Controversial township gets the nod Ken Sapwell

Millionaire property developer Peter van Lieshout has won a three-year fight to create a new hinterland township in the shadow of Mt Warning despite a massive backlash from surrounding villages. Tweed Shire councillors rejected demands from more than 500 residents to refuse the controversial development during a highly charged meeting called after a Land and Environment Court judge threatened to intervene. Acting Mayor Barry Longland was forced to order protestors to be cleared from the public gallery after they unleashed a tirade of abuse aimed at councillors who voted against his motion to refuse the so-called eco-village development near Kunghur. Two of the councillors who were targets of accusations of ‘shameful’, ‘disgusting’ and ‘horrific’ conduct left the chamber while one of only two supporters of the proposal, Jim Warburton, sought refuge in the chamber after claiming he had been jostled by opponents. Pandemonium erupted after Cr Longland and Greens’ councillor Katie Milne’s move to refuse approval for what will be Tweed’s first new hinterland town in a century failed to win the support of fellow community councillor Dot Holdom and pro-development councillors Phil Youngblutt, Kevin Skinner and Warren Polglase.

Mr van Lieshout, a local Liberal Party organiser, also came under fire over alleged tree clearing. His wife, mayor Joan van Lieshout, was ineligible to vote but still sent a formal apology for her non-attendance. After more than two hours of debate the council voted four-two to approve the Nightcap village concept plan, designed to house up to 1,000 people in two and three-storey villas on a 3,000-acre site that includes a hotel, conference centre, backpackers and shops, but with a slew of new conditions, including a ban on ferrets, goats and horses. This week’s extraordinary meeting was called following a warning from the court to make a decision just days after the council voted unanimously to delay approval while it weighed a raft of objections, mainly relating to the development’s isolation, size and sustainability. Commissioner of the court, former NSW Liberal Party state minister Tim Moore, who earlier this year inspected Mr van Lieshout’s property, told the council to act quickly or he would take the matter out of its hands. Uki Residents’ Association spokesman, Phil Carr, told council in an address it was clear that surrounding communities were overwhelmingly against building a suburbia in the middle of an area more biodiverse than Kakadu. ‘We should not fear the court – it’s part of the planning process and even if it costs (money) it’s the price you

Letting shadows tell a story

Luis Feliu Photo Jeff Dawson Elenor Sapir’s passion for shadow puppetry has a genetic string to it. Elenor, (pictured) of Murwillumbah, is a member of ‘Puppeteers Without Borders,’ an organisation dedicated to education through puppetry and founded in France by her mother, Erica Sapir. Shadow Puppet Theatre is the oldest form of motion picture story telling. Its origins lie in prehistory, prior to written language. Over the past few weeks, Elenor has been running weekly workshops in teaching children how to make a simple but effective puppet show. The workshops will culminate in a performance at the Ukitopia Youth Arts Festival on May 16 at the Uki Sports Ground clubhouse. The ‘shadows’ will tell their stories between 2 and 3pm.

have to pay for proper outcomes,’ he said. Two residents living near the property questioned Mr van Lieshout’s environmental credentials, alleging that he had bulldozed and burnt koala food trees and replanted other varieties four years ago, with complaints to the council going unheeded. Mr van Lieshout yesterday admitted felling a ‘few hundred’ trees during a noxious weed clearing opera-

Elenor grew up making puppets and performing puppet shows, but in her adult life chose a musical path. After completing a degree in music she ventured into writing and performing songs. In 2004 Elenor started Epiphany Arts, a communal performing arts event at Stokers Siding, which proved popular over its four-year run. In recent years Elenor has travelled back and forth between Europe and Australia with her family, performing abroad with her husband in their duo, Tupenny Opera. Elenor returned from a long stay in France last year, where she had again joined her mother in the world of puppetry. While in France she designed and prepared a shadow puppet show which mum Erica performed at an international AIDS conference in Mexico City. She also worked with Erica in puppetry workshops in local schools. For further info on the workshops call Elenor on 02 6672 3245.

Other speakers raised concerns over the impact of an extra 4,500 cars on local roads, its isolation from services and predictions it would become home for drug users moving between Brisbane and Nimbin. They also questioned whether future residents would fulfill financial obligations to maintain a high-tech

onsite sewage treatment plant and the impact on the shire’s drinking water if a plant failure resulted in pollution of the nearby Tweed River. Cr Polglase moved to defuse the issue by inserting a new condition requiring Mr van Lieshout to put up a $200,000 bank guarantee to cover the costs if residents failed to put enough into a sinking fund to maintain the plant and other infrastructure. continued on page 2

Local News Advice from the Chief Product Tester G’Day – This week I thought I’d tell you about what to do when some uninvited guests pop in – like it happened to us two weeks ago... There we were having a quiet night at home and without any word of warning they popped in. Trouble is they popped into the shop in the middle of the night to do a spot of shopping. And guess what – they didn’t even pay and even let themselves in (cost us a bit for the repairs). They must have had some class because they selected Keen shoes, tents, binoculars, lights, batteries, torches – even the computer. They must be going on one helluva camping trip because they took a few thousand dollars worth. No doubt they’ll call back to pay for the gear once they ﬁnd out how good it is. But I hope they don’t wait till the gear wears out – we’ll never see them! Anyhow, they made a choice and at the end of the day my friends – karma will get them – guaranteed! So when uninvited guests drop in, give them a surprise I say. Like a big Doberman waiting to greet them (and they can watch it later on the remote video system), or perhaps a few gentle volts when they walk inside. Catch ya soon... Your mate, Tony.

Hobbies galore at seniors expo One of Australia’s best known actors, Noeline Browne (pictured), who has been appointed Australia’s first Ambassador for Ageing, will help celebrate Tweed Seniors Expo’s 10th birthday on May 21. The Logie-award-winning actor started her career in 1962 and will be known by many for her roles in The Mavis Brampton Show, The Naked Vicar Show, Blankety Blanks and more recently on the TV series Dancing with the Stars. The 70year-old also recently appeared in the film Razzle Dazzle and has written her autobiography, Longterm Memoir. The Federal Government created the Ambassador for Ageing role last year with the aim of ensuring that older Australians have a strong voice, a direct link into government and a person to promote positive and active ageing. The Tweed Seniors Expo will be held from 9am till 3pm on Thursday, May 21, at the Seventh Day Adventist Centre, Racecourse Road, Murwillumbah. The expo will feature more than 100 stalls, information sessions and workshops promoting health and services information, entertainment, recreation and hobbies and products aimed at seniors.

Seniors will be on song at the Seniors Expo too, with performances by the recorder ensemble La Fontanella. The group began through the Lismore/ Alstonville University of the Third Age (U3A) over 10

years ago and has an extensive repertoire.

Mrs Dow said seniors looking for a new hobby will have no shortage of options including Sailability, miniature railways, radio control yachts, gardening, woodwork, motor homes, spinning and weaving and cake decorating.

Nightcap gets the nod

He said it was important to avoid a similar fiasco which occurred at the failed Tanglewood estate near Cabarita when the council had to foot the bill for infrastructure maintenance when residents’ coffers ran dry. But more hardline conditions put forward by Crs Milne and Longland, including halving the population cap, extending buffer zones beside the Tweed River and imposing a two-storey limit, were rejected 4-2.

sues mitigating against it, but planners warned that his proposed amendments could see the council fighting the case in court. Other new conditions imposed included ones by Cr Holdom that ferrets, rabbits and ‘hooved animals’ join cats and dogs on a list of banned animals and that street signs carry Aboriginal names with translations beneath. A bid by Cr Milne to impose penalty infringement notices on residents who don’t comply with any of the 200 conditions

attached to the approval, with a quarter of the cost to be paid by the community association, won the backing of only Cr Longland. Only two speakers were in favour of the project. One of them, Jim Warburton, was booed and hissed from the gallery when he described the concept village as a ‘showcase of conservation’. Mr van Lieshout said that while he could do without some of the new conditions, he was prepared to abide by them. www.tweedecho.com.au

Rally takes on Speed on Tweed Luis Feliu

Murwillumbah’s newly-elected business chamber has urged the community to support the resurrected Festival of Speed on Tweed in September so it can be run again in following years. Repco Rally Australia (RRA) last week announced it would underwrite the popular classic-car event this year, as part of the proposed staging of the world rally championship through the Tweed in September. Speed on Tweed organisers pulled the plug on the historic-racing-car event last year after running it one last time, saying they did not have the resources to continue. Rally organisers are yet to lodge a development application (DA) for the controversial rally, which has drawn flak from residents throughout

the Tweed including Kingscliff, where the pit-stop area is planned to be established for a month, as well as those living along some of the suggested routes in the heart of the valley. At a Murwillumbah and District Business Chamber breakfast meeting on Tuesday, newly-elected president Toni Zuschke said the town was devastated to lose the event last year but was now thrilled it was being revived by RRA. But Ms Zuschke, who was on the Speed on Tweed organising committee for five years, said the RRA-backed event this year was a stand-alone one and the community had to get behind it in other years in order for it to continue. Rally Australia general manager Gary Upson told the business breakfast the rally had provided the opportunity

for the iconic Speed on Tweed event to be revived as a joint venture between RRA and Murwillumbah Rotary Club, to be run September 5-6. Mr Upson said the temporary CBD circuit would also be used on three nights as a special stage by competitors in the world rally championship round from September 3-6. The nearby soccer field would be transformed into as a ‘centrepiece’ for both motoring events with marquees and grandstands. He said that despite the ‘hammering’ the rally was getting from ‘a small but vocal part of the community’, there were many opportunities for business to make money. Murwillumbah lawyer and Rotarian, Tony Smith, said the involvement of the rally with the Speed on Tweed was an ‘absolute positive for the town’ which would ‘put it on the map’

and spark more interest from locals. ‘If Speed on Tweed thought the world rally championship was detrimental to the town we would not support it or lend our name to it,’ he said. Local resident Jim Warburton urged rally organisers to counter bad publicity from ‘a small minority’, by promoting pro-environmental activities such as tree planting. He said many people were ‘unsure’ of the need for the rally to use roads in national parks and rally organisers could do more on the pro-environment front. Mr Upson replied that environmental impacts were ‘very, very minimal’. He said the event needed 700 tonnes of carbon credits to offset carbon emissions and organisers were looking at various options to achieve this.

Controlling youth anger is his aim

Former champion boxer Peter Gauge of Dungay (pictured above) is on a mission to control teenage anger, aggression and violence. Peter, 41, wants young people not to deny their rage but to channel it into something

safe like the fitness training he is offering he calls ‘Boxation’, a combination of no-contact boxing training together with yoga, circuit training, core stability and gentle stretching. He wants to teach Tweed teenagers how to keep their

cool and keep their anger and aggression under wraps through his fitness training classes every Monday from 6pm-7pm at Uki Public School, starting next Monday, May 11. Peter says anger is a natural emotion. ‘When children and teenagers are taught anger is wrong and shouldn’t be feeling it, they will have a difficult time dealing with their anger as adults.’ he said. ‘When anger is “owned” and expressed through boxing or martial arts or yoga, etc the anger doesn’t own them. Anger that is continually repressed becomes rage, aggression and violence towards others or equally hurtful to oneself. Anger then turns from a natural emotion to an unnatural one.’ Peter competed in 75 fights in his 23-year-long amateur boxing career in the light welterweight class throughout UK and Europe and was West of England champion 20 years ago for several years. ‘When a child is angry and not dealing with it appropriately, the parent usually becomes angry about the child being angry and this is where the trouble starts, the child is crying out for help, not more anger. The an-

Petition circulating against rally A petition against the planned world rally has been doing the rounds of the Tweed. Under the banner of No Rally Group, scores of locals have united to campaign against the rally. More than 350 Tweed residents have signed petitions to the state government and Tweed Shire Council after a series of public meetings at Uki, Kingscliff and Kyogle calling on Council to refuse permission for the rally to be held in Tweed Shire. www.tweedecho.com.au

Kingscliff retired resort owner Scott Sledge said residents were concerned about the adverse impacts the rally would have on the Tweed’s reputation as a tourism destination. ‘People from all walks of life, backgrounds and age groups have joined together because of a commitment to the Tweed area and its unique environment. We don’t see a need to give up our quiet lifestyles for the amusement of international car hoons. The economy

will benefit much more from smaller participation events,’ he said. ‘How can we believe that this car crash race will benefit us financially? It didn’t work in WA. We believe that the State Government has been hoodwinked by the organisers. We hope that Council will have the courage to refuse the imposition of this outdated “sport” brought to us by friends in high places. ‘It is a poisoned chalice,’ he said.

ger then becomes resentment through misunderstanding, aggression and so on. ‘Just because our parents and their parents were taught to repress their natural feelings doesn’t mean we have to.’ Cost of the classes is $15 for adults, $10 for children. For info call Peter on 0421 920 616.

Tweed Shire councillors wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be facing any more rowdy public meetings in the lead up to the budget under changes to the community consultation process which were quietly introduced earlier this year. Instead, the process will be more tightly managed with invited community and business groups this week given varying time slots to voice concerns about this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed $166 million budget and management plan. The radical policy shift spares new councillors from the often hostile and volatile opposition to pending rate rises which their predecessors traditionally endured. It has received a mixed reaction. Former mayor and re-elected councillor Warren Polglase says councillors should be prepared to stand up and face their critics in an open public forum rather than hear from individual groups on an invitation-only basis. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Most people who get up and speak at the public meetings have genuine concerns and councillors should not be frightened of copping one or two on the chin,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said the veteran councillor. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The new system favours community groups who prob-

ably represent less than two per cent of the total population.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; But another veteran councillor Dot Holdom says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an improvement on the old public meetings which often degenerated into non-constructive council-bashing exercises, with those with the loudest voice drowning out others. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;This way we can have an informal chat and take on board ideas which are worthy of research and further consultation,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; she said. Deputy Mayor Barry Longland says it was only his intention to streamline the way the council consulted with community groups over the management plan when he won unanimous support for the move earlier in the year. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Previously the council attempted to meet with up to 23 groups on their home turf in a period of 28 days and it was a bit of an ask. I thought it would be more efficient if we could set aside a day where they could sit down with us.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Cr Longland, a former president of the Uki Residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association, said he was unaware the change involved axing the often well-attended but firey public forums in the Murwillumbah and Tweed Heads civic centres. Former community councillor Ron Cooper says the coun-

cilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going down the wrong track by ditching the public meetings. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I think the council should use its newsletter to inform the community of the key elements of the management plan to stimulate a bit of interest in the wider community,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he said. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The meetings are a bit difficult to organise but should be attempted. At the moment they seem to be just picking off the ones they think might be the most noisy but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re leaving out the broader community.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Corporate services direc-

tor Troy Green said 20 of the 23 groups had attended â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;feedbackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sessions with councillors and staff on Tuesday where their views were listened to but not documented. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We make it very clear that they, along with everyone else, must make a written submission,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he said. Mr Green said those chosen were â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;groups who made persistent representations to the councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and those left off the list could still make their submissions at community access meetings.

Koala-friendly development urged Koala activist Jenny Hayes wants the proposed new township at Kings Forest to be modelled on the award-winning Koala Beach residential development at Pottsville. Ms Hayes, president of the newly formed organisation, Team Koala, believes the bushland estate by deceased developer Brian Ray shows that humans and koalas can happily coexist if a few basic planning initiatives are taken. She said koala-friendly aspects of Koala Beach that should be replicated included a ban on cats and dogs, better fencing and larger house blocks to encourage the growth of food trees.

She said the current concept plan for Kings Forest fragmented wildlife corridors which were essential for the koalasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; survival. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just the population at Kings Forest, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only about 15 in there, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quadruple this number that move through this corridor, where a major four-lane access road is to go,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; she said. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;This is our last chance to save our koala population and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important that we get the planning right.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Ms Hayesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; organisation was among those which were not invited to make a submission to Tweed Shire Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s management plan this week.

Local history book to be launched

A group of enthusiastic amateur historians will launch their book depicting the European history and settlement of the Kingscliff area at a function on Saturday, May 16. The Kingscliff History Book Group, a subcommittee of the Tweed Heads Historical Society, compiled pictures and material for the 70-page pictorial book Between River and Sea, subtitled ‘Historical Images of Kingscliff, Chinderah and Cudgen’, over several years. Three hundred copies of the book have been printed and many locals new and old are expected to buy a copy. Group member Colleen Hewitson said the launch, to be held on May 16 at 10am at Kingscliff Amenities Hall, would coincide with the naming of a park at South Kingscliff in honour of a pioneer surveyor Robert Dixon (18001858). Mrs Hewitson said Dixon, as surveyor in charge of the Moreton Bay district, led an exploratory party south along the coast from Brisbane to the mouth of the Richmond River in 1840. He named several places such as Fingal Head and Norries Head at Bogangar. Group member Robert Longhurst said the area’s South Sea Island population made up a large labour force for the Kingscliff, Chinderah and Cudgen area and ‘there were very few communities like this in NSW’. Mrs Hewitson said the history group had lots of fun compiling the book which doubled up as ‘a social occasion Doris Maddon (left), Colleen Hewitson and Robert Longhurst admire for us as well’. their history group’s work.

Action aplenty at skate comp The annual Beachside Skate Comp at Cabarita skate park this Saturday, May 9, is set to draw another big crowd of skate fans young and old. Californian skating celebrity David Reasbeck returns for the popular family fun day event and in the leadup to the comp he will visit local high schools to speak about the sport and the event. He travels the world helping communities with Skate Outreaches. The skate comp, which began in 2006 and is hosted by Beachside Church, Pottsville, and supported by Tweed Shire Council and many local businesses, was introduced to address the needs of local youth by providing a quality event that supported their sport of choice. It aims to give local skaters the chance to experience skating at a competitive level and

to lift the profile of skateboard riding locally. Competition entry is $8 and there are categories for each age group with skate products as main prizes. Music, food and drinks are available at the park. Bring a chair and shade and join in on the fun. This year sees the introduction of the ‘Skate Shop Super Jam’ where local skate shops Pharside Skate (Murwillumbah), Concrete Lines (Tweed Heads), Home (Pottsville) and Truckstop SK8 (Ballina) will match their expertise and skills.

Kevin is messing with our minds Volume 1 #35

May 7, 2009

Decision will haunt us Councillorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; majority approval on Tuesday night of a controversial new township of 430 homes and around 1,000 people at Kunghur despite overwhelming public opposition flies in the face of common sense and good planning. The four councillors who gave it the green light appeared to have fallen for the threat of the Land and Environment Court commisioner Tim Moore to decide quickly or he would decide for them. So much for court-sponsored â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;mediationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Those four councillors should have rejected the project, as proposed, and awaited â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and strenuously defended â&#x20AC;&#x201C; whatever legal challenge might ensue.

Keep it unspoilt Developers will obviously be upset by Tweed Shire Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent decision to bring in new planning controls which restrict the height and densities of future buildings in Hastings Point. But they have been living on borrowed time ever since the council decided to consider a two storey height limit for the village in 1996. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been an enduring mystery to many why subsequent councils and even the administrators have backed away from implementing planning controls similar to those protecting the character of much larger coastal villages. The delays have left the doors open to bulky developments which are inappropriate for the town and are contributing to an ecological disaster unfolding in Cudgera and Christies creeks. Residents now have the backing of council-commissioned urban design consultants and chief planner Vince Connell. More importantly, they have a newly elected council which is willing for the first time in 13 years to take the residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; concerns on board and act accordingly. The controls will protect the unique amenity of the seaside village whose relatively unspoilt beauty is a magnet for holiday-makers and people looking for a sea-change. Developers should recognise the controls will make the village an even more desirable destination and that well-designed homes enjoying creek or ocean frontages will generate more profits than their signature box-like walk-up unit blocks smothering every permissible inch of land. A few kilometres down the road at Pottsville such homes are fetching millions.

uring the 2007 election campaign Kevin Rudd announced that he planned to have a bit of fun messing with John Howardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mind. As became clear on polling day, few voters begrudged Kevin07 this harmless diversion; indeed, the majority laughed along with him. But two years later they could be forgiven for having their doubts; perhaps they should have stopped him while there was still time. The Prime Minister now seems to enjoy messing with the collective mind of the entire electorate. It was never going to be easy to explain that the best way to deal with a downturn caused at least partly by profligate spending and lack of saving and investment was by handing out money. Orthodox economists applauded the prompt stimulus, but it still defied commonsense, especially after Treasurer Wayne Swan started talking about the need for a harsh and unpopular budget. The problem was compounded when Rudd followed up by announcing the biggest infrastructure program in history, $43 billion for a broadband network. Doubters were quickly directed to the fine print: this was not all going to be government spending, the private sector was to be involved as well. In fact the government might be up for a mere $22 billion or so. And in any case once the network was up and running the government would sell its share, so in a sense it shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be counted as public spending at all. But if it was, it was good public spending because it created infrastructure and therefore jobs. Not entirely convinced, the punters resumed listening to Swan and Finance Minister

Lindsay Tanner warning of the hard times ahead and the need for swingeing cuts and draconian discipline â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and then Rudd unveiled a defence program which involved spending squillions on imported weaponry to deal with a situation which might or might not occur some 20 years in the future. In the meantime, Swan explained, there would not be

The electorate remains on side, but it could be forgiven for feeling a tad confused, and confusion can only lead to dismay, and thence to rejection. by Mungo MacCallum enough small change to pay for intravenous cancer treatments, dole payments for the growing numbers of unemployed would remain well below the poverty line and even the promised tax cuts, already enshrined in legislation could not be guaranteed. Faced with this seemingly unfathomable paradox, the voters sat down to wait for next Tuesday, when all will presumably be made clear. It better be; Malcolm Turnbull has already latched on to what he calls Ruddâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jekyll and Hyde approach, and while it has so far failed to stick, Rudd just keeps on giving him ammunition. The electorate remains on side, but it could be forgiven for feeling a tad confused, and confusion can only lead to dismay, and thence to rejection. Australians donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like having their minds messed with. Of course, some are pretty mixed up already.

spring instantly to mind. But has there ever been a less likely candidate for popular acclaim than the late unlamented Richard Pratt? This is a man who stole â&#x20AC;&#x201C; yes, stole â&#x20AC;&#x201C; hundreds of millions from ordinary Australians to finance one of the most selfindulgent lifestyles of the century. And he admitted it: when he died he was facing criminal charges which the prosecution

was sure would be proven, and were withdrawn purely because there was no point in pursuing them when his death was imminent. He and his packaging company presided over the worst case of price fixing in Australian history; he was a crook on a scale far exceeding Christopher Skase, or even Alan Bond. But while those two were rightly considered public enemies, there is a powerful movement to rehabilitate Pratt as a hero of the people, a movement that includes show biz stars, business moguls, religious leaders and two former prime ministers. This attempt at not just forgiveness but canonisation apparently stems from two ideas. The first is that from humble beginnings, Pratt rose to become very rich and powerful. Yes, and so did Attila the Hun, but he remains unloved. The second is that Pratt was a philanthropist, and indeed he gave a small fraction of his loot to various charities. In this he

followed the Columbian drug lord Pablo Escobar, but while Escobar gave to the poor, Pratt was more inclined to subsidise the hobbies of the rich. It must be doubted that too many of those who paid extra for the cardboard around their cornflakes were regular patrons of Opera Australia. It should be noted that, when finally sprung, Pratt returned his Order of Australia; now his claque of devotees want it back, to cancel any shred of remorse the corporate criminal might have exhibited. This is in sharp contrast to their eagerness to strip the honours from another fallen idol, the former Judge Marcus Einfeld. Einfeld was rightly jailed for perjury and other offences, but in material terms the damage he inflicted on the public was very small; compared to the depredations of Pratt it was unnoticeable. Einfeld, too, did a great many praiseworthy things in his life; he was formerly regarded as a living national treasure. But none of the famous and powerful who gave him the accolade want to know him today. In particular the Jewish establishment, so unstinting in its embrace of Pratt, has dumped Einfeld like a stale pork sausage. Perhaps it is because he was not as enthusiastic and generous a supporter of the zionist cause as Pratt, and he was less charismatic in other ways; his mistress was not as glamorous as Prattâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and of course, he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t die of cancer. But it is hard not to suspect that the real difference is simply that he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have as much money, even if a lot of Prattâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really belonged to other people. Wealth may not buy happiness, or even votes, but you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t beat it if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re after instant adulation.

Rally proposal The speed at which the NSW government seems to aim to destroy the remaining natural and environmental surrounds of the Tweed seems synonymous now with their dealings with the speed driven Repco rally. I could not envisage such a speed driven rally being authorised through the Queensland Daintree or the promenade in Cairns dug up and turned into a rally pit maintenance area. However, the heritage listed environmental areas of the Tweed and the foreshore areas of Kingscliff seem of little significance and community value to those in southern government and I fear some in local government. Should the rally sadly become a rubber stamped foregone conclusion, as rally organisers seem to be promoting, I offer an alternative to the use of the Kingscliff foreshore parkland. We have alternative prominent beachfront and creek front land available close to Kingscliff and land that has been set aside to be used for as I feel an equally distasteful commercial enterprise as it stands. I refer to beachfront crown reserve trust (peoples) land Lot 490 now removed from councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s control. I am sure the Lands Department (Leightonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; glove puppet as it might seem) could work with its other government authorities and facilitate the part use

Development confusion reigns Tweed Coast Vet An article in a Gold Coast newspaper on April 24 is of grave concern. Statements in the article indicate the developers and agent have been led up the garden path, or itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a blatant con to seduce investors. Queries confirm a bulky goods project at Boyds Bay Garden World has not been granted preliminary council approval. If the developers and agent did a little research, they will find the sewage and employment land strategies for Tweed Shire were signed off on March 17, giving crucial information contrary to their claims. The fact is the sewage plant at West Tweed is to be rebuilt. A Crown reserve the developer and agent wish to include in the mixed-use estate with residential, light industry, showroom and office components, is deleted from the strategy due to environmental and airport constraints. These strategies were not

dreamt up overnight. They are our strategic planning tools to drive sustainable development for the next 25-30 years. They have evolved from a very lengthy, extensive consultation process with the professional expertise of our council staff and others. The developer states, it â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;is committed, but there is a potential for the company to be scared off if the council delays. It could walk away and spend millions elsewhereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. This is simply bully boy stuff, ie. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give me what I want Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take my bat and ball and go homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The agent states that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;we have the owners lined up, the developers, the councillors, the state and federal governments, and we have hit a snag with the council.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; My inquiries reveal councillors, at least not all, are in fact not lined up. There is a whole raft of legislation prohibiting such proposals on the Crown

of Lot 490 for this race event. Or might I ask would the longterm noise and area disruption be offensive or distasteful to Leightons and their planned commercially crammed socalled â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;eco- resortâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on the public beachfront lands at Lot 490 along Casuarina Way? The race event pit area could be part of the eco-resortâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long term beach and creek area 20 year plan. Being along Casuarina Way the pit area on Lot 490 (but not beach area Lot 489) would be ideally located to Salt and also Kingscliff by road, walkways and cycleway while offering convenience to the eco resort visitors and contributing a future late night ambience and sound setting as to our natural environmental regions for the commercial eco-resort and its visitors to appreciate and encompass. Rally organisers could possibly clear areas and locate there this year and do follow up restoration as already likewise planned at Kingscliff. The use of the lot 490 could be a side by side, win-win situation for two corporate manipu-

lators and bringers of so-called good fortune and long-term riches to the Tweed area. It is wise to be aware of monetary gods and their offerings seeking the long term use of public lands.

I am writing regarding your article of April 23 about the Byangum Landcare site. There was one important omission: this site is non-chemical, and it is the reason for the loyalty of many of the participants. This site is a prototype, to test the theory that chemicals are not necessary in bush regeneration. This is a highly disputed idea I know, but this site is a glorious example of the efficacy of perserverance and elbow grease. Yes, we have a very long way to go, but if anyone out there is interested in the idea of no chemicals, come along on the first Saturday of the month, opposite Boulder Close, Kyogle Road, at 8am.

The first lesson in the getting of Wisdom, and for understanding the great Con, is to ask what type of person benefits most from the cultivation of fear; whether the fear is of hell, god, drugs, crims, reds. greens, pollution, pedophiles, economic collapse, illegal immigration, terrorism, foreigners, bikers, poofters, prostitutes, pandemics or whatever, and claims the skill and knowledge needed to protect the fearful for a pay-back.

reserve. Is the agent suggesting the federal government is going to turn a blind eye to the laws or legislation that are in place for airport safety operations to protect passengers and humans on the ground? The agentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s statement that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the state government is happy to give council a small parcel of land behind the airportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to relocate the sewage works is real news and certainly didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come to light in the sewage strategy. The agent then states their â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;masterplan fits in exactly with councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parametersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and that a recent meeting he attended with council and government officers â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;saw all parties agreeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; that the current licencees of the Crown reserve could be relocated. This is certainly news to council, I believe. I have confidence in our council that proper and due process will prevail.

top breaks to thin out the mob though having said that, one Saturday last month there were 340 surfers counted between the Pass and Clarks Beach. From aphotographic point of view this convergence of wave riders provided

he surf has been phenomenal in the last two months and a cruise of the local coastline has delivered some awe inspiring waves and as we all know, big surf equals big crowds. Fortunately we have plenty of

for posterity, great archival media for future generations of surfing sociologists and humble surf rats. Snapping this society from the rocks day after day, you can observe surfer behaviour at its best, worst and at times, just plain suicidal. Surfers ‘short cut’ their way out at the Pass’s back

beach. Most, wisely, force their way out to the far right. Many of the others misjudge the passage. One afternoon five surfers made the frightening and unplanned adrenalin trip through the rocks. The best advice is to consider releasing your leg rope. Don’t exhaust yourself. Relax – if possible – your body, to minimise the brief rocky impact. Then

go with the flow and savour the experience. Photographically if you want outstanding images consider ditching the black wet suit for a decadent ensemble of vivid butterfly hues and a matching shiny radiant ultra glossy new shooter.

Management of use of the Cape Byron Marine Park

CAPE BYRON

the Mackerel Boulder habitat protection zones. Spearfishing is restricted in NSW waters. Spearfishing is not allowed in rivers or estuaries, such as the Brunswick River nor on open beaches. Places where spearfishing is permitted in the Cape Byron Marine Park are within the habitat protection zones at Cosy Corner and Broken Head. If care is not taken, even activities associated with scuba diving and snorkelling can result in damage to marine ecosystems. Divers and snorkellers are requested to observe a code of conduct which includes measures such as appropriate methods of anchoring and behaviour to minimise impacts on marine habitats and animals. Make sure you pick up a

zoning plan users guide to Cape Byron Marine Park before going out to explore the marine park. Users guides are readily available at Marine Park offices and many outlets, including information centres, accommodation outlets, general stores and fishing supply outlets. They are also available at www.mpa.nsw.gov.au or by phoning the Cape Byron Marine Park office on (02) 6620 9300.

ape Byron Marine Park is waiting for you to explore the riches it contains. Before setting out make sure you are aware of ways you can reduce your footprint. The marine park has been zoned for multiple use to ensure ongoing conservation of the marine environment by protecting representative examples of the different habitats and the animals and plants they support, and to allow for the sustainable use of areas of the marine park. Activities such as swimming, diving, surfing and boating are permitted in all zones, however restrictions apply to activities such as commercial and recreational fishing, spearfishing, collecting and anchoring. Recreational fishing is allowed in the habitat protection and general use zones, which collectively represent 72.2 per cent of Cape Byron Marine Park’s area. The Zoning Plan allows recreational fishing in most areas of the marine park including along three quarters of all sandy beaches, around approximately half of all rocky shores and headlands, throughout all of the Brunswick River and a section of Marshalls Creek between Casons Lane and a point 300 metres south of the New Brighton Post Office, over some inshore reefs including, with restrictions, within the Wilsons Reef and Bait Reef, and

Television Guide

FRIDAY 8

1. Imagine being stuck in an airport with Tom Hanks forever and ever. The Terminal (Prime, Friday, 8.30pm) makes that dream true. Catherine Zeta-Jones helps with the suffering. 2. Would you like acid slime with that? The Alien franchise is among the best of the scifi genre and Alien 3 (TEN, Saturday, 8.30pm), lives up to the weirdness. Sigourney Weaver takes interspecies relationships to greater depths than those occasionally seen in the barn late at night. 3. The glorious snow leopard of the Himalaya comes under investigation in Snow Leopard: Beyond The Myth (ABC, Sunday, 7.30pm). See it while it still exists.

The Rhythms of Ireland is an exhilarating show of perfectly sounded traditional rhythms, song and dance that is the most exciting Irish dance and music production at this present time. This production has been seen by over two-million worldwide amassing an unsurpassed reputation for their ‘stunningly executed performances’. It’s great music, dancing and singing by performers of amazing quality and enthusiasm. I spoke with Thomas Johnston, musical director (and Uilleann pipes and whistle player) of the show. It was 1.15am in the morning in Ireland (County Limerick), and he had just finished teaching a group of kids flute. What was your upbringing like? Was there much music in your household as a child? ‘My mum was in a show band, and my parents brought me kicking and screaming to the shows until I turned 16. Then I saw the social aspect, so it’s been simmering away in the background.’ You completed a Bachelor of Arts in Irish Music and Dance – does

the course focus on just that or are there other components? ‘It’s a four year course, which includes performance, history, entrepreneur skills, classical. There are twenty four modules every year. I am currently doing a PHD in music education.’

Not only do Angelo Falcone, Vittorio Sacca and Lawrence Allen look like the real Three Tenors – they can sing!And what`s more, they can entertain! With over thirty years of experience, these three great voices sing the most noted songs of the century. From the ever popular operatic arias to English, Spanish and Italian Classics and also modern songs and ballads loved by all. Saturday May 9, 8pm, Seagulls.

Splendour In The Grass

Ireland has a great tradition for its artistic culture – It is passionate and has a rich harmonic and rhythmic tradition that is comparable to African music. Thomas agrees. ‘Yes, it’s not so much about the music, it’s the culture that keeps it alive. it’s as much about what goes on around the music as what is played.’ How have the shows been so far – has there been much dancing in the aisles? ‘Yes, people are encouraged to shout out and dance – the more people dancing the better. This show is the longest tour of any Irish tour in Australia. This tour started two weeks ago in Darwin, and I will be joining them shortly. I can’t wait.’ See it at the Byron Bay Community Centre this Tuesday night (bookings: 02 6685 6807). If you miss it there, it will be at Seagulls on Friday May 16 (bookings: 07 5536 3433).

soAP boX IVY’S STORY Mandy Nolan

Last Friday April 24, I pushed my fourth child, a brand new baby daughter, into the world. In just one push she was delivered, head to toe, still in her sac. A friend of mine remarked that it’s just how horses give birth. I didn’t mention that I had to chew her free, and in just five minutes she was up and we were galloping around the grassy fields outside the birth centre. Even after four shots at it, I am still humbled by the amazing human process, that as a woman, with a little bit of help, I can make people. The day started like most others, with me wandering the streets and people remarking: ‘wow, still pregnant?’ I was beginning to feel like a self-inflating camping mattress without the plug, just taking on more air, engorging to the point where bending over was a conceptual activity and thongs my only form of footwear. Friday morning I had taken one last look at the rubbish in my garage and given my partner the orders: ‘It has to go. Today we take it to the dump.’ The car was loaded and ready to go. The cramps had started. I timed them at two minutes apart. But it was OK, I could still talk. Still time to tip it. By Myocum, contractions were a minute apart and getting more intense. With a history of births under two hours, and a whole recycling system to negotiate, and a stench that had me wretching, I made a quick decision. Pull out. I am committed to the concept of responsible waste management but I wasn’t about to give birth there and have to pay extra on the car weigh-in on the way out. My partner looked relieved, although he thought we should call our daughter Tippi. Next job: sort the kids. After four phone calls I found a friend to come and be with my children. As luck would have it, none of the people who I’d lined up could make it. For a minute I thought I was going to have to give birth with the kids sitting around going, Are we there yet?’ ‘Shut up mum, we can’t hear the telly.’ An available girlfriend was located. I was free to give birth. We rang the Mullum Hospital. ‘You’re lucky we just sent two women home who thought they were in labour but weren’t’. Lucky alright, if I got up there and didn’t get a shot at the birth pool there would have been a bitch fight. I may be a feminist, but three women in a birth

pool is just a little too cosy. ‘Excuse me, is that my placenta or yours?’ I’m not a drug free birther. I like to go the gas. I’m in the bath hallucinating with pain and I make my nitrous request. The midwife, who was very adorable, informed me there was none, and offered me affirmations instead. ‘You’re doing so well’. I had a small moment of panic: those bloody hippies have tricked me into a natural birth! Naked, and about 9cm dilated, I decided it wasn’t the time for a tantrum. I fell into the pain and followed it. I used my voice to make a noise that I don’t think I could make again. Except for my next Brazilian. The roaring was my only relief. And it was extraordinarily effective. I think roaring may even be better than gas. I thanked god I wasn’t married to Tom Cruise and was left with the solace of biting on a sock. Ivy was born around 2.30pm. We think. The clock wasn’t working properly. Which in Mullumbimby is a sueable offence. What if my daughter never knows her rising sign? What if she’s the only kid in the class who hasn’t had her chart done? We called our daughter Ivy Mae Elizabeth Stevens. Named after maternal and paternal grandmothers – a small human legacy to the memory of our old women. I rang my nanna, Ivy. At 93 and blind she lives independently and hasn’t lost a dot of her memory. She’s a courageous, at times tactless but warm and extraordinary woman who I often use for inspiration: she’s the one that offered me the family strap to discipline my kids, loves John Laws but hates injustice, who sits and entertains a constant stream of friends and animals and kids through the tiny home where she has lived for 70 years. It’s the kind of place Diane Arbus would have paid top dollar for a photo shoot. I told my nan we had called our baby Ivy. She said ‘Get out of here. You didn’t. What an honour. Oh Mandy, you’ve done me proud. When I die, she’ll be there to remember me by. I think I have to go now and have a cry.’ So Mandy the super overachiever takes a break. I am now in that blissful breastfeeding land where thoughts start but never finish, tea is made but never drunk hot, and a whole day’s output is just one load of washing. It’s wonderful.

This week brings the first of Mercuryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual three week retrograde periods â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a cosmic pause which gives us a chance to slow down, catch our breath, integrate change, recharge, reflect and reassess.

WITH LILITH

ARIES: Mayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s emphasis is in your house of money, funds and income â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and with Venus gracing you with a long stay in Aries, it could be an exceptionally loving and successful month so long as you maintain emotional poise and stay mindful of other peoplesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; feelings. TAURUS: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time again to re-evaluate what works and what doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in your life, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bother unless you can be honest. Keep trusting your intuition, which is just another way of saying your basic common sense. Oh, and beef is the rave flavour this week â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you sexy thingâ&#x20AC;Ś GEMINI: Your ruling planet retrograde says slow down and do some serious thinking, because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming up to crunch time for big decisions around partnerships and finances. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the zodiacs ace talkers but this week benefits from listening: to relatives, co-workers, health professionals, sensible advice.

For half a century, the Soviet Union was the dominant chess power and only a tiny trickle of defectors and ĂŠmigrĂŠs were able to leave the communist empire and compete under other flags â&#x20AC;&#x201C; most notably world title challenger Viktor Korchnoi and World Champion Boris Spassky. When the USSR split into 15 pieces in 1990/1, many ex-Soviet Grandmasters took the opportunity to leave for greener pastures. Many countries gained a new ex-Soviet as their number one; these included Spain, Germany, Belgium and, controversially, Slovenia, who lured Alexander Beliavsky from the Ukrainian team without requiring him to change his country of residence. Australia also benefited, Irina Berezina becoming the leader of our Olympic womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team. Earlier this decade the world body FIDE made country transfer rules quicker and easier â&#x20AC;&#x201C; although far more expensive â&#x20AC;&#x201C; resulting in some Grandmasters spruiking their services to the highest bidder. Subsequent Olympiads have seen Bulgarian

Best let small annoyances slide â&#x20AC;&#x201C; remember theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re happening to everyone, not just you.

LIBRA: This month isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t helpful for anything much except doing the prep for what you want to launch next month. Communications are a bit off, but Tuesday-Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Libra moon favors value-adding upgrades to your base of operations: home, office or wherever you spend the most time.

CHESS by Ian Rogers Play at Seagulls Club, Thurs 6-10pm veteran Evgeny Ermenkov leading the Palestinian team (despite his political sympathies being with Israel) and Mikhail Gurevich moving (again) from Belgium to Turkey. Last month saw another two prominent Grandmasters making unexpected changes of allegiance. Most attention was focussed on Sergey Karjakinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to leave his native Ukraine and play for the old colonial power, Russia. Karjakin, pictured, who earned the Grandmaster title at age 12 (still a record) claimed that he did not have enough financial support in the Ukraine and wished to work with better coaches. Karjakin plans to move to Moscow and work with Garry Kasparovâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old mentor, Yuri Dokhoian, who has a contract with the Russian Chess Federation preventing him from working with foreigners. Karjakinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s move has received a mixed reaction â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not surprising in a country where political bat-

tles are often fought between the Ukrainian and Russian-speaking parts of the population. But if Karjakinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision was a surprise, Ivan Sokolovâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s announcement that he would in future be representing Bosnia rather than Holland came as a complete shock. Sokolov, 40, moved to the Netherlands 15 years ago during the Yugoslav wars and has since won two Dutch Championships and become the most successful player in the history of the Dutch club competition. Concurrently Sokolov has frequently battled with the Dutch Chess federation over appearance fees and skipped the 2008 Dresden Chess Olympics. So when the Bosnians sent out feelers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and a firm financial offer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Sokolov was happy to abandon the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;richerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Netherlands and begin representing a

CAPRICORN: Mercury retrograde in your health sector suggests misunderstandings about your physical needs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; perhaps you or your health professional out of synch with what your body wants. Take time out from world concerns for some deep listening, and give yourself the kind of personal TLC we all need. AQUARIUS: This weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best activities? Pruning dead wood in the form of profitless pursuits and time wasting activities. Aquarians facing family dramas involving property are advised to resist being pressured into big decisions or signing anything life changing till after June first. PISCES: Keep communications clear and simple this week. Put things in writing, double check dates, confirm arrangements â&#x20AC;&#x201C; might sound fussy but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll thank me. And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let economic pressures get you down â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you started life with nothing, so whatever youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got is a bonus.

country which he believed would provide him with more respect and resources. Notably, Sokolov has no desire to relocate back to Bosnia and will remain as a Dutch resident and citizen. Chess migration patterns were once entirely predictable: east to west, with Grandmasters going from being a small fish in a big pond to becoming the murray cod of a chess puddle. However, Karjakinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Sokolovâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s moves show that players seeking opportunity may find it anywhere in the world.

After a long and at times frustrating wait, the residents of Koala Beach have finally received their sports fields. Part of the original DA for the environmentally friendly estate in Pottsville, the new sports fields have been on the drawing board for over a decade and there were times when their future was in doubt. However thanks to the efforts of Tweed Shire Council, Pottsville Soccer and Koala Beach Sports Club, the fields are ready for action. Koala Beach Sports Club (KBSC) was formed several years ago by local residents in the interest of providing more sporting options for Pottsville and the Tweed Coast. One of the main goals the

Among those excluded from making submissions to councillors about the seven-year-management plan (see page 4) was Terry Sharples, even though he easily meets the criterion of being someone who makes â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;persistent representationsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to the council. Then again he has made his views clear during his failed action in the Land and Environment Court to have the plan declared null and void and is set to make further representations in an upcoming appeal against the court decision. â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013;

Meantime Tweed Council has been partly successful in its bid to pursue Mr Sharples through the courts to pay its $258,712.18 legal bill for the case. Land and Environment Court judge Paul Briscoe determined that Mr Sharples should pay a third of the councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s costs. Mr Sharples, who argued that he initiated the appeal in the public interest, appeared philosophical about the outcome. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called the price of speaking up and actually doing something,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he said. â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013;

A HEALTHY ALTERNATIVE 51 Tweed Valley Way, Murwillumbah (Condong Ampol Station)

Backburner hopes land at the planned massive residential subdivisions of Kings Forest and Cobaki wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meet the same fate as some up on the Gold Coast where Leda Developments, which owns and is developing the two Tweed properties, has been ordered to repair illegally cleared land. Gold Coast City Council this week secured orders in the Planning and Environment Court compelling companies owned by Gold Coast billionaire developer Bob Ell to revegetate land that had been illegally cleared in November and December last year. The court had judged that Leda Developments had cleared major portions of a holding of about 100 hectares at Pimpama without the relevant development permits from the Council. A local councillor said it was â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;particularly disappointing that a developer the size and reputa-

Following last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s revelations by newly elected councillor and mayor Joan van Lieshout that Kiama should be a model for our own future development, particularly the area surrounding its natural harbour, we asked the council controlling the NSW coastal town for some pictures. We are pleased to see that the images reveal relatively uncluttered foreshores with no high-rise buildings in sight. Which brings us to a readerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suggestion that the Twin Towns Services Club building

tion of Leda removed vegetation without the proper approvalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and observed that developers â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;cannot pre-empt the outcomes of development applicationsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. A thriving koala colony lives around Kings Forest and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d hate to see their habitat further reduced. â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013;

Which state are we in this time? A Repco Rally Australia media release last week mistakenly identified Kilcoy Shire in Queensland instead of Kyogle Shire in NSW as one of the regions hosting Repco Rally Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world rally championship leg. Backburner thinks itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Freudian slip, given NSW is the third state in which rally organisers have desperately tried to get the event happening over the past few years. To their credit, they did immediately correct their slip.

which has dominated the foreshores of the Jack Evans Boat Harbour for decades should consider relocating to a revamped Club Banora as part of a strategy to rescue its sister club. We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see that happening anytime soon but the same was said about the old Rowing and Aquatic Club and a Greek restaurant run by colourful identity Nick Carlos, which were both forced to give up their crown land leases on the harbour in recent years.

â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013;

Backburner suspected that the controversial jet-boat cruises up the Tweed River would eventually sink due to lack of interest, but other spanners seem to have got into the works instead. Tweed Shire Council gave the company the green light in February for a five-month trial of the river tours, despite objections from environmentalists and residents, but the operators last week told media it was pulling the plug on the venture and closing shop for 12 months because of all sorts of trouble, including mechanical and legal issues related to a faulty boat engine.

A rep from an Australian film production company currently filming a feature film starring British actor John Hurt, called us the other day to say their set-production designer had spied a copy of The Echo somewhere and liked it so much it was decided to use â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; They always said thingsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d get it as a prop in one of the scenes.
