MP backs rally against van park Luis Feliu
Tweed MP Geoff Provest has lent his voice to a growing chorus of locals opposed to controversial plans for a 230-site caravan park on the beachfront and an adjoining 37-lot housing development, describing them as ‘excessive’. A protest crowd of more than 500 people who rallied against the developments last Sunday was told that Mr Provest had written to the residents’ group to support their cause, saying he would stand up in parliament for them. The move pits him against his own government, which is jointly proposing the two developments south of Norries Headland through its Land and Property Management Authority

(LPMA), and Tweed Shire Council, in its role as trustee of the coastal holiday parks and reserves. Cabarita Beach/Bogangar Residents Association president Neil Moores told a vocal crowd of young and old gathered in the park behind the surf club that Mr Provest believed that if the developments went ahead, they would have a negative impact on the community. In his letter of support, the MP said ‘We need to balance the competing prioirities of economic development and jobs on the one hand and keeping Cabarita special on the other’.
Bushland to be clearfelled Resident spokesman Ashley Baldry told the crowd the developments would be massive and both sites, currently well regenerated bushland, would be clearfelled by bulldozers and be four to five times bigger than Kingscliff ’s beachfront van park.
He said 90 per cent of locals opposed it as did most businesses in the village as well. The residents’ group had also been joined by other community groups along the coast wanting to show solidarity. Mr Baldry said residents felt the caravan park and residential estate was the ‘wrong plan for the wrong place’. He said the developments would threaten areas of very high ecological significance, pose safety and social concerns, create traffic problems and was not financially viable. ‘We could lose our off-leash dog beach and we’ll lose or beach access, there’ll be no public access through the caravan park, which means the public will be prevented from accessing it for more than a kilometre between Cabarita and Hastings Point. ‘There will also be a big impact on infrastructure with an additional
The blatant illegal clearing of koala habitat and planting of non-native grasses along a creek in the Cudgen Nature Reserve right next to the proposed massive Kings Forest subdivision has outraged a Greens MP who inspected the site last week. Sydney-based MLC Cate Faehrmann described the clearing, which runs from the boundary of the proposed housing development for up to 5,000 homes to the confluence of Blacks and Cudgen creeks, as ‘pretty gutless behaviour’. ‘Whoever is doing this are cowboys and need to be brought to account. I would like to see this incident used as an example,’ she said. Ms Faehrmann supplied The Echo with a picture of the clearing (see page 2) and visited the site following a tipoff from a local resident who discovered the destruction and reported it to an EPA hotline two weeks ago.
Authorities tightlipped
But authorities, informed about the destruction in July, are staying tightlipped. A spokesman for National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) told The Echo that an investigation into the matter was started immediately it was reported. ‘There’s not much we can say at this stage; the investigation is ongoing,’ spokesman Lawrence Orel said. He added that heavy machinery was involved and that a ‘considerable’ penalty applied for the offence. The illegal clearing is the latest of several large-scale incidents on the Tweed which have not been proscontinued on page 2 ecuted to date.

But this time it’s in an area that is not only under the jurisdiction of the NPWS, but also believed to be an important corridor for wildlife, including possibly koalas. Trees and even native grasses have been stripped back right to the edge of the creek, exposing it to future erosion and removing critical habitat. Around seven years ago, former Greens councillor Henry James ran into a legal minefield when he suggested illegal clearing had occurred at Kings Forest around a drain, and predicted further clearing would probably occur outside the property in future. He was backed up by the NPWS at the time. The clearing then was believed to have been done to keep a drain servicing the estate clear. The councillor was hit with a defamation suit by the Kings Forest developer which was later withdrawn in court. Ms Faerhmann said the cleared area she inspected was well inside the nature reserve, about 20 minutes’ walk from the road. ‘Whoever has done this must know it is illegal, and clearing to creeklines is also a fisheries offence so [Department of Primary Industries] Fisheries should also know about it. NPWS should be very concerned that this type of activity is taking place on their land,’ she said. ‘The Office of Environment and Heritage needs to investigate this and look at all the likely culprits.’ Without pointing the finger at anyone in particular, Ms Faehrmann said that a culture of clearing and paying the penalty has grown up in the Tweed, where there is heavy pressure continued on page 2

Sand dunes ripped up by trail bikes Steve Spencer
Tweed Coast locals are alarmed over the creation of a network of illegal motorbike trails along protected sand dunes between Pottsville and Hastings Point which involve riders hacking down native vegetaion. But Tweed Shire Council says it’s too hard to catch the culprits, believed to be young trail bike riders who live nearby. Koala Beach resident Dale Taylor, 51, says he has noticed about a dozen new bike tracks pushed through the sensitive coastal vegetation during the past year, with numerous tree branches sawn off to make way for the speedsters. ‘There used to be only one or two tracks some locals at Pottsville would ride along but now there are trails everywhere and it is damaging the delicate environment along there,’ he said.
‘Now a lot more bike riders are ripping up the dunes. I have even seen people with several bikes on a car trailer parked near the start of the tracks. Riders are coming from everywhere; it is getting ridiculous. ‘Apart from the environmental damage and the noise, there is also the chance of erosion being worsened if we have big seas. We don’t want the area to end up like Kingscliff after these riders chew up the erosion buffer zone.’ Mr Taylor said he had complained to council but was told it was difficult for council staff to catch to motorised vandals. ‘The riders don’t tend to have number plates and are wearing helmets so they are hard to identify,’ he said. Mr Taylor said it was only a matter of time before one of the trail-bike hoons jumped over a dune and landed on
top of a beachgoer. ‘The beach isn’t the place to ride a motorbike. It’s a public area and it’s not safe.’ Council’s natural resources co-ordinator Jane Lofthouse said it was difficult for council rangers to apprehend the trail bike riders and urged members of the public who witness illegal riding to call the council or police immediately. ‘If our rangers are in the area they may be able to catch them if we hear about it straight away,’ she said. ‘Rangers have been sealing off tracks but it is almost impossible to stop trail bike riders getting into the area. ‘Another problem is that many of them are underage and can’t be interviewed without a parent present. There is also the problem of them being on unregistered bikes without numberplates so they can’t be traced.’
Rally to keep Caba special 1,000 people in the village at peak times. ‘And what about the cumulative effect of other developments in the area, when Kings Forest comes on line there’ll be 15,000 people on our doorstep. ‘Where will it all end? We think it should end right here, right now,’ he said to sustained cheering. ‘Unfortunately, the entire process has been bungled by council and Crown lands.’ Association treasurer Mel Jones said the residents called on Mr Provest to commission an independent inquiry into the actions of the Tweed Coast Holiday Park Reserves Trust,

council and the LPMA over the Cabarita south precinct development process. Ms Jones said a petition would be presented to the MP after the rally. Indigenous local Aunty Sue Follent told the crowd the area contained middens which were thousands of years old and the place was culturally significant to Aborigines. Locals told The Echo how they often walked, surfed or beachcombed along the southern beach, an activity which would be affected if a van park was built there. Sophia Stacey, who performed her own protest song

for the rally, said that just after sunrise that morning she had spotted a pod of whales out at sea from Cabarita and some dolphins had also joined them. ‘This made me realise how important it is to keep Caba as it is; we’ve enough Gold Coaststyle developments around Australia and we don’t need it here,’ she said. Mr Baldry said locals had no confidence in council to make the right decision. He said an alternative community plan put together by locals was presented to a meeting on Monday this week attended by mayor Barry Longland and senior council officers. www.tweedecho.com.au

Council finds no proof of illegal brothels Steve Spencer
Claims an illegal brothel has been operating in the Tweed Heads CBD led to several raids this year by council officers, but they failed to find evidence that could lead to prosecution. Council yesterday confirmed its staff had made snap inspections on the Bay Street building at least three times but left empty handed after failing to find proof the second-storey unit was being used as an illicit bordello. The building overlooks the playground of the Tweed Heads Public School. Council chief planner Vince Connell said the claims were made during a Land and Environment Court case late last year, but despite three or four surprise inspections council officers ‘failed to find sufficient evidence of illegal activity’. ‘There were claims the building was being used as a brothel and that prostitutes had been soliciting on the street outside,’ he said. ‘We had several complaints
but there has to be more definite evidence. ‘Tweed Council receives about six complaints a year about illegal brothels. There haven’t been any newly detected unauthorised premises in the last 12 months.’
‘Unfair competition’ This week authorised brothel operator, Susan Stewart, accused the council of failing to close down illegal bordellos which were offering unfair competition to her legal operation in an industrial estate at South Tweed Heads. Ms Stewart, who operates the Benchmark brothel, said she couldn’t blame others for setting up illegal bordellos if they knew they would not be prosecuted. ‘It cost me thousands of dollars to fight the council in court and get my licence and I waited years. Why would someone go through all that when illegal operations are not being prosecuted?’ Gold Coast solicitor Bill Potts said brothels were no longer
treated as a moral problem by the authorities but a financial, licensing and health issue, with legal bordellos paying a licensing fee to governments. ‘What we are seeing is a lack of political will to do anything about illegal brothels,’ he said. ‘It’s like the sly grog shops in the first half of the last century; it’s more about government’s missing out on revenue than anything,’ he said. ‘Unfortunately, illegal brothel are more likely to condone unsafe sex and other unlawful activities along with not paying a licence fee. This causes a health problem with the transmission of sexual diseases.
Under the radar ‘These are semi-permanent operations that operate under the radar of councils and police. ‘Meanwhile the legal brothel is spending money on security, medical checks and heeding state government rules and regulations.’ Mr Potts said many lawful Tweed brothels acted illegally by sending working girls north
across the border to service major sporting events on the Gold Coast. And he said that unlike the days before the Fitzgerald inquiry when corrupt Queensland police turned a blind eye to Gold Coast prostitution, it was now easier to operate illegal brothels in NSW. ‘That’s one of the reasons why there are so many brothels in the Tweed Shire. People who fail to get a brothel licence on the Gold Coast have been successful in NSW. ‘And of course the council doesn’t want the Tweed shire to be seen as a launching pad for prostitutes into the Gold Coast. But limiting the number of legal brothels only encourages illegal operations to set up; it’s just the simple rule of supply and demand applied to an industry that has always proved impossible to stamp out.’

Turning ugly graffiti into elegant art Story & photo Albert Elzinga
from appearing, Paris painted a mural over the graffiti and, earlier this week, Tweed shire mayor Barry Longland visited the park to officially unveil Paris’s creation. Cr Longland said graffiti was a huge financial headache for council and welcomed Paris’s effort as murals deterred people from causing more damage. He commended the project
and thanked clubs like Seagulls for its financial support. Paris said she’d worked every lunchtime for two weeks to get the mural ready and thanked her friend and fellow Lindisfarne student Morgan Bailey for her help with the art design. Project coordinator Dean Williamson said Paris had a special talent and it had been a privilege to join her work.

When Lindisfarne Anglican Grammar School student Paris Manson (pictured) became sick of looking at the ugly graffiti in the Tweed, she didn’t simply look the other way but decided to do something about it. Paris participates in the ‘Max Potential Project’, an initiative which partners adult life coaches with teenage students in their final years at high school and aims to get the best out of the youngsters while still at school and into the future. One of the eyesores Paris identified was a wall of the clubhouse at Arkinstall Park. Paris got together with her Max Potential coach, Tweed shire council staffer Kevin Banks, and they decided to tackle to problem as part of the project.

Concerns have emerged following a controversial change to the powers of a low-profile corporate oversight committee which some fear could undermine its independence. Under the change the council’s four-man independent Audit Committee (AC) must seek the ‘concurrence of the general manager concerning investigations into any matters under its control.’ Until the AC’s new charter was adopted at the last meeting, council supremo Mike Rayner was obliged to ‘conduct investigations into any matter’ if requested by members, with no formal powers of veto. Corporate Services chief Troy Green recommended the change as part of a new charter for the AC whose watchdog role involves oversight of administrative operations and improving accountability controls. Mayor Barry Longland, a former long-serving member of the AC, this week played down the significance of the change, saying it will make no difference

to the way the AC conducts its business. ‘The committee’s role is not really an investigatory one and it’s never had the powers to direct staff to do anything so I can’t see it having an impact,’ said Cr Longland, who last month stepped down from the AC because its charter does not allow the mayor to be a member. His place on the committee, which includes two council-
appointed citizens, was taken by Joan van Lieshout whose appointment was opposed only by the AC’s other long-serving council representative, Dot Holdom. Cr van Lieshout said she failed to understand why the charter had been changed. ‘I am worried that it could impact on the AC’s independence and I am also concerned that many on the council and certainly the public at large are
not aware of the committee’s role or even its existence, she said. Greens councillor Katie Milne said she was unaware that the AC’s authority had been changed in the new charter because staff did not follow normal procedures and indicate what changes had been made. Cr Milne, who sided with Cr van Lieshout in a failed bid to defer the new charter until the implications of the changes and the committees role could be more fully explained, said she was also concerned independence could be compromised. Mr Green said in a report to the council that the new charter had been drawn up following lengthy talks between senior staff and AC members, but didn’t say what changes had been made or why. A council spokesman said the committee had never reported to council on its activities because they were not required to. But a report would be submitted at the next council meeting in response to a directive from the Division of Local Government.

Last week’s visit by foreign minister Kevin Rudd to St Joseph’s College in Banora Point hit national headlines as he had to react to the arrest of an Australian teenager for drug possession in Bali. At an impromptu press conference held at the school’s grounds, Mr Rudd said he made the teenager’s return to Australia a top priority. The comments followed a
meeting with local residents organised by Richmond MP Justine Elliot during which Mr Rudd spoke of the work done by the Australian government to address such issues as Libya’s battle for democracy and global warming. When Mr Rudd opened the meeting to questions from the floor, local Greens’ candidate Andrea Vickers asked if Aus-
tralia’s relatively positive economic outlook affected its foreign aid commitments. Mr Rudd answered the government was in the process of increasing the percentage of GNP allocated to foreign aid and hoped Australia’s growing profile on the international stage would give it more influence at important forums such as the United Nations.

Circus show aids hospital auxiliaries Albert Elzinga
A charity show by the visiting ‘Great Moscow Circus’ raised almost $20,000 for Murwillumbah and Tweed Heads hospital auxiliaries last week. The special ‘Mayor’s Charity Performance’ organised by Tweed Shire Council and circus promoter Michael Edgley attracted around 1,000 spectators to the recently renovated Jack Evans Boat Harbour site where, decades ago, Jack Evans entertained many thousands with his porpoise shows. Although animal acts have all but disappeared from modern circus shows, the daredevil, clown and magic acts performed by the Great Moscow Circus entertainers captivated the audience until the very last routine. The two and a half hour long show included a death-defying motorcycle stunt which saw four riders narrowly evade each other inside a four-metre-wide
metal sphere while speeding along at some 80km per hour. Another highlight, worthy of a place in ‘Cirque du Soleil’, was a magical performance by an apparently two-headed man who moved his two ‘faces’ with the agility of an experienced politician. At the show’s interval, former Tweed mayor Kevin Skinner joined current mayor Barry Longland in the circus ring to present Murwillumbah hospital auxiliary president Val Foster and Tweed Heads hospital auxiliary president Jan Tobin with the night’s proceeds, a cheque for $20,000. The circus continues at Jack Evans Boat Harbour until this Sunday, October 16, when it will pack up and move on to Capalaba (Qld), the 80th city of the circus’s current tour.

Protest rallies to stop the spread of controversial coalseam gas (CSG) mining will be held at various locations on Sunday. Nearly half the shire is earmarked for coal-seam gas exploration with support from the NSW Department of Primary Industries. An exploration title has been granted covering the western corner of the shire and spilling over into Kyogle and Lismore shires. The licence covers all the region west of Mt Warning and include the Mebbin, Wollumbin and Limpinwood national parks. More than 3,000 people attended a protest rally in Murwillumbah in May: one of the biggest rallies ever seen in the Northern Rivers. This Sunday’s rallies, organised by the Lock the Gate Alliance and the Northern Rivers Guardians, will be held in Murwillumbah, Tweed Heads,
a moratorium along with environmental and farmer groups. Federal Page MP Janelle Saffin also backed the call but Richmond MP Justine Elliot declined to support it, saying it was a state government responsibility. Concerns have focused chiefly on ‘fracking’, which involves pumping, under high-pressure, large amounts of water mixed with various chemicals into drilling wells in order to extract gas trapped in coal seams. Companies exploring in the region have not ruled out using the controversial process here. While the industry is working hard to present itself as the green alternative to coal, the US Environmental Protection Agency this year announced changes in the way it calculates the industry’s greenhouse gas emissions – revising them upwards. France and South Africa recently banned fracking in response to growing worldwide concerns.

Newspaper narrowly avoids the axe David Lovejoy
The Tweed Coast Weekly is set to continue publishing after an offer to restructure its parent company was accepted by a meeting of creditors in Armidale on September 30. The Tweed Coast Weekly, owned by the Evans Publishing group based in Armidale, is one of five free weekly newspapers operating in the Tweed Shire. The Sun and the Border Mail are owned respectively by Murdoch and APN; the Murwillumbah Weekly is owned locally, as is the Tweed Shire Echo. Evans Publishing Pty Ltd, which runs newspapers in Port Macquarie, Armidale, Tamworth and Warwick, as well as Tweed Heads, went into administration in August this year, owing at least $2.5 million to various creditors, including employees and printing companies.

However, he claims that ‘many of the advances made to him pursuant to this loan account were used to pay company creditors… Mr Evans has verbally informed us that he maintains no assets and significant personal creditors.’ The report concludes that it would not be commercially viable to pursue Mr Evans for this debt. Before the restructure was accepted, three offers for the
purchase of the business were received. The first was for the five newspapers at a price of $750,000. The second was for the Southern Free Times (Warwick) only at $250,000, and the third was for the Tweed Coast Weekly only at $20,000. The second and third offers were unacceptable as they did not propose the continued publication of all the newspapers in the group. When the administrator sought from the first applicant expenses estimated at $220,000 for the due diligence period, the offer was withdrawn. The Tweed Coast Weekly has continued to publish throughout the administration period. ■ Disclosure: Echo Publications Pty Ltd was a part of the consortium that offered to purchase the group.

Councillors voted to accept the $142,340 tender from Kellogg Brown & Root Pty Ltd for ‘preliminary operations design and environmental impact statement’ for the sand delivery pipeline project. The sand is expected to be dredged from the Tweed River somewhere near Chinderah. ‘It is important that we as councillors do not put any major obstacles in the way of this project,’ said Cr Kevin Skinner, who was mayor at the time of the Kingscliff erosion crisis in August. ‘It is excellent to see it going out to tender. There will be a twofold benefit; it will remove a lot of sand from the Tweed River, giving decent access and helping navigation, and put sand onto the Kingscliff foreshore that will benefit the whole shire,’ Cr Skinner said. ‘But people must be aware this is just a downpayment and

recognise it is a state government responsibility.’ Council is seeking NSW government money to help fund the total cost of the sand
pumping project, which is more than $6 million. After the initial sum the project is estimated to cost an average of $100,000 a year.
Mural to create a virtual tour of Mt Warning Steve Spencer
Tourists unable to make the two-hour trek up Mt Warning will soon be able to experience the view from the summit with the help of 360-degree ‘virtual tourism’ mural in Murwillumbah. Tweed shire councillors voted recently to approve a $35,000 refurbishment of the World Heritage Rainforest Centre, which will include the creation of a Green Cauldron Panorama, nearly 20 metres of removable wall panels that will give an all-round view of the Tweed caldera as seen from the top of Mt Warning. It is designed so elderly visitors to the Tweed Valley will be able to experience the scenic beauty of the shire after a short
<echowebsection=Local News>
walk from the car park into the Murwillumbah Visitor Information Centre, rather than an arduous walk and climb that can take several hours. The money will come from World Heritage Rainforest Centre’s redevelopment budget and also fund a facelift for the building and its theatrette.
Building facelift Artists will be paid $21,700 to create the mural, with the remainder of the money going on artwork materials, new infrastructure, and a general facelift for the building. The building was last renovated 15 years ago. People who are unable to climb to 1,000-metre-high extinct volcano will still be able to experience the ‘sights and
sounds’, according to the designers. The virtual view may also be popular during much of summer when the summit is shrouded in cloud, causing poor visibility, or on rainy days. Mayor Barry Longland said he thought the project would be useful for schools as well as infirm visitors. ‘Not everybody can go walking in the Border Ranges National Park or climb Mt Warning,’ said Cr Longland. ‘It will be an excellent way to describe the geology and biology of the caldera to visitors and children.’ A similar virtual tourism experience of the Flinders Ranges can the viewed at www.wilpenapanorama.com/default. html. www.tweedecho.com.au

Little Unity celebrates our children Organisers of next Saturday’s Unity Festival at Murwillumbah Showground promise it will be a rich, colourful and culturally engaging experience for adults and children alike. As an integral part of the festival program, Little Unity, a dedicated children’s space, is offering a range of free interactive art and music workshops culminating in a main performance activity. Children are being invited to make and decorate their own colourful Vietnamese hat using a range of recycled materials and help with final decorations of a seven-metre Chinese dragon. The dragon will then enter the main festival arena at 5.30pm, accompanied by the children. Parents are encouraged to stay to witness the dragon parade and celebrate their children’s contribution to the festival. Project manager Kerry Turner said a goal of the festival was for it to be family focused and affordable to all. Sponsored by YWCA Mur-

ugly year of politics. Once again, there was an unpromising start: on the first day the summiteers set out their own purely self-interested wish lists with the usual bombast and slogans. The former Treasury head, Ken Henry, commented wearily that he could have written the script in advance. But then something rather unexpected happened. Instead of being met with abuse and

derision, the proposals were treated seriously. They were analysed by the experts and the consequences and costs explained in a polite and constructive manner. And suddenly the atmosphere became civilised: there was genuine discussion and an increased understanding and appreciation of alternative views. There were no immediate outcomes of the kind Oakeshott had hoped for: Treasurer Wayne Swan’s promise to increase the tax-free threshold to $21,000, while sensible and desirable, has no date set for implementation, and the pairing of state treasurers Mike Baird and Andrew Fraser to produce a firm timetable and plan for the abolition of inefficient state taxes by the end of the year looks extremely optimistic. But at least the forum ended with all involved (well, almost all) showing a genuine concern for the national interest as well as for that of their constituents.
name and shame resources companies which denied equal access to local manufacturers with the ultimate sanction of withdrawing their tariff concessions – is a fair and sensible move, with a taskforce chaired by Julia Gillard herself to monitor its progress and work on further measures. Incredibly, even Tony Abbott, who spent his usual week roaming the countryside spreading doom and gloom about the carbon tax, was forced to concede that the changes were not all bad. Abbott, and the rest of the opposition, had declined to attend the tax summit; he had been invited by Wayne Swan, but only on the condition that he left his wrecking ball at home. For Abbott, this would have been too much like amputation; one can only guess what the forum would have been like if he had been present. His own tax policy, like so much of his platform, tends to be short on both subtlety
and detail: No new taxes and lower current ones, no ifs and no buts. Anything else is not really tax reform at all. It might work as a media grab but it would have been a bit of a party pooper in the almost bipartisan ambience of last week. But that was last week. This week we will return to the brutal reality of parliament, with votes on the carbon tax bills which will probably pass) and Gillard’s attempt to resurrect her Malaysian solution (which probably won’t). And on top of it all will be the looming shadow of Kevin Rudd. That this has taken on any substance at all is due largely to the ALP warlord turned gun for hire Graham Richardson, whose dubious claims of inside knowledge have added colour to the febrile speculations of some commentators. The motivation is obvious: Richardson may have little time for Gillard but he has still less for Rudd, and he is very much aware that by promoting Rudd as a threat now he will harden the opposition of the present faction leaders and their acolytes against him. For his part Rudd regards Richardson with contempt and loathing, as he made clear last week. And in spite of the gossip, he is not canvassing numbers and there is no serious move to draft him. The overwhelming mood in the party, particularly after the welcome breather last week, is to get the carbon tax through before anything else goes wrong and then hope the silly season arrives as soon as possible. If hard decisions need to be taken, there will be plenty of time next year. For the moment, Kevin will have to be content with the role of the Spirit of Christmas Past.

Stealing from the village?
Tweed Council’s own figures and workshop report clearly show there is potential to meet the predicted water demand shortfall of 3,000 mL for this water management period to 2036, without further damming, yet this is not discussed anywhere in these water reports. This was confirmed by Geolink, a consultancy firm who voluntarily undertook an independent review. The fact we could be losing some of our best water-saving opportunities in our new large greenfield developments if we don’t get all the infrastructure in now is the most distressing aspect of this whole business. A responsible council would commission a review for this multimillion-dollar management issue, by the Institute of Sustainable Futures, Sydney University, as the community has requested. The Institute of Sustainable Futures reviewed the Tillegra and Traveston dams and found they were both exorbitantly costly and unnecessary. None of the more minor or in-house reviews that councillors have previously held up as reasons to avoid this high-level review have even mentioned the obvious potential of avoiding a dam, as the community have highlighted, and my own analysis and Geolink’s confirm. I have no problem with council doing the pre-approval processes for expanding Clarrie Hall Dam, as a precautionary measure in case it’s required earlier than indicated, but it’s also clearly councillors’ responsibility to do everything we can to avoid further damming if possible. The treasured waterway of our internationally significant environment warrants the highest level of expert review to give it the greatest protection it deserves.
I am writing this letter on behalf of my husband’s family. The Allards are fifth-generation residents of Burringbar and are the backbone to the village of Burringbar. The Allards were one of the first settlers to the village and community involvement was essential to build friendships and an infrastructure that still exists over 100 years later. Over those years community buildings have been erected and managed by the Allards and other members of the village. Those community buildings include the Burringbar School of Arts Hall, the Burringbar Sports Club and the St Michael and All Angels Anglican Church. The St Michael and All Angels Anglican Church, the op shop building and its land were donated by the community, built by the community, maintained by the community, attended by the community, and loved by the community. If all this has been done by the community why should it be sold off for financial gain to a real estate agent and the Anglican Church? This community does not have time to raise funds to buy the church and land, we shouldn’t have to – our forefathers have already done that. Once again, why should a real estate agent and the Anglican Church gain financially from a
community-funded land and its buildings? It is vital in this small rural village to show residents that community support is important during good times and bad. Even though the church hasn’t been utilised by the residents, the building and its land should be used in other ways. Some of the activities we have in Burringbar, a township of 1,000 people, include: craft, self-defence, hall committee, card night, bowling club, land care, wildlife rescue, Rural Fire Brigade, hockey, soccer, touch football, Zumba, yoga, Tweed Ball, Farmers Feast, cooking class, preschool, primary school, op shop, Anzac Day ceremony, Australia Day ceremony. These volunteer activities of all ages prove that Burringbar is as strong as ever; the only things we don’t seem to be doing is physically supporting the church. However, the Anglican Diocese should not be questioning the community spirit but donating the property to the people to use it in a productive manner. The op shop that is successfully raising funds throughout the year to maintain the buildings can still operate in that capacity. There have been many suggestions of uses for the buildings including a men’s shed, a non-denominational chapel, a
small meeting place… I think the community does not understand who are making the decisions and they need more information. In a recent article printed in the local daily I found the following information quite disturbing: ‘Diocese of Grafton registrar Anthony Newby said, “Details of how the parish made the decision was not a public matter.”’ And this comment [from Mr Newby] in the Tweed Shire Echo: ‘We’d love it to be used in a more sustainable way because it’s not cheap to maintain if it’s not being used.’ But an inspection of the church reveals it as one of the best-restored and maintained old buildings in the Tweed, all at the hands of the local volunteer parishioners. Mr Newby said he sympathised with people wanting it for community use and the diocese had ‘no desire to do it, but our current situation pops the question: can we afford to keep it? These situations are quite distressing for us all to think we’re parting with this lovely property.’ At no stage in the above quotes are the needs of the people of Burringbar considered. I am available to discuss this matter and I am sure many members of Burringbar are willing to meet with Mr Newby.
cess was part of the analysis for both Tillegra and Traveston dams. This may then provide guidelines to ensure that our shire’s water management policies are ‘best practice’, look realistically towards the future, and implement water-sensitive urban design in all new developments, which is far from the truth at present. The Qld Department of Environment and Resource Management in 2010 recommended ‘a shift away from traditional reliance on centralised dams as the sole source of water supply, to a more diverse portfolio of supply sources: a mixture of centralised and decentralised systems, including groundwater, reservoirs, urban stormwater, rainwater tanks, recycled waste water and grey water reuse.’
that development (and the value of the land should he decide to sell it with the DA in place)? I don’t think it will drive the prices down! Secondly, part of the land is used for Outward Bound type activities. Having access to a body of water for water-based activities such as canoeing and rafting would increase the financial value of the property. In a general sense, one of the things that I believe we are entitled to expect, and receive, from our elected representatives is integrity. For too long it has been a very scarce commodity in local government in the Tweed.

The key issue for me is that Cr Joan van Lieshout has already identified that she has a conflict of interest in relation to the proposed dam on Byrrill Creek. Having made that call it seems a bit ludicrous now to claim (12 months on) that the conflict does not exist. I would even go so far as to suggest that, under the Local Government Act, having identified the conflict of interest she does not have the capacity to ‘unidentify’ it. Twelve months ago she identified that she had a ‘nonpecuniary’ conflict of interest and excluded herself from the debate and the decision about the dam. I think she got it half right. The conflict is certainly there, but I would argue that it is a pecuniary one. The conflict does not relate to the compensation that her husband would receive. That is a ‘no net gain’ situation. They lose the land and they get financial compensation, so, in theory at least, they are no better or worse off. The conflict, it seems to me, arises from the direct financial benefit that would accrue to her husband’s business interests from a decision to build the dam. There are several aspects to this. Firstly, he already has an approved DA for Nightcap Village on that land. What do you anticipate the impact of having close access to water activities will have on the land values in

Congratulations to our new mayor, Barry Longland, and may we see some prompt action against the Byrrill Creek dam and the ongoing saga of wasted time and money. May I remind councillors of the request by the CWG committee and many Tweed residents to council for an independent review to reassess the council’s Demand Management Strategy, as Geolink’s brief review to council in February indicated there were anomalies, and more sustainable choices in water supply.

Under the Local Government Act it is for individual councillors to identify when they have a conflict of interest and then to decide how they will deal with it. Personally, I think there should be an independent arbiter to whom communities can turn to decide on this important matter before the fact rather than after. If cost were considered an issue then I would ask, what was the cost of the Daly Commission of Inquiry, both in dollar terms and in terms of loss of reputation and credibility of local government in the Tweed?

How did the cat get so fat? – Occupy Wall St New York
Reuters/Stephen Lam For the last few weeks, a group of protesters calling themselves ‘Occupy Wall St’ have done exactly that and camped out in a park near New York’s famed Wall St financial precinct. The protests began on September 17 and as we were enjoying the October long weekend, 700 people marching across the Brooklyn Bridge were arrested by the New York Police Department. Buses were commandeered by the NYPD to transport those arrested, much to the dislike of the City bus drivers who are now suing the police. Oh the land of the free! The bus drivers filed their law suit on Monday and were supported by the Transport Workers Union whose president said: ‘We’re down with these protesters. We support the notion that rich folk are not paying their fair share.’ Taxing the rich and a call for an end of corporate influence on government are some of the main protest points. Some of the slogans chanted and displayed on placards read: ‘We Want The Sacks Of Gold Goldman Sachs Stole From Us’ and my favourite, ‘How did the cat get so fat?’ The protesters are a very eclectic bunch comprising students, unemployed, elderly and a sprinkle of Hollywood, of course, with Susan Sarandon joining the chorus of growing discontent in the US. Who can blame them? Some of the executive salaries within the companies that participated in one of the greatest global con jobs are in the tens of millions of dollars and worse still, some of the bailout monies helped pay for their ludicrous bonuses! Thankfully in Australia, CEO salaries are nowhere near the levels of their US counterparts and are under growing pressure to remain as is or reduce as some of the top executive pay packets have in the last two years. In my opinion, the best thing the Occupy Wall St movement could do to change the corporate influence on government is not to protest against it, but to embrace it. One of the most respected figures in the US, Yvon Chouinard, founder of Patagonia clothing and overall champion of responsible and 12 October 13, 2011 The Tweed Shire Echo
sustainable business practices amongst other things once said, ‘If you want to change government, start with the corporations’. Corporations wield extraordinary power, and every dollar we spend empowers the company we spend it with further. So I put it to you: 1. Be more aware of the power you wield as an individual. 2. Spend with companies you are happy to empower further. 3. Invest your superannuation with companies you are happy to empower further. Altering your superannuation will have the greatest initial impact to empower responsible companies and that’s where I can help. Common sense tells me that companies who prioritise sustainable business and environmental practices with shareholder returns will benefit from the growing discontent consumers and investors alike are feeling. If you have super, you are an investor so why not look a little further at which companies you are empowering; it’s easier than you think and we are only a local phone call – 6687 6566 – away!

‘Rollercoaster’ exchange rates
If the interest rate this month is the Cup-andSaucer ride then the currency rates are the Rollercoaster. On 1 September the US Cash Sell rate was 1.0360 (AU$965.25 per US$1000) and today it is 0.9276 (AU$1078.05). Pretty hefty move in 30 days – almost 12 per cent. An importer trading US$200,000 monthly has just seen a AU$22,560.00 difference on settlement. Although imports have had it ‘pretty good’ lately, it’s still not where you want
your bottom line to go in a month. But THAT is how the rate rollercoaster rolls. What will the next 30 days bring: another 10 cents off the dollar or 10 cents gained? The age-old cry of the speculative trader (gambler). So whether you’re heading overseas, and kicking yourself for not getting it two weeks ago, a business that has FX somewhere in its settlements or an immigrant/emigrant who needs to transfer funds, prioritise the maths. Travellers, reconsider using plastic with the fees and fluctuating rate and opt for foreign cash and global travel cards with no administration fees. (Shop around; not all are created equal). Buying now AND later spreads rate ‘risk’ and is kinder to budgets; it’s easier to find a couple of hundred a week than three thousand the week before you go when the rate has nosedived again. Forward Contracts for Importers and Exporters are a means of managing rate risk. If you have a US$200k settlement or payment due in 30 to 90 days, ‘locked’ rates can assist with cash flow and costings. For those resettling here or abroad, shop around in the current market, whatever that market is, as thousands of dollars (yes, thousands) in ‘invisible’ costs can be incurred. I regularly see customers who have ‘lost’ three per cent of their life savings or pension funds because they took the easy bank-tobank route. If moving amounts of a couple of hundred thousand dollars who needs the $5000 or $6000 more, you or the bank? And always ask for the provider’s AFSL (Australian Financial Services Licence) Number. There are big savings to be made with independent providers over banks, but protect yourself and your funds by ensuring they are regulated.

Get a lower rate from your bank!
Did you know your bank might offer you a better rate just to keep your business? Yes that is right! It can be possible to reduce the current interest rate you are paying without changing banks. You could have a lower monthly loan repayment without the hassle of changing banks. Recent customers of mine had been to see their major bank about getting a new loan and refinancing their current home loan. They were offered a rate better than their existing rate; however it was still much higher than other rates on the market. This is when they called me. They did not want to change banks but knew that they could save lots of money by going somewhere else. I was able to find them a great product with a much lower rate; however, this was with another bank and they were still concerned about moving all of their accounts over. My next step was to tailor another solution which was with their bank. Using my experience and knowledge I was able to get their bank to match the rate from the other product I had chosen for them. By calling me the customers were able to stay with their bank and they
got a lower rate than the bank had originally offered them. If you want the best possible solution for you financial needs or simply to find out if you are already in the best solution.

Do you know that local employers are bucking the trend toward employing people with disabilities?
Recent media reports claim that employers lack an understanding of people with disability and exercise their prejudices by not employing people with characteristics deemed undesirable. Earlier this month federal minister for employment participation, Kate Ellis, released results of a new Australian study claiming employers continue to operate under the misconception that people with disability will be less productive. NSW Northern Rivers and Gold Coast businesses are bucking the trend in droves as they increase their demand for a talent pool that has traditionally been overlooked. Despite a tough economic climate, vacancies exist throughout the region and local employers are more than willing to cast aside prejudice to embrace a valuable sector of the labour market that is willing and able to meet their needs. We have canvassed a large number of businesses in the last three months, of which a staggering proportion had immediate vacancies, but more importantly the majority were open to employing as part of their team a person with an injury, illness or disability. What we now know is that we are in a region full of savvy business operators who have readily identified the value of tapping into a non-traditional talent pool as a means to sustaining their business into the future. As a result, we have a number of vacancies available and we are calling for expressions of interest from people with disability who are professional, tertiary and/or trade qualified and who are ready to embrace local employment opportunities. Recognition is due the local business community for their vision and for becoming part of a local solution to the skills shortage by partnering with us. Hopefully more employers will follow the trend and reap the rewards. Expressions of interest may be registered with Karen Daley at ON-Q Human Resources on 1800 761 561.

SLEEPING IT OFF
I remember being a kid and dreading the idea of going to bed. Bedtime was like a punishment. I was certain that adults sent children to bed so that they could do really fun stuff and that I would miss out. I wanted to watch Number 96 and The Box. I wanted to play Canasta and drink beer and get my hair permed. I was only six but it always seemed to me that the night held secrets that I wanted to unlock. Now I’m an adult and I try to get my kids to bed I realise exactly what adults are up to. Yes they are devious. They want to go to bed too. Bed is the ultimate when it comes to fun stuff. I love bed. My one regret is that I don’t ever spend enough time in there. And I’m not talking about loving bed because I’m rolling around in ecstatic pleasure, I’m talking about being comatose. I’m talking about every woman’s ultimate porn fantasy: sleep. I haven’t slept in past 8am since 1995. I remember the days of
emerging at 3pm after an 18-hour post-party sleep-in. Those days are long gone. Babies, children, and now habit has me bolt upright at 7am, agitated about facing the endless list of tasks each day presents. I lie in bed feeling guilty about what I should be doing. I should be up doing the dishes. I should be up checking my emails. I should be up making lunches. I should be up walking the dog. I should be up. It makes lying in torturous. I have a mental fight with myself justifying why I deserve an extra five minutes on the pillow. My favourite part of sleep is the initial surrender. That moment after I’ve had a shower, washed my face, brushed my teeth and put on my jammies. It’s the feeling of a clean tired body in fresh sheets (it does help to change them every few weeks to get this gorgeous sensation). Clean sheets are orgasmic. Don’t worry about finding the g-spot, girls, just pop on some crisp linen and you’ll be finding your sheet spot in no time. I remember being in my twenties and going to bed, falling asleep, and then waking up and finding it’s morning. That never happens anymore. I wake all through the night. I’ll need a glass of water. Then the baby will wake up and want to be breastfed. I’ll drift off again, only to be woken by my own bladder, beckoning me with its persistent fullness. I fall back to sleep dreaming that I’ve been to the toilet only to wake up half an hour later with an even greater urgency. I make my way down the
hall, find the toilet. The baby is screaming because I dared separate my nipple from her mouth. I return to bed. The baby suckles, and I fall into a half-sleep, waiting for her to disengage from my breast. It doesn’t happen. I lie there for a while making lists in my head of all the forgotten tasks that I’ve suddenly remembered. Were I unencumbered by child I’d be able to at least get up and commit the list to paper and then go back to sleep without stressing about all the things I’m frightened I’ll forget but I can’t because of my warm-milky parasite. If I have to get up at 6.15am I’ll wake at 5am in a panic that I’ve overslept. I’ll then sleep in five-minute increments until the wake-up time. It’s sort of like sleeping in and sort of not. Well, to be honest, more not. The ultimate holiday for me would be a week in bed. Just lying in bed reading the paper, drinking tea, watching movies, having sex, then eating lunch. In that order. It’s a grand idea but hard to achieve with my budgetary constraints, and those nude midnight lavatory runs are even more of a bother when you’re staying in a caravan a good 100 metres from the amenities block. I love the nothing of sleep, the feeling of a tiny death every time you fall into a slumber. I think Hamlet summed it up best when he muttered ‘to sleep perchance to dream, ay, there’s the rub’. Yes there is the rub. Tonight I’ll be giving it another crack.

ARIES: Emotional reactivity runs like a fault line through this week, especially round midweek annual full moon in Aries. So avoid over-inflated guesstimates and exaggerated expectations, don’t enlarge things out of proportion or overstep boundaries. Less is definitely better unless you’re talking caution, patience and restraint. TAURUS: This style-obsessed week has a sensitive underbelly with plenty of emotional activity percolating. And your planetary ruler Venus slinking into the sign of passionate attraction comes with a reminder that the line between enjoying life’s rich smorgasbord and oink oink is a fine one.

Gemini embarks on a period of intense regeneration requiring some hard-line negotiating. Though it may be tougher than you expected, aim to broker generous agreements where everyone benefits. CANCER: Seesawing emotions could make balance tricky this week, especially if others insist they’re right and you’re wrong. Cancerians are notoriously able to pinpoint people’s weaknesses, and while the temptation to crabnip might be massive, unlovely repercussions could result. So just imagine you’re venting, but without verbalising… LEO: Find positive ways to satisfy your excitement glands this week, or expect strife in your life. Watch what you say in private, in case it becomes public and your reputation suffers. And lastly, monitor unnecessary spending,

especially round midweek when the cost of fun could skyrocket. VIRGO: This week favours group activities rather than slogging away solo, though people’s mixed signals might have you wondering where everything went pear-shaped. If drama erupts with kids (or someone behaving like one) don’t take strange behaviour personally, because you’ll need to be the cool, mature one. LIBRA: With your planetary leader in the sign of penetrating minds, this week unbuttons Libra’s velvet glove to reveal its steel fist: your far-sighted, determined side. Which will come in handy if midweek moon brings sudden news that calls for a fast and forthright decision. SCORPIO: Venus is currently kindling your Scorpionic magnetism, which needs

careful handling during full moon madness. With this week’s Scorpio Mercury giving communications a sting, ask yourself is it really wise to lash out when what goes round comes around again so quickly these days? SAGITTARIUS: This funky week’s spunky encounters brew up a whole slew of new opportunities, along with a wakeup call to abandon particular unproductive habits, attachments or distractions. If certain wellmeant advice feels misguided, check whether it might apply more to who’s giving it than it does to you. CAPRICORN: High pressure scarcitymongering makes it hard to trust in life’s abundance. But ultimately you can’t hang onto anything forever: possessions, loved ones, even your own physical package. Which makes it all

the more worthwhile to fully enjoy this week’s lovelier moments as they pass. AQUARIUS: Friendships and family bonds strengthen as this up, down and roundabout week counterbalances your mental activity with depth experiences: intense feelings, cathartic realisations and sudden epiphanies that surprise you with the extraordinarily lively possibilities thriving in even the most ordinary events. PISCES:This week’s artistic influences decree at least one mandatory beauty pursuit a day. Because on the serious side you’re at a crossroads, but are you ready to change tracks? Before that can happen peace needs to be made in certain quarters, and made by you.

CHESS
by Ian Rogers Play at Seagulls Club, Thurs 6pm Grandmaster Vassily Ivanchuk finished the Sao Paulo leg of the Grand Slam Final leading the field, despite losing to world number one Magnus Carlsen. His ‘victory’ was widely reported in the Brazilian media, which might be why an opportunistic gunman robbed him and his wife as they left the hotel for the airport. His wife’s passport was taken which made her unable to travel anywhere except home to the Ukraine, so Ivanchuk was at first unwilling to continue playing. However, with the promise that his wife would soon be able to join him in Spain for the second leg of the tournament, Ivanchuk relented, but whether he can maintain his form and concentration remains to be seen. Thus successfully organising a popular, world class tournament in the centre of a city of 20 million has been marred by Sao Paulo’s notorious culture of crime. When googling `Sao Paulo chess` turns up `Ivanchuk robbed at gunpoint` as the first
result, all the effort of the organisers will be forgotten. Fortunately for chess fans Ivanchuk’s fine play will live on.
Sao Paulo 2011 White: L Aronian Black: V Ivanchuk Opening: Queen’s Gambit Declined 1.Nf3 d5 2.c4 e6 3.d4 Nf6 4.Nc3 Nbd7 5.Bg5 Bb4!? Playing Aronian’s favourite system against him; risky strategy. 6.cxd5 exd5 7.Nd2 c6 8.e3 Nf8 9.Bd3 Be7 10.Qc2 Ne6 11.Bh4 g6 12.h3 0-0 13.Nf3 a5 Designed, successfully, to scare White out of castling queenside. 14.g4 b5 15.Ne5 Bb7 16.f4 c5 Counterattacking, just in time. 17.f5 cxd4 18.fxe6 dxc3 19.0-0 d4 20.Nxf7? ‘The start of my problems,’ said Aronian. 20.exf7+ Kg7 21.Qh2! was the way to continue White’s attack. 20... Qd5! 21.Bxf6 Qh1+ ‘I had even forgotten that he could play 21...Bxf6 22.Rxf6 Qh1+ and 23... Qxa1, though that line should be a draw,’ admitted Aronian. 22.Kf2 Qxh3! 23.Ke1 Aronian had thought that Black’s attack was now over, but the danger continues from an unexpected direction. 23...cxb2! 24.Qxb2 Bb4+ 25.Kd1 Bf3+ 26.Rxf3! The only chance. Too late, Aronian saw that 26.Kc2 Rfc8+ 27.Kb1 Qxf1+!! 28.Bxf1 Be4+ wins for Black. 26... Qxf3+ 27.Be2 Qxf6 28.g5! Qg7 29.Qxd4 Rxf7?! Panic, with only 53 seconds left to reach move 40. 29...Bc3 was strong. 30.exf7+ Qxf7 31.Rc1 Rb8 32.a4? A crazy attempt to use up most of Ivanchuk’s remaining 27 seconds and win on time. Ivanchuk stays cool and finds the forced win. 32...Qb3+ 33.Rc2 Qb1+ 34.Rc1 Qb3+ 35.Rc2 Rc8! 36.Bc4+ bxc4 37.Qd5+ Kf8 38.Qd7 Re8 0-1

It’s jack time again and as I haven’t yet landed a big one I’m pretty keen for a try. Where do you get them and how? Every month a fishing mag comes out with a local guy chatting about fishing the Tweed, river and off shore; his name Rodrick Warmsley and he is the skipper of the charter boat ‘Are You for Reel, cool name (the boat). Rodrick is the man on the Tweed and you will see photos of him with some very big jacks caught here and he doesn’t mind telling you where and how to catch them. A couple of weeks ago I pedaled the hobie up to ‘Are You for Reel’ and luckily Rodrick was on board about to head out. He told me you can catch jacks off any rock wall in the Tweed, under and around Boyds Bay Bridge, Oxley Cove, Fingal wall, the blue hole wall; when you think about it there are walls everywhere.

It’s hard casting lures in the dark so trawling might be a good option. Walls? Let’s hit ’em! My neighbours Pete and Jayden Kyvetos have been at it again. The boys recently discovered the gravel patch and after watching a mate’s video they went at it with a vengeance. Pete caught three in a row, tied up against the shore line under the bridge; something weird – he reckons he saw a ferret hiding in amongst the rocks; strange stuff. It was Jayden’s day; he managed to land a 60cm–plus lizard – his biggest yet. His dad tells me he had fun getting it into the net as it wouldn’t fit; the head was too big. Eventually Jayden netted the perfect pannie (pan-size fish) and I believe a few other neighbours had fresh fish that night. Well done Jayden ‘The Lizard King’.

National Affordable Housing Summit Group, of which ACOSS is a member, on the panel. Professor Julian Disney,
Chair of The Summit Group; Adrian Pisarski, from National Shelter; and Carol Croce from the Community Housing Federation of Australia, have a wealth of knowledge and accumulated experience in this field. ‘We congratulate the government for bringing such a diverse collective of experts together, spanning the community housing sector, private financial institutions, and tenants’ organisations. ‘What’s also needed is for serious action to minimise inefficient investments encouraged under Australia’s tax system, which is contributing to our stratospheric housing costs and leading to more people seeking public housing. ‘The
tax system encourages people to borrow and invest too much in property, especially at the top end of the market. ‘The low rate of tax on capital gains and the ability of taxpayers to deduct their investment losses against their wages were rightly targeted by the Henry Report. ‘Reforms in these areas could be linked to well-targeted incentives to invest in new affordable housing. ‘We need to find innova-
tive ways to boost the supply of social housing for people in need if we are to prevent more people becoming homeless, and to have any chance of meeting the shortfall of around 150,000 social housing homes by 2020. ‘For far too long the social housing system has been inadequate and we urge state governments of all political persuasion to work together with the Commonwealth on this crucial reform.’

Gold Coast legal eagle and shameless media tart Bill Potts made some interesting observations when he spoke to an Echo reporter this week. He suggested that many of the NSW working girls who regularly flow across the border to cash in on Gold Coast sporting events could be prosecuted for false advertising. He said they often advertised themselves – in a clear breach of the Federal Trade Practices Act – as a ‘21-year-old leggy stunner when 45-year-old veteran was closer to the truth’.

A new species of freshwater fish appears to be thriving in the upper reaches of the Tweed River. Two sizeable silver perch were caught earlier this month in separate streams which flow into the Tweed. Native to the Murray-Darling system out west, the perch are believed to have escaped from private farm dams that overflowed during flooding last summer. Let’s hope the Australian bass population can stand up to the competition. ■ ■ ■ ■
Katie Milne and Joan van Lieshout have something in common, despite Cr Milne voting for her long-time adversary Phil Youngbutt for deputy mayor rather than the more environmentally moderate candidate Cr van Lieshout. Now both are championing the push to have a popularly elected mayor in the shire, with Cr Milne putting up a notice of motion on the issue. It will be interesting to see if they support each other during any debate on the subject seeing as Cr Milne topped the last council election vote. ■ ■ ■ ■

Environmental activists Scott Sledge and Danielle Voinot quipped they can ‘no longer claim to be Tweed’s most famous road painters’ after the District Court in Lismore on Tuesday this week upheld their appeal against a conviction by a Byron Bay magistrate for malicious damage (graffiti) related to alleged slogan painting on a 30 km stretch of Kyogle Road during the 2009 world rally. Mr Sledge said Judge Black overturned the convictions because of insufficient evidence. ‘It’s vindicated our long fight; it’s important people aren’t convicted for their political beliefs’.

Mr Kane told the rally that council was trying to do the same thing with the controversial caravan and housing estate developments that had sparked such a community outcry. ‘We know that Resort Corp no longer exists so they wouldn’t have finished this,’ he said, suggesting locals would have been once again shut out of public land for nothing. He was cheered when he said the community had rallied, ‘council was sacked and we kept the park’. Photo Luis Feliu
