Panel approves Cobaki township’s first stage Luis Feliu

Construction for the first 916 lots in the 5,500home Cobaki subdivision on the border west of Coolangatta airport is set to start as soon as next month after the state planning panel approved them last Thursday, despite an eleventh-hour bid for an inquiry into the development.

The Northern Region Joint Regional Planning Panel (JRPP) cleared the way for the start of the new township, expected to accommodate over 12,000 people, but it wasn’t without opposition as various community and environment groups and politicians lined up against it during a second public hearing on the first development applications (DAs).

The lone dissenting voice of the five-member panel told media afterwards that the state government approved concept plan was ‘a poisoned chalice’ .

Concerns raised over the plan included traffic chaos, with only the one access from Boyd Street in Tugun during the estate’s early stages, the lack of water-saving or reuse measures in the greenfield-site development, the impact on service infrastructure on the Gold Coast, the small size of some of the lots, and the impact on koalas and wildlife in the areas with dogs permitted on the estate.

Majority panel members said the 110-plus conditions placed on the consent by Tweed Shire Council addressed many of those concerns but sustainable-development planning expert Dr Ned Wales, who voted against the DAs, told the public hearing at Tweed Heads civic centre he was not convinced.

Panel powerless Panel chairman Garry West said that arguments put forward had ‘struck a chord’ with panel members but the panel was powerless to alter the proposal and people had to ‘understand our constraints’.

‘It’s not our job to impose new policies… in respect to the concept and not our responsibility to go out of those parameters,’ he said.

However, council planning chief Vince Con-

nell told the hearing the panel could make amendments to lot sizes if it wanted to as part of the subdivision process and could defer a decision in order to request amended plans.

Mr West also said that the panel’s decision had no bearing on the federal government’s environmental assessment of the plan which was still being considered.

Dr Wales said the plans were put forward 20 years ago and failed to adequately protect the site’s native wildlife.

Plan inadequate ‘I felt the plan was inadequate, particularly in terms of biodiversity, conservation and infrastructure impacts but others on the panel felt their hands were tied,’ he said.

Dr Wales, an associate professor of Bond University’s school of sustainable development, said the outcome was a by-product of a ‘system that was failing’ but there were now attempts to repair it by returning some of the council’s planning powers.

‘Unfortunately the site plan approved was approved by the state through the now abolished part 3A process and the planning panel was handed a poisoned chalice, so to speak,’ he said.

Dr John Griffin, a former Tweed council general manager, told the hearing that despite calls for dual-reticulation for the subdivision to save water, the required level of waste-water treatment would be costly and a major impediment.

But Dr Griffin, who moved for the approvals, said he hoped council would address the isssue ‘before other large greenfield developments are considered’.

The state Greens failed in their bid to debate the issue in the Upper House on the day of the panel hearing, with MLC David Shoebridge saying the government was just not interested in safeguarding the native koala population.

‘This is a matter of statewide relevance. Koala populations are drastically falling across the state. Koala habitat is found in the rich coastal and inland forests that are too often the target of

Federal intervention sought for koalas The Tweed’s peak environmental lobby is to ask the federal government to help protect koalas in the proposed Cobaki township which was given the green light last week by the Joint Regional Planning Panel (JRPP).

Caldera Environment Centre (CEC) co-ordinator Paul Hopkins said the CEC and the Tweed Greens were putting together a submission about the 5,500-home estate to the federal environment department.

The Cobaki project was last year called in by the department to assess it under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act. The assessment is yet to be finalised.

The groups are hoping the submission could lead to improvements to the approved plan which would help koala protection, including enlarging a number of house block sizes on the edge of the habitat protection zone (wildlife corridor) established by the Gold Coast City Council.

Meanwhile, the chairman of the JRPP says he can’t respond to community calls, including the CEC, for a commission of inquiry into the planning approval of the Cobaki Estate.

Garry West says concept approval has already been grant-

ed by the previous planning minister, and any inquiry into that decision would have to go through formal channels.

‘There used to be a very formal process within the Department of Planning; that doesn’t exist within the frame-

work at the moment and that’s not something that’s within the power of our panel,’ he said.

‘Obviously if community residents want an inquiry then they have to make that point through the political process.

‘The fact that it’s got concept approval certainly is a clear indication that we can probably only try and enforce some of the finer points and requirements to ensure that the community is protected in the future,’ Mr West said.

developers’, he told parliament.

Gold Coast councillor Chris Robbins told the panel that developers of the estate near the Tugun hospital would be ‘selling a ticket to gridlock’ with the sole Boyd Street access which would adversely impact on the Gold Coast community.

Cr Robbins said Gold Coast City Council may have to consider charging residents there for services used on the Queensland side of the border such as parks and sports fields.

‘Residents there are likely to travel to other centres, which will become a burden on existing services struggling to meet demand there.’

She also said the planned ecological corridor linking Cobaki with Currumbin Valley would be broken down as result of the development.

Caldera Envrionment Centre co-ordinator Paul Hopkins said environmental planning legislation had been ‘dumbed down’ over the years with a lot of political interference in favour of developers and not the environment.

Mr Hopkins questioned the ‘expertise’ of the panel members to make a decision on such an ‘enormous amount of material’.

He said the site, which used to be covered with dense lowland schlerophyll forest and scribbly gums, had been ‘trashed’ in less than 15 years just for commercial development.

He said the destruction of that ‘heritage’ was ‘disgrace-

<echowebsection=Local News>

ful’ and the developer had not worked with nature but against it. Wildlife corridors, buffer zones and lot sizes were inadequate and there were not enough pedestrian and bicycle ways.

Mr Hopkins said planners should have insisted on larger rainwater tanks, onsite composting and a total ban on dogs, larger blocks near the edge of protection zones and better control of stormwater runoff.

Third world solutions

site could have provided ancillary support by links to the north to facilitate recovery of the population in the Tweed, believed to number around 140.

He said a proposed wildlife corridor in the estate should have been made ‘as wide as you can possibly make it’ with dogs banned near those corridors. He also said a koala plan of management for Cobaki should be drawn up.

Both DA approvals contain conditions on users banning cats and restricting dogs in ‘suitably fenced yards’.

Reg van Rij, the regional manager for developers Leda Manorstead, owned by billionaire developer Bob Ell, told the hearing that the company had been planning the estate for 20 years and the DAs conformed with the requirements of the approved master plan.

Mr van Rij said that federal government approval under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act was still required, but the DAs had to be approved beforehand as per the normal process.

He said impacts on Gold Coast infrastructure was a ‘complete distraction’ because people on the Queensland side of the border would use Cobaki facilities and vice versa.

He said he’d had numerous approaches from Gold Coast sport clubs for Leda to allow them use of Cobaki’s fields and facilities when built because of the stress on the Gold Coast facilities ‘so it’s a two-way street’.

‘We are using third world solutions in the 21st century,’ he said.

Greens Cr Katie Milne said the Gold Coast had a koala conservation strategy for the Currumbin Valley adjacent to Cobaki and it was ‘incumbent on us’ to treat the adjacent area inside the Cobaki development as a koala recovery zone, but council was ‘not even aware’ of the Gold Coast strategy for specific koala recovery area ‘which is a real concern’.

‘The site was thriving with koalas in the 1980s but now there are none.’

She said the proposed 60–70-metre wide wildlife corridor at Cobaki was indadequate, given the planned Gold Coast corridor would be 500 metres.

Koala expert Dr Stephen Phillips warned the koala population in the Tweed was in steady decline and in the north of the shire could be ‘gone’ in ■ See Planners working with five to ten years.

Police push for Marine Parade HQ Luis Feliu

Tweed Shire Council is digging its heels in against the state government’s push for new police headquarters on Kingscliff ’s Marine Parade.

The NSW Police Force last month lodged a DA for a $5 million redevelopment of the Kingscliff station to become the shire’s new police headquarters but councillors baulked at the plan, deciding instead to lobby local MPs to

back its preference for an integrated emergency services facility elsewhere in the shire.

Mayor Kevin Skinner told council’s meeting last month that the push for a major police station at Kingscliff was driven by the police service, which had available funds for it.

But Cr Skinner said the Kingscliff police station site was in the middle of a highly populated zone with a 50km/h limit, as were the local fire brigade and ambulance stations,

and not appropriate for a central police headquarters.

He said the Tweed Heads station was an old building, but a more centralised site to service the whole shire was needed.

Cr Joan van Lieshout said that when she was mayor, she was approached by the owner of a site on the corner of Tweed Coast Road and Cudgen Roads offering the land up for an emergency services centre but she would ‘never agree to it’

because of the traffic risks with the busy intersection.

Cr van Lieshout said the push for the Cudgen site was politically driven and councillors ‘haven’t decided for ourselves where we want it’.

The police DA, according to council, is likely to be determined by the Joint Regional Planning Panel (JRPP) rather than councillors.

The police union is backing the Kingscliff plan.

Stage one of boat harbour facelift open to public Luis Feliu

The Jack Evans Boat Harbour is slowly but surely being transformed under Tweed Shire Council’s multimillion-dollar upgrade, with stage one of its redevelopment now complete and open to the public.

The new-look harbour features an all-abilities and enlarged swimming area with an access ramp to the water and rock pools, boardwalks, modern park furniture and landscaping, with open green space for picnics and passive recreation. Energy-efficient lighting also has been fitted around the harbour to improve pedestrian safety.

The upgrade is set to make the acquatic playground a magnet for locals and visitors alike.

A council spokesperson said the project has created ‘a vibrant recreational and tourism centrepiece for Tweed Heads, which acts as a fitting gateway to the Tweed and NSW’.

The stage-one rejuvenation also includes revetment and improved filtration of stormwater, as well as the first stage of the Goorimahbah – Place of Stories Aboriginal botanic and artwork gardens.

Last week, council accepted a tender from a Gold Coast company for the design and construction of a new toilet and shower block at the site (see sidebar).

Toilet block ‘too costly’ The awarding of a contract for almost half a million dollars for the design and construction of an amenities block at Jack Evans Boat Harbour has come under fire.

harbour foreshore was too much.

The tender is exclusive of GST and council general manager Mike Rayner has been authorised by councillors to approve variations of up to $150,000 over the accepted tender price.

‘It’s looks like a lovely toilet but half a million for a toilet block?’ said Cr Milne, the only one to oppose the move.

‘Do we really need a wedgeshaped design if it will cost us more?

Council’s recreation manag-

er Stewart Brawley responded that it was ‘a little more than a toilet block’ and its location was a major part of the design.

Mr Brawley said the contract for the council building was the ‘best value for money in an open market’ than if council planners did the job.

The amenities block is to have eight unisex cubicles, two bathrooms for disabled people, storage rooms, an external handwash bay, a row of public showers and two rainwater tanks with pressure pumps.

M’bah TAFE pilots reconciliation efforts Kate McIntosh

A new initiative at Murwillumbah TAFE which aims to raise awareness around Indigenous history and culture may be used as a pilot program in other campuses across the North Coast.

The Tweed Campus Aboriginal Cultural Activities Committee was established last November as part of efforts to recognise issues and events of cultural significance for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

On Tuesday the committee hosted its second event since its formation, with a morning tea held at the Murwillumbah campus as part of celebrations for National Reconciliation Week.

Earlier this year, the committee hosted an event marking the anniversary of the national apology.

Students, staff, campus management, as well as local Indigenous leaders were present at the morning tea, with visitors given an opportunity to view a recently published cultural calendar, as well as a Reconciliation Week library display.

Last year, 5,000 Indigenous

Highlighting the Tweed’s unique biodiversity will be a particular focus at local celebrations for World Environment Day this Sunday (June 5).

Members of the Caldera Environment Centre (CEC), who are organising the event, are hoping to generate community support for their campaign to have the Border Ranges region declared a UNESCO biosphere reserve.

With a range of environmentally themed activities planned throughout the event, organiser Christine Moore said there would be something for everyone.

‘We’ve got everything from organic gardening, to activism and lots of things for children,’ she said.

Team leader of the Aboriginal Learner Support Service, Simone Nelson, said the committee grew out of the Reconciliation Action Plan, which was developed a number of years ago.

The committee is now involved in the planning, implementation and review of significant cultural events both on campus and in the community.

‘In a way it’s a pilot program.

Other campuses are now looking to it as a model to be more inclusive with people,’ Ms Nelson said.

‘One of the main advantages is it gives everyone an opportunity to get involved in learning about these things.’

Guest speakers will also lead workshops on a range of topical issues, including coal-seam gas, organic food growing, renewable energy and climate change.

Heading up the entertainment line-up is popular Gold Coast act the Mason Rack Band, with Uki-based singersongwriter Loren and Larnook five-piece Suavemente also performing.

Organisers are expecting more than 1,000 people to attend the Murwillumbah event, which is held annually in conjunction with global celebrations marking WED. Ms Moore says it’s also hoped the event will stimulate more widespread interest in the longterm strategies to preserve the region’s natural environment.

So far there have been 564

internationally recognised biosphere reserves established in more than 109 countries.

‘Through the UN initiative a whole bio-region is conserved, leaving room for ecologically sustainable development,’ she said. ‘That means forests, nature reserves and wildlife corridors are preserved.’

CEC assistant coordinator Kim Hollingsworth said the Border Ranges region had the highest biodiversity levels in NSW and was second only to Kakadu in Australia.

The event is funded by Tweed Shire Council, as well as the Bush Futures initiative – a joint partnership between Tweed and Byron regions and the state government.

The celebrations will be held at Knox Park, Murwillumbah, from 10am to 3pm.

Across the border The Gold Coast Hinterland Environment Council (Gecko) is holding its annual Green Day Out festival as part of World Environment Day celebrations.

The event features environmentally themed exhibits and displays, as well as the Little Green Dress eco fashion. Open to all aspiring and established designers, entries are judged in the categories of Ready to Wear and Wearable Art, with winners announced on the day.

IN THE CLOSET! What do you think the biggest issue superannuation fund members (that’s you & me) vent when complaining to the super regulator APRA? Investment returns?... Fees?...The hassle involved with paperwork, certifying ID with a local JP and more forms, forms, forms when trying to roll funds over? What about call centres and the long waits or incomprehensible staff when finally getting through?

The answer is... complaints about payment of your super benefits!!!!!!

Let me elaborate.

When you come to the end of the line in life your super benefits are paid to your nominated beneficiary, a loved one generally. The problem is, many of us have nominated an ‘invalid’ beneficiary! A superfund can only pay benefits to someone who is financially dependent on you.

Mum & Dad don’t normally qualify as being dependent on you for cash (it’s usually the other way around). Same generally goes for brothers, sisters or even girlfriends/boyfriends for example.

That leaves the trustee of the superfund with a small quandary. You have nominated someone, but it’s invalid. The trustee must now make investigations as to who may have a right to your money. The call goes out (usually in a local paper), to anyone who cares to make a claim for a share of your super benefits. Ex-wives/husbands, boyfriends/girlfriends, business partners, brothers/sisters. Unfortunately when money is the subject, skeletons start to appear from the strangest places and things can get weird!

Proof of such a right to claim must be provided, but at the end of the process, long after it begins and much to the heartache of your patient loved ones, the trustee may rule that some of your cash goes to one of the skeletons... which may cause yours to roll in the grave!

That is the biggest complaint against a super fund – death benefit payment delays & rulings.

So if your skeleton is the only one you want your executor & loved ones to deal with, call our anti-skeleton hotline today.

Planners working with ‘old policies’ local level and those decisions are made in Sydney,’ he said.

‘I’m not so much opposed to the development because as a planner I’m aware that many thousands of people will arrive in this area in the next 30 years.

It has more to do with the inadequacy of the site plan itself.

Border biodiversity Dr Wales said there appeared to be no consideration of biodiversity initiatives by the Gold Coast City Council and the Queensland government even though the project was hard up against the border.

‘They (Queensland) have been very active in developing biodiversity corridors and mapping them so development does not so much impinge on them,’ Dr Wales said.

‘But in northern NSW corridors have not necessarily been co-ordinated with the Queensland corridors and we have a bit of mismatch in terms of outcome, particularly in regard to koalas.

‘I’m not sure our planning mechanisms and policies are keeping up with the pace and certainly in this case necessarily delivering highly sustain-

able ecological outcomes.’

Dr Wales failed to persuade other panel members to send the plans back to Sydney to be reviewed by the new government.

Diligent mapping He said in the future people need to be more diligent about mapping wildlife corridors.

‘If we do this we can realise what we can try to protect and what is going to be lost,’ said Dr Wales, adding that consolidation in high density areas in certain locations was a key to our future housing needs.

From Coolangatta to Sydney in just 80 days While teaching in East Timor last year, Glen Hammermeister was so impressed with the work Oxfam were doing in the local villages, he decided to help.

To raise awareness and money for the aid group Glen, from Brisbane, is walking, via the beaches from Coolangatta to Sydney. Carrying everything he needs on his back Glen reckons on the stroll taking 80 days.

As I said last letter thermals are a guy’s best friend, nice and light weight, quick to dry and don’t make you look like the Michelin man.

We’re busy planning a trip to Broken Hill next month, so we’re busy amassing all the cold weather stuff we can find, so we can test them. We just unpacked some new heaters, that are supposed to be heaps warmer than other camping heaters, that’s going on the top of my list, a new pair lambswool Uggs are number 2, -5ºC sleeping bag… and so it goes on.

Dear product tester,

Cr Polglase said the site allowed for the later relocation of the fire and ambulance services there and that the benefits far outweighed what he described as the land’s ‘questionable’ prime agricultural status.

The status of the farmland site on the edge of Kingscliff has been fought over for years with developers buying up the ocean view land in the hope of

making a windfall if it could be rezoned.

Council’s probity officer Neil Baldwin told The Echo no formal application for the extraordinany meeting had been received by Wednesday this week.

Tweed MP Geoff Provest, who in the past has opposed the plan to rezone the Cudgen site, is now believed to support it. However, Mr Provest did not return requests by The Echo to comment.

Town planners were only just ‘catching up’ with sustainable planning issues, yet they work with old policies, according to a member of the Joint Regional Planning Panel (JRPP).

Dr Ned Wales, a sustainable development expert who opposed the first stage DAs for the Cobaki township, told The Echo that ‘NSW planning legislation was written in 1978 and has been amended many many times, but other states make new legislation in order to achieve sustainable outcomes’.

Is our love affair with consumption over?

Steve Tighe

Volume 3 #38

June 2, 2011

Thin end of the wedge The seemingly bizarre push to build a new police headquarters on Kingscliff ’s tourist strip looks like a smokescreen to obscure an orchestrated grab for a slice of Cudgen farmland.

Police big-wigs were left red faced a few months back when the former NSW Labor government rightly refused their request to rezone 1.5ha of the red-soil land from the highest farmland category to special purposes.

Even Tweed MP Geoff Provest, who was then in opposition, lambasted the move in parliament.

He said the police had spent $200,000 pursuing the failed DA, adding that ‘it was a bit like tearing up $20 bills on top of the Opera House and throwing them to the wind’.

Mr Provest told the Lower House the land should be retained for farming, saying ‘There are other alternative sites which are also close to the highway and could prove just as suitable.’

Now strangely our newly re-elected National Party MP seems to have joined the pro-development brigade in what appears to be yet another strong push to concrete over what is some of Australia’s best farming land.

Even Constable Plod could have predicted the backlash when police last week came up with a new site, applying to redevelop a suburban-style house which has long served as Kingscliff ’s part-time police station.

The new site is clearly a dud. It’s in a built-up area, kilometres from a motorway only accessed by 50km/h roads studded with speed bumps, and not big enough to satisfy long-held plans to put all the shire’s emergency services in a central flood-free location.

It is also a long way to drive prisoners under escort to the closest possible courthouse at Tweed Heads, with taxpayers’ dollars being wasted on paying Corrective Services for the extra workload.

So it was no surprise that almost on cue veteran councillor Warren Polglase led a chorus calling for another look at the Cudgen site now that his National Party mates are back in power.

Cr Polglase, who’s supported other failed attempts, including one by owners Kingscliff Land Company to build homes and a shopping centre before the council was sacked, wants a special meeting of council to push a decision through as quickly as possible.

This is despite the fact that police have not demonstrated any urgent need for a new building on the site of an existing station which is only manned on a part-time basis.

Councillors should not be stampeded into making a decision on land which has long been classified as being of state significance.

But as Mr Provest and others have pointed out in the past, there are plenty of other viable options which don’t involve alienating viable farmland with what planners say will be the thin end of the wedge.

8 June 2, 2011 The Tweed Shire Echo

The recent publicity and general celebration accorded to Myer Melbourne on the reopening of their new Bourke Street shopping complex seems to have overlooked a subtle yet profound shift in consumer thinking.

Put simply, is the Australian consumer falling out of love with consumption?

And if so, could there have been a worse time for any organisation to spend $500 million on renovations to sell ‘stuff ’ to a society whose wardrobes are already ‘stuffed’?

It’s easy to look at the recent downturn in retail expenditure in this country and dismiss it as a temporary blip as a more cautious consumer attitude arises out of the Western financial crisis. But what if consumers are not merely re-thinking their attitudes towards debt and credit? What if the real driver of this decline is a fundamental shift in how society perceives consumption and materialism?

If the golden age of materialism were set to continue, then a revamping of a major shopping complex makes sense. After all, in a world of superficial comparisons one must maintain one’s looks. Our honeymoon period with materialism has been characterised by mindless consumption – ‘That’s just what we do around here’. It was a period which saw consumers evolve from lay-by (delayed satisfaction) to buy now, pay later and 48 months’ interestfree purchasing.

Even better for retailers, it was during this period that a more subtle shift in the consumer psyche occurred.

Whereas previously it was products that came with an in-built obsolescence, forcing consumers to replace goods

Isla Fisher stars in this consumption-based fantasy.

when they broke down, the materialistic age has seen the rise of an internal obsolescence which exists in consumers’ minds. The consumer now sees obsolescence where none physically exists.

With retailers and manufacturers preying upon the social urge for newness, this consumer mindset has become such a powerful driver for retail and economic growth over the past two decades. Internal obsolescence has ensured that consumers are in a constant state of upgrading, renovating, credit application, and material consumption.

Dangerous basis However, the persistence of a mindset is a dangerous basis for any strategy, let alone a strategy costing $500 million plus. For the overwhelming majority of Australians, our attitude towards consumption is based on want not need. As such, it is a fragile perception.

And fragile perceptions are dangerous for business planning because they can, and do, change suddenly.

Mindsets change on the basis of different circumstances or different information; for example, the circumstances in

BE GEORGOUS HAIR PROMOTION

which we find ourselves today.

In a world where resources were assumed to be abundant, consumption as a form of status seemed to feel right.

However, as our perceptions of natural resources shift from abundant to limited, the goalposts of what constitutes status are also shifting.

So, as the debates about climate change, global warming, and carbon taxes abound, Australians are being shocked from their position of mindless consumption to a position of awareness – we are becoming aware of our materialistic attitude. And with this awareness comes a whole new set of questions many of us are asking.

In a materialistic world, consumer questions tend to be quite shallow, more concerned with superficial elements such as price, appearance and branding. As post-materialistic values begin to take hold, consumers will be asking different and deeper questions of their products. We’ve already seen that questions like ‘How did it get here?’ and ‘How was it made?’ are being given greater consideration as consumers broaden their interest beyond the shelf.

However, the paradigm

shifting questions are ‘Do I really need this?’ or ‘Do I really want this?’ These questions represent a clear shift in consumption attitudes and will have a profound impact on the future of consumer expenditure in this country.

In a post-materialistic world, rather than being celebrated or seen as a symbol of status, excessive consumption is likely to be perceived as a form of ignorant behaviour. And consumption could be poised to take a remarkably similar journey to the fall in perceptions that smoking has undergone over the past 60 years.

And if such a journey were taking place then it would make sense that declining retail figures would be an early indicator of the shift in perception. Due to its heavy reliance on stimulating want, retail is the canary in the mine for all industries of the coming new age.

Not a new idea The rise of post-materialism is not a new idea – The Value of Voluntary Simplicity was written by Richard Gregory in 1936 – but perhaps it is an idea whose time has come.

So instead of spending millions on strategies in the belief that the future will repeat the past, perhaps now is the time for retailers to prepare for a new consumption paradigm; a post-materialistic landscape where a substantial and permanent decline in consumption as we know it is the norm.

Forget the proposed carbon tax, or even the loss to internet sales; this new consumer paradigm represents the greatest challenge to the existing business models of retailers going forward.

The quality of mercy…

An important legal precedent was established by Shakespeare in The Merchant of Venice.

In Shylock vs Antonio the defendant’s lawyer, Portia, having unsuccessfully pleaded for mercy, argued that while there may be a legally binding contract in favour of Shylock, it was for a pound of flesh but not one drop of blood could be drawn.

The court held in favour of that argument.

So, given that our government can grant access to the land below the two or three metre level, the top layer remains the legal property of the rightful landowner.

Therefore, quoting Shylock vs Antonio, mining companies can probably mine coal-seam gas but cannot drill into, cut, excavate or in any way interfere with the upper two or three metres.

Perhaps that would protect our soil and water – the very life blood of our nation.

North or south it’s gone

Appalling Cobaki decision n Two highly respected ecolo-

gists addressed the Joint Regional Planning Panel about the first three subdivisions of the Cobaki Concept Plan. Mr David Milledge told the panel it was ‘an awful plan, in fact it is a plan for extinction’.

Dr Stephen Phillips, author of the Tweed Coast Koala Habitat Study 2011, stated that koalas in the north Tweed Coast are set for extinction in 5–10 years, and that the area surrounding the Cobaki Broadwater is the only viable location for a koala recovery area in the north of Tweed.

No koala plan of management was included.

Council advised that it was definitely within the scope of the JRPP to expand vital wildlife corridors by reshuffling the lots around. Council had not determined exactly how far such control over density distribution was possible within the Concept Plan as they had not investigated such a path.

There had been no further discussion with Gold Coast City Council about their 500m bioregional critical corridor just on the other side of the border and running into the Cobaki Broadwater. I was provided advice by the GCCC that they were due next month to consider implementing a koala recovery area in the adjacent suburb Currumbin Waters just 1/2 to 1km away.

The federal government is yet to grant approval. It’s now essential that local member Justine Elliot has a full understanding of the issues involved for Tweed’s nationally threatened species and the connectivity of the Cobaki landscape.

The site contains a mosaic of six endangered ecological plant communities supporting 644 different species in total, including the koala and 20 threatened species.

Tweed has the highest concentration of threatened species in Australia.

I read with interest your two correspondents, Tom and Jerry, commenting last week on the erosion at Kingscliff. Of course we have Tom telling us the sand is going north, while Jerry says it’s going south.

No matter where it’s going, the fact is the current erosion was predicted by consultants who prepared the Coastline Management Plan some years ago. I remember numerous meetings in the Kingscliff Hall in the early and mid 2000s, where all the sceptics said the predicted erosion would never eventuate. However, this same plan also gives the solution as to how the beach at Kingscliff can be repaired.

against fauna habitat corridors for the dogs present, the banning of dogs or simply no dogs allowed near corridors, they could have at least spoken up against a number of needed changes to the planning of this massive housing estate.

Issues such as inadequate water-saving initiatives, traffic, lot size (120 square metres), and burden on the Tweed and Gold Coast infrastructure. Who will pay for the cost of upgrading infrastructure? Ratepayers, of course!

Many Bilambil residents will be frustrated at being unable to travel through the Cobaki development till 2018 when the Cobaki Parkway and Spine Road from Marana Street, Bilambil are due to be finished. Till then, Boyd Street, the only exit to the Gold Coast, which will be increased to four lanes only when 3,500 lots have been constructed or when traffic travelling east at the border exceeds 800 vehicles per hour. In the interim it will be chaos with cement trucks and construction vehicles battling with regular traffic.

Many in the community are rightfully angry about this situation. JRPP was put in place to create some balance and instead they have gone along in favour of the developer and taken little notice of all the fantastic speakers’ submissions, who no doubt went away feeling that their efforts were just a waste of time.

A very sad day for the Cobaki koalas whose habitat will be destroyed and whose future is extinction in a few years.

Our leaders (including council) could have stood up to the developer and demanded maximum conditions but, oh well, the developer got his way.

corridor through the Cobaki Lakes site to the Gold Coast Council’s Currumbin Valley koala recovery area and not partner in the Gold Coast City’s Currumbin to Cobaki Broadwater bioregional 500m corridor plan have now been endorsed by the JRPP. Tweed ratepayers have already picked up the bill for the $12 million traffic bridge leading to Cobaki Lakes and are indebted for a future $40 million dollar interchange to service the Cobaki subdivision.

Council’s present wasteful water reuse policy supports their current water supply option to build a future Byrrill Creek dam. This is likely to cost $100 million dollars, if it is ever built. At the Cobaki site, council has been negligent by allowing quarrying and crushing of blue metal road material without approvals and have failed to appropriately monitor conditions of consent since earthmoving began in 2004.

The ill-informed remarks of the developer’s representative at the JRPP meeting saying that saving the koala was not supported by the majority of the Tweed community seems to reflect Tweed Shire Council’s attitude in not protecting Cobaki’s endangered koala.

This is a sad time for Tweed, where more planning is required to save Cobaki’s koala habitat, the environment and the pockets of the ratepayer.

Recent approval on May 26 of Tweed Shire Council recommendations by the Joint Regional Planning Panel (JRPP) for the first 917 lots of the 5,500 lot Cobaki Lake subdivision will now see Tweed ratepayers pay a high price for council’s poor environmental and planning policies. Prior to approval, members of the JRPP admitted that they were restricted in changing key issues of the NSW Planning Concept Plan sanctioned by Tweed Shire Council.

The team at Organic Revolution are committed to bringing you quality organic cotton products for your lifestyle.

Practical everyday organic cotton items are readily available now in store, as well as chemical-free, recycled, eco-friendly and fair trade products – your shopping choices really make a huge difference to families and their communities worldwide!

Conventional cotton farming uses 25 per cent of all the world’s chemicals and also uses more water than any other crop.

Organic cotton has a distinct, soft feel and energy about it – grown in India, Turkey and Africa (a little now in Australia too) usually by small family farms and communities working together, where the choice to not use chemicals on the crop also stops them being indebted to the chemical agricultural companies.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows! ~ Sam Levenson

OR G

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.

For poise, walk with the knowledge you’ll never walk alone.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; Never throw out anybody.

Remember, If you ever need a helping hand, you’ll find one at the end of your arm.

STILLLIFE WITH HOUSEWIFE Mandy Nolan

DRIVING HOME from a gig last night I listened to a caller on talkback radio rave about appreciating the stillness of life. I was gobsmacked. I didn’t realise there was stillness.

It’s been so long since I’ve experienced any sort of inner peace that I doubt it even exists. I don’t think I’ve had stillness in my life for the last 16 years. I don’t do Still. I do Chaos. Calamity. Noise.

Activity. Panic. Stress. And of course, absolute exhaustion.

The minute you give birth all hope of experiencing stillness evaporates forever. In retrospect I now realise that it wasn’t just my perineum you could hear ripping, that was my peace of mind. That’s why the screams of labour are so chilling.

It’s easy for Buddhist monks to experience the emptying of the mind, but let’s be honest, they don’t have anything to fill their lives with in the first place. When you’ve denounced worldly possessions and emotional attachments, and you’re living in a monastery without even the challenge of choosing what to wear (um, I might go the maroon vest with the gold bedsheet) then I’d say experiencing stillness is entirely unimpressive. Buddhist monks would impress me if they lived my life and then still managed to experience a sense of quiet, calm connection to their higher power.

I’ve seen that reality show Wife Swap where families swap mothers to get a different view on life. I challenge Mr B Monk to a life swap with me for a week. I’ll wear the colours and hang with the brothers, as long as he promises to meet all my maternal responsibilities. I’d like to see him have a crack at hanging out with the baby while trying to complete a full day’s work. Vacuum the floors, attempt two loads of washing, then realise you’ve run out of gas. No hot showers tonight. Ring company to order gas then be told the account is overdue so they won’t drop off. Two days before money comes in so juggle accounts on line so you can pay gas and then order again.

Do dishes from night before. Empty bins. Clean dirty undies, socks and discarded popper containers from under children’s beds. Take dog for a walk. Think about dinner. Write article and send media release on upcoming show. Take a booking and try to sound professional while a 2-year-old yells ‘Lie down, Titty!’ as she pushes you on the couch for ferocious suckling. Get a call from school to find out that one of the kids has skipped class and is on detention. Feel urge to do a poo but can’t extricate yourself from the

toddler. Put it off.

Make arrangements for meetings with teachers.

Get doctor’s referral for another one of the kids with a fungal skin infection. Try and plan time in the day when baby is sleeping to have a shower and wash hair. And maybe schedule a shit.

Make shopping list for dinner. Go to post office to express post book to publishers. Poo urge returns, but in Post Office. Consider, but deny evacuation.

Realise you’re in your pyjamas. Doesn’t matter, go to coffee shop to order takeaway decaf and receive compliment from kindly barista ‘You look corporate today’. Really, in my PJs? (Thank god for Mullumbimby where even matching pyjamas mean you’re overdressed.)

Struggle home pushing pram with shopping and toddler who insists on being carried. Lug baby, shopping, mail and pram up 14 stairs. Put on slow cooker for dinner. Try get baby to sleep.

Give up and commit to PJs as the day’s attire.

Finish painting.

Shit, the kids! Pick up kids. Take one to ballet, one to soccer practice. Sit in the car with the baby waiting. Third and final return of desire to defecate. No toilets. Consider going behind tree at soccer field. Race home. Poo urge gone.

Get washing off line. Check homework. Check headlice. Find headlice. Remove headlice.

Realise you’ve forgotten to pick child up from dance. Drive 40 minutes. Return with Angelina Ballerina and screaming overtired hungry baby.

Serve dinner. Receive complaints and reminders about social expectations for the weekend, ie sleepovers, cash requests, and permission to attend large rural unsupervised parties…

Try to process information, get parent phone numbers, make phone calls while clearing and washing up and tending to baby in bath.

Deal with screaming teenager destroying the furniture when party request is refused at the same time you managed to get the baby to sleep who is now awake again.

Supervise children bathing, do one more load in the laundry with the torch in the dark so they have uniforms for tomorrow. Put kids to bed. Finish daily chores, check school bags for notes and rotting bananas. Look at clock.

10pm. Go check emails. Make new updated list of unachievable tasks for tomorrow. Top of list: Do Poo. So, find some stillness in that! Now that would wipe that smug smirk of self-satisfied serenity and stillness off anyone’s bean. Stillness is for dead people.

Opening the evening will be Suavemente,, a four piece Latin-tinged outfit from Larnook, featuring ex Light Activation guitarists David Sykes (organic lead) and Rich Bell (nylon), Shannon River (bass) and the sultry, understated vocals of Andrea Quinn. Meaning ‘softly’ in Spanish, Suavemente make music for the post-peak paradigm. They sing of the tantra of nature and the eternal dance between the yin and the yang, underpinned by some truly lovely chords. Uki Anglican Church Saturday.

not been performed in America until 1931 and then in England in 1936. The most famous movement from the composition is undoubtedly the soprano aria Pie Jesu. In all, the music is serene, elevating and comforting. The performance by the combined choir of 140 voices will be one not to be missed.

All Saints’ Anglican Church, with its fine acoustics and facilities including a spacious sanctuary and seating for 400 people, will host the district’s only performance by one of the largest choirs to assemble in the district. The venue is in Murwillumbah, the gig is on Sunday.

Now an Australian resident (he has an Australian wife; some have accused him of social climbing but he disputes that).

Hugely in demand in the UK and Europe Jeff ’s standup comedy background is nothing short of impressive: A solo West-End season and three full-length UK TV comedy specials – Jeff Green Live (ITV), Jeff Green – Up West (ITV), and Jeff Green Comedy Store Special (Channel 5).

Jeff also writes a monthly column for The Reader’s Digest.

Jeff is a well-known UK radio star with three BBC Radio 2 comedy series of The Green Guide to Life. The show attracts audience averages of over three million radio listeners. His next UK TV appearances will be in the hit reality show Celebrity Masterchef and as a guest on Comedy Roadshow (both BBC1).

The Tweed Shire Echo June 2, 2011 15

The Lucky Wonders were so happy with their 2010 single release Anyway that they submitted the song to the of the world’s most prestigious songwriting contest, the International Songwriting Competition 2010 (ISC). The winners were announced in April 2011; Anyway had made it to the semifinals. The judges including Regina Spektor, Tom Waits, and Ben Harper to name a few, are a gathering of esteemed performers to impress, so was an especially sweet triumph for The Lucky Wonders, given that the song itself is a tribute/pep-talk-to-self to the musician’s journey.

‘I’m blown away that Anyway appealed to some of the judges on the panel,’ says songwriter Emma Royle. ‘The judges would have all been through this insane, risky, wonderful trip at some stage.’

The ISC attracted 15,000 entrants from around the world, a deep river to wade into. What makes someone do that? ‘Entering highlevel competitions like this one means your work is heard by people at the top of your field,’ says Emma. ‘That kind of exposure is always valuable and you never know where it may lead.’

The Lucky Wonders joined Grand Prize Winner Kasey Chambers, Washington, Paul Dempsey and The Basement Birds in a proud group of Australian semifinalists. ‘To have recognition like this only two years into The Lucky Wonders’ life is confirmation that we’re on the right track,’ says Emma. ‘Jessie and I have always had songwriting as our biggest passion. We see it as our strongest aspect and hope to still be doing it when we’re 100 years old. Imagine the material I’ll have to write about then!’

Giving up a career as an awardwinning carpenter and selling her flat to independently fund The Lucky Wonders, songwriter Emma Royle needed a little

encouragement as the band were setting off on their debut national tour last year, a mammoth effort of 40 dates in 13 weeks. Anyway pokes a bit of fun at the idea of being too attached to the securities and comforts you can have if you don’t bother chasing your dreams.

Later this month The Lucky Wonders will open for Pete Murray in his first local show in three years, before they head off to the Top End to start their third national tour on July 1. With a new single I’ll Be Fine due out soon, they’ll be touring the rest of the country throughout the year.

The Lucky Wonders are putting on a special family-friendly show at Fingal Head’s Studio 44 Artspace this Sunday from 1pm. With their warm, quirky appeal and ukelele peppered alt pop/folk/ roots music, the Byron-based foursome were listed in ‘2010’s Top 3 Gigs and Top 10 Albums’ in Rhythms Magazine’s Writer’s Poll, another notch on the belt of a band who formed only two years ago. Entry is $10, kids free. 44 Fingal Rd Fingal Head, 1pm. For more info visit www.theluckywonders.com.

Four and will be putting on an unusually good show this weekend. The power is set to be off, but with the help of generators and candles it will be an unplugged show. Featuring Robbie on double bass, Brenden Drinkwater on drums and our favourite, Scrubby Pete on the guitar. Jimmy Dowling is opening the show with his warm and dark country and sea shanties. Sunday afternoon at the Uki Hotel.

Mohamed Camara Mohamed Camara is a djembe soloist for Guinean drum and dance ensembles Ballet Destin, Ballet Bolonta and internationally renowned ensemble Les Sorciers de Guinée. Mohamed has studied and performed with many of the world’s great master drummers including Ton Ton Sylla and Fadouba Oularé. Mohamed is a valuable resource for the traditional music of Guinea, with his extensive repertoire of rhythms and songs. His passion for music, captivating playing style and connection with audiences and students alike has made him a highly respected musician in both Australia and Guinea.

Joined by his wife Anna Camara on bellafon, Mohamed and Anna’s extensive understanding of Guinean music and culture and knowledge and experience of both Western and Guinean percussion traditions ensures their performance at the Sheoak Shack on Sunday is sure to be a deep and inspiring cultural experiLOWRIDER ence.

ARIES: If assertive opinions, yours or someone else’s, provoke eruptive responses, take a few deep breaths and ask yourself what your strong reactions are saying about you. Don’t take the low road this week in your thoughts, speech or behaviour towards those who hold different views.

TAURUS: With Mercury, Venus, Mars and new moon in Taurus you’re probably feeling like a makeover, something new or a bit of recreational spending in the cathedrals of retail. That done, start organising your finances and resources in readiness for Jupiter’s imminent move to Taurus town.

doesn’t mean you’ll have it, does mean you’ll need it during Thursday’s annual Gemini new moon when conditions apply: specifically the D words discretion, discrimination and due diligence.

CANCER: Yes, you have to deal with power pushes this week, but so do we all. And you’re better equipped than most to sidestep out of the firing line and plan your next move, because there are still ample opportunities available for a shrewd operator like yourself.

LEO: Head on isn’t the best way to address intolerant or confrontational others right now so reserve judgment, even though you mightn’t feel like it, because only the tip of this week’s iceberg is visible and there’s a lot of undisclosed information not yet available.

VIRGO: It’s time to ask questions, do research and educate yourself on the difference between propaganda and propaghandi, the social network term for uplifting, if occasionally misquoted, information. None of which in any way interferes with the variety of down to earth delights this week offers you Mercurians…

LIBRA: If you’re in two minds about something (a state familiar to Librans) well, current instability levels aren’t making decisions easy for anyone. With incoming information constantly changing you need strong BS filters, especially this week when even well-meant advice could prove misguided, misleading or incorrect.

SCORPIO: You always thought too much was just enough? This blockbuster week of anxiety-producing news may test that

belief. While life might be semi-sorted in your slice of paradise, spare a thought for those less fortunate this week and assist where you can.

SAGITTARIUS: Pause a moment before assuming anything or jumping to conclusions this week, Sagittarians.

And stop giving yourself a pain in the brain trying to figure out other peoples’ inconsistencies and contradictions. Just accept them as entertaining patterns in life’s rich tapestry and grist for your inner comedian.

CAPRICORN: This week suggests reexamining your attitudes and beliefs in the light of current conditions. Deciding which still apply but need makeovers.

Which are enduringly beneficial. And which need ditching. Because being a

Capricorn means capable of manifesting what you want and enjoying what you get.

AQUARIUS: Like Aquarian Thomas Edison inventing the light bulb, this week demonstrates what works by showing you what doesn’t, by giving you a look at who and what you don’t want to become.

If any kind of contraction is happening, remember that those who give get given to.

PISCES: This week interesting inconsistencies between what you say and how you behave could show up for your examination, education and personal growth. It’s also easy to get sidetracked by stimulating tangents that go nowhere, so find practical ways to apply new insights to everyday life and interactions.

CHESS

by Ian Rogers Play at Seagulls Club, Thurs 6-10pm By defeating Alexander Grischuk in the Candidates final in Kazan and qualifying to challenge Viswanathan Anand for the World Championship title, Gelfand has hit a career high.

In the 1990s Gelfand had qualified for Candidates matches but never made it past the semi-finals.

Now the Belarus-born Israeli is to play for the world title.

Gelfand certainly benefited from the fall of the cards during these Candidates matches. He outplayed inexperienced Azeri GM Shakhriyar Mamedyarov in the quarter-finals, edged out Gata Kamsky of the US – the man who eliminated Veselin Topalov – in a tight semi-final and then beat Russia’s Grischuk – conqueror of favourites Levon Aronian and Vladimir Kramnik – in the Candidates final.

Almost equally importantly, many of Gelfand’s games had a new energy, with more ambition, more risks and, inevitably, more mistakes from both sides.

In three of the first five games against Grischuk he was in seri-

ous trouble but hung on to draw.

When the final was tied at 2.52.5 with one game to play, and seemingly inevitably headed for rapid tiebreakers, Gelfand picked his moment to play, as Grischuk said, ‘an absolutely great game’.

Kazan 2011 White: B Gelfand Black: A Grischuk Opening: Neo-Grunfeld Defence 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nf3 Bg7 4.g3 d5 5.cxd5 Nxd5 6.Bg2 Nb6 7.Nc3 Nc6 8.e3 0-0 9.0-0 Re8 10.Re1 a5!? The latest trend in this line, though hardly fearsome for White. 11.Qe2 Bg4 12.h3 Be6 13.b3! The first new move. White seems to be justifying Black’s pawn advance but in reality is restraining many pieces. 13... a4 14.Rb1 axb3 15.axb3 Qc8 16.Kh2 Ra5!?

An hour behind on the clock, Grischuk speculates on a lightning kingside assault. 17.Rd1 Rh5 18.Nh4! Bf6 19.f4!! ‘This idea didn’t even cross my mind,’ admitted Grischuk. ‘I can have an extra pawn, a better pawn structure and his white squares are weak, but then I realised [because of the coming pawn avalanche] I was just completely lost!’ 19...Rd8 19...Bxh4 20.gxh4 Rxh4 21.Kg3! Rh5 22.d5 is terrible for Black. 20.Qf2 Bxh4 21.gxh4 Nd5 22.Nxd5 Rhxd5! 23.Bb2 Rb5?! The final error 23... f5 was necessary, although after 24.h5! White takes over the attack. 24.Qe2! Rh5 25.e4!

Again caring little about material – White’s central pawns simply roll to victory. 25...Bxb3 26.Rdc1! Na5 27.d5 b6 28.Be5 c5 29.dxc6 f6 30.Ba1 Rc5 31.Rxc5 bxc5 32.Qb5! Qc7 33.Rxb3 Nxc6 34.e5 Nd4 35.Qc4+ 1-0

Munchy crunch oysters

GC Sun’s first at home Like all cats, they leave their mark, which Geelong did with a 66 point win over the Gold Coast Suns at the first home match on Saturday night.

Metricon Stadium came to life with great fanfare of fireworks and on field entertainment and the roar of 21,485 fans attending the game waving the Suns’ flag.

Gold Coast shocked the football world and certainly Geelong with its six goals to three first quarter onslaught.

The Suns’ structures and defensive looked as disciplined as most of the frontline teams in the competition and their pace on the ground made the Cats look, dare we say it, slow and old.

The domination started in the middle where rising Suns’ star Zac Smith controlled the ruck and Ablett did for his new club what he has been doing for Geelong for years, clocking up double-figure possessions in just 30 minutes of footy.

The trend continued in the second quarter and, by halftime the unthinkable was on the cards with the Suns still leading by 11 points. Karmichael-Hunt kicked his first AFL goal to mark the home ground match with cheer

Fishing is a funny sport. Last week in a yak comp up at Budd’s Beach I failed to catch a fish, let alone get a bite. Talk about a turnaround. Saturday I fished with three rods, opportunist style, just taking advantage of what I floated by on the yak. I had a surface lure for the Tweed banks that had a foot or so of water over them.

This was the rig that did the damage. I couldn’t believe it.

Five legal bream around 28cms (the biggest 30cm to the fork) and on the Tweed. If I had been able to do this last weekend I would have come in around third place in that comp.

The Goldy is supposed to be the place to catch bream.

The Tweed on the other hand is known as a tough bream arena; sure, you get plenty of fish but nothing like the size of the horses you catch up at Crab Island for example.

These Tweed River bream

aren’t silly. Imagine if you were a bream. Oysters? Yes! So there’s the hint where to catch the biggest yellowtails. Fishing the racks is a challenge, as your reflexes and casting prowess have to be spot on. One spot I call the ‘Crunch’ I paddle by most weekends and I can hear the bream crunching on the oysters. They will take your lure but be daring and put your lure in the danger zone.

Welcome back Mojo.

What a great place to be.

from all the Suns fans, but the rest of the game is now history as the Cats would not be skun and they fought back.

An eight-goal flogging in the third quarter saw Geelong almost unbeatable and a goal free fourth saw the Suns set.

Still an exciting match to wet the head of Metricon and the fans were happy. The final tally was Geelong 21.13 (1390, Gold Coast 10.13 (73).

Fans will see the Suns at home on be Saturday June 11 against North Melbourne.

Two women, two separate accidents on the one mountain in the one day: that’s what we call a cluster of similar events. In its weekly summary, the Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter service said it was tasked to two rescues on Mt Warning last Sunday: one in the late morning for a female suffering head and facial injuries and the other in the afternoon for a female with a leg injury. Both were winched up to the chopper and airlifted to Tweed Heads Hospital where they were reported to be in a stable condition. Backburner asked the rescue service if this was unusual and we were told that ‘since the National Parks and Wildlife Service built four winch platforms at various points along Mt Warning a few years ago, we have been receiving more taskings to the area. These platforms make it a lot easier for us to hover much closer to the mountain and more safely during the winching of a patient and rescue crew’.

Reminds us of the film Field of Dreams and its famous line: ‘If you build it they will come’.

During the Joint Regional Planning Panel hearing last week on the Cobaki township’s proposed first 916 homes, Leda Developments’ project manager Reg van Rij took the opportunity to single out The Echo in a swipe against ‘emotional’ reporting in the press. He read out excerpts of an Echo editorial headed ‘Killing the koala’ to try and prove his point, saying within three days following that editorial, 26 public submissions were lodged against the project, of the 29 in total received. Mr van Rij acknowledged there were concerns over the project, with some holding them ‘gravely’, but said that generally there was wide community support for it. He also claimed that it was ‘much the same’ faces appearing at the second hearing, which Backburner thinks is a little unfair given it’s always the one same developer (his boss

billionaire Bob Ell) proposing huge developments – it was noted at the hearing that the Cobaki developer was responsible for around 75 per cent of all housing development currently approved in the shire. It reminds us of when a local environmental activist was described by a developer of being a ‘serial’ protester and he retorted that his accuser was ‘a serial developer’.

Lock the Gate Alliance president Drew Hutton addressed hundreds of people who gathered at Byron Bay beach last Sunday to form a human sign against coal-seam gas (CSG) mining.

Around 6,000 people protested against CSG mining at three separate actions last weekend, including the human sign at Byron, a similar sign protest at Austinmer Beach in the Illawarra, and a gathering at Casino’s Beef Week festival parade. Last week the NSW government introduced a 60-day moratorium on new coal, petroleum and coal-seam gas exploration licences following weeks of protests in NSW and Queensland, but the NSW Greens are pushing to extend it to 12 months, while others want a complete ban on the industry.

This week the International Energy Agency reported that the planet has already hit the annual carbon output of 32 gigatonnes that had been forecast for 2020.

The 32 gigatonne/2020 limit was the benchmark for holding the planet at two degrees warming over the remainder of the century. Now our children and grandchildren will have to try to survive even wilder changes to the climate. But did that get reported in the Murdoch press?

No, instead there was apoplectic rage that actor Cate Blanchett should front a privately-funded pro-carbon tax campaign. Who are these crazy-ugly people who have taken over News Limited?

Rupert Murdoch himself is not a climate change denier; in fact he has spent millions making his organisation carbon neutral.

No wonder businessman Dick Smith has publicly called for Rupert to come back to Australia and take the running of his newspapers back from the lunatic fringe.
