Industrial estate push upsets Clrs Steve Spencer
Bloomin’ marvellous orchids Story and photo Albert Elzinga
For the last 10 years, Tweed Heads retiree Peter Howell (pictured) has devoted his time to the art of growing orchids. In most subjects, a decade of experience would make someone an expert, however, in the orchid-growing business, Peter is still a novice. His relatively junior status hasn’t stopped him from producing some beautiful specimens and on September 1, 2 and 3, Peter and his fellow Tweed District Orchid Society members will display the fruits of their labour at the society’s annual Spring Show at the Jessie McMillan Hall in Murwillumbah. The 70 society members will show the best examples of varieties such as Dendobrium, Cattleya and Saga Doll and the most outstanding efforts will receive the coveted title of ‘champion’. Peter said the growers competed in Division 1 or Novice and judges awarded points for shape, colour and overall health of the plants. The most difficult issue faced by most growers was the impact bugs
such as ants, slugs and snails had on the plants. Eliminating the damage insects did to his specimens was an ongoing battle, he said. Show coordinator Maureen Styman said examples of the spring flowering variety Dendrobium Speciosum would be the highlight of the show while the customary potting demon-
strations always attracted plenty of attention. A range of orchids will be on sale while members will offer advice on how to care for the plants and explain which varieties suit local conditions. The show opens from 8am until 5pm next Thursday and Friday and from 8am until 2.30pm on the Saturday.
Echo launches online daily David Lovejoy
Well, it’s here! After the best part of six months’ preparation Echonetdaily hit the region’s inboxes this week. Produced by a new editorial team who are also tapping the resources of the long-established Byron and Tweed Echo newspapers, the online title uses innovative technology to present a daily package of local, national and world news. Add entertainment coverage, upto-date weather and surf reports, video clips, photo galleries, etc and there’s a snapshot every morning of life and events in the Northern Rivers.
Echonetdaily editor Chris Dobney has been working in digital journalism for over a decade, and has spent the last four years as online entertainment editor for the Sydney Morning Herald. Now living in Binna Burra, Chris says, ‘Nowhere is the spirit of the region reflected better than in the pages of The Echo. I’m glad to be on board and helping it extend its reach across the region.’ Assisting Chris with the audiovisual aspects of the new project is local film-maker Sharon Shostak.

HUTCHISONS
A push to create an industrial estate near Pottsville has been given the tick of approval by Tweed Shire Council despite a controversial history of unauthorised clearing and the near destruction of a registered sacred Aboriginal scar tree which was set alight. One councillor said she was ‘ashamed’ and another ‘embarrassed’ by the decision to approve the developer’s preferred option for the site, which includes massive earthworks near the Pacific Highway embankment on the corner with Cudgera Creek Road. Greens Cr Katie Milne this week called for a NSW Planning Department investigation into the decision and the Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) has concerns that earthworks will endanger the stability of the highway embankment. She said the RTA also had concerns about the visual impact from the highway and the capacity of the Cudgera Creek intersection to cope with the extra traffic. ‘The RTA has highlighted significant concerns. I find it quite embarrassing that Option 5 [the developer’s preferred plan] is being adopted contrary to staff advice,’ Cr Milne said at this month’s council meeting. Cr Dot Holdom agreed, saying she was ‘ashamed’ councillors were pushing the developer’s option against the recommendation of council officers and other options which offered better outcomes. ‘Good planning was thrown out the window. It all went belly-up.’ Cr Holdom said she was also concerned about the near destruction of the historical scar tree and
the unauthorised clearing. Deputy mayor Barry Longland also voted against giving council approval to the project, but mayor Kevin Skinner and Crs Warren Polglase, Phil Youngblutt and Joan van Lieshout supported the development. It is now up to the planning department to decided whether to give final approval to the light industry estate, which has yet to be fully designed. Cr Polglase told the meeting the shire needed ‘good employment-generating land’ and that ‘any good council would push ahead for planning for the future to keep up with the shire’s population growth’.
Earmarked for growth The 23-hectare development site, in Kudgeree Avenue, just west of Pottsville, was earmarked in 2006 as a future growth area by the planning department’s Far North Coast Regional Strategy. A decision not to prosecute over the unauthorised clearing was made by the NSW Department of Environment, after council staff inspected the site and compiled a report. Earlier this year the department said it had issued an official caution to the landowner Rhonda Tagget for damage to the scar tree while unauthorised land clearing was being carried out. And in a forceful letter to the council the department’s Aboriginal heritage section manager Richard Bath said the council had been far too slow in reporting the destruction. ‘The council were aware of the alleged breach six months before it was reported to the department,’ he said. ‘And the National Parks and continued on page 2

Shelby Gilbert, 14, crowned the Banana Festival’s junior princess in 2005, was quite happy for her older sister to take the 2011 Teen Queen honours because it was her last year as a queen candidate. ‘I was hoping for Laura to win, she’s been in the quest for 13 years, and I’ve been in it for ten years,’ Shelby said. Laura, 17, who was crowned senior princess in 2006, has successfully juggled the demands of studying for her Higher School Certificate examinations and this year’s festival. ‘It’s fun but hard at the same time,’ she said. The Murwillumbah girls have a long connection to the festival and banana growing in the Tweed. Their father Kevin has grown bananas at Chillingham for years and their late grandfather Stuart won the first ever King Banana title when the festival started in 1956. Former Murwillumbah High School student Jessica Knight was crowned this year’s Banana Festival Queen after the grand parade through Murwillumbah last Saturday. The first-year Southern Cross University student, from Nunderi, who aspires to be a teacher, was sponsored in the quest by Murwillumbah’s IGA supermarket and will now attend functions as an ambassador for the Tweed. Organising committee president Chris Chrisostomos said Jessica and other candidates in the Queen quest alone raised $13,000 for local charities, which was very pleasing.

ildlife Act provided a statute W of limitations for Aboriginal cultural heritage matters of two years from the date of the incident. ‘The six-month delay in reporting inhibited the department’s ability to investigate and prosecute within the remaining timeframe. As you are aware the notification period from the time of the offence is crucial in order to gain fresh evidence in the case.’ The failure to report the burning quickly led to the introduction of a staff legal training program. Councillors have been told a legally binding agreement with the landowner is currently being drafted to ensure the restoration, revegetation, planting, maintenance and protection of vegetation. The Aboriginal scar tree survived the blaze, but only just. The scar tree incident first came to light in July 2009 dur-

Govt hiding on dam review: MP The O’Farrell government has steadfastly blocked a Greens motion in the NSW Upper House calling for the public release of all documents regarding the review of the Tweed Water Sharing Plan. Greens NSW MP John Kaye said primary industries minister Katrina Hodgkinson was refusing to come clean on the details of her government’s review of the prohibition on the dam at Byrrill Creek. ‘The cover up is yet another slap in the face to the rigorous scientific studies and commu-

ing a council inspection of the development site. It was found that the canopy of trees that covered 70 per cent of the site had been reduced to 10 to 20 per cent of the site. An ecologist and council compliance officer said in a report that on arrival at the site they saw a number of burning log piles. The ecologist said one of the burning piles had been placed against a live brush box tree which was recognised as having ‘Aboriginal heritage value’. ‘This tree had caught alight and the heartwood appeared substantially damaged and burning internally, such that the death of the tree is likely.’ The report said the area was part of a regional fauna corridor and koala habitat which was covered by a council tree preservation order imposed in 2004, requiring council permission for the removal of trees.

nity participation that underpinned the original water-sharing plan that prohibited the dam,’ Dr Kaye said. ‘The minister admitted to reviewing the plan only after the local member Thomas George talked up the dam in the local media. Since then the government has repeatedly shut down attempts by the Greens to uncover the truth about the review. ‘The Tweed community has the right to know what behindclosed-doors deals have been cut. They are being denied that
opportunity by a government that purports to be open and accountable. The only reasonable conclusion is that the government has something to hide. ‘The Greens call on minister Hodgkinson to come clean on her secret agenda for Byrrill Creek dam. She should stop blocking our motion to release all of the documents,’ he said. On Tuesday, the Greens’ motion was blocked by the coalition, preventing the House from debating it.

Tweed’s young pianist plays through to final four Luis Feliu
Sixteen-year-old Tweed pianist Ayesha Gough (pictured) has made it through to the final round in the prestigious Lev Vlassenko Piano Competition being held in Brisbane, after a week of elimination heats. Ayesha has competed against 23 other virtuosos and now she’s firmly in the running for the major cash prize of $20,000 at the finale concert this Saturday night, August 27, at Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC). She is the youngest of the four finalists, who will all be conducted for the final judging by maestro Edvard Tchivzhel as they perform a concerto be-
fore an international jury. Ayesha will play Mozart’s Concerto No. 21 K467 in C major. A spokesperson for the competition said the elite foursome of young emerging pianists will
each battle it out in a demanding repertoire of international standards while playing completely from memory. A performer at last year’s Tyalgum Festival of Classical
Music, Ayesha will participate in a master class with the competition’s artistic director Natasha Vlassenko at the festival on Saturday, September 3, at 11am. Natasha said the competition ‘demands so much from each finalist; this is live performance under very close scrutiny, no new technology to assist, no “apps” to download, no shortcuts, no edits, no restarts. It’s just the musician, the keyboard, and the determination and will to excel’. The competition, in which pianists aged between 16 and 30 compete for more than $50,000 in prizes, is held every two years. Photo Jeff Dawson
Cudgen land push by Nats under fire Steve Spencer
A NSW Upper House MP has likened National Party figures behind a renewed push to rezone prime farming land at Cudgen for a police station to characters from the Aussie hit movie, Muriel’s Wedding. Walt Secord, who keeps a watching brief on the Tweed electorate for Labor, invoked the image when he criticised a second attempt to build a police station on state-significant agricultural land owned by a company whose directors include former Tweed National Party MP, Don Beck. The 1994 film starring Bill Hunter parodies the controversy surrounding a former Tweed council and its former deputy mayor Tom Hogan, a Labor powerbroker who was found to have acted corruptly by the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC). Secord, a former Rudd spin doctor and Kenneally chief-ofstaff, told last week’s Sun Herald any decision over the future of the land should be taken out of the hands of the National Party’s Tweed membership and made by an independent body. He said the decision maker should have ‘no connection with the Tweed Nationals’.
‘These are the people who inspired [the Aussie hit movie] Muriel’s Wedding and they’re back with a vengeance,’ said Mr Secord. His comments follow calls by Tweed National Party MP Geoff Provest to relocate the Kingscliff police station from its beachside location to a slice of a 39ha parcel owned by the Kingscliff Land Company (KLC).
present beachside location. Mr Provest and the councillors have also pitted themselves against the police force, police union, Kingscliff and Cudgen resident groups who prefer the Kingscliff site for the proposed new police command centre. In a statement released to The Echo yesterday, the police minister said the Kingscliff site ‘has the support of the NSW gov-
‘These are the people who inspired Muriel’s Wedding and they’re back with a vengeance.’ He also backed a recent deputation involving National Party heavyweight and Tweed councillor Warren Polglase and mayor Kevin Skinner to meet with the police minister to push for the Cudgen location. Mr Provest’s support comes after he initially opposed the Cudgen cop shop plans, telling Parliament when the police first tried to build at Cudgen they wasted thousands of dollars pursuing a doomed application and telling The Echo he thought the land should be retained for farming. And it is in contrast to the views of his police minister, Mike Gallacher, who recently stated that the force wanted to redevelop the station at its
ernment, the NSW Police Force and the Police Association’. The police force recently lodged a development application (DA) for the $8 million station, which is likely to be determined by the state-appointed Joint Regional Planning Panel. The NSW Police Association’s regional spokesman, Tony King, said ‘any change now’ to the Kingscliff DA plan would mean ‘unacceptable delays’ in construction of the ‘badly needed’ station. The KLC bought the Cudgen site for $4.5 million in a deal with Coles Myer in 2004, from former Tweed Mayor Lynne Beck and her sisters, with the promise of a further $5 million if it could be rezoned for
hundreds of houses and a retail centre within five years. A rezoning bid failed when the council was sacked in disgrace the following year and a second rezoning bid by Cr Polglase for a similar development after being re-elected in 2008 failed after the NSW Labor government ruled it out of order. Last year the government also rejected a bid by the police to rezone part of the land for a new HQ because of the land’s unique agricultural status. Kingscliff ’s business chamber head Idwall Richards, a leading figure in the local National Party, has also entered the debate, saying using the beachfront site for the police headquarters was ‘a waste of prime real estate’ and a ‘band-aid solution’. Mr Richards claimed the ‘shovel-ready’ site at Cudgen for a combined emergency services centre had wide support including most police and Tweed Shire Council. A rezoning would go against the Tweed Council’s Local Environment Plan which prohibits subdivisions of less than 10ha, never mind creating a 1.5 hectare allotment from the 39 hectare block. Mr Provest did not return calls and Mr Beck could not be reached.

Northern Rivers Family Day Care
Harvie Krumpet, Wallace, Grommit and the chooks from the movie Chicken Run have one thing in common; they’re all made out of clay. The use of ‘mud’ in a process called Claymatics brought Australian filmmaker Adam Elliot an Oscar for his short film featuring the adventures of Harvie Krumpet. Recently, 21 gifted and talented students from the Tweed Learning Community (Tweed River High and its feeder primary schools – Banora Point, Bilambil, Carool, Tweed Heads and Tweed Heads South) met at Kingscliff TAFE to follow in Adam’s footsteps and recreate their schools’ histories in short films using the same technique. The students researched their local areas, developed scripts, designed characters and filmed the resulting storylines with the help of course developer, artist and TAFE teacher Mark Richards and multimedia TAFE teacher and artist Bala McLay. Course coordinator Peter Halloran said the course consisted of four workshops during which students were taught about concept design and application.

Residents fear extra house lots in Area E Steve Spencer
As the deadline nears for submissions on the Area E housing development, Terranora’s only community group has urged all residents to send their thoughts to the Tweed Shire Council, whether they support the plan or not. Submissions close tomorrow (Friday, August 26) but council says it will accept late submissions. Friends of Terranora president Greg Burgis said his group was ‘generally happy’ with the density of the project, but any attempt to create more house lots could ‘easily tip it over capacity’. ‘We decided not to call a public meeting because we generally support what the council planners have put forward, which hopefully will stop the density from increasing through successful attempts in the Land and Environment Court by developers,’ said Mr Burgis, who has lived at Terranora since the early 1980s. ‘We would be very concerned if there were any extra lots created, because the access roads won’t be able to cope.’ Known as Area E, the 296-hectare project is bound-
ed by Mahers Lane, Terranora Road, Fraser Drive and the Terranora Broadwater, and will eventually house 4000 people in 1800 homes. Mr Burgis said he was not happy with the reduction in size of some lots, down to 333 square metres, but did not see it as ‘the big issue’.
Minimal parkland He said they were happy with the location of parks, close to the higher-density housing, but disappointed the total amount of parkland was close to the minimum allowed. Mr Burgis said other concerns include: ▶Excessive cutting and filling and use of concrete foundation blocks, with most lots not suitable for simple slabon-the-ground construction. They do not favour pole homes because of their visual impact. ▶Keeping earthworks to a minimum because only the top 300mm of soil is fertile. Soil removal would require gardens to be fertilised, causing even more pollution in the broadwater. ▶Height limits in the village centre at four storeys and the quality of construction materi-
als to be used there. Plans allow for cheaper materials like fibro rather than brick and tile, which would need less maintenance; creating fears the village would begin to look shabby sooner rather than later. ▶A possibility a major supermarket will be allowed in the village centre because too much commercial floorspace has been set aside. ▶The exact route of the Broadwater Parkway access road. They suggested both ends of the parkway, where it travels up the hill, should be three lanes and divided. ▶ The system of stormwater treatment ponds will not be robust enough to cope with large flood events. ▶Rehabilitation of the wetland near the broadwater. Cleared with bulldozers in the early 80s, the area alongside the lake is lower than it was, creating an even more intense mosquito breeding ground. They believe it should be rehabilitated but because it is privately owned this could prove difficult for council to enforce. ▶Lack of a site earmarked for a primary school. Other schools in the area are full. ▶Tree preservation, especially alongside the new roads.

The Tweed’s rainforest-filled and biodiverse caldera is a step closer to being declared a Biosphere Reserve after Tweed Shire councillors voted unanimously to support the nomination. Greens Cr Katie Milne, who campaigned for council backing to have the caldera listed by the United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO), thanked
<echowebsection=Local News>
her fellow councillors for their support during last week’s council meeting. ‘There will be a great benefit to the shire to get international recognition,’ she told her fellow councillors. The Caldera Environment Centre (CEC) initiated the campaign for the UNESCO nomination eight years ago. If nominated, the Tweed caldera, including Mt Warning, would join the ranks of iconic natural wonders including
Uluru, the Zambezi and the Rocky Mountains. The nomination would still need the federal government’s endorsement before it could be considered by UNESCO. The Border Ranges National Park straddles the NSWQueensland border and is home to many rare and threatened species. CEC says that in Australia the region is second only to the Kimberley in terms of its biodiversity. www.tweedecho.com.au

Wakeboard school seeks approval Luis Feliu
The owner of a wakeboard coaching school, which locals claim has operated unauthorised in the Tweed River around Fingal Head for several years, is seeking official approval to use a stretch of the river for the watersport. The school has also denied any involvement with those responsible for building an illegal wakeboarding ramp in a protected fish-breeding lagoon at Fingal Head over a year ago, but only recently discovered by authorities. Fingal Head residents say both issues raise questions and undermine their confidence in authorities monitoring illegal activities or protecting the river. ProWake Academy owner/ operator and head coach John Henson recently lodged a development application (DA) to Tweed Shire Council to run coaching clinics between Fingal Head and Chinderah, with submissions closing yesterday, August 24, but locals also say any decision on the DA should be postponed till a vital study on boat and wake impact on
the river by the Snowy Mountains Engineering Corporation is completed and taken into consideration. Mr Henson emphasises in his DA that his company had nothing to do with the illegal structure. ‘We would like to make it clear that we are not part of the group that built the structure in the lagoon in Fingal Heads. This group is two professional wakeboarders that live in the US six months each year. We have not promoted them or their activity on our website and we certainly do not encourage this sort of behaviour,’ he says.
Effort to comply ‘We are making great efforts to comply with council guidelines and also not to provoke the Fingal Head residents by using the Fingal boat ramp on our social outings. We have been operating on the Tweed River for five years without any incident with waterway users and residents and we would love for the next 10 years to be the same.’ However, locals have pointed
out that the two professional wakeboard riders in question, Chris O’Shea and Brenton Priestly, are promoted as team riders on current websites by wakeboard companies with past links to Mr Henson. But Mr Henson told The Echo he knew the pair as professional wakeboard riders through the tight-knit industry, but that was as far as it went. A friend of Mr Henson also contacted The Echo to say Mr Henson was a dedicated coach ‘at the top of the game’ who knew the two, as all top-level riders do in the sport, but had never had an employment relationship with the two riders. When asked why the school had operated unauthorised from the Tweed River for around five years, the woman said ‘yes, but five years is a long time for Tweed Council not to let him know it’s not legal’. A residents’ spokesperson said, ‘One of our community’s big concerns is council’s lack of ability to enforce compliance to any restrictions to this type of activity. ‘If an illegal ramp can go unnoticed by Tweed Shire
Council and NSW Maritime in a state-protected wetland for over one year – and when the perpetrators are discovered and admit to the vandalism, and absolutely no action is taken against them – and the operator claims it’s been operating on the Tweed River without a DA for over five years without being caught, then what hope is there for monitoring of this type of activity with or without a DA?’ the spokesperson said.
Council DA approach In an email to The Echo, Mr Henson said he had been working with council ‘since they approached me about the DA’. ‘I am happy to be working with the council to ensure the ProWake School is operated in accordance with its requirements and I am glad to have had this need brought to my attention in order to enable me to do so. ‘It upsets me that by virtue of sharing a profile in the sport of wakeboarding I have been implicated in activities executed by those unrelated to me or my business that have recently concerned residents,’ he said.

This is to say thank you to the many Dutch Australian residents of the Tweed Shire who responded so enthusiastically to my invitation to participate in my research project on the contribution of the Dutch to the Tweed community.
The first round of my call for expressions of interest has now closed but there will be another round early in the new year and all other DutchAustralian residents of the Shire who arrived in Australia as children are invited to contact me then.
Since the appearance in this paper of the advertisement on July 7, and the article on July 21, nearly thirty residents of Dutch origin have been in touch with me. These respondents constitute 10% of the Dutch-born population of the Shire. Not all arrived as children and they could therefore not join as participants. However, they have all agreed to contribute to the research in other ways.
There is no doubt that the Dutch have contributed much to the Tweed community. How and in what ways they have done so is the focus of the research project which is scheduled to be completed in 2014.
Twelve residents of Dutch origin have agreed to participate in this

Lunch raises effective aid for refugees Sakura Dance Group members Junko Thomson, front, of Runaway Bay, and Fumiko Hiyamoto, of Coomera, entertain guests at the Bamboo restaurant charity luncheon at Casuarina last Friday. The luncheon in the restaurant at the Grand Mercure resort (formerly Santai) was attended by around 60 guests and raised around $1,000 for Effective Aid International, run by Gold Coast couple Ian and Judy Aitchison, who have worked in refugee camps along the Burmese-Thailand border for nine years. The organisation recently celebrated graduation ceremonies at various locations in Thailand including a school with 450 students at the remote Maela Oon refugee camp. Photo Luis Feliu

Storm of fear rolls on, ten years later
Volume 3 #50
August 25, 2011
Spruiking gloom The pro-development faction on Tweed Council appears to be fearmongering on the state of the local economy in their relentless push to fast-track a rezoning bid for a major developer’s aim of expanding the Tweed City shopping centre. Both mayor Kevin Skinner and Cr Warren Polglase have been crying doom and gloom because shire planners won’t speed up the rezoning push, with the councillors claiming any delay would hurt the economy as the project would create jobs. They even had the gall to say that if councillors didn’t approve it, they may as well put up a sign to say the shire is closed for business. Then just this week, major hardware wholesaler/retailer Bunnings announced it was closing down its two-year-old trade centre in Murwillumbah, with the mayor quoted as saying the closure was another blow to the economy and was more proof of how badly tradespeople in the Tweed were hurting. He even went on to ABC local radio to repeat the message. But Bunnings said it was simply restructuring the trade centre and relocating it to their stores within the much busier areas of the Gold Coast and northern NSW. In the very same week, Bunnings announced it wanted to buy the iconic Big Prawn site in Ballina and turn it into a mega-superstore with a $30 million investment, proof that business knows the big growth is mostly along the coastal corridor and not in the backblocks of Murwillumbah, well away from the Pacific Highway. It was the same pro-development motive which pushed, against the wishes of locals, for the rezoning and sale of council land to make way for the estate in a rural valley a little further out from the existing industrial precinct. At the time, they said it would create hundreds of jobs for locals, produce real economic growth for the Tweed and even put Murwillumbah ‘on the map’. Opponents of the rezoning had questioned the location for such an estate. Some suspected it was really all about making millions for a developer, who then onsold it to another for a tidy profit. As all developers know, rezoning public land is where the big profits are to be made, and they can then onsell it and forget about what happens to it later. The lesson here is beware of the doomsayers, as they may have other agendas in mind.

L
ast week Australia celebrated a grim anniversary, and no, we’re not talking about Julia Gillard’s no longer operative promise not to introduce a carbon tax. After all it would be hard to find a single day of the year which has been consistently free of pollies’ porkies. No story there. But it was in August 2001 that the Norwegian freighter Tampa arrived in Australian waters with its cargo of rescued asylum seekers, provoking the storm of fear, loathing and xenophobia which carried John Howard to his dark victory in the election that followed. According to the polling at the time, some 76 per cent of Australians approved of his brutal escalation of what was, in any normal context, an unimportant incident; voters leaving the polling booths made comments like: ‘I voted for Johnny because he knows how to handle the towel heads.’ The Labor Party was comprehensively spooked: Kim Beazley quietly deplored Howard’s extremism, but was eventually carried away by the populist tsunami. And so, with just a few ups and downs, it has been for the last ten years. To his credit Kevin Rudd tried to end the absurdly named Pacific solution, and Labor continues to reject the use of temporary rejection visas, the devices of psychological torture which prevented even fully accredited refugees from attaining the security and rights accorded to other Australians. But apart from that, we are back more or less where we started: Malaysia has been substituted for Nauru and Manus Island is to be re-opened. In a decade our politicians have learned nothing and forgotten nothing; at least it took the Bourbons the best part of a
century to be lauded for such tenacity. And, like the Bourbons, our leaders are apparently lagging significantly behind the public. A poll taken last week found that slightly more than half the voters would now like to see asylum seekers processed within Australia, with the rest more or less equally divided between those who would rather retain off-shore processing and those who just want to
It is time to lift the shadow of the Tampa and for Australia to show a modicum of compassion and commonsense. by Mungo MacCallum send the bastards home. It’s hardly an overwhelming result but it does suggest that attitudes have become both more humane and more rational than either Julia Gillard or Tony Abbott are prepared to acknowledge. Abbott, of course, is happy to use any issue to hand to beat on the government, and is unconcerned about the collateral damage. But it should give Gillard and her responsible minister, Chris Evans, a few seconds of doubt. Their current policy is, by any measure, a fiasco. It has alienated the left while failing to assuage the right. It represents yet another backflip, but has not solved the ongoing political problem. It is hideously expensive and shows every sign of becoming more so with the apparently open-ended commitment to the governments of Malaysia and Papua-New Guinea. It is hugely damaging to the mental and physical health of the asylum seekers and a blot on Australia’s international reputation.

Thomson? Well, probably not much. For the government, he represents a continuing embarrassment, but hardly the existential threat for which the more excitable commentators are baying. Apart from death and resignation, the only ways Thomson can be forced out of parliament and precipitate the longed-for by-election are by becoming bankrupt or by being convicted of a criminal offence. The Labor party, through a timely donation of $90,000 or $150,000 or whatever it was, has already prevented the first and will presumably continue to do so. And as for the second – well, no charges have yet been laid and it appears unlikely that they will be. The accusations centre around the alleged misuse of a Health Services Union credit card. The first problem is that the union itself has made no official complaint to the police or to anyone else, and without its active co-operation it would be hard to build a case;
and of course Thomson has strenuously denied any wrongdoing on his part. And before any prosecution was launched, the case would have to be rock-solid, unlosable; because the consequences either way would be incalculable. It would take a very courageous bureaucrat to go to court over a relatively minor fraud with a brief which, if it succeeded, would in all probability bring down the federal government. Godwin Gretch, of course, was ready to do so, and was even prepared to fabricate the evidence. But fortunately there are not many Godwin Gretches left in today’s public service. On the revelations to date, Craig Thomson is not exactly an ornament to the parliament; indeed, he may well be a thorough-going sleazebag. But that has never been a disqualification from high office, which is just as well. If it were, we’d be facing a by-election every second week. And I cannot end this piece without a mention of the tragic death of Paul Lockyer and his ABC colleagues. Lockyer was a fine reporter, a great bloke and a personal friend. I first met him some forty years ago and in all that time have never heard any of his colleagues say a bad word about him – a solid enough tribute in itself. He was that rare being, a journalist who could make the rest of us feel proud of our craft. And he never took himself too seriously. An epitaph from W H Auden seems appropriate: As the poets have mournfully sung Death takes in the innocent young; The screamingly funny Those rolling in money And even the very well hung. Vale, mate.

Erosion history
I write to thank Angus Gordon for his timely and illuminating letter re coastal erosion (August 18). I also appeal to Mr Gordon to make available his copy of Bogangar Beach Coastal Engineering Advice to Tweed Shire Council, Tweed Coastal Holiday Park Reserves Trust and the NSW Lands & Property Management Authority. This document has not, to my knowledge, been mentioned in any of the published considerations in regard to the caravan park development at South Cabarita Beach. Perhaps Mr Gordon is correct in his assumption that both TSC and the NSW government have ‘lost’ their copies. In view of the scarily correct predictions re erosion at both Belongil and Kingscliff beaches, made in related studies by Mr Gordon and his associates, the

It is a sad day and blight on our nation that people like Sydney shock jock Alan Jones are given any credibility.

He believes Julia Gillard is desperate to hold the position, but not as desperate as Tony, who will be lucky to be holding the position of Liberal leader come election time in two years. The Labor party would not like Tony to get the old heaveho, as he is their greatest asset. There will be a position vacant in Libya shortly and he may stand a chance there, as the people there must be a bit crackers to put up with Moammar Gadaffi for about 40 years.

Mr Jones’s first try to blame the police before turning his anger on the Sky journalist who informed him of his mistake and subsequent mulish use of a lie for the sole purpose of inciting the mob to react – echoes of the Cronulla riots, Mr Jones.

I don’t know where the Honorable Andrew Wilkie got his statistics from but I believe that there is less than one per cent of gamblers who are considered a problem. There are millions who play the pokies for fun, like I do. Whilst I have sympathy for them, I do not see how the restricting of access to pokies will change their problem, nor understand why only a part of gambling is considered, ie why not restrict other forms such as horse racing and online gambling? We average ‘suckers’ enjoy our pokies – leave us alone
and his repeated failure to admit that he is in the pocket of Tony Abbott and his fellow Tea Party want-to-bes demeans the quality of Australian media and the quality of Australian journalism. His coverage of the protests in Canberra this week, where he has deliberately turned on members of his audience and the media when they pointed out his lies, is just the most recent example of the poor quality of his contribution to Australian public life. Jones, like Abbott, will do or say anything to promote hiscause. If he is allowed to continue being a broadcaster then he should have to put at the beginning of anything he says ‘This is an unpaid advertisement for the Liberal Party.’

One of Australia’s most dedicated road dogs, five-time ARIA Award-nominated Ash Grunwald, is making a documentary about life on the road. Ash spends his life driving along the white line delivering packages of aural delight to towns and cities around the world. If he is not at the end of his guitar bashing out a tune, you will most likely find him out the back of the closest surf break. This month Ash has been merging his two great loves with a travelling festival of music and art. He is leaving his home in the north of the Byron Shire to travel with a crew of surfers, musos and filmmakers from Adelaide heading inland and coastal to their final destination in Cairns. The Echo caught up with Grunwald at a stopover at Pacific Palms near Newcastle when he visited Australian surfing legend Matt ‘Hoyo’ Hoy. What was the motivation to take a film crew along with you on the road? I just wanted to document the things that happen on tour – the way I have organised my life is to have as much fun as possible. I thought it would be interesting to record the touring lifestyle that we do. It is a hell of a lot of gigs and miles. We travelled Byron to Adelaide via Mildura for the first gigs. We’ve already filmed the Great Ocean Road. We have been running out of petrol driving through snow at nine o’clock at night. We’ve had a guy abusing us. There is a lot of interesting things that happen every day when you travel. They are worth documenting. Stefan Jose from SAE is doing the filming. I met him at the last minute; he has been great. We’re really happy with the YouTube clips. Has it been more exhausting not just focusing on getting from one gig to the next but also finding waves or is that how you tour anyway? Well normally I do exactly the same thing anyway without the sense of pressure, just the sense of stoke – it’s my naughty little thing. The only difference with the film crew is that now we are also trying to get the shot – plus trying to fit in the interviews. Like Mark Richards. I bought a board

Fans of Grunwald already know him as a regular soundtrack to Australian soap dramas and sports broadcasts and from the recent longplay appearance of his single Walking in a pivotal scene in Limitless, but what fans don’t know is that the artist’s Hollywood portfolio is about to expand. The track The Bottle from 2008’s Two Fish will soon be heard behind Ben Stiller, Eddy Murphy, and Alan Alda in Tower Heist and the hit Breakout from the same album will accompany Brad Pitt across the silver screen later this year. Footage of the film from the Road Dog Diaries Tour will be released later this year. Punters are in for the usual fare of top-shelf Grunwald with a few tasty treats thrown in for good measure locally this week. You can catch Ash and the Road Dog Diaries Tour in Byron Bay at a free gig at the Beach Hotel on Thursday and on Friday at the Coolangatta Hotel.

off MR – it was sick! He told us all these stories then I bought one of his boards. He signed it and I was so stoked like a frothing groupie. Stuff like that is fulfilling and now I am with Matt Hoy! It is a pleasure to do work like this. It would just be the grand swindle to make films and be so literal. Getting paid for every facet of your life. What has been more time consuming: finding the surf and snow or playing music? Playing music – it’s always all about he gigs. I employed extra tech guys in preparation for this. Also The Grains who are on tour with us have been really great helping to load in. There has grown a lot of camaraderie between the entire tour group. It means I can go with Stef then I arrive back at sound check and everything is set up. This is a lot easier than when I first started. What have been the musical and surfing highlights so far? The gigs in Melbourne and Adelaide were sold out and over-the-top amazing. Meeting MR was a highlight; so is hanging out with Hoyo – he’s impressive. It’s been great sharing the stage with the Grains and (Byron Shire neighbour) Kram. What are you looking forward to at the gig at the Coolangatta Hotel? I am really looking forward to the Coolangatta gig. Cooly is where the idea first came about. Benny, who is the percussionist, decided to put on a surf night and the rest grew from there. I’ll also probably try to get a surf in at ‘Snappers’ and ‘D’bah’. Having a film crew obviously makes the entourage a lot larger. How has it been travelling with so many more people? We’ve all travelled fine. It’s funny, I’ve had so many extremes. I have spent so long traveling by myself. I used to set up every gig by myself. As every extra body comes on board it gets easier. I am fortunate to be in that position. Have you seen much of the footage? Every day we have a look. There is some really funny stuff. I have never seen myself shot in such quality; it makes you feel pretty cool to see something you have organised looking so good. I think Stef will go a long way as will this concept. I’d like to do it more often. At the least the Road Dog Diaries

Soap Box Mandy Nolan
upside-down yoga I have a terrible confession. I’m not a yoga fan. Yoga makes me feel agitated, which is kind of counterproductive because it’s supposed to be relaxing. I’ll be halfway through a pose and I’ll suddenly realise that I’m not wearing the right outfit. It’s hard to get spiritual in a Kmart tracksuit. It’s even harder to let go when during the entire class you’re consumed with envy, watching long slim bendy legs go behind ears. Legs not in polyester like mine, but bathed in pastel and beige, with stretch cotton wraps made from sand and recycled egg shells. It’s so natural, so truly good, it makes me feel like having a cigarette. Right in the middle of a pose. While everyone’s cracking a Half Moon or a Cow Face, I’ll be blowing smoke rings out my base chakra. They do serene; I do obscene. I seem too big and boisterous for yoga. Yoga is quiet and deep while I’m loud and shallow. Yoga is the only exercise that can claim to be part of a spiritual practice. (Oh, except football.) No-one’s experienced enlightenment in an aerobics class (unless the lycra g-string cuts too high during a lunge). There’s no higher self in jazz-ercise, zumba or pump class. Just a sweaty pig who’s let herself go. In my opinion, yoga just takes itself too seriously. All that breathing from the bunda makes me nervous, especially when I’ve been in a class, forgotten and accidentally breathed out my bunda instead of in. The funny thing about yoga is that while it’s incredibly right on, it’s still a victim of fashion. While the philosophy remains the same – that mind, body and spirit are all one and cannot be clearly separated. (Although I’m not sure that’s entirely true. If my body were in the same shape as my mind, I’d be strutting around with the body of Elle McPherson. Instead I’m getting around looking more like Magda.) While built on traditions, yoga can be a tad

faddy. The Bikram craze had me gasping. You’ve got to be kidding; a room full of sweaty benders with only a crystal rock for protection. Imagine the BO! But is Bikram actually environmentally unsound? Should we be heating a room? In the future we won’t be needing to heat the room to 40 degrees; in a few years from now, thanks to global warming, just the act of bending to put the washing out will become a form of hot yoga, providing you peg on the exhalation. One would think that we’d seen every yoga fusion possible (Laughter Yoga, our locally created Yogalates… although my yoga, Chardyoga, didn’t take off. That’s where you perform yoga after two bottles of a dry white.) Well, my yoga nuts, prepare yourselves, there’s a brand new yoga taking the US by storm: upside-down yoga. Yep. It’s called AntiGravity Yoga and it’s performed in a bloody hammock! Personally I can’t even manage to sit in a hammock let alone crack a yoga pose. While still a university student I once tried to have sex in a hammock and ended up with a nasty gash. Upside-down Yoga! I reckon the guy was pissed, fell in a hammock and his wife has posted a few of his drunken poses on Facebook. Next thing you know half of America are hanging out just like him. Doing Yoga upside-down changes everything: down face dog becomes upface dog; salute to the sun… salute to the sewer? And the child pose? Well that becomes too bloody dangerous for words. I can’t wait to see the classes, with health and safety regulations; this may be the only yoga where you need to wear a helmet! And if I were to be pedantic, it’s not antigravity. It’s silly upsidey-downey yoga. Real anti-gravity yoga can only take place in outer space. Moon Yoga.

Avoid risking your health when you renovate New paints and finishes are a large part of any renovation, whether it be on walls, floors, furniture or decks. The choice you make could mean a healthy new living space or an unhealthy living space (i.e. sick building syndrome). There are modern paints and wood finishes available now that do not offgas into your room, and at the same time are healthier for our environment. These are called low-VOC paints and wood finishes and can be synthetic or natural. Natural finishes are, on the whole, not quite as durable as synthetic but can be even more healthier and create a beautiful look and feel.

ARIES: If you’re having trouble reaching agreement as Aries Diana Ross sings this week’s background track Where Did Our Love Go?, ask yourself if you’re being realistic or are your desires clashing with present realities? Answer honestly, then when Mercury moves forward on Friday, so will you. TAURUS: The irritating Mercury retrograde glitches of recent weeks fade into oblivion when late week’s earthy influences restore that firm-foundation feeling so necessary to Tauran wellbeing, launching a sort of personal renaissance which tints your perspective with a much rosier view of the future.

More good news is that Mercury’s forward move helps you filter out drag-down influences and replace them with more positive, nourishing input.

by the end of this week you’ll have figured out exactly how best to reinvent yourself. Again. VIRGO: Move over Leos, it’s Virgo’s turn in the limelight! So soak up the flattering glow of Virgo Sun and Venus on your elegantly earthy personality before boss planet Mercury’s forward move shifts you from the passenger seat to your rightful place behind this week’s steering wheel… LIBRA: Your leading lady Venus in Virgo is a picky mistress who won’t sweep unpalatable realities under the rug. Charm is less important than being genuine this week, so repair anything that may have gone astray in your relationship to your own integrity and authenticity. SCORPIO: Scorpios are naturally attracted to the road less traveled, but why make things
harder when they’re already pretty punishing? You’re a water sign, so consider how liquid takes the path of least resistance and follow its lead to smooth the sharper edges of this week’s prickly interactions. SAGITTARIUS: It takes zero talent to be complex and complicated, but few besides Sagittarians can manage the opposite. If others are demanding, with urgent needs that infringe or impinge on this week, summon up one of your personal astropowers: straightforwardness. With tact and consideration, naturally. CAPRICORN: This disappointing week for personal and professional connections could activate your cynical Saturnian side which views the glass bone-dry with no refills in sight. Don’t go
there. Or if you can’t help going there, don’t linger. Change your focus and help is all around you. AQUARIUS: Aquarians can doggedly maintain an idea (or ideal) for eons, but once they decide something’s holding them back no-one moves faster. If that happens this week, remember we’re all still dependent on everything and everyone, on things we aren’t even aware of and may never know anything about. PISCES: The enemy of vagueness and procrastination, this week’s about structure, form, boundaries, plan management, productive action, practical applications and service. It’s for making an honest inventory of what you have to offer and assessing which particular outdated ideas need to hit the out tray.

Tennis coach is a winner The Murwillumbah Tennis Club recently held its annual Club Championships boasting the strongest field in decades with 16 competitors in the men’s draw. Three of the top four seeds qualified for the semifinals with the upset of the day coming when Tony Wayte defeated defending champion and former club coach Peter Ohl in their group match. Wayte went on to play David Gair in the first semifinal with Gair winning their match to advance to the Final against newly appointed head coach Brandon Rowe who defeated last year’s runner up Ashley Welch. Attracting an enthusiastic crowd and rain delaying play with the match on serve at 5–6 it was anyone’s game, but Rowe found his rhythm quicker than Gair in the damp conditions, finishing the match with some quick serves, fine touch at the

I only have one week off this year so with the weather being so good of late I thought now is the time and I’m going to make the most of it. Saturday morning Craig Costigan took me out on his boat and we had fun fishing the Terranora Broadwater area. We left while still dark and with the tide being so low a lot of time was spent pushing and pulling the boat off sand banks, particularly bad on the Seagulls run where we found every bank. I’d look at Coz – I didn’t really know what to say as I had never seen the tide so low and me being Coza’s guide, it was a bit embarrassing. We eventually made it to the oyster lease. Both of us were very cold and keen to get into the fish. We caught bream and flathead but the wind and rain made it hard going. While we were fishing I mentioned to Craig I had the coming week off. He looked at me with a sad understanding smile and said, ‘Dave, you couldn’t have picked a worse week’. Has this wild wind and rain put me off? Yes and no. Sunday I looked at all the white caps out on the broadwater and thought ‘no way’, but, if I could get through that rough water there are some great pro-

tected spots on the other side. Anyway I sat crying into my beer. Monday the same thing, probably a bit worse. Then the thought occurred to me to give the new hobie a really tough test as it was rough, very rough! I put on all my heavy gear and light rods and proceeded down to the launch spot looking like a robot because of all the gear on me. Then spaceman Dave spots the mud: oh boy here, we go again. I couldn’t take any of my numerous coats off because of the foul weather so decided to use my new mud-walking technique, which is to walk very, very softly, lightly, you know what I mean? I went great for
a bit then it was back to the Tarzan quicksand drama. I made it out and the yak sliced through the water like a yacht. I rode with the wind and tide, surfing the waves. I couldn’t believe it! The big rudder and fins made the trip so stable it was a lot of fun. What made it all the better was I caught three legal lizards and the trip back against these big waves was very, very cool, oh and very, very wet. On the way I watched a crab cooker boat full of tourists pick up ten or so crab pots. I saw that there were about two or three monster crabs alive in each of the pots. I wondered if they put them in beforehand. Hmmmm?

Zephyr
Zephyr is a mixed breed (some Sharpei,) 7 month old, desexed male dog. He is very energetic, loves people and loves playing with other dogs. He is very responsive to commands and his foster carer has been giving him lots of training. Zephyr would suit a companion who can give him plenty of time and attention but is too boisterous for a family with very young children. Just recently, Zephyr behaved perfectly as a blood donor for another dog requiring a blood transfusion. If you would like to meet Zephyr phone Yolana on 0449 049136 or visit:

‘Education is a companion which no misfortune can depress, no crime can destroy, no enemy can alienate, no despotism can enslave.

Shake off the winter blues and sell Online Australian real estate agent, www.forsaleforlease. com.au, is urging all potential vendors to shake off the winter blues and follow some easy strategies to get their properties ready for the spring-selling onslaught. According to Michael Atwell, founder of ForSaleForLease.com.au, spring is usually the most optimum time to sell a home as the largest numbers of buyers are actively searching for a new home between September and November. Vendors come out in full
force in the spring season, eager to tempt enthusiastic buyers, who have held back during the colder months. With the lacklustre winter real estate season nearly over, sellers may easily improve their chances in selling their house more effectively by simply outshining the flood of listings that appear in the springtime market: Spring clean, literally. Tidy and de-clutter your home is the number one priority. As obvious as this tip is, a spotless, fresh-looking house is much more attractive than
presenting a house filled with month-old newspapers, dusty benches and dirty windows. Make your property look its best. If you can’t do it yourself, hire a cleaner for half a day. Clean floors, windows and mirrors – Make all these shine and twinkle. Have flowers arranged throughout the room – get buyers excited about spring by showcasing the season inside your home. Clean up outside and create street appeal. This includes mowing the lawn, raking leaves, cutting back bushes, removing
cobwebs and check if outside any furniture. Hire furniture if a selling point, so keep pets lights are working. Take qual- need be. Pets are a no-no.

Backburner A hearty pat on the back to organisers and volunteers of this year’s Banana Festival which, despite the vagaries of the industry, just keeps on rolling along. Through the generosity and volunteering spirit of those involved, including the queen quest candidates, the festival raises tens of thousands of dollars for needy charities every year and gives Murwillumbah some sorely needed community spirit. This year’s Festival Queen winner Jessica Knight told ABC Radio that as an ambassador for the Tweed over the next year she would attend various functions such as Beef Week in Casino. But when asked if the Beef Week Queen reciprocated the visit, Jessica said no, but hoped she could in the future. Come to think of it, they should all attend the Tweed festival to promote the whole region: Beef, Banana and Jacaranda Queens.

Banana Festival veteran, former deputy prime minister Doug Anthony (his late brother Bob was a founder of the event 56 years ago), presented the King and Queen Banana prizes to growers of the fruit last Friday and told media he’d never seen the industry look so prosperous. With the fruit fetching $15 a kilo due to the shortage after the recent Queensland cyclone, it’s no wonder. But local grower Kevin Gilbert told Backburner that there were fewer and fewer growers in the Tweed Valley, with the ups and downs of the industry forcing many out. Kevin said growers had to get at least $3 a kilo to break even ‘so we’re losing money 90 per cent of the time and the good times only cover what you’ve lost’. Kevin said that when his late father Stuart won the King Banana title at the inaugural festival, he scored a trip to Sydney for two, which was no small in change those days. By comparison, this year’s winner of the title, Eungella brothers Andy and Will Everest, each won $100 cash. ■ ■ ■ ■
The Tweed Shire Echo has gone viral worldwide, we’d like to think, after the launch this week of our Echonetdaily online news service (see page 1). But hard copies of the hard-hitting weekly are still sought after and read everywhere around the globe, as Michael Di Costanzo and his daughter Indigo, 13, from Brunswick Heads, pointed out after their recent rail adventure through Europe, including Rome where they did a lap of the historic Colosseum on an open-top tourist bus.
Hastings Point residents are gearing up for the next round in the drawn-out battle against the developer pushing for a controversial subdivision in Creek Street, with the Lot 156 plan about to go on public exhibition once again. Locals say some changes have been made to the old plan, such as turning the banked road along the creek into a bridge, and getting rid of a safe pedestrian crossing across the Coast Road (for the elderly and blind residents and their guide dogs). Locals are being urged to lodge their objections, especially with fears – as one local put it – that the developer is trying to ‘grab council and private land to expand the Coast Road to put in a turn-in lane’. ■ ■ ■ ■
Cabarita locals say a colourful chappie wearing a Cudgen Hornets jacket and Titans cap, armed with a clipboard and pen, entered a cafe in their village the other day and after greeting them, said he was a local councillor wanting to know if they were for or against the caravan park (referring to the controversial push for a new
caravan park on beachfront land in the village). One of the latte-sipping patrons recognised him as the shire’s mayor Kevin Skinner and the mayor was also seen at a local vet’s and the pub that day. It’s kind of grassroots campaigning, but his survey won’t count for anything (like all those phone calls he gets favouring the dam, etc, etc). The one survey which does count closes tomorrow, Friday, and it’s being conducted by the residents’ association, so your opinions on this one are valued: visit www.cabaritabeach.org. ■ ■ ■ ■
State Labor’s new spokesman for Tweed issues, NSW MLC Walt Secord, seems to be relishing his new role of pollie instead of apparatchik by getting stuck into Tweed MP Geoff Provest and his National Party colleagues on council over the controversial push by the Nats to relocate the Kingscliff police station (see story on page 2). Former mayor, veteran Nats councillor Warren Polglase, and current mayor Kevin Skinner have also pushed for the relocation, which entails rezoning the prime agricultural land at
Cudgen. The Nats of course like to point out that Mr Secord is a former staffer for Labor bigwigs like Bob Carr and Morris Iemma. But the 46-year-old Canadian-born former journalist, who was raised and educated on a Native Indian American reserve, could prove to be a thorn in the Nats’ side for a while yet. ■ ■ ■ ■
Lau Guerreiro of Murwillumbah heartily agrees with the modest proposal from John Mitchell in our letters last week that cannibalism is the only solution to overpopulation problems. He says we should hold a referendum on whether human-induced climate change is real. Everybody’s vote will be recorded and made public, so if the future is disastrous we will know exactly who to blame. Then when things really fall apart, and cannibalism is acknowledged as the only viable solution, well… you can guess who’ll be the first called upon to make the ultimate sacrifice. Yep, the climate-change deniers! (Although those bastards are likely to be as tough and bitter as old boots.)
