Ell named over ‘shocking’ illegal clearing Upper House Greens MP Cate Faehrmann says suspicion has turned to the developer as the one responsible for excavating Blacks Creek and removing trees along its banks despite its protected status. Staff reporters
Billionaire developer Bob Ell has been named in parliament in connection with ‘a shocking case’ of illegal vegetation clearing within the Cudgen Nature Reserve. Upper House Greens MP Cate Faehrmann says suspicion has turned to the developer as the one responsible for excavating Blacks Creek and removing trees along its banks despite its protected status. She says if guilty, the property mogul should be hit with ‘the most severe penalty available’ to act as a serious deterrent.
Scathing attack In a scathing attack, Ms Faehrmann said Mr Ell and his Leda group had a past history of illegal clearing and used intimidation and bullying tactics against people to get their way. She said a dossier which Leda selectively leaked to the media recently named people it considered hurdles to their two satellite cities planned for Kings Forest and Cobaki Lakes. ‘It is understood that some people were targeted simply because they made submissions during the public consultation process,’ she said of the 74-page dossier containing claims of an anti-development conspiracy. The document was given to councillors and government MPs last month following a public outcry over the extent of the clearing in the nature reserve adjoining the 1,000ha Kings Forest property, as reported by The Echo. The dossier contains sweeping allegations against Greens councillors,
consultants, and senior council planning staff and government agencies, including National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS), which has been involved in a prolonged investigation into the clearing since it was reported in July, but has remained tightlipped ever since, despite repeated requests from The Echo for comment. Ms Faehrmann told parliament an onsite inspection revealed that about 300 metres of vegetation had been cleared within the nature reserve on the banks of the creek, the creek dredged and soil spread across the cleared bank ‘in flagrant defiance of its status as a habitat for threatened species. ‘The vegetation removed also represents the loss of 0.4 hectares of what may be an endangered ecological community, swamp sclerophyll forest on coastal floodplains, which is protected under the NSW Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995,’ she said. Ms Faehrmann said it was apparent the work was undertaken by one or more machines entering from Leda’s Kings Forest property, which provided the obvious access to the adjoining reserve. She said the former state government gave Leda approval for 4,000 homes to be built on the Kings Forest site, despite its high conservation value, strong community opposition and the developer’s history of illegal vegetation clearing. Ms Faehrmann said in November 2007 the Gold Coast council obtained court orders directing companies owned by Mr Ell to revegetate major portions of a 100ha holding which
was illegally cleared at Pimpama. ‘As well as the recorded conviction for illegal clearing, Bob Ell has a reputation for getting away with many other instances of native vegetation clearing and habitat destruction,’ she said.
‘Once discovered, with legal pressure and the assistance of compliant consultants, he has managed to obtain retrospective approvals under dubious excuses and loopholes.’ She cited an instance at Mr Ell’s Cobaki Lakes development where Leda cleared a stand of old-growth scribbly gum and then had a consultant state that the trees were dangerous to human health. She said on another occasion he excavated a section of Blacks Creek
on the Kings Forest site through a state wetland claiming it was merely ‘drain clearing’ (see page 2). On both occasions his claims and excuses were accepted by Tweed Shire Council. Ms Faehrmann asked whether the recent clearing within the Cudgen Nature Reserve was a repeat offence. ‘Is it an example of a developer clearing vegetation from public land with the highest level of continued on page 2
Fingal Head Coastcare honoured
Fingal Head Coastcare members are celebrating a statewide award for rehabilitation work. The group won a Community Involvement Award at the NSW Coastal Conference last week. In the picture above Rosie Lomas, vice-captain of Fingal Head Public School, who has worked with Fingal Head Coastcare for six years, takes a breather on the headland as Coastcare president Kay Bolton and vicepresident Kate McKenzie look on. ‘We’re very happy with the award,’ said Kay Bolton.
The group has been operating for over 20 years, regenerating local dunes and forests. Ms Bolton said the Fingal group could be one of the oldest dune care groups in NSW. ‘Fingal Head has also been shortlisted (which means we’ve won a place) in the NSW Northern River Keep Australia Beautiful Awards in the categories of Community Involvement (of course) and Overall Clean Beach Challenge,’ she said.

Leda a repeat offender inquiry found Staff reporters
An inquiry which triggered Tweed Shire Council’s sacking in 2005 was critical of activities on Leda’s huge Kings Forest property which apparently went unpunished by authorities, including the pro-development council. Inquiry head Maurice Daly said in his report that the Department of Environment outlined concerns about the council’s failure to take steps to stop ‘illegal clearing’ of the site. He said the department spoke of its numerous submissions to both council and to Leda identifying the natural, scientific and cultural values of the land and advising that it had issued interim protection orders over the site. ‘Despite this, the department had become aware of further actions involving draining of sensitive wetlands and the clearing of threatened species habitat,’ Professor Daly said. ‘The department suggested delays on the part of the council in dealing with their concerns.’ Prof Daly cited evidence from a senior departmental officer who discovered that Leda was draining wetlands and had felled up to 80 native trees during an on-site inspection. He also released an email

ATTENTION HOME OWNERS, FARMERS, GARDENERS, POOL OWNERS AND LAWN LOVERS
The banks of Blacks Creek in Cudgen Nature Reserve, adjacent to the Kings Forest development site, have been illegally cleared and replanted with exotic grasses. Inset: Weathering the storm: billionaire developer Bob Ell, pictured at the Cobaki site just after his concept plan for the massive subdivision was approved late last year, has been named in parliament in relation to the clearing.
outlining another officer’s concerns about the activities sent to the council chief planner, Noel Hodges, who later quit his post and worked as one of Leda’s consultants. The officer told him that while Leda might argue existing use rights, it didn’t detract from the fact that the drainage works were likely to adversely impact on the wetlands eco systems by ‘significant changes’ to the hydrology. In an addendum to his second report, Prof Daly released
more than 30 photographs taken on the site showing fallen koala-habitat trees, and bulldozers at work in wetland areas. He said even after the council had been sacked, it had come to his attention that similar clearing work was continuing. Neither the council nor the department could say if any action was later taken against the company but Leda has slammed Prof Daly’s comments and attacked one of the
officers who gave evidence. In its dossier sent to the council last month, Leda claimed that Prof Daly had never bothered to obtain evidence from the company. It dismissed the evidence given by one of the officers as ‘completely at odds with the facts.’ ‘Central to the inquiry’s findings detrimental to Leda has been the false, misleading and damaging evidence given by the department,’ the unauthored document claimed.
Inquiry likely into Leda’s complaints – mayor Mayor Barry Longland says an independent expert is likely to be appointed to examine whether Leda’s complaints about council planning staff have any validity. Cr Longland said he believed both Leda and the majority of Tweed councillors supported someone from outside council taking a look at both sides of the argument. He said he expected a former departmental bureaucrat or retired council general manager to conduct the probe, rather than the inquiry being undertaken by the Department of Local Government. The investigation could be similar to the 2001 probe into Tweed Shire Council planners by NSW Planning Department investigator Robert Bulford.
Mr Bulford examined complaints by the former owner of Kings Forest, Narui, against the council’s former chief planner David Broyd, eventually finding there had been no bias in the council’s planning department. Last week council general manager Mike Rayner met with local government minister Don Page in Sydney to give council’s side of the current dispute with Leda. Mr Rayner reported to councillors that his meeting with Mr Page was ‘productive’. Later that same day, representatives of Leda also visited Mr Page to voice their concerns about ‘green’ bias by planning staff. Mr Longland said any inquiry would hear both sides of the story. ‘Leda believe they have
grievances but equally our planning staff have their own story to tell,’ said Cr Longland ‘Our planners have their own version of their dealings with Leda and how they have been treated by Leda. Councillors are all in favour of a process to bring about a resolution to Leda’s claims. That may well involve thirdparty mediation.’ Cr Longland said he didn’t believe the department’s Independent Hearing and Assessment Panel, similar to that which replaced the disgraced Wollongong City Council planning unit, was the appropriate body to carry out the mediation. Leda’s regional manager Reg Van Rij refused to comment on reports that he wants Tweed shire planning staff removed from the approvals process.

that can be written off as just another cost of doing business.’ Ms Faehrmann said parliament should consider changing the law to ensure that developers with a history of non-compliance with planning and environment laws are precluded from further development approvals. www.tweedecho.com.au

Oversized beachfront home approved Steve Spencer
A controversial plan to redevelop an old block of flats into a three-storey home on the Hastings Point beachfront which breaches height and setback rules has been approved by Tweed Shire Council. Locals fear the approval will create a precedent leading to more mega ‘McMansion’ style homes in the village.
Passionately against Several councillors spoke passionately against the project, which involves a block of flats being gutted and renovated to create a three-storey home at 26 Tweed Coast Road, but to no avail. Council planners recommended approval, despite the building being 0.5m higher than allowed by the village’s development control plan (DCP).
It also breaches council’s coastal setback regulations, being 2.5 metres from the boundary rather than the required eight metres. But planners were swayed by its status as an existing building and the potential of a successful Land and Environment Court challenge if the project was rejected. There is also an even larger home next door. Council staff sent letters to 45 neighbours and received seven submissions objecting to the reconstruction, which would see workmen demolish most of the interior of the block of flats, leaving the exterior walls as a framework for the new home. Mayor Barry Longland, who opposed the plan with Crs Katie Milne and Joan van Lieshout, said the hard work done to create a DCP for the village was being
‘trashed at the first hurdle’. Cr Longland warned councillors that other Hastings Point property owners were waiting for the project’s approval so they could seek to build similar-sized homes. ‘What happens when the next project comes along? Let’s stand firm,’ said Cr Longland.
Controversial The mayor said it was ironic that a controversial big house next door which had been the impetus for the DCP was now being used to justify the new mansion. Cr van Lieshout, who championed the Hasting Point DCP’s two-storey height limit, said the building’s length, height and setback all breached the DCP and should be redesigned. But Cr Dot Holdom backed the council planning staff, say-
ing she had been asked to assess the building on its merits. ‘I know other applicants are waiting for this to be approved. I’m trying to be even-handed and not to be prejudiced,’ she 6 x Totara said.

Wild dog attacks near Murwillumbah raise MP fears Steve Spencer
A recent wild dog attack on a pet dog near Murwillumbah has raised fears in state parliament that a child could soon become a victim, and the government has been asked what it’s doing about the growing problem. MLC Walt Secord asked last week if the primary industries department was aware of packs of wild dogs killing pets and terrifying families near Murwillumbah (see The Echo, October 16) and what the government was doing to eradicate the threat. ‘This is a very serious matter and the state government must help eradicate the wild dogs in the area. The state governwww.tweedecho.com.au
ment must act before someone gets hurt,’ he said. ‘Make no mistake, this is a public safety matter.’ Mr Secord asked coalition leader in the Upper House, Duncan Gay, if he was aware of the attack by a pack of feral dogs on a household pet on a property at Reserve Creek, east of Murwillumbah, and what action was being taken by government agencies to address the threat to pets, livestock and people in the area. He also asked what resources has the department provided for wild dog eradication in this area this year and if the area had a wild dog control plan. The family affected by the attack has welcomed the issue being raised in parliament.
Kim Puntigam, who lives at Reserve Creek with four young grandchildren, said ‘now we have to keep our eye on the kids all the time’. The family dog Jazz was mauled to death in the attack. ‘We used to warn my grand-
children to watch out for snakes but now we tell them to look out for bad dogs.’ Another Reserve Creek landowner, Laurie Peterson, said a pack of dogs recently savaged several sheep just west of Pottsville.

It’s simple – all you do is slick back your hair, wear tight trousers, Cuban heels, put on lots of deodorant (and take some spare shirts). You can learn from Dancing with the Stars on telly – that’s how I did it – or go to classes. If you’re hopeless – and you probably will be – play the sympathy card and ask one of the girls for some private tuition. Before you know it you’ll be an expert. You’ll probably end up on TV as a dance partner with a celebrity – and in no time at all, you’ll need security guards to keep the women away.

Library takeover branded ‘a shameful failure’ Luis Feliu
The former head of the Richmond Tweed Regional Library (RTRL) has hit out at a ‘malicious gossip’ campaign against him by some Tweed shire councillors and staff he says is aimed at improperly influencing the impending decision on the library service’s future management. In a passionate address to Tweed Shire Council’s access meeting last Thursday, Martin Field highlighted how the service had become one of the most cost-effective, efficient and high-performing library services in the state during his 14-year term as director before Lismore City Council made a controversial move to take it over last year.
TSC backs takeover That move is on hold after some of the four regional councils rejected it or decided to explore other options to run the service, with new state legislation now in place allowing it. Tweed council has supported the takeover in principle.
Tweed Office p 07 5536 6111 f 07 5536 6112 10/69 Wharf St, Tweed Heads NSW 2485
Mr Field told councillors he had to correct the ‘disgraceful and scurrilous’ allegations about the operations and investment practices of the service while he was its director, saying they were ‘always and invariably in line’ with local government rules and regulations. He said at the time, the public had access to his quarterly investment statements, also given to the councils, through the RTRL’s website until Lismore Council ‘quite improperly removed them because they showed up Lismore’s subsequent very poor financial performance’. ‘I believe this disgraceful slander has arisen because it is a fact that the RTRL investments often performed better than Lismore City Council’s investments. ‘Since Lismore took over, there have been no quarterly statements whatsoever; Tweed shire is being very remiss in requiring no proper accounting whatsoever for the nearly $2 million in library funds it hands to Lismore every year.’ Mr Field said Lismore was

As far as the management of the library service is concerned, it is failing shamefully. Telling lies to slander Costs may rise the efficient and cost-effective ‘Is Tweed shire aware that Lis- RTRL won’t help.’ more has already warned that it may make a charge for running the RTRL? Just a charge of five per cent would be $250,000 pa. ‘Is Tweed shire aware of a large increase in staff costs when RTRL staff are transferred to the Lismore salary scheme? After over 18 months staff are still waiting for this transfer. ‘Is Tweed shire aware that casual staff costs at RTRL have increased by more than 30 per cent because of Lismore inefficiencies in replacing staff who are leaving and because Lismore insists on using an expensive Lismore employment failing to pay Tweed and the two other councils of the RTRL the full benefits of the service’s total investments. ‘Over $30,000 was lost in the first year alone from this source. Lismore itself has estimated a shortfall of $40,000 in the current financial year. Why are Tweed Shire councillors so complacent about throwing away $30–40,000 every year?’ he asked.

military presence in Australia. Given that we already host what are euphemistically called ‘joint facilities’ run by the Americans and for the Americans as key elements in their intelligence -gathering and communication networks, this may appear no more than a natural extension of policies which have been in place for many years. But there is a qualitative difference. The purpose of the earlier installations was a general one: the enhancement of American military power, certainly, but with no specific target in mind. The new buildup of forces in the Pacific has a single and clearly defined purpose: to counter and contain what is seen as the threat of Chinese dominance in the area. John Howard used to say that we did not have to choose between our history and our geography, by which he meant that we could maintain our European identity while developing as a middle-sized Asian economic power. This was pretty naïve even in the last century;

6 November 17, 2011 The Tweed Shire Echo
there were times when our ability to straddle the barbed-wire fence was severely tested. We have been, and still are, shut out of some of the innermost councils of our neighbours simply because we are not seen as a fully committed partner in the region. And now, as the rivalry between the United States and China is set to become the determining geopolitical influence of our time, the necessity
<echowebsection=Comment>
for choice is becoming more urgent. Gillard, in what sounds depressingly like a reprise of the Howard position, says that there is nothing to stop us being both an ally of America and a friend of China. Well, actually there are two things that may stop us: America and China. Fortunately both countries are currently controlled by relatively benign administrations, but this need not always be the case. A seriously belligerent regime in either Beijing or Washington could raise the temperature considerably. The prospect of any direct military conflict between the two is, of course, remote; but this does not mean that there will not be misunderstandings, tensions and even the occasional skirmish. Taiwan remains a potential flashpoint; North Korea is a serious worry; India and China have never really settled their border differences. Any of these issues, or something completely unexpected, could trigger a standoff be-
tween the two great powers. In any circumstances it would be hard for Australia to stay neutral. But as an ally – Gillard’s word – with the ability to deploy American troops from Australian bases, neutrality would not be an available option. Like it or not, we would be part of the action. And one of the first things we would be required to do is to stop trading with China, at least in strategic materials such as iron ore, coal and gas. So phut goes the trade balance and probably the entire economy with it. This is the downside of Gillard’s position. The upside? Well, perhaps more security for Australia, but security from whom? From China, presumably. So we are not really treating China as a friend after all, but as a potential enemy. This is the only sensible interpretation of allowing Australia to be used as a forward base for a contingency operation aimed at China. And it is one that Beijing is unlikely to miss. Thus Australia, however keen it portrays itself to continue the trading relationship, will be seen as potentially unreliable, subject always to the larger context in which it has involved itself. There is a Kikuyu proverb: when elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers. True enough, and if the grass just happens to be in the way, there’s not a lot the grass can do to help itself. But it at least has the sense not to ask one of the elephants to make it part of the battleground. Perhaps the time will come when we really do have to make the big choice, and when we do both history and self-interest suggest that, for the next decade at least, it will probably be for America. But to pre-empt it as Gillard has done looks less like statesmanship than subservience.

I applaud council for their diligence in representing our shire’s ratepayers. And how refreshing to have our mayor, Barry Longland, stand up to bullying in the interests of his constituents. Both governments and council reports are on the public record for all to view. I invite the developer to put their dossiers on the public record. Considering the behaviour of the developer and that I have reviewed much of the documentation on the public record I would welcome a Section 430 investigation as I am sure the many good people in council would. It is time to move forward from raping our landscape and natural resource assets and ad hoc development. L Smith

■ While far from original, Reg
Van Rij’s call for an inquiry into Tweed Shire Council is probably the most community-minded thought he’s ever had. Such an inquiry could investigate the years of almost nightly truck movements, gunshots, and trail bike racing in an acknowledged koala habitat and reported by adjacent landowners, which preceded the former government’s approval of Leda’s Kings Forest Development. It could investigate why the state planning authorities apparently overlooked the few complaints council did raise in relation to both Kings Forest and Cobaki Lakes in regards to roads and kerbing,
environmental buffer zones, stormwater recycling and dual reticulation, adequate koala habitat protection and the breaching of the Tweed’s minimum block size. An inquiry might also be interested in how the current series of ‘secret’ Leda reports, with defamatory implications to both councillors and staff, closely resemble similar fictions raised by the former owners of Kings Forest. It might also ask why council planners have recommended approval of a current Hastings Point DA which clearly breaches the newly adopted DCP; why a councillor was allowed to vote on issues in which a close relative held a clear pecuniary interest; why council has, for years, allowed de facto four-storey development in Kingscliff ’s Marine Parade where a three-storey limit applies; why council flushed close to $1 million out to sea in stop-gap, antierosion measures at Kingscliff without first determining the cause of the erosion; and whether the council planning staff who tacitly recommended approval of 45 extra homes at the Noble Park retirement park in Kingscliff (later overturned by both the Regional Planning Panel and the Land and Environment Court) should be allowed to reconsider a current revamped DA which is almost identical but with 12 fewer units. The internal and external pressure for those staff to justify their original decision is unlikely to contribute to a fair and equitable outcome. And, if it has time, an inquiry might consider why both the state and council flood and erosion zones for the Tweed Coast seem to miraculously deviate whenever a developer
takes an interest in beachfront land. In fact, if you ask ‘Why?’ about almost any aspect of current council behaviour, an inquiry is probably warranted. Finally, Reg’s mother should have told him that clichés such as ‘Beware what you wish for’ become clichés because they are usually true. Jeremy Cornford

What a stark contrast to see our council staff receive the highest honour a council can receive in the same week they are subjected to a further ‘report’ on their alleged blocking tactics of the Leda developments. On the one hand, a peer reviewed accolade clearly awarded on merit, on the other, an anonymous ‘report’ prepared on how the largest developer in our shire, who aspires to bring us two new towns on greenfield sites, has been required to fulfill legisla-
■
tive requirements by the very same council staff (and isn’t happy about it). To Mr Connell and all at council we say thank you. Thank you for requiring what is required by law. Thank you for acting to fulfill the requirements of the EP&A Act which are accepted to be written in the public interest. Thank you for taking action at the coalface to attempt to ensure the best possible outcome is reached for the public interest while trying to accommodate the landowner’s wishes. Thank you for your transparency. Thank you for taking on this thankless role. The Tweed is a better place for your actions. To the author of the socalled report, we say, it is the legislation you need to turn your attention to if you do not like the requirements asked of you.

News/Letters McDonald’s bites into M’bah market Submissions close tomorrow, Friday, for a development application for a new McDonald’s fast-food outlet in Murwillumbah on the old Norco site at Tweed Valley Way. The former milk factory on the old highway will be demolished to make way for the town’s latest fast-food outlet, while nearer to the centre of town, a building is going up to house a new Centrelink office. Centrelink will move into the new office block being built next to the Come Alive Gym in Wollumbin Street. The building, costing $1.75 million, should be ready to open by the middle of next year. A Medicare telephone claiming service will also be
available at the office. Construction has already begun on the site, which was previously owned by the Tweed council and used as a car park. A McDonald’s fast food sign will soon greet motorists arriving in town from the north. The site will also house a IGA supermarket and the complex is expected to employ about 140 people. With few shops in South Murwillumbah, it will also give locals less reason to drive into the CBD. Shoppers may also get the bonus of more competition and perhaps a price war with the well-established Coles supermarket. Council had previously rejected a larger supermarket on the site.

Don’t take deadly risks says Michael Story & photo Albert Elzinga
During a recent health promotion seminar at Tweed Heads Civic Centre, the story of a Ballina man whose everyday life was destroyed in an instant, rendered a room full of teenagers utterly silent. The heart-wrenching story was Michael Buttenshaw’s, who, as an unlicensed teenager, got behind the wheel of a car drunk and stoned after a party and crashed, injuring two young girls in the process. Michael suffered massive head injuries and was given little hope of survival when he arrived at Lismore Base Hospital in 1989. He spent two months in a coma and ultimately lost the use of his left arm and leg. To this day, Michael has trouble with balance, memory and speech and only has 40 per cent lung capacity. Michael shared his story with around 1,000 year-11 students from local high schools and made a big impression on his audience. Michael’s story was a stark reminder of what can happen when teenagers’ invincibility takes control and their bravado becomes their biggest enemy.

RRISK seminars have been
held on the North Coast since 1999 and initially involved just 300 students from nine high schools. The program now travels from Tweed Heads to Port Macquarie and reaches thousands of students about to get their driving licences. The NSW Motor Accident Authority gathered data from 2002 until 2006 and its evaluation demonstrated RRISK positively influenced students’ attitudes, behaviour and knowledge. Organisers said RRISK was successful because it was relevant to adolescents and complemented schools’ curriculums.

This is not an occasional thing, it’s commonplace, it happens all the time. If I slip a few bucks to an official to look the other way while I do something shonky, both the official and I could go to jail, but if I slip the same few bucks into the electoral funds it’s tax deductible and the whole political set-up is on my side. This is the way it’s done in every democracy in the world although a few, notably Canada, have movements promoting the benefits of abolishing the electoral funds, making it illegal to donate to a political party and having taxpayerfunded elections.

The full picture
The International Energy Agency, known for its conservative outlook, warned recently that if the world does not rapidly change its energy infrastructure, we will lose forever the chance to avoid dangerous climate change. Polluting infrastructure (eg electricity generators) lock us into emissions for decades. To avoid dangerous climate change, we have a fixed carbon budget which we must not overshoot. Existing infrastructure accounts for 80 per cent of that budget. At currents trends, by 2017 the world will have enough polluting infrastructure to account for 100 per cent of our carbon budget. We face an emergency. The carbon price legislation
is good, but is only a first and inadequate step. The legislation as it stands all but guarantees building the emissions-intensive infrastructure the IAE warns against. Australia has the ability to switch to 100 per cent renewable energy within 10 years, but to do so the public must demand it against the might of a powerful business lobby. The challenge of climate change gets bigger by the day. Our emissions are now worse than the worst-case scenario predicted in 2007. If we don’t fix this, it won’t just be a few extra storms and heatwaves we’ll cop: it could bring down civilisation itself. If you have young children, all this would happen in their lifetimes, not in some far off future.

AUSTRALIAN ETHICAL PROFILE: FOOD CONNECT SYDNEY Food Connect Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide all use Australian Ethical as their default super fund for employees. Food Connect Sydney aims to make ethically grown food from local farmers accessible to any household in Sydney. Food Connect is based on the principles of community-supported agriculture, an increasingly popular type of community food system that links regional growers directly with city people seeking fresh, organic and chemical-free fruit and vegetables. Enterprise coordinator Julian Lee founded Food Connect Sydney in early 2010 following his experiences as a biodynamic gardener in the Hunter Valley. He saw a need to offer farmers a better deal and to give consumers an opportunity to learn more about who grows their food and how it is grown. Instead of being solely profit driven, Food Connect Sydney is paying farmers fairly (40 cents out of each $1 of purchased produce), reducing environmental impact by sourcing produce locally and seasonally, and focusing their profits on feeding Sydney’s less fortunate through wholesale donations to other charities.
and carbon footprints associated with mainstream and supermarket channels of food distribution. It is based on the successful business model developed by Food Connect Brisbane that has been in operation for six years. There is also a Food Connect in Adelaide. Find out what will be filling the weekly produce box on the Food Connect website: www.foodconnect.com.au. See the Australian Ethical ad in the Letters section.

ROOFTOP GARDEN FIRST OF ITS KIND FOR AUSTRALIA Paving the way for rooftop gardens across Australia, Serene Living’s Serene Living is the first over-55s development on the Gold Coast to feature a rooftop garden of this scale: over a quarter of an acre of perfectly manicured, landscaped gardens. Complete with organic vegetable gardens and blossoming trees, the spacious rooftop sanctuary features three deluxe barbeque areas, ample lounge chairs, comfortable seating and shaded picnic areas, complemented by the panoramic, picturesque views of the Tweed surrounds. Green Roofs Australia President Sidonie Carpenter says rooftop gardens like the one to be developed at Serene Living are the future for leading property developers on the Gold Coast and Australiawide. ‘It is great to see green roofs being designed for specific applications and in the case of Serene Living the social and physical needs of the residents,’ said Mrs Carpenter. ‘This has obviously generated a greater interest in unit sales to become the

fastest-selling over 55s development in Australia. I congratulate Serene Living and see them as leaders in the Australian Green Roof industry.’ The theme of the garden will centre around natural beauty highlighted by a flourishing mix of 2000 individual plants. These will include native and nonindigenous shade trees, shrubs and flowering plants to provide colour against the deep green hedges, including hibiscus, banksias, birds of paradise, magnolia little gem, blueberry ash and even olive trees. The garden will create a subtropical sensory experience for residents with the perfect combination of flora and fauna, emulating a natural yet dreamlike environment. Plants like bottlebrush and hibiscus will be utilised to attract a mixture of native and exotic birdlife such as rainbow lorikeets, wood doves and rose-breasted cockatoos creating a relaxing and tranquil, natural environment for residents. Serene Living director Ben Fuller said the inspiration for the garden oasis was to create a place that would add joy to the residents’ daily life. ‘This garden is designed to be a retreat for residents where they can sit back and relax in one of many reclining lounge chairs with a favourite book, play a game of cards with a friend under one of the four pergola-covered retreats, or potter around in the vegetable gardens,’ Mr Fuller said. ‘We spent a lot of time in the research and development of this garden and enlisted the help of leading landscape architects to ensure that our residents can enjoy the best of the best.’ Serene Living comprises one plus study (which can double as a second bedroom), two and three bedroom ensuite apartments with generous balcony spaces. To find out more visit the display located in a green building on Florence Street next to the Tweed Heads Bowls Club greens.

1. Lisa Bonet, Will Smith and Our Rusty prove that it’s not good news to know inside information about the murder of a senator in the thriller Enemy Of The State (Prime, Saturday, 8.30pm). It reflects Americans’ growing unrest with their own security agencies. Paranoia is the new black. 2. Based on the novel by Sarah Waters, set against the turbulent backdrop of 40s London, The Night Watch (ABC1, Sunday, 8.30pm) tells the stories of four young people inextricably linked by their wartime experiences. As air raid sirens wail, they find an invisible arena in which to explore their sexuality. Social conventions have been broken down and Kay, Helen, Viv and Duncan enjoy a freedom never experienced before as they engage in secret liaisons and passionate trysts. But post-war victory is bitter sweet, for it returns them to the margins of society from which they hoped they had been liberated. In order to build their future they must each make peace with the past.

Channel 9 (NBN, Gem and Go!) is the worst offender – they frequently change their prime-time movies and other shows just before screening, and Channel 7 (Prime7, 7two and 7mate) is not much better.

It’s all in his Fingaz
Flyfingaz was born in the late 70s with a solemn oath to Uncle Jam, – to continue to offer friends of planet Earth conversion from war and poverty of the mind into the unlimited dimension of bliss known as ‘Funkadelia’. It involves befriending the angels and demons and simply gettin’ down and nasty with the funkiest rounds in Funkland.
FLYFINGAZ As captain of KIRRA KITE THURSDAY, Getyourfreakinfunkon BABALOU FRIDAY Turntable Alliance, he is well equipped for travel to, and exploration of this funkified dimension. Fresh and flowing with phat powerpacked beats ‘n’ breaks, deep driving superfunky basslines, and a delicious blend of oldskool funk, blues, dub ‘n’ hiphop. A special delivery of crazy lyricists, tribal escapades, rock riffs, jazzy jives ‘n’ rasta vibez. All sauced up wid vocals ‘n’ melodies to put the cherry on your cream.
Catch Flyfingaz cookin’ up stir-fry funk deluxe at his favourite gourmet kitschon... Swingin’ Safari. You’ll can also find him codriving the Essence Projectile bus with the infamous Tigerlily, persuading demonic bottle worms with the Tijuana Cartel, and quirking on rare groovisms at circuses and festivals nationwide. In stealth persuit of dancing feet and generally crankin’ the musical atmosphere around the land of Oz. Kirra Kite Festival Thursday, Babalou Kingscliff Friday.

DIRECTIONS IN GROOVE (DIG) CURRUMBIN SOUNDLOUNGE FRIDAY
Directions in Groove (DIG) is a multi-awardwinning band from Sydney. DIG emerged from Sydney’s happening club scene in the early 90s. The band began with a residency at Kinselas. The audience grew exponentially week by week, leading to a self-financed recording which became the largest-selling Australian EP up until that time. It contained the hit Re-invent Yourself. Touring soon followed and DIG attracted large crowds. DIG signed to Polygram (Universal) and released the album Deeper on ID in Australia and Verve Forecast internationally. The album debuted at #6 nationally and soon earned gold status. Deepers most played tracks were The Favourite, Dreamtime and the rereleased remix of Re-Invent Yourself. All three were played in high rotation on 2JJJ. DIG crossed over into the mainstream with their mix of jazz/dance/old school funk and electronica.

THE ETHICAL DILEMMA FESTIVAL Right now the good folk at Woodford Festival are in a major ethical dilemma. According to the Sunshine Coast Daily, it was the Queensland Folk Federation on behalf of The Dreaming, a celebration of indigenous performance, art and culture, who accepted $225,000 necessary for the Dreaming event to continue. Without the funding this important Australian cultural event won’t happen. Problem is, the board have accepted the bucks from Santos, and I’m not talking about our local purveyors of nori rolls and ear candles; I’m talking about the mining giant, Santos. And, incidentally, considering that in August this year they posted a net profit on their website of $504 million, for a half year,
It is no doubt that those in the know at Woodford have watched the growing public outcry around CSG with nervous disbelief. The wave of public support for this issue is unprecedented. It’s not often that Alan Jones and the Farmers Federation share the same side of the fence as left-wing militant hippies. This speaks to the underlying ethos of the anti-coal-seam gas Lock The Gate movement. This is not a radical group. This is mainstream Australia. Not even hippy-haters want their water sources made toxic for generations to come.
80 or more environmentally focused speakers in the Greenhouse program knowing that the same board that probably once voted for the inclusion of such a forward thinking program also voted to accept the donation from Santos.
Corporations don’t just give money because they are benevolent capitalists who have suddenly woken one day having a crisis of conscience. Corporations use their money to buy association with values and brands that will benefit them in the marketplace. Clearly, having their cash accepted by Australia’s most publicly environmentally focused festival is a win for Santos. While hippies and straighties may unite in their bid to Lock the Gate on CSG, come A spokesperson for the Jinibara Nation, the traditional custodians of the Woodfordia site, said Woodford Fest, if they are enjoying The Dreaming Festival (once separate but now incorporated in it was his view that major corporations should the Woodford program) then they owe a debt of be contributing to Aboriginal communities. And rightly so. It seems only fair that mining companies gratitude to the corporation that has previously been demonised as Dr Evil. should dig deep into those dusty, uranium-filled pockets and contribute towards projects and You don’t have to be an ethics professor to infrastructure for Indigenous communities. realise that Woodford are up to their necks in But here’s the rub: Woodford is a festival that has long been associated with environmental values where the broader community gets to experience a week-long, utopian-like village of inclusive, amazing and vibrant counterculture. Why, it was here that the coal-seam gas lobby first started. It’s hard to sit back and enjoy the
some very stinky shit. And aren’t we all? Remind yourself of our daily moral transgressions: we drive petrol guzzling cars emblazoned with the manufacturer’s logos, we enjoy bargain clothes made by third-world children in sweatshops, and it’s hard to fine someone who’s not addicted to technologies like the iPhone which, created in a
fair workplace, would end up costing something like $12,000 per unit. We are all guilty. The Woodford situation puts us in an ethical dilemma as well. You see, we all love Woodford. People plan their year around going there. Now we all have to check in with our own personal moral compass about whether attending a festival that has accepted buckeroonies from a company involved with CSG exploration and extraction is personally right or wrong. I am torn between my passionate politics and my loyalty to a beloved event. You see, Woodford Festival, you overlooked something about your incredibly diverse demographic of mothers and fathers and children and grandparents: these people from so many different cultures share one commonality – they are all highly ethical people. I don’t think they’ll go. Which is sad, because something like that could kill Woodford. It’s ironic, isn’t it, that in the pursuit of coal-seam gas it’s not just our water supply that is poisoned, but possibly the country’s most well-loved festival? Collateral damage. So here is the dilemma that faced Woodford Festival and the Queensland Folk Federation in a nutshell: To Lock the Gate on Santos meant to close the doors on The Dreaming Festival. So what, my energy-sucking friends, should we do now? By all means lock the gate, but let’s make sure that Woodford’s gate stays open.

Inside the studio door One of Australia’s most popular artists is about to reveal all at Tweed River Art Gallery.
Robert Hannaford: Open Studio will be on display at Tweed River Art Gallery from Friday November 18. Robert Hannaford: Open Studio showcases the distinguished career of one of Australia’s most popular artists, incorporating rarely or neverexhibited work including sketch books, working drawings, maquettes, landscape, portrait and Robert Hannaford’s portrait of Bradley Hannaford figure studies and finished paintings. The exhibition is designed thematically to reflect the diversity of the artist’s interests, as well as the evolution of his practice across a lifetime. Themes of the exhibition include family, youth and age, portraits and self-portraits, nature, landscapes and the human figure, as well as some of Robert’s many commissions.
‘I wanted to draw what I saw from the first time I was a lad. What I saw fascinated me’, says Robert. ‘I still experience the enthusiasm and excitement for painting and nature I felt as a child’. The exhibition is curated by John Neylon, an

Adelaide-based independent art writer and curator, and author of Robert Hannaford: Natural Eye published by Wakefield Press in 2007. Neylon sees the exhibition as a special opportunity for people to gain a unique insight into the life and studio practice of this naturally talented and successful national artist. Robert Hannaford: Open Studio takes viewers behind the scenes and into the artist’s studio. For the artist, his studio is a physical space, the ‘engine room’ in which works of art are produced, and also a personal space, a way of imagining, thinking and working, inspired by the great studio traditions of western art. In a professional career spanning more than 35 years, Hannaford has undertaken numerous private portrait and significant public commissions. His practice extends across a broad range of genres including landscape, the human figure, nature studies and still life in a diversity of media: oil painting, ink, pencil and charcoal sketching, watercolour and sculpture.

GEMINI: While your perceptions are spot on, exercise extreme tact and diplomacy in presenting them, because this week even perfectly normal people could suddenly morph into Basil Fawlty and take insult, offence and umbrage. Late week’s your best bet for travel, legal matters and pacifying squabbles. CANCER: This week benefits from self examination, but don’t they all. If you find fault with something, use those critical faculties to examine your part in the drama with the aim of auto-improvement rather than self blame. Late week’s positively bubbling with bucketloads of delightful socialising.

by Ian Rogers Play at Seagulls Club, Thurs 6pm The worries in Athens seemed remote as many top grandmasters contested the European Teams Championship in the Greek beach resort of Porto Carras, on the Halkidiki peninsula. In the main hotel’s Olympicsize hall, a world away from the boarded-up shops of Athens, the local Greek team provided much needed cheer for their compatriots by challenging for the top places for much of the event. In contrast, top seeds Russia managed to fail yet again at a major team tournament. Proving once again that a team of champions does not constitute a champion team, Russia fielded a team exclusively of top 20 players and lost to Azerbaijan and Bulgaria. The upending of the form book at such an important event tends to support the theory that the difference between the world’s elite and the rest is relatively small but is hard to change due to the few opportunities the up-and-comers have to challenge the established order. In the following game Greece’s

When fishing gets spooky
David Solano
I don’t often get spooked on the yak but on the weekend it happened twice. I know the river holds its fair share of bull sharks; I reckon though if a shark; has a go at me, he’ll take out the yak first. I’m sure they are not smart enough to think ‘I’ll knock that bloke out and then eat him’, so there’s not really a worry – only when they want to share your catch. Saturday morning I was pedalling past the jew hole headed downriver, it was around 4.15am, no sun but light enough to see. I was pedalling away when right next to my hand toe or three feet away a dolphin surfaced and did a loud ‘Ssssshhhh!’ It scared the jeepers out of me. Normally they don’t get so close; I do see them often but Saturday they came over to check me out, two of them, a couple no doubt as they were canoodling and, after swimming up close eyeballing me, off they went with the tide. Two lovers taking a walk? After the initial fright it really was a pleasure having these

beautiful creatures next to me. Did I name them? Yes – Popeye and Olive Oil. The next scary moment happened Sunday morning, Terranora flats, floating with the tide fishing the shallow water changing between a surface popper and a lightly rigged soft plastic. As the weed stopped I’d change to the sinking plastic to fish the sand; something kept grabbing at my lure, really aggressive bites, but they weren’t committing themselves. All I could see were big silver flashes; what is this, surely not whiting. Finally I jagged one and boy I haven’t seen anything like it. My line ripped through the water so quickly that weed flew up into the air. I just hung on to my rod while this fish went in every direction with amazing speed. This is not normal, what is this?

lip gripper yet on the end of my line was the biggest long tom I have ever seen, about one metre long, as thick as my arm, and a beak and jaws that looked like a miniature croc. There was no way I was gonna throw that puppy in the yak between my legs; I was quite happy to break my line and bid him farewell. I had all intentions of pedalling by the jew hole on Saturday morning. When I got there around 4am the tide had stopped; it was low, no wind, no one around. Maybe just 15 minutes. Well it paid off: I caught two nice schoolies one after the other What goes against all the rules is I’ve been catching these fish on 1/12 oz jug heads with 2/0 hooks rigged with a tiny gulp prawn; smaybe they are like me and find the smaller prawn; taste better. PS: I caught a fish I’ve never seen in the river before. Any clues as to its identity? 20:03

Carbon pricing puts focus on green & affordable housing challenge The passing of the carbon pricing legislation through federal parliament will see the future cost of energy become an accelerating market force driving a new generation of green homes and renovations throughout Australia, according to architecture advice group Archicentre. Archicentre general manager David Hallett said the need for home owners to reduce the energy consumption of their homes is also likely to see an increase in architect designed homes and renovations to maximise savings and improve lifestyle environments. ‘Good environmental design that starts at the planning stage is the foundation of creating a home which is comfortable to live in and protects home owners against increasing energy and water costs. ‘Good housing design can also create a valuable asset when the home is sold with sustainable homes likely to become increasingly attractive to the market.’ Mr Hallett said that at an early stage planning for better use of materials in construction, improved orientation of buildings to maximise solar energy and lessening the use of air conditioners and heaters in homes can make a major impact on energy costs and property value. ‘We also expect to see an increasing return to the use of the traditional eave in future housing design. ‘Historically the eave or verandah was a fundamental part of Australian homes; however, in the last decade its removal for the sake of fashion and cost has seen the building of thousands of homes poorly equipped to cope with climate-change demands such as increasing temperatures and storms. ‘The use of eaves in homes has a major impact on a property’s sustainability by increasing wa-

The zero house (pictured above) was designed designed by architect Scott Specht. It’s completely green, automatic and self-sufficient. Its wide roof holds the solar panels which power the entire house. The house holds its water in a 2700-gallon roof cistern, and the sheer weight of all that liquid pushes water through the plumbing. When you flush the toilets, it all ends up in a compost container in the basement, which digests all that stuff organically, relieving you of attaching your abode to any sewage pipes. The cost? About $350K to say goodbye to civilisation. (Source. Gizmodo) ter harvesting potential, providing valuable shade over windows and walls, keeping homes cooler in summer and conserving power. ‘Eaves also offer the added protection to the interior of the home from flooding that can result from concealed gutters. ‘The best advice for home owners and home buyers is to run the green ruler over the property to ensure that it can be improved in a cost-effective way to deliver an optimal environmental outcome. ‘One of the biggest issues is changing people’s behaviour and attitudes to how they manage resources in their homes and workplaces. The simple task of placing a desk near a window in the home office could see natural light being used rather than full-time lighting being required. ‘Just wearing cooler clothes in
summer in the home could see the air-conditioner used less to save money on energy bills. Closing curtains or internal blinds over windows on predicted hot days can also keep the home cool.’ See more at www.archicentre. com.au.

Where’re our wheelie big bins? Good to see the burghers across the border now have the option to upsize their recycling bins, free, as part of a six-month promotion. The move was in response to residents asking for the service and statistics indicating larger bins encouraged greater recycling efforts. Brisbane City Council already provides the larger bins, which has apparently boosted the volume of material recovered by 10 per cent, which is an awful lot less ending up in landfills. The stats tells us also that around a quarter of materials that end up in domestic waste bins could be recycled.

Northern Rivers Guardians (NRG), as members of the national Lock the Gate Alliance, are urging concerned locals to write to their super funds or banks and any other financial institution warning them that if they’re involved in the coalseam gas (CSG) industry, they will take their business away (or divest). An NRG spokesman said the campaign hoped to use ethical investment to force mining companies to become sustainable, telling them investment must consider social and environmental factors in a triple bottom line approach. Such letters, we’re told, could have a strong impact on the future, and indeed letters from the NRG recently forced Australian Ethical Investments to divest its stake in Origin Energy because of concerns about CSG. The potential for CSG mining to destroy air and water quality and damage agriculture and the environment is just too big to ignore. Sample letters are available at http:// northernriversguardians.org/. ■ ■ ■ ■

A breeding adult osprey from the Kingscliff Coast Guard tower nest carries a fish to the nest with fishing tackle still attached. Wildlife carers are begging fishers and anglers to take care of their lines after a breeding female eastern osprey had to be euthanased by veterinary staff at Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary recently. The bird, from a nest on the coast guard tower at Kingscliff, had suffered pain and starvation for weeks from fishing line tangled round her foot before she was finally caught. Faye Hill, coordinator of the Tweed Osprey Group, said Tweed Valley Wildlife Carers receive around 80 reports each year of fishing line entanglement suffered by wildlife including eastern ospreys, turtles, sea-eagles, and flying foxes who encounter the lines caught in trees near popular fishing spots.

When the 76-year-old deputy mayor moved to support extending the Tweed River Regional Museum, Cr Polglase suggested ‘museums are for putting old things in, and you are heading that way’.

error which council corrected later by informing them of the elementary mistake. As a result council extended the exhibition period, and so they should have. Park owner Keith Noble has launched his third attempt to build homes on part of a lake foreshore which most residents want retained as open bushland, but this time cutting the number of proposed homes from 45 to 32 in a move which takes the decision away from the Joint Regional Planning Panel and gives it to council. The panel had unanimously rejected Mr Noble’s original plans as being an overdevelopment of the site.

The Center for Biological Diversity (CBD) gives out the award every year to the worst of the worst, those in a category of their own for their monumental opposition to the environment, imperilled wildlife and our long-term prospects for a healthy planet. If the CBD had looked outside the US it could have found a few candidates for the award in Oz. ■ ■ ■ ■
Here are some of them, devastated since carbon price legislation passed through the senate last week. Backburner compassionately gives them one last gasp of air. Cardinal Pell: ‘If only religious texts written two thousand years ago had mentioned climate change I might believe it.’ Local letter writers: ‘You cannot have too much carbon dioxide. The more CO2 there is, the more oxygen is produced by plants.’ Viscount Monckton of Brenchley: ‘The polar ice is not melting. People inside the Arctic Circle are mistaken, and you don’t hear anyone from Antarctica complaining about it.’ Tony Abbott: ‘It’s all crap, but if we have to do something let’s spend billions of taxpayers’ money on ineffective schemes.’ The Australian: ‘Ninety five per cent of climate scientists may agree on global warming but that’s just because they want to keep their government grants.’ Loonies’ corner is now closed.
