but after a lengthy bid process, council’s proposal edged out bids from several other councils in the state. Tony Haven, president of Surf Life Saving NSW, outlined the massive logistical undertaking the event involves, but said the Far North Coast Branch of Surf Life Saving and the Cudgen Headland club and its members were more than capable of meeting the challenge. ‘The state championships has been a hugely popular and successful event over the last few years; they are key to developing the rescue and safety skills of members of the state’s surf clubs and that is why major sponsorship by Allphones brings significant benefits to our organisation,’ he said. Cudgen Headland club president, Gary Cain, said his members were
The upcoming NSW Surf Lifesaving Championships, launched last Thursday at the Cudgen Headland Surf Life Saving Club in Kingscliff which will host them, has been described as a coup for Tweed Shire Council which won the bid to stage them for the next two years. The event is billed as the second largest surf sports carnival in the country and set to attract tens of thousands of people to the region during March, with almost 8,000 competitors taking part. A council spokesman said the Tweed had not hosted a major championships event since the early 1990s
looking forward to staging a worldclass event and welcoming competitors from throughout the state. ‘Cudgen has some great surf sports athletes, including guys like Jarrad Cain, Rohan Small and Scott McCartney. They’re busting to do battle with other top competitors, right here on their home turf,’ he said. The state’s finest junior surf life savers will kick-start the ten days of competition from March 11 to 13, while the Masters and Opens competitors will hit the stage from March 17 to 20. The championships will involve 600 volunteer officials from across the state with 400 events and 1,800 races to be held. Tweed mayor Kevin Skinner said the event would be a huge boost for sports tourism in the region.
Tweed Shire Council has been accused of bullying and intimidating members of a residents’ association who received leaked documents related to a controversial proposal for a caravan park at Cabarita. Council has also been slammed for calling in the state corruption watchdog, the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC), as an abuse of the spirit in which it was founded. The legal threats by council have been blamed for the sudden resignation, due to stress, of the pensioner president of the Cabarita Beach Residents Association, Cath Lynch, who told The Echo the ordeal had affected her health and she was advised to take a rest. The association has rallied behind her and set up a fighting fund and is appealing for public donations. The documents included a business plan for the van park which was posted on the residents’ website but taken down as a result of the threats. However, the information is still in the public domain and on a social network site. A meeting of the association on Monday unanimously moved to write to the Minister for Local Government, Barbara Perry, in protest at the intimidation of the executive of the association. The meeting also moved to protest to the minister over the process employed by council, including the witholding of information ‘vital for community decision making’ over development plans for a 230-site beachfront caravan park and 37-home subdivision in the southern section of the village.
The association was hit last week with an urgent legal demand to return allegedly confidential documents relating to the contentious $22 million caravan park proposed on Crown land by the NSW Land and Property Management Authority (LPMA) and the Tweed Coast Holiday Parks Reserve Trust, made up of all seven councillors and senior officers. Mrs Lynch said she had relinquished her position as she was ‘ill with worry’ after receiving two threatening legal letters in the past week demanding she immediately hand over all copies of the documents she had received. But she said she could not afford a solicitor and was hoping for legal aid to advise her.
Mayor ‘upset’ Mayor Kevin Skinner defended the legal threat against the association and its pensioner president, telling ABC Radio on Tuesday that he was ‘upset’ about the leak and council wanted the documents back because they ‘belong to council’. He warned that council’s legal team would pursue the matter ‘to the nth degree’. However, Cr Skinner said he ‘didn’t know’ if ICAC had become involved to find out who in council leaked the documents, saying he ‘honestly couldn’t say’ if the corruption body had been notified. But he then went on to say that if it was proven that staff were involved, they would be ‘reprimanded and held accountable’. His comments were in stark contrast to those made to the media last week when he had confirmed ICAC had been asked to investigate. He had said the decision to take continued on page 2

legal action had not been put to a vote of councillors in their role as members of the trust, but was made by council general manager Mike Rayner. Mr Rayner is on leave this week but a spokesman said council was pursuing legal ‘avenues’ to retrieve ‘commercial in confidence’ information about the caravan park.
Staying mum Surprisingly, in a prepared statement to media, the spokesman said council could not confirm whether the issue had been referred to ICAC ‘because of guidelines outlined by the commission’, referring The Echo to the extract from the ICAC website on reporting matters to the watchdog. The extract spelt out that ICAC could not prevent anyone from reporting matters to others, but advised against it as ‘it may affect the ability of ICAC to take any necessary steps’. The confidential details about the proposed caravan park were initially dropped off in a brown paper bag into the mailbox of an association member and then posted on the residents’ association website.

Sources who have seen the documents say there is nothing commercial in confidence about the documents because the developers are government agencies wanting to develop public land.

Probe slammed by candidate Greens candidate in the upcoming state election, Andrea Vickers, has slammed Tweed Shire Council’s use of ICAC to try to identify the person responsible for leaking the business plan for the caravan park proposal. Ms Vickers said the concept plan was currently on exhibition for public comment ‘yet they claim the financial aspects are commercial in confidence and the public shouldn’t be allowed to see them’. ‘We have two public government bodies proposing to develop public land amid a significant community outcry. The NSW government
spent millions of dollars to run the world rally here in 2009, and despite the lack of any commercial competitor for the event, the government claimed that was commercial in confidence too,’ Ms Vickers said. ‘People are fed up with the Labor government hiding how public money is spent, and in this case, Tweed Council is also involved. To call in ICAC is an abuse of the spirit in which ICAC was founded – to stop people in government from abusing their power, not to stop them from sharing information which the community has a right to know.’
ture of the trust’s seven holiday parks. He said the information should have remained confidential and had joked that ‘we have our own WikiLeaks’. But he went on to explain that the plans were not ‘final’ and any proposals for tourist cabins as shown on the plans could be drastically altered, suggesting residents had not been told about the cabins beforehand. He told media he would ‘rather see camping sites’ and that the trustees (councillors) may ‘not want 80 cabins in there’ but ‘a small number’. Media reports at the weekend on ‘the hunt’ for the leaker of the secret business plan speculated that investigations for a possible ICAC probe had focused on councillors because only 12 of the documents were supposed to have been printed including one for each councillor, one for the general manager and four for senior council officers. But it remains unclear how far the Local Government Act can be used against residents, and the Sydney-based law firm
Cabarita residents are pushing for their own alternative to the controversial caravan park proposed for beachfront land at the village. The Cabarita Beach/Bogangar Residents’ Association met again on Monday to discuss the plans and around 80 locals voiced their unanimous support for pursuing different uses of the land, much of which has been regenerated by local Dunecare volunteers. Spokesman Ashley Baldry told last week’s council access meeting there appeared to be significant corporate and government funding available for an alternative ‘community proposal’ and he wanted to see the association, businesspeople, council and state government work on it together. However, an open invitation to councillors to attend the meeting this week was snubbed by most of them.
Submissions closing
The public exhibition of the plans for a van park on the eastern side of the Coast Road and a housing subdivision on the western side closes on February 28 and comments can be submitted at www.lpma.nsw.gov. au or to Cabarita South Community Consultation, PO Box 1059, Tweed Heads, NSW, 2485. Mr Baldry told councillors a recent association meeting, which drew a packed house of 400, opposed the contentious plans for reasons including financial viability, environmental impacts, protection of the offleash dog beach, surf lifesaving concerns, loss of beach access and open space and the impact of an additional 1,000 people in a village of 3,000 people. At this week’s residents’ meeting alternative uses such as a skate park and nature reserve were some of the ideas bandied about and one person suggested pursuing ‘surfing reserve’ status continued on page 4 for the village and its beaches.

Mayor: truck stop needs major rethink Murray Simpson
An uproar over a Chinderah truck stop has forced the Tweed Shire Council to undertake a major rethink of development in the quiet riverside community. Mayor Kevin Skinner blasted the RTA for failing to liaise with the council on the truck stop plans and described their failure to show up at meetings regarding Chinderah development as ‘an absolute disgrace’. Cr Skinner told this week’s council meeting he wanted immediate talks with the RTA over a planned 24-hour truck stop for north-bound traffic at Chinderah which would mirror an existing service centre on the south-bound side at Kingscliff. He also sought a complete rethink of industrial zoning within the community.
Dangerous highway interchange ‘We have major concerns about this highway interchange and how dangerous it is,’ he said. He was backed up by Cr Joan van Lieshout who said that though the RTA plans had been on the table since 2005 ‘this is a new council and a new growing community.’ ‘There’s enormous concerns about the impact this will have on the feel of Chinderah and the growth of tourism there,’ she said. ‘The state government may have its plans but they are not set in concrete.’ Cr Skinner said a public outcry at developments in Ozone Street, which were integral with the highway interchange project, made a rethink of the zoning for the whole area a matter of urgency. ‘I live in Chinderah and the amount of angst this is causing makes a rethink necessary. ‘We’ve got to look seriously at alternative zoning. Maybe this type of industry is not the way to go.’ Cr Katie Milne said it was an opportunity to look at softer
Mayor Kevin Skinner told the Tweed Shire Council meeting this week that it was ‘an absolute disgrace’ that no representative from the RTA had shown up at meetings over their proposed Chinderah development.
tourism options such as canoeing and riverside walks. Cr Skinner received unanimous support from councillors for his Chinderah initiatives.
The truck stop plans were exposed in The Echo last week after resident groups fighting two development applications for an access road in Ozone
Street accidently stumbled over references to the truck stop in DA documents. An access road was needed to service an industrial subdivision. One lot in the subdivision was needed by the RTA to provide access in and out of the highway service centre, which was to be built largely on adjacent Crown land. Confirmation of the truck stop plans came from RTA regional manager David Bell in a letter to council general manager Mike Rayner. Mr Bell was apologising for the fact no RTA representatives were available to show up at a workshop arranged by the council for stakeholders in the Ozone Street development. The latest DA proposed an access road running past the Royal Pacific Caravan Park. The council this week deferred a decision on the DA application to enable a full review of the area’s zoning.

A formal complaint has been lodged against the Tweed Shire Council over its handling of enquiries into a Chinderah development application. The complaint was lodged by the president of the Tweed Heritage Caravan Park Residents Association Lynda Mack who headed a campaign to stop an access road being built down Ozone Street. In a formal letter to the council general manager Mike Rayner on Monday Ms Mack said documents related to the development application had been ‘sanitised’. She said all references to a 24-hour highway service centre on an Ozone Street industrial development were removed from documents attached to DA09/006. Ms Mack earlier told The Echo she had discovered a smoking gun while searching
the DA documents referring to a highway service centre planned for Chinderah’s quiet neighbourhood. The truck stop planned by the RTA was to be built on adjacent Crown land but required one of the lots in the industrial development to make it viable. The industrial allotment, in turn, needed an access road and developers proposed concreting over an old waterway that ran down Ozone Street. Ms Mack said she asked a council officer to photocopy documents associated with the DA including the one referring to the service centre. But when she got home she discovered it had not been photocopied. On a second trip to the council two days later she found the service centre document was missing. ‘All the old yellowy pages were gone and replaced by newly photocopied white pages.’
Ms Mack said she made her original enquiries in October 2009. ‘My reason for not putting in a complaint earlier was I had no trust or belief that council would investigate council,’ she told Mr Rayner. Ms Mack’s action has won support from Cr Joan van Lieshout. ‘Your official complaint allows the council to investigate your claims of inappropriate administration within the council,’ she wrote to Ms Mack in an email. ‘It is the general manager’s responsibility to investigate any complaints regarding staff and administration. ‘Be assured of my responsibility in this matter’. The Ozone Street plan was subsequently amended and a new DA was lodged to install another access road past the Royal Pacific Caravan Park. This has sparked angry protests from residents in that park.

behind the demands declined to comment on this aspect. But a spokesperson for the Minister for Local Government told The Echo that the Local Government Act 1993 under which the legal demand was made restricted the unlawful disclosure of information. ‘Depending on the circumstances of the disclosure, these provisions may apply to com-
munity members as well as council officers,’ the spokesperson said, adding that ‘council and any individuals involved in this matter should be guided by their own independent legal advice’. Meanwhile, an anonymous Cabarita resident has already donated $1,000 for the association’s legal fighting fund, set up to for legal costs of association members threatened with legal action. ■ See Editorial, page 8

Polglase had made a derogatory remark to her during an anti-Byrrill Creek dam protest outside the council chambers last October. He told the 80-year-old woman to ‘get a job’. An angry Ms Jack attended this week’s council meeting and one supporter had to be warned by mayor Kevin Skinner several times to stop interjecting. Finally, after the dinner break, Cr Skinner’s patience gave out and he ordered the supporter to leave the gallery. When she refused, the security guard was called. The woman continued to protest claiming she had been assaulted. Cr Skinner then ordered the adjournment of the meet-
ing till the fracas died down and the woman was eventually ushered out protesting loudly. The Cr Polglase remark had prompted Ms Jack to file a formal complaint. An independent reviewer, David Gibson, found Cr Polgase had breached the council’s Code of Conduct requiring councillors to ‘treat others with respect.’ Mr Gibson’s report tabled this week recommended the council require Cr Polglase apologise to Ms Jack. Cr Polglase was nearly two hours late for the meeting. Cr Skinner attempted to deal with the matter in his absence but Ms Jack demanded he be in the room. When he finally did turn
up Cr Dot Holdom said he should leave the room as he had a ‘non-pecuniary interest’ in the matter. His departure was greeted with cries of ‘shame’ from the gallery, much to the bemusement of a boy scout troup who were also in the chamber. ‘That’s disgusting,’ said Ms Jack. ‘It’s another insult.’ The council was told Cr Polglase had already emailed an apology to Ms Jack. But outside the chamber Ms Jack said the apology was pretty brief and she was still extremely angry about it. The Gibson report said Cr Polglase could not remember the incident. ‘He said he may have said it in general terms but to no one in particular,’ said Mr Gibson.
Council rejects vote by the people A bid to have a popularly elected mayor in Tweed was voted down by the Tweed Shire Council this week.

Council urged to stop dam planning Luis Feliu
Save Byrrill Creek campaigners have called on Tweed Council to immediately cancel its $3.6 million pre-approval planning process for the contentious Byrrill Creek dam in light of the recent state government legislation ruling out any new dams for at least ten years. Sp okeswoman Jo anna Gardner told councillors during community access last Thursday the new Tweed Water Sharing Plan gazetted by the state government late last year was legally binding and set a precedent for any further approvals. Ms Gardner said the water sharing plan had given council an opportunity ‘to bow out gracefully’ from the proposed dam and ‘also came early enough to save Tweed ratepayers a lot of money: $67 million for the larger dam or $45 mill for the smaller dam’. She reminded mayor Kevin
Skinner of his comments last year that if the dam was going to be stopped by government legislation then it should be done as soon as possible to save time and money and warned councillors if they continued along the new dam path, the public outcry would escalate. ‘Maybe the councillors’ hopes are with the election of a new state government in March that this may alter the situation; however, it would take an act of parliament through both upper and lower houses… to change the water sharing plan which is legislated for ten years,’ she said.
Against a brick wall ‘I suggest the council has come up against a brick wall and you should cut your losses now and use this golden opportunity to look at other water options for the Tweed.’ She said there were many other options available to building dams or a pipeline to
Queensland ‘which the council has been unwilling to include’ in their water augmentation plans, including water saving measures in all new developments such as dual reticulation and water tanks which would negate the need for any new dam. Other councils throughout NSW and Australia had implemented these technologies.
‘Enviable’ position Meanwhile, council has been given a recent study which concludes that compared with other parts of Australia the Tweed was in an ‘enviable’ position of having plenty of water to meet its current needs and projected demands for the next 12 years. The review on the shire’s demand management strategy and water supply options, by Lennox-Head based Geolink Environmental Consultant, was handed to senior officers last week by Save Byrrill Creek campaigners.
Hands on at the Tweed art gallery
‘The shire does not face an imminent water shortage crisis and, as such, there is no need to urgently pursue any major water supply augmentation works,’ the review said. ‘There is considerable uncertainty regarding the rate of future growth of water demand in the shire. The date at which the current secure yield will be exceeded is heavily influenced by the success of council’s adopted demand management strategy. ‘If council was to adequately fund and vigorously pursue the actions specified in the demand management strategy, it is quite possible that no water supply augmentation would be required within the planning horizon to 2036. ‘Council will be monitoring the success of the proposed demand management strategies over the coming years and the forecasts of future water demands will be continually refined. ‘Given the need to upgrade the Clarrie Hall Dam spillway, there was an opportunity to expand the capacity of the dam at the same time. However, it is understood that the spillway upgrade will now proceed independently of any potential future works to increase the capacity of the dam,’ the review concluded.

Farmers’ market set for Murwillumbah Tweed Shire Council’s approval of a weekly farmers’ market in Murwillumbah will give Tweed locals the opportunity to buy fresh locally grown produce. From April 6, the Caldera Farmers’ Market will be held every Wednesday from 7am to 11am in the dairy pavilion at the Murwillumbah Showground and will focus on the wide variety of fruits and vegetables grown in the surrounding Tweed Valley. Destination Tweed chief Phil Villiers said the markets had the potential to boost tourism www.tweedecho.com.au
to the area as well as increasing sales for local producers. ‘Experience from neighbouring foodie destinations and overseas communities where the market tradition is very well established shows that farmers’ markets serve as a tourist attraction and a promotion of the destination as a whole,’ he said. The shire’s tourism group had worked closely with the Caldera Institute, the major driving force for the markets in partnership with representatives from Tweed Shire Coun-
cil and Industry and Investment NSW. Caldera Institute project manager, Anne Duke, said the farmers’ market would be ‘a huge drawcard for the sales and promotion of our local produce’. ‘For generations farmers in the Tweed have been producing bananas, sugarcane, dairy, beef and small crops, and the list continues to grow with berries, citrus, coffee, honey, mushrooms and a score of local rainforest foods now available,’ she said.

Council asks for more time on Cobaki Murray Simpson
The deadline for submissions for the first stage of the massive Cobaki residential project close next week and a worried Tweed Shire Council has begged for more time to consider it. The project is so large it has been placed in the hands of the state government-appointed joint regional planning panel on which the council has two representatives. At its meeting this week the council agreed to seek an extension of time so the public had the chance to make further submissions.
Cr Katie Milne said yesterday the development, which takes in some of the environmentally sensitive Macpherson Range, should not be rushed as it takes in such an important area. ‘It’s a biodiversity hotspot and we’ve got to get it right,’ she said. The Leda Holdings development proposes nearly 1,000 residential lots on the border area in the first stage of what will eventually be a mini-city of over 5,000 lots. Cr Joan van Lieshout said there was a great deal of pressure from the Gold Coast for the project to proceed.
‘Southern Cross University are specially keen for affordable accommodation to come on line,’ she said. But Cr Milne said it should be a state-of-art creation that dovetailed in with the Gold Coast’s green spaces program.
Dual reticulation ‘We have to have water sensitive concepts like dual reticulation,’ she said. ‘It’s got to have a positive impact on the environment – not a negative one. ‘This is a biodiversity hotspot and has to be wildlife friendly.’ Cr Milne said it tied in with
the National Iconic Landscape Strategy embraced by the council this week. A report to the council said the Tweed caldera, dubbed Australia’s Green Cauldron, was listed among the nation’s top ten attractions on the Australian National Landscape register. It ranks number three behind the Australian Alps and Australia’s coastal wilderness but ahead of the Red Centre, the Flinders Ranges and the Kimberley. The council this week agreed to allocate $60,000 to develop a scenic landscape protection strategy.
School bus seat belts ‘overdue’ – Greens candidate The Greens are calling on the federal and NSW governments to prioritise this program and release the funds as a matter of urgency to all bus companies which travel along regional and rural routes. Ms Stock (pictured left) said that currently it was incumbent upon private bus operators to make their own applications for funding, which is preventing the large-scale roll out of these life-saving devices. A candidate in the upcoming state election has called for the mandatory use of seat belts on all school buses. Greens candidate for the seat of Lismore (which takes in Murwillumbah, Uki and other rural areas), Susan Stock, said she supported the call by communities across the state for all rural and regional school buses in NSW to be fitted out with 3-point seat belts as recommended by the National Transport Commission in 2005. ‘Funding has been approved by the Commonwealth government, but only 10 per cent has been accessed,’ she said. ‘We all know that seat belts save lives, so why aren’t all the school buses which travel on our dangerous and pot-holed rural roads fitted out with them?
‘I’m concerned that schoolage children are travelling along major transport corridors without mandatory seatbelts. It’s no excuse that the government states that buses are prohibited from travelling more than 80km/hour when there are standing school passengers. Children’s safety is far too important to have these funds being held up in bureaucratic red tape.’ The Greens want the leg-
islative loophole removed which allows contractors in regional and rural NSW to use buses earmarked for urban areas for travelling along major freight corridors without seatbelts and with standing passengers. ‘Why is it illegal for passengers in private vehicles to do this but the government thinks that it is acceptable for children as young as five to do so on school buses?
TOOT president to contest seat as independent Trains on our Tracks (TOOT) campaigner Karin Kolbe (right) will contest the state seat of Ballina, which takes in the southern part of the Tweed Coast including Pottsville, in the March state election as an independent. The transport activist, book publisher and BayFM broadcaster said that by running as an independent she could ‘truly represent the community’s needs rather than follow a party line’. ‘Independents achieve better results for their communities because they are not beholden to parties, donors or Macquarie Street,’ Ms Kolbe said. ‘Action on rail and other transport services is essential.

Comment
Born-to-rule Tories set to go rogue
Volume 3 #23
February 17, 2011
Over the top It would be a big surprise if the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) acceded to a request by council supremo Mike Rayner to investigate the leaking of plans for a caravan park at Cabarita to the local residents’ association. The council claims the plans contain commercially sensitive information which must stay secret because they could either confer a commercial advantage on competitors or put the council at a commercial disadvantage. But now the plans are out in the open these arguments – like most pretexts for secrecy – don’t seem to hold any water. They simply confirm that the council has entered into a cosy arrangement with a government agency to turn beachfront Crown land into a money-making holiday park which will no doubt be the envy of private tourism operators denied similar opportunities. They also disclose for the first time that at least 80 of the 200-odd sites are earmarked for permanent holiday homes, which will be in direct competition with the private sector who are battling to fill their own tourist resorts. The Echo suspects that the real reason for the secrecy is to avoid a predictable backlash from private operators who will be rightfully arguing that they will be competing on anything but a level playing field. If Mr Rayner wants to drag the corruption watchdog into the fray perhaps he should also ask them to decide whether council’s solicitors over-stepped the mark by sending a heavy-handed ultimatum to the residents’ association demanding the return of the documents containing details of the plans. The letter, which wrongly implies that residents had acted illegally and could be subject to legal action and costs, so upset one recipient that she was made to feel ‘ill with worry.’ And to make their trip to the far north of the state worthwhile, maybe he should be offering the commissioners a few more matters to pique their interest. He could start by suggesting that they also investigate allegations in last week’s Echo that his staff removed crucial documents from a file on a four-lot industrial subdivision at Chinderah revealing that developers planned to plonk a truck-stop in the midst of some 500 residents. And if he’s serious about plumbing leaks perhaps he should get them to investigate how a private exchange of emails between him and Cr Katie Milne over a dubious debt came to be leaked to the media last year. And while they’re at it they might want to ask about a claim (since denied) made by a National Party apparatchik to The Echo that a sitting councillor received an undeclared $6,000 donation from a leading party figure just prior to the council elections. They could also talk to residents of the Noble Lakeside Park who continue to question the timing of council drainage works which have made it possible for a developer to expand the size of his manufactured home estate if he wins an appeal set down for hearing next month. Mr Rayner may also like to ask investigators to clear the air following allegations made under parliamentary privilege late last year linking him and Cr Dot Holdom in the misuse of the complaints handling process to discredit Crs Milne and Joan van Lieshout.

ustralia’s conservatives are very bad losers. This is because they believe they never should lose and when they do it is a momentary aberration, to be corrected as soon as possible. While they would no longer describe themselves as born to rule, they clearly still believe that are the most qualified to do so; the sages and elders whom Plato would have chosen to preside over his Republic. They are the natural party of government, as inevitable as gravity and much more so than climate change. For them to be out of power is a disruption of the order of things, almost a breach of natural law. And so it follows that they are justified in using any means, however ruinous and desperate, to regain power. We saw this conviction in its full fury during the Whitlam years, in which two state premiers defied convention and the will of the people by appointing rogue senators to subvert the result of the previous election, where successive federal opposition leaders broke a long-standing convention by denying supply to the government, where a former Liberal minister turned chief justice gave blatantly partisan advice to the pliant governor-general and where that same viceroy contemptuously rejected the decisions of the parliament and even refused to receive its speaker. All this carnage was justified in the name of restoring ‘good’ government; the established process was simply collateral damage. Democracy had to be destroyed in order to save it, and the subsequent election, at which a bewildered public obediently followed the lead given by their Queen’s representative, surely the ultimate arbiter, was
taken to legitimise what was in fact a simple coup. But when peace and order were finally restored, even the victorious Tories agreed that some amendments were in order. The events of 1975 had been too divisive and destructive, altogether, and should not be allowed to recur – until now. Tony Abbott has apparently decided that it is time to attempt a rerun. Abbott is not just a bad loser; he refuses to accept that he has lost at all. For Abbott the
cities affected, and both Windsor and Oakeshott represent such cities. So when parliament resumed this year the National Senator Fiona Nash presented a bill designed to restore the former arrangement. It passed the senate with the help of the two independents, the accidental Steve Fielding, who despite being rejected by the voters last August continues to infest the place until June, and Nick Xenophon, who should really have known better. Because there is catch: bring-
For Abbott the election of 2010 is not actually over; polling day and the formation of a minority government were simply skirmishes in the ongoing campaign.
by Mungo MacCallum election of 2010 is not actually over; polling day and the formation of a minority government were simply skirmishes in the ongoing campaign. It remains his duty and destiny to reoccupy the Treasury benches, and once again, the end justifies the means. The simplest way to achieve his aim is to wedge the independents away from Julia Gillard, and the two most likely are obviously the rural pairing of Tony Windsor and Rob Oakeshott – particularly the latter, who is said to be under mounting pressure from his own electorate. And thus the plan has been hatched. In the last budget the government made some alterations to the grant given to students from rural areas which had the effect of excluding those living in or near the larger regional centres. This caused some understandable resentment in the
ing the regional centres back into the process would entail an additional cost of $370 million and Section 53 of the Constitution is quite explicit: ‘Proposed laws appropriating revenue or moneys, or imposing taxation, shall not originate in the senate … the senate may not amend proposed laws imposing taxation or proposed laws appropriating revenue or moneys for the ordinary annual services of the government. ‘The senate may not amend any proposed law so as to increase any proposed charge or burden on the people.’ It seems pretty clear: Nash’s bill is prima facie unconstitutional and Gillard is quite right in rejecting it out of hand. But the matter does not end there. Having been passed by the senate (where, one would have thought, the clerk would have advised the President that it should not even have been debated) the bill now goes
automatically to the House of Representatives. There, the clerk, with the backing of the commonwealth’s senior law officers the Attorney General and the Solicitor General, will advise the speaker that it is unconstitutional and the speaker will declare it out of order. But what happens then if Abbott moves dissent from the speaker’s ruling, and, heavens forfend, the independents vote with the opposition? The bill would have to be debated, and if passed, sent to the governor general for final approval. Presumably Gillard would advise her to withhold it. But this would involve defying the will of the parliament, repeating Sir John Kerr’s offence of 1975. Perhaps we would then see a no confidence motion get up and the fall of the government – or perhaps at some stage the High Court would intervene to confirm that the speaker had been correct and the parliament itself was now acting outside the Constitution … The potential for chaos is almost unlimited. Of course it needn’t happen and the best way to ensure that it doesn’t would be for the independents to accept the speaker’s ruling and stick with Gillard. But Abbott seems set firmly on the path of tearing down the government, no matter what the cost to the system which, he keeps assuring us, has served us so well. And this is the ultimate contradiction: in his lust for power, the so-called conservative has become a wild-eyed iconoclast, red in tooth and claw. It would seem that those television pictures of him speechless with rage, quivering with fury like a maniac about to seize axe and slay five, gave us a glimpse of the real Tony Abbott. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Great that The Echo is covering the coal seam gas (CSG) mining industry which is poised to smite Tweed Shire with global ferocity. CSG is happening all over the world from Africa to Oz and if people do not make a noise, sustainable renewable energy will remain on the backburner. Last year the federal government spent $3.8 million to investigate the effect on underground water supplies of CSG mining because farmers were concerned about the impacts that extensive dewatering of coal seams would have on groundwater reserves, ie. the environment. To date there has been no result from this investigation and no legislation in place to cover CSG extraction because scientific knowledge of impacts on groundwater resources is unresolvable, ie. millions of litres of salt water and chemicals forced to the surface with nowhere to go means salination and contamination problems forever. Meanwhile press coverage, sales pitch and government
Greens are a broad church
■ In gentle (not harsh) response to Gavin Lawrie’s letter, I wish to enlighten him and your readers on how to best make your vote count. That is, to vote for the political party which best reflects the philosophy and actions of Jesus Christ – a man who cared about people and the planet, who loved everyone equally, a socialist who went about bridging the gap between the rich and poor, extending a loving hand to the lost, the lonely, the outcast. A revolutionary against injustice. The only party which rises above self-interest and is there for the common good is the Greens. Yes, they welcome homosexuals and atheists. They also welcome Christians, Muslims and those from any other faith
or ethnic background. They do not discriminate based on race, religion, class or culture – but believe that all deserve the same right to the quality of life that so many of us enjoy and often take for granted. The Greens’ environmental values are stronger than ever in the face of the real and present danger of climate change, and if we care about family we should vote for the party which will promote and enact policies to protect and enrich our children’s lives into the future.
department pressure from global mining companies give CSG credibility and entrenches public opinion. A letter I received from the NSW Department of Primary Industry assured me no ‘harmful’ chemicals would be used and that salination is not an issue in CSG mining because drilling operations were monitored. What a load of codswallop. There is opposition to CSG mining with farmers in Queensland involved in a ‘lock the gate’ campaign
opposed to plans for up to 40,000 CSG wells and massive new coal mines on agricultural lands of the Darling Downs. To promote renewable energy production and a safe and stable climate for the future means more than just a vote for the Greens at the state election in March. It means googling Coal Seam Gas and letting all levels of government know what you know.

As for claims of permission granted by the Department of Water and Energy to carry out earthworks and building on a flood plain, there would have had to have been overriding state legislation applied before works were allowed to proceed. The pertinent question is what council’s response is when development works are first reported by concerned residents. Such reports are not uncommon. It seems in this case local residents are being responsible in raising issues of concern with council but council officers have not acted early enough or followed through effectively on the advice received. This has left councillors in a bit of a bind, not as put in supporting letters ‘…backpedalling on a decision’, or ‘… changing their mind.’ After all it cannot be, as one letter to the editor reads, a free-for-all for those ‘wishing to improve their properties to improve their lifestyle.’ There is much to question about the environmental credentials, land and water management of the current council, but on this issue I think they are closer to putting a bad decision right.

‘Communicating incorrect or misleading information’
n In your article ‘Council snubs Cabarita Park meeting’ last week, you refer to a media release of February 8 regarding the Cabarita South Precinct developer plans, in which the executive manager of the Tweed Coast Holiday Parks Reserve Trust (TCHPRT), Mr Richard Adams, stated that ‘some of the information communicated to the public was either incorrect or misleading’. This is clearly in reference to the information presented by the Cabarita Beach/ Bogangar Residents’ Association at their community information meeting on January 31, which Mr Adams declined to attend. Frustratingly though, it is Mr Adams himself who is at odds with the information published in his own concept plans on the LPMA website when he states in the same media release, ‘the proposed holiday park site is not opposite the school, but approximately 130m further south and further separated by the main road and generous buffer areas’. At first glance at the developer’s slick concept plans, you might be fooled by the highly stylised green-shaded area that gives the (false) impression that the caravan
park site is indeed well south of the school and does have generous buffers. So far, so good. However, if you look more closely at the other smaller plans, you can see that the yellow ‘Proposed Holiday Park Site’ which includes a ‘conservation area’ clearly extends to include the area directly opposite Bogangar Public School. On another small plan, the red-and-white shaded area of the actual caravan park site itself clearly starts at a point opposite the southern boundary of the school and not 130 metres to the south as Mr Adams falsely claims. If it was, it would be more than half-way towards the roundabout at Sandalwood Drive, which is where the proposed entrance is. Furthermore, a ‘confidential’ aerial photo plan and caravan park design layout, which Tweed Shire Council is taking legal action against the Residents’ Association to suppress, also shows that the ‘generous buffer’ mentioned by Mr Adams is little more than a single row of trees in front of a fence. I suggest that before Mr Adams starts pointing the finger at the volunteers of a local community group
for presenting ‘incorrect or misleading’ information, he should ensure that the developer spin being put out by his Gold Coast PR company is more accurate. Ashley Baldry
Cabarita Beach/Bogangar Residents’ Association n Tweed Shire councillors should hang their heads in shame at the legal writs which have been delivered to members of the Cabarita Beach Residents’ Association, including a writ to a pensioner who has worked tirelessly for the village over the past ten years. Recently she has led the protest against the proposed Caravan Park on the Cabarita Beach foreshore. Tweed Shire Council has demanded the return of detailed plans showing the extent of the proposed park and other relevant information which mysteriously fell into the hands of the residents’ association. Already material has been censored from the residents’ website. It seems ironic that council is using such bullying tactics to recover plans which were deemed non-existent! If in fact detailed plans for the caravan park do exist, don’t the residents have the right to access them during
Byron Community College
the important public consultation period? Ironic also is the fact that Tweed Council spent a great deal of time and resources canvassing the community discovering that the key issues of consultation, environmental issues and transparency were regarded as priorities of the residents. C ouncillors w ho are elected by the community should be consulting with and supporting its volunteers rather than employing the heavy-handed bullying tactics which have caused unnecessary anxiety and financial cost to the residents of Cabarita Beach/ Bogangar.

as this would give them indication of the concerns of the local residences. Concerning the caravan park we were informed that the same people were in charge of the Tweed Coast Holiday Parks Reserve Trust and the Tweed Council, and as a result any complaints by the Cabarita locals are being determined by the same people, which I find to be a conflict of interest. I have recently moved permanently to Cabarita from Queensland where a councillor is voted to represent each ward but this is not the case here. I thought Australia was a democratic country where the people can have a fair and honest debate, but it appears Tweed Council operates under a dictatorship attitude whereby the committees dealing with local issues are the same people on each committee and will not meet your local residents as they are afraid of answering questions. I am totally concerned that on such important issues that affect so many people, not only now but our children in the future. Come on Tweed Council, let’s be transparent and willing to meet your ratepayers or is it 2005 repeating itself again?
n This is a reply to your editorial of February 10 concerning the meeting that was held at Cabarita Sporting Club to inform local residents about the Tweed Shire Council proposal for a caravan park and a new housing estate to be built in Cabarita. Firstly I am appalled at the lack of respect this council gives its ratepayers. It cannot even turn up at this important meeting, especially when over 400 people were in attendance. At this meeting a number of speakers gave us informaIan Wilson Cabarita tion concerning the areas that are being proposed as the sites for building pro- n I find it interesting that jects. We were asked to write ‘Richard Adams states, via our objections to these pro- consultants, that local resiposals to the Tweed Council dents are not getting the full
facts about the controversial caravan park’. I’m not surprised. Firstly, why does he only comment via PR consultants? And who pays for these? Secondly, the residents’ association had a public information meeting to which 400 people attended and Richard (and/or his PR consultants) were invited, but refused to attend. Thirdly, he sends a legal letter of demand, making threats to an aged pensioner. These add up to no way of communicating with the community. What message does this intimidation send to all volunteer, community groups? My understanding of what has stirred Richard’s (and his PR consultant-team’s) ire, is that they are presenting a smaller-than-realistic-sized map of the scale and location of the proposed tourist van park. This is false and misleading and far from honest, transparent communication from a council employee. The Bogangar/Cabarita Beach Residents’ Association have committed the heinous crime of publishing the actual, factual map on their website. By the way, who has a PR consultant team? Who needs (and why) a PR consultant firm? Who pays for these first-line-of-defence consultants? Who sends intimidating legal letters to community groups? Of course! The Hollow Men! Tim Smerd

Television Guide 1. John Malkovich is the retiring spy whose files are stolen by his angry wife in the Coen Bros’ black comedy Burn After Reading (Prime, Friday, 8.30pm). Brad Pitt is fabulously funny. 2. Ben Stiller does it tough as the night guard in the comedy romp Night At The Museum (TEN, Saturday,7.30pm) with cameos by the wonderful Mickey Rooney and Dick Van Dyke. 3. Dumb meets Dumber in the schlockfest Alien Vs Predator (7Mate, Sunday, 8.30pm), a sad end to two good horror franchises. Corrosive saliva, sharp weapons, what more could you want? A plot?

through hurt to healing. VIRGO: This congenial, upbeat week kicks off with plenty of drive and initiative – your challenge is sustaining this vibrant can-do mood in the face of people only hearing what they want to hear and ignoring the rest. You may have to spell out important communications by repeating them. LIBRA: People’s personal peculiarities could be peaking this week, but don’t let their hanky panky make you cranky. We all have irritating inconsistencies, even Librans. If the full moon sparks flare-ups in your domestic sector, be the voice of reason even when others are unreasonable. SCORPIO: This week honest discussions which don’t hold back could clear a new way forward. And it’s worth

But with Mars/Venus friction stirring up relationship complications, it’s an idea to look at how much your own judgments and expectations are contributing to the situation. You might be surprised. PISCES: Planetary healer Chiron in Pisces helps delete old sabotage patterns and this week sharpens your capacity for self-critiquing, especially around the ways you work with others. If you’re stubbornly clinging to old ideas that aren’t serving you, what do you have to lose by changing them?

Last week’s solution
CHESS
by Ian Rogers Play at Seagulls Club, Thurs 6-10pm In January 2011 the organisers of the 73rd edition of the traditional tournament in Wijk aan Zee, with its new sponsor Tata Steel, managed to bring together – for the first time in a decade – the four highest rated players in the world: Magnus Carlsen, Viswanathan Anand, Levon Aronian and Vladimir Kramnik. The battle for first place between these four rivals was expected to be fierce, but the party was crashed by US Grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura. From the first rounds, Nakamura made all the running and even after a heavy loss to Carlsen in the eighth round, he stayed on top, tied with Anand.When Nakamura made a break in the final rounds, no one could stay with him and the American scored his first Grand Slam victory. This was only the second tournament in 18 months that Carlsen failed to win, and his third place allowed Anand to depose him as world number one. The following game was one of Carlsen’s rare bright moments.

overseas and got super powers. It’s like the first time someone took Rain Man to the casino. ‘Ah, now I can see how you can make me some money!’ Do they understand what you are talking about? Yes, but I do have to be careful to speak more slowly so they can understand my accent. And you have to be careful about little bits of language, or turns of phrase. One time here I talked about how I was meant to have a meeting with a guy, but I ‘blew him off ’. It’s fair to say the audience’s reaction immediately informed me that expression means something different here from what it does back home. Many years ago I was doing a show in New York and talking about George Bush. I said: ‘I don’t want now he’s in LA, and the next time Itowas hang shit on George Bush’. And everyone looked he sets foot on Aussie soil it will be at me like I literally wanted to ‘hang shit’ on George Like I was some sort of defecation decorator, for a gig at the Byron Services Club Bush. Brown Eye for the Head Of State Guy. on Saturday 26 February. What are some of the ideas that you are going to be bringing to the stage in Byron, in the process Wil, what exactly are you doing in LA? I informed of working up a new show? I’m looking forward on a mob boss, so I had to go into the Witness Relocation Program. I have spent the last four months to being as surprised by that as the audience is. That’s why these shows are so much fun. I laugh performing a drag act in the US under the name more in these shows than I do in the rest of the tour Kerry-Man Kennerley. I’m hoping it will all eventually get made into a movie: I’m thinking Underbelly meets combined, because often it is the first time I am hearing the jokes as well. And to quote Paul Kelly: Sister Act. from little things big things grow. I remember last But really I have been doing the same thing over here year getting heckled at the end of the show about my as I do at home: trying to make people laugh for a vegetarianism, and that whole exchange grew into a living. The making them laugh bit of that equation massive piece that I did for the rest of the tour. That seems to be going really well; the making a living part heckle ended up paying a lot of my bills that year. still has some work to be done. In a few months when my savings run out I may be standing in the mall with You have a high profile, and a year comes around pretty quickly. How do you cope with the pressure a cardboard sign that says: ‘Will Tell Jokes For Food!’ to create high-quality new material so rapidly? Are the comedy scene and the audience There is no doubt that the audience appetite for expectations different over there? They are very new jokes is the toughest part of the job, and in supportive crowds. They want you to go well, even if the writing process I am constantly torn between they don’t know who you are. Certainly the opposite the desire to express myself and the fear that I have of the UK where I was once booed before I even got to stage just because I was from Australia. Someone I nothing interesting to say. know described the difference in audience styles as: I have written a new show every year for the last 15 America is ‘yes you can’; Australia is ‘bet you can’t’. And years, but how I put together a show has changed the UK is ‘fuck you for trying’. considerably in the last few years. I think the easiest way to describe it is that I used to think of the show But is the scene very different? Not really. The as a bucket. And to fill up the bucket you need 60–70 overwhelming feeling I get sitting backstage minutes of new jokes. So I would work on a bit here, surrounded by comics waiting to go on is, ‘I know all and a bit there, and when they were done I would put these people, they just have different accents’. them in the bucket, and when the bucket was full I Do you find yourself changing or modifying your had a new show. material or your style to suit Americans? Definitely. These days I write really differently from that. I write I mean obviously material-wise there are some things the new show over about three months, but the first you know aren’t going to translate. You are not going month all I do is think about it. Albert Einstein had a to get many laughs with Barnaby Joyce references at thinking chair that he would just sit in for an hour a the Hollywood Improv. But the more surprising thing, day, and I honestly believe you can cut out so much I think, is when a bit of material I do in Australia gets wasted time just by taking some time to think before much bigger laughs in the US than it does back home. you put pen to paper. That is the one I find harder to explain. I have one The next month all I do is write. I have no plan, and piece about the electric chair that has always been I don’t have to be writing jokes; I don’t have to be one of my favourites, but never got massive laughs concentrating on wording, or structure – I just have back home. In the States it does so well I have been to be writing from the heart about things that I am interested in, no matter how big or small. At the end closing my shows with it. It’s like the material went

of that I might have somewhere around 50,000 words of notes. Then the most important thing happens: the edit. A show tends to be somewhere between 8,000 and 10,000 words. Michelangelo used to say that the sculpture was already in the block of stone, all he had to do was release it, and that is as close as I can offer to an explanation of what happens next. I just chip away, get rid of ideas I am sick of, or I think don’t stand up, and then I start to talk about the ideas I have left in shows like those in Byron. At that stage I won’t have written any ‘jokes’ as such; I will just be riffing on ideas and themes I find interesting and seeing if I have anything interesting to say. That helps me chip away more and more, until finally you are left with the show. Then you can fiddle with technical things like structure, or wording of lines, which is a process that tends to keep happening for the rest of the time I do the show. Why have you chosen Byron as the place you want to present Work in Progress? Who needs an excuse to go to Byron? I can do my trial shows anywhere, so I might as well do them at one of my favourite places on the planet. I mean I tried to get a room at the Playboy Mansion, but they seemed to be all booked up. Plus I have just spent the last four months in California where they have medicinal marijuana, so I think it is fitting I do my first gigs back in Australia in Byron – it will be like a halfway house easing me back into society. But what is the real reason? It works. I did two shows there last year, and I was really happy with the intelligence and support of the audience. A lot of the time in these shows I am making things up as I go, flying by the seat of my pants, and you need an audience who is willing to go with you. Last year I really felt they helped inform what ended up being my most successful show yet, so when it came around to deciding a venue for this year I didn’t really consider any other options. What are the issues that you are most passionate about? Do you find ways to incorporate them into your on stage patter? I think it was Nick Cave who said that audiences are coming out and paying money just to see what you have to say, so you might as well have something to say. My attitude is that I am going to live with this show for six months, and perform it well over 100 times, so the most important thing is that I have to be interested in the show. If I am passionate about what I have to say, then hopefully that will be infectious and rub off on the audience. So that is how I write now. Rather than starting with jokes, or funny things, and then trying to attach some meaning to them, I just tend to write about the issues I am passionate about – or feel like I have an interesting perspective on – and then try to find a way to express them comically.

I am
so sick of cleaning. Right now I’m sitting at my desk. There’s barely a space to house my tea cup. Open books, closed books, CDs, DVDs, files full of papers, boxes full of unsorted invoices. There’s dusty photos of kids in frames, pictures of me with my tits out (aren't they always?), scrunched up tissues, unopened gifts, newspaper clippings, and post-it notes stuck to the printer, stuck to the keyboard, stuck to my diary.

The Gold Coast based group has been playing jazz and blues inspired music for over seven years, and are strongly influenced by the music and rhythms of the late 50s and early 60s. As a result they have developed their own style of instrumental ‘soul jazz'. The bands ‘cool jazz’ sound is perfect for a chilled-out night. Their repertoire of songs includes a mix of jazz standards like Take Five and Autumn Leaves along with more original contemporary and funk styled grooves.

Continued from page 17 Do you think comedians aren’t just entertainers … do you think perhaps they’re social commentators? I know you’ve certainly said the odd thing that’s got a lot of attention? The funny thing for me is that I never set out to intentionally say anything controversial. I just try to say what I believe – and say it in a funny way – and sometimes people get upset by it. But I must confess that every time that happens I am surprised by it, because I never assume that anything I am saying is that controversial. It always amuses me when they write about it in the newspaper. I don’t take myself too seriously, so it always surprises me when other people do. I just tell dick jokes for cash at the end of the day. I remember one time I said something and it was on the front of all the papers in the country and my mum summed it up best when she said: ‘When did people start caring what you say?’ If you were advising newbie comics, what would you tell them? Don’t do comedy if you ‘want’ to do it. Don’t do comedy if you think it would be a good way to get on the TV or the radio, because there are heaps easier ways to do those things: just throw a party on Myspace or get your penis out in public or something. Only do comedy if you ‘have’ to do it, it’s too hard otherwise. And most importantly, don’t worry about the jokes too much when you first start; concentrate on finding your comic voice, what it is that you as an individual have to say. The great people nail this from the start. I think I have only started to work out what mine is in the last five years and if I had my time over this would be what I would have concentrated on. I’d love your response to a few of these topical subjects …

Gary Kafoa is a proud Indigenous man from the banks of the Tweed River whose father was a local tribal elder. Born and bred by the river he spent 30 years as a professional fisherman, and he also has a long history as a local musician. Using a mixture of traditional and modern instrumentation, Gary sings of what was passed down to him by his elders and contemporary issues that affect us all today, and trying to step outside traditional rock song structures has meant mixing didgeridoo with modern dance beats and his own funk percussion techniques. Dr Greg is a veteran of over 40 years on bass with bands of every hue from deep funk to space-rock, and his lifelong interest in ethnic musical forms means he can supply unique groove assistance to the project.

just landed a big GT minutes earlier, logic tells me the leader may have been weakened. The highlight was catching what we thought was a 5-6kg flathead. Well it was, but as I lifted the fish up next to the boat (the water was very clear with both of us watching this) the big fish spat out a small flathead that had taken my lure (57cm) so it wasn’t that small. How big was the other one? It was a very interesting sight to see. Obviously these guys are cannibals. The other highlight was running into three guys from the Goldy who had a great Sunday morning out on Nine Mile getting into some powerful tuna. They must have fought hard; check out the photo – they look like little rockets.

Cabarita goes to Guam The small Tweed Table Tennis Club at Cabarita Beach is about to take on the best the world has to offer after several of its players were selected in national teams. Twenty-year-old Wade Townsend has gained selection as one of three men to represent Australia at the World Individual Table Tennis Championships to be held in Rotterdam, Netherlands this May. Younger brother Kane, 17, will be part of the Australia Junior team which will be travelling to the small Pacific island of Guam for the World Junior Circuit event. While in Guam, Kane will be aiming to qualify for the World Junior
Championships to be held in Bahrain in December. If the team qualifies it will be Kane’s third successive year at the World Junior Championships, after Wade also qualified three years in a row. The brothers seem to be on track for their ultimate goal of representing Australia at the Olympic Games with both being selected in the Shadow Squad for the 2012 London Olympic Games. The Club also has two other players who were selected for the Guam Championships. Jake Duffy, 12, is the country’s number-one ranked U/13 player and Keryn Hunt, 17, will also be heading to Guam as part of
the Cook Island team. Club Secretary and Head Coach, Cathy Townsend, will manage the Australian team. After many years of coaching national junior and senior teams, this is Cathy’s first venture into international management she is extremely excited about the challenge. ‘It is a major event on the Oceania calendar and there are many different events happening at once,’ she said. ‘The biggest challenge is probably keeping everyone focused on the task at hand over the eight days of competition, especially when you consider that the ages of the players range from 10 to 18.’

Comprehensively covering the Far North Coast
With housing affordability worsening across Australia, the Housing Industry Association (HIA) is calling for swift and decisive action from government at all levels to address the barriers constraining housing supply. Australian property market reports continue to support comprehensive research undertaken by the HIA showing that Australia faces an ongoing housing affordability crisis that is threatening the great Australian dream of home ownership. HIA released a report in December 2010 indicating that Australia’s house prices, as a ratio of household income, have been rapidly growing for some time now in both capital city and regional areas, making it increasingly difficult for first home buyers to transition from the rental market into home ownership. ‘Many first home buyers are not in a position to make the transition to home ownership as they simply cannot afford it,’ said HIA Chief Executive, Graham Wolfe.
‘HIA research shows that while many factors contribute to the housing affordability picture, a major cause of falling affordability is that house price growth has outpaced growth in average wages over recent years. ‘HIA has clearly stated for some time now that poor affordability levels in both capital and regional housing markets have stemmed from large structural supply-side obstacles that could be alleviated by careful and considered reformation by government. ‘It’s time that serious and urgent policy action is taken to ensure there is sufficient serviced land for residential building in Australia. High land prices are due to a failure of policies at all levels of government to achieve a timely supply of land for residential development. ‘Similarly, state and territory planning schemes are stifling the capacity of industry to bring new residential infrastructure to market quickly and at an affordable price. A
commitment to streamline planning processes with an emphasis on efficiency must be adhered to by governments. ‘Given that stamp duty can be levied up to three times in the construction of a new house and land package, GST is paid on new homes but not existing homes, and infrastructure levies are excessively high in key markets, there is a desperate need to overhaul the way we tax residential building. ‘Governments at all levels need to increase their efforts to address these new housing supply-side issues as a matter of urgency. ‘As a nation, we need a prohousing commitment and culture from governments, communities, families and individuals.’

An avid follower of council goings-on yesterday emailed us with his ringside opinion of the antics on Tuesday night over the citing of former mayor for his ‘get-a-job’ jibe (see page 4). He writes: ‘Who are the morons who decided a Tweed Shire councillor had a conflict of interest in hearing the debate on his own Code of Conduct penalty? Are they the same morons who decided another councillor did not have a conflict of interest in a debate regarding the LEP for a development site of which his brother was employed by the developers as a caretaker? The code of conduct was introduced to bring transparency and accountability to the hearing of alleged misconduct claims against councillors and council staff. So where are those criteria now vested? With morons, obviously. You were right Phil, but about the wrong people.’ ■ ■ ■ ■
Would you like to stop using cannabis? Have withdrawal symptoms made it difficult for you to stop using in the past? Researchers from the University of Sydney are conducting a trial of an alternative medication for the treatment of cannabis withdrawal. This may help to reduce withdrawal symptoms experienced when people stop regular use. Participation in this study will require you to spend 7 days in an inpatient unit. Counselling will be available to those who request it.

The news just keeps getting worse for the Tweed Shire Council in its marathon legal battle with anti-rate-rise crusader Terry Sharples. The Tweed Heads accountant pulled off a surprise legal coup when Justice Virginia Bell agreed to allow the High Court to reconsider his appeal against annual rate rises contained in the council’s seven-year plan. The latest development is going to cost the council $60,000 to contest it in the High Court. All up, the exercise has cost the council $400,000, according to corporate services director Troy Green. The council has taken small comfort from the fact it is seeking costs from Mr Sharples who, according to planning director Vince Connell, seemed reluctant to pay.
The Kingscliff Beach caravan park is slowly losing its beach frontage to storm-driven erosion and Backburner wonders whether the proposed new caravan park for the beachfront south of Norries Headland at Cabarita could suffer a similar fate in years to come. Sand pumping using a dredge in Cudgen Creek to restore the badly eroded section of Kingscliff Beach began in earnest last week. A 200-metre ‘rock toe’ is also being built to provide future protection for the dunes there. Tweed Shire Council has engaged a dredging contractor to pump 8,000 cubic metres of sand from the creek bed to restore a 200m section of the beach and sand dunes along the coastline at Faulks Park. The beach, dunes and a large section of Faulks Park were washed away by waves and high tides last year, building upon the effects of storms in 2009. Work is expected to be completed before the NSW surf lifesaving titles to be held in Kingscliff next month but if not, the work will be postponed till after the titles. Photo Jeff Dawson
