Coalition goes cold on banning coal-seam gas Hopes of an unofficial moratorium on coal-seam gas (CSG) exploration licences in NSW since the change of government in March have failed to materialise and it’s business as usual for the mining sector. A public rally calling for an immediate ban on CSG mining to be held next Saturday, May 14, at Murwillumbah’s Knox Park at 11am, is expected to put pressure on the three local MPs in the government to work for a moratorium on the new industry. Since the Liberal-National coalition swept into power in March, the licensing authority, the Department of Primary Industries (DPI), has issued two new exploration licences. But so far the Tweed has been spared.
Macquarie Energy’s petroleum exploration licence (PEL) 134 application encompassing significant areas of the upper Tweed around Tyalgum is still being assessed and there is no indication when a decision is likely. A DPI spokesperson this week told The Echo the application was still under consideration and ‘there is no time frame for a decision at the moment’. Data amassed by the Kyogle-based Environmental Defenders Office (EDO) indicates two PELs have been issued by the department since March – one to Eastern Star Gas for the Moree and Warrumbungle Ranges area and the other to AGL for Guyra. The EDO’s Mark Byrne says the current regulatory structure is designed for orthodox prospecting but hopelessly inadequate to cope with
Rally unites community against CSG The public rally gainst coal-seam gas mining planned for next Saturday, May 14, at Murwillumbah’s Knox Park has brought together a range of diverse community lobby groups. The rally is being organised by the newly formed Northern Rivers Guardians (NRG) and the Caldera Environment Centre with support from the Combined Tweed Rural Industries Association and the local branch of the NSW Canegrowers Association. A meeting of the NRG at Tyalgum this week drew 30 people to plan local strategies for action and fundraising to fight CSG mining. NRG spokesman Michael McNamara said the rally, or ‘united community gathering’, would include a march through the Murwillumbah CBD from 11.15am and speakers from a range of community groups and organisations from noon. ‘Food will be available for purchase and families are encouraged to make a day of it,’ he said. ‘This campaign is all about the legacy we leave our children and grandchildren, whether it be in terms of viable agricultural or tourism enterprises, with the associated employment opportunities, or a healthy and vibrant environment.’ Further information is available at the NRG website www.northernriversguardians.org.
the issues created by the new technology associated with coal-seam gas exploration. In a submission to the NSW Coal and Gas Strategy scoping document earlier this year, Mr Byrne said one of the main issues with the current system is the underlying assumption that exploratory activities for CSG are benign. ‘It’s assumed that only much later in the process, that is when CSG is intended to be produced through extraction, is there a more rigorous environmental assessment required. ‘The fundamental problem with this system is that the Petroleum Act contains provisions that ultimately provide a legitimate expectation to companies which have undertaken exploration activities over an area, in that as long as their CSG production operation would not breach the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, that company would get a lease to produce CSG. ‘It may be that the ideological basis for this type of provision is rooted in the fact that all minerals and petroleum resources are owned by the Crown and companies extract those resources on behalf of the Crown. ‘What the laws governing CSG operations do not do is address specifically the unique problems identified and associated with CSG operations. ‘Specific laws are required as the CSG industry is new and expanding rapidly in NSW.’ Mr Byrne said a better system of regulation would address up front the impacts on groundwater, especially but not exclusively from fracking, the treatment of waste water, the provision of community consultation prior to the granting of PELs and a

Advice from the Chief Product Tester Dear Mrs Product Tester, I’ve got a rather embarrassing problem – my husband has smelly feet! I’m not even sure how to tell him! But fair dinkum his feet smell something awful. Have you got any ideas? I don’t want to be rude and offend him. Yours Ellen Dear Ellen You’re in luck, have I got the product for you! I’ve got these far-out and cosmic, you-bewt, whizz-bang bamboo sox. Apparently bamboo has a natural antibacterial in the fibre so it won’t wash out. Gotta be better than having pongy sox! I have it on good authority that you can wear bamboo sox for 3 or 4 days without washing them. So that could be the answer. They even make bamboo shirts, so if he has smelly armpits that’ll work as well. It’s amazing you can buy anything these days. Believe it or not I even ordered some men’s undies the other day that don’t smell… gotta be happy with that! Pretty soon I’ll have all these smelly blokes smelling like roses.

pany to set up a tourist operation on the Tweed River has sparked a storm of opposition from Fingal Head residents. The Tweed River Wake and Ski Pty Ltd has lodged a development application (DA) with the Tweed Shire Council to run a two-boat operation on the river, partly based at the Fingal Head boat ramp. But the Fingal Head Community Association says the DA is precious short on detail. ‘And the fact they call themselves a wake and ski company has set off alarm bells,’ says association president Dawn Walker. ‘Now it looks like we’ve got to do it all over again.’ Hel-a-va jet boats won approval to operate in February 2009 from a divided council but later abandoned the venture on financial grounds.
ist jet boats up the river. That sparked 150 submissions from this end of the river opposing it and there was equally strong opposition at Murwillumbah led by former Richmond MP Larry Anthony,’ Ms Walker said. The development application DA lodged by town planning consultant Darryl Anderson on behalf of Mark Dawson, managing director of Tweed River Wake and Ski, says one of the boats will be an eightmetre pontoon barbecue boat and the other a six-metre water-sports boat. The pontoon boat will take up to 12 people self drive or 22 people if skippered. The primary drop-off and pickup point will be a stretch of sand between the Banora Point Bridge and the old Barneys Point jetty.
DA submissions closed on Monday and caught the Fingal association off guard. ‘We weren’t aware of the nature of the DA till the last minute and there was a scramble to lodge submissions,’ said Ms Walker.
‘Low-key’ proposal However, 43-year-old Murwillumbah-born applicant Mark Dawson says the proposal is a very low-key familyoriented affair. ‘It’s nothing like the Hel-a-va Jet scheme,’ said Mr Dawson, a Tweed Heads based bricklaying contractor. ‘I’ve been involved with recreational water sports on the river all my life and we are not introducing anything foreign that is not already there. I’d hate to see that happen. ‘The water-sports boat will
We’ll be operating in a variety of locations depending on conditions.’ Fingal residents’ concerns included foreshore wake damage and disruption of bird and sea life in a sensitive wildlife habitat. But Mr Anderson said in the DA application the impact of the boats on the environment would be minimal because they used a planing hull that minimised wash. He said the Tweed River Estuary Bank Management Plan 2000 identified a number of spots where bank erosion is occurring. ‘The water-sports boats which could generate wave action will avoid those areas,’ he said. He added that the proposal would not significantly affect any critical habitat or threatened species.
Vintage films highlight rare footage of area’s history Rare vintage film and photographs from the Tweed’s museum collection showing life on the Tweed from the 1920s to the 1970s includes footage of early Banana Festivals, the 1969 cyclone, the opening of the Murwillumbah Bridge and construction of Tweed Mall and Clarrie Hall Dam. The Friends of Tweed River Regional Museum will host a screening of the vintage films next Thursday, May 12, at 6pm at the historic Regent Theatre in Murwillumbah and at the Cinemax Cinema at Kingscliff on Saturday, May 14, which has been sold out already. The events are being held as fundraisers for the ongoing development of Tweed River Regional Museum, with proceeds going towards the proposed new museum on Flag-
staff Hill, Tweed Heads and extensions to Murwillumbah Museum. The Friends this year donated money towards the digitisation of a number of films held in the museum collection and these fragile films are now preserved for future viewing, with some of the footage being included in this year’s film events.

Rates set to jump in new budget Murray Simpson
Tweed ratepayers can expect a hefty hit in the hip pocket this year as the council gears up to deliver an 8.29 per cent increase in rates. This means residential properties on the minimum rate can expect to pay a total of $1,858.20 including water and sewage – up from $1,716.45 last year. A draft budget was tabled by the director of corporate services Troy Green at the last council meeting and flags what is in store when the 2011-2012 budget is struck in June. It is now on public display for comment until May 27. The council has ministerial approval to hike ordinary rates by 7.5 per cent. But significant increases in sundry charges such as water, sewerage and waste management have lifted the total increases to 8.20 per cent. The bottom line is the minimum residential rate will be $871.40, up from this year’s
Run-down of the big-ticket items Banora Point’s sewage treatment plant upgrade is the biggest ticket item on this year’s council budget at $11.3 million. Pressure is on for a major upgrade following the adoption of the 2008 area E greenfields development scheme that provides for up to 3,500 new residential allotments at Terranora. Burringbar’s long awaited sewerage scheme is also a top biller with $5.3 million earmarked for reticulation and another $3.5 million for the treatment plant. Roads will scoff $7.5 million and water mains $6.8 million. The council has also earmarked $3.2 million for the Murwillumbah museum extension and another $1.1 million for the Flagstaff Hill museum. The Pottsville Beach Neighbourhood Centre will also be in the money to the tune of $1.1 million.
$810.60. However about half of the 35,000 residential properties in the shire will pay above the minimum. In addition special rates for streetscaping will apply to 151 Tweed Heads properties to pay off a $500,000 loan, and at Koala Beach 500 properties will continue to face a special environmental levy. Mr Green said the levy reflected the ‘intrinsic value of the
koalas and their habitat and will be spent on regulatory, educational and specialised maintenance functions.’ He said studies had highlighted the problem of having 900 dwellings adjacent to an area of high conservation value. ‘Therefore it is to the benefit of the wider community that funds be allocated to the koala management committee to maintain significant areas of the Koala Beach site’.
Tweed residents may have to consider showering with a friend as the screws are applied to water usage. The standard allocation before excess water charges kick in has been dropped from 350kL to 300kL per year. Residential users will face an access charge of $118 before they turn on the tap, up from $106. They then face consumption charges of $1.85 per kL (formerly $1.65/ kL) and excess rates will rise more steeply by $2.80kL ($2.50kL). Then there’s the garbage. A fee of $118.00 ($99.20) applies to the rubbish and recycle bin collections. Then there’s a $60.80 ($60.10) recycling charge to pay for promotion, education and future recycling projects, and a waste management charge of $50.70 ($47.35). All up taking out the garbage will cost $229.80. Sewerage charges have also taken a hit at $609.00 for a standard residential connection – up from $568.00.

When dealing with insurance policies, the home, car, boat or caravan is often the highest priority for many people.We put insurance in place to cover large capital losses under certain unfortunate events, yet most people either forget or choose to ignore possibly the largest financial concern in life - their ability to earn income to pay bills like home or car insurance and your mortgage or rent. You are number one, not your car, home or boat. My father would say that there are three guarantees in life... Death, Tax and Change. No-one can guarantee that you won’t pay any tax during your life or afterwards for that matter, but we can insure against severe financial impacts on both yourself and your families in the event of death and change. It can be very affordable and often tax deductible, but why do many of us neglect it? It’s a strange dilemma. We are happy to pay $500/yr to insure a car that may pay you a total of $15,000 if it is stolen or written off by an insurance company, yet that same $500 may pay an insurance premium that pays you 75% of your income, every month increasing with inflation every year, until you are back on your feet or turn 65 yrs old. The total payments could add up to hundreds of thousands of dollars. The next biggest issue is life insurance. I have seen the heartache first hand of losing loved ones. The emotional turmoil is bad enough without the unnecessary financial burdens that can be placed on families as a result of having no life insurance when debts, kids and ongoing income needs are involved. Without large debts or other financial obligations you may question your need for life insurance? Well, you will die one day, so do yourself a favour and find out how much a standard funeral costs, it may scare the life out of you! – Simon Jones

Northern Rivers Family Day Care
Couple farms for organic life choice Kate McIntosh
Organic living is a way of life for Bilambil couple Beth and Lyndon Blok. The couple have signed up to be part of a pioneering Organic Farm Share project underway near Kyogle. They are among 109 shareholders in the 265-acre property, where certified-organic produce will be farmed and distributed among ownermembers who all live within a 200-kilometre radius. Farmers are employed to work at the property and its day-to-day running will be overseen by a management team. Owner-members order and purchase their goods online weekly which are then delivered to four drop-off points at Brisbane, Gold Coast, Murwillumbah and Byron Bay. All money from the scheme is fed back into operating costs, with any profits to be distributed among shareholders. The Organic Farm Share was co-founded by the Gold Coast entrepreneur Alf Orpen and his wife Marina, who set up the project as a way of challenging the corporate approach to agriculture and food distribution. He says the project could help provide a model for the

development of more sustainable, community-based food networks. Lyndon says the project means the couple can benefit from receiving organic produce without having to work the farm themselves. ‘I think a lot of people are
becoming interested in where their food comes from, or growing their own food, but maybe feel that it’s a little impractical,’ Lyndon said. ‘Working while farming at the same time is a little impossible. ‘In this way we can own a
farm, but are not actually having to run it ourselves.’ Beth says the farm share concept has added environmental benefits in that it cuts down on food miles. ‘The distances that food travels before reaching the supermarket is astronomical,’ she said. Meanwhile, until the property is fully operational, organic foods and produce will be sourced from local suppliers in the region. There are also plans to build eco cabins so that shareholders and their families can holiday at the property. Beth said the couple had always had a passion about organic food. ‘We’re very committed to eating as healthy food as we can and we’ve always been really concerned about herbicides and pesticides,’ she said. ‘So the opportunity to know where our food was coming from and where it was produced was quite thrilling.’

Sai Baba’s ‘legacy lives on’ in M’bah Luis Feliu
The principal of Murwillumbah’s Sathya Sai Primary school, the only school founded in Australia by Sathya Sai Baba, one of India’s most popular gurus who died late last month, says his legacy will live on in the school’s teachings. Sathya Sai Baba died in Puttaparthi on April 22 aged 85, after a long illness, sparking an outpouring of grief from devotees and leaders in India and across the world. The spiritual leader founded hundreds of free schools, clinics and hospitals in India and around the world. Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said Sai Baba was an inspiration to people of all faiths and a spiritual leader who in-
<echowebsection=Local News>
spired millions to lead a moral and meaningful life. The Murwillumbah Sathya Sai school started 14 years ago at Mt Warning with just nine students and moved years later to Condong Street in Murwillumbah when it grew to 30 students. In 2001 it moved to its current premises at Nullum Street and has a current enrolment of 104 students. Principal Leelah Broughton told The Echo a commemorative assembly for the school’s founder was held last Wednesday with ‘a little display in loving memory of him’ and a condolence book for people to sign. ‘We’re very sad on his passing. It’s always sad when someone who has done so much good for society passes on, but what is important is his philos-
ophy and teaching of the five universal human values of love, peace, truth, right behaviour and non-violence. ‘For us it was more a celebration of his life. We also talked to the students about this philosophy and how the school exists because of his teachings. The school will refocus now on promoting compassion and truthfulness. ‘We’ve also been encouraged by the many people who have expressed their sadness and shared that with us.’ In April last year, seven new classrooms and extensions which trebled the school’s size, partly funded under the federal government’s Building the Education Revolution, were officially opened by Richmond MP Justine Elliot. www.tweedecho.com.au

GM denies ‘sceptic’ tag Luis Feliu
Tweed Shire general manager Mike Rayner has denied he is a climate-change sceptic after copping a broadside from the area’s environmental watchdog. At last month’s council meeting, the general manager ruled out a bid by Greens Cr Katie Milne for a separate edition of council’s weekly newsletter Tweed Link to explain the science of climate change to the community. Mr Rayner said the Tweed Link was ‘not an appropriate mechanism to explain the science of climate change given the social and political debate and the absence of any definitive position from a high level of government’. Cr Milne later said she was shocked by his response and could not believe she’d heard Mr Rayner ‘admitting he was a climate-change sceptic by saying the consensus on the science was still out there’. Caldera Environment Centre co-ordinator Paul Hopkins agreed, saying he had also seen the minutes of what Mr Rayner had told councillors and was moved to strongly criticise the general manager. In his stinging rebuke, Mr Hopkins suggested Mr Rayner and his executive at council
were either ‘unable or unwilling’ to see the big picture reality of the global warming crisis and were thus ‘not equal to the task of proper administration’. The comments were picked up by local media and Mr Rayner later contacted The Echo, saying he wanted to give his response as per the council minutes in full as a result of a description of him last week as an ‘avowed sceptic’.
‘If there’s no definitive statement by the federal government then what on earth is carbon trading all about then?’ He reiterated his response. adding that ‘Council is, however, currently developing a sustainability themed edition in which a range of council initiatives will feature. In this edition council will provide a direct link to the federal government website of the Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency, where readers can inform themselves on the science of climate change’. He said that, for the record, he was not a climate-change sceptic.
A spokesperson for Mr Rayner this week added that Cr Milne’s ‘request was for a full scale edition not an article’ and that ‘the colour six-page edition of the Tweed Link will be published on May 31, 2011, with a theme of sustainability. ‘Apart from focusing on council initiatives, there will be tips for residents on how to save water and energy, as well as the links to the federal government website…There will also be promotion of council stalls at the World Environment Day event (hosted by the Caldera Environment Centre and sponsored by council for $3,000).’ Mr Hopkins yesterday maintained he still believed Mr Rayner was a sceptic by the response and council’s recent history on green initiatives. ‘There’s umpteen definitive statements on climate change, and at higher levels of government… if there’s no definitive statement by the federal government then what on earth is carbon trading all about then?’ he said. Mr Hopkins said Mr Rayner was either ‘one of just four in every 100 Australians who deny that climate change is manmade’ or ‘playing up’ to the climate sceptics among the councillors in a bid to shore up his $250,000-plus a year job.

by Mungo MacCallum of the news cycle by politicians and journalists alike. Federal politics has developed into a never-ending election campaign, in which every appearance, action and comment is treated if it is the last thing the voters will remember before going to the polls. Thus every policy has to be reduced to a slogan, and every debate considered not on its merits, but in terms of the perceived winner or loser. The dumbing down is obvious; what is even more insidious is the way the regime encourages conscious dishonesty. A politician asked a question like: ‘Will you guarantee that there will be no tax rises in your term of office? That not a single worker will lose a job? That no one will be worse off?’ has just two choices: lie, or obfuscate. A refusal to play the silly game on the grounds that the question is unanswerable in that form is automatically taken as a negative. Yet such questions are the daily provocation ministers face, not just

election which starts with the qualification: ‘If an election was held tomorrow...’ is by definition meaningless. When the election is actually imminent, the polls can be a useful indicator of developing trends, but their use as a fortnightly gauge of the public’s mood swings has turned the politics into an ongoing popularity contest. The standards of reality television shows such as Big Brother are now applied to the whole process of democratic government. The situation is farcical, but the aforementioned gurus take it, and themselves, terribly, terribly seriously. In fact they are mere observers, and frequently pretty lazy ones at that. But they now regard their every utterance as not only infallible truth, but as determining the future for politicians and public alike. This should not matter, since they are in fact talking largely to each other. The holy trinity of The Australian, Paul Kelly, Dennis Shanahan and Greg Sheridan, generally
communicate in prose comprehensible only to the initiated, and when their language fails to deter the reader, their pomposity does the job – I once noted that if the word ‘profound’ ever disappeared from the English vocabulary, it would be necessary to buy Kelly a set of alphabet blocks. But the politicians, sensitive plants as they are, react – indeed, usually over-react – to every nuance of the media’s pontificating and to every twitch of the polls. It was not always thus: Tanner notes that while Kevin Rudd was dumped as leader largely as a result of poor polling and an abrasive personal manner, 12 years earlier Paul Keating, who had the same problems, was never at risk. Such has been the steady drift away from substance towards spin. Modern journalism is all about the search for the ‘Gotcha’ moment; the gaffe, the slip of the tongue, the contradiction which can be seized upon and endlessly replayed as a clear demonstration that the reporters and commentators are not merely the judge and jury, but the real controllers of the process. Such is their arrogance that they now feel qualified to set tests: if the prime minister does not instantly do what I say, it will be an admission of failure and probably of gross moral turpitude as well. Okay, here is a test for the media: read Tanner’s book, acknowledge the truth of it, report it seriously and at least try to learn from it. And if you don’t, then ... then ... well, you won’t, will you? It would be much too hard. It’s so much easier to dismiss the whole argument by finding one tiny slip where Tanner breaks his own rules. Like he admits once having agreed to give a one-word description of a politician. Gotcha.

Toilets to go
Regarding the public toilet block in Queen Street, Murwillumbah: while disability access is clearly an issue at this facility, this public toilet is the only one in the Main Street vicinity. As the mother of preschool and primary school aged children I spend a considerable amount of time in these toilets. The proximity to our friendly toy shop is particularly useful and there’s also a handy seat to wait on. I cannot vouch for the ‘Men’s’ side of the facility but note that the women’s facilities are always clean and tidy. If this facility is not maintained then what public alternatives are there? The toilet block in Murwillumbah that does need alteration is the facility at Knox Park. These toilets are dark, foreboding and not a place I like taking my children. I’m sure council’s cleaners do their best, but the building design does not promote safe and pleasant access. If I have to leave Main Street shops in search of suitable facilities then sadly they will be losing my custom for the rest of that day. A Beck

Back to the pokies
In my letter of April 21 I stated the Productivity Commission’s Report No. 50 of February 26, 2010 was on Gambling and not just on Electronic Gaming Machines (EGMs – the old pokie machine). This report identified the massive increase in EGMs to capture 55 per cent of Australia’s gambling dollar which is up from just 29 per cent 22 years ago. Wagering (racing and sports betting) has reduced from 36 per cent of the gambling dollar to just 14.8 per cent and lotteries have moved from 26 per cent to just 12 per
Cr Milne’s take on council Who needs confidential meetings when the mayor just allows Cr Polglase to mumble so quietly he can’t be heard? Despite numerous points of order the mayor did not once instruct Cr Polglase to speak into his microphone or repeat what he said. Cr Polglase calling me ignorant and making sexist remarks apparently is also not an issue, but my comment that Cr Polglase seemed to be running this council agenda unleashed a tirade from the mayor. In his third attempt during this council term Cr Polglase successfully moved for council to work on incorporating the Cabarita DCP into the LEP.
Council’s chief planner again advised that this was not considered timely as the fiveyear-old DCP needed review to incorporate contemporary planning practices recognised during the Hastings Point and Pottsville DCP processes. Polglase’s move was backed by the three stooges and van Lieshout who stated that developers needed certainty, presumably certainty that they could achieve poor planning practices. Council is also looking at selling off every last available piece of council owned property. Councillors’ assurances that this would all go for consultation to the community as-
sociations proved hollow when they decided last meeting that their Byangum Road property should just go straight to notification of public auction. Toilet blocks are also set for the razor gang, the first set to fall identified as the recognised historical block at Queen Street in Murwillumbah, Wommin Lake at Fingal Head, and Razorback at Tweed. Fifteeen toilets all up are proposed for removal with only eight replacements. Community associations and Destination Tweed need to get involved in these decisions.
cent and online gambling is just over four per cent of the gambling dollar, which for Australia in 2009 was a total of $19,000 million (or $19 billion). There is no hypocrisy here; the gambling problems in the areas Audrey Johnson has identified (Letters, April 28) have been greatly reduced by governments. The commission’s report is well researched and lengthy and highlights the massive growth in the new ‘high impact’ EGM in both clubs and pubs. These highly-addictive EGMs are either banned or strictly controlled in many overseas venues. NSW has over 100,000 very addictive EGMs while the whole of the UK only has 1,000; none of which are in social gambling areas. These EGMs are responsible for the small number of around 500,000 problem gamblers providing just under 50 per cent of the total gambling incomes for all EGM owners in Australia. Assuming a problem gambler impacts on a family of four to six members the total community impact is on about 10 per cent of our community. Audrey Johnson, if you are happy knowing that half of your club’s gambling income is causing loss and misery to one in ten Australians and you are content to ignore the need to reduce this suffering because you believe what the club in-
dustry is claiming and ignore well researched advice, then maybe our whole society has lost its moral compass.

Some of the existing literature does offer information regarding the basic chemical components present in most of these fluids.’

Fracking ignorance
In recent email correspondence with the member for Clarence, Steve Cansdell, I raised the many concerns people living in the Moreton-Clarence basin have regarding the gas fracking process that is causing so much controversy and concern in the Northern Rivers area. In his reply Mr Cansdell reiterated his support for this industry, citing the usual mantra of job creation and economic progress in his electorate. Mr Cansdell even attached some documents which he no doubt thought supported his stance. One such document was a report from the EPA (the ‘Environmental Pollution Agency’ because they only police levels of pollution allowed under licence, not enforceable anti-pollution laws) and this is something I found in their report: ‘Available scientific literature indicates that hydraulic fracturing fluid performance became prevalent in the late 1980s and the 1990s. Most of the literature pertaining to fracturing fluids relates to the fluids’ operational efficiency rather than their potential environmental or

earth, have domination over every living thing that moves upon it, and fill it with people. To my thinking embarking on this impossible task would destroy the natural systems that sustain us. Now thousands of years later we are experiencing unprecedented natural disasters and loss of biodiversity. The future is even more bleak. Is this God’s plan? Does the remedy lie in prayer? What hope do our children have for the future if society were to ignore history, science and fact and replace it with blind faith?

Blood sacrifice
Many ancient civilisations believed in sacrificing human beings in order to satisfy their gods/God, gain favour and ward off natural disasters. Children, virgins and animals were slaughtered. In some cases they drank the blood and ate the body of their offerings. To this day Christians believe that their God required the sacrificing of the male virgin Jesus in order for sins to be forgiven. The sacrificial altar was the cross, and the ceremonial drinking of the blood and eating of the body of Jesus is practised by drinking wine and eating bread. Isn’t it time for our predominant religious organisations to look deep into their roots? The evolutionary process that has led to the compilation of writings that we now call the Bible can easily be traced throughout history. The present and future are governed by the past. In the book of Genesis, the Bible’s instructions are to subdue the

It was with a level of wry irony that I read in today’s local daily that the Glossy Black Conservancy are working ‘wing in wing’ with the Tweed Shire Council to ‘learn more about the distribution, habitat use and population numbers of the threatened glossy black cockatoo (my emphasis)’. Now, I’m not a twitcher’s armpit but I can easily tell you where there are a great many threatened glossy black cockatoos: at the proposed development site at South Cabarita Beach.

Grave concern
On a recent trip to a major children’s hospital I was engaged in a conversation with a mother whose child was being operated on for a congenital heart defect. She told me that a specialist had told her that had she had the child aborted prior to birth it would have saved the taxpayer $250,000. This is what happens when the legalisation of abortion devalues the life of the unborn. It becomes a matter of dollars and cents. Will the same thing happen if we should legalise euthanasia? Won’t it devalue all life? As a registered nurse who worked for many years in nursing homes as a cancer support visitor and with palliative care, I know that depression not intractable pain is the greater problem. More research needs to be done to find an effective treatment for both. How long will it be before our elderly, infirm and handicapped will be made to feel that they are a drain on the taxpayer and a burden to their families? It then becomes their duty to ask for euthanasia. Believe me, this is a slippery slope. G M Thomson

It’s simple and just takes some awareness and generally taking good care of ourselves. 3. 1. Wash your hands as often as possible. Cold germs are transferred to others by contact of unwashed hands. Also keep your hands away from your face, eyes, nose and mouth.

FRIDAY 6
1. Time for the annual cheesefest and SBS1 celebrates with The Secret History Of Eurovision (Friday, 7.30pm), the event which unifies Europe. 2. Apropos cheese, High School Musical 3 (Prime, Saturday, 6.30pm) tries to prove that all is fine in American secondary education with lots of songs and dances borrowed from the 1950s. 3. Now here’s a case for Rev Fred Nile: Melissa Joan Hart as Sabrina The Teenage Witch (Eleven, Sunday, 6pm) continues to promote the Wicca dark arts which saw a brilliant female mathematician flayed to death in 370AD. Oh, that was Christians, wasn’t it?

VIRGO: This week’s astral rhythm slips into lower gear, shifting the general emphasis from inspiration to maintenance, sorting fair-weather friends from supporters and players from stayers. A weighty week, so make sure to have plenty of fun on the side. Or middle. Or edges. Wherever… LIBRA: This week’s astral package suits you from your elegant eyebrows to the tips of your trendy toes, with Tuesday’s new moon ripe for affectionate pleasures. While group responsibilities take up valuable time, they’re necessary for strengthening mutual ties which open up a whole new world of support. SCORPIO: It’s not worth letting economic pressures get to you. You started life with nothing, so whatever you have now is a
bonus. Besides, this ‘let’s get fiscal’ week helps you figure out ways to benefit from rapidly changing business trends by turning them to your advantage. SAGITTARIUS: Mars and Venus do you favours during May if you trust your intuition – another way of saying your basic common sense. Which is telling you that you don’t have to work so hard, especially when more sensual temperatures are suggesting a particularly pleasant week for Sagittarians.

doing that, look! Other assistance arrives… AQUARIUS: Planetary patterns make May your month for resting, nesting and sharing domestic pleasures. Supporting someone else to access their imaginative, artistic or spiritual riches. Spending time enjoying things you hadn’t planned, and having an all round wonderful autumnal wallow in the season of mellow fruitfulness. PISCES: This week’s most profitable activities probably aren’t your favourite pastimes, being pruning expenditure or economic involvements that are draining your resources. But once done you can reward yourself with some retail comfort, though punish the plastic and you’ll be doing the math all over again.

by Ian Rogers Play at Seagulls Club, Thurs 6-10pm Russia’s Andrei Deviatkin was the convincing winner of the 49th Doeberl Cup tournament, held in Canberra over Easter. Deviatkin, seeded third at the start of Australia’s largest and richest Grand Prix tournament, conceded only three draws in the nine round contest and scored a dramatic victory over second seed David Arutinian of Georgia in the final round. In a tournament dominated by the visiting Grandmasters, Victorian teenager Eugene Schon was the shining light for Australia, defeating two International Masters and needing a last round victory against the top seed, Sune Berg Hansen, to take second place and his first IM ‘norm’. Unfortunately for Schon the Danish top seed proved too classy and thereby finished tied for second with Bulgaria’s Dejan Bojkov. The following game from the second round of the tournament sees Deviatkin at his incisive best, refuting a quick knockout attempt by 14-year-old Victorian talent Laurence Matheson.

Mandy Nolan WHEN IT COMES to behaviour the brain is the Fat Controller. It turns out that it’s not our parents, our peers or even our experiences that orient our political persuasions. It’s the noggin. Our political persuasions are determined by the cerebral cortex. In a study published in Current Biology scientists revealed a significant brain difference between conservatives and those inclined to more liberal views. Finally science has discovered what most of us lefties have always believed: conservatives are dumb. Or at the very least paranoid and prone to irrational thinking: eg there is no global warming; gays are bad; guns are good and all refugees are terrorists.

As a liberal thinker I have decided to adopt three high-risk conservatives as part of a new rehabilitative foster program for people with ‘thinking challenges’. This week I received photos of my three new highly intolerant and fearful foster children. Sure they’re ugly, but they’re mine: Pauline, Fred and little Cardinal Pell.
I display them above a makeshift altar where my family gathers to pray for them each evening. I am aware that meditation and love can’t cure all, so with the help of some local doctors we are attempting to enlarge the part of their brain that will allow Research conducted at the University College London studied them to achieve more coherent, less fear-based thinking.

with life partner and creative genius behind Love Let Me Out: Craig Hearps. Together the pair form new production company Cape Byron Productions and are co-directing and co-producing the production. Inspired by moments of truth in Hearps’ and Nunn’s own relationship, and from quiet observation of the perils of modern living, the play is about a therapist Dylan James (played by Brisbane actor Adam Fawns) who is deeply passionate about healing people’s addictions yet is himself addicted to work. The play explores Dylan’s quirks and charms as he navigates tricky terrain re-establishing a relationship with Abigail (Belinda Small) that broke up because his work was getting in the way of their relationship! Age-old dilemmas are explored and turned on their head in this play that has as much laughs as it has gravitas of drama. The play opened in Brisbane on Wednesday May 4 and runs for four consecutive nights over two weeks at the Studio, Metro Arts in Edward Street, Brisbane and tours to Byron Bay at Byron Bay Community Theatre on May 20 and 21.

When in Doubt Dream Run’s third production of the year is fast approaching. The play, Doubt, is set in a Catholic school in New York in 1964. The principal, Sister Aloysius, is certain that a young priest, Father Flynn is abusing one of the pupils, Donald Miller, who also happens to be the school’s first coloured student. Aloysius recruits the innocent young nun, Sister James, into keeping an eye on Flynn, and when Sr James reports that Miller has returned from a private visit with Flynn upset and with his breath smelling of alcohol, Aloysius thinks that she has got her man. When Donald’s mother is informed of the principal’s suspicions the action builds to fever pitch. The production will be staged at the Murwillumbah Civic Centre on Friday 13 and Saturday14 May from 7.30 pm and on Sunday 15 May at 2pm. Tickets are available by calling the Director Michael Lill on 0419 126 671 or by pre-booking by emailing info@dreamruntheDREAM RUN atre.com.au.

The Echo’s guide to
Raw Talent The north is about to have its foundations shaken when the Currumbin RSL hosts their All Ages Raw Talent Quest in June and July. The club is putting a call out to all talented people to enter this free competition. This quest is designed to give live performance artists of all ages and disciplines the opportunity to showcase their talent in the local community and have the chance to win cash and prizes. Jane Renata, who is manager of one of the sponsors Ignite Education, has said she is delighted to be involved with this event and thinks any opportunity for people to express themselves and their talent is a great opportunity. Ignite Education is offering two $1,000 college vouchers as Encouragement Awards for the Quest. Because the event is open to people of all talents such as dancers, comedians, singers, DJs, fire twirlers and more, the coordinators of the event have secured a variety of judges to try and cover as many entertainment areas as possible. ‘We have Anthony Ikin, owner of his own music school, who will be the perfect person to offer comments to dancers, having been judged himself, in “So you think you can dance”,’ says Laura Versace, Currumbin RSL’s Marketing Manager. ‘Anthony’s brother Sean is also a judge and owns a singing school. We also have Rob Bare, the owner of the Sound Lounge, and Daniel Ceh President of the Music Industry Association, just to name a few. 20 May 5, 2011 The Tweed Shire Echo
Raw talent quest organiser Holly Major and Ignite Education’s Jane Renata with students are gearing up for the Raw Talent Quest.
Currumbin RSL’s Holly Major is one of the main organisers of the event and, being a performance artist herself, sees the benefit in events such as this. ‘Since returning home to the Gold Coast from years of working in the events and performing industry in Dubai, it seems there is a lot going on culturally on the Coast and this is another awesome platform for aspiring performing artists to be part of,’ says Holly. ‘I’m excited to see the diversity in talent we have on the coast. Competitions can help to develop a following in the local community, gain some great exposure, develop your profile, network with other creatives in the community and have lots of fun! There are also great cash and prizes on offer.’ So far Raw Talent Quest has received a variety of musical entrants such as rock bands and musical soloists, and they are looking forward to seeing dancers, mime artists, jugglers, comedians, dancers, rappers, yodelers and a plethora of other disciplines strut their stuff. Check out www.rawtalentquest.com.au for more information. Entries close on May 19. www.tweedecho.com.au

Tweed-Byron bowlers in state finals
Looking forward to their State Finals berth, junior bowlers Rowan ‘Doodle’ Fenwick, Robert Gower, Julian Richards and James Knight are looking for a boost to get them to Sydney. Photo Tree Faerie.
Local lads James Knight from Condong Bowling Club and Julian Richards from Cabarita Bowling Club recently teamed up with Mullumbimby ExServices Bowls Club junior lawn bowlers, Robert Gower and Rowan Fenwick, to produce some remarkable bowling form which had put them into the NSW State Finals. Competing as the Tweed Byron District Four Team, they bowled beautifully at the zone level beating Northern Rivers at Ballina last month. Now the four young bowlers are off to compete at State level at Warilla on July 13 and 14.
The boys joined with the club’s women’s pennant team for a fundraiser on Sunday to help them get to Sydney. The mufti triples event saw $811 raised towards helping both teams get to the next level of competition. Sixteen-year-old Julian Richards will also be competing in the State Singles competition and is looking forward to the challenge of competing by himself in the singles and as a part of a team in the fours. James Knight has been bowling for four years. ‘I have been bowling since I was 10,’ says James. ‘I continue to improve
with every game.’ While the boys have only bowled together as a team for one year, separately they have spent many years working on their bowling technique. All four play each week for their local teams and spend many afternoons practising for their weekly, pennant and representative competitions. Julian is also looking forward to the North Coast Academy of Sport, NCAS, Junior Lawn Bowls trials. For information about sponsoring the lads for their upcoming venture email: gowerpdr@bigpond.com.

Yakety yak: what you pack
As I work in Queensland I had another long weekend – and what nice weather we had. A few years ago when I started using plastics and hardbodied lures I never spotted many people using them on the Tweed let alone fishing with them from a kayak. Well that’s all changing. Over the long weekend I spotted heaps of yaks, Monday in particular. It is great to see the increase in the number of yaks being enjoyed on our waterways. I met a young guy from the
Goldy paddling around casting a Sammy lure at everything. He asked if I was a local, then followed me at a distance fishing over my spots. I also had a fish and chat with my neighbor Lex. He has recently purchased a Hobie yak for fishing. His kids loved it so much that Lex now has three kayaks in his possession. I came upon Lex at one of the oyster leases in Terranora Broadwater. He was working the banks with a light 1/20 oz jighead with a Gulp Shrimp on the hook. None of us was having great success on the plastics with only a few undersize fish
being caught. I think I’ll be trying another spot as all I saw each morning were guys in punts dragging nets through all the good spots. On a kayak there’s not much room to move. Check out the photo above to see all the gear I take with me when I am in the yak. As you can imagine the space is limited to necessities. Two important pieces of equipment are a lip gripper and long-nose pliers so you can control the fish, take the hook out and then let him swim away safely without all the drama of a fish flapping around in the yak.

Delay to green building tax incentive stalls environmental dividends The Property Council of Australia is disappointed the Australian government will delay the implementation of its green investment incentive for retrofitting existing buildings. ‘The Property Council has been a very vocal supporter of the government’s green building investment incentive’, said Property Council CEO Peter Verwer. Independent research by the Allen Consulting Group shows that, even with a carbon price, a program to improve the energy efficiency of buildings can deliver more than 33 megatons of greenhouse gas (GHG) abatement by 2030. In the absence of a carbon price, a well-designed incentive would deliver 46.7 megatons. ‘An incentive to improve building energy efficiency is a critical complement to a carbon
price and renewable energy programs,’ Mr Verwer says. ‘Independent research and international experience shows that a carbon price will not do all the heavy lifting. ‘The Allen Consulting Group’s research also demonstrates that a green building incentive delivers far better value per tonne of GHG abatement than most other government schemes, including solar photovoltaics and carbon capture and storage (CCS) programs. ‘The modelling shows that the cost of a green building incentive is around $12 per tonne of GHG abatement, compared to $77 per tonne for solar photovoltaics and over $80 per tonne for CCS respectively. ‘It’s disappointing that a scheme announced in July 2010 has still not been efficiently de-

signed given the resources, advice and goodwill provided by the private sector. ‘The Property Council notes the purpose of the incentive scheme is to accelerate the refurbishment of buildings to a high level of environmental performance, thereby improving energy efficiency and reducing the need to generate GHG-intensive power in the first place. ‘Any delay to the scheme inevitably delays the delivery of environmental benefits.’ However, the Property Council welcomed the government’s promise to retain the billion dollar value of the incentive, following its meetings concerning the fate of the measure. It also welcomed the announcement of a consultation panel of stakeholders chaired by an independent expert. ‘The positive news is the government has agreed to industry’s request to upgrade the quality of its consultation process,’ Mr Verwer says. ‘We also welcome acknowledgment that there is a strong case for offering the incentive as a tax credit in addition to a deduction. ‘Our aim is to ensure the scheme can be used by all property owners. ‘It makes no sense to discriminate against funds that manage property assets on behalf of Australia’s 11 million-plus superannuants. ‘It also makes no sense to ignore the fact that in February this year, US President Obama specifically extended the US green buildings incentive to include collective investment vehicles, such as listed and unlisted REITS.’ The Property Council also welcomed the government’s agreement to review the qualifying criteria and operational rules of the scheme. ‘We look forward to providing advice to a rigorous, comprehensive, evidence-based, independ-
ent consultation process that will meet the original objectives of this green building incentive and deliver value for taxpayers’ dollars,’ Mr Verwer says. ‘Given this concerning delay, it is critical that enabling legislation be introduced and passed this calendar year.’

Mothers Day will come twice this year for one local mum. The Banora Point resident muddled the date and made her two young sons, both aged under three, present her with their handmade gifts and cards last Sunday before realising she was in fact a week early. Undeterred, she plans to celebrate again with her young family on the real Mothers Day this Sunday. ■ ■ ■ ■

The Bilambil Heights-based local recently took out the ‘Legends’ division for over 55s at the Masters Surfing Championship for the third year running. Goober, as he is known to his mates, claimed the title in a chunky 3-4 foot beach break at Taranaki on the west coast of New Zealand’s North Island over the Easter long weekend. The contest, organised by New Plymouth Surfriders Club, is now in its 19th year.
