Water conserving measures ‘ignored’ Ken Sapwell

Bluesfest hailed a big success Luis Feliu

The 21st Byron Bay Bluesfest held over the Easter long weekend at its new base on a tea-tree farm at Tyagarah has been hailed a success by organisers and festival goers. Around 17,000 people a day packed into the new, expanded site at Tyagarah just south of Brunswick Heads, and police reported a smooth flow of traffic in and out of the site over the five days. Previous festivals at two sites in the Byron Bay township had been a source of major traffic congestion and noise complaints from locals

Blues guitar masters a generation apart, Buddy Guy, left, and Joe Bonamassa, were just two of the headline acts at the Byron Bay Bluesfest last weekend, exciting old fans and new ones alike.

but the new site, owned by the festival management, is set to cater for an ever-expanding Bluesfest. It was one of the most diverse lineups the festival has seen, with old blues/rock masters such as Buddy Guy and Jeff Beck mixing it with Latino stars such as the Gipsy Kings and the Buena Vista Social Club. As for the Aussie/Kiwi acts, the revamped Crowded House and the John Butler Trio also gave punters plenty to sing and dance to. Then there were the 1970s pop superstars such as 10cc and Supertramp (well, two of the five) and cult singer-songwriter Rodriguez to bring the melody memories flooding back. And another ‘British blues invasion’ of sorts hit the festival with 1960s innovators such as John May-

all, Peter Green and Jeff Beck showing they can still rock the socks off many musicians today. Festival director Peter Noble said the lineup this year was extraordinary and he didn’t ‘know if we’ll have another bill like it’, admitting he’d said that before. Rain is almost synonymous with Bluesfest but this year the weather was kind and a threatened deluge held off. Regular festival goers included the police operation targeting drink driving and illegal drugs with sniffer dogs detecting small amounts, mostly marijuana, on more than 150 people, and most offenders either cautioned or given court attendance notices. But the festival is all about a continued on page 2

Tweed Council is under renewed pressure to re-examine water re-use options before it pushes ahead with plans to almost triple the capacity of the Clarrie Hall dam. A council-appointed group examining four short-listed options to secure the shire’s water supplies over the next 30 years has called for an independent review of the proposed strategies. They include a preferred option of raising the wall of the dam to increase supplies from the current 16,000 megalitres to around 42,000 megalitres at a cost of about $40 million. Most members of a community working group (CWG), comprising landowners, business people, community leaders and councillors, want the review to focus on other water-saving measures which have been adopted by several nearby councils. They include the installation of dualreticulation systems for large-scale grey water recycling and integrated stormwater harvesting as well as bigger and more efficient tank systems to capture roof run-off. Their request for an independent assessment is part of a strongly worded statement signed by eight of the group’s 12 active members, with council representatives Dot Holdom and Phil Youngblutt among those opposed to the move. The statement is buried within the 300-page report following claims by group members that staff refused their request that their concerns be given greater prominence by being placed near the front . The report favors raising the dam wall over the other three options which included a new dam at Byrrill Creek or

pipleines linking into neighbouring water supplies owned by the Gold Coast or Rous Water. But members of the group say they have grave concerns that the terms of reference were narrowed to just four options after the consultants dismissed large-scale water re-use measures as too costly to implement. ‘We have particular concerns about the assumptions that justify the need for addtional water supplies,’ the statement says, adding it wants an independent review to look at re-use programs, population growth, the impact of strategies to manage water demand and climate change.

Decision constrained ‘We are concerned that the council has already constrained its decision to the four water supply options, without establishing adequate community engagement processes or consideration of the loss of environmental values that may be destroyed,’ it said. ‘We would like to see the proposed independent review of the demand management strategy evaluate the potential for additional water savings measures such as mandatory rainwater tanks, stormwater harvesting and recycled water before committing to the dam (option).’ ‘We and the community would like to be reassured that the council’s demand strategy and water options selection process is in line with national and international performance standards and appropriate to our environment.’ The report was given to the council at its last meeting which voted to put it on public exhibition until the end of the month. One of the group, Joanna Gardner, continued on page 2

Conduct code review sought Richard Johns

Tweed Shire Council’s Conduct Review Committee is reviewing itself after recently taking the big stick to Cr Katie Milne. The committee, slammed by critics as a ‘star chamber’, found Cr Milne had breached certain sections of the code but thought the code itself lacked ‘clarity’ in certain areas. Not least was the fact Cr Milne refused to sign away her own freedom of speech by

signing a so-called undertaking that would have muzzled her from talking to anyone after the committee’s grilling. If that wasn’t enough, a friend she brought along as an observer was asked to leave the deliberations, although a supporter was allowed to remain. The conduct review committee upheld two complaints against Cr Milne brought by local resident Barbara Fitzgibbon, a well-known supporter of Cr Dot Holdom.

But Cr Milne didn’t think she had breached that part which might be considered to have put her under a ‘sense of obligation’ to the No Rally Group ‘or likely to influence you in carrying out your public duty’. However, the committee asked council to have another look at the code, especially as it has been getting a lot of use in recent months. Councillors decided to hold a workshop.

Water saving ignored continued from page 1

this week urged residents to read the report and to urgently email NSW Water Minister Phillip Costa, asking him to immediately act on its plans to ban a new dam at Byrrill Creek because of the environmental damage. She said the council should look over the border where dual-pipe systems for storm and greywater re-use were being planned for the CoomeraPimpana area to cope with 120,000 new residents, or at Ballina where a similar system was also planned for new developments. She said the consultants engaged by the council were the same ones whose controversial recommendations to dam the Mary River in Queensland had been overturned following a similar call for an independent inquiry. ‘We have a golden opportunity to bring in more sustainable uses of water, particularly

before the go-ahead is given to the two mega developments on our doorstep which will account for most of our future population growth,’ she said. Ms Gardner also urged residents to attend the Regent Theatre on April 22 at 6pm to see a Jack Thompson-narrated film about the Tweed caldera and hear experts speak about the likely impacts of unlimited population growth of the environment. Telephone 02 6679 7039 for further information. Other group members to sign the statement were Sam Dawson, Tony Thompson, Richard Murray, Colleen Edwards, Rachael Eberhard, Robyn Lemaire and Bob Learmonth. Those refusing to sign were former National Party MP Don Beck as well as party stalwart and deputy mayor Phil Youngblutt, business chamber vice president Pryce Allsop and Kingscliff-based councillor Dot Holdom.

Cleaner water now on tap Tweed mayor Warren Polglase will taste the first glass of water coming through the new $75 million state-of-the-art Bray Park water treatment plant this morning (Thursday). The plant is Australia’s largest ultra-filtration water treatment plant, featuring state-of-the-art membrane technology that can filter particles 1000th the thickness of a human hair. The facility has a capacity of 100 million litres per day. It is set to deliver a high-quality drinking water for the needs of the Tweed’s population well into the future. The raw water is extracted from the Tweed River at the Bray Park Weir.

Tree felling fine Gales Holdings might want to build a shopping centre on land it owns in Chinderah/ Kingscliff but it has run foul of council for cutting down trees on the 42-hectare site it owns which runs from Ozone to Rotumah Streets. Piles of trees about two metres tall were discovered by council inspectors recently. Contractors used by Gales explained they were ‘tidying the area’. Although most of the trees on the site are not classified, they include endangered melaleuca and swamp she-oak, while an area near Rotumah Street is classified as having a ‘very high’ ecological status. While some of the trees were brought down in recent storms, others had been felled and were within an area designated under tree preservation orders. Gales Holdings, tied to the Segal family of Kingscliff, has a long history of legal battles with council but it is not known if it will take this issue to the courts. It was fined $3,000. Crs Polglase, Youngblutt and Skinner voted against the fine.

‘good vibe’ and anti-social or drunken behaviour was almost non-existent. The one blip came toward the end of the festival on Monday night just after 7pm when a ferris-wheel carriage broke off and fell to the ground, injuring three teenage girls, including one from Tweed Heads. The girls scrambled out of the carriage and were treated at the scene by paramedics and taken to Tweed Hospital suffering cuts, abrasions and minor back injuries. WorkCover NSW is investigating the accident, which shocked festival organisers. Mr Noble told media he was unsure if the ferris wheel, a regular attraction at the festival, would return next year. www.tweedecho.com.au

Call for more 4WD beaches Richard Johns

A call by a fishing group angling for greater access for 4WDs to Tweed’s beaches, especially those adjoining nature reserves, has been backed by a slim majority of councillors. At Tweed Shire Council’s last meeting, staff recommended against a review of its adopted beach vehicle policy after a call by the ‘Ecofishers’ lobby group, but councillors Phil Youngblutt and Kevin Skinner managed to get support from their prodevelopment colleagues, mayor Warren Polglase and Cr Joan van Lieshout, to overturn it. The move means a request will be made to the state government to open up Tweed’s beaches to more 4WDs. Ecofishers, which claims to be non-aligned and acting on behalf of recreational fishers, was disappointed at being excluded from access to places from Casuarina to Wooyung, most of which are nature reserves.

Staff noted the state government unsurprisingly thought driving was ‘inappropriate’ and ‘contrary to the purposes of dedication of a nature reserve’. However, Ecofishers’ spokesman David Cranwell wrote to council seeking a review of state policy, requesting it lobby the Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water. The group argued that older fishermen were being denied the chance to fish from these beaches and some angling shops were finding the going tough. Not only that but banning beach vehicles at Wooyung had also, they said, ‘resulted in an increase in unsocial behaviour by certain elements of society who disport themselves without clothing’. Officers told councillors it was important to protect the shire’s beaches, especially with the surge in population growth over the coming decade. But this advice was ignored by the four councillors who pushed through an amendement that

supported the Ecofishers line. The lobby group is also applying pressure on the state government to stop any more marine parks being created and has the backing of both the Liberal and National parties. On its website the group claims that ‘representations are based upon sound science and reality, not Green myths’. Ecofishers said denying access to the beaches for their offroaders was also a snub to the motor industry ‘first in purchasing 4WD vehicles, then extra money is spent on rustproofing for use on the beach’. They also claimed there was vandalism to their trucks when left on the road. Finally, with the price of beach permits now $224.60 they were angry at the loss of so much beach access. ‘This cost is an imposition on pensioners, disability, veterans and age pensioners,’ they wrote. ‘Beaches have suffered no damage from 4WD use.’

Students hit high notes The students at Kingscliff Public School are making beautiful music thanks to a dedicated teacher and a little help from their friends. Music teacher Nicky Cooper, with support from parents, principal and staff, started the the Kingscliff Instrumental Music Program two and a half years ago with 15 students and a handful of instruments. Now the program has grown to include 50 students, with Mrs Cooper’s husband, local architect Matt Cooper, rallying local Left-to-right: Josh Neale from Westera Partners, Tony Callaghan members of the construction from Safari Surfboards and Mark Walsh, Lightwave Architecindustry to help supply much ture, with students Oliver Gladwin on drums and Jesse Grey on needed new instruments. keyboards. Photo Jeff ‘Bonggoes’ Dawson The program has been so successful that the school band, now a fixture at all major school events, and choir (which started a few weeks ago with 50 students) will debut at the Murwillumbah Festival of Performing Arts later this year.

Watch out for baby turtles on beaches

Advice from the Chief Product Tester

Luis Feliu

Dear Product Tester Love your advice – have you got any more tips on how to treat women proper? Bernie G’day Bernie, Be sensitive my friend that’s number one. It’s important to remember the little things. For example, say you’re a little bit late at the pub and you didn’t win the meat raffle before you get the taxi home, buy the meat tray from the winner – pay him double – trust me, it’ll be worth it. Compliments are also important. Say something flattering to your partner like – ’Have you lost weight?’ But make sure you keep a straight face when you say it. And to keep the romance alive, little surprises are great. Offer to light the BBQ for her, bring her a drink, push her into the pool and jump in after her – she’ll love it. And you can’t beat romantic dinners around the camp fire – look into her eyes as she’s cooking a steak for you and snags for the kids. I’ve got heaps of ideas for you – call in for a chat at our adventure and camping shop in downtown Murwillumbah. I’ll also tell you about all the products we sell that we’ve tested on our camping and trekking adventures. Your mate...Tony PS. The funny thing is – the more you spend, the better my advice gets.

7HARF 3TREET -URWILLUMBAH s

At least 23 endangered Loggerhead turtle hatchlings (like those pictured) were released by the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) at Bogangar/Cabarita this week. Turtle nesting season is in full swing along the Tweed and Northern Rivers beaches with further nests in the Tweed, Byron and Ballina shires expected to hatch over the coming weeks. On Monday this week, Cabarita Beach Surf Life Saving Club members and NPWS checked a nest, finding 23 empty egg cases and five hatchlings, which were collected and given a helping hand as they were delivered to open water beyond the surf zone by the surf club rescue boat. NPWS Ranger Josh Madden said normally intervention of this kind was not required but in this case the nest was overdue and the chance of survival for the remaining hatchlings that had not made it to the surface would have been very low. One way people can help endangered turtles like these loggerheads survive is by not leaving litter around, even in the street, as rubbish such as plastic bags often end up

being found in the digestive tracts of dead turtles. It is important if you see a turtle nesting or a nest hatching not to disturb it. Keep dogs well away and contact NPWS immediately. Tweed beachgoers are asked to be on the look out and to contact NPWS (Murwillumbah office 02 6670 8600) or Australian Seabird Rescue (ASR) in Ballina on 02 6686 2852) if they find any hatchlings on the beach.

Hatchlings in care Meanwhile 20 Loggerhead turtle hatchlings are in care with ASR following the hatching of a turtle nest at South Golden Beach last week. Onshore winds prevented the

hatchlings from escaping the surf with all those in care washed up on the beach after making their way into the water. ASR will monitor the hatchlings’ condition and release them back into the wild as soon as they are recovered and deemed strong enough to begin their journey to the open ocean. Loggerhead turtles are threatened with extinction with the species listed as endangered by both NSW and Australian governments. Meanwhile, a marine research project, to be delivered on behalf of the the Northern Rivers Catchment Management Authority (NRCMA) by ASR, is setting out to get a

clearer picture about the levels of marine debris in Northern Rivers’ marine waters and its impact on wildlife in the region. The first phase of the project involves ASR co-ordinating with other local wildlife groups to gauge the numbers of native animals injured by marine (and estuarine) debris. ASR, NorthernRivers and Tweed Valley Wildlife Carers, WIRES in the Clarence and Tweed as well as NPWS will all be opening up their records to allow for a regionwide snapshot of marine debris impacts. Project co-ordinator Kathrina Southwell said marine debris was a big problem and seemed to be getting worse each year. ‘Some of the incidents that stick in my mind are a Northern Giant Petrel that was brought our attention having swallowed a balloon and its tie-string. We also had a Hawksbill sea turtle that was extremely congested, until she passed a 30cm long piece of plastic rope which had been blocking her stomach and would have eventually killed her,’ she said. Both animals were able to be rehabilitated and returned to the wild, but a lot have died due to plastic.

Renovation pays off for K’cliff builder Tania Phillips

Kingscliff builder Steve Maguire (pictured) is in the running for a major national award thanks to the $1.2 million renovation to a Bilinga home. Maguire, of Steve Maguire Homes, is a finalist in this year’s Housing Industry Association’s national awards to be held on the Gold Coast on May 22. Not one to blow his own trumpet, Mr Maguire said he had not really entered anything in the awards before.

However, this project, which took several months and a lot of heavy machinery and effort, was not only entered in the awards it has already won the Northern River’s Gold Coast and Queensland awards. The earlier wins have earned Maguire a spot in the Australian titles. Mr Maguire said it was a ‘massive renovation’. ‘We basically had to turn an old 1950s style blook of four flats at Bilinga into a luxury home,’ the 36-year-veteran of the building trade said. He said the project started

because the owner wanted to put a deck on and then renovate the kitchen and eventually with the project becoming bigger Kingscliff-based draftswoman and designer Gina Tolle was brought on board. Mr Maguire said they had to deal with concrete cancer and all sorts of problems during the renovation but despite the challenges it was a great project for ‘very nice owners’, who have ended up with a ‘house they love’. ‘We couldn’t knock the original building down because with new council laws,

the footprint of the property would have changed and they would have ended up with a smaller house,’ he said. Instead the original structure was gutted, the roof was taken off and all of the internal walls were brought down. Cranes were even brought in and the footings were worked on. ‘It took about 12 months, it wasn’t something we could really rush. But we got them back and living in the top storey of the house in seven to eight months and then finished downstairs.’

It is still not clear what causes the atavistic fear of boat people in the Australian psyche. It is demonstrably irrational; the vast majority of asylum seekers arrive by air, and in any case constitute less than one tenth of one per cent of Australia’s annual immigration. Yet somehow the boat people are supposed to represent a threat not only to our borders, but to our national security. Kevin Rudd has in fact unleashed the resources of ASIO against these leaky vessels carrying insignificant numbers of the desperate and destitute into our waters. So why the paranoia? My own theory is that it has to do with residual guilt. The original settlers arrived by boat, and from 1788 the trickle became a flood. Resistance was offered, but it was too little and too late: the Australian nation – in fact a great many Australian nations – were overwhelmed, their way of life destroyed and their people killed, expelled from their lands and marginalised. It has

Howard and his ministers like the vampiric Phillip Ruddock talked of the asylum seekers as queue jumpers, illegals, disease carriers, drug pedlars, potential terrorists and eventually child murderers, not the sort of people you would want in this country unless they were permanently confined behind razor wire, Rudd has urged compassion; his words and actions have been humane with the closure of the hell holes of Nauru and Manus Island, the abolition of the psychological torture of Temporary Protection Visas and the relatively speedy processing of claims. But, unwilling to appear soft on border protection, he has gone over the top about people smugglers, ‘the scum of the earth who should burn in hell forever’. They may not all be in the mould of one of his own heroes, the anti-Nazi people smuggler Dietrich Bonhoeffer, but they are still providing a service the asylum seekers desire and use. To demonise them in such extravagant fash-

ion is reminiscent of the way the Victorians used to persecute prostitutes while turning a sympathetic, or at least blind, eye to their clients. But, as the quotation at the start of this piece demonstrates, Rudd and his advisers have clearly decided that he needs to counter Abbott’s bloodthirsty rhetoric with some of his own. There is a better way, and surprisingly it was most recently articulated by a normally conservative commentator, Peter van Onselen in the Weekend Australian. Van Onselen took the high ground in his appeal for calm: ‘I find it disappointingly inconsistent that both our political leaders, Rudd and Tony Abbott, wear their religion on their sleeves yet neither of them practises the compassion that Christianity extols when it comes to boat people.’ He acknowledges that at least some of Rudd’s actions have been compassionate but accuses Abbott of ‘applying the rhetoric of former Labor powerbroker Graham Richardson to asylum seekers when he says that he will do whatever it takes to stop illegal boat arrivals’. Instead, he should pay more heed to the traditions of his Jesuit teachers, and embrace the concept of ‘compassionate conservatism’. After all many of the asylum seekers who have been accepted have become successful small businessmen, a core Liberal Party constituency. Van Onselen concludes: ‘Australians shouldn’t be afraid of boat people trying to come to our country. Our geographical position means that their numbers will always be small compared with refugee migration to other parts of the world. It’s time our politicians started to lead public opinion on this issue rather than following it.’ Hear, hear!

The Rally For Our Safety recently was the culmination of three months work by a small steering committee of local parents and residents. Now that the dust has settled it is timely to reflect on what was achieved. The numbers present on Sunday were beyond what we had hoped for and the subsequent media coverage took the event and the issues raised to national TV and radio audiences. When the 60 Minutes program became interested the members of the Alliance were worried that the Tweed would be depicted in an unbalanced and negative light. Our aims have always been to promote greater social cohesion through highlighting anti-social behavior and the tragic consequences of youth violence. Now that the 60 Minutes program is, for the moment, on the back burner we can continue to promote the positives. Apart from the rally’s extreme heat of the morning, the criticisms that flowed back to the steering committee were that we should have been more aggressive and that we should not have allowed the police to address the rally using a prepared statement that denied the presence of youth gangs on the Tweed. There was a walkout following the police statement

and some of these people said that nothing would change while police held such views. Some people were also critical of the use of young speakers and young performers but the purpose of the community rally was to involve young people in the planning and presentation. Young people are just as concerned about violence and anti-social behavior as other groups within the community. Calls for vigilante or summary action against young offenders because of the perception of ineffective policing, while understandable in the present situation, are not endorsed by the Alliance which has always sought the middle way. The petition presented to MLA Geoff Provest contains over 3,000 signatures and shows the degree of concern about youth violence and anti-social behavior in our communities. Police comments that, in comparison to other parts of the state, we have a relatively low rate of violence is an empty argument. Our petitioners

obviously want a next-to-zero incidence in our local area – we do not want to become the Bankstown Local Area Command. The online petition set up by Sharon Duce of the Alliance contains hundreds of signatures and contains many thoughtful comments from people all over the Tweed who are advocating solutions: better transport, youth initiatives, education. We urge you to log on and read the comments at www.gopetition.com/ petitions/rally-for-our-safety. html. and you will realise this is not simply a police problem it is a community problem. Local government involvement will be crucial to solving this problem but sadly we could not get much interest from local councillors prior to the rally. Mayor Polglase and deputy mayor Youngblutt attended the Cabarita meeting and the mayor attended the rally. Apart from this we did not receive responses to our invitations from our other

councillors. We have a great opportunity before us right now to continue to agitate and achieve outcomes that will benefit our community. Two ideas are being considered: the first, a letter to the Minister for Police delivered through Geoff Provest asking for answers to questions raised through the work of the Safer Communities Alliance and inviting the minister and commissioner to come to the Tweed and address community concerns at a meeting chaired by the Alliance. The second is for a community bike ride to involve the villages of the Tweed Coast on a Sunday in May. There are many other ways ‘to skin this cat’ and we encourage people to get involved. People from Murwillumbah and districts and Tweed Heads would be particularly welcome to attend the next meeting of the Safer Communities Alliance.

In perspective

this essential change. I have written to all councillors on two occasions making this suggestion, as well as to the general manager and to the relevant state department concerned with local government. Significantly, I have received a reply from Cr Milne but, predictably, from no other councillors. The Local Government Department’s website makes it plain that it is open to councillors to make this change, which effectively passes the ball back to them. I suggest that unless this change takes place, and soon, council meetings will degenerate further into chaos. It is not only Cr Milne who is held in contempt by some of her fellow councillors, but Tweed Shire residents as well. We need to own the democratic process.

Tweed rely on us for their livelihood. We need to be there in numbers, so please, we need you, your wife or your husband, your neighbours. If we try, and fail, then such is life. But there is no excuse if we can not be bothered to attend… it will just guarantee that people 1000km away in Sydney can continue to control our future. Do you have any of the Australian spirit of Eureka left in you? I hope so.

So Leda has only given $500 per candidate to every Labor party candidate across NSW in the past two elections, Laurie (Letters, April 1). I was surprised you didn’t break that figure down further, by working it out according to the number of teeth each candidate had. The other point you make is they have given money to everybody else as well. Everybody else is not making the decision to make us into a cheap Gold Coast, Laurie – it is the comrades in Macquarie Street, now. If $100,000 is such a small sum, why doesn’t the Labor Party have a quick whip round and give it back. I’m happy to throw in the first 10 dollars, before the decision is made. Lisa Annette Townsend

Murwillumbah PS. Anybody worried about the lack of police in Tweed, should consider what the effects of another 30 thousand people on tiny blocks will be. Yes, I am looking at you, Mr Provest.

Upper Crystal Creek

Electing the mayor Reports in local media that Mayor Polglase has made reference to supporters of Cr Milne’s environmental position as ‘ratbags’ does nothing more than reinforce the need for residents of Tweed Shire to elect the positions of mayor and deputy whenever local government elections are held. There are precedents for this process, of course, Lismore being just one. But it will take a concerted campaign by local media to convince councillors of the need to make

A chance for a say Rural landowners should note that Tweed Shire Council and our elected councillors have kindly arranged an opportunity for us to speak with them about rural land issues on Wednesday, April 14, between 6.30pm-8.30pm in the council’s auditorium. These two hours could be the most important for us in the next 10 years. We have all observed the decline in rural industries over the past 10 years so now is the time to get the message across that we desperately need change. If we fail, then as I see it, there will be no farmers left in 10 years time. This is not just about our survival, as many businesses and people in and around the

Follow the Leda After studying comments in The Echo and elsewhere, readers may wish to consider these scenarios. What is fact and what is fiction or parable? Scenario 1. One mega and filthy-rich development corporation, Leda, is the sole owner and proponent of the Tweed’s two new major towns, representing approximately 80 per cent of all new residential developments. The principal, Bob Ell, donates generously to both sides of politics and is reputed to wield considerable influence. His local representative, Reg van Rij, may be seen going in and out of the council chambers with his ear to a phone and is able to convene closed council meetings at short notice. Scenario 2. A majority of councillors were or could be described by Commissioner Daly as ‘developer puppets’. Crs Polglase, Youngblutt and Holdom seem to have a close understanding. They invariably vote in favour of large developments, and in concert

Letters with Cr van Lieshout lead the orchestrated attacks on Cr Milne. Katie is the only consistent advocate for ecological sustainability, an official policy of all Australian governments, although frequently not followed. Scenario 3. If large development corporations wish to maximise their profitability, an obvious tactic would be to have Cr Milne sidelined by a campaign of constant harassment and bullying. Or to move rescission motions to delay reports being forwarded to the state government. The Minister for Planning wields almost total power under the Part 3A amendment to the EPA Act, but councils should still strive to achieve the best outcomes for local residents. Scenario 4. Imagine the lakes at Cobaki and Cudgen where the reflection of the black swan becomes reversed. Imagine the rare and threatened swan not raping, but being raped by Leda. Ah, but who is the omnipotent Poseidon? Is the swan the indicator species, the canary in the coalmine soon to become the dodo? Who are the ostriches with their heads in the sand? Who is the Rhodesian ridgeback attack dog? Are the three wise monkeys the local media, or the three levels of government regulation concerning monopolies, corruption and good governance?

You must be congratulated on your courage to follow a splendid idea through to delivery. Please keep putting the ‘other’ side into print. Hopefully more people will eventually realise that the Tweed Shire Council must be improved or removed.

THE APRICUS ADVANTAGES:

Flat plate collectors perform very well in warm sunny conditions conditions, as the ambient temperatures are high, but summer is not when hot water requirements are the highest. During cold months when the ambient temperatures are low is when hot water demand is highest and it takes the most energy to heat the water, and so when solar gain is of most value – evacuated tubes greatly outperform at plates under such conditions due to the superior insulation properties. Wind therefore also has much less effect on evacuated tubes than on at plates.

The Tweed Shire Echo April 8, 2010 13

Television Guide 1. Robin Williams et al have fun in The Birdcage (Prime, Friday, 8.30pm), an American remake of the French comedy La Cage Aux Folles. 2. SBS’s paedophiliac commentary does not do justice to Venus (SBS1, Saturday, 10pm), which is better described as ‘a pair of grizzled veteran actors have their daily routine disrupted by the arrival of a brash grandniece’. Peter O’Toole shines as one of the grizzlies, as does Jodie Whittaker as the niece in question. 3. Another excellent remake of the Thomas Hardy classic Tess Of the D’Urbervilles (ABC1, Sunday, 8.30pm). Nothing like dour country folk to spice up your evening.

CANCER: As retrograde planets internalise relationship energies you could start feeling more of a hermit Crab – hardly a problem when resting, nesting and reflecting suit your astrological style. The weekend’s affectionate vibes are excellent for playing catchup with those who love spending time in your company. LEO: While this week responds delightedly to your majestic chutzpah, its big ask is balancing your forthright urge to tell it like it is with an equally important need not to upset or offend others. Critical feedback’s always more effective when sandwiched between compliments. VIRGO: Saturn’s midweek retrograde into Virgo brings a replay of something you thought was already taken care of, giving you yet another chance to let go of long standing grudges or prickly issues and apply the healing feeling of forgiveness – most of all to yourself.

ARIES: As this week kicks off a long personal growth cycle of change, challenge and opportunity, Saturn’s retrograde may affect your income. Aries can be over-trusting, so don’t let people take advantage – or get angry if they do, because this week good behaviour pays off. TAURUS: Mercury joining love bucket Venus in Taurus makes you extra witty and eloquent, while all improvements to yourself, home or workplace will expand your present good fortune and attract more. It’s also a good time to tune into your body knowledge for insight on health problems. GEMINI: Saturn’s retrograde in your home and family zone could stir up your personal life and relegate some plans to the back burner, but don’t give up on them. Relationship hot spots need patience and artful negotiation this week, so be generous with both.

LIBRA: This week offers plenty of exercise turning arguments into agreements and brokering peace treaties with strong willed people who want to run the show. Pluto retrograde brings some interesting lessons in self development via emotional issues from the past resurfacing for resolution. SCORPIO: Be discerning about the people and ideas you align with this week, particularly confrontational citizens who increase desire without satisfying it. You may have to work on your attitude. If others are barging round trying taking charge, don’t waste energy butting heads. Let them have their way – you go yours and do your own thing. SAGITTARIUS: You gregarious Sagittarians will probably do your best thinking solo this week, figuring out how to simplify what’s become complicated in your life. Income and assets may have to be reviewed and recalibrated, but this need only be as stressful as you make it.

CAPRICORN: Early week Capricorn moon is excellent for setting intentions: reviewing the past, assessing the present, planning the future – as much as anyone can in this uncertain world. If this raises more questions than answers, that’s good – it’s humbling to realize you don’t already know everything. AQUARIUS: Midweek Aquarius moon brings ingenious ideas and a delicious sense of mischief, followed by a significant healing shift operating over the next few months if you’re open to it. If uncomfortable realisations are involved, don’t dismiss them but do go easy on yourself. PISCES: As Saturn’s retrograde starts rewiring the personal and economic terms and conditions of Piscean relationships, try to get as much of the nuts and bolts of basic boundaries, clear responsibilities and practical plans sorted before Mercury’s unhelpful retrograde on the 17th of this month.

Play at Seagulls Club, Thurs 6-10pm Vassily Smyslov, the legendary former World Champion, died in Moscow last week aged 89. Smyslov was probably the strongest player in the world throughout the 1950s, a period when the Soviet Union was unearthing a plethora of world class players. Smyslov first earned a World Championship challenge against Botvinnik in 1954, after winning the powerful Zurich Candidates tournament. In the world title match, a nervous Smyslov conceded an early three point lead to Botvinnik, fought back but ultimately the match was tied 12-12 and Botvinnik hung on to his title. At the end of the next three year cycle Smyslov was ready and defeated Botvinnik, although the automatic rematch a year later saw his rival regain the title. The subsequent rise of Tal, Spassky and Fischer saw Smyslov lose the limelight until an amazing revival in the 1980s. Already in his 60s, Smyslov not only became a World Championship candidate again but reached the final match in 1983 before losing to Garry Kasparov, who then went on to begin his

series of epic world title matches against Anatoly Karpov. Smyslov’s chess style, frequently described as harmonious and elegant, had more fans among the world elite than the rank and file. Vladimir Kramnik remarked in 2005: ‘He played the game as it should be played. His style was the closest to some sort of “virtual truth” in chess in that he always tried to make the strongest move in each position.’ The following game, against Australia’s best player of the time, shows just how smoothly a Smyslov assault could proceed.

Niagara and the Hitmen Detroit art punk rock queen Niagara will team with iconic rock and roll soldiers the Hitmen for an eight-date Australia tour in April. Since the ‘90s, Niagara has concentrated on her exploding career as a pop art painter and has dipped back into the music only rarely. The Hitmen are one of the Australian rock scene’s most enduring acts, and have emerged from the ashes of classic Aussie rock band Radio Birdman. In 2008, Niagara was lured out of retirement, with the Hitmen as her backing band to create the album St Valentines Day Massacre. With their talents combined, fans can expect to see

crap. I have some simple Mothers Day ideas that would make any mother’s heart swell with love and it doesn’t involve fluffy slippers or Barry Manilow. Do the dishes. Not just once. Do them for a week. Pick your clothes up off the floor and put them in the basket. Feed the fricking dog. Try taking it for a walk. And the cat. When it jumps on the table and puts its puckered butt in your face, it’s not trying to say hello or do a Pauline Hanson impersonation. He’s hungry. Put the bin out. When you see the woman with the uterus who bore you struggling with the shopping, or lugging stuff from the car, then give her a hand. Make your bed. Properly. Not with bits of sheet hanging below the doona and undies scrunched up under the pillow. When you notice it’s raining, get the clothes off the line. Make yourself a sandwich at lunchtime and use a plate. Then take the plate to the sink. Put the butter away and wipe the bench down. And here’s a doozy: change the toilet roll and when you do a poo, stay with it until you flush it down. It’s these acts of simple kindness that will bring a mother to tears. Please don’t punish us with Mariah Carey. It’s not just music, it’s a human rights issue. So as Mother’s Day approaches, I know my expectation of domestic engagement is unrealistic. So I have decided the only safe defence is to shut down iTunes and gaffer tape up the slit on my hard drive.

CHRYSTAL AND THE ROCK AT THE SOUNDLOUNGE, FRIDAY APRIL 9

a two-hour show comprising a Hitmen set followed by a highenergy bracket from Niagara. Sunday April 11, Surfer’s Paradise Beer Garden.

Beau Young Having grown up with surfing in his veins, his connection and love of the ocean from a very young age was inevitable. Inspired and thus spurred on by his friend Ben Harper, Beau turned his energy to music. Long before leaving the competitive world of surfing Beau had been writing songs; this inclination was sparked as a youngster on many long coastal drives with his family.

Influences include J.J.Cale, Bob Dylan, Neil Young and early Rolling Stones recordings. Beau has experienced an incredible two years with his music – from the release of his debut album internationally, and his EP release in both Australia and Japan. His music has been included on several compilations, including Beautiful Songs 1 in Japan (Warner Music) and the recently released Delightful Rain CD, a celebration of Australian surf music, in which he rerecorded the classic Simple Ben, taken from the Morning of the Earth surf film. See him at Le Monde Kirra at 1.30pm Sunday.

The Foreigner

BEAU YOUNG AT LE MONDE KIRRA, 1.30PM SUNDAY. PHOTO BY PAUL GOSNEY

Murwillumbah Theatre Co will be holding second auditions for ‘The Foreigner’ by Larry Shue at the Murwillumbah Civic Centre on Tuesday April 13 at 7pm. Five males are required (four aged 30 – 45 and one in his 20’s) and two females (one in her 30’s and the other 70- 80). The title character, Charlie, has come from England with his friend Froggy, a British military demolition expert to stay at a rural Georgia fishing lodge in the USA. Charlie, a scientific proof reader by day and a boring husband by night, dreads having to speak to anyone. So, at Froggy’s suggestion, he adopts the persona of a foreigner who doesn’t understand English. When others begin to speak freely around him, he not only becomes privy to secrets both dangerous and frivolous, he also discovers an adventur-

ous extrovert within himself. The play combines physical and verbal comedy with a dash of serious social commentary on prejudice and cultural stereotypes. The production opens Friday May 28 and runs for three weekends, finishing on Saturday June 12. For further information phone Julie, the director on 0411 721 826.

COMMUNITY PRINTMAKERS ART SPACE Heather Matthew: Refuge(e) Refuge and shelter has been a consistent theme in Heather Matthew’s work over the last few years, and this exhibition, Refuge(e) further explores this concept by focusing on women and children, the most vulnerable of refugees. The installation includes a refuge built from local found materials and threaded paper. Also artworks illustrate women’s narratives, stitched in thread, printed on fabric and paper showing motifs of mapping, direction, fleeing, and displacement. Heather is completing a Bachelor of Visual Arts at Southern Cross University and has won several awards for photogra-

phy and sculpture. Her current work reflects a shift to installation, collage and mixed media. The exhibition will be held at the Community Printmakers Murwillumbah (CPM Inc) Art Space, 33-35 Kyogle Road Bray Park via Murwillumbah. The official opening is at 3pm on Saturday April 10, and runs until June 6. For more info contact the gallery on (02) 6672 8276 or Heather Matthew on 0427 762 292.

play a key role in these works, emphasising the dramatic, and the ability it has to make the ordinary sublime.

‘The Dawn Language’, is nationally renowned artist Emma Walker new body of work, and continues this week at the Tweed River Art Gallery. The artist says of her work: ‘I wanted to capture a sense of that space where the mind‌ may dream and wander. ‘The Dawn Language’ is a metaphysical language – a language of reverie and profound mystery. In the words of Robert Browning, ‘A man’s reach should exceed his grasp or what’s a heaven for?’ I now recognise that I need an entire lifetime to get to the bottom of this subject matter,’ Ms Walker said. The Tweed River Art Gallery is located on 2 Mistral Rd (Corner of Tweed Valley Way) in Murwillumbah. The Gallery and CafĂŠ is open from Wednesday to Sunday 10am – 5pm.

Printer’s Proofs: from the Fred Genis Collection

Landscape and Memory: David Kas

Lamp working display with Wendy Lees and Anthony Hoy

From the age of 32, Fred Genis worked with a wide variety of artists as a lithographic printer. The selection of Australian prints exhibited in Printer’s Proofs represents only a small number from the hundreds of prints in Fred’s collection. The diversity of artistic styles not only reflects the breadth of artists that Genis has worked with, but also his skill in the lithographic process. The exhibition runs until Sunday July 11.

Wendy and Anthony will demonstrate their beautiful lampworking technique for making glass beads. Anthony has a wealth of knowledge on glass history and loves to talk to visitors. This fascinating display will appeal to all ages. Sunday April 11, 11am-3pm at the Tweed River Art Gallery, Murwillumbah.

This exhibition presents a series of drawings and paintings of mythical landscapes that are derived from experience and invention. The works respond to feelings evoked by the recollection of land forms. Remembered elements of the landscape are merged to illustrate the idea that the observer can encounter what seems to be a familiar place, without the existence of a direct memory.

Disability sports grants available Online resource for sport’s The NSW Government recently announced 15 sporting organisations across NSW will share in $230,000 in funding to help boost their disability sports programs. Sport and Recreation Minister Kevin Greene recently made the announcement with Miranda MP Barry Collier and Sailability NSW at their facilities at Port Hacking. ‘The Keneally Government is committed to making sure everyone in the community has the chance to get involved in sport and physical activity,’ Mr Greene said. ‘As part of that commitment we are working to help remove the barriers to participation. ‘That’s why we’ve invested this $230,000 in funding to help these 15 organisations

train and develop participants, coaches, administrators, officials and volunteers, increasing opportunities for people with a disability to participate and compete in sport. ‘Getting involved in sport leads to quite a few physical and mental health benefits like improved self-esteem and reduced obesity. ‘This funding directly helps sport and physical activity programs for people with a disability.’ Mr Collier said Sailability is a great example of a local organisation helping Sutherland Shire residents with a disability enjoy the many benefits of sport and recreation. ‘Sailability is a non-profit, volunteer-based organisation which through the activity of

sailing, enriches the lives of people with any type of disability,’ Mr Collier said. ‘This important organisation provides activities for all skill levels, including recreational or therapeutic services, to world championship and Paralympic training. ‘That’s why it’s great to see them awarded $20,000 by the NSW Government to help volunteers gain an instructor’s certificate,’ he said. The Disability Sports Funding Program, administered through The NSW Government’s Communities NSW Sport and Recreation Division, is open to non-profit organisations affiliated with a national sporting organisation funded or recognised by the Australian Sports Commission.

culturally diverse The Minister for Sport Kate Ellis launched a new online resource last month to help sporting groups engage more sportspeople from culturally diverse backgrounds. Minister Ellis joined the Australian Sports Commission and leading national sports to promote All Cultures, a program that aims to connect people from new migrant groups with their local sporting clubs. ‘As the composition of our community continues to evolve then so must Australian sport,’ said Ms Ellis. ‘New migrants are two-thirds less likely to participate in sport than other Australians and that’s a real shame. They are missing out and sport as a whole is missing out.’ ‘We want to make sure that people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds can reap the lifelong health and social benefits of sport.

‘Many of our grassroots and elite sports are missing out on the new skills and greater participation rates that the involvement of people from diverse origins can bring. ‘I want to see a multicultural sporting landscape that includes players, coaches, officials, administrators and supporters from different cultural origins.’ The Australian Sports Commission’s All Cultures program aims to lift low participation rates by providing advice to the Australian sporting sector about how to be more inclusive. The new online resources include videos detailing existing multicultural sport programs and useful tips for clubs, coaches and officials. The website complements the All Cultures education programs and an ambassador-led awareness program. The Department of Im-

migration and Citizenship is working closely with the Australian Sports Commission to promote the All Cultures resource to schools and community groups. Brazilian-born Collingwood Football Club defender Harry O’Brien is one of several All Cultures ambassadors and is passionate about getting people from all backgrounds involved in sport. ‘Football is a vehicle which helped me to integrate into Australian society,’ he saiod. ‘If we can all share in that sporting passion we can bring people together.’ The event was also attended by several local sporting heroes including the Ravens, a basketball team of women of African origin, and Duer Yoa, who came to Australia as a refugee from Sudan and has trained to become a promising 5km cross country athlete.

New report shows $400 billion in property to change hands by 2025 M

ore than $400 billion worth of property assets are likely to change hands over the next 15 years as part of an unprecedented baton change of wealth between generations, according to the latest Bankwest Financial Indicators Series report. Never before has such a vast reservoir of wealth moved between generations as an increasing number of ‘veterans’ (aged 70 plus) succumb to old age and pass on a vast pool of property assets to their adult children. This enormous bounty of wealth will be greatly expanded as older Baby Boomers also start to pass away over the coming years and leave behind billions of dollars worth of property. The latest Bankwest Financial Indictor Series report, ‘Inherited Housing Report 2010’, reveals that a combination of rising property prices, an ageing population and high home ownership rates will combine to produce a ‘perfect storm�’ with record intergenerational wealth transfer or inheritance. Bankwest Retail CEO Vittoria Shortt said the Inherited Housing Wealth Report was based on ABS census data and life expectancy figures and showed that $407 billion worth of housing assets is projected to be inherited by Australians over the next 15 years. ‘One in ten homes owned by households will potentially be given away by 2025 which represents an unprecedented baton change in intergeneration wealth, the likes of which we have never seen before,’ Ms Shortt said.

‘The Veterans and Baby Boomers have ridden a rising tide of property prices over recent decades and are now sitting on housing assets worth around $1.5 to $2 trillion. ‘Crucially, our research projects that there will be a 95% increase in the number of estates with housing assets by 2025. ‘In 2009 there was an estimated $16bn of housing inheritance and our report shows this could increase by 93% to $31bn a year by 2025.’ The analysis is based on ABS census data on home ownership by gender, age group and statistical division; ABS life expectancy data by state and age; and Residex median house prices by statistical division. In the interest of conservative analysis, these projections are based on current property prices and do not model any future price increases. Ms Shortt said three key factors were driving the expected pick-up in housing inheritance: r "O BHFJOH QPQVMBUJPO r )JHI IPNF PXOFSTIJQ SBUFT amongst older Australians r 3JTJOH QSPQFSUZ QSJDFT Less certain, Ms Shortt said, was the impact this enormous generational largess will have on the wider economy. ‘It is still possible that some of this housing wealth might be sold and converted to cash before the Veteran or Baby Boomer passes away, although that would appear less likely with Veterans than the older Boomers. ‘It’s no secret that many Boomers are determined to cling to a

lost youth. They might decide to sell their property and go out with a “bang�, rather than sit on a huge asset and pass it on to their adult children.’ Ms Shortt also noted that ‘the capital cities are likely to see the biggest gains from housing inheritance over the next 15 years.’ Projected housing inheritance is highest in Sydney ($113bn), Melbourne ($86bn), Brisbane ($33bn) and Perth ($33bn). Outside of the capital cities the biggest inheritance is projected to be on Queensland’s Gold Coast ($12bn) and the Hunter region of NSW ($11bn), both popular retirement destinations. Projected

inherited housing wealth over the next 15 years amounts to around 12% of the value of total Australian household’s housing assets of $3.5 trillion. Other interesting facts: r юF WBMVF PG "VTUSBMJB T IPVTJOH stock is $3.5 trillion r /48 JT QSPKFDUFE UP IBWF of national housing inheritance ($155bn) over 2010-2025 r 8" JT QSPKFDUFE UP TFF B TIBSQ rise (116%) in housing inheritance over the next 15 years. r юFSF IBT CFFO B SJTF JO the number of over 65s over the past 20 years to 2.9 million. r /FBSMZ NJMMJPO EXFMMJOHT BSF

owned by over 50s. r ŃŽFSF BSF IJHIFS PXOFS PDDVpation rates for over 50s (81%) The number of estates with housing assets for inheritance, ie passed to the next generation, and the value of inherited housing wealth has been calculated by projecting the number of single home owners that pass away each year and looking at the average value of their properties. Projections have been made at a national and state level and for 60 statistical divisions across Australia. More detailed analysis, data and tables can be found in the Bankwest Inherited Housing Report 2010 at www.bankwest.com.au.

Well-known Murwillumbah business identity Phil Taylor joined the fray recently to make his views known about proposed changes to planning laws, especially its plans for the run-down South Murwillumbah commercial precinct where he owns property and runs a busy little used-car dealership. ‘Six storeys for south Murwillumbah?’ he asked. ‘Why not go to 16 storeys, I’ve been saying that for a while, you could have units up top with views around the town and valley, that would bring this place alive.’ It was vintage stuff from Phil and he’s not alone among business and landowners there who dislike the restrictions to development on the flood-prone area where historic high water levels have been recorded. â– â– â– â–

Like Joan of Arc before her, Cr Joan van Lieshout has been having visions. Not of a spiritual nature it must be said, these are much more of an earthly nature. In Joan’s dream the Tweed should ‘embrace sustainable economic and environmental practices, ensuring viability for our community whilst attracting business ventures which provide employment, education and sustainable solutions, yet retaining the unique lifestyle and landscape which we now enjoy’. Phew! Pretty good stuff, Joan, the sort of thing that comes in a flash when there’s a federal election on the horizon. In this ‘futuristic model’ (her words) there will be ‘affordable housing initiatives for the aged and low income levels’, ‘innovative sustainable services in transport, recreation, health and wellbeing for the aged and youth community’ and economic growth for all, employing ‘food related and eco tourism’. Unfortunately her efforts at the last council meeting to get a workshop up and running so she could explain all this to her colleagues met with a nono. Only Crs Polglase and his

Conservationists across NSW say they’re appalled at the government’s wanton disregard for the habitat of the last known koala population on the state’s Far South Coast after controversially approving logging there. NSW Wildlife Council says that ‘once again, biodiversity and the environment come second best to woodchipping. It is unbelievable that Premier Keneally has allowed logging

ago, a mature orange tree which they had tended for years was also ripped out, but not before the couple salvaged three bucketfuls of sweet ripe oranges. The tree had been planted over 20 years ago by the late sister of one of the two, so it also had sentimental value. Then just before Easter, the park manager set his sights on a small garden bed at the back of the resident’s site, saying they had no approval for it and it too would suffer the same fate. The couple say they’re now having to use pots for any planting, which tends to waste more water than if they were simply left in the ground. â– â– â– â–

Terranora will get its post office back – after a few months’ break. Since the village store closed suddenly in February, residents have been left in the dark about whether the growing suburb would have the vital community resource reinstated. Fortunately, Australia Post agrees there is a need, confirming to The Echo that an office will open in the Terranora Shopping Centre on Monday, April 12. â– â– â– â–

A well-known Murwillumbah conservative was overheard on the street the other day telling someone planning to advertise something in The Echo that the popular new weekly was ‘a communist rag’ but urged them to advertise anyway ‘because everybody bloody reads it’. It’s a red rag to a bull, so to speak, but we’ll take it as a compliment.
