Flood fears prompt a last-ditch stand Steve Spencer

Jazz workshop inspires youngsters Albert Elzinga

Students from four primary schools in the Tweed joined jazz trumpet legend John Hoffman for a music workshop at Murwillumbah’s Civic Centre last Friday. Highlight of the morning was a collaboration between Mr Hoffman’s band and young saxophone player, Murwillumbah Primary School student Tully Anderson, who recently played with the Junior State Concert Band at the Opera House in Sydney. The workshop was the latest edition of an initiative sponsored by the Tweed Valley Jazz Club which started some 15 years ago with the aim of inspiring and encouraging

budding young musicians. A mix of professional musicians and students from the Brisbane Conservatorium of Music and Griffith University enthralled the around 300 sixth-grade students with their renditions of some surprisingly recognisable jazz music. Mr Hoffman and his band managed to achieve the near impossible and held the kids’ attention for close to three hours.

Infectious love for music His infectious love for his music and skills as a lecturer at the Brisbane Conservatorium of Music and at Griffith University won over even the most tone-deaf of students and turned the civic centre into one big sound studio. The kids were singing, humming and drumming along to the band

and showed an enthusiasm normally reserved for video games and television. The event finished with a question-and-answer session fielded by drummer Warren Whitaker who entertained the kids with his sense of humour and his affection for his instrument. If inspiration and encouragement were the goals of this workshop, Mr Hoffman and the Tweed Valley Jazz Club can rest assured: on their way out, many of the students talked about taking up playing an instrument. Mr Whitaker’s passionate talk about his drums may result in numerous neighbours suffering the sounds of kids rehearsing in the garage, but may also have inspired the next Ringo Starr to take up his favourite instrument.

Hastings Point residents have sent out a last-ditch appeal for locals to speak out against a proposed controversial creekside housing estate which is feared could cause major flooding to a large part of the small seaside village. Residents and town planners have warned homes along Creek Street would be inundated by floodwaters held up by almost four metres of fill on which the developer plans to build 45 homes on the site near the creek estuary. The proprosal for the development known as Lot 156 Creek Street, which has been mired in controversy and stirred locals up for years, is now being assessed by the state government and the deadline for public submissions closed earlier this week. But the NSW Planning Department has allowed Tweed Council an extension so councillors can listen to residents’ concerns at the community access meeting next Thursday, September 15. Hastings Point Progress Association has urged as many residents as possible to attend the meeting. The association warns that if the project wins NSW government approval, nearly four metres of fill will be dumped on Lot 156, stopping water from escaping directly into Christies Creek and flooding homes along Creek Street. Association secretary Julie Boyd said residents had been given little time to write submissions to the NSW Department of Planning, with some discovering they had just over a week to organise their objections to the new estate. Developers want to lay 3.9 metres of fill and build 45 houses on around

a third of the 28-hectare site, which runs along Christies Creek near where it meets Cudgera Creek. Ms Boyd said there was little doubt the raising of the floodplain would create a damming effect which would prevent floodwaters escaping from properties along Creek Street. She said some of those most at risk where elderly residents living in the retirement section of the North Star Holiday Village. ‘It’s called Creek Street because when it rains it become like a creek,’ said Ms Boyd, who has lived in the village for 10 years.

‘Creating a dam’ ‘Putting nearly four metres of fill on the land is basically creating a dam. That will push water in all directions and endanger homes. ‘Even minor rain events can have a big effect in the area. Groundwater under Hastings Point is very close to the surface.’ Ms Boyd said a site-specific flood study needed to be done to show potential flood heights caused by the raising of the floodplain. She said the town’s stormwater drains regularly flood with saltwater during king tides. She also criticised NSW Planning for making it ‘as difficult as possible’ for residents to file submissions, with many getting just 10 days’ notice. She the department’s complicated emailing process did not help. Tweed Shire planners share some of the Progress Association’s concerns about flooding and potential environmental damage. The shire’s chief planner Vince Connell said council had successfully sought an extension of time for its submissions to the department, after

initially only receiving two weeks’ notice. ‘The council is not supportive of the current proposal. We still have significant concerns,’ said Mr Connell. Mayor Kevin Skinner said he was extremely concerned about potential flooding along Creek Street. ‘Water doesn’t run uphill, this proposal is right next to a massive caravan park that has not been filled to any great height, there is a danger of increasing flood depths there and along Creek Street,’ he said. Past and present owners of

the prime creekside location have been involved in a longrunning war with residents who have been complaining about unauthorised works and vegetation removal during the past 20 years. The most recent owner of the property, developer Walter Elliott, kept animosities simmering after he strung up a barbed-wire fence around the property shortly after acquiring it in 2000. Mr Elliott claimed it was to confine dogs belonging to the live-in caretaker, Athol Youngblutt, brother of Tweed coun-

cillor Phil Youngblutt, but residents said it cut off their access to the creek and posed an injury threat to wildlife. The council last year gave retrospective approval for the fence, even though planners acknowledged that part of it was erected without consent in an environment protection zone filled with mangroves and saltmarsh plants. However, council ordered staff to issue a $3,000 fine for the unauthorised fence, adding to another $3,000 penalty the council issued a week earlier after a small army of workers began slashing and spraying vegetation in an environmental zone adjoining a local creek. Solicitor and Hastings Point Progress Association spokesman John O’Reilly previously told The Echo the long-running saga began with previous owner Nev Wintour more than 20 years ago. Mr Wintour used bulldozers and a dredge to expand the site to its present size by altering the course of Christies Creek before police were forced to physically remove him from a dredge after he ignored orders to desist. Mr O’Reilly said alterations to the natural landscape in the 80s and 90s had been horrific and involved in-filling a section of creek as part of a huge land theft which had aggravated flooding in that part of the estuary, nearby homes and a popular caravan park. He said problems have continued since WEH acquired the site and strung up the fence, and later began mowing down pro-

tected wetland, salt marsh and mangroves. The company, which argued in court it was clearing groundsell, was found to have cleared an area of protected bushland without authority and was ordered to restore it by planting new vegetation. Residents say council later issued the company with an order to desist in the alleged clearing of an area of protected melaleuca forest, but no legal action was taken and the site, which is flooded at high tide, is now earmarked for houses.

Shock approval Tempers flared again last year when residents tried to stop the developer carting thousands of tonnes of fill onto the site following the shock approval of the new house. The residents won a minor victory when council staff ordered the developer to remove most of the fill from the metrehigh access road after agreeing that it would create a dam effect and a potential flood risk. The approval of the house was given by council staff, said to be unaware that the site was the subject of a development application which has now been in the hands of the NSW Planning Department after the minister usurped planning controls from the council. Tweed Council’s community access begins at 4.30pm on Thursday, September 15. For more information see the Progress Association’s website www.savehastingspoint.com. ■ See Editorial, page 6

Police minister has veto over station Steve Spencer & Ken Sapwell

New planning minister Brad Hazzard will have the last say about the location of a new police headquarters for the Tweed-Byron region despite a council thumbs-down to police plans to put it on the Kingscliff beachfront. The government’s Joint Regional Planning Panel (JRPP) will consider the council’s concerns that the site does not provide enough on-site car parking and is too small for the building’s size at a public hearing this Monday, September 12, at 5pm, at the Tweed Heads Civic Centre auditorium. But council’s chief planner Vince Connell says the JRPP must refer their decision to the minister, giving reasons if they reject plans for the redevelopment of the existing police station or to seek his approval if they intend to impose any conditions. The council’s objections follow a mayoral minute put into the May council agenda at the last minute condemning the site, which currently houses

‘Any change now would mean unacceptable delays’ – police spokesman the Kingscliff police station, as too restrictive and offering to help the police find ‘a greenfield site’ elsewhere. Mayor Kevin Skinner’s minute also enlisted the help of Tweed MP Geoff Provest, who became the target of political jibes when he openly championed the purchase of prime agricultural land at Cudgen with links to a former National Party MP, Don Beck.

Cudgen not endorsed In his 25-page report to the JRPP, Mr Connell did not endorse submissions favouring Cudgen, but stated that because the new station was to be a 24-hour operation policing the Tweed-Byron region it needed to be closer to the Pacific Highway. The report says it would be an overdevelopment of the site ‘out of scale’ with other buildings in the northern part of Kingscliff. Parking is also a major issue with a shortfall of 25 parking spots. Planners

have also questioned its suitability as a command centre being several kilometres from the Pacific Highway and surrounded by residential buildings. The five-member panel, comprising three NSW government and two Tweed council appointees, is not necessarily the final arbiter, as the legislation setting up the panels provides for the police minister to step in. Last June, Mr Hazzard intervened when a planning panel was set to deal with a contentious plan for a new police station in the inner Sydney suburb of Leichhardt. Residents and the council had objected to the proposal for a three-storey 24-hour police station on a Crown land heritage site between a high school, a residential area and a park. Residents’ fears included noise from sirens, traffic congestion and safety. The minister directed the panel not to make a deter-

mination, but the project has still not been approved due to parking issues. The 1970s-era Kingscliff cop shop was originally built to house just a handful of officers. Tweed Shire councillors recently voted to pursue a combined emergency services site somewhere else in the shire. That led to a push to set up a combined emergency services precinct just outside Cudgen, but both the council and Tweed MP Geoff Provest have now backed away from pursuing the Cudgen location.

Keen on present site Police minister Mike Gallacher recently stated that the force wanted to redevelop the station at its present beachside location. The police department recently lodged a development application (DA) for the $8 million station. 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. ■ See Editorial, page 6

Tyalgum festival a treat for elated music fans

Organisers of the 20th annual Tyalgum Festival of Classical Music last weekend have hailed it as the best ever, drawing hundreds of people to its performances and activities. Festival co-ordinator Alex Wilkinson said the classical program at Tyalgum Hall was seen as the best in its 20-year history and the Spring Fair and Music Carnivale had ‘brought hundreds of people to Tyalgum School from surrounding village communities, as well as visitors from everywhere.’ ‘What an amazing weekend we had in Tyalgum,’ said Mr Wilkinson. ‘Even though we’re all physically exhausted after the event, the complete feeling of elation Dancer Sylvia Arroyo and musicians Shenton Gregory and Gerard Mapstone, from Dalecana for the success of the event is Flamenco Company, fire up the crowd at last weekend’s Tyalgum Festival of Classical Music. overwhelming.’ Photo Vibrant Imaging

Tweed residents last Sunday were given one of their best chances to raise issues with their local councillors during an inaugural ‘chat’ session at Tweed Heads markets. Locals were invited to tell their elected representatives which issues were foremost on their mind. Mayor Kevin Skinner was joined by Crs Dot Holdom, Joan van Lieshout and Warren Polglase as they welcomed around 30 interested locals to council’s stall at the PCYC building and patiently listened to their complaints, compliments, rants and reviews of councillors’ efforts over the last three years. Tweed Shire Council’s community engagement officer Scott Green said the inaugural Councillors Community Catch-up was a response to a community request for increased access to the councillors and would take place at regular intervals. Mr Green said residents were given the opportunity to talk face-to-face with councillors about any council-related topic they wished to raise. Cr Holdom said locals asked about graffiti, policing and Jack Evans Boat Harbour

renovations while Cr Polglase was asked about the state of the shire’s roads and especially about Kennedy Drive and the work planned to bring the surface of one of Tweed’s busiest roads up to scratch. Cr Polglase said residents of Banora Point came forward and asked if they could ‘beautify’ the streets they lived in with residents volunteering to plant trees and generally

adorn their area. He told them about council’s tree donation scheme which offers residents a number of native trees free of charge. Cr Joan van Lieshout said people approached her about ‘roads, rates and rubbish’. Water meters and the impact water charges had on people’s budgets also rated a mention. Mayor Skinner said council had engaged the community

over several issues at various locations but felt markets offered council the best opportunity to connect with the public. ‘Markets work, people are relaxing and have the time to have a chat’, Cr Skinner said. The next opportunity for residents to have a talk with councillors will be on November 13 when local politicians will attend the Chillingham markets.

Council defends estate design Steve Spencer

Council planners have defended their design of the controversial Area E housing project at Terranora, rejecting a claim there had been a major increase in the number of lots since the initial blueprint for the massive development was created in 2004. Plans to build nearly 1,800 three-storey homes on hillsides overlooking Terranora Broadwater had been on public display until last week, but council is accepting late submissions. The Area E project is a 296-hectare project bounded by Mahers Lane, Terranora Road, Fraser Drive and the Terranora Broadwater, set to eventually house 4,000 new shire residents. It was once prime agricultural land, famed for its tomatoes, but was earmarked for housing two decades ago and rezoned by the NSW government in 2007. ‘There has been a lot of thought and analysis on the Area E site that has occurred since the very preliminary draft development control plan created in 2005,’ said council’s planning director Vince Connell. Mr Connell said the destiny of the project had changed little since the first NSW government-endorsed blueprint in

2004 (1793 lots) and the current design (1799 lots). And he said despite its frequent mention in the media, a design created in 2005 had little influence on the current design and was never officially recognised.

2005 plan ‘a draft’ Some residents have been comparing the current design to the 2005 plan, which they believe was less intensive, but Mr Connell says the 2005 plan ‘never actually materialised into a DCP’. He said it was a draft document providing ‘one of any number of options’ for creating buffer zones between the new housing and existing large residential properties. ‘Requiring private property owners to establish and maintain a vegetated corridor has the added risks of bushfire management, risk to property and life through poor management, increased costs to council for regulating and policing non-compliance among others,’ he said. Mr Connell said the 2005 document was not publicly exhibited and never endorsed by councillors. He said that since then there had been a ‘more detailed site investigation’. He said a DCP submitted to council in 2008 by the landowners group was not exhib-

ited or endorsed by council either. ‘On that view there can be no discrepancy between it [the 2005 plan] and the current draft, but rather a change in the approach’, he said. ‘The dwelling density and mix provided within the draft code is considered to provide an appropriate response to the site’s characteristics. ‘The site analysis work undertaken within the preparation of the current draft code identified a series of opportunities and constraints for urban development, which were not vigorously tested in the previous draft documents.’ Mr Connell said it was vital residents understood the NSW government would be unlikely to approve a design with far less density, and that gaining consensus, even among the multitude of landowners, had been difficult.

The member for Page, Janelle Saffin, noted that the ALP’s own platform as determined by the national conference, the party’s supreme policy making body and supposedly binding on all members, states the following: ‘Protection claims made in Australia will be assessed by Australians on Australian territory. ‘Those found to be owed Australian protection under the Refugee Convention and other international instruments will be given permanent protection under the Migration Act and will be provided with appropriate settlement support and services. Those not found to be owed Australia’s protection under the Refugee Convention and other international instruments will be promptly returned.’ That seems fairly clear, so let’s drop the absurd legal fiction that Christmas Island is not really part of Australia

threat to our safety or our way of life, that these desperate victims were not about to take our jobs, rape our children and turn the country into a Moslem (or Jewish, or atheist, or extraterrestrial) hell hole, and we could expect no help from the opposition. But if we adopted the course that most other countries use in dealing with far greater numbers of asylum seekers – doing a quick, basic health and security check and then releasing them into the community while their cases are heard instead of locking them in isolated camps behind razor wire – attitudes could change quite quickly. While they are out of sight, faceless, treated like dangerous criminals, they are easy to demonise. It is hard to hate and fear people who are living next door, who share the shops and transport with you and whose kids play happily with yours at the local school. Too good to be true? Proba-

bly; all the signs are that Gillard and Co are bent on finding yet another quick, nasty and hideously expensive political fix rather than doing the straightforward and decent thing. And when, yet again, it falls to bits, as all political fixes sooner or later must, they will go back to blaming the courts and the media and the public service and the opposition and the weather for their own failures. But there is an alternative. Come on Julia, surprise us: read your own platform, think it through and act on it. Instead of listening to the pollsters, the focus groups, the spin doctors, the psephologists, the astrologers and their fellow necromancers, trust your own better instincts. Cut out the crap. As you put it in another context, it can’t be that hard. And speaking of improbable happenings, last week Tony Windsor spelled out what many have long suspected: he, and by implication the other independents, will never cross the floor of parliament to make Tony Abbott Prime Minister – to inflict him on the country, as Windsor put it. But things might be very different if Malcolm Turnbull, rather than Abbott, was in charge. So Abbott’s duty is now clear. He declares that his crusade, his God-given mission, his sole purpose in life is to save Australia from the horrors of the Gillard government. Obviously he must immediately resign the leadership and throws his support behind Turnbull; only then can he fulfil his sacred quest. At least, that’s what he’ll do if he’s fair dinkum. And squadrons of pigs will wing their way through the heavens in celebration.

and get on with it. Certainly there would be problems; we could expect a lot more boats and asylum seekers, possibly enough to fill the MCG in ten years instead of twenty.

Worse than Jones

If we thought that the dishonourable shock jock Alan Jones was bad, lending his questionable authority to anything that Tony Abbott wanted to say, then surely Andrew Bolt has to be worse. His gutter journalism appears to know no bounds. Andrew Bolt has deliberately written stories for Murdoch papers claiming that ‘climate science’ is untrue, including one in 2009. His claims have been repeatedly scientifically tested and found to have no basis in reality. His claim that the world is not warming is disproved scientifically with each year being warmer than the last. He has claimed that the ice is not melting but again, all the evidence, including that from NASA, says that the average temperature in Antarctica is three to four degrees higher than it was in 1951. The list of his claims just continue and all the evidence from right across the world shows that his is simply wrong. Although it might be wrong to suggest that Andrew Bolt is a liar, there can be little doubt that he is wrong. But he has never once apologised for his errors. But what can we expect from a man who has repeatedly been sued for defamation but not once apologised to his victims, who has not apologised for publicly repeating classified Defence Force information, potentially putting Aussie soldiers lives at risk in 2003, and has denied the existence of the Stolen Generation. Alan Jones might be nothing more than a paid media assassin for the Liberal Party, but Andrew Bolt appears to say absolutely anything for his own benefit and to hell with the truth.

Problem gamblers at risk from shonky campaign n Re the letter ‘Let our pokies be’

(The Echo, August 25). Consider these stats: Australians spend twelve billion dollars a year on pokies. Some 600,000 Australians play poker machines at least weekly, and of these 95,000 are problem gamblers who lose on average up to $21,000 a year. Some lose a lot more. This is not an insignificant problem. Since most people don’t use them, most are unaware of the risks involved in playing poker machines. Australia has the highest number of poker machines per head in the world. There are 197,000 of them nationally and around half are in NSW. We’re not talking about the onearm bandits of old that took 20 cent pieces. It’s possible to feed $12,000 an hour into modern high-intensity machines. Let’s not be fooled here. The machines are designed to increase playing time and addiction. It’s an unsafe product for some. Under the federal government’s proposals all poker machine players will have to decide ahead of time how much they

Loss of faith

I have recently had a crisis of faith in my respect of environmental movement. It occurred last week when walking to the Mebbin lagoons in Mebbin National Park. I was invited on the walk by some fellow bush regenerators, and we spent some time clearing the path of lantana, which had grown over the old logging trails of the former state forest. The area of Mebbin NP as many of you know is extremely picturesque and contains many large impressive trees and a good amount of regrowth. The area was preserved as a national park by the actions of protesters sometime in the 1990s who resisted the utilitarian, ‘nature as larder’ perspective of foresters. So it was to my absolute horror that I witnessed the actions Bruce Keppie of a Nimbin bushwalking group Kingscliff in this magnificent area that had

are willing to lose in any gambling session. These limits can be as high or as low as the player likes. No-one is telling them how much they can or can’t spend, but simply that players have to at least think about their losses ahead of time. It’s mandatory to wear a seatbelt, to wear a helmet on a bike. It’s illegal to serve alcohol to someone who is already drunk and there are limits on where people can smoke, to prevent the impact of passive smoking. This is all good public policy that has led to healthier communities. For every problem gambler up to ten other people are directly affected. The impact of poker machine addiction includes family breakdown, unemployment, debt, financial hardship, theft and other crime, social isolation and all too often suicide. The sad impact of this costs over $4 billion each year. Measures like mandatory precommitment that help problem gamblers help themselves are a step in the right direction. The Productivity Commisbeen set aside for nature preservation. One of their members was pulling vines down out of a giant water gum! This person was reefing the vines down out of the trees as you might attack some wayward garden weed. And for what reason? Apparently that weekend was the Nimbin basketweaving workshop and they needed some raw materials. No-one in the Nimbin bushwalkers seemed to think that there was anything wrong in this act, and in fact helped this vine thief by carrying the ill-gotten gains from the national park thereby condoning this abusive action, which in its intent is akin to the attitude of the foresters who removed trees for similar utilitarian reasons. No doubt you may wonder why I am angry about such a trivial matter, there are far worse things happening in the world! There are bigger prob-

sion says 40 per cent of clubs’ profits come from people’s addiction to poker machines. This is not a viable business model. Some say it will cost about $2,000 to modify each machine. Average revenue for each one is around $60,000 a year. A relatively modest investment when you look at it. Only those clubs that depend on revenue from people addicted to gambling will suffer significant losses under the government’s proposed reforms. It’s not surprising a recent poll released by the Australian National University shows threequarters of Australians support mandatory pre-commitment. Rev Tim Costello

Chair, Australian Churches Gambling Taskforce n The poker machine industry has resorted to threats and lies in its desperate attempt to stop the federal government’s poker machine reforms. I am particularly appalled at the way Clubs Australia and Clubs NSW have shamefully bullied and deliberately mis-

lems than this! But my point is that if we – we environmentalists and so called Greenies – cannot even abide by our own loosely defined criterion of ‘respect for nature’ and honour the purpose of a national park, how can we expect the rest of society to do the same? Sam Dawson

Noble savage

Geoff Dawe (Letters, September 1) suggests that technology necessarily pollutes, suppresses the ‘higher’ side of human nature eg ‘compassion, tolerance, mercy…’ and will ultimately cause the downfall of civilisation if we don’t all head for a neolithic village lifestyle. Let’s define terms: technology is applied science, and science is systematic observation and data collection, theorising, experimenting and continued overleaf

represented the Salvation Army. The other day, the Sydney Telegraph attributed to ‘Salvo’ Louise Duff a Salvation Army statement that it no longer supports the government’s poker machine reforms. The newspaper report is patently untrue, as evidenced by a statement from the Salvation Army which makes it clear their Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia, Western Australia and the Northern Territory division supports the reform, while the New South Wales, Queensland and Capital Territory division supports further trials before endorsing it. What this disgraceful episode really shows is the way in which the pokies industry bullies anyone standing between it and the $5 billion the industry harvests from poker machine problem gamblers each year. The big story here is actually that clubs in NSW have started preventing the Salvos from fundraising on club premises and threatened to stop other sup-

port for the iconic Australian welfare organisation. Moreover Ms Duff actually works for the Brilliant Logic public relations firm which proudly boasts Clubs NSW, Gaming and Racing as well as Easts Leagues among the clients it regards with ‘love and awe’. The pokies industry is plumbing new depths in its deeply unethical campaign against the introduction of effective harm minimisation measures for poker machine players. That the industry is prepared to stoop so low as to intimidate and misrepresent an iconic welfare group like the Salvos just goes to show how desperate the industry is to protect its profits. The government is moving to require players of high-intensity poker machines to set limits on their losses before they start play, as well as introduce safer $1 maximum bet machines outside of the mandatory precommitment system.

communicating the results to others. Science and technology therefore don’t necessarily pollute. Neither do they necessarily prevent the evolution of our ‘higher’ nature. Indeed, much science and technology stem from compassion and a desire to heal the sick and feed and house the hungry and homeless. We can also see that termites do not use technology in building nests. Show me a scientific termite. I applaud the virtue of choosing a life of voluntary simplicity in our rampantly destructive consumerist society. But as for a short, brutish, disease-ridden life chipping flints in a neolithic village… well, that’s what we’ll get if we remove technology from modern life. And personal survival won’t leave much room for compassion and helping others outside your immediate family if you haven’t already eaten them. We need more technology, not less. We need clean, efficient clever technology transcending our current primitive and polluting technology. Rumour has it that such technology already exists, hidden by corrupt corporations hell-bent on maximising profits at any expense to the environment. The problem lies in the people, not in the technology.

Castles made of sand fall in the sea, eventually

n Last week’s Backburner raises a question that should be of interest to all Tweed Shire ratepayers and the NSW government: ‘Who will pay to save the proposed $22m caravan park at Cabarita Beach when it is threatened by coastal erosion?’ The Tweed Coast Holiday Parks Reserve Trust (a commercial arm of TSC) admits that their proposed site on south beach at Bogangar will be threatened by coastal erosion and yet they have made no provision for this multi-million dollar expense in their financial analysis. Maybe their strategic plan includes a future ‘foreshore redevelopment’ like the one at Kingscliff so it will be ratepayers who are again duped into footing the bill and they can merrily go on telling us how profitable these caravan parks are? Is this why TSC hides behind the veil of ‘commercial-inconfidence’ and threatens legal action against concerned ratepayers who try to expose their sham claims of profitability? It is also likely that they don’t want us to know that their phony figures depend on predictions that their revenues will rise year after year while their tax liability remains unchanged? Perhaps it a fear of being acJohn Jennings Numinbah cused of a financial fraud that,

when asked to provide their economic modelling on how this ‘must-have-at-all-costs’ caravan park will save our struggling retailers, they pleadingly respond, ‘trust us!’ After a confidential letter from the general manager of TSC to the secretary of the Residents’ Association mysteriously ‘lands’ on the desk of a local real estate developer last week, I’m afraid that trust is in short supply right now. Residents and business owners are encouraged to view The Real Story at www.cabaritabeach.org. Ashley Baldry

Cabarita Beach/Bogangar Residents’ Association As a resident of Cabarita I have to say that I have never received any survey and I, plus most business and other intelligent people in the area, do support a caravan park and the building of additional residences in Cabarita. Up to 10 businesses have closed in Cabarita in the last three years and more are facing insolvency right now. We need more people and growth in the area and can surely handle any minor traffic and other purported vague non-issues that are holding up progress of the local area. n

COLOURING IN COMPETITION Team Koala is urging Tweed primary school kids to grab their crayons and start colouring in Australia’s favourite marsupial to celebrate September, which is the month of the koala. The team, in conjunction with The Echo, is offering $100 to the most imaginative artwork sent in.

Koalas are under threat in the shire, with only about 140 left. Many think all our leaf-eating furry friends may be gone in another ten years. You can be as creative as you like, and even draw some trees in the background. Use crayons, charcoal, texta pens or even paint to create your artwork. Children are also encouraged to write how they feel about cuddly koalas. The competition is only open to children of primary school age. Entries should be sent to The Echo, PO Box 439, Mullumbimby, 2482, by September 30. 8 September 8, 2011 The Tweed Shire Echo

Council general manager Mike Rayner has tried so hard to find a flaw in the process opposing the Cabarita Beach Southside upmarket tourist park that he has: 1. Ignored that 90 per cent of submissions received by Crown Lands were opposed. 2. Questioned the validity of the survey, which was approved by the Griffith University Ethics Committee (I know Ethics is something this Council may not be that familiar with… but really?). 3. And now someone on his council/staff has leaked communications between himself and the Residents’ Association to a real estate agent. Mike has tried so very hard to find a flaw with Dr Kerrie Foxwell-Norton’s processes that I think these misguided, fruitless and expensive efforts should earn him an honorary Professor of Flaw. It is worth noting that the Residents’ Association needed the Griffith University to become involved to augment the communication process between the community and the council, while Richard Adams has employed a PR consultancy firm to hide behind and speak

on his behalf – his contribution to full and open transparency in this community consultation process. I still think Kerrie’s doctorate trumps Mike’s Proflaw! Tim Smerd

Bogangar

n Thanks to everyone who has once again supported the Hastings Point community in its attempts to ensure development in the village remains appropriate to the environment and area. The protracted consultation process involved in establishing the 2010 Hastings Point Development Control Plan was one of Tweed Shire Council’s finer examples of due process finally achieving a reasonable outcome. Once again this process is under threat from a development proposal still being considered under the state government’s dreaded Part 3A process, which local residents believe will destroy the environment and threaten the lives, properties and investments of every other owner in, and adjacent to Creek Street, simply to provide a quickie ‘grab and run yield’ to one developer who has a long history of cumulative damage and failed compliance.

There are a significant number of developments already in administration on the Tweed Coast. There is massive beach erosion at Hastings Point as well as Kingscliff and Fingal – so precaution must prevail. We also have developments in Hastings Point which proceeded despite warnings by deeply concerned local residents that they would fail – and they have, leaving unsuspecting buyers in invidious positions. It is way past time we all, including current pro-development councillors, take a stand against speculative development which endangers existing communities and the environment, leaves buyers in terrible positions and ensures massive future cost imposts for ratepayers. Councillors and ministers should be held personally responsible for their decisions. Speculative developers must be discouraged through the requirement of much more substantial bonds and fines which provide real deterrents. Genuine investor developers who do engage with existing communities would have nothing to fear from these measures. J Boyd

Hastings Point

Councillors abandon our libraries The recent decision by Tweed Shire Council, by a majority of four to three, to abandon all responsibility for its library service, and hand total management of the Regional Library Service (RTRL) to Lismore City Council, was based on incorrect and outdated facts, and on a seriously inaccurate misleading and outdated report. What is even worse is that it is clear from comments made by Tweed councillors that they really did not know what they were deciding. In particular, Cr Warren Polglase is reported as making the absurd statement that it was a ‘far better model’ and that the only other option was for Tweed to run the service. His statement is demonstrably totally wrong. Cr Dot Holdom apparently stated ‘the change was necessary, otherwise the library service would be operating outside the Local Government Act.’ That is completely untrue. The minister for local government has publicly stated that the Library Act was changed so that the RTRL could establish as a county council – the very model that the RTRL pursued for so many years. This would allow the Regional Library to be run equitably by all four councils, as it was for over twenty years as a de facto county council. Moreover, the RTRL’s total assets of over $5 million would be jointly owned by all four councils, as they should be, and not all owned by Lismore.

<echowebsection=Letters>

The facts are these. The new draft agreement which Lismore has prepared, and which Tweed councillors have so irresponsibly agreed to without even understanding it, removes all shared authority over the library service from the four constituent councils. Under this agreement, the executive library committee, in which all four councils had an equal say, is replaced by a useless ‘advisory committee’ which Lismore can ignore at will. Library assets which are jointly owned, and which could not be sold without the agreement of all councils can, under the new agreement (Clause 8.5) now be sold by Lismore without any consultation. (Tweed Shire owns 40 per cent of these assets but it is handing them over to Lismore quite irresponsibly and unnecessarily.) The annual library budget, formerly considered by all four councils is now to be decided upon by Lismore, and Tweed and the other two constituent councils will not be able to question Lismore’s decision. Clause 19 of the agreement states simply that Lismore ‘must consult’ with Tweed Shire – once it has ‘consulted’ Tweed Shire is bound by the agreement (Clause 10.1) to pay whatever Lismore demands. Lismore can resolve at any time to impose a substantial charge for running the RTRL, and there is no way whatsoever for the other councils to question this. They will simply have to pay up.

In the first financial year that Lismore took over, it lost over $30,000 in earned income due to its failure to properly invest library funds. In the current financial year its budget shows it anticipates losing over $40,000 from this source. At the same time, by introducing unnecessary and inefficient red tape it has substantially increased the costs of casual staff. Costs for workers compensation have increased by over 50 per cent. To compensate for these costs, Lismore has cut the budget for library resources (books, DVDs, etc) by nine per cent. State Library records show that in the 2008–09 financial year, when run by the RTRL, $4.35 per capita was spent on resources, above the state’s ‘baseline’ benchmark of $4.14. Now, taken over by Lismore, the expenditure on resources will be just $3.68 per capita, far below the state’s ‘baseline’ benchmark of 2008–09. Finally, if Tweed wishes to withdraw from the agreement there will be charges to pay, and guess who assesses those charges – Lismore. And poor old Warren touts this as ‘a far better agreement.’ God save us from poor old Warren’s muddled thinking. I challenge Cr Polglase to explain why this one-sided agreement, and demonstrably more costly but less effective library service, is in any way whatsoever a ‘far better model.’ Martin Field

Led by the vocal gymnastics of Indigenous superstar and Darumbal man D-Kazman, Dubmarine have a mission; to produce the sound and fury of electronic music live, in all of its bass-crunching, rhythm-pounding, hip-shaking fiendish glory, all played by musicians, all real. Life has been packing a punch for Dubmarine; they have just returned from a highly successful European tour taking in shows in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and the Czech Republic through June/July 10. Add to that their recent nominations for a Deadly Award in the Best Band of 2010 category and a Q Song award. On the gigging front, Dubmarine have had a massive year or more. The bass-cranking subsurface adventurers navigated between prime festival appearances in five countries and two continents, including Amsterdam Roots Festival (Netherlands), Mundial Festival (Netherlands), Colours of Ostrava (Czech Republic), Alstadtfest (Germany), and the Afro Latino Festival (Belgium), as well as Woodford Folk Festival, the Dreaming Festival, Parklife, Island Vibe and WOMADadelaide to name a few. The night also features sets by DJ Pulse weaving GLObal rhythms and beats to complete the dance experience. So for a big night of dance head to Uki Hall on Friday.

We are wonderfully Lucky With their new single I’ll Be Fine released just this week, The Lucky Wonders already have it spinning on Triple J and at No 1 on Unearthed Roots. As part of their national tour the Wonderteam have planned a very special launch at The Soundlounge with a fantastic line-up of Brisbane’s The Tall Tails and the gorgeous alt country outfit Laneway. A bit of a turn towards the indie pop end of their spectrum, I’ll Be Fine was written in a 5am airport stopover by The Lucky Wonders’ Emma Royle after a latenight goodbye. Grab it on Unearthed while you still can, and get on down to the Soundlounge at Currumbin RSL this Friday.

TELLING YOUR KIDS THEY SUCK Apparently we’ve been praising our kids too much. Our kids have been born into an era obsessed with self-esteem. In fact, we’re so worried about giving our kids low self-esteem, we’ve actually given them low self-esteem. We’ve told them they’re so bloody fabulous at everything they do that they just can’t handle the pressure. Or the truth. If we were to be completely and brutally honest with our kids, a lot of stuff they do isn’t that fabulous at all. My two-year-old came back from daycare with a painting the other day. It was a purple blob. The dog could have painted it. I said ‘Wow darling that’s amazing! What is it?’ She was thrilled at the approval for this very average portrait of her father. But I should have told her the truth. ‘That’s shit!’ And thrown it in the bin. Sure she might have cried for a few minutes, but she’d get to know that there are standards that she’s just not meeting. If you want to make it on the fridge you’ve got to try a lot harder than that. And I’m not just being a nasty bitch. This is the thesis presented by Carol Dweck in her book Mindset. According to the findings of the American psychologist and Stanford University professor, our belief that constant acknowledgment and accolades for anything our kids do has created a generation so frightened of failure they’re atrophied into a bunch of lazy, challenge-phobic pussies. We’ve positively reinforced almost every aspect of our kids’ development. ‘You’re so clever! You are so handsome! You’re so fast at running!’ There are even those that attest that competition is bad for children’s development. Sure, but one day the poor little fella is going to have to find out he’s a loser, and the longer you wait to break it to him, the harder it is. Learning to cope with losing is an important life skill. How else do we find the motivation to strive? Maybe we should revert to some of our own parents’ techniques and just fail to notice our kids at all. Then the little buggers will put some effort in. Right now our kids know that love and approval is unconditional, they don’t have to do a thing. Time to raise the bar. Life isn’t easy, it’s full of disappointments and failures. The mark of a good person, someone who is well adjusted and able to function socially, is someone who can accept failure with grace, not fall on the floor in

a tantrum, key someone’s new BMW or glass their girlfriend. No, it’s time we started getting our children used to failure. I’m sick of turning up to sporting events where every kid gets a trophy. They don’t all deserve one. I’ve seen some of those kids on the soccer field; they’re useless. What, the kid who runs in the wrong direction and cries when he doesn’t get the ball is getting a trophy? Nice one, let’s just reinforce poor behaviour! No, trophies should be given to the kids who have earned them, and not as Dweck attests to kids with natural ability. We need to praise the process not the outcome. So awards for Most Improved or Best and Fairest are the go. We need to take a reality check on how we mould the next generation. While some attest that the next gen are ‘amazing, incredible and spiritually evolved’, I’d say bullshit, they’re a bunch of little Princes and Princesses who’ve been totally indulged, have no sense of compassion, are poor communicators, have no respect for adults and absolutely no resilience. They expect awards for wiping their own bums. And, it’s all our fault. We have made them that way. Look at swimming lessons. These days we all take our babies to the pool and they swim towards plastic duckies and kick their little leggies with Mummies and Daddies in the pool with them all oohing and aahhing at their sheer brilliance. In the old days when it came to teaching a kid to swim, you waited a few years, threw your sprog in the pool, and waited for him to surface, kicking and gasping. There’d be the odd wildly inappropriate and homophobic statement of ‘what are ya? A poof?’, but by the end of the week, little Thorpie would be swimming like a champ. Apparently we need to encourage the process rather than the outcome, and we need to give our children honest feedback and experiences of failure. Awesome, finally a theory has come out that acknowledges some of my greatest parenting techniques. Nothing like the silence on that long drive back from the sports carnival with a sulky kid who came last in the longjump. ‘Oh well, that was disappointing. I suppose you can’t just expect to turn up and do your best if you spend most of your time on the Xbox… loser!’ See, that’s not abuse, that’s resilience building.

Strictly speaking If ever there was a female singer who could sing the vast range of magnificent songs in celebration of the great Dame Shirley Bassey then Jenifer Green is that girl. Her show business experiences, while living and working in America for fifteen years are what dreams are made of for a girl who was born in the Sydney suburb of Ryde. Jenifer enjoyed many seasons working main Las Vegas rooms, impressed with eye-catching performances on the Merv Griffin Show, The Tonight Show as well as the Jerry Lewis Telethon. Touring the USA with superstars such as Bob Hope, George Burns, Mickey Rooney and Donald O’Connor are some of the highlights experienced by this super-talented Australian. Listen to her as she weaves her vocal magic, while singing Bassey classics. Jenifer is supported by her eight-piece orchestra. A show not to be missed at Twin Towns Tuesday.

Since forging connections with Greenpeace and WALHI (Friends of the Earth, Indonesia) almost ten years ago they have worked to educate people through music and performed on the famous Rainbow Warrior. The usage of traditional music instruments such as ‘Kendang Sunda’ or ‘Gamelan Java’ and Tony Q’s distinctive vocals make this one of the ‘must sees’ of this year’s lineup.

FRIDAY 9

1. Pitch Black (One HD, Friday, 8.30pm) cleverly exploits nyctophobia (fear of the dark, not to be confused with the Iron Maiden album) and of nasty things with sharp, pointy teeth. 2. Le Frog (Jean Reno) and Rita (Kate Winslet) exchange witticisms in Flushed Away (Prime, Saturday, 6.30pm), generally regarded as entertaining animation. 3. Mills and Boon sensibility comes to the world of vampires in Twilight (TEN, Sunday, 8.40pm), the first of the seemingly endless series of mawkish twaddle which makes Mary Poppins seem hardcore.

Jupiter turning retrograde reverses its normally expansive action towards inner growth and new approaches to a changing world…

ARIES: Jupiter retrograde reassesses personal integrity, evaluating anywhere you’re playing a role that isn’t who you really are. Beginning this week, the rest of the year’s likely to highlight the difference between faux and authentic in yourself and others, hopefully promoting less judgment and more understanding. TAURUS: When goalposts shift it’s sometimes hard to find the positive potential, but that’s this week’s job because your being less stressed means less stress for everyone around you. Remember the quintessential Tauran mantra (Take It Easy), make realistic adjustments and don’t buy into mob thinking. GEMINI: Human beings dislike change. Change dislikes stasis. And change is inevitable. You

If you’ve been feeling a certain something’s missing without knowing exactly what that is, this week gives a clue as to where you might find it.

With certain plans having to be rejigged, this week’s cosmic spotlight on personal stocktaking suggests investigating your inner guidance for the best way to achieve this.

CHESS

by Ian Rogers Play at Seagulls Club, Thurs 6pm Zhao Zong Yuan’s World Cup dream has evaporated, with the Sydney Grandmaster returning home from Siberia after a 0-2 defeat against Russian star Evgeny Tomashevsky. In truth, Zhao’s hopes were probably dealt a fatal blow before the tournament began, when his Etihad flight from Sydney was suddenly cancelled, necessitating more than three days of expensive and exhausting travel just to get to the venue on time. Four years ago Zhao had the impossible task of coming up against Magnus Carlsen in round one of the World Cup (again in Siberia) but in 2011 many believed that Zhao’s style was well suited to neutralising Tomashevsky’s pressure game. However, the first game of their match confirmed the draining nature of the trip. As usual for a jet-lagged player, Zhao moved far too slowly and, while his position over the board remained satisfactory, he was soon in serious time trouble, and blundered, losing his queen in one move.

Zhao’s only hope of survival lay in a second game comeback, but he ran into an opponent in red-hot form and lost what many commentators have described as the best game of the World Cup to date (given below). Khanty Mansiysk 2011 White: Zhao Zong Yuan Black: E Tomashevsky Opening: Ruy Lopez 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.0-0 Be7 6.Re1 b5 7.Bb3 0-0 8.c3 d5!? The dreaded Marshall Gambit. 9.exd5 Nxd5 10.Nxe5 Nxe5 11.Rxe5 c6 12.Re1 Bd6 13.g3!? Varying from the standard 13.d4, but Tomashevsky comes well prepared. 13...Re8 14.d4 Ra7! 15.Rxe8+ Qxe8 16.Nd2 Re7 17.Nf3 f6! 18.c4!? A new idea, since 18.Qd3 Qh5 19.Bd1 Bf5 leads to a likely draw by repetition – anathema to Zhao given the match situation, where only a win would do. 18... bxc4 19.Bxc4 Bg4 20.Bf1 Bb4! 21.Qb3 Bxf3 22.Qxf3 Re1 23.Qd3 Qg6 24.Qc4! 24.Qxg6 hxg6 followed by 15...Bd2 would be good for Black. 24...Qe4! 25.a3? In time trouble again, Zhao keeps playing for a win and eschews the only saving chance; 25.b3!! Bc3 26.Bb2! Rxa1 27.Bxa1 Bxa1 28.Qxc6 Bxd4 29.Bc4! when Black has plenty of checks but no way to win. 25... Bc5!! 26.Ra2 26.Qxc5 Qe2 would be the end of the road. 26...Qb1! 27.Bd2! Rd1! 28.Qe2 Be7! Precision until the end. The rest of the game is desperate flailing by Zhao with his pieces fatally scattered. 29.Kg2 Kf8 30.Qxa6 Rxd2 31.Qc8+ Kf7 32.Bc4 Qe4+ 33.Kh3 Rxf2 34.Qxc6 Qf5+ 0-1

Courtney’s ‘training run’ a winner A female athlete almost upstaged the men at the inaugural Tomewin Mountain Challenge held recently. The Channon athlete, 22-year-old distance runner Courtney Gilfillan, came home a brilliant third overall to leave the majority of the 120-plus field in her wake. Courtney is a professional triathlete who used the event as a training run. The event was won by Southport distance runner Brad Beer in 1.21.38 from Andrew Arkinstall three minutes back in 1:25:38. Courtney Gilfillan was amazingly the next runner home in a stunning 1 hour 27 minutes and six seconds, nearly 15 minutes ahead of the second placed female Yoko Okuda-Thomsen in 1:41:37. Courtney’s run was a stunning result given the standard of some of the athletes who attended.

There are just 140 koalas surviving along the Tweed coast. Their habitat is being slowly but surely destroyed by traffic and pet dogs. However, on the Gold Coast, koalas that have managed to survive decades of urbanisation and neglect in bushland fringes around Elanora and Currumbin Waters are to be researched over the next 12 months as the council there prepares a koala conservation plan for the area. ■ ■ ■ ■

In contrast, Tweed Greens Cr Katie Milne recently said it was ‘incumbent’ on councillors to treat the area inside the massive Cobaki development on the Tweed side of the border as a koala recovery zone, but council was ‘not even aware’ of the Gold Coast strategy for specific koala recovery area across the border. The site was thriving with koalas in the 1980s but now there are none, Cr Milne said, and the proposed 60-to-70-metre wide wildlife corridor at Cobaki was inadequate, given the planned Gold Coast corridor would be 500 metres. Koala expert Dr Stephen Phillips at the time said the Cobaki project could have provided added support by links to the north to help the recovery of the local koala population and a proposed wildlife corridor there should have been made ‘as wide as you can possibly make it’ with dogs banned near the corridors. Unfortunately, the state planning panel left the corridor as is, so we

phy which sold around 70,000 copies. Most of the 150-plus people hung on Mr Howard’s every word as he recalled some memoirs and straight-batted some curly questions from the floor. But that couldn’t be said for the unnamed former head of state who fell asleep while the PM was having a discussion with him during his term of office, as Mr Howard reminisced, because it was obvious he hadn’t been giving the foreign leader any ‘electrifying conversation’. Needless to say, Mr Howard quipped, that leader didn’t last long after that. The luncheon, at which almost half the crowd had their new paperback editions of his

book personally signed, had a smattering of local coalition parties’ movers and shakers and Mr Howard looked very much at ease in such familiar company. In his welcome, he singled out Margot Anthony, who was lunching with friends and family, and wished them well, but her husband Doug, a former deputy PM and Mr Howard’s colleague in the Fraser government years, was oddly nowhere to be seen. The Echo later gently inquired about his whereabouts and told by Margot that Doug had the flu and was recuperating at home. Plans therefore for a current photo of the two conservative pin-up boys together had to be put on the, well, backburner.
