Rally goes ahead subject to review Luis Feliu

Tweed and Kyogle Shire councils may be given some power to review the controversial world rally after the first event with the inclusion of an amendment in the special legislation pushed through state parliament yesterday to enable the event to go ahead in September. Details of the the Motor Sports (World Rally Championship) Bill 2009 were unveiled when the bill was passed by the Upper House late on Tuesday night and was set to be approved by the Lower House yesterday (Wednesday). Both Tweed MP Geoff Provest and Lismore MP Thomas George, whose seat covers many of the rally stages including Murwillumbah, were yesterday set to vote for the legislation in the Lower House now the review or sunset clause has been included.

Democracy ‘dumped on’ But Greens North Coast MLC Ian Cohen, who voted against it, said the special legislation had been a fait accompli which ‘well and truly dumped on the democratic process’. Mr Provest claimed credit for the amendment on ABC Radio yesterday morning which infuriated his National Party colleague Mr George. ‘I’m absolutely disgusted, he [Mr Provest] was going to cross the floor on this and it was me who pushed for it, yet he gets all the glory,’ he told The Echo. ‘He was definitely against it, yet I did the work with our Upper House bloke, Duncan Gay, to get it in and pushed for council and community to be covered, then he tries to get the credit. I’ve made it clear all the way where I stood and never made a song

and dance about it like he did’. Mr Cohen said the legislation ‘turns off key environment and land use planning legislation and takes away common law rights’. ‘The Bill overrides the National Parks and Wildlife Act, the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, the Threatened Species Conservation Act, the Forestry Act, the Water Management Act, the Fisheries Management Act and the Local Government Act.’

‘Much better outcome’ Mr Provest, on the other hand, who took all credit for the amendment in a press release, said it was ‘a much better outcome because it gives local people a say’ in that the law compelled state development minister Ian Macdonald to conduct a formal review of the rally after the first event in September. ‘Specifically, the Minister will be required “to ensure that the review includes consultation with the local community of the Northern Rivers region, Kyogle Council and Tweed Shire Council” and report back to Parliament,’ he said. Mr George said earlier in the week that he would support the legislation as long as it provided the opportunity for councils to review it after the first rally. Lawyers from the Environmental Defender’s Office (EDO) Northern Rivers say the rally bill ‘runs a red light on democracy’ and it has ‘no liability on the part of rally organisers for nuisance claims, so if your property is damaged, you cannot sue for compensation’. The legislation approves five events every second year till 2017 with an option for another five till 2027

Brotherly love inspires brushwork Roxanne Millar

Banora Point’s Ashleigh Blake (pictured) isn’t like most teenage girls with three boisterous younger brothers competing for attention at home. When she faced her toughest artistic challenge, instead of avoiding her brothers, she turned to them for inspiration, immortalising them in a painting chosen for a major exhibition. The 19-year-old former Kingscliff High School student painted portraits of her brothers Harrison,14, Joshua, 9, and Riley, 6, for her major HSC artwork last year. It has since been selected for the HSC art exhibition Artexpress, which travels around NSW displaying work by the best of 2008’s grade 12 artists. Only 310 out of almost 10,000 art students had work selected for the exhibition and only 65 of those students’ continued on page 2 works will be on display at the Tweed

River Regional Art Gallery from today (Thursday). Ashleigh predicts her eldest brother Harrison will be a little embarrassed by the painting, considering his efforts to avoid sitting for a portrait. ‘He didn’t like it at all so I really had to chase him around with the camera to get something to work with,’ she said.

‘He’s a little model’ ‘My youngest brother was much better, he has heaps of character and lots of facial expressions – he’s a little model.’ It was her brothers’ unique characters that Ashleigh hoped to capture for the public to ‘show people who don’t know them what they are like’. To achieve this, she captured each boy’s face separate from their body, with each body depicted performing one of the boy’s hobbies. ‘By having no head I allowed the

audience to (see) a person who had an outer character, shown in the body, completed with an inner character depicted in the variety of facial expressions,’ she said. ‘I really wanted to work with my family because I know them so well, which lets me put more emotion in my work.’ Ashleigh has since graduated from high school and is studying occupational therapy at Southern Cross University in Tweed Heads. She hasn’t picked up a paintbrush since the monumental HSC piece. ‘I really want to get back into it and I will because I have realised there is something missing in me and that I can’t be happy if I’m not painting.’ Former Murwillumbah High School HSC student Joe Miller’s selfportrait ‘Who Am I’ was the second Tweed entry in Artexpress, showing at the Tweed River Regional Art Gallery from June 25 to August 9.

Uki is calling all artists Roxanne Millar

Uki is continuing with its drive to become the artistic heart of the Tweed with a performance extravaganza planned for next month. Cabaret 360 hopes to highlight the area’s often forgotten performance-based artists with a spectacular show featuring performances ranging from poetry to pole dancing. Organiser Hamilton Barnett wants dancers, actors, comedy acts, circus performers, performance poets, singers and musicians to audition for the inaugural event. ‘There doesn’t seem to be much for the performing arts in this area, so I really wanted to organise an event that puts the focus on these people, who are sometimes overlooked in favour of visual artists,’ he said. ‘The reaction so far has been really enthusiastic. I have an amazing beat boxer involved, a tap dancer, circus artist and comedy pole dancing.’ Hamilton is a performance-based artist himself, having trained Circus Oz in his early days. He travelled the world as a street performer for many years and participated in a variety of independent produc-

tions before moving to Uki six years ago. ‘With the Ukitopia Arts Collective, really amazing things are happening in this area that are proving great for the local artistic community,’ he said. Performers are invited to

send a YouTube clip or description of their act to cabaret360@ gmail.com or call Hamilton on 0439 021 233 before June 28 to register their interest. The extravaganza will be held at the Uki Hall on July 31. Stay tuned for ticket info.

Tweed mayor Joan van Lieshout said she would have been very disappointed if the provision for a review was not included. Kyogle mayor Ross Brown said his council also had pushed for the power to review. Mr Cohen said, ‘Democracy is being dumped on with this legislation, the minister is overriding all planning and environmental laws to force this rally to go ahead through an internationally recognised biodiversity hotspot, Australia’s Green Cauldron. ‘This legislation will rid the FIA [the rally’s world governing body] and Repco Rally Australia of the nagging problems of disgruntled local councils, indigenous cultural heritage, endangered species, environmental concerns and worried residents by overriding the lot of them. Add to that some funding from Events NSW – how much funding is “commercial in confidence” – and it’s a stitched up deal. ‘Indigenous people have not been well treated by the rally and the Cultural Heritage Assessment (CHS) has not even been finalised. One person was selected to represent all Aboriginal interests. The draft CHS, which should consider the possible impact on significant Aboriginal sites, has been considered for only three of the rally’s 15 competitive stages.

‘There are two distinct Aboriginal groups in the area, the Githabul and Bundjalung, yet only the Githabul were consulted about the rally. Only community members can decide the degree of significance of a site to an Aboriginal community. ‘Western Australia withdrew its support for the rally in that state because their Tourism Minister said it is not a good return on investment. The NSW Government’s own Tourism Task Force recommends the branding and marketing of “iconic sustainable nature tourism experiences” in our national parks. This rally is hardly an iconic sustainable nature tourism experience,’ Mr Cohen said.

Dancing to FIA’s tune The No Rally Group (NRG) said the forcing through of the legislation confirms that the NSW government ‘dances to the tune of the Paris-based FIA and its president Max Mosley by putting sectional interests above the interests and wellbeing of the local community.’ NRG president Michael McNamara said the deal had been done in the back rooms last year. ‘Speaker after speaker [in the parliament debate] highlighted the legitimate community concerns about this event yet the government turned a deaf ear to the voices of local

communities,’ he said. ‘The government has been prepared to ride roughshod over the democratic rights and the legal entitlements of local communities to force this event on us, overriding the provisions of numerous state laws.’ EDO solicitor Sue Higginson said the legislation prevented local councils and communities from having a say about the rally through the normal planning process. ‘It also circumvents a thousand years of common law rights,’ she said. The EDO, on behalf of its client group, submitted a Freedom of Information (FOI) request to find out how much NSW taxpayers were subsidising the rally, but was refused access to this information because Events NSW, which is owned by the state government, is a company and is not required to disclose this information. The EDO will hold a free public workshop for Kyogle and Tweed residents at Uki Hall this Saturday, June 27, from 2.30pm-4.30pm, covering other relevant legislation, the rights and obligations of residents along the route and protesters, the carbon offset plan and the involvement of wildlife carer groups.

After 10 years of living out of a suitcase, volunteer group Tweed Palliative Support (TPS) has finally unpacked for good, thanks to the life-saving actions of a terminally ill woman. The 10-year-old organisation has moved into hospice the Bright Side of Life in Dulguigan after its former owner Jill Cooper cut the price to allow the cash-strapped group to purchase it. Battling a terminal illness herself, Jill slashed $500,000 off the $1.6 million asking price, rejecting an offer of $1.4 million to keep her vision of caring for terminally ill people alive. Last month, Tweed Palliative Support moved into the purpose-built four-bedroom property, their first permanent home. But it almost didn’t happen. The volunteer organisation had only $100,000 to put towards the hospice, and was saved at the 11th hour by a mystery Murwillumbah resident who loaned them $1 million. ‘It was about to go to auction and we felt it was such a beautiful place with a beautiful vision that we thought maybe we could buy it, somehow raise some money,’ she said.

‘Thankfully, an anonymous donor lent us $1 million but we still thought that wouldn’t be enough because the asking price was $1.6 million and she had an offer of $1.4 million. ‘We never thought she would accept our offer of $1.1 million but she thought about it a few days and decided she wanted the hospice to stay in the community.’

The new headquarters is giving the group the stability to better support its volunteer carers and cancer support groups as well as the opportunity to gradually offer respite care. ‘This centre is essential because there is no hospice between Arundel and Coffs Harbour, which is outrageous,’ Meredith said. ‘If people don’t have a prima-

ry carer, they go to the hospital or nursing home to die. It is not appropriate when we have a lot of young people with terminal illnesses. They do not belong in a nursing home.’ A fundraising concert on July 12 at 2pm to begin repaying the loan will be held at their new base, now renamed Wedgetail Retreat. For details call 6672 8459.

Planning panel shortlist set to be axed The appointment of local representatives to a controversial planning panel has been delayed by a group of Tweed Shire councillors who want to tear up a shortlist of candidates. Warren Polglase, Phil Youngblutt and deputy mayor Barry Longland have lodged a rescission motion against last week’s decision to shortlist five of 11 nominees to the northern Joint Regional Planning Panel. A special meeting will now be held on Tuesday, June 30, to deal with the motion. Interviews with the shortlisted five candidates originally planned for the same day have been cancelled, although councillors have expressed a desire to still talk to the applicants. Greens councillor Katie Milne said she hoped they

would get a consensus to try and interview all candidates before the state government’s deadline for a decision. But that doesn’t look likely, with Planning Minister Kristina Kenneally’s office confirming councils must nominate their representatives by July 1. Ms Kenneally has asked councils throughout the state to nominate two representatives and a reserve to the panel, which will also include three government appointed members. They will make recommendations to Ms Kenneally on infrastructure and eco-tourism projects worth more than $5 million and residential and commercial developments worth more than $10 million. Many NSW councils, includ-

ing Byron Shire, are refusing to cooperate with what they see as the minister’s power grab. At a Tweed council meeting on June 16, councillors revealed a shortlist of candidates comprising Tyalgum resident Peter Bennett, former council manager Dr John Griffin, engineer Steven Grimes, Brisbane barrister Robert Quirk and planning associate professor at Bond University Dr Ned Wales. If the rescission motion is successful, back on the list will go former Greens councillor Henry James, former council town planner Douglas Jardine, former senior council engineer Don McAllister, Pottsville Business Chamber head Tania Murdock, Murwillumbah resident Lisa Townsend and Uki environmentalist Ronald Wolff.

Hunting bill shot down Widespre ad opp osition against a controversial plan to allow hunting of wildlife in national parks has prompted NSW Premier Nathan Rees to publicly reject it. Mr Rees on Tuesday said the government would not support in full a Shooters Party Bill to allow for the hunting of sulphur-crested cockatoos, kangaroos, black swans, galahs, grey teals and Pacific black ducks, among many other animals in national parks. Mr Rees said negotiations would be ongoing, although ‘we reject the hunting in parks as put forward’. Former north coast MLC Richard Jones, who lobbied ministers urging them to reject the legislation, said the government would face voter backlash from all environmentalists. RSPCA Australia condemned the Bill saying it was a blatant attempt to disguise recreational hunting as conservation.

‘There is no possible conservation benefit to be derived from letting untrained shooters loose in our national parks,’ RSPCA chief scientist Dr Bidda Jones said. Dr Jones said if the Bill was passed ‘not only will duck hunting be revived in NSW but a host of new animals will be added to the hit list including iconic Australian birds like swans and cockatoos. ‘Most concerning is the Shooters Party’s proposition to amend the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act so to allow ‘canned hunting’ on private game reserves, where animals are captured and then released just to be shot by hunters shortly after. The potential for cruelty is enormous. ‘The Bill contains no measures to protect the welfare of animals shot by recreational hunters and flies in the face of the progress made in recent years.’

Community grants on offer Tweed community groups can now apply for grants from the Tweed electorate’s $400,000 share of the NSW government’s new $35 million Community Building Partnership program. The eligibility criteria allows community groups and Tweed Shire Council to seek funding for a variety of projects like

repairs to community halls, cycleways or improvements to sporting fields. Applications close on August 10. Projects must start within six months and be completed by the end of next year. For info and application forms visit www.communitybuildingpartnerships.nsw.gov. au.

Performing arts fest draws 6,000

It may be 78-years-old, but the Murwillumbah Festival of Performing Arts is by no means shaky on its feet or hankering for an early night in bed. The annual month-long song, dance and drama extravaganza kicks off tomorrow (Friday) with one of its biggest programs and some of its most energetic performances ever. Proving age is just a number, the festival will expand its dance component this year from a two-day event to three days, after more than 350 dance groups registered to perform, 70 more

than the previous year. Festival director Arthur Holmes is expecting almost 6,000 children to perform, with some entrants coming from as far south as Newcastle. He urged locals to attend some of the shows and see tomorrow’s stars of Broadway, today. ‘The most rewarding thing for the performers is to have an audience, but often we don’t have as many audience members as we ought to for such great performances,’ he said. Murwillumbah Primary School is just one of many Tweed schools taking part and has just formed an alliance with

surrounding schools that could make them a formidable competitor next year. Murwillumbah High and Wollumbin High, along with all of their feeder primary schools, have joined together to form the Murwillumbah Wollumbin Learning Community. The community will share resources and ideas for sport, music and drama projects as well as develop transitioning programs for students finishing primary school and entering high school. Murwillumbah Primary principal Robyn Edwards said it would result in better oppor-

tunities for students and better relationships at high school. ‘All schools will be teaching the same values program, which will enhance student’s self esteem and eliminate any nastiness and competition for the sake of winning,’ she said. ‘And there are many advantages to having everyone’s experience in sport, music and drama.’ The Festival of Performing Arts runs from today (Thursday) to July 22 at the Murwillumbah Civic Centre. A full program is available at the Centre. ■ See our feature, page 11

Kevin’s integrity survives ‘smoking gun’ Volume 1 #42

June 25, 2009

Rally-ho The government’s controversial special legislation smoothing the road for the taxpayer-and-ratepayer funded world rally motor-sport circus was rammed through both houses of state parliament this week, as expected. The event will now certainly be staged through Tweed and Kyogle shires for this year, and is intended for at least another four repeats on a twoyearly basis. It was bad enough for the state, in cahoots with rally organisers, to have carried on for almost two years with the whole charade of putting the event through the proper local planning processes and community input. It was bad enough too when the organisers undertook another charade of public consultation and reports on environmental, ‘social’ and other impacts, with the most important one discredited after organisers were forced to apologise for ‘accidentally’ putting words in their ecological expert’s mouth, words which enthusiastically endorsed the rally in direct contravention of his actual opinion. It was also bad, but totally expected, when the government ripped out the democratic right of local councils to examine for themselves an event – in reality an elitist dinosaur motor sport entertainment – which they would not only have to live with for years to come but would also have to help fund and organise with volunteer and council support. At the eleventh hour an amendment allowing the right to review matters after the first rally, a right which had been sought by both mayors and the three local MPs, was included to appease them. If the event has to go ahead, local communities must be able to decide if it is worth continuing (and funding with the public purse of course) well into the future. But whether a development application for the next rally in 2011 will be part of the review process, we will have to wait and see. If the government’s attitude to date is anything to go by, don’t hold your breath for any meaningful review after September’s inaugural event. When the Greens’ Upper House MLC Ian Cohen asked serious questions last week about the rally, he was ridiculed by the minister, who, like an obnoxious little schoolboy, made fun of the North Coast MP in parliament, telling him he may even come up to watch the race with him and ‘commune’ together. This facetious attitude sums up the government’s hubris and collective attitude to the electorates of the far north coast. Let’s face it, if having to make a special law and declare what amounts to state-of-emergency rule for a private, commercial operator’s gain is a priority of this government, then we live in a very sick world indeed, more so when the operator gets his cash secretly upfront, unlike the citizens who will never know what sort of return they’ll get for their forced investment. It makes the federal coalition’s recent complaints about preferential treatment by pollies for their mates look like, well, child’s play.

6 June 25, 2009 The Tweed Shire Echo

or well over two years the pundits, pollsters, psephologists and their fellow necromancers have been trying to figure out the secret of Kevin Rudd’s amazingly consistent popularity. How could a man who was so, well, ordinary scale such extraordinary heights of approval? But while the pundits disputed, one letter writer to the Sydney Morning Herald had no doubts. The answer lay in the single word ‘Integrity’. While most politicians saw it as an obscure and irrelevant philosophical concept, Rudd actually took it seriously – indeed, he lived by it. It was, and is, a wonderful political asset; but those who live by integrity can also die by it. And it is this that made the so-called Utegate furore so dangerous for the Prime Minister and his government. On the face of it, we are talking pretty trivial stuff, as the punters appear to realise. In Monday’s Brisbane CourierMail, hardly a Labor lovers’ journal, four out of the five letters on the subject berated the opposition for carrying on about the loan of a rusty truck when the country was teetering on the edge of recession. But this, unfortunately for Rudd and his treasurer Wayne Swan, is to miss the point. The real issue is not whether Rudd accepted a gift from a friend and neighbour, car dealer John Grant who also happened to be a petitioner, or even whether Rudd helped the donor to access government largesse. It is, quite simply, whether Rudd has told the unvarnished truth about the episode. For a while there was some doubt about this, while Sena-

tor Eric Abetz was apparently quoting from an email alleged to have come from Rudd’s office to Treasury. It turned out to be a fake, but the stakes were so high because misleading the parliament over such a matter is, for the traditionalists, a hanging offence. In recent years the penalty has seldom been enforced; John Howard got away with a blatant porky at least

consequences. But Turnbull has not produced the email; nor has Abetz, and nor have any of the Murdoch papers which have been gleefully carrying its alleged contents. The only evidence for its existence came from a Treasury official by the marvellously Dickensian name of Godwin Grech, and he has changed his story at least once, admits he may have got it wrong and

Turnbull will suffer most… he looks like a goose, and an obstinate and malicious one at that. by Mungo MacCallum once (when he denied having a meeting with Manildra boss Dick Honan) and undoubtedly standards have slipped over the last decade or more. But it should be remembered that Gough Whitlam sacked two senior ministers, Jim Cairns and Rex Connor, not because of incompetence or private or public laxity but simply for misleading parliament; and by doing so he ultimately brought down his own government. This is the level of integrity to which Rudd aspires. Fortunately for him, by the start of the week (when this is being written) the case against him was looking very shaky. For some time Malcolm Turnbull has been flogging the story of a smoking gun – the alleged email from Rudd’s office to Treasury – to anyone who would listen, and he actually stood over Andrew Charlton, the staffer who was supposed to have sent it, demanding that he confess or face fearsome

is now under investigation by the federal police. So unless the auditor general or the federal police, both of whom have been put on the case by Rudd himself, come up with evidence which exhaustive searches within the public service have missed, Rudd would appear to be home free. And since the case against Swan – that he corruptly gave Grant preferential treatment – only makes sense if he was doing so at Rudd’s behest, the government as a whole is pretty much off the hook. Some of the mud will probably stick; Rudd’s snow white image has undoubtedly been tarnished, which probably explains why he is so angry about it. But Turnbull will suffer most. Running with a hoax email need not be a capital crime, unless, of course, he knew it was a hoax or, worse still, was complicit in concocting it. But he still

looks like a goose, and an obstinate and malicious one at that. Turnbull’s political strength has always been his supposed intellectual prowess; if he turns out to be just another mug politician it will be an almighty fall, especially if it comes through the agency of a hapless Liberal Party mole named Godwin Grech. Turnbull will be seen, for a while at least, as a figure of fun, and, for a while at least, Peter Costello is still in parliament. Could he still be prevailed upon to make one last effort for the party for which, he says, he has sacrificed so much over the years and finally take the reins? The alternative, it is now clear, is to be remembered not, as Tony Abbott gallantly avers, the best Prime Minister we never had – he never even tried, so how could you tell – but as a sort of appendage to John Howard, useful and comfortable for a time, but, in the end, dispensable, like a piles cushion. Costello’s pride just might drive him to change his mind yet again, but if he did drag himself to the starting line it would involve breaking the habit of a lifetime. As early as 1997 the older and wiser heads in the press gallery picked him as too lazy and gutless. By 2007 all but his keenest barrackers had got tired of playing Waiting for Godot. Perhaps his political epitaph, like his political life, should come from that play, where one of the endlessly waiting tramps philosophises: ‘Let us not speak ill of the dead. Let us not speak well of them either. Let us not speak of them at all.’ Fly away, Peter.

Premature tick Given the size and impact of the proposed supermarket development earmarked for Cabarita Beach the residents’ association may like to inform more than 30 residents before they give it 100 per cent endorsement. While president Cath Lynch has been quick to give the retail plan the tick in the media I’ve got a funny feeling there may be a retraction in the wings now the ‘cat is out of the bag’. A very large proportion of the locals are critical that no notice of development has been erected anywhere in the town and outside of an obscure notice in the Tweed Link there has been no notification to residents. There appears to be a groundswell of objections to the size of the development and the impact it will have on the small coastal village. Many would argue that we don’t need a supermarket. Cabarita Beach has survived without one for 60-70 years and with one being approved at Casuarina, others in nearby Pottsville and Kingscliff, another proposed in Chinderah and a large 7-2-7 in town, there appears to be ample grocery outlets for locals to choose from. It should make for an interesting residents’ association meeting next July – hopefully the association can make an effort to notify each and every resident of the date, time and venue. It would be great to get a true indication of what the majority of the community thinks of the project. J Wilmen

Boyd family reunion I wish to advise your readers who are descendants of Thomas Boyd (1792-1858) and Eleanor Roach (1796-1881), that the family will be holding its third family reunion at the South Tweed Heads Sports Club, NSW, at 11am to 2pm on Sunday, August 2. This is to mark the 150th anniversary of the wreck of the Ebenezer on the Tweed River Bar on July 30, 1859, which involved the drowning of Hannah Boyd and her infant son Thomas (the family of John Boyd) and Mary Ann Boyd and her infant son Edward (the family of Edward Boyd). The two families were coming to join their husbands in the timber camp in present day South Tweed Heads when www.tweedecho.com.au

The Repco World Rally: like it or lump it Special legislation will be debated in the State parliament this week in relation to the FIA World Rally proposed for the Tweed/Kyogle shires in September. If enacted, the legislation will, among other things: allow the government and its ministers to regulate the rally without any judicial oversight; exempt the rally organisers from 12 pieces of state legislation; remove people’s rights of recourse to the courts for damages arising from a nuisance connected with the rally; be exempt from review for at least five years. The state government has all along justified the rally on grounds of it being a cash cow, stating it will generate ‘more than $100 million in direct economic benefits for New South Wales over the life of the agreement’. Yet the government has not published an economic impact analysis in support of this claim. If passed, this legislation will sweep away the rights of locally-elected councillors to scrutinise and control an event taking place here, instead placing such authority in the hands of those 900km away in Sydney. This is not a party political matter. Rather it is an issue that should alarm anyone concerned with upholding the democratic principles upon which this country was created.

they were drowned. The four Boyd brothers, John (18231896), Thomas (1826-1884), Edward Joseph (1829-1863) and Richard William (18351877) had come to the Tweed River in the early 1850s to cut cedar to send to their father’s timber yard in Sussex Street, Sydney. John Boyd and others saw the Ebenezer arrive the previous evening and when they could not see it the next morning, he rowed his boat from the inlet to the mouth of the Tweed River to see what had happened to it. When he got to the main river, he found his infant son floating up with the tide. His family said that he went grey over night. Thomas Boyd senior, had fought in Spain for over five years with Wellington’s army against the French. He and his family had come to Sydney in 1826 as part of the Royal New South Wales Veteran’s Company on the ship John

Wollumbin After attending the Repco Rally ‘community consultation’ session at Murwillumbah Civic Centre on Friday June 12, I left with none of my questions or concerns receiving adequate responses from rally officials. The whole exercise appeared to be a total sham with rally officials repeatedly responding that they couldn’t answer this or that question, without as much as taking notes of community concerns expressed. My questions concerned what arrangements were planned for residents’ access as the Traffic Impact Assessment indicated that Byrrill Creek Road would be a nonspectator stage of the rally and would be blockaded by police from 5.30am until 6.30pm on Friday September 4, a normal work day for most people. My concerns included school bus access and workers travelling to and from work as well as the cost of the extra fuel needed to travel the extra 30 kilometres to town on the imposed one-way route. My other question was why only three houses of the 16 at Pretty Gully community had received visits from rally representatives. Another two reported finding business cards on their doorstep; however, the phone number on it was not connected. Also had they considered or visited the other two communities on the Byrrill Rally Stage that would include another 50 or more homes and families affected by the road

closures and rally? What about the school bus? Is that locked out until after 6.30pm also? After several minutes trying to have my concerns allayed by an official who said he was the ‘Marketing Manager’ and was either unable or unwilling to provide answers, I became frustrated with his ‘like it or lump it’ attitude and insisted that he find someone who could answer my concerns, as their office is located in the adjoining Tweed Shire Council offices. I asked if Mike Rayner might be available as he had allegedly been appointed to the rally committee to protect the interests of the Tweed Shire community, however he had more important engagements than listening to the concerns of the community he allegedly represents. He was also unable to provide any of his staff to take notes at the community consultation sessions on his behalf. Are we sure he is not on the committee to make sure the rally has its way with the Tweed? After a short wait the Marketing Manager returned with a young sports management graduate from the Gold Coast, Sam Pearce, who he introduced as the ‘Operations Manager’. Sam was able to provide a planned schedule for the Byrrill Stage which showed residents

could exit before 9.15am and briefly between 1 and 1.30pm. However, he was not aware that there even was a school bus or how many residents would be affected and was unable to provide any answers for the shift workers who normally travel during the lockdown hours. He did advise, however, that no compensation was available

for extra costs or loss of amenity by residents, although they could watch the event from their own premises at their own risk. Sounds like the ‘like it or lump it’ slogan is now the official response to community concerns. John Morrison

TAURUS: Whether your social self wants to shop for musthave indulgences this week, or you’d frankly rather just sleep, eat and do nothing at all then follow your body’s call. If you remember to give it some soul food as well, you’ll simply cruise through this harmonious week. GEMINI: This week might drive others inside by the fire but Geminis will do best out and about, or even better off enjoying a reviving getaway. Because after recent changes you’re not the old you any more, and not likely to ever be again. How good is that? Picking a winner of this week’s Oceania Zonal in Tweed Heads – the start of the long qualifying process leading up to a 2011 World Championship match – is a difficult task, though it is safe to say that the sole qualifier for November’s World Cup in Siberia will be an Australian. Australia’s number one, Grandmaster Zhao Zong Yuan, is top seed and heavy favourite but the 22-year-old from Coffs Harbour has played only once in 2009 – a solid performance at the Sydney International – and could be rusty. In addition, Zhao has indicated that he would be unlikely to be available to travel to a second World Cup in Siberia so his killer instinct may be muted. Australia’s newest Grandmaster, David Smerdon, will be looking to follow up this month’s NSW Open win and on form is the man to beat. However there is a traditional post-Grandmaster title hangover which Smerdon, 24, may struggle to overcome. Despite the presence of many of the best players from

LIBRA: Jupiter’s just hit your house of relationships for its twelve yearly upgrade, so this week tests your value judgments. Don’t be too quick to write off someone’s style – their substance may be just what’s needed in an area where you could use some help.

CAPRICORN: Knowing when to hold on is strength, knowing when to let go is wisdom say the Chinese, and it really makes zero sense to keep investing in a past that’s no longer working when there’s a future out there with your name on it.

LEO: The astral weather report predicts a spectacular week for Leos. If for pressing personal reasons that’s not happening, it should be by end of week Leo moon. If you’ve had difficulties, and who hasn’t, this week brings meaning, dignity, recognition and best of all, rave reviews…

SCORPIO: If feelings and desires which have been simmering for some time appear steaming on this week’s boardroom or dining room table, don’t make it a power struggle. Forget confrontational – embrace, encompass and include are your key verbs for smooth solutions and transitions.

AQUARIUS: As Saturn’s financial squeeze on your money eases, this week’s astral emphasis is on home issues, visitors and family members. Only you can decide who exhausts and drains you and what supports and stimulates you – what makes your heart sink or zing…

VIRGO: Saturn’s handing you success on a stick this week in the form of personal growth and expansion – that’s if you can widen your horizons, embrace change and stay open to new people, places, experiences, ideas and ways of taking your work further. And that must be work you love.

SAGITTARIUS: Satisfaction’s readily available at present from simple pleasures, which in your case means not rushing about, taking it easy and pampering yourself with lots of what you love. Before next week embarks on a rock-your-world whirl of inner and outer personal renovation…

PISCES: This week’s excellent for taking financial initiatives. Even though the truly huge upgrade in your personal economy isn’t scheduled till next January, make sure it does manifest by taking the necessary steps and do the prep during the rest of this year. Starting now…

CANCER: As bright Cancer Sun/new Moon begin your Cancerian new year and month of personal renewal, quickly review the last one (what you did well, what you didn’t), then give it a hug and kiss it off. Because the sooner you quit the past, the faster you’ll move forward.

Laura Skerlj at Larraine Bryant Retrospect Galleries at Curious Gallery Alstonville artist, Laura Sker- Chinderah

lj has thoroughly enjoyed putting together her first solo exhibition. ‘It’s nice to have a focus, to produce a whole body of work around one idea.’ Her exhibition,

The Exquisite Beast, is, she says, ‘an exploration of ideas of battles in nature, of giving and taking in nature, of changing between animal and human form, between the imaginary and the figurative.’ Skerlj went to University of Queensland. There she studied journalism, literature and art history. ‘I always loved both writing and art. I liked everything I was doing at UQ but I was really missing art. So, after graduation, I did a two year course in visual art at Southbank TAFE.’ While still studying in Brisbane, Skerlj began to explore ways of redesigning the figure; of ‘creating new creatures using animals and humans-anthropomorphic stuff’. She began looking at the idea of Exquisite Corpse, a game of collaborative imagination devised by the Surrealists. It began with words and, later, was adapted to drawing and collage. Rather like in a parlour game, one artist would begin a drawing, fold the paper over to conceal it, and pass it on. In her version of the game, Skerlj is sole player. ‘You have more of an idea of what’s going to come out–but I really like the idea of combining different elements and making new subjects.’ So what would she like people to take away from her exhibition? ‘I just hope that it shows some imagination about the crossing of animal and human forms and that people find it interesting. Some of it’s a bit strange and some of it’s a bit more beautiful.’ Until 19 July: 52 Jonson St, Byron Bay. On Sunday 5 July at 1.00pm Skerlj will be part of a panel discussion exploring The Feminine Subconscious in Art. Contact Retrospect Galleries for tickets. (02) 6680 8825

Larraine Bryant has called her exhibition All Things Beautiful. ‘I’ve been sketching since I was a little girl but painting, probably only the last eight years.’ Bryant, originally from Sydney, lives in Kingscliff. ‘The beauty of this area is very inspiring for artists.’ Originally, Bryant planned an exhibition of cat drawings and paintings. But her final assembled works range across people, places, animals and landscapes. ‘It’s about the beauty in life.’ It includes quite spare water colour and pencil works as well as colourful abstract acrylics. Until 19 July, 94a Chinderah bay Drive.

Joy Hobbs at Escape Gallery It is not surprising that Joy Hobbs loves a garden, or that she has called her exhibition Expressions of Joy, Joy in plants and flowers; joy in the natural environment. Essentially self taught, she’s been painting for around thirty years. ‘I was always interested in painting and drawing. I always had coloured pencils as a child.’ For this exhibition, Hobbs has worked in either acrylics or oils. ‘I haven’t used watercolours for this exhibition but, if you use acrylics on paper, you can get almost a water colour effect.’ What are the differences between working on canvas and working on paper? ‘It’s a totally different process because the acrylics soak into the paper, but working on canvas, you can treat the acrylics like oils.’ Her painting A Splash of Summer, a blaze of gerberas, is on canvas. ‘I knew I wanted a painting that was big, bold and bright so that decided canvas.

The Tweed River Art Gallery has an ongoing commitment to display the work of Aboriginal artists from northern NSW and SE Queensland. In 2008 the Gallery proudly hosted the NPWS Aboriginal Art Award, developing important links with a number of emerging artists from the region. From that group, the Gallery selected three artists to participate in a group exhibition to coincide with NAIDOC Week 2009. Three Views will include work by Nudge Blacklock, whose dynamic abstract landscape was selected as the 1st prize winner of the 2008 NPWS Award, powerful totemic portraits by 2nd prize winner Madeline Hodge and the deceptively simple, symbolic works of painter Casey Lee. June 19 until August 2.

KNIT PICKING Mandy Nolan

ust yesterday I received a package from my blind Nanna. In the absence of vision, she’d employed a woman down the street to knit a cardie set for my newborn. We’re talking booties, Amish style hat, the works. I was disappointed that it didn’t fit me. It has always amazed me that women of previous generations have held the rather ordinary magic that turns long pieces of string into objects. They are alchemists turning base matter into sweaters. With a few swift clacks they transform length into breadth. Einsten may have come up with relativity theory, but I know a woman who can knit socks. It almost confirms for me that God is in fact a woman. A very old woman who managed to knit one pearl one her way to a universe. If you think buttonholes are hard, try knitting water, or stars, or for something even more fiddly, human genitalia. Fortunately God was a believer in natural fibres. Unfortunately my grandmother’s friend is not. Like a lot of women of 70 plus, they prefer wool blends with polyester and acrylic, a hangover from the 40s when nylon was the new wonder product. I grew up in the country but I don’t remember

ever wearing a natural fibre. We were surrounded by sheep, but it was considered uncouth to use something as filthy as pure wool. I don’t think I saw cotton until I was a young woman living in the city. Mine was a polyester childhood. I was a baby in an acrylic romper suit nursed by a chiffon clad chainsmoking Mama. I am surprised that more polyester poppets didn’t end up with their beanies melted into their flesh. I still have a few tiny cardigans from when I was a baby. It’s amazing. They have a 500 year half life. My grandmother tried to teach me to knit. I made a selection of scarves, but sadly, my skill never progressed. I could only make uneven square slabs of wool. In an apocolyptic future, where a new ice age looms, women who can knit will be valued far more than women with big boobs and blonde hair. All hail the woman who can knit a tea cosy. In fact, I think it was the fact that women started to channel their post natal depression into what I call dead end knitting that the humble art lost favour with us feminist types. I looked at the tiny jumper my Nan made for the teapot and I once thought to myself, Oh God, please don’t let that be me. When I start

nurturing inanimate objects and worrying if they are warm enough it’s time to knit myself a coffin cover. When you start knitting covers for clothes hangers it’s a definite cry for help. When you’ve knitted a toilet dolly it’s over baby. It’s medication station. Being a woman who has always prided herself on intellect and wit I never stuck with the knitting. I looked down my long feminist nose at women’s craft and when I was at Uni I wrote essays on women’s subjugation remarking how sad that the sum total of a woman’s life might only be a few quilts and baby bonnets. It’s hard to dress a child in a thesis. At least those non-intellectual types had something to hand on. I have nothing to pass on to my children except a folder full of inappropriate jokes and photos of me in the nude. I ran into a friend who’d just been at her knitting group. Knitters who natter. These keepers of the dark art are modern day witches. There is something so wonderfully technology free about two sharp sticks, a length of wool and that soft clack clacking sound. People chatting. Its like an organic version of Twitter. Except it’s called Knitter.

NETBALL Murwillumbah The weather on Saturday certainly kept players on their toes, but those teams who got to play, enjoyed the run around. Netta and fun net were cancelled as the grass courts were too wet. Some brave young players tried to play, but the second down pour did them in. The 11/12 grade and the intermediates who were playing early, had similar problems. The games started as a downpour came over. After a second downpour, officials called the games off. As under half of the games were completed, they will not be entered into the scoresheets. At 12.30 the sun shone and we decided to go ahead with the rest of the day. Both sessions had to leave the court once due to rain, but all made it through gave some good spectator moments. (Sliding in the mud is good to watch, if it is not you and it is unexpected) So the results of the day were as follows: All 11/12 games a washout. Intermediate: The Storm v Spice Girls was a washout. Southern Cross Stars (P.A = Megan Albury) 28 d Get Smart Goal Getters (P.A = Jai Mai) 10 Open: Lady beetles forfeited to Tigers Flamin Devils (P.A = Aimee Ahu) 50 d Newbies (P.A = S. Bray) 11 Waratahs (P.A = Caitlin Rabjones) 21 d Cougars (P.A = Cathy Dowling) 20.

Cars using the Stotts Creek Resource Recovery Centre will be charged extra after the NSW government decided to slap rural landfills with a new charge. Drivers will now pay an extra 60 cents to dump waste and utes or trailers an extra $3 under the new Waste and Environment Levy, which Tweed Shire Council will remit to the state government each month. It’s the cash-strapped government whistling up another source of revenue, but by calling it an ‘environment levy’ a vaguely conservationist impression is intended. ■ ■ ■ ■

This week’s episode of Collectors on ABC TV at 8pm (Friday, June 26) features our very own Tweed River Art Gallery, in a segment about the exhibition Great Collections, which the gallery hosted earlier this year and is currently on show in Albury. Gallery director Susi Muddiman said the ABC crew ‘really seemed to love the exhibition and the gallery, it was a big coup for us to be one of only five galleries selected to show Great Collections’. ■ ■ ■ ■

A reader suggests NSW has become a dictatorship now the government has rushed through its special events legislation to make sure their dinosaur motorhead buddies don’t miss out on the rally, as well as retrospective legislation over some Hunter Valley land deals by Labor Party supporters. So while we’re watching the fight for democracy in Iran, NSW’s own democratic rights are being quietly eroded. When are enough people actually going to get upset about this, let alone take to the streets as in Tehran? ■ ■ ■ ■

Surfing and beach culture is the centrepiece of Queensland’s first surfing museum, Surf World Gold Coast, which is due to open its doors at Currumbin this Saturday (June

Everyone reads The Echo everywhere: our receptionist Jodie DiCostanzo (centre) with l-r dancetroupe members Lily Smith, Indigo DiCostanzo, Josie Goodwin and Alana Frazier catch their breath at a well-known billboard at Hollywood’s Universal Studios recently to have a look at the latest Echo (and to have this snapshot taken).

Chair of the steering committee, Mal Sutherland, said the exhibition included over 100 boards showing the evolution of design and technology from the 1930s through to today, photographs of early surf scenes and current work by world-renowned surf photographers. The museum is located on the first floor of Honeyworld, opposite Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary. ■ ■ ■ ■

Koala campaigner Jenny Hayes has proposed Africanstyle wildlife tourism as a way to save the Tweed’s koalas. Speaking at Tweed Shire Council’s community access meeting last week, she urged councillors to see dwindling koala numbers as a tourism opportunity – much like Uganda did when it decided to protect and promote its gorilla population. Uganda is now almost as popular as ‘Gorillas in the Mist’ Rwanda as a gorilla-spotting destination. Jenny says protecting and promoting our koalas as a tourist attraction would
