High-rise density comes under fire Ken Sapwell

AUTOQLDN02362

Tweed Heads will have more high-rise towers in one concentrated area than anywhere on the Gold Coast under the town’s draft LEP, says a residents’ group. The Tweed District Residents and Ratepayers’ Association has letterboxed hundreds of homes urging residents to object to the plans before the deadline for submissions expires tomorrow, Friday. Association president Laurie Ganter says the so-called 25-year vision for Tweed Heads by the Department of Planning’s Six City Taskforce lacks community involvement and support. ‘The town centre has been treated as if it has the potential to become a city centre like Wollongong or Newcastle by the fly-in fly-out Sydney planners who have ignored local comments and advice,’ he said. ‘The association believes the Tweed City Centre LEP and DCP should be based on the State approved 2004 Tweed Heads master plan which has the support of the great majority of the local community. ‘We totally reject these new plans because they have no community backing and totally change the city centre to a Gold Coast-like precinct.’ Mr Ganter accused mayor Warren Polglase and Planning Minister Tony Kelly of making highly deceptive comments about the draft LEP when the documents were initially placed on display in January. Mr Kelly said buildings would not go higher than those already in the area, ignoring the fact that the draft increased building heights near the border from 15 storeys to 22 storeys and on the town’s southern approach-

es from two storeys to 16 storeys. Cr Polglase had also assured residents that Tweed Heads would retain its unique lifestyle and ‘would never be a Gold Coast-type area’. Mr Ganter said his association was unable to find an area on the Gold Coast that would have a higher living density than the fully built Tweed Heads city centre. He said a good example were the units built west of the Robina shopping centre which everyone passed on the way to the Robina railway station. They were only six-storeys high. ‘However a future drive through Tweed Heads from the Queensland border south down Wharf Street could start beside 16-storey buildings, would then go to a 15 storey Centro, then down to 11 storey for the rest of Wharf Street and up to a 22 storey tower before Boyds Bay Bridge.’

Honouring the fallen

Mr Ganter said the government’s Veterans Mick Price, left, and Doug Moore, right, look on. Young Vinny’s involvement in the ceremony was typipush to turn Wharf Street into a highrise canyon totally ignored the com- cal throughout Tweed Anzac Day services, with many

munity’s wishes. Mr Ganter said no policy debate or public participation with regard to these proposed massive increases to the community and council approved 2004 Tweed Heads master plan had been undertaken. ‘There is no material accompanying the plans which attempts to justify these significant changes,’ he said. ‘We know of no community demand to live in a more dense Tweed City centre than anywhere you will see on the Gold Coast. ‘The 2004 Tweed Heads master plan which limited building heights in the town centre with lower population densities and preserved view planes should be adopted instead.’

Council ethical investment bid fails Richard Johns

Tweed Shire Council’s investment strategy paid good returns over the past month, with a return of 4.85 per cent annualised, equating to almost $490,000 on an investment of $121.1 million, with 70 per cent of that held in term deposits. Nevertheless, at last week’s council meeting Cr Katie Milne considered there was not only room for possible improvement but wanted council to look at having an ethical investment strategy.

She was also unsuccessful in having a workshop set up to look at wetlands, particularly those facing pressure from developers, such as that at Waterlilly Close, Nunderi.

Cr Milne proposed engaging an investment consultant who would ‘focus on sustainable, ethical and low impact activities, potentially partnering with disadvantaged groups’. The motion was just one of a handful Cr Milne put up that failed to attract a seconder, meaning they were lost without further debate. Others included establishing a committee to ‘address population issues for the Tweed Shire’; preparing a report on sustainable water options, detailing ‘legislative impediments that inhibit council from achieving

Fig tree finally bites the dust

Rate rise helps bottom line

The historic ‘Hatton’s fig tree’ beside Kyogle Road at Byangum was finally chopped down by Tweed Shire Council work crews last week despite calls for it to be protected. Council decided it had to be removed as it posed a safety risk to passing motorists from falling limbs due to rot. But a local tree enthusiast told The Echo the tree’s trunk and main limbs appeared to be rot-free once the chainsaws had cut through it and the tree should have been trimmed instead. Last week, councillors unanimously approved a plan put forward by Uki-based Cr Barry Longland for council to report on the feasibility of establishing a memorial to the pioneering Hatton family on Council land near Byangum Bridge, centered around a replanted seedling from the tree. The original tree was planted in 1898 by pioneering blacksmith Harry Hatton to mark The fig showing no sign of rot during its destruction last week. the birth of his second son. Photo Luis Feliu

The 8.5 per cent rise in the general rate, or 0.3685 cents in the dollar for residential properties, will contribute 21 per cent to Tweed Shire’s income in the next financial year. A further 15 per cent comes from a rise in fees and charges. Included in this is the annual residential access charge to the sewer system, which goes up from $527 to $568, bringing in a total of $16.4 million. There are also small increases in hire fees for community halls, and the cost of burials goes up, a single or dual plot at Tweed Valley rising from $3928 to $4195, while interring ashes at Murwillumbah is forecast to go up to $901 from $861. Residential water charges rise, from $1.50 to $1.65 up to and including 350 kilo litres per annum. Anything over that usage will be charged at $2.50 ($2.25). However, a storm water management levy will not be introduced.

syndrome, relies on the walking frame and wheelchair for mobility but his family’s car which had the vital equipment inside was stolen recently. The car was later recovered but the equipment was missing. To help Angus’s family buy new equipment, more than 600 students and staff dressed in a colourful assortment of fashionable outfits last Thursday to help raise funds by a gold coin donation. A school spokesperson said the local Lions Club has since donated a car seat for Angus; however, a specialised wheelchair is still needed. The school’s learning support officer Jenny Watt says Angus struggles without his wheelchair, which is essential for his mobility at school. The students raised $531 for the Munro family towards replacing the stolen goods. Angus’s father Brian Munro says he appreciates the school’s efforts.

Kingscliff resort plans on display Council execs Plans for a resort development involving 180 bungalows and public facilities on a controversial block of beachfront crown land known as Lot 490 at Kingscliff are on display till May 24. The development by Leighton Properties for the proposed tourist resort on a 43-hectare site adjacent to Cudgen Creek is expected to cost $105 million and involve around $5 million of community facilities and environmental rehabilitation works. The plans come after almost 10 years of debate over the best use for the prime property between the Cudgen Creek bridge and the Salt development.

<echowebsection=Local News>

The developer says the resort would be limited to around a quarter of the site with over 30 hectares to be provided for public facilities and revegetation works. The development will include picnic shelters, public toilets, a children’s playground, bike and pedestrian trails, an Aboriginal interpretive centre, public art and 83 public car parks. Details are available on the NSW Planning Department website, at Tweed Shire Council’s Murwillumbah headquarters and at the Kingscliff Library. The public have until May 24 to lodge comments with the department.

get salary rise The top echelon of bureaucrats in the Tweed will share in a 17 per cent rise in the total pot of funds available for salaries. The figures are revealed in the 2010/11 draft Tweed Shire Council budget, which shows the overall figure rising from $1,088,714 to $1,271,159. The figure is set to increase to $1,309,293 in 2011/12. The draft does not give details on individual salaries. The budget for mayor and councillors also rises, from $202,354 to $211,739, or four per cent. www.tweedecho.com.au

Award for palliative volunteer Tania Phillips

A Limpinwood woman who has dedicated her life to ensuring the people of the Tweed end their lives in dignity has been honoured with a special award. Tweed Palliative Support (TPS) president Meredith Dennis received the Premier’s Community Service Award on Tuesday this week from Lismore MP Thomas George (both pictured right). For a woman who has quietly gone about her business for the group since its inception in 1998, the ceremony was just as lowkey with Mr George presenting her with the glass trophy after a meeting at the group’s new facility at Dulguigan. Mr George said Meredith was honoured because of her dedication to TPS and other community projects. ‘Since moving to the Tweed Valley from Sydney, Meredith has been actively involved in the community, starting with the Murwillumbah Hospital Auxil-

iary and Pink Ladies,’ he said. Meredith, a former nurse, has worked tirelessly up to 65 hours per week as the volunteer TPS coordinator, attending weekly meetings at Tweed and Murwillumbah Hospitals and with community nurses to be briefed on the needs of palliative patients in the area and how best to assist them.

She also provides shelter for lost and injured animals on her farm and is a member of the Tweed River Art Gallery board and management committee. ‘Through her involvement with TPS, Meredith has given care, comfort and support to people during the final stages of their life,’ Mr George said.

Budget big on water and sewerage Richard Johns

Major projects on schedule this year in Tweed Shire include redevelopment of the Murwillumbah Community Centre, which has been earmarked $1 million, and a $3 million extension to Kingscliff library. These form part of the $17.97 million of projects under year five of the seven-year infrastructure and services plan. These include a $99,955 salary package for an urban design planner, and $106,413 for a health and building surveyor. Some $90,000 will be provided to the cross-border traffic master plan. But these sums pall into insignificance when set beside the $45.66 million for water and sewer works, the chief project being a $28.1 million spend to upgrade the Banora Road wastewater treatment plant. Burringbar and Mooball also get a look in with a $6.4 million

sewerage scheme, while $1.2 million will go towards a water treatment plant in Tyalgum. The natural environment receives $2.7 million, some $30,000 of which will go to putting solar panels on councilowned property in 2012. However, consideration of an environmental levy has been suspended until 2013 at least and there is nothing in the budget for ‘supporting sustainable agriculture’, which last financial year received $99,280. There is a nominal $5,000 put by for a project called ‘plastic bag free town’. Infrastructure projects will include $1.55 million for urban road construction and $1.13 million for rural roads, though the biggest winner is Kennedy Drive which will benefit from a spend this financial year of $910,000. There is nothing this time round for the long-awaited Tweed Heads regional museum

on Flagstaff Hill, but $3 million has been shifted to the 2011/12 projections, even if there is still no certainty the project will ever get off the ground. Likewise, improvements to the Murwillumbah Museum have to wait another year, with $1 million in the forward estimates. Aboriginal community development only scores $66,000 in the budget, just behind the $89,816 allocated to ‘improved services for shire youth’. Costs associated with the controversial world rally event, likely to return in 2011, are revealed with expenses for festivals and events in the budget this financial year rising 60 per cent from $206,890 to $330,699, before falling back to a projected $134,631 in 2012/13. All these figures are contained in the draft management plan, 2010-13, now on public exhibition and for comment until Monday, May 24. Visit www. tweed.nsw.gov.au.

If you have ever wanted to take a trip back in time to the days before coastal development changed the face of the Tweed, then your chance is here. You can see some rare footage of life on the Tweed from the 1920s to the 1960s during a night of vintage films to be screened at the Regent Theatre, Murwillumbah, on Thursday, May 13 at 6.30pm. Showing films from the National Film Archive as well as from locals Charles Simpson and Ray Duke, some of the highlights of the evening include footage from the first Tweed Valley Banana Festival in 1956, the ANZAC day peace march in 1945 and the coronation procession for Queen Elizabeth in 1953. Organiser Liz Bretherton said that she hopes people will come along and help to identify some of the people and places in these films. ‘It’s a different world now, these films really show how unsophisticated the area used to be. We’re hoping the footage might jog people’s memories,

Chillingham Voices more than just a village choir Fence builder Graham Heffernan is more used to knocking in posts than to hitting the right notes. But the baritone, who has never sung in a choir before, will be one of the featured singers in a concert to be given by Chillingham Voices at the Tweed River Art Gallery this Sunday, May 2. ‘I’m really enjoying it, I’ve always loved music but I’ve never had the chance to do anything like this before,’ Graham told The Echo. Soprano soloist Anne Buchanan is better known to visitors as the face of the village’s Banana Cabana, where she works every day selling fruit and bush tucker products from her husband Gerard’s innovative farm. ‘I’m so pleased they started the choir, it gives me something to look forward to every week, Anne said.

Peddling solar-electric power around the world Luis Feliu

Thirty-four year-old Guim Valls Teruel is on a mission: to tour the world on a solarpowered electric bicycle and to show how inexpensive and environmentally friendly sunpowered cycling is as a means of transport. The Spanish-born adventurer spent several days in Tweed recently as a guest of Tweed teachers, Michael and Brenda Connelly, preparing for the next leg of his trip to Sydney. Guim is passionate about his dream project and he’ll happily chat away to anyone interested about the technology he promotes. ‘It’s a 100 per cent sustainable means of transport, especially if you’re recharging the battery from a home with solar power on the roof,’ he said. Guim is using a UK built Wisper electric bike, modified with the addition of a small trailer-mounted solar panel which he and an engineer friend from New Zealand devised in January. The bike uses a 36v/15amps lithium battery which sends power through a controller to the motor on the front wheel. ‘It takes three hours to fully charge, but if you’re recharging from a coal-powered plant, that’s creating too many carbon emissions. By using a spare bat-

tery it’s 100 per cent sustainable if I go slowly, but over long distances you need to plug in so if you have solar on the roof, then it’s a totally sustainable means of transport. ‘To have unlimited power while you’re pedalling is such an amazing feeling.’ A jack of all trades, Guim has worked at a number of professions including chef, events organiser, theatre director, advertising agency director and sound technician. When he started his tour in June last year

from Beijing Olympic Stadium he’d been working in the city as a chef at a Michelin-rated Spanish restaurant for three years. ‘I discovered the electric bike in Beijing,’ said Guim, who speaks six languages including Chinese. ‘In a city of around 16 million people, half are using bicycles as their sole means of transport and of those, around four million are electric-powered ones. There’s 120 million electric bikes in China. ‘It was during the Olympics

in 2008 there that I decided to buy my first one because I thought if everyone rides one to work, I’ll get one. ‘I was going crazy thinking about the possibilities of touring the world on one, I researched them on the internet, I didn’t sleep for a week so I quit my job as I couldn’t concentrate. ‘Since then, I’ve had no income, just surviving and started the world tour in May last year, leaving from the Olympic Stadium with no preparation,

no training, nothing, then covered 150kms a day. ‘I’m not fit, not an athlete, just an average person, but with an electric bike you only do as much as you can, that’s why it’s so awesome. ‘It won’t solve the global warming problem but every little bit helps. My Chinese friends said to me “why promote them? everyone’s got one�, but in China they all use lead/acid batteries which are no good for the environment, and you do less kilometres as you have to charge more often, so it’s not because of their concern for environment but because they’re cheap, end of story. ‘The other positive thing about these bikes is the fitness, you ride and do a little exercise at the same time.’ Guim travels with his hightech communications gadgets including laptop, mobile phone, video camera and stays in touch with his parents in Barcelona regularly via internet video chat. He’s ridden 10,000 kms in the past 11 months from Beijing to South Korea, Japan and through southeast Asia. In Vietnam he stayed for longer than expected after ‘falling in love’ with a local lass, before restarting his journey and travelling onto Malaysia, Indonesia then flying to New Zealand last

December where he took part in an electric bicycle challenge run. Three weeks ago he flew into Brisbane and he hopes to find a sponsor in Australia to keep him going. ‘If I don’t find a sponsor I’ll have to get some work for now but the plan is to continue the tour via India to Turkey, Europe then South America.’ Guim plans to travel a total of 80,000kms, or twice the circumference of the world. It took him six hours to pedal the 125kms from Brisbane to the Tweed. ‘Even if the motor is on, I still pedal, but the extra power helps in windy or steep conditions. ‘I’m a traveller not a cyclist and I’m enjoying the adventure on something so sustainable. With bikes, there’s no taxes, no licence, no insurance or parking fees. ‘Last year, around 25 million electric bikes were sold in the world, 24 million of them in China.

Flat plate collectors perform very well in warm sunny 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.

Will the real Kevin please stand up? Volume 2 #33

April 29, 2010

Caring for old folk The North Coast Area Health Service (NCAHS) recently produced its first area-wide aged-care plan, ‘The Care Of The Older Person 2010-2015’ (it can be downloaded in PDF from www. ncahs.nsw.gov.au/aged-care). It is typical of the terminally politically correct attitude required of government agencies that the plan isn’t known as ‘The Old Farts Manual’ or ‘How To While Away The Time In God’s Waiting Room’. If you read this plan to an old person, make sure you speak very slowly and loudly and smile at them like they’re a baby. Fortunately these stereotypes are being broken down, not least by workshops such as comic Mandy Nolan’s, which have senior citizens hoofing it on stage to brassy music. The NCAHS plan, too, recognises the need to escape from institutionalised thinking about institutionalised care, and to bring aged care back into the wider community. According to the NCAHS, whose area runs from Tweed Heads down to Port Macquarie, the proportion of our population aged 65 years and over is 18 per cent, compared to the NSW average of 14 per cent. This percentage is expected to increase to 23 by 2016, compared to 16 statewide. Obviously there will be a strong demand on already over-stretched services – and, incidentally, a bigger market for entrepreneurs in this age bracket. The federal government at least understands the need for increased funding. The NCAHS plan lists seven priorities in aged care: care of the older person in the inpatient setting; care of the older person in the community and partnerships with community care providers; partnerships with General Practice; partnerships with Residential Aged Care Facilities (RACFs); promoting health in older people; workforce; and coordination and collaboration. Critically, the priority of ‘promoting health in older people’ needs to be preceded with promoting health in young people so that they are not physical wrecks by the time they reach their fifties. Seven seems to be the magic number. As the NCAHS plan notes, a meeting of Australian health ministers in July 2004 identified seven key principles to be addressed in the provision of aged care services. One among them which stands out is ‘unnecessary admissions to hospital and extended hospital stays of the frail elderly are avoided’. This already distresses older people and we also see younger people with degenerative diseases stuck inappropriately in high care units for old people. Pain management – and that elephant in the room, euthanasia – is also likely to become a bigger issue. According to Professor Michael Cousins, who spoke at the recent National Pain Summit (www.painsummit.org.au), the management of pain in Australia is shockingly inadequate. Search ‘painful reality – patients let down’ on the ABC’s 7.30 Report website for a fascinating interview with Prof Cousins. Let’s face it – we are all old farts in waiting, and we have to get used to it. For all of us Baby Boomers still around, the aspiration of The Who – ‘Hope I die before I get old’ – no longer applies. I can only only hope that if my aged care requires internment in Zeus’s waiting room they’ll be playing Purple Haze on the sound system rather than It’s A Long Way To Tipperary. And there is life after 65 – see The Zimmers’s version of My Generation (www.thezimmersonline.com) for resounding proof. – Michael McDonald

an this be the real Kevin Rudd we are seeing? Not the caring, humane Christian, friend of the homeless, chronicler of economic history and dumb animals, star of TV, Facebook and Twitter, but a calculating, ruthless, whatever-it-takes politician, a veritable born-again Richo. Well, probably not; our Prime Minister is a far more complex and complete specimen of humanity than the notorious numbers man. But there were moments last week when the similarities were more apparent than the differences. Rudd retreated to Tasmania while his perpetual clean-up man Greg Combet was sent out with the bad news of the inevitable, final demise of the home insulation program, an announcement which prompted cries of betrayal from the genuine insulators who had stocked up in anticipation of its return. Another junior minister Kate Ellis was given the job of unobtrusively breaking another promise: only 38 of the 260 child care centres aimed at ending ‘the double drop off ’ would actually be built; apparently other places were available and the double drop off was no longer important. Asylum seeker policy had already been reversed: not only were the Afghans and Sri Lankans in limbo, but Chris Evans prepared to reopen the remote Curtin Detention Centre, which The Australian’s Dennis Shanahan belatedly discovered was a hellhole – during the Howard years he had seen it as something of a holiday camp. A task force was examining the Building Education Revolution and the auditors were sent in on the Green Loans Scheme. And to cap it off, the government pulled the plug on any idea of a Bill of Rights for Aus-

C

tralia, a move welcomed by the autocrats of News Limited who know all about human rights and don’t want any unelected judges interfering with their monopoly. This orgy of recantation by the government was euphemistically described as ‘clearing the decks’. Fortuitously, much of it coincided with the revelation that a football club had overpaid some of its players, a news

honouring his election commitments, determined not to fall back on the Howardian formula of ‘non-core promises’ even when there is good reason for doing so. The only real exception has been the private health insurance subsidy, and even then Rudd’s proposal was only to means test this absurd measure rather than abolish it altogether, as he should. But the last fortnight has seen a re-

The orgy of recantation by the government fortuitously coincided with the revelation that a football club had overpaid some of its players… by Mungo MacCallum event of such magnitude that it swamped the media for the rest of the week and seems likely to perform the same salutary function at least until the serious leaking of Ken Henry’s tax review and the budget is set to begin. Interestingly, the club responsible for this earth-shattering crime against civilisation was wholly owned by News Limited, whose chief executive John Hartigan indignantly denied any knowledge or responsibility. This lame and self-serving excuse was apparently quite acceptable, at least to the News Limited publications. The Australian is considered unlikely to demand his resignation with quite the fervour with which it pursued Peter Garrett over the pink batts affair. Similarly, it would seem that Rudd is likely to get away with his massive tergiversations, but they will leave a sour taste nonetheless. Until now he has been almost obsessive about

lentless determination to kill off difficult or embarrassing loose ends in what is clearly the lead up to a no-holds-barred election campaign. We are still getting glimpses of the old Kevin 07, the avuncular figure who won the nation’s trust a mere three years ago. Dr Jekyll has not yet morphed irrevocably into Mr Hyde. But it is a safe bet that in the weeks ahead we will see rather less of Mr Nice Guy. The newly implacable Kevin Rudd was obviously the one on show at COAG, adamant that no one was leaving until he had the agreement he wanted, or at least one that he could sell as a big win. Operating on the widely held and well founded theory that every premier has his price, he simply kept shovelling out the goodies until his chief antagonist, Victoria’s John Brumby, decided that perhaps hanging on to his share of GST was not a sacred inviolable principle

after all, as long as the money kept flowing. Colin Barnett held out, but this was only to be expected as (a) he was the sole Liberal in the Labor den, and (b) he is a Western Australian. In the latter role he has form. Back at the time of federation the West was the only colony that refused to sign up to the new constitution. Its negotiators held out for the ultimate bribe: a promise by the commonwealth to build a railway link between Kalgoorlie and Port Augusta. Rudd clearly believes that Barnett, too, will come to the party when the price is right. Rather more surprising was the premiers’ insistence that they retain a hand in the control of the funding money. From the commonwealth’s point of view part of the attraction of the proposal was to relieve them of that responsibility; the feds would not only shoulder most of the present running costs, and of the huge increases which were predicted in the fairly near future, but would be prepared to take all of the blame if the voters maintained the habit of a lifetime and complained that things weren’t good enough. This was what Rudd meant by ending the blame game, a proposal which seemed to have universal approval. But under the arrangement which Brumby and his colleagues finally negotiated, they will continue to carry their share of the can. In practice the feds will set the terms and conditions for the distribution of the funds, and so will have ultimate control; the likelihood is that the states’ input will eventually wither away. But it was a less than perfect outcome. Still, whatever it takes.

Thank you On behalf of the Tweed Shire Citizens Week Committee, I would like to thank you for your generous support of Seniors Week 2010. There were over 50 events and activities throughout the shire this year and feedback has been excellent. The success of Seniors Week would not be possible without the community spirit and generosity of organisations and individuals such as yourself in the shire. The committee was proud to be able to provide such a diverse and enjoyable program for Tweed Seniors. We look forward to working again with you in the future.

What kind of future will the new LEP bring? ■ Tomorrow, Friday, April 30, is the closing day for submissions on the draft Tweed Shire Local Environment Plan (LEP), the Tweed Centre LEP and Council’s Water Management Strategies. Council will usually accept late submissions if arranged prior to the deadline. These overarching plans will determine the future direction of environmental protection and sustainability for the shire. In relation to the shire wide LEP, council’s user guide clearly states that this ‘stage 1 is a rollover of the existing LEP and that some minor changes have been included’, and goes on to state that ‘the intent of the Vegetation Strategy has now been incorporated’. This is clearly not the case. The Tweed Shire has lost more than 8,000 hectares, about two thirds of the environmental zoned lands, and has been prevented by the state government from including the extra provisions designed to still protect these and other significant areas across the Shire. Of even greater concern is the directive by the state government to remove Council’s clearing controls. These extra controls addressed some of the huge gaps in the state government’s controls.

These plans are a disaster for this internationally recognised biodiversity hotspot that already has, to our great shame, the highest concentration of threatened flora in Australia (Tweed Shire State of the Environment Report 2009). Close to 50 per cent of all mammal extinctions that occurred globally in the last 200 years were in Australia (website: Great Eastern Ranges NSW DECC). Eighty per cent of the Shire is classified high or very high conservation status. This is a fantastic natural asset but for these reasons development in this Shire should be of the highest standard. There are also concerns about raising heights and densities of development across the Shire. The Tweed Centre LEP is set to raise Tweed Heads, Sydney style, to the horror of the Tweed Heads Residents Association. There is a provision in this LEP process to request a public inquiry due to the loss of environmental protection and the densification of Tweed or any other significant issue requested. ‘This is the first generation to be fully aware of the impacts of climate change and the last generation to be able to do anything

right or wrong, good or evil etc. During a debate, Frederick Copleston asked the atheist Bertrand Russell for a basis for his morality. He stated ‘on the basis of feeling – what else?’ Copleston could have said to him, ‘In some cultures people love their neighbours and in others they eat them, both on the basis of feelings. Do you have any preference?’ The majority of atheists just parasitise the morality of the culture that they inhabit, unable to reason from first principles for any basis for their ethical system. The rational atheist, however, will derive his ethics from his religious worldview, which can only be the theory of evolution. The basis then becomes natural selection or

survival of the fittest, ie ‘nature red in tooth and claw’. The atrocities of Stalin, Hitler and Mao reveal in stark detail how desperate and cruel the worldview of atheism can be, if followed consistently. It is no accident that Communism and Nazism claimed Darwin as their patron saint. Hitler was inspired by evolutionary ethics to pursue the utopian project of improving the human race – he was going to aid evolution in producing the super Aryan race! I am neither Anglican nor Catholic, but I would prefer Peter Jensen’s Christian ethics to the Enlightenment’s alternative!

Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland is another example of British imperialism during the reign of Elizabeth I. The Catholics, like our Indigenous, were stripped of their homes and land by the Protestant British. Furthermore, my personal belief is God, in all his incarnates, is teaching the principles of serving others and being community minded. Eastern religions such as Hare Krishnas make a point of distributing food to the general public and the homeless at no cost to the consumer.

Have your say on the dam session after the speakers included different ways in which people could take action individually, or unite as a group to have more cohesiveness and political clout. Byron producer David Warth introduced his film Rainforests, the Secret of Life, which was stunning seen on the large screen, and an inspiration to protect the beauty and biodiversity of the Tweed Caldera. A slideshow of Byrrill Creek area by Peter Symons also illustrated the significant loss if the proposed dam there was given the go-ahead. If you would like a say on the Byrrill Creek Dam issue, submissions to Council on Tweed Shire’s Water Augmentation Supply Options, of which the dam is one of four options, close this Friday, April 30, at 4pm. It does not need to be long, a few sentences are enough emailed to Council at watertsc@tweed. nsw.gov.au or as easy as a free phone call for both water submissions on 1800 826 267 by 12pm, April 30. For a fact sheet to help write submissions, drop in to the Caldera Environment Centre or go to www.calderaenvironmentcentre.org. Demand Water Management submissions and the Tweed LEP submissions are also due on the same day.

Those eight didn’t do their job: their job was to look at four options,’ he said. I reject Cr Phil’s accusation that eight members of the CWG (of which he was a member) were ‘incompetent’. The CWG was organised by council at great ratepayer expense with the CWG spending most of their time on environmental and social issues. The CWG’s final statement against the proposed Byrrill Creek dam came as a result of their deliberation of all facts presented at council organised meetings. It is unknown whether other councillors have briefed Cr Phil prior to his opinion on dams or whether Cr Phil’s enlightenment on his single water supply solution was just another moment of his intuitive competence. Water reuse programs that save drinking water supply are not part of Cr Phil’s water supply solution. I trust that the Tweed community will complete their public submissions on this matter by April 30.

cant to the original Aboriginal owners. These new penalties could impact on any person or persons that break these laws, including farmers, developers and state and local government entities. That should make things very interesting here in the Tweed Shire, with not only the proposed raising of Clarrie Hall dam’s wall, but the push to dam Byrrill Creek and the next staging of the World Rally event. Firstly the raising of the dam wall will inundate several sites in the Doon Doon region that have been identified and documented as being significant by surveys carried out by experts in this field. At threat are meeting places, fishing and swimming holes and various waterfalls, some that are still providing pleasure to both indigenous and non-indigenous people to this day. Unfortunately the majority of these will join the rest of the region’s special and spiritual sites that lie below the water’s surface since the Doon Doon Creek’s original inundation in the early 1980s. Some of these sites briefly appeared several years ago during the drought when the dam level dropped several metres to below 27 per cent capacity. As for Byrrill Creek, the anthropologists who have been crawling all over this area have uncovered numerous sites and evidence that supports the region’s strong Aboriginal cultural heritage, yet if the council and state government are ignorant enough to consider the area suitable to race rally cars through, well, it’s going to take an almighty fight to stop a dam proposal. In 2010 it defies belief that some people still consider it appropriate to push a bulldozer through another people’s cultural havens. Paul D Taylor

Tripling of energy costs puts heat on housing design The possible tripling of energy costs within the next ten years has placed the heat on current housing design principles of the vast majority of mass produced housing in Australia. These housing designs often have poor orientation and a range of energy guzzling appliances, says Archicentre, the building advisory service of the Australian Institute of Architects. Angus Kell, ACT and NSW State Manager of Archicentre, said the statement made by the head of Origin Energy, Chief Executive Grant King last week at a major conference that energy prices could triple in ten years means home owners currently paying $1,700 a year in energy costs will be paying $5,100 annually or over $100 a week for energy. ‘This will come on top of increasing water prices which are set to double as state governments move to claw back the costs of costly desalination plants and other water infrastructure.’ Mr Kell said the skyrocketing costs of energy and water are making the initial investment in water saving and energy efficient design such as siting on the land, double glazing and water tanks a far more attractive economic proposition for home buyers. ‘The escalating costs of energy and water combined with the rapid decline in housing affordability due to taxes, land cost and lack of supply will also be a catalyst for a greater focus on the siting, design, and new materials of homes.’

Mr Kell said the cost saving starts with the design and siting of the home including making provision for natural light in the main living areas and the orientation of the home to gain the maximum benefit for solar heating and provision for water harvesting. Archicentre undertakes over 20,000 reports each year and its Design Concepts consider climatic conditions, prevailing local conditions, site orientation, the zoning or location of the rooms in the home, materials, construction techniques and the building cost. People using the design concept service from Archicentre in the first instance sit down with the architect and build the design and its energy components within the home to accommodate their lifestyle needs and ensure they end up with the home they want. The first step in orientation is maximising the northern aspect, where exposure to the sun is best controlled. Eaves and pergolas can be precisely designed to block the summer sun, and still allow the desirable winter sunshine to penetrate. North-side deciduous trees that shade the house during summer allow prime access to the sun once they have lost their leaves in winter.

keep your radiant self under the radar right now, especially where in-laws are concerned. VIRGO: Saturn retrograde in Virgo, your ruler Mercury retrograde in the sign of money and possessions, Chiron initiating a cycle of deep relationship healing and an intense full moon in your communication sector all equal a very happening week for Virgos. Softly softly, gently gently are your best dance steps… LIBRA: Midweek full moon brings an inner power surge to stand up for what you want or believe in. You need to do your own thing during this highly creative transit whatever others think, so follow your imagination and be prepared to look beyond the obvious.

stouches and having to have the last word will put you in the best mood for this week’s dealings with others just as stubborn as you are. Midweek annual full moon in your sign is always a marvellous night for a moondance… SAGITTARIUS: Old fight or flight patterns might resurface this week, as you wonder whether to keep going or pack it in. Mars in your house of completion says it’s time to stand your ground and work through the current situation, so turn inwards for the guidance you want. CAPRICORN: Everything seems so solidly rooted in material reality it’s hard to see past the world of appearances this week. So keep reminding yourself about growth, about

<echowebsection=TV>

evolution – what’s happening right now isn’t the whole story. Time to slow down and strengthen your spiritual connections. AQUARIUS: Rushing others during this week will only make them stubborn. Sure, waiting till they make up their minds is like watching paint dry, but if you insist, they’ll resist. Venus is bright, breezy and delightfully pleasy, so playing the waiting game won’t be so hard… PISCES: With this week less interested in ideas than things that actually exist, organization’s more important than inspiration. Same for structure, discipline and practical planning, even if they aren’t your natural way of operating. Chiron in Pisces is now placing your focus firmly on inner empowerment.

willing to postpone the match. ‘If Anand came from India it would be another thing, but not from Frankfurt,’ said Sergiev, with a peculiar lack of knowledge of the geographical area where the volcano ash plume had settled. Behind the scenes, Topalov’s manager Silvio Danailov was pulling the strings and last Monday, shortly before an exhausted Anand arrived in Sofia, he decided to accede to a one day postponement. (In theory the decision was supposed to be made by the world body FIDE but in practice the Bulgarians, who were claiming massive financial losses if the match was deferred, held all the cards.) Danailov, who turned the 2006 Topalov-Kramnik world title match into the ‘Toilet Wars’ circus, had already achieved one useful aim; Anand would have preferred to leave all the negotiations and disputes to his wife and manager Aruna but an argument over the starting date inevitably involved Anand himself. Whether or not this was a factor, Anand lost the first game in fairly drastic fashion, but then bounced back to outplay Topalov in the second. The scores are currently tied.

It turns out I’m not fat, I’m just heavily populated. Life forms were discovered after sending a stool sample to the US. It cost over $500 but man, it was worth the big bucks for the opportunity to ‘shit on America’. The company supplied me with the collection kit and then sent a courier to my door to take my poo on its whirlwind journey. No passport required. Just a takeaway container and a chap from Fastways. In just 24 hours my humble Mullumbimby turd was blinking in the bright lights of LA. Here I was struggling to make a buck as a comic in a country town, and my poo had cracked the big time. I opened up a copy of Who Weekly, and who do you think I saw on the red carpet? My Poo.

Mandy Nolan

I

am not alone. I have parasites. I’m not talking children here, I’m talking opportunistic micro organisms congregating in my gut. For this microcivilisation, I am Planet Mandy, the good ship Nolan. Right now, they’re going about their daily business, Mum and Dad Dientamoeba are putting their single cell kids on the big brown school bus, and then heading off to work colonising the small intestine. It’s freaking me out. As the X Files says, The Truth is out there, and frankly, I’d rather not know. My Faecal Analysis (everyone should have one) reveals that I have not one, not two, but four different parasites present. It’s not just a civilisation, it’s bloody multicultural. Right now there’s probably an ameoba in my bowel watching SBS.

For the microbiologists amongst you, let me list my occupants. We have good old Blastocystis. He’s a common fella. Single cell protozoa, causing bloating, flatulence and a malabsorption. Nice. If I was single that would be going on my RSVP profile. Single woman with bloating, flatulence and malabsorption seeks worm loving life partner. I can cope with Blasto, everyone has it. I’ve

lived in Federal and drank unfiltered water. It was bound to happen. Next we have a more sinister occupant, Mr Dientamoeba. Apparently he’s the little chap Vietnam vets came back with. Some of the disease highlights it causes are fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. Pain and tiredness. I’m a mother. It’s part of the job description. All I do is pain and tiredness. Dientamoeba can only be cured by listening to The Doors and reading Kurt Vonnegut. But it’s not all single cell parasites in the intestine, wait, there’s more, we also have a helminth. No, not a German backpacker with a lisp. A parasitic worm. Generally it’s found in cows, horses and sheep. But I seem to have them. I suppose I am a Capricorn born in the Year of the Sheep. If I knew I was at risk I would have taken myself down to the dipping yards. My doctor told me that strongyloides is probably from ingesting cow shit. Because I eat a lot of that. How ironic. If I’d drunk chlorinated tap water and eaten supermarket food sprayed with chemicals I’d be fine. Bloody organic food. It’s a health risk. Now when I go to the fruit and veg shop I only buy produce that’s been contaminated with poison.

My Poo DNA result revealed one final parasitic presence. Except this was even spookier. It just said ‘Parasite present: taxonomy unavailable.’ This is the dark worm. He who has no name. The underworm. It’s hard to sleep at night knowing I have so much company. Every time I eat I’m aware that as a breastfeeding mum, I’m not just eating for two any more, I’m eating for a civilisation. Once the baby and the parasites have had a go at my resources, there’s just not that much left for me. My body has been colonised by foreign entities, and my intestinal tract declared ‘terra nullius’. I keep saying ‘ it’s my body’ but it seems that parasites are as opportunistic as white men and once they’ve set up shop, they refuse to leave. I can’t take any high powered internal explosives until I cease breastfeeding. I intend to continue until Ivy is in high school, so I guess that means I need to make peace with my parasites. I have accepted my lot as a human worm farm. Half woman, half compost bucket. I’ve started to feel a fondness for my intestinal opportunists, and at night, when I crawl into bed, we share a bedtime story. Their favourite is Milton’s Parasites Lost.

Local artist brings Tweed to life The raw beauty of the Northern Rivers’ countryside will be brought to life in a dynamic exhibition of new paintings by Pottsville artist Maryanne Plenkovich. The exhibition, entitled ‘Out of My Garden’, will be held at Kingscliff’s Mantra on Salt Beach resort throughout the month of May. The Salt exhibition marks the first major showing of the artist’s paintings. ‘I love to combine my love for art with my love for this beautiful region,’ Maryanne told The Echo. ‘My work is all about bringing the outside in; I like to create a window to the outside world with the use of large-scale canvas mixed with the raw, organic colours of our beautiful natural countryside.’ ‘I like to focus on tropical succulents like bromeliads, pandanus trees and cordylines by combining acrylic and other materials like two-pac resin to highlight their lush, moist beauty,’ Maryanne said. ‘Out of My Garden’ is open to the public from May 2 to May 31 with a special session to meet the artist to be held on Saturday, May 15 from noon to 2pm. This event will include wine-tasting and lucky door prizes including a meal at the Mantra Cafe and a night’s accommodation at the resort.

CANNABIS LAW REFORM RALLY AND GATHERING may 1-2 Nimbin is attracting visitors for its annual (no18) MardiGrass, the now internationally known cannabis law reform rally and gathering on the ďŹ rst weekend of May. This year MardiGrass is excited by the inevitable change in attitude towards cannabis use. A third of Europe and half of America has all but legalised the once sacred plant.One of the leading exponents of the change, Dr Bob Melamede from Colorado, is coming to MardiGrass to speak to us on the anti-ageing and anti-cancer properties of the endocannabinoids. We will also hear how the newly legal local hemp crop grew this year and how Klara Marosszeky has developed and tested hemp masonry, working with local farmers to grow enough hemp to start building hemp houses. Klara’s hemp masonry is only half the weight of cement, has much better insulation properties, and contains around 25% carbon. As concrete production accounts for 30% of our domestic carbon emissions, by switching from concrete to hempcrete we can become carbon neutral almost immediately. There are three stages with over ďŹ fty performers and bands and endless other entertainment including the MardiGrass market, pot art and poetry, cannabis cooking

‘Every year until we are not criminals,’ says Michael Balderstone, spokesperson for MOB (The MardiGrass Organising Body. )

classes, hash making and vapourizer demos, joint rolling, bong throwing, hemp rope tug ’o peace and the grower’s iron person event in the Hemp Olympix, the Kombi Konvoy followed by the Global Marijuana March Protest, Mass 420 Enlightenment, Pot Art Tattoo, Obama lookalike, Kidz Circus, legal advice sessions, buskers competition, hemp movies including the world premiere of ‘The Hemp Solution’. The central event, the Rally and Parade for Cannabis Law Reform Sunday afternoon wil will see Nimbin’s llegendary Ganja Faeries joined by the Bringabong Babes this year. As the festival is not only a protest o of the ridiculous prohibition laws but also a showcase of the plant’s medicinal qualities, this year we are focusing on laughter (the second best medicine). Doctors and dealers agree, under prohibition, pot should be diluted with heaps of laughter for most efďŹ cacious results. Sorrensen and Glover are joined this year by Akmal Saleh, Sean Choolburra and Nick the Hippy, not to mention all the other funny people to be found about the strange little village of Nimbin.

Thanks to the enthusiastic policing of recent years you will also witness or can join the Nimbin Jungle Patrol or the Polite Service, backed by CLOG (Civil Liberties Observor Group) and JAG (Justice Action Group) this year, dedicated bands of volunteers tasked with keeping the cops honest and giving them an example of how community policing could be done.

A one day pass is $20 for a huge day of educational entertainment and it’s all in support of the wonder plant without which our alternative movement on the north coast would never have come into being! www.nimbinmardigrass.com

Tour de Dave for Endeavour Foundation

The biggest ever Tour de Dave cycling event is coming to Murbillumbah this weekend, May 1 and 2. Twenty-four avid cyclists will ride in the fifth annual Tour de

Someone in Murwillumbah is using a newish, three-wheeler pram taken from the carpark out the back of the Salvation Army shop in Murwillumbah, which doesn’t belong to them. The black Mountain Buggy Swift pram, with a lime green interior trim, belonged to a young family which moved into town from the Sunshine Coast last Thursday. Husband accidentally left it there as he loaded up second-hand furniture into his car but on returning soon afterwards, it was gone. Anyone who could help is asked to return the pram to 13 Byangum Road, Murwillumbah (no questions asked) or call Lisa on 0431 348 251. Needless to say the family is heartbroken as they are struggling and unable to replace the all-terrain pram which also had all the baby’s bottles etc in it. Lisa said that the person who took it most likely thought someone had left it for the Salvos.

Fishing for food or even for sport is okay if you catch and release, but the lack of respect for life by leaving the fish to die is an insult to nature and just plain stupid.

More than 300 people put their left legs in, then put their left legs out and shook them all about as part of a giant hokey pokey at the Hosanna Farmstay family fun day at Stokers Siding on Anzac Day last Sunday. The massive hokey pokey was one of the highlights of the day, organised by the Christian Community of Murwillumbah to provide a low cost (everything but the food and drink was free), family day. There were medieval games, craft workshops and even bands to enjoy. And it seems the families loved it, more than 1,200 people joined in this year, well up on last year’s 700. Farmstay owner and one of the event organisers, Alex Reynolds said the event ran incredibly smoothly with none of the parking problems which haunted the inaugural event last year.

We’re not surprised to hear that another dinosaur car-racing event company is on the verge of going under and leaving taxpayers $30 million out of pocket. Greens MP Sylvia Hale has called on ASIC to investigate the operations of drag racing company Western Sydney International Dragway, the company that operates the Eastern Creek Dragway. She said the latest accounts submitted to ASIC indicated the company, which has a 25-year lease from the State Government to operate the Eastern Creek Dragway, had lost $758,000 in 2007/08 and appears to be continuing to lose significant amounts of money. Should the company fail, $30 million of public funds

invested in the venture could be lost entirely, Ms Hale said. As we’ve said before car racing and taxpayer money shouldn’t mix.
