Thousands march against CSG mining Luis Feliu

More than 3,000 people voiced their outrage against coal-seam gas (CSG) mining on Saturday at Murwillumbah in one of the biggest rallies ever seen in the Northern Rivers.

The controversial ‘fracking’ method used to extract underground gas by the CSG industry has tapped a raw nerve among the many protesters, including farmers, families, environmentalists, Aboriginal elders, tourism operators, and blue and white collar workers, who have united against what they see as the biggest threat to Australia’s environment.

A long colourful stream of protesters waving placards and chanting anti-CSG slogans stopped traffic as they snaked down the town’s CBD from Knox Park, spilling over on to the road from the pavement.

On return to the park they were addressed by a range of speakers including farmers and residents from the Northern Rivers and Queensland, where CSG mining has already started and faces huge opposition, including a blockade of the construction of a CSG pipeline through a residential estate at Tara in central Queensland.

They heard how almost every council in the region has called for a moratorium on CSG mining, which threatens to contaminate the country’s underground water table and its food producing capacity.

They were also told that evidence is growing in the US where it first began that CSG’s use of ‘fracking’ (fracturing rocks using chemical reactions) to extract gas from underground coal seams is a serious threat to aquifers.

A range of toxic chemicals, including some known carcinogens, are used in this process to release the gas.

Opponents say CSG is the new ‘gold’ for mining and want a total ban on it while other groups and govern-

ment agencies want a moratorium till the method is proved safe.

The region’s three new state government MPs, the National Party’s Thomas George in Lismore, Don Page in Ballina and Geoff Provest in Tweed, as well as federal Richmond MP Justine Elliot, did not turn up to the rally despite being invited by organisers.

One voice Organisers of the rally, the Northern Rivers Guardians (NRG) and Caldera Environment Centre, say the huge turnout on Saturday sent a strong and clear message to government and mining companies that the community is dead against this industry.

Spokesman Michael McNamara said the wide variety of community and industry groups ‘speaking with one voice’ showed clearly the strong community concern with CSG mining.

Greens MLC Jeremy Buckingham told the rally that the first thing he did on entering parliament this year was to introduce a Bill in the Upper House calling for a moratorium on all new gas exploration licences pending an inquiry.

Mr Buckingham, the Greens’ mining and resources spokesman, said governments ‘don’t want to know’ about the dangers of CSG to their ‘eternal shame’.

He said the industry has ‘really slipped through the cracks’ and not

<echowebsection=Local News>

been dealt with properly in terms of regulation and legislation.

The MLC, who beat Pauline Hanson to the post for the last Upper House seat at the recent state election, said he would ‘fight tooth and nail’ against CSG mining altogether ‘otherwise they will turn our most productive farmland into a “gasland”,’ referrring to the US documentary of the same name which has alerted people around the world to the dangers of CSG mining.

Countries act on CSG Just this week, the French parliament voted to ban hydraulic fracturing or fracking in the shale-coal gas industry while in South Africa last month, the government also an-

nounced a moratorium on fracking.

One of the keynote speakers at the rally was Queensland farmer Drew Hutton, the president of the newly-formed national Lock the Gate Alliance which is taking action to stop drilling for CSG in southern Queensland.

Mr Hutton said hundreds of farmers in the area where coal companies were actively exploring for CSG had joined the alliance and ‘locked the gate’ on mining company representatives wanting to explore or negotiate for drilling rights.

He said some of the ‘most courageous’ of all protesters were the people of the Tara estate where the CSG pipeline is being built under their homes, as some of them had been arrested by police as a result of the blockade.

‘When our leaders fail us as they’ve done in Queensland, and federally, then ordinary people have to become heroes’, Mr Hutton said.

‘Tara will go into Australian history because people there will become heroes as they take up the struggle, because the precautionary principle had been totally misapplied with CSG mining.

‘We’ll apply our own moratorium on this industry till it’s proved safe for the environment.’

Mr Hutton was arrested by police at Tara a few weeks ago after sitting on a bulldozer during the blockade action.

‘They say you have to have a reasonable excuse for trespassing, well I’m saying that saving the planet is a pretty reasonable excuse,’ he said to loud cheers and applause from the big crowd.

Mr Hutton said he faced a $50,000 fine ‘but I couldn’t care if it was a 10 cents fine because this is a bad law which leads to the desecration of our whole country, and for that I won’t pay a cent’. continued on page 2

Tweed canegrower Robert Quirk said if the aquifers in the Tweed or the Great Artesian Basin were ruined by CSG mining then ‘we’re stuffed forever’.

‘You have to tell governments that we don’t want CSG fracking in all Australia’, he said.

Mr Quirk, renowned for his work with government and industry in addressing the acidsulphate soil problem affecting agriculture and the environment on the Northern Rivers, said in 1987 a big fish kill in the Tweed River prompted similar concerns among farmers, environmentalists and government.

‘But only because we all worked together we fixed the problem… I hope we can stop this [contamination of farmland by CSG mining] because there’s no way back.’

Tweed Combined Rural Industries Association president Col Brooks said national and state farmers associations had also called for a ban on CSG. Mr Brooks read out an alarming report from the NSW Farmers Association on the effects of CSG mining on farmland and how the rights of property owners were affected.

He said one exploration licence had been approved for the Tweed and another one was pending, both covering 50 per cent of the shire.

‘We don’t want it and farmers are right behind this antifracking business,’ he said.

Aboriginal spokesman Robert Williams said CSG mining was one of the biggest threats to the land he had ever encountered and said Aboriginal communities around Australia would fight against it.

Ian Gaillard, a resident from Keerong, north of Lismore, where exploration has already begun, urged the crowd to lobby directors of CSG mining companies as well as government ministers to ‘make them accountable’.

Mr Gaillard, a member of the ‘Keerong Gas Squad’ set up to fight CSG mining in the Keerong Valley near Terania Creek and elsewhere, urged people to continue their protest outside an upcoming CSG industry conference in Brisbane because ‘we don’t want them here, there or anywhere in Australia’.

Tweed organic farmer Rod Bruin said CSG threatened organic farmers’ aim to produce

‘good, clean, organic, healthy food for eereyone on the planet… so let’s cause a fracas so they don’t frack us’.

Only two Tweed councillors attended, Barry Longland and the Greens’ Katie Milne,who said it was vital Tweed people made a strong stand because it’s one of the biggest shires on the north coast.

Feds step in The federal government has declared a coal-seam gas project in the Pilliga Scrub near Narrabri a controlled action under federal environmental law, giving hope to those trying to protect the area from mining.

NSW Greens MLC Cate Faehrmann said that Eastern Star Gas, headed by former Nationals leader John Anderson, has plans to develop a massive coal seam gas field of around 550 gas wells in the state forests of the Pilliga.

‘Today we have found out that the project has been

Tyalgum community association spokesman Peter Bennett said the legislation regulating CSG mining was outdated and allowed a lack of accountability on the part of the minister reponssible for it.

He urged landowners to take direct action to stop companies exploring or drilling on their properties.

Tweed eco-tourism operator David Palmer said both tourism and agriculture on the Tweed were threatened by CSG mining and he called for a permanent ban on the industry.

‘Last week, the leader of the Greens Bob Brown proposed a Senate inquiry into the coalseam gas industry but it was blocked by Liberal and Labor senators voting together against it. The National Party senators showed their ambivalence by abstaining,’ he said.

‘With thousands of truck movements each week, hundreds of drill sites, compressor stations and pipelines, our precious valley will become an industrial wasteland. The fracking will poison our air, our water, our wildlife and our children. Tourism will shrivel and die.’

Tara resident Dane Pratsky said the police response in southern Queensland to protesters trying to protect their land was just ‘over the top’ but locals were emboldened by the widespread support.

determined a “controlled action” by the federal government under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act, and this could be our best chance of protecting this highly significant area,’ she said yesterday.

‘But we still have a very big fight on our hands… the gas project is set to clear over 2,400 hectares of native vegetation and will forever change the landscape of the Pilliga.

‘This unique area near Narrabri is the largest remaining temperate woodland in NSW. It contains many threatened animal and plant species.’

State govt’s solar tariff cut ‘a betrayal’ Kate McIntosh

The NSW government’s proposal to slash the solar bonus scheme will destroy confidence in the state’s renewable energy industry in NSW, says the Nature Conservation Council of NSW. Under the plan announced last Friday, the government will cut the feed-in tariff for existing customers on the Solar Bonus Scheme from 60 to 40 cents per kilowatt hour.

‘Premier Barry O’Farrell has betrayed tens of thousands of households who entered the solar bonus scheme in good faith, driven by a desire to reduce

<echowebsection=Local News>

their carbon pollution and ease rising energy costs,’ the council’s CEO Pepe Clarke said.

There’s been a high uptake of solar locally, with the decision set to affect a significant number of Tweed households who invested in the scheme.

Locals angered by the moves staged a rally in Lismore yesterday, marching to the office of state MP Thomas George.

Tweed resident Yasir Assam said ‘many people, myself included, have borrowed a lot of money to invest in solar, having assumed the government would honour its side of the bargain’.

He says he stands to lose

more than $14,000 over five years because of the cut.

Mr Clarke says householders are being unfairly penalised.

‘Leaving tens of thousands of Solar Bonus Scheme participants short changed won’t put an end to rising power prices or improve energy security in NSW,’ he said.

The government made the announcement amid a looming cost blowout.

The cuts come into effect on July 1, when an estimated 110,000 participants will have the rate they are being paid for generating electricity back into the grid scaled down.

Residents’ vision for Cabarita sidelined Luis Feliu

Veteran councillor Warren Polglase’s bid to blind-side residents pursuing a new vision for Cabarita seems to have succeeded after Cr Dot Holdom withdrew her notice of motion this week (see panel).

At last month’s council meeting Cr Polglase won support for his own low-key notice of motion which directs staff to incorporate the town’s fiveyear-old development control (DCP) into the upcoming LEP. This was despite concerns by chief planner Vince Connell that the outdated DCP needed to be reviewed to bring it into line with the more modern planning practices adopted in other coastal villages.

The shock 5-3 vote stunned residents who’d told the council they were on the verge of unveiling a new vision for their small seaside town involving changes to the DCP which had been endorsed by an independent reviewer.

It also triggered an emotional outburst from Greens councillor Katie Mile who branded three of her colleagues who voted in support of keeping the old DCP and its height and density laws the ‘three-stooges.’

Her jibe was aimed at mayor Kevin Skinner and National Party councillors Polglase and Phil Youngblutt (not Cr Dot Holdom as reported last week) who were involved in a failed campaign to allow more threestorey flat buildings in nearby Hastings Point.

Hopes dashed Cabarita Beach residents’ hopes were dashed on Tuesday night when, in a shock move, Cr Dot Holdom withdrew her notice of motion calling for a review of the village’s development control plan (DCP).

Residents were hoping the review would ensure an outdated DCP would not spoiil their vision for the village presented to council recently.

Cr Holdom said her reasoning for withdrawing it was because Cr Polglase’s move the previous council meeting had ‘created great angst’ and misinformation as result but that today ‘we all quietly lis-

The other councillor, Joan van Lieshout, said she supported the move because it would give developer’s a level of certainty.

When university academic Kerrie Foxwell-Norton presented her review of the residents’ vision at last week’s community access, she said a ‘disturbing’ finding was that residents felt powerless to act on local and state planning decisions.

She also found overwhelming community opposition to a caravan park and residential subdivision at the town’s southern gateway being planned by the council and the NSW Lands Department.

The review found that the two developments alone – a 200-unit caravan park and

tened without the angst and we can move forward with the process’.

Chief planner Vince Connell said it was council’s call if it wanted a further review but his staff would continue work on the DCP as per the council decision last month.

Mayor Kevin Skinner said that as there would be a public submission period for the shirewide Local Environment Plan (LEP), any ‘adjustments’ by the community could be made then.

Cr Polglase dismissed Cr Holdom’s move by saying if councillors ‘tinkered’ with desktop reviews ‘we may as well scrap the whole DCP and start again’.

54-lot subdivision on Crown land south of Norries Headland – would change the face of the largely unspoilt southern beachfront precinct. Residents’ opposition grew after leaked secret documents showed the council’s reserves trust had misled them over the full impact of the two developments and revelations that for the first time it had used an outside PR firm to spruik the benefits.

Council chief Mike Rayner called for a top-level investigation into the leak and sparked ‘bullying’ accusations when council lawyers sent threatening letters to members of the town residents’ association, with a long-serving president later resigning on stress grounds.

Cr Milne says the council’s sudden support for Cr Polglase’s spoiler follows two earlier failed attempts by the long-serving councillor during the current term and despite concerns raised by the chief planner.

She says she has since apologised for labelling them stooges after an infuriated Cr Skinner threatened to drop her from a Sydney visit to meet new Environment Minister Robyn Parker, while Cr Polglase, who once faced a code of conduct complaint for telling a member of the public to ‘get a job’, warned her comments ‘could lead to further action’.

Cr Youngblutt, who famously branded voters morons, was more blunt saying they warranted her removal and called on the new Local Government Minister to intervene directly.

The public are not entitled to know at present whether any complaint has been lodged against Cr Milne because of a unique change promoted by council staff late last year making it illegal for people accused of a code of conduct breach to make the fact public.

Mr Connell says planning staff hope to ask councillors to approve public exhibition of a revised LEP by the end of the year with a goal of gazettal between early to mid next year.

The film follows the Britishborn environmentalist on a journey from Ecuador along the Amazon to Brazil as she investigates the effects of the oil industry on the environment and indigenous people who live there.

Nicola says the oil industry is responsible for widespread environmental and cultural de-

struction in the Amazon, while contaminates and toxic runoff in the water supply have seen a spike in birth defects and cancer rates.

‘It is simply not acceptable that big corporations can go in and do what they like with little or no accountability,’ she says.

Nicola first developed a passion for environmental and

social justice issues in 2000 when she spent six months living in the Ecuador jungle while filming a documentary on the endangered pink river dolphins.

She also spent a month living in Tasmania while making a documentary highlighting the continual clear cutting and poisoning of ancient forests.

As part of her ongoing work in the Amazon, Nicola helps build water filtration systems for local families living on the frontline of toxic oil pit sites, and runs an education campaign on waste management.

To help fund these projects she travels extensively on the speaking circuit, conducting talks on environmental issues and how one person can make a difference.

Blood of the Amazon will be screened next Wednesday, May 25, at the Imperial Hotel, Murwillumbah at 6.30pm and the Sphinx Rock Café, Mt Burrell next Friday, May 27 at 7pm. All proceeds from the screenings will go towards the filmmaker’s projects in the Amazon.

Public toilets to be upgraded or closed Luis Feliu

Five public toilets across Tweed shire will be demolished, eight replaced and 21 upgraded in a $1 million works program to modernise and rationalise the facilities.

A brand new toilet will be built in Murwillumbah along the riverside opposite council chambers to make up for the loss or decommissioning of several in the town.

Tweed councillors on Tuesday voted 6-1 (Cr Katie Milne against) for the works program, with some saying the poor state of public toilets or their isolation drove them to use private ones in shopping centres or service stations instead.

Last month, Council was considering closing 15 of its 66 stand-alone public toilet-block facilities but deferred a decision

till after it held a workshop recently. Council also maintains 28 toilets that service sports fields which are not open when the fields are in use.

That initial plan had sparked a campaign to save some of them by local architect and coordinator of the Caldera Environment Centre, Paul Hopkins.

As a result of the workshop, council staff recommended the demolition of toilet blocks on the riverbank in McIllwraith Park, near the Murwillumbah Services Club, and in Buckley Park, opposite the railway station at South Murwillumbah.

They also recommended decommissioning the historic Queen Street toilets near the town clock in Murwillumbah’s CBD, the Razorback Lookout toilets at Tweed Heads and the Wommin Lakes toilets at Fingal Head. The Queen Street block

will be retained for use as a council or community utility that keeps its cultural heritage values.

Cr Milne said community associations should be consulted further to see if they wanted some of the blocks to go. She said locals were aghast at losing the Razorback lookout facility which was an iconic destination for walks and family picnics.

Cr Warren Polglase said the Razorback toilet was ‘hardly used’ and it was in ‘a pretty dangerous area for children to run around because it’s quite steep’.

A staff report said the average annual operating costs of each toilet block was $10,000, which could vary depending on the age and level of use of the facility.

The estimated cost of all the work involved in the proposed upgrade is $997, 500.

Better Healthcare for your Family Justine Elliot MP

The Gillard Labor Government is committed to ensuring everyone has access to world-class healthcare close to home, no matter where they live.

That is why this Federal budget sees an unprecedented $3 billion investment in health reform across Australia, which provides improved public hospitals and cancer facilities, boosts dental care and supports bowel cancer screening and immunisations for children.

It also includes the largest Commonwealth commitment to mental health services in Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history including $1.5 billion worth of investments in this Budget.

MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT The Labor Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $2.2 billion Mental Health Reform package provides more intensive support services in those communities that need it most, with a total of 90 Headspace clinics as well as early detection to support young people who struggle with mental illness.

SUBSIDISED MRI SCANS Medicare will cover the cost of more Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans, particularly in regional areas, meaning more people will benefit from faster diagnosis and early detection of disease.

QUALITY DENTAL CARE The Labor Government will establish a voluntary dental internship program to encourage graduates to expand their skills and work in the public dental system, improving community access to dental services.

CATCH UP VACCINATIONS We are also funding a catch up program for a pneumococcal disease vaccine on the National Immunisation Program for eligible children, to ensure children are better protected.

Pottsville high school plan rejected

Dear product tester, I know you go motor-biking a bit, how do you do it? My wife’s starting to complain. She thinks I’m selfish. How do you manage it?

Luis Feliu

Paul Dear Paul, I’m really pleased you wrote mate, this is a very serious problem! I hate to see a woman come between a man and his bike.

Let me tell you how I manage it. It’s really very simple... invite the wife! Most women will say no thanks, you go, but if your wife’s like mine she’ll only say no when it’s raining. The good news is I get to go on lots of rides, I’m happy, my wife’s happy cause we get to have lots of ‘Quality’ time together (even though she can’t talk!) You know, happy wife, happy life! So everybody’s happy!

Can I tell you its perfect weather for riding at the moment, last weekend we rode up to Inverell...beautiful.

My tip of the day is invest in a good set of thermals, the only way to go. Glove-liners another essential, good merino wool socks, gotta keep those tootsies warm, neck warmer and yes they come in black, and last but not least thermal balaclava, that fits under your helmet. And yes you guessed it, you can buy all that at Outdoorism, we even have a few Rossi bike boots.

The NSW Education Department has rejected plans for a new high school at Pottsville, saying existing schools will be able to absorb students from the shire’s fast-growing southern end for the time being.

But most of them will have to travel to either Murwillumbah or Tweed Heads after bureaucrats acknowledged that their closest school – Kingscliff – is already using portable classrooms and is bursting at the seams.

The revelations have dismayed parents on the coast’s southern tip who expected the department to build a new high school on Pottsville’s sprawling Seabreeze estate which will eventually be home to 1,700 people.

The department made its views clear in a submission to Tweed Council about the rezoning of part of the estate which had been identified under a development control plan (DCP) as suitable for a future high school.

Council decided to rezone the land to residential following the department’s advice.

Chief planner Vince Connell said a school was still permissible under the zoning, but local real estate agents say the costs of acquiring the hectares needed

would now be prohibitive.

Department figures obtained

by Tweed MP Geoff Provest show that enrolments at Kingscliff High School this year have grown to 1,326, compared to 634 at Banora Point and 915 at Tweed River.

In its submission, the department acknowledges that

Seabreeze estate is located within the Pottsville Beach Public School and Kingscliff High School catchments.

‘These schools are currently experiencing increased student enrolments due to expanding coastal development in the Tweed region,’ it said.

‘They are operating at ca-

pacity with supplementation of demountable classrooms to accommodate current student demand. However, the Department anticipates that student numbers likely to be generated from (Seabreeze’s ) Stage 2 development will be able to be accommodated at existing schools.’

Developer ‘should stick to approved plan’ Metricon may now be able to build houses on part of its Seabreeze estate once earmarked for a school (see above), but could have a fight on its hands if it tries to put houses on another site promised for a shopping centre.

Council’s chief planner Vince Connell says although an area of land in stage eight originally approved for a town centre had been zoned residential, the developer faced hurdles if he tried to build houses instead.

‘If Metricon produces a revised proposal for residential development in the town centre lot, they would not require a rezoning,’ Mr Connell said.

‘But they would need to lodge a development application and justify the departure from the current DCP requirements and original Seabreeze Masterplan Concept.’

His comments follow fears by local residents that Metricon

has ditched original plans for a small cluster of retail shops after a court three years ago rejected the Melbourne-based developer’s bid to build a major shopping centre on the site.

Metricon, which again tried unsuccessfully to convince councillors that a full-line super­market was needed earlier this year, has declined to speak to The Echo about its future plans.

But Pottsville Residents’ Association president Chris Cherry said last week she believed the company had shelved plans for a ‘small-scale supermarket’ now that it failed to win approval for a bigger venture.

The developer’s failure to provide the type of facilities identified in the DCP has riled residents who have to drive or walk up to two kilometres to Pottsville village for their basic shopping needs.

Among those calling for a start to a neighbourhood-style retail centre on the estate is Pottsville Beach Business Chamber president Tania Murdock, who led the fight against a full-blown supermarket.

Ms Murdock, who was also involved in formulating a locality plan for Pottsville and surrounding estates, said she was disturbed that plans for both a school and town centre could be in jeopardy.

‘People bought into Seabreeze with the expectation that they would at least have a small convenience store as well as the possibility of a nearby high school and that’s what they should get,’ she said.

Making every school a Great School

Justine Elliot MP

The Gillard Government believes in the transformative power of education and is deeply committed to making every Australian school a great school.

This will help our kids get a world class education and the best start in life.

That’s why the 2011-2012 Budget has delivered over half a billion dollars of funding to ensure we recognise and reward quality teachers and improve schools.

STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES We are delivering a $200 million package to support students with a disability in our Government, Catholic and Independent schools, including new services such as speech and occupational therapy delivered at school, additional hours of in-class support and access to specialist equipment.

TEACHER PAY We are delivering on our commitment to bring in Australia’s first national system of pay bonuses for around 25,000 – or one in 10 – of our best teachers.

We are doing this because we know teachers play a huge role and giving children the best start in life possible.

NATIONAL TRADE CADETSHIPS PROGRAM From 2012 students from years 9 to 12 will be offered a new National Trade Cadetship as an option under the Australian Curriculum. This Cadetship will be delivered through their local Trades Training Centre and other eligible venues. Up to 50,000 additional structured work experience places will also be provided to students.

SCHOOL CHAPLAINCY The National School Chaplaincy Program supports schools and their communities to establish school chaplaincy services or to enhance existing services. The Gillard Labor Government through the Budget has committed $222 million to fund services for up to 3700 schools.

The Federal Labor Government has nearly doubled the national education budget.

Broken promises

The now-defunct Shinola shoe polish company is perhaps better known for its association with the phrase ‘you don’t know shit from Shinola’ than for its products.

Media Watch (www.abc.net. au/mediawatch/). ABC stalwart Jonathan Holmes also showed last week how some of the news media spun the release of Lindsay Tanner’s book Sideshow as a tell-all full of bitterness, which it is not: ‘There isn’t a hint of bitterness in the book towards any of Lindsay Tanner’s former colleagues, or even his political opponents. But he is caustic about what passes for political journalism these days. For example, he told Sky News’s David Speers: “…politicians do not have confidence that things that they say will not be grotesquely distorted and misrepresented almost from the minute they’ve said them, that happens on a daily basis, that is why you get spin, that is why you get defensive, robotic politicians”.’

Holmes is a still, small, taxpayer-sponsored voice in the wilderness of loony harangues from the likes of Alan Jones (http://bit.ly/aP6yoF). There you’ll see, for instance, Jones’s devoted acolytes slavishly following his line on a carbon tax.

Good that he likes Vera Lynn.

Crikey (www.crikey.com. au), too, has a section devoted to media spin. On coverage

of that wedding, Jeremy Sear observes: ‘You know that “two billion people” figure trotted out by lazy journalists as the claimed number of people who watched the other week’s royal wedding? It seems a bit suss when you think about it, doesn’t it? Where did they get it from? Why is it never actually sourced from anywhere?

2/7ths the entire population of the planet? Really?

‘Yeah, I’m sure six times more Indian viewers were glued to their sets for the English royals’ nuptials than for the 2011 India vs Sri Lanka cricket world cup final. And China – yeah, who could doubt that a huge percentage of their 1.3 billion population were tuned in?’

In fact, you could say the entire Crikey website looks at how issues are spun by the different estates of society. (The press allegedly became called the Fourth Estate by 18th century philosopher Edmund Burke.

The other estates under British parliament are the clergy, the hereditary lords and the common folk. Oscar Wilde wrote: ‘In old days men had the rack.

Now they have the press… We are dominated by journalism.’

This by the man who was a master of self-promotion.)

Thanks to Hans Lovejoy’s omnivorous reading habits I have been looking into not Chapman’s Homer (http://www.bartleby.com/101/634.html) but into Propaganda by the father of spin Edward Bernays (IG Publishing www.igpub.com/ propaganda.html). It’s worth it alone for the introduction by Mark Crispin Miller, in which we learn the word ‘propaganda’ was coined in 1622 as part of the push by Pope Gregory XV to curb the inroads of Protestantism on the ‘one true faith’.

Bernays – who lived happily to 103, thus proving the universe has no opinion on our personal morality – was at one time employed by the United Fruit Company, which had the advantage of the CIA’s cooperation in overthrowing a democratically elected government in Guatemala. I’m told Adam Curtis’s doco The Century Of The Self (http://bbc. in/5SWI8) admirably covers Bernays while examining how PR firms and politicians have used Sigmund Freud’s theories to help ‘engineer consent’.

See also The Anatomy of Spin by Kenneth S Hicks (www.rsu.edu/faculty/khicks/ Essays/Spin.htm) and PR Watch (www.prwatch.org). For a bit of light relief, visit that great satirical online magazine The Onion (www.theonion. com) which tells us what spin would be like if it were actually funny while hardhitting – see especially ‘PR Firm Kills Innocent Child’. n n n n

And once one has discovered that one is being spun to, the appropriate response is that of Clint Eastwood’s creation Outlaw Josey Wales: ‘Don’t piss down my back and tell me it’s raining.’ n Mungo is on holiday until

Climate cobblers

I am saddened at the number of people repeating denialist arguments without thinking for themselves.

A weekly paper recently chose to run a letter repeating an address from an anti-carbon tax rally in Perth. A quick check of the ‘facts’ presented in this address would see that all these arguments have been comprehensively debunked – see for example realclimate.org for a long list of the denialist arguments and the real facts. There are now more than 40 books published on how the climate denialist campaign has been funded and orchestrated, and how the philosophy originated from a reaction to the so-called ‘nanny state’.

Repeating a load of cobblers does not make it true. My response letter to the editor of this paper was of course not published, while two supportive letters were. This is like a paper publishing views that smoking is good for you – totally irresponsible.

Ten years ago I was working with a Queensland government climate science unit, and was told that droughts would get hotter and drier, cyclones would get more intense and rain events would be more severe. All this is happening, and we know we are responsible for a good part of it. Wake up Australia!

Moving response

Recently the media exposed the unfair way the invalid parking law was being enforced, as I was fined $430 for forgetting to display my permit. The response from the public was most moving, with offers of support both morally and financially.

Leaders flounder on CSG

■ I applaud the Tweed Shire Council’s decision to call for a moratorium on coal-seam gas mining in the Tweed. However, I fear that the council, by itself, may not prevent the minister issuing an exploration licence for the Tweed.

As has occurred previously, council decisions have been overridden in Sydney, ignoring the wishes of local people. Perhaps politicians should take note of the last election.

I have been told that Murwillumbah’s National Party member is favourably disposed to coal-seam gas (CSG) extraction. He has not replied to my query on this. Plus, it seems that the former leader of the National Party is a director of a company involved in CSG mining.

The NSW Liberal Party’s policy on CSG mining can be obtained by phoning 6621 3624 – but will these ‘motherhood’ policy statements be implemented or, most importantly, policed?

We all need to keep up the pressure – write, phone and email all the politicians involved to preserve our water supply and fertile land for future generations. Also, to prevent irreversible destruction (as has occurred in the Hunter), with multinational companies’ CSG profits disappearing overseas!

of Justine Elliot, who made representations on my behalf, that the fine has been waived.

This would not have happened without the involvement of you good people.

I also take this opportunity to thank Murwillumbah TAFE college for sending a cheque. I assure them that the cheque will be sent to a deserving charity in their name. Again, thank you all. May God bless you.

If he wants to prevent vandalism, consider the environmental vandalism his council is proposing, planning and surreptitiously proceeding with: the destruction of 8.3 hectares of regenerative, coastal forest at southside Cabarita. Not to mention all the flora and fauna for which this is their natural habitat.

While making the ugly underside of Chinderah bridge pretty, he wants to make a pretty (dare I say ‘beautiful’ and ‘scenic’?) natural bushland ugly.

All for the sake of an upmarket tourist park patronised only by the wealthy – not an affordable, family holiday, caravan park.

I consider this council-condoned vandalism.

Blight on society?

Having read mayor Skinner’s comments in the local paper: ‘Graffiti continues to be a blight on our society and it’s a shame that it detracts from our beautiful scenic waterway here at Chinderah. I personally believe that it’s something that if we have the opportunity to do something about, we should,’ I am delighted to see he is working to discourage vandals and maintain our beautiful scenery, but I can’t help but think that he is still focusing on the ‘pettier’ issues, at the expense of the big issues.

Phil Latz

She must soon come to terms with the fact that the community is the bread and butter of all the businesses she represents and each time she gives out her biased and ignorant opinions, she degrades the very people she wants to shop locally.

It’s time our local leaders came out in support of the local residents instead of creating and maintaining this ongoing division. What a shame that so many of these people couldn’t attend, but everyone of them found the time to attend Repco Rally events.

Thanks for coming and speaking out against this ‘monster’ that is about to invade our valley to both Barry Longland and our ever-present community supporter, Katie Milne.

Stokers Siding ■ What a fantastic rally against

coal-seam gas mining.

Congratulations to all who attended, but I am left wondering what Toni Zushke will complain about this time: more cars jamming the roads in Murwillumbah?

I hope she takes the bitter blinkers off and can this time realise what a wonderful community she lives in. I hope she realises that these events, like all small grassroot events, bring in a lot of money for local businesses.

supermarket in Seabreeze Estate, exactly what is Pottsville’s retail strategy?

At the moment, we have empty shops, no parking and no major supermarket chain.

Our current local supermarket may be a great convenience, but it cannot compete pricewise with the larger supermarkets.

Do our councillors expect that the majority of Pottsville’s residents will continue to drive to Kingscliff, Tweed or Murwillumbah for their major shopping expeditions? With Seabreeze Estate continuing to expand and with still many undeveloped blocks in the Koala Beach and Black Rocks estates, the population problem can only get worse.

I have lived in Pottsville for six years and never once to my knowledge has anyone from the Tweed Council asked the residents what they would like to have in regards to local shopping.

At last Sunday’s Pottsville market, there was a Tweed Shire Council information tent. I asked those in attendance what was the situation regarding the location of a major supermarket in Pottsville. Their answer was, it could not go in the current Pottsville retail strip as there is no room and no parking. Well, hello, where are they going to let one be built? What was wrong with Seabreeze Estate?

NSW govt steals the sun years but it has moved steadily forwards despite governments’ best attempts to throttle its growth.

This latest decision though flies in the face of democracy, common law, contract law, ethics and good governance.

■ Shame on the NSW government.

Shame on them for spear tackling a solution to climate change into the ground.

Shame on them for retrospectively legislating against the investment wishes and desires of the people of NSW. The immoral, unethical and possibly illegal action of the NSW government in removing the 60 cents Gross Feed In Tariff deserves the utter condemnation of the people of our region for this contrary, conservative, climate-wrecking government.

As the principal volunteer organiser of the Lismore Climate Care Solar Roll Out I feel personally embarrassed that the advice and encouragement I was giving to people to go solar may in some cases now have caused those same goodthinking, planet-caring people to suffer a financial penalty for their decision.

As a community volunteer, climate activist, environmental campaigner and planet carer for more than 30 years I have never before experienced a retrospective law that actually punishes those who have a desire to either support or assist the planet!

I have contacted the NSW government and the best advice I can offer you for follow-up information are the following web links: www. industry.nsw.gov.au/energy/ sustainable/renewable/solar/ solar-scheme/faq (and) www. industry.nsw.gov.au/energy/ sustainable/renewable/solar/ solar-scheme.

South Lismore

I know that tens of thousands of Tweed and NSW residents, particularly retirees, made a commercial decision to pay thousands of dollars to install solar panels on our homes.

Our decision was based on the 60 cents return that the NSW government passed into legislation for solar electricity fed into the grid.

This 60 cents was to be for seven years and we understood we had a contract with the NSW government on this basis.

We were also heeding the blitz of warnings that the price of electricity was to increase substantially in the near future.

Now, without any advance notice, or any mention in any election material, we find that overnight the premier of NSW has decided to legislate to reduce the 60 cents to 40 cents from July 1 and this will be

The air conditioning (A/C) coils in our homes, businesses and buildings in general provide cool, moist gardens for the propagation of mould and other microorganisms. The organisms propagate “24/7” to huge concentrations, creating a hidden biofilm of mould, deep inside the air conditioning systems. These microbial contaminants travel from the coil through the air streams, accounting for much illness and discomfort in buildings today and causing many of the maintenance and operational problems encountered.

There is an effective solution to this problem, being Sterile Air, UVC Emmitters. These devices use germicidal ultraviolet-C energy to eradicate surface and airborne mould, as well as viruses and bacteria.

Along with the obvious benefits to indoor air quality (IAQ), there are additionally, enormous savings that

Putting your money with an ethical investment or superannuation fund is another example of how we can use money in a socially positive way.

Ethical and sustainable investors seek to benefit from investment in companies whose activities make a difference on a range of ethical, social and environmental issues.

Taking account of a company’s environmental, social and governance performance makes good investment sense.

We’ve all heard of organic wine but there are a small number of vocal advocates for what’s being called biodynamic wine, or biodynamically grown wine – few more vocal than wine critic Max Allen. There are even a few blokes going a step further and making ‘natural wine’ – wine with no additives whatsoever, bottled unfiltered. But what do these terms mean and how does it affect what we drink?

What’s the secret to your success? There’s no real secret, but a lot of hard work and the will to keep pushing and moving things forward. If we do have a secret weapon, it would be Carlo. He literally works around the clock, now working in multiple international time zones, and is just relentless. It’s not easy what we do but it’s definitely worth it if music is your thing. Those things, combined with a good team and a live show with a difference, are what we have been able to travel the world with so far. And we are ever grateful for those opportunities.

What are the long-term plans for BKB? We see ourselves as continuing to have an evolving and socially conscious presence in the international and national music scene, recording and touring new music and sentiments that reflect the ethics and morals of our generation and our time here on earth We’re also really into collaborating and working with artists we’re inspired by and others outside our genre who are creating something fresh and real.

We recently collaborated with Gurrumul on a beautiful song called Gathu Mawula Revisited. This was the first collaboration for Gurrumul and he was great to work with in the studio and at the video shoot. The single Gathu Mawula Revisited is available on iTunes. Also you’ve got to check out Gurrumul’s new album Rrakala – it’s beautiful.

Working along Sly & Robbie…wow, tell me a little more about the new album. The new album, WORLDWIZE PT 1 North and South, took us to the homeland of so much of the music we listen to and are inspired by: Kingston, Jamaica. We wanted to go there to record the vocal parts for the album because we wanted to be surrounded by the energy and vibe of the music scene there. It was inspiring to work in studios like Tuff Gong and exciting to meet, connect and even collaborate with some of our favourite Jamaican artists.

JON STEVENS TWIN TOWNS FRIDAY

There are two tracks on WORLDWIZE that feature Sly and Robbie, Mo Truth Northside and Say Peace Southside. Sly was working at one of the studios where we spent most time, Anchor Studios, and we had a connection to him through the Spearhead camp, so he came in to one of our sessions to listen to some tracks and see if there was anything we could do as a collaboration. He picked those two songs and came through the next day with Robbie. This was definitely one of the main highlights for us. They are both really cool and chilled, friendly guys.

We later did the RaggaMuffin tour with them in Australia and have been keeping the link. Other than that we have Jah Mason and Queen Ifrica as the other Jamaican representatives on the album.

PAGE THREE GIRL

YOU’D THINK that since women won the right to vote, we’ve pushed for equal pay, championed for equitable work conditions and opportunities, we’ve agreed to time share our role as slave and nurturer in the home, and now we have the right to join the blokes on the frontline that the bikini-clad Page 3 Girl would be a thing of the past. Not so in the Tweed. It would appear that one of the other weeklies is more than happy to bring us a little sexist nostalgia in the form of a hot, bronzed bikini babe kneeling with her legs spread in the surf.

Actually when I am swimming I often get the urge to arch my back provocatively and let the white water lap my naked thighs. It’s a bit uncomfortable for the other mums and their kids at Torakina where I tend to swim but I do realise now that I’m going to have to be more careful. There could be a newspaper camera scouting for Page 3 material.

At size 16, I reckon I’d need all of Page 3 and a crack at Page 4. Ironically in a recent edition, sexy Jaimie Martin (who I don’t think is a Tweed girl btw) is placed beside an article with the headline ‘Business Women Recognised’. The article goes on to encourage the North Coast community to nominate business women to celebrate their amazing achievements. Mr Telstra, one of the major sponsors, even says ‘The Awards contribute to encouraging greater gender equality in business.’

Really? Will there also be a section for oiled-up man-studs in hot pink g-strings? Because from the article and the pic, there’s some pretty dodgy business going on. Clearly Ms Martin is a very good business woman. Looking fabulous in her hot pink bikini, she’s what I’d call an ‘owner operator’ and is quite happy to advertise her merch. Hell, I reckon she’d get a lot of merger offers, and on a good day she’d be up for a whole corporate takeover. Her assets certainly aren’t going to liquidate for at least ten

years.

What a wonderful message we are sending to young women who may be considering their options in the workforce. I was worried that my three teenage girls didn’t have a sense of direction. But now I can see a whole career pathway opening for them. Bikini Babe could be a new TAFE certificate. I mean, think of the study you’d need to do. There’s so much material to cover. Blue bikinis, white bikinis, red bikinis. How to safely apply spray tan. Waxing 101. Teeth Whitening. Ab maintenance. Breast enlargements. Brain reductions. How to pull the ultimate blow-job pout.

Page 3 girls are soft porn and are not the stuff of free weekly newspapers that everyone from nanna and pop to your toddler has a guernsey at. Hot chick snaps belong in Penthouse or Playboy mags. They should reside at truckstops, not tuckshops. As a woman I find it completely degrading – rampant objectification of women based on a tired old perception of what it is to be attractive: young, slim, semi-naked and usually white.

How about some equity with my weekly? If the other local papers are going to run Page 3 girls, then why not run a few Page 3 boys as well?

And what about us ugly girls: don’t we get a shot at it? We could pose in our tracksuit pants.

And what about older people? There’s a lot of hot coastal nannas that shouldn’t be ignored – you’ve seen them on the beach, little raisins in a black bikini.

Page 3 cougars. And what about some of us fatties? Perhaps you could feature us in our boardshorts and t-shirts romping in the fridge.

I’m wondering if Jackie Claire, publisher of Marie Claire, has any idea that her quote ‘We have championed women’s issues and we encourage women to fully realise their strengths and talents’ has encouraged rolling in the surf and flashing of nice tanned titties.

blue king brown Continued How has the music of BKB changed since you left here? Since we left Byron Shire our music has evolved and continues to evolve. In our most recent album you can hear there’s more of the urban influence coming through with tracks like Teachers are Leaders and Everywhere We Go, but we are still most definitely strongly inspired by our percussive background which you can hear on Our Word Is Our Weapon where we recorded 100 Samba parts to build the bed and soul of the track. Our sound is ever growing and expanding at the moment; I’ve started writing a lot using Logic with my small home studio setup and have been programming mainly dancehall, world beat sounds and layering all my vocals myself etc…learning the new tools we have and using them to create new sounds and push genre definitions.

What do you think is the essence of a BKB show…I suppose it’s your point of difference? I guess some things that may make BKB stand out to folks is that we’re made up of really talented individual musicians, which makes the quality of the solos and improvisations high. We fuse the percussion and energy we learnt from performing on the streets of places like Byron, with danceable melodies and grooves. All in all a fairly high-energy conscious show for all age groups. I think the fact that we’re an 8–11 piece band fronted by a woman adds something a little different too. :)

Live

entertainment My Friend the Chocolate Cake Fiasco is the unmistakable sound of My Friend the Chocolate Cake turning 21. Singer/songwriter and pianist David Bridie, never a man to gild the lily, reckons it’s a ‘classic cake mix’, with its distinctive pop-noir, its brooding urban angst and rich filmic gravitas shot with a lyrical Y IDIE OF M elegance for which Bridie is lauded. ’Dissonant textures, DAVID BR ATE L O C O H C E soaring pop string and vocal lines, sublime rhythm secFRIEND TH DLOUNGE N C AKE SOU Y tion grooves, sad songs and melancholic atmospherics FRIDA together with the piano are all parts of this band’s sound,’ says David. ‘It’s gelled here as well as it ever has.’

The glorious strings of Helen Mountfort’s cello and Hope Csutoros’ violin are high in the curious collision of elements that have made MFCC a failsafe concert draw, triple ARIA winners and a vivid presence on countless film and TV soundtrack these last two decades.

Their six-album history is a multi-dimensional mural of modern Australia that illustrates its geography, its political mores and its predominantly suburban identity – all by the kind of stealth that makes the most haunting, exhilarating and enduring pop music.

Stopping All Stations is the name of the tour, on the most exhaustive outing of My Friend the Chocolate Cake’s long and distinguished career. Prepare for a head-on collision with the quiet achievers of Australian pop at the Currumbin Soundlounge Friday.

Zoning in In the Zone is one of the Coast’s premier corporate music acts and has been entertaining audiences worldwide for over ten years. With their combined musical talents, multi-instrumentalist Tony and lead singer Neridah form the heart of In the Zone. From classics to the latest chart releases, pop-rock to funky dance and laid back dinner music, this Gold Coast-based cover act has a massive repertoire to cater for any moods. Currumbin RSL, Friday.

Pioneer from across the sea

- We are a family friendly Club

Tiki Taane is considered a pioneer in the New Zealand music scene, with a career spanning nearly 15 years. Rising to prominence as a member of leading New Zealand band Salmonella Dub, Tiki progressed from sound engineer to fully fledged front man penning some of the band’s biggest hits including Love Your Ways and For the Love of It amongst others. Although affectionately known as ‘King of the Dubs’ in NZ, Tiki’s musical influences and appeal are broad, traversing from dubstep, traditional style reggae, old school drum and bass and hip-hop, to more contemporary pop/rock sensibilities. Tiki is no stranger to Australia’s shores with a decade of touring with Salmonella Dub and recently as a solo artist under his belt, he has been on the bills of some of Australia’s best loved festivals: Big Day Out, Homebake and Reggaetown see them at the Coolangatta Hotel Friday.

- Make sure you check out our great weekly specials

As the lead singer of the iconic 80s Aussie band Noiseworks, Jon Stevens has released many multiplatinum albums, the first of which went number one and remained in the charts for 63 weeks, and the Greatest Hits record which sold 1.2 million copies, proving that the ex-New Zealander is one of

Australia’s most popular front men and inspired performers.

His role as Judas Iscariot in Jesus Christ Superstar thrilled over one million people and his stint as front man for the INXS world tour, along with his thousands of live and stage shows, has cemented Jon’s status as a true star. See Jon at Twin Towns on Friday.

It’s all about the Daughters When you get a bunch of Aussie larrikins and a mad Irish vocalist together put them in a recording studio in 40 degree heat, feed them beer and wild turkey, Haldane’s Daughters is what you come up with. Based on the north coast of NSW, Andy Burke and Neal Purchase Jnr started jamming and writing songs in Oct 2009, the perfect mix of Neal’s psychedelic garage rock sounding guitars accompanied with Andy’s quirky off-beat lyrics is the foundation of Haldanes Daughters. Grab Jamie Kasdagalis on organ, Paul Brewer on bass and the mighty Jay Krugener on mixing, drums, bass, recording etc and hey we have a few very rocking likeable tunes. Luckily for the lads there was no surf worth talking about the last few months so they could concentrate on the music. The latest members of the band are Rob Brown on drums and Lachlan Leckie on bass. The band are ready to kick some grooves at the Sheoak Shack this Saturday 7pm.

Culture Cultures co-mingle at Tyalgum

Even by the high standard of Tyalgum Festival events, the Barton and Garcia performance at Tweed River Art Gallery was exceptional.

great cultures.

Together and singly, they played their own compositions including Desert Stars Dancing, the signature track of their new album Mountain Tremolo, a Garcia work inspired by an earlier visit to Tyalgum, and Electric Landscapes: White Notes between Heaven and Earth, about what it is to be alive.

Garcia is a brilliant exponent of the Spanish guitar; Barton demonstrates that the didge requires discipline and technique to match any instrument of the western tradition. In a riveting appearance Barton’s mother, Aunty Delmae Barton, sang in a voice that expressed at once awe, sorrow and celebration – a sound emanating from the depth of the human soul and from the heart of this most ancient of lands. It was a profoundly spiritual moment in a concert that the audience acclaimed as a great cultural experience. Don’t miss the return performance at Tyalgum Hall, Saturday.

Soothing Soul Sufi Soul presents a concert of devotional music from India and Pakistan including Bhajans, Qawwali music, folk song and Indian classical music. Performing with Tahir Qawwal and Bhairavi Devi, is special guest from Brisbane, Dheeraj Shrestha.

Tahir Qawwal is a passionate and highly skilled performer, having trained with the highest masters of Sufi Qawwali music including Rahat Fateh Ali Khan (nephew and successor of Nustrat Fateh Ali Khan). His powerful voice conveys great depth and feeling. He is supported by his student and beloved partner, Bhairavi Devi.

Deeraj is a talented tabla player who performs internationally.

‘Sufi Soul’ aims to share the beauty of the Sufi culture, bridging east and west through the love of music. Within Sufi culture sound and music are important tools for the believer to get closer to God. This is a unique opportunity to experience the beauty and art of Indian and Pakistani classical music, which lies at the heart of Sufi culture.

VIRGO: If Tuesday’s intense full moon darkens your perspective and makes celebratory antidotes to sobering global realities difficult to discern, networking will lift your spirits, change your mood and attract lucky breaks. So don’t wait for invitations: reach out and take the initiative.

LIBRA: If early week full moon exaggerates work or personal dissatisfactions, use this as an opportunity to either give your attitude to what you’re unhappy with in your life a radical makeover, or else take the steps you know are needed to change the situation.

SCORPIO: Undercurrents brewing and stewing round your annual Scorpio full moon could activate an eruption of

bottled up issues on moody Tuesday or thereabouts this week. Rejecting them isn’t the answer, forgiveness is. Not an easy ask, but it’s being asked of all of us right now.

SAGITTARIUS: You’ve been juggling so many obligations, responsibilities and pressures recently that this week’s full moon could Whoosh! perform an emotional colonic when you’re least expecting it. Let it rip then R.I.P, leaving a clear breathing space to enjoy late week Sagittarius moon’s soul refreshment.

CAPRICORN: You know you can’t please everyone so do something you can achieve this week: look after numero uno. Friday’s Capricorn moon supports what the Dalai Lama calls enlightened self interest, because if you can’t take care

of yourself what gives you the right to advise anyone else?

AQUARIUS: Private, internal work brings this week’s most satisfying results, so keep your home atmosphere harmonious and your thought processes peaceful no matter what’s happening. Because home, and time with your homies, is where the heart and the art of living shine brightest right now.

PISCES: This week’s full moon in your truth zone suggests upgrading your basic beliefs and core values in line with current realities. The present emphasis is on learning, teaching and sharing your knowledge, but flaky behavior won’t be appreciated - others expect you to have done your homework.

CHESS

by Ian Rogers Play at Seagulls Club, Thurs 6-10pm As the Candidates Matches in Kazan, Russia, reach their midpoint, it is disturbing to think that the identity of Viswanathan Anand’s world title challenger may have been decided by a faulty chess clock.

Vladimir Kramnik, the last favourite left in the competition, only survived against rising star Teimour Radjabov by the skin of his teeth.

Radjabov, 24, needed only a draw in the diagrammed position, with Kramnik, White, having 21 seconds to complete the game and Radjabov 12, with players receiving a three second increment per move.

However, as Radjabov made his last move the clock suddenly malfunctioned and gave both players zero time! Confusion reigned, but after 13 minutes the position and the clocks were restored exactly as they had been.

Normally, those extra minutes would have been valuable to Radjabov, but it was Kramnik who came out of the break with a new winning try.

Kramnik v Radjabov – the position that may change chess history 61.Bc2! Rd4 62.Bb3! Be7 63.Bc4 Rd6 64.Kg2 Rd2+ 65.Kf3 Rd6 66.Ke4 Rd8?

Played almost instantly – necessary when operating at three seconds per move – but now Black runs out of moves. After 66...Rd2!

67.Bd5 Re2+ Black can hang on. 67.Bd5! Rd6 68.Rb7! Suddenly Black cannot avoid losing material – and Kramnik is back in the match!

68...Rd8 69.Rxb6+ Rd6 70.Rb5 Bd8 71.Rb7 Be7 72.Ra7 Rb6 73.Rxa5 Rb4+ 74.Kf3 Rd4 75.Ra6+ Kg7 76.Be4 Rd6 77.Rxd6 Bxd6 78.a5 Bc5 79.a6 Kf6 80.Ke2 1-0 The White king can walk over to help the a pawn, so Radjabov resigned.

After this slice of luck, Kramnik made no mistake and ran out the winner. So Kramnik will face Grischuk, who eliminated favourite Aronian, while Gelfand, victor over Mamedyarov, takes on Kamsky, who beat Topalov.

What a funny weekend it was, easily the worst fishing I’ve had for a long time.

I tried taylor fishing off the north wall on Saturday morning on the outgoing. No joy

there. Nothing worked for me.

My mate Ric and I spent a few hours on Saturday getting our gear ready for the last yak tournament in the KFY series held up on the Goldy. We had a game plan and all the gear.

What went wrong? We fished

for six hours trying different stuff yet we both struggled to get a bite. Normally if you’re a bit off and not catching bream (the target fish), you tend to catch a lot of other types to keep the adrenalin going, but Sunday for us was dead.

The rally against coal-seamgas mining in Murwillumbah last Saturday was much bigger than the 2009 protest march against the world motorcar rally, but for some reason there was a stark difference in the two: there was no visible police presence at Saturday’s rally keeping an eye on things, while in the 2009 march, police were on just about every street corner. Those involved in both marches were well behaved and traffic disruption for the duration was minimal, which to Backburner speaks volumes about the nature of the protests: they had broad community support. That can’t be said for much smaller political protests by say, the fishing party, or even anti-carbon-tax rallies, where abuse and threats of violence to those not with them on the issue are unfortunately commonplace.

Murwillumbah business chamber president Toni Zuschke, left, vice-president Rani Groves and director David Hillis at Saturday’s rally against coal-seam gas mining.

Ms Zuschke was roundly criticised last week for getting stuck into cannabis law reform campaigners travelling to Nimbin for the annual MardiGrass festival, calling them ‘undesirables’.

The different type of law reform rally in Murwillumbah, this time against coal-seam gas mining (CSG), attracted many of those who also went to the MardiGrass. The presence of Ms Zuschke n n n n did not go unnoticed by rally organiser Michael McNamara, who thanked her for taking up his Incidentally, our recent article invitation to join in, and let the big crowd at Knox Park know about it. on coal-seam gas mining stat- He said if that type of unity on the issue in the community continued, then the fight against ed that a petroleum explora- CSG mining would be won.

ful aging, we should remind readers that today, Thursday, the Seniors Expo is being held at the SDA Centre, 9am–3pm, Racecourse Road, Murwillumbah, with plenty of events, activities, workshops and advice. n n n n

Mayor Kevin Skinner had to be kindly reminded by fellow councillors this week that he was the mayor after a slip of the tongue. He said the local MP had invited ‘myself and the mayor’ to talks, when he meant the general manager. Councillors corrected him with ‘but you are the mayor’, and Cr Skinner quipped to the GM sitting beside him, ‘could we swap salaries then?’ Backburner can’t blame him for trying; the GM gets at least five times more pay than the mayor’s salary of around $50,000.

Tweed councillor Phil Youngblutt was wished a happy 76th birthday during the dinner break at council’s meeting on Tuesday night, with those there sharing some cake, candlelight and good cheer with the senior councillor. The age surprised many who thought him younger, but Cr Youngblutt underlined the fact at the very next item after dinner dealing with public toilets, when he said that, like Cr Dot Holdom, he visited lots of them, ‘not out n n n n of curiosity but because at my age you must have good toilets’.

nation round of Channel 7’s Dancing with the Stars. The so-called Raging Bull was last week panned for his performance, with judge Todd McKenney labelling his dance debut the worst in 11 seasons of the hit show. Occy who last week scored a paltry combined score of just seven, more than doubled that with his foxtrot this week. n n n n

Members of the Tweed Valley Hare Krishna community have marked Nrisimha Caturdasi – one the four major temple celebrations of the year – with a festival celebration at Eungella last Sunday. May 15 marks the divine appearance day of Nrisimhadeva, the fierce half-lion, half-man incarnation of Krishna. The event featured a drama performance by schoolchildren attending the Hare Krishna school, as well as chanting, dances, and a multicourse vegetarian dinner.

The conga line of fossil fuel spruikers, right-wing shock jocks, retired school teachers with a smattering of science and other gormless selfpromoters may have elevated crap over fact in the public mind where global warming is concerned, but the battle is not over. Most of us are innumerate, but everyone likes a little music so listen to the rap of genuine climate scientists, courtesy of the ABC’s Hungry Beast: www.youtube.com/watc h?v=LiYZxOlCN10&feature=p layer_embedded#at=24. n n n n

If you are reading this after Saturday, May 21, it means that you aren’t part of the rapture of the saved and you have nothing to look forward to but painful death and an eternity in hell. Right-wing American Christians, on the other hand, are now enjoying their flagdraped gay-free heaven.
