Creek dolphins rescued

A rescue attempt on Tuesday morning to herd two bottlenose dolphins out of Cudgen Creek which had been there for almost three weeks ended up with one of them entangled in a net used to try and shift them out. The adult, male inshore bottlenose dolphin, which had made the deeper tidal waters under Cudgen Creek bridge home since mid January, was trapped in the net around 11.30am (DST).

The dolphin thrashed about in the net before Sea World Research and Rescue Foundation divers brought it gently back to shore where it was hydrated and kept calm. The National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS), which led the rescue attempt, had been monitoring the pod of dolphins, believed to number up to three or four at one stage, which had been unwilling to continued on page 2

Residents of caravan parks and manufactured home estates throughout the Tweed will be informed of developments likely to impact on their lifestyle under longsought changes to council notification procedures. The council has unanimously supported a push by Chinderah councillor Kevin Skinner to include the shire’s estimated 35,000-plus park home-owners in the community consultation process enjoyed by other residents. The radical policy shift will require staff for the first time to include park residents in the notification process, forewarning them of any major developments planned around their homes or even in their parks. Park residents say the changes put them on an equal footing as other home-owners in being able to object to anything which may have a major impact on their amenity. Cr Skinner sought the changes after residents of the Tweed Heritage Caravan Park at Chinderah complained they had been left out of the loop about a nearby four-lot industrial subdivision which will create a new road and destroy a natural waterway next to their park. They say they were too late to question assertions contained in a report to the council, including a description of the waterway, which is to be piped underground, as a drain despite it being identified in other documents as a natural waterway. As result the park owner was the only objector to the controversial development which some fear could be the thin edge of a wedge to turn the area around their park into a giant industrial estate. Cr Skinner, who is surrounded by six parks providing low-cost housing for up to 2500 residents in Chinderah and Kingscliff,

said the Heritage stoush brought the nonnotification of residents to a head. ‘I think everyone has the right to know if a proposed development is going to affect their lifestyle or amenity,’ he said. ‘Caravan park residents should be just as entitled as any other resident to know of anything which could impact on their park.’ The council has directed its staff to bring down a report showing how to change procedures to ‘facilitate a more pro-active requirement for the council to advertise and directly notify the owners and residents’ of the parks and estates.

Council to act quickly Cr Skinner said he expected the council to act quickly to implement some system of notification, even if it was simply a requirement for park owners to display any development application on a community notice board. ‘We haven’t yet worked out the most efficient way of doing it yet but I expect some system in place in the near future. Long-time tenants’ advocate and former resident of the notorious Banora Point Caravan Park, Len Hogg, welcomed the proposed changes. ‘It’s a step in the right direction and I applaud it’, said Mr Hogg, who fears some owners are gearing up to replace traditional low-cost relocatable homes with upmarket housing previously not allowed in caravan parks. ‘A lot of the residents are retired and often living on the pension so they are very anxious to preserve and protect their lifestyle as well as the parks they live in. ‘They don’t want to be booted out by owners who think they will be allowed to redefine the concept of manufactured park estates by turning them into upmarket gated communities filled with luxury villas.’

New K’cliff boardwalk not so popular Luis Feliu

Residents of waterfront apartments next to the new boardwalk/cycleway along Cudgen Creek in Kingscliff have enjoyed a huge improvement to their lifestyle that the $828,000 facility has provided since it opened just before Christmas, but it has come at a cost. Owners of some of the buildings have private pontoons off the boardwalk which have become popular with youngsters and adults alike who use them for sunbaking, diving and jumping off. The three pontoons are accessible to apartment residents, and everyone else, via a gate from the boardwalk but people using the estuary for swimming and boating can simply swim up to the pontoons. Resident Sophia Fudala, who has rented an apartment there for seven years, said ‘we had no problems before the boardwalk was built, now we want our pontoon to go, even though we loved it, it is causing too many problems’. Australia Day, Ms Fudala said, was the last straw after a group of youngsters ripped off the gate leading to her apartment block and used the private property and the privat-

pontoon most of day. The gate was later retrieved from the river by a resident but could not be fixed. Another gate leading to the pontoon which had been chained up by residents had all its bars ripped out because it could not be detached by pontoon users. ‘There’s so much noise from them, skateboard riders ride up and down at six in he morning, there’s barking dogs, kids yelling and screaming, we don’t

get any peace now,’ she said. ‘Adults and kids even access the boardwalk by coming down through our apartment blocks from Hungerford Lane, they even use our (outdoor) showers. ‘If there’s an accident on those pontoons, the owner is liable for anything that happens. I’ve warned the kids jumping off but they ignored me so we’re fighting a losing battle here,’ Ms Fudala said. A visitor using the board-

walk steps to access the estuary said he couldn’t see a problem with swimmers in the estuary using the pontoons to rest or sunbake but could understand the residents’ frustration and conceded safety could be an issue. The 300-metre-long boardwalk connects with existing boardwalks and paths at Clough Lane and Marine Parade, making it easy to walk or ride from Salt at South Kingscliff.

SCU researcher seeks oral histories Older people living from Tweed Heads to Kyogle who can share their memories of the region’s early history are being urged to take part in an oral history study of the region. Southern Cross University (SCU) researcher Theresa Mason has embarked on her PhD research project – an oral history of the Northern Rivers – and already has a range of stories from her earlier Honours project. Her interest in the region’s history began when she was editing and writing for The Village Journal, a local news-

paper based in Rosebank near Bangalow. ‘I came across all of these older people who had fascinating stories to tell,’ she said. ‘Many of the stories around people’s experiences during the Great Depression and in times of war were particularly interesting. ‘People who lived on the land told me how it became essential for them to learn how to make their own fuel, and all sorts of mixes were developed and tested in backyard sheds. Many people also self-converted cars, buses, trucks and farm machinery to run on coal gas.

While there were some tragedies from explosions, many of the designs were innovative and worked quite well.’ She said that a lot of people also had great ‘flood stories’ to tell. Theresa would like to gather as many oral histories as she can and is seeking 50 people aged 65 and over, living in the Tweed, Byron, Ballina, Lismore, Richmond Valley and Kyogle Shire areas, who would like to participate in her research. She can be contacted on 02 6688 2387 or by email at theresa.mason@scu.edu.au.

Dolphins rescued from Cudgen Creek continued from page 1

leave the estuary in the past few weeks. At least two of the dolphins had been sighted in the estuary every day and the marine mammals had become a popular attraction for locals and visitors alike with many taking photos from the shore or bridge. An exclusion zone was marked off near the bridge and jumping off the bridge was prohibited as it stressed the dolphins. An attempt to herd the mammals out to sea ten days ago was unsuccessful. 2 February 4, 2010, 2009 The Tweed Shire Echo

<echowebsection=Local News>

NPWS Tweed area manager Nathan Oliver said that despite the hiccup with the entanglement, the rescue went well, with the first dolphin taken by road to Fingal Head where it was released into the Tweed River. The second adult male dolphin was eventually netted later in the afternoon and also released into the Tweed River. Originally, the pod of dolphins was set to be herded out to sea using nets and rescue workers but it was later decided to bring them into shore

and transport them to the river and released. The dolphins were expected to meet up with the rest of their pod at sea shortly after their release. NPWS spokesman Lawrence Orel said both mammals seemed to be in good health. He said it was also assumed the dolphins in the creek were a mother and calf spotted earlier but they had apparently left the creek during the weekend. The dolphins are believed to have first made their way into the creek while chasing fish. www.tweedecho.com.au

Lakeside Park additions will ‘fall in buffer zone’ Luis Feliu

Longtime Kingscliff resident Betty Rudman, who lives next door to Noble Lakeside Park, and her son Roy sympathise with park residents opposed to the filling of a man-made lake there to make way for more housing. Sydney-based real estate and property investor Keith Noble’s company has lodged a controversial development application (DA) to build an additional 45 homes in the over50s retirement village which will be perched on piers over the water. Approval rests with the contentious state-appointed regional planning panel, empowered to deal with all developments worth more than $10 million (Mr Noble has put the cost of the project at $10.38 million). Mrs Rudman said that many trees had recently been chopped down in the park between the man-made lake and the boundary fence with her and a neighbour’s property. ‘Before we couldn’t see the caravan park, now we see right through there,’ she said. ‘They’ve spoiled a nice area there, lots of people would walk on the track there for exercise and lots walked their dogs, but they’ll lose that now if all these houses

get built out onto the lake.’ But her son Roy was much more vocal about the development, saying Mr Noble should not be allowed to encroach on a buffer zone established in 1988 from a former sewage treatment plant (STP) site nearby. The plant was decommissioned after Tweed Shire Council built a new STP at West Kingscliff, which was

opened in December, 2008, but Mr Rudman says the 360-metre buffer zone still exists. Mr Rudman said that for over 30 years he owned 15 acres across the road from his mother’s place and when he wanted to develop it into a manufactured home park in 1988, he was knocked back because the buffer zone disallowed it.

He said the restrictions applying to land around the old plant still existed and should also apply to Mr Noble as the additional 45 homes would fall within the buffer zone. ‘I couldn’t do it so why does Noble get to do it? Council considered me with those restraints in place so why not give Noble the same restraints?’ he said.

Mr Rudman said that when council wanted to set up a turf farm next to the old STP in the early 1990s he opposed it, took council to court and won. In his objecting submission to council on the Noble Lakeside Park DA, Mr Rudman said the park had already been developed ‘to the full potential allowed’. Mr Rudman said he assumed Mr Noble did not originally build homes in the area where the lake now is because it fell within the buffer zone. He told council that while the sewage works may no longer function as a treatment works, ‘the structures are a sewage treatment plant’ and ‘the buffer still exists’. He asks if ‘once again, will council… manipulate the buffer zone to suit a major developer?’ Mr Rudman also says a proposed retaining wall between the new homes and his mum’s property of 2.5 to three metres high would be an eyesore and unacceptable. ‘I believe Mr Noble gave assurances to tenants that the park would not be made bigger. This cost the tenants extra money for the assurance. I would hope council refuses the application to save the ratepayers a considerable amount of money (court, etc)’, he wrote.

Joan makes it three… The fight for the federal seat of Richmond is now a threeway all-female contest after the Liberal Party belatedy announced that former mayor Joan van Lieshout would stand as their candidate. It will be the first time the three major parties have all fielded female candidates and the first three-cornered contest since the National’s Larry Anthony lost to Labor’s Neville Newell in 1996. Cr van Lieshout, who has been waiting months to get the green light from the party, said she was honoured to be selected. ‘I understand the issues which are important to this community and believe I can be a strong voice for the people of the Tweed,’ said Cr van Lieshout, who opened her own office after councillors dumped her as mayor last year. She joins the National’s candidate Tania Murdock, a Pottsville-based businesswoman and mother of three, in trying to win the seat held by Labor MP and Minister for Ageing Justine Elliot since 2004. Ms Murdock and Cr van Lieshout face an uphill battle to wrest the seat from Ms Elliot who comfortably held it at the last election in 2007.

Comment

National testing will ‘dismantle the public school system’ Nick Williams’s letter to The Echo of January 28 was timely – printed on the same day that Ms Julia Gillard spread her curious website in her everpersistent desire to dismantle the public school system. Watch for her next trick. I am told that the poorer performing schools have a red flag so that we can blow raspberries at anyone associated with them, and, if our kids go there, shift them. National testing (NAPLAN) was introduced in 2008 in a Ruddy-blush with obvious ‘malice-before-thought’. The introduction of fear-driven testing was encouraged by a lawyer from New York, who instructed Gillard not to brook any adverse comment from teachers or the public. Naomi Wolff calls this a ‘fascist shift’, but let’s not go there. Then the normally timid, passive, pussy-footed teachers dared to vote unanimously on a professional [non-industrial] issue, prompted by their normal concerns for kids and their curriculum. This alone is a miracle as it has never happened before in our history. Another miracle will be required for them to stick to their resolve. There will be pressure. Primary school timetables are about to be reorganised, but one can wager that she-

Teachers are incensed at Gillard’s insistence on ranking schools. Phil Cullen is one of them. who-must-be-obeyed will not tell schools which subjects to throw out and which to steal time from. This is possible in a primary school where the three Rs – Repetition, Repetition, Repetition – can be conducted during the time presently given to languages other than English, music, art, physical education and the other more vulnerable learnings. If you want your children to like learning things, don’t set your hopes too high. Bang, crash methods are the quickest, even if the kids come to hate the subject. They’ll do better on the test. Schools just have to try. Their reputation is at stake. Who wants a red flag? It will be more difficult in secondary schools since the allocation of time is so fixed. Something has to be done to increase time allocations. After all, the more one practises a task, be it hitting golf balls, kicking goals, or swimming faster, the better one gets. This year should not be a good year for teaching. Controlled by a domineering minister, aided and abetted herself by folk who know little to nothing about what happens in

schools, she will try to have her way. May, when the national literacy and numeracy tests are scheduled to take place, should be a tumultuous month. Will teachers stick to their guns, or will they be controlled in some fashion that we may never learn about? Gillard already has the Primary Principals Association where she wants them. Some, who are on her committee, are

Council to explain its water strategies Tweed Shire Council is putting on three public information sessions this month aimed at improving the community’s understanding of the two main issues related to the shire’s water supply. A council spokesperson said detailed information would be available at the sessions on the steps council was taking to reduce water consumption through its demand management strategies and the four shortlisted options to increase the Tweed’s water supply. Council’s natural resources director David Oxenham said

the sessions were in response to a request from the Tweed District Water Augmentation Community Working Group, which believed council ‘needed to more clearly explain that reducing water use is the basis of its water supply strategy and provides the foundation for any of the four water supply options currently being looked at’. ‘We’re hoping the information available at these sessions will assist residents or other parties with their submissions on the two key supply and demand strategies currently on exhibition for public com-

ment,’ Mr Oxenham said. The sessions will be held next Wednesday, February 10, at the South Sea Islander Room, Tweed Heads Civic Centre, Brett Street, Tweed Heads from 2pm to 7pm; Thursday, February 18, at the Canvas and Kettle, Murwillumbah Civic Centre, Tumbulgum Road, Murwillumbah from 2pm-7pm; and Tuesday, February 23, at the Pottsville Environment Centre, Centennial Drive, Pottsville from 2pm to 7pm.

also members of the professional Australian Primary Principals Association, much like having a developer on a shire council. Principals’ professionalism is about to be truly tested.

As Nick Williams says, the league tables are fundamentally flawed. Prismatically rotten, no matter which direction one looks at them, they have already been used to demonise schools and some schools have felt extreme shame at having been red-flagged. ‘League tables neglect unique school achievements, inter alia, brilliant creative arts activities, innovative remedial learning and welfare systems, or a fantastic sport program’, as Nick says. One can be sure that movements are being made to make sure that subject associations don’t say anything about their areas of expertise. It could happen if professionalism at all levels of schooling is revisited, but, again, don’t hold your breath. Parents’ associations are upset. Save Our Schools, Canberra, suggests ‘…the government has been totally hypocritical and intransigent on reporting school results. It made false

promises. It has refused to acknowledge the harm done by unfair and simplistic comparisons between schools. ‘Parents should join with teachers in boycotting the national literacy and numeracy tests next May by withdrawing their students from the tests.’ (SOS media release, January 29.) Some hope! Mary McKillop, where are you when we need you?

One of the Tweedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fastest growing sport clubs, Kingscliff District Football Club, will soon have a new home after outgrowing its old one. The club, formerly known as Kingscliff District Soccer Club (the Wolves), will begin relocation to new fields at Depot Road, near the entrance to the proposed new township of Kings Forest, next season. Tweed Shire Council will transform the old tip site on 20 acres into a modern sports ground, using $1.3 million of developer infrastructure contributions. New club president Peter Gladwin, a community stalwart and former head of the

Kingscliff Ratepayers and Progress Association, said the relocation was set to help the club grow much bigger. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all quite excited, the fields are at the front of the Kings Forest development, so when people arrive they will drive past our club,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Peter said. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to really boost our club, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve outgrown where we are now at Reg Dalton Oval and are overlapping with other sports for training and match days so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become a bit overcrowded. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;This site has opportunities for training camps because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s close to accommodation at Casuarina etc. A Korean under-14 team came out last year and stayed there. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to host touring teams be-

cause of the great geographical location. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Our club is growing so fast, already we have 400 kids with teams catering for ages five to 55, and the biggest growth area in our club is women, we have three senior womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teams this year. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Football, or soccer as it was known, has matured quite a bit and is truly the world game, in our club we hear so many different accents, French, Timorese, German, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beautiful.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Also, having a combined Gold Coast Premier League team called the Tweed Valley Kings made up of our club and the Murwillumbah and Banora Point football clubs gives a pathway for the juniors and raises the standard for our children,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he said. Sign on for this season is on next Wednesday, February 10, from 6pm-8pm and on Saturday, February 13, from 4pm-6pm at Reg Dalton Oval. For info call Peter on 02 6674 1483.

Calling all employersâ&#x20AC;Ś Like many non-metropolitan areas, the Tweed suffers from a rate of unemployment that tends to be higher than the national average. The problem of course is the frenzied emphasis on growth. The Tweed population fattens up steadily by four per cent per annum, while the rest of the state is hard put to achieve a one per cent growth rate. Neither economic nor social infrastructure can keep up with that surge in people. In other words jobs, like transport, police and hospitals, are in short supply. Now The Echo cannot make jobs (apart from the ones weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve created simply by existing!), but we can help put employers and job-seekers in touch with each other.

Mad monk fails the chastity test Volume 2 #21

February 4, 2010

Rally review whitewash The upcoming â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;reviewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of the controversial world rally held last September through Tweed and Kyogle shires, to determine whether the event should return, threatens to be nothing but a whitewash, given that those conducting the review of the secretly-funded event are answerable to the very minister who rammed through special legislation to wipe out community input from the start. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another rub of salt into the wound, the fact that the stategovernment appointed Homebush Motor Racing Authority (HMRA), which was set up to hold the outrageous V8 race at the showpiece Olympic Park in Homebush last year, is the body gathering and collating the information from the current community consultation meetings taking place in the shires. And from early accounts, no cost-benefit analysis will be done by the HMRA, just the local information gathered from business, tourism and other groups passed onto the controversial NSW state development minister Ian Macdonald, who was sacked after a public outcry over his expense account and then reinstated last year after the right-wing coup which felled Nathan Rees. The minister is due to report to parliament on the review by yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end. The choice of location for the event was wrong from the start and it had more to do with lining the pockets of mostly overseas TV and sport industry operators than bringing the area into the global spotlight and boosting its economy. In Western Australia, where the rally was kicked out after years of subsidies from the public purse, it was found not to have made any great mark on the economies where it was held. Why run it past peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homes who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want it and through world-heritage national parks meant to be protected and showcased as natural wonders? Did anyone bother to ask the locals what they thought back then? How can it possibly change now? Do they think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re stupid? Even the top driver in last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rally agreed with locals that the government should be held to account for running the event where it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wanted. One can only assume the world governing body of motor sport was also not happy with the way it was run, attracting all that negative media about rocks thrown at the rally cars. The rock throwing turned out to be a myth but it was handily used by organisers and supporters to discredit and demonise rally opponents. Those very organisers had their jobs terminated recently, so not all is rosy in the rally world. We can safely bet this minister and his government, well past their use-by date, will try to tell us the event made millions for the local, regional and state economies, but they can only guess at that, as so many in-kind resources were diverted to it. The way Events NSW was set up to run such events, with the premier the only shareholder in the company which doles out millions to event organisers yet the amounts are not disclosed to the public, is an outrage. How can we realistically measure what it all cost if we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have outlays in the first place? Millions in taxpayers money was believed to have been given to the elite motor sport company which organised it, $120,000 in ratepayer funds per event and all that in-kind support in police, emergency and medical services at local and state government level. The whole process is a sham. When junior sport relies so much on volunteers, sponsorship and meagre government handouts itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scandalous to see taxpayer money secretly given to elite petrol-head sports ahead of our children. These same children are now given mixed messages about speeding, when on one hand motor racing through parks and past homes is promoted yet on the other hand, millions are spent to tell youngsters that speed kills. An alternative business survey recently taken by a community watchdog group found that almost three quarters of businesses surveyed said their takings were normal or lower during the running of the rally, so it will be interesting to see what the expensive review exercise comes up with.

6 February 4, 2010, 2009 The Tweed Shire Echo

here are many things to celebrate on Australia Day, but perhaps the most important is that it marks the end of the silly season. It is the time politicians and the media dust themselves off and start on the serious business of the year. Or at least they would have if Tony Abbott had not told the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Weekly that he would advise his daughters to sit on it until they were married. Actually if he had put it as straightforwardly as that there probably wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been much of a fuss. Some might have derided him as a bit oldfashioned (or, as his 18 year old daughter Frances put it, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;a lame, gay, churchy loserâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;) but a lot of traditional parents might have shrugged in mute agreement. However, Abbott being Abbott, he had to take it further. After all, the Weekly was doing an extensive piece on his favourite subject â&#x20AC;&#x201C; himself â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and indeed on his favourite aspects of it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ethics and beliefs, creed and credo. So Abbott felt constrained to add that virginity was a gift from God to a woman, and the most precious gift she could give to a man. By way of later explanation he insisted that he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t preaching â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this was simply the advice that he would give to his own three daughters, although given that two of them had already reached adulthood it could still be seen as a touch patronising. But no-one really believed him. The worst fears of the moderates, both inside and outside the Liberal Party, were confirmed: Captain Catholic was back in charge. The Mad Monk just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help himself; he was incapable of drawing the line between public policy and private morals. And in Australia, this was

always going to be a bummer. Actually Abbott received more support than he probably expected; talkback radio ended up slightly in his favour thanks to a blitz by women of a certain age (and possibly also a certain religion). And the most severe critics tended to be the usual suspects: feminists such as Catherine Lumby and Eva Cox, who were generally seen as political fringe-dwellers at best.

self,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he had replied: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Well, yes, I did.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; And indeed he had, and more. It is on the record that while studying in the seminary to become a priest, his lust was so overwhelming that he was forced to appoint a personal celibacy adviser. This hapless individual was not up to the job; Abbott jumped the wall and quickly gained a name for successful lechery at Sydney University.

The more serious underlying complaint was about the idea that a womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s virginity could be regarded as no more than a gift to a man. by Mungo MacCallum Kevin Rudd sensibly laid low and said nothing, and his deputy Julia Gillard restrained herself to the terse observation that Australian women could make their own choices and did not want to be lectured by Tony Abbott. Even this was too much for the Liberalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; normally sensible legal affairs spokesmen George Brandis who said Gillard had no right to talk about families because she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have one herself. The quick response was that Gillard was not talking about families but about Tony Abbott, and that Brandis would presumably also disqualify the Pope and all celibate clergy from the debate; indeed, perhaps he should disqualify himself from discussing women and children since he did not have a womb. But the real argument centred around Abbottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hypocrisy, which he at least acknowledged; after all he could hardly deny it. Rather sheepishly he admitted that when his daughters said to him: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;But daddy, you did all those things your-

There was an unfortunate experience when one girl with whom he was playing Vatican roulette becoming pregnant, and the child was adopted out; years later Abbott was reunited with the man whom he thought was his son but whom tests showed had another father altogether. And there are many unedifying anecdotes about his time at St Johns, the Catholic residential college of Sydney University. They are best summed up by a fellow student who prefers to remain anonymous: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Tony would screw a hole in the wall if it had hair around it.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Thus when he claimed that he was urging restraint upon young men as well as young women, there was a certain amount of coarse laughter. But the more serious underlying complaint was about the idea that a womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s virginity, and therefore presumably her entire sex life, could be regarded as no more than a gift to a man. The issue died a natural death in the media, but the

memory of that piece of unbridled misogyny will linger on. his generationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s answer to Screaming Lord Sutch, Gibbering Lord Monckton, is so obviously loony that under normal circumstances Australians would treat his ravings with the contempt they deserve. But alas, these are not normal times; the antiscience brigade is not only on the march, but is making the running on the whole issue of climate change. They have been helped along by some very powerful financial backers and some influential allies in the media, but what has given them a real lift is the revelation that some of the advocates for the case for global warming have been shown to be over-enthusiastic and in some cases just plain wrong. These flaws, according to the sceptics, show that the whole scientific edifice painstakingly erected over a decade is shonky; scientists are not to be trusted, and it is likely that the earth is flat after all, just as reasonable people have always suspected. Of course they show nothing of the kind; 99 percent of the science, supported by 99 percent of qualified scientists, remains intact. By any rational standard the case for manmade global warming is beyond argument, even if all the details cannot be quantified. But in political terms, we are just about back to square one. It is to be hoped that people of good will from all parties can restore some sanity to the debate. The fact that Tony Abbott and even Barnaby Joyce have shunned numerous invitations to associate themselves and their parties with Moncktonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outrageous demagoguery is a hopeful start.

The ‘Disastrous Seven’ One of the highlights of my week is reading The Echo. The highlight was ruined by Backburner, which reported that seven councillors had voted for a 55 per cent pay increase (no, not for the council workers! For themselves, silly). This was so wrong. Katie Milne voted against. Instead she indicated the ‘troughies’ should do more to earn their present income. (Perhaps then they would be too busy to get on her back at every opportunity.) What gives with these people? They guzzle ratepayer funded booze, try to grab more loot, refuse to disclose individual expenses, resist publishing information, run what seems to be a star-chamber gagging process and generally treat ratepayers as (moronic?) milch cows. With six ‘troughies’ plus Machiavelli, it looks like we’ve ended up with a Green Queen versus the ‘Disastrous Seven’. A sort of Malice in Developerland scenario. Mushrooms anyone?

Park clearing without development approval ■ I write in regards to last week’s article which reported council’s general manager stating that our mayor had communicated with staff regarding the Noble Park development, saying Cr Polglase made preliminary inquiries about incorporating some council-owned land into the development. I believe I can elaborate on this. Council owns a parcel of land adjoining the development and the park owner needs to use part of that land to complete his development. In my submission to council I stated: The natural wa-

our council has with both these developments. A couple of nice eco villages is one thing, and would not be so bad. This is the direct opposite of that. It is like nothing we have ever seen before on the Tweed. I strongly urge the people of Tweed Heads especially to make their thoughts known to the state government. After all, they will be right on top of you. The residents of Tugun are absolutely appalled at the thought of going backwards in their traffic situation. It will do much worse things to us. If you use those waterways, look lively if you want to keep them Frank Ball nice. Tweed Heads Lisa Townsend

watercourse is diverted through council land, who will pay? Another point put forward in my submission was that the development does not meet the criteria to claim existing use rights. Under the Act the council can only grant approval if the modification is of minimal environmental impact. This will have a major impact. The consent authority must also be satisfied that the development is substantially the same as the development for which the consent was originally granted. The development of these villas-over-water

tem and would prefer to have meals prepared in the kitchens of their local hospitals. Nourishing food well prepared and appetising is essential for the health of older people, and also for patient and nursing staff in our hospitals. The preparation of nourishing meals would be better if done locally. It would create extra local jobs and it would be easier to see that the quality of the food was of a higher standard than patients and older citizens are now receiving. Another issue to consider is the price of oil, now and in the future. The price of a barrel of oil at present is $85 and its real value is $250 a barrel. It will therefore rise considerably in

It is generally agreed that the best choice for the care of older people is to stay in their homes as long as possible with as much support as the community can reasonably offer. Part of this support is the concept of ‘Meals on Wheels’ and this is the subject of this letter. A few enquiries have shown that the quality and price of these meals in unsatisfactory; they are both over priced and not appetising. Further discussion has led to the fact that meals in our local hospitals are also prepared by the same group operating out of Casino. Many people, both patients and hospital staff, Murwillumbah are not satisfied with this sys-

Cobaki Lakes comment Thankfully, four councillors cared enough about the Tweed and your community to vote to ask the state government for more community consultation for the Cobaki Lakes development proposal that is currently up for approval. I would like to thank Crs Kevin Skinner, Barry Longland, Katie Milne and Joan van Lieshout for their very welcome support of the community. Comment time for Kings Forest has now closed, but Cobaki Lakes (by the same company) still has a short time left to comment. If you are wondering what all the fuss is about, a good place to start is with TSC submission to the state government on the council website. It explains the many concerns

tercourse fed by the drainage canal and lake overflow runs along the northeast boundary for about 120 metres before it turns north and makes its way to the Tweed River. Mr Noble has told residents this section of the creek will be filled in to build a section of the internal road and the creek flow diverted though the adjoining council land. This raises some questions. Why would council consider sacrificing a portion of its land to accommodate a private development in which the mayor has a pecuniary interest? If the

Ozone Street wildlife threatened Forty-four species of birds, five reptiles and three amphibians within a limited fauna survey. It is my opinion that inadequate safeguards are proposed for the Ozone Street, Chinderah, road construction/industrial subdivision development, particularly considering the proposal to treat acid sulfate soil on site, lack of an environmental management plan and proximity to the river adjacent to areas containing mangroves, seagrass and salt marsh, fish nursery breeding ground and where a number of threatened fauna species have occurred.

Ozone Street waterway trees that the council will clear for this road development. As quoted from the Slater Field Guide to Australian Birds they are ‘uncommon to rare’ residents. From the Readers Digest Complete Book of Australian Birds: ‘The population on the east coast is now in dangerously low numbers due to clearing of its habitat. Marbled Frogmouths are sedentary birds, pairing permanently and holding to Caroline Armitage the same territory of perhaps Chinderah little more than a few hectares all the year round.’ ■ We have four Marbled FrogLynda Mack mouth Owls living in the Chinderah serve contains a tidal waterway with established vegetation up to some 40 years of age.

Koala gratitude Well done, to all the koala lovers across the shire!

I would like to thank everyone who has been so supportive of the koalas in so many ways. All the members of Team Koala and the Friends of the

are clearly visible; where once we could not see people walking there, we can now also see their little dogs and what breed they are! Is the clearing of those trees legal? Can they be destroyed without council approval? Can a developer and his manager start preparation for a development even before the DA goes into council? Would a mayor/ manager and his developer boss have such overt confidence to go ahead as it were fait accompli? Roma Newton

Noble Lakeside Park Koala, as well as thousands of animal lovers across the shire have contributed to this wonderful step forward. Congratulations to our councillors and Tweed Shire Council staff for their response to community concern about our rapidly vanishing local koalas. Now we can make a plan to save them. In other good news, the Treasures of the Tweed mural along the levy bank in Murwillumbah is about to have koalas included in it. They certainly are one of our treasures and I am sure this will be a very popular inclusion. Jen Hayes

A Principal’s role is to lead the educational direction and purpose of the school. At Lindisfarne we believe that all students can excel. To do this they need high quality teachers who believe they can make a signiﬁcant difference to the learning of all students.

Mungo’s Crossword

As this week’s winds of change inﬁltrate partnerships with the possibility of rifts, do what you can to be objective, patient and accommodating…

Aquarius Birthday S tars

WITH LILITH

ARIES: If something’s not working this week, trying to force it will only make the situation worse. Forget swanning about issuing ultimatums or initiating showdowns: you’ll get better results from treating others the way you’d like them to do unto you – with courtesy, respect, tolerance and understanding.

Solution to crossword #19

Mungo’s Crossword ﬁrst published in The Week.

CANCER: If this week provokes cantankerous tiffs and hissy fits, the best way to avoid post dramatic stress is just to seem to agree with everything everyone says and don’t argue. Avoid impulse shopping because apres-purchase dissatisfaction’s highly likely. Investigate inexpensive pleasures.

LEO: Careless jokes or impatient TAURUS: Others may be cranky, comebacks could initiate a war of the worlds with this week’s cantankerous and hard to please, irritable citizens. But its good but this week’s really about you: news brings unusual people your feelings and the freedom to with new ideas stimulating you express them. You love a plan, so to question your values, expand take some quiet time this week your parameters and open up to to rethink and update your life new learning experiences. goals and direction. VIRGO: Jupiter’s beautifully GEMINI: Random kindness from placed right now for supporting total strangers could be more you to relax, enjoy life and forthcoming right now than cultivate a flexible attitude to sympathy and support from the future. Refusing to engage family and friends, so just accept in judgmental attitudes will go without placing blame that that’s a long way towards making the way it is this week and go this potentially stressful week have fun with all the interesting smoother, easier and more new people you’re meeting. congenial.

Melbourne’s 12-year-old Bobby Cheng started 2010 as successfully as he finished 2009, by becoming the youngest-ever Australian Junior Champion. Cheng, the reigning World U/12 Champion, took Australia’s U/18 title in Hobart last week with a tremendous 10/11 score, a full point ahead of Canberra’s Andrew Brown, a perennial bridesmaid in this event. Mild-mannered Cheng, with his coach Darryl Johansen present in Hobart, was less than convincing in many games but he completed the gruelling two week tournament undefeated and outlasted Brown in the key game of the tournament. Cheng took gold in all the subsidiary events as well, taking the U/18 problem solving title, the U/14 title in the rapid (30 minute) event and the U/16 title in the lightning (5 minutes per player per game) tournament. Cheng and Brown left in their wake stars such as Melbourne’s 15-year-old International Master James Morris and last year’s co-

LIBRA: Venus in Aquarius is an excellent transit for Libran self promotion, so it’s worth doing the necessary groundwork this week. If anyone’s insensitive attitude upsets your balance, order should be restored by late week Libra moon – or else a new order sorted.

CAPRICORN: This stop/go, yes/ no week could get stressful if you let it, so don’t take work worries home with you – if home happens to be your office, then get out and about. Others look to you for leadership – do your best to be there for them.

SCORPIO: Letting go having to be right makes it easier for people to love you. Try it if you don’t believe me. You might be amazed how such a simple adjustment immediately changes your personal dynamic – and this week provokes some intriguing adventures as well.

AQUARIUS: While it might seem like nothing much is coming together right now, there’s plenty stirring beneath the surface of events and about to pop. You won’t need a life coach because life itself will coach you through the learning curves on this week’s menu.

SAGITTARIUS: Misunderstandings are easily come by this week. But they could be just as easily prevented by not assuming or taking anything for granted, being clear, confirming, following up… On the bright side, this week’s Aquarian variations stimulate a huge creative surge in casa del Archer.

Game, set, match to tennis safety With the Australian Tennis Open inspiring many to take to the sport, tennis players can reduce their risk of injury by following tips from Smartplayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Preventing Tennis Injuries Fact Sheet. Developed in association with Tennis Australia, the fact sheet encourages players, regardless of skill level, to prepare their bodies for play â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to get the most from their game and most importantly avoid injury. The rate of tennis injuries has been calculated at five injuries per 1,000 hours of participation. The most common injuries are to the lower limbs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ankle, knee and thigh. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Every year people are inspired by the Australian Tennis Open and start playing tennis without appropriate preparation. Sadly, this is a recipe for injury,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Sports

Legal steps needed in buying or selling a home I

f you want to buy or sell a home, land or investment property youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to sign a contract. The legal work involved in preparing the sales contract, mortgage and other related documents, is called conveyancing. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible to do your own conveyancing, however, most people get a licensed conveyancer or solicitor to do the work for them.

Who can do conveyancing work? Three options for doing your conveyancing are: t VTJOH B MJDFOTFE DPOWFZBODFS t VTJOH B TPMJDJUPS t EPJOH JU ZPVSTFMG Before you start organising your conveyancing, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to do your homework first. In NSW, conveyancers must be licensed with the Office of Fair Trading. Most conveyancers hold an unrestricted licence that allows them to perform the full scope of conveyancing work for residential, commercial and rural property. Conveyancers are licensed to do legal

you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the same insurance available to a licensed conveyancer or solicitor.

Licensed conveyancers must have professional indemnity insurance to protect you in case they make a mistake or are negligent in their work. If they are dishonest with the money you have entrusted to them, you may have access to the Compensation Fund adminis-tered by Fair Trading.

Doing your own conveyancing Doing your own conveyancing can be risky because you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the same insurance available to a licensed conveyancer or solicitor. This means that if you make a mistake you are responsible and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nowhere you can go for financial compensation. For example, your solicitor or conveyancer may fail to make sure the vendor has disclosed everything they are legally

required to, such as an order to demolish the place. If you suffer loss as a result of this negligence you may be able to take action against them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the difference!

Do-it-yourself conveyancing kits are available from the Law Consumersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association 9564 6933 or Australian Property Law Kits 1800 252 808.

THE CONVEYANCING PROCESS CAN INVOLVE THE FOLLOWING STEPS: t BSSBOHJOH CVJMEJOH BOE QFTU inspections t FYBNJOJOH B TUSBUB inspection report if the property is part of a strata scheme t BSSBOHJOH Ä&#x2022;OBODF JG necessary t FYBNJOJOH BOE FYDIBOHJOH the contract of sale t QBZJOH UIF EFQPTJU t BSSBOHJOH QBZNFOU PG TUBNQ duties t QSFQBSJOH BOE FYBNJOJOH UIF mortgage agreement t DIFDLJOH JG UIFSF BSF outstanding arrears or land tax obligations

t DPNQMFUJOH BOZ Ä&#x2022;OBM DIFDLT prior to settlement t BUUFOEJOH TFUUMFNFOU Before the conveyancer or solicitor starts the work it is important for you to have a realistic idea of how much it will cost. The best way to do this is to ask for an itemised statement of the likely costs. Fees will vary between solicitors and conveyancers as there is no official charge for conveyancing. In addition to a legal service fee you will usually be charged for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;disbursementsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. These can include: t B UJUMF TFBSDI

Katie Milne is copping it in every direction as colleagues scramble to put the rebellious Greens Party councillor back in her box. As well as being on the receiving end of complaints about so-called leaks to the media, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also had to cop mayoral rebukes for asking too many questions and briefly using her council PO Box in an appeal to raise funds for her failed court action against last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car rally. Now it seems one of her colleagues has ignored the new media policy and privacy laws by leaking the contents of an email exposing details of her $351 debt to the council. She could well ask the GM to investigate the leak, but she shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect a repeat of what occurred when one of her own disclosures to the media was being probed last year. She immediately identified herself as the culprit, but a later inquiry found she had done nothing wrong, sparking the media policy overhaul which was meant to put a lid on disclosures that were considerably less sensitive. As the GM pointed out when asked to respond to the leak, to identify Milne would be a breach of the NSW Privacy Act. â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013;

The embattled councillor believes the leaking of the GMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to discontinue court action to recover the debt was meant to suggest she was misusing her position to have it waived. She says nothing is further from the truth. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I have been appealing this even before I became a councillor,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Cr Milne, who incurred the debt following her court win against council approval for a marina at Chinderah. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The council fought me tooth and nail and even tried to get me to cough up for their barristersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fees of $6,000,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; she said. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;In the end the court said they were only entitled to the cost of responding to my subpoenas. I had asked the council to review

eral Manager I made the call that it was not in the public interest to continue to incur the ongoing expenses, which to date have already and would continue to, far exceed the debt owed. The individual has been made aware that the debt recovery process has ceased, however the outstanding balance of $351 remains. The individual involved now has a leadership role in the Tweed community and in ending the debt recovery process I have requested the individual to consider their responsibility to set an example and honour the debt. The General Manager has a delegated authority to waive fees on a case by case basis after making an informed and educated decision based on the merits of each individual situation; however in this instance the fees have not been waived.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Backburner reckons this story isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t finished yet. â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013;
