. In Abbott’s version the government would pick the winners and the Australian taxpayers would foot the bill; in Gillard’s it would be run independently and paid for by international polluters. It was a vast improvement, a policy worth spruiking, and she conveniently chose to spruik it at the Wollongbar Agricultural

among the camera crews than the journos; more than ever, the campaign was all about television events. The forthcoming announcement that farmers would be able to claim carbon credits for measures they took on their properties and then trade them on the international market for real money had appeared in the morning papers and was running on radio, but it would not be real until there were pictures to go with it. Thus Gillard, together with Climate Change Minister Penny Wong and Agriculture Minister Tony Burke – a ministerial triptych – were delivered to a paddock whose rural tranquillity was disturbed only by the roar of traffic on the adjacent highway and a barking dog, presumably of National Party tendencies. A group of cows was mustered for the occasion; the Prime Minister, resplendent in jeans and cowboy boots, resisted the temptation to inquire if they

were mooooving forward. She chatted to the farm workers, had a cup of tea and ate quite a lot of blueberries supplied by a local admirer. Finally, after all traces of bullshit had been removed from camera range, she made the big announcement and settled down to the usual questions from the youngish press pack – the heavies had by now bailed out to pontificate. The hacks were a lot more friendly than I remembered them being with Rudd, and it was all pretty low key. The prime minister was content to be simply Julia, real or not. She appeared in good spirits, cool and controlled, and there was never any risk that she would lose the script. But somehow it was a bit of a letdown; I had been hoping for more passion. But then, I had been hoping for a bit more passion for the last four weeks, and indeed for quite a long time before that. And this, I feel, is the heart of the problem: if the politicians present themselves as nothing more than glorified accountants, people who refuse to raise their eyes above the bottom line, who never dare to dream and pour scorn on those who do as impractical fools unfit to take part in modern politics then we, the voters, will follow suit. If they tell us they care about the future but show neither vision nor emotion about it, why should we care any more than they do? We vote without enthusiasm or conviction, and often in the belief that whatever we do will make no real difference; that the ritual is no longer worthwhile. And when we, the people, reject the democratic process, the very spirit of the nation withers and dies. And that, my friends, is the story of the double disillusion election of 2010.

Appealing decision Having been convicted in the Local Court by Magistrate Dakin for spraying the words ‘trespassing’ on Woolworths builder’s shipping container that was parked on public land, I successfully appealed Magistrate Dakin’s judgement that Section 10 of the Crimes Act was not appropriate and the severity of that conviction in the Lismore District Court last Wednesday. Section 10 enables first time offenders of good character a reprieve for a minor offence. District Court Judge, His Honour James Black QC, read through all the documentation as presented in the Local Court and said this is a typical case where Section 10 does apply. In overruling the conviction His Honour stated to this ef-

fect: ‘Mr Scott’s action was an emotional outburst from a man of good character and no previous record. Mr Scott has apologised and offered to have the graffiti removed from the shipping container.’ He made eye contact with me and with a bit of a chuckle and a shared smile he said, ‘Now you only get one of these.’ My solicitor said it was the fastest appeal he had ever seen. Normally my solicitor would have had to present my case and I would be questioned under oath by my solicitor, crown prosecutor and the judge should he wish. None of this happened, and the appeal was not opposed by the prosecutor. The original police report stated, ‘All parties involved in the development project are

ness (who then dictate policy) just don’t get it. Fortunately in the Richmond electorate we have better choices. There are several independents who have put their hand up to serve the people. If you want to send a strong message to the major parties that you’re not happy with the way our country is being run, vote 1 for an independent, and put the major parties last. Doing this will also add value to your vote as it will be counted several times. Remember to number every square, or your vote won’t count. It’s about time we got a fair go in this electorate. Louise Doran

Ocean Shores Q Our

politicians are like our sausages – we sleep better at night not knowing how they are made. Yes, here we are, a lost needy society floundering in an ocean of ignorance, greed, and grog. Its citizens, wrapped in mediocrity, fear and spin, whinge and beg, having given their own power away for a spoonfed half life where little needs to be done and everything is wanted – for a while – and promised by the ugly politician who divides and rules us with laws passed at midnight that steal that last spark of humanity and empathy that might remain. Can we ever acknowledge and rid our own selves of these monuments to ignorance and assumption, and not be led by ugly minds in talking heads who need us to be so ‘ordinary’, needy and fearful? Let’s not be ordinary in these extraordinary times, when ignorance votes for its keeper, and wisdom sleeps dreaming of a better day. This Earth sorely

concerned that ongoing property damage may become the focus of protest actions.’ I would suggest, like the over the top fencing/fortification of Mullum, Magistrate Dakin acted out of fear that civil unrest was likely in Mullumbimby and with the belief he needed to make an example of me. I note the Harold Ross/Tucker rag the other week thought it ridiculous that I was appealing my conviction and questioned on what grounds, so I hope this might make it a little clearer for them.

Byron Bay Q How is it that sitting members are able to take out endless full page, nauseating adverts week after week and stuff our letterboxes full of very expensive glossy brochures, as compared to their challengers? Incredibly, it’s because we are paying for their reelection via their taxpayer funded ‘communication allowance’. Yes, they have their hands deep, deep in our pockets for their personal benefit and most of us don’t even know it. The catch is that they have to use up our money as fast as they can because after their party has its formal launch they have to start to use their own money! Cute, isn’t it? And you wondered why all these formal launches all happened so late in the campaign. By the way, has anyone actually seen Justine Elliot this end of the Richmond electorate? Does Justine Elliot actually exist? Maybe that wasn’t just a makeover when she hit Canberra. It actually is a different person we see bobbing around on TV. Maybe we should all keep one of those expensive brochures we paid for in our pockets just in case we run across a look-alike in the street.

While the team of the Northern Rivers Writers’ Centre continues to monitor feedback, finalise operations and marvel at the contents of the lost property box, the warm spirit of celebration with which the Festival was received lives on. All who spent weeks after last year’s event spitting out woodchips and combing the dust from their hair will have rejoiced mightily at the Festival’s return to the hallowed ground at NorthBeach.

scenes and I am indebted to you all. Huge thanks to those participants and suppliers who answered our eleventh hour calls for help and performed so superbly with minimal notice. One of the NRWC members has spoken of the Byron Bay Writers Festival as resembling a community that comes together for a short period of time for a huge party and celebration of ideas. My thoughts go to the writers identified by PEN who are unable to join our community. An indelible Festival memory for me will be the sight of those decorated PEN chairs, silent witnesses. Thank you to those who bid in the auction. It has been my privilege to immerse myself in the world of writing and at this point my head is swimming with fragments of phrases and snippets of conversations. My teetering pile of must-read books is taller than it was six months ago. I am grateful to everyone who has worked with me through this and preceding Festivals. As I prepare to leave the directorship, I know the Byron Bay Writers Festival is in robust health: the best is yet to come.

Q Well done the NIMBY agitators who managed to get the Splendour in the Grass festival deferred for a year under a smokescreen of environmental waffle. So in the doldrums of winter when the town is quietest, several million dollars were turned down for the businesses of the Bay and heaps of little part-time jobs were lost to the locals. What a shame, what blinkered vision. Byron Bay is a festival town, it always has been a part of the character of the place, but we still get these people who want nothing to happen and no-one to visit. Unbelievable isn’t it! Really, they could just move somewhere sleepy and peaceful and merge with the paddocks if that’s what they want. But could they please go and do it somewhere else? We like our rich assortment of festivals and when a bunch of local people with the integrity of the Splendour mob attempt a really good venue and festival as successful as this we should be grateful and Jeni Caffin applaud! Viva Splendour, viva Director Yelgun! Please come home to Northern Rivers the Shire. Several festivals a Writers’ Centre now with so much attention on mental health treatment.

Pros and cons of Splendour

John Campbell has done it again, given us an almost entirely negative appraisal of what I and others found a really lovely Australian film: South Solitary. It’s not a blockbuster, just very appealing: well-acted, particularly by Miranda Otto but also others, beautifully filmed (which John almost admits) and with a somewhat bizarre but interesting and, in my opinion, ultimately satisfying plot. While John claims not to understand why Meredith (Miranda) would have accompanied her uncle (Barry) to the Island, it became clear to me and I suggest anyone else paying attention. As for his claim that at one point the plot falls apart and is ‘sacrificed in the pursuit of profundity’, not so; it’s obvious that John just didn’t like the actual plot. And, sadly, he also appears to have missed the humour. If I have a criticism it is that the uncle’s character is a little too extreme and unsympathetic but he’s not around for long and I won’t go on. I’m writing this in case there are some out there who take John’s reviews as gospeI; I don’t like to

Lift the ban on the sewer connection Council will vote next week on the future of who will pay for the new sewerage treatment plant (STP) for Mullumbimby and Brunswick Heads. Will it be the developers, or will it be the ratepayers? The STP, built to treat the sewage from both existing and future development in Mullumbimby and Brunswick Heads, costs $40 million to construct. It took ten years to come to fruition, so the experts have had lots of time to get it right, but now it looks like the ratepayers are going to foot the bill instead of the developers. Council does not have $40 million – it only has $10 million, so who is going to pay off the $30 million that currently falls as a debt upon the ratepayers? At the moment, the answer is: the ratepayers, but that can change at the meeting

of Council next week. Last year, the councillors voted to not allow any new development to connect to the STP when it is done. How did this happen? If the new STP is designed to take load from new development and is supposed to be paid for by new development, then why are the ratepayers footing the bill instead of the developers? Before the vote last year, Council funded sewer experts Aurecon to prepare a report on the expected performance of the new STP. Aurecon advised that there are no environmental consequences of allowing new development to connect to the new STP when it is turned on. But what happened is that the councillors, who know nothing about sewer system matters, chose to ignore Aurecon’s advice and have

until now voted to leave the moratorium in place. This may prevent small developments from proceeding, but my understanding is that both Woolies and Tallowood Ridge have now succeeded in getting around the blockade by providing their own STPs. We need the housing, so what are the forces at work here? Who is being damaged by the vote last year (which made sense when trying to stop Woolies, but no longer)? Us, the ratepayers, that’s who, unless Council votes to lift the ban at the meeting next week. There is no longer any good reason to prevent connection to this STP, when it is ready. Council’s own report confirms that the capacity of the new STP will suffice until 2017 even if nothing is done to reduce excess inflows.

The interest alone on the money borrowed is $1.5 million dollars per year, with no end in sight at present. Imagine all the things we could do to improve the Shire with an extra $1.5 million to spend each year! Council has no option but to use ratepayer dollars for years to come to pay off the $30 million loan. The sooner that funds are accepted for development, the sooner the loan will be paid off and the $1.5 million per year can be put to better use. I urge you to write to each councilor encouraging them to vote next week to lift the ban so we can spend the $1.5 million each year of ratepayers’ money in more useful and productive ways instead of giving it to the bank!

ing in Russia. The planet is telling us – as if we should really need telling – that enough is enough. No less devastating than these highly publicised disasters was a freak storm that recently hit Ladakh, or ‘Little Tibet’, a high-altitude desert land in the western Himalayas. The violent rains gave rise to massive mudslides, wiping out whole communities in a matter of minutes. As I write this, almost 200 people have lost their lives, with many hundreds more still unaccounted for, feared dead. My wife, Helena NorbergHodge, and I have been working in Ladakh for the last 35 years, helping the Ladakhi people to maintain their cultural identity and ecological integrity in the face of economic globalisation. Helena was in Ladakh at the time of the storm, one valley away from the epicentre of destruction. She is still there now, doing what she can to help with the relief effort. Official records will no doubt put this down as a ‘natural disaster’. But labelling it in such a way would misleading, if not downright wrong. There is no historical precedent for storms of this intensity (two ninety year-old Ladakhis told Helena that they have never experienced anything remotely like it in their lifetimes, nor heard stories of such things from their parents or grandparents). On the other hand, it is precisely the sort of extreme ‘weather event’ that climate scientists have been warning us about for years. What’s more, the people who suffered the worst consequences of the storms were overwhelmingly ‘economic refugees’ – once self-reliant farmers who in recent years have been pulled away from rural villages by the pressures of the new global economy onto marginal land, unsuit-

able for habitation, on the edge of Leh, Ladakh’s capital. Had the storms occurred twentyfive years ago, when Ladakh’s economy was more decentralised, the loss of life would have been minimal. Not so much a natural disaster, then; more a disaster of ‘growth-at-any-cost’ economic thinking divorced from the real needs of people and the planet. Tragedies such as this only intensify the need for a fundamental re-think of economic development, of the whole concept of ‘progress’. More immediately, though, there are scores of families in Ladakh who have lost their homes, their loved ones, their livelihoods. They urgently need our help. Our organisation, The International Society for Ecology and Culture, has set up a Flood Relief Fund, which will get money directly to those worst affected. For details, go to www. isec.org.uk/pages/ladakh-relief-fund.html. Please think of making a donation. Any contribution, however small, will make a real difference.

we support and attend almost anything that we perceive is good for our Shire, our planet, or us. We have been more active in defending the integrity of our community and the values and diversity of our environment than most Shires could dream. I do not believe that the spirit of community we have in this Shire simply evolved inevitably or by accident – it was because people stood up and dedicated themselves to create and protect the reality we have. Our Shire is entering a most crucial and volatile period in its history. The developers influences on state government policies are increasing, the pressures on community groups are increasing, the threats to locally owned businesses are increasing and the difficulties in buying a home and raising a family in this Shire are increasing. Our Shire needs the next wave of givers: leaders, doers, and volunteers to step forward. Some of our community leaders are either winding down after twenty/thirty years, looking for consistent help,, or clouded by a frustration that comes from being too close to an issue for too long, which dilutes their effectiveness. I applaud our longstanding community leaders, they have been prepared to commit time, energy, vision and passion. We should also be prepared to get involved ourselves. The Greens are looking for new, fresh blood, Byron United and other chambers of commerce are looking for more members to stand up and take leadership positions, environmental repair groups would welcome new faces, some local hall committees are withering due to too few doing too much. Whether your interests lay in politics, business, environmental protection and repair,

social groups, emotional and mental support groups, youth based organisations or sporting groups- do not think that because you have only been here for two, five or ten years you are not worthy. You are and your Shire needs you. The winds of change are blowing. Is the next generation of leaders ready to meet it with commitment, action and vision?

New leaders needed The community that exists in our Shire is special. It is not so much the ‘my family and my neighbours have lived here for one hundred years’ type of community – it is a community created, not by time, but by action. The Shire is unique, not due to simply having great beaches, green hills and a mountain at which to look as these occur elsewhere. No, it is unique because people have made it so. It has not happened by accident, but rather because members of our community have made it so. We volunteer way above State averages, we attend and support festivals, workshops, seminars, in fact,

Joan van Lieshout, Liberal Party candidate for Richmond, is a mother of four and a grandmother of two. She is currently a Tweed Shire councillor and is extremely interested in the issues of aged care policy, sustainable agriculture that creates employment and youth and family issues. Joan van Lieshout will stand up for what matters to the people of Richmond and will stand up for real action locally. The Liberals plans for education, for instance, involve recognising that school communities know what they need, better than someone at a desk, thousands of km away. Under the Liberals plan, public schools would be able to have the same opportunity to direct their funding as the private schools have been able to do, with a much better value for money result. Schools that are able to save money will be allowed to keep it, to spend as the school community wants to, instead of having to give it to the governmentt, as now under Labor. Local tradesmen are far more likely to get some of the work, and we will give a much better overall result. That’s just one example of how a Liberal government would stop the waste, that will only lead to even more government borrowing and higher interest rates in the future. A full range of our policies can be found at votejoan.com. au

I have lived on the North Coast for twenty years, and live at Fingal Head with my husband and two children. Before becoming an MP, I was a Police Officer and a Juvenile Justice Convenor, and was involved in a number of community groups. I am proud to be a part of Julia Gillard’s team, and to continue delivering for the people of the North Coast. A strong community starts with a strong economy, and a Gillard Government will bring the budget to surplus by 2012-13. I will fight to protect the rights of North Coast workers and their families, and fight to deliver the health, hospital and education services our community needs. Health services are vital for families, and the Gillard Labor Government is taking decisive action to reform our health and hospital system. I am committed to securing the best health services for the North Coast.  Every child deserves a quality education, and I am committed to making sure all of our local children have access to the best education and educational facilities. In contrast, Tony Abbott will take Australia backwards with his cuts to health and education, and take us back to the worst aspects of WorkChoices. www.alp.org.au

Matthew Hartley has lived in Byron Bay for almost 20 years. His main efforts during that time have been dedicated to alternative health , community activism, economic and social analysis, and the arts. Since 1983 he has closely observed the development of ‘economic reform’ through daily monitoring of the press, and opposes the reliance on interest rates as the primary tool of economic policy. This is because low-spending mortgage paying households get punished for the spending of others. It is unjust and ineffective. He opposes immigration as a means to population growth, for economic, ecological and social reasons. He sees rainforest expansion, Permaculture and Natural Sequence Farming as the way forward for Australia’s land management, and considers expansion of natural habitat far more urgent than expanded human population. All species have rights. He sees the key to the future of this region being the integration of health, education and agriculture sectors, with reafforestation as the primary land use priority. He has explained repeatedly that the ‘costs’ of zero-emission technologies are more than compensated for by the savings in fuel use, and will in reality deliver cheaper energy in the long term.

I joined the Australian Democrats because I respected their level policies on very serious issues like voluntary euthanasia, separation of church and State, women and men’s health, climate change with a real Emission Trading Scheme and many others. All policies are publicly available on our website. The Democrats are a grass roots organisation, any member can become part of a policy working group and create policy to be voted on. All discussion is archived, allowing members to see how a policy came about. For me the Democrats are perfectly balanced, with evidence and scientifically based reasoning. Which is why, after much research, I decided to join. The old catch phrase Keep the Bastards Honest also helped. We as Democrats are here because you deserve better. You deserve a party and representatives that want to work with other representatives to achieve good outcomes. We are not here to argue or attack others in Question Time for raising fair questions, we want to get down to the business of keeping Australia the best place on Earth, personal opinion. I ask for your 1 vote in the Senate and House of Representatives. www.democrats.org.au/ about/objectives.php

Julia ‘Rudd’ and Tony ‘Howard’ have got all the answers between them. Plenty of answers, but very few solutions. Plastic smiles, kissing babies, throwaway lines, over and over. The big media, mining and corporations hold all the power, evident in Rudd’s and Howards demise, but just check the profits of these guys, so who benefits, the Australian people? We have a dysfunctional Federal, State and Local Government, two party, Westminster adversarial system, which can never solve these issues, until we move towards consensus government. We propose commonsense solutions for Australia: Abolishing the States and creating 94 regional Assemblies based on water catchment areas. New Central Bank of the Commonwealth, 3% fixed interest, stop offshore debt. Simplify Tax system, 1 tax only Electronic Expenditure Tax. Uniform laws and licensing across Australia. Pensions to be livable, moral. Integrated National, Regional rail system. Will of the People Project, electronic voting on local, national, international issues. Environmental, Society and Economy in that order when addressing developement proposals.

Like many others in the region, Alan Hunter and his wife Pauline moved to the north coast as a lifestyle choice. Alan ran a business supplying stock feed to the area for many years, and liked it so much that he bought a small property in the Byron hinterland where he and Pauline settled in 2004. Alan is passionate about the future of the north coast, and has been a driving force in the modernisation of The Nationals to better represent the interests of the new generation in our region. In 2008 he chaired a review of the party that initiated sweeping reform of the party’s structure and attitudes. He sees the Nationals as the only party that can deliver for regional communities like ours – because it is the only party not dominated by urban interests. Alan is a keen environmentalist who isn’t afraid to pitch in and get his hands dirty for a good cause. He and Pauline are in the process of restoring a large section of their property to its natural state, involving many hours of tree planting and weed control. Most importantly Alan is the proud father of two daughters who are starting families of their own. He wants our children to have a healthy and prosperous future in what he thinks is one of the best places on the planet. www.nationals.org.au

Julie Boyd Independent

Joe Ebono The Greens

Stephen Hegedus Independent

Julie Boyd is a Hastings Point (Tweed Coast) based international educational consultant and community advocate. Julie has a strong sense of justice and fairness, and is offering a genuinely Independent ‘Community candidacy’. She is able to knowledgeably and competently represent the many facets of community that make up the Richmond electorate. Julie has a thirty year professional career spanning all levels of education, marine science, family and organisational development, indigenous learning , psychology, publishing and leadership of both small and big business. Julie is deeply concerned about the following issues in this area: a. Community, individual, family and organisational wellness and health – mental, emotional, physical, dental. b. Public infrastructure including transport, public services. c. Ageing and quality of life, particularly for older women. d. Population, economy, employment, and affordable housing. e. Climate change and energy. f. Education for societal transitions. Everyone is invited to visit Julie’s websites: http://julieboydrichmond.wordpress.com and www.julieboyd.com.au for policies and responses.

Joe Ebono has been active in the local community, broadcasting on community radio, promoting local sustainable businesses through his writing and his websites and honing his presentation skills through Toastmasters, standup comedy and pantomime. His commitment to a sustainable future brought him to the Northern Rivers in 2005 where the local population leads the way in developing alternative energy, agriculture and lifestyle. He stood for Federal Parliament in 2007, earning 15.1 per cent of the primary vote. Twelve thousand people voted Green, many of them for the first time. This dissatisfaction with the major parties has deepened in the last three years as the Labor Party has delayed on Climate Change, broken its promise on the railway and generally avoided the real problems facing this region and the entire country. The Greens vision is for a robust vibrant economy based on renewable energy, sustainable agriculture and management of our water and soil for the long term future instead of short term gain. Mr Ebono said that the local members had decided not to issue how to vote cards directing preferences to the Labor Party because The Greens are mature and big enough to stand on their own two feet. www.joe4richmond.org

Local lawyer Stephen Hegedus says the ALP and coalition are too focused on winning power at the expense of genuine policy development and longterm commitment to infrastructure planning. ‘I’d like to see more consensus building in Parliament. I’d like to see policy initiatives developed with genuine bi-partisan support,’ Mr Hegedus said. A former barrister who has also worked as a native title lawyer in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, Mr. Hegedus has strived to keep the election clean. He hit the headlines during this campaign when his complaint to the AEC and subsequent press coverage in the Sydney Morning Herald led to the Liberal Party cancelling a potentially misleading Google Advertising campaign. When Internet users typed Mr. Hegedus’s name into the Google search engine, they were greeted by a Liberal party advertisement that gave ave several voters the impression sion he had endorsed the party. y. ‘I was bemused by their heir strategy with this type of advertising,’ he said. ‘It caused aused a great deal of confusion n in the electorate and I’m glad ad I had a hand in shutting it down nationwide.’ Mr Hegedus is a strong advocate for Indigenous rights ghts and reconciliation, and plans ns to address this issue at the candindidates’ debate on Thursday. www.stephenhegedus.org

How to complete your ballot paper

Working the digital room

House of Representatives

Michael McDonald

To make a formal vote on a House of Representatives ballot paper, a voter must number every box with a series of consecutive numbers according to their preference. A voter must: t XSJUF UIF OVNCFS ŝ JO UIF box beside the candidate who is their first choice, t XSJUF UIF OVNCFS Ş JO UIF box beside the candidate who is their second choice, t XSJUF UIF OVNCFS ş JO UIF box beside the candidate who is their third choice, and so on until they have numbered every box. Under the preferential voting system, if your first choice is not elected, then your preference will be given to your second choice and flow on until one of your choices is elected. Your ballot paper will not be included in the vote count if it is blank or unmarked, ticks or crosses have been used, it has writing on it which identifies the voter, a number is repeated, or if the voter’s intention is not clear. If a House of Representatives ballot paper has all squares numbered but one then it is assumed that the unmarked square constitutes the last preference and the ballot paper will be deemed formal.

Left, a House of Representatives ballot paper and above, a Senate ballot paper. (They’re actually bigger.)

The Senate The ballot paper is divided into two sections. Voters have a choice of two methods when voting for Senators. Above the line: a voter may vote for a political party or group by putting the number ‘1’ in one box only above the black line. The rest of the ballot paper will be left blank. By casting a vote this way, voters are allowing the order of their preference to be determined by the party or group they are voting for. If you want to follow a particular group’s

voting ‘ticket’, a booklet can be viewed at a local polling place. The group voting ticket clearly shows the order in which the party or group will allocate a voter’s preferences, or votes. Below the line: a voter can choose to fill in every box below the line in the order of their preference by putting the number ‘1’ in the box of the candidate they want as their first choice, number ‘2’ in the box of the candidate they want as their second choice, and so on until all the boxes have been numbered. The top part of the ballot paper will be left blank. If a voter chooses to vote below the line, they must number every box. Note: Polling officials at the polling place can assist you in completing your ballot paper. If you make a mistake on a ballot paper you may return it to the polling official who issued it to you and receive a fresh one. See more information at www.aec.gov.au/Voting/

The cult of the personality reigns supreme in cyberspace. Ben Elton summarised the emptiness of it all in his novel Blind Faith. Nevertheless, people are influenced by ‘social media’ such as Facebook and Twitter. The spin doctors are onto it and are urging their political charges, many of whom wouldn’t know a megabyte from a muffin, to smile and shake digital hands. Out here in the sticks the politicians still indulge in oldfashioned methods of communication like real handshakes, but some have taken up the challenge of Facebook. Among the Richmond candidates, I was able to find five runners who have adapted to the digital environment with varying degrees of success. The person with the most friends, the sure sign of worthiness, is independent Stephen Hegedus. He has 202 mates, including the mysterious Melbourne artist Tony Tony Fatstacks. Most of them are gorgeous young things, another marker of success. Dressed as a scuba diver in his profile photo, Hegedus also describes himself as an ‘anarcho-primitivist’, which must go down well in his career as a lawyer, if not at doof parties.

Next in the popularity stakes is Greens’ Joe Ebono, an old hand at the internet – he who dies with the most websites wins. Ebono has 65 friends and describes himself as a Knight of the Jedi under ‘religious views’. The Knights are one of the most popular nonreligious religious groups the Australian Bureau of Statistics refuses to recognise (ABS Cat. No. 1266.0). Liberals hopeful Joan van Lieshout has two FB pages, one personal, one political. Her political page is ‘liked’ by 28 punters. Her profile photo shows her shaking hands with a RL (Real Life) old codger in an actual street. Her Favourite Page is the Sydney Dance Company Studios – perhaps there is an anarcho-primitivist terpsichorean struggling to get out. To find Democrats candidate David Robinson, you must

look under ‘Alstonville Poultry Farm’. He is pictured with a very fetching free range chook, and has 24 friends. You’ll have to add him as a friend if you want more information. Labor’s Justine Elliot has only four people liking her page and her profile photo is the standard FB generic placemarker. A bit sad – her minders must have fallen asleep at the computer after the pizza carbonara with extra cheese. By comparison, Justine Elliott from Kamloops, British Columbia, has 254 friends and obviously knows how to party. Our very own Mandy Nolan IBT BO BTUPOJTIJOH ŤŢş GSJFOET but, as she has frequently remarked, she’s anybody’s. Q .JDIBFM .D%POBME IBT şť friends but is trying to redirect them all to Tony Tony Fatstacks.

EARLY VOTING AND POLLING PLACES EARLY VOTING: Early voting in person (also known as a pre-poll vote) will be available until Friday August 20. Voters can find the location and individual operating hours of the nearest early voting centre at www.aec.gov.au or call the AEC on 13 23 26. Postal vote application forms are also available on the website, can be picked up at any AEC office or Australia Post outlet, or voters can get one sent to them by calling 13 23 26. According to the AEC, it is important that voters apply early for a postal vote to ensure there is time to deliver the ballot papers and for voters to return them. POLLING PLACES IN BYRON SHIRE: All polling places are open from 8am to 6pm. All have assisted wheelchair access except where indicated otherwise.

When too many chickens is never enough Our award for most appealing and unusual campaign combo goes to Alstonville poultry farmer and Democrats candidate David Robinson for this photo of his new Toyota Prius accompanied by some of his free range chickens. Robinson intends to modify the car for chicken delivery. ‘I didn’t want to try to get media attention by attacking anyone else’s policy or ideas,’ he says. I had to find another way to demonstrate my views on small business and Environmental skills. I decided to show off a personal project that I have been working on.’ 16 August 17, 2010 The Byron Shire Echo

will eat up everything. Any exponential growth on Earth will meet limits. If anyone promotes this growth, how will they recognise the moment before reaching that halfway point in depleting the resources that sustained this same growth? How much growth can any habitat (or infrastructure or city) accommodate and still function? What point is clearly marked as too much? What decides that point?

The upcoming election added urgency to talk throughout the recent Byron Bay Writers Festival. I listened to writers of both nonfiction and fiction use their own works to counter the talk of political leaders and their policies. Media commentators brought in other perspectives. Between sessions, everyone around me had another story. How to make sense of all the clamour? Separating the meaning from the spin is a Geoengineering: an old good start.

And twenty four years after the Chernobyl meltdown, 5,000 reports finally translated from Slavic languages reveal that a million people were killed by that radiation. The WHO, working without these reports, has reported only nine thousand deaths. Eighty per cent of children born to irradiated parents are disabled. Contrary to earlier findings, the wildlife is as badly affected. Energy efficiency: WWF and other specialists say that 2014 is nature’s deadline for the shift to a low carbon economy in time to avoid runaway warming above two degrees. Going above two degrees is breaking with the entire history of climate variation of the planet. What we can’t do at the level of world governments, we may be able to do at the state and local level. Top of the list are mandatory energy efficiency measures. In Australia, federal requirements may not start until 2020 but state local and household ones could be adopted much sooner. Up to 65 per cent of cuts in emissions required may be achieved this way.

Manager James Thier says every investor can now be proactive, stepping ‘into the void left by the failure of the political process’.

There’s a lot to say about the level of consumption per person as well as the level of carbon emissions. Presently, we rank near or at top in the world for both issues.

Northern Rivers Energy Strategy: It’s true that in March 2010, NSW government admitted it approved in principle two new coal fired power stations. But by July, injunctions against these projects were filed by student and activist Ned Houghton, using the Environmental Defenders Office (EDO). Meanwhile, EDO with Simon Clough of Lismore Council are organising a Northern Rivers regional energy strategy. Early data shows many more solar panels throughout the area add up to a feasible alternative.

Australia’s of official mobile mobi phone re recycling program, MobileMuster, and Landcare Australia are combining forces to give Australia’s coastline a helping hand this summer. The two not-for-profit organisations are encouraging all Australians to round-up their old and broken mobile phones, batteries and accessories and hand them in for recycling. For every kilogram of mobile phones received by October 31, a tree will be planted in one of five key coastal areas across Australia. According to the Australian Mobile Telecommunications Association, there are an estimated 16 million mobile phones lying unused or broken in drawers across Australia that could be recycled. If just one in every 200 of these old phones were handed in for recycling, MobileMuster through Landcare Australia will be able to plant 25,000 trees along the coast of Australia.

Rous Water NEW REBATES AVAILABLE Rous Water is offering new rebates on the purchase and installation of water efficient showerheads and a range of other water saving products from 1 July 2010 until 30 June 2011. ‘We’re looking at sustainable, long-term solutions to water use by residential customers,’ said Mr Lavelle, General Manager. The rebates make replacing old showerheads very affordable. Households can claim up to two showerheads per water account. The amount of water that can be saved is quite substantial. A 3-star WELS-rated showerhead uses up to 40% less water than a standard, unrated showerhead. That’s a possible saving of $100 based on water costs of $1.90 per kilolitre and typical gas hot water costs. In addition to the Showerhead Rebate, Rous Water is also offering rebates for the combined cost of purchase and installation of the following Water Saving Products. (See ad). Applications for the new rebates and conditions are available at www.rouswater.nsw.gov. au and by contacting Rous Water on 02 6621 8055.

How to make your vote count. Federal election, Saturday 21st August. On election day, you’ll receive two ballot papers: a green one for the House of Representatives, and a white one for the Senate.

Green ballot paper – Number every box. For the green ballot paper, you must put a ‘1’ in the box beside the candidate who is your first choice, ‘2’ in the box beside your second choice and so on, until you have numbered every box. Be careful, you must number every box for your vote to count in a federal election.

White ballot paper – Two ways to vote. For the white ballot paper, you have a choice of ways to vote: Above the line You can just mark ‘1’ in the box above the line for the party or group of your choice. By doing this, you’re following the group voting ticket and allowing the order of your preferences to be determined by your party or group. To find out more about the group voting tickets visit www.aec.gov.au

Don’t use ticks, crosses, or leave boxes blank, or your vote won’t count.

SAMP PLE or Below the line You can choose to fill in ever y box below the line in the order of your preference. You must put a ‘1’ in the box beside the candidate who is your first choice, ‘2’ in the box beside your second choice and so on, till you have numbered every box.

SAMPLE SAMPLE What if I make a mistake? If you get it wrong, don’t worry: just ask for another ballot paper, and start again.

Call 13 23 26 or visit www.aec.gov.au for more information.

You can't Harry Lo

ve I have a Bread an d Buddha album by Mr Harry Manx up for grabs as pr omotional enticement for his upcoming performance Septe mber 12 at the Mullum Civ ic Hall... Simply email gigs@echo.net.au with subject head er 'Thanx for the Ma nx'. Of course I will ne ed your mailing address so we can pop it in the po st.

Since releasing their latest album, The Bottom Of The Lake, Tinpan Orange have gained the praise and respect of the Australian music industry with Beat Magazine calling it ‘one of those records that will last you a lifetime of listening’. Tinpan Orange will be sure to leave Bangalow captivated by their alluring folk-pop tunes on Friday when they are joined at the A&I Hall by Scarlett Affection. Emily Lubitz of TPO spoke with Seven on the eve of her gig. Renee Geyer’s quote about your voice is pretty impressive. She’s a rather intimidating person, so that’s a great accolade. How did she come to say that?

A friend of ours saw her in a cafe one day and happened to have our album in her bag. She introduced herself and told Renee of Tinpan Orange and gave her the record. Surprisingly, and kindly, she took it home and listened to it. She must have dug it because she got in touch and booked us to support her for a bunch of shows. She became a friend and a mentor to me. She even asked me write songs for her... now that’s intimidating!

finished before I’ve taken it to the band. The writing process is elusive and strange. It’s like an old friend that never tells you when they’re going to turn up and never says goodbye when they leave. Â

What do you think gives Tin Pan Orange such a distinct sound? The mandolin?

Are you open to change when you are in the creative process or recording?

I’m not sure... I think we are lucky in how much we complement each other. I think it’s one of those things where the sum is greater than its parts.

Yes very much so. I love working with creative people and being inspired by them. Sometimes it is an exercise in letting go of what I think is mine... when I realise the song will fly higher if I share it, I love watching it fly away with the strength of three other artists who I trust... mostly. CONTINUED P24

What’s the songwriting process for TPO? I write the songs I sing and Jesse writes what he sings. I know the song is only three quarters

Do all the songs you write end up making it to recording? Not all. You have to write the chaff to write the wheat.

WAR OF THE WORLDS There are just some issues where you can’t sit on the fence. Woolworths moving into Mullumbimby is one of them. You’re either for Woolies or against. I’m against. But that doesn’t mean I don’t respect the right supermarket supporters have in expressing their views. I completely support their right, but I feel compelled to tell them they’re wrong. You see, I can’t comprehend how anyone who loves their small town, who is on first name terms with the butchers, who marvels at Mr Dennett’s olde worlde bow-tie-wearing grocery charm, who enjoys the serenity of the sweet natured, sweet selling lolly shop lady or buys a bag of spuds from the local fruit and veg merchants could really believe that a corporate giant like Woolworths is benign. It’s community cancer. Businesses will close. It’s an economic certainty. Will people really choose ‘cheaper’ groceries over community because they can’t be bothered driving to BiLo? I’ve done enough therapy to realise that when I get angry and have a raving meltdown about the kids not doing the washing up, it’s not about the washing up. It’s about feeling unvalued and unsupported. At the end of the day, no one really gets angry about dirty dishes. It’s basic psychology. So what happens when you apply this ‘what’s underneath’ thesis to a town? What is the deeper reason for this conflict? You don’t have to scratch back very far to find Mullumbimby’s wound. It’s not really about Woolies at all. There’s an age old feud lurking beneath the surface. Twenty years ago it was the Red Necks V the Dirty Hippies. Updated to 2010, it’s the Locals V the Blow Ins. The blow ins are ‘new’ to Mullum. Only been here a decade or so. Small town refugees. They are seen to have ‘less say’ than people who’ve lived here one or more generations but they don’t shut up. They organise petitions, marches, political actions, and they’re not even real locals. Although, they did buy the subdivisions, the boutique farms and most of the uninhabitable Main Arm slopes at a pretty good profit for the ‘real locals’. The ‘real’ locals hate the ‘new’

arrivals. They see them as outspoken, flagrantly left wing, promiscuous, pot growing, fire stick twirling, Woolies bashing, nit infested vegetarian hessian sandal wearing freaks. And they’ve got a point, some of them are. The Blow Ins have their heads so far up their hydrotherapised colons they don’t even know that the ‘real’ locals exist. I don’t think they’ve ever met one.

How can you tell when something is a great suggestion or just someone being a control freak? The egos in the band are maleable enough that we never get too stuck on somebody’s controlling trip. I think we are communists... most of the time. What songwriting convention do you hate the most? Rhyming – why do I feel so compelled to rhyme? How has your music changed in the time you’ve been playing together – do you see the development of your ‘sound’ as a journey? Or do you just navigate album by album? We change by doing. Each album has been a milestone in our sound evolution. I see us heading in a more chamber folk direction, with bigger string sections but at the same time more straight driving rhythms.

We’ve been locked out. We have our own detention centre. A prison. I sometimes wonder what it must be like to live behind the fence in the Woolies ghetto. I hope the residents have been at least offered cheap cornflakes as recompense.

Being a musician is a bit like being a fruit tree. After a season of perpetual fruiting, it’s important to allow yourself to be pruned back, to seek the energy from the source within, so the next flowering can be more spectacular than the one before. Singer songwriter Fintin Callagahan is a fellow who let himself go fallow for a year or so, but now, with guitar in his hand and a stage under his feet, he is back, in form and at the Rails on Monday.

TIJUANA CARTEL AT THE BEACH HOTEL ON FRIDAY

What the Duck? I saw Peaking Duck last time they played Byron. I was standing in one of the artistically grotty corners of the old Buddha Bar at the Blue Birdy. I watched in amazement as this tiny little room full of people sitting on broken lounges was transformed into a cutting edge New York Jazz Club. I don’t think you would have heard better music anywhere else on the planet.

Tijuana Cake Their mojo gets bigger by the day as they travel the length and breadth of the country leaving a trail of larger and larger dance floors behind them. The secret to the success of Tijuana Cartel is how they turn an utterly unique blend of flamenco, percussion, trumpet, beats, breaks, positivity and pulsing global rhythms into a uniting and exciting musical force. Tijuana Cartel delivers a perfect marriage of lustful rhythms and upfront electronica. They are inspired by everything the musical world has to offer, from Funk to Hip Hop to Reggae to the Middle Eastern flavours of

24 August 17, 2010 The Byron Shire Echo

There’s something almost visceral about music that’s this spontaneous. It’s like witnessing a birth. It’s euphoric. Peaking Duck was formed four years ago by Ollie Mcgill of The Cat Empire and saxophonist David Ades. The group also includes the Cat’s bass player Ryan Monro and drummer Will Hull-Brown.  David has played with The Cat Empire many times, both in Australia and in New York and this group is the result of the members wondering what would happen if the improvisations that begun with the Cat Empire were to be extended beyond the usual constraints of playing large shows. The result is a spellbinding musical adventure full of large fat funky grooves and spontaneous outbursts of pure joy. The last Byron show with this amazing group was packed

SCARLETT AFFECTION AT THE BANGALOW A&I HALL ON FRIDAY

Fintan Fruit

Corporations are the colonial conquerors of this millennium. Our town has been declared Terra Nullius, and we supermarketless savages have been granted a taste of civilisation. (It tastes like chicken. Hormones and disappointment). It’s a shame we’ve let it happen. We don’t need meditation, we need mediation. Perhaps Paradise really is a parking lot and true happiness can be found in a bag of cheap groceries. If that’s the case, then Fuck Woolies. I’m going to Aldi. Let’s be honest, the only ‘Real Locals’ are indigenous Australians and we kicked them out two hundred years ago. The entire country is full of blow ins.

the Sub Continent to the dance venues of London, and it is this fusion that creates the unique earthly musical energies that encaptures all those that come before them. Tijuana Cartel play the Beach Hotel on Friday from 9.30pm.

We co-exist, as Morlocks and Eloi, the vegetarian upperworlders oblivious to the carnivorous hatred of their subterranean dwelling brothers. It doesn’t matter what the issue is. The Blow Ins don’t believe Mullum needs Woolies so the ‘Real’ locals do. It’s never about groceries. It’s about resentment. It’s how Woolies have managed to capture us. We were already divided. All they had to do was conquer. So Woolies built a fence. It’s truly Off - FENCE -ive. A giant ugly obnoxious scar encircles the site and about 1/8th of the town. There’s even an official sign that says ‘No this fence is not attractive’. Someone’s a little DeFENCEive. (What are they going to do, put a sign on the supermarket that reads: ‘No this store is not attractive.’)

Where do you see your market musically? America, Europe? Do you have plans for world domination? Australia is as far as we have ventured so far, but we will be packing our bags for Europe in October to support the Cat Empire. 20 cities in 30 days. Canada is also on the cards for next year. We are hoping to bypass world domination (so much effort!) and tap into the music market on Mars.

Dallas Lennox Dallas Frasca has been crowned the Queen of Australian roots for good reason. This medusa haired siren is a powerhouse of rock ‘and her snarling husky vocals and chunky guitar riffs force anyone still sitting to their feet. ’When heard live these down and dirty roots-rock tunes take the listener to another place.’ So says Emma Heard of Time Off. After winning the 2010 MUSICOZ ‘Artist Of The Year’ Awards (over $80,000 in prizes), there has been some dramatic changes over the past few months. Dallas Frasca (now gone from bright red dreadlocks to blonde) and her songwriting partner in crime, Jeff Curran (aka Goat Boy) have just spent the last couple of months beginning on their second full length record in their old stomping grounds of Melbourne that is shaping up to be a monster! With their only headlining show announced in the Northern Rivers this year, this will be a chance to listen to them showcase material from the upcoming album and come and celebrate the re-opening night of The Lennox Hotel after incredible renovations. Be there on Friday.Â

Bottlenosed Broadfoot

DAN HANNAFORD AT THE HOTEL GREAT NORTHERN ON MONDAY

Far North Coast band Broadfoot are pleased as punch for winning a North Coast Entertainment Industry Association award, lovingly known as a Dolphin award, last Wednesday night. Also nominated as a finalist for best emerging talent, Broadfoot took home the Dolphin in the best ‘Funk/Urban/Hip Hop’ song category for their song ‘The Timeless Groove’. A song that features lyrics about Greek mythological sexual deity Priapus, Australia’s mythologically ‘statused’ sexual deity Dennis Lillee, and England’s lawn bowls enthusiast, tormentor of the Spaniard, and another possible mythological sexual deity, Sir Francis Drake. Broadfoot are a bit confused as to what Urban means in the context of the award but certainly the only thing that Hip Hops in Broadfoot currently is guitarist, Matt ‘Crazy Crab’ Cleary as he cavorts with an energy on stage that seems to know of no Rabbit Proof Fences.

With the election the following day there’s no better place to be this Friday night than voting with both feet at the Rails to the sounds of Mr Speaker. Those legislators of funk, those spin doctors of swing, the Senate Standing Sub Committee of Groove, Mr Speaker have amended the “Getting funky and having a Ball at The Rails Act 2010” to include a new clause that makes seeing Mr Speaker on election eve as compulsory as turning out to vote the following morning. Don’t miss it. Get Up’s victory in their court case now means an extra million Australians are eligible to watch Mr Speaker on election eve, so get there early and stake your claim to your property rights on the dance floor. Mr Speaker promise that this Friday they will be moving forward with real action for all Australians (and tourists), whether they’re part of a working family or living on the dole in an illegal bedsit at Sunrise Beach.

Some favourable comparisons the band has received include The Cat Empire, Madness, and even Stevie Wonder! They play the Beachie on Saturday.

In a sure sign of harsh economic times, dwind dwindling crowds have forced a change of schedule for the iconic Mullumbimby Jam Night (aka Mullumbe Mullumberry Jam).

Dead Egg SWINGIN COWGIRLS AT THE DRILL HALL IN MULLUM ON WED AUG 25

A Day in the Death of Joe Egg is part vaudeville, part tragedy and part comedy, but always courageous and heartfelt. Brian and Sheila are a young couple who care for their severely disabled daughter Josephine, nicknamed ‘Joe Egg’, and are the model of bravery and courage in the face of adversity. Living by the rule that if you don’t laugh you’ll cry, it’s fortunate that Bri is a natural born entertainer. But what lies beneath Bri’s funny lounge room antics? This blunt, funny and confronting play about caring for a child with a disability shocked and delighted audiences in 1967 yet is as relevant and explosive today. Acclaimed playwright Peter Nichols is renowned for his searingly honest work, and as the father of a girl with a disability this semi-autobiographical work cuts particularly close to the bone. A masterpiece of comedy, the play crackles with exuberance, sincerity and witty performances, from an outstanding cast. Friday 27 & Saturday 28 August at 8pm, Star Court Theatre. Adults $47, children $38, under 18 $21.

In 2008, Jackie was invited to the USA to audition for the NBC show,’Last Comic Standing’, which is televised to a global audience of millions. Due to her remarkable talents, Jackie was able to make it into the top 17 comics worldwide! Jackie is a sought after panelist whenever a comical point of view is required, and was a regular panelist on the television show, ‘Beauty And The Beast’. In 2008, she appeared in the Cracker Comedy Festival debate, as well as the Mardi Gras debate. Not limited to straight comedy, Jackie utilizes her amazing vocal skills and acting ability to parody everyone from old favourite Shirley Bassey to contemporary superstars The Pussy Cat Dolls.

Still@The Centre on the Byron Bay Arts & Industry Estate plays host to a series of seven Saturdays that could change your life. Or at the very least the walls which frame the life you live. Every Saturday starting from this week they host an art workshop. This Saturday it’s the age old craft of Paper making with Anne Leon. Get back to basics and learn how to make your own materials. It’s so good you won’t want to wreck it by making a mark. Home made paper is the carbohydrate equivalent of home made bread. The good thing is though, unlike bread, paper is gluten free! If you want the full details / program go to http://www.the-centre.com.au/workshops_AOS.html

Watching and Waiting Mullum Flicks continues to bring innovative and cutting edge films to Mullumbimby’s Drill Hall. Just because you live in a country town doesn’t mean that you can’t keep up with cutting edge culture! This weekend’s screening is The Waiting City, the first Australian film to be shot entirely in India. Directed by Claire McCarthy, The Waiting City tells the story of an outwardly happy Australian couple who journey to India to collect their adopted child. They rediscover themselves, and a belief in the possibilities of life, and the result is an uplifting and joyous piece of cinema. An intimate, complex love story of transformation, set against the exhilarating backdrop of Kolkata (Calcutta). The film stars Radha Mitchell and Joel Edgerton. Saturday and Sunday at the Drill Hall with delicious curries, cakes, dessert and chai from 6.30pm and the film at 7.30pm. Tickets – $12 . Pre-purchase at the Mullumbimby Bookshop and at the door.

Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World

*UHHQEHUJ $QLPDO .LQJGRP .QLJKW 'D\

director responsible for the genre-bending ‘Shaun Of The Dead’ (2004) and ‘Hot Fuzz’ (2007), has a penchant for successfully going against stereotypes – he pushes the envelope further here by having Scott share a house, and sleep with, a guy who is openly gay. Wright also manages to cross the line that somehow allows violence, of which there is heaps, to be so jokey as to be harmless. References to pop culture come twenty to the dozen – Manga, Bollywood, Marvel ‘kappow!’ comics and a scene imitating Seinfeld (including Jonathon Wolff’s signature theme) are among the more obvious of them, but then there are the band members named Stephen Stills and Young Neil, a line from Dylan’s ‘Blonde on Blonde’ included in the plethora of ultra-hip sur-titles, even Scott’s name, harking back to Vonnegut’s Billy Pilgrim – did the hoodied, beanied, text-checking crowd get these? Satiric and funny while dead serious in its moral intent, this is a timeless romance that is brazenly uncouth but built on a foundation of essential verities. And it’s terrific. ~John Campbell

The Concert The poster, scarily evocative of ‘As It Is In Heaven’, was not exactly encouraging. Romanian director Radu Mihaileanu’s Russian/French co-production is not so bilious-making, but it leaves that stinker for dead in the ridiculous stakes. It has not a skerrick of credibility – which is OK for a whacky farce, but for something that is trying to arrive at a climax of joyous pathos the scatterbrained writing is fatal. That is, it’s about as believable as a CroFULLY AIR-CONDITIONED EVERY WED ALL SEATS ALL SESSIONS $8 ONLY

BALLINA FAIR CINEMAS

Magnon bully-boy failed priest becoming Prime Minister (what’s that you say …?). Andrei the janitor (Aleksei Guskov) was once a celebrated conductor of the Bolshoi Orchestra. Thirty years ago, in the last days of the Brezhnev regime, he was hoiked off stage in the middle of a concert and sacked because he’d hired Jewish musicians. But he still has his dreams and, by a quirk of fate, he comes into possession of a fax from the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris requesting the Bolshoi to step in as replacement for an American booking that has cancelled. Andrei tells nobody of the communiqué and instead sets about reuniting the old orchestra. He’s got two weeks to find them, kit them out with instruments and provide them with passports and visas. No probs, especially if all attempts at plausibility have been abandoned – the ‘hilarious’ scene at the airport where they stick ID pics into fake documents is painfully unfunny. Anne-Marie Jacquet (Melanie Laurent) is the violinist whom Andrei demands as the centre piece of the concert, for reasons that eventually emerge through a construct of ham-fisted flashbacks and after a canard that had me guessing the wrong thing about why he was so obsessed with her. The imperiously beautiful Laurent (there is a hint of Grace Kelly about her) is utterly convincing as the famous artiste who is nonplussed at getting herself mixed up with such a shambolic outfit – unless she is betraying the bafflement of an actress who is nonplussed at getting herself mixed up with such a shambolic movie. The great redemptive power of music is what it all boils down to,

in much the same way that it did in ‘Shine’ – except that, with Laurent as the soloist in Tchaikovsky’s violin concerto, Mihaileanu at least has an easier sell than Scott Hicks did with Noah Taylor hammering the ivories for Rachmaninoff’s second piano concerto. Its provenance will be enough for some Europhiles to deem it irreproachable, but even with the stirring finale, I thought it absurd, haphazard and hackneyed. ~John Campbell www.dendy.com.au

Driving home, it dawned on me that there are no adults in this film. (Apart from myself, there were none in the audience either, the greyhairs being next door watching Polanski’s latest.) No parents, no teachers, no cops or any senior figures of authority. Just a Gen Y cast so totally talking like this, dude, and like, so totally unencumbered by concerns other than their music and their tangled love lives. Scott (Michael Cera) is twenty-two and hanging out with Knives (yummy Ellen Wong), a seventeen year-old Catholic schoolgirl (‘with like, the uniform and everything?’). They haven’t ‘done it’ yet – in fact, because Scott is such a dork, they are only now

beginning to hold hands. Like, totally devoted to him, Knives is the number one fan of the Sex Bob-ombs, the rock band in which he plays bass. Out of the blue he encounters Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winsted), a purple coiffed femme fatale who like, so blows him away. Ramona deigns to go out with Scott, creating problems for him in his relationship with Knives and, worse, exposing him to the pay-back of her seven previous partners. Cera has gormless naïveté down pat, but it’s at first stretching a friendship to see him in this part (he doesn’t look a day older than when he knocked up Juno, and if anything his voice is higher). It’s no less challenging to accept that he might be a chick magnet, but Edgar Wright, the English

Starring Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz. The film is a fast paced romp that’s frequently very funny (Cruise’s character Roy Miller tied up and hanging upside down: “Don’t worry, we’ll be out of here in a minute”). There’s a fistfight, firefight or something exploding every two minutes but Cruise is in great form, he’s 48 but doesn’t look it as he carries out his own impressive stunts, riding motorbikes, fighting baddies and shooting all and sundry. Cruise plays secret agent Roy Miller, on the run from the FBI. Is this because he’s gone rogue, or because former colleague Fitzgerald (Peter Sarsgaard) is corrupt and framing him? We get a good chase involving a herd of bulls, which is a little different, and Cruise and Diaz are both very attractive with their infectious, mile-wide grins. ~ Lounge Cinema

E ARIES: Recent intense pressure for Aries is now on the wane, just in time for retro Mercury to unleash your inner critic on to all of existence. Easy on, Rams… call a truce and cool down, so you can choose your next move carefully. And don’t forget to have fun. F TAURUS: Take care of business early this week, because from late week on Mercury retrograde could subvert even the most carefully constructed plan. With celestial weather featuring strong ego heat, choppy emotional currents and unpredictable conditions, don’t forget the pleasure element – there’s still plenty around. G G EMINI: Romance planets say yes/go while oppositions and retrogrades caution stop/no, and possibilities expand while reality just seems to keep contracting – energetic counterpoints which make stress minimization this week’s most sensible exercise. Obligations knock, and so do needy friends but it’s your decision who comes in. CANCER: This vividly social week activates even the most stay-atH home Crab’s inner party animal, but if your acute antennae sense something suss, trust this instinct because it’s spot on. Confusion, misunderstanding even deception are in the air, so for your part be as clear as a Cancerian can. I LEO: A magnificent week for mating, celebrating and command performances. Your powerful presence attracts admirers like flies, but are they all really watching your back, majesty? Be discriminating, use the charm option rather than the drama button, and tread that fine line between insistent and pushy. J VIRGO: One of the year’s worst weeks for jumping to conclusions or making assumptions. With retro Mercury’s crossed communication wires running interference, you’ll need to maintain whatever objectivity you can muster. Yes, some people are behaving badly, but that’s their business – don’t make it yours.

M S AGITTARIUS: Not a week to believe everything you hear, especially other people’s take on what’s happening. Short cuts aren’t recommended either, so be attentive to details. Then put work aside, honor your body’s need for rest and be sweet to yourself by doing something you utterly adore. N CAPRICORN: While this week’s feeling of shifting sands doesn’t help while you’re trying to lay foundations for a new life cycle, you’re the sign who can move mountains when you choose to. So start figuring out how to turn the next three week’s apparent setbacks to your advantage. O AQUARIUS: According to Aquarian Charles Darwin it isn’t the strongest, most intelligent species that survive, but those most adaptable to change. Fixed sign Aquarians may take ages to change, but once they decide to it’s quick as a flash. This week’s the precursor to a quantum leap. P PISCES: Caught in a quagmire of conflicting agendas, mixed messages or simply plain old lack of information? Join Club Confused. Then draw a line in the sand: boundaries are essential. Doing this versus just thinking about it is the first step of morphing the past you into future you.

Defending the Industry Victoria Cosford

Since May last year, restaurants and cafes around the country have been subjected to new legislation. The period of grace bestowed to them was lifted recently, leaving many restaurateurs muttering darkly. Essentially the change requires venues to print a separate list of higher public holiday or weekend pricing – as opposed to the general practice of stating in fine print or on signage that a surcharge applies. One restaurateur to whom I spoke explained that the change ‘was designed to remove the small print extra charges that industries such as airlines, car companies and banks have been using for years to make prices on the ticket look better than they actually are’ but that ‘in the process restaurants have been caught up in the wash.’ Most people are familiar with the concept of forking out slightly more for, say, coffee and cake on a Sunday than they might otherwise be required to do on a weekday. We know that, as an enticement to lure staff to work those days traditionally considered premium family time, they are paid more and as a result the venue must ask more of the customer in order to absorb that extra amount. It’s irritating, but customary. What this change in law means is that now venues are obliged to either expensively and painstakingly ensure that they present two separate menus reflecting the different pricings to customers or, as many have elected to do, simply increase their prices across the board. The latter approach I found after speaking to a random representation of establishments seemed to be the more commonly adopted solution to the situation. So suddenly everything has become a little more expensive than it was anyway. Some restaurants have delayed doing anything at all about the whole thing, despite the threat of infringement notices by the Australian Competi-

tion and Consumer Commission (ACCC) – only to be abused by self-righteous, angry customers accusing them of operating illegally. Others have been genuinely ignorant of the change in law because they may not be a member of organisations such as the Restaurant and Catering Association which act in their interests. I contacted John Hart, Chief Executive Officer of the Association, who told me that ‘yes there are still businesses that are unaware of the changes – not the least of which non-members. We have put out various emails and magazine articles on the topic (with suggestions). We did try to stop this when it was up for consultation by Treasury on the basis that a menu can never state the full price as, by definition, it is a list of components of a meal. This was accepted as an anomaly and then ignored.’ And yet the more I thought about all this and the more restaurateurs with whom I spoke, the clearer it became that surfacing was another, larger issue. And that was that, no matter what the change was or how it would be dealt with, customers would complain: this merely has provided them with a new excuse. Customers would complain because most of them have absolutely no idea that very few restaurants or cafes make any sort of profit whatsoever. That they feel a sense of entitlement toward complaining about being ripped off, as if their position as patrons (‘always right!’) endows them with a sinister power. Because the truth is, there are not many restaurateurs or cafe owners who sell up and sail off in their own private yachts. Notwithstanding the fact that, yes, there do exist places which charge outrageously and deliver little, which exploit their staff and operate unethically – on the whole the hospitality industry is run by passionate people with visions who wish to translate those visions into a lovely experience for their picky, difficult, overly critical customers. At the Northern our team of Italian chefs and pizzaioli are dedicated to bring you a mix of autthentic flavours from Italy as well as a selection of burgers, steaks, fresh fish dishes and all the favourites. Our wide range of traditional Italian wood fired pizzas have us voted one of the best throughout the Northern Rivers.

A minor error in last week’s Snippets mentioned new Byron Bay cafe Dip as located in Middleton Street when in fact it is in Fletcher Street where the all-day breakfasts are the go.

Traditional media outlets may soon rely on contributors or online panels instead of fulltime reviewers when it comes to restaurant reviews. Recent research by American Express revealed that one in six Australians use the social networking site Facebook to discuss and rate their dining experiences.

Fig Tree Restaurant

For restaurateurs this is extremely important given it has been reported that nearly nine in ten Australian internet users were looking to fellow internet users for opinions and information about products, services and brands, and that Australians’ engagement with online word-of-mouth will increase in coming years. The trend is more prevalent among younger Australians aged between 18 and 34 years.

PADDOCK TO PLATE This coming weekend sees the return of Sydney’s Organic Expo and Green Show at Darling Harbour Convention and Exhibition Centre. Now in its 6th year, it has as its theme ‘Paddock to Plate’ and offers the chance for visitors to catch cooking demonstrations by renowned celebrity chefs such as Kylie Kwong and Tobie Puttock. One hundred and eighty exhibitors will be showcasing what’s fresh and best from the organic and green industry, including gardening gurus Jerry ColebyWilliams and Costa Georgiadis, organic wine-makers and Byron Bay’s Samantha Gowing, who will present a Now and Zen cooking demonstration as well as a seminar on social media online marketing and the internet. The Expo runs from August 20–22 and more information can be found at www.organicexpo.com.au

With social media, that most powerful marketing tool, word-of-mouth, has become immediate and, accordingly, the potential audience enormous. The research also showed that one in four Australians turn to online sources to decide on a new place to eat out.

Ice is essential in mixing the perfect Myocum Mango Margarita – you’ll need a valet, half a cup of peeled sliced mango, one and a quarter ounces of tequila, half an ounce of cointreau, a quarter of a lime and just a splash of chambord (the splash based on Einstein’s Unified Splash Theorem of 36 splashes per cosmic ounce). Have the valet squeeze the lime into a blender, add the mango and blend. Add the other ingredients and blend, apart from the chambord. Combine with ice and top with the splash of chambord and decorate with a lime wedge. For the more adventurous, have the valet throw in a regulation capsule measure of 3,4,5-trimethoxy-β-phenethylamine. Seat yourself languorously on an appropriate timber deck and sip slowly until the entheogens kick in. ‘Chap’s father once had a chambord distillery in Tasmania,’ ventured Bosworth, admiring the afternoon light through his second margarita. ‘Perfect place for growing black raspberries.’ ‘Damn fine splash material,’ noted Abbotsleigh, who was gradually sliding down the wall into a pool of ice water. ‘What’s in it?’ ‘Well,’ continued Bosworth, ‘Pater kidnapped a Carthusian monk from France and chained him to a dominatrix in a dark cellar to obtain the secret recipe. I was too busy at the time with my toy soldiers and the commodities market to pay much attention, but it does involve said raspberries, vanilla, honey and herbs steeped in cognac.’

‘No wonder it played such a central part in Einstein’s little-known cocktail cosmology,’ said Tosser Digby. ‘He posited that the raspberry is a good three dimensional representation of the multidimensional space-time-love continuum, in which case the cognac would have the same background influences as the meson. It was revolutionary theory when most physicists were concentrating on the martini.’ ‘Patted Schrodinger’s cat once,’ muttered Abbotsleigh. ‘Don’t know where it got to after that.’ As the afternoon wore on, talk of quantum physics gave way to silence.

Another fantastic event, the Mullum to Bruns was an outstanding success for everyone involved. Winner Andrew Arkinstall, above, put his stamp on the race ascending the hills out of Mullumbimby, followed closely behind by Goonellabah teen Leigh Stewart. Many registered walkers chose to run the event in the less competitive category and tiny trouper Elle Oakes from Mullumbimby crossed the line in an impressive 57.49.66 – not bad for a seven year old. The teams were up for the challenge this year ,the Murwillumbah Volleys topping the list with 33 memebers. The Tweed Valley Triathlons came in second with 25 and Craig Watson Pharmacy placed third with 22 competitiors. To see more photos: www.treefaeriefotos.com by 1245. Guests welcome.

Monday morning feels so bad for beaten Devils Story & photo John Campbell

Two teams turned up at Red Devil Park on Sunday with their NRRR League season on the line. One played accordingly – and it wasn’t Byron Bay. Returning from half-time with the scores locked at 8-all, the Bay needed to produce the quality that they are capable of to repel the challenge of a committed and disciplined but hardly scintillating opposition. Instead they were woeful, allowing the Ballina Seagulls to skip away to a 20-8 lead in quick time before going on to register a 32-18 victory that, if anything, flattered the home side. And it had started so promisingly … Still smarting from the critical loss to Mullum in the previous week’s derby, the Devils were away to a flyer. After Ballina’s kick-off went out on the full, bludgeoning runs from the tireless Chris Coleman and coach Simon Kelly, and a penalty from the whistle-happy ref took them to within striking distance of the Seagulls’ line. Quick hands to Clarence Kelly saw him use his speed and dancing footwork to

beat his opposite cold and make it 4-0. Two minutes later they repeated the dose when fiveeighth Brad Lees made a half break to set up Clarence again, who this time generously gifted the try to his brother Leon on the wing. Another failed conversion attempt limited the damage to the visitors to 8-0, but nobody cared – Byron looked like good things and Ballina still hadn’t touched the ball. Cue the fickleness of the football gods. Just as we were smugly imagining whom the rampaging Red Devils might meet in the play-offs, the boys’

aspirations inexplicably, and in grinding slo-mo, went up in smoke. Could it have been the balmy warmth of the day, with its golden portent of summer, that cast a spell of doziness over the Devils? Repeated, fundamental errors crept into their game and, in response, the Seagulls tightened up and stole the initiative. Ballina inevitably crossed wide out, but unforgiveable sloth allowed the tryscorer to saunter a further fifteen metres closer to the posts and make the conversion a formal-

ity. Which is how it went from then on, as Byron succumbed to terminal narcolepsy. Deep Throat did his best to turn the tide – ‘the penalty count’s 6-2, sir!’ – but the ref, a Stalinist of the first order, was deaf in one ear and couldn’t hear out of the other. The Devils were as flat as tacks in a second-half display that was probably their worst of the season. Frustration mounted in the bleachers. ‘I want my six dollars worth and I’ve only got three and sixpence ha’penny’s so far!’ A translator might have been useful, but the Old Bloke hit the nail on the head. Byron went off the rails, while Ballina, with half-back Andrew Battese playing the general, were cool, calm and collected. Tobin Cupples and Scott Stapleton got a couple of late, facesaving tries, but the oblivion of Mad Monday is all that’s left for a side that promised so much but ended up with zilch. On a brighter note, Rupert Worth’s unsung reggies booked themselves a spot in the semis with a spiky 24-22 win over the Seagulls.

Bangalow lose to Kyogle in dying minutes Bangalow Rugby Union played Kyogle on a sunny Saturday afternoon, going down in the last five minutes with a score of 13-10 in a tight encounter last Saturday at home. Bangalow ran with the wind in the first half scoring a try through inside centre Dick Collins. Kyogle managed a penalty to narrow the lead before half time. Kyogle scored from a quick tap 50 metres out midway through the half to take the lead 10-7 before Kerry Jennings kicked a penalty to level the scores. A penalty was given away in the dying stages and Kyogle slotted it for the win.

You could say the locals deserved to win with a big effort being shown across the park. Countless try scoring opportunities were lost due to poor skills from Bangalow that could have seen the score blow out. The scrum was dominant but the lineout, discipline, backline play and control of possession left a lot to be desired. Best for Bangalow was loose head prop Chris Fezz Davies and fullback Matt Hill. Thanks to the social committee and supporters for making Ladies Day special. On August 28, Bangalow third on the ladder, play Byron

Byron Magpies need win for finals berth The Byron Shire Magpies travelled to play the league leaders Tweed Tigers on Saturday in a game that both teams wanted to win. It was the Tigers who came out to play and kicked away to lead by 48 at the first break. The Magpies defence led by Sam Lucas and Dan Tiffin battled hard against a big tiger forward line who were getting plenty of ball from their free running midfield. Tom Clune contested all-day

in the ruck and with Marcus Atkinson tried to stop Tweed’s run but overall the Magpies were outplayed. Byron’s players ran out the game but were no match for the running football played by Tweed who won convincingly 26-22: 178 to 8-7: 55. Playing with Lismore next week at Bangalow the Magpies need to regroup and win to keep their finals hope alive and as we know anything can happen come finals.

Housing policy crucial, says REIA Real Estate Institute of Australia (REIA) president David Airey has called on all major political parties to take action regarding housing in the lead-up to the federal election. ‘Neither the ALP nor the Liberal/ National Coalition have developed a specific housing policy in their election campaigns, something that I find quite incomprehensible given that housing is a crucial part of our economy and is currently facing major challenges,’ he said. More than three weeks ago, REIA wrote to all major political parties

and independent senators requesting action on a comprehensive housing policy. ‘The areas that we are looking for action on are the First Home Owners Grant (FHOG), housing affordability, mandatory disclosure of energy efficiency ratings, national property taxation framework and the Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) Guidelines,’ said Mr Airey. ‘Housing affects the majority of Australians who will be voting in the election; Australians expect leader-

ship from an incoming government on this issue.’ Approximately two thirds of Australians have a mortgage. The REIA’s most recent Deposit Power Housing Affordability Report has highlighted that affordability has continued to decline with the average household now paying an extra $337 on their mortgage than twelve months ago. In addition to this, supply has been unable to keep pace with demand due to constraints on land availability, lengthy planning delays, skill

tunity to present proposals for inclusion in a specific housing policy which is aimed at contributing to Australia’s continuing strong economic development, addressing the supply of housing and improving housing affordability,’ Mr Airey concluded.

Infrastructure summit highlights need for federal action The Housing Industry Association’s Infrastructure Summit in Sydney last week heard that there are alternatives to the unaffordable up-front infrastructure charging model that is becoming prevalent in Australia. â€˜Ensuring an adequate supply of quality affordable homes is perhaps the foremost challenge facing Australia today,’ said HIA managing director Shane Goodwin. ‘One substantial supply side obstacle is the proliferation in recent years of the “user paysâ€? upfront approach to physical and social infrastructure provision. ‘There are alternative funding models that can be implemented quickly and can have an immediate impact on housing supply and housing affordability.’ At the conclusion of the summit ‘Financing Urban Infrastructure -

Australia’s Housing Future’, HIA out- lenges for the whole community of dedicated bond raising in which lined an Action Agenda, including: not just new home buyers. the community could participate. t 'FEFSBM JOUFSWFOUJPO UP TVQQPSU t 8F TIPVME OPU CF BGSBJE PG CPS- t 8F TIPVME CF FYQMPSJOH B SBOHF borrowing programs for state and rowing to fund the long lasting of ideas and proven solutions, for local governments facing infra- productive assets that support our example a Tax Increment Fundstructure challenges. This might be DJUJFT ‍ڀ‏8F TIPVME SFWJTJU UIF JOGSB- ing (TIF) and community bonds incentives for local governments structure corporations that used to (MUNI bonds) which work effecto borrow or the establishment of borrow to deliver our urban infra- tively in other comparable econoan Infrastructure Bank to attract structure, often with the support mies. superannuation funds to invest in AUSTRALIAN HOUSING SHORTAGE local and state infrastructure. 200 t -PDBM BOE TUBUF HPWFSONFOU GFEFSBM 180 infrastructure support could be 160 tied to improvements in develop140 ment approval systems. 120 t "MM MFWFMT PG HPWFSONFOU OFFE UP 100 engage with the community to out80 line the challenges that are being 60 faced in delivering infrastructure 40 and sustainable cities to demon20 strate leadership about the new ap0 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 proaches we must take to funding new infrastructure.

The Byron Shire Echo August 17, 2010 59

Backlash As many of you would know, the NSW government is considering making a 100 hectare parcel of land at West Byron a State Significant Site, following lobbying by the landowners. The Byron Bay West Landowners Association now has a website (www.westbyronproject.com.au) where you can read about the plans and give feedback. Copies of the association’s first newsletter are also available at Council’s DA counter in Mullum.

to the news that her new shelving had arrived at Mitre 10 she said, ‘Oh thank you, darling, could you deliver them to my home and while you are on your way pick me up a latte.’ The salesman just as casually asked if she would like a scone as well, to which she replied, ‘Only if it’s gluten free’. Imagine how tickled she was a half an hour later when she opened her door to Mitre 10 manager Scott Cooper with shelving, latte and GF scone in hand.

Q Q Q Q

While most of the focus on August 21 in Australia naturally centres around the federal election, this coming Saturday also marks Earth Overshoot Day for the year, the day when human demand on nature surpasses what nature can renewably supply. Humanity will have demanded an amount of ecological services equivalent to what it takes the planet 12 months to produce. That is, we have exhausted our ecological budget for 2010. See more at www.footprintnetwork.org.

Here’s a message for federal election candidates and their supporters: electricity distributor Country Energy is urging members of the public not to place signs and posters on power poles, ‘as they can pose a significant safety risk for work crews’. And another message from Mother Nature: don’t nail signs to trees either.

Q Q Q Q

Political party? How about a real one on election night? Independent Stephen Hegedus is inviting supporters and fellow Independents to the Rails, Byron Bay, this Saturday for a ‘4% Party’. If you don’t capture four per cent of the vote, then the $500 it costs to throw your name into the political arena is not refunded. Thanks Nic Faulkner, Stephen Hegedus, Matt Hartley, David Robinson (Democrat) and Julie Boyd: the Independents offer alternate political discourse to the myopic grey lens of the two party system. They can also highlight and examine issues without major party approval or retribution. In other words, they can be more truthful.

If you liked the faux Greens ad produced by Republic Of Everyone for ABC TV program Gruen Nation, or didn’t see it the first time, go here: www. republicofeveryone.com. The Greens asked the ABC for it, but of course the ABC refused, wishing to not favour any political party. And GetUp members chipped in more than $16,000 to help secure the winning bid in a charity auction for a surfing lesson and meeting with Tony Abbott. The group gave the prize to a group of refugees but Abbott’s office has now stopped returning GetUp’s calls. Q Q Q Q
