State takeover undermines rule of law Luis Feliu

The state government’s move to push ahead with the controversial world rally and sideline Tweed Shire Council in the process will undermine public faith in the rule of law in NSW, according to a legal activist. Minister for State Development, Ian Macdonald, announced on Friday the government’s intention to enable special legislation to ensure the event goes ahead, instead of waiting for council approval, after a request from international motorsport body, the Parisbased Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA). The shock announcement was made the day after a large and vocal protest group against the rally involving more than 300 people marched down Murwillumbah’s CBD and on to council chambers. The protest was told by North Coast-based Greens MLC Ian Cohen that the state government was about to override council planning powers to approve the rally and warned the move would inflame objectors, who were set to protest during the rally itself. Opponents say the minister has ‘joined a long list of victims of spin from the organisers’ while the Northern Rivers Environmental Defenders Office (EDO) says there is no reason why the normal planning process could not have been complied with in the time available.

PAGES 8-9

‘It’s not as if this is a huge project that is of vital importance for the state’s future,’ lawyer and education officer for the EDO Mark Byrne told The Echo. Circumventing normal planning processes under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, he said, also ‘disempowers local residents and groups, whether they oppose the rally in principle and want their voices heard or seek good environmental and other safeguards if it does go ahead’. ‘It could also override the need to consider the impact on threatened animals along the route under the Threatened Species Act,’ Mr Byrne said. But Mr Macdonald said the legislation ‘will permit the Government to impose environmental protection measures to manage any temporary impacts on affected local areas’. The minister claimed the three-day event would bring $100 million to the state economy by driving tourism and creating jobs and that the event was backed by Murwillumbah’s business chamber and Tweed Tourism. But No Rally Group (NRG) president Michael McNamara said the minister had fallen for a ‘deliberate and mischievous misinformation campaign’ by rally organisers in that various community groups had contradicted their claims that they had been consulted, which the minister repeated in his release.

Festival shows off young talent

Victoria Cosford

Ex-ballet dancer Judith Kingston (pictured above) reckons it’s one of the biggest performing arts festivals in country NSW. The Murwillumbah Festival of Performing Arts, now in its 78th year, starts on June 26 and for nearly an entire month will showcase the talents of over 5,000 young performers in a seemingly endless round of competitions. The event just gets bigger every year, according to Judy, the festival’s dance convenor since 1992. Her own involvement in dance stems back to when, aged 17, she won the prestigious Peter Stuyvesant scholarship which took her to London for two years to study at the Royal Ballet School. Back in Australia she started teaching dance, ending up running two continued on page 2 small schools, one in her birth-

place Coffs Harbour and the other in Grafton. Her husband’s job in the dental profession brought them both up to Murwillumbah about 19 years ago and Judy resumed teaching dance, albeit part-time in 2005. While dance is just one of the sections of the festival, it is such a substantial one that not only does it span 11 days but it also requires Judy to be

assisted by two co-convenors. The other sections are speech and drama as well as music. This is a festival which has produced major talent over the years, with many of the young performers having gone on to become professional entertainers in their respective fields, Australia’s Got Talent finalist Aaron Smythe, for example, as well as actor Rachel Beck and soloist for the Queens-

Planning panel nominations meeting off The extraordinary council meeting planned for today (Thursday, June 4) to consider nominations for two representatives for the new Joint Regional Planning Panel (JRPP) has been cancelled. The meeting has been rescheduled as part of the ordinary meeting on Tuesday, June 16, after council was advised by the government that a deferral could be made

to coincide with the ordinary meeting if an extension was needed for council to nominate panel members. A spokesperson said Council apologised for any inconvenience caused by the change. Meanwhile, the government has allocated $2.4 million in the 2009/10 budget to establish, operate and administer new planning panels. Plan-

ning Minister Kristina Keneally announced the funds this week at the Shires Association annual conference, saying that from July to August this year, six panels will begin operation across NSW. The panels will consist of three state government appointed members and two nominees from the relevant local council.

Outside Tweed Shire Council chambers last Thursday afternoon more than 300 protesters, some dressed as wallabies, koalas ‘We can only assume that and other native animals, which they said could be killed or the minister and his staff have put at risk by rally cars on rural roads around the Tweed Valley, accepted their claims without voiced their anger against the controversial motor rally.

checking their veracity with the community,’ Mr McNamara said. Meanwhile, Tweed mayor Joan van Lieshout, who told The Echo as she watched the protest on the council steps on Thursday that she would be ‘not happy’ if the government intervened, was due to meet Mr Macdonald in Sydney yesterday (Wednesday) to ‘clarify council’s ongoing role’ with the event. Cr van Lieshout, in Sydney this week attending the Shires Association of NSW Annual Conference, said she was ‘very firm in insisting the Tweed would be party to all communications regarding the rally’. The mayor and Kyogle mayor Ross Brown met with representatives from the Premier’s office and Events NSW on Tuesday to further clarify the Council’s role in the event. Tweed MP Geoff Provest said, ‘Labor’s latest move against our Council shows again they have no respect for local democracy. ‘We have only just elected local councillors who have got a far better understanding of

the issues and the wishes of the Tweed community than Sydney bureaucrats. ‘There is a legitimate and mostly intelligent debate going on here about the the rally and the state government should let it happen without undue interference.’ Later, Mr Provest, whose seat covers the planned pit stop and rally headquarters at Kings cliff, says he had helped broker a move of the three-week long pit stop from Kingscliff beachfront land to the Cudgen Leagues Club in order to cut down noise and traffic impacts. Lismore MP Thomas George, whose seat includes Murwillumbah and most rally stages, said he had been ‘kept in dark more than shires have’ over the proposed legislation and he helped convene the meetings in Sydney between mayors and government respresentativeas. ‘There was a process to go through and here we are at the 11th hour with the state government indicating they’ll bring legislation forward in the next

two or three weeks to enable the event to happen,’ he said. But both the Tweed’s National Party MPs are likely to vote for the rally to go ahead. They say they first want to see the details of the legislation and want to ensure concerns by locals are considered. ‘If we can address the environmental issues we should not ignore the major influx of cash, jobs and publicity the rally will unquestionably bring to our valley,’ Mr Provest said. Cr van Lieshout said ‘the challenge now is to engage in a relationship with the state government in order to ensure we minimise the identified impacts while at the same time maximising the broader economic benefits to deliver a very positive outcome for the Tweed community’. Repco Rally Australia organising committee chairman Garry Connelly said the legislation would ‘facilitate the event’s continuing marketing and promotional strategies’ and he now hoped to launch ticket sales ‘in the near future’.

Casuarina folk split on shopping centre Ken Sapwell

State takes control of rally

Not all Casuarina residents are happy after councillors overturned the advice of their planners and approved a Coles shopping centre on the coastal estate south of Kingscliff. The decision smooths the way for Kings Beach No 2 Ltd to develop a two-storey centre by swallowing up a large slice of a council-owned easement which contains a natural stormwater swale and bike and walking tracks. Chief planner Vince Connell says the centre will have a high visual impact and is inconsistent with the developer’s control plan of a small neighbourhood-style centre promoting walkable, self-sus-

taining coastal villages. He said in a report the loss of the swale and cycleway will result in a loss of public amenity and alternative plans to pipe any stormwater underground would have adverse environmental impacts. Some councillors seemed swayed by some heavy lobbying and a timely photo opportunity by 80 members of the Casuarina Beach residents association publicly voicing support for a bigger shopping centre just days earlier. They may have also been influenced by last-minute legal advice which they considered in secret before deciding on a compromise requiring the developer to lengthen and widen another

area of open-space reserve. Mayor Joan van Lieshout, whose vote broke a three-all deadlock, told colleagues: ‘The community group has made it clear they want their town centre. It is time this shire made a decision’. But according to Mr Connell the council received 397 public submissions, with most of them objecting to the loss of the 36-metre wide swale which runs from the Coast Road to the beach. Residents said it acted as a wildlife corridor and many had designed their properties around it after viewing the developer’s plans for the estate which made no indication it would be removed to make way for a 4000m2 centre. www.tweedecho.com.au

School promotes healthy eating Victoria Cosford

Mount St Patrick College in Murwillumbah is setting a great example in healthy food habits for its students to follow. The school’s canteen has again been recognised by the Healthy Kids School Canteen Association in the leadup to the inaugural Healthy Kids School Canteen Day on Friday, June 19, a day set aside to acknowledge the vital role that canteens play within the school community. Association’s general manager Jo Gardner said at the event’s launch that canteens were in a position to introduce children to a wide range of wholesome foods to which they might otherwise not have access at home. Given the ongoing childhood obesity issue, a health-promoting role played by school canteens has become increasingly critical. Guidelines for the School Canteen Healthy Strategy are strict: all confectionery, for example, is to be eliminated, and

suppliers of foodstuffs need to meet the required criteria. According to the canteen’s fulltime convenor Carmel Wilcox, there was initially some resistance to the strategy, but now approximately 50 per cent of the school’s students purchase wholesome food from the canteen just about every day.

‘What you offer,’ Carmel told The Echo, ‘is what they buy.’ There are home-made soups in winter, salad boxes (Greek, pasta, rice, couscous, garden), house-made quiches, low-fat vegeburgers and hamburgers, toasted Turkish sandwiches, lavash wraps, a home-made low-fat muesli slice and even a

low-fat chocolate slice. (‘There must be some small treat’, Carmel confided.) A lot of the senior students constitute a portion of that 50 percent using the canteen daily in view of the fact they have jobs after school to go to, and require something to sustain them. Another aspect of the Healthy Kids School Canteen Day is to direct attention to the volunteers and staff who run the school canteens. At Mount St Patrick there are, apart from Carmel Wilcox and two part-time convenors, around 70 volunteers on the roster, mostly parents. Whether or not children buy snacks and lunch from the school canteen every day of their school lives or as an occasional treat, it is imperative that they be provided with nutritious choices.

Funding failure linked to signage row Ken Sapwell

A long-simmering row over indigenous signage to be featured in the redevelopment of the Jack Evans Boat Harbour has emerged as a reason why the Tweed missed out on a $10 million federal grant for the work. Richmond MP Justine Elliot has refused to confirm or deny whether her sensitivities to the potentially divisive dispute influenced her government’s surprise decision not to give money for the landmark project.

Criteria met Her reticence comes after her claims that council’s submission for a share of the government’s infrastructure fund had failed to measure up were contradicted this week by fund administrators who advised the council it had in fact ‘met all the criteria’. Long-time advocate of the Ngarakwal-Githabul nations, James McKenzie, says the failure of the council’s application is directly linked to controversial signage to be displayed in the indigenous gardens section of the park. He says he warned Ms Elliot it misrepresented local Aboriginal culture and history by wrongly recognising some clans as the original custodians of the Tweed while not recognising those that were. Ms Elliot had received several submissions from himself and Ngarakwal elders, including Harry Boyd, who told her the planned signage ‘removes www.tweedecho.com.au

our identity and replaces it with Bundjalung, the people from the Clarence River.’ ‘The Jack Evans Boat Harbour plans breach many articles of the recently signed United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People, as do Tweed council’s false history books and documents,’ he said in a submission to her office last month. Mr McKenzie says the row flared in 2007 after the council’s Aboriginal advisory committee successfully urged the council to alter the wording on signage against advice in the 2004 Tweed Heads Master Plan. Under what it describes as the ‘principal features’ of its strategy for the harbour, the master plan envisages ‘a cultural and interpretive garden that conveys a history of the Tweed, in particular the occupation of the area by the Ngarakwal-Ngandowal people prior to European occupation’.

‘Wrong language’ Mr McKenzie accuses the committee of rubbing out the reference to the Ngarakwal people by replacing it with Ngandowal-Minjungbal, wrongly stating the local indigenous language is Bundjalung and misappropriating a name for one of the gardens which has no local relevance. The veteran campaigner for the Ngarakwal people who he says shared land with his pioneer forebears at Wollumbin believes the changes help perpetuate historical falsehoods,

including claims that none of the Ngarakwal survive because they were all massacred more than 100 years ago. Twice asked whether Mr McKenzie’s claims that the disputed signage could inflame tensions among indigenous groups had influenced the outcome of the council’s application, Ms Elliot ducked direct answers. Instead she reissued her original press release, saying that Tweed council’s application had not succeeded and repeated her now challenged assertion that ‘it did not meet all of the criteria at this time.’

Different funds Tweed councillors and senior staff who were confident the application ticked all boxes have so far been unsuccessful in meeting with Ms Elliot for a more detailed explanation, but have taken her up on an invitation to seek funding for the project from a different federal source. But Mr McKenzie says that unless the Aboriginal advisory committee agrees to reinstate signage recommended under the master plan, any funding application would face the same hurdles which spooked the government last month. Long-serving committee member Dot Holdom said some of Mr McKenzie’s claims did not accord with information about Aboriginal nations depicted in a map produced by the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies. ‘I suggest that Mr McKen-

zie should put his historical information in a book so it can be critiqued by the experts,’ she said.

Nine-year-old Jack Henderson, of Banora Point, arrived at the Tweed Valley College Billycart Grand Prix last Sunday with a billycart made from scratch by his 83-yearold grandfather, Cyril Cecil, of Tweed Heads. But what young Jack didn’t know was that he had to be in a team of seven to compete. Jack’s mum Kerri said event organisers ‘did a wonderful job at very short notice’. ‘They helped us round up a bunch of kids, so Jack just getting a go was a win for us. ‘But what a great bunch of kids,’ she said. Jack’s Team Graffiti Boys ended the day with three hotly contested trophies for the year 3/4 group, two for first and one for third, which now take pride of place on Jack and the other boys’ mantlepieces. ‘The whole event was incredibly well organised and conducted in a fantastic spirit, and all in all a great day out.

Council’s quangos escape close scrutiny Two long-established councilfunded enterprises, the Tweed Economic Development Corporation and Tweed Tourism, have escaped close scrutiny of their operations. Mayor Joan van Lieshout failed in her bid to spend $15,000 on an ‘independent review’ of the organisations after saying neither were ‘fully viable’ and suggesting the council could save up to $500,000

a year by merging them and bringing in ‘new blood’ Cr van Lieshout, who serves on the board of both entities, was acting on a recommendation by general manager Mike Rayner that an independent review be carried out before current funding arrangements expire in July next year. But her concerns raised the ire of Cr Warren Polglase who branded her comments as dis-

appointing and Kevin Skinner who said the two groups, although they had faced troubled times in the past, were now on a good footing. The council instead adopted an amendment from Cr Polglase to hold a forum with a less costly facilitator to help the organisations develop ‘visions, goals and objectives’ with the support of Crs Skinner, Phil Youngblutt and Dot Holdom.

Councillors go back to secrecy habit Ken Sapwell

Tweed Shire councillors went behind closed doors to consider six issues last week, sparking concerns that the council may be returning to its old but heavily criticised habit of keeping a lid on controversial issues. First cab off the rank was the ongoing dispute with defiant lap-dance bar owner Warren Armstrong, who the council accuses of carrying out unauthorised building work, using his premises in a different manner to the original restaurant approval and non-payment of more than $30,000 in fees.

Curtain drawn Mr Anderson has contested the allegations in colourful billboards outside his bar and in a personal submission to councillors at last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community access session. Councillors then voted unanimously to bring down

the curtain on the public dustup by voting to discuss it in a confidential meeting. The issue joined several other items already earmarked in the confidential session along with a late item which was not listed on the agenda. They included a Land and Environment Court decision earlier this month relating to land-filling and culvert construction around Turnock Street, which may be related to councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marathon legal battles involving the Segal family. The council, which stated the issue should be kept confidential because it involved litigation, decided simply to receive and note the court decision. One debate kept from the public involved approvals it granted to four groups to operate monthly markets on its reserves at Kingscliff, Pottsville, Tweed Heads and Murwillumbah. The successful applicants were Kingscliff Lions Club, the

Circus stunts overshadow progress or the casual observer, last week was political Send in the Clowns week: a series Volume 1 #39 June 4, 2009 of progressively sillier and noisier stunts in parliament during which forests were felled for ammunition in an inconclusive and ultimately pointless poster All year, The Echo has maintained that the running of the controversial world rally through the Tweed and Kyogle Shires war.

The charade exposed

Party intransigence. The change of government brought renewed and even more hairy-chested commitment to the basin, especially from Rudd’s minister Penny Wong, and eventually a few small trickles were allowed back into the system. But overall it appeared that the problem had been relegated to the too hard basket: there were just too many conflicts and complications

of a new Asia-Pacific regional association which would cover defence and security in the region as well as trade and economic matters. He first floated this hugely ambitious proposal last year and it was greeted with polite dismissal. Most of the countries concerned and Singapore in particular felt that the Asian institutions already in place, especially ASEAN, were adequate

Because the media concentrated, inevitably, on the circus in Canberra, the government did not get the kudos it might have expected… by Mungo MacCallum economically, environmentally and above all politically. Actually the issue is childishly simple: too much water has been taken out of the system and if it is to be saved, quite a lot will have to be put back. But the missing water has gone to support farms, towns, whole industries; getting it back will be divisive and disruptive. The process needs a big kickstart and last week’s announcement may well have provided it. It has certainly stirred up the states; New South Wales immediately moved to cap its own irrigation and threatened to join South Australia in a legal challenge to the Victorian ban, a somewhat bizarre double. But at the same time the Victorians opened a crack in the door suggesting that their hitherto inflexible position might be negotiable. And the issue, of course, is now well and truly front and centre, where it belongs. Break out the champagne, or at least a glass or two of Murray-Darling special. And then Rudd went to Singapore to reopen the matter

out of the shire. Well, where are their voices now? This blatant abuse of power by the state pollies, seduced and hoodwinked by the motorsport gravy-train lobby, is far worse because we’re not talking about matters of due process or corruption but about a meagre sporting event with questionable attraction or value. The position of Tweed Shire Council’s general manager Mike Rayner, who sits on the board of the rally, again has to be in serious question. He should quit the board immediately because the power to assess the impact of the rally by the council staff he manages has been disgracefully white-anted by the very organisation he has to support as a rally board member. His role in the whole affair, whether sought by him or not, is looking like a huge error of professional judgement. Imposing a disruptive sporting event on a community which holds deep concerns about it makes a mockery of democracy. What is the point of our local government if elite sporting groups with influence over state politicians can come in and assert their will over the people who live here?

for their purposes, and if they weren’t there was always APEC, although that had been made unwieldy and less relevant by the United States insistence on incorporating the Latin and South American countries into the original concept. But last week the reaction was somewhat different. Rudd’s diplomats led by Richard Woolcott have been working diligently behind the scenes, and with the Global Financial Crisis more intense and the latest belligerence from North Korea there was at least the beginning of a feeling that the idea might be worth considering. So Rudd was able to announce the calling of a non-political summit later this year, in which officials, academics and opinion makers could get together to discuss what he tactfully called ‘the future of our regional architecture for the 21st century’. Another breakthrough in what was really a very good week for the indefatigable Ruddster. But compare and contrast Malcolm Turnbull, who once again finds himself

in a limbo of compromise, confusion and obfuscation. The Leader of the Opposition (or at least his bit of it) now says the coalition is ready to commit to Rudd’s emission reduction target of between 5 and 25 per cent by 2020 – well, sort of, in principle, depending on what happens. This in itself should not be surprising, since it was also his policy back in 2007 and for a period thereafter. But lest he be accused of consistency, he firmly rejects Rudd’s Emissions Trading Scheme as a means of attaining it, although this too was his own policy. Instead, he wants to talk about putting a kind of a sort of a something or other in place after we see what everyone else does. This, he preposterously claims, will give Australia a firm and unequivocal bipartisan commitment to take to the Copenhagen conference. In the meantime, of course, the National wing of the coalition which Turnbull nominally heads continues to reject anything and everything, with Barnaby Joyce proudly proclaiming that Australia will never have an ETS of any kind. Nicholas Stern, whose report pushed climate change into the forefront of public debate back in 2007, said last week that if Copenhagen was to have any chance of success it was imperative that the big per capita emitters like Australia take a lead; only then would the developing polluters like China and India be persuaded to join in a truly international program for change. Malcolm Turnbull, formerly Australia’s Minister for the Environment, will not endorse even the minimalist position which he himself once proposed. If he wasn’t so rich you’d have to think he was a dead set drongo.

Good reading Myself and my partner were extremely interested in the article you published earlier this year about Valerie Skinner and her mountain climbing experiences. What an incredibly courageous woman – she’s such an inspiration for us beginner climbers in our mid-years. And congratulations for including such an interesting article in your publication, which I found highly interesting over the wet Australia Day long weekend when we were camping: a quality product, you could teach the big boys a thing or two!

Desperate koalas Tweed Shire koalas are in desperate need of a Koala Management Plan if they are to have any future. On behalf of the members of Team Koala I would like to thank Crs Dot Holdom, Barry Longland, Phil Youngblutt and in particular Katie Milne and Mayor Joan van Lieshout for their efforts to support this outcome in the recent budget meeting. I would also like to thank all the people who made a submission for the koalas and the many people who have joined Team Koala in an effort to do something positive for our environment and the Tweed. A Koala Plan of Management for the Tweed will give us all something we badly need: hope. Let’s hope the importance of this issue is maintained in the next few months and the council does find the money, before it is too late for our furry friends.

lage 2(d) zoning in the Tweed LEP is 450m2 per lot. Because that is the rule. Yet the Nightcap DA includes plans for ‘low-medium density’ precincts where the lot sizes will be on average just 346m2. This is much smaller than the 450m2 allowed in the LEP. According to the DA these precincts will accommodate 260 of the total 420 dwellings planned for Nightcap. In other words, 62 per cent of all dwellings will need to ‘bend’ the rules! The developer will need to obtain the necessary approval to amend the LEP, but it is hard to see how Council’s recent 4-2 decision on Nightcap (‘intention to grant consent’) is not tantamount to approving this amendment. Or is it? Philip Carr

Rail not bike D L McAllister (Letters, May 21) is letting his cycling enthusiasm and political loyalties cloud his objectivity when he advocates destroying the region’s only sustainable transport asset for another cycle route. Sydney, the Gold Coast and regions right around the country are spending billions putting down rail tracks to create green transport, while he wants us to tear up the tracks we’ve already got? We have plenty of scenic new cycle routes, and will soon have many more quiet country roads, but we only have one railway that has been the spine of the region for more than a century. It can carry freight, cyclists, walkers, people who can’t cycle or walk, in fact everyone, between most parts of the Northern Rivers. Why would tourists want to ride through cow paddocks far from pubs and cafes when they can ride in rainforest or along foreshores? Let’s close the fossil fuel freeway and cycle the freeway-trail if we want a greener environment. And we’re not expecting expensive new trains under this government, we can wait for the National/Greens Alliance.

Rally: some pro amid all the con ■ Hi, you must be sick of this rally, well so am I! Sick of this negativity from the folk who don’t go out much, don’t like sport much, and only steer their cars from a to b... and their cars are most likely older and have far more emissions than any WRC car! I have been to a few WRC rallies in NZ and they are amazing! So much better live than on TV. Only a select few can drive this quick on such a narrow road, there is such skill involved, and such a beautiful backdrop, similar to the Tweed. The roads after the rally had been through were better than before, they had been so well prepared and the cars’ precision driving made them even better. I would be honoured to have it come by my place and volunteer any of my land or assistance they need. There are just as many volunteers as people who oppose this rally. Also more road kill happens at night than during a daytime rally. I’m so happy for this to be happening so close to my home, and hope parents or schools will take the kids, especially the billycart entrants, to see this exciting sport live. I only wish my dad got me a gocart when I was young... I wish it was September already! I’m a proud rally volunteer.

■ For those who think a rally is a great spectator event, I have news. The spectator must arrive at the stage well before the start. After parking, there is a good long walk to find a good view of an interesting passage. Then there is a long, long wait before the first rally car passes. When it does eventually, it passes in a flash and then there is a five minute wait between each car. The first few drivers, being generally skilled, can make for impressive viewing, but the Robin Spragg remaining drivers look no difJenny Hayes Terranora ferent than someone speeding Murwillumbah on any road.

back to the car, a traffic jam to get out, and that’s the end of the story. It is very anti-climactic. The only ones with the thrills are the rally drivers themselves unless of course you want to consider the young adults with hormones and adrenaline pumping through their veins seeking to emulate the drivers and having a thrilling time of it until they wrap themselves around a tree, to become more unfortunate wreaths on the side of our roads. As far as the WRC putting the Tweed region on the world map, the only people interested in the WRC are racing car fans. Have you noticed our sports mad news channels covering in depth other WRC events occurring in other countries, promoting their regions? I think not. What puts our region on the map is our absolutely unique fauna and flora. And that is exactly what is at stake with this inappropriate event with very limited public appeal. Peter Leighton

Stokers Siding ■ Incredible ! These brave motor race people (Repco Rally) are too gutless to face a possible refusal or conditions being set by local councils so they appeal to the NSW government to ensure they can go ahead with their high speed car rally in the Tweed /Kyogle areas. It’s like spoiled kids running to Daddy, crying ‘the mean old neighbours won’t let us trample their garden. Wah!’ So Big Daddy kicks the gates down. ‘There you go kids. Have fun.’ Why do we have to allow international motor brats to dominate our neighbourhoods? We locals are furious to have our democratic rights dismissed with such contempt. We pay for these roads and parks and are now forced to pay for their games. The out-of-touch NSW Minister for State Development, Ian Macdonald, must have a Plan B: a different job for after the next elections, which will take

place before the motor hoons get a second chance to vandalise our valley. But this event is far from a done deal: proposing legislation is not the same as having it passed. We the people will continue to object, and call on legislators to stand up for the rights of local people. Don’t let planning authority be taken to Sydney where deals are done in the dark. S Sledge

No Rally Group ■ After a number of weeks away,

as an objector to an activity which will impact on our ‘green cauldron’, I checked rally newspaper reports and letters. Sadly, too many have bastardised the idea of ‘thinking globally and acting locally’, a philosophy I have long supported, as long as any action taken is fair-minded and free from emotional hysteria that clouds facts. Some of the anti-rally actions are pretty rank: the continuing vilification of council staff and councillors who have had to cope with a state ‘done deal’ dumped on their doorstep through no actions of their own; and veiled threats that have been drip-fed into letters and statements. No wonder the state stepped in. Council now has to cut through the bad will that has been created and win support from the rally organisers for actions to alleviate impacts. Barbara Fitzgibbon

Kingscliff ■ I read with alarm that the NSW State Government is to take the decision-making authority from the shire council to fast-track the rally application. While not fundamentally opposed to the rally, I am very concerned when the democratic process appears to be hijacked. A development application was due to come before council next month, which would have given the community the opportunity to comment. I understand this will no longer happen.

I also read the State is to take away other planning functions from the shire. Would you please consult with one another urgently and come up with a unified response to these issues, which endanger the very basis of our democracy. John Pitt

Terranora ■ Opponents of the Repco Rally have been advised to quit the protests and ‘Give it a go’. Such comments miss the point completely. It is the first principle of medicine and other caring sciences that one does not risk harm. It is the so called ‘cautionary’ principle that says that if there is a possibility of harm occurring, one does not proceed. When in doubt, don’t. The volumes of reports of an economic, ecological and social nature that the rally proponents are throwing at local newspapers are designed to conceal rather than reveal. Proponents of the rally claim that we are getting a ‘good’ rally as opposed to a ‘bad’ rally. Unfortunately for them, that comparison has never been the issue. The actual debate is between ‘any’ rally and ‘no’ rally. When a local newspaper quotes one expert saying that the rally is safe and the next day quotes an experienced rally driver saying there will be an unavoidable impact on local wildlife, we have no choice but to err on the side of caution. Repco screams that millions of dollars will soon flow, but our clear duty it to protect those who have no voice at all. Say no to the rally

Bringalong flowers, vines, leaves, sticks, coloured earth etc. and add your personal touch to this art planting (Heidi Keevers, the environmental sculptor co-ordinating this event, would like to stress that you need to bring these materials with you, not take them from the park). THERE WILL BE WILDFOOD WALKS for kids and adults and a simple circus skills workshop for children. ADDED TO ALL THIS FREE FUN AND ENTERTAINMENT will be a huge array of free workshops, talks and information, designed to answer your questions and inspire your participation in the solutions to global warming and the development of a sustainable future. THERE WILL BE SIX WORKSHOPS to choose from, on a wide variety of subjects, plus several expert speakers on stage (including the Greens member for the NSW Legislative Council, John Kaye). IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN LEARNING about the community response to the Repco Rally, strategies for non-chemical forest regeneration, the latest info on global warming, innovative ways to lower your carbon footprint, global citizenship, grass-roots responses to peak oil, and much more, come and check it out. LOTS OF COMMUNITY GROUPS will be on site to answer your questions on koalas, land care, wildlife caring, uranium, and all the current environmental issues. THIS EVENT IS AIMING FOR A LOW CARBON FOOTPRINT: you can buy a discounted tree and either plant it at home to help offset the electricity used on the day, or donate it to the Landcare stall, who will plant it on your behalf. The electricity used on the day will be offset by windpower, and the food outlets are using only environmentally sound plates, containers and cutlery. GET YOURSELF A PROGRAM from around town for more information about whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening, or check it out on the window of the Caldera Environment Centre in Queen Street, (near the town clock).

THE NATURAL WAY Chrissy Schulz, who has lost 30 kgs with The Natural Way says, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I can certainly identify with everyone out there who is feeling tired, overweight and stressed. I have always been overweight. I absolutely loved chocolate and found it very difďŹ cult to lose much weight at all. Over the years my weight blossomed. I was constantly tired, short of breath, had high blood pressure and the list goes on. By the time I reached age 48 my health had really started going downhill.

However what really made me stop and think was when I suddenly realised that I could no longer run around with my grandchildren! My niece lost nearly 20 kgs with The Natural Way, suggested that I look at their website which I did. That was it. I called the clinic and made an appointment. I started the program and at my ďŹ rst week back I had lost 3 kgs. WOW! From then on I never looked back and now for the ďŹ rst time, I am actually proud of myself. So what are you waiting for?

FRESH ORGANICS Red cabbage contains 36 different varieties of anthocyanins, a class of ﬂavonoids that have been linked to cancer protection, according to a new study conducted by researchers from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service (ARS) and published in the ‘Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry’. Anthocyanins are naturally occurring pigments that give fruits and berries their red, blue and purple coloration. A variety of studies have shown that in addition to protecting against cancer, anthocyanins can improve heart health and brain function. Another recent laboratory study by the ARS found that some varieties of anthocyanin have twice the antioxidant effect of vitamin C. The effects of those different antioxidants in the human body have not yet been tested.

It may be some help to know a little about trauma from a psychologist’s point of view. Traumatic events are unexpected and negative incidents that suddenly intrude on our daily lives. When we experience a traumatic event it is quite normal to have strong emotional or physical reactions. These reactions often remain after the traumatic event has ceased and can take days or weeks to subside. Physically we may feel exhausted, nauseous, and restless. We

may have disturbed sleep, nightmares, and headaches. We may experience poor concentration, poor memory, and confusion. There can be visual images of the event and intrusive thoughts. Emotionally we may experience fear, depression, guilt, anxiety, numbness, withdrawal and tearfulness. These symptoms are normal reactions. Although these symptoms can be distressing, they are part of the normal healing process. With understanding and support from family, friends and colleagues the stress symptoms usually resolve. If you experience these symptoms for longer than several weeks it is a good idea to seek professional assistance.

FRIDAY 5

1. Meryl Streep is remarkably athletic in the white water thriller The River Wild (Prime, Friday, 8.30pm). 2. Tom Cruise is the stone cold killer in Collateral (TEN, Saturday, 8.30pm), and Jamie Foxx is the perfect foil as the unuspecting cab driver. The people you pick up! 3. Colin Morgan plays the eponymous wizard in BBC’s latest adaptation of Merlin (TEN, Sunday, 6.30pm), which takes several liberties with the Arthurian legend, itself grafted onto earlier Celtic tales, for the benefit of a younger generation not raised on classical myths – or history, for that matter. John Hurt picks up a bit of pin money playing the voice of the dragon.

Dunborne Burmese are Beautiful

ARIES: With your planetary ruler Mars in Taurus this is a peak week for repair work on your house, car and physical vehicle, or for making relationship adjustments. Yes, you’ll have to stick at things till they’re finished, but the results will be highly satisfying.

communications are improving, misunderstandings clarifying, complications unraveling and the present star scenario contributing so much astral fortitude, grit, grunt and staying power for resolving what you thought were deadlocks.

TAURUS: A Mars/Venus conjunction in Taurus rockets relationships to the head of this month’s agenda – but in a good way. And Mercury moving forward again in your sign has people listening to you – so buying, selling and earning all get the green light this week.

LEO: With teamwork this month’s theme, socializing’s likely to provide much better opportunities than slogging it out solo. But right now you do need to choose strong partners who can support and assist you rather than surrounding yourself with high maintenance people who need help.

GEMINI: The Sun in your house of drive and ruler Mercury in the sign of tenacity give you focus and follow through this week. Avoid arguing or pushing too hard though – getting ahead depends on getting along. You’re in the mood for a new winter look? It’s time… CANCER: Angsting over temporary setbacks is a dreadful energy drain, so don’t go there – not when personal

VIRGO: Your ruler Mercury in an earth sign plus Saturn’s wind beneath your wings make this a progressive week for Virgos. Your service skills and attention to detail work well in this climate, so don’t be shy about promoting yourself to someone who could be a valuable mentor. LIBRA: June favors partnerships and long range plans, and this week provides information

you can put to immediate use. Right now your presentation’s impressive, your ideas cook, and the key to success is working with things the way they are rather than how you think they should be. SCORPIO: This week’s about communicating: do it or you’re not likely to get what you want. The whole month of June will call on all your resources – financial, physical, mental and emotional – so best decide what drains them, what supports them and how to make best use of them. SAGITTARIUS: The harder you push this week’s people, the more resistance you’ll come up against. But playing down your natural Sagittarian straightforwardness in favour of a more lateral approach (listening, empathizing, offering low key suggestions) is more likely to get the cooperation you want. CAPRICORN: If people aren’t taking you seriously this week, you’re strongly advised to join them by doing whatever

CHESS by Ian Rogers

Australian chess books have been as rare as Anand blunders, so to see two appear in the past year seems like an embarrassment of riches.

The Presets, Architecture in Helsinki The Presets are a pair of avant-garde Aussies who, while forging a musical path that wouldn’t be unfamiliar to acts like Daft Punk, Nine Inch Nails, and the Faint, don’t mind dragging disco along for the ride. Julian Hamilton (production, keyboards, vocals) and Kimberley Moyes (production, drums, programming) met in the early ‘90s as students at Sydney’s Conservatorium of Music. Both were there to study classical music, but as they delved into the great composers, neither could forget an extracurricular love of ‘80s pop: the Smiths, Pet Shop Boys, Björk, New Order. So instead of abandoning their passion for music’s lighter side, they bonded over it, composing music at school by day and dancing to acid house by night. The future is completely open for Architecture in Helsinki. 2007’s groundbreaking, ground-shifting crossover album Places Like This presented countless threads the band could follow. Their fans have come to expect the unexpected, and so have the band themselves. Over three albums, Architecture in Helsinki have secured for themselves a unique position; where anything is possible, but nothing is predictable. Both acts perform at the Gold Coast Convention Centre, Saturday June 6.

THE PRESETS GOLD COAST CONVENTION CENTRE, 8PM

The Presets official tour After Party It was only a few years ago that Elsewhere hosted a Presets (and Cut Copy) gig where the duo presented a disco sound with hard electronic edges to a fairly limited audience of 20 people. Those present were there to see this rising talent blossoming. Today the duo are packing out arena’s Australia wide, and they return to the place where it all began on the Gold Coast for their intimate official Presets After Party. Thankfully after the Brisbane concert sold out The Presets added a Gold Coast date to their plethora of Australian dates, with nothing less than electro pop sensation Van She supporting.

Steve Poltz and Gregory Page The singer from The Rugburns is best known for his hilarious storytelling and witty personality, defying all traditional definitions in the song writing genre. This is a rare artist who is as comfortable touring with such noted national acts like Bob Dylan, John Mellencamp, Jewel, The Wallflowers, Bare Naked Ladies, Rusted Root and Lucinda Williams in arenas, as well as performing intimate shows in any city in America or around the world. Successfully shattering the traditional troubadour mold, Poltz has most gloriously been compared to unique performers and songwriters like John Prine and Tom Waits. This tour marks Poltz’s eighth visit to Australia making new fans and friends along the way. Soundlounge, Friday June 5.

These are the times when one wishes there was a video referee installed in the home so that the innocent faces with wide eyes claiming â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do anythingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; could be played back to reveal the identity of the mystery biter. As a parent one is left purely with intuition. A part-time Perry Mason who has to go on gut instinct and minimal evidence to piece together a kiddie crime scene and ascertain if the victim is in fact the victim and not in fact the perpetrator. An experienced parent knows that the child weeping on the floor is not always the victim. Often theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been the antagonist, taunting their prey until the viper strike. Pay dirt. Now the wrong child will be punished. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Mum, she hit me,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; claims the taunter. Mum comes in, does a quick reconnoitre and the child who was taunted to violence is sent to the room and grounded. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another win for the secret provocateur who has learnt the valuable lesson that a successful acting career always starts at home. I

reckon Nicole beat the crap out of Antonia. Parenting books donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t prepare you for this. They suggest things like â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;normative consequences.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; OK, she just hit him in the head in the Kmart carpark, what is the normative consequence? In Ballina I imagine itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to buy a flanalette shirt, get a mullet and let him whack her back. What about just leaving the child there for a few hours to think about their actions? â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Mummy is leaving you at Dunkin Donuts so you can think about your behaviour.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s be honest. Nothing works. Back to the violence at hand. There is still crying coming from the loungeroom. A parent knows the sound of real injury. This is somewhere in between so will need intervention. When I was a kid my mum would just say: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;If you are going to fight then do it outside.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Providing we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t harming the furniture or upsetting the ornaments, we were able to tear each other apart in the backyard. I arrive at the crime scene and demand a witness statement. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;She kicked me in the headâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Child is on the floor holding an icepack on his forehead. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a red mark. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s convincing. The alleged assailant is sprawled on her stomach on the couch looking surly. She immediately enters her plea for defence. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;It was an accident.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; So, the sister claims to have accidentally kicked her brother in the

head. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Accidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is dangerous territory. No parent wants to emotionally traumatise a child who has caused harm without evil intention. The situation requires an instant verdict. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I have never in my life accidentally kicked someone in the head.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The mother has spoken. The convicted head kicker is now furious. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;It was an accident. An accident.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The mother quietly puts her in the bedroom and instructs her to come out when she has thought about her behaviour. Not because this actually works, but because she canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think of anything else to say thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remotely parental. I might have well as said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;come out when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m wearing blue shorts.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Half an hour later my daughter emerges. She has written a song. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;It was an accident.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; She strums a few discordant notes and breaks into song: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;When I cooked your food I put some poison in it, but it was an accidentâ&#x20AC;Ś when I ran you over in the street, it was an accident, when I put my foot out and tripped you and you hit your head it was an accident.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Her remorseless rant went on. I was in hysterics. She was instantly forgiven, not because she was sorry, but because she had used the situation to demonstrate a much more complex learning. My ten year old daughter had discovered irony.

Friday Night Football in Pottsville AFL in the Northern Rivers region is experiencing great success with the introduction of its new Friday night Super 8s competition. Players and parents are showing their support for the new concept that kicked off earlier this month by supporting it in big numbers. In 2008, AFL Northern Rivers Juniors hosted seven Under 8 teams in its traditional Sunday morning format. This year however, with the program being regionalised to the same venue and time slot, there are now fourteen Under 8 teams playing.

Speaking about the increase in junior teams playing, AFL Queensland Game Development Manager Corey Bell said it’s been a great result. ‘We trialled the Super 8s concept in a pilot format last year and had great interest,’ he said. ‘This showed us the community wanted the Super 8s format on a Friday night because it is played at the same time and same location every week.’ A large number of the players who play in the new Friday competition have come through the NAB AFL Auskick program, which gives kids the chance to learn the skills of the

game in a fun and safe environment, and with the activities developed specifically for their age and abilities. As well as the under 8s match program on Friday nights, the venue also hosts a Club Auskick program for 5 and 6 year olds. The venue for the Super 8 competition is at Pottsville Oval between 5.30 and 7pm. To find out more about the Super 8s visit the AFLNRJ website www.footyrulez.com or contact Brian Walshe on 0439 003 721 and to find out where your local AFL Auskick program is being held visit www.aflauskick.com.au.

And word is, the NSW government intervened in the rally approval process when the peak motorsport body, FIA, sent a message from Paris to the local organisers, asking what was going on with all this protest business. The FIA should be used to controversy: its head is Max Mosley, whose idea of fun is being whipped by prostitutes dressed in Nazi uniforms (no, we didn’t make that up).

Outside council, the protest grew louder but staff stayed well indoors. One staffer having a quick squiz outside observed wryly that others indoors were probably a little edgy about sneaking a look or, heaven forbid, showing any moral support for the protesters. It seems they are only too aware that their boss also sits on the rally board.

The main residence is 540 square meters under roof with a fully en-suited studio, just a short walk through your landscaped native gardens. There is a large dam with jetty that supplies the water for the automated garden irrigation. A David Perry award winning home for the 2002 NRMA design awards.

The other colourful protest rally last Thursday afternoon saw Murwillumbah’s CBD swell by over 300 people as the marchers, placard wavers, chanters, wildlife mascots, marshalls and ordinary folk young and old flowed down Main Street to the council steps. Interestingly, the only vocal opponents to the protest which Backburner noticed were four people. Two of those were the town’s business chamber head and her husband, who have a potential business interest in the rally rolling on, while the other two were town drunks who spilled out of different pubs to hurl abuse at protesters (who wisely ignored them). One even told a marcher in costume to ‘get a life’. Now that’s a very black pot calling the kettle names.

Award Winning Home on 6 Acres

pollies at Murwillumbah railway station last week that the ALP’s Richmond MP Justine Elliot was a no-show in the multi-partisan show of support for a rail link to Queensland. To be fair on our federal MP, she was invited but the pollies knew she would be unable to attend the rally because parliament was sitting in Canberra.

Hastings Point residents have posed a tricky question about advertising standards which has now landed in the lap of the federal Attorney General, Robert McClelland. Readers may recall that a number of locals were bothered by a series of full-page unattributed advertisements in a local paper which they think defamed them. They say the ads were able to take cheap shots at them but they had no automatic redress or right of reply unless they paid for their own ads. They reckon such ads should be similar to political ones requiring the author’s identity. After their complaint was flick passed from the Advertising Standards Board to the Press Council, it was referred to communications Minister Stephen Conroy who has now passed it on to Mr McClelland, expressing his concern. Backburner suspects the minister will find it convenient Dancer Diane Wilder rehearses for an upcoming physical theto do nothing. atre performance.
